NASHIK: The currently erratic supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders in Nashik will be back to normal by Tuesday following the withdrawal of the eight-day strike by bulkers' transport association on Friday.
"The strike has been called off and though the existing stock does not warrant any panicky reactions, the supply will most likely be restored to normalcy by Tuesday," district supply officer Mahesh Patil said.
The eight-day strike called by transporters to demand a revision in transport rates in the contract agreement had affected LPG supply from the ports and refineries to the bottling plants in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.

"Sisters" launch campaign to save state's Basic Health Plan
An initiative to pass income tax?
Susan Docekal got a letter a while back stating that her monthly health care premium would go up in 2010. But it didn't prepare her for how much: 57 percent.
That's the increase the 54-year-old is facing to stay on the Basic Health Plan, a state-subsidized insurance program for the working poor. On Nov. 13, Docekal, who works at a community center in Seattle and makes less than $1,500 a month, got a notice from the state that her premium would go up from $88 a month to $138 starting in January.
Her annual out-of-pocket deductible is going up, too, from $150 to $250. Basic Health is still a good deal, she says, but she's worried about what's going to happen to thousands in the state who will lose coverage because they can't afford the increases.
She's not alone. Earlier this year, to close a two-year budget gap of $9 billion, the legislature cut $238 million from Basic Health, forcing the state Health Care Authority, which oversees the program, to raise rates and cut off coverage for about 35,000 of Basic Health's 100,000 recipients. With the state facing a deficit of $2.6 billion more next year, Gov. Chris Gregoire is expected to call for cutting part or all of Basic Health in the 2010 budget that she's due to release on Dec. 9.
A full cut would save the state $160 million. To prevent that, Seattle feminist group Radical Women has formed a coalition of anti-poverty, labor and health-care activists to lobby for saving and expanding the program in the legislative session that starts in January. The Sisters Organize for Survival Basic Health campaign kicked off Nov. 14 with a Rainier Valley "community tribunal" at which Docekal and other participants gave testimony about the high cost of health coverage and, on the other hand, the consequences of being without it.
The campaign is now circulating petitions that it plans to present in Olympia at a media event similar to one held Dec. 6, when protesters in bandages stood in front of Seattle's convention center.
"I've been lucky, I'm healthy," Docekal told a group of about 50 participants at the Rainier Valley Community Center. "I really worry about people who are on Basic Health who are not healthy because they've also increased the deductible. If you don't pay it, you get thrown off the plan."
Chris Smith said he paid $75 a month when he started on the plan eight years ago. His premium is now $237 a month. "That works out to a 216 percent rate of increase that I pay out of my pocket," he said, "and I'm still low income."
Cee Fisher, an insurance industry worker and SOS Basic Health organizer, said the governor and legislators are guilty of abandoning poor and working people.
"Politicians for both parties say that because of the economic crash, hard choices have to be made, there's not enough money," Fisher said. But, "Governor Gregoire has said she'll fund the Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement and consider completely eliminating programs such as Basic Health."
"Our priorities have to change," said Rodolfo Franco, president of Local 304 of the Washington Federation of State Employees. "We need to take care [of people] not just because they're poor; it's because it affects all of our social structure. It affects the way our economy works."
Franco and others said legislators must come up with new sources of revenue to fund social programs. That, Fisher said, should include instituting a progressive income tax in Washington to stop the feast-or-famine cycles and economic unfairness of the state's sales tax system. "Because we don't have income tax, the poorest pay 17 percent of their income in taxes and the richest pay only 3 percent," Fisher said.
State Sen. Adam Kline, a Democrat who represents Rainier Valley and attended the event, introduced a bill in the last legislative session that would have created an income tax to fund education. But he told participants it would be better for them to put a statewide initiative before voters than expect legislators to pass a tax on the wealthy.
"There are folks from unions, environmental organizations and other progressive organizations talking now about whether to plan ahead so that next spring there can be an initiative [with] petitions ready to go in Olympia to put a wealthy income tax ... on the ballot," Kline said.
"Now that's counterintuitive, isn't it? Because you think, 'Oh, my god, you get the voters out [and] Tim Eyman wins. Maybe, but maybe not," he said. "Much as I'm not a big fan of the initiative process, it's very purpose is to get beyond the robber barons

I have been homeless since Nov. 1994. More taxes? Yeah right. The only type of 'trickle-down-economics' that actual works is the screwing we get from the government. A well designed income tax package could lower the tax burden of 70% of Washingtonians by lowering the sales, business, and property taxes and create a more stable source of revenue for our government services. A far more responsible choice for one of the wealthiest states in the nation. hernia symptoms I could be in a country with a tax rate of 60 to 70% and do better than I have under the state and federal tax collectors of this country.

Do you know that kids influence up to 80 percent of family food spending?
Still, as a family shopper, you control what foods go into the family kitchen. For children, you decide the three Ws: What foods to offer, When, and Where. As kids learn to be good eaters, they decide the other W and the H: Which offered foods to eat, How much. (Why "How much?" Kids need to learn to listen to their body cues, in order to know when they're really hungry and when they're full.)
As you shop for family foods:
Involve your child in the cutting, mixing and preparation of all meals. Even a snack can be healthy.
Sit down together as a family to enjoy a wonderful meal and the opportunity to share the day's experiences with one another.
To encourage a healthy lifestyle, get your children involved in selecting the food that will appear at the breakfast, lunch or dinner table.
Keep all your favorite Kids Eat Right recipes in one place.

Card Access 5-Button ZigBee Fob is Tiny Home Automation Powerhouse
Card Access demos ZigBee-to-IR module, ZigBee range extender and five-button Mini Remote.
Each of the five buttons can be configured to do virtually anything that can be done within Control4—unlock the door, open the garage, launch an "I'm Home" scene, control the audio in the shower?
Huh? Yup, according to Card Access research, the bathroom is the No. 2 place (so to speak) where audio is played.
Kyle Fraughton, representing the company at ISE, says that's where he likes his tunes. Since the remote is water-resistant, he hangs it over the shower head and uses the buttons to control volume and select sources. He calls the contraption is "mini-remote on a rope."
"Once you get into the shower you usually don't have a way to control the audio," he says, "so you can now turn up the volume, turn down the volume, skip forward or skip back, change playlists [with the remote]."
Also at ISE, Card Access was promoting its relatively new Z2ir ZigBee-to-IR module for getting IR signals to devices where wire can't be run.
Fraughton also tells us that the company's ZigBee range extender has been one of the best sellers: "A lot of time dealers use them as insurance—just put one on every job they do."

I live in the Pacific Northwest and the last month or two I have started seeing Gopher activity underneath my garbage cans. The cans sit on soil patch at the end of my fence. After I observed this I also started to see two more mounds.
I am not sure what this could be. I noticed they had pushed up some soil near the foundation walls, I recall pouring used cooking oil in that spot so I am not sure if that is what attracted them. I have since disposed of used cooking oil elsewhere. I also had a crawlspace inspector show me a couple of pictures where there have been holes dug under the footing of the foundation and inside the crawlspace. He said they are rodents but didn't give me specifics. So now I am wondering if I need to try poison peanuts, traps, call pest control? What is the best method. I am sure there is no solution like an ant bait which will systematically wipe out colonies. Any suggestions? Mothballs in the crawlspace or around the foundation perhaps? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think pocket gophers are your problem. They are really destructive. I use traps. It is quite a bit of work to do the traps and there is some technique to it. I do not recommend poison. You can have a filthy stinking mess under your house or inside the walls if rats are in the mix. On my 50'x100' lot in coastal CA, I have caught as many as 20 gophers in a year! There is a plant, Euphorbia lathyris (gopher spurge) can be planted around your yard as a deterrent. The holes dug under your foundation need to be filled in carefully with concrete, making sure to pack it in really well. |

These earrings are a little longer than her usual earrings. They sure are a statement piece, they go with just about anything. The crystals are bright. I do not find these any heavier than any other Heidi's long earrings. I am not sorry that I purchased these. I would love to have the matching necklace, but it's sold out. No other jewellery is needed if you wear these. Just perfect..thanks.
Loved The Earrings But......

I purchased a couple pairs of earrings from her line. These along with one of the other ones. I thought they were very different and loved the look of them.When i tried them on, they felt so heavy on the ears . I felt like i weights on my ears. So unfortunatley i have to return them . Just to heavy.Such a shame i loved everything about the earrings. I don't understand why they have to make them so heavy . Maybe it's the metal that they make them with.I'm scoring it a 4 because they were so heavy.. Otherwise it would have been a 5 .

Like everything about these earrings ie egyptian design; coloured crystals and amethyst drop; a favourite of mine. Nicely made with omega backing; much better for wearing pierced earrings. Price point is good for quality.

Longview, Texas (Longview News-Journal) —
Pine Tree School Board President Charley Peck gazed through the glass of the press box at Pirate Stadium on Friday, surveying the newly-laid turf as crews power-washed a section of season ticket holder seats.
"You can drive pretty close to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in the west or south to Houston and you won't find a nicer facility," Peck said. "Prove me wrong."
Peck was among about 100 people invited to get a first look at the district's much awaited state-of-the-art stadium Friday morning.
The $16 million dollar athletic complex was completed on time and, Superintendent T.J. Farler said, $1 million under its approved budget.
The stadium headlined a $29.9 million bond project approved by district taxpayers in 2011. The facility will host a variety of events, including football games, track meets and even marching band contests.

text: They manipulated the research to justify eliminating use of the flag as part of the logo. This, because Governor Hickenlooper may run for President and wants to distance himself from the marijuana industry. The flag is public property and cannot be trademarked. The green triangle can and is trademarked, and will not be available to this "federally-illegal" industry. They don't really care that people from Colorado can't stand the new logo because the real audience is people outside of Colorado that they want to move here and stimulate the economy. This could have had tremendous value in terms of a buy-local campaign. Shouldn't that have been the point? Now it has seriously upset residents and the Denver Post who feel excluding the flag ignores our heritage. The Governor (a non-native) has made a bad move with this decision. Now the whole thing will probably die instead of be corrected as that will only highlight how much money he has wasted under false pretenses. That's the real story.

Mural artist Andrew Morrison, 31 of Mountlake Terrace, said that he will not work with Seattle Public Schools to digitize his iconic Native American murals, like this one of Chief Joseph, at Wilson Pacific school in North Seattle. Morrison initially agreed to help preserve several large scale murals of his on the site, which housed the Indian Heritage School, and will be torn down and totally rebuilt as a result of the passage of the Proposition 2 Capital levy. He said lack of communication from Seattle Public Schools and being passed off from contact-to-contact in the system soured his desire to volunteer any more of his time with them. "At this point, I do not trust Seattle Public Schools," said Morrison. "It was all a labor of love," he said about the murals, which he painted between 2001-2007, as he volunteered time with the Indian Heritage School and its various Native American cultural programs. "At this point, I cannot be emotionally involved."

School Appeals and Waiting Lists
Receipt of your appeal form will be acknowledged within seven working days. A statement setting out our case for not offering your child a place at the school concerned is sent to you and the appeals panel at least one week before the appeal date.Most appeal hearings take place during May, June and July, before children start in September. However, appeals for other year groups are heard throughout the rest of the year but must be heard within 40 school days of receipt of the appeal form.
Whatever your reason for appealing, you should provide in advance as much information in support of your appeal as you can. This might include particular personal circumstances including, for example, medical advice. Please note that the late introduction of evidence on the day of the appeal may cause a delay as all parties need to read the new evidence.
The appeal will be heard by a panel made up of three people, which includes parents, governors of other schools, teachers, other persons with experience of education and "lay" members (people who have no experience of education). The panel hearing the appeal will introduce themselves to you immediately before the hearing starts. At the hearing the panel will have copies of both the written submission prepared by us and the information which you have provided. A panel member should not normally hear your appeal if he or she knows you directly, is a governor of your preferred school or has been involved in your case previously.
The section that arranges appeals and sends you an invite letter is called Governance Services, which is independent from Children's Services. Appeals are held in the Civic Hall in Leeds.You are told the date and time of your appeal in advance. You will be sent a written statement seven days before your appeal is heard. Any information which you have provided in advance will also be sent to the panel members.
It is important that, wherever possible, you attend the hearing – it is very helpful for the panel hearing your appeal to hear why you want your child to attend a particular school. You can also bring someone to help you make your case, such as a friend, relative or other adviser. You are encouraged to attend appeal hearings although it is possible for an appeal to be heard in your absence if you do not attend.A representative of the local authority will attend to explain the position. The headteacher of the school might attend to clarify any factual matters about the circumstances at the school.A clerk is present at all times during the hearing. Their job is to make sure that the correct procedures are followed and that the appeal hearings are carried out fairly. They take notes of the hearing for the use of the panel only, and advise on matters of procedure. They play no part in deciding your appeal and will remain with the panel when they make their decision. At no time will either you or our representative be left alone with the panel.
Your appeal will be heard in private and the proceedings are confidential. The appeal hearing is a formal meeting and follows a set procedure. The chairperson will be strict about who can speak and when questions can be asked. However, the chairperson will always try to hold the hearing in a friendly way and guide you through the whole meeting.
The decision of the appeals panel is final and we and the school must keep to it.If you feel that the appeals panel or Education Leeds has not followed proper procedures in the appeal hearing, you can complain to the Local Government Ombudsman.
The panel is independent of the council, schools or governing bodies. It hears appeals against decisions made to refuse admission to school. In dealing with appeals the panel follows guidance in a Code of Practice drawn up by the Department for Education and advice from the Local Government Ombudsman.You can appeal when the school that you would prefer is considered to be full. Our view is that to admit any further children would in the words of the legislation 'prejudice the provision of efficient education or the efficient use of resources'. The panel may not accept this view.
The clerk will write to you as soon as possible. You will only be given a decision in writing.

Web giant Google is launching a new campaign aimed at boosting support of gay rights around the world.
The "Legalize Love" campaign is currently targeting countries like Poland and Singapore, where homosexual activities are illegal and same-sex marriages aren't recognized.
The company said the goal of Legalize Love is to "decriminalize homosexuality and eliminate homophobia around the world."
"We want our employees who are gay or lesbian or transgender to have the same experience outside the office as they do in the office," Google executive Mark Palmer-Edgecumbe said.
But some analysts say the campaign could drive advertisers away from Google.
Does Google's 'Legalize Love' campaign cross the line? Should advertisers boycott? Join the discussion on the CBN News Facebook page.

Grains have not been grown in Vermont on a large scale since the 19th century, when wheat was a large part of our agricultural market and our state heritage, as evidenced by the shocks of wheat on the state flag. Our wheat crop peaked in the state around 1830, with approximately 40,000 acres of wheat in production. With exhausted soils and changing markets, however, growers turned wheat fields to pastureland and wheat production declined. To learn more about Vermont's history with growing grains, read this article written by Mark Bushnell for The Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, (January 31, 2010): In Early Vermont, Grain Was More Than Food (pdf). The article No Grain, No Gain, from Seven Days' October 15, 2008 issue, is another great read about Vermont's grain-growing history.
For those who already grow vegetables and fruit, and/or raise animals for meat, eggs, and dairy, growing your own grains is a further means of food security. New England was once the breadbasket of the United States, and we can still grow our own grains now. In 1878, the head of the Vermont Board of Agriculture, sensing the decline in his state's wheat production, advised:
"It is not probable that we shall again produce wheat for export sale, but I do believe it to be good policy for every farmer who has a farm whose location is favorable and whose soil is suitable for the production of wheat, to raise enough for his own family consumption."
(Henry M. Seely, Report of the Vermont Board of Agriculture, 1878 ed, Vol. 5, Montpelier, VT: J. & J.M. Poland, Official State Printers, 1878.)
Seely could have been wrong about this, but whether it's for your "own family consumption" or for the commercial market, this exciting resurgence of grain-growing is certainly catching on in the northeast. Along with new agricultural technologies and grain varieties, as well as an increasing demand for locally-grown and locally-processed grains, we have a new market for northern grains.

Hadley Shopping Plaza Owner Penalized $24,430 for Environmental Violations, Must Complete Contaminant Cleanup Actions
BOSTON - The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) penalized E&A/I&G Campus Plaza Limited Partnership (E&A/I&G) $24,430 for violations of environmental regulations related to a release of contamination at the Campus Plaza Shopping Center at 454 Russell Street in Hadley. E&A/I&G was cited for failure to report a discharge of contaminated groundwater to an adjacent wetland, apply remedial additives in accordance with applicable regulations and adequately characterize the release.
MassDEP staff conducted an audit of ongoing cleanup work being conducted following a historic release of tetrachloroethene (PCE) at the site. Staff determined that the recent injection of a remedial additive below the building resulted in an increase in contaminant concentrations in indoor air in a storage area within the site building; there was no immediate or long-term risk to site workers or visitors. The audit also revealed that contaminated groundwater was discharging through the property's storm water system to an adjacent wetland and, despite knowledge of this groundwater discharge, E&A/I&G failed to report the discharge as required by regulation. Subsequent sampling of the wetland area did not identify impacts to the environment.
E&A/I&G was ordered to complete changes to the storm water system to reduce potential migration of contaminated groundwater, changes to the remedial additive program including full time operation of the existing sub-slab vapor system to control any potential vapors that may result from any future application of the remedial additive, and further assessment of the extent of contamination.
The order also requires E&A/I&G to pay $15,000 of the assessed penalty; MassDEP has agreed to suspend the remaining $9,430 provided E&A/I&G remains in compliance with the order.
"While the application of remedial additives can effectively reduce site contamination, increased monitoring and controls are needed to ensure protection of the public health and environment," said Michael Gorski, director of MassDEP's Western Regional Office in Springfield. "We are pleased that through this agreement, E&A/I&G will be completing changes to the storm water system to reduce the potential for discharge of contaminated groundwater to the wetland."
The property is a commercial shopping center that includes a grocery store and other retail businesses and consists of one parcel of land, approximately 35.7 acres in area. The site previously included a dry cleaner at which a release of PCE occurred; PCE was commonly used in dry cleaning operations.
Assessment of the property indicated that residual contamination present at the site meets applicable standards, allowing the site's continued current use. E&A/I&G agreed to further remediate site contamination, which would eliminate the need for long-term monitoring and ensure site conditions remain acceptable for current uses. Proposed future cleanup actions include periodic application of a remedial additive to treat remaining solvents present in soil and groundwater, monitoring of site contaminants and reporting to MassDEP every six months.
MassDEP is responsible for ensuring clean air and water, safe management and recycling of solid and hazardous wastes, timely cleanup of hazardous waste sites and spills and the preservation of wetlands and coastal resources.

On his way to achieving A-List Hollywood heartthrob status this year, actor Ryan Gosling became an internet meme. Mr. Gosling has a slew of sites devoted to pictures of the actor accompanied by quotes that begin with the phrase "Hey Girl" and depict Mr. Gosling as your ideal boyfriend. "Hey girl, can we just sit and watch the sunset together?" asks one exemplary posting.
Now. Mr. Gosling is the subject of a site that takes this meme to the campaign trail and packs it with backroom terminology and insidery references to voter outreach techniques. "Hey girl, you must be a predictive support model, because my numbers fit perfect against your curves," reads a typical entry on the Campaign Sick blog. Read More
Predictions! What do New York techies think will happen to the internet-centric economy in 2012? We asked some smart founders, VCs and members of the startup ecosystem where they think tech, the internet and the New York tech scene are headed in 2012 (assuming the world doesn't end either due to the apocalypse or SOPA, that is). Without further ado! Read More
So, we at Betabeat have been waiting to roll this one out for a while. Seeing as how the business year is coming to a close today—and also, like, nobody's around to read what you're about to read—there's no time quite like the present to disclose the following:
My fat, white Jewish ass has been engaged in a battle with Groupon for about three months now. Read More
How does a CEO at a massive enterprise tech company get himself fired. The letter from Jodie Fisher and her lawyers that that brought down HP's Mark Hurd surfaced today. In it they accuse him of sexual harassment.
This morning Betabeat learned that Rolling.fm co-founder and former Googler Tim Zhou had joined Tumblr. It has also come to light that another Rolling cofounder and Xoogler, Thomas Chau, has joined another prominent New York startup: Squarespace. "We liked Thomas's strong entrepreneurial spirit (take risks and run fast) along with his perfect Squarespace DNA of product design sensibility coupled with engineering awesomeness," Squarespace SVP Jesse Hertzberg wrote in an email. Squarespace, if you're not familiar, is a website builder and hosting platform (that is often likened to Tumblr, as it happens) founded in 2003. Now we just need to suss out what has become of the third Rolling co-founder, Xoogler Nhon Ma…
A New York banker is caught in a bizzare legal dispute that highlights the growing tension around individuals and their social media accounts after they part ways with their employer.
We reported on Monday about Noah Kravitz, who was sued for $340,000 by an ex-employer who claimed his Twitter account was rightfully theirs, and that each follower he had absconded with was costing them $2.50 per month in lost revenue.
Today we read on TechDirt about Linda Eagle, a Manhattan banker, who was one of three founders at the Edcomm Group. Her firm was purchased by Sawabeh Information Services in 2010 and she was terminated in June 2011.
Ms. Eagle had provided her LinkedIn password to Edcomm, and after she left, the company apparently went in and changed her name and picture to somebody else at the company. Read More
In the last week, GoDaddy has rescinded its support for the Stop Online Piracy Act, announced its opposition to the bill's Senate companion Protect IP Act, and had itself taken off Congress's list of SOPA supporters. "We have observed a spike in domain name transfers, which are running above normal rates and which we attribute to GoDaddy's prior support for SOPA, which was reversed," CEO Warrn Adelman said in a statement released yesterday. "GoDaddy opposes SOPA because the legislation has not fulfilled its basic requirement to build a consensus among stake-holders in the technology and Internet communities. Our company regrets the loss of any of our customers, who remain our highest priority, and we hope to repair those relationships and win back their business over time." Read More
Israelis have been into Bitcoin for a while: you can buy Israeli olive oil with Bitcoin, there is a BTC exchange exclusively for shekels and the Tel Aviv Bitcoin Meetup has 14 members and an event coming up on January 4. Back in October, an Israeli floated the idea of a Bitcoin hacking space in Tel Aviv. But the Israeli media have been napping on the e-currency until now. Read More
Wondering what happened to Turntable.fm's fast following, Xoogler-founded cousin, Rolling.fm? The social music site has been serving up errors for about two weeks; Tenka, the founders' previous startup, is also gone.

The Whole Truth – God's Complete Revelation – by Dr. Dan Hayden •
Dan Hayden explains when, why and how he developed his proven method of Bible memorization and retention: Mindful of the Truth
]]>Easter, like Christmas, is a religious paradox. On the one hand, it is a Christian celebration with great biblical meaning – the birth of Christ at Christmas and the resurrection of Christ at Easter. But on the other hand, it is a pagan holiday with heathen origins and with significant mythological connections. As a result of this paradox, many Christians feel like they are on the horns of a dilemma. Since it has heathen connections, they reason, should we as Christians celebrate the holiday? (33:35)
Listen to Dr. Dan Hayden's review of the Four Blood Moons Theory using the audio player below. The following is a transcription of the main points from his verbal critique:
Sometimes you think things are going to go one way, but all of a sudden it surprises you and goes a totally different way. That is my impression of this new theory of the Blood Moons prophecy. At first I thought it was going to be something special and spectacular, but I have discovered it is not quite that.
For awhile as I traveled around the country I was asked numerous times, "Have you read Jonathan Cahn's book, The Harbinger?" (It was the topic of prophetic conversation for several years.) Jonathan Cahn, a messianic rabbi in New Jersey, took two verses out of Isaiah and applied them to the 9-11 attack on the twin towers in Manhattan, New York. But the verses were really about the Assyrians attacking the northern tribes of Israel. Cahn had found several coincidences that applied to America and I believe his conclusion was correct – that America is on the downturn and that God either is judging or will judge America. But his exposition of Isaiah was a huge stretch. Then he applied the Shmita year to the 9-11-2001 attack and also to the American 2008 financial collapse – and that was a bigger stretch. All of this contained strong evidence of mystical thinking related to the Jewish scriptures. Cahn had done previous studies using the mystical approach of the Cabala, so I was not surprised to find The Harbinger to be another product of that thinking. Yet it continues to be a popular book, now with a study guide and a movie.
I begin with this illustration because Four Blood Moons: Something is About to Change is another book conceived by a messianic rabbi using the same methods of Cabalistic mysticism. Rabbi Mark Biltz of El Shaddai is the influence behind both the prophecy journalist Bill Koenig who has written on this subject, and Pastor John Hagee, author of Four Blood Moons. John Hagee is pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas that boasts about 20,000 active members. He has a television and radio ministry throughout America and in 249 nations around the world through Trinity Broadcasting Network. Pastor Hagee is also the national chairman of Christians United for Israel, which shows his strong interest in Israel and in messianic studies.
The book Four Blood Moons by John Hagee has become a best seller on the New York Times, USA Today, and Amazon book lists. It is all over the place; so if you haven't heard of it . . . you will. It is the "current interest" with regard to prophetic studies. So the question is, is this another prophetic fad (a current rage in end times scenarios) or is it a legitimate concern of biblical prophecy and something we should seriously consider?
Let me first give you some definitions:
Now, this has a connection to biblical prophecy. Joel 2:30-31 reads, And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. That is repeated by Peter on the Day of Pentecost in his sermon where he quotes from Joel 2 in Act 2:20. The other evidence of a blood red moon in Scripture is Revelation 6:12 in the sixth seal judgment - there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (emphasis mine). That has been the spark that engendered this blaze of interest with regard to the tetrads of four blood moons.
Let me share a little bit about the theory of this prophecy. There have been only three blood moon tetrads in the past 500 years that have been linked to the Jewish feasts of Passover and Tabernacles and actually coincide with significant Jewish historical events in a two-year span:
There is also a solar eclipse within each of these tetrads, therefore the theorists assume that something big is going to happen. John Hagee says, "The sun, moon, and stars are unmistakably connected to Israel and biblical prophecy and that connection inspired this book. God will use them to light up the heavens with an urgent, top-priority message for all mankind. Everything is about to change forever." That is a strong statement. Later in the book Hagee says, "We need a sign from God to get us back on the right track. The four blood moons just may be that signal." As he expounds on this, he hedges what he is about to say with this claim: "When I discover a new prophetic revelation, I go to the absolute truth of the Word of God – which is the fountain of all sound biblical research and teaching." In this statement Hagee is implying that the four blood moons revelation is absolute truth from the Word of God and that it is sound biblical research and teaching. However, I can assure you it is none of these. It is not absolute truth from the Word of God and it is not sound biblical teaching and research. I say that because of the following observations:
From 1 AD to 2100 AD there are 65 blood moon tetrads, according to the NASA Index of Lunar Eclipses. Those that have connections to Passover and Tabernacles number seven times in that period and an eighth is about to happen in 2014. That means that there have been four others previous to 1493/1494:
In other words, they chose only half of the available tetrads – no mention of the first four. In some measure, that is "cherry picking" and when it comes to research, that is not a good thing to do.
Tabernacles and Passover are predictably relevant to the lunar eclipse cycles. None of the other five feasts are, because Passover occurs on the 14th of the Jewish month Nissan and Israel calculates their calendar on the moon cycles, not on the solar cycles like we do. It is always in the middle of a lunar cycle when the moon is full. The same is true for Tabernacles, which happens in the fall of the year on the 15th of Tishri, the seventh month of Israel's calendar – again in the middle of the month. That is why there are so many tetrads that occur on these Jewish feast days.
There are also some exclusions. Whenever I do research and study I look for what is not there, which can sometimes tell you as much as what is there. Hagee is propounding that the blood moon tetrads are God's heavenly sign warning Israel of some important event. Then why are there no tetrads for even more significant events? For instance, 70 AD when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem – there are no tetrads from 1 AD to 100 AD at all. During the Jewish holocaust from 1939 to 1945 when six million Jews were exterminated by the Nazis – there were no blood moon tetrads. In 1973 during the Yom Kippur War there were no blood moon tetrads. Why not?
The significance of these tetrads is that there were historical events that affected the Jewish people and, in some respect, the Jewish nation. I discovered that they are only approximately correlative – not exactly coincidental. For instance, the Spanish Inquisition began in 1483 and nine years later the Jews were expelled in 1492 after their wealth and property were confiscated (200,000 Jews fled Spain). Hagee says, "The expulsion of the Jews from Spain was a world changing moment. God Almighty used the four blood moons of 1493/1494 as a heavenly billboard to mankind." However, the first blood moon wasn't until Passover in April 1493 – so if the blood moon was a warning to the Jews, God was one year too late! The remaining three blood moons have no significance at all to the Spanish Inquisition. So, unless you consider being off by one year a divine prophecy, this is not a match.
The second tetrad was in 1949/1950. Israel's War of Independence began when they were invaded in May 1948 and lasted for 10 months, until March 1949. The first blood moon was in April 1949, after Israel was a nation and the war was over. How could it be a warning to Israel of impending danger if it comes after everything is over? This, again, is not a match. Plus, none of the blood moons occurred on any significant date of the rebirth of the state of Israel.
The third tetrad in 1967/1968 is a little closer, corresponding to Israel's Six Day War. In June 1967 war broke out with Arab nations invading Israel and the war lasted for only six days – ending June 11, 1967. The first blood moon was April 24 (Passover), six weeks before the war. Nothing happened with regard to Israel on April 24, nor on any of the other three blood moons, but a tetrad did correspond to that time framework.
So, according to NASA there are seven more tetrads in the 21st century, eight if you include 2014/2015. The only tetrad the theorists are interested in is 2014/2015, when they say there will be some world-changing event. Passover happens on April 15, 2014 – which is tax day in the USA. Of these four blood moons the only one that can be seen in Israel will be the last one on September 28, 2015. According to John Hagee, nothing occurs on the blood moon dates in 2014/2015. This is not the rapture, in his opinion, because he believes in the imminent return of Christ – which means He can come at any minute. Then what is it that is going to happen? Something significant in the experience of Israel and there is absolutely no suggestion as to what that is – either by Mark Biltz or John Hagee.
The conclusion of the book, Four Blood Moons, falls flat. In it is no answer or suggestion. In fact, two-thirds of the book is traditional, pre-tribulation/pre-millennial prophecy that I have heard most of my life. It is only in the last third of the book that Hagee deals with the blood moons at all.
The Shmita year in Leviticus 25:1-7 says every seventh year the land needs to lay fallow and the Lord will provide in the sixth year so you will have enough. That was an important Sabbath year law and Israel spent 70 years in captivity in Babylon because they had not kept it for 490 years! Both Jonathan Cahn in The Harbinger and John Hagee in Four Blood Moons apply this law to America. It is an example of this Cabalistic mysticism. Hagee writes, "In America the judgment of violating Shmita is not linked to the land of Israel, but to our national disobedience to the Word of God."
There was a Shmita year in 2001 – 9/11 attack; in 2008 – the stock market adjustment; and the next is in 2015 – which corresponds to the tetrad as they try to weave this all together. But what about the Shmita year in 1994? America was just as bad back then as it is now, but that year is not mentioned as they pick and choose using a mystical application to America to enhance their Blood Moon Theory. The Shmita only applies to Israel, not to America or any other nation.
In the four tetrad examples above there are also solar eclipses that occur, but they are never on the same day as a blood moon like they are in the Bible. There is no association of ominous world events on the dates of these solar eclipses, but merely an assumption used to bolster the Blood Moon Theory.
What does Scripture say about the blood red moon? All Scripture references to the blood moon refer to the final day of the Lord's judgment upon the world, called the Day of the Lord. This is a time when God will judge the world by fire as He did by water in the days of Noah. 2 Peter 3:4-14 compares Noah's flood and the water to the Day of the Lord, which is a fiery judgment. It is a time of God's fierce anger and wrath upon the world. Isaiah 13:9-10 says,
Behold, the day of the Lord comes,
Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger,
To lay the land desolate;
And He will destroy its sinners from it.
For the stars of heaven and their constellations
Will not give their light;
The sun will be darkened in its going forth,
And the moon will not cause its light to shine.
There the celestial disturbance is mentioned, but it is the Day of the Lord. What is the sign that the Day of the Lord is about to begin? It is the blood moon and the darkened sun as previously referenced above in Isaiah 13, Joel 2:31 and Revelation 6:12 – plus stars falling to the earth and a great earthquake where everything geologically is moved all over the earth, even mountains. Think about it – all of this is happening simultaneously. You cannot have a blood moon and a solar eclipse at the same time – it is a physical impossibility. Yet that is exactly what happens when God does it!
Furthermore, no blood moon tetrad we have looked at has meteors and an earthquake associated with it. Lunar and solar eclipses at the same time not spread out months apart – this is a sign of the beginning of the Day of the Lord, not an incentive to look for the pre-trib rapture. What is the timing? Joel 2:31 reads, The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come (emphasis mine). In Matthew 24:29 there is another reference to the sun darkened and the moon becoming like blood immediately after the anti-Christ persecution of the people of God. So this is something that happens within the seven year period of Daniel's 70th week. Daniel 9:27 says, He will make a covenant with many for one week (one period of seven years). The anti-Christ is going to come and will make a peace covenant with Israel to guarantee their borders. The covenant is what begins the seven years and that hasn't yet happened. It may happen soon – within the 2014-2015 tetrad period – but it will not be because of the blood moon tetrad. It is after the tribulation; and that doesn't begin until after half-way through the seven years.
Here is my observation: The Day of the Lord is not the same as the great tribulation, because the Day of the Lord happens after the great tribulation and it couldn't happen in 2014/2015 because it is at least five years before it could happen. The biblical blood moon/sun darkened always refers to the same event – the beginning of the Day of the Lord. So, the darkened sun and blood red moon of the Bible has nothing to do with the blood moon tetrads; they are natural phenomena versus a supernatural occurrence when God will darken the sun and turn the moon blood red at the same time. The peace covenant of the antichrist with Israel has not yet transpired, so at least five years must take place before the biblical sign of the blood moon occurs.
As a premillennial, pre-trib, evangelical pastor who writes books on the subject of prophecy, John Hagee should have known this. Hagee says at the end of his book, "The fourth series of four blood moons is coming. God is shouting to us – something big is about to happen. However, the coming four blood moons of 2014/2015 does not mean the rapture is going to happen during that time. Why? Because the rapture could happen at any moment. What they are telling us is that God is getting ready to change the course of human history once again. He is preparing to display the next series of signs in the heavens. What is going to happen?"
He gives no answer… nothing!
Hagee continues, "The question is not about the terminal generation or when Israel's enemies are going to attack next, the question is – are you ready to meet the Lord? Are your children ready?"
Hagee has no answer to what is going to happen. The Four Blood Moon Theory is not about the terminal generation or the end times scenario for Israel or significant events in Israel. For Hagee, the four blood moons is simply a means of getting you ready for the rapture – which he thinks could happen at any moment. For that, you do not need four blood moons. Hagee believes that somehow this astronomical sign is warning us that the Lord is coming soon, although he is not sure what it really means except that the world is going to change forever. Chris White in his Bible Prophecy Talk says, "It's like saying my favorite team is going to win the Super Bowl because I am wearing my lucky shirt."
World changing events could take place during the next two years, including significant events in Israel. But the Four Blood Moons Theory is a sensationalizing of biblical prophecy and doesn't match with what the Bible actually says. It is all smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand and deception, and entertainment for the gullible. This is not serious Bible study: the events do not match, and the biblical event is still future – beyond 2015. We do not need to worry about the Passover on April 15, 2014, nor the Feast of Tabernacles next fall, nor the following year.
I am concerned that people understand the importance of biblical prophecy. But, the sensationalizing of prophecy is not beneficial to anyone when predictions are made based upon mystical thinking with regard to the Bible. We need to understand that there is a lot of sensationalizing, even from some otherwise good Bible teachers.

The Bible – Reliable Authority in the Search for Truth – by Dr. Dan Hayden •
Part 1: Divine Clockwork – Luke 1:5-25 (43:19)
God is always on time. There is no such thing as early or late with Him. His sovereign plan of the ages is finely tuned and everything He has ordained occurs on schedule. This is what Paul was referring to when he said, "But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman…" (Galatians 4:4)
The Gospel of Luke is unique as it begins by intertwining the conception and birth of John the Baptist with the virgin conception of Mary. Luke was a careful historian and knew the importance of that connection. The birth of Christ is indeed a study in DIVINE CLOCKWORK.
Part 2: Time to Prepare – Luke 1:57-80 (51:39)
According to Luke's Gospel, that first Christmas began early – six months early to be exact. Luke begins his Gospel by telling us of the special conception of John in Elizabeth's womb and then of the virgin conception of Jesus, six months later, in the womb of Mary. After describing the birth of John, he then introduces the birth of Jesus – again, six months later. Immediately following these accounts, Luke then jumps to the ministry of John as the one who prepared the way for the ministry of Jesus.
In all of this there is a pattern of lead time that, in a special way, exhibits the mercy of God. God was not only preparing the way for Jesus – He was also giving an opportunity to the people to preare themselves for the coming of Christ. God in His Mercy was giving them time to prepare for the most significant decision in their lives – will they receive Jesus Christ as the Savior.
Part 3: The Moment of Truth – Luke 1:26-56 (31:12)
Mary's miraculous virgin conception is one of the most wonderful stories in the Bible. It begins with an amazing conversation between a young Jewish girl living in Nazareth and an angel who has come directly from the presence of God. Gabriel tells Mary that the Holy Spirit will conceive a seed in her womb apart from any intimate experience with a man and Mary immediately humbles herself to accept this miracle from God – even though it will be misunderstood by others.
The scene then shifts to the hill country of Judea, about seventy miles south of Nazareth where Mary visits Elizabeth. There Jesus and John meet for the first time as babies in their mothers wombs – Dr. Luke must have loved this part of the story. Then we are treated to Elizabeth's Benedictus and Mary's Magnificat, two wonderful responses from two incredible women. What a story!
Part 4: God's Perspective of Time – Galatians 4:1-7 (41:44)
God's Perspective of Time – Galatians 4:1-7 – Our perspective of time versus God's perspective of time

Bubble Trouble
For all practical purposes, brake fluid is incompressible. Air, on the other hand, can be squeezed down into a smaller-than-natural volume, and its presence will disrupt the operation of any hydraulic system. It promotes internal corrosion, too. Ergo, it must be expelled.
The most common cause of pedal problems is failure to bench bleed a new master cylinder. Screw the supplied fittings into the outlets and place the tips of the tubes in the fluid in the reservoir. Clamp one of the master's mounting ears in a vise--don't grip around the cylinder--so the unit is as level as possible. Use a rod or drift to stroke the piston slowly. Wait at least 15 seconds between strokes to allow the low-pressure chamber to release all its bubbles and fill completely. Keep stroking until there's no more evidence of air at the ports and tube tips.
If the car has a replacement cylinder that somebody didn't bench bleed, you might be able to do it with the master in place, provided you can jack the rear of the vehicle high enough to get the cylinder to be level. Again, pump slowly and allow time between strokes.
An important precaution to observe during any bleeding procedure that involves pumping the pedal is to limit pedal travel. You don't want the delicate lips of the master cylinder's piston seals to ride so deep in the bore that they encounter rough corrosion or deposits, which can scratch them. Just throw a chunk of 2 x 4 on the floor under the pedal.
When it comes to the bleeders at the wheels, most people just open them and let the fluid squirt. Not only will this result in slippery puddles on the floor, the fluid can shoot farther than you might expect--think about the 2500-plus psi of line pressure on some ABS-equipped cars. Brake fluid is a pretty effective paint remover, and it really burns when you get it in your eye. Wear eye protection.
One convenient setup is a tube and transparent bottle kept half full of fresh fluid. There are also inexpensive 1-man bleeder hoses that contain a 1-way valve to eliminate the possibility of air being drawn back in when you release the pedal.
The bleeder cups and hoses that are often included in manual vacuum pump kits, such as those from Mighty Vac, work well. Once again, you can see what you're getting, and you don't have to keep climbing into the seat to pump the pedal.
You should also be aware of special procedures. For example, on Teves Mark II ABS systems, you can't get fluid to the rear brakes unless you turn the key on and then apply the pedal slightly. Be sure to check the shop manual if your vehicle has an antilock braking system.
Finally, there's the bleeding sequence. Since you're supposed to do the longest line in the circuit first, the traditional order is right rear, left rear, right front and left front. But with the diagonally split systems you'll find mostly on fwd cars, the order is right rear, left front, left rear then right front. ABS-equipped cars may have special procedures to follow.
Bubbles collecting in high spots in the brake system need to be removed by opening the bleeder valves to flush them out.
Bench bleed a master cylinder to get air out before installing it into the vehicle.
How It Works: The Dual Master Cylinder
Whether you call it the dual, split or tandem master cylinder, it has been used on every car sold in this country since 1967, although Cadillac had it in '62. Even so, most people don't understand its construction and operation. A typical modern specimen is of the composite variety--aluminum with a plastic reservoir--but iron 1-piece units are still around on older vehicles. Two pistons ride in the bore, and here's where we encounter some potentially confusing terminology. The rear piston is the primary, the one in the front is the secondary. This apparent misnaming resulted because the rear piston is the first to receive the signal from the brake pedal, so it does make a certain amount of sense. Kind of. Each piston has a primary cup seal at its front and a secondary at its rear. In normal braking, the pushrod from the booster forces the primary piston forward. No pressure is created until the primary seal covers the compensating or vent port from the reservoir, but once it does fluid is trapped in the chamber between the pistons and it becomes a solid column. Pressure is routed from this chamber to two wheels. A combination of the trapped fluid and the primary piston coil spring bears on the secondary piston, to which the line to the other two wheels is attached. The replenishing ports allow fluid to move freely between the chambers behind both pistons' primary cups and the reservoir, determined by demand and expansion and contraction from temperature changes. If a hose lets go or a saboteur has sawed through one of the brake lines, the other half will still provide a means of decelerating the vehicle, albeit with a lower pedal and reduced stopping power. This protective function is, of course, the dual master's reason for being.

Marketing is something many people don't like to do, but it can be as creative and as much fun as actually making the baskets. And no matter how clever and attractive your baskets are, they won't sell themselves--you need to market them.
According to Gift Basket Review magazine, the preferred types of advertising among established gift basket businesses are networking/word-of-mouth; telephone directory (Yellow Pages listing); direct mail; brochures; and newspaper advertising.
What's Inside
There's probably no business where customer service works better as a marketing tool than in gift baskets. You'll have a lot of opportunity to interact with your customers; take advantage of each contact to demonstrate your superior service. Then take it a step further. For example, one business owner we know sends handwritten thank-you notes to new customers, customers she hasn't heard from in a while, and customers who place special orders.
Here are other ways you can market your business:
- Carry a handful of brochures and business cards to hand to people in elevators, hallways and even on the street who will stop and comment on the basket you're carrying.
- When you meet someone with the potential to become a good customer, send them a complimentary basket with your brochure and several business cards.
- Rewarding customer referrals with a discount or small gift can be a smart investment--one that builds client relations and encourages future referrals.
- Christine M. periodically schedules a day to make cold calls in industrial parks or office buildings. She takes a brochure, her business card and any pertinent seasonal information, and visits as many businesses as she can.
- Be sure gift basket recipients know how to reach you when they need to send a gift by including your company name and telephone number in or on every basket you prepare at least three times.
- Help your customers find reasons to send gift baskets by promoting lesser-known holidays. Just about every occupation has a "day" to honor it.
- Direct-mail advertising is an excellent tool for gift basket businesses. One business owner sends a postcard to her entire database at the beginning of every month. If there's a holiday during that month, the card focuses on gift ideas for that holiday. If it's a no-holiday month, the card might focus on birthdays or an area of her business that's been slow.

Managed Organic Recycling (MOR) Project Makes News
Managed Organic Recycling, Inc.'s revolutionary method for composting organic waste is making news. The company's Compost Cover System, which can reduce composting time by half, was recently the subject of an article on www.environmental-expert.com, a site that reports on regulatory developments and research & market trends in the environmental industry.
The article describes MOR's covered composting for the Central Valley Water Reclamation Facility (CVWRF) in Salt Lake City. After composting at a remote location for over 15 years, CVWRF moved the operation next to its treatment plant, making odor control paramount. The new covered system allowed CVWRF to address its concerns.
The composting now takes place in two phases. In the first four-week period, known as the active phase, temperatures in the piles reach more than 150 degrees Fahrenheit. In the next phase, know as curing, temperatures stay below 131 degrees Fahrenheit for about two weeks. During the curing, the piles are uncovered and turned twice a week.
Once completed, compost is made available primarily to landscapers in the area. However, homeowners also go to the plant to purchase compost. The bagged product not only meets the demands of small gardeners, but also provides the promotional and sales tools needed for local trade shows.
MOR's other clients range from large agricultural companies to mega-municipalities. In each case, Monolithic Inc. manufactures the MOR compost covers using a special breathable Teflon-lined fabric.

CAIRO - A severe shortage of teachers in Islamic studies and lack of appropriate materials are hindering efforts to provide a proper religious education for Muslims in Germany.
"But what is the alternative? Sylvia Lohrmann, education minister of the North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), told Deutsche Welle on Wednesday, March 6.
We could not have trained the teachers before knowing whether we were going to have the classes in the first place.
Germany Moves to Recognize Islam
Bremen Recognizes Muslim HolidaysHamburg Recognizes Muslim Holidays
There are nearly 100,000 Muslim students in elementary schools in NRW, the most populous German state.
However, there are only enough teachers to educate just 2,000 students about the religion.
NRW has incorporated Islamic religious education in the curriculum this school year, becoming the first German state to take such a move.
But the start of the program has been weak because of the shortage of Islamic education teachers.
Worse still, courses to train teachers in Islamic studies at German universities have just started.
The first graduates from the University of Munster will not be ready until the spring of 2017.
Trying to solve the problem, the NRW education ministry is offering special courses to train educators on Islamic religious studies.
"On the one hand, career changers - that is, Muslims who were enrolled in Islamic studies programs - are being trained to teach religion classes, said Mouhanad Khorchide, from the University of Munster.
But, more importantly, the other group is Muslim teachers who have been teaching something else.
The lack of appropriate religious materials is further complicating the problem.
"There is a book for the five and sixth grades, but there is simply no material for higher levels, Aziz Fooladvand, who teaches in Bonn, told Deutsche Welle.
I select the topics for all the grades myself, but that takes a lot of time and effort.
He complains that there is no harmonized syllabus for the upper grades.
Despite the problems, optimism is running high that appropriate religious education will be provided to German Muslims.
"This is seen as a sign of recognition for Islam and Muslims as equal citizens in this country," he said.
Three German states have recently recognized Muslim groups as official religious bodies, paving the way for Muslims to offer their own religion classes in schools.
Germany has between 3.8 and 4.3 million Muslims, making up some 5 percent of the total 82 million population, according to government-commissioned studies.
Germans have grown hostile to the Muslim presence recently, with a heated debate on the Muslim immigration into the country.
A recent poll by the Munster University found that Germans view Muslims more negatively than their European neighbors.
Germany's daily Der Spiegel had warned last August that the country is becoming intolerant towards its Muslim minority.According to a 2010 nationwide poll by the research institute Infratest-dimap, more than one third of the respondents would prefer "a Germany without Islam."
