A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF EBER F. PIERS by John L. Piers It was a Sunday morning; the year was 1927. The main water pump for the new Bank and Office Building had failed. The Building Engineer, fearful of Monday's opening, had called the Architect to the boiler room to survey the problem. Ail efforts to locate a repairman had failed. Patiently, hearing the Engineer out, the Architect said, "Harm, someone put this damn pump together, and we can pull it apart. Get your tools." Late that Sunday, somewhat haggard, the two men emerged from the boiler room.... Monday's opening was assured. Such were the ways of Eber Piers - Architect, Engineer, Inventor. Eber Francis Piers was born in Denver, Colorado in 1889 of middle-class parents. Little is known of his early traces, and only a glimpse of his formative years is recorded. As he approached his teens, it became apparent that he would not follow his father's trade (a seller of farm implements), but would choose to pursue the sciences and things electrical and mechanical. Being a solitary youth, altogether self-sufficient and confident, he was certain that his fascination with the marvels of a new technological age would lead to something. Although he tolerated, formal schooling, he found pleasure in his own experimentation and investigation. In his teens, he assembled a wireless telegraph, engineered a steam engine, ground a lens for a reflecting telescope, and designed and built his own photographic laboratory. During his final year in high school, a course in mechanical drawing led to his first job in architecture. Ernst P. Varian, a Denver Architect of considerable prestige, had de- signed, among other buildings, the Denver Athletic Club, The First Church of Christ Scientist, and the Antlers Hotel in Colorado Springs. It is believed that his office offered Piers his first employment as a draftsman. While at this work and during his subsequent employment in the office of Walter Ware, Piers studied and became familiar with the work of the Chicago School of Architects; namely Jenny, Sullivan and Wright. These early impressions and his enthusiasm for this new architecture encouraged him to enroll in the School of Architectural Engineering at the University of Colorado. After a year of dissatisfaction and disillusionment in what he termed "second-rate exercises in Ecole des Beaux-Arts", Piers elected to leave the school for employment in Ogden, Utah. Julius A. Smith, Carpenter, Bridge Builder, and Architect was the senior partner in the firm of Smith & Hodgson. The office was in need of a draftsman to complete the drawings for a new Ogden High School at 25th & Monroe. In 1908 at the age of 19, Piers accepted the job. At that time, in Ogden, Architecture and the state of the art was in its infancy. After two years of employment, Piers left Smith & Hodgson and opened his own office. The growth of the Piers' office was not immediate; the work was sparse and commissions were small. The Mrs. George E. Maule residence was a different kind of house. Built in 1911, this dwelling, unlike the ubiquitous and stylized revivals, stood apart. It expressed a sympathy for its surroundings and filled the needs of its Owner. This unadorned structure borrowed strength from those things "organic" much like the Prairie Houses of Frank Lloyd Wright. The wide protective eves, the low horizontal lines, and the unbroken fenestration, lent a feeling of shelter and composure to the house. There was no need to plaster mongrel ornaments of a past era on this; it had its own identity and beauty. The plan was unique. The usual ostentatious front entry was conspicuously missing and was replaced by an informal side entry, sheltered by a porte-cochere. The interior, likened to the exterior, was faithful to the entire scheme. Marked by low ceilings, open and flowing spaces, and the omnipresent: window, the interior created a sense of protection without sacrificing a necessary abundance of light and ventilation. To complete the scheme, an innovative system of hot water radiation was introduced at strategic areas to provide zones of draftless comfort in wintery Ogden. Billings as set forth were: To - Professional Services Rendered - 5% on $11,907.37 $595.37 To Dining Rm. Freize 72 hrs. @ 75¢ an hr. 54.00 Total Fee Due $649.37 Other residential projects followed, notably, the dwellings for E. 0. Wattis, Mariner Browning, and J. S. Lewis. The Royal Eccles residence was the last in a distinctive line of buildings dedicated to the Architect's principle that "all buildings should be firstly an expression of honesty, harmonizing the emotional and functional needs of its occupants and surroundings." The Berthana Ball Room, "The most beautiful ball room in the West", was dedicated in 1915 by Governor Spry. In that year bachelor Piers was married to Mary Rae Keck, step daughter to Julius A. Smith, former boss, now retired. More commissions followed, but always the boyhood craving for experiment and invention was present. At the age of 27, the self-taught Architect had created more than fifty original inventions, including the first automotive disk brakes, a glare-proof automobile light, a series of electric boiler controls, a modulating steam valve, and many other inven- tions. Later, he developed a piston wheel drive for steam cars and a helicopter that utilized the principle of the centrifugal fan for its main source of lift. At the time of his death, Piers had over 150 inventions to his credit. The year was 1917; the country was at war. Piers, after turning his practice over to Charles Wood, enlisted in the Navy Air Corps. His training in San Diego led to a commission as Ensign. His first assignment was to the Office of Assistant Secretary of the Navy, who at that time was Franklin D. Roosevelt. After a short stay, Piers was sent to M.I.T. for specialized training in Aeronautical Engineering - courses that later would prove in- valuable in his profession. He was discharged in December of 1918 with the commission of Lt. j.g. Following the war, Ogden began a new decade of growth and prosperity. Ten years had passed and Piers was now a seasoned Architect and Engineer. He designed many buildings during the twenties; the work flowed in and the jobs became larger and more complex. Those of particular note were: The Central Junior High School - important for its innovative contribution to the development of mechanical air handling systems. The St. Joseph's Parochial School - one of the first reinforced concrete framed structures in the West. The First National Bank and Office Building - a twelve-story edifice that had as its foundation a continuous "raft" of reinforced concrete in twelve feet of water, resting on a sea of mud - a remarkable engineering feat considering the technology of the times. Possibly more remarkable, however, were the efforts of the Architect. Single handedly, he designed the building, engineered the structure, developed the mechanical systems, and supervised the construction. In the spring of 1929, the stock market was on the wildest binge it had ever known. Everyone was making money; however, there were some ominous signs. Construction was down. An uneasiness in foreign markets signaled the crash; and what a crash it was. Overnight, entire businesses were wiped out; Piers was no exception. His stately office atop the new Bank was closed. With the aid of his oldest son, he began to build a temporary office in the basement of his home. All the excavation was done by hand, the walls were formed, and the hand-mixed concrete was put into place. After a year of hard work, the project was complete with drafting room, private office, work shop, and dark room. It was a monumental task accomplished with limited funds and the sole aid of a 13 year old boy. The depression deepened; bank after bank failed and closed their doors In the winter of '32, soup lines were formed and fourteen million workers were unemployed. The New Deal arrived in 1933 and a new president told the nation "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." N.I.R.A., W. P. A., P.W.A., and other programs were initiated to stem the ravaqes of depression Some worked - others failed; some were illegal, but the Roosevelt package of social reform had been accepted. The nation was recovering; for the first time, the Federal Government was the Architect's major client. At first, jobs were scarce, but as the nation gained confidence building started its upward climb. Bureaus sprang up overnight; public works projects were advertized; and within a short time, commissions for schools, hospitals, prisons, reformatories and public buildings were up for grabs. The competition was fierce and "bigness" brought big commissions The game of political football was on. In the summer of 1935, Piers moved from his basement quarters to the Bank Building he had known so well. He had been awarded a few Federal projects, but the work was not the same. The order of the day was "Get the job out.' Employ some people! Complete the paper work! Make an impression!" This was a different kind of architectural excellence In spite of governmental controls and political intervention, Piers successfully completed: Boy's Dormitory - Deaf and Blind School Education Building - Industrial School North Ogden Junior High - Weber School District Utah State Tuberculosis Sanitarium - Ogden, Utah El Monte Golf House - Ogden City As the nation approached the forties, new problems set in. The economy was in another decline, and public works were at a standstill. It would take a major war to avoid another depression. War was declared; the work had stopped and Piers returned to his hand-built office. After two surgical operations and three years of inactivity, Piers was again at work; however, war, depression and sickness had tempered his spirit The last major works of Eber F. Piers, Architect and Engineer, were the Administration Building at the Ogden Airport, (a partially completed struc- ture), and the Weber County Memorial Auditorium,(a building never built due to a lack in public support). John L. Piers, the second son of Eber Piers, joined his father in partnership in the summer of 1952. He was confident that the dormant practice of his father could be revived. A new building boom was on. was eager to make his contribution to the firm. As the office grew, the work became plentiful - deadlines had to be met; draftsmen and consultants were hired to meet the demands of the times. Eber Piers, the "total architect", who had singularly nurtured each project, found the fast pace and quick solutions of the fifties unsuited to his stylo. The work carried on, but the aging Architect, his health failing, retired to the solitude of his private office. On December 20, 1961, Eber Piers died. He was 12. It might be said that the life of Eber Piers was fraught with dis-appointments and misfortune. But this man of restless spirit found pleasure in the excitement of invention and creation of his buildings. Seemingly not a happy life, but for him, it was an enchanting way, full of wonder, self- fulfillment and appeal. 9

This is the first thread of the Monster Book project (in case you're wondering, it was named that for lack of a better name, and because it sounds like a name a young'un would give to the book). In this thread, we're brainstorming various ideas for monsters. Once we have at least 50 monster ideas (or less, depending on how well this thread does), I'll create the next thread, which is refinement. After that will come the final thread, the true Monster Book. Kudos to Shenron for the original idea!
Anybody can post an idea for a monster, at which point we'll try and define it a bit more clearly until we have enough information for refinement in the next thread.

Disgraced Baptist pastor: Please don't blame my victim or her family
BY Teresa Auch Schultz firstname.lastname@example.com March 20, 2013 12:26PM

Updated: April 22, 2013 12:03PM
Repentance flowed from former First Baptist Church of Hammond pastor Jack Schaap's mouth at his sentencing hearing Wednesday morning as he accepted responsibility for seducing a 17-year-old girl and telling her their sexual relationship was fulfilling God's will, even pleading with his former congregation to stop blaming the victim.
"If you love me, please don't blame this family for my wrongdoing," the 55-year-old man, who has been in jail since his arrest last summer, told a packed courtroom during the hearing at U.S. District Court in Hammond.
U.S. District Judge Rudy Lozano didn't buy that Schaap came clean with his crime from the start, however, noting the pastor fired at least one employee and asked another one repeatedly to destroy evidence of his crime before Schaap finally agreed to plead guilty to one count of having a minor transported across state lines for sexual relations.
That's partly why Lozano did not grant federal attorneys' request to sentence Schaap to 10 years in prison, the mandatory minimum sentence on the charge, and instead sentenced Schaap to 12 years in prison, along with five years of supervised release, the judge said.
The sentence, which ends the criminal scandal that hit one of the country's largest megachurches last summer, is still less than the range of 168 months to 210 months, which federal sentencing guidelines had recommended. About 100 people from the community showed up to hear the judge's ruling, although about 40 people didn't make it inside the courtroom.
Crime 'very serious'
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jill Koster argued during the hearing Wednesday that although 10 years fell below the guideline range, Schaap had saved the government from expending resources on the case and the victim from going through the torture of a trial by agreeing to plead guilty even before he was charged.
"That's a very difficult time for a victim," Koster said of the period before a trial takes place.
Koster noted that this could also encourage other people facing similar charges to also plead guilty early on.
Lozano said he understood the benefits of that but was concerned about setting a precedent of slashing so much time, in this case almost four years, from the guideline range of a crime he considers "very serious."
"We're dealing with the treasures that are most important to us: our children," Lozano said.
The judge did speak of the good work Schaap has done as pastor of First Baptist, one of the country's largest churches, such as starting programs to help pregnant teenagers, senior citizens and people with substance abuse addictions. However, the judge spent most of the hour he spoke focusing on the facts of the case and how the crime developed.
Records from federal attorneys show that Schaap started counseling the girl last spring after she was expelled from First Baptist's high school because of a sexual relationship she had with someone else. A school administrator wrote to Schaap that the girl was hurt and confused at the time and that the administrator had convinced her to trust her church leaders and let them make decisions for her.
"The administrator further writes that the victim is willing to trust her leaders but is very scared," Lozano said.
The administrator then asked Schaap to counsel her.
Employee fired
Schaap did so, and from the beginning took improper steps toward the girl, Lozano said. Church rules state that someone counseling a person of the opposite sex should not have closed-door sessions for more than 20 minutes. Schaap's first session with the girl, who had attended the church for most of her life, lasted two hours behind a closed door. One session lasted six hours.
When staff questioned him on it, Lozano said, he responded by saying, "I made the rule, and I can break it."
Federal attorneys say they found evidence on Schaap's computer that he searched for the legal ramifications of what he did and that he also fooled a church employee into taking the girl to Illinois and Michigan for him by claiming the girl needed one-on-one counseling time with him. He also wrote her two letters and an email, most of which talk about how their relationship was holy and that, through it, he was helping to save her life.
"I tried to craftily catch your heart so that I could lead you into a better life," Schaap wrote at one point.
He also wrote that God wanted them to be husband and wife and that he was leading her to a "better path of living — that's what we call Righteousness."
Lozano said he was concerned how Schaap used his power as a pastor and the fact that the girl had been taught her whole life to obey church leaders to "mold her into what you wanted."
When a church technology employee finally found photos of Schaap with the victim, he told another church employee, who then approached Schaap's wife. That's when Schaap held a six-hour meeting with church employees, railing at them for their lack of loyalty and for questioning his actions. He then fired the one employee and later asked the technology employee if he could delete the photos and the more than 600 texts between Schaap and the victim.
The employee instead downloaded the photos and took them to other church officials, who went to the local law enforcement around the end of July.
'Buck stops with Schaap'
Schaap, wearing his short hair still neatly combed to the side, apologized to the girl and her family, saying he had betrayed their trust.
"In trying to be a good pastor, I became a fool," Schaap said.
He also likened himself to people who want to rescue a drowning person only to drown themselves.
"Sometimes rescuers take risks they have no business taking," the former pastor said.
Federal attorney Koster disputed that, saying Schaap never intended to rescue the girl.
"This wasn't a risk taken by a rescuer trying to help a victim," she said.
Schaap also apologized to his wife and children, thanking them for standing by him, and appealed to First Baptist to heal the rift his crime committed. His attorney, Paul Stracci, also spoke directly to the audience of the need to accept that Schaap was solely responsible for the crime.
"Let there be no question: The buck stops with Jack Schaap," Stracci said.
Stracci did stress his client's cooperation, noting that Schaap agreed to the guilty plea just four days after the government first offered it to him and without the benefit of seeing the government's evidence or many of his other legal rights. Schaap also called the victim's father to apologize and stress that the crime was his fault.
Schaap has also lost his career and knows he committed wrong "on many levels," the attorney said.
"He knows it every day he wakes up, he knows it every time he looks in the mirror, and he knows it every time he can't sleep at night," Stracci said.
Schaap's plea agreement wasn't completely selfless, however, Lozano argued. The judge said he thinks Schaap agreed to plead guilty so quickly partly because the government's case against him was so strong. Federal attorneys also reached agreements with Illinois, Michigan and Indiana to not press their own charges against Schaap.
No restitution was ordered after medical officials said they needed more time to estimate how much medical help the victim will need throughout her life. Federal attorneys said the girl's family wanted to put the case behind them and will instead seek restitution through other means.
First Baptist officials said in a news release Wednesday afternoon that they thought the criminal justice system had been fair in the case. "We are also glad that our church family can now move beyond this situation and can continue the healing process," spokesman Eddie Wilson said.
He did not respond to questions regarding the comments made at trial about the church expelling the victim's family as members.
One former church member, Sarah, who sat through the sentencing hearing said she understands why the judge gave Schaap 12 years but said she thinks he should still serve more time. Sarah, who declined to give her last name because of threats other people have received from church members in the past, said she was most concerned that Lozano encouraged Schaap to preach while in prison.
"My impression of that man is that he's an egomaniac ... and standing in front of a crowd and being respected as some oracle of wisdom only serves to feed that ego," she said.
She also said his call for the church to not blame the victims was "too little, too late." Although some members might change their ways, she said, she doubted the congregation as a whole and people in power would.

Though the rug was nice, but the color I ordered (black) was so different than the rug I received that I checked my order summary email with the packing slip to make sure I received the correct rug. Do not order if you want a gray and black rug as pictured. It was a tan with black. RugsUSA was very good with the return and past rugs I ordered from them were very nice, so I would order from them again.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.For the price point of this product I would recommend purchase. Just be careful because the colors displayed over the net are not the true colors of the product. We ordered the black because it showed gray and various shades of black in the center. When we received the rug there was not any gray or various shades of black. The center was predominantly creme or neutral color.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Beautiful rug - great delivery time!
The quality of this rug was fine but it did not look like the picture at all. I ordered black and it had more taupe/beige than black in it.

June 19, 2012 - 12:13pm
I have been an Aviation Attorney for over 27 years. 15 years as US Government (FAA Attorney) and the remainder outside in private practice. I read your article on NTSB and its consciousness. I have been involved in many accident investigation lawsuits etc ... for years.
The NTSB has several inherent problems. Its investigations permit the manufacturer to "participate" in the investigation primarily as a result of the lack of knowledge of the NTSB investigators. As a result a party who may have civil liability is effectively controlling the investigation.
One example involved the Challenger 600 crash in Teterboro, NJ. The NTSB concluded that the cause of the accident was that the aircraft was overweight. This weight issue did not come to light until after the Challenger employees were permitted to "participate" in the investigation. Effectively the Challenger participants determined the cause of the accident.
The result ended in a criminal investigation against the operators of the aircraft. The Justice Department criminally prosecuted the operators for falsifying records concerning the weight of the aircraft. The Department of Justice demanded years in prison.
Federal Judge (Cavanaugh) after hearing from all of the experts and fact witnesses, determined the cause of the accident was the result of mechanical malfunction. His findings and holding was 180% opposite to that of the NTSB. Most of the the other Defendants were either dismissed or not prosecuted. The two remaining Defendants were given light sentences for minor crimes unrelated to the cause of the accident.
The latest debacle concerning the NTSB involved an accident that occurred in Weaverville, CA. I was part of the trail team and referred the matter to an aviation firm as a result of costs. The accident involved an S-61 Helicopter that crashed while fighting a forest fire near the California and Oregon border. Nine firefighters were killed and four were badly injured.
The NTSB originally concluded that the General Electric engine failed as a result of defective filter causing fuel contamination. When General Electric was permitted to participate in the investigation, however, the cause suddenly shifted away from the General Electric's engine to the pilots and operators of the aircraft. The NTSB quickly adopted General Electric's litigation defense asserting that the aircraft was overweight.
Despite the NTSB's new conclusion, General Electric was sued for negligence for failing to notify the FAA of the malfunctioning of its engines. At the trial, the evidence clearly established that General Electric had knowledge of the malfunctioning system as far back as 1971. The evidence also showed that soon after General Electric became involved in the accident investigation, parts related to the cause of the accident were lost or intentionally destroyed. Those parts were critical to determine whether the fuel system had malfunctioned.
Moreover, the FAA sent a team of its investigators to the operators facility to determine whether the aircraft was overweight as asserted by the NTSB and General Electric. It is clear that the jury found the NTSB and General Electric's theory of the cause of the accident was nonsense and awarded two of the victims over $70 million in damages. Once again, the NTSB's conclusion in favor of the manufacturer was found to be unadulterated nonsense.
As a former US Government attorney, I have personally written the NTSB to change its policy concerning its approach to accident investigations. All were returned by the NTSB asserting that I was possibly influencing cases where I may represent the operators or other parties in FAA enforcement actions.
Finally, I raise another case involving Senator Stevens who was killed in an aviation accident while on a fishing trip in Alaska. I am not involved in the case except that a childhood friend of mine was a survivor of the accident. He worked on Capitol Hill for years and has significant influence notwithstanding he is not an elected official. My brother and I had lunch with him and he indicated that he had been interviewed by the Chairman of the NTSB. He informed us that the NTSB Chairman was more interested in upward political mobility than the accident.
The point is that the NTSB is not qualified to perform complex aviation accident investigations. Accordingly, the NTSB invites the manufacturers to assist in determining the cause of the accident. Inherently, a manufacturers of a product or component part of an aircraft has no motivation to find its product the cause of an accident. The concern is that the only motivation of a product manufacturer is to redirect the blame away from its product.
With all due respect to the NTSB, unbiased investigations will never occur when the manufacturer of an aircraft or component part of an aircraft are permitted to "participate" in investigations that may or may not lead to legal liability as a result of the failure of the manufacturer's product.
Finally, those with political ambitions should not be involved in determining or, in this case, changing the original "cause" of an accident away from a politically powerful corporation. It does not warrant comment that the cause of the accident was changed only after General Electric, one of the world largest companies with immeasurable political influence became involved in the accident investigation.

About pwlladeryn's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
About my passion for cars. mmm. Not just cars but anything with wheels on. As a 15 year old I rode for the Edmonton Saints Cycle Speedway team. I was so good that I was number 7 in the reserve team. Then I graduated to motor bikes. My cousins all raced but I never got into competion. Then after a few attempts to at killing myself I decided that four wheels were safer.
In the lat fifties I helped my brother convert a Ford Popular into a an Ashley Special (Kit Cars were called specials in those days). I was co-opted as his navigator and spent many happy nights trying to map read in the dark while we thrashed arounbd the lanes of Hertfordshire and nearby counties. All illegal now.
No motor bikes now but I do own a couple of Electric mountain bikes. Off the road for the time being due to lack of money.
My first car
A 1959 Morris Minor 1000. It ended up with various goodies on it and in the early sixties being belted around various circuits in the summer and rallies in the winter. Normally in the top 5 with the rare first.
Car I wish I still had
My Morris Minor 1000.
My dream car
A 1929 Bentley Speed Six. I've wanted one since I was about 8 years old and still do.

text:
The design here is to remind of Christ's final coming to judgement. (1-4) He will appear unexpectedly, when the present frame of nature will be dissolved by fire. (5-10) From thence is inferred the need for holiness, and stedfastness in the faith. (11-18)
Verses 1-4 The purified minds of Christians are to be stirred up, that they may be active and lively in the work of holiness. There will be scoffers in the last days, under the gospel, men who make light of sin, and mock at salvation by Jesus Christ. One very principal article of our faith refers to what only has a promise to rest upon, and scoffers will attack it till our Lord is come. They will not believe that he will come. Because they see no changes, therefore they fear not God, ( Psalms 55:19 ) . What he never has done, they fancy he never can do, or never will do.
Verses 5-10 Had these scoffers considered the dreadful vengeance with which God swept away a whole world of ungodly men at once, surely they would not have scoffed at his threatening an equally terrible judgment. The heavens and the earth which now are, by the same word, it is declared, will be destroyed by fire. This is as sure to come, as the truth and the power of God can make it. Christians are here taught and established in the truth of the coming of the Lord. Though, in the account of men, there is a vast difference between one day and a thousand years, yet, in the account of God, there is no difference. All things past, present, and future, are ever before him: the delay of a thousand years cannot be so much to him, as putting off any thing for a day or for an hour is to us. If men have no knowledge or belief of the eternal God, they will be very apt to think him such as themselves. How hard is it to form any thoughts of eternity! What men count slackness, is long-suffering, and that to us-ward; it is giving more time to hisown people, to advance in knowledge and holiness, and in the exercise of faith and patience, to abound in good works, doing and suffering what they are called to, that they may bring glory to God. Settle therefore in your hearts that you shall certainly be called to give an account of all things done in the body, whether good or evil. And let a humble and diligent walking before God, and a frequent judging of yourselves, show a firm belief of the future judgment, though many live as if they were never to give any account at all. This day will come, when men are secure, and have no expectation of the day of the Lord. The stately palaces, and all the desirable things wherein wordly-minded men seek and place their happiness, shall be burned up; all sorts of creatures God has made, and all the works of men, must pass through the fire, which shall be a consuming fire to all that sin has brought into the world, though a refining fire to the works of God's hand. What will become of us, if we set our affections on this earth, and make it our portion, seeing all these things shall be burned up? Therefore make sure of happiness beyond this visible world.
Verses 11-18 From the doctrine of Christ's second coming, we are exhorted to purity and godliness. This is the effect of real knowledge. Very exact and universal holiness is enjoined, not resting in any low measure or degree. True Christians look for new heavens and a new earth; freed from the vanity to which things present are subject, and the sin they are polluted with. Those only who are clothed with the righteousness of Christ, and sanctified by the Holy Ghost, shall be admitted to dwell in this holy place. He is faithful, who has promised. Those, whose sins are pardoned, and their peace made with God, are the only safe and happy people; therefore follow after peace, and that with all men; follow after holiness as well as peace. Never expect to be found at that day of God in peace, if you are lazy and idle in this your day, in which we must finish the work given us to do. Only the diligent Christian will be the happy Christian in the day of the Lord. Our Lord will suddenly come to us, or shortly call us to him; and shall he find us idle? Learn to make a right use of the patience of our Lord, who as yet delays his coming. Proud, carnal, and corrupt men, seek to wrest some things into a seeming agreement with their wicked doctrines. But this is no reason why St. Paul's epistles, or any other part of the Scriptures, should be laid aside; for men, left to themselves, pervert every gift of God. Then let us seek to have our minds prepared for receiving things hard to be understood, by putting in practice things which are more easy to be understood. But there must be self-denial and suspicion of ourselves, and submission to the authority of Christ Jesus, before we can heartily receive all the truths of the gospel, therefore we are in great danger of rejecting the truth. And whatever opinions and thoughts of men are not according to the law of God, and warranted by it, the believer disclaims and abhors. Those who are led away by error, fall from their own stedfastness. And that we may avoid being led away, we must seek to grow in all grace, in faith, and virtue, and knowledge. Labour to know Christ more clearly, and more fully; to know him so as to be more like him, and to love him better. This is the knowledge of Christ, which the apostle Paul reached after, and desired to attain; and those who taste this effect of the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, will, upon receiving such grace from him, give thanks and praise him, and join in ascribing glory to him now, in the full assurance of doing the same hereafter, for ever.
2 Peter 3:1-18 . SURENESS OF CHRIST'S COMING, AND ITS ACCOMPANIMENTS, DECLARED IN OPPOSITION TO SCOFFERS ABOUT TO ARISE. GOD'S LONG SUFFERING A MOTIVE TO REPENTANCE, AS PAUL'S EPISTLES SET FORTH; CONCLUDING EXHORTATION TO GROWTH IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST.
1. now--"This now a second Epistle I write." Therefore he had lately written the former Epistle. The seven Catholic Epistles were written by James, John, and Jude, shortly before their deaths; previously, while having the prospect of being still for some time alive, they felt it less necessary to write [BENGEL].
unto you--The Second Epistle, though more general in its address, yet included especially the same persons as the First Epistle was particularly addressed to.
pure--literally, "pure when examined by sunlight"; "sincere." Adulterated with no error. Opposite to "having the understanding darkened." ALFORD explains, The mind, will, and affection, in relation to the outer world, being turned to God [the Sun of the soul], and not obscured by fleshly and selfish regards.
by way of--Greek, "in," "in putting you in remembrance" ( 2 Peter 1:12 2 Peter 1:13 ). Ye already know ( 2 Peter 3:3 ); it is only needed that I remind you ( Jude 1:5 ).
2. prophets--of the Old Testament.
of us--The oldest manuscripts and Vulgate read, "And of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour (declared) by YOUR apostles" (so "apostle of the Gentiles," Romans 11:13 )--the apostles who live among you in the present time, in contrast to the Old Testament "prophets."
3. Knowing this first--from the word of the apostles.
shall come--Their very scoffing shall confirm the truth of the prediction.
scoffers--The oldest manuscripts and Vulgate add, "(scoffers) in (that is, 'with') scoffing." As Revelation 14:2 , "harping with harps."
walking after their own lusts--( 2 Peter 2:10 , Jude 1:16 Jude 1:18 ). Their own pleasure is their sole law, unrestrained by reverence for God.
4. (Compare Psalms 10:11 , 73:11 .) Presumptuous skepticism and lawless lust, setting nature and its so-called laws above the God of nature and revelation, and arguing from the past continuity of nature's phenomena that there can be no future interruption to them, was the sin of the antediluvians, and shall be that of the scoffers in the last days.
Where--implying that it ought to have taken place before this, if ever it was to take place, but that it never will.
the promise--which you, believers, are so continually looking for the fulfilment of ( 2 Peter 3:13 ). What becomes of the promise which you talk so much of?
his--Christ's; the subject of prophecy from the earliest days.
the fathers--to whom the promise was made, and who rested all their hopes on it.
all things--in the natural world; skeptics look not beyond this.
as they were--continue as they do; as we see them to continue. From the time of the promise of Christ's coming as Saviour and King being given to the fathers, down to the present time, all things continue, and have continued, as they now are, from "the beginning of creation." The "scoffers" here are not necessarily atheists, nor do they maintain that the world existed from eternity. They are willing to recognize a God, but not the God of revelation. They reason from seeming delay against the fulfilment of God's word at all.
5. Refutation of their scoffing from Scripture history.
willingly--wilfully; they do not wish to know. Their ignorance is voluntary.
they . . . are ignorant of--in contrast to 2 Peter 3:8 , "Be not ignorant of this." Literally, in both verses, "This escapes THEIR notice (sagacious philosophers though they think themselves)"; "let this not escape YOUR notice." They obstinately shut their eyes to the Scripture record of the creation and the deluge; the latter is the very parallel to the coming judgment by fire, which Jesus mentions, as Peter doubtless remembered.
by the word of God--not by a fortuitous concurrence of atoms [ALFORD].
of old--Greek, "from of old"; from the first. beginning of all things. A confutation of their objection, "all things continue as they were FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION." Before the flood, the same objection to the possibility of the flood might have been urged with the same plausibility: The heavens (sky) and earth have been FROM OF OLD, how unlikely then that they should not continue so! But, replies Peter, the flood came in spite of their reasonings; so will the conflagration of the earth come in spite of the "scoffers" of the last days, changing the whole order of things (the present "world," or as Greek means, "order"), and introducing the new heavens and earth ( 2 Peter 3:13 ).
earth standing out of--Greek, "consisting of," that is, "formed out of the water." The waters under the firmament were at creation gathered together into one place, and the dry land emerged out of and above, them.
in, &c.--rather, "by means of the water," as a great instrument (along with fire) in the changes wrought on the earth's surface to prepare it for man. Held together BY the water. The earth arose out of the water by the efficacy of the water itself [TITTMANN].
6. Whereby--Greek, "By which" (plural). By means of which heavens and earth (in respect to the WATERS which flowed together from both) the then world perished (that is, in respect to its occupants, men and animals, and its then existing order: not was annihilated); for in the flood "the fountains of the great deep were broken up" from the earth (1) below, and "the windows of heaven" (2) above "were opened." The earth was deluged by that water out of which it had originally risen.
7. (Compare Job 28:5 , end).
which are now--"the postdiluvian visible world." In contrast to "that then was," 2 Peter 3:6 .
the same--Other oldest manuscripts read, "His" (God's).
kept in store--Greek, "treasured up."
reserved--"kept." It is only God's constantly watchful providence which holds together the present state of things till His time for ending it.
8. be not ignorant--as those scoffers are ( 2 Peter 3:5 ). Besides the refutation of them ( 2 Peter 3:5-7 ) drawn from the history of the deluge, here he adds another (addressed more to believers than to the mockers): God's delay in fulfilling His promise is not, like men's delays, owing to inability or fickleness in keeping His word, but through "long-suffering."
this one thing--as the consideration of chief importance ( Luke 10:42 ).
one day . . . thousand years--( Psalms 90:4 ): Moses there says, Thy eternity, knowing no distinction between a thousand years and a day, is the refuge of us creatures of a day. Peter views God's eternity in relation to the last day: that day seems to us, short-lived beings, long in coming, but with the Lord the interval is irrespective of the idea of long or short. His eternity exceeds all measures of time: to His divine knowledge all future things are present: His power requires not long delays for the performance of His work: His long-suffering excludes all impatient expectation and eager haste, such as we men feel. He is equally blessed in one day and in a thousand years. He can do the work of a thousand years in one day: so in 2 Peter 3:9 it is said, "He is not slack," that is, "slow": He has always the power to fulfil His "promise."
thousand years as one day--No delay which occurs is long to God: as to a man of countless riches, a thousand dollars are as a single penny. God's æonologe (eternal-ages measurer) differs wholly from man's horologe (hour-glass). His gnomon (dial-pointer) shows all the hours at once in the greatest activity and in perfect repose. To Him the hours pass away, neither more slowly, nor more quickly, than befits His economy. There is nothing to make Him need either to hasten or delay the end. The words, "with the Lord" ( Psalms 90:4 , "In Thy sight"), silence all man's objections on the ground of his incapability of understanding this [BENGEL].
9. slack--slow, tardy, late; exceeding the due time, as though that time were already come. Hebrews 10:37 , "will not tarry."
his promise--which the scoffers cavil at. 2 Peter 3:4 , "Where is the promise?" It shall be surely fulfilled "according to His promise" ( 2 Peter 3:13 ).
some--the "scoffers."
count--His promise to be the result of "slackness" (tardiness).
long-suffering--waiting until the full number of those appointed to "salvation" ( 2 Peter 3:15 ) shall be completed.
to us-ward--The oldest manuscripts, Vulgate, Syriac, &c. read, "towards YOU."
any--not desiring that any, yea, even that the scoffers, should perish, which would be the result if He did not give space for repentance.
come--go and be received to repentance: the Greek implies there is room for their being received to repentance (compare Greek, 2:2 , John 8:37 ).
10. The certainty, suddenness, and concomitant effects, of the coming of the day of the Lord. FABER argues from this that the millennium, &c., must precede Christ's literal coming, not follow it. But "the day of the Lord" comprehends the whole series of events, beginning with the pre-millennial advent, and ending with the destruction of the wicked, and final conflagration, and general judgment (which last intervenes between the conflagration and the renovation of the earth).
will--emphatical. But (in spite of the mockers, and notwithstanding the delay) come and be present the day of the Lord SHALL.
as a thief--Peter remembers and repeats his Lord's image ( Luke 12:39 Luke 12:41 ) used in the conversation in which he took a part; so also Paul ( 1 Thessalonians 5:2 ) and John ( Revelation 3:3 , 16:15 ).
the heavens--which the scoffers say' shall "continue" as they are ( 2 Peter 3:4 , Matthew 24:35 , Revelation 21:1 ).
with a great noise--with a rushing noise, like that of a whizzing arrow, or the crash of a devouring flame.
elements--the component materials of the world [WAHL]. However, as "the works" in the earth are mentioned separately from "the earth," so it is likely by "elements," mentioned after "the heavens," are meant "the works therein," namely, the sun, moon, and stars (as THEOPHILUS OF ANTIOCH [p. 22, 148, 228]; and JUSTIN MARTYR [Apology, 2.44], use the word "elements"): these, as at creation, so in the destruction of the world, are mentioned [BENGEL]. But as "elements" is not so used in Scripture Greek, perhaps it refers to the component materials of "the heavens," including the heavenly bodies; it clearly belongs to the former clause, "the heavens," not to the following, "the earth," &c.
melt--be dissolved, as in 2 Peter 3:11 .
the works . . . therein--of nature and of art.
11. Your duty, seeing that this is so, is to be ever eagerly expecting the day of God.
then--Some oldest manuscripts substitute "thus" for "then": a happy refutation of the "thus" of the scoffers, 2 Peter 3:4 (English Version, "As they were," Greek, "thus").
shall be--Greek, "are being (in God's appointment, soon to be fulfilled) dissolved"; the present tense implying the certainty as though it were actually present.
what manner of men--exclamatory. How watchful, prayerful, zealous!
to be--not the mere Greek substantive verb of existence (einai), but (huparchein) denoting a state or condition in which one is supposed to be [TITTMANN]. What holy men ye ought to be found to be, when the event comes! This is "the holy commandment" mentioned in 2 Peter 3:2 .
conversation . . . godliness--Greek, plural: behaviors (towards men), godlinesses (or pieties towards God) in their manifold modes of manifestation.
12. hasting unto--with the utmost eagerness desiring [WAHL], praying for, and contemplating, the coming Saviour as at hand. The Greek may mean "hastening (that is, urging onward [ALFORD]) the day of God"; not that God's eternal appointment of the time is changeable, but God appoints us as instruments of accomplishing those events which must be first before the day of God can come. By praying for His coming, furthering the preaching of the Gospel for a witness to all nations, and bringing in those whom "the long-suffering of God" waits to save, we hasten the coming of the day of God. The Greek verb is always in New Testament used as neuter (as English Version here), not active; but the Septuagint uses it actively. Christ says, "Surely I come quickly. Amen." Our part is to speed forward this consummation by praying, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus" ( Revelation 22:20 ).
the coming--Greek, "presence" of a person: usually, of the Saviour.
the day of God--God has given many myriads of days to men: one shall be the great "day of God" Himself.
wherein--rather as Greek, "on account of (or owing to) which" day.
heavens--the upper and lower regions of the sky.
melt--Our igneous rocks show that they were once in a liquid state.
13. Nevertheless--"But": in contrast to the destructive effects of the day of God stand its constructive effects. As the flood was the baptism of the earth, eventuating in a renovated earth, partially delivered from "the curse," so the baptism with fire shall purify the earth so as to be the renovated abode of regenerated man, wholly freed from the curse.
his promise--( Isaiah 65:17 , 66:22 ). The "we" is not emphatical as in English Version.
new heavens--new atmospheric heavens surrounding the renovated earth.
righteousness--dwelleth in that coming world as its essential feature, all pollutions having been removed.
14. that ye . . . be found of him--"in His sight" [ALFORD], at His coming; plainly implying a personal coming.
without spot--at the coming marriage feast of the Lamb, in contrast to 2 Peter 2:13 , "Spots they are and blemishes while they feast," not having on the King's pure wedding garment.
blameless--( 1 Corinthians 1:8 , Philippians 1:10 , 1 Thessalonians 3:13 , 5:23 ).
in peace--in all its aspects, towards God, your own consciences, and your fellow men, and as its consequence eternal blessedness: "the God of peace" will effect this for you.
15. account . . . the long-suffering . . . is salvation--is designed for the salvation of those yet to be gathered into the Church: whereas those scoffers "count it (to be the result of) slackness" on the Lord's part ( 2 Peter 3:9 ).
our beloved brother Paul--a beautiful instance of love and humility. Peter praises the very Epistles which contain his condemnation.
according to the wisdom given unto him--adopting Paul's own language, 1 Corinthians 3:10 , "According to the grace of God which is given unto me as a wise master-builder." Supernatural and inspired wisdom "GIVEN" him, not acquired in human schools of learning.
hath written--Greek aorist, "wrote," as a thing wholly past: Paul was by this time either dead, or had ceased to minister to them.
to you--Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, the same region as Peter addresses. Compare "in peace," 2 Peter 3:14 , a practical exhibition of which Peter now gives in showing how perfectly agreeing Paul (who wrote the Epistle to the Galatians) and he are, notwithstanding the event recorded ( Galatians 2:11-14 ). Colossians 3:4 refers to Christ's second coming. The Epistle to the Hebrews, too (addressed not only to the Palestinian, but also secondarily to the Hebrew Christians everywhere), may be referred to, as Peter primarily (though not exclusively) addresses in both Epistles the Hebrew Christians of the dispersion Hebrews 9:27 Hebrews 9:28 , Hebrews 10:25 Hebrews 10:37 , "speak of these things" ( 2 Peter 3:16 ) which Peter has been handling, namely, the coming of the day of the Lord, delayed through His "long-suffering," yet near and sudden.
16. also in all his epistles-- Romans 2:4 is very similar to 2 Peter 3:15 , beginning. The Pauline Epistles were by this time become the common property of all the churches. The "all" seems to imply they were now completed. The subject of the Lord's coming is handled in 1 Thessalonians 4:13 , 5:11 ; compare 2 Peter 3:10 with 1 Thessalonians 5:2 . Still Peter distinguishes Paul's Epistle, or Epistles, "TO YOU," from "all his (other) Epistles," showing that certain definite churches, or particular classes of believers, are meant by "you."
in which--Epistles. The oldest manuscripts read the feminine relative (hais); not as Received Text (hois), "in which things."
some things hard to be understood--namely, in reference to Christ's coming, for example, the statements as to the man of sin and the apostasy, before Christ's coming. "Paul seemed thereby to delay Christ's coming to a longer period than the other apostles, whence some doubted altogether His coming" [BENGEL]. Though there be some things hard to be understood, there are enough besides, plain, easy, and sufficient for perfecting the man of God. "There is scarce anything drawn from the obscure places, but the same in other places may be found most plain" [AUGUSTINE]. It is our own prejudice, foolish expectations, and carnal fancies, that make Scripture difficult [JEREMY TAYLOR].
unlearned--Not those wanting human learning are meant, but those lacking the learning imparted by the Spirit. The humanly learned have been often most deficient in spiritual learning, and have originated many heresies. Compare 2 Timothy 2:23 , a different Greek word, "unlearned," literally, "untutored." When religion is studied as a science, nothing is more abstruse; when studied in order to know our duty and practice it, nothing is easier.
unstable--not yet established in what they have learned; shaken by every seeming difficulty; who, in perplexing texts, instead of waiting until God by His Spirit makes them plain in comparing them with other Scriptures, hastily adopt distorted views.
wrest--strain and twist (properly with a hand screw) what is straight in itself (for example, 2 Timothy 2:18 ).
other scriptures--Paul's Epistles were, therefore, by this time, recognized in the Church, as "Scripture": a term never applied in any of the fifty places where it occurs, save to the Old and New Testament sacred writings. Men in each Church having miraculous discernment of spirits would have prevented any uninspired writing from being put on a par with the Old Testament word of God; the apostles' lives also were providentially prolonged, Paul's and Peter's at least to thirty-four years after Christ's resurrection, John's to thirty years later, so that fraud in the canon is out of question. The three first Gospels and Acts are included in "the other Scriptures," and perhaps all the New Testament books, save John and Revelation, written later.
unto their own destruction--not through Paul's fault ( 2 Peter 2:1 ).
17. Ye--warned by the case of those "unlearned and unstable" persons ( 2 Peter 3:16 ).
knowing . . . before--the event.
led away with--the very term, as Peter remembers, used by Paul of Barnabas' being "carried," Greek, "led away with" Peter and the other Jews in their hypocrisy.
wicked--"lawless," as in 2 Peter 2:7 .
fall from--(grace, Galatians 5:4 : the true source of) "steadfastness" or stability in contrast with the "unstable" ( 2 Peter 3:16 ): "established" ( 2 Peter 1:12 ): all kindred Greek terms. Compare Jude 1:20 Jude 1:21 .
18. grow--Not only do not "fall from" ( 2 Peter 3:17 ), but grow onward: the true secret of not going backward. Ephesians 4:15 , "Grow up into Him, the Head, Christ."
grace and . . . knowledge of . . . Christ--"the grace and knowledge of Christ" [ALFORD rightly]: the grace of which Christ is the author, and the knowledge of which Christ is the object.
for ever--Greek, "to the day of eternity": the day that has no end: "the day of the Lord," beginning with the Lord's coming.

I've actually only had one Weight Watchers Smart Ones pizza before, Weight Watchers Smart Ones Four Cheese Pizza, and it was just average. But I am a huge fan of single serving pizzas - you eat it, there's no left-overs and thus no temptation - so I decided to try another variety and opted for the Weight Watchers Smart Ones Artisan Creations Pepperoni Stone Fired Crust Pizza - yes, long name.
I have to say that after I microwaved this, the pizza looked absolutely delightful. Large pepperoni slices covered the entire pizza, and it looked sufficiently cheesy. I bit into it and discovered that it was very tasty as well. The pepperoni was slightly spicy and the tomato sauce was just enough - I do not like tomato sauce dripping off my pizza and overwhelming the entire thing. The crust was not exactly crispy, but it was good enough for me. I think if I had opted to put this in the toaster oven it would have improved that aspect.
The entire pizza is one serving (thank goodness), and provides 390 calories, 8 grams of total fat which includes 3 grams of saturated fat (13% and 15% of the daily value), 730 mg (a whopping 30% of the DV), 4 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugars and 20 grams of protein.
The ingredients list is not surprisingly lengthy, but it actually has mostly what you expect to find. I paid $2.50 for this and it was excellent as a filling lunch. For dinner, I would probably add a side of my favorite veggies to make this more satisfying. Another plus is that Weight Watchers Smart Ones meals go on sale regularly, making it even more cost effective.

To avoid altered measurements wear a fitted panty.
You have two options to choose the size of your panty
Was our size chart useful?
If you would rather wear nothing to avoid panty lines, but want to wear something - this undetectable thong panty is perfect for you. Its laser-cut fabric seamlessly transitions to your skin without detection, and its DuraFit™ fabric feels light and soft. It is like wearing nothing, but with the comfort of wearing something!
I used to dislike thongs, but the second I put this on I was in love. I went to the gym with it, and forgot I was even wearing it. Also, it looks great on my butt and my boyfriend loves it.
This panty is hot!Its so pretty and I feel so sexy wearing it!
it's very comfortable, no-show, I will buy lots of these!!!
This is a luxuriously comfortable panty. Say goodbye to panty lines and enjoy this everyday hiphugger. Its smooth stretch DuraFit™ fabric and thermofusion process make this panty completely imperceptible under your clothes. You won't even remember you have it on.
it's very good, but would be better if it came in more colors
Super invisible!! this is the best panty I ever bought.
When I read the ad I didn't believe it, but I decided to buy one, it surprised me because it's no show, it doesn't ride-up, and it feels extra comfortable and it fits well under my clothes, excellent!

I tried a search, but I didn't find much about this.
Does anyone know if there are going to be more expansions in the future? In other words, did FFG announce it was done, or just kind of stop making them after Miskatonic kind of cleaned the game up a little bit?
I know some people discussed it at Boardgamegeek.com: http://boardgamegeek...the-dreamlands
Personally I think a Clark Ashton Smith expansion might work. Like Hyperborea for example.
