Arise in the resurrection power of the Holy Ghost!
Posted by Elsabe Briers-Bakkes on Saturday, March 26, 2016
In corporate worship on Resurrection Sunday, 2015 I heard the Lord saying, "You have to carry the sound of the resurrection in your spirit in victory".
I was pondering on the Word, experiencing it like water washing over me and it was permeating my whole being as a vibration, realizing that the "sound" was deposited into my spirit. It was energizing my whole being as a pulsating sound of victory, while being lifted up into a higher consciousness of His Love, life and glory.
The Scripture came to me, "I am the Resurrection and the Life" (John 11:25). The Resurrection is the Person of Jesus Christ, who lives on the inside of us.
In Eph. 1:17-20 Paul prays:
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according tothe working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
King James Version (KJV)
We need to come to the revelation that when we have been united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection (Rom.6:5). There cannot be a resurrection without death. Our conformity to His death (Phil.3:10) will cause us to know Him in the power of His resurrection. We need to live a crucified life in order to enjoy the fullness of His resurrection life. This applies not only to the "age to come", but also to the here and now. (Eph.1:21)
The Resurrection power of the Spirit rises in us as a formidable force, overcoming every power of darkness. This Resurrection is the Christ Himself, living on the inside of us, causing us to be more than conquerors in every situation in the here and now. It regenerates us with His indescribable, energizing glory where we are co-seated with Christ in heavenly places in oneness. (Eph.2:6)
Whatever we carry in our thoughts and emotions emit sound, color and fragrance. When we carry the glory of the resurrection in our consciousness, it carries the sound of victory over every power of the enemy, which reverberates through us into the atmosphere, dispelling every sound of opposition to His glory as we proclaim His victory.
As we meditate on this, receiving the revelation of the sound of the resurrection power in our consciousness, no negative thing can ever influence us, intimidate us or discourage us. The light of Christ, "the Resurrection", overcomes all darkness. The resurrection power is a mighty force of victory over death, hell and the grave! It carries the fragrance of His victory as He always leads us into triumph. And it is available every moment of your life, not only at a certain time of the year or in the age to come.
King James Bible
"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place." 2 Cor.2:14
Remember, you can only release what you carry! So, get filled up with the power of the Spirit in the secret place and receive a "sound-shift"! Then every sound of discouragement, death, loss or fear will be overcome by the victorious sound of His resurrection – those dead in sin and also the physical dead shall be raised as we release that sound – if we believe!
God is fine-tuning our hearts in deep intimate love, permeating us with the sound of heaven, reviving us by the power of the Spirit, empowering us as a mighty army to take in the harvest with unheard-of miracles through that same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead! Hallelujah!
I want to encourage you to lean into His resurrection power force, causing you to rise up as a mighty warrior, carrying the glory sound of the Lord's victory into every situation, shifting the status quo by prophetic declarations and into every place you put your foot.
May the power of the resurrection restore everything around us that is dead, lost or broken as we release it by faith through our mouths in His authority, crying out, "Resurrect! Resurrect! Resurrect! in Jesus' Name!" Hallelujah!
To all our Readers, Family, Friends, Prayer warriors and Ministry partners,
Wishing you all a glorious, blessed 2016, seeing the fulfillment of God's promises and His desires in your lives as you walk out your destiny in Christ for His glory.
We sincerely thank you for your love and support, prayers, encouragement and financial contributions, impacting the nations with His glory and we pray the blessing of His manifest Presence in your lives as you pursue Him.
As I was waiting on the Lord this morning, I kept hearing the words, "Increase in the higher way". He then dropped the following Word into my spirit:
"This is a new season of increase – a time of My glory to be revealed in unexpected and unprecedented ways as you learn to live in increased sensitivity, yielded to Holy Spirit taking you to higher places than before.
Position yourself now for higher realms of seeing and hearing. Position yourself for increase on all levels: increase in your spiritual perception, which will result in greater manifestations of My presence, increase in the light of My glory poured out in revelation through encounter, increase in wisdom and understanding and the knowledge of Me. If you truly want it, some of you will walk like Enoch and your whole perception and perspective will change as you will walk in a higher way, a different consciousness and awareness, a different walk of increased encounter with Me – living from above to pour out my glory as you go, literally bringing heaven to earth in a miracle flow, taking in the harvest. It is the place of uninterrupted fellowship with Me in union-communion."
I sense the jealousy of God, wanting all of our attention and the urgency of the Holy Spirit to deal with all distractions that are vying for our attention, prioritizing our quiet time with Him above all demands of people, things and to-do's, staying tuned to His voice to bring all facets of our lives into the flow of executing His orders in His divine timing. I sense that the Lord is wanting us to come into such an intimacy with Him that He can trust us to do stealth operations in the Spirit. This will require utmost dependency on Him and utmost obedience that we will be "on the ready" to spontaneously flow with His suddenlies in blind faith and trust, following as He leads without questioning Him, even when our "logic" will have no explanation for His moves. Our faith and patience will be tested in these surprise leadings of the Holy Spirit, but the rewards in Kingdom advancement will be unimaginable. This is truly the time of the manifestation of the mature sons of God.
"but they that wait upon The Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint." Is.40:31
Looking forward to a glorious year of miracles in you and through you
The month of October is a month of Shift and those who are positioned to get strategy for the new season, are going to come forth in November in a new authority in a new anointing.
There is grace being poured out in this season to those who are immersed in the river of glory flowing from God's Presence to receive different kinds of anointing for everything you need it for. Everything that is done by the anointing is empowered to bear much fruit for the Kingdom.
As you plunge into the depth of the river of God, let it shift you in an expression of glory that you have never experienced before.
The anointing is that special empowering of the Holy Spirit to operate with power to accomplish a specific task, manifesting the glory of God, whether it be to evangelize, to do miracles, to teach or preach, to do creative artwork or any other assignment.
Everything is for the asking.
Matt.7:7-8 (Amplified Bible). "Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened."
Now is not the time to buy into discouragement and allow oppression of the enemy to rule over you, but to renew focus on the Lord and press in for what He has in store for this season in deeper places of worship.
I want to encourage each one of you to stand under the spout of the glory and be empowered for the upcoming season.
HEAVENLY PERSPECTIVE of the WARRIOR BRIDE
Those who are trying to work things out with their own wisdom, leaning on their own understanding, will find themselves going around in endless circling around the same mountain. The key is to rise up in the spirit in worship, trusting God to release heavenly perspective, directives and strategy – simply to speak His Word to the mountain (Mark 11:23-24) and it shall be removed, wielding the sword of the Spirit!
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. – Prov.3:5-6
I was praying for someone over the phone, when I saw this person from above, while sharing with her what I was seeing: I saw the different components of her life (like compartments around her) which all had "mountains" – marriage, children, job, finances and herself running around frantically to "control" everything around her and becoming hopeless and heavy under the oppression of it as she was looking at it from a human point of view, leaning on her own insight.
As she leaned into the vision, she was receiving His perspective, seeing herself IN HIM, looking down from above.
She handed over her worries to the Lord and started worshiping Him.
As she received the sword of the Word and as we started declaring the Word of the Lord over each "mountain" (in agreement), faith and hope rose up in her and she started to see the expected end of victory.
Prayer: Father I ask that you release heavenly perspective to you children as the rise up in worship and to release the Word of the Lord to speak over their situations, seeing the mountains flattened – in Jesus' Name!
I recently had a vision of myself being stripped of what I was wearing and an angel putting something on my head. I saw a bright golden warrior helmet. Suddenly I saw that I was clothed in shining gold armor down to my loins (like a Roman soldier). Underneath I was wearing a flimsy wide white wedding dress with sandals on my feet.
I knew that I was clothed in Eph. 6 armor, the Christ Himself in all His glory covering me as His bride. He spoke to me as His warrior bride to rise up and war for souls.
For those who are called into His army: You can receive the impartation of this into your spirit – seeing yourself also in this array.
I want to exhort you to get clothed in the armor of God, which is the Christ – He is the Truth around the loins of your mind, He is our Righteousness (which guards our hearts), He is the Prince of Peace, He is our shield and we live by His faith in us, He is our Salvation and He is the Word. His glory (gold) is our shield and our defense.
As we lean, not on our own understanding but on the Lord, putting our trust in Him, worshiping Him in ascension, the Holy Spirit releases His Word, either through the quickening of the Logos (written Word) or through a Rhema (revelation with Prophetic directive) into our spirit.
Receiving His Word (Sword) for ourselves, others and for every situation, we need to come into AGREEMENT with Him by FAITH, ENVISIONING the expected outcome of that Word.
Now we need to WIELD the SWORD by SPEAKING it, Prophesying, declaring, singing it back to Him,
As we SPEAK to our mountains by faith releasing His Word over it, we can SAY to the mountain "be thou removed and it will fall into the sea".
I want to encourage you to rise up (out of hopeless situations and horizontal "views"), in worship of our King and expect Him to give you heavenly perspective over your life and situations, waiting on Him to give you the "quickened" Word, the Sword of the Spirit.
See yourself as His warrior bride, clothed in the armor of the King to withstand all the wiles of the enemy, wielding the sword of His Word against every "mountain" by faith, expecting the victory as you "see" it. Jubilate in His Almighty power and might and praise Him until the manifestation of the Word. Hallelujah!
There is a global shift going on and in the spirit I heard the Lord saying, There will be a series of shifts in this season – shifts within the shift, taking you into the outbreak of my global glory outpouring into the nations!
New mantles for very specific assignments are being released in this hour to empower you with fresh anointing to do the works I have pre-ordained for you to walk in.
I sense that this shift will include a shift of focus from the natural to the supernatural, which will cause great paradigm shifts out of negative mind sets to be set on fire for the Lord, focusing on His glory to take in the harvest. It will also be a shift in they way we do things and for some it will even mean a geographical shift.
Some do not like change and they will be stuck in the same old rut, doing things the way it is comfortable for them, pleasing the flesh and those will miss the new thing that God is doing. The wisdom of God is to be easily yielded in order to flow with His plans and purposes to fulfill your destiny, shifting into the flow of the Holy Spirit and be ready for acceleration in the river of God's glory. Yes, I sense it will bring a shift into greater degrees of the manifestation of God's glory through those who believe!
"….that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places…"
This calls for a positioning in the spirit and the natural. Just like Elisha positioned himself to receive the mantle of Elijah (with the specific request for a double portion) by keeping his focus on Elijah in close fellowship, likewise we need to get focused on the Lord like never before, not looking to the left or the right, and especially not to the things behind us.
"When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you." And Elisha said, "Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." 10He said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."…2 Kings 2: 9
All our senses need to be consecrated to the Lord. As we behold Him, being tuned to Him, we get sensitized in the spirit to receive what He has in store for us, being empowered with fresh oil for our new assignments as we are transformed from one degree of glory to the next.
2 Corinthians 3:18Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
"We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at[a] the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory;[b] this is from the Lord who is the Spirit."
For those who believe and know their identity in Christ (take note of this condition) the supernatural will be natural and they will walk in unprecedented miracle power, because of the realization of the power of God on the inside. Salvations, healings, deliverances and signs and wonders will be the norm and I sense that we should be positioned to raise the dead, as this will become "normal".
"The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them." Matt.11: 5
Some are already pregnant with the vision of their new mandates, and they will need the midwives (prayer warriors) to help them push through with the birthing of their vision. Even as you experience the assaults of heaviness, discouragement, doubt and fears in this time frame, encourage yourself in the Lord and even as you come into that narrow place before delivery, do not give up, but stay focused on the Lord and push through to the manifestation of His Word! His Word shall not return to Him void, but will accomplish everything it was sent for! You just need to stay in agreement with His Word!
It is time for the sons of God to be revealed! (Rom.8:19)
It is harvest time!
Day 19 – "THE UPWARD CALL"
I know that many are sensing this "drawing" with cords of love upward into His Presence.
Paul says he regards everything as dung to know Christ.
"forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward." Phil.3:10
In all our prayers, worship, faith and decrees, let us not lose our main focus on the Lord Himself. He is All-worthy, All-powerful and so glorious! I sense we are in a place now in this time frame to set all our attention on Him and praise Him unceasingly, rejoicing and delighting in the Lord Himself, expecting His wonderworking power in our circumstances with hearts full of faith and thanksgiving.
* Worship Him with the Word for His faithfulness to bring it to pass.
* Worship Him much in tongues and in our understanding
* Worship Him for all His attributes
* DELIGHT yourselves in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Ps.37:4
The Greek Lexicon has surprised me with the meaning of this word, "delight", which actually suggests intimacy. Let's pursue intimacy with the Lord and worship Him in a very personal way in our closets, but also in the privacy of our hearts (even while in a crowd), singing love-songs to Him, enjoying His love and grace and mercy and faithfulness and who He is.
`anag (aw-nag')
to be soft or pliable, i.e. (figuratively) effeminate or luxurious — delicate(-ness), (have) delight (self), sport self.
thyself also in the LORD
Yhovah (yeh-ho-vaw')
(the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God — Jehovah, the Lord.
and he shall give
nathan (naw-than')
to give, used with greatest latitude of application (put, make, etc.)
thee the desires
mish'alah (mish-aw-law')
a request — desire, petition.
of thine heart
leb (labe)
the heart; also used (figuratively) very widely for the feelings, the will and even the intellect
That means He wants to supply in all our needs emotionally, in our wishes and intellectual yearnings. Isn't our God glorious?!
Now here is a secret: When His Presence comes, just declare, His Word (prophetic Words that we have been praying, like "the chains are broken", "Breakthrough", "Transformation", our loved ones are drawn to the Lord with cords of love, or any Scripture or anything He gives you in that moment. When we release His Word back to Him in the glory, there is a tremendous acceleration and sometimes that Word even manifests in that moment. Glory to God!
When we come to Him in such assurance of faith, He will surely do what He promises when the things we ask are well-pleasing in His sight, according to His Word, promoting His Kingdom.
I am jubilating for I sense a glory celebration is about to break loose!
Day 14 – Divine Order and Alignment
"Come up high above the noise, buzz and clutter of this world – soaring in the spirit – and see how I am shifting and shaking things into position according to My plans. As it is in heaven, so will it be on the earth as you pray and decree My Word over the nations! Come up! Come up! Hear and speak and release My order and alignment into the earth.
As the world is spinning out of control, I am calling My children into divine order to re-group, re-troop, re-align in military array to stand on attention to hear My Word and execute My orders for the day and the season ahead. Sound the alarm and call in your families, friends, church, regions and nations to take their place under my rule and reign and be part of My Kingdom army to do great exploits in these days, for the day of the Lord is drawing near."
"I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them."
Something else the Lord is highlighting is to keep on rejoicing in Him and in what He is doing through our prayers. Praise Him for the end-result and rejoice in His Almighty power!
We receive this Word from the Lord for ourselves and everyone in the body of Christ.
We declare in Jesus' Name:
Thank You, Lord! We rejoice by faith in Your Almighty power! Hallelujah!
Day 13 – The Power of Blessing
There is tremendous power in blessing. When we start speaking blessing over everyone and everything around us we will stand amazed at the way in which things turn around. When we release the priestly blessing over people, we call the glory of God over them.
DECLARATION: We bless ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
with an invasion of the glory of the Lord – in Jesus' Name! The Word tells us to even bless our enemies.
Ask the Lord to shine the light on your heart, showing you where you have stopped your own blessing by thinking and speaking or expecting negative outcome. This relates to every area of your existence. Repent of it and apply the Blood of Jesus to remove the curse thereof, replacing it with the blessing of the Word of Truth.
Many are experiencing financial difficulties, facing major mountains.
The problem becomes greater to the degree that you focus on it. Worry, fear and doubt will not change anything, but it can be very detrimental to your health and could attract exactly that which you do not want. So let's deal with the real state of the heart first:
1) Repent of any negative thought, word or expectation – e.g. stress, worry, fear, anxiety, complaining, murmuring, etc. Ask the Lord to wash you with the blood of Jesus.
2) Now hand over the issue to the Lord (Matt11:28)
3) Take your eyes off the problem and fix them on Jesus, praising Him for being your Provider in all your need.
4) Stop looking to people to solve your problem. God will speak to someone without your help and He is watching your heart to see whether you are truly trusting Him.
5) Break the curse of lack, want and poverty and believe God!
6) Give into the Kingdom what God puts on your heart and give joyfully! This is your opportunity for blessing.
7) Now declare your financial breakthrough into abundance.
8) When you receive an unexpected blessing, ask God how much He wants you to sow into the Kingdom. He will multiply your seed – IF you believe! So give into His glory as an act of worship!
9) Keep on blessing your finances with plenty for every good work and watch what God will do, rejoicing in His Word of overflowing provision.
10) Adopt a mindset of being blessed and walking in abundance. Then speak it forth by faith, fully persuaded that God will do what He says in His Word.
When praying for our family members for breakthrough, remember to do the following:
1) Repent on behalf of them for any sin, transgression or iniquity (like Nehemiah)
2) Repent of anything you yourself might have said (or someone else) in judgment against the person, which the enemy can use as accusation against him/her to hinder his/her breakthrough
3) Repent if you have put any pressure on the person to get him/her to do right through words, attitudes or actions. Also forgive yourself and release it to the Lord.
4) Repent for any generational sin which could bring a curse on the person you pray for and declare that those curses are paid for with the blood of Jesus
5) Prophesy destiny into the person and call forth his/her future in Christ
6) Bless the person(s) with the priestly blessing (we, as born again believers, are all part of the royal priesthood).
Numbers 6:23-27
King James Version (KJV)
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
I want to encourage you to count your own blessings and then start being creative, blessing every situation and everybody with that which you would desire for yourself and which would bring glory to God.
Now: Bless every person, situation and facet of your life (spirit, soul and body (health), family, finances, relationships, business or ministry) with God's grace, favor and glory in Jesus' Name!
The Lord bless you all with a new outlook and a new attitude to speak, think and act in being a blessing, bringing God glory in everything. Hallelujah!
Be blessed!

Saddest Friendship Break-Up – The League of Nations
Not sad as in, "I am heartbroken to lose the League of Nations;" sad as in, "My god, no one put any thought into this whatsoever." I mean, I'd LIKE to think that this was all a nod to the historical League of Nations also being a lovely idea in theory but falling far short of its ultimate goals, but I know that's not the case. The break-up came out of absolutely nowhere, with Sheamus, Alberto del Rio, and Rusev arguing throughout their match against Sami Zayn, Cesaro, and Kalisto, eventually leaving Sheamus abandoned to lose the match alone. Then, as if we hadn't got the message, we also had a backstage segment that ended with Sheamus officially declaring the League to be over. I don't buy any of this for one minute, because Rusev would NEVER turn on his friends like that, and him yelling "You walked out on me!" at del Rio was the only sincerely sad part of this.

Tintswalo Ngobeni, 22, runs away after King of Swaziland tries to make her his 14th virgin bride
A young woman is seeking asylum in Britain after she spurned the advances of the polyamorous King Mswati III of Swaziland and refused to join his harem of 13 wives.
Tintswalo Ngobeni, 22, fled to England from the southern African nation as a teenager after she caught the attention of the millionaire monarch, a notoriously oppressive ruler known for his lavish lifestyle.
As part of Swazi custom, King Mswati III, 45, is permitted to choose a new bride every year.
Miss Ngobeni, who now lives in Birmingham, was just 15 when the King made his advances after seeing her at the palace of his fourth wife, LaNgangaza. She said she was 'terrified' when she learned of his marriage intentions.
She added: 'He started calling me at boarding school. He would ask me if I wanted to be a part of the royal family. I had to keep quiet about my fears but I knew I didn't want to get married to him and have a life devoted to the king.
'His wives are kept in their palace, surrounded by bodyguards, and they can't really go anywhere unless the king says so. The only thing they do is go to America once a year, as the king gives them a shopping allowance.'
Miss Ngobeni was forced to abandon a comfortable lifestyle in a private boarding school as her aunt, who was her chief guardian, arranged the escape to England to join her mother, who moved to Birmingham five years earlier, fleeing an abusive husband.

Culture: The Reed Dance ceremony, pictured, is known as Umhlanga and sees thousands of Swaziland's 'prettiest virgins' dance topless for King Mswati III, every August, hoping to be his next wife.
Fears: Miss Ngobeni believes she could be arrested or even killed if she has to return to Swaziland
'I didn't have a choice,' she said. 'Nobody has ever turned down the king or dares to disobey him, so I just disappeared.'
Since her arrival in England, Miss Ngobeni has become a vocal opponent of the oppressive Swazi regime, where political opposition parties are banned and activists routinely arrested or assaulted.
Amorous: As part of Swazi custom, King Mswati II, 45, is permitted to choose a new bride every year
However, Miss Ngobeni's high-profile activities, including weekly protests outside the Swazi embassy in London with activist group Swazi Vigil, have caught the attention of the authorities in her home country and she now believes she is in more danger than ever.
She said: 'Recently I had news that people had been sent from Swaziland to come and get me, which really scares me. If I went back, I would be arrested or much worse as there are people there who are tortured, beaten up or killed for being politically active.'
Miss Ngobeni now lives in fear of having to return to Swaziland, after her first plea for political asylum in England in 2007 was denied in 2011.
Last month, she was arrested and taken to an immigration detention centre after 18 months of reporting weekly to the authorities.
However, after pressure from the TUC and the office of Roger Godsiff, Labour MP for Birmingham, Miss Ngobeni was released and has now been granted an appeal by the Home Office.
Mr Godsiff said yesterday: 'We were very pleased solicitors were successful in achieving a judicial review into Miss Ngobeni's case.'
The father of 27 children, King Mswati III was a guest at the William and Kate wedding as well as the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations last summer.
The king's sixth wife escaped from the royal harem last year, citing years of 'emotional and physical abuse' by her husband.
A spokesman from the Home Office refused to comment.

ROACHDALE-- North Putnam had problems defending Western Boone's array of power hitters Monday, losing 25-13, 25-7, 25-21, in a non-conference volleyball match on the Cougars' court.
North Putnam (0-3) didn't get going until the third game, when it led several times early and was in the hunt late. The Cougars trailed 22-21 in the third.
"We usually don't get started until the third game," North Putnam coach Jill Schreiber said. "We lack confidence until the third game. Western Boone is a really good team. Could we have been competitive in all three games? Yes, but we were intimidated by their hitters."
Unbeaten Western Boone (3-0) hasn't lost a set this season. The Stars have an impressive lineup of hitters led by 6-foot-1 Emily Harrison and 6-foot-2 Casi Neff and 5-foot-10 Nicole Chance. Harrison had 18 kills, Neff and Chance seven each.
"We have a lot of hitters and that's what makes us so dynamic," Western Boone coach Laura Lawson said. ""With so many hitters, we're difficult to defend, especially with Emily (Harrison). Nobody has stopped her yet."
North Putnam didn't have 6-foot Samantha Lucas, one of its best hitters and blockers. She's missed all three matches with a sprained ankle.
"That (playing without Lucas) hurt us," Schreiber said.
Lucas didn't play Tuesday when the Cougars travel to Tri-West. North Putnam returns home Thursday to play Turkey home. "Maybe," Schreiber of Lucas' availability.
Morgan Robinson had two kills and two blocks against the Stars. Kelsey Reed, Kenzy Asbell, Madi Asbell, Katie Welch and Kallie Brattain each had one kill. Welch had four assists and one block, Reed had three assists and Madi Asbell and Alyssa Robers each had one ace.
Tuesday at Tri-West, the Cougars lost to the Bruins 25-10, 25-12 and 25-22.
"We started out slow, but our third game we always start to play. This was a team we should have beat, it just was not our night. We had some players play well," Schreiber said.
She also said Robinson had a excellent game at the net, collecting some nice blocks and good hits. Schreiber also praised the play of Brattain and LeeAnn Davis.
"Confidence in ourselves and as a team is what we are lacking right now," she said. "Once we understand we are a good team and have the potential to win, we will be okay and win some games."

AFA Gymnast Earns MPSF Gymnast of the Week Honors
Feb. 14, 2002
Air Force Women's Gymnastics Head Coach Lisa Woody:
"First of all, Bethany Stott was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Conference Gymnast of the Week. Her performances at our previous two meets (breaking her own school record twice and helping the team break three other AFA school records) shows that she earned this recognition. To make things even better, the weekly NCAA rankings came out and Beth was not only ranked first in our conference on beam, but also in the USAG Collegiate standings, the NCAA regional standings and for the first time in AFA history for any gymnast, she was ranked first in the entire NCAA on beam! The AFA team beam average received its highest ever ranking at #3 in the entire NCAA as well...putting the team total average at #30 overall... its highest ranking ever! Go Falcons!"
"The Falcons traveled to Normal, Ill., to take on the Illinois State team. The "Ladybirds" hosted Illinois State at our first meet of the year, the Rocky Mountain Open, and won the meet. The wins are really wonderful but remember, NCAA women's gymnastics has what is called a Regional Qualifying Score. The RQS is an average of five scores with the following stipulations: three scores must be away meet scores then the next three scores, home or away, are added in and then you drop the high score. So, women's gymnastics is not really based on a win/loss record to get them to post-season championships, but rather an average of scores throughout the season. In addition, the Falcons are mostly concerned with teams and how they fare that are:
1. in our MPSF Conference (AFA, Sacramento State, UC-Davis, San Jose State and UC-Santa Barbara)
2. in our NCAA North Central Region (AFA, Iowa State, Utah, Iowa, Utah State, Southern Utah, Minnesota, Denver, BYU)
3. in our USAG Collegiate Division (AFA, TWU, UC-Davis, Seattle Pacific, Centenary, Cornell, Southern Connecticut, Alaska, Bridgeport, Winona State, Vermont, UC-Santa Barbara and MIT)
Illinois State is not included in any of these.
However, the team competed very well on their first away meet of the season."
Bars- "Started off the meet with a fall on the first person's mount... not a good way to start off, t the rest of the team stepped it up and we had no major mistakes from the other five competitors. Allison Todd had her career personal best with a 9.825." Team total on Bars= 48.375
Vault- "We had to count a fall on this event. I believe the first time thus far this season. Not bad!! Todd had an incredible vault- nailed her handspring front tuck- a vault worth a 9.80. She scored a 9.75- another career personal best for her!" Team total on Vault=47.775
Floor- "One of our favorite events to compete! We had five out of six competitors hit! What can I say? They're REALLY good on this event! C4C (Fr.) Jessa Liegl had our team high score on this event with a 9.800. She really knows how to work a crowd with her routine!" Team total on Floor=48.750
Beam- "Our premiere event! Counting our two exhibition routines along with the six in the competitive lineup, we hit eight out of eight! Bethany Stott once again, scored our team high with a 9.825 and Allison Todd received another career personal best score of 9.750." Team total on Beam= 48.600
Final Team Scores: Illinois State= 193.975 AFA= 193.500
"Since we've scored a 195.075 already this year, anything between a 193 and 195 will be very good scores that we'll be able to keep in the RQS! So, I am very pleased with the team's overall performance at Illinois State."
"The Falcons are off to Coach Woody's old stomping grounds- Denton, TX, to take on the TWU Pioneers. Hope to have as many AFA fans as possible there to cheer us on Sunday 17 Feb. @ 2pm!"
"A special Thank You for those who faxed us in Illinois! The team really loves it!
Our hotel fax number in Denton, TX is: 940-591-7736

Dowry torture victim demands immediate arrest of Odisha leader
Bhubaneswar: The daughter-in-law of former Odisha law minister Raghunath Mohanty on Saturday called for the immediate arrest of her husband and in-laws over allegations of torture for dowry.
"I demand arrest of my in-laws who subjected me to severe mental and physical torture for dowry," Barshasony Choudhury, who had married Mohanty`s son Rajasree in June last year, told reporters after recording of her statement before the Human Rights Protection Cell (HRPC) of the police.
Stating that she would be happy after seeing them (in-laws) behind bars, Barshasony said she alone knew the trauma she had undergone over dowry.
"I have been subjected to both physical and mental harassment by my in-laws and husband," Barshasony said.
Mohanty had yesterday resigned from the Naveen Patnaik Cabinet a few hours after Barshasony lodged a complaint at the Balasore Town Police Station.
She has alleged that her in-laws subjected her to torture on their demand of Rs 25 lakh cash and a Scorpio vehicle.
"I will fully cooperate with the investigation. But they must be arrested and sent to jail immediately," Barshasony said.
She added that she had given a full account of her time at her in-laws` house after marriage.
The HRPC team led by DSP Subal Kar recorded Barshasony and her parents` statements at their Balasore residence.
"The family members of complainant Barshasony have fully cooperated with the team in the investigation process," Kar said.
Meanwhile, her husband Rajasree has moved Odisha High Court seeking anticipatory bail.
The former law minister did not attend Assembly today and nor could he be contacted over phone.

Trained by D. Wayne Lukas
and ridden by Luis Saez, 2-5 favorite Will Take Charge raced behind the
honest early pace of :23 2/5 and :47 3/5 set by Right to Vote and
Razorback Stakes winner Golden Lad through the
first half-mile of the 1 1/8 mile test. He then launched his challenge
on the outside of the six-horse field as they turned for home. He first
brushed with Golden Lad, ridden by Stevens, and drifted in nearing their
eighth pole as they traveled along in 1:11
Through the final
furlong, Will Take Charge received strong right-handed urging from Saez
while battling with Revolutionary with Smith aboard until crossing under
the wire in 1:49 3/5 and three-quarters of a length
in from of his rival. Carve was another half-length back under Jesus
Castanon to take third.
Willis Horton and Three
Chimneys Farm's Will Take Charge returned $2.80, $2.20, $2.10 and the
4-year-old Kentucky-bred son of Unbridled's Song has now won seven of 17
starts. The $360,000 winner's share of the
purse increased his bankroll to $1,407,600.

Had first appointment and arrived early. Not seen until twenty minutes after appointment time. Apparently could not be seen until the optometrist seeing me arrived. Even though there was another one on the premises. Health assessment interrupted by bringing in another customer and talking loudly so unable to concentrate.

I have used the same opticians for 15 years but, due to moving house, decided to change to Boots Eldon Square (Newcastle). It is the first and last time I would use Boots opticians; I had problems with customer service every step of the way.

I discussed with the receptionist that it was not practicable for me to collect it in person from my old opticians as she… Read Full ReviewVisit boots.com

I would like to express my gratitude to Surayya at the Wakefield branch of Boots opticians. I had my eyes tested there but decided to buy glasses online as Boots do not stock the frames I wanted. The glasses gave me headaches so I took them into Boots to see if they were the correct prescription. Surayya took readings, provided me with them and measured my PD to provide me with the information I needed to go back to the people that made my lenses.

Dreadful service from the very first time I walked in the door.

Went to Boots Optician to have my eye check up after 15 years. The actual optician was nice and work efficiently. But the girl who did the blind spot eye test was careless. She made me do 4 times test altogether because she gave wrong instruction and procedures.

kind of risky to go long.
How'd that work out for Lipitor and Viagra?
I would say riskier to go short especially given both trials seem to have been rigged to succeed. Even Adam F alluded to that among his comments to one of recent articles.
We were kind of posting the same thing at the same time. But even riskier to go short IMHO
Sentiment: Hold
im kind of suprised this hasnt shot up to 17 by now. glad in a way. it will come in time.

Studies link hormone use to higher risk for breast and ovarian cancers
ATLANTA -- Research on two continents signaled more bad news for menopause hormones, offering the strongest evidence yet that they can raise the risk of breast cancer and are tied to a slightly higher risk of ovarian cancer.
New U.S. government numbers showed that breast cancer rates leveled off in 2004 after plunging in 2003 -- the year after millions of women stopped taking hormones because a big study tied them to higher heart, stroke and breast cancer risks. Experts said the leveling off shows that the 2003 drop in the cancer rate was real and not a fluke.
From 2001 to 2004, breast cancer rates fell almost 9 percent -- a dramatic decline, researchers report in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. The trend was even stronger for the most common form of the disease -- tumors whose growth is fueled by hormones. Those rates fell almost 15 percent among women ages 50 to 69, the group most likely to have been on hormone pills.
At the same time, a study of nearly 1 million women in the United Kingdom showed that those who took hormones after menopause were 20 percent more likely to develop ovarian cancer or die from it than women who never took the pills. That study was published online by the London-based journal The Lancet.
For consumers, the new research doesn't change the advice to use the lowest dose for the shortest time possible for hot flashes and other menopause symptoms that can't otherwise be controlled.
For cautious scientists, the new breast cancer numbers were more evidence of the hormone-breast cancer link.
"The story has gotten stronger," said Dr. Peter Ravdin, a biostatistician at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston who led the research.
Some were skeptical several months ago when Ravdin and National Cancer Institute researchers first reported the 2003 drop in the breast cancer rate. The new numbers, which add 2004, prove this was no fluke, said Dr. Julie Gralow, a spokeswoman for the American Society of Clinical Oncology and cancer expert at the University of Washington in Seattle.
"Because it didn't bump back up again," it supports the idea that the rate has stabilized at a new lower level, said Gralow, who had no role in the study.
Brenda Edwards, one of the journal authors who is a National Cancer Institute researcher, agreed. "Now we have a statistically significant decline" over three years and clear proof of a trend, she said.
Although some recent analyses suggest heart risks from menopause hormones are not as great as had been believed for younger, newly menopausal women, the statistics out this week add to the worries about cancer.
After rising steadily through the 1990s, the breast cancer rate dipped from 2001 to 2002, from 138 cases to 135 cases per 100,000 women. After the federal Women's Health Initiative study reported in July 2002 on the health risks of hormones, use of the pills plunged.
So did the breast cancer rate the following year -- to 126 cases per 100,000 women. It was the steepest fall since the government started keeping records in the 1970s.
The drop was seen in all of the cancer statistics registries reviewed in the study, and no other cancer rate changed as dramatically -- strong signs that hormones were playing a role, specialists said.
The 2004 rate held steady at about 126 cases per 100,000.
Stopping hormone use may have stopped some cancers from growing and caused them to disappear, scientists speculate. Or it may have just slowed them down so that they won't appear until years later, said Ahmedin Jemal, an American Cancer Society researcher. Only time will tell which is true, he said.
Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, which makes top-selling hormone pills Prempro and Premarin, criticized the study as overly speculative. Company spokesman Dr. Joseph Camardo said hormone prescriptions continued to fall in 2004 but breast cancer rates did not decline proportionately.
Ravdin said the company's criticism does not invalidate the cancer trends.
Breast cancer is the most common major cancer in American women and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. About 180,000 new cases are expected to occur in the United States this year and more than 1 million worldwide.
Ovarian cancer is far less common. The British study found that even with the 20 percent greater risk from hormones, the actual risk was very low: 2.6 of every 1,000 hormone users developed ovarian cancer over five years compared to 2.2 in 1,000 non-hormone users.
Still, that means about 1,000 extra ovarian cancer deaths from 1991 through 2005, said study leaders at the Cancer Research UK Epidemiology Unit in Oxford.
Hormone use has declined already, and the new report should cause it to fall further, Dr. Steven Narod of the University of Toronto wrote in an editorial accompanying the study in The Lancet.
"We hope that the number of women dying of ovarian cancer will decline as well," he wrote.
Camardo, Wyeth's spokesman, said hormone labels already warn about an elevated risk of ovarian cancer.

A couple of girls stared shacking their asses for the camera and then panties were coming off, dicks were getting sucked and pussy was getting worked up. It was an orgy in the VIP style. Jmac did his thing with Chloe, but Brannon got it on with four or five other chicks. Brannon was the MVP at this party. Any girl that wanted cock, jump onto his. He got and gave some real VIP treatment.
