Christian Designs Found in Tomb Stones of Eastern Han Dynasty
[2002-08-02] Studies show that as early as 86 A.D., or the third year under the reign of "Yuanhe" of Eastern Han, Dynasty Christianity entered into China, 550 years earlier than the world accepted time.
When studying a batch of stone carvings of Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 A.D.) stored and exhibited in the Museum of Xuzhou Han Stone Carvings, Christian theology professor Wang Weifan was greatly surprised by some stone engravings demonstrating the Bible stories and designs of early Christian times.
Further studies showed that some of these engravings were made in 86 A.D., or the third year under the reign of "Yuanhe" of Eastern Han Dynasty, 550 years earlier than the world accepted time of Christianity's entrance into China.
The 74-year-old professor, who is also a standing member of the China Christian Council, showed reporter a pile of photos of Han stone carvings and bronze basins taken by him. He also compared the designs on them with that of the Bible, composed of fish, birds, and animals demonstrating how God created the earth.
Designs on these ancient stones displayed the artistic style of early Christian times found in Iraq and Middle East area while bearing the characteristics of China's Eastern Han times.
The stone carvings, being important funeral objects, are mainly found in four cities, and Xuzhou is one of them. It is reported that by now more than 20 intact Han tombs have been found, from which nearly 500 pieces of engraved stones were discovered.
It is globally accepted that Christianity was first carried into China by a Syrian missionary Alopen in 635 A.D. the ninth year under the reign of "Zhenguan" of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.).
Some experts once raised doubts that Christianity may have entered China in an early time as the Eastern Han, but lack evidence. Nevertheless, professor Wang's discovery serves to strongly back up the theory and the earlier works of his own. By PD Online Staff Member Li Heng [From: CL2000.com]
Wasn't the New Testament written in Greek, as opposed to Hebrew for the Old Testament? If so, can you identify the word that was translated to "gentile" by James? I'd do it but I don't have access to a Strong's.
Is "goy" a Hebrew word, a Yiddish word, and if Yiddish, was the source Hebrew/Aramaic or some other root, like Germanic? Lots of different roots make up Yiddish.
I think the important part was to "go unto the Lost Sheep of The House of Israel", which of course must be the descendents of the House of Israel.
Perhaps they could, but it would seem to me that, if there was anything specifically about Jesus, that fact would have been prominently mentioned. Since it is not mentioned, I think it is a reasonable assumption that it is not there.
I suppose it is as likely that there were Jews as that there were Christians in the area. It is possible that the Chinese encountered Jewish traders on the Silk Road.
From my youth, I remember reading an article on the front page of the newspaper in Plansk (a Polish shtetl), headlined: "Revolution in China: Good for the Jews."
In light of this new evidence, perhaps I should have taken that headline more literally.
Since story appears in the China Art News I'd suspect they picked the sample included, instead of Prof. Weifan. I would doubt that much of the staff are over-zealous about anything Christian. The Art News may need to publish the find but certainly don't need to publish evidence of the conclusions.
Yes, but Jesus spoke in Aramaic (a language related to Hebrew), not Greek. He would not have said "gentile." The word Jews use that is translated as gentile is "goy," which refers to the nations descended from Noah, as listed in Genesis.
Is "goy" a Hebrew word, a Yiddish word, and if Yiddish, was the source Hebrew/Aramaic or some other root, like Germanic? Lots of different roots make up Yiddish.
Yiddish is not the source of anything. Yiddish is a Germanic language which Jews began to use in Eastern Europe in medieval times. It includes many Hebrew words, one of which is goy. The word goy is Hebrew and it appears in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament.
I think the important part was to "go unto the Lost Sheep of The House of Israel", which of course must be the descendents of the House of Israel.
It could mean that. It could also mean those who have lost faith.
As I stated in another thread, this is meaningless. The word Jew is an English word that came into existence hundreds of years after the fact. In the Hebrew language, there is no distinction between Jews and members of the Tribe of Judah. In the Hebrew language, the "Jews" (Yehudim) came into existence with the birth of Judah, the son of Jacob.
When I interrogate Strong's about the source of "gentile" in Matthew 10:5,6 it gives me this:
01484 gowr {gore} or (fem.) gorah {go-raw'}
a variation of 01482; TWOT - 331a; n m
AV - whelp 2; 2
1) whelp
Strongs lists two references to the root Hebrew word for "gentile":
Jer 51:38 They shall roar [07580] (8799) together [03162] like lions [03715]: they shall yell [05286] (8804) as lions [0738]' whelps [01484].
Nah 2:12 The lion [0738] did tear in pieces [02963] (8802) enough [01767] for his whelps [01484], and strangled [02614] (8764) for his lionesses [03833], and filled [04390] (8762) his holes [02356] with prey [02964], and his dens [04585] with ravin [02966].
1484 ethnos {eth'-nos}
probably from 1486; TDNT - 2:364,201; n n
AV - Gentiles 93, nation 64, heathen 5, people 2; 164
1) a multitude (whether of men or of beasts) associated or living together
1a) a company, troop, swarm
2) a multitude of individuals of the same nature or genus
2a) the human family
3) a tribe, nation, people group
4) in the OT, foreign nations not worshipping the true God, pagans,Gentiles
5) Paul uses the term for Gentile Christians
Strongs lists 164 references to the root Greek word for "gentile", Matthew 10:5,6 included. I don't see any references to the root being "not being descended from Noah". But, in any case, not being descended from Noah wouldn't mean much, would it? All the Semites, including Jacob were descended from Shem which includes all those who claim the covenant of Abraham. Noah had two other sons, Ham and Japheth, whose descendents don't claim that covenant.
It could mean that. It could also mean those who have lost faith.
I guess "go unto the Lost Sheep of The House of Israel", could mean that, if one were to ignore the plain wording. There was the House of Judah, which was there, in the area, and the House of Israel, which was dispersed by the Assyrians.
All were Israelites. It seems to take quite a bit of labor to interpret it the way you suggest, and very little to interpret it as refering to the lost House of Israel.
I would imagine that the word "Jew" is a reasonable corrupted form of "Judah", but I don't find any reference to "Jews" in Genesis or Exodus, which follows it. All I see are references to "Israelites" Did I miss that reference? It's certainly possible I did. Go ahead and post a cite.
When the Babylonians captured the House of Judah, they would call these aggregate people something, and probably not "Judah" because that House contained Benjamin and the detachment of Levite priests and teachers as well. Paul refers to himself as a "Jew" even though he was of the tribe of Benjamin.
Where do you get your information? It doesn't seem to be Biblically supported.
Yes, it is very interesting. Even just getting the basics of who-is-who and where and the times involved correct changes your whole outlook on a lot of collateral history, as well as making the entire Old Testament come alive. It also gives the New Testament new and important meaning.
Lots of luck on learning much about the Celts and The Lost Tribes of Israel in traditional religion history classes. As Americans we are quite ignorant of much history other than our own. I received the bulk of my knowledge on the subject as a Post-Doctoral student at Oxford University studying Biblical Archeology. Did additional post-doc at Trinity College in Dublin studying the early Celts. They were experts on these subjects long before we were a nation, but somehow that didn't make it across the pond into either our seminaries or universities. (And there are others who think it is important the Lost Tribes remain "lost" or "assimilated" or otherwise not "found".)
It's also important to spend time in Europe at the great Celtic sites of Hallstadt in Austria and Le Tennes in Switzerland. The continental europeans have an important broader perspective which the English miss. Some Brits belive the Lost Tribes are the Celts alright, but are only found in Cornwall, Wales, Brittany and Ireland. This narrow (little island) perspective manifests itself in English language book after book, each one copying the other, and most getting the big picture all wrong. Continentals see the dispersion picture more clearly.
For an excellent jump-start on the subject, the little book at my LostTribe Profile site discussing the Assyrian Tablets in the British Museum is the best I've found so far. Those 20,000+ clay tablets from Assyria blow the old myths and superstitions apart!
My guess is, if he showed up for the discussions, we would be the uncomforable ones...
The Hebrew language is a very crude and imprecise language. Talk to scholars who deal daily with both Hebrew and Greek as I have and you will see their frustration at trying to "fill in" the gaps in ordinary Hebrew language manuscripts and second guess what the writers had in mind. To suggest the Hebew language is precise, as compared to Greek doesn't make any sense. That it would suggest (as you say) that Jews came into existence with the brith of Judah is a good example that it is also the source of cultural silliness totally out of touch with real history.
Not to mention the Internet.
I did not say "not being descended from Noah." Just the opposite. "Goyim" (gentiles) are the nations descended from Noah, as listed in Genesis 10. The word literally means nation. It is used by Jews to refer to other nations, ie. nations other than Israel.
Another way of saying gentile in Hebrew is "ben noach" (son of Noah).
Getting back to the point, the contention that the lost tribes of Israel, if they could be found, would be gentile from a Jewish perspective is false. From a Jewish perspective, they are part of Israel.
Where did I say the Hebrew language was precise?
I merely said that applying a (relatively modern) English word "Jew" to a certain period of time but not another is silly because the original language makes no such distinction.
I think I see your point. It's a subtle one, but tell me if I have it right.
Lost Tribe said:
...: The Lost Sheep of the House of Israel are a unique sub-set of Gentiles who are Israelites, but not Jews.
From a Jewish perspective they are Gentiles, but from an Israelite perspective they are not....:
You are objecting because that you think the House of Israel are not gentiles but Jews? (Am I right so far?)
If that is so, how can you claim they were Jews if there weren't any Jews when the Israelites (not Jews) split into different Kingdoms? The would have to be brother Isrealites. Right???
You are basing your ENTIRE fine-grain picky-picky argument on the precision and accuracy of Hebrew. Don't you see how absolutely silly that appears now that you are backing away from it's precision?
Ruy sez-- ..new age, mormon nonsense
Is that all there is to this "extra-Biblical evidence", that it's a Mormon thing?
A tip of the hat to my Jewish brothers and sisters from a (hopefully) nice goy.....
Does it make it false? (PS I am NOT a Mormon.)
I don't think you've spent 10 minutes looking for evidence that Jesus may have been doing something besides whittling for 20 years while waiting for the Big Time.
That's interesting. Can you post some sources? I'm more than a little ignorant about the topic.
No, that was Al Gore.
No, it's just focused on earthy and tangible content. It looks imprecise if you are needing to make abstract distinctions, which Greek is more suited for.
The correct polarity is not precise/imprecise, but tangible/abstract.
Thank you for clarifying that distinction.
The word Jews use that is translated as gentile is "goy," which refers to the nations descended from Noah, as listed in Genesis.
So, "goy" means non-Jewish? Well, that would support the notion that the other tribes of the Northern Kingdom, which were not of Judah (You said the word "Jew" comes from Judah), could be refered to as gentiles.
I think we're getting confused through imprecision, which seems support Kersey's statement that Hebrew is imprecise. I think you and losttribe are engaging in the very frustrating practice of trying to to nail a drop of water to the wall.
Getting back to the point, the contention that the lost tribes of Israel, if they could be found, would be gentile from a Jewish perspective is false.
That is your opinion. Since the word "gentile" as used in the New Testament traces back to the word "whelp" in Hebrew and "nation" in Greek, and all who were in the area at the time of Jesus were Jews, you don't seem to have a reference for that opinion.
What is important is the strong evidence that Jesus would have his disciples seek out the lost tribes of Israel to bring the gospel to them. That certainly makes more sense than labored interpretaions that seem to be designed only to circumvent that notion.
That goes beyond all reason and actually smacks of anti-mormon bigotry, IMHO.
No, you are wrong. They would not be gentiles and they would not be Jews. They would be "yisrael".
A gentile is someone who is not of one of the twelve tribes of Israel, therefore the lost tribes are not gentile.
Member "Lost Tribe" said that, "from a Jewish perspective," the lost tribes would be gentile. This is false. "Lost Tribe" knows nothing about what the Jewish perspective is. He knows nothing about Jewish law on this subject, nor does he care to hear about it.
No, I was merely saying that placing the designation of "Jew" on people only after the Babylonian captivity and not before is completely arbritrary and has no basis in the original language. One could make an equally good argument either way.
No, "goy" means non-Israelite. The lost tribes, if they could be found, would not be goyim.
I do not believe Jesus would have called people "whelps." In this case, Strong's definition makes no sense.
Keep up your good work! You are opening up the Bible and making it understandable.
I keep looking for the "beef" in your argument and finally found a few crumbs from a stale hamburger.
Member "Lost Tribe" said that, "from a Jewish perspective," the lost tribes would be gentile.
Well, that just means they would "not quite like Jews", because he defined it that way. No other definition, yours or anyone elses is applicable.
You are comparing apples and oranges. If you read his post about "gentiles" carefully you'll see he is not claiming to be a Jew or think like a Jew or have some unique "Jewish perspective" or sensitivities, real or imaginary. He might have worded it better, but he defines what he means by the phrase before he uses it, and that definition is different from yours.
Lost Tribe says, Gentile means "not quite like us". That has nothing to do with theology or even being Jewish. It just means "not quite like us". So he uses gentile from a "Mormon perspective" (or reference point) as an example; Mormon gentiles are not quite like Mormons.
Then he uses gentile from a "Jewish perspective" (or reference point) as an example; Jewish gentiles are not quite like Jews. This has nothing to do with what you keep squawking about!
The conclusion is, THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR YOUR BEEF. Forgettaboutit.
Well, that's true, unless the Hebrew definition of "whelp" is like ours (likely, since that's the English word chosen for translation):
1. A young offspring of a mammal, such as a dog or wolf.
2. a A child; a youth. b An impudent young fellow.
But the point was that the reference material didn't say "goy" meaning not descended from Noah through Shem. I figure that whatever else Strong's reference system is, it's been well researched by a lot of people and more than one linguist.
Thank You very much! I appreciate that.
Well, that just means they would "not quite like Jews", because he defined it that way. No other definition, yours or anyone elses is applicable.
The beef is that Lost Tribe doesn't know what he is talking about. The Jewish religion does not make any distinction between the various tribes of Israel. The fact that the Jews are the only tribe known today does not mean that another Hebrew tribe, if one were ever found, would be gentile. It most certainly would not.
The other tribes would not be gentile from a Jewish perspective because the Jews would not consider them gentile. How many ways can that be said?
I object when uninformed people like Lost Tribe make cavalier statements about my religion based on no knowledge.
Strong's definition makes no sense (Strongs Concordance)
Lost Tribe doesn't know what he is talking about.
Placing the designation of "Jew" ... after the Babylonian captivity ... is completely arbritrary
You're the kind of guy who has to play marbles alone because you change the rules in the middle of the game to suit where your marbles lay. Bet you even have trouble with the definition of IS.

My wife and I were looking for a cosy hotel in a quiet area which provided good food, outstanding service and a spa center.Having heard about the hotel from some acquantainces we decided to try it out.
Located just outside the picturesque town of Tenderten this hotel provided us with what we were looking for. Wandering through this little town we discovered a coffeeshop called Savannah which offers the most scrumptuous chocolate cakes and a hot pot of steaming coffee.
The room we were given baffled us with its space, two lovely comfortable beds and a view over the golfcourse fit for a king. The service was discreet, the food excellent and the facilities clean and encouraging a relaxing stay.
Coming from Belgium we were a bit sceptical about the food but luckily we were mistaken on this point: it was excellent, healthy and copious. As they say in French: chapeau! A must for young and old.
We decided to ask the staff about the holiday village of Loubas the hotel promotes. Apparently it is beautifully situated and the price fair, located in the dordogne. We will try it out this summer, that's for sure.
Thanks to all the staff, especially the chef who in my humble opinion exceeds all expectations.

Chennai, March 23 (IANS) Owing to few injuries sustained during the shoot of upcoming untitled Tamil thriller, Tamil actor Ajith Kumar announced Saturday that he would undergo a long-pending surgery in October.
"Ajith Kumar will undergo a surgery on Oct 21 and will not contemplate on signing or discussing on any new projects till his complete recovery from the injuries which he sustained during the shoot of his upcoming film," a statement said.
"The reason for the delay of surgery is to accommodate his commitments to veteran producer A.M. Ratnam whose untitled mega project starring many reputed names is on the floors and the difficulty of coordinating all these artistes' dates was considered," the statement added.
The untitled film, which is nearing completion, features Arya, Rana Daggubati, Nayantara, Taapsee Pannu, Kishore, Atul Kulkarni, Mahesh Manjrekar and Suma Ranganath in important roles.
Meanwhile, Ajith will start shooting for another Tamil project, which he is doing in honour of the centenary year of late producer Nagi Reddy, and will go on floors April 1 in Hyderabad.

"The longest beach in the world!" Top 5 Page for this destination Long Beach by joiwatani
Long Beach Travel Guide: 47 reviews and 178 photos
Long Beach? Where? There are many "Long Beach" name of cities in the United States. But, I am referring to the Long Beach in Washington State. It is about a three-hour and a half drive from Seattle, Washington.
The city is located close to Astoria, Oregon and it is an elongated beach-which may be the reason why the people claimed it as the "Longest Beach in the world"!
The Long Beach is an old town with many antique stores and lots of places to buy kites. There are many gift shops, too. Inside the town, there is also a Go-cart racing place and a Merry-go-round for children.
The town invites kite lovers and kite flyers all over the world and they come and compete. There is even a kite fight, multi-kite flying contests.
The Kite Festival is well-organized: There are many booths for arts and crafts, gift items and food. There are several life guard touring around in a vehicle, Medic One staff available in case there are emergencies involved. There are many local residents who volunteer for the success of the kite festival. They are very helpful and accommodating. There is no problem for parking for visitors. Several portable potties were also set up close to the beach for comfort of the visitors!
Older residents volunteer for the visitors for tourist information, and they set up a booth to have the children build their own kites!
The beach is nice for children to go and play on the sand but residents caution that the water has strong current.
The Kite Festival in Long Beach is something to go to every year. The wind in Long Beach is really god for kite flying. For newer enthusiasts like me, it is something to go to every year!
You can make your own kite. There are several volunteer workers in booths close to the board walk in Long Beach where you can learn how to make a kite. They also teach you aerodynamics and history of kite flying!
Even my husband Erik has fun flying my daughter's kite that they made. The kite was made of plastic and two bamboo round sticks. The materials were provided by the Kite Festival organizers. The provide the plastic, paste materials, bamboo round sticks and the string!
- Pros:Beautiful and spectacular sight of kites flying
- Cons:Book very early for accommodation at hotels
- In a nutshell:"The Annual Kite Festival is a must see every year!

Kite festival? Just like our Kite festival in Gujrat and in Kolkata during Vishwakarma puja. But your kites seems to be Japanese one, very large in size. Here they fight in the sky with Kites. Threads are treated with glass dust & glue!
Love Kite Flying...glad to see the whole family enjoyed Long Beach! Cheers, Norman :)
These pages were certainly a delight to read and to view. Loved your restaurant tip; your warnings were excellent. I especially enjoyed the kite photos, info about Kite Festivals, sand castles, and boardwalk.
Hi Jo, nice beach and great kite photos, must be spectacular during the day. We have had 3 shark attacks during the last 2 weeks, one death, good thing the cold water & strong currents prevents swimmers going far out.
Wow, Kit Festival...looks so colorful and fun! Long Beach as much to offer!
The Kite Festival is interesting. I have not seen one before. This could be part of the itinerary when I visit Long Beach. Thanks Jo.
We have Kites festival in Belgium too. Must come and see. A lot of nice walks. Of course, you must always have a look on the childrens here too. You can finish the day with a waffle or pancake. JP
another xclent family page. i loved the tips. great pictures again :-)
good stuff, but you do not know what cold is un til you have swam in the north sea off skegness in august
Hi, Jo! Thanks for your good tips!

The campground is small, and both parking and driving through are very tight. However, there are a few pull through spots right near the entrance that are easy to get in and out of. There are a lot of seasonal residences, but they are nicely maintained, and not trashy at all. In fact, some of them are pretty fancy. Some yards were cluttered, but with vacation toys, not household junk. The customer service was outstanding. There is wifi for sale at a reasonable rate ($4/3 days) and it worked well most of the time. The verizon signal was strong, ATT non existent. I did not notice the noise mentioned by previous reviewers, but I stayed mid-week, so it may just be that the park fills up on the weekends. There is a nice store on the property. - KAP99

Will never stay there again. Dusty and rough roads. Bare ground from digging sewer lines. Noisy. No quiet times. Reserved for a week but left after one night. Asked for refund and denied. This is more of a seasonal campground and not a RV Park. I do not have a good thing to say about Bedford Creek. - Ron Schweitzer

Very tight for large rigs. Site was in rear of CG and fairly new with gravel dumped on soft ground so getting level was difficult. Many seasonal campers with permanent sited rigs - some not in very good shape. CG was crowded with many large groups, but got quiet after 9PM. - Walt Bennett

We have stayed at Westcott Beach SP twice, both times on the 'plateau', which will be the focus of this review. The plateau area is relatively new, with larger campsites that can accommodate big equipment. While all sites are back-in, they are relatively easy to get your trailer and tow vehicle into. All plateau sites have 40A electric; no full hook-up sites, but there are several locations where you can fill your freshwater tank, including the dump station. As a newer camping area, it features OPHRP's current standard bathroom/shower design, which has two shower stalls on each side (men/women) accessed through the bathroom area, as well as two self-contained handicapped bathrooms with a shower, sink and toilet. Has an outdoor sink, which is handy for washing dishes. The bathroom facilities are well-maintained. As others have noted, the main part of the state park is on the other side of the road; there are additional campsites on that side that are closer to the lake, but they are not as spacious or level as the plateau area sites. Westcott Beach SP has a swimming area, but no camp store or concession stand; the privately-owned Westcott Convenience store is close at hand with firewood, groceries, propane and other camping necessities. Overall, a good experience if you're looking to relax or are visiting Sackett's Harbor or Watertown. - nextcube

This campground provides plenty of activities for family campers. There is a large beach and day use area with a great playground that provides a lot of physical activity for children. There is also a vending machine and arcade building for day use. The campsites are medium size yet some are close to each other. Many sites are RV occupied and tend to block the views, but there are some inner sites for campers using tents. There are several comfort stations providing hot showers as well as potable water stations throughout the campground. There are a few electric sites. Quiet hours are pretty strict and may be enforced by other campers as well as a rare check-up by park officials.

North Carolina's gasoline tax could go up under a bill moving through the Senate.
Senators voted 34-12 Thursday to require that the motor fuels tax be no less than the current 29.9 cents per gallon through mid-2011.
The tax historically has been readjusted twice a year based on
the wholesale price of gasoline. The Legislature agreed in 2006 to
cap the rate at no more than 29.9 cents following high gas prices
after Hurricane Katrina.
Bill sponsor Sen. Clark Jenkins of Edgecombe County said creating a floor for the tax will provide more road-building funds.
The change could generate an additional $67.5 million because the
tax would be higher than what is projected under the current law because gas prices are relatively low.
A final Senate vote could come next week.

The liberal arts curriculum of Gordon College is enriched by the Convocation program. In its various forums and presentations, the Convocation program underscores the great traditions of the liberal arts to promote inquiry and the love of learning and to encourage moral reflection and responsible citizenship. Through its Convocations, Gordon helps sustain a community where, in the words of the great Christian writer St. Augustine, "faith seeks understanding."
Convocation speakers offer ideas and interpretations on a variety of topics and issues drawn from across the spectrum of academic disciplines. On occasion, some speakers will advance perspectives that confront the prevailing assumptions of the Gordon community, while others will provide inspiration and challenge from a Christian worldview. The program is intended to promote ample discussion and active response from the academic community.
One of the goals of the Convocation program is to encourage earnest conversations and reflection, where competing ideas are assessed with discernment and civility. Through such dialogues, we hope to broaden and deepen our appreciation of creation and culture, to celebrate God's gifts of the intellect, and to become agents of redemption in our world.
Convocations are held Friday mornings, from 10:25–11:10 a.m. in the A. J. Gordon Memorial Chapel. However, once a month "alternative convocations" provide opportunities for various groups, clubs and departments to offer several concurrent programs in various locations around campus.
Questions about the Convocation program can be addressed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

News in Brief: Companies Urged to Embrace Responsibility
Top UK companies are being asked to complete the second Business in the Community (BITC) corporate responsibility questionnaire.The company-led think-tank has carried out a survey of corporate environmental practices for the past seven years; last year, it introduced a social responsibility scorecard as well.
BITC posted the second annual responsibility survey on its website last week, and urged companies to complete it. Last year, 120 companies, including about half the FTSE 100, supplied details for the responsibility index. The responsibility index aims to help companies develop their responsibility policies. The index looks at the development of responsibility strategy and its integration with risk management and governance, the integration of strategy into the corporate culture, and asks how specific impacts are measured and monitored.

Skip to comments.Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens, "I'm praying to Allah to give us victory over the kuffar"
Posted on 07/27/2013 9:57:59 PM PDT by hulagirl
Today on Ummah.com, a poster called "ahaneefah" posted two "Classic Yusuf Islam Nasheeds without Music." A nasheed is a song praising Allah or Islam in some way. Nasheeds are usually sung a cappella or with percussion accompaniment only, and according to most Islamic authorities they're the only kind of...
(Excerpt) Read more at jihadwatch.org ...
I'm praying he repents and turns to Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord.
Sorry. Your religion was inspired by Satan. Mohammed said it himself.
He used to be Greek Othodox.
Looks like he jumped off of the "Peace Train."
Guess that Peace Train jumped the tracks.
I'm praying for there head to be stuffed into a bag, the only answer for the insane. Send them back to there maker's They cut heads off all the time and the media says nothing.
...and if I ever lose my mind, I wont have to think...
The lost lyric from Moon Shadow?
And we thought Britney Spears had issues.
Obviously a nut case.
"I'm being followed by a moon-god....."
Wow, that's a godly response.......I'm humbled :-)
What is a kuffar?
A non-Muslim. Highly derogatory term.
Ooh baby, it's a wild world.
Lost soul.
you don't want to know what my first response was.
This is the term for an unbeliever. However, you must understand this in context. For a Muslim this is anyone who does not believe Allah is God.
Thus, a Jewish person who believes in God or a Christian who believes in God is an unbeliever to a Muslim and can be with the atheist killed.
For Cat Stevens to wish "victory over the Kuffar" is to wish us death.
Nobody bothered to defeat them after WW II because they had nothing worth conquering at that time.
Ideologically, culturally, spiritually, and politically, they are indistinguishable twins. Enslave mankind, murder the undesirable. Simple goals for simple people. Such easy prey for the deceiver.
From a practical standpoint their linkage is clear as interchangeable and classic mass movements, requiring and inspiring unity and self-sacrifice. The respect given to Islam as "religion" is a distinction without any true meaning.
Anyone who has bothered to read Eric Hoffer's The True Believer, or The Passionate State of Mind, for example, would see their interchangeability in an instant. Had it been required reading (as it was in the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, before political correctness erased Hoffer - who had no formalized education - from every syllabus until Ronald Reagan awarded him the Medal of Freedom in 1983) during the Bush administration our policy in combating Islamic terror would have turned out quite different and perhaps effective.
The second monster in the image of the first monster, in the image of the second monster. Evil eternal. God will sort things out. He's that good!
Kuffar is listed as one of my better virtues.
Another saturday night and I aint got nobody
Wrote some jihad songs and just got paid
Now how I wish the kaffirs were all killed.
Im in an awful way.
I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of jews since then,
If I could meet em I could get em
But as yet I havent met em
Thats how Im in the state Im in.
Another Islam fighter told me
He had a sister whose Burkha was hot
Instead of bein my fourth wife
She went and took her life
Blowing up an old crock pot.
Its hard on a fella
When he can't stand the kaffirs around.
If I dont find me a imam
To help calm me down
Im gonna have to blow up this town.
[singing] Peace train blowing up...
Thanks hulagirl.
creepheeds are doing their thingheeds in Arabic as usual.
That's GREAT!
I can see a mental discussion a few decades back in time:
'My agent says I need something to make me more distinctive. I need something that's a bit 'out there'. Hmmmm, religion maybe, I'm Greek Orthodox, not to many of those in town, Buddhism? Nah to squishy, Shinto? Nope Bad connotations there.
How about Scientology, I met Hubbard though... He's a nut.
I got it... Islam! There not many of them in Town and it'll get me noticed.
Sometime later on... 'What! I can't sing anymore! If I leave Islam I'll get my head cut off?! Damn...
Who knows it might have happened that way...
Is it me, or does anybody else chuckle at this LIMEY -all dressed up like the Sheik of Araby to make himself feel important?
Cool. I want a t-shirt with KUFFAR in big red letters across the front.
He liked the Kuffar OK back in the 60's and early 70's when he was raking in the pop music money. What an azz!!
Greece was occupied by Islam for seven hundred years. True Greeks would never, ever turn Muslim. This is a sick betrayal of your family, country and religion.

PeaceHealth will cut 45 jobs from its information-technology staff and relocate another eight from other regions to its headquarters in Vancouver as part of its ongoing effort to streamline administrative support functions for medical services.
The elimination of IT positions will affect PeaceHealth's operations in Washington, Oregon and Alaska. None are happening at the health-care company's "shared services center" in east Vancouver, where PeaceHealth is consolidating its corporate headquarters and back-office operations.
By 2017, PeaceHealth expects to station 800 workers at its centralized Vancouver location. It now has about 350.
"We're not on a systemwide mission to reduce (full-time positions)," said Peter Adler, senior vice president for strategy, innovation and development for the Catholic-based nonprofit. "We are in the process of creating our single, consolidated service center in Vancouver, which is Vancouver's net gain."
However, that gain comes at a loss of jobs in other cities in which PeaceHealth has operations. Yet the move to cut costs and boost efficiency isn't unique to PeaceHealth. Other health-care organizations are taking similar actions amid drawn-out economic weakness and pressure from health-care reform to curb costs and provide better care.
Positions left vacant
At PeaceHealth, 23 of the 45 positions that will be cut had been left vacant. And PeaceHealth has no immediate plans to fill them.
"We left them vacant to be able to do fewer reductions in (the) workforce," said Tamera Bhatti, PeaceHealth's human resources director in Vancouver.
The rest — 22 jobs — are slated to be eliminated. PeaceHealth officials said they'll try to make those reductions through attrition and placing workers in other jobs at the organization. Meanwhile, eight information-technology leadership positions will be relocated to Vancouver by 2014, according to PeaceHealth documents obtained by The Columbian. Those positions may be filled by PeaceHealth employees from Eugene, Ore., Longview, and Bellingham.
A July report conducted for PeaceHealth by Maestro Strategies says the health care organization "has significantly more total (information technology full-time equivalents)" than other comparative staffing levels.
Kevin Lamb, a PeaceHealth system manager of marketing and communications, said IT staffing moves are aimed at creating the right number of IT positions that best serves the nonprofit's care and organizational goals.
"We haven't done a good job of doing that over the years," Lamb said, which is why PeaceHealth has "twice the IT staff" compared to comparable organizations.
As of March, PeaceHealth had 383 full-time equivalent positions in information technology. The organization wants to bring that workforce down to about 338. That's a reduction of about 45 full-time equivalent positions.
And that reduction would shave about $8 million in salary and benefits from the nonprofit's IT payroll.
A 'growth corridor'
Another reason PeaceHealth is reshuffling its information-technology staff has to do with its larger move to relocate some jobs to Vancouver to position itself for future growth.
Adler said U.S. Census data project that Southwest Washington will be a "growth corridor" over the next 10 years. As a result, PeaceHealth, which employs a total of about 16,500 people, is reallocating administrative staff, including information-technology workers, to Vancouver.
PeaceHealth isn't the only health care system looking to eliminate certain positions to trim costs.
In February, for example, Clark County's Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center eliminated 30 jobs as part of a broader cost-cutting move to deal with the impacts of reduced Medicaid payments and a weak economy.
Most of the job cuts came from the Salmon Creek facility's nonclinical staff, including administrative, information and registration services, food services and gift shop employees.
The cuts were part of 362 layoffs made in Oregon and Southwest Washington by Portland-based Legacy Health System.
PeaceHealth's staffing moves come nearly two years after it finalized a merger with Vancouver-based Southwest Washington Medical Center, launching a nonprofit health system straddling Washington, Oregon and Alaska with an operating budget of about $2.3 billion.
In August, PeaceHealth announced yet more change, saying it will form a partnership with Englewood, Colo.-based Catholic Health Initiatives that will create a regional health care system with operations based in Vancouver.
The deal — expected to be completed before June 30, 2013 — will combine seven Catholic Health Initiatives hospitals in Washington and Oregon with nine PeaceHealth hospitals in Washington, Oregon and Alaska.
The new organization will have revenues of nearly $4 billion, nearly 26,000 employees and about 950 employed physicians.

Where can Londoners and visitors find quiet places to meet and talk? London is an exciting place to be, but not everyone wants to be in a noisy environment listening to loud music. Perhaps they want to be somewhere where they can read a book, or sit and linger for a while. Many visitors to the capital long to discover places off the beaten track - find a delightful garden to sit in or a tree-lined walk by a river. Busy Londoners are often looking for somewhere to go which is an alternative to lively venues; a place where things are understated rather than grabbing their attention...Quiet London is a guide to quiet places to meet, drink, eat, swim, rest, shop, sleep or read. It includes interesting, attractive places where people don't have to strain to hear each other speak. There are short descriptions for each venue, alongside travel and contact details and simple but atmospheric photographs in colour and black and white.

Classmates of three Franklin students who were killed or seriously injured in a swimming accident don't want to talk, they're instead finding ways to help however they can.
Counselors from Franklin Community Schools have been available for students since Friday, when five high school students went over a dam while swimming in the Big Blue River near Edinburgh. High school guidance counselor Kacee Murphy hasn't sat down with a single student yet. They're just not ready to talk, she said.
Instead, those students are doing.
They're making and hanging blue ribbons around the city to show support for the teens and their families. They're posting photos of 17-year-old Jason Moran, who died of drowning, and 16-year-old Michael Chadbourne, who is on life support until his organs are donated. Sarah McLevish, 16, remains in critical condition. Friends are sharing memories in small groups and on social media, putting together photo collages and planning a banner that people can sign for the families.
Two girls who aren't in Moran's grade stopped by the high school this week, not to talk, but just to see if there was any way they could help with projects to support the families, Murphy said.
A public calling and memorial service for Moran today might help students, but they're still waiting to find out what will happen with Chadbourne and McLevish, Murphy said. So they could be waiting to seek out help from adults, she said.
"The kids really need something positive right now and need something to be hopeful for," she said. "(Wednesday) is going to be a pretty tough day, but I think it will be good for the kids," she said.
The three teens and two other friends, Trent Crabb and Mark Nally, went swimming near the dam off State Road 252 Friday. McLevish went over the dam wall and all four boys followed to try to save her. Moran drowned and rescuers searched until they found his body Sunday. Chadbourne and McLevish were pulled out of the water unconscious and have been hospitalized since.
The tragedy is still too raw to talk about, counselor Wendy Ralston said. Classmates just found out Monday that Chadbourne wouldn't survive and they're still hoping McLevish will recover. Meeting with friends in small groups and keeping busy is how they're coping right now, Ralston said.
"They are always wanting to know how they can help," she said.
Keeping busy after an unexpected loss of a friend or family member is common for teens or any age group, said John Shafer, director of the counseling center at Franklin College. The activities students have been taking part in this week can help them work through the loss at their own pace, he said.
"They want to make a difference and cutting out ribbons and hanging ribbons is a very good way of coping, especially if they're doing it with their friends," Shafer said.
If school were in session, counselors expect they'd have lines of people wanting to talk. But since it's summer break, groups of friends are meeting at houses, around town or at the Indianapolis hospital to support each other, Murphy said.
Counselors don't expect students to seek out help yet. That may not happen until after the memorial services, or maybe not even until school starts again in the fall. Once students are back in class and feel Moran's absence or attend that first football game where he's not on the field, then they might want to start talking with counselors, Ralston said.
Grief isn't a process that takes a month or two to go through, Shafer said. So students, staff, faculty and families may need help throughout next school year, he said.
"They'll need to go through their friend's birthday, or the first football game or the first Christmas without their son," Shafer said. "Returning to Franklin Community High School will be very difficult, especially for the senior class."
Counselors are available and ready to listen, since students will have different needs. Some will just want somebody to cry with, some will want to share some memories and others will need some encouraging words to help process the loss of their classmates, Murphy said. Counselors and parents can remind kids that life is short and can change quickly, so make the most of the time you have with friends and family, she said.
"There's nothing perfect we can say to make them feel better," she said.
Teenagers typically prefer to seek out their peers rather than adults to work through problems, so it will be important to let them spend time with their friends throughout the summer, Shafer said. Parents likely won't make much progress by trying to sit their child down and ask about his or her feelings, he said.
Parents instead should make sure their son or daughter knows that they're available and let them approach on their own terms. Or parents can try asking how their child is doing in a situation that's not so direct, such as while riding in the car where a teen doesn't have to make eye contact while talking, he said.
"They need to know you're willing to listen when they're ready," Shafer said.

Christmas in Plains
Christmas in Plains
Simon & Schuster, Hardcover, 9780743224918, 160pp.
Publication Date: October 16, 2001
Later, away at Annapolis, he always went home to Plains, and during his Navy years, when he and Rosalynn were raising their young family, they spent their Christmases together re-creating for their children the holiday festivities of their youth.
Since the Carters returned home to Plains for good, they have always been there on Christmas Day, with only one exception in forty-eight years: In 1980, with Americans held hostage in Iran, Jimmy, Rosalynn, and Amy went by themselves to Camp David, where they felt lonely. Amy suggested that they invite the White House staff and their families to join them and to celebrate.
Nowadays the Carters' large family is still together at Christmastime, offering each other the gifts and the lifelong rituals that mark this day for them.
With the novelist's eye that enchanted readers of his memoir "An Hour Before Daylight," Jimmy Carter has written another American classic, in the tradition of Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory" and Dylan Thomas's "A Child's Christmas in Wales."
Jimmy Carter was born in Plains, Georgia, and served as thirty-ninth President of the United States. He and his wife, Rosalynn, founded The Carter Center, a nonprofit organization that prevents and resolves conflicts, enhances freedom and democracy, and improves health around the world. He is the author of numerous books, including Palestine Peace Not Apartheid, An Hour Before Daylight and Our Endangered Values. He received a "Best Spoken Word" Grammy Award for his recording of Our Endangered Values. All of President Carter's proceeds from this series will go to the Maranatha Baptist Church of Plains, Georgia.

By Matt Gartland, DynamIT
"Marketing is now a fundamental driver of IT purchasing, and that trend shows no signs of stopping–or even slowing down–anytime soon."
Lisa Arthur, CMO of Teradata Applications, made that opening statement in Forbes when revealing a glimpse into the future of technology spending. The trend she points to is self-evident all around us: Online retail sales are driving traditional retail toward extinction. Customer loyalty programs are being reinvented thanks to the high-touch channels digital technologies provide. And mobile apps are influencing every waking minute of our lives.
|Matt Gartland
Restaurant industry CMOs and CIOs should pay particular attention to these trends. While the food business could once comfortably rely on big ad buys to drive awareness, traffic, and sales, that comfort zone is quickly diminishing due first to the fragmentation of content channels. Then there's the rising popularity of Netflix, Hulu, and similar content providers that strip out or greatly diminish advertising. And let's not forget the popularity of DVR systems that empower viewers to fast-forward through all commercials.
Meanwhile, the food business is witnessing a revolution in customer's preferred experiences. Hungry customers want to view your menu online, right now, and then place an order or make a reservation instantly using their mobile device. These same customers may enjoy "checking in" at your restaurant location, leaving a review on sites like Yelp and sharing a recommendation to friends. And if your restaurant has entertained and nourished them, there's a good chance that they'll want to sign up for some sort of loyalty program.
Sparking chemistry through digital
This revolution is all things digital and largely marketing driven; brands and organizations want to improve their customer acquisition and retention capabilities. But this focus is achieved almost entirely through technology investments in back-end data systems, front-end customer experiences and a whole lot of "middleware" integrations.
While traditional marketing and IT departments haven't always shared a common vision or had common objectives, the pressures and opportunities of today's digital economy are rekindling the love between these once apathetic partners. Consequently, tech spending is on the rise and projected to hit $3.7 trillion in 2013, with marketing taking a more active and influential role. As Peter Sondergaard, senior VP at Gartner, said, "Every budget is an IT budget." Gartner describes this renewed courtship between IT and marketing as the "nexus of forces," sparked in no small way by surging common interests in cloud computing, social networking, big data, and mobile solutions.
The incredible opportunity here may be subtle but is surely profound: Customers desire more consistent engagement with the restaurants they enjoy. So, rather than being peppered with 30-second commercials, today's hungry customers want to receive timely specials from their favorite restaurants as well as bonuses for repeat visits. They want to give feedback. And they want, perhaps more than anything, a personalized experience.
Bringing IT and marketing together
Working together, restaurant IT and marketing departments can build such experiences that win customers' hearts and minds. Marketing specializes in knowing what customers want to see and do in-store and out. IT specializes in engineering the systems and pathways necessary to bring those interests to life. Through a commitment to shared goals, cooperative collaboration, and aligned investments, IT and marketing professionals can make digital experiences as satisfying as the meals they market.
To achieve this potential, marketing and IT leaders need to come together early and often. From business planning for next year's budgets to quarterly reviews of customer acquisition data, close-knit teaming at all levels of the organization is paramount for digital excellence and a healthy return on those technology investments. Listening to new hires and rising stars is equally important. These younger generation professionals are well versed in both the marketing and technology sides of compelling digital experiences because they are consumers of them.
A new mindset is the important common denominator. As our economy becomes increasingly powered by digital, those restaurants and organizations of any industry best positioned to adapt, grow, and thrive are those willing to band together through an evolved view of their businesses and the customers that support them. Such harmony isn't achieved easy. But it is necessary. Internal change agents or external partners that speak both IT and marketing languages can help when the going gets tough. During such transformations, the strength of the CMO and CIO alliance cannot be overstated. The true game changer is whether or not those leaders can unite as a dynamic duo and forge a culture of collaboration.
Matt Gartland directs content strategy for Dynamit, a digital agency that specializes in integrated Web, mobile, and social media solutions built in partnership with client stakeholders in IT, marketing, commerce, and communications.

The legitimacy of the dominant intensive meat production system with respect to the issue of animal welfare is increasingly being questioned by stakeholders across the meat supply chain. The current meat supply is highly undifferentiated, catering only for the extremes of morality concerns (i.e., conventional vs. organic meat products). However, a latent need for compromise products has been identified. That is, consumer differences exist regarding the trade-offs they make between different aspects associated with meat consumption. The heterogeneity in consumer demand could function as a starting point for market segmentation, targeting and positioning regarding animal welfare concepts that are differentiated in terms of animal welfare and price levels. Despite this, stakeholders in the meat supply chain seem to be trapped in the dominant business model focused on low cost prices. This paper aims to identify conflicting interests that stakeholders in the meat supply chain experience in order to increase understanding of why heterogeneous consumer preferences are not met by a more differentiated supply of meat products produced at different levels of animal welfare standards. In addition, characteristics of the supply chain that contribute to the existence of high exit barriers and difficulty to shift to more animal-friendly production systems are identified. Following the analysis of conflicting interests among stakeholders and factors that contribute to difficulty to transform the existing dominant regime, different routes are discussed that may help and motivate stakeholders to overcome these barriers and stimulate the creation of new markets.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who is currently busy working on his new film "Bombay Talkies", plans to shoot at ongoing the Maha Kumbh in Allahabad for the movie.
"Earlier, for 'Gangs of Wasseypur', Anurag shot an entire Muharram scene using hidden cameras, which gave a very real feel to the film. For 'Bombay Talkies' too, he's going to shoot with them at the crowded mela," said a source.
With the large crowd that the Maha Kumbh is attracting, the filmmaker plans to shoot some portions of the film with hidden cameras.
Kashyap is also working on getting the required permission.
"Getting the required permissions is going to be a long process, but Anurag wants to use the visuals of the mela for his lead character. Since the story is of a common man from Allahabad, who comes to Mumbai, this will add a real feel to the movie."
"Bombay Talkies", a bouquet of four stories, has contribution by Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar and Karan Johar. Releasing May 3, the film is an ode to 100 years of Indian cinema.

There was a king met a king
In a narrow lane.
Says this king to that king;
"Where have you been?"
"Oh I've been a-hunting
With my dog my doe,"
"Pray lend him to me,
That I may do so"
"There's the dog take the dog,"
"What's the dog's name?"
"I've told you already,"
"Pray tell me again".

It took four extra minutes, but the Edinburgh girls basketball team finally earned its first conference win of the year.
The host Lancers came from seven points down in the third quarter and then survived overtime Tuesday night to defeat Mid-Hoosier Conference rival South Decatur 53-51.
The win was the Lancers' first against the Cougars since Dec. 27, 2002.
Edinburgh (4-11, 1-5 Mid-Hoosier) trailed 26-19 two minutes into the second half before finally finding its footing on offense. During the next six minutes, the Lancers went on a 16-1 run that put them ahead 35-27 at the end of the third quarter.
Maile Cox sparked the run. The senior guard scored eight of her 10 points for the game in the quarter.
South Decatur (4-12, 0-6) opened the fourth quarter with a 10-2 run of its own and tied the game at 37-all with 4:05 to play. The Cougars briefly went ahead 42-41 before Edinburgh retook the lead.
Jennifer Stinson knocked down two free throws with 22 seconds remaining to give the Lancers a 47-44 advantage.
But Cougars junior Ashley Johannigman calmly drained a 3-pointer from the left wing with just 13 seconds to play to send the game into overtime. It was South Decatur's only 3-pointer of the night.
In overtime, the Lancers got contributions from players other than Cox and Stinson. Freshmen Emma Westerfield and Kaylie Littiken each scored to break ties and senior Autumne Burton scored with 15 seconds to play to ice the game.
Coach Bob White said that production is exactly what the Lancers need going forward.
"The more people that can score gets pressure off of Jennifer (Stinson)," he said. "In order to be successful in the sectional, we have to have five people scoring."
He said the Lancers' third quarter success was all about slowing down and concentrating on both ends of the court.
"We had intensity and a little more focus," White said. "We do all right when we have that."
Stinson had game-highs in both scoring and rebounding with 21 points and 14 boards. Edinburgh hit 22 of 66 shots (33 percent) while turning the ball over 33 times.
Samantha Miller led the Cougars with 15 points. Julia Miller added 10 points and 10 rebounds. South Decatur hit 20 of 64 shots from the field (31.3 percent) and turned the ball over 29 times.
The Lancers travel to North Decatur Thursday night.

Bloomy's Roast Beef: A first look at the new food truck
It's clear that a lot of love and care went into the new Bloomy's food truck. If the tender-as-a-mother's-love roast beef wasn't enough, there's also the chronicle that owners Katie J and Ryan Bloomstrom maintained on their blog. Katie's writing is so candid and charming it's hard not be pulling for this truck to be a huge success.
The original roast beef is paper-thin slices of pink meat piled on a shiny domed bun with just a sprinkling of what tasted like a Cajun seasoning mix, without any heat. Alone it could have used just a touch more salt. With a squirt of "horsey" sauce, the nasal-clearing kick perked it right up. For only $4.50, it was plenty of food to conquer a modest appetite.

Formula One, also known as Formula 1 or F1 and referred to officially as the FIA Formula One World Championship, is the highest class of single seater auto racing sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The "formula", designated in the name, refers to a set of rules with which all participants' cars must comply. The F1 season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix (from French, originally meaning grand prizes), held on purpose-built circuits and public roads. The results of each race are combined with a points system to determine two annual World Championships, one for the drivers and one for the constructors. The racing drivers, constructor teams, track officials, organizers, and circuits are required to be holders of valid Super Licences, the highest class of racing licence issued by the FIA.
Formula One cars are considered to be the fastest circuit-racing cars in the world, owing to very high cornering speeds achieved through the generation of large amounts of aerodynamic downforce. Formula One cars race at speeds of up to 360 km/h (220 mph) with engines limited in performance to a maximum of 18,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). The cars are capable of lateral acceleration in excess of 5 g in corners. The performance of the cars is very dependent on electronics – although traction control and other driving aids have been banned since 2008 – and on aerodynamics, suspension and tyres. The formula has had much evolution and change through the history of the sport. Europe, the sport's traditional base, is where about half of each year's races occur. That said, the sport's scope has expanded significantly during recent years and an increasing number of Grands Prix are held on other continents.

Poor baby
We were all sitting in the livingroom, watching a documentary about giraffes on PBS the other night. Ava was enjoying it, especially when they showed baby giraffes. It got to a part where they were filming a female giraffe giving birth to a baby at a zoo in Colorado Springs. I didn't think anything of Ava watching it since she and I have watched videos of human babies being born in the past and they didn't phase her in the least. In fact, she usually wants to see more.

The O'Dea football team exited team buses adorned with the school's maroon and gold colors and walked through Memorial Stadium's northwest entrance two hours prior to game time. The players dropped their equipment near the end zone and jogged around the field to warm up.
Hours later, they never stopped running.
Powered by dynamic running back Myles Gaskin, the No. 2 Irish ran away with a 49-7 win over No. 5 Mount Si on Friday night to advance to the 3A quarterfinals.
Gaskin was a little bit of everything on Friday — fast, strong, evasive. At times, he was downright magical, as he ran for 231 yards and five touchdowns on just 14 carries.

"Once again, it was my O-line," Gaskin said. "They opened up the holes, (I) try to make a dude miss and we just keep ballin'."
It was the junior's 76-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter that broke a scoreless tie. From there, the floodgates opened and O'Dea poured on the points using a heavy dose of Gaskin, sprinkled with carries by Jack Flor and Pierre Le Dorze.
Gaskin's final two carries of the first half — a pair of touchdowns — gave O'Dea a 28-0 lead heading into the locker room. The Irish put the seal on the game early in the third on Gaskin's fifth touchdown run, a 42-yarder that eased O'Dea to a 35-0 advantage.
The combination of Gaskin, Flor and Le Dorze was too much to handle for a Mount Si defense that had given up more than 20 points just once this season.
The trio rushed for 384 yards collectively in under three quarters. But after the game, all praise went toward the offensive line.
"They're starting to play a little better," O'Dea coach Monte Kohler said. "They're young and they're just starting to get into a little bit of a groove where they know what they're doing, and they feel comfortable. Honestly, we make a mistake, Myles will clean it up on his own."
The O'Dea offense had to find its rhythm in the first quarter. That's where the Irish defense stepped up to keep the Mount Si offense in check until Gaskin and Co. got things clicking.
Wildcats quarterback Nick Mitchell, an Oregon State commit, never looked comfortable. Mitchell dropped two snaps and gave up a fumble late in the first half to set up one of Gaskin's touchdown runs.
"I love our defense; they're the best defense in the state," Le Dorze said. "I mean, when we need a stop, they get a stop. If we make a mistake on offense, they make up for it. They're always there."

Liberal Theology: "When Jesus had those five loaves and two fishes, he didn't charge food stamps." (Video)
Liberals are all about the separation of church and state, until combining the two furthers the agenda, then they are all about it.
Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) told the Rev. Al Sharpton of MSNBC on Wednesday that Sharpton and the pope are "on the same wavelength."
McDermott's observation on what he perceives as the similarity between Sharpton and the pope came up in a discussion of food stamps.
McDermott noted that when Jesus fed five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish, "he didn't charge food stamps."
Yeah, that's right.
Democrat Representative used the example of Jesus feeding five thousand to food stamps.
The ridiculousness continued:
"When Jesus had those five loaves and two fishes, he didn't charge food stamps. He didn't ask anybody how much money they had. He fed them because they were hungry, and that's really where we ought to be," McDermott said in response to Republican critics of the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
So, now we're supposed to feed America's hungry through supernatural means?
This is incredible. Democrats really do think money just appears out of no where.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — The Eugene couple convicted last year in the torture death of a daughter have given up custody of their 8-year-old son.
Attorneys for Angela and Richard McAnulty told a Lane County Juvenile Court hearing on Wednesday that they now support finding a permanent home for the boy.
The Register-Guard reports (http://is.gd/8P69t4 ) the move clears the way for the boy to be adopted. He has been in temporary foster care.
Angela McAnulty is on death row after pleading guilty to aggravated murder in the torture, abuse and starvation death of 15-year-old Jeanette Maples in 2009. Richard McAnulty is serving a life prison sentence after pleading guilty to murder by abuse.

What Type of God Do You Believe In?
Sometimes it's hard to blame people for rejecting God, because many Christians present a God that is ugly, cruel, unfair, and utterly horrific. Thus, when people avoid Christianity, they're actually shunning their ugly perception of it.
When you hear people talk about God, what type of God are you imagining? When you speak of God, what type of God are you communicating?
Unfortunately, society's obsession with success, politics, business, security, wealth, and comfort has hijacked the way we see and interpret God — even Christians are guilty of this.
It's easy to manipulate God to fit our own agendas, to use religion to rationalize our actions, to wield spirituality as a weapon, and manipulate theology to rationalize our sins.
