Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th) on Friday abruptly resigned the City Council seat she has held since 2007, saying she cannot balance her role as the wife of a former congressman under federal investigation who is also suffering from bi-polar disorder with her demanding role as a Chicago alderman.
Jackson is the wife of disgraced former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., who resigned in late November amid a federal investigation of his campaign finances that, for the last year, has included questions about Sandi Jackson's finances.
"As a representative of the people of the 7th Ward, I value the public trust which has been bestowed upon me and take my responsibility to safeguard the interests of my constituents seriously. Likewise, I am unapologetically a wife and a mother and I cannot deny my commitment to those most important personal responsibilities," Jackson wrote in her resignation letter to the mayor.
"To that end, after much consideration and while dealing with very painful family health matters I have met with my family and determined that the constituents of the 7th Ward, as well as you Mr. Mayor, and my colleagues in the City Council deserve a partner who can commit all of their energies to the business of the people. Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I tender my resignation as Alderman of 7th Ward, effective January 15, 2013."
She added, "While I will no longer serve in this official leadership capacity, my service and affinity to the ward, my staff and the citizens of the City of Chicago remains unwavering. I am immensely grateful for the prayers and support extended to me and my family during this most difficult time and words will never be able to capture the magnitude of my gratitude to the 7th Ward for allowing me to serve them."
Sandi Jackson's resignation comes one month to the day after she insisted she had no plans to step down and called for and end to the rumors and speculation.
On Friday, the outgoing aldermen could not be reached for comment. Her father-in-law, the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., refused to comment when contacted by the Chicago Sun-Times.
The resignation will allow Mayor Rahm Emanuel to make his first appointment to fill an aldermanic vacancy. The deadline for filling an aldermanic vacancy by special election was Oct. 19. Emanuel has 60 days after the resignation takes effect to make an appointment to fill Jackson's seat.
The mayor had been careful to avoid pressuring Jackson to decide between her public and private responsibilities during her prolonged absence from the City Council that included skipping an all-important vote on the city budget.
"This afternoon I received a letter from Alderman Sandi Jackson tendering her resignation from City Council, effective January 15th. As Sandi takes this time to focus on her family, we give her our deepest thanks and support for her service to our City and the residents of her ward. Her leadership has been greatly appreciated in the Chicago City Council.," the mayor said in a prepared statement.
"The process to identify a replacement for Alderman Jackson to serve and represent the residents of Chicago's 7th ward will be announced early next week."
While Sandi Jackson's fellow aldermen were feeling sorry for their soon-to-be ex-colleague, those sympathies did not extend to indicted Cook County Commissioner William Beavers.
Beavers' daughter, Darcel, was appointed to succeed her father in the City Council and was defeated by Sandi Jackson in 2007 and again in 2011.
"She was a ghost alderman. She was never here. She always lived in Washington," Beavers said of Jackson.
"People come in my office even today looking to find out where she's located. I have pre-printed information with her office address and phone number. They're coming to me for aldermanic issues that I don't handle because they can't find her, and they need some information."
Beavers said he expected Sandi Jackson to resign just like her husband did, arguing that the alderman was in the thick of the financial decision-making and campaign spending now under federal scrutiny.
And Beavers argued that Sandi Jackson's departure won't mean a thing for the 7th Ward.
"She wasn't very effective because she was never there. She never attended any meetings and, when she came to a meeting, she left right away," he said.
"I don't feel sorry for her. I've got my own problems. I think she's gonna be part of it and Jesse Jr. is cutting a deal to save her."
Although there is bad blood between the Beavers and Jackson families, Beavers said it does not extend to family patriarch the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.
"The father and I are alright. We always have been. He's always asked for favors and I always returned his favors. Even today, we don't have any problems," Beavers said.
"But the son and I never saw eye-to-eye. He's from a different era than I am. His downfall was arrogance."
A paid political consultant to her husband, Sandi Jackson was elected to the City Council in 2007 when her husband's political power was at its peak.
At the time, Jesse Jackson Jr. was contemplating a race against then-Mayor Richard M. Daley before backing out when polls showed Jackson couldn't win.
Sandi Jackson has been under fire ever since for living in Washington, D.C., and sending her children to school in the nation's capital while serving one of Chicago's most impoverished and crime-ridden wards.
She was often seen arriving at City Hall with a suitcase and her young children in tow.
Although rumors have been flying for weeks, Ald. Michelle Harris (8th), who sits next to Sandi Jackson in the City Council chambers, said she was shocked by the resignation.
"I love my job. I love what I do. I would find it shocking and surprising that anybody would decide to step down from this job," Harris said.
"She's been my seat mate. We pretty much came in together. I'm very sad. Sandi is a bright, vivacious young lady. She's an attorney. She's intelligent and articulate. It's my wish, hope and prayer that she's gonna be fine."
Harris said she feels sorry for Sandi Jackson. She can only imagine the emotional pressure Sandi Jackson has been under for months as a result of her husband's illness, the federal investigation and the need to keep her young children on an even keel.
"From a mom's perspective, this whole ordeal and being in the public eye is hard. But, she has done what she had to do. She made a decision she thought was best," Harris said.
Last month, Jackson returned to the City Council for the first time since her husband's resignation from Congress and said she had no plans run for Congress or resign as alderman and planned to finish out her four-year term unless catastrophe strikes.
Jackson acknowledged then that rumors were flying that she plans to step down to focus on her family as her husband, Jesse Jackson Jr., continues to simultaneously battle bi-polar disease and the federal investigation.
But, she cautioned her constituents and the news media not to pay attention to rumors, adding, "This is not reality TV. This is real life."
"I'm not resigning. I am here. I'm working. I'm gonna continue to work and whoever these people are who purport to speak for me should stop. I'm asking them, please to stop," she said.
"If you don't hear from my office via a press release or from me, then it is not coming from me. I intend to finish my term unless something catastrophic happens. I could step outside and get hit by a bus today. I don't know."
Jackson was asked whether "something catastrophic" might include her husband going to jail — either after a conviction or a plea agreement.
"I'm not going to entertain questions like that. I really am not. I am going to concentrate on keeping my husband well. ... I'm going to concentrate on my two wonderful babies who depend on me and that's where my mind set's going to be," she said.
In his resignation letter, Jesse Jackson Jr. acknowledged the federal investigation and said the mistake made were his alone. His attorneys have said they are attempting to negotiate a plea deal, but it could be months away.
Sandi Jackson has not answered questions about the federal probe into her husband's campaign finances that has included inquiries about what she knows about the alleged spending irregularities.
But, talking to reporters last month, the alderman made no bones about it. She has come through an "exhausting period" that's been so emotionally wrenching, she found it difficult at times to soldier on.
"It would be hard for any family to go through what we've gone through publicly. There may have been times when I was overcome with exhaustion. I was overwhelmed and felt as if I couldn't take another step. That's real. And that's human. A lot of people go through that," she said then.
"I've had a lot of people say that to me: 'Be strong because you're at the beginning of this journey.' And I am and I know that. But, I honestly have what a lot of people don't have and that's support."
Jackson said then she had not yet decided whether to move back to Chicago now that her husband had resigned his seat in Congress. But, she pushed back hard against those who consider her an absentee alderman.
"People have personal tragedies. I can't control when sickness happens. All I can do is respond to it. I don't think anyone would blame me for trying to be a good wife and trying to be by my husband's side when he was hospitalized," Sandi Jackson said in December.
The alderman claimed she seldom missed a City Council meeting until this year, when she missed plenty, including November's vote on the mayor's budget, the most important vote of the year.
"People know I work hard on their behalf. They know they've got security in the 7th Ward — private security — for the first time ever. They know they've got private snow removal on our main thoroughfares for the first time ever in the existence of that ward. They know we've got landscaping and beautification efforts under way for the first time," she said.
"They know because I go directly to them. I don't go to anybody else to get the message out, which is why I own a robo-call machine. I don't rent it. I intend to get my message to the people."

Be sure the dvrs match online at her account on Directv.com.
I forget the error message, since I am not in front of it, but it seemed to relate more to a connection issue than anything. I will check that, though.
The iPad should show you the dvrs it's seeing. Not sure how you have the receiver connected to the 5Ghz band?
The CCK works on either frequency. I put it on the 5GHz band for the purposes of isolating it, which seemingly hasn't done the trick.
Edit: I also sympathize with supporting new technology with mothers / mother-in-laws. . .
Even more so, it is primarily for the use of someone who is bed-ridden, so they don't have the option of getting up and fussing with things.
I had more success putting both my iPad and the CCK in the 2.8 ghz band on my dual-band router (not Belkin). I found that the 5 ghz band was just a little too prone to dead spots and drop offs to be reliable enough overall. Once I got them both on the same band, I've had everything rock solid for a while. Maybe that might help here?
I mostly mentioned the Belkin part just for completeness, but I will take that into account. The access point and both devices are all in one (big and strangely shaped) room, so it doesn't seem like it should be an issue, but it could be.
I've used the wireless CCK on the 5Ghz band from a couple of Linksys dual band routers with dd-wrt firmware and had no problems.
How are your dvrs connected? Swim or ethernet?
I didn't buy the router, but I'm 99% sure that it doesn't support DD-WRT or Tomato. I think I checked that first thing when I saw it.
There is only one DVR, HR20, so no swim. I've told her that if she wants to stick with DirecTV (well outside of contract) that she should ask for a newer model, but we want to make sure that this iPad part works before she commits to them for another 2 years.

Lets find out what plugins the community is using to enhance their photo's and why that plugin matters to them.
It would be great to get a list of the most readily used plugins so please comment by adding the following:
- What is your favourite plugin for digital photography?
- What are its strengths & weaknesses?
- How does it fit into your workflow?
- What application is it designed to work in?
Please make all posts community wiki to allow updates and editing as required.
Current List (Alphabetical Order)
- Bibble Pro
- Neat Image
- Nik Software Bundle
- Noise Ninja
- OnOne Resize 7
- Topaz Labs
- UFRaw
- Wavelet Denoise (Gimp)
Update #1 - We only have 3 suggestions? Maybe this is a topic that the community is not interested in......
Update #2 - From 3 to 5. I will start assuming that either the community is not interested in plugins for digital photography, or its something that this site does not need to cover. I will keep this page open for the short term but I think long term due to the way stack exchange sites work will need to pick an answer as accepted so monitoring is no longer required.
Update #3 - Have accepted an answer so question is closed as its not something the community wants.

All the best diet and fitness plans say 'walk, walk, walk,' right? And you DO walk! Now, with the Omron HJ 113 E Pedometer, you can accurately keep track of all the walking you do every day.
None Currently AvailableAll the best diet and fitness plans say "walk, walk, walk," right? And you DO walk! Now, with the Omron HJ 113 E Pedometer, you can accurately keep track of all the walking you do every day.
Omron has developed a step counter – the Omron HJ 113 E Walking Style - that is different from other models on the market today, and those differences make it perfect for everyone. The HJ 113 E Pedometer is manufactured with a new sensor technology that brings a whole list of added features to the more traditional step counters.
Old style step counters have to be worn on the hip and the mercury movement detection mechanism they use is not particularly reliable, especially in cheaper models.
Omron's new sensor technology means you can pop the HJ 113 discreetly into your pocket or bag and it will reliably count every step you take. It even automatically calculates the difference between normal walking about and the rhythmic pattern of an aerobic workout.
Better yet, the Omron Pedometer doesn't just count your steps – it measures distance, too, and calculates calories and fat burned. And with a 7-day memory, this step counter will motivate you to take more steps, every day, towards your fitness or weight loss goals.

Pregnant mom votes while in labor
By DONNA VICKROY firstname.lastname@example.com November 6, 2012 9:48AM
Updated: December 8, 2012 6:28AM
A very pregnant Galicia Malone was so determined to participate in her first presidential election that she took a few cleansing breaths and put those labor pains right out of her mind until her vote was cast.
Malone, 21, started having pains in her back and pelvic area around 3 a.m. Tuesday. By the time she drove from her mother's house in Richton Park, where she stayed last night, to New Life Church precinct in Dolton, the contractions were five minutes apart.
"This is my first baby, a girl, and I wanted to make a good impression," Malone said. "I want to have a story to tell her."
Malone, whose due date isn't until Nov. 10, said she was en route to South Suburban Hospital when we caught up with her.
Later, however, hospital officials said she is not a registered patient. County officials, though, said she was still in labor Tuesday night.
While driving, Malone said, "The pains are pretty steady but my doctor says to think of it as getting ready to give life."
Though she is against abortion, Malone, of Dolton, said her belief that women should have the right to make their own decisions prompted her to vote for President Barack Obama.
"I just agree with more of his policies than with (Mitt) Romney's," she said.
"I grew up on Sesame Street and PBS," she said. "He wants to cut that. What will my daughter grow up on?"

The duties of children and parents. (1-4) Of servants and masters. (5-9) All Christians are to put on spiritual armour against the enemies of their souls. (10-18) The apostle desires their prayers, and ends with his apostolic blessing. (19-24)
Verses 1-4 The great duty of children is, to obey their parents. That obedience includes inward reverence, as well as outward acts, and in every age prosperity has attended those distinguished for obedience to parents. The duty of parents. Be not impatient; use no unreasonable severities. Deal prudently and wisely with children; convince their judgements and work upon their reason. Bring them up well; under proper and compassionate correction; and in the knowledge of the duty God requires. Often is this duty neglected, even among professors of the gospel. Many set their children against religion; but this does not excuse the children's disobedience, though it may be awfully occasion it. God alone can change the heart, yet he gives his blessing to the good lessons and examples of parents, and answers their prayers. But those, whose chief anxiety is that their children should be rich and accomplished, whatever becomes of their souls, must not look for the blessing of God.
Verses 5-9 The duty of servants is summed up in one word, obedience. The servants of old were generally slaves. The apostles were to teach servants and masters their duties, in doing which evils would be lessened, till slavery should be rooted out by the influence of Christianity. Servants are to reverence those over them. They are to be sincere; not pretending obedience when they mean to disobey, but serving faithfully. And they must serve their masters not only when their master's eye is upon them; but must be strict in the discharge of their duty, when he is absent and out of the way. Steady regard to the Lord Jesus Christ will make men faithful and sincere in every station, not grudgingly or by constraint, but from a principle of love to the masters and their concerns. This makes service easy to them, pleasing to their masters, and acceptable to the Lord Christ. God will reward even the meanest drudgery done from a sense of duty, and with a view to glorify him. Here is the duty of masters. Act after the same manner. Be just to servants, as you expect they should be to you; show the like good-will and concern for them, and be careful herein to approve yourselves to God. Be not tyrannical and overbearing. You have a Master to obey, and you and they are but fellow-servants in respect to Christ Jesus. If masters and servants would consider their duties to God, and the account they must shortly give to him, they would be more mindful of their duty to each other, and thus families would be more orderly and happy.
Verses 10-18 Spiritual strength and courage are needed for our spiritual warfare and suffering. Those who would prove themselves to have true grace, must aim at all grace; and put on the whole armour of God, which he prepares and bestows. The Christian armour is made to be worn; and there is no putting off our armour till we have done our warfare, and finished our course. The combat is not against human enemies, nor against our own corrupt nature only; we have to do with an enemy who has a thousand ways of beguiling unstable souls. The devils assault us in the things that belong to our souls, and labour to deface the heavenly image in our hearts. We must resolve by God's grace, not to yield to Satan. Resist him, and he will flee. If we give way, he will get ground. If we distrust either our cause, or our Leader, or our armour, we give him advantage. The different parts of the armour of heavy-armed soldiers, who had to sustain the fiercest assaults of the enemy, are here described. There is none for the back; nothing to defend those who turn back in the Christian warfare. Truth, or sincerity, is the girdle. This girds on all the other pieces of our armour, and is first mentioned. There can be no religion without sincerity. The righteousness of Christ, imputed to us, is a breastplate against the arrows of Divine wrath. The righteousness of Christ implanted in us, fortifies the heart against the attacks of Satan. Resolution must be as greaves, or armour to our legs; and to stand their ground or to march forward in rugged paths, the feet must be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Motives to obedience, amidst trials, must be drawn from a clear knowledge of the gospel. Faith is all in all in an hour of temptation. Faith, as relying on unseen objects, receiving Christ and the benefits of redemption, and so deriving grace from him, is like a shield, a defence every way. The devil is the wicked one. Violent temptations, by which the soul is set on fire of hell, are darts Satan shoots at us. Also, hard thoughts of God, and as to ourselves. Faith applying the word of God and the grace of Christ, quenches the darts of temptation. Salvation must be our helmet. A good hope of salvation, a Scriptural expectation of victory, will purify the soul, and keep it from being defiled by Satan. To the Christian armed for defense in battle, the apostle recommends only one weapon of attack; but it is enough, the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. It subdues and mortifies evil desires and blasphemous thoughts as they rise within; and answers unbelief and error as they assault from without. A single text, well understood, and rightly applied, at once destroys a temptation or an objection, and subdues the most formidable adversary. Prayer must fasten all the other parts of our Christian armour. There are other duties of religion, and of our stations in the world, but we must keep up times of prayer. Though set and solemn prayer may not be seasonable when other duties are to be done, yet short pious prayers darted out, always are so. We must use holy thoughts in our ordinary course. A vain heart will be vain in prayer. We must pray with all kinds of prayer, public, private, and secret; social and solitary; solemn and sudden: with all the parts of prayer; confession of sin, petition for mercy, and thanksgiving for favours received. And we must do it by the grace of God the Holy Spirit, in dependence on, and according to, his teaching. We must preserve in particular requests, notwithstanding discouragements. We must pray, not for ourselves only, but for all saints. Our enemies are mighty, and we are without strength, but our Redeemer is almighty, and in the power of his mighty we may overcome. Wherefore we must stir up ourselves. Have not we, when God has called, often neglected to answer? Let us think upon these things, and continue our prayers with patience.
Verses 19-24 The gospel was a mystery till made known by Divine revelation; and it is the work of Christ's ministers to declare it. The best and most eminent ministers need the prayers of believers. Those particularly should be prayed for, who are exposed to great hardships and perils in their work. Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith. By peace, understand all manner of peace; peace with God, peace of conscience, peace among themselves. And the grace of the Spirit, producing faith and love, and every grace. These he desires for those in whom they were already begun. And all grace and blessings come to the saints from God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Grace, that is, the favour of God; and all good, spiritual and temporal, which is from it, is and shall be with all those who thus love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, and with them only.
Ephesians 6:1-24 . MUTUAL DUTIES OF PARENTS AND CHILDREN: MASTERS AND SERVANTS: OUR LIFE A WARFARE: THE SPIRITUAL ARMOUR NEEDED AGAINST SPIRITUAL FOES. CONCLUSION.
1. obey--stronger than the expression as to wives, "submitting," or "being subject" ( Ephesians 5:21 ). Obedience is more unreasoning and implicit; submission is the willing subjection of an inferior in point of order to one who has a right to command.
in the Lord--Both parents and children being Christians "in the Lord," expresses the element in which the obedience is to take place, and the motive to obedience. In Colossians 3:20 , it is, "Children, obey your parents in all things." This clause, "in the Lord," would suggest the due limitation of the obedience required ( Acts 5:29 ; compare on the other hand, the abuse, Mark 7:11-13 ).
right--Even by natural law we should render obedience to them from whom we have derived life.
2. Here the authority of revealed law is added to that of natural law.
which is . . . promise--The "promise" is not made the main motive to obedience, but an incidental one. The main motive is, because it is God's will ( Deuteronomy 5:16 , "Honor thy father and mother, as the Lord thy God hath COMMANDED thee"); and that it is so peculiarly, is shown by His accompanying it "with a promise."
first--in the decalogue with a special promise. The promise in the second commandment is a general one. Their duty is more expressly prescribed to children than to parents; for love descends rather than ascends [BENGEL]. This verse proves the law in the Old Testament is not abolished.
3. long on the earth--In Exodus 20:12 , "long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee," which Paul adapts to Gospel times, by taking away the local and limited reference peculiar to the Jews in Canaan. The godly are equally blessed in every land, as the Jews were in the land which God gave them. This promise is always fulfilled, either literally, or by the substitution of a higher blessing, namely, one spiritual and eternal ( Job 5:26 , Proverbs 10:27 ). The substance and essence of the law are eternally in force: its accidents alone (applying to Israel of old) are abolished ( Romans 6:15 ).
4. fathers--including mothers; the fathers are specified as being the fountains of domestic authority. Fathers are more prone to passion in relation to their children than mothers, whose fault is rather over-indulgence.
provoke not--irritate not, by vexatious commands, unreasonable blame, and uncertain temper [ALFORD]. Colossians 3:21 , "lest they be discouraged."
nurture--Greek, "discipline," namely, training by chastening in act where needed ( Job 5:17 , Hebrews 12:7 ).
admonition--training by words ( Deuteronomy 6:7 ; "catechise," Proverbs 22:6 , Margin), whether of encouragement, or remonstrance, or reproof, according as is required [TRENCH]. Contrast 1 Samuel 3:13 , Margin.
of the Lord--such as the Lord approves, and by His Spirit dictates.
5. Servants--literally, "slaves."
masters according to the flesh--in contrast to your true and heavenly Master ( Ephesians 6:4 ). A consolatory him that the mastership to which they were subject, was but for a time [CHRYSOSTOM]; and that their real liberty was still their own ( 1 Corinthians 7:22 ).
fear and trembling--not slavish terror, but 2 Corinthians 7:15 ) an anxious eagerness to do your duty, and a fear of displeasing, as great as is produced in the ordinary slave by "threatenings" ( Ephesians 6:9 ).
singleness--without double-mindedness, or "eye service" ( Ephesians 6:6 ), which seeks to please outwardly, without the sincere desire to make the master's interest at all times the first consideration ( 1 Chronicles 29:17 , Matthew 6:22 Matthew 6:23 , Luke 11:34 ). "Simplicity."
6. ( Colossians 3:22 ). Seeking to please their masters only so long as these have their eyes on them: as Gehazi was a very different man in his master's presence from what he was in his absence ( 2 Kings 5:1-18 ).
men-pleasers--not Christ-pleasers (compare Galatians 1:10 , 1 Thessalonians 2:4 ).
doing the will of God--the unseen but ever present Master: the best guarantee for your serving faithfully your earthly master alike when present and when absent.
from the heart--literally, soul ( Psalms 111:1 , Romans 13:5 ).
7. good will--expressing his feeling towards his master; as "doing the will of God from the heart" expresses the source of that feeling ( Colossians 3:23 ). "Good will" is stated by XENOPHON [Economics] to be the principal virtue of a slave towards his master: a real regard to his master's interest as if his own, a good will which not even a master's severity can extinguish.
8. any man doeth--Greek, "any man shall have done," that is, shall be found at the Lord's coming to have done.
the same--in full payment, in heaven's currency.
shall . . . receive--( 2 Corinthians 5:10 , Colossians 3:25 ; but all of grace, Luke 17:10 ).
bond or free--( 1 Corinthians 7:22 , 12:13 , Galatians 3:28 , Colossians 3:11 ). Christ does not regard such distinctions in His present dealings of grace, or in His future judgment. The slave that has acted faithfully for the Lord's sake to his master, though the latter may not repay his faithfulness, shall have the Lord for his Paymaster. So the freeman who has done good for the Lord's sake, though man may not pay him, has the Lord for his Debtor ( Proverbs 19:17 ).
9. the same things--Mutatis mutandis. Show the same regard to God's will, and to your servants' well-being, in your relation to them, as they ought to have in their relation to you. Love regulates the duties both of servants and masters, as one and the same light attempers various colors. Equality of nature and faith is superior to distinctions of rank [BENGEL]. Christianity makes all men brothers: compare Leviticus 25:42 Leviticus 25:43 , Deuteronomy 15:12 , Jeremiah 34:14 as to how the Hebrews were bound to treat their brethren in service; much more ought Christians to act with love.
threatening--Greek, "the threatening" which masters commonly use. "Masters" in the Greek, is not so strong a term as "despots": it implies authority, but not absolute domination.
your Master also--The oldest manuscripts read, "the Master both of them and you": "their Master and yours." This more forcibly brings out the equality of slaves and masters in the sight of God. SENECA [Thyestes, 607], says, "Whatever an inferior dreads from you, this a superior Master threatens yourselves with: every authority here is under a higher above." As you treat your servants, so will He treat you.
neither . . . respect of persons--He will not, in judging, acquit thee because thou art a master, or condemn him because he is a servant ( Acts 10:34 , Romans 2:11 , Galatians 2:6 , Colossians 3:25 , 1 Peter 1:17 ). Derived from Deuteronomy 10:17 , 2 Chronicles 19:7 .
10. my brethren--Some of the oldest manuscripts omit these words. Some with Vulgate retain them. The phrase occurs nowhere else in the Epistle (see, however, Ephesians 6:23 ); if genuine, it is appropriate here in the close of the Epistle, where he is urging his fellow soldiers to the good fight in the Christian armor. Most of the oldest manuscripts for "finally," read, "henceforward," or "from henceforth" ( Galatians 6:17 ).
be strong--Greek, "be strengthened."
in the power of his might--Christ's might: as in Ephesians 1:19 , it is the Father's might.
11. the whole armour--the armor of light ( Romans 13:12 ); on the right hand and left ( 2 Corinthians 6:7 ). The panoply offensive and defensive. An image readily suggested by the Roman armory, Paul being now in Rome. Repeated emphatically, Ephesians 6:13 . In Romans 13:14 it is, "Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ"; in putting on Him, and the new man in Him, we put on "the whole armor of God." No opening at the head, the feet, the heart, the belly, the eye, the ear, or the tongue, is to be given to Satan. Believers have once for all overcome him; but on the ground of this fundamental victory gained over him, they are ever again to fight against and overcome him, even as they who once die with Christ have continually to mortify their members upon earth ( Romans 6:2-14 Colossians 3:3 Colossians 3:5 ).
of God--furnished by God; not our own, else it would not stand ( Psalms 35:1-3 ). Spiritual, therefore, and mighty through God, not carnal ( 2 Corinthians 10:4 ).
wiles--literally, "schemes sought out" for deceiving (compare 2 Corinthians 11:14 ).
the devil--the ruling chief of the foes ( Ephesians 6:12 ) organized into a kingdom of darkness ( Matthew 12:26 ), opposed to the kingdom of light.
12. Greek, "For our wrestling ('the wrestling' in which we are engaged) is not against flesh," &c. Flesh and blood foes are Satan's mere tools, the real foe lurking behind them is Satan himself, with whom our conflict is. "Wrestling" implies that it is a hand-to-hand and foot-to-foot struggle for the mastery: to wrestle successfully with Satan, we must wrestle with GOD in irresistible prayer like Jacob ( Genesis 32:24-29 , Hosea 12:4 ). Translate, "The principalities . . . the powers" ( Ephesians 1:21 , Colossians 1:16 ; the case of the demons here, as in that of angels there (compare Romans 8:38 , 1 Corinthians 15:24 , Colossians 2:15 ). The Ephesians had practiced sorcery ( Acts 19:19 ), so that he appropriately treats of evil spirits in addressing them. The more clearly any book of Scripture, as this, treats of the economy of the kingdom of light, the more clearly does it set forth the kingdom of darkness. Hence, nowhere does the satanic kingdom come more clearly into view than in the Gospels which treat of Christ, the true Light.
rulers of the darkness of this world--Greek, "age" or "course of the world." But the oldest manuscripts omit "of world." Translate, "Against the world rulers of this (present) darkness" ( Ephesians 2:2 , 5:8 , Luke 22:53 , Colossians 1:13 ). On Satan and his demons being "world rulers," compare John 12:31 , 14:30 , 16:11 , Luke 4:6 , 2 Corinthians 4:4 , 1 John 5:19 , Greek, "lieth in the wicked one." Though they be "world rulers," they are not the ruler of the universe; and their usurped rule of the world is soon to cease, when He shall "come whose right it is" ( Ezekiel 21:27 ). Two cases prove Satan not to be a mere subjective fancy: (1) Christ's temptation; (2) the entrance of demons into the swine (for these are incapable of such fancies). Satan tries to parody, or imitate in a perverted way, God's working ( 2 Corinthians 11:13 2 Corinthians 11:14 ). So when God became incarnate, Satan, by his demons, took forcible possession of human bodies. Thus the demoniacally possessed were not peculiarly wicked, but miserable, and so fit. subjects for Jesus' pity. Paul makes no mention of demoniacal possession, so that in the time he wrote, it seems to have ceased; it probably was restricted to the period of the Lord's incarnation, and of the foundation of His Church.
spiritual wickedness--rather as Greek, "The spiritual hosts of wickedness." As three of the clauses describe the power, so this fourth, the wickedness of our spiritual foes ( Matthew 12:45 ).
in high places--Greek, "heavenly places": in Ephesians 2:2 , "the air," heavenly places," is in order to mark the higher range of their powers than ours, they having been, up to the ascension ( Revelation 12:5 Revelation 12:9 Revelation 12:10 ), dwellers "in the heavenly places" ( Job 1:7 ), and being now in the regions of the air which are called the heavens. Moreover, pride and presumption are the sins in heavenly places to which they tempt especially, being those by which they themselves fell from heavenly places ( Isaiah 14:12-15 ). But believers have naught to fear, being "blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places" ( Ephesians 1:3 ).
13. take . . . of God--not "make," God has done that: you have only to "take up" and put it on. The Ephesians were familiar with the idea of the gods giving armor to mythical heroes: thus Paul's allusion would be appropriate.
the evil day--the day of Satan's special assaults ( Ephesians 6:12 Ephesians 6:16 ) in life and at the dying hour (compare Revelation 3:10 ). We must have our armor always on, to be ready against the evil day which may come at any moment, the war being perpetual ( Psalms 41:1 , Margin).
done all--rather, "accomplished all things," namely, necessary to the fight, and becoming a good soldier.
14. Stand--The repetition in Ephesians 6:11 Ephesians 6:14 , shows that standing, that is, maintaining our ground, not yielding or fleeing, is the grand aim of the Christian soldier. Translate as Greek, "Having girt about your loins with truth," that is, with truthfulness, sincerity, a good conscience ( 2 Corinthians 1:12 , 1 Timothy 1:5 1 Timothy 1:18 , 3:9 ). Truth is the band that girds up and keeps together the flowing robes, so as that the Christian soldier may be unencumbered for action. So the Passover was eaten with the loins girt, and the shoes on the feet ( Exodus 12:11 ; compare Isaiah 5:27 , Luke 12:35 ). Faithfulness (Septuagint, "truth") is the girdle of Messiah ( Isaiah 11:5 ): so truth of His followers.
having on--Greek, "having put on."
breastplate of righteousness--( Isaiah 59:17 ), similarly of Messiah. "Righteousness" is here joined with "truth," as in Ephesians 5:9 : righteousness in works, truth in words [ESTIUS] ( 1 John 3:7 ). Christ's righteousness inwrought in us by the Spirit. "Faith and love," that is, faith working righteousness by love, are "the breastplate" in 1 Thessalonians 5:8 .
15. Translate, "Having shod your feet" (referring to the sandals, or to the military shoes then used).
the preparation--rather, "the preparedness," or "readiness of," that is, arising from the "Gospel" ( Psalms 10:17 ). Preparedness to do and suffer all that God wills; readiness for march, as a Christian soldier.
gospel of peace--(compare Luke 1:79 , Romans 10:15 ). The "peace" within forms a beautiful contrast to the raging of the outward conflict ( Isaiah 26:3 , Philippians 4:7 ).
16. Above all--rather, "Over all"; so as to cover all that has been put on before. Three integuments are specified, the breastplate, girdle, and shoes; two defenses, the helmet and shield; and two offensive weapons, the sword and the spear (prayer). ALFORD translates, "Besides all," as the Greek is translated, Luke 3:20 . But if it meant this, it would have come last in the list (compare Colossians 3:14 ).
shield--the large oblong oval door-like shield of the Romans, four feet long by two and a half feet broad; not the small round buckler.
ye shall be able--not merely, "ye may." The shield of faith will certainly intercept, and so "quench, all the fiery darts" (an image from the ancient fire-darts, formed of cane, with tow and combustibles ignited on the head of the shaft, so as to set fire to woodwork, tents, &c.).
of the wicked--rather "of the EVIL ONE." Faith conquers him ( 1 Peter 5:9 ), and his darts of temptation to wrath, lust, revenge, despair, &c. It overcomes the world ( 1 John 5:4 ), and so the prince of the world ( 1 John 5:18 ).
17. take--a different Greek word from that in Ephesians 6:13 Ephesians 6:16 ; translate, therefore, "receive," "accept," namely, the helmet offered by the Lord, namely, "salvation" appropriated, as 1 Thessalonians 5:8 , "Helmet, the hope of salvation"; not an uncertain hope, but one that brings with it no shame of disappointment ( Romans 5:5 ). It is subjoined to the shield of faith, as being its inseparable accompaniment (compare Romans 5:1 Romans 5:5 ). The head of the soldier was among the principal parts to be defended, as on it the deadliest strokes might fall, and it is the head that commands the whole body. The head is the seat of the mind, which, when it has laid hold of the sure Gospel "hope" of eternal life, will not receive false doctrine, or give way to Satan's temptations to despair. God, by this hope, "lifts up the head" ( Psalms 3:3 , Luke 21:28 ).
sword of the Spirit--that is, furnished by the Spirit, who inspired the writers of the word of God ( 2 Peter 1:21 ). Again the Trinity is implied: the Spirit here; and Christ in "salvation" and God the Father, Ephesians 6:13 (compare Hebrews 4:12 , Revelation 1:16 , 2:12 ). The two-edged sword, cutting both ways ( Psalms 45:3 Psalms 45:5 ), striking some with conviction and conversion, and others with condemnation ( Isaiah 11:4 , Revelation 19:15 ), is in the mouth of Christ ( Isaiah 49:2 ), in the hand of His saints ( Psalms 149:6 ). Christ's use of this sword in the temptation is our pattern as to how we are to wield it against Satan ( Matthew 4:4 Matthew 4:7 Matthew 4:10 ). There is no armor specified for the back, but only for the front of the body; implying that we must never turn our back to the foe ( Luke 9:62 ); our only safety is in resisting ceaselessly ( Matthew 4:11 , 4:7 ).
18. always--Greek, "in every season"; implying opportunity and exigency ( Colossians 4:2 ). Paul uses the very words of Jesus in Luke 21:36 (a Gospel which he quotes elsewhere, in undesigned consonance with the fact of Luke being his associate in travel, 1 Corinthians 11:23 , &c. 1 Timothy 5:18 ). Compare Luke 18:1 , Romans 12:12 , 1 Thessalonians 5:17 .
with all--that is, every kind of.
prayer--a sacred term for prayer in general.
supplication--a common term for a special kind of prayer [HARLESS], an imploring request. "Prayer" for obtaining blessings, "supplication" for averting evils which we fear [GROTIUS].
in the Spirit--to be joined with "praying." It is he in us, as the Spirit of adoption, who prays, and enables us to pray ( Romans 8:15 Romans 8:26 , Galatians 4:6 , Jude 1:20 ).
watching--not sleeping ( Ephesians 5:14 , Psalms 88:13 , Matthew 26:41 ). So in the temple a perpetual watch was maintained (compare Anna, Luke 2:37 ).
thereunto--"watching unto" (with a view to) prayer and supplication.
with--Greek, "in." Persevering constancy ("perseverance") and (that is, exhibited in) supplication are to be the element in which our watchfulness is to be exercised.
for all saints--as none is so perfect as not to need the intercessions of his fellow Christians.
19. for me--a different Greek preposition from that in Ephesians 6:18 ; translate, therefore, "on my behalf."
that I may open my mouth boldly--rather, "that there may be given to me 'utterance,' or 'speech' in the opening of my mouth (when I undertake to speak; a formula used in set and solemn speech, Job 3:1 , Daniel 10:16 ), so as with boldness to make known," &c. Bold plainness of speech was the more needed, as the Gospel is a "mystery" undiscoverable by mere reason, and only known by revelation. Paul looked for utterance to be given him; he did not depend on his natural or acquired power. The shortest road to any heart is by way of heaven; pray to God to open the door and to open your mouth, so as to avail yourself of every opening ( Jeremiah 1:7 Jeremiah 1:8 , Ezekiel 3:8 Ezekiel 3:9 Ezekiel 3:11 , 2 Corinthians 4:13 ).
20. For--Greek, as in Ephesians 6:19 , "On behalf of which."
an ambassador in bonds--a paradox. Ambassadors were held inviolable by the law of nations, and could not, without outrage to every sacred right, be put in chains. Yet Christ's "ambassador is in a chain!" The Greek is singular. The Romans used to bind a prisoner to a soldier by a single chain, in a kind of free custody. So Acts 28:16 Acts 28:20 , "I am bound with this chain." The term, "bonds" (plural), on the other hand, is used when the prisoner's hands or feet were bound together ( Acts 26:29 ); compare Acts 12:6 , where the plural marks the distinction. The singular is only used of the particular kind of custody described above; an undesigned coincidence [PALEY].
21. that ye also--as I have been discussing things relating to you, so that ye also may know about me (compare Colossians 4:7 Colossians 4:8 ). NEANDER takes it, "Ye also," as well as the Colossians ( Colossians 4:6 ).
my affairs--Greek, "the things concerning me."
how I do--how I fare.
Tychicus--an Asiatic, and so a fit messenger bearing the respective Epistles to Ephesus and Colosse ( Acts 20:4 , 2 Timothy 4:12 ).
a beloved brother--Greek, "the beloved brother"; the same epithet as in Colossians 4:7 .
minister--that is, servant.
in the Lord--in the Lord's work.
22. for the same purpose--Greek, "for this very purpose." Colossians 4:8 is almost word for word the same as this verse.
our affairs--Greek, "the things concerning us," namely, concerning myself. "Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas" ( Colossians 4:10 ).
23. love with faith--Faith is presupposed as theirs; he prays that love may accompany it ( Galatians 5:6 ).
24. Contrast the malediction on all who love Him not ( 1 Corinthians 16:22 ).
in sincerity--Greek, "in incorruption," that is, not as English Version, but "with an immortal (constant) love" [WAHL]. Compare "that which is not corruptible" ( 1 Peter 3:4 ). Not a fleeting, earthly love, but a spiritual and eternal one [ALFORD]. Contrast Colossians 2:22 , worldly things "which perish with the using." Compare 1 Corinthians 9:25 , "corruptible . . . incorruptible crown." "Purely," "holily" [ESTIUS], without the corruption of sin 2 Peter 1:4 , Jude 1:10 ). Where the Lord Jesus has a true believer, there I have a brother [BISHOP M'IKWAINE]. He who is good enough for Christ, is good enough for me [R. HALL]. The differences of opinion among real Christians are comparatively small, and show that they are not following one another like silly sheep, each trusting the one before him. Their agreement in the main, while showing their independence as witnesses by differing in non-essentials, can only be accounted for by their being all in the right direction ( Acts 15:8 Acts 15:9 , 1 Corinthians 1:2 , 12:3 ).

For immediate release -- Wednesday, May 2, 2001. Contact Bob Brammer, 515-281-6699
Attorney General Tom Miller warned Eastern Iowans to be wary of consumer scams that sometimes strike in the wake of natural disasters like this year's flooding along the Mississippi.
"Home repair con-artists sometimes move in after a disaster because the conditions may give them an edge," Miller said. "There may be hundreds of people who are eager to get clean-up or repairs done, there may be a shortage of local contractors to do all the work, there may be money around because of disaster or insurance payments, and people may be in a rush to get back to normal."
Miller cautioned Iowans to be especially careful about contractors coming to their door and asking for advance payment for cleanup or repairs. "That's a recipe for rip-off. They may take your money and run and do little or no work," he said.
"We strongly urge people to work with reputable local contractors who were there before the flood and will be there after," Miller said. "Get several written estimates, get a written contract with all details and costs, and never pay large sums in advance to a contractor you don't know. Those are the cardinal rules to avoid being cheated."
Miller issued a "Consumer Advisory" bulletin with details on those tips and others. The Advisory is available at the Attorney General's web site: www.IowaAttorneyGeneral.org (click on "Consumer Protection Information") or by calling the Consumer Protection Division at 515-281-5926.
Miller also encouraged consumers to contact the Consumer Protection Division if they have consumer complaints about questionable contractors, or about price-gouging - charging exorbitant and unjustified prices for products or services that are necessary for disaster victims.
Iowa regulations make price gouging illegal when a disaster declaration is in effect, as it is for many counties in Eastern Iowa. (Price gouging is defined in the Attorney General's Administrative Rule as raising prices unreasonably above the price at which the merchandise or service was sold in the usual course of business immediately prior to the onset of the emergency. The Rule recognizes that prices may be higher because sellers also often incur increased costs. The Rule applies during the emergency declaration and "subsequent recovery period" up to six months.)
Miller said the Consumer Protection Division sometimes sees other scams that crop up in connection with natural disasters - charity scams (fraudulently soliciting donations for bogus charities purportedly to help disaster victims), advance-fee loan scams (taking money in advance supposedly to arrange a 'guaranteed' loan but never providing the loan), and con-artists presenting themselves as utility or government officials to get into people's homes for purposes of theft or other scams.
"Unfortunately, con-artists have earned a reputation for preying on people when they're down," Miller said. "Cheating flood victims is the definition of adding insult to injury. People need to be careful as the waters go down and recovery gets into full swing."
Miller emphasized that he is hopeful that flood-related consumer scams can be avoided in Iowa. "Iowans are smart consumers. People have worked hard to reduce the number of homes damaged and the amount of damage, and I'm hoping we have a sufficient number of reputable local contractors to handle the work. I think the con-artists may conclude that this is not good territory for them to try their schemes," he said.
"But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to consumer fraud," Miller said. "We just want Iowans to be careful and use their good common sense."

Things to do in Amsterdam
Amsterdam, with its waterways and centuries-old canal-houses, is one of Europe's prettiest cities. Most attractions are in the city centre, from Dutch artworks at the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, to reminders of Amsterdam's past at the Anne Frank House and the Homomonument. The city is not all heavy-duty history and culture, however, as anyone can see exploring the canals on a Canal Bike Tour.

Wartime Jewish refuge
Seeing the secret hiding place in the city-centre Anne Frank House allows

Good card at a decent price
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 29/05/2012
Dabs was the cheapest I could find this card on the internet, the discount coupon and cheap delivery was a nice added bonus as well. The service was great and I unexpectedly got the card the day after ordering. The product works well and I managed to get the overclock I wanted (1200 core, 7000 memory). The card is quiet is running cool. No complaints.

Beautiful rug, I get a lot of compliments on it. I'm taking off one star because the fibers came out when I got it drycleaned and the white is impossible to keep white. If you put it in a low-traffic area and don't have pets or kids, you should be fine.
