Premier product - this product is not eligible for any discounts off the purchase price.
We rode 7 hours one day up and down hills with 8 horses in the Badlands at Medora ND the only horse that was not cinch sore the next day was the one with a airflex cinch. The horse seems to be more comfortable too. I never roped with one so I can not rate it for roping, but in trail and barrel racing they get 5 stars. They are size specific if it is to long or short they do not work. So if you ride different size horses you will have to own more than one size.

At a command from the captain, the Joliet Junior College freshman culinary arts students will file out with the first course of the 2013 Spring Gala, stand behind the patron's chair and wait for the second command.
When that is given, the students will serve the course in a synchronous and elegant manner. They then will return to the kitchen, organize the glassware for the next course, return to remove the dishes and silverware and reset the place settings. The following scenario will be repeated for the remaining courses.
This is not the Spring Gala of past years.
Instead of the traditional banquet atmosphere — round tables with multiple place settings and floral centerpieces — this year's benefit gala features Escoffier-style seating: one long U-shaped table with seating for 160 people, reminiscent of the formal dinners of royalty from ages past.
"Usually you have the same eight people talking to each other with the next banquet table being 10 feet away," said Chef Michael McGreal, culinary arts/hospitality management department chairman at Joliet Junior College. "This year, everyone will be sitting at this large community table. This allows them to visit with the people around them."
Escoffier-style seating also makes it easier for McGreal to engage in conversation with all the gala's patrons. He compares the difference to a wedding reception. As much as the bride and groom try to make the rounds and chat with every guest, it's difficult to do when tables are grouped.
"While I'm talking with several people, those next to them can listen and mingle, too," McGreal said. "There will be a greater sense of sharing."
Following original, themed appetizers prepared by the culinary arts students, the six-course dinner will feature salmon and Alaskan crab, wild game consommé printanier a la royale, local field greens with chive dijon vinaigrette, red currant, ribeye of beef and chocolate and raspberry charlotte royal and amaretto ice cream.
Three captains will be giving the commands: culinary arts adjunct professor Eric Bell, Joliet Junior College supervisor and wedding planner Susan Stockwell and culinary arts student and competition team member Amy Gutierrez.
Instead of two wines — a white and red — four total will be served at the gala to allow for a greater wine-pairing experience. Assisting culinary arts professor Chef Timothy Bucci is a member of JJC's award-winning culinary competition team, which recently earned a high gold medal at the state competition and will compete at the regional event April 28-May 1 in Arkansas.
Also gone this year are individual ice carvings. Replacing them is one giant, three-quarter-ton display that the ice carving students will create in precision-carved sections and then assemble and balance in the dining area.
"This takes our ice carving to a whole new level," McGreal said.
Seventy-five percent of gala proceeds will be allocated toward student scholarships ($500 to $1,000 each), educational equipment purchases and/or faculty professional development and skill enhancement activities. Students will be awarded scholarships at the gala.
"In some way, all funds come back to the students," McGreal said.

A ledger book and journal
Ledger books have long accounted for much of the world's history, from John Hancock's purchases to Harry Truman's school records. This ledger-style journal is the new-century version, with ruled pages with an annotation margin to sum up or highlight each page's notes.
Here's what Gail Godwin, award-winning novelist, essayist and inveterate journaler, has to say about it: "I love the numbered pages, the heft of it, and the right-page margin on the right side. In my praise for how useful it was, I forgot to mention how beautiful it was: the cover, the gold edging, the bookmark. I am christening it by beginning my next novel in it."
Sturdy canvas-covered hardcover
200 ruled and numbered pages, sewn in for greater strength and durability
Lie-flat binding makes it easier to write in
Acid-free, 100-gsm ruled cream paper with gilded edges
7 5/8W x 10 3/4H
Customize with your logo. Corporate pricing available. Please call 800-357-9991.

Legacy quality
Just what I was looking for. Look is elegant and construction is high quality assuring that the ledger will endure for generations. Wish the personalization were larger and more durable as mine is already fading with only 1 month use.

Great Author's Journal
I am a Thriller Writer and one of those who prefers to write creatively in longhand. The Ledgerdomain Journal has just the right dimensions and page count (~200) for my writing. Fill two of these in long hand and I've got got a first draft of my novel! I have used lined accounting journals before, but the Ledgerdomain is a little more upscale and just right.

exactly what I wanted as a gift for my journal keeping/author wife. thank you
December 4, 2014
Instant Heirloom
Quality surrounds every facet of this journal. Simple and timeless, this journal gives the writer the experience of an era far removed from today.
September 12, 2014
Perfect Journal
Compact. Neat. Inspiring. I anticipate the joy of reading the forthcoming short stories that the sturdy covers will hold. The recipient was delighted with this small, "right" gift!
August 7, 2014
Weel-received gift
My associate called me upon receiving this journal as a gift and while he was touched by the gesture his comments about the product could not go unnoticed. He was impressed with the beauty of the book, the quality, the detail of the monogram - all inspiring him to put it to good use. Having purchased Levenger items for myself and many as gifts, I trust in the quality of the product and feel confident that it will be presented in a way reflective of your style and mine!
July 24, 2014
A great gift idea
I purchased this journal as a gift for a friend who writes when she travels, which is often. She is thrilled with this product. It is monogrammed, sturdy, and looks very classy. I'll be ordering one for myself soon!
March 15, 2014
Great Tool
I manage a number of clients and keep detailed notes. To keep details for each client confidential, I maintain a journal for each client. This keeps my notes concise and easy to find. Including my initials on the cover adds the level of professionalism that a want to exhibit for my clients.

Exactly What I Was Looking For
Not long ago, I saw a 5-year journal in a shop, and, while I liked the idea, I didn't like that particular journal. Thankfully, there's the internet. After a little shopping around online, I found this site, and this journal. I'll admit, i was a little hesitant about the price -- not that $30 seems unreasonable, just that $30 without seeing it first, feeling it, holding it -- well, I had to think about it. Over the next few days, I kept returning to look at it, and, after reading other reviews, I decided to give it a try. I am very pleased with the journal, though, for some reason I was expecting it to be larger. I'd seen the dimensions listed, but, still, was expecting it to be a bit larger. But, it isn't a big deal. The size is standard journal size -- smaller than a hardcover book, more like a large-sized trade paperback. It's a good size to carry with you. The pages are a nice thickness: the ink doesn't show through (I just use a ball-point), and having used fountain pens in the past, I think the ink wouldn't show through if you used a fountain pen. The binding is superb -- sewn well, yet lays flat for easy writing. The attached ribbon bookmark is a nice feature. The only negative would be the lack of color choices -- there are no choices. It's just a neutral brownish-grey. It's not bad, But, I'd like a nice, rich blue. I liked it so much, that I ordered another one, just to be sure I'd have one 5 years from now when this one is filled.

Phenomenal gilded edges makes for beautiful piece
This is a phenomenal use. Of blank space. As a ledger, there could be none more pure. The thick paper, with its gilded edges makes it just a beautiful piece. The personalization of it, made it even more of a special item with intrinsic value. I own dozens of levenger items and most are made to be with you for as long as you are willing to use it, a lifetime if necessary, even longer in some cases. There have been a lot to inherit levenger items, or more so than most would think. They just tend to build products that can last a hundred years and more. If I did not have the personalization, I would include pictures, otherwise, just a beautiful piece. Could not say it enough!

Theater Review
Sunset Playhouse rounds out its season with a fair amount of classy retro style in its production of the 1955 Broadway musical Damn Yankees. Robert Zimmerman plays baseball fan Joe Boyd—a man obsessed with seeing the Washington Senators beat the Yankees to win the pennant that he's willing to risk losing his soul to the devil. William Jackson plays the devil here in a standout performance. A towering gentleman with a pencil-thin physique, Jackson cuts an almost surreal figure in the role of the impeccably dressed Satan. Jackson has impressive talent that's been honed through many years onstage, giving the classic villain more than enough personality to drive the story's central conflict.

Origin of TRUST
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)In law, a relationship between parties in which one, the trustee or fiduciary, has the power to manage property, and the other, the beneficiary, has the privilege of receiving the benefits from that property. Trusts are used in a variety of contexts, most notably in family settlements and in charitable gifts. The traditional requirements of a trust are a named beneficiary and trustee, an identified property (constituting the principal of the trust), and delivery of the property to the trustee with the intent to create a trust. Trusts are often created for the sake of advantageous tax treatment (including exemption). A charitable trust, unlike most trusts, does not require definite beneficiaries and may exist in perpetuity. See also trust company.

The murder was reportedly committed in the early morning hours of New Year's Day 2012.
Trial had been delayed recently due to a mental evaluation not being completed.
Russell Brown is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Harold Lee Montgomery, 39. Brown was 35 at the time of the incident.
According to court officials, the state didn't have adequate time to complete a mental evaluation and the trial was delayed in March.
Assistant District Attorney General Stephen Hatchett said the trial is set to begin next week after jury selection is made.
Montgomery was reportedly stabbed to death at the Days Inn, located on Georgetown Road.
Brown was established as a suspect in the case after Cleveland Police Department investigators learned the two men had rented a room at the motel.
According to the investigation, Brown reportedly set the room on fire and fled the scene.
Preliminary autopsy results indicated Montgomery died of multiple stab wounds and not smoke inhalation. Montgomery's body was found in the burning motel room New Year's Day just after 7 a.m.
Brown and Montgomery had reportedly celebrated New Year's at Brown's apartment the night before, leaving to get alcohol and drugs, then going to the motel room.
The two men were also celebrating Brown's birthday, which was New Year's Eve, according to investigator's reports.
The Cleveland Fire Department was notified of a fire around 7 a.m. at the motel and when firefighters arrived, they dragged Montgomery out of the burning room and discovered he was already dead.
After learning Brown could be a possible suspect in the death, detectives released information about his identifying characteristics and about the car he was apparently driving.
Montgomery's 1995 Volkswagen Cabriolet was missing from the motel parking lot, according to early reports. Brown was named a "person of interest" in the homicide.
Detectives learned the men had known each other since childhood and met on occasion for sexual relations, according to reports.
Richard Hughes of the Public Defender's Office is the defending attorney in chief.
Hatchett will be prosecuting the case for the state of Tennessee.

"I think we need to get our message out to consumers when the Florida berries are available. Hopefully, consumers will help drive that demand for chain stores to purchase more Florida berries because most consumers would prefer the domestic product."
As grower opinions are diverse, Campbell said he's not sure what the industry plans to do to influence that change.
He's looking for increased marketing but said it's ultimately up to growers to decide how they want to invest their resources.
One thing's for sure, they don't want a long and protracted trade war that wouldn't likely benefit either side.

Super-feminine, Flattering and Comfortable
I purchased this skirt in black in-store today, and I absolutely love it. It is beautiful, feminine, flattering, made my hips and legs look slimmer and was incredibly comfortable. I bought an XXS. I am 122 pounds, with 36.5 inch hips. Usually I take extra-small, or a small, but with this skirt the XXS felt perfect. One small warning, the under layer could potentially ride up. The blue one was beautiful too-a very pretty deep blue. Hope this is helpful to someone.
May 10, 2013
Great Cut
I got this in the blue and I absolutely love it. The criss-cross cut is flattering and it comes lined. I love that this skirt can be dressed up or down. I am 5'1, small waist and went with the XS. Fits true to size. If I wear heels it does not drag on the floor. I'm going to order the pink as well, after seeing the new add campaign.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 5
Rated 5 out of 5 by ShaktiMeli Very High Quality & Comfy!
This was very heavy and I was surprised at the quality. These days, even if something costs a lot it doesn't necessarily deliver quality. But this did. It is very thick and has a strong inner liner. I'm using this to cover the Gaiam exercise ball at work, so I needed a cover to make it comfortable and attractive. I work for an architecture & interior design firm and wanted to have something nice looking for my office. This is comfortable and nice to look at.
I think this would be fabulous to have as a birthing ball cover. I gave birth naturally and would have loved to drape myself over this during labor. But if I was a doula, midwife, or just someone who is thinking about having a home birth, I would invest in something like this! I can also see this as a nice piece to have at home to sit on and have for the kids to play on.
I put a picture of this on all my social media sites and have gotten a lot of compliments and also a lot of people who never realized there was such a thing as an exercise ball cover! A few friends said they are going to buy one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kbdk Brilliant Idea
This is a brilliant product and the workmanship and execution of the design is so lovely. Being able to afford such an item is a blessing, and I'm happy to support a company that justly passes to the consumer the true and transparent cost of a luxury item made by workers paid fairly for their craft using quality materials that are quality and therefore not cheap.

I love the feel as well as the look of this balance ball cover. Though a bit pricey, I enjoy it enough to be ordering a second one.
May 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by hippiechic6 Beautiful, modern, small
This ball cover is gorgeous & of substantial weight. The only problem is that it doesn't fit a 65 cm ball -- we ended up getting a second one that was also too small and then we bought a smaller ball (55 cm). It's a little big for it but a much better fit than the 65 cm.

I get lots of compliments on this cover. It turns my balance ball into modern furniture. Let's face it, however, it is not cheap! Still, it's one of my favorite things.

The apostle's earnest desire for the salvation of the Jews. (1-4) The difference between the righteousness of the law, and the righteousness of faith. (5-11) The Gentiles stand on a level with the Jews, in justification and salvation. (12-17) The Jews might know this from Old Testament prophecies. (18-21)
Verses 1-4 The Jews built on a false foundation, and refused to come to Christ for free salvation by faith, and numbers in every age do the same in various ways. The strictness of the law showed men their need of salvation by grace, through faith. And the ceremonies shadowed forth Christ as fulfilling the righteousness, and bearing the curse of the law. So that even under the law, all who were justified before God, obtained that blessing by faith, whereby they were made partakers of the perfect righteousness of the promised Redeemer. The law is not destroyed, nor the intention of the Lawgiver disappointed; but full satisfaction being made by the death of Christ for our breach of the law, the end is gained. That is, Christ has fulfilled the whole law, therefore whoever believeth in him, is counted just before God, as much as though he had fulfilled the whole law himself. Sinners never could go on in vain fancies of their own righteousness, if they knew the justice of God as a Governor, or his righteousness as a Saviour.
Verses 5-11 The self-condemned sinner need not perplex himself how this righteousness may be found. When we speak of looking upon Christ, and receiving, and feeding upon him, it is not Christ in heaven, nor Christ in the deep, that we mean; but Christ in the promise, Christ offered in the word. Justification by faith in Christ is a plain doctrine. It is brought before the mind and heart of every one, thus leaving him without excuse for unbelief. If a man confessed faith in Jesus, as the Lord and Saviour of lost sinners, and really believed in his heart that God had raised him from the dead, thus showing that he had accepted the atonement, he should be saved by the righteousness of Christ, imputed to him through faith. But no faith is justifying which is not powerful in sanctifying the heart, and regulating all its affections by the love of Christ. We must devote and give up to God our souls and our bodies: our souls in believing with the heart, and our bodies in confessing with the mouth. The believer shall never have cause to repent his confident trust in the Lord Jesus. Of such faith no sinner shall be ashamed before God; and he ought to glory in it before men.
Verses 12-17 There is not one God to the Jews, more kind, and another to the Gentiles, who is less kind; the Lord is a Father to all men. The promise is the same to all, who call on the name of the Lord Jesus as the Son of God, as God manifest in the flesh. All believers thus call upon the Lord Jesus, and none else will do so humbly or sincerely. But how should any call on the Lord Jesus, the Divine Saviour, who had not heard of him? And what is the life of a Christian but a life of prayer? It shows that we feel our dependence on him, and are ready to give up ourselves to him, and have a believing expectation of our all from him. It was necessary that the gospel should be preached to the Gentiles. Somebody must show them what they are to believe. How welcome the gospel ought to be to those to whom it was preached! The gospel is given, not only to be known and believed, but to be obeyed. It is not a system of notions, but a rule of practice. The beginning, progress, and strength of faith is by hearing. But it is only hearing the word, as the word of God that will strengthen faith.
Verses 18-21 Did not the Jews know that the Gentiles were to be called in? They might have known it from Moses and Isaiah. Isaiah speaks plainly of the grace and favour of God, as going before in the receiving of the Gentiles. Was not this our own case? Did not God begin in love, and make himself known to us when we did not ask after him? The patience of God towards provoking sinners is wonderful. The time of God's patience is called a day, light as day, and fit for work and business; but limited as a day, and there is a night at the end of it. God's patience makes man's disobedience worse, and renders that the more sinful. We may wonder at the mercy of God, that his goodness is not overcome by man's badness; we may wonder at the wickedness of man, that his badness is not overcome by God's goodness. And it is a matter of joy to think that God has sent the message of grace to so many millions, by the wide spread of his gospel.
Romans 10:1-21 . SAME SUBJECT CONTINUED--HOW ISRAEL CAME TO MISS SALVATION, AND THE GENTILES TO FIND IT.
1. Brethren, my heart's desire--The word here expresses "entire complacency," that in which the heart would experience full satisfaction.
and prayer--"supplication."
to God for Israel--"for them" is the true reading; the subject being continued from the close of the preceding chapter.
is, that they may be saved--"for their salvation." Having before poured forth the anguish of his soul at the general unbelief of his nation and its dreadful consequences ( Romans 9:1-3 ), he here expresses in the most emphatic terms his desire and prayer for their salvation.
2. For I bear them record--or, "witness," as he well could from his own sad experience.
that they have a zeal of--"for"
God, but not according to knowledge--(Compare Acts 22:3 , 26:9-11 , Galatians 1:13 Galatians 1:14 ). He alludes to this well-meaning of his people, notwithstanding their spiritual blindness, not certainly to excuse their rejection of Christ and rage against His saints, but as some ground of hope regarding them. (See 1 Timothy 1:13 ).
3. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness--that is, for the justification of the guilty
and going about--"seeking"
to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God--The apostle views the general rejection of Christ by the nation as one act.
4. For Christ is the end--the object or aim.
of the law for--justifying
righteousness to every one that believeth--that is, contains within Himself all that the law demands for the justification of such as embrace Him, whether Jew or Gentile ( Galatians 3:24 ).
5-10. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man that doeth--"hath done"
those things--which it commands.
shall live in them--( Leviticus 18:5 ). This is the one way of justification and life--by "the righteousness which is of (or, by our own obedience to) the law."
6. But the--justifying
righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise--"speaketh thus"--its language or import is to this effect (quoting in substance Deuteronomy 30:13 Deuteronomy 30:14 ).
Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down, &c.--that is, "Ye have not to sigh over the impossibility of attaining to justification; as if one should say, oh! if I could but get someone to mount up to heaven and fetch me down Christ, there might be some hope, but since that cannot be, mine is a desperate case."
7. Or, Who shall descend, &c.--another case of impossibility, suggested by Proverbs 30:4 , and perhaps also Amos 9:2 --probably proverbial expressions of impossibility (compare Psalms 139:7-10 , Proverbs 24:7 , &c.).
8. But what saith it? It saith--continuing the quotation from Deuteronomy 30:14 .
The word is nigh thee--easily accessible.
in thy mouth--when thou confessest Him.
and in thine heart--when thou believest on Him. Though it is of the law which Moses more immediately speaks in the passage quoted, yet it is of the law as Israel shall be brought to look upon it when the Lord their God shall circumcise their heart "to love the Lord their God with all their heart" ( Romans 10:6 ); and thus, in applying it, the apostle (as OLSHAUSEN truly observes) is not merely appropriating the language of Moses, but keeping in the line of his deeper thought.
that is, the word of faith, which we preach--that is, the word which men have to believe for salvation (compare 1 Timothy 4:6 ).
9. That if thou shalt, &c.--So understanding the words, the apostle is here giving the language of the true method of justification; and this sense we prefer (with CALVIN, BEZA, FERME, LOCKE, JOWETT). But able interpreters render the words, "For," or "Because if thou shalt," &c. [Vulgate, LUTHER, DE WETTE, STUART, PHILIPPI, ALFORD, Revised Version]. In this case, these are the apostle's own remarks, confirming the foregoing statements as to the simplicity of the gospel method of salvation.
confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus--that is, probably, "If thou shalt confess Jesus [to be] the Lord," which is the proper manifestation or evidence of faith ( Matthew 10:32 , 1 John 4:15 ). This is put first merely to correspond with the foregoing quotation--"in thy mouth and in thine heart." So in 1 Peter 1:10 the "calling of believers" is put before their "election," as that which is first "made sure," although in point of time it comes after it.
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised--"that God raised"
him from the dead, Romans 10:10 the two things are placed in their natural order.
10. For with the heart man believeth unto--justifying
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation--This confession of Christ's name, especially in times of persecution, and whenever obloquy is attached to the Christian profession, is an indispensable test of discipleship.
11-13. For the scripture saith--in Isaiah 28:16 , a glorious Messianic passage.
Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed--Here, as in Romans 9:33 , the quotation is from the Septuagint, which renders those words of the original, "shall not make haste" (that is, fly for escape, as from conscious danger), "shall not be put to shame," which comes to the same thing.
12. For there is no difference--or "distinction"
between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord over all--that is, not God (as CALVIN, GROTIUS, OLSHAUSEN, HODGE), but Christ, as will be seen, we think, by comparing Romans 10:9 Romans 10:12 Romans 10:13 and observing the apostle's usual style on such subjects. (So CHRYSOSTOM, MELVILLE, BENGEL, MEYER, DE WETTE, FRITZSCHE, THOLUCK, STUART, ALFORD, PHILIPPI).
is rich--a favorite Pauline term to express the exuberance of that saving grace which is in Christ Jesus.
unto all that call upon him--This confirms the application of the preceding words to Christ; since to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus is a customary expression. (See Acts 7:59 Acts 7:60 , Acts 9:14 Acts 9:21 , 22:16 , 1 Corinthians 1:2 , 2 Timothy 2:22 ).
13. For--saith the scripture
whosoever--The expression is emphatic, "Everyone whosoever"
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved--( Joel 2:32 ); quoted also by Peter, in his great Pentecostal sermon ( Acts 2:21 ), with evident application to Christ.
14, 15. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and . . . believe in him of whom they have not heard? and . . . hear without a preacher? and . . . preach except . . . sent?--that is, "True, the same Lord over all is rich unto all alike that call upon Him. But this calling implies believing, and believing hearing, and hearing preaching, and preaching a mission to preach: Why, then, take ye it so ill, O children of Abraham, that in obedience to our heavenly mission ( Acts 26:16-18 ) we preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ?"
15. as it is written--( Isaiah 52:7 ).
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, &c.--The whole chapter of Isaiah from which this is taken, and the three that follow, are so richly Messianic, that there can be no doubt "the glad tidings" there spoken of announce a more glorious release than of Judah from the Babylonish captivity, and the very feet of its preachers are called "beautiful" for the sake of their message.
16, 17. But they have not all obeyed the gospel--that is, the Scripture hath prepared us to expect this sad result.
For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?--that is,"Where shall one find a believer?" The prophet speaks as if next to none would believe: The apostle softens this into "They have not all believed."
17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God--"This is another confirmation of the truth that faith supposes the hearing of the Word, and this a commission to preach it."
18. But I say, Have they not heard?--"Did they not hear?" Can Israel, through any region of his dispersion, plead ignorance of these glad tidings?
Yes, verily, their sound went--"their voice went out"
into all the earth, and their words unto the end of the world--These beautiful words are from Psalms 19:4 . Whether the apostle quoted them as in their primary intention applicable to his subject (as OLSHAUSEN, ALFORD, &c.), or only "used scriptural language to express his own ideas, as is done involuntarily almost by every preacher in every sermon" [HODGE], expositors are not agreed. But though the latter may seem the more natural since "the rising of the Sun of righteousness upon the world" ( Malachi 4:2 ), "the Dayspring from on high visiting us, giving light to them that sat in darkness, and guiding our feet into the way of peace" ( Luke 1:78 Luke 1:79 ), must have been familiar and delightful to the apostle's ear, we cannot doubt that the irradiation of the world with the beams of a better Sun by the universal diffusion of the Gospel of Christ, must have a mode of speaking quite natural, and to him scarcely figurative.
19. But I say, Did not Israel know?--know, from their own Scriptures, of God's intention to bring in the Gentiles?
First--that is First in the prophetic line [DE WETTE].
Moses saith, &c.--"I will provoke you to jealousy ('against') [them that are] not a nation, and against a nation without understanding will I anger you" ( Deuteronomy 32:21 ). In this verse God warns His ancient people that because they had (that is, in aftertimes would) moved Him to jealousy with their "no-gods," and provoked Him to anger with their vanities, He in requital would move them to jealousy by receiving into His favor a "no-people," and provoke them to anger by adopting a nation void of understanding.
20. But Esaias is very bold, and saith--that is, is still plainer, and goes even the length of saying.
I was found of them that sought me not--until I sought them.
I was made--"became"
manifest unto them that asked not after me--until the invitation from Me came to them. That the calling of the Gentiles was meant by these words of the prophet ( Isaiah 65:1 ) is manifest from what immediately follows, "I said, Behold Me, behold Me, unto a nation that was not called by My name."
21. But to--rather, "with regard to"
Israel he saith, All day--"All the day"
long I have stretched out my hands--"did I stretch forth"
my hands--the attitude of gracious entreaty.
unto a disobedient and gainsaying people--These words, which immediately follow the announcement just quoted of the calling of the Gentiles, were enough to forewarn the Jews both of God's purpose to eject them from their privileges, in favor of the Gentiles, and of the cause of it on their own part.
Note, (1) Mere sincerity, and even earnestness in religion--though it may be some ground of hope for a merciful recovery from error--is no excuse, and will not compensate, for the deliberate rejection of saving truth, when in the providence of God presented for acceptance ( Romans 10:1-3 ; and (2) The true cause of such rejection of saving truth, by the otherwise sincere, is the prepossession of the mind by some false notions of its own. So long as the Jews "sought to set up their own righteousness," it was in the nature of things impossible that they should "submit themselves to the righteousness of God"; the one of these two methods of acceptance being in the teeth of the other ( Romans 10:3 ). (3) The essential terms of salvation have in every age been the same: "Whosoever will" is invited to "take of the water of life freely," Revelation 22:17 ( Romans 10:13 ). (4) How will the remembrance of the simplicity, reasonableness, and absolute freeness of God's plan of salvation overwhelm those that perish from under the sound of it ( Romans 10:4-13 ). (5) How piercingly and perpetually should that question--"HOW SHALL THEY HEAR WITHOUT A PREACHER?"--sound in the ears of all churches, as but the apostolic echo of their Lord's parting injunction, "PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE" ( Mark 16:15 ), and how far below the proper standard of love, zeal, and self-sacrifice must the churches as yet be, when with so plenteous a harvest the laborers are yet so few ( Matthew 9:37 Matthew 9:38 ), and that cry from the lips of pardoned, gifted, consecrated men--"Here am I, send me" ( Isaiah 6:8 ), is not heard everywhere ( Romans 10:14 Romans 10:15 )! (6) The blessing of a covenant relation to God is the irrevocable privilege of no people and no Church; it can be preserved only by fidelity, on our part, to the covenant itself ( Romans 10:19 ). (7) God is often found by those who apparently are the farthest from Him, while He remains undiscovered by those who think themselves the nearest ( Romans 10:20 Romans 10:21 ). (8) God's dealings even with reprobate sinners are full of tenderness and compassion; all the day long extending the arms of His mercy even to the disobedient and gainsaying. This will be felt and acknowledged at last by all who perish, to the glory of God's forbearance and to their own confusion ( Romans 10:21 ).

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Oct 9, 2012This is the game we all wanted an unique game with great art style graphic great AI and the best of all unique gameplay you can play like you want if you want sneaky you can you want action/FPS you can and thats why this game rules and probably win some game of the year award becaouse like CVG said its the best game in this generation.A perfect 10 from me.
P.S Sorry for bad english im in a hurry -
Oct 14, 2012I would have expect more than 5.5hrs for my $60. Game mechanics, multiple paths work well. AI can spot you even behind cover making the stealth runs very frustrating at times, and the graphics are awful. When you see trailers, tv spots for this game, the screens are not representative of in game. rent don't buy.
Oct 15, 2012Im going to be painfully honest here this game is just Meh,it is absolutely nothing special;If it were released any other part of the year it would have been insulted and ignored like the painful mass of mediocrity it is.But sadly it was released in a gaming drought so all the short sided kiddies swarm it and praise it like crazy when there's truly no redeeming factors about the generic mess.
Nov 3, 2012
Oct 28, 2012
Oct 9, 2012Best game since Half-Life 2 came out. The story is amazing, the stealth gameplay is second-to-none, and the tension and atmosphere are top notch. Highly recommended.
Nov 27, 2012
Dec 29, 2012Overhyped and overrated, this game is not near as good as I expected. A number of issues include a weak story, repetitive gameplay, abysmal graphics, and rushed stages.
Oct 9, 2012Wow. Breath of fresh air. Amazing game, and something NEW for once! Must buy for anyone that is on the fence... it has depth, and some of the most unique gameplay I've ever experienced.
Oct 9, 2012While it has a few quirks here and there, Dishonored delivers on almost every admirably/crazily ambitious promise made by its creators. Its impeccably crafted gameplay and exquisitely haunting and detailed world stand in loving tribute to all of the iconic and acclaimed franchises that inspired it, and yet it still has a soul and style all its own.

Nov 6, 2012Pretty much open-world, a big plus for any adventurous kind of gamer. A story that is both personal and political, with a dark twist ending that will leave you wrenching and praying for a sequel.

Oct 10, 2012I could not put this game down. The levels are interesting, the powers are fun, and the story line is enjoyable. If you played batman arkhamill asylum or city and like the dectective mode and stealth fighting, you will love this game.
Nov 29, 2012
Oct 10, 2012Absolutely fantastic, nothing bad to say about this game. The rpg elements dont hold back the combat, or vise versa. The characters and lore are well thought out, but dont force you to read everything. If you want to just play, that is possible, or if you want a more immersive time, that's possible too.
Oct 11, 2012Replaying through this game is a must. Even within the first level I noticed pathways/things that I completely missed the first time through. So great to see what happens when a company puts so much emphasis on a single player game nowadays. Instead of making a sub-par co-op mode or something they have made the most fun single player experience I have played this year....easily.
Oct 11, 2012One of the most creative, original and engaging games that I have played in a very long time. I love having the power to choose what path I take and how to handle the various enemies along the way. You should definitely go buy this game immediately if you are a fan of stealth games (or just good video games in general). Easily the best game I have played this year.
Oct 10, 2012
Oct 18, 2012The most problem is that story ends when you want more! Amazing game with unique atmosphere and incredible gameplay. Reminded me Thief series much, and I'm thankful for that.
Oct 11, 2012
Oct 20, 2012
Oct 15, 2012Excellent game if you want you can play in stealth mode or you can play in Rambo mode killing everyone in your path making the next levels more difficult. you have to play this game
Oct 15, 2012Great Game. Told a great story and gave you the freedom to decide how the story was told and how it ended. Nice to see real craftmanship in a game. At least two play throughs. I'm already on my second one.
Oct 18, 2012
Oct 12, 2012What a gem. This game is everything we want as gamers. It's new, fresh, innovative, and just a damn good time. It doesn't take us for fools and is a smart and well thought out game. Love that you can remove the hud as well. This isn't a game you are supposed to rush through. Take your time, explore, etc. Unbelievably great game.
Oct 12, 2012I am in love with this game. It's soooo beautiful and the world is so well made. I love exploring the levels and finding everything it has to offer. I am playing a full stealth game and it's so intense and fun. If I get caught I consider it a failure and reload I haven't had this much fun in a game since Deus Ex: Human Revolution!
Oct 12, 2012If you were looking for game that rewards you with creativity and choice, than look no further. Dishonored truly feels like the first game to allow players to do a mission their own way. Your style is your own, there is no wrong or right way to play this game. In the end it's all up to you.
Oct 15, 2012The game is not worth $60. I recommend people rent this game first and see if it can have a long replay value based on personal taste. As for me, I'm on my second playthrough and I'm already feeling bored. The game is good - but very short. Don't fall for the Bethesda fanboy hype!
Oct 11, 2012
Oct 11, 2012
Oct 13, 2012This game has a wonderful campaign and game-play. You truly feel the consequences of your actions and I got really depressed by them at one point. Also you are always tempted to kill the evil military and your targets but you feel that it's better not to do so but sneak and remain unseen (which is a lot harder than shooting them all). Just do not rush some things as you'll get fast in trouble.

Oct 12, 2012This game would get a 10 out of 10 if it wasn't so short. Simple amazing and fun. Brutal, brutal kills! Finished the game in 6 hours give or take so that was really disappointing.
I have never played a game twice but this one has so much replay value. Great game, good job. -

Oct 24, 2012The Telegraph review pretty much sums up this games qualities. It is a truly refreshing experience, a game that is actually intelligent and where choices have consequences. FPS fan boys may not appreciate its finer qualities...guess some folks prefer tequila shots to a fine sipping bourbon or single malt scotch. This game resembes the latter.
Oct 15, 2012
Oct 14, 201260 FPS. Has a pretty strong learning curve to really appreciate how to handle certain situations. Read the rest of the reviews they will tell you what else you need to know.
Nov 17, 2012Amazing game. -1 point for a short game and -1 for hard to master controls. Nevertheless, this game is great I strongly reccomends this game when it goes down in price

P.S Sorry for bad english im in a hurry
Oct 12, 2012I am having a really good time with this game. It reminds me of System Shock and Deus Ex but definnitely has its own personality and style. You have so much control over how you proceed with your objectives its crazy. This is a game that demands exploration and experimentation. I definitely recommend it.
Oct 16, 2012
Oct 31, 2012I agree with a previous post that this game is well in the Meh range. If you want a better game that pulls off what this wants to do go buy Deus Ex on the 360 and give it a chance (though old PC original was still best). Dishonored tries too hard to be unique (similar to LA Noire) and falls well short. I finished it and immediately removed it from my HD as replayability odds are zilch.
Jun 20, 2013One of the best games out there its so fun to play it can make you cry.I hope there going to be dishonored 2 because we could use another one I never kept my copy of this so i'm mad at my self.
Oct 21, 2012
Dec 2, 2012Seriously underwhelming. The graphics look dated, the music is forgettable, the controls feel jerky, immersion is constantly broken by loading and score screens that require interaction, the enemy AI is simplistic and inconsistent, the missions are predictable and warmed-up cliches from other games. I was really looking forward to this game, but find myself super-disappointed.

Oct 16, 2012It is an innovative game like few others, with gameplay away from the archetypes of FPS ever. It also has a variety of missions to solve, a graphic section is excellent and a very fun game that is really important. We can say that this game deserves to be ahead of RE6 in sales, and I hope so, because the differences in quality between a title and another is evident.
Oct 16, 2012
Nov 18, 2012Playing this game feels great. The textures and colors are uncommon yet very good looking and the atmosphere is just as good. The sanbox gamepleay may not be the best but it's satisfying to see such a open and variate options through the game It was really good
Nov 25, 2012Dishonored is an incredible game. The stealth/action fusion, mixed with steampunk technology, is irresistible. It is a huge game, and even after beating it, I went and started again so that I could go through the game in a different way. A true masterpiece.
Dec 1, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Dec 14, 2012Great stealth elements. I like how they catched the feeling from the Half-Life series. The different approaches to each mission gives a lot of replayability. The steampunk setting is refreshing, and as the debut of the franchise it's an awesome entry.
Feb 28, 2013
Nov 6, 2012Dishonored is this year
Apr 1, 2013
Oct 19, 2012Multiple-choice approaches, large levels, great design, fun core gameplay and meaningful decisions are some of the factors that make this a great game. It's not perfect - no game is - but it's an awesome breath of fresh air compared to most big-title games. Best stealth game in a very long time.
Oct 19, 2012A new game that still seems to carry with it a twinge of nostalgia. The predictable twists and turns of the story were not enough to take me down from the high I was experiencing while playing through Dishonored. A fantastic game, worthy of my sixty dollars.

Dec 4, 2012Dishonoured has a strong start and a great art direction, but I felt as the game progressed it began to wear thin. Later areas of the game feel rushed, and lack the same level of detail and emphasis on player choice as shown in earlier levels.
Nov 11, 2012
Dec 27, 2012
Dec 26, 2012The versatility of the combat system in this game is wonderful, so many ways to kill unsuspecting guards and deal with the key enemies. Graphics were great. I didn't notice the audio while playing this game. And story wasn't half bad, but still wanted it to be a bit longer.
Oct 10, 2012
Nov 14, 2012Precise and elegant systemic design engenders an absurd degree of player agency, but is marred somewhat by a sloppy, unconvincing narrative and soulless characters. [Dec 2012]
Oct 31, 2012What is there is so compelling that the lack of additional stages can't help but feel like a disappointment. The game's strengths are a double-edged sword. Regardless, this is still one of the best games of this year. With a bit of work, a potential sequel could be one of the best games of any year.
Oct 26, 2012Dishonored is never able complete that transformation from a game into a totally new and exciting world to inhabit. To be sure, our mostly positive rating reflects that this game is well-structured with all the pieces you'd expect and story flexibility will offer up a unique adventure for every player. It's a promising and mostly enjoyable start to what will perhaps be an ongoing series, but it lacks the emotional punch that could make it great.

With the test channel being removed and the sound of that email, it doesn't look good for LA D* customers. And Mike White was quoted that he wants to retain current customers. Doesn't sound like it to me.
Has Sixto confirmed removal?
Posted 09 November 2012 - 10:09 AM
Dish is more diversified and has more revenue streams. They made money last qtr if you consider it before they had to pay the legal settlement to cablevision over the voom issue.
Directv has, well, Directv.

It has already been confirmed that the Lakers have removed D* services from their offices & practice facilities in El Segundo CA where also D* and TWC SportsNet headquarters are located.

LOL. That is incorrect. D* services are still there.

FWIW... I received this email from the Lakers earlier today:
Dear Lakers Fans,
We know that many of you are DirecTV subscribers and remain frustrated that you can't watch the Lakers on Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes.
We want to remind you of your choices and what you can do to watch the games as well as all the immersive content on these networks. Verizon FiOS, Time Warner Cable, Cox, Charter, Bright House Networks, and AT&T U-Verse have all reached agreements to carry Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes.

When the Root contract comes up for renewal on other distributors systems, then I agree that the distributor should be able to dictate on which tier it is placed if DirecTV recieves a high fee. If DirecTV is willing to accept a lower fee, then the channel should remain in the lowest tier. Where the channel is placed should be proportional to the fee to carry the channel.Then he should be OK if the other distributors, etc. if Root is moved to a sports tier and not resist that!
Time Warner can put the Lakers channel on any tier they want on the TWC system. DirecTV should to be free to put the Lakers channel on any tier DirecTV wants on DirecTV, and Time Warner should accept that.And he should be OK with Time Warner putting Lakers channel in a low tier.
White wants to place channels in a tier that is appropriate to the cost of the channel. As you point out, since Root is 100% owned by DirecTV, then whatever DirecTV pays for Root is meaningless, since they are paying themselves. Root is free, so it can remain in the lowest tier. If the Lakers channel was free, I am sure White would have no problem putting it in the lowest tier.And then we are right back to where we are now where White wants his channels in a low tier whereas everyone else's channels in a sports tier.
When the contracts for other operators to carry Root ends, then I agree that White should allow Root to be moved to a tier that is proportional to the fee DirecTV charges the other carriers for Root. Until the contracts end, Root should stay where it is.Time Warner is not agreeing to that their channel be in a sports tier and White is not allowing cable operators to move his channels to a sports tier......so what has changed? Not a darn thing.
No, since as you pointed out, Root does not cost DirecTV anything - they are paying themselves.Or if ROOT is put in a sports tier on Directv then each customer that elects out should save $2.33 on his monthly bill.
I do not follow your argument. You have already pointed out that Root is free to DirecTV, so having a free channel in the lowest tier makes perfect sense. Until the Root carriage agreement ends on other systems, we do not know what White will do. Perhaps he will accept a low fee in exchange for keeping it in the lowest tier, or perhaps he will allow it to go to a higher tier for a higher fee. All White has said is that the Lakers channels and the PAC 12 channels are too expensive to be in the lowest tier.Your whole argument is completely silly.....we are going nowhere until Mile White shows others he is serious about changing the sports channel market by leading

Not sure why LOL applies? Why would D* services be needed anymore, especially at the practice facility? Maybe you know something we don't? Nah, D* Facebook page would know first!
Not only does this suck for the LA market, but out of market fans can't even see the Laker SN games on LP. It was very painful watching the game on Root Sports Utah the other night because, well the team really stunk, but listening to the horrible bias of the Root announcers. Painful!

Sorry, I was laughing out loud at "what had already been confirmed". This is a great forum with some really good information, but like anything on the internet or elsewhere, you need to be careful on what to discern as truth vs partial truths vs non truths. There are a number of bars, commercial properties, etc that have multiple providers because not everyone has it all.
My apologies if my LOL was construed another way, it was merely in reference to a comment proclaiming certitude.

From Milton to modern poetry, from Anglo-Saxon to African American texts, our purpose is to teach literature energetically and imaginatively and to inspire students to read deeply, think and argue cogently, and write convincingly.
Overall, we are guided by the conviction that men and women who can read with insight and write with craft and power can master the fundamentals of new disciplines.
Whatever the classroom subject -- from the details of a Shakespearean sonnet to the drama of Sam Shepard, from the fine-tuning of an argument on Beloved to a feminist critique of Milton -- we hope to nurture imaginative reading, insightful analysis, cogent argument, and compelling prose.
This is a joint effort; we would, in the fashion of Chaucer's Clerk, "gladly lerne ... and gladly teche."

Anger is a normal, healthy emotion that can help us in many ways (i.e. becoming determined, improving focus, et cetera). However, if you find yourself being irritated by most mishaps or overreacting to the smallest incidents as if the sky were falling, you may need to manage your anger. The following are some tips on how to better manage your anger:
- Acknowledge that you are angry.
- Calm yourself before you say anything.
- Speak up when something is important to you.
- Explain how you feel in a way that shows ownership and responsibility for your anger.
If you continue to have a difficult time managing your anger, you may want to consider talking with a therapist to effectively resolve the problem. Heart centered hypnotherapy in combination with psychotherapy is a very effective treatment in addressing anger. Results can be seen in as little as four months in some cases.
Best of luck and pleasant journeys!
