World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The Word of Yahweh that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel. | 1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel son of Pethuel. |
2 Hear this, you elders, And listen, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this ever happened in your days, Or in the days of your fathers? | 2 Hear this, you elders; listen, all who live in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your forefathers? |
3 Tell your children about it, And have your children tell their children, And their children, another generation. | 3 Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation. |
4 What the swarming locust has left, the great locust has eaten. What the great locust has left, the grasshopper has eaten. What the grasshopper has left, the caterpillar has eaten. | 4 What the locust swarm has left the great locusts have eaten; what the great locusts have left the young locusts have eaten; what the young locusts have left other locusts have eaten. |
5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; For it is cut off from your mouth. | 5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine; wail because of the new wine, for it has been snatched from your lips. |
6 For a nation has come up on my land, strong, and without number. His teeth are the teeth of a lion, And he has the fangs of a lioness. | 6 A nation has invaded my land, powerful and without number; it has the teeth of a lion, the fangs of a lioness. |
7 He has laid my vine waste, And stripped my fig tree. He has stripped its bark, and thrown it away. Its branches are made white. | 7 It has laid waste my vines and ruined my fig trees. It has stripped off their bark and thrown it away, leaving their branches white. |
8 Mourn like a virgin dressed in sackcloth for the husband of her youth! | 8 Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth grieving for the husband of her youth. |
9 The meal offering and the drink offering are cut off from Yahweh's house. The priests, Yahweh's ministers, mourn. | 9 Grain offerings and drink offerings are cut off from the house of the LORD. The priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD. |
10 The field is laid waste. The land mourns, for the grain is destroyed, The new wine has dried up, And the oil languishes. | 10 The fields are ruined, the ground is dried up; the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the oil fails. |
11 Be confounded, you farmers! Wail, you vineyard keepers; For the wheat and for the barley; For the harvest of the field has perished. | 11 Despair, you farmers, wail, you vine growers; grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field is destroyed. |
12 The vine has dried up, and the fig tree withered; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, Even all of the trees of the field are withered; For joy has withered away from the sons of men. | 12 The vine is dried up and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the palm and the apple tree-- all the trees of the field--are dried up. Surely the joy of mankind is withered away. |
13 Put on sackcloth and mourn, you priests! Wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, For the meal offering and the drink offering are withheld from your God's house. | 13 Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God. |
14 Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders, And all the inhabitants of the land, to the house of Yahweh, your God, And cry to Yahweh. | 14 Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. |
15 Alas for the day! For the day of Yahweh is at hand, And it will come as destruction from the Almighty. | 15 Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. |
16 Isn't the food cut off before our eyes; Joy and gladness from the house of our God? | 16 Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes-- joy and gladness from the house of our God? |
17 The seeds rot under their clods. The granaries are laid desolate. The barns are broken down, for the grain has withered. | 17 The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. The storehouses are in ruins, the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up. |
18 How the animals groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture. Yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. | 18 How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering. |
19 Yahweh, I cry to you, For the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, And the flame has burned all the trees of the field. | 19 To you, O LORD, I call, for fire has devoured the open pastures and flames have burned up all the trees of the field. |
20 Yes, the animals of the field pant to you, For the water brooks have dried up, And the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness. | 20 Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up and fire has devoured the open pastures. |

These tasty burritos are fast enough to make after even the busiest of days...and are great with a green salad on the side...I find they really are best with the smoky, yet robust, flavor of Ancho chili powder, but any will do fine...just adjust the amount as necessary to counteract a potential SU-heat overdose...

Fighting intensifies in northwestern Taliban strongholds
Fighting has intensified in a region in northwestern Pakistan where the Taliban and al Qaeda fighters dodging the South Waziristan operation have regrouped.
Limited military operations, consisting largely of air and artillery strikes backed by the paramilitary Frontier Corps, are concentrating on Taliban strongholds in a region that borders the Arakzai, Kurram, and Khyber tribal agencies.
Meanwhile, the Taliban are continuing their campaign against pro-government tribal leaders. One leader was assassinated in Bajaur and another was kidnapped in Mohmand.
In recent days, the Kurram Militia, a unit assigned to the paramilitary Frontier Corps, has conducted operations to secure the towns of Badama and Taindo, and has taken control of a Taliban training camp in the Shaho region. The military also said it cut off routes to and from the neighboring tribal agency of Arakzai, another Taliban stronghold, to prevent the Taliban from fleeing or reinforcing, Dawn reported.
The Kurram Militia launched the operation after a military convoy was ambushed by the Taliban in the Shaho region. The military claimed to have captured "a number of local and foreign militants" in the counterattack. The Shaho camp is said to be operated by Taliban leader Hakeemullah Mehsud and was used to train fighters from South Waziristan and elsewhere.
"This was major centre comprising several hideouts and tunnels which were completely destroyed," Colonel Touseef Akhtar of the Kurram Militia told reporters.
Kurram is known to be used by the Afghan Taliban to train fighters for operations against NATO and Afghan forces. On March 12, 2009, the US killed 14 Taliban and al Qaeda fighters in an airstrike on a Taliban compound and training camp in the Barjo region in Kurram.
Taliban fighters, along with al Qaeda and Central Asian fighters, have been resettling in Kurram while the military is conducting operations in the Mehsud tribal areas in South Waziristan. Local Taliban leaders and tribal elders are setting aside homes for the terrorists. "The newcomers have established hide-outs in the foothills and mountains skirting the villages, and have been seen digging trenches in mountainsides," the Los Angeles Times reported.
"From their faces we can see they are foreigners," Jaleel Rahman, a resident of central Kurram told the Los Angeles Times. "Sometimes they speak in Arabic, sometimes in English. Their leaders stay at the houses of influential people in our area. And we can't do anything about it."
"They are in the hundreds here," Sher Muhammad, a tribesman in central Kurram said. "They tell us to do what they do. And whatever they like, they get by force."
"They come to our houses and terrorize us," said Fareed Ullah, a student in Weedara. "They are kidnapping our elders and stealing our cars. We have no way of rising up against them, and there's no government here to help us. ... Kurram is in trouble because of them."
In Arakzai, the military is continuing to hit the Taliban with air and artillery strikes. Five Taliban fighters were killed in the latest airstrikes on Taliban "hideouts" in the Chappar Ferozekhel region.
On Nov. 25, the military reported that 10 Taliban fighters were killed in airstrikes in the Shahu Khel regions in Arakzai and neighboring Hangu. The military has stepped up operations in the region and claims to have secured Shahu Khel in Arakzai.
Taliban, al Qaeda, and Central Asian fighters have been flocking to Arakzai as well to escape the South Waziristan operation. Taliban commanders in Arakzai admit they've "set aside empty houses for fellow militants and their families arriving from South Waziristan," the Los Angeles Times reported.
"They accompany us wherever we go on patrol," local Taliban commander Maulana Zainul Abideen said. "They contacted our elders, and our elders allowed them to come here."
According to Mufti Khursheed, another local commander, the Taliban could not "carry out any activity without us, would have to patrol with us and would join us wherever we need them. They will not take any step without our permission."
The Frontier Corps also claimed that 15 pro-Taliban extremists fighters from the Lashkar-e-Islam were killed in helicopter strikes in the Landi Kotal region. The military claims to be in control of the towns of Mamary, Shaheeda Killi, and Meri Khel, and to have seized a massive weapons depot.
Three days ago, the military restarted operations against the Lashkar-e-Islam in the Bara and Landi Kotal regions in an attempt to halt the suicide and terror attacks on the neighboring city of Peshawar.
Taliban fighters from South Waziristan have also settled in Jamrud, Landi Kotal, and in the Tirah Valley, and have targeted Peshawar and NATO's supply lines to Afghanistan.
On several occasions since 2008, the military has claimed that Khyber has been cleared of the Lashkar-e-Islam and the Taliban. Four previous military offensives have failed to dislodge the terror groups. The latest offensive appears to be similarily limited in size and scope, and seems to be punitive in nature. Only 200 troops are operating in the Landi Kotal region, far to few to secure the region.
Bajaur and Mohmand
While operations are underway in Kurram, Khyber, and Arakzai, the Taliban continue to target pro-government tribal leaders.
In Bajaur, the Taliban assassinated Shahpoor Khan, who was described as a "a key ally of Pakistan's embattled authorities" in the tribal agency. Khan was killed in an IED attack. He is the third senior anti-Taliban tribal leader killed in Bajaur since Oct. 3. The Taliban also killed Khan's predecessor last year in a suicide attack.
In Mohmand, the Taliban attacked the home of Malik Amir Said, the leader of a local "peace committee," and kidnapped him. Said's son was killed during the attack.
In March of this year, the military claimed the Taliban were defeated and driven from Bajaur and Mohmand after operations ended in both tribal agencies.
The Taliban have responded viciously to efforts by tribal leaders to oppose the spread of extremism in the tribal areas. Tribal opposition has been violently attacked and defeated in Bannu, Peshawar, Arakzai, Khyber, North and South Waziristan, and previously in Swat and Dir. Suicide bombers have struck at tribal meetings held at mosques, schools, hotels, and homes.
For more information on the Taliban's regrouping in Kurram, Arakzai, Khyber, and North and South Waziristan, see LWJ report, "Taliban escape South Waziristan operation."

Hey Bill, good stuff. Your posts on the latest news from Pakistan are the best. One question though. Have you ever thought of putting all of your stuff on a Ushahidi type platform? It would be an interesting way to catalog all the information you have put together on this war. And if it was interactive, then trusted individuals could be used to add to that Ushahidi. Cheers. -Matt

It makes me wonder if the U.S. intends to do any military operations of this scale in parts of Afghanistan? To date I have not seen any material military operations done by the U.S., kindly highlight any if there are any (apart from the initial invasion and small operations with coalition troops).
Posted by bard207 at November 29, 2009 5:27 AM ET:
Ahmad Tariq,
When I read Pakistani centric web sites, the participants - members laud the activity by the Pakistani military. Yet, it is just an attempt to reclaim what was given away by Pakistan in various Peace Deals over the years.
Rather than admit that the Peace Deals over the years were mistakes as the U.S. had told them they would be, Pakistanis would rather direct attention elsewhere.
If Pakistan deploys enough troops to hold the cleared areas and continues to clear all Taliban from FATA and NWFP, then Pakistan definitely deserves accolades for a job well done.
It makes me wonder if the U.S. intends to do any military operations of this scale in parts of Afghanistan?
What is the metric to be used in comparing activity by the U.S. - NATO in Afghanistan compared to the current activity by the Pakistani military?
Number of militants killed?

G20Voice is an Oxfam GB initiative tying itself in with the White Band Action. Partners include Save The Children, One, Moblog, Blue State Digital, Global Voices and Spinvox.
The idea was to select 50 blogger-activists from around the world and bring them together around the G20 summit to give their own individual, citizen orientated points of view on proceedings. The bloggers have been given the same types of accreditation as "traditional journalists", but are expected to pick up on the smaller stories and give an alternative aspect from mainstream media.
Humorous comment and critique are the order of the day.
"It may look like a slightly dull wedding reception...but actually it's a seething and vibrant hotbed of ideas and debate", writes Adrian Lovett of Save the Children under a photo of the G20Voice blogging 50 united in London.
Bloggers will cover the G20 in many different ways and languages, with Rui Chenggang of China promising a high brow account of events, and Dutch Carole Edrich a photo-blogger, who has just uploaded her first G20 video onto YouTube, promising a more alternative one.

John, I will give you a bit of background on my grandfather. The only information I have on him is what he himself gave on his service papers, marriage certificate and childrens' birth certificates. His parents were listed as William G. Moat Clifton and Annie Wright. I believe he was born in England, not quite sure where, as he gave Faversham, Deal, Wandsworth & London at different times. He always gave his birthday as January 16th, but the year varied....so somewhere between 1876 and 1884. At some point between the time he was born and the time he enlisted in the Canadian army in 1915, he arrived in Canada. I have no idea when, how, with whom. What I do know is that during the war he was sending part of his service pay to a Mrs. G. Moat (previously Sarah Ann Atkins)of Deal, Kent. I have since found out that she was Mrs George James Moat, son of George Manger Moat. I have no idea where the Clifton surname fits in. Any ideas? Notify Administrator about this message?

Artwork by Timothy Hoyer
Over the years, when interviewing renowned tattooists about the greatest influences on their work, the name Eddy Deutsche is constantly being dropped. As part of the first crew of artists at Ed Hardy's legendary Tattoo City and later working with Horitaku of the Horitoshi family, Eddy developed a style that has inspired other artists to go beyond traditional tattoo tenets and experiment in their compositions and techniques, to meld various artistic influences and create unique works of tattoo art. Eddy is a consummate innovator, and his latest project, featuring the fine art of tattooists, is another exciting example of this: Raking Light Projects is an online art gallery featuring fine arts and collectible prints created by stellar tattoo artists. With co-owner Andrew Fingerhut, Eddy invites a select group of artists to create a work of fine art based on their interpretation of a theme, along with several single-edition prints to showcase their individual artistic style and creative perspective. The work is then made available for viewing and purchase exclusively on RakingLightProjects.com. The first theme is "Liberation," interpreted by Guy Aitchison, Jondix, Timothy Hoyer, Bert Krak, Carlos Rodriguez and Derrick Snodgrass. It's fascinating to see the vastly different approaches to the theme. Andrew offers more on this: The overall collection successfully showcases the diverse perspective and the true depth of talent found among a select group of working tattooists. Some art proudly reflects the expressive, bold elements long associated with the best tattoo work. Other work reveals alternative facets of creativity that are as uniquely suited to paper and canvas composition as they are distinct from ink on skin. The tattoo commonality among participating artists can be celebrated, critiqued or ignored because the body of work stands strongly on its own. Andrew also explained more about the process: A variety of traditional and digital printmaking techniques were utilized to create the prints. Each participating artist created original artwork that served as source material for a single edition of 20 or 25 prints. Once the prints were produced, the original artwork was destroyed or cancelled to preserve the underlying value of the edition and to ensure that the prints are objectively considered limited edition works of art. All prints are signed, numbered and include an artist-verified Certificate of Authenticity. Each artist was closely involved in the printmaking production process and their time, attention to detail and effort is proudly reflected in the resulting artwork. I can personally attest to the print quality, having a hand-signed mixed media print on canvas of Timothy Hoyer's "Void," which hangs near my desk as I write this. As noted on the Raking Light site, it is giclee on gallery-wrapped canvas with silk-screen overlay; printed on Lyve fine art canvas using Epson archival pigmented inks; coating applied and pulled by hand on silk-screen machine using Glamour II varnish. The result is a powerful piece that is worth much more than its $250 price. To view all available works, check the Raking Light gallery. Tim Lehi laser etched wood print (above).

We've had our BBQs and enjoyed the sunshine of this weekend, but it wouldn't be Memorial Day in the US without giving pause to think on those who have lost their lives in serving our country. Memorial and patriotic artwork is often tattooed to ensure that the fallen are remembered every day -- work like this chestpiece by Timothy Hoyer of NY Adorned, and the neck rocker below by Jerrett of Monarch Tattoo in Washington.

The other day I stumbled upon this great little comic from traveling pal Nick James: illustrator, graphic designer, creepy mask-maker. But what's kinda funny is that the comic's subject, artist and tattooer hopeful Dan Bones, was actually tattooed by Timothy Hoyer over at Brooklyn Adorned. Nick, however, was not tattooed by Johnny Piranha; his leg is still intact. Nick's blog is also really fun. Check it.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Van der Merwe, Francois Petrus Johannes email@example.com URN etd-08282008-110336 Document Title A method of evaluating an irrigation water use in terms of "efficient, sustainable and beneficial use of water in the public interest" Degree MEng Department Civil and Biosystems Engineering Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Ms I van der Stoep Committee Chair Prof S J van Vuuren Committee Co-Chair Keywords
- irrigation efficiency
- water use
- South Africa
- National Water Act (Act 36 of 1998)
- water in agriculture
Date 2008-04-11 Availability unrestricted Abstract This dissertation endeavours to provide a practicable method to evaluate any existing or proposed irrigation water use against the purpose of the National Water Act (Act 36 of 1998) (NWA) as described in section 2. It firstly focuses on section 2(d) of the NWA, which requires the promotion of efficient, sustainable and beneficial use of water in the public interest. Although the evaluation of the degree to which this purpose is being achieved by a specific irrigation water use is the topic of this dissertation, it is further argued that by viewing this aspect comprehensively enough, it actually covers five other requirements of section 2, concerning irrigation water use.
The efficiency and effectiveness of the irrigation operation is evaluated. It includes irrigation technology aspects, the efficiency of the relevant irrigation systems and water supply infrastructure, irrigation management skills and the proper application of best management practices by the irrigator that determines the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the irrigation operation.
Aspects that determine sustainability of the particular water use that are included in the evaluation, entail among others the protection of the water resource (surface and groundwater) and other natural resources, the riparian habitats and all relevant aquatic ecosystems. Other aspects concerning sustainability are the prevention and control of the chemical pollution of the water and soils resources through the irrigation process, as well as salination and water-logging of land through wrong agricultural and irrigation practices.
A further aspect is investigated here for a particular water use namely whether it really represents beneficial use in the public interest, by analysing the socio-economical and political considerations unique to every particular situation. This also requires the consideration of intangible benefits and costs, which are by nature subjective and for which the specific requirements will differ from the one situation to the other. In order to provide a procedure that is transparent and consistent enough to withstand any challenge from users or proposed users in this regard, it has been decided to utilise amongst others the BBBEE scorecard, which has been developed and is presently being implemented by government, also in terms of section 27(1)(b) of the NWA.

Just Another Birthday – Music Video
Another day, another music video. Out of sheer coincidence, another one of the major pieces our team has been working on has gone live today: Just Another Birthday by Casting Crowns. The video was produced in about 3 weeks and was shot completely in East Texas near our studios.
To get the visual effect style we were going for, we shot primarily using a Canon 5D with "Lens Whacking" — which is essentially shooting with the lens detached from the camera to produce cool lens flares.
It's a pretty touching story, to say the least. I can barely watch it all the way through without tearing up.
What I've Been Up To
Some folks have emailed me asking what I've been up to over the past couple months. Well, there's lots of good news to share: I got my working visa and I'm now living in the Texas working at a full-fledged media production company as the Production Manager. We make everything from music videos to short films to promos & commercials, and we do it all for the glory of God.
We make so many things at such a fast pace that I really need to take the time to write about / showcase them. So without further ado, here is the latest thing we've worked on that we're releasing today: the brand new music video for the Newsboys. Enjoy!
This makes pleasure also the whistleblower of your heart. If something sinful gives you pleasure, it's not a pleasure problem. It's a treasure problem. Your pleasure mechanism is likely functioning just fine. It's what you love that's out of whack. And pleasure is outing you. It's revealing that, despite what your mouth says and the image you try to project to others, something evil is precious to you.
"I do know that waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes on one's thoughts." -Elisabeth Elliot
I don't know why I wrote that quote down on my phone almost two years ago — little did I realize how deeply the reality of it would strike my own life years later.
Bearing uncertainty does quite possibly one of the strangest things to a man's heart.
Uncertainty forces me to face the fact that I am not in control and am absolutely incapable of changing my circumstances.
Uncertainty forces me to confront my jealousy of God and my desire to be Him — infinitely Powerful & absolutely Sovereign.
Uncertainty shatters my self-sufficiency and destroys my proclivity to lean upon my own strength.
Uncertainty crushes me with the truth that there is only one Good and Faithful Shepherd of my soul, Jesus Christ, in whom I live and move and have my being.
Uncertainty causes me to set my hope fully on the grace that will be brought to me at the revelation of Jesus (1 Peter 1:13).
You see, there's a whole lot more going on here than meets the eye. Waiting on the Lord is actually a self-shattering, Gospel-inducing, hand-emptying surgery that crucifies our hearts to this world and raises them to Christ.
I hate uncertainty. But it is my thorn, my gift, my joy. And so I will boast all the more in my uncertainty, that my Savior's infinite power might be perfected in me.
My Thorn Has Become a Spring of Joy to Me
My thorn has become a spring of joy to me.
I found myself looking upon some of my friends with jealousy the other night. "Why do they get to do such and such? Why do they get to be with so and so? Why now? Why not me?" Very quickly, I saw this jealousy give way to my own self-pity: "Woe is me that my God has given me among all my friends this heavy burden to bear. I must be obedient, I must endure — and then the good will come."
I thought enduring was what I was supposed to do. I thought being obedient was all that God required of me. But then God spoke:
Just as faith apart from obedience is dead, so obedience apart from faith is dead.
Now you may say, "Of course I have faith, how would I ever obey if I didn't believe?" Let me say this very carefully: I believe we, as Christians, often have faith in the promise and the certainty of the promise but not in the intentions of the Promiser.
In my own life, I see my tendency to look upon God's "gifts" as malicious burdens that I have to bear rather than good gifts that I get to receive and rejoice in. I believe in the Goodness of God, but have a hard time applying it to the here and now. For me, the Goodness of God is some kind of distant hope that comforts rather than an ever-present help in trouble (Ps. 46:1).
Biblically, we can look at 2 Corinthians 12:7, where God sent a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass the apostle Paul. Imagine being in his shoes. Harassment from God? That must be malicious. He must be testing me. He must be testing my endurance and my strength. He must have something really good in store for me if I simply preserve through this cruel momentary harassment.
But that is not what Paul says: his thorn was a gift. It was given to him to keep him from becoming conceited; to keep him from sin (v. 7). It was given to him so that Christ's power might be perfected in him (v. 9) It was given to him that he might learn to boast in his thorn as a good gift from a Good God who lovingly gave him his thorn for his good.
The thorn that was pitiable in the eyes of the world was beautiful to Paul. Because Paul had the eyes of faith.
Or consider Job. When everything in this world was stolen from him, he cried out, "The LORD gives and the LORD takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord." (Job 1:21) Job didn't have any promises to look forward to but the trust that the intentions of his God were good. The Lord isn't "still" good despite what happens, He "is" good because of what happens. Blessed be the name of the Lord for doing things this way. Blessed be the name of the Lord that his thoughts are greater and his ways are higher. Blessed be the name of the Lord because He knows what is best for me.
The God that Job's wife told him to curse, Job worshipped. Because Job had the eyes of faith.
Only children who have the Sovereign King as their Father can "consider every trial as pure joy" because they believe two unshakeable truths: (1) God is completely in control of this world and my life, and (2) He is always, undeniably, unquestionably good. And everything he does is good. Even the thorns, even the discipline, even the wilderness.
It's a life-transforming truth: I'm not enduring cruel wrath, I'm receiving loving discipline. From my Father, for my good.
My thorn that was once bitter has become a spring of joy to me.
Thoughts on Beauty
There is only one source, one spring of Joy — for both the pagan and the Christian — and it is Christ. And if the source of Joy be attributed to any other such thing, it is idolatry against the Most High. One One is found Good, only One is the essence of Beauty, and from Him does all other goodness and beauty flow. Loveliness is intrinsic to One, and One alone.
If this is true, then idolatry really is an abominable thing, exchanging the glory of the immortal God for images that resemble mortal man (Romans 1).
Why then do we have the proclivity to remove glory from the only Glorious One, and bestow it upon mortal man, who is but a reflection of divine perfection? It is pervasive throughout the hearts and minds of believers and unbelievers alike. We cease to give glory to our Creator, barely acknowledging his existence, and instead, we glorify the Creature.
We worship the beauty of this world, while denying the beauty of its Source. We seek to become like God through sinful pride and arrogance; He seeks to make us like himself through humble meekness and love. Oh, the depth of the riches of this great mystery!
Hello Again.
Same name, different Michael. We'll see how this goes.
Boise, ID.
One generous act of kindness from an absolute stranger can do wonders to a weary traveling soul.
I'm laying on a bed in a random host home somewhere on the outskirts of Boise, Idaho; taking a hot shower for the first time in days, drinking hot beverages by candlelight and watching movies with one of my closest friends on the biggest seventy-three inch plasma you've ever seen. I don't even remember the name of the lady who opened up her home to us. I think it's Annette. She loves animals. She has a black lab, a pit bull, five cats, a couple horses, and a countless number of fish. She works in a call center troubleshooting people's DSL problems. Yesterday she taught a celebrity how to find the colon key on their keyboard in order to type "http://" into Internet Explorer. If she takes the freeway, she can get from her home to her office, park, walk three blocks, and be at her desk within fifteen minutes. Her husband works at Ford. The car she drives shares the same name as my company. And it has seat-heated cushions. Mhmm, seat-heated cushions.. my favorite.
She has Thin Mint Girl Scouts™-flavored ice cream. And premium hot cocoa. And those giant mug things that the dwarves from the Lord of the Rings use. And hash browns and pancakes and bacon in the morning.
And did I mention hot showers?
This generosity is overwhelming.
Thank You.
Breaking the Silence
No, I'm not dead. But if you follow me on Twitter, you already know that.
I just graduated high school, that's all. I wrote my last final and made a beeline for Texas three days later where I'll be spending the next two years doing a film & media internship. So now I actually get to make things instead of simply talking about other people making things. Hence the lack of words here.
The last four months have been the most physically, emotionally, and professionally demanding months of my — admittedly short — life. I'm learning more than I ever have and have more things than ever to talk and write about. Not every teenager gets the opportunity to shoot music videos in Mexico or travel to stadiums and arenas across the US putting on Christian youth conferences.
I think what I'm trying to say is that now that I have somewhat of an interesting life, the things I'm discovering and learning might actually be of value to some people. Or someone.
That's my hope at least.
So yeah, just wanted to get that whole awkward "breaking the silence" moment out of the way. Thank you to everyone who emailed in their condolences or DM'd me to say that they stopped by my site to clear out the virtual cobwebs. Your loyalty has been duly noted.
Ahhh, feels good to be back.
PhotoForge: Photoshop for the iPhone
I never realized how useful a simple "curves" adjustment on an iPhone would be until now. Some of the features are a little gimmicky (how many times are you going to use the clone stamp tool on your phone?), but it completely changes the way you use your iPhone as a camera.
While it typically retails for $4.99, it's on sale for a limited time for $1.99.
There are lots of things you can do to make the sale. They often are precisely the opposite of what you should do to generate word of mouth. I know, you can't have word of mouth unless you have a sale, but a sale that leads to pain is hardly worth it.
My rule of thumb is this: every person you turn away because your product or service isn't right for them turns into three great customers down the road. Every bad sale costs you five.
I couldn't agree more.
Working at Fusion, I'm often amazed at the number of great products and services out there that aren't being talked about. After booking a Fusion ad with us, the good folks at Hello Canvas offered to send me a free print of one of my photos so that I could try out the service.
The canvas came in the mail the other day and I have been blown away by the sheer awesomeness of the print. It's HUGE, feels solid, and looks absolutely stunning on the wall.
I can't quite explain what it's like to see one of your photos in larger-than-life form. It's exhilarating, emotional — almost hypnotizing. In fact, I find that I prefer canvas-bound prints to framed photos more often than not. (For once my tastes side on the cheaper end of the metaphorical scale. Huzzah!) If you're a photographer, art appreciating enthusiast, or parent for that matter, Hello Canvas deserves a serious look.
(Pssst: I believe the coupon code "FUSION" still saves you 10% upon checkout. You didn't hear it from me.)

Fans of the Highly anticipated North American release of The Last Story were disappointed when the hurried to Gamestop to retrieve their pre-ordered copies. It seems that the release date has once again been pushed back, this time to July 31st (August 1st according to my local gamestop).
I spoke to four of my six local Gamestop locations in regards to the delay. Four of the locations had no idea what I was talking about. They had to look it up in their system just to find the new release date. The other two locations were very bummed out. They had both stated that until yesterday they had anticipated receipt of the pre ordered copies, at least according to their systems. Then they received confirmation that the game has once again been delayed until July 31st/August 1st. Both Associates stressed that the date is NOT a street release date, so chances are it will be delayed again.

Ever since the Pittsburgh Steelers cut ties with linebacker James Harrison, Harrison's agent Bill Parise has been diligently working the phones, and thinks his client would fit in well with a handful of NFL teams.
"Baltimore would be a great fit for James," agent Bill Parise said. "They're a contender and a class organization, so James would definitely be interested. I would think they would have a need with the market for Kruger."

According to a report by the Baltimore Sun, there is a bidding war brewing between the Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland Browns for the services of Baltimore Ravens' outside linebacker Paul Kruger.
The 27-year-old Kruger had a breakout season in 2012, recording a career high 30 tackles and 9.0 sacks, while playing in 15 games.
Some sources are saying that the Utah alum could command somewhere between $10-$12 million in the open market, which would be too rich for the defending Super Bowl champions, who are actively trying to re-sign inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe.

Ravens expected to make Dannell Ellerbe a 'significant offer'

Update 3:27 pm
Dannell Ellerbe's agent says he doesn't anticipate deal with Ravens before midnight: 'Starting Saturday, we'll be talking to all 32 teams.'
— Aaron Wilson (@RavensInsider) March 8, 2013
The Baltimore Ravens hope to retain the services of Linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, one of the top free agents at his position. The Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson reports the Ravens remain in talks with Ellerbe after meeting with his agent at the NFL scouting combine.
"There's always a chance, and that's what I'm hoping will happen," Ellerbe said. "The Ravens are a perfect situation for me. Hopefully, it's a perfect situation for me to sign on the dotted line."
According to Wilson, the Ravens are expected to make the Georgia product a significant offer prior to the start of free agency. Ellerbe is the Ravens number one priority now that Joe Flacco is under contract. With Ray Lewis retiring and Jameel McClain recovering from a spinal cord contusion, re-signing Ellbere will be huge for John Harbaugh's defence.

Republicans red-faced as Democrats paint Virginia blue
11/6/2013, 10:51 a.m.
By Kenric Ward
Five takeaways from the Democrats' big wins Tuesday in Virginia:
• Obamacare isn't that unpopular in the Old Dominion after all.
• A deep-pocketed Democrat cleverly used the Libertarian Party to fracture the GOP base.
• The gender gap is growing, in favor of Democrats.
• Money counts … again.
• Northern Virginia rules.
Democrat Terry McAuliffe broke a streak of nine straight elections in which the party occupying the White House lost the Virginia governor's race.
In the final days, Republican Ken Cuccinelli framed the rough-and-tumble contest as a referendum on President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. Now that one of Obamacare's leading opponents has been shoved to the sidelines, can Medicaid expansion be far behind for Virginia?
Also late in the campaign, news reports trickled out that a Democratic Party money bundler funded Libertarian Robert Sarvis' way onto the ballot. Joe Liemandt's ploy — whether orchestrated by the Democrats or not — provides a blueprint for the party to triangulate a way to victory without having to win 50 percent of the vote.
The so-called "war on women" thrashed the Grand Old Party. Though married women tended to vote GOP with their Republican husbands, unmarried females overwhelmingly voted for McAuliffe. It's a mathematical impossibility to win while suffering a double-digit deficit among half the electorate.
McAuliffe's $15 million edge in fundraising — with copious payback from Bill and Hillary Clinton — helped the Democrat demolish Cuccinelli on TV and power through a swarm of scandals over his business dealings ranging from GreenTech Automotive to ghoulish "death-put" investments on dying patients.
Virginia exhibited its political bipolarity again Tuesday. Only more so. Cuccinelli's early lead, built in central and southern Virginia, steadily eroded as Northern Virginia's precincts rolled in. The coalition assembled by Republican Bob McDonnell in 2009 crumbled this time, as Virginia's most populous county, Fairfax, gave McAuliffe a 20-point cushion.
With additional votes from Hampton Roads, Democrats are repainting this once-red state blue.
Granted, the House of Delegates remains firmly in GOP control, able to block what Republican Party Chairman Pat Mullins calls "any crazy ideas" from McAuliffe. Also, a recount may affirm Republican Mark Obenshain's 216-vote margin in the attorney general race (out of 2.1 million ballots cast).
But the Senate figures to remain evenly split and Democrats now dominate the statewide offices, including both U.S. Senate seats.
Facing such adversity, second-guessing and recriminations are in the Virginia GOP's future.
Before Tuesday's election, political scientist Quentin Kidd predicted, "I think the Republican Party erupts into a civil war 30 minutes after the polls close."
The Christopher Newport University professor told NBC: "The (Bill) Bolling wing of the party would feel emboldened enough to say 'We told you so, you idiots.'"
The lieutenant governor — a Chris Christie-type moderate (without the Jersey-style flamboyance) who dropped his gubernatorial bid when the state party apparatus opted for a closed nominating convention — said in a statement:
"As a Republican, I am deeply disappointed that our party has lost control of our state's top two elected offices. There are clear lessons in these losses for the Republican Party.

Utility: New nuclear plant in Ga. over budgetBy RAY HENRY
The Associated Press | March 01,2013ATLANTA Southern Co. said Thursday it will exceed its original budget to build a first-of-its-kind nuclear plant, a troubling development for an industry long plagued by cost overruns.
The Atlanta-based utility formally asked regulators to raise its budget to build two more nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle by about $737 million to roughly $6.85 billion. Additional costs are possible. Companies designing and building the plant have sued the utility seeking $425 million for unexpected project costs, though the utility has filed its own suit and denies responsibility for those expenses.
The plant features a reactor design never before built in the United States, including new safety systems.
Delays have pushed back the timeline for completing the two reactors from April 2016 and April 2017 to late 2017 and 2018. Southern Co. said it was trying to determine whether the pace can be quickened.
Industry leaders have hoped that Plant Vogtle and an identical plant in South Carolina would prove new nuclear plants can be built without the excess spending that hampered the last round of construction decades ago. Despite the cost increases, Southern Co. said finishing the plant remains about $4 billion cheaper than stopping and building natural gas plants. That analysis ignores money already spent on the nuclear plant.
If people are debating billions in value for customers, thats a good thing, said Buzz Miller, executive vice president of nuclear development at Southern Co. In the past, financial analysts for utility regulators have found the value for customers could be less than company estimates, though regulators have not yet analyzed the latest company report.
The 2.4 million customers of Southern Co. subsidiary Georgia Power will ultimately reimburse the utility for its costs.
Georgia Watch, a consumer advocacy group, said it was not surprised by the request. It wants state lawmakers to adopt legislation financially penalizing Southern Co. for cost overruns.
This for us is further evidence that ratepayers need further protection than they already have, said Liz Coyle, deputy director of Georgia Watch.
Georgia Power owns roughly 46 percent of the two new reactors, which are estimated to cost around $14 billion. The other owners include Oglethorpe Power Corp., the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia and the city of Dalton. Georgias elected utility regulators previously authorized Georgia Power to spend $6.1 billion. That commission must now decide whether to approve the latest budget proposal.
Utility commissioners, all Republicans, can bar the utility from passing along to its customers any spending deemed imprudent.
Years ago, state utility regulators blocked Georgia Power from charging customers $951 million incurred while building the first two reactors at Plant Vogtle. That project was originally budgeted at $660 million. By the time the reactors were finished, the price tag approached $8.9 billion.
The budget may still change. While Southern Co. said it is not responsible for the extra costs now part of the lawsuits, Miller acknowledged the utility may seek a settlement. Utilities in South Carolina reached a deal to end a similar dispute there.
If we get a settlement and its good for our customers, wed take it to the commission at that time, Miller said.
Utility officials said many of the new building costs were for extra oversight. For example, Southern Co. and plant designer Westinghouse Electric Co. have sent workers to a factory run by CB&I, which produces large parts for the plant. Utility officials previously said they needed to increase their oversight after the factory had difficulty meeting federal rules and sticking to its schedule.

Television's favorite crime novelist, Richard Castle, has a new entry in his Nikki Heat book series. Of course, Castle, as portrayed by Nathan Fillion, is the fictional title character in ABC's hit Monday night series, but some marketing genius decided real books written by a Castle ghostwriter would sell and they did — 2.3 million copies.
"Deadly Heat" debuts in hardcover Sept. 17, with Fillion and costar Stana Katic returning in "Castle" for a sixth season on Monday, Sept. 23.

**UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your great ideas! We will announce Scott's selections early next week here on the Team Titleist Tour Blog and post pictures of his newly-stamped Vokey wedges.
• • •
In just over a week, Titleist Brand Ambassador Scott Stallings will drive down Magnolia Lane for the first time as a Masters participant, his bag full of Titleist Pro V1 golf balls and 14 Titleist clubs carefully packed in the trunk.Four of those clubs will be brand new Vokey Design Spin Milled wedges, which Master Craftsman Bob Vokey is building this week at WedgeWorks in Carlsbad, Calif.Bob has all the specs. He's just waiting on a few more details…"Voke's asking what I want custom-stamped on my wedges for the Masters," says Scott, who earned his invitation to Augusta National by winning last year's Greenbrier Classic in a sudden-death playoff."I'm hoping Team Titleist can help me with some ideas!"You heard him.
If you have an idea for Scott's custom-stamping, please log-in in to your Team Titleist account and describe it in the comments section below.It could be the same word (or words) on each wedge. Or different words on each wedge that go together to create a neat phrase or sentence. Or anything else you can think of!On Monday, Scott will pick his favorite idea and let Bob know what to stamp on his four Vokeys headed to Georgia.If your idea is chosen, we'll send you a signed hat from Scott and a special gift from Team Titleist. And best of all, your stamping will go into play on Scott's wedges at the Masters!*

on September 6, 2013Again, and it doesn't happen often, something will pop in Tiger Beat On The Potomac that gets me reaching for the ol' 10-gallon can purely on the basis of the news therein, and not on the basis of what one of the kidz there has written about it. This is the case today. It appears in a story about whether or not Senator Huckleberry J. Butchmeup's position on Syria will hurt him in the cracker factory that is the Republican party in South Cackalacky.
Graham has been careful to distance himself from Obama, calling on the president to "up his game" and charging that Syria is "the most mismanaged situation I've ever seen since World War II when they were trying to to control the Nazis.
Hello? The Nazis? I think we managed them pretty well in World War II, all things considered. And since then, hello? Vietnam? Iraq?
Are you high, Clairee?
At the very least, the question of whether Huckleberry can talk dumb enough to get a GOP nomination in South Cackalacky has a definitive answer. nd the entire South is the grave of Calhoun.
Bartender, make it a double Prestone, and see what the pundits in the back room will have.

Arizona, Texas and California might be hit hardest, he said.
"On the border, the whole microeconomy revolves around the inputs from Mexico, and one of the biggest items is tomatoes," Viramontes said. "That's what we're trying to tell (the Department of) Commerce."
That's how AMHPAC is playing defense. On offense, it claims its growers' increased efficiencies are the real cause of any pressures felt in Florida.
"In the last 10 years or so, we've just been pounded with so many different things," Viramontes said. "Food safety, quality, security, responsibility. The only way to make that cost not affect the final price is to become more efficient, and we have.
"Florida still uses the same growing systems they had in place then. You don't see greenhouses, shadehouses. Some growers there say they don't invest because of the high risk of hurricanes. But we face that risk too on our coast; there are systems to deal with it," he said.
In mid-October, representatives of Mexican growers met with Department of Commerce officials to propose raising the floor price of tomatoes 18% to 25%, depending on variety, and including all Mexican growers in the agreement.
It was not immediately clear whether that would move the dispute closer to resolution.
Reggie Brown, executive director of the Florida Tomato Exchange, told The Packer the suspension agreement was fundamentally flawed and biased.

Openreach ramps up pilot of super-fast fibre to apartments
Residents and Landlords within eligible areas encouraged to register interest as trial is expanded Residents and landlords of apartment blocks within Openreach's fibre broadband footprint are being asked to register their interest in a pilot scheme to bring the company's fastest available broadband speeds to apartments within their building.
Openreach is looking for around 1000 buildings to take part in the pilot. Buildings will need to be located within its existing fibre footprint, and will be chosen according to a combination of registered demand, the co-operation of landlords and the economics of deployment. Technology and network topography factors will also be taken into account.
Participants will gain access to Openreach's Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) technology which delivers super-fast broadband speeds. End users will initially have access to downstream speeds of up to 100Mb/s but these will rise to give users the option of up to 300Mb/s in the spring of this year, the fastest commercially available speeds in the UK for a residential connection. Upstream speeds will also be the fastest in the UK.
Openreach has been conducting early trials in areas served by FTTP technology and recently announced its intention to seek registrations of interest from residents and landlords in Canary Wharf.
Identifying the appropriate individuals and companies with the authority to formally grant permission for the apartment blocks can be challenging. By allowing both landlords and residents to register interest, Openreach aims to allow the latter to demonstrate demand for the service and the former to make their building more attractive to future potential residents.
Mike Galvin, Openreach Managing Director for Next Generation Access, said: "We are keen to extend the benefits of our fastest broadband services to those living in apartments. Through our registration scheme customers are clearly showing us they now seek these higher speeds and see the provision of super-fast broadband as a significant benefit. We are factoring customer demand into our future deployment plans but are also keen to partner with landlords and involve them in our plans."
Openreach is the lead deployment arm of BT's £2.5bn investment in super-fast fibre broadband , which aims to cover around two-thirds of UK premises with the technology by the end of 2014. There is potential for this footprint to be extended even further with BDUK funding, other public funds and further private-sector investment. Openreach's fibre network is available to all communications providers on an open wholesale access basis, meaning that residents served by the technology have access to a choice of communications providers.
Residents can register their interest at: http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/resident/
Landlords can register their interest at: http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/landlord/
About Openreach
Openreach is responsible for the last mile of the UK access network – the copper wires and fibre connecting homes and businesses to their local telephone exchanges. Openreach provides communications providers with services and products associated with that network.

Robert Mondavi Merlot Private Selection California
Robert Mondavi
- California
- United States
Merlot has long been a grape associated with excellent quality of character and flavor, and has spread around the globe as a result of its relative hardiness and reliability. From Chile to Bordeaux, Merlot vines grow to ripeness, and end up producing a remarkably wide variety of wines. Single variety wines made from Merlot grapes tend to be beautifully rich in color, and packed full of jammy, hedgerow flavors and notes of plum and currant, and ideal for newcomers to red wines as a result of their medium body. This medium body comes about due to the fact that the skin of Merlot grapes tends to be quite thin, meaning that the tannin content of Merlot wines is lower than those made from other blue-black grapes. The mellowness and roundedness which results is ideal for blending, also, and Merlot is used as a blending grape in some of the world's finest wineries, to produce aged wines of exceptional character.
It isn't difficult to see how California became one of the world's most important, successful and influential wine regions. Since the first vines were planted in the state by Spanish pioneers in the 18th century, the region has made the most of its ideal climatic conditions, which range from hot, dry and arid to windswept and cool, for vineyard cultivation and wine production. Today, California has almost half a million acres under vine, and hundreds of independent and well established wineries dotted across its vast wine-making areas. Californian wines range from the traditional, and those emulating fine Old World wines, to the experimental and unique, and it is the home to many of the world's most exciting and trailblazing wineries producing excellent bottles for the global market.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
