Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra vs Dodge Ram
dustyk Posts: 2,926The new GM light duty truck platform is getting rave reviews and if you go over to the Siverado/Sierra forms its a real lovefest. They're reported to be very smooth and powerful, much better assembled, and a joy to drive.
That being said, they should be. As a previous fleet manager I have thought for years that the GM light duty pickups were the most over rated trucks on the market. Reliability has been down right poor in the past and GM has usually been the toughest to get relieve from in warranty cases. Things are different now and GM needs to make friends. Maybe they've improved design and quality. I think its way too early to tell, but one of our GM techs have already commented about 4L70E and 4L80E transmission problems.
The full-size Dodge RAM has been a sturdy and reliable performer for my company, especially in the last few years. We've had no engine, transmission, or drive train issues. In fact, no major issues at all which is remarkable when you have 44 of them. The 2002-2004s seemed to have more electrical problems, but our recent purchases are absent any problems in this area. The 4.7 engine is bullet proof and so is the new 6-speed 545RFE transmission.
In actual practice I think you'll find that the fuel consumption between the 4.7 and the 5.7 Hemi in a four-wheel drive might be negligible. This, of course, is all very dependent on how you drive. I do think that both the 4.7 and 5.7 will give you better gas mileage than the old LA360 (5.9) and a careful driver will probably realize slightly better MPG with the 4.7.
Good luck and best regards,

nam92 Posts: 3I made the purchase and picked the Ram Quad Cab 4x4. The GMC was nice, but the Ram body style and the reliability factor made my decision. I always told myself that I would not buy a vehicle after the 1st year or 2 of a major redesign. I've heard the horror stories of major redesigns and wanted the reliability since I plan on keeping the truck for about 10 years. Truck comes in June. Can't wait.
richierich5 Posts: 1Well here is my 2 cents. I dont know too much about trucks such as in depth specs and have not owned one but am going to purchase one soon. I recently worked at a ford dealership for a few months and left because my heart was not in it. Dont get me wrong, the trucks are very cool and fun to drive around with customers. But i could not wrap my heart around the ford product. the mustangs are cool i guess but id only pay half the price to have one. eleanor is the only car on the lot that i would look at and i still though "crap" in my mind. The trucks are good rigs but i have a verdict after reading through all these threads. Fords break down and dont last. I do like the super duty trucks but for example, the f-350 has 8 radiators. in 5 years from now i dont wanna spend thousands of dollars replacing those bad boys. I know that if u want a beast u need to replace [non-permissible content removed] down the road but i just dont trust ford. the cars on the lot are crap, dont even go for one, ur wasting ur money, go to volkswagon or audi, much more quality and design. i dont know who the [non-permissible content removed] is desgining fords new products but he must be the most boring person in the world to talk to. cheap suits for cheap suits wearers i guess. back to trucks, its seems the no one is knocking gmc these days and i could understand why, the denalis and sierras i never hear gripes about. and people lets not argue about stupid things for page after page such as a bolt or handling. go freaking drive it and do the testing urself. what feels good to you? its ur freaking money. dont worry about lap testing and ventilated breaks. u can get those on anything! the new ford f-150s are nice but come on, how boring is it to drive on. i mean, u just have to be so bland to seek one out and be excited about it day after day, especially the consensus that rams and others are so much more powerful. i understand the little features ford goes to make better and its appreciated. but the inside is so one dimensional and boring. i know this is somewhat of a rant, but i think there are too many ford people who just wont throw the towel in and are basing their beliefs because ford has number one selling truck. sure the taurus was number one selling car, and that made ford great. but would u buy one? now these macho truck guys are hiding behind number 1 truck? doesnt mean an f-150 is better than the dodge or chevy? my rant is nearing an end here, but i just had to say after working at ford for so long, i had no desire to sell a ford and felt the company prided itself over stupid features rather than saying, we have the baddest truck out. Thanks!
scoopyex Posts: 31Don't rule out Dodge as your next truck as a result of seeing this post. I've done a little bit of research into this problem, and the only truck I've found so far matching my problem is isolated to Toyota Tundras (yes they have a chronic problem with body panels rusting prematurely) and nothing related to Dodge. so far the problem I am having is purely isolated to my truck which I happen to LOVE and it will not deter me from buying another Dodge Ram in the future.
Anyhow, several weeks ago I took my truck, an 07 SLT 4.7 4X2 short bed 16K miles to the car wash. After every wash I normally wipe the truck down with a new microfiber towel top to bottom. The last time I washed the truck, I noticed an orangy/yellowy substance on the center section of the passenger door. Since I bought the truck last March, I've taken to long trips with it to PA and NC. I though maybe some time during one of those trips I might have accidently driven over some yellow paint or something when there was some road remarking going on. I looked around the truck some more and didn't really find any of the material any place else. Well, seeing as it was on the surface (lots of it) I decided to see if it would scrape off and a few of the tiny bits did. I didn't want to believe what it was then as I don't want to believe what it is now.. but sadly, the truth is, the material oozing out of pinhole size nooks in my paint is rust, and it's gotten worse since. I thought it was isolated to the passenger door, and did some more looking around.. sure enuff.. I'm finding the same problem on the hood, the drivers door, the tailgate, and both sides of the bed. My truck is brite white and now it's got acne. Has anybody else had this problem and what has Chrysler done about it? it seems to me that just sanding the panels down and repainting them is just going to result in it happening again later down the road, since once metal starts to rust, it's pretty much a death sentence for it. When I bought the truck a year ago, I intended on keeping it for five to ten years because that's the kind of life expectancy I was counting on. at this rate the body is going to look like swiss cheese by next year if it's not fixed.
Althought these pictures are not from my truck. this is exactly what I'm seeing on my body panels (nice litte kick in the ribs for the Tundra owners to)

the_big_al Posts: 1,073Here's just my 2 cents worth... GM is redesigning the trucks this year, but from what I understand it's only the hlaf-tons. the HD's may not come along until much later, possibly even a year away from now. Like the article said - the GM ain't stylish but it get the job done ,and done better than the Ford or the Dodge. If styling is the issue, than check out the GMC version. It is exactly like the Silverado in capability, but in my opinion has a better look. But if you don't mind waiting, I am sure that GM's new HD line when it comes out will be bar none the best HD truck out there.
grabby Posts: 2I have a chevrolet pick-up 1500 year 2000 ext,cab it has 110,000. miles live in st-louis missouri and the rocker panels are rusted already since last year.Now you can press gently with a knife and it goes right trhoug it.Can I get help from GM? It is an expensif fix.What would be the better way to fix it?Cover it up with Stainess steel trim? and what brand?
Bluecollar09 Posts: 2Looking to get a 4x4 2500 diesel pickup. I honestly am not too familiar with them. I have heard nothing but good things about the Cummins 12v diesels, but am aware of Dodge's common transmission problems. I also like the great fuel economy that the Cummins provides and the straight front axle design in the Dodge's. How was the Duramax from 01-03? Any problems? And how is the fuel economy? The main thing that turned me onto GM was the Allison tranny. Im not too fond of the IFS. Does GM make actual shift in 4x4 rather than Push Button(makes me a little weary)? Any and all help would be appreciated. Ill be hauling a camper on the beach and pulling a 25' boat. No large trailers as of now, but who knows what the future holds. Ive driven my share of Fords and just am not interested in another one, so please dont come in here and insist on a Powerstroke.
loncray Posts: 301Well, I own an '03 Cummins Dodge and have had only one operational problem that wasn't my fault - a clutch switch that activates the ignition only when the clutch is depressed. One tow and a repair under warranty later and my truck was good as new. I haven't had any problems with the transmission - the big 6-speed as the new automatic wasn't available yet when I bought it. I have nothing but praise for the big Cummins engine, though diesel being more than a dollar higher than gasoline is displeasing.
dustyk Posts: 2,926The fact is transmission shops are more prone to see a diesel-motored light duty pick-up that's been pushed past the design limits than a gasser, whether is a Chevy, Dodge, or a Ford. For some reason many diesel owners seem to think their machinery is more impervious to problems associated with lack of transmission maintenance and exceeding load limits.
In 1998 Dodge had the 47RE 4-speed transmission behind the Cummins motor. This transmission was adequate under design conditions, however, like any other component that is exposed to exceeding design parameters they proved to be less reliable. Chrysler later replaced the 47RE with the 4-speed 48RE, a much more substantial design with heavier componentry and a far better computer program for diesel operation. These have proven to be fairly reliable.
The new 6-speed 68RFE that is unique to the LD Dodge Cummins' is built off of the 545RFE used behind Dodge truck V8s after 2002. The 545RFE is without a doubt one of the most reliable and durable transmissions available in light duty trucks, bar none. These transmissions are bandless, fully electronic, fully adaptive and have been exceptionally trouble free. After model year 2007, I think you'll find more complaints with the Allison than you will a 68RFE.
Dodge diesel mediums (4500 & 5500) use a 68RC, which is a different transmission.

obyone Posts: 8,065It's all a matter of personal preference like how the truck looks and performs. Both trucks will serve your purpose leaving the only thing left like which one looks better or has the best deal. The GM trucks have better mileage while the Dodge has better low end grunt. I don't believe either is morre reliable than the other.
cthom10388 Posts: 4lets settle it, I have owned all 3, we will start from the top, siverado 2500, duramx,allison
tows like a bear, decent fuel mileage, worst reliabilty and not quality biult.
f250, 5.4 gas, auto, no power, poor fuel economy, uncomfortable, can't tow a whole lot with out trouble--but it is a gas job
ram 3500 mega with cummins, great trucks tows great(duramax a little better but I believe it is the tranny that makes the differance)best fuel mileage, not a very nice ride, well biult, feels a lot more solid than the other 2.
you can read all the stats you want but they do not mean anything, test drive them and find the one you like from the day to day people that drive the trucks to the max capacity, I am a general contractor and work my trucks so I do have a small amount of knowledge when it comes to them. -
iceman27 Posts: 1Its good to see you are looking for a heavy duty truck. As i was reading this the comment about the allison transmission caught my eye. I just wanted to clear something up about gm and their "allison transmissions". They arent actual allison transmissions. They are only allison approved transmissions. A true allison transmission shifts like crap and sounds like crap, but will never break. So dont let gm fool you. Anyways if ur looking for a heavy duty truck i would go with either a ford or dodge.
allisontech Posts: 1Where did you here that it is not an Allison Transmission.The internal parts of pick up truck Allisons are the same as used in medium duty trucks,pick ups use different converter and rear housings.I work for a distributor and with a serial number from the tranny I can furnish any part except the housings.As far as the shifting issue,I am confident you will not find a better shifting transmission in the truck market.

The Fire Museum of Memphis named a star, "Memphis Firefighters," located in the Constellation of Perseus, meaning Hero, and made the presentation at Sunday's Memorial Service, honoring our 53 fellow Memphis Firefighters who have been killed in the line of duty. Although a symbolic gesture, the star honors Memphis Firefighters both past and present. The star, "Memphis Firefighters," is registered in the International Star Registry and can be seen telescopically in the Northern Hemisphere at latitudes between plus 90 degrees and minus 35 degrees. Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight, someone's thinking of you, and loving you tonight!"

The Fire Museum of Memphis, "the Premiere Fire Museum," is excited to announce a new $350,000.00 exhibit to the Fire Museum of Memphis, "Honoring Our Heroes."
Donated to the FMOM by native Tennessean, Darrell Lynn and his wife, Kimberly, the exhibit opened in Central Park in New York, City, on the 10th Anniversary of 9-11. "Honoring Our Heroes" is scheduled for grand opening September 11, 2014, immediately following the Memphis Fire Department's Memorial Service at the FMOM beginning at 8:45 AM.
The Fire Museum of Memphis received a $50,000.00 award from the Assisi Foundation of Memphis for the purpose of establishing a home for "Honoring Our Heroes. The 14 foot high by 9 foot long exhibit depicts the faces of nearly 403 First Responders who gave their lives at the World Trade Center on 9-11, painted on 4 inch tiles in the shape of an American Flag. Design 500, an award winning museum planning and design firm, created the area in the museum surrounding the exhibit, which also honors the 67 members of Tennessee Task Force One who deployed to the Pentagon in the aftermath of 9-11.

In the late 1960s, an independent study suggested turning a portion of Noble Street into an enclosed mall, but the plan never came into place.
By 1974, the City Council had launched Project Anniston: Rebirth of a City. Though it led to the establishment of 15 businesses and the remodeling of 50 structures, the program failed, against city leaders' hopes, to lessen the economic pain caused by the opening of Quintard Mall.
In 1977, the city paid $272,000 of a $462,000 project called Anniston Arcade to beautify Noble Street. It included the erection of cross-street metal beams that many residents referred to as monkey bars.
In 1984, city leaders hoped a $1.1 million project to turn the Lyric Theater into a 21,000-square-foot office space would bring an injection of upscale businesses to downtown.
In 2003 and 2004, the city spent $2.1 million to complete its Streetscape project, which repaved and installed brick walkways on Noble Street.
Despite all those programs, building owners today still struggle to get tenants downtown. But fresh faces in City Hall are studying the problem again. They hope to draft a plan for the district — developed from feedback from residents and business owners — that will capitalize on resources like the area's cycling trails.
Local setbacks
Many of the issues hurting the development along Noble Street are beyond the control of city leaders, from a national economic recession that has taken five years to abate, to layoffs at the Anniston Army Depot. And then there is the general exodus of shoppers toward Oxford's big-box retailers.
But there have been local setbacks, too.
The city's Downtown Redevelopment Authority, an entity created to provide bond financing to businesses, has been inactive for years. Its chairman called it a "dead board" in 2007.
The City Council last year voted to establish a commercial development authority that will consolidate many of the city's inactive development boards.
Mayor Vaughn Stewart said the council will hold a work session in the next few weeks to determine how the authority will be organized, who will lead it and what entities it will consolidate.
Many people blame Anniston's leadership prior to the 2012 elections for the city's slow pace in downtown redevelopment.
Agreeing with that view is Ray Bryan, chairman of the board of the Spirit of Anniston, a nonprofit seeking to bring businesses downtown and preserve the area's historic architecture. Spirit officials saw a lack of support in the previous city administration, he said.
"It was just different. I think there were a lot of issues going on that made it hard to function," Bryan said.
The Anniston City Council in 2011 cut the Spirit's funding in half, to $95,000, an allocation it kept in 2012, too. And the nonprofit's 2013 budget was cut to $70,000.
Ann Welch, who was the chair of the Spirit board in 2010, said the organization had to go to extraordinary lengths to justify its existence at budget time despite the investment of more than $23 million of private capital in the downtown since it began.
"The lack of investment was really extraordinary," said Betsy Bean, the last director of Spirit of Anniston, who was fired by the board in October.
In a phone interview Thursday, Bean said Bryan told her the day she was fired that the incoming council would not support the Spirit of Anniston with her at the helm.
Bryan said he would not comment on Bean's firing. He said the Spirit board is taking resumes for the position and has purposefully not set a deadline for hiring a director in the hopes of attracting the best possible candidate.
"The key is having someone with a heart for Anniston and the people here," Bryan said.
Stewart said that if things are to turn around for Anniston's downtown district, it's important the Spirit of Anniston gets the resources it needs.
"I think the Spirit needs to be an independent entity outside of City Hall," he said.
Spirit is associated with the National Main Street program, an initiative to revitalize America's downtown areas and preserve their history. The program started 30 years ago and now has more than 1,600 participating communities.
Kennedy Smith, a downtown development consultant who served as the director of the National Main Street Center for 19 years, said Main Street follows four main steps: organization, which includes a full-time, paid director; promotion, through marketing campaigns and events; design, through maintenance programs and revamping historic structures; and economic restructuring, by creating a mix of businesses that can thrive in the local market.
"They've got it down to a T," Stewart said. "It's almost like following a recipe."
Main Street programs throughout the country seek to organize community groups, development authorities, citizens and private nonprofits so that they're all working toward the same goal.
Kay Moore, the director of Downtown Gadsden, which is also part of the National Main Street Program, said having a full-time director is crucial to supporting that public/private partnership and seeing a Main Street program thrive.
"It's huge," she said.
Gadsden's downtown had an occupancy rate of about 60 percent in the 1980s, which had improved to about 92 percent last year.
"It was an absolute wasteland, but they've built it back up and now it's booming," Harris said.
On a misson
Rebecca Moryl, an assistant professor of economics at Emmanuel College in Boston, has researched what allows some municipalities to reach their economic development goals.
She looked at the initiatives of three Massachusetts cities, all of them former mill towns experiencing some stage of economic downturn.
Her data showed two major findings: Mission statements matter and those mission statements must be part of the decision-making process.
Moryl said many cities simply write mission statements because everybody else does. But such statements must contain be a concrete, tangible goal, and all entities involved in the development project must work toward that goal, she said.
"You create that list of priorities, and it's important that those don't go into a binder on a shelf," she said.
Stewart said city leaders will develop a mission statement for downtown Anniston once the city's strategic plan is put together. That will be done after city leaders complete a listening tour, a series of town-hall-style meetings, to get feedback from the community, he said. When they do compose the mission statement, Stewart said, city leaders will lean heavily on the advice of consultants like Smith.
The council held its first stop on the listening tour in January. So far, city leaders have made four of the six stops scheduled.
Stewart said he's been happy with the turnout as city leaders have received important feedback from residents, which will be crucial in developing a mission for downtown revitalization.
The council members have no shortage of ideas to revamp the area along Noble Street.
Councilwoman Millie Harris said she believes the downtown district needs an anchor to draw traffic to the area, such as Gadsden's Mary G. Hardin Center for Cultural Arts.
Both Stewart and Councilman David Reddick said the city should publicize programs like the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce's mentoring program, in which retired entrepreneurs provide guidance to local business owners.
Councilman Seyram Selase said the city needs to put a high priority on attracting local businesses rather than chain stores or big-box retailers.
Councilman Jay Jenkins said that if downtown revitalization is ever to be successful, it will take the community, civic organizations and city leaders working together to promote every resource the area has, from the civil rights landmarks to the biking trails.
"All of those are pieces to the puzzle and it's a big puzzle," he said.
Perception of crime
Both Bryan and Stewart said that to attract more local foot traffic, city leaders must also work to promote the area as safe.
Stewart said that though crime statistics do not show the area to be particularly dangerous, "perception is reality." He said combating the perception of danger could mean improvements like better lighting and more police patrols.
Shane Denham, Anniston's interim police chief, said more patrols and better lighting will always be of help to the community. But he said the area along Noble Street doesn't have that much crime.
"I think the perception is more wrong than it is correct," Denham said.
He said the Anniston Police Department at one time had officers patrol the downtown area on bicycles or on foot. He said those officers' jobs were usually boring.
Denham did point out that crime rates increase the farther one travels to the west in the city.
According to documents provided by Anniston police, the department received 146 reports of robbery and burglary throughout 2012 for a 16-block area centered on Noble Street. That area runs between 8th and 16th streets and Gurnee and Wilmer avenues.
Denham said business districts typically have less crime than most residential areas. He said many of the bars in the downtown area have security staff who handle many issues without having to call police.
Robert Downing, the owner of Downing's General Store on Gurnee Avenue, said he's not particularly concerned about safety downtown. His family has owned the store for 50 years, and he can't remember the last time he had to call the police.
"The people who are going to be afraid of that are going to be afraid of anything," he said.
Downing said the best thing the city could do would be to strengthen codes that would make property owners better maintain vacant structures downtown, making them more appealing to potential tenants.
Smith, the consultant, said many cities deal with the same vacancy issues downtown Anniston has. However, she observed, Anniston seems to have more home-grown businesses, such as restaurants, attracting traffic to Noble Street.
"If those things are there, that means there's a market, and there are things you can begin to do," she said.
Just before the 2012 elections, Smith came to Anniston for a speaking engagement that was part of a candidates forum. What impressed her most about Anniston, she said, wasn't any particular resource or building, but rather the residents' enthusiasm when they talked about reclaiming their downtown.
She said she remembered about 150 people showing up for the event.
"And there was lively discussion," she said.
Business owners
Bill Folsom said he would love to open a small pub downtown, but he still thinks it's just too much of a risk financially.
"It scares me to death," he said in an interview in December.
Folsom owns City Market Buffet and Grill on South Quintard Avenue, well outside Anniston's downtown district. He said he has had to reduce his operating hours because traffic in the area fades as residents flock to the Oxford Exchange in the evenings.
"You can wish all you want but the reality is they're growing business down there (in Oxford)," he said.
Rodney Snider, CEO of Cheaha Brewing, said he and his partners felt the location of their planned brewpub at 12th Street and Walnut Avenue was the best spot for them in the county.
Snider said they believe in the new council's vision for downtown, and that that vision will bring more people to the district. The owners of Cheaha Brewing also believe bicycle trail projects nearby — the Chief Ladiga Trail and the biking trails on Coldwater Mountain — will bring in cyclists from the area, and Snider said brewpubs are popular among bike enthusiasts.
But Snider admitted a big reason for Cheaha Brewing choosing the downtown location was the building itself, a century-old rail depot.
"A lot of things there need some TLC and need someone to believe in it, and we want to be a part of that," Snider said.
Sam Sutchaleo, owner of Thai One On, said a big factor in coming to Anniston to set up his restaurant was the city's Revolving Loan program, a project that provides financing to businesses looking to make capital improvements.
"It's going to be helpful, very helpful," he said. "I had not seen anything like this in any other city," Sutchaleo said at the council's listening tour in January.
Lewis Downing, manager of Downing's General Store, said he would like to see the city put ordinances in place that would force owners of downtown properties to maintain the buildings. And he would like to see them enforce those ordinances.
"If you just started there you could get a lot of things done," he said.
Bean, the former Spirit director, said Anniston's ordinances regarding upkeep of buildings downtown are incredibly weak when compared to those of other cities.
Bike City USA
Patrick Wigley, owner of Wig's Wheels, said the city needs to keep focused on projects such as completing a park on Monsanto Road that will serve as an entryway to the Coldwater Mountain trails and an initiative to make a path connecting downtown Anniston to the Chief Ladiga Trail.
The council seems to support that idea. Stewart has said he wants Anniston to gain a reputation as "Bike City, USA." And on Feb. 13, the council voted unanimously to fund $450,000 worth of work to extend the Coldwater Mountain trail system into Anniston and connect it to the trailhead park on Monsanto Road.
Wigley said that once those projects are in place, Anniston would likely see growth in the hospitality industry.
Wigley pointed to Louisville, Ky., which this year hosted United Cycling International's Cyclo-Cross World Championship. He said that event brought 10,000 people to the city — all of them spending $100 to $200 per day.
"That's a pretty hefty weekend," he said.
Wigley said cyclists gravitate toward mom-and-pop businesses rather than big-box stores, a trend that would further the economic boost of the bike trails.
In that regard, Wigley said he's hopeful efforts to allow Sunday alcohol sales in Anniston will help local pubs and restaurants cater to cyclists used to having such choices in larger metropolitan areas.
Bryan said he's confident the bicycle trails and the other initiatives city leaders are pushing for will work out.
"I have a great expectancy that in the next few years it's going to be a tremendous place to come. It's going to be a destination," he said.

UEAPME and ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) are pleased to invite you to a roundtable aiming to discuss and exchange best practices on how to identify and remove key obstacles to entrepreneurial activities, support entrepreneurs in starting up businesses and help them to face challenges.
As we emerge from one of the most severe economic crises of the last century, its effects continue to be profoundly felt within society. It is clear that the balance of the economy must change.
New companies represent the most important source of new jobs - creating 4.1 million new jobs every year in Europe - and, as demonstrated in a study recently published by ACCA, high-growth oriented entrepreneurs (or GOEs) in both developing and developed economies have a key role to play in driving economic growth.
Europe thus needs more entrepreneurs and must build a new economy that seeks entrepreneurial solutions to our major challenges.
However, the EU lags behind its competitors in entrepreneurial attitudes. While only 11 per cent of European citizens are entrepreneurs, 45 per cent aspire to be their own boss. To unlock this enormous potential for jobs and growth, the European Commission has launched a consultation, with a view to publish a European Entrepreneurship Action Plan by the end of 2012. This aims to boost entrepreneurship at all levels, namely second chance, while improving access to finance and entrepreneurial education and training.
It is indeed crucial to assess where the entrepreneurial potential can be unleashed and to develop the right frameworks to reward innovation. We must place entrepreneurship at the forefront of our future productive EU economy, while providing the right incentives for individuals, organisations and investors.

Mauritania, three times the size of Arizona, is situated in northwest Africa with about 350 mi (592 km) of coastline on the Atlantic Ocean. It is bordered by Morocco on the north, Algeria and Mali on the east, and Senegal on the south. The country is mostly desert, with the exception of the fertile Senegal River valley in the south and grazing land in the north. GovernmentMilitary rule. The legal system is based on Islam. HistoryMauritania was first inhabited by blacks and Berbers, and it was a center for the Berber Almoravid movement in the 11th century, which sought to spread Islam through western Africa. It was first explored by the Portuguese in the 15th century, but by the 19th century the French had gained control. France organized the area into a territory in 1904, and in 1920 it became one of the colonies that constituted French West Africa. In 1946, it was named a French overseas territory.

Merry Christmas girls and boys!!
I'm an extremely festive girl when it comes to special occasions and I tend to love having parties and dressing up for Christmas!! This year, we held a house party at my best friend's apartment and had kris kringle (also known as secret santa) with my loved ones.
Jeanice gave me a photo frame filled with our memories and a jewellery tree! Thank you baby!
To complete our christmas party, we also ordered Laos dishes from one of my favourite laos restaurants called Laos Village in Fairfield. You guys have to try this place. It's cheap & their dishes are mouth-wateringggg.
Pic of me right before heading to Christmas Dinner. I think my makeup & hair looks abit different because I had darker pink lips and had my hair tied up, but it's definitely still the same night!!
It was also raining in Sydney on Christmas (hence the umbrella)
And ofcourse Christmas isn't christmas without driving around scouting out the best lit-up houses. We drove to about 10 houses this year and found some of the best ones I've ever seen in my 24 years of life! :O
That's it for my christmas. I hope you guys had a great christmas break and had a great getaway – if you went anywhere!
What is everyone's plans for New Years Eve? :)

Adam and Seth. (1-5) The patriarchs from Seth to Enoch. (6-20) Enoch. (21-24) Methuselah to Noah. (25-32)
Verses 1-5 Adam was made in the image of God; but when fallen he begat a son in his own image, sinful and defiled, frail, wretched, and mortal, like himself. Not only a man like himself, consisting of body and soul, but a sinner like himself. This was the reverse of that Divine likeness in which Adam was made; having lost it, he could not convey it to his seed. Adam lived, in all, 930 years; and then died, according to the sentence passed upon him, "To dust thou shalt return." Though he did not die in the day he ate forbidden fruit, yet in that very day he became mortal. Then he began to die; his whole life after was but a reprieve, a forfeited, condemned life; it was a wasting, dying life. Man's life is but dying by degrees.
Verses 6-20 Concerning each of these, except Enoch, it is said, "and he died." It is well to observe the deaths of others. They all lived very long; not one of them died till he had seen almost eight hundred years, and some of them lived much longer; a great while for an immortal soul to be prisoned in a house of clay. The present life surely was not to them such a burden as it commonly is now, else they would have been weary of it. Nor was the future life so clearly revealed then, as it now under the gospel, else they would have been urgent to remove to it. All the patriarchs that lived before the flood, except Noah, were born before Adam died. From him they might receive a full account of the creation, the fall, the promise, and the Divine precepts about religious worship and a religious life. Thus God kept up in his church the knowledge of his will.
Verses 21-24 Enoch was the seventh from Adam. Godliness is walking with God: which shows reconciliation to God, for two cannot walk together except they be agreed, ( Amos 3:3 ) . It includes all the parts of a godly, righteous, and sober life. To walk with God, is to set God always before us, to act as always under his eye. It is constantly to care, in all things to please God, and in nothing to offend him. It is to be followers of him as dear children. The Holy Spirit, instead of saying, Enoch lived, says, Enoch walked with God. This was his constant care and work; while others lived to themselves and the world, he lived to God. It was the joy of his life. Enoch was removed to a better world. As he did not live like the rest of mankind, so he did not leave the world by death as they did. He was not found, because God had translated him, ( Hebrews 11:5 ) . He had lived but 365 years, which, as men's ages were then, was but the midst of a man's days. God often takes those soonest whom he loves best; the time they lose on earth, is gained in heaven, to their unspeakable advantage. See how Enoch's removal is expressed: he was not, for God took him. He was not any longer in this world; he was changed, as the saints shall be, who are alive at Christ's second coming. Those who begin to walk with God when young, may expect to walk with him long, comfortably, and usefully. The true christian's steady walk in holiness, through many a year, till God takes him, will best recommend that religion which many oppose and many abuse. And walking with God well agrees with the cares, comforts, and duties of life.
Verses 25-32 Methuselah signifies, 'he dies, there is a dart,' 'a sending forth,' namely, of the deluge, which came the year that Methuselah died. He lived 969 years, the longest that any man ever lived on earth; but the longest liver must die at last. Noah signifies rest; his parents gave him that name, with a prospect of his being a great blessing to his generation. Observe his father's complaint of the calamitous state of human life, by the entrance of sin, and the curse of sin. Our whole life is spent in labour, and our time filled up with continual toil. God having cursed the ground, it is as much as some can do, with the utmost care and pains, to get a hard livelihood out comfort us." It signifies not only that desire and expectation which parents generally have about their children, that they will be comforts to them and helpers, though they often prove otherwise; but it signifies also a prospect of something more. Is Christ ours? Is heaven ours? We need better comforters under our toil and sorrow, than the dearest relations and the most promising offspring; may we seek and find comforts in Christ.
Genesis 5:1-32 . GENEALOGY OF THE PATRIARCHS.
1. book of the generations--(See Genesis 11:4 ).
Adam--used here either as the name of the first man, or of the human race generally.
5. all the days . . . Adam lived--The most striking feature in this catalogue is the longevity of Adam and his immediate descendants. Ten are enumerated ( Genesis 5:5-32 ) in direct succession whose lives far exceed the ordinary limits with which we are familiar--the shortest being three hundred sixty-five, [ Genesis 5:23 ] and the longest nine hundred sixty-nine years [ Genesis 5:27 ].It is useless to inquire whether and what secondary causes may have contributed to this protracted longevity--vigorous constitutions, the nature of their diet, the temperature and salubrity of the climate; or, finally--as this list comprises only the true worshippers of God--whether their great age might be owing to the better government of their passions and the quiet, even tenor of their lives. Since we cannot obtain satisfactory evidence on these points, it is wise to resolve the fact into the sovereign will of God. We can, however, trace some of the important uses to which, in the early economy of Providence, it was subservient. It was the chief means of reserving a knowledge of God, of the great truths of religion, as well as the influence of genuine piety. So that, as their knowledge was obtained by tradition, they would be in a condition to preserve it in the greatest purity.
21. Enoch . . . begat Methuselah--This name signifies, "He dieth, and the sending forth," so that Enoch gave it as prophetical of the flood. It is computed that Methuselah died in the year of that catastrophe.
24. And Enoch walked with God--a common phrase in Eastern countries denoting constant and familiar intercourse.
was not; for God took him--In Hebrews 11:5 , we are informed that he was translated to heaven--a mighty miracle, designed to effect what ordinary means of instruction had failed to accomplish, gave a palpable proof to an age of almost universal unbelief that the doctrines which he had taught ( Jude 1:14 Jude 1:15 ) were true and that his devotedness to the cause of God and righteousness in the midst of opposition was highly pleasing to the mind of God.
26. Lamech--a different person from the one mentioned in the preceding chapter [ Genesis 4:18 ]. Like his namesake, however, he also spoke in numbers on occasion of the birth of Noah--that is, "rest" or "comfort" [ Genesis 5:29 , Margin]. "The allusion is, undoubtedly, to the penal consequences of the fall in earthly toils and sufferings, and to the hope of a Deliverer, excited by the promise made to Eve. That this expectation was founded on a divine communication we infer from the importance attached to it and the confidence of its expression" [PETER SMITH].
32. Noah was five hundred years old: and . . . begat--That he and the other patriarchs were advanced in life before children were born to them is a difficulty accounted for probably from the circumstance that Moses does not here record their first-born sons, but only the succession from Adam through Seth to Abraham.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 6, 2013, at First Baptist Church in Mound Bayou with Dr. Andrew L. Hawkins officating. Burial will follow in Pleasant Green Cemetery in Mound Bayou.
Visitation will be from 2-6 p.m. Friday, April 5, 2013, at Byas Funeral Home in Cleveland.
Robert Earl Latham, affectionately known by his loved ones as "Lil Bro" was born on April 27,1942, to A.G. and Lucille Latham. He was the second of eight children and the oldest brother.
His mother and father as well as one brother, Jesse Lee Harris, preceded Robert in death.
At an early age, he confessed his belief and love for Christ and became a member of Pleasant Green Baptist Church in Mound Bayou. In his later adult years, he became a member of Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Dr. Andrew L. Hawkins. Over the years, he developed a love for his church and in recent years, he started attending the New Member Orientation sessions and yearned for a closer walk with the Lord.
Robert received his early education from the teachings of Mrs. Felder in Mound Bayou. He continued his education at Mound Bayou Training School and graduated with the class of 1960. Robert's love for sports was exemplified through his superb athletic abilities and he became a renowned football and baseball star during his high school years earning him recognition that would forever live within the history of Mound Bayou.
Robert furthered his education at Tennessee A & I University in Nashville, Tenn., where he received a B.S in Aeronautics with a minor in Industrial Education. He then received a Master's of Science in Guidance and Counseling with a Minor in Administration from Delta State University and his Educational Specialist in Administration from Delta State University.
In 1987, Robert was united in holy matrimony to the love of his life, Wendy Latham. To this union, one daughter was born, Alicia Tyneal Latham. Robert also had the privilege of loving two other daughters, Valeria Mitchell and Rosalind Hodges, and one son, Carlin Latham.
Robert's passion was always education and the empowerment of others. Over his 42-year educational tenure, Robert touched and changed the lives of many. He believed that education was the key to unlock success. Robert left a blazing trail all over the Mississippi Delta, empowering students in schools such as: Mound Bayou Public School, Benoit School District, Sunflower County School District, Ruleville School District, Drew School District and Cleveland School District.
Robert was also employed by Mississippi Valley State University as a instructor/grant administrator and program writer; Delta State University as a psychology instructor; Mississippi Employment Services as a supervisor; Community Action Program of Bolivar County as a supervisor and Chicago Public Schools as a teacher.
Robert lived by a wise philosophy, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."-Nelson Mandela.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 25 years, Wendy Latham of Mound Bayou; daughters, Alicia Latham of Hattiesburg, Valeria Mitchell of Houston, Texas, and Rosalind Latham Hodges of Cleveland; son; Carlin Latham of Cleveland; three sisters; Geraldine Bouie and Barbara Collins, both of Chicago, Ill., and Betty Kelley of Mound Bayou; four brothers, Avon Latham and Larry Latham, both of Mound Bayou, Milton Latham of Memphis, Tenn., and Wendell Latham of Chicago, Ill.; three grandchildren, Lamario Latham of Jackson, Shandalyn Hodges of Cleveland and Bria Mitchell Gillespie of Houston, Texas; a great-granddaughter, Jorden Latham; special lifelong friends, Isaiah Edwards of Olympia Fields, Ill., and Lawrence Gant of Chicago, Ill.; and host of nephews, nieces, cousins, friends and community citizens that he held dear to his heart.

The apostle answers several questions about marriage. (1-9) Married Christians should not seek to part from their unbelieving consorts. (10-16) Persons, in any fixed station, should usually abide in that. (17-24) It was most desirable, on account of the then perilous days, for people to sit loose to this world. (25-35) Great prudence be used in marriage; it should be only in the Lord. (36-40)
Verses 1-9 The apostle tells the Corinthians that it was good, in that juncture of time, for Christians to keep themselves single. Yet he says that marriage, and the comforts of that state, are settled by Divine wisdom. Though none may break the law of God, yet that perfect rule leaves men at liberty to serve him in the way most suited to their powers and circumstances, of which others often are very unfit judges. All must determine for themselves, seeking counsel from God how they ought to act.
Verses 10-16 Man and wife must not separate for any other cause than what Christ allows. Divorce, at that time, was very common among both Jews and Gentiles, on very slight pretexts. Marriage is a Divine institution; and is an engagement for life, by God's appointment. We are bound, as much as in us lies, to live peaceably with all men, ( Romans 12:18 ) , therefore to promote the peace and comfort of our nearest relatives, though unbelievers. It should be the labour and study of those who are married, to make each other as easy and happy as possible. Should a Christian desert a husband or wife, when there is opportunity to give the greatest proof of love? Stay, and labour heartily for the conversion of thy relative. In every state and relation the Lord has called us to peace; and every thing should be done to promote harmony, as far as truth and holiness will permit.
Verses 17-24 The rules of Christianity reach every condition; and in every state a man may live so as to be a credit to it. It is the duty of every Christian to be content with his lot, and to conduct himself in his rank and place as becomes a Christian. Our comfort and happiness depend on what we are to Christ, not what we are in the world. No man should think to make his faith or religion, an argument to break through any natural or civil obligations. He should quietly and contentedly abide in the condition in which he is placed by Divine Providence.
Verses 25-35 Considering the distress of those times, the unmarried state was best. Notwithstanding, the apostle does not condemn marriage. How opposite are those to the apostle Paul who forbid many to marry, and entangle them with vows to remain single, whether they ought to do so or not! He exhorts all Christians to holy indifference toward the world. As to relations; they must not set their hearts on the comforts of the state. As to afflictions; they must not indulge the sorrow of the world: even in sorrow the heart may be joyful. As to worldly enjoyments; here is not their rest. As to worldly employment; those that prosper in trade, and increase in wealth, should hold their possessions as though they held them not. As to all worldly concerns; they must keep the world out of their hearts, that they may not abuse it when they have it in their hands. All worldly things are show; nothing solid. All will be quickly gone. Wise concern about worldly interests is a duty; but to be full of care, to have anxious and perplexing care, is a sin. By this maxim the apostle solves the case whether it were advisable to marry. That condition of life is best for every man, which is best for his soul, and keeps him most clear of the cares and snares of the world. Let us reflect on the advantages and snares of our own condition in life; that we may improve the one, and escape as far as possible all injury from the other. And whatever cares press upon the mind, let time still be kept for the things of the Lord.
Verses 36-40 The apostle is thought to give advice here about the disposal of children in marriage. In this view, the general meaning is plain. Children should seek and follow the directions of their parents as to marriage. And parents should consult their children's wishes; and not reckon they have power to do with them, and dictate just as they please, without reason. The whole is closed with advice to widows. Second marriages are not unlawful, so that it is kept in mind, to marry in the Lord. In our choice of relations, and change of conditions, we should always be guided by the fear of God, and the laws of God, and act in dependence on the providence of God. Change of condition ought only to be made after careful consideration, and on probable grounds, that it will be to advantage in our spiritual concerns.
1 Corinthians 7:1-40 . REPLY TO THEIR INQUIRIES AS TO MARRIAGE; THE GENERAL PRINCIPLE IN OTHER THINGS IS, ABIDE IN YOUR STATION, FOR THE TIME IS SHORT.
1. The Corinthians in their letter had probably asked questions which tended to disparage marriage, and had implied that it was better to break it off when contracted with an unbeliever.
good--that is, "expedient," because of "the present distress"; that is, the unsettled state of the world, and the likelihood of persecutions tearing rudely asunder those bound by marriage ties. Hebrews 13:4 , in opposition to ascetic and Romish notions of superior sanctity in celibacy, declares, "Marriage is HONORABLE IN ALL." Another reason why in some cases celibacy may be a matter of Christian expediency is stated in 1 Corinthians 7:34 1 Corinthians 7:35 , "that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction." But these are exceptional cases, and in exceptional times, such as those of Paul.
2. Here the general rule is given
to avoid fornication--More literally, "on account of fornications," to which as being very prevalent at Corinth, and not even counted sins among the heathen, unmarried persons might be tempted. The plural, "fornications," marks irregular lusts, as contrasted with the unity of the marriage relation [BENGEL].
let every man have--a positive command to all who have not the gift of continency, in fact to the great majority of the world ( 1 Corinthians 7:5 ). The dignity of marriage is set forth by Paul ( Ephesians 5:25-32 ), in the fact that it signifies the mystical union between Christ and the Church.
3, 4. The duty of cohabitation on the part of the married.
due benevolence--The oldest manuscripts read simply, "her due"; that is, the conjugal cohabitation due by the marriage contract (compare 1 Corinthians 7:4 ).
4. A paradox. She hath not power over her body, and yet it is her own. The oneness of body in which marriage places husband and wife explains this. The one complements the other. Neither without the other realizes the perfect ideal of man.
5. Defraud . . . not--namely, of the conjugal duty "due" ( 1 Corinthians 7:3 ; compare the Septuagint, Exodus 21:10 ).
except it be--"unless perchance" [ALFORD].
give yourselves to--literally, "be at leisure for"; be free from interruptions for; namely, on some special "season," as the Greek for "time" means (compare Exodus 19:15 , Joel 2:16 , Zechariah 7:3 ).
fasting and prayer--The oldest manuscripts omit "fasting and"; an interpolation, evidently, of ascetics.
come together--The oldest manuscripts read, "be together," namely, in the regular state of the married.
Satan--who often thrusts in his temptations to unholy thoughts amidst the holiest exercises.
for your incontinency--because of your inability to "contain" ( 1 Corinthians 7:9 ) your natural propensities, which Satan would take advantage of.
6. by permission . . . not of commandment--not by God's permission to me to say it: but, "by way of permission to you, not as a commandment." "This" refers to the directions, 1 Corinthians 7:2-5 .
7. even as I--having tile gift of continence ( Matthew 19:11 Matthew 19:12 ). This wish does not hold good absolutely, else the extension of mankind and of the Church would cease; but relatively to "the present distress" ( 1 Corinthians 7:26 ).
8. to the unmarried--in general, of both sexes ( 1 Corinthians 7:10 1 Corinthians 7:11 ).
and widows--in particular.
even as I--unmarried ( 1 Corinthians 9:5 ).
9. if they cannot contain--that is, "have not continency."
burn--with the secret flame of lust, which lays waste the whole inner man. (Compare AUGUSTINE [Holy Virginity]). The dew of God's grace is needed to stifle the flame, which otherwise would thrust men at last into hell-fire.
10. not I, but the Lord--(Compare 1 Corinthians 7:12 1 Corinthians 7:25 1 Corinthians 7:40 ). In ordinary cases he writes on inspired apostolic authority ( 1 Corinthians 14:37 ); but here on the direct authority of the Lord Himself ( mark 10:11 mark 10:12 ). In both cases alike the things written are inspired by the Spirit of God "but not all for all time, nor all on the primary truths of the faith" [ALFORD].
Let not the wife depart--literally, "be separated from." Probably the separation on either side, whether owing to the husband or to the wife, is forbidden.
11. But and if she depart--or "be separated." If the sin of separation has been committed, that of a new marriage is not to be added ( Matthew 5:32 ).
be reconciled--by appeasing her husband's displeasure, and recovering his good will.
let not . . . husband put away . . . wife--In Matthew 5:32 the only exception allowed is, "saving for the cause of fornication."
12. to the rest--the other classes (besides "the married," 1 Corinthians 7:10 , where both husband and wife are believers) about whom the Corinthians had inquired, namely, those involved in mixed marriages with unbelievers.
not the Lord--by any direct command spoken by Him.
she be pleased--Greek, "consents": implying his wish in the first instance, with which hers concurs.
13. the woman--a believer.
let her not leave him--"her husband," instead of "him," is the reading of the oldest manuscripts The Greek for "leave" is the same as in 1 Corinthians 7:12 , "put away"; translate, "Let her not put away [that is, part with] her husband." The wife had the power of effecting a divorce by Greek and Roman law.
14. sanctified--Those inseparably connected with the people of God are hallowed thereby, so that the latter may retain the connection without impairing their own sanctity (compare 1 Timothy 4:5 ); nay, rather imparting to the former externally some degree of their own hallowed character, and so preparing the way for the unbeliever becoming at last sanctified inwardly by faith.
by . . . by--rather, "in . . . in"; that is, in virtue of the marriage tie between them.
by the husband--The oldest manuscripts read, "by the brother." It is the fact of the husband being a "brother," that is, a Christian, though the wife is not so, that sanctifies or hallows the union.
else . . . children unclean--that is, beyond the hallowed pale of God's people: in contrast to "holy," that is, all that is within the consecrated limits [CONYBEARE and HOWSON]. The phraseology accords with that of the Jews, who regarded the heathen as "unclean," and all of the elect nation as "holy," that is, partakers of the holy covenant. Children were included in the covenant, as God made it not only with Abraham, but with his "seed after" him ( Genesis 17:7 ). So the faith of one Christian parent gives to the children a near relationship to the Church, just as if both parents were Christians (compare Romans 11:16 ). Timothy, the bearer of this Epistle, is an instance in point ( Acts 16:1 ). Paul appeals to the Corinthians as recognizing the principle, that the infants of heathen parents would not be admissible to Christian baptism, because there is no faith on the part of the parents; but where one parent is a believer, the children are regarded as not aliens from, but admissible even in infancy as sharers in, the Christian covenant: for the Church presumes that the believing parent will rear the child in the Christian faith. Infant baptism tacitly superseded infant circumcision, just as the Christian Lord's day gradually superseded the Jewish sabbath, without our having any express command for, or record of, transference. The setting aside of circumcision and of sabbaths in the case of the Gentiles was indeed expressly commanded by the apostles and Paul, but the substitution of infant baptism and of the Lord's day were tacitly adopted, not expressly enacted. No explicit mention of it occurs till IRENÆUS in the third century; but no society of Christians that we read of disputed its propriety till fifteen hundred years after Christ. Anabaptists would have us defer baptism till maturity as the child cannot understand the nature of it. But a child may be made heir of an estate: it is his, though incapable at the time of using or comprehending its advantage; he is not hereafter to acquire the title and claim to it. he will hereafter understand his claim, and be capable of employing his wealth: he will then, moreover, become responsible for the use he makes of it [ARCHBISHOP WHATELY].
15. if . . . depart--that is, wishes for separation. Translate, "separateth himself": offended with her Christianity, and refusing to live with her unless she renounce it.
brother or a sister is not under bondage--is not bound to renounce the faith for the sake of retaining her unbelieving husband [HAMMOND]. So Deuteronomy 13:6 Matthew 10:35-37 Luke 14:26 . The believer does not lie under the same obligation in the case of a union with an unbeliever, as in the case of one with a believer. In the former case he is not bound not to separate, if the unbeliever separate or "depart," in the latter nothing but "fornication" justifies separation [PHOTIUS in Æcumenius].
but God hath called us to peace--Our Christian calling is one that tends to "peace" ( Romans 12:18 ), not quarrelling; therefore the believer should not ordinarily depart from the unbelieving consort ( 1 Corinthians 7:12-14 ), on the one hand; and on the other, in the exceptional case of the unbeliever desiring to depart, the believer is not bound to force the other party to stay in a state of continual discord ( Matthew 5:32 ). Better still it would be not to enter into such unequal alliances at all ( 1 Corinthians 7:40 , 2 Corinthians 6:14 ).
16. What knowest thou but that by staying with thy unbelieving partner thou mayest save him or her? Enforcing the precept to stay with the unbelieving consort ( 1 Corinthians 7:12-14 ). So Ruth the Moabitess became a convert to her husband's faith: and Joseph and Moses probably gained over their wives. So conversely the unbelieving husband may be won by the believing wife ( 1 Peter 3:1 ) [CALVIN]. Or else ( 1 Corinthians 7:15 ), if thy unbelieving consort wishes to depart, let him go, so that thou mayest live "in peace": for thou canst not be sure of converting him, so as to make it obligatory on thee at all costs to stay with him against his will [MENOCHIUS and ALFORD].
save--be the instrument of salvation to ( James 5:20 ).
17. But--Greek, "If not." "Only." Caution that believers should not make this direction ( 1 Corinthians 7:16 ; as ALFORD explains it) a ground for separating "of themselves" ( 1 Corinthians 7:12-14 ). Or, But if there be no hope of gaining over the unbeliever, still let the general principle be maintained, "As the Lord hath allotted to each, as God hath called each, so let him walk" (so the Greek in the oldest reading); let him walk in the path allotted to him and wherein he was called. The heavenly calling does not set aside our earthly callings.
so ordain I in all churches--Ye also therefore should obey.
18. not become uncircumcised--by surgical operation (1 Maccabees 1:15; JOSEPHUS [Antiquities, 12.5.1]). Some Christians in excess of anti-Jewish feeling might be tempted to this.
let him not be circumcised--as the Judaizing Christians would have him ( Acts 15:1 Acts 15:5 Acts 15:24 , Galatians 5:2 ).
19. Circumcision . . . nothing, but . . . keeping of . . . commandments of God--namely, is all in all. In Galatians 5:6 this "keeping of the commandments of God" is defined to be "faith which worketh by love"; and in Galatians 6:15 , "a new creature." Circumcision was a commandment of God: but not for ever, as "love."
20. the same calling--that is, the condition from which he is called a Jew, a Greek, a slave, or a freeman.
21. care not for it--Let it not be a trouble to thee that thou art a servant or slave.
use it rather--Continue rather in thy state as a servant ( 1 Corinthians 7:20 , Galatians 3:28 , 1 Timothy 6:2 ). The Greek, "But if even thou mayest be made free, use it," and the context ( 1 Corinthians 7:20 1 Corinthians 7:22 ) favors this view [CHRYSOSTOM, BENGEL, and ALFORD]. This advice (if this translation be right) is not absolute, as the spirit of the Gospel is against slavery. What is advised here is, contentment under one's existing condition ( 1 Corinthians 7:24 ), though an undesirable one, since in our union with Christ all outward disparities of condition are compensated ( 1 Corinthians 7:22 ). Be not unduly impatient to cast off "even" thy condition as a servant by unlawful means ( 1 Peter 2:13-18 ); as, for example, Onesimus did by fleeing ( Philemon 1:10-18 ). The precept ( 1 Corinthians 7:23 ), "Become not (so the Greek) the servants of men," implies plainly that slavery is abnormal (compare Leviticus 25:42 ). "Men stealers," or slave dealers, are classed in 1 Timothy 1:10 , with "murderers" and "perjurers." NEANDER, GROTIUS, &c., explain, "If called, being a slave, to Christianity, be content--but yet, if also thou canst be free (as a still additional good, which if thou canst not attain, be satisfied without it; but which, if offered to thee, is not to be despised), make use of the opportunity of becoming free, rather than by neglecting it to remain a slave." I prefer this latter view, as more according to the tenor of the Gospel, and fully justified by the Greek.
22. the Lord's freeman--( Philemon 1:16 )--rather, "freedman." Though a slave externally, spiritually made free by the Lord: from sin, John 8:36 ; from the law, Romans 8:2 ; from "circumcision," 1 Corinthians 7:19 , Galatians 5:1 .
Christ's servant--( 1 Corinthians 9:21 ). Love makes Christ's service perfect freedom ( Matthew 11:29 Matthew 11:30 , Galatians 5:13 , 1 Peter 2:16 ).
23. be not ye--Greek, "become not ye." Paul here changes from "thou" ( 1 Corinthians 7:21 ) to "ye." YE ALL are "bought" with the blood of Christ, whatever be your earthly state ( 1 Corinthians 6:20 ). "Become not servants to men," either externally, or spiritually; the former sense applying to the free alone: the latter to Christian freemen and slaves alike, that they should not be servile adherents to their party leaders at Corinth ( 1 Corinthians 3:21 1 Corinthians 3:22 , Matthew 23:8-10 , 2 Corinthians 11:20 ); nor indeed slaves to men generally, so far as their condition admits. The external and internal conditions, so far as is attainable, should correspond, and the former be subservient to the latter (compare 1 Corinthians 7:21 1 Corinthians 7:32-35 ).
24. abide with God--being chiefly careful of the footing on which he stands towards God rather than that towards men. This clause, "with God," limits the similar precept in 1 Corinthians 7:20 . A man may cease to "abide in the calling wherein he was called," and yet not violate the precept here. If a man's calling be not favorable to his "abiding with God" (retaining holy fellowship with Him), he may use lawful means to change from it (compare Note,
25. no commandment of the Lord: yet . . . my judgment--I have no express revelation from the Lord commanding it, but I give my judgment (opinion); namely, under the ordinary inspiration which accompanied the apostles in all their canonical writings (compare 1 Corinthians 7:40 , 1 Corinthians 14:37 , 1 Thessalonians 4:15 ). The Lord inspires me in this case to give you only a recommendation, which you are free to adopt or reject--not a positive command. In the second case ( 1 Corinthians 7:10 1 Corinthians 7:11 ) it was a positive command; for the Lord had already made known His will ( Malachi 2:14 Malachi 2:15 , Matthew 5:31 Matthew 5:32 ). In the third case ( 1 Corinthians 7:12 ), the Old Testament commandment of God to put away strange wives ( Ezra 10:3 ), Paul by the Spirit revokes.
mercy of the Lord--( 1 Timothy 1:13 ). He attributes his apostleship and the gifts accompanying it (including inspiration) to God's grace alone.
faithful--in dispensing to you the inspired directions received by me from the Lord.
26. I suppose--"I consider."
this--namely, "for a man so to be," that is, in the same state in which he is ( 1 Corinthians 7:27 ).
for--by reason of.
the present distress--the distresses to which believers were then beginning to be subjected, making the married state less desirable than the single; and which would prevail throughout the world before the destruction of Jerusalem, according to Christ's prophecy ( Matthew 24:8-21 ; compare Acts 11:28 ).
27. Illustrating the meaning of "so to be," 1 Corinthians 7:26 . Neither the married (those "bound to a wife") nor the unmarried (those "loosed from a wife") are to "seek" a change of state (compare 1 Corinthians 7:20 1 Corinthians 7:24 ).
28. trouble in the flesh--Those who marry, he says, shall incur "trouble in the flesh" (that is, in their outward state, by reason of the present distress), not sin, which is the trouble of the spirit.
but I spare you--The emphasis in the Greek is on "I." My motive in advising you so is, to "spare you" such trouble in the flesh. So ALFORD after CALVIN, BENGEL, and others. ESTIUS from AUGUSTINE explains it, "I spare you further details of the inconveniences of matrimony, lest even the incontinent may at the peril of lust be deterred from matrimony: thus I have regard for your infirmity." The antithesis in the Greek of "I . . . you" and "such" favors the former.
29. this I say--A summing up of the whole, wherein he draws the practical inference from what precedes ( 1 Corinthians 15:50 ).
the time--the season (so the Greek) of this present dispensation up to the coming of the Lord ( Romans 13:11 ). He uses the Greek expression which the Lord used in Luke 21:8 , 13:33 .
short--literally, "contracted."
it remaineth--The oldest manuscripts read, "The time (season) is shortened as to what remains, in order that both they," &c.; that is, the effect which the shortening of the time ought to have is, "that for the remaining time (henceforth), both they," &c. The clause, "as to what remains," though in construction belonging to the previous clause, in sense belongs to the following. However, CYPRIAN and Vulgate support English Version.
as though they had none--We ought to consider nothing as our own in real or permanent possession.
30. they that weep . . . wept not--(Compare 2 Corinthians 6:10 ).
they that buy . . . possessed not--(Compare Isaiah 24:1 Isaiah 24:2 ). Christ specifies as the condemning sin of the men of Sodom not merely their open profligacy, but that "they bought, they sold," &c., as men whose all was in this world ( Luke 17:28 ). "Possessed" in the Greek implies a holding fast of a possession; this the Christian will not do, for his "enduring substance" is elsewhere ( Hebrews 10:34 ).
31. not abusing it--not abusing it by an overmuch using of it. The meaning of "abusing" here is, not so much perverting, as using it to the full [BENGEL]. We are to use it, "not to take our fill" of its pursuits as our chief aim (compare Luke 10:40-42 ). As the planets while turning on their own axis, yet revolve round the sun; so while we do our part in our own worldly sphere, God is to be the center of all our desires.
fashion--the present fleeting form. Compare Psalms 39:6 , "vain show"; Psalms 73:20 , "a dream"; James 4:14 , "a vapor."
passeth away--not merely shall pass away, but is now actually passing away. The image is drawn from a shifting scene in a play represented on the stage ( 1 John 2:17 ). Paul inculcates not so much the outward denial of earthly things, as the inward spirit whereby the married and the rich, as well as the unmarried and the poor, would be ready to sacrifice all for Christ's sake.
32. without carefulness--I would have you to be not merely "without trouble," but "without distracting cares" (so the Greek).
careth--if he uses aright the advantages of his condition.
34. difference also--Not merely the unmarried and the married man differ in their respective duties, but also the wife and the virgin. Indeed a woman undergoes a greater change of condition than a man in contracting marriage.
35. for your own profit--not to display my apostolic authority.
not . . . cast a snare upon you--image from throwing a noose over an animal in hunting. Not that by hard injunctions I may entangle you with the fear of committing sin where there is no sin.
comely--befitting under present circumstances.
attend upon--literally, "assiduously wait on"; sitting down to the duty. Compare Luke 10:39 , Mary; Luke 2:37 , "Anna . . . a widow, who departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day" ( 1 Timothy 5:5 ).
distraction--the same Greek as "cumbered" ( Luke 10:40 , Martha).
36. behaveth . . . uncomely--is not treating his daughter well in leaving her unmarried beyond the flower of her age, and thus debarring her from the lawful gratification of her natural feeling as a marriageable woman.
need so require--if the exigencies of the case require it; namely, regard to the feelings and welfare of his daughter. Opposed to "having no necessity" ( 1 Corinthians 7:37 ).
let them marry--the daughter and her suitor.
37. steadfast--not to be turned from his purpose by the obloquy of the world.
having no necessity--arising from the natural inclinations of the daughter.
power over his . . . will--when, owing to his daughter's will not opposing his will, he has power to carry into effect his will or wish.
38. her--The oldest manuscripts have "his own virgin daughter."
but--The oldest manuscripts have "and."
39. bound by the law--The oldest manuscripts omit "by the law."
only in the Lord--Let her marry only a Christian ( 2 Corinthians 6:14 ).
40. happier--( 1 Corinthians 7:1 1 Corinthians 7:28 1 Corinthians 7:34 1 Corinthians 7:35 ).
I think also--"I also think"; just as you Corinthians and your teachers think much of your opinions, so I also give my opinion by inspiration; so in 1 Corinthians 7:25 , "my judgment" or opinion. Think does not imply doubt, but often a matter of well-grounded assurance ( John 5:39 ).

The past few days (have had my Hopper since Nov 9) all of a sudden, after a few hours of usage, any DVR recordings I start to play or if I pause any live tv and then start to reply or resume, the resulting play is full of skips, jerky, loss of sound, recorded content--really unwatchable. So all I can do is watch live TV.
Also, when I do a reset, after the normal Startup, it reports that it recognized the "network", it ends with a gray box with Attention 015--acquiring satellite signal--click on "details" and then I see Sat --yesterday it was 129, today it shows 119 and transponder 21 5 out of 5 and it just sticks here indefinitely. I can get rid of the box by clicking on Guide or DVR. I can then view DVR or paused live tv replays, but only for a short while and then it goes back to skipping, stuttering, etc and so no DVR.
Called CSR and they said to have a DISH technician--scheduled that and he called and we agreed he couldn't see much else he could do except replace the Hopper--HORRIBLE--I am then forced to buy a $99 EHD to try to preserve my recordings to transfer to the next Hopper. We have 2 Hoppers and this is not happening to the 2nd Hopper, so eliminates the DISH.
Also switched the Node inputs (Host) for both Hoppers. Makes no difference, so if this is the Hopper gone bad after only 2 months, I AM NOT HAPPY!
Also this Hopper has the OTA Usb dongle and broadband ethernet.
Any ideas?
In another forum or topic thread, I read that someone with a similar problem pulled the power for a longer period of time than 10 secs, so I did that yesterday--for about 20 minutes. So far, today, have played back all DVR recordings and resumed paused live tv WITHOUT ANY SKIPS or stuttering or stopping.
HOWEVER, the 2nd Hopper we have has some new issues:
It has been randomly "rebooting" to a "Acquiring Satellite Signal" and Error 004 and you cannot get to live tv--you can get the Guide, but clicking on a program does not allow you to see Live TV OR any DVR recordings.
We did a "Check Switch" from this 2nd Hopper and here's the message from Settings/Diagnostics/System Status: "LNB Drift Detetcted Ox12, Oxa1, 119 (e-14).
We will schedule DISH technician appointment to take a look at this problem--either DISH LNB or software or both. I do not get this message or problem on Hooper 1--only on 2nd Hopper in Kitchen????
Again, why so many opinions on how long to unplug from power--I tried 3 times to unplug only for 10 secs, but it was the last unplug for 20 minutes that has, so far, corrected the DVR or resume from pause of live tv jumpy playback and hopefully saved my Hopper from being replaced!
Hooray for these forums--I tried the DISH forum, this and one other forum and hope one of your "DISH" employees can comment on this????

Sophie Conran Celadon Small Footed Bowl
About PortmeirionStrikingly beautiful, eminently practical, refreshingly affordable. These are the enduring values bequeathed to Portmeirion by its legendary co-founder and designer, Susan Williams-Ellis. Her father, architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, was the designer of Portmeirion, the North Wales village whose fanciful architecture has drawn tourists and artists from around the world (including the creators of the classic 1960s TV show The Prisoner). Inspired by her fine arts training and creation of ceramic gifts for the village's gift shop, Susan Williams-Ellis (along with her husband Euan Cooper-Willis) founded Portmeirion Pottery in 1960. After 50+ years of innovation, the Portmeirion Group is not only an icon of British design, but also a testament to the extraordinarily creative life of Susan Williams-Ellis.The style of Portmeirion dinnerware and serveware is marked by a passion for both pottery manufacturing and trend-setting design. Beautiful, tactile, nature-inspired patterns are a defining quality of Portmeirion housewares, from its world-renowned botanical designs modeled on antiquarian books to the breezy, natural colors of its porcelain and earthenware. Today, the Portmeirion Group's design legacy continues to evolve, through iconic brands such as Spode, the Pomona Classics collection, and the award-winning collaboration of Sophie Conran for Portmeirion. Sophie Conran for Portmeirion:Successful collaborations have provided design inspiration throughout Sophie Conran's life. Her father, designer Sir Terence Conran, and mother, food writer Caroline Conran, have been the pillars of her eclectic mix of cooking, writing, and interior design. In pairing with the iconic British housewares brand Portmeirion, Conran has created another successful collaboration: Sophie Conran for Portmeirion, an award-winning collection of dinnerware, serveware, and drinkware for the practical, multi-functional needs of contemporary kitchens.Launched in 2006, Sophie Conran for Portmeirion immediately received the Elle Deco Style Award for Best in Kitchens, and two years later, the House Beautiful Award for Best in Tableware. The soulful, tactile beauty of these oven-to-tableware pieces is exemplified by rippled surfaces and edges that evoke a potter's hand. This down-to-earth style is complemented by charming pastels, gentle earth tones, and classic whites and pinks, for a collection that will lighten and enliven contemporary kitchen decors. Though delicate to the eye and touch, these plates and bowls are built for durable performance, with microwave- and dishwasher-safe porcelain that's casual enough for breakfast and elegant enough for eye-catching dinners.
