Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
You return to YHVH's wallow.
Are you a jewish infiltrator?
The royal priesthood reigns according to "the law of life and liberty in Christ Jesus."
Jesus was not created, He is the Creator.
Why would God the Father have to give the authority of the Son back to Himself???
13: For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.
Wisdom of Solomon (Apocrypha), chapter 1
Reformer, I know God loves me, and has answered my request for knowledge and true faith. I know you disregard most of the books of the prophets as base unless they were cannonized by the ancient catholic church, and disregard a man like Enoch who was not, because God took him. Or the wisdom of Solomon, because the things he said did not please the world.
Here you go Paul.Wisdom of Solomon (King James Apocrypha)http://etext.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/KjvSolo.html
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
So, whether there is an argument about what Tares actually are or not, what a TARE is NOT is a human being this is physically or spiritually destined to not be converted and purified as Silver and Gold.
Paul, you could explain this a bit better for my sake. I'm not sure I understand you. You seem to be pointing to what was originally on my mind in the beginning of this thread.
Jesus told you what a tare is, and who planted them, and what their end is. No use in my repeating His words, since you do not hear them from Him.
The tree of life is Jesus Christ.John 14:6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.John 1:3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

The Bachelorette
Emily Maynard and Daughter Ricki Reveal "Wild" Post-Thanksgiving Plans (PHOTO)
Emily Maynard and her adorable daughter, Ricki Hendrick, started off the weekend before Thanksgiving by going to a football game, and now they're continuing in the spirit of the holiday by taking part in yet another classic Thanksgiving tradition — Black Friday shopping!
Emily and her lookalike daughter packed in their car on November 23, with a couple of Ricki's friends in tow, too, for a day chasing down all those great post-Thanksgiving sales.
"Headed to the mall with this wild bunch. Wish me luck." Emily tweeted.
With those big, toothy grins and very excited faces, it looks Ricki and her friends are full of energy for their big trip. We bet they'll all have a blast shopping... as long as Mommy is able to keep them away from any extra caffeine.

Class 1, July 27:
Carving Out Sacred Time: Lisa Jansen on the Value of a Yoga and Zen Workshop Series
In Alignment: Zen Center and ZaZEN Create Zen and Yoga Program
In this practice we emphasize awakening through the Hatha Yoga and Pranayama Practices. As we move with intention and awareness we cultivate a mindful attitude. Our gentleness towards ourselves and our bodies will be the primary focus as we play with form in a gentle and kind way. Unnecessary holdings and conditions will drop away with instruction to be kind and compassionate in all of our postures and movements.
Zen Teachings will remind us of: awakening, keeping a mindful attitude, being wise, and being compassionate in our everyday life.
Class 2, August 31:
This class uses the Yin Yoga Practice as a discipline to direct our mind over and over into and towards our own conditioning and physical holding patterns. We stay still in the Yin Practice and will be given guided meditations from the teachings of Self Realization to access one's Fundamental Consciousness. Teachings to encourage students to Connect deep within the body to understand one's nature or Sat Naam....Open State of Awareness from within.
Zen Teachings will remind us of: The second Jewel, or Dharma, our universal truth, teaching, and discipline, so we learn to direct ourselves over and over toward what is true and right—and mold our life accordingly.
Class 3, September 28:
In our third class, we come together and blend the Hatha with the Yin to create balance and harmony within the mind body. We use a healing mantra, which aligns with the energy of well-being for all of humanity. Chanting and Pranayama will be included in this balanced practice. The teachings of Self Realization, Yin, and Hatha Yoga will offer a balanced body mind which in turn aligns us to peace and harmony.
Zen Teachings will remind us of: The third Jewel, Sangha, or the community of followers and non-followers and also the community of human beings and non-human beings (the universal sangha). We learn to live in peace and harmony with all beings.

Nautical Log - Thomas Walker, Harpoon Type, circa 1863 Reg. No: ST 017668
- Summary:
- Harpoon type Nautical Log, A.1, designed by Thomas Walker, England, circa 1863. It was used for the calculations of a ship's speed on the HMVS Victoria in 1865. It is similar to the 1861 pattern for a Harpoon type Nautical Log designed by Walker, but with the addition of a float plate.

Her main duties were to protect the colony of Victoria, conduct hydrological surveys, recover passengers and crew from stricken ships, and serve as a lighthouse tender.
- Description:
- The log has two sections, the body and wind vane. These are connected by a mobile joint. There a ceramic white plate set into the body and label below it.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from Lieutenant Commander G. Prideau, 1928

Wednesday, November 6, 2013
More than 1,000 participants attended Eagle Nest Elementary School (EES) on Oct. 23, for the PTA sponsored Trunk or Treat and Haunted Hallway event. Attendees dressed up in costume and came to the school from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Around 40 EES faculty, staff, and volunteers decorated the trunks of their vehicles and passed out candy. The decorations included sharks, spiders' webs, big mouths, a scarecrow, and a haunted den.
The other star attraction was the Haunted Hallway. The entry way was decorated with a graveyard and witches coven. The art room was transformed into a freaky science lab. The music room became a haven for creepy clowns on tricycles. Throw in a prisoner in jail, a body in a coffin, a chainsaw wielding maniac and the results are a show with lines that stretched in front of the school and into the parking lot.
Hundreds of families were also able to enjoy an eerie ride through the back of the school on the haunted hay ride.
On the playground, PTA members sold hot dogs, chips, and drinks. Members of PTA also received a glow stick bracelets.
EES principal Dr. Tamara Diebold commented, "We were thrilled to see so many families come out to take part in the festivities at The Nest! The combined efforts of the Eagle Nest PTA, faculty, and staff made this a night to remember."
EES PTA president Mindy Diehl added, "We are very lucky to have supportive families, faculty and staff at Eagle Nest. The event was a huge success and the PTA is already discussing improvements that can be done next year. "

I just landed my dream job - working in a big (famous) company as a frontend web developer. I've never even worked in a proper dev team before - the last 4 years since I started learning web dev I've been working on my own just building sites and apps for small business clients I found.
I want to make the best possible start in my new job but it's not going as easily as I thought it might - there's very little induction or training - its a bit like being thrown in at the deep end, and to make matters worse most of the other developers in the office whilst being friendly and supportive, are speaking a language I don't understand very well. When they do speak english they use a lot of technical terms / jargon / names of products / systems etc that I've never heard of.
I want to make a good impression and don't want to show myself up by asking too many dumb questions.
What advice would all of you seasoned veterans of development teams suggest?

This year's Daylily Festival, sponsored by Gray Station Better Hometown, will be next weekend.
There will be a car show, hosted by the Old Capital Car Club of Milledgeville.
But Tim Stewart, one of the organizers of the Cruisers, said its 300 members will not participate after the club and the current board and director of Gray Station Better Hometown could not agree on how to handle trophies and sponsorships for the car show.
Gray Mayor Gus Wilson approached Stewart and Jerry Mays in April of 2010 about putting together a car show for the festival when then Better Hometown director Pat Daniels was looking for ways to boost attendance. Stewart and Mays enlisted the support of Danny Curtis, Jimmy Edwards and other car enthusiasts in Jones County to form the car club and host the festival.
The club had about 40 members by the time of the first festival car show in 2010, and it has steadily grown to where it now has about 300 members. In addition to hosting the Daylily show each of the last three years, the club has also hosted other car shows locally, many of them benefits to raise money for those in need and to provide meals at Thanksgiving and toys for children at Christmas through Jones County's Department of Family and Children Services.

While many in the game are saying that top-four is the best Brendan Rodgers men can expect, is a title tilt beyond the realms of possibility?
Anfield boss is delighted with his relationship with the Reds' owners and their vision for the future of the club
Nobody's saying Liverpool are now going to go out and win the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League while reclaiming a top-four spot. But an improvement on last season HAS to happen.

Junior Chelsea Reischuck (South Wales, NY/East Aurora) and freshman Mario Williams (Brampton, ONT/St. Marguerite d'Youville) have been named as the Hilbert College Student-Athletes of the Month for September, 2012.
The women's volleyball team is currently rewriting the season records book after having sprinted to the team's best start in Division III history. Reischuck's overall consistent play during the first month of the season placed her in the top two rankings for team Attempts, Kills, Service Aces, Digs, Blocks and Sets Played leading her team to a 12-5 and 3-0 AMCC record. The outside hitter was credited with 129 Kills (2.22 Kills Per Set). Her 31 aces doubled her 15 total blocks for the month and she finished with 109 digs (1.88 dps). Her most impressive offensive match was in the AMCC four-set Hawk victory over D'Youville September 26 when she earned 14 kills (.281), Her best overall showing was the September 29 three-set road victory over Alfred with a 10 kill/17 dig/3 service ace/1 block performance.
Reischuck is a criminal justice major and is currently in her fifth semester at Hilbert.
Like the volleyball team, the 2012 Hilbert men's soccer program has turned the corner and is in the midst of a break-out season. Stealer team play has led the Hawks to a 4-5-1, 2-1 AMCC start with Williams contributing to the team's success. The midfielder led the team in points (18) and shots (38) in the team's 10 matches. After starting nine times, Williams scored six goals (tied for first place), assisted on six other scores (1st place) and was second in shots on goal (17) as well as being credited with two game winning goals. His performances during AMCC matches were more impressive as he led the Hawks in all offensive categories (5g,4a,20 shots/11 on goal). On October 1, Williams was honored as the AMCC Offensive Player of the Week after he scored twice and assisted on three other markers.
Williams is a business administration major currently in his first semester of studies.

Britney Spears Las Vegas Residency Confirmed — But Where?
Britney Spears headed to Vegas? The rumors are true!
First, Britney's manager confirmed that the singer was striking a deal to headline a Las Vegas residency. Then Caesar's Entertainment denied they were in talks with Britney's people. But now Huffington Post reports that the casino chain has made an announcement. Britney in Vegas is really happening. But where?
It looks like Planet Hollywood is the casino that will put Britney's name in lights! Brit isn't the only big-name star that will grace their marquee in the near future. The Voice judge Cee-Lo Green signed a residency deal with the hotel late last year.
If this Vegas residency trend continues, who will we get to judge our nation's reality singing competitions?

I am getting some anxiety going back to work in a week. I am a teacher and lost my sweet baby girl, Soleil, at the end of May this year. I of course didn't go back to work, school ended in late June. So I have been off work since the end of May and now school starts in a week. So many emotions are going through me. I feel like such a failure in front of my colleagues and students. I know they probably don't think that of me, but it is constantly going through my mind. I am really hoping that no girls come back from the summer pregnant, it is so hard watching a young teenage girl go through this, especially after what happened to me, I will feel so resentful that she is so young, knowing she is going to struggle through a pregnancy. I also hope the new freshman students who don't know what happened won't ask me if im pregnant, because I haven't lost all the weight yet. I am hoping I don't meltdown.
Im so sick of people telling me I will feel better once I go back to work, like it is some cure to make me stop thinking. I think it is so hard this first semester too because I was supposed to be on pregnancy leave until December, but I feel like Im going back with my tail between my legs in September, oh God, I just don't want to go back sometimes. How did you deal with going back to work, any expectations I should consider?

About a month ago, an up-and-coming business magazine, the Harvard Business Review, released an article called "The 10 Trends You Have To Watch." The article is penned by Eric Beinhocker, a Senior Fellow at the McKinsey Global Institute, and also had some help from Ian Davis, McKinsey's 10th Managing Director, and Lenny Mendoca, Chair of the McKinsey Global Institute and Director of their San Francisco Office. The authors have defined the trends listed below as accelerating, steady and decelerating. For the record, I feel smarter just having read it.
What more can you say about brilliant leaders from the planet's leading strategic management consultancy? As it turns out, not much, covering bases is what these guys do. Here's what the best of the best think you need to pay attention to:
- Natural resources feeling the strain – this trend is "steady." According to Beinhocker et al, "strategists should plan for a future of resource price increases, volatility and even shortages. Google, for instance, has procured land for server farms near hydroelectric power sources in the Pacific Northwest." The writers conclude that "resource productivity" will become central to competitiveness in global business.
- Globalization under fire – this trend is "decelerating." Will countries like Canada be able to reconcile their need for international talent with economic and social protectionism? Well, with emerging markets producing a growing share of of the world's college graduates and the "relentless march of information and communications technology" the answer is "yes." Knowledge work will be distributed globally. And immigrants will bridge the demographic gap in places like Canada, so these articles tell me.
- Trust in business running out – this trend is "accelerating." No kidding. "Since the recession began, there has been a precipitous decline in trust. The Edelman Trust Barometer found that 62% of adults in 20 countries trusted corporations less in December 2008 than they had a year earlier." That's right, folks. There's an Eldelman Trust Baraometer…
- A bigger role for government – this trend is "accelerating." Arguably, previous crises have resulted in permanent changes in government's role, and, according to our experts from McKinsey, this one will do the same. Creative partnerships between the public and private sectors will be important in meeting future challenges.
- Management as a science – this trend is "steady." The economic crisis has exposed the limitations of data, computing power and mathematical models as managerial science. Drawing on behavioural economics, becoming more dynamic, and integrating real-world feedback, Beinhocker argues, will see a more realistic vision of human behaviour applied to places like the finance sector. Because – wow - did those guys ever drop the ball. Well, no, not really. They kinda told us they had, like, fifty balls when, really, they had a paper clip and some old bubblegum. Or something like that.
- Shifting consumption patterns - basically, the McKinsey team has these tidbits on the changes in the way businesses manipulate the way consume stuff: prepare for slower long-term growth in global consumption, shift your investment to Asia, focus on older consumers, and find ways to offer luxuries on a budget. Hey, CEOs, as it turns out, your corporate jet might actually be cheaper than flying first class!
- Asia rising – this trend is "steady." This is a great business-language quote: "As Western consumers tighten their belts, expect [powerhouses like Haier, Chery, Tata] and other, less-known players to bring their value-oriented propositions to global markets."
- Industries taking new shape – this trend is "increasing." All companies and industries might be suffering from the recession, but the crisis gives strong players more opportunities to reshape their competitive environment.
- Innovation marching on - this trend is "steady." Aside from a lot of trimming in the world of R&D, one key example is to be noted: "Apple's resurgence as a force in consumer technology was fueled by R&D conducted from 2001 to 2003 despite a sharp decline in sales and margins. This bet paid off handsomely, putting the iPod in the pantheon of game-changing innovations born of hard times, alongside Depression-era breakthroughs such as nylons and the jet engine." I've said it before and I'll say it again: entrepreneurs love a downturn.
- Price stability in question – this trend is "accelerating." According to Beinhocker et al, managers around the world will have to question their basic assumption that the developed world provides a stable price environment. Things are going to get interesting…
So there it is. Pretty interesting stuff that can give us all – in one way or another – a more comprehensive perspective on global business, government and human consumption patterns. I think this Harvard Business Review publication is gonna go places.
What about community? We here at The Gumboot, as you know, wholeheartedly embrace ideas from everywhere. We also think that there are a few more global trends that you have to watch. Cooler ones, too. Researchers at The Recent Findings Institute have provided this blog's editorial board with some data, too. The findings have been listed in a particular order following an exhaustive statistical assessment and managerial matehmatical modeling based on humour, importance, relevance, probability, and awesomeness. Without further ado, here they are:
- The Great Divide: Fear Mongering vs. Funny Mongering - this trend is "steady." Who will win? Jon Stewart or Bill O'Reilly? Rick Mercer or CanWest Global? Stephen Colbert or Glen Beck? The Swine Flu or Rational Thought? Really, this battle has been going on ever since Billy Shakes penned some of the greatest, ripping-good-yarns about cross dressing and mistaken identity. In this ongoing struggle, it used to always be about which side could out-yell and out-spend the other; however, with the rise of the Interscape, hilariously inspired twitbloggers are now competing with the barons of mainstream media. According to this guy, it's all about coping with the syntheic creation of fear. After all, any good Historian of Humour will tell you that laughter has – ahem - historically been an accurate and common response to fear and tragedy. And nothing oozes human tragedy like Glen Beck and Alex Tsakumis. Who will triumph in the West Coast struggle of positive humour vs. negative personalized attacks on reason and grammar? Only time will tell.
- The Alliance Between Pirates and Ninjas – this trend is "decelerating." Barack Obama's pledge to halt the rise of piracy combined with backlash following a foiled attempt at world domination by the creator of Real Ultimate Power has marginalized these once prominent symbols of counterculture. Did we even know there was an alliance between ninjas and pirates? Not really. I mean, ninjas, as we know, keep to themselves, and pirates, well, they'll drink and boast and lie so much that no one really believes anything they say. In any case, what began as a partnership to slander and, eventually, destroy cowboys seems will most likely crumble beyond repair in the coming years.
- Community Service - this trend is "accelerating." Ted Kennedy was a good man. He put forward the bill for the Serve America Act. Over 80% of Canadians do some kind of volunteer work. Dr. Stephen Toope, President of UBC, has mandated that 10% of programming at the university must have a community service learning component by 2012.Yesterday's "teach English in Japan" is today's "oversee a micro-financing project in Ghana" – young people from Europe and North America are immersing themselves in the poverty of the developing world and returning home with all sorts of stories and lessons about community. Socialites from priveleged backgrounds are doing it, too! There is a dark side, though, like with the recent funding cuts to Chilliwack's Time Out program for seniors. The community rallied and volunteers, not paid staff, will now take on the task of spending time outside with the elderly. This is a slippery slope; if people will do jobs for free, other people won't get paid for them.
- Regionalism – this trend is "accelerating." And not just because of Kurt's divisive jab against the "Irate Toronto Lobby" over the Coors marketing fiasco. Going beyond our reasons to find food, adventure, business, resources, and everything else will need to be thought about long and hard by many. Prices will rise. And so will heightened ethical, social and environmental awareness. And, no offense to Toronto, but who do we have more in common with: people from The Tdot or folks from Portland, Seattle and Boise? Sam Adams and Gregor Robertson would be a great governing pair for the Republic of Cascadia!
- Johnism – this trend is "accelerating." Despite its few detractors, the general unfairness of the global political system will eventually marginalize people so much that they will look for a new ideology to follow. Any ideology.
- Production by the Masses - this trend is "accelerating." This was Gandhi's idea. Mass production is unequal and makes a lot of stuff for people in wealthy countries that can afford it. Production by the masses harnesses the priceless resource of "clever brains and skillful hands," which are possessed by all human beings. This idea suggests that such brains and minds need to be supported with first class tools. For certain, this will empower people from every society on Earth. The rise of social media is a great example of this. The fact that computers can only be purchased by the rich – except in Uruguay, where cheap computers are given out to school children – is an example of how far we have to go.
- The Rise of Africa – this trend is "steady." Long story short, when it comes to dealing with catastrophe, Africa eclipses all other continents. Famine, drought, genocide, germs, war, corruption; you name it, they've endured it. If/when things start getting really bad around the world, Africa and its people will be able to roll with hardship a lot better than us. This is purely anecdotal, but I have a hard time believing they're reacting as catastrophically to the recession, swine flu or possible-Terminator-enslavement as we are.
- Tipping Point: Technology and Germs – this trend is "accelerating." All I know is that we're going to soon be eviscerated by a combination of flu-ish germs and/or hand held, mobile entertainment devices. I don't know exactly what it is that will destroy us, but I do know that it's called The Swinepod.
- Robots Causing Trouble for Humans – this trend is "terrifying." Is anyone watching what's going on in Japan? It's like a prequel to I, Robot. All one has to do is Google "Japan robots" to see what these soon-to-be servants of humanity can do. Unfortunately for us, this servitude will undoubtedly turn on its head in the not too distant future.
- The Re-Engineering of Time – this trend is "steadily accelerating while it decelerates." As I listened to a wonderful Organizational Behaviour professor today something struck me with what he said: "the thing in business that we can never have enough of is time." Simultaneously, some movements around the world are trying to cram 36 hours into a 12 hour day while others want to slow everything down. Regardless of what side you're on, you probably know that, whether it's domination of fast-paced-efficiency or burnout-induced-relaxed-lifestyle, only one side of this binary will emerge victorious. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm writing this while riding my bike, talking on my other phone, drinking a chai latte, eating a bagel, and I think I just caused a bit of a traffic snarl…
So there it is. At least 20 trends to watch this year. What's gonna be the coolest? My money's on robots aligning with pirates to take on ninjas. Or, man, imagine a ninja robot intergovernmental agency of corporate social responsibility!
This has been a trendy experience. Thanks for your time.

Wii U Basic price slashed by 20 percent at Target
The 8GB version of Nintendo's portable console is now selling for $239.99 at Target, a full $60 off its usual price.
Will gamers bite at a Wii U console that costs $239 instead of $299?
Target is now selling Nintendo's diminutive console at a 20 percent discount off the full retail amount. The $239.99 price is for the 8GB white version of the console; the 32GB black version will still run Target customers the full $349.99.
Target's price may mark a new low for the basic edition of the Wii U. Most retailers charge the full $299.99. Amazon offers a small discount, selling it for $279.
Target's discount may be in order as sales of the Wii U have been lackluster.
Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter estimated that Nintendo sold just 55,000 Wii U consoles in April , down 19 percent from March. For the fiscal year ending March 31, Nintendo watched its sales dip by 1.9 percent, due in large part to disappointing Wii U sales .
Nintendo has blamed the weak demand for the Wii U on a lack of software titles, a problem it aims to correct this year, the company said last month:
For the "Wii U" system, launched in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, there were some delays in software development that resulted in intervals between new software title releases at the early stage of this year. Taking this into consideration, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, we plan to concentrate on proactively releasing key Nintendo titles from the second half of this year through next year in order to regain momentum for the platform.

"The sooner you start to protect your brain against Alzheimer's, the sooner you will notice improvement -- not only in recall and mental focus, but also in energy level, mood, general health, and sense of well-being," says Dr. Gary Small, M.

I have been looking I bought this promising 80-pound worth device yesterday and I am taking it back to the shop straight away.
I have been looking for the best quality undelayed sound for recording multitracks for my home recording and I must admit the device does not meet any of the above expectations.. The sound is a) digitalised and b) delayed which does not allow timely recording (it resembles the delay of a pitch-shifter or a poor quality equivalent of a whammy bar).
I thought it would be useful for some people like myself to know about this so it would save you a hassle of taking it back to the shop.
I would not recommend it to experienced instrument players.

Easy to use & works well with iPad 2

Was using a Vox Amplug before getting this. The Apogee sounds really good (better than the Vox). Works very well with Garage Band too. When I tried using it with Ampkit & iReal b apps, It took me a little while experimenting from with the Ampkit app to get the volume up to where I wanted it as at first when the playalong in iReal b started, it drowned my guitar out. It sounds great now - and have plenty of adjustment for volume in reserve. Also, no hissing/interferance due to it using the dock connecter for connection. Only experienced latency once when I got my amp settings wrong - something to bear in mind if you have a problem with this.
No batteries required
Easy to use, the light on the jam tells you what its status is
No interference/extra noise as headphone socket is not utilised by the Apogee
Sounds great!
It is very light-makes it feel a little bit 'cheap'- (although it doesn't feel like it would break easily)
Can't charge ipad when using as dock connector port is used by Apogee
Bit more pricey than some of the competition (although no batteries required helps)
In short, the pros far out weigh the cons (for me)-I am really pleased with it. …

However, I have recently had to move away and was unable to bring my amp so took the plunge with the Jam.
On the Ipad 2 I think that it is faultless. Great tone, easy to set up and absolute minimal latency/delay to the point that it is unnoticeable. Works with Garageband and Ampkit seamlessly. Only improvement would be if Garageband had a few more pedals (ie. Octave pedal).
On Macbook it's still pretty good. Links up easily although the delay varies. Once minute it is perfect and other times very noticeable. This I found is corrected though by pressing play and then stopping. Have no got it to work with GuitarRig but Garageband is excellent. Again no Octave pedal but a good array of amps and other pedals.
If buying for Ipad 2 only, it is excellent. However if you want to use it with a Mac, performance can vary although at £80, it is still the best option out there. …

The only downside I've stumbled upon is that the Jam is a bit too light, but that's not really a huge problem since it comes with a bit of velcro.

Can I plug apogy jam into a guitar amp for live gigging?
- Asked by David W
- 22-Nov-2012
Yes - Absolutely. I preform on a regular basis using this as a tool. In fact I am doing it right now Yes - Absolutely. I preform on a regular basis using this as a tool. In fact I am doing it right now. You can plug your guitar into the 1/4" on the jam and then plug the 'jam' into your iPad/MacBook. Use aplitube or GarageBand etc... You then need to use a 3.5 mm audio cable that is male on both ends to connect the headphones jack on the iPad/MacBook to your amp. You will need a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter to plug the cable into you amp, just make sure you get a mono adapter - most of the ones you will find at audio stores are all stereo - your amp and most mixing boards for live shows will be mono and if you are using other apps in the background on your iPad it will only pick up one half of the stereo sound. You can 100% use this for live shows, I do it all the time. I also use MainStage, an app for my MacBoook Pro which allows even more in depth pedal settings for live concerts. I specifically bought this to do live shows - It is fantastic! I have never even tried recording with it :) …

Good riddance, Beanie Wells
So Beanie "the Bust" Wells wants to woo the other 31 teams in the NFL? Sure Beanie, go ahead. But not from the football field on Sunday. How about you do it at their facilities during some private workouts?
You see, after your comments regarding your future -- or lack of future -- in Arizona, I think it is best to cut ties with you now and I can only hope that Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt agrees and sits your ass as an inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers. You see if all you really want to do is showcase yourself, then you are a selfish player who has no business putting on that Cardinals uniform this weekend.
I would've much rather you taken the blame for your ridiculous fumble that gave Chicago seven points on Sunday, took the blame for another lousy year and that awful 2.7 yards per carry average.
Maybe you should have said how you are looking forward to ending the season on a good note with a win against your division rival. Maybe you should have just taken the high road. But what we get out of your comments is that you really don't care about winning the football game or helping the offense get out of this season-long slump. Nothing about taking some of the load off of Brian Hoyer making his first start as a Cardinal. Nothing about having some pride. No, your comments display just how selfish you really are.
I wish the Cardinals could have been more selfish and asked for some of the money back that you stole from them since you were their first-round pick in 2009. So what did the Cardinals get out of the four years of Beanie Wells -- a lousy 2,471 yards rushing, 24 touchdowns, 10 fumbles and one season in which you were able to play 16 games.
You were so good, Beanie, that the Cardinals had to use a second round pick just two years after drafting you on another running back because you weren't panning out. If you were any good they could have used that pick on other needs -- and trust me, they have plenty of them.
So go take your ball and go home, but be careful not to drop it like you did Sunday.
Oh, and one more thing...don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Good riddance.

W.H.: No replica Oval Office
White House press secretary Jay Carney on Wednesday knocked down a report that President Obama will move out of the West Wing during renovations as soon as this summer.
RealClearPolitics reported last week that a new executive office is being readied in an office building across the way from the West Wing: "[A] facsimile Oval Office, created as a nearly identical replica of the most famous ovoid room in the world, is slated to be ready for occupancy by August if Obama is ready to move and if design challenges are resolved."
"Reports about a replica Oval Office are false," Carney said. "No one's moving from the West Wing; certainly no decisions about that have been made."
He did not say if it was being considered, and referred further questions to the General Services Administration, which has not responded to messages seeking comment.

Mission Statement:
Women for Afghan Women (WAW) is an organization of Afghan and non-Afghan women from the New York area who are committed to ensuring the human rights of Afghan women.
WAW promotes the agency of local Afghan women through the creation of safe forums where Afghan women can network, develop programs to meet their specific needs, and participate in human rights advocacy in the international sphere.
WAW raises funds for the reconstruction of Afghanistan, particularly schools and health facilities for women and children. Recognizing that the ability to earn their living is fundamental to the empowerment of women, WAW supports the development of vocational training programs for women in Afghanistan who have been denied access to education and professional training.
The inclusion of women in all decision-making processes is a requirement of a democratic society. WAW advocates for the representation of women in all areas of life in Afghanistan: political, social, cultural and economic.

Nonstick Grill Skillet 3 3
Great Gift! My grandson was very pleased with this skillet. He said he had one that wasn't as well made that bent when it heated and he was sure this one would not. He also liked the removable handle. June 23, 2013
Great skillet! I'm going on my 2nd year with this awesome skillet & highly recommend it to anyone who likes grilled veggies. We are huge fans on kabobs which are usually on skewers, but with this pan, you really don't need skewers. Very easy to clean & use! June 13, 2012
