CEA Saclay DSM/IRFU/Service d'Astrophysique, bât. 709 L'Orme des Merisiers, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France. E-mail: email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com ABSTRACT SIMBOL–X is a hard X–ray mission, operating in the 0.5–70 keV range [1], which is proposed by a consortium of European laboratories for a launch around 2013. Relying on two spacecrafts in a formation flying configuration, SIMBOL–X will allow to elucidate fundamental questions in high energy astrophysics, such as the physics of accretion onto Black Holes, of acceleration in quasar jets and in supernovae remnants, or the nature of the hard X–ray diffuse emission. The instrument combines three type of detectors: a silicon low energy detector on top of a cadmium telluride high energy detector and a scintillator which surrounds them except for the solid angle corresponding to the focused beam from the mirror. Instrument performance is expressed in particularly in term of dead time, which defines in turn the time tagging resolution and relative accuracy of the events from the three detectors. Therefore the SIMBOL-X instrument requires an accuracy of 100 ns. In the presentation we will focus on the SpaceWire [2] standard Time-Code [3] use limitation and provide a way to improve it with a minor upgrade of the standard to reach the expected performances. 1 INTRODUCTION The SIMBOL-X instrument is an X-ray imager relying on two focal planes to fulfil the energy range requirement: the 0.5 keV to 12 keV sub-range is covered by the silicon detector while the 8 keV to 70 keV sub-range is covered by a 2 mm thick cadmium telluride detector. Each focal plane is a 128 by 128 pixel matrix. A possible cause of performance limitation of such type of instrument is due to cosmic background noise, which decrease its overall efficiency. A basic way to reduce this background is to surround the detector, except in front, with a multilayer shield made of materials having various atomic masses. Depending on its atomic mass and thickness each material traps incoming particles in complementary energy sub-ranges. However the efficiency of this shield is not 100%. Better results may be even Figure 1 – Instrument layout Figure 2 – Active anticoincidence obtained by adding an active shield to this passive shield. This active shield is made of a scintillator material (CsI, crystal, …) which generates photons when crossed by noise particles. These photons are then detected by means of either photo-multiplier tubes or photo-diodes. Almost immediately after this first interaction the particle hits the focal plane detector and in turn generates an event. The resulting instrument optical layout is illustrated in figure 1. Therefore rejection of background events is simply achieved by eliminating time- correlated events between the active shield detector and the focal plane detector. The so-called anticoincidence mechanism is illustrated in figure 2 in the case of two focal plane detectors as in SIMBOL-X. The major contribution is the reduction of the telemetry volume: when observing faint sources the X-ray photon rate could be as low as a few counts per second while the background-generated events reaches a rate of several hundreds. In order to take into account various uncertainties (electronic noise, propagation delay jitter, …) an anticoincidence window is defined: all events occurring within this window shall be rejected. However the width of this window shall be carefully chosen since it determines the efficiency in term of unavailability of the instrument also called the dead time. The Figure 3 shows the impact on the dead time for window width varying between 10 ns and 100 µs for 10000 events per second. The required 1% of dead time for the Figure 3 – Dead time vs Window width SIMBOL-X instrument limits the window width to 1 µs. As shown in figure 4 the instrument comprises 3 detection sub-systems: high energy, low energy and active shielding. In turn each sub-system comprises the detector located in the instrument focal plane and the associated control electronics. A last sub-system (the Data Processing Assembly) is in charge of the whole instrument control and the processing of both scientific and engineering data. In order to optimise interface definition the SpaceWire standard was Figure 4 – Instrument Overview adopted to handle this bidirectional data flow. Detection sub-systems act has destination nodes while DPA acts as transmission node. Among the exchanged data the events defined by an amplitude, a position and a time tag are received by the DPA. Then the DPA shall check time correlation between events to reject unwanted ones by comparing the time tags of the incoming events within the coincidence window. The time tag accuracy is assumed to be one 10th of the window width. Therefore the SIMBOL-X performance requirement implies a relative time tag accuracy of 100 ns between detection sub-systems. The following table summarizes the various data flows exchanged with the DPA. As shown maximum peak data is limited to 20 Mbps: it determines the SpaceWire operating signalling rate. Each data flow is using a dedicated virtual channel identified by mean of specific protocol id and packet type ids. 2 SPACEWIRE STANDARD & EXTENSION The SpaceWire standard specifies the TIME-CODE character to propagate the time across the network [4]. Currently TIME-CODE transmission request occurs asynchronously with respect Figure 5 - Best and Worst TIME-CODE transmission delay to the transmitted character stream. Therefore the delay between the TIME-CODE request and the effective character transmission is equal to the time left for the transmission of the current character. The delay difference between the best and the worst cases is then 13 transmission clock periods: best is when an ESC transmission is about to end, worst is when a Data Character has just started. Best and worst case timings are represented in Figure 5. The best achievable time synchronization accuracy through SpaceWire links will be then 1.3 µs for a 20 Mbps transmission rate or 100 ns for a 260 Mbps transmission rate. The increase of the interface frequency well above the need for instrument data transmission - 20 Mbps- is not acceptable since it adds constraints to the design and to the power budget. Alternative solution could be to add a dedicated interface devoted to synchronization, but again with an impact on system budget. Finally the decision was taken to work around the existing TIME-CODE to increase its accuracy and especially by taking into account the highest priority of this TIME- CODE defined by the standard. First of all the idea is to measure the delay between TIME-CODE request and its effective transmission and then to find a way to send this delay to the destination node in order to compensate this delay. Thanks to priority scheme the only solution is to send a second TIME-CODE immediately after the first one, which carries the measured delay. It allows creating a constant delay between the TIME-CODE transmission request in the transmission node and a synchronisation signal in the destination nodes. 3 IMPLEMENTATION The block diagram of the SpaceWire and the proposed extension is given in Figure 6. Added functions are the "Time_TX" and "Time_RX" functions. No modification of the SpaceWire standard core is required except the Ack_Time signal, which is added to the "Tx" function and used by the new "Time_TX" function. To be noticed: to enable the implement of this extension, access to TIME-CODE recovery clock and acknowledgement signal is needed. The extension implementation is low Figure 6 – SpaceWire with extension resource consuming: it requires only 62 of 4024 (1.5%) combinational cells and 42 of 2012 (2%) sequential cells of an RTSX-SU72 ACTEL FPGA. Figure 4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS To validate the performance of the extension a prototype of the SpaceWire network was realized: a home made PCI acquisition board implementing four SpaceWire interfaces simulates the DPA while two detector acquisition boards simulate the HED and ACD electronics respectively. The block diagram of this test configuration is Figure 7 – Block diagram of the tested configuration depicted in Figure 7. First timing measurement on this prototype is shown in Figure 8. The upper trace is the TICK_IN signal of the transmitter and the two next traces (Red and Green) are TICK_OUT signals of the two destination nodes. The rising edge of the TICK_OUT signal is not re-synchronized and then a large jitter of almost 160 ns is measured. This jitter corresponds to what could be obtained with a standard SpaceWire. The falling edge of the same signal is re- synchronized with the extension. The resulting jitter is as low as about 4 ns and is due to cables length and propagation delay mismatches. Practically in the SIMBOL-X instrument the TICK_IN TICK_OUT interface will be used to propagate a 1 Hz synchronisation signal generated by the DPA and synchronous Figure 8 – Timing Diagram to the satellite on-board time, which will Figure 13 – TICK_IN be TICK_OUT reset time tag counters in each detector electronic. These counters willvs incremented by mean of the SpaceWire recovery clockTiming to avoid any time drift between in order detectors. 5 CONCLUSION With the proposed extension a single interface standard fulfil all the needs in terms of data transmission: both scientific, engineering and command and time synchronisation for the SIMBOL-X instrument. It optimizes overall instrument architecture, simplifies integration tasks and test equipment design. The extension fits perfectly within limited available hardware especially in the detector electronics were only small FPGA are foressen. Further improvements such as calibration and compensation of propagation delay mismatch could be done. 6 REFERENCES [1] Ph Ferrando and al. "SIMBOL-X: mission overview", proc.

Unfortunately, keyboard/mouse is not really a valid control scheme for playing Dark Souls. If you want to truly enjoy the game, you'll need a controller.
If you mess around with the DSFix.ini you extract to Dark Souls' DATA folder, you'll be able to optimize the graphics to your heart's content.

Also, for the record, you also have to fight Great Grey Wolf Sif, in the locked door in the Darkroot Garden which you need the Crest of Artorias (purchased from Andrei the Blacksmith for 20000 souls) to open. I recommend doing the Artorias of the Abyss DLC before that, as it changes some of the cutscenes occurring during that section of the game.
#158 to #136 - slandersalamander (01/14/2013) [-]
RageRambo didn't give you the full deal. After getting killed by him the first time, you'll be captured and sent to the prison section. Fight your way through there, and back through the first section of the Archives to get back to the first bonfire you find, just after where the two armored tusks were. After that, you'll need to go back through the Archives again to find the second bonfire, and eventually leave via a hidden staircase, opened with a lever, and find the Crystal Cave, which includes fun stuff like invisible bridges, and mob-level Moonlight Butterflies who hit as hard as the boss version, but only grant 400 souls on death and never land. Eventually, you'll find Seath. He's not terribly difficult, provided you break the glowing crystal. Be careful of his breath, as it will curse you if you're careless. Ideally, you're going to want to be dealing lightning damage to him, as all dragons have 0% lightning resistance, but it's not necessary to kill him; it just facilitates the process.
#178 to #174 - slandersalamander (01/14/2013) [-]
For the record, you'll lose all the souls you have going into that fight unless you wear a Ring of Sacrifice. Contrary to what RageRambo said, he doesn't curse you the first time you fight him, so you won't need to waste a Rare Ring of Sacrifice. However, I'd recommend bringing at least 4 humanities in the form of items to kindle the bonfire within the prison tower, as you'll be fighting 3 or 4 channelers, and crystal hollows, who hit very hard. Having 20 estus flasks will be a great help to you. You should also be sure to bring as many purging stones as you can for the second fight against Seath. You should be able to avoid being cursed, but it never hurts to have them just in case.

FIRST GET A RING OF SACRIFICE OR BETTER YET A RARE RING OF SACRIFICE. Go to Anor Londo. Instead of taking the elevator go straight. Run past the sentinals and follow the path. Kill the 2 armoured boars and light the bonfire. You'll fight some crystal hollows who can hit quite hard. Fight through there and take the elevator and follow the hall. Equip the ring and go through the fog gate. You can't hurt him at this phase so just let him kill you and you'll respawn at a new bonfire. Get through there and you can fight him. Just watch out for getting cursed.
#154 to #149 - RageRambo (01/14/2013) [-]
THank you as well. He breathes curse crystals so be careful. And when you fight him the second time you have to run behind him and break this staff thing that is shown in the cutscene when he flies down. Otherwise he's invincible.

I am anger, under pressureBob Fosse said that most songs fall into two categories: the "I Want" Song and the "I Am" Song. The "I Am" Song is, simply put, a song which establishes a character's personality, role in the plot, and/or motivations right away. It can be more effective than setting up a character by dialogue, and it's almost always more fun. Despite the name, the song doesn't have to be sung by the characters themselves. The Villain Sucks Song is an example of an "I Am" Song sung by other people about a villain they despise. May also be an I Am What I Am, but not always. Note: Contrast the "I Want" Song. Although the two are not mutually exclusive, the "I Am" Song should be primarily about who the character is, rather than what they want (there's a clue in the name). Try to avoid citing an "I Want" Song as an "I Am" Song. Compare Villain Song, which are almost always of this type (when they aren't I Want Songs). See also Leitmotif for an instrumental version. Image Song is when it doesn't appear in the actual show, but rather in All There in the Manual extras. See "I Am Becoming" Song for when a character explains his or her new motivations or self.

This is my first post and this is by is the most informative Home Theater forum I have found so far. Here is some background on my upcoming project. I have had home theaters in the past but many years ago and now I am looking again but there is way more technology that I have to catch up on. I have 2 questions: My wife really likes the simple Bose 3-2-1 System but looking at the $900 price tag and the quality it made me start wondering is it the best bang for the price or is assembling my own components a better option. The second question is what suggestions you guys have for equipment (I need only a reciever and speaker set). I would really like to stay under 2k total as well as the room this is going into is very awkwardly laid out so rear speakers are going to be a real challange as I cannot have wires hanging all over but I do have experince running wires (car audio background) so I could get creative if needed. I have include 2 pics of my room layout so you get the idea of my issues.They are looking from one end to the other and vice versa.
Here is what I have now:
47" LG1080p LCD TV
Motorola HD Cable box > TV via Component Cable (video) and RCA (audio)
Sony PS3 > TV via HDMI
Here is what I am thinking:
47" LG1080p LCD TV
Motorola HD Cable box > Receiver via Component Cable (video) and RCA (audio) > Receiver to TV via HDMI (Do I need an audio to TV as well or just the HDMI)
Sony PS3 > Reciever via HDMI
Receiver to power a sub and a set of speakers but I am wondering if wireless rears (for easy install would be better or could I get away with putting wired speakers on end tables? Probably not the most ideal placement but am needing suggestions. I also wouldn't be opposed to moving some furniture around for the best sound but the TV is on the wall and cannot move. I just started looking at receivers and was looking at the Denon 788 and I have no clue where to start with speakers yet but my local box stores seem to not be very helpful. I looked at the Klipsch site and they have so many different models so any input would be appriciated.
Here are the 2 pics of my living room (dimensions are 21'L x 12'4" W, don't mind the dog ):
Thanks for the help!!

You know what is great about the DP?Submitted by The Pen on Sat, 04/13/2013 - 23:24
No matter what we all post, it does get clicked-on, viewed and read and whether or not someone upvotes, downvotes or comments or provides helpful links, know that your messages are important and beautiful and liberating in their own ways...honesty can be sensed in every post here, it's just that everyone's definition and expectation of honesty is different.
We are all honest by our very willingness to post and share and open our lives, hearts and views up to strangers, but friends by the notion that we care enough about the woes and corruptions of the world that we have awakened from our slumbers...we are born anew.
I like to think my posts have been read by Ron Paul or Rand Paul or other Liberty oriented minds...and you know what, some of them probably have been.

No maybe about it
I like to think my posts have been read by Ron Paul or Rand Paul or other Liberty oriented minds...and you know what, some of them probably have been.
Don't think it is so. Know it is so.
For this reason I maintain my own strict policy of never posting language that I would not use in Carols presence, because she reads DP too - a daily reader. I'm not trying to get my mouth washed out with a bar of soap. lol.
So let the notion that Ron and the like are out there reading your writings motivate you to continue posting, and inspire you to be considerate in the manner of language directed toward your fellow man. Things get hot sometimes, but that is not an excuse to be a "Mr. Potty Mouth".

Communist goals of 1963
Congressional Record–Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963 Current Communist Goals EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10, 1963. Some of the 45 communist goals of 1963: Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch." Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state." Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man." Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.: http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm

Ex-Satanist Details Illuminati Spiritual Plan
Mastral used to be a high ranking Satanist, bred specifically to lead the group in Brazil, but instead he turned to Christ and became an evangelical.
In Mastrals book Rastros do Oculto, he states that occultism, magick and Satanism seek the opening of portals and communication with evil fallen angels, or demons.
The accumulated esoteric knowledge of the ages was passed down by demons in the form of rituals, in order to open these portals and alienate people from God, assuring their damnation. Misery likes company.
The author tells us that in Ancient Egypt, Satan promised an alliance to a few. These people, who became the Mystery School members, are known as the Brotherhood of the "Children of the Fire".
According to Mastral, there are two kinds of portals: portals to the body and portals to Earth.
Portals to the body allow demons to interact and control humans.
The most basic ritual is channeling, where a medium lets a spirit talk through his mouth, dispensing counseling and commands.
Blood sacrifices, symbols, music, drugs and special meditation permit a higher level of demonic attachment and consequently, more spiritual powers to the follower.
These powers are the classic occult tricks of divination, telepathy (in fact messages delivered by demons), creation of fire, telekinesis, etc. These are not enhancements on the individual, but merely deeds done by spirits to look like the person has "evolved".
Much of the doctrine of chakras and the awakening of the kundalini spirit (total demonization) is in truth opening of bodily portals to demons.
More advanced followers can leave their bodies and perform astral projection, where they move around in their spirits, while their bodies are resting.
In this condition, they can also visit and interact with demonic spirits.
The whole hierarchy in Satanism depends on power and the level of the demon who is "residing" with the person, his protector.
Usually people with long family ties with the occult have the most powerful demons by their sides. Strong demons can indeed inflict disease and create accidents, and fights among satanists are common.
Fortunately, they can't harm true Christians, who are protected by the Holy Spirit and angels from God.
Portals to Earth are more complicated. According to Mastral, reality is comprised of nine dimensions which overlap in space but are separated in practice.
Alchemy_3.jpgHe gives us the metaphor of an elevator. Spirits from more elevated dimensions can go down to lower floors, but no one can go up.
We live in the fourth dimension. Below us there are several powerful demons who have been imprisoned by God as judgement. Lucifer is the only evil spirit to visit the ninth and highest plane.
Some portals are temporary and some, the most important ones, are permanent. Temporary portals depend on exact timing and special alignment of the dimensions, and this knowledge is beyond our science or perception.
That's why occultists obsess with numerology, gematria and astrology; for these are the tools that allow the calculations to be performed in order to profit from the portals to contact high level spirits.
Evil spirits cannot manifest in the middle of Fifth Avenue. They need the strong energy created in blood rituals in order to materialize. But once the ritual ends, they must go. More stable contact can only be achieved through portals.
Permanent portals are the main objective of Satanists (they like to be called children of Lucifér, with stress in the last syllable).
According to Mastral, there are 90 of them, and 72 have been opened by the turn of the century. Nine more have been opened by 2006 and the last the last nine will be in 2013. The exact conditions for the openings of these portals are known only to few witches of the highest rank.
We can expect that they require huge amounts of human sacrifice and psychic energy. A great honor given to a Satanists is to be able to pass through one of these portals and meet demonic powers in their "home turf". In this process, there is a temporal shift, with minutes on Earth meaning hours in the other plane (much like what happens in "alien" abductions).
The opening of these portals is the reason we have seen since the 1950s so many spiritual manifestations such as UFOs, light orbs and apparitions, sometimes in plain daylight.
Satan's hope is that with the opening of the last portals, powerful demons from lower dimensions will be able to come to earth and eventually, interact with humankind. They will not present themselves as demons, but as benevolent aliens and evolved spirits of light.
Mastral tell us that some human individuals are indeed empowered by changes in their DNA. This can happen in three ways: demonic sexual spirits (incubus and succubus) can transport semen among humans; a demon possessed man can fertilize a woman, or, very rarely, a couple can pass through a portal and have sex in the other side.
In all cases, the higher energy affects the embryo's DNA in a way that makes it easier for the individual to interact with spirits and be a channel for more powerful psychic powers.
Normal people can't stand perfect possession from high level demons, the body would die, and that's why channelers are always exhausted after a "session".
The Satanists' goal is to eventually perfect a human who can stand a complete possession from a very high demon and exhibit powers never seen on Earth. This person may even exist today, and he will be the antichrist.

How to be born again
To actually be born again you need Jesus Christ. That's what those words mean, and where they come from.
John 3:
3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
Yipeeee more proselytizing!!!! Please ask your guy for an ......
immediate rapture. That would be great. Prove all of your detractors wrong and leave others be. I would love to be wrong on this one (All roads lead to Rome, religion etc)
Aaron Russo, Nikola Tesla, Ron Paul, I'm jus' sayin'
It's the correct response to
It's the correct response to a post that claims you are 'born again' by becoming part of this board.
That is ridiculous. It furthermore cheats everyone reading it who doesn't understand out of a knowing about real eternal life.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
I said "born anew"
not "born again"...big difference!

Using poetical references that thinly slice off the New Testament can be a dangerous business. At least I think I see similar things happen all the time, where people try to adopt wordly arguments for Christian things - even new agers. And it works - for a little while, but there isn't any spirit there, so it dies out. I always think of the "and it's leaves will be for the healing of the world", and the leaves are the Bible (tree of life in the New Testament).
**It wasn't a personal criticism**. I thought mentioning the real birth was needed as it is the only thing that gives eternal life.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
Excuse me...
"and it works - for a little while, but there isn't any spirit there, so it dies out"...as an anti-theist but very spiritual person I disavow that comment...don't presume to know where spirit dwells and don't pretend that you are privy to information that has somehow fallen deaf on millions of people...I am careful with my words and they are not to deceive..."born anew" is spiritual in reference. I avoided "born again" because it specifically deals with a belief that has no place in my post.

The Holy Spirit dwells in
The Holy Spirit dwells in born again believers.
It is exactly why I objected to your original post, and here I am objecting to your idea again. So, you see, I was exactly right about the spirit of it.
This is from God, and not from me:
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
God has hid these things from wise & prudent,& revealed to babes
Matthew 11:25-30
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
raised in Christian homes,
but vicarious redemption creates laziness, unaccountability, expectation and intolerance, in oneself, of oneself and for others...we all create the Bible we understand...
Father - Husband - Son - Spirit - Consciousness
Actually, I wasn't raised in
Actually, I wasn't raised in a Christian home. My father wasn't, and didn't become a Christian until after I did. My father's family isn't good people. My grandmother and aunt on my mom's side were Christians.
One of the reason I post Bible verses in full context. I don't expect everyone has read them. I didn't know them until after I was saved, having gotten the basic gospel message first.
Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
And that's the more important reason.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
how does being "saved" feel...?
He was never made manifest to me, and I tried...was baptized at 14 and remember feeling nothing that could be called reborn, actually rather embarassed and confused.
"Saved" for me is the unknown.
Father - Husband - Son - Spirit - Consciousness
Hey Klinker,
Your question actually sounded like a serious one, so I'm going to try to give you a serious response.
How does it feel, it feels like gratitude. I know that I would have never found God on my own, He came seeking after me, He placed the understanding of my sinful condition in my heart as well as the desire to seek His remedy, upon seeking that remedy He placed in my heart the faith to believe in His remedy. Every good thing is a gift from God, we must merely choose to receive it. I felt thankful, and still do.
Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says...'"
Revelation 3:19-22
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
πολλα γαρ πταιομεν απαντες ει τις εν λογω ου πταιει ουτος τελειος ανηρ δυνατος χαλιναγωγησαι και ολον το σωμα
Tao-- your response is very eloquent!
I am going to print off the paragraph you wrote about gratitude and His remedy, actually your whole response, for future use. Thank you for posting!
Glory to God
and thank you for the encouragement. :O)
πολλα γαρ πταιομεν απαντες ει τις εν λογω ου πταιει ουτος τελειος ανηρ δυνατος χαλιναγωγησαι και ολον το σωμα
Being saved means believing
Being saved means believing on Jesus Christ, faith.
Some people leave out the on and make it a belief or belief in, which is not the same thing. Believing on is like trust, it's in the heart, and we know that God loves us.
Two verses that speak very heavily when we start believing on Jesus Christ, and knowing God loves us:
Romans 5:6
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
God gives the faith too
Ephesians 2:
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
I didn't ask what it meant...I know that already,
how does it "feel"....to you!...without scripture...your own words.
Father - Husband - Son - Spirit - Consciousness

Offers pour in to help Cleveland women freed from captivity
Three members of the Cleveland City Council have set up a fund to provide financial assistance to Amanda Berry, 27, Gina DeJesus, 23, and Michelle Knight, 32.
"It's a big healing process that is beginning," Councilwoman Dona Brady said Saturday.
Since it was established earlier this week, the fund has raised more than $50,000, said Cleveland Councilman Brian Cummins, who helped arrange the Cleveland Courage Fund, which is administered by a nonprofit organization.
Ariel Castro, a 52-year-old former school bus driver, has been arrested and charged with kidnapping and raping the three women while keeping them locked up in a rundown Cleveland home.
DNA tests released on Friday identified Castro as the father of Berry's 6-year-old daughter, who was born in captivity.
The Cuyahoga County prosecutor also plans to seek murder charges, which could carry the death penalty, against Castro because police say there is evidence Knight suffered forced miscarriages.
Berry and DeJesus, along with Berry's daughter, left the hospital earlier this week and have been reunited with their families. Knight, who is estranged from some of her family members, according to her grandmother, was discharged from the hospital Friday and went into seclusion.
Knight was kidnapped in 2002 at the age of 20; Berry in 2003 the day before her 17th birthday; and DeJesus in 2004, when she was 14. During their captivity, police said, the women endured beatings, rapes and at times confinement in ropes and chains.
Berry told police that her escape on Monday had been her first chance to break free in the 10 years she was held, seizing an opportunity during Castro's momentary absence. With the help of neighbors, she and her daughter broke free, and police freed the other two women.
A flood of emails
Cummins said the fund for the three women had received donations from people across the United States, as well as Canada, France and Australia.
The money will not go directly to the victims, but be distributed to organizations to help the women pay for therapy, doctor's visits, housing and other expenses, Cummins said.
City officials said they were working to respond to a flood of emails with offers of assistance from companies, businesses and individuals.
Business owners have offered free health care, beauty and spa services and furniture, said Johanna Hamm, a City Council administrative official.
One offer was an all-expenses-paid stay at a lakeside vacation home, she said.
A Cleveland pizzeria said it planned to donate all the money from its sales on Thursday to the Cleveland Courage Fund. Workers at Angelo's Pizza also said they intended to give their hourly wages that day.
In a message posted on the fund's Facebook page, one woman said she hoped the women would one day recover from their horrific ordeal.
"If everyone donated just one dollar, it would make a difference in these girls' lives," said June Barter Green. "Maybe someday they can live a normal life."

Last week, Grayson County supervisors put a temporary stop to the controversial zoning repeal that has split the county into two sides over the past month.
The supervisors, the newspaper and social media have heard arguments from all sides during this divisive debate.
Some believe that zoning restricts their personal freedom to do what they want with their property. Others like zoning for that exact reason, because they don't want to wind up with a brewery or a Hooters erected next to their church or family farm.
I was born with hydrocephalus (water on the brain) and have lived with a shunt my entire life. I have developed generalized anxiety disorder, a trace of Crohn's Disease and depression.
I am unable to work with such obstacles. I applied for disability benefits twice. I was turned down twice and am appealing the second rejection.
Carroll County Public Service Authority board member David Hutchins was recently quoted in a news report:
"When we look at our systems, we look at Fancy Gap water, and while it is funded that way, Rural Development looks at it as Carroll County has a water system.
These "zoning talking points" were submitted to The Gazette by Concerned Citizens for Grayson County and signed by the Rev. Laura M. George, J.D., and members of the group. The Grayson Board of Supervisors is considering a repeal of the county's zoning ordinance.
Zoning and Taxes
Zoning reduces taxes by locating industrial businesses in specific areas and building infrastructure just once (such as commercial roads, power, water, waste disposal).
The 2013-14 procedures, approved by the Grayson Board of Supervisors, require a minimum of one week's notice and public meetings before a motion can be entertained by the board. Since approved board procedures were not followed in allowing Mr. Rosenbaum to make a last minute motion concerning zoning at his first meeting as a supervisor in December 2013, the motion to repeal zoning should have been denied at the December meeting.
This gross mistake in procedure needs to be addressed immediately!
The Grayson County supervisors meeting Jan. 9 was a very good get-together of the millionaires versus the poor people.
The three supervisors that were in control before have gone to the happy hunting ground.
The person that referred to them as the three stooges probably needs to look longer in the mirror.
The first several people that spoke had made their fortune somewhere else, then moved here to get out of the rat race, traffic, crime. Now want to live here in peace and harmony and don't want us to have anything.
At the Woodlawn High School meeting Jan. 23, my wife spoke regarding closing the school.
After hearing other comments, we are in agreement that the special ed children are in need of having a place to play basketball, etc.
However, as stated by my wife, when we attended a meeting with former School Superintendent [Greg] Smith and others at the school, it was stressed that the school was in dire need of repairs.
Apparently, that information has changed considerably. It now appears that we were sadly misinformed.

Former dropout sets example for family by returning to school
Midwestern State University student Stephanie Zamora can point to herself as an example that the "Million Dollar Conversation" really works.
Even the calculator proves her right.
The expensive-sounding conversation is actually a catchy advertising hook by the Region 9 P-16 Council to grab students' and their parents' attention and create a college-going culture.
It's aimed particularly at Hispanic families whose children often drop out of school and give short shrift to any thought of college.
No — stay in school and go to college, says the marketing campaign, and expect to earn $1 million more over your lifetime than someone who doesn't.
Educators urge parents to sit down with their children at the kitchen table and have the "Million Dollar Conversation," explaining the pocket-book difference that can result from a single decision to stay in school and tackle college.
The Million Dollar Conversation is packaged as a wake-up call.
And now, Zamora — who has been preaching it to others — can prove it's true.
Zamora was a ninth-grade dropout and a single mother with four children who returned to school nearly four years ago, but only to get her GED.
Two professors at Vernon College urged her to think beyond the GED. One even talked about how when she returned, she would help Zamora with her financial aid paperwork.
"I thought, 'What's financial aid?' " Zamora recalls.
But with their encouragement, Zamora earned her associate's degree from Vernon College in May 2009.
Then she transferred to MSU and is on track to complete her bachelor's degree in education in August — just 3½ years after heading back to college.
Zamora was born in Wichita Falls and raised here. Her parents are also from Texas, and her first language is English.
"We weren't rich, but we weren't poor," she said. "We don't fit that perception (of Hispanics) that people tend to carry."
She was a straight-A student in grade school and into junior high. But even though she lived in a town with its own university, she never thought about attending. "I never passed by MSU and thought, 'One day I'll go there.' "
Watching her parents traipse off to jobs each day, she assumed she would eventually just work and have a family of her own. "We don't think we can afford (college). A lot of us are first-generation. No one has gone before us to set the example. It's just embedded in you that you're going to get a job and help pay the bills."
In the local WFISD, out of 1,000 teachers, only 53 are Hispanic, Zamora said. It was difficult for her to find local Hispanic leaders with whom she could identify.
By the time Zamora was in ninth grade at Hirschi High School, she was pregnant.
She began skipping school, then married at age 15 and dropped out of school — against her parents' wishes.
The seriousness of what she'd done sunk in as she realized she'd have no prom and no graduation.
Her marriage lasted 13 years. Then, five years ago, she started waiting tables to earn extra money. She lived paycheck to paycheck. "I thought, 'There has to be so much more than this. There must be some better life than struggling.' I knew there was more," Zamora said. "I knew there was something better, and I didn't want my kids to see me struggling forever."
She was tired of saying, "No, we can't do that" to braces and "No, we can't do that" to vacations.
Then it occurred to her that it would be impossible to tell her kids to go to school if she wasn't willing to do it herself.
So back she went after 17 years at home. She started at Vernon College and earned her associate's degree in May 2009. She transferred to MSU and fast-tracked her education degree to complete it by August 2010.
As a BEGIN scholar, she received a special state grant for future educators who plan to teach in an area of special need, such as her specialty of bilingual education.
She recently completed her student teaching at Alamo Elementary and was so highly recommended for a teaching job by her principal and vice principal that before she completed her degree, WFISD's Director of Personnel Debbie Osborn called her and talked to her about a job.
"I think you have a wrong number," Zamora told her. "I haven't finished my classes yet."
She hadn't completed Summer Session 1, hadn't started Summer Session 2, hadn't filled out an application to apply for a WFISD teaching position and hadn't prepared her résumé.
But Osborn reminded her that they'd met at a career fair through her work with the P-16 Council and that she came highly recommended. She urged her to set up an early interview.
Zamora was subsequently hired as a pre-K bilingual teacher for Brook Village — months before her graduation.
That's when Zamora did the math.
She'd made $18,000 to $20,000 a year waiting tables. With the first-year salary of a WFISD teacher plus the $2,500 annual stipend for her bilingual certification, she would start out earning about $40,000.
That was a $20,000 difference in salaries, thanks to her college degree.
Multiply that by 50 years, and immediately she saw the $1 million earning potential difference that was possible during her own career.
And she was getting, admittedly, a late start.
"I stayed at home without a degree for 17 years. I think about that and divide that out. Even though it's not a million dollars, what is it? $250,000? Somewhere in that range. That's what I've deprived myself and my children from. It disgusts me. Had I had a plan before I had children, we could be at Disney World this summer. We could be off visiting colleges for my daughter who will be a junior."
She doesn't consider herself materialistic. She just needs the family things that the higher salary provided by a college education will buy. Like braces for one of her teenagers. A yearbook for another. Extra money to help another single mother pay a gas bill. Or enough money so she doesn't have to work when her child has a soccer game.
"Having no plan can cost you," she decided.
Now, Zamora is determined to begin her master's degree as soon as she earns her bachelor's degree, then to pursue her doctorate after that. "I'm determined," she said. "I'm not stopping until I get my doctorate. I refuse! We need more Hispanics at that administration level. We need more at the principal level. We need more at everything in the community!" she says, laughing. "I'd love to be part of that movement."
She's already involved in the Hispanic organization LULAC. She's president of the Bilingual Education Student Organization. And she continues her involvement in the P-16 "Cafe con Leche" Million-Dollar Conversations at her church and around town.
"Her learning story is very compelling and is now resonating throughout the Hispanic community," said Grant Simpson, former dean of the West College of Education, who helped spearhead the P-16 Council meetings for several years.
In fact, the afternoon Zamora talked to the Times Record News, she was tutoring a Hispanic student who was now making plans to go to college — but confided she had been so unfamiliar with her local schools that she thought Hirschi (High School) was a chocolate factory in town.
Zamora is also coaching her own four children, exposing them to the college textbooks and the vocabulary of college, such as SAT, GPA and degree plan.
"It's not, 'Are you going to college?' It's, 'Where are you going? What is your GPA? How are your grades?' " she said. "Now we know."

- Cooking Time:
- Servings:
- Preparation Time:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup small-curd cottage cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for rolling dough
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Sugar Glaze (see below)
- In a medium bowl, combine butter, cottage cheese, flour, and salt. Shape into a disk, and wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°. On a well-floured surface, roll dough out to a 14-inch circle. Cut circle evenly into 8 triangles. Roll each triangle up, from wide end to tip, turning ends of roll in to form a crescent shape. Place croissants 3 inches apart on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch any drips); bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.Transfer to wire rack. Cool 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make Sugar Glaze: In a glass measuring cup, add 2 teaspoons milk by 1/2 teaspoonfuls to 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, stirring until glaze is of a drizzling consistency. It should be thin enough to pour while still thick enough to coat croissants. Drizzle over croissants. Serve warm, or let cool to room temperature. Store at room temperature in an airtight container, up to 2 days.
- Also -- I had some issues rolling out the dough so I made it cinnamon roll style where you start with a square shape, roll it into a log and cut it into slices. FYI - No matter what recipe, no matter how hard I try, I cannot roll out dough properly, so don't blame the recipe.)
Notes"These have a unique flavor from the cottage cheese that I really enjoyed. They are best served fresh and warm."
