Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Expecting Their First Child
West Announced That Kardashian Is Pregnant Last Night
Before a sold out stadium in Atlantic City, NJ, Kanye West last night announced that his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, is expecting his baby.
With his bff Jay Z and Kris Jenner looking on, West sang, "Now You Having My Baby" and before the Internet knew what hit it, the news went viral. Kardashian's sisters tweeted the news (kourtney wrote" Another anger to welcome to our family," and Khloe tweeted "Keeping secrets is hard with so many family members! Especially when you are so freaking excited! Love is everything!")
The hitch here? Kardashian is still legally married to Kris Humphries whom she married in August last year and the divorce is still in the works. Regardless, She and West have been very public with their relationship since they first admitted they were dating in March of this year.
If reports that she's three months along are accurate, we can look forward to meeting the little bundle of joy in June. In the meantime, one thing's for sure, we will be bombarded with photos of Kardashian's "baby bump" until she goes into labor and then we'll no doubt be treated to the first photos of the child by whichever magazine coughs up the most dough for the first rights.
Batten down the hatches, this is going to be one heckofa paparazzi ride.

*The following is archival content from 2003, hosted on the original X PRIZE website, to maintain authenticity.
Quote from Len Cormier
"The X PRIZE provides a potentially powerful incentive for opening space to commercial competition and development. Our concept appears to be feasible with far lower investment than any of the other concepts proposed for winning the X PRIZE. Accordingly, we feel that we can offer a potentially leveraged return on investment based solely upon potential revenues from sponsors and possibly the prize money. Like the other teams, we also feel that even a good showing with respect to competing for the X PRIZE could be highly beneficial to our other plans of commercial opportunities in near Earth orbit and deep space."
Flight Sequence
PanAero will create the SabreRocket by modifying an existing Sabre-40 jet. The Sabre-40, already certified to fly at mach 0.8 at 45,000 feet (13,716 meters), will use the existing air breathing turbojet engines only until the altitude of 11 km. At this time, the pilot will ignite a center rocket engine and start a pull-up and climb. After about 30 seconds, the pilot will start two more rocket engines, increasing the climb angle to about 50 degrees. At about 15.5 km altitude, the pilot will start the remaining four rocket engines and continue the pull-up to an 85 degree flight-path angle. At the time when all the rocket propellant is consumed, the SabreRocket will have reached a speed of mach 2.97 at an altitude of approximately 54 km.
From an altitude of 55 km and a speed of mach 2.97, it will take the SabreRocket approximately 100 seconds to coast past the 100 km altitude limit at a speed of approximately mach 0.4. The vehicle reaches the apogee of its flight at an altitude of 102 km and then begins its free fall decent. For approximately another 80 seconds, the SabreRocket descends unpowered. The total time that crew and passengers experience weightless conditions is approximately 180 seconds.
Using the attitude control system, the pilot reenters the atmosphere at an 85 or 90-degree flight-path angle and an angle-of-attack of 70 degrees. In this attitude, the wings act as a parachute or drag brake. For this phase of the flight, the wing is much more effective at generating drag than lift. This technique will minimize mach number on reentry and will also minimize the reentry g's and heating. Preliminary calculations suggest that provisions required for thermal protection during the transient heating period should be minimal. The SabreRocket will land on a horizontal runway.

The 1880 Society
The 1880 Society was inspired by the ideals of Daniel Flory, who founded Bridgewater College in 1880 by offering a "hearty welcome to all seeking knowledge." Back then, tuition was $3.00 per month and board was $10.00. Wouldn't it be wonderful if that were the case today?
Significant resources are necessary to provide the excellent liberal arts education for which Bridgewater College is known. To ensure that Bridgewater continues to offer that "hearty welcome" to all who wish to attend, we need to provide scholarships for qualified students.
The 1880 Society is the College's premier giving recognition society. It is comprised of a select group of donors who make gifts of $1,000 or more to the College. The society's primary role is to support the College in its mission to educate and develop the whole person. All donors, regardless of gift designation, are recognized at the appropriate gift level.
Unrestricted gifts at the 1880 Society levels support the Bridgewater Fund, an annual revenue source that enables the College to direct money to the greatest needs of the institution. Many of these gifts provide scholarship support which allow worthy students to attend Bridgewater College.
The Bridgewater College community is extremely grateful for the support received from our alumni, parents and friends. Members of the 1880 Society continue a generous tradition of giving each year. Your gift gives our students the potential to become leaders, living ethical, healthy, useful and fulfilling lives with a strong sense of personal accountability and civic responsibility.

Tight times, tough choices
The School Board faces some tough decisions in the coming days, as it grapples
with how to reduce its approved FY2009 operating budget by approximately $9 million. Budget cuts are necessitated after reductions in expected state and local revenue. The reduction in funding will have a negative impact on Chesterfield County Public Schools.
The school division has been fortunate in the past to receive state and local funding that has allowed it to become what U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings recently described as a "model" for high-achieving school divisions. While there is competition for local funding and a limited amount of resources, the School Board
and administration have remained disciplined to operate within the funding formulas established by the county and state. The revenue we receive seems to fall below the agreed upon funding formula, but we continue to use tax dollars efficiently and effectively:
- In recent years, state calculations show that our per-pupil expenditure has been one of the 15 lowest among the state's 132 school divisions.
- According to a Standard and Poor's comparison of reading and math achievement based on money spent, Chesterfield County Public Schools ranked third compared to similar sized localities. That's an outstanding achievement when you remember our low ranking on per-pupil expenditures.
The county has benefited from the services the school division provides its students. With the recently approved tax-rate cut, we'll have to look at how we do business and what services we provide. That could mean instructional and communications programs that have proven to increase student achievement. That could mean teacher's salaries, which could impact student achievement. That could mean cuts to requested safety personnel, and we all want our children to be safe in school. That could mean major maintenance projects at older schools that won't be completed.
We're going to take time now to study areas that could be cut. We will try to make cuts in our budget that minimize any negative impact on student learning. However, actions that reduced the School Board's adopted budget present a serious challenge to our abilities to sustain current levels of service to a growing population.

"Algebra for All" is opportunity for all
In its final report, the National Mathematics Advisory Panel recently noted that algebra is a "demonstrable gateway to later achievement." Numerous studies have found that students who take higher-level mathematics courses in high school are likely to be more successful in college and will reap the benefits in the form of future income.
In an effort to increase mathematics opportunities for all students and decrease achievement gaps between students, Chesterfield County Public Schools is moving quickly to provide algebra instruction to every student by eighth grade. Providing algebra instruction at the middle school level instead of in high school frees up students to explore other mathematics opportunities.
The goal of Chesterfield's "Algebra for All" initiative is to have all eighth-grade students enrolled in an algebra class by the start of the 2008-09 school year. Five middle schools – Carver, Chester, Falling Creek, Providence and Swift Creek – have nearly 100 percent of their eighth graders enrolled in an algebra, geometry or Algebra II class this year. Divisionwide the eighth-grade enrollment rate for algebra for the 2007-08 school year is 61.8 percent, which is up from 33 percent in previous years.
To achieve its goal of 100 percent enrollment, the Instructional Department made several changes in its middle school curriculum. Students in sixth and seventh graders were enrolled in Middle School Math I and Middle School Math II. Teaching time was nearly doubled for math, and course content was streamlined by overlapping and combing similar mathematic skills and concepts. Doing so prepares eighth-grade students for some level of algebra.

February 22
Closing schools
Many factors play into decisions to close schools or open them late. One factor, however, is constant: The safety and well-being of our students is at the forefront any time I consider such decisions.
During weather conditions such as this morning's, we rely on reports from many area officials. Because some of our buses are on the road as early as 5:30 a.m., our staff begins reviewing conditions throughout the county as early as 3 a.m. Transportation Department employees check bus routes throughout the county and monitor weather reports for changes that could affect road conditions. We also are in contact with the Chesterfield County police and the Virginia Department of Transportation for the latest information on road conditions and potential problem areas.
The reports we received this morning gave us no reason to believe it was not safe to open schools on time. Surrounding school divisions include neighborhoods that are 45-50 minutes north of Chesterfield County. It is entirely possible that their weather or road conditions are completely unlike those in Chesterfield County, making it necessary for those districts to have delayed openings.
Chesterfield County Public Schools takes seriously the health, safety and well-being of all students who are entrusted to our care. Our decisions are made with their best interests in mind.
February 8, 2008
Offering freshmen a fresh start
Our FY2008 and the proposed FY2009 budgets include funds for safety nets that focus on creating a nurturing learning environment and building relationships that support academic success, promote positive attitudes and work habits and monitor overall well-being for students who may be at risk of dropping out of school.
Spring Forward is an initiative designed to help students make the transition to high school, historically one of the most difficult transitions for students to make. During the 2006-07 school year, 4 percent of Chesterfield freshmen failed five or more classes during their first semester. Spring Forward will allow a freshman who did not have a positive academic beginning to his/her high school career the opportunity to restart at second semester and earn four credits in an alternative academic setting.
The program, which began this week, is housed at the Chesterfield Technical Center. Students take ninth-grade English, history, physical education and an elective focused on building trades. Students also have the opportunity to attend summer school and take a fifth subject – most likely math or science. With five credits in hand, they will be 10th graders next year.
Spring Forward supports Goal 1 (academic excellence for all) and Goal 2 (safe, supportive and nurturing learning environments) of our new Design for Excellence: Six-Year Improvement Plan. For more information about Spring Forward, contact coordinator Jim Hoover at 381-1607.

Design for Excellence strengthened by audit recommendations
As a leader in education, Chesterfield County Public Schools' employees are committed to continuous improvement. We work daily to create a safe, nurturing and dynamic learning environment that produces self-directed learners prepared to succeed in the 21st century. A responsibility of a strong school system is working with partners and being held accountable for the tax dollars we are entrusted to spend for educating our children.
Continuous improvement and accountability are two reasons CCPS recently underwent a curriculum management audit by Phi Delta Kappa. Most school systems are reluctant to conduct a curriculum audit. We are neither reluctant nor will we rest on our accomplishments.
The School Board received Phi Delta Kappa's audit report on January 22. Many of the recommendations in the audit can be addressed immediately. In fact, many of the items already are being implemented through our newly adopted Design for Excellence six-year strategic plan.
The future is tomorrow, but the time to act is today. To find out more about the Design for Excellence, visit http://chesterfield.k12.va.us/CCPS/About_CCPS/Six-yearplan.htm. Working together, we will build on our successes. Working together, we will take Chesterfield County Public Schools from good to great!
January 18, 2008
Safe schools are successful schools
Our community expects its schools to be a safe haven where children are provided the best educational opportunities available. That expectation is one of the reasons for Goal No. 2 of our new strategic plan: a safe, secure and nurturing learning environment for every school.
Our school division has always been committed to providing an environment conducive to learning, and we remain thankful that all of our schools are deemed safe according to data compiled by the Virginia Department of Education. We have been successful by conducting bullying-prevention training, crisis prevention and management training and annual safety reviews of our facilities. However, we realize that as society changes, so must our efforts to provide the safest school environment possible. With that in mind, CCPS last year created a task force of school employees and law enforcement representatives to develop an in-house safety audit that exceeded the requirements of the audit already mandated by the state.
The CCPS-specific audit, which was finalized late last year, looks at access and egress, classrooms and trailers, restrooms, grounds, maintenance, policies and crisis management. The audits are ongoing and will provide the division with a report on what we need to do to improve safety and security in our buildings.
During the past year, to further enhance the safety of our schools, we also partnered with the Chesterfield Police Department for a Secure Our Schools grant, increased training for our security officers and installed cameras in middle and elementary schools. Additional efforts, such as placing security officers in our middle schools (in addition to existing School Resource Officers), are planned in the proposed FY2009 budget we will present to the School Board next week.
We hope the community will be involved in and supportive of our efforts. Security evaluations are a necessary inconvenience that we will all appreciate in the long term.

Working to prevent bullying
Bullying occurs when someone with more power hurts someone with less power. Bullying can lead to mental and physical stress, low self-esteem, poor academic performance and, in some cases, school violence.
While statistics indicate a decrease in bullying in Chesterfield schools, we are not letting down our guard and are celebrating the Virginia School Boards Association's recognition of January as Bullying Prevention Month. Providing a safe, secure and nurturing learning environment is one of the priority goals identified in our new strategic plan. Research indicates that students cannot succeed if they do not feel safe within their learning environment.
Many programs and support services are in place to prevent bullying. Here's a look at different approaches schools are using:
- Olweus Bullying Prevention Program: schoolwide framework addressing bullying and victimization at the individual, classroom, school and community level
- Second Step: curriculum that supports the development of empathy, problem-solving, impulse control and anger management
- Al's Pals: curriculum targeting very young children and developing empathy while teaching anger management, problem solving and impulse control
- Success in Stages ― Building Respect: computer-based program consisting of three 30-minute lessons delivered a month apart to encourage empathy, understanding and involvement
Parents who believe their children are being bullied should
- contact a school counselor.
- contact Chesterfield County's Mental Health Department at 748-1227.
- visit www.stopbullyingnow.org for additional information.

A full agenda for the new year
The holidays provided an opportunity to celebrate our faith, relax, reflect and spend time with loved ones. Having been re-energized, it's now back to business as the school system addresses a full agenda for 2008.
Chesterfield's two newly elected School Board members will join three re-elected members. They will appoint a new chair and vice chair who will guide their work to achieve school division priorities and communicate the board's mission and vision to school staff members, county officials and community members.
Phi Delta Kappa International will deliver the long-awaited report of its curriculum management audit of Chesterfield County Public Schools. The report promises to be hard-hitting and guaranteed to move us out of our comfort zone. We will also soon receive findings from a communications audit that investigated how effectively we are telling the story of Chesterfield County Public Schools.
If we dare to be great, we must be willing to identify our deficiencies and face tough challenges. In the words of Jim Collins, "good-to-great companies continually refined the path to greatness with the brutal facts of reality." These audit reports will provide external analysis and recommendations to support our efforts for continuous improvement. After Phi Delta Kappa presents the curriculum management audit on Jan. 22, we will begin drafting an action plan to implement the report's recommendations.
Another important item on our agenda is developing the FY2009 operating budget, which is the driving force behind all of our initiatives. Other agenda items include the opening of Scott and Winterpock elementary schools and recruiting and hiring of staff for the next school year.

How to get where we want to go
As Alice learned from the Cheshire Cat, if you don't know where you're going, it doesn't matter what road you take.
But Chesterfield County Public Schools knows where it wants to go. Our vision for 2012 is that every school will be a thriving, dynamic and inspiring educational environment that produces self-directed learners and stimulates citizens of all ages
to trust in, invest in and benefit from public education.
The road that will get us to that vision is the Design for Excellence, a dynamic strategic plan for continuous improvement. Created by innovation teams that included 200 community volunteers and numerous school officials, the Design for Excellence offers research-based methods for moving the school system forward.
The plan has four priority goals:
Goal 1. Academic excellence for all students
Goal 2. Safe, supportive and nurturing learning environments
Goal 3. Knowledgeable and competent teachers and administrators
Goal 4. Community investment in schools
Practical steps have begun to achieve each goal. More comprehensive action will be undertaken over the next six years.
To make sure that students are prepared for their futures, they will learn 21st-century skills including technology, digital-age literacy, global connections, inventive thinking and effective communication. Each child will always be expected to enroll in appropriately rigorous classes and perform at his or her highest level. There will be safety nets of support for students who need assistance.
The School Board is scheduled to vote Dec. 11 on the Design for Excellence. The full plan and proposed revisions are online at chesterfield.k12.va.us; click on "Design for Excellence" on the right side of the screen. The plan is also available for review in schools and county libraries. Parent, staff and community input is welcome via e-mail to email@example.com.

High expectations for all students
Chesterfield County Public Schools is positioning all students to achieve at high levels in math.
Chesterfield County Public Schools is the largest school division in Virginia moving quickly to provide algebra instruction to every student by eighth grade, and this fall we moved closer to achieving that goal by September 2008.
In the fall of 2005, five middle schools began implementing a new mathematics program designed to enroll all students in algebra by the eighth grade. Currently, all eighth-grade students in Carver, Chester, Falling Creek, Providence and Swift Creek middle schools are enrolled in algebra or in a higher math course. Our other middle schools began implementing the new mathematics sequence in September 2006, which means that for the 2008-2009 school year all comprehensive middle schools will enroll eighth-grade students in algebra.
Algebra for all eighth-grade students is one example of Chesterfield County Public Schools' efforts to achieve academic excellence for all students, which is Goal 1 of the school system's strategic plan, the Design for Excellence.

Elections and education
In a few days, Virginia voters will elect representatives to the legislature, boards of supervisors, school boards and other offices.
One of the most important issues of our time is the quality of public education. An educated and informed citizenry is the foundation of a free democracy. Providing quality public education is one of the fundamental responsibilities of our government. As the Constitution of Virginia, Article I, Section 15, states: "free government rests, as does all progress, upon the broadest possible diffusion of knowledge, and … the Commonwealth should avail itself of those talents which nature has sown so liberally among its people by assuring the opportunity for their fullest development by an effective system of education."
Several professional organizations have joined together to agree on reasonable expectations in support of a quality education system. These organizations include
the Virginia Association of School Superintendents, Virginia School Boards Association, Virginia Education Association and Virginia PTA:
- Full funding for the General Assembly's minimum foundation school finance program for K-12 public education in order to "enable each student to develop the skills that are necessary for success in school, preparation in life and reaching their full potential."
- Support for the General Assembly to approve rebenchmarking the Standards of Quality so the standards are "realistic in relation to the Commonwealth's current education needs and practices."
- Funding by the General Assembly for 12-month raises on the scales within the linear weighted average using real inflation figures derived from annual reports from the divisions.
- Revising the loan cap in relation to building costs and providing additional resources to address school construction needs across Virginia.
- Spending public tax dollars for K-12 public education only on K-12 public schools.
- Opposition to tuition tax credits, scholarships and vouchers (such as special education and 4-year-old preschool programs).
- Increased funding for at-risk programs.
- Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, better known as No Child Left Behind.
Citizens of all ages benefit from strong schools. The solvency of our nation, economic stability of our communities, improvement of the human condition and perpetuation of our values can only become a reality through education. As King Solomon said, knowledge produces wisdom, justice, judgment and equity.
Election Day is when voters have the opportunity to elect officials who truly understand the salient issues of the day and who state categorically their support for quality education.

Mark Twain wrote, "The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not." Dr. Seuss had a similar thought when he wrote that "Life's a great balancing act." To maintain a balance in my life, I try to maintain physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health by eating properly, exercising daily and setting aside time for prayer and reading Scripture and other inspirational literature.
Balance is imperative when trying to negotiate 60- to 80-hour workweeks. Last week was a typical workweek: I attended a Virginia Association of School Superintendents conference in Virginia Beach and a Virginia School Boards Association leadership conference in Charlottesville. We heard from a former state superintendent of public instruction, Dr. Bill Bosher, as well as current state superintendent, Dr. Billy Cannaday Jr. We also heard from Virginia's secretary of education, Dr. Tom Morris, who shared a sobering financial outlook for the commonwealth.
On Wednesday and Thursday, I had great meetings with a Virginia Commonwealth University task force on educational leadership and with the president of the Chesterfield Education Association. I also had an opportunity to observe our first Principal for a Day event, where our school division partnered with the Chesterfield Business Council to give business leaders an opportunity to experience a day in the life of a principal. The highlight of the week was our eighth annual Teachers of the Year gala, sponsored by our school division and the Chesterfield Public Education Foundation, to honor an outstanding teacher in each school. Our teachers are the greatest!
These wonderful events were balanced with several challenges: The media reported last week that a former Chesterfield teacher, represented by the ACLU and a local law firm, filed a lawsuit claiming he was dismissed for paintings he creates using his rear and other body parts. Also last week, we responded to parents concerned about longer bus rides for children attending specialty centers. Unfortunately, we have a critical shortage of bus drivers, which has caused problems. Our staff will continue to make adjustments to provide the most efficient transportation possible.Finally, we were all disappointed to learn last week that two new elementary schools scheduled to open in November will not open until sometime after winter break. Fortunately, our students are resilient and continue to receive quality instruction in spite of our challenges.

Looking with new eyes
This week, Chesterfield County Public Schools hosted a team of dedicated, successful, high-powered educators from across the country who looked with fresh eyes at our school system to help us see where improvements are needed.
At our request, these 13 trained auditors from Phi Delta Kappa International conducted a curriculum management audit of our school system. On an exhausting schedule, the audit team looked into every corner of Chesterfield County Public Schools. The auditors collected and reviewed documents. They interviewed school employees, administrators, parents and other community members. They visited every classroom in every school.
This audit is something like a longtime homeowner who asks his successful and talented neighbor to catalog all the problems that the homeowner's house has and suggest ways to fix those problems. It is not easy to ask for a critique, but sometimes it takes an outsider to see what needs to be done. We believe that the 13 superintendents, principals, school board members, curriculum specialists and teachers of the audit team will discover places for improvement, places that we may have grown accustomed to stepping past without really seeing.
Without a doubt, we have a good school system. All our schools are accredited. Our students outperform state and national averages. Our students, teachers and staff members consistently win state, regional and national awards. Families move into Chesterfield so their children can be educated in our schools.
But our vision is not to be a good school system. Our vision is to be a "thriving, dynamic and inspiring educational environment that produces self-directed learners." I believe that we will achieve our vision and become a standard-bearer in education. The report that the Phi Delta Kappa audit team will deliver to us in January will help us get there. I thank every school system employee, parent and community member who took the time to communicate with the auditors. Together, we will achieve our vision.

No Child Left Behind
We are now 16 days into the new school year, and it has been busy and exciting to say the least. During the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting 20 schools full of energized students and staff members. My days have also included about 75 meetings, with two of the more interesting meetings occurring last week.
On Wednesday I and other educators met with Congressman Bobby Scott (3rd District of Virginia), Virginia Secretary of Education Tom Morris and State Superintendent for Public Instruction Billy Cannaday to discuss recommendations for the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind. On Friday I met with Congressman Eric Cantor (7th District of Virginia), U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Raymond Simon and several neighboring superintendents and school board members for a roundtable discussion of the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind.
Both meetings gave some encouragement that this law will be reauthorized to more reasonably hold schools accountable for meeting the needs of all children.
A summary legislative draft proposal recommends support for improved graduation rates and allows states to use more than a single test for accountability. But the recommendation with the potential for the most significant change might be allowing the state to integrate measurements of student academic growth into the state's definition of adequate yearly progress. Rather than mandating the use of one specific growth model, the bill lays out principles for growth models, thus allowing flexibility and innovation as new models are developed. In other words, rather than comparing this year's students to last year's students, the new recommendation would measure students' growth over time.
No Child Left Behind is a law with good intentions, but it is profoundly flawed in its current form. Let us hope that our elected officials on Capitol Hill will join together in a bipartisan process to provide our schools with the support they deserve and a law that makes common sense.

A great start
The 2007-2008 school year got off to a great start today for about 59,000 students in Chesterfield County Public Schools. Nothing can replicate the anticipation and excitement of the first day. Over the past few weeks, teachers, administrators and other staff members have been working diligently to chart the course for a smooth opening in hopes of setting the stage for another banner school year - many employees worked throughout the Labor Day weekend to put the finishing touches in place.
I had incredible experiences visiting several schools today, beginning at 7:15 a.m. at Clover Hill High School. I shared our priorities with people throughout the region during a live interview on WRVA radio before attending a Boo-Hoo Party for kindergarten parents at Grange Hall Elementary. Then I was off to visit Spring Run Elementary and Providence Middle schools before having lunch with the wonderful students at Ettrick Elementary. I concluded my first-day visits with a tour of Matoaca Elementary. It was a thrill to witness the elation of students as they greeted friends; the on-task behavior of students and staff members; and the nurturing and tender manner in which some parents released their children into the welcoming hands of their child's first teacher.
Our staff is to be commended for the thoughtful planning and professionalism that translated into a wonderful opening day for our students: Bus drivers greeted some children at the crack of dawn with friendly smiles. Custodians eagerly provided assistance to make sure the buildings and grounds were inviting. Secretaries, guidance counselors, attendance clerks and others patiently enrolled new families. Food services workers prepared delicious meals. Central office workers provided a helping hand along with other volunteers in schools wherever needed.
I never cease to be amazed by the encouragement and cooperation among
home, school and community when it comes to support our students in
this county. Our challenge is to maintain this high level of commitment,
morale and enthusiasm and to make each of the next 180 school days great
days as well.

Hope and encouragement
Several weeks ago, I attended the Educational Research and Devlopment Institute in St. Louis. The mission of the institute is to provide a forum for dialogue between school superintendents and corporate leaders to shape products and services that will inspire excellence in education and enrich the achievement of all learners.
Through ERDI panels, corporate clients converse with educational insiders. Corporate clients typically modify products, services and marketing plans to better meet the needs of educators and learners, improve programs for all learners and create better schools for America.
I always look forward to participating in conversations about cutting-edge educational research at these institutes, but equally beneficial is the opportunity to collaborate with some of the nation's leading educators.
During the most recent conference, I was inspired by Mike Kneale, former superintendent and co-founder of the Educational Research and Development Institute. Mike has the dubious distinction for being one of the only survivors in the world of five different cancers. He travels the globe speaking about the importance of valuing people and the institutions that develop them. Mike has an uncanny ability to make everyone he meets feel special. Through his positive attitude, determination and faith, he has proven a dismal medical diagnosis wrong over and over again. Mike continues to spread his message of hope and encouragement. While his messages are child-centered, he also reminds listeners that education is a people business and that we must take good care of our educators.
Members of my immediate staff, employees throughout our school district and even students have been diagnosed with cancer and other illnesses. I encourage everyone to be encouraged and inspired by people like Mike Kneale, who has dedicated his career to education and who has overcome what seemed like impossible odds in the process. As Gen. George Patton once said, "Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom."

Time for reflection
Summer is typically a time of reflection for public school educators. Most of our students are now on vacations with their families, attending camps, working summer jobs or in some cases attending summer school. Concurrently, most educators are attending conferences, enrolled in graduate classes or working a second job, while trying to prepare for a new school year that holds the potential of being the best year ever. Sandwiched between these activities, we try to find time for reflection and for reconnecting with our families, catch up on reading the books piling up on our nightstands and bookshelves or get reacquainted with a neglected hobby or favorite pastime.
As I reflect during these hot and hazy summer days on my first year as superintendent of Chesterfield County Public Schools, I am appreciative of the opportunity to serve the students and community of such an awesome school system. Almost every day I meet parents, grandparents, business leaders, elected officials and other people who express their gratitude for the work of our educators. Chesterfield County Public Schools is an award-winning school system with employees who take great pride in their schools and the success of their students.
Nonetheless, I am mindful to balance our tremendous successes with the sobering reality of the profound challenges facing our schools: coping with significant growth and the need to accommodate almost 1,100 new students each year; maintaining academic excellence for all children; recruiting and retaining a highly qualified workforce; keeping our children safe from threats, bullying, child predators, drugs, abuse and neglect, cyber crime and other negative influences; and providing adequate resources for the continuous improvement that produces graduates prepared for global citizenship.
Reflecting on our successes and challenges causes me to realize that I am blessed beyond measure for having this unique opportunity to facilitate learning for more than 58,000 students. Education is the great equalizer in American society; it provides each child with hope for a better tomorrow and with the potential to change the human condition. Educators help prepare young people to pursue their dreams of becoming the nurses, doctors, technicians, inventors, leaders and humanitarians of our civilization. One of my favorite quotes comes from Christa McAuliffe, the teacher-astronaut who died in the Challenger explosion in 1986. She said, "I touch the future, I teach."
I am most fortunate to be an educator.

After signing Randy Moss and Perrish Cox, the 49ers have been relatively quiet. They've been rumored to bring in guys, but no serious outside acquisitions have been made, just departures. The 49ers have been linked to numerous guys, particularly at the offensive line and wide receiver positions. At this point, we've only been able to come away with the implication that they would sign guys at each position of need.
Former Carolina Panthers offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz, and former Pro Bowler Leonard Davis have been reportedly in some sort of talks with the San Francisco front office, but no signings have been made. With the departure of Adam Snyder to division rival Arizona Cardinals, and the willing release of Chilo Rachal, the 49ers left us with the implication that they would get two new offensive linemen.
Unquestioned fan favorite Joshua Morgan was allowed to walk, and found a home with the Washington Redskins, who have been busybodies this offseason. And Ted Ginn is taking meetings, reportedly linked to the Detroit Lions. With only Kyle Williams, Michael Crabtree and Randy Moss, the 49ers receiving corps is certainly not done being addressed. Once again, we are left with the implication, but no action -- yet.
And finally, Alex Smith. Both sides, Smith's people and the 49ers front office, have openly stated that a deal is as good as done and Smith will indeed return in 2012. But it's been quiet ever since to say the least. Only the implication that the 49ers will bring him back.
At this point, I think it's safe to say that Niners Faithful would like to see some more action, instead of the vague promise of new blood and solidification at the quarterback position. It's a curious situation, and I wonder what the 49ers are up to, but my trust is in their hands and I don't think they'll let us down.
The Implication (via sunnyonfx)
According to reports, wide receiver Mario Manningham will leave San Francisco without a contract.

Shared at Steasy66's on the day of its release by Dave, thanks! Poured into a snifter.
Oddly cloudy and rusty hued, appearance is the only downside of this beer. Very very good aroma with plenty of toast, toffee, coconut and barrel notes. The aroma is smooth and rounded out, but the taste is a little rough... and I like it!
Very sharp tasting, with liquor like features, strong toffee and some bitterness. It would be nice to see the bitterness fall off a little, but the sharpness/heat, I don't mind at all.
Someone remarked that the carbonation was low, I thought it was just right. The body is not syrupy because of the booze I think, but some sweetness lingers in the finish.
I was on fence about dropping 20 bucks a pop on something no one has tried before, but I am quite happy.

Bottle from the second Lunker release. Pours a dark caramel color with not quite one finger of head that slowly settled to a thin cap. Moderate amount of sticky lacing is left down the glass. Very good looking for a massive ABV beer.
Strong aroma of caramel, rye whiskey, vanilla, and earth. Picking up some fruity esters as well. The alcohol is present but not obviously overpowering.
Surprisingly gentle on the palate despite the alcohol. Probably helped by the bottle having some age on it allowing the heat to die down some. The big malty flavors are complimented by the barrel not overpowered by it. Flavors of caramel, toffee, and toasted bread. Hints of earth, wood, and some fruity esters. The Templeton Rye barrel adds more flavors of caramel as well as some vanilla. I would of liked a little bit more whiskey flavor. Alcohol in the finish has some heat and flavor but does not seem as harsh as many beers with an ABV half as much. Very impressive flavor.
Big body with low carbonation. Nice gentle, smooth texture that makes for a good sipping drink.
The only improvement I would want is for the whiskey flavor to come out a little more. Otherwise a full flavored, expertly crafted barleywine. I never had this fresh, and I think I would not like it as much.

Pours clear deep red with a small off-white head fading quickly. A bit of lacing.
Aroma features sharp rye whiskey notes. Toffee, brown sugar, oak and a touch of vanilla round it out. Lots of booze on the nose.
Strong malty presence up front in the flavor. Toffee, brown sugar and vanilla are the strongest. The strong spicy rye kicks it up a notch and coats the back of the tongue with a bit of a stinging booze essence. Definitely boozy, but the rye is well integrated and doesn't overpower the base.
Big body and light carbonation although there is plenty there to support the flavors. Obviously at 14.4% alcohol is noted, but it's harsher in the nose than the flavor.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It's not quite on the top tier, but is decidedly above average even for the high standards of barrel aged barleywines. I'll definitely be seeking this one out to see how it is fresh when the next batch hits.

Thanks to Goldenjet for sharing.
Poured from the corked and caged bottle into a snifter.
A: Beautiful dark, dirty burgandy with no head at all. Nice lacing on glass.
S: Sweet and enticing - toffee, vanilla and some toast. Subtle alcohol fumage.
T: Lovely. Sweet molasses/caramel with toasted malt flavors and an underlayer of rye. Taste is not impacted by the alcohol at all.
M: Lack of carbonation allows it to coat your mouth like velvet, leaving behind exactly what it should.
O: Dangerously delicious. Entirely drinkable now and curious to see what it will become with age. Well done. Looking forward to other Steel Toe barrel aged releases.

a-looks mean, deep ruby red with small half finger egg shell white head. vanished pretty quick to nothing.
s- woa this one reminds me alot of arctic devil with a bit more booze. a little bit of dark fruits, pear and raisin covered in booze.
t- taste is huge! again it closely resembles arctic devil with alightly more booze. i foun this one o be extremely tasty! some of the people i drank it with thought it was super boozy, i didnt feel it as much as they dis (but i like a bit pf booze)
m- huge body, but not super sticky. I personally can't belIeve it's almost 15%! I thought it was drinking 10-11% I was impressed but I guess that's why a few others were overwhelmed.
O- very good brew, reminds me do much of 2011 arctic devil. Big and juicy. I can see this one tasting out of control with a bid of age on it, but fresh is just as good
Thanks for this generous addition lobo, you always send tasty brews my way!

My first time rating on this site.
I first tasted Jason's beer in Pacific City Oregon and was in town when I heard about this release. Jason made only great beer out there and Lunker is exceptional. I'm really glad I was able to get some.
A: Deep burgandy. At first the appearance was cloudy, but once the temp warmed to the recommended 55, it cleared up.
S: Full. Toffee, vanilla from the cask, grain.
T: Covers the tongue. Caramels, complementing bitterness, rye, toasted malt, slight stone fruits, sweet tannins in the finish. Excellent blending of lasting flavors. Alcohol was crisp, but remains part of the palate for such a big beer.
M: Perfectly carbonated. Any more it would have detracted from the blending, any less would have flattened out the aromatics. Coated the mouth well.
O: Great barrel aged beer. On par or better than the award winning BA from Pelican Pub. Stored bottles will be 5.0! I am so sorry I will miss his BA Imperial Dark release next month.

£324k culture boost for Cumbria from the Arts Council
10:00am Thursday 16th January 2014 in News By Allan Tunningley
THE Lake District could become one of the UK's top cultural tourist destinations following a £324,000 grant from the Arts Council.
Arts Council England has rubber-stamped the special 'Cultural Destinations' grant which will see some of Lakeland's biggest arts providers unite as part of an ambitious three-year project aimed at putting art and culture at the heart of the Cumbria's £2-billion-a-year tourist economy.
The funding bid was put together by Cumbria Tourism and Kendal's Brewery Arts Centre which are heading up a consortium of key organisations, including the Lakeland Arts Trust, Wordsworth Trust, Kendal Arts International and the National Trust.
They aim is to create a 'unique cultural brand identity and marketing approach' for the arts in the Lake District aimed at attracting visitors to the county specifically to experience the arts and promote arts to tourists visiting on holiday.
The project also includes the creation of a new annual programme of arts and performances entitled Spring Awakening which will be curated by a nationally recognised cultural figure.
Brewery chief executive Richard Foster said the decision to award the money showed that the Lake District was regarded as a nationally important home of arts and culture.
"This is a completely new way of promoting the Lake District which we are very excited about.
"Coming on the back of the UK Government's support for nominating the Lake District for World Heritage site status in 2016 this is brilliant news."
Cumbria Tourism's head of operations Richard Greenwood said: "We are delighted the bid has been approved and that there will be additional resources to market the high quality arts and cultural offer available across The Lake District and Cumbria."

- Main article: Ingredients (Skyrim)
Jazbay Grapes is an ingredient in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It can be used to make potions at an alchemy lab as part of Alchemy.
- "There was a time when it would be considered treason to pick one of these grapes without express permission from the Emperor himself. It is my understanding that although growers in Skyrim were successful in improving the fruit's survivability, it came at the cost of flavor. No longer is it quite the prize it once was. And yet, growing amidst the volcanic tundra of Eastmarch, it is still immensely useful for concocting potions. Mages value it highly as it can be combined with simple Garlic to enhance the regeneration of magicka. While no longer against the law, picking these grapes in large amounts is best kept to oneself."
- ―Agneta Falia, Herbalist's Guide to Skyrim
A clue to finding these Jazbay Grapes is that they are commonly found on rocky terrain, often near hot springs. They grow very close to the ground and are sometimes tricky to spot.
- Near The Atronach Stone, which has two Jazbay on the same landing, it is possible to find numerous Jazbay in the rocks around the Atronach Stone, normally on flat, level surfaces spread around the pools.
- A dragon may spawn near The Atronach Stone while one is gathering the grapes.
- On the road that winds south and east from Kynesgrove, there are around a dozen harvest points for Jazbay Grapes that grow next to the road (see image).
- South Skybound Watch - sparsely spread throughout.
- Skybound Watch Pass - a group of six plants just inside the doorway from South Skybound Watch, and 3 more a little further down the winding stairs.
- The Arch-Mage's Quarters in the College of Winterhold, check along the wall behind the center tree for around a half-dozen harvest points.
- Vlindrel Hall, Markarth in the entrance way. There are also three more sitting in a bowl next to the fireplace prior to entering the hall (after upgrades purchased).
- Eldergleam Sanctuary - Four are located just outside the entrance. Two are located inside the sanctuary itself and there are many around that area.
- Many can be found around the rocky hot springs between Bonestrewn Crest and Mistwatch.
- The hydrothermal fields south of Windhelm have several areas with Jazbay Grapes, Dragon's Tongue and Creep Cluster.
- Broken Fang Cave - On the table with the platters in the Master Vampires room.
- One can be found in the Goldenglow Estate, in Aringoth's room, on the bookshelf to the right of the Queen Bee Statue.
- From the doorway of the Riverside Shack (located a little southwest of Windhelm), facing out, there are two located to the north just across the river in a little clearing and another halfway up the hill to the road. Then at the top of that hill below Morvunskar there are seven on the road heading east towards Windhelm.
- The White Phial in Windhelm - There are several on the counter near the entrance.
- Occasionally looted from Falmer, mages, satchels, etc.
- Can sometimes be purchased from Herluin Lothaire in the Thieves Guild. (Must have completed enough "Special Jobs" for Delvin.)
- Inside the cellar of the chief's longhouse in the Orc Stronghold Dushnikh Yal with other ingredients.
- Arcadia of Arcadia's Cauldron and other merchants that sell ingredients will occasionally sell one.
- Cultist Adepts can occasionally drop one DB
- 20 of these are needed to complete a misc. quest for Avrusa Sarethi.
- This is one of the rarer alchemy ingredients, according to Avrusa.

Albany-- While soldiers are fighting the war overseas, their wives are here at home showing their support.
A group of 48th wives are planning a "Walk to Baghdad". The walk will serve as a fundraiser to send much needed items to the soldiers includiong phone cards and care packages. They're looking for volunteers and sponsors to participate in what they say is similar to Relay for Life.
"We're going to walk the 6,995 miles to Baghdad. This will be a brigade wide event. There's 38 units all over the state that will be doing this," says 48th wife Jennifer Rainwater.
"Those that don't know how to send the packages over or get some kind of contribution over there, this is a way for them to come in and join us," says 48th wife Lashonta Williams.
The walk will be held on September 10th at Tift Park. To find out how you can sponsor or volunteer, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call Jennifer Rainwater at 912-381-1224.

Maybe it's just me, but the recent NFP power rankings were released today and I am going to go out on a limb thinking that the Vikings are far too low. (If you haven't taken a look, you can see it here: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/NFP-preseason-power-rankings.html) Try not to let your jaw hit the floor like mine did...
I am a Vikings homer. I love all things purple and gold and will forever carry my sword and shield next to my Norseman, but this is ludicrous. Joe Fortenbaugh has the Vikings ranked 26th overall in the NFL and 4th in the NFC North, coming from a team that finished 6th in the NFC and 2nd in the NFC North just a year removed. He goes on to state that the Vikings have had inconsistent Quarterback play (obviously) and that AP cannot even come close to his 2012 campaign.
While I understand that Vikings have a question mark at QB and a few in the secondary, this roaster is vastly improved compared to a year ago. The only major losses in personal this team has seen have been the departures of Percy Harvin, Antoine Winfield and Chris Kluwe. I believe both Harvin and Kluwe were replaced by equal/better players in Greg Jennings and Jeff Locke, while I will admit at the moment Winfield is a better player than Xavier Rhodes.
That is also minimizing the effect another year under Coach Frazier's guidance will do along with Coach Musgrave's offense. In addition, the Vikings have added major players in Shariff Floyd, Cordarelle Patterson, Gerald Hodges, and Michael Mauti and Desmond Bishop to name a few. Finally, I am not going to get into the Ponder debate. It has been beaten like a dead horse and we can judge him tomorrow against the Texans for his 2 or 3 series he gets.
Maybe my Purple Glasses are just a bit too tight over here, but I find it hard to believe that the Vikings will finish behind both the Lions and Bears. I think we even have a shot at winning the North and I truly believe this is the strongest roaster we have had since the 2009 season.
A few other things to note about this list that do not include the Vikings: 1. The Packers are once again over-rated like usual. 2. The Cowboys, Colts, Redskins and Dolphins are ranked far higher than they proved last season. 3. We are behind the Rams, Titans, Eagles, Panthers and Chargers. What is that bull crap? 4. This is just a preseason ranking so no need to blow it out of proportion like I just did. 5. Under the radar is never a bad thing.

Prosecutors painted lottery millionaire Abraham Shakespeare as an extremely vulnerable man.
They say he was targeted by Dee Dee Moore, who stole his money and destroyed his relationships.
Thursday, Shakespeare's ex-girlfriend Santoria Butler testified the two had a child together and were a happy couple until Dee Dee Moore tore them apart.
"Dee Dee came along and told him this story that she's got a lawyer she is going to take you for everything you have," she said.
The extent of Shakespeare's vulnerabilities spilled out in the courtroom as Butler described how he could not read or write.
"His verbal skills were minimal compared to how he should speak. I asked him why, and he said he went to school up to a certain grade and stopped, and he went to work in the fields with his dad. So everything he learned he forgot. So if he tried to tell you about somebody deducting money that they owed him he wouldn't say deduct, he would say conduct," Butler said.
Butler also described how Abraham was haunted by his millions.
"People would follow us into Walmart at 3 in the morning , crying. He couldn't turn them down," she testified.
The jury also watched Walmart surveillance video of Dee Dee buying items like duct tape and plastic sheeting.
Prosecutors say she used the materials to dispose of Shakespeare's body.
The trial came to a halt when Moore argued with her attorneys over evidence. She wanted a specific video played to rebut testimony.
The judge had to step in.
"I'm not a mediator and I'm not an advisor I'm the judge," he said.
But Moore continued to dig in her heels and wouldn't budge.
"Ms. Moore, I'm going to tell you once again you need to compose yourself," the judge warned.
But her tears and emotions kept coming, flooding the courtroom. The judge stepped off the bench to give her time to talk to her attorneys, and the trial resumed shortly after that.
Dee Dee Moore wasn't the only one who got a stern warning: The judge scolded a juror about the rules after the juror approached a member of the media during the lunch break.
"If there are any issues that have to do with your attention, ability to hear or anything, I want you to raise those, but raise them with me," he said.

3.45/5 rDev +2.4%
On tap at The Beer Company in San Diego, CA.
Billed as Pariah Pale Ale at 6% ABV.
Pours a hazy light orange with a foamy tan head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Thin rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus zest, and herbal hop aromas. Taste is much the same with a citrus zest flavor on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that tastes better than it smells in my opinion.

On tap at The Beer Company. This is Pariah Pale Ale.
A: Dark gold with a fizzy white head. Nice color. Scattered lacing.
S: Bright and vibrant hop presence with orange, tangerine, grapefruit, and a touch of pine. Malt is faint, imparting a little biscuit.
T: Pronounced hop profile with notes of orange and grapefruit flesh, as well as pine. Lower moderate smooth bitterness. Malt is light and crackery with a dash of bread.
M: Lower medium body with upper moderate carbonation.
Overall: A well done hoppy pale ale. Highly drinkable. Recommended.

Advanced Corrosion Protection
* Riptide motors are impervious to the corrosive effects of saltwater, thanks to premium-grade marine alloys and aluminum upper arms. Metals undergo a rigid multi-step cleaning process before being anodized or coated with a special zinc dichromate armor plating. All components are then finished with a durable 5-mil TGIC polyester, powder-coated paint.
Fully Encapsulated Electronics
* Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. Also, all electrical connections are sealed with liquid-tight heat shrink tubing to form an impregnable barrier against saltwater.
Sacrificial Anode
* Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals come into electrical contact through saltwater. Riptide fights back with a sacrificial zinc anode, a composite shaft, and properly balanced materials that are close in electrical potential. The result is a motor that is completely protected from saltwater and its destructive forces.
Indestructible Composite Shaft
* Pound for pound, our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and will not break, kink, or corrode.
* This motor is backed up with Minn Kota's two-year warranty.

Wrestling with Leviathan - Overcoming Negative Emotions
There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
Leviathan is a spirit that wants to destroy ministries. It is a principality and comes against unity. It seeks to influence on a greater level than the individual level and will come against groups who are trying to walk in unity with each other. It works through individuals inside of groups seeking to divide and to destroy the group. In this way it is a principality because its objective is against the larger community. It works out of individual hearts and emotions; it works with the spirit of fear and conspires against everyone associated with a work of God.
Let me try to illustrate what I mean by sharing a vision that I had in the last number of weeks. In this vision I saw a monster outside of the house - I was actually in the basement of this house which usually represents the old nature; the hidden parts of ourselves. As I am walking down the hall I am fully aware that there is a monster outside of the house that wishes to consume me. Great fear enters my spirit as I seek a way of hiding from this miserable creature.
I come to understand that this created thing is not a creation of God but is actually a robot. I want you to think about what a robot is for moment. It is created by man to serve man. In some cases we create robots to protect us. It serves the need and purpose that it was created for. If it is is created for good then it will do good, but if it is created for bad purposes then it will do bad things.
I remember in the vision I went into a dark cellar but because the robot had powers that allowed it to see through walls it actually knew the exact spot that I was hiding. I could not hide from this robot. It crashed through the door beside my head sending terror into my being. I tried to get up and run away.
I entered a long hall with windows. This is when I saw the robot for the first time. Its fist alone was half the size of my body. It stood at least 14 feet high. It moved swiftly and effortlessly and I knew that it would have no problem destroying me if its sights were set on me.
I got down on the floor within this room and then the robot crashed its fist through the window trying to grab me. Just as it was about to reach me – it didn't, but instead grabbed a person standing next to me and tore them to shreds. I actually saw it pull the person next to me completely a part. The person was destroyed.
Well as you can imagine this scene was a difficult one to witness. I woke up pretty disturbed but kind of relieved that the monster tore someone else apart instead of myself. I was relieved that it did not destroy me, that is, until I had a conversation with one of my mentors.
I told him the dream and he said, "Darren the robot is your emotions. Your emotions cannot consume you because your programming will not allow them to do so. They serve to protect you from something. This robot will consume others who stand near you but will not touch you because it was created by you to protect you." Oh my, can you imagine my horror and chagrine at the realisation of this truth. This was one of the more painful dream interpretations I have ever had to consider because I could sense the accuracy of it.
Many times I have had similar dreams about giant snakes. I have seen these snakes or crocodiles go on a rampage all around me but not come near me. I have seen them destroy people, picking them up and swallowing them whole. I have seen these snakes come slithering toward me but at the last minute choose to destroy someone else. Every time I saw this and would wake I was disturbed but relieved because at least I wasn't destroyed.
But now I have remorse in my heart because I realize that my emotions were in agreement with the spirit of Leviathan. I didn't have healing inside of my spirit when this fear would come upon me so I would react volcanically in rage destroying with my words those that were in ministry with me. As you can imagine this is not an easy thing for me to admit, but unless I expose this spirit in my life I cannot even begin to be free from it.
What is the Spirit of Leviathan? Todd Bentley describes Leviathan from Proverbs 6:16-19 quoted above. When you read through that list of the seven descriptions you will see how Leviathan stirs up contention within communities through lies, conflicts and the shedding of blood. This is the giant beast that eats and destroys persons within community. It is the spirit of anti-Christ in that it does the exact opposite of what Christ would do.
Self-preservation is a natural instinct for the old man. None who operate from Leviathan wishes to die. We will do almost anything to stay alive including allowing others to die in our place, but freedom only comes when I lay down my right to live. John 15:13 says, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
Jesus' example on the cross is the only way we will overcome Leviathan. We must be willing to lay down our right to be right, our right to have a good reputation, our right to be free from accusation and even our right to our own lives. We must be willing not to retaliate when all kinds of things have been spoken in evil against us. This is not something that we can do on our own strength, but comes from the heart of God. And when we have learned this lesson and walk in it, then God becomes our defender and protector, so that even when we walk in a place of danger we can remain in perfect peace.
God wishes to heal your human emotions so that the spirit of Leviathan does not have access to work through you any longer. He wishes to heal you so that this self-made robot will not destroy you or those that you are in fellowship with any longer. This death that we must die is to our self and if we will turn to the cross even now, then God will destroy this spirit's influence on our lives and we will walk in our true unity with our brother's and see God's Kingdom established in the earth. Let's stop wrestling with Leviathan and allow God to heal us now.

God has really been teaching Rhob and I to do this,to retaliate back in the opposite spirit. A spirit of love, His love! Staying in His spirit and blessing those that curse you and do you wrong! Thanks for sharing bro, that was awesome!!!

Thank You so much for the truth and to bind the enemy Thank You for power and deliveranceReplyDelete
Darren, Jesus prayed for His disciples, that they would be ONE as He and the Father were ONE and be bought to Complete Unity. This will not be accomplished because we agree with each other necessarily but that we agree with Christ. I find that there is confusion on this point. When we are ONE with Christ then we will be ONE with each other and conflict will cease. The Bride of Christ in our generation will be ONE with Christ and therefore ONE with each other to the glory of God! Then the world will know that Christ Jesus was sent by God the Father. Hallelujah!ReplyDelete
