The new, 2013 Aston Martin Rapide S is a Very Happy Car. Just look at its face. Happy to be a part of Aston's 100th anniversary celebrations this year, and - now - happy to be making history.
How? Because Aston is preparing a very special Rapide to compete at this year's Nürburgring 24 hour race, and by special, we mean a hybrid. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Aston Martin Hybrid Hydrogen Rapide S.
But, unlike the FCX Clarity, there's no fuel cell - hydrogen is burned in the Aston's V12. It's not as efficient as a hydrogen fuel cell car, but still massively reduces the carbon footprint.
See more pics of the tech behind the Aston Martin HH Rapide S
Underneath, Aston - working with hydrogen experts Alset Global - has slotted in four high-strength carbon fibre tanks holding 3.5kg of hydrogen each, stored at a pressure of 350bar. Two are sat next to the driver, and two take up the boot. There's a hydrogen fuel rail linked straight into the V12, complete with the necessary engine management system to accompany, all approved by German motorsport governing body DMSB.
Feeling a shudder of concern coursing through your nervous system at the very idea? Don't panic. There's no way Aston would send its new Rapide S to the depths of (Green) Hell packed only with hope and hydrogen. No sir, it's a dual-fuel system, meaning Aston's prototype, 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 runs on petrol too, or indeed, a combination of both.
No word on power, but the standard, naturally-aspirated Aston Rapide S pops out some 555bhp and 457lb ft of torque and hits 62mph in just 4.9 seconds. Even with the extra hydrogen on board, expect this 'Ring Rapide to go a lot, lot faster.
Dr Bez, Aston CEO, tells us this Hybrid Rapide S "is the four-door sports car in its most versatile form." Quite. Have a peek through the pics, and let us know what you think of Aston's "amazing new technology" in the space below. Reckon it'll make it to the finish line in one piece?

Graduation is almost here. My niece Samantha is graduating! I took her senior portraits for her. She is so beautiful. I thought it would be a great gift to make her a mini album with her special photos. Let's get started.
You first step is to design your Mini Album pages in Photo Shop. The Hybrid Album Shapes Templates make this so easy! Just clip your papers and pictures to the shape with a clipping mask and embellish as you please with your digital elements.
Drag you flattened pages onto an 8.5×11 file and print. Here is my first set of prints…
You will see why I say "first set of prints" next, and remember this tip!
You are designing a book, which means you pages will go back to back…so, you can really have all your pages going the same way. This was my little learning process. I had to go back into PSE and redesign 3 of my pages by rotating the template to go the opposite way. Here is my second set of prints. Now we're cooking!
So of course we have to cut them out, let them set for a bit before you cut them out, so the ink can settle.
I am using a piece of chipboard, I didn't have a nifty Mini Album in my stash so I made my own. Just trace around your page onto the chipboard and cut.
If you have a Mini Album of course you get to skip this step!
Next we will ink the edges of all the chipboard pages, front and back, like this. I sanded them a little too.
When the ink is dry attach your photo pages to your chipboard pages. I used an extra strong glue stick for this step.
Now just punch your holes. I like to punch my first hole then line up the other pages and make a mark in the middle of the whole. That way all my holes line up. Add you ring and some ribbons and your done!
Here are my album pages.
I never really knew what to do with chipboard mini albums until I saw this...

delhi --> Kathmandu
I'm making a long trip to Kathmandu at the end of the summer and am thinking about taking some extra days on the front end for a ride from Delhi to Kathmandu. I'll be in Nepal for a couple years and would like to buy a bike to ride around Nepal while I live there. I'm thinking of perhaps buying a bike in Delhi and riding it in, then keeping it for the time I'm in Nepal. I understand that it'd be ideal to buy a Nepal registered bike, but I don't plan to ride out of Nepal and India, and so it's my understanding that a Indian registered bike would work for my situation. I also understand that I may be able to pick up a Royal Enfield cheaper in India (not that I'm married to the idea of a R.E. - really any reliable steed that'll hold up to the long distance would suffice - but then again something is to be said for the classic big thumper's style and character). My riding will not be around Kathmandu proper - but rather spent escaping the city's madness for some back road putting around up into the surrounding mountain villages.
Thoughts and suggestions??
FYI- I have about 20yrs riding experience with some good long trips under my belt. Never been riding in India nor Nepal, however. I'm a wrench and can take care of an old steed on the road...

Quality with RE is a crap shoot. The older REs are notorious, but ridiculously easy to maintain if you are mechanically inclined. The newer ones have EFI, and Japanese FI and all the jazz, but if you're screwed, you are screwed big time since none of that is typically field repairable. Other than that, they are fun bikes, and have plenty of horsepower for Indian and Nepal roads, and have a nice exhaust.
If you're buying used, you should be able to snag it for cheap, through prices for REs have gone up significantly. If you are prepared to wait, my suggestion is to get a KTM duke 390 for roughly the same amount of dough. Fun bike and plenty of power from the looks of it. Made by Bajaj, so the quality should be better than those from Austria If buying new isn't what you had in mind, another option readily available would be the Hero Honda ZMR, which is a very decent, slightly underpowered tourer. You're not going to do above 100 km/h on Indian or Nepal roads, and 200cc should be plenty for the trip.
If you're riding through into Nepal, the cops shouldn't pester you at all. To register with Nepal plates, it's a 100% or so import duty, which is pretty steep. It maybe different when an Indian crosses into Nepal for a short trip vs someone white looking for a longer term visit into Nepal, so I can't comment on how well that might work for you. In either case, good luck - you're about to embark on a trip of your lifetime!

Look into the Hero Impulse.
First "dual sport" bike in India. It's only 150cc, but I found it to be plenty of power most of the time. It struggled a bit at higher elevations, but mine was a rental and had been flogged. Pretty sure that one in decent shape, and maybe with some work done to the airbox so it can breathe better, would be fine at altitude. Some dudes from the Indian Army rode Impulses to over 6000m. Also, if you are looking at buying new, they now have a 5-year/70,000km warranty, which is definitely a first for Indian bikes.

Oh yeah, as far as places to ride between Delhi and Nepal, make sure to check out the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. Beautiful views of the mountains and really nice motorcycle roads. Nainital is a bit hectic, but most of the rest of the area is quite mellow. The Ramganga river has to be the cleanest water I've seen in India, go for a swim!

News From 91.3 KUWS
UWS welcomes veterans, and gets high grades doing it
G.I. Jobs magazine has named the University of Wisconsin-Superior a "Military Friendly" school. Two student veterans say they can see why. Laura Podgornik reports.
Andrew Clark of Duluth remembers when he found out how committed UW-Superior was to their veterans.
"Last year when the new G.I. bill kicked in, there was a delay on the payments for tuition and the director of the financial aid office just fixed it for us and trusted us enough and lent us the money so we didn't get dropped. And that was all on a trust. You know, she trusted us veterans, she didn't have to do it."
Willie Stack is currently serving at Joint Base Balad in Iraq. The UWS sophomore from Superior enjoys the teaching environment at UW-Superior. One of his favorite teachers is chemistry professor Micheal Waxman.
"He'd always like play with frogs and stuff; kind of random stuff like he'd have frogs in his PowerPoint's. I just thought it was kind of funny."
UW-Superior assistant Dean of Students Tammy Fanning is the faculty advisor for the UW-Superior Vets Club. Fanning says it's important for student military members to have a smooth transition into college.
"I just find it to be an amazing dedication to our country and you know, to all the people in our country to be able to serve like that. If there's something small that I can do within my job that makes the process of getting their education even easier for them, I will try my hardest to make that happen."
According to G.I. jobs, the ranking places UW-Superior in the top 15% of 7000 colleges and universities nationwide in services offered to veterans.Previous KUWS Articles:

Russian Institute: Lesson 17
Customers Who Bought This Product Also Bought
Three college girls are having a good time with their fingers and dildos before going to sleep, another one is whipped and double-penetrated for getting caught smoking. What about this horny girl who invites her boyfriend to come in through her window so he can join her in bed. And what about the young brunette who masturbates, dreaming of sodomy while taking a bubble bath? There are also the smarter ones, those who act like they don't understand their homework in order to share their professor's cock after class. Or the blonde who left a banana wrapped in a condom, certain that the security guard would offer her something much more real than this pleasurable substitute. Apparently life at the Russian Institute is always extremely eventful!

"Excellent smoke. I'll put them head to head with Liga Privada Undercrown any day."JM of DOTHAN, AL
"EXCELLENT SMOKER. LIT IT ONCE AND SMOKED IT FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS. HAD A COMPLEX FLAVOR TILL YOU GOT TO A NUTTY FINISH AT THE VERY END, AND I MEAN THE VERY END ABOUT 1 1/2 INCHES TILL THE END. LOTS OF FINE SMELLING SMOKE. WOULD DEFINATELY BUY A BOX!"CE of WINDBER, PA
"Excellent taste. Starts with a spice balanced by the mellow cameroon wrapper. Tastes very similar to the RP conn but with a cameroon wrapper. Undertones of pepper and almond with a nice earthy finish."Anonymous
"Great cigar, smoked it twice both cigars were great. Great value for a quality Cameroon."Anonymous
"Great Construction, Durable wrapper."JM of Saylorsburg, PA
"Great Mild cigar. Burned smooth."AK of Bethlehem, PA
"Great Morning stick with your coffee. A very nutty cameroon wrapper with notes of coffee, earth and sweet spices. Great cigar for a novice smoker."VB of San Francisco ca., .
"I enjoyed this cigar. The wrap held up extremly well till the end, as well as the flavor."MH of stoudsburg, PA
"I found wc-554 to be a very pleasant smoke. I seemed to be medium to full and spicy, a bit sweet. I would purchase this cigar as a special smoke as opposed to an every day cigar."Anonymous
"mild to medium body with peppery start followed by a light honey sweetness; smooth smoke throughout with pepper and sweet notes on an earthy,woody base flavor; burns a bit hot"Anonymous
"Nice smoke! Good even burn and flavor. Cameroon wrapper very attractive with memorable flavor. Definitely a 'must try' for mild cigar lovers!"SH
"Outer layer of wrapper started to fall apart immediately upon cutting, but stayed together enough to finish. burned evenly and had good earthy flavor. Flavor stayed the same throughout, without any harshness. Was fairly mild. Would buy again at the right price ($4-$5)"MF of Lansdowne, PA
"Overall a slight uneaven start up burn but very smooth with rich smoke to boot."DS of Easton, PA
"pepper taste was a little overbearing, but a good smoke"MB of rockville centre, NY

"Possibly the greatest cigar I've ever smoked."DT of York, PA
"Rough wrapper.Good construction.Good burn.Firm draw Nica cameroon flavor.Strong finish"SR of farmingdale, NJ
"Smooth smoke. Love your new area."JB of Lititz, PA
"The coffee, cedar and earth notes described were definately there from start to finish, and the finish is short, leaving a nice, rich tobacco taste in the back of the throat. This cigar reminds me of blends from the Padilla Signature series, and would fit perfectly there as an addition. I think Padilla made this blend! I found it to be on the med-mild strength range and would be a nice rotation in my humi ... great job!"ND of Greensburg, PA
"This cigar was consistent from start to end: no warmup period. Draw was almost too easy. Smoke was light and had a really interesting smell, that made me think of plums or the nose of a fruity Port. Not much aftertaste. Beautiful white ash that got past the half-way point from muzzle to breech before breaking off. The flavor was not overly complex, it could have used another note or two. Perhaps a little spice or butter, but some direction. Over all, very nice."GB of Cranbury, NJ
"This cigar was ok. The burn was good, but the flavor was alright."LM of Saylorsburg, PA
"This is the best cameroon I have smoked since Perdomo's Edicion de Silvio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"TS of Aluta, PA
"This was a great smoke! The only issue I have is finding another smoke as good!!! A little more robust wouldn't hurt either. Being as this was given to me by a friend who got it from a friend of thiers, I don't know where to get another."SA of Wayne, PA
"Cutting the cigar, it started to unravel at the top. In need to be more careful with this cigar. Drawing through it unlit, it seemed to draw too easily, making me wonder if it was under filled. Lighting the cigar and drawing on it, it drew well. The cigar burned evenly all the way to the end, Good volume of smoke. The flavor was spicy, had a pepper like flavor hat tingled on my tongue, The cigar tasted a little harsh but acceptable. Overall it was good enough to smoke again which is good sin"AB of Philadelphia, PA
"I looked forward to this cigar and wasn't disapointed. The cap was a bit rough and there was a single water spot on the wrapper. The flavour and aroma were both pleasing and the cigar is mild enough as a 'morning' smoke. The ash was firm with no messy flaking and the burn required very little attention."MM of Leesburg, VA
"Very nice cigar. Mild-Medium without sacrificing on flavor. Draw is a bit tough - I needed to skewer it in the 1st 1/3 to get it to draw correctly and produce enough smoke."MY of Omaha, NE
"A good smoke on the edge of great. Nice complex blending, only slightly harsh at the start, develops incredibly nice with complex flavors that aren't overwhelming. I'd call it mild to medium and consistent after the opening. It smokes kind of fast. This stick reminds me of Perdomo's Champagne robusto but with more earthy flavors and slightly less body."MP of Oak Hill, VA
"I was lead to this blend because of my appreciation for Cusano 59 and Punch Rare Corojo as well as many other Cameroon treats. I have to admit it, it's wonderful! The first half inch hits you with a burst of white pepper and mellows to that creamy cognac profile that all great cameroons exhibit. If it goes into production I would insist on a Lonsdale or Toro size because I just need more! Pair it with a Glenlivet 12yr old scotch and you will board the freight train to flavor town, my friend"BC of Northampton, PA
"I really enjoyed this one. It was recommended to me by a sales associate as being medium to full with peppery notes and it lived up to its billing. As it burned it gave a bit of a woodsy oak flavor also and i hated the fact that finished. Its a brand I'd like to smoke again."JI of Carbondale, PA
"Liked it and would buy again."MT of Easton, PA
"excellent smoke with a perfect burn I think I need more of these"DP of Newmanstown, PA
"smooth, consistent, even burning, mild, surprised by cameroon wrapper-not as flavorful as I imagined"JB of Allentown, PA
"This was a bitter starting and bitter smoking cigar. It ashed poorly and burned unevenly. It tasted acidic with hints of plastic. In fact, it smoked as though it had a plastic tip on it! A definite "do not buy again" in my cigar log. Not worthy of a gift, accept to an enemy. I am most disappointed that this was recommended to me by Joe when I visited last week. You guys are better than to offer this and charge $4 for it. A complete crap cigar."ET of Springfield, VA
"I LOVE Cameroon wrapped cigars, so I had high hopes for this one... Unfortunately, even though this stick had been properly humidified, the wrapper cracked and basically fell off after opening the cellophane and cutting. The body of the cigar, apart from the wrapper, did not feel dried out. It did not burn right; canoeing severely. I wish I could have gotten one in perfect condition because it did taste very good, but I can't justify taking a chance buying another one. This was really a shame."DP of Westfield, MA
"This was an excellent burning cigar with a smooth taste and an even burn -- a very enjoyable cigar with very little harsh after taste. Overall an excellent value stick for the smoke it provided and well recommended by the staff!. Paired it with a 2003 Rutherford Hill Merlot and the flavor was outstanding. I would buy this stick again. Lived up to the prediction of good smoke after a full meal. Nice cigar for the price."DR of Bethlehem, PA
"A surprisingly patient burn given its dimensions. Liesurely and peppery for the full length with a rich smoke. It provides an unexpectedly smooth, mild finish that is a treat all its own. It certainly leaves you wanting a second shot at it."WE of Palmerton, PA
"Great Cigar, asked for something smooth and thats exactly what I got"KC of Wernersville, PA
"It was a decent flavor, burn was terrible. But overall it was a 7 out of 10. Decent bodied cigar, good variant flavors."KC of Wernersville, PA
"I'm new at cigars so it's kind of hard to convey my exact view, however I thought it was very smooth, a great smoke, I will buy this again."HB of Apo, AE
"For me, this was a nice smoke. This cigar started off very mild in the first third, however after getting into it a little more it turned into more of a mild-medium. I enjoy these types of smokes, so this was a nice cigar in my opinion. The draw was perfect as well as the burn. I only ashed this cigar three times through the entire smoke. I definitely recommend this cigar to those that enjoy a very mild-medium smoke."MM of New Cumberland, PA
"This cigar is excellent! I really like the Rocky Patel 2003 Vintage Cameroon as well, but I think this is a better smoke. Has great flavor and the price is better than most Cameroon wrapped cigars."DB of Phillipsburg, NJ
"Started out as a smooth burn, but just went crazy at the end. Great flavor and aroma. I would smoke this one again."BL of Birdsboro, PA
"Bought on a reccomendation of one of the store assistants. Was very pleased with this cigar. Very nice construction and good burn. Pleasant flavor that is perfect for a nice relaxing end of the day smoke. I could make this my everyday smoke!"MF of Greensburg, PA
"Great cigar!! Smooth and mild to start, finished up a little stronger... Great smoke, lasted over and hour.."DL of Shrewsbury, PA
"Wc-554 this cigar starts out lite and smooth, develop to a slits leather spice. But mellow to the end. I smoked it to the tip of my fingers."BF of Newville, PA
"Good solid cigar. Balanced all around. Good burn. Doesn't stand out in any one particular way but that's a guys thing in this case. A jack of all trades. Smooth enough for the novice yet complex enough for the well heeled. I can tell why y'all sell so many of these. "AM of Freemansburg, PA
"Exceeded my expectations. What a pleasant surprise."Anonymous of Front Royal, VA
"Really enjoyed this cigar. Lots of smoke and burned evenly. Had a little trouble with the wrapper cracking near the top but got through it. A cigar I would smoke and offer after a good dinner. Could taste the sweetness throughout the cigar. Well worth the price."GE of Kenilworth, ON
"Beautiful smoke, excellent for after a great meal & friends."Anonymous of Bayville, NJ
"Great flavor and a great burn"Anonymous
"Just as described. Very similar to a Cohiba at a fraction of the price."DD of Hamburg, PA
"Overall, very nice stick. Burned very hot and cherried. Canoed slightly on the first 1/3 but evened out and burned correctly. Easy o the palate. Would purchase this in a box. Thanks!"MM of Hazle Township, PA
"Fantastic smoke that was recommended by one of the staff at the superstore... really smooth flavor and a great burn.. hope to see it in a smaller ring size in the future..."PO of MASSAPEQUA PARK, NY

Health, Exercise & Sport Sciences Personnel Train Over 200 Ugandan Soccer Coaches with State Department Grant
This past May, HESS Assistant Professor Dr. Jens Omli, TTU graduate student Lisa Berg and undergraduate student Michael Esch, and four additional instructors provided training for 200 Ugandan Soccer Coaches (114 men, 86 women) as part of the "International Sport Connection" program, which was funded by the SportsUnited Division of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
The mission of the International Sport Connection (ISC) is to help coaches transition from a narrow focus on talent development and strategy implementation to a more comprehensive vision of coaching which promotes personal growth, appreciation of others, and community development. Furthermore, ISC stakeholders seek to empower coaches with comprehensive, high quality training, to encourage a commitment to continuous learning, and to promote creativity in meeting the unique challenges that arise while coaching children and youth. The ISC was founded by Dr. Omli, along with Federation of the Uganda Football Associations Vice President, Coach Stone Kyambadde Ndibassa.
This was the second year of the program which has trained 382 coaches to date. It is the largest coach training ever conducted in East Africa, and the only training to include coaches with disabilities and a large number of women coaches. As a result of the ISC training, the number of certified female coaches in Uganda increased from 7 to 141.
Dr. Omli recently received funding from the SportsUnited Division of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to conduct a similar coach training and cultural exchange program with Ugandan basketball coaches. In May, 2012, Dr. Omli will travel to Uganda with a team of sport science experts and basketball coaches. Additionally, four of Uganda's top basketball coaches will visit Lubbock in February, 2012, as part of their U.S. Tour.

The three county high school football teams get a final warm-up this evening for the 2008 season when they play in the ATMC Wireless County Clash. The scrimmages begin 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 20, at North Brunswick High School. This is a change in the schedule.
The first games of the season are next Friday. For schedules, rosters and previews, see pages 8–9B.
As the early morning sun rose over the bleachers on the east side of Rourk Stadium, the West Brunswick soccer players found themselves not asleep in the comfort of their beds but instead amid exhausted fellow teammates circling the track. The first part of a two-a-day tryout schedule was merely half of the workouts these players had to endure to make the men's soccer team.
High school football is getting ready to kick off and the Beacon and AMTC want to make sure everyone is ready for another season.
The Beacon recently teamed up with ATMC to produce a preseason coaches' show.
Tune in to ATMC Channel 3 beginning at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 18 for the coaches' show.
During the hour-long show, Beacon reporter Caroline Curran tackles all things football with local coaches and players.
The UNCW Marine Mammal Stranding Response Team was called out to Holden Beach Saturday morning after a pygmy whale reportedly washed up on the shore at 1003 Ocean Blvd.
The whale was alive when removed from the beach, but later died.
Look for more information about what happened in this week's Beacon.
Two people died as a result of a three-car wreck Friday afternoon on U.S. 17 in Supply.
Richard Wayne Green, 40, of Bolton, was driving a 2007 Mazda northbound on U.S. 17 at about 75 mph when he attempted to pass a truck in the right-turn lane leading to Brunswick Community Hospital, 1st Sgt. J.O. Holmes, of the N.C. State Highway Patrol, said.
Green sideswiped a car in the right-turn lane and then collided with a third vehicle waiting at the stop sign to leave the hospital, Holmes said.
First published at 9:25 a.m. Aug. 15. Former Brunswick County Sheriff Ronald Hewett will have to wait one more month before being sentenced on his federal obstruction of justice charge.
U.S. District Judge W. Earl Britt will sentence Hewett at 9 a.m. Oct. 6 at the federal courthouse in Raleigh.
Hewett's sentencing was originally scheduled for Sept. 8.
He faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
What appeared to be a formality has become a shocking disappointment.
The Brunswick County Board of Education's approved personnel list released late Tuesday night did not include the recommendation to hire John Floyd as the West Brunswick High School athletic director.
Floyd, who had signed a contract for the position, had already assumed responsibilities at West and was featured in a Beacon article about the position on Wednesday, Aug. 14.

CALABASH—Mayor Anthony Clemmons has written a letter requesting Brunswick County's direct involvement in discussions about the future of the Calabash Fire Department.
In the letter dated Aug. 13 to Brunswick County Commissioner Bill Sue, Clemmons cites only three of six options he would like the county to actively explore.

(Read:┬Ā The Spa is not just for women anymore ŌĆō Balance Spa New Orleans LA (Part 1) here)
Men (and women) understand implicitly that being confident and relaxed and comfortable in their own body accentuates their appeal to others. The people around them respond positively to such calm and confidence. Consider what New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath said about the subject. ŌĆ£When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.ŌĆØ At Balance New Orleans Spa, a variety of services are available to bring out the best in you.
So, are some services more appropriate for men than others? Is there a line to draw? The fact of the matter is that any line being drawn is in a constant state of flux, so this is hard to determine. Some men may decline some treatments, just as women do. However, massage, manicures, foot baths, among many other treatments, can enhance appearance and rejuvenate the body and spirit. At Balance New Orleans Spa, we put you at ease as we maximize the benefits of each service offered.
The new millennium brings a great deal of latitude toward menŌĆÖs self-expression. There is greater tolerance available today for men to take control of their self-image and the spa represents one avenue of this trend, but a very significant one, for it influences both outer and inner wellbeing.
ItŌĆÖs true that spas still serve primarily women clientele, but according to the International Spa Association, forty-five percent of spas now include packages targeting men. [http://www.experienceispa.com/articles/index.cfm?action=view&articleID=390§ionID=4]. This is a trend that will continue, and we are now witnessing an age in which the spa treatment is an act of empowerment, not only for women, but for men as well. Balance New Orleans Spa welcomes you.

The Bats lost today 10-8.
Drew Stubbs continued his hot hitting by going 3-for-5 with a RBI triple. Stubbs has really been stinging the ball this spring. Craig Tatum went 2-for-2 with an opposite field 3-run HR and a double. Richie Gardner didn't fare too well as he allowed seven runs on eight hits in three innings.
Rick Sweet and his Louisville Bats hitters faced Bats pitchers playing for Chattanooga this afternoon and won 5-4. Sweet's Bats came back to win the game in the bottom of the ninth by scoring four runs.
Sean Henry and Danny Dorn belted back-to-back solo home runs for the first two runs in the ninth inning. Drew Anderson singled and Chris Kroski reached on an error to set up Michael Griffin, who doubled in the tying and winning runs.
Paul Janish went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and Luis Bolivar had a double, RBI and two hits on the afternoon.
Chris Michalak took the loss for the Lookouts, allowing all four runs on four hits in two and two-thirds innings. Rule 5 pickup Jose Capellon started the game and went three innings while giving up two hits and one run; he struck out two and walked three. Dave Gassner pitched the middle three innings and allowed one run on two hits.
The Bats are back in action Friday when they travel back to Fort Myers to take on the Pawtucket Red Sox.

Help earn some money
A man lost his job and was out of work long enough to lose his unemployment benifits. The bills were piling up and the job prospects were not looking good. So he came up with a plan. He sat down with his wife to go over his plan.
Husband: Honey you know I love you but we have no money comming in and the bills are piling up. I was thinking, you are still a very good looking woman, and I would bet that if we put you out on the street there would be plenty of men willing to pay you for some sex.
Wife: I love you too honey, but Im not sure I would know what to do.
Husband: Don't worry I will coach you.
So that evening the husband had his wife dress up in some of the sexiest clothes she had and they drove to the downtown area.
Husband: Honey, you stand here on this corner and look sexy. I will be standing over there in that doorway in case you need any help.
Wife: Ok
After about 5 minutes, a car drove up and the driver asked the wife "How much for some straight sex?"
Wife: Wait here on minute. She ran over to the doorway and asked her husband how much would it cost for some straight sex.
Husband: Tell him $100
Wife: Ok. She went back over to the car and told the client $100.
Client: Boy I don't have $100. How much would it be for some oral sex?
Wife: Wait here a minute. Seh ran back over to the doorway and asked, how much would it cost for some oral sex?
Husband: Tell him $50
Wife: Ok. She went back and told the client $50.
Client: Ok we got a deal.
Wife: She got into the car and waited until the client pulled down his pants. And what she saw gave her a SHOCK. She then said wait here one minute, and got out of the call and ran back to the doorway.
Husband: What now?
Wife: Can we loan him $50?

Sustainable Chicken products find success in Santa Rosa and beyond
Jennifer Johnson and Serafina Palandech created Hip Chick Farms as a natural extension of their love of food, family and their desire to provide family-friendly solutions for lunch and dinner.
Johnson is the Chef and Chief Operations Officer for Hip Chick Farms. She has a real passion for cooking and is a perfectionist in the kitchen. Johnson has worked with great chefs, such as Alice Waters at Chez Panisse. For the last ten years, Johnson has served as the Executive Private Chef for Ann and Gordon Getty. When Mrs. Getty started a Montessori school in her home, Johnson's role expanded to cooking a family style lunch for 25 children every day. The kids in the school loved her food, and when they went home at night, they would ask their moms for Chef Jen's chicken fingers. The moms in turn started asking Jen for her products.
Palandech, the President for Hip Chick Farms works closely with Sonoma County farmers to support the local economy and ensure their ingredients are the best the county has to offer.
Johnson and Palandech had the passion for local, sustainable food systems, but they found the learning curve steep for other aspects of running a small business, such as choosing a corporate structure and marketing. "We have learned the importance of strategic planning, hard work, gathering assistance from experts in the industry, as well as the in-and-outs of the food industry," Palandech recalls.
Palandech took classes at the SBA in San Francisco, and found them very helpful. When they started Hip Chick Farms, Palandech and Johnson participated in a class offered by the local Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) chapter and received mentoring from SCORE counselor, Richard Adler. SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to helping small businesses get off the ground and grow. They also attended classes at the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in Santa Rosa. SBDCs provide a wide array of training and counseling assistance to small businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs.
When seeking start-up financing, they applied for and received a Community Advantage 7(a) SBA-guaranteed loan through Bay Area Small Business Finance. Community Advantage is a pilot initiative aimed at increasing the number of SBA 7(a) lenders who reach underserved communities, targeting community-based, mission-focused financial institutions which were previously not able to offer SBA loans. The maximum loan size for Community Advantage is $250,000.
"The SBA provided us with much-needed financing for our start-up company, when most financial institutions would not help us." Johnson said matter-of-factly. "The SBA supported classes gave us the necessary information we needed on important decisions in the formation of our company – what legal structure to take, how to create a business plan, how to create financial forecasting and how to seek investors." Hip Chick Farms not only benefited from one-on-one mentoring, they became part of a community of new entrepreneurs, able to support one another.
Hip Chick Farms has begun selling their products in stores, and now their challenge is keeping up with demand. Johnson and Palendech are well aware that even as their production increases rapidly, they must maintain the impeccable quality and strong relationships with their customers, which brought them to this point. Hip Chick Farms has launched their products on the West Coast, with plans to expand to the Southwest and Rockies, and eventually nationally.
When asked for advice for other would-be business owners, Palandech exclaimed, "Don't let anyone tell you that it cannot be done, or that the economic downturn will hinder your progress. There is a world of opportunity available, with lots of resources to help you – such as the SBA!"

January Jones Splits From Boyfriend Noah Miller
Mad Men star January Jones is all about the secrets.
To this day, we still have no idea who her baby daddy is, and now we find out she has so stealthily split with her screenwriter/director boyfriend, Noah Miller, that no one was the wiser when the two hit Sundance last week to promote their new film, Sweetwater. At least, that's what sources for Us Weekly say.
January, mom to 16-month-old Xander, and Noah were first seen together publicly holding hands in August, but apparently, they called it quits a while ago. In the meantime, she is starring in Noah's movie as a butt-kicking, 19th-century widow who helps the local sheriff catch her husband's killer. Noah served as screenwriter for the movie, and his brother Logan directed.
At Sundance, Noah said he and January became "very close" on the Sweetwater set. He also said that when it comes to doing her own stunts, January is a total powerhouse. "She shoots a ton of people in this movie, and I'm telling you, not one time did she miss. It was wonderful to see her very confident."
If only our exes had such nice things to say about us!

Workforce preparation, bond planning top goal list for Corpus Christi ISD trustees
CORPUS CHRISTI - Workforce development, postsecondary readiness, parent engagement, middle school reform and future bond issue planning for new schools are among the areas Corpus Christi ISD trustees discussed Monday as future priorities.
The goal-setting session was part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District board of trustees' annual team building meeting, which is required under the Texas Education Code.
CCISD Superintendent Scott Elliff said trustee input will be relayed to his leadership team, which will use the information to enhance the district's improvement plan.
Elliff said he plans to present information related to the plan enhancements this year. He said trustee input will help district officials tie board goals to the budget planning process.
Trustees agreed that workforce development and postsecondary readiness for students are among their priorities for the district because of local demand from the Eagle Ford Shale exploration and other industry opportunities planned for the Coastal Bend.
Board President Carol Scott told trustees that Eagle Ford is estimated to have a 20- to 30-year play in the area.
Elliff said officials know not all students will go to a four-year college, but everyone will do something after high school. The school district has to help students prepare for that, he said.
"What we are talking about is high school is not enough," he said.
Trustee John Longoria suggested the district focus on how to develop ways to give students more opportunities to take industry or certification courses despite current constraints by state graduation requirements.
Officials said lawmakers may review that area during this year's legislative session in Austin.
In addition to postsecondary opportunity enhancement, trustees agreed that more needs to be done to engage middle school students because of the challenges they face in their transitions from elementary school and to high school.
Officials discussed funding more programming for students to get involved in school and the community.
Increasing parental involvement also is an area the board wants to explore, but it agreed that teachers and schools can only do so much.
Trustee Hector "Coach" Salinas said parents need to do their part.
Longoria agreed, saying that if parents worked 30 minutes each night with their children on their homework it could make a big difference.
"We'd win the war in education," he said.
Board Vice President John Marez said district officials also need to consider bond planning to update schools and facilities. He said he thinks the public would be willing to support changes for the district within the next few years because new schools can be exciting additions.

Meet the Legends of Pikes Peak
We're off to the famous race this weekend and these are the people that make Race to the Clouds smashing
Posted: 08 Aug 2012
Last year, 1132 miles away from Pikes Peak's start line, a bloke called Jeff left the Porsche Performance Centre in California wearing a 911 GT2RS and pointed it towards Colorado.
His scheme was to continue Porsche's tradition of driving cars to circuits, racing them, then driving them home. Taking on the Race to the Clouds in a standard car (albeit with the necessary modifications to meet basic safety regs), then, seemed a perfectly natural extension of the ritual...
He's a handy bloke is Jeff - he dominated the 2WD Time Attack the previous year, so it was no surprise that he destroyed the Pikes Peak record for stock production cars with his road trip-fresh 911. And his time of 11:07.869 bested his previous attempt in a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race car by 24 seconds.
His run was only topped by Rod Millen on the day - he beat Zwart by just three seconds driving a fully-prepped racer making more than 700 horsepower.
Watch his run here

Near the Beach camping.
GPS coordinates in Degrees, minutes, seconds: Latitude 17ş56'58"N - Longitude 66ş58'15"W
Update: This area has been declare a natural reserve so no longer is allowed to stay over night.
Since high school (few summer have gone by) this area has been my favorite camping spot. This was shown to me by my father who was born in this town, Guanica Puerto Rico.
This is a great place to relax and to explore the Dry Forest Topography in the area. This is not a standard RV site so power and water is not available. There is no cost in camping. The water is great for kids is a shallow bay with white sand. To access the exact spot from the GPS coordinate can only be achieved with a Popup / Tent Trailer with a vehicle with 4 X 4 traction. But dont worry if you have a larger RV or no off road vehicle just before this area in the same beach there is enough space for any RV type.
Don't forge to pack you repellant, during dawn for a few hours you will have mosquitossss. This site is pet "friendly" (must be kept on a leash).

Five hundred hours. More than 800 hours. More than 1,000 hours.
These are some of the totals that individual students in Maryland have reached in meeting their service learning requirement -- well in excess of the 45 to 75 hours required.
Five hundred hours. More than 800 hours. More than 1,000 hours.
These are some of the totals that individual students in Maryland have reached in meeting their service learning requirement -- well in excess of the 45 to 75 hours required.
Educators' attention was focused last week on the nearly 400 members of the Class of 1997 who may not graduate for lack of volunteer hours, but some standouts are at the other end of the service learning spectrum.
These students -- in every grade and county -- volunteer not for recognition but because they like what they do. Helpings others gives them a good feeling. It makes them happy.
Brian Grim, 17, may be typical.
The senior at Fort Hill High School in Cumberland volunteers at Rocky Gap State Park, building picnic tables, manning the entrance, greeting visitors and working at special events.
Brian took a special interest in the park near his home -- working on weekends, after school and during the summer.
"I am just about there all the time," he said.
He started six years ago, but recorded his time only for the past four. Once he hit his requirement, "I turned my hours in and kept going. I enjoy volunteer work," he said.
Brian is one of 43,148 Maryland students whose May graduations will depend on the service learning requirement. They are the first class in the United States to be held to a statewide standard.
The Maryland State Department of Education regards service learning as a method of experimental learning.
By participating, officials say, students study their communities, identify problems and devise solutions.
tTC The program has been controversial. Critics have tried to kill it in the General Assembly, arguing that it amounts to volunteer slavery, that students should spend more time in the classroom, and that students get credit for frivolous activities.
As of Feb. 15, almost 35,000 students had met requirements, while 1,800 had completed 75 percent of their hours.
Tiffany Butcher played a part in helping those student complete service hours.
Tiffany, 18, is a senior at Winston Churchill High School in Potomac. She is the student member of the Maryland State Board of Education.
Last year, she founded her school's Community Service Group, through which students earned nearly 3,000 hours. She recruits, trains and supervises project managers for various projects, thereby earning even more hours.
Susanne Adkins, 17, runs a produce stand with her brother every summer. They sell squash, melons and corn from their family's farm in Parsonsburg. And every week they take the extra vegetables to a local shelter and distribute them.
A senior at Parkside High School in Salisbury, Susanne also has worked in her school's office, tutors fellow students through her school's chapter of the National Honor Society, and is a 4-H Club member.
She is not sure of her total hours -- only that she is "way over" the requirement.
Francis Guns III knows his total: 1,090 hours.
The 17-year-old Perryville High School senior is den chief for a Cecil County Cub Scout Pack, helping to organize meetings and activities for younger boys. He has also spent holidays at Perry Point Hospital for the past few years. When his grandmother became ill, Francis helped the visiting nurse with her care and then began helping other patients.
Francis said he thinks the requirement is a good one. He is considering a career in nursing.
In Calvert County, Kevin Oxendine, 16, has completed more than 1,000 hours in service learning.
The junior at Northern High School in Owings said his activities range from serving as treasurer for the Maryland Association of Student Councils to membership on the Governor's Commission Service.
"I try to make a difference and take the initiative to try to change -- make things better than they were when I came here," said Kevin, who lives in Dunkirk.
At another Northern High School -- this one in the Garrett County town of Accident -- Jason Hull just "wanted to be the best."
Jason, 18, said he believes his "several thousand" hours are more than any of his classmates.
The senior volunteers for the Northern Garrett Rescue Squad and Deep Creek Volunteer Fire Department. He also is a certified emergency medical technician, firefighter and rescue technician. He has no sympathy for those who grumble about the required hours.

The Professor and I watched The Martian Child last night and it was such a wonderful movie, that I wanted to recommend it, if you have not already seen it. Based on a book of the same name by David Gerrold, John Cusack plays a science fiction writer who adopts a boy who believes he is from Mars. It is a very touching story and although the word "autism" is never mentioned in the film, it is implied, and for parents of children on the spectrum, this story will ring true and tug at your heart strings. Bobby Coleman is the endearing little boy, Dennis. Amanda Peet and Joan Cusack do a good job in supporting roles as love interest and "know it all" sister. Anjelica Huston also makes a brief appearance in a small but significant role.
For me, watching John Cusack struggle with the questions of raising a beautiful, fascinating, but quirky child was like watching myself. Should he let his little boy feel safe and happy in his "Martian" world, or should he teach him to be a "resident of earth" and where do you draw the line? Watching this film resonated with me on many levels and brought to mind the writing of several autistic bloggers, and the excellent article about Amanda Baggs in Wired this week. Grab a GFCF snack and a box of Kleenex (it does have a happy ending, by the way!) and settle in for a movie that will really make you think about the fragile uniqueness of our children and the special responsibility we have as parents to help our children grow and keep them safe, but also let them be true to their inner selves.

This is a Biblical look at the International house of Prayer's Mike Bickle and his teaching on Prophet discipline. Has God Changed how he deals with people who claim to be speaking in his Name? Since God is unchangeable, Immutable, and never changes his mind, It is doubtful that God now allows the sloppy antics we see from the New Apostolic reformation.
This was painful to do because the worship coming out of IHOP seems so glorying, but when they open there mouth to proclaim what they think God has told them then they seem to be totally off base from what the bible is saying.
I will say I should have mentioned that yes God still does miracles but in my opinion, not on stage before a television camera.

Where is your faith? God's word or Man's reasoning?
This is far more important than many believe, many think it's ok to just draw lines anywhere they want, but this is so wrong. The idea that we can choose what is to be taken literal or not in scripture plants a seed that over time can completely undermine faith. We need to stand firm on what the word of God says, if we're persecuted for it, made fun of, and hated…so what, Do you some how think you'll have faith to die for Christ? But in regards to the age of the earth you cave in because you'll be laugh at. If you can't take persecution over God's word in the form of laughter, how do you think you'll stand in light of real persecution? No where in scripture do we see an example where compromising God's word ends up converting unbelievers. Proclaim the truth, stand on his word, stop giving in to mans reasoning and believe what he says.
Mark Spence, there is one Jesus, One Bible, One Truth…
Mark Spence, from Living Waters, demonstrates that many religions have a different 'Jesus' they follow. Which Jesus do you follow?
This segment is taken from The Way of the Master TV show, Episode: Luxembourg.
This is a great vid to teach us to listen to those who think they are following Jesus…be slow to embrace anyone who mentions the name Jesus, listen closely to what they say, because many times their ideas about Jesus don't match scripture. While sharing the gospel I didn't hear the guy I was talking to say "I do my best and Jesus completes the rest" So I thought he was proclaiming the same Jesus from scripture, but later learned he was a Mormon…Works rightsousness…So pay attention so we can truly love the lost with the truth of God's love.
Scott Rodriguez of Calvary Chapel Rebukes False Prophetess Dayna Muldoon
2 Thessalonians 2:8-10
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
Pastor Scott Rodriguez
Brothers, several have been asking for some backstory/context on these videos. Mrs. Muldoon set her tent up across the street from our church (it is still there until Sunday 5/20.) I received a call from one of our people that some families that attend our church were sitting in her audience. Others were there to pray and share the gospel afterwards with people leaving. They had been accosted by a young man named Devon, (the managers son) on the evening before when he overheard one of our young men talking with someone after the service about the call of Pastor being reserved for men.
I came out at the end of her Saturday night service and spoke with her, and her manager Dennis about their perspective on what had occurred. They felt that they were being heckled. I asked what they were preaching in order to get a better idea about their ministry, and explained to them that we, as a Gospel preaching church, would be extremely sensitive to a ministry that came off as strange as hers. She then claimed to be preaching the same message I described to her: that Christ came in the flesh to die upon a cross for the sins of man; that he was buried and rose again 3 days later; and that people are commanded by God the Father to turn from sin and put their faith in His Son's finished work on the cross in order to be saved; and finally that there is no other way of salvation. She claimed that this was her message too, but that she also believed in miracles – which I agreed are still done today according to the will of God. I shared with her that if she would give me some materials to look over to her affirm her claims about her message, I would come back the next day and say a quick word to people from our Church about the need to refrain from being disruptive, disrespectful, and to hold any questions or disagreements until after her service to be voiced with her or her leaders. After some more discussion she said that would be acceptable to her.
I came back the next evening. She didn't call me up as we'd discussed. Had she, I honestly don't know what I would have said. I sat through about an hour of what I'd classify as normal charismatic preaching quite off-base, but nothing overly shocking. However, there was a transition after her message into various fraudulent acts of "ministering in the "Holy Spirit" that range from her laying hands on people who would respond by gyrating, shaking, screaming, flapping arms like being in a strong wind, knocking over chairs, throwing themselves down (not falling) on the floor. She prophesied over 3 girls that she said were seated where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were, that would be getting married in June – she acted as if she knew nothing of their personal lives, but one of them was the attorney for the ministry that I'd met the night before – the other two were her friends. She said angels were there and that there could be voices of angels heard in her music because they followed her wherever she went. Then she scared a 3 year old little girl when she called her mother up – girl in arms, and began laying hands all over her body (the Mom's).
Finally, I thought it was over, but she walked up to me where I was seated on the front row, and began "prophesying". She said, "Young man spit your gum out and face me". I got up (probably should have just walked out), and she began telling me how I thought I had come as a peacemaker, but was really there because God had used the hecklers to get me to her tent because He had something to give me through her. Then she went on and on saying all kinds of stuff, including that I said or thought that her ministry was a work of God, and that she was doing good and trying to help people. That was a lie. I never led her to believe any such thing. At that point I felt I needed to make it clear that I didn't agree with her message or ministry, and that's what I tried to do. Sadly I think it appears more as though some guy got in a prayer line or requested prayer and then seized on the opportunity – which isn't true.
My greatest desire is to see God's people warned, but I don't feel I did things perfectly. Here's why: I knew the right thing to do was to seek my Senior Pastor's approval, but as a matter of convenience I did not. He is a man of God, and would have helped find a more godly way of approaching this, but in a moment of passion I acted and entrapped myself. Please don't misunderstand, I believe once in the circumstance the worse thing I could have done is simply remained quiet, but I just feel as though Jesus would have done it differently. So while I stand behind my words to Mrs. Muldoon and would plead with people to flee from any ministry that replaces the Blood stained Gospel of Jesus Christ with a pursuit of miracles, I ask forgiveness of the Lord and my brothers for any way in which I got ahead of the Spirit of God or acted independently. Finally, please know that I'm not the bold man some think I am, I'm a man who is inconsistent and struggles with the fear of man like everyone else – we all desperately need the Cross, myself included.
P.S. I don't use face book – maybe if people know that my wife can get some sleep.
The Full Video showing "Dayna's" false prophesy concerning Pastr Scott, concidering she then rebukes him as a devil later
Well done Brother Scott, the events recorded here are a great way to see the deciption of false prophets. Do you know that if you speak for God, you can not get it wrong….
Deuteronomy 18:18-20
18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. 19 And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. 20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or[a] who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.'
Mark 13:21-23
21 And then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 But be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand.
Hellbound the ducumentary…..Get ready for the Spin
Hellbound? Teaser Trailer 1080 from Darren Hull Studios Inc. on Vimeo.
I can see it now, hell aint that bad, don't worry the church just made it sound that way so it can control you…
Revelation 20:13-15
13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
Hell is real, it is not made by the church, its in the Bible, we are to take it very seriously…
Matthew 5:28-30
28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
The mission of the Church is not to save man from hell, it to set the captives free to worship God…
Philippians 2:10-12
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
So let me make this conclusion long before this misrepresentation of hell is even released. The number one biblical issue that will continue to be reduced by man will be the call for repentance. If Hell is less of a concern, why obey? Party on mankind, after all hell no big deal…
Luke 5:31-32
31 Jesus answered them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
Repentance was a big theme to Jesus…
From Beginning to End
This was the poem Hannah Recited during the 2011 Christmas morning worship.
Does God still judge nations?
Does God still judge nations? My first thoughts on this is No…because it seem to me that once Christ set us free to have a personal relationship with him, the need for a national identities is lost. Ideally if you belong to Christ, you are not a citizen of this world.
Ephesians 2:18-20
18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
2 Timothy 2:3-5
3 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5 An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
John 15:18-20
18 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
Colossians 2:19-21
19 They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow. 20 Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"?
BUT….After Watching this teaching about Harbinger I'm beginning to think God could be still in the business of Judging nations, I in no way think this is rooted in "replacement theology" but in "Patterns" Patterns are clearly seen in scripture:
Isaiah 46:9-11
9 Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.
10 I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say, 'My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.'
11 From the east I summon a bird of prey;
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that I will bring about;
what I have planned, that I will do.
So what do you think, is God using Islam to bring judgment on America?
Somebody is wrong on the internet…
This little cartoon really hit me square between the eyes…Yes I love theology! I love doing my best to get it right for God's glory….Has this love gone to my head at times…you betcha…but God continues to pull be back to humility. He will complete the good work he started, of that I am sure.
So late at night I and many other believers spend countless hours correcting bad dortrine…Why? because we love the word of God and want the Truth known, correctly even on the internet.
Ray Comfort's Abortion Story
James 5:19-2019 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
Don't go ask Alice, she's left the Church.
Meet Alice Spicer, Wife, mother of two, and a self proclaimed Minister of Reconciliation. I mention self proclaimed, because she has left the church. This is an on going trend in our culture, if you don't like what your Elders are teaching in your church, create a blog, so your opinion is heard.
"I lost my job because I chose to proclaim the truth about the Victorious Gospel of Jesus Christ on my personal blog. Here's the kicker – I worked in a church office and the pastor fired me because he didn't want me to represent the church when I held such views "publicly." So the only way to keep my job was to hide my candle. No thanks! I am now a full time student – multimedia design." – Alice Spicer
Most likely due to the teachings from the new universalist found on the Internet Alice has left the Church….the Church? the Bride of Christ as it is called in the Bible.
Be very discerning about what you read, watch, or listen to online. This is the information generation, information over load. We must either learn how to apply the laws of logic to what we take in or know fellow believers who know how to break down the information for us. It is key to belong to a local church. Get to know the pastor, the elders, deacons, and other members. In a Church you'll find that the members are on different levels of maturity, this is a good thing. The Church is a community where the wiser lead the fools…so to speak, Foolishness is how we start out, we are not born wise.
Proverbs 22:15
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.
It is with great humility and patience that we pursue God. Always be feeding on the word of God, join a bible study, join a home group, host a home group, do everything to learn about God. The key is knowing what God has already said. The Church has 2000 years of forefathers that have laid down teachings that can be trusted. The Reformers covered many issues, from many different sides, so read their work, because many online teachers who claim they has some new angle on scripture have already been proven wrong 500 years ago.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
I've enjoyed learning on the Internet. I have had my faith shaken more then once, by some convincing presentations. In time, I held firm to the scriptures that so clearly showed that no matter how well the information was delivered, didn't make it true. Truth can only be found in God's word the Bible, trust it, for it has stood the test of time.
Closing thought, in the video Alice posted, she compared the Internet to the printing press during the time of the reformation. The big differance is anyone with a computer can get published….that's all the more reason to know your bible…Peace
