As soon as the title screen/Introduction to game sprites/and the backsprites for the hero&heroine are done I'll release a beta that will play up til KYUREM'S DEN. However, all 3 of those things I'm having problems with. But I'm learning & soon I should be able to have it done. I'd say the full completion is like this so far:
OW Sprites-100%
Music-0% (Could use some assistance on this as well. But I think I can easily handle it once I get to it after I'm done everything else.)
Pokemon Sprites-100% (Possibly exceptions of Electivire, Gigalith, Mienshao, Seismictoad, Drapion, Braviary. Their sprites need work as they don't look too good.)
Trainer sprites-90%

How about a version with just the backgrounds (without the barcodes and stuff) and some with a higher resolution to fit on a MacBook Pro screen?

Miami Falls To Butler, 61-48
Follow @MiamiRedHawks and @MiamiOH_Bball on Twitter
Nov. 27, 2004
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.--Behind 40 second-half points, Butler University's men's basketball team topped Miami University 61-48 to drop the RedHawks to 2-1 on the season and move the Bulldogs to 3-0.
The teams were tied going into the half after a dunk by Brandon Polk as time expired evened the score, 21-21. Butler outscored Miami 40-27 in the second half to seize the 13-point win.
Miami went on an 8-1 run over a 4:45 stretch midway through the first half to post a 15-12 lead by the 5:20 mark. Senior forward Danny Horace tossed in four points, while senior forward Tim Schenke added two points and an assist and senior guard Chet Mason tossed in a basket during the stretch. Butler battled back to tie the game at 17-17, 19-19 and finally 21-21 to round out the first 20 minutes of play.
Neither team was able to score for the first two and a half minutes of the game. But Butler quickly ended that trend as they surged to a 17-point lead by the 10:42 mark off a 21-4 flurry, highlighted by a quartet of treys. Miami was able to cut the Butler lead to 12 points by the 8:35 mark, 44-32, with help from five points by junior guard William Hatcher, but three more Bulldog three-pointers quickly put Miami at another 17-point disadvantage with 4:57 remaining, 54-37. A three-pointer by sophomore guard Doug Penno at the 2:19 mark pulled the RedHawks within 11 points, 56-45, but the Bulldog lead was too much to overcome as the RedHawks suffered a 61-48 loss and remain winless when facing the Bulldogs on their home court (0-6).
Horace led Miami with his third straight double-double of the season in as many games, knocking down a game-high-tying 16 points and leading all players with 10 boards. Hatcher was the only other RedHawk to score in double figures, tallying 12 points.
Butler had four players score in double figures, led by Jamie Smalligan and Bruce Horan with 16 points apiece. Avery Sheets followed with 11 points and eight assists, while A.J. Graves added 10 points.
Miami has little time to rest as it hosts alumnus Ron Niekamp and his high-octane Findlay team on Monday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. The Oilers, who enter Monday's contest with a 2-0 mark, are averaging 97.0 points per game and nearly knocked off Dayton in preseason action, falling by two points, 63-61.

I stayed in the master suite for my 45th birthday and I enjoyed every minute. I had dinner at Papa Joes which is not far from the Oniel House, and upon my return the fire was going in my suite. I plan on returning and look forward to staying in the sleigh room. The breakfast was great as well.

My wife and I stayed 2 nights at the O'neil House mid May 2012, and we enjoyed it very much. We stayed in the master suite. The master suite has a lot of living space and is comfortable as well as beautiful. The proprietor is very nice and makes a wonderful 3 course breakfast. The large grounds are well manicured and very peaceful. I will be back in the future.

I stayed at the O'Neil House in Aug 2005 and again in April 2010. Both experiences were wonderful. The first time, we stayed in the huge master suite. The second time, we had the three-bedroom suite with the French country sitting room. Gayle, the owner and hostess, is very gracious and an excellent chef. We'll definitely be back.
5 su dicembre 01, 2009
Six of us stayed in the three bedroom family suite. The other rooms were larger and lovely but occupied. The history, beauty of the grounds, and good location makes it a good place to take friends. We've done this twice and are working on a third trip.

Listen: Evanescence's first new single in five years
Evanescence returns with its third studio album, and its first in five years, on Oct. 11 with a self-titled set.
"What Your Want," the first single from the Nick Raskulinecz-produced went to radio this morning. "It's about freedom," the group's Amy Lee told MTV about the first single. Of the album, Lee said, "We are so excited to release this thing. We've been working on this music for a very long time and seeing it all finally come together is a really amazing feeling. The album is about us and also our fans-- we've combining the best of Ev with some new attitude and we're just dying to share it."
[More after the jump...]
The set has certainly had a hard birth with original producer, Steve Lillywhite, and the band parting ways and Raskulinecz coming in and then the band needing to leave to studio to work on the songs some more, but it's finally finished. Of course, for many folks, Evanescence really ended being Evanescence after co-founder Ben Moody left the band in 2003 after "Fallen's" release. Amy Lee remains the only original member.
The band debuted the song live on MTV Monday night (we've embedded the performance below). What do you think? It reveals a bit of a funkier, bass-driven side of Ev than we're used to combined with the same heaviness that has been its trademark since "Fallen" and 2006's "The Open Door." While we haven't always enjoyed Ev's songs, we've always liked Lee's Ann Wilson-like ability to belt and stay on key. We predict a strong run at rock radio, but a return to the days of "Bring Me To Life"-like success is unlikely.

Just a FYI
PBS NOVA Seeing Stars...
Very good program about the different types of telescopes Earth based and in space...
Space exploration has reached its golden age. Over the last few decades our view of the cosmos has fundamentally changed due to advances in the design of telescopes. Throughout history, telescopes have led to significant shifts in our sense of our place in the universe. Today, the development of new telescopes mean we are on the cusp of a new era of discovery... The latest telescopes now allow astronomers to observe objects and events formerly hidden from view in the 'invisible universe' - the vast realm that exists beyond the visible part of the spectrum of light. It is here that breathtaking new discoveries are being made, often by chance - giant black holes; supernovas; entire new galaxies - discoveries that completely alter our understanding of the universe. From NASA's Sofia infra-red telescope which scans the sky at 45,000 feet in the air, from the back of a converted plane, to the telescope designed to orbit the Earth beyond the moon, Horizon takes a look at the telescopes opening this new window outside our world. These machines are among the most advanced ever built: triumphs of ambition and design, engineered to function perfectly in some of the harshest places on Earth - and beyond. From bizarre structures for detecting elusive cosmic rays to epic shrines to science high on desert mountains, the latest telescopes will change our view of space forever.

Save the Bees Mix Seed
"The declining bee population is a troubling concern for everyone, especially farmers and gardeners. Colony collapse and die-off are serious problems, because we depend on bees to pollinate many of the fruits and vegetables we eat. Bees are also important to animals and birds that feed on wild berries, nuts and seeds produced by bee-pollinated plants. Though scientists are still debating as to the causes of bee decline, loss of habitat and food sources for wild bees may be a concern for them."

I was inspired to start this thread after seeing someone post pictures from my neck of the woods in the "go for a ride and take a picture" thread. Even though I haven't lived here in many, many years, I still consider it to be "home."
Looking south, towards the regrowth fields and the hedgerow
That's my Dad out there When I was little, the coolest thing EVER was getting to ride with him.
Locust forest in front of house. I used to sleep in that hammock after 12 hour shifts at the fish fry I worked at.
I can't believe how green it is back home. It is even more bright in person.
I got soaked seconds after I took this...that "mist" in the distance is actually a sheet of incoming rain.
Thanks for indulging me. I have a huge case of homesickness. Does anyone else have pictures from wherever they consider "home"?

Why and how the Kindle changes everything,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kindle: Amazon's Original Wireless Reading Device (1st generation) (Electronics)
This is less a "pros and cons" review than a hopefully useful commentary about the Kindle compared with other eReaders and what it means for the eBook industry. (I believe that everything has changed with the Kindle's creation.)
For many years I have been an avid reader of eBooks using almost every eReading device on the market. So as an early-adopter of techie gadgets I had been anxiously awaiting Amazon's Kindle since its first rumors. So I immediately purchased it both out of curiosity and hoping for a better "next generation" eBook solution. In case you're wondering whether I'm "that" Steve Gibson, I probably am -- I'm the guy who gets Google's first three or four links when Googling my name.
I was driven to write this review because it is somewhat distressing and, it seems to me, a bit unfair for the Kindle's average review rating to be dragged so far down by Kindle NON-OWNERS who, judging from their comments, seem to be quite annoyed by all of the positive comments about a device that's expensive, monochrome, not a general purpose media player, unable to leap tall buildings, or in some way less than they were expecting, wanting, or hoping. In contrast to non-owners, the people who actually HAVE Kindle's appear to universally love it, though with very valid caveats. I think of this as "The TiVo Effect" since, for the right sort of user, the Kindle will be life-changing ... but it certainly won't be that for everyone. Although it took me a few days to get completely comfortable with it, I am now hooked.
So, for what it's worth, if this posting is discovered by any truly interested pre-purchasers, I hope that the following commentary might place the Kindle in "perspective" and be of some value to you. (And if it is, I hope you'll click the button at the bottom to indicate that, so that this review might be found by more potential buyers ... Thank you!)
I have read many novel-length books on my various Palm's, I owned the original Rocket eBook, and I own both generations of Sony's eInk readers, the PRS-500 and PRS-505. So my clear bias is of someone who enjoys technology for its own sake and who loves the idea of reading books on a "device."
Amazon's first-generation Kindle arguably has a few warts (see below). So depending upon your needs, budget, willingness to purchase a "first-generation" gizmo that you might regret purchasing and want to replace a year from now, and so forth, you might well decide to wait for the next generation Kindle that will doubtless be even better. But whether you choose to jump aboard now or later, Amazon's entry into the eBook market is a BIG deal -- it forever changes the game. I think there is no doubt that for the first time ever, a substantial number of people who were never captivated by ANY previous eBook system will find themselves reading and enjoying textual content on Kindle's eInk screen.
The weird initial love/hate reaction to the Kindle is being compared with Apple's iPod, which was also initially met with striking polarization. We all know how that turned out. :) Although the iPod was far from being the first portable MP3 player, and critics called it a copycat, it was the first portable music player to go mainstream, and it changed the world. I believe that, similarly, the large and tightly interacting collection of Kindle features, that go far beyond those of any other previous eBook attempt, will cause the Kindle to be the first eBook to succeed. By connecting their massive book library, as well as newspapers, magazines, blogs and the Web -- wirelessly -- to a long-battery-life chunk of consumer plastic, Amazon has kicked eBooks into the mainstream.
Is the Kindle perfect? Not yet. Is it expensive? Yep. Does it feel like a first-generation product? Absolutely. Will I purchase the next Kindle too? Please let me be first in line!
Investing in Kindle's future...
From a DRM (digital rights management, aka eBook copy-protection) perspective, my eBook content ownership is already spread around all over the place; from Mobipocket, to Palm eReader, to Sony Connect, and now to Amazon Kindle. Sure, that annoys me a bit, but it's the price one pays for being an early adopter of technology that isn't yet ready for prime time ... as, until now, no eBook system has been. Sony's efforts came the closest, but that all ended for Sony (and everyone else) with the introduction of the Kindle. Existing owners of other eBook formats will certainly continue purchasing content for their devices, but who in the U.S. would purchase a new $300 Sony eReader when for an additional $100 they could have the Kindle ... which is so much more than any of the other "disconnected" read-only devices?
In other words, given that Amazon is Amazon, and the fact that they already, right out of the gate, offer so much more than any other previous solution, I feel comfortable now building up my eBook content ownership with Amazon. Sure, I've been wrong before, but this is where I'm placing my bet. I won't be purchasing any more content for Palm's eReader or Sony's. And I like the fact that the content I am purchasing now for this first-generation Kindle will certainly always be readable on whatever future generation devices Amazon's efforts will evolve into.
Look Ma, no wires!
The huge deal with TiVo was time-shifting and commercial skipping. The huge deal with the Kindle is its wireless connectivity. Being a "traditional" eBook user -- i.e. download into PC and "dock" the eReader to upload -- I didn't 'get' that at first. Now I'm as hooked by that on the Kindle as I am by my Tivo's ability to whiz through endless commercials. The Kindle brings the same sort of freedom and power to textual content that the cell phone brought to voice communications.
Sure, I'll purchase eBooks for the Kindle. But I have subscribed to a newspaper and two magazines ... and it is truly a paradigm shift to have their content "just be there" in the morning all by itself. And the periodical content is clean, blessedly free of ads, unnecessary pictures and distractions.
An ugly duckling in need of forgiveness?
Like many people who worship the infinitely-understated elegance of Apple's iPhone (and many other Apple creations), the Kindle's appearance put me off at first. I was as vocally critical of the darned thing as any of those "one star" reviewers. When the first early photos of it leaked a few months before its release, I thought "No way, what a joke! That must be an early balsa-wood mock-up." Now that weird angular wedggie is sitting here next to me as I type this. And I have forgiven it because something odd happens after using it for a few days: You begin to realize that it really works ... and it works well. (And have you ever tried actually typing on the iPhone's all-screen keyboard?)
Did someone say "warts"?
The Kindle's screen appears to have slightly lower contrast than Sony's second generation reader, but much more than Sony's first generation offering. Also, the Kindle's fonts are *far* superior to Sony's, extremely legible, in six sizes and with real italics, not just algorithmic slanting. I'm a bit annoyed that the line-spacing is so large on the larger fonts since page changing is an "event", but, again, this is just the first shot.
And speaking of page changing, I am not a big fan of the page navigation on this first Kindle. So much of the device is devoted to making page changing easy that it's difficult to pick up and handle the device without inadvertently changing pages. But once you're settled down and reading, the fact that only a thumb-twitch is required is nice. One way or another I'm sure that Amazon will get plenty of feedback about everything ... and the next one will be even better.
You want to charge me what??!!
There's also been a great deal of confusion about Amazon charging for the conversion and delivery of our own content into our own Kindles. Amazon *only* charges for wireless delivery, the conversion is 100% free. If you eMail your content to email@example.com it's converted and downloaded into your Kindle for 10 cents. But if, instead, you eMail your content to email@example.com it's converted and a link to the converted file is eMailed to your registered eMail address at NO charge. You can then download it and use your PC's USB connection to transfer the content to the Kindle.
Moreover, the FREE MobiPocket v4.2 Creator will convert many formats -- HTML, MS Word Docs, Text, and Adobe PDF into .PRC files -- nicely compressed and encrypted if you wish -- which, when transferred into the Kindle are directly readable. I have converted two large eBooks which I already had in PDF format into native Kindle format and they work perfectly -- no cost and no Amazon involvement at all. And I'm sure that quite soon there will be all sorts of free Kindle content converters popping up all over the place.
So I'm glad that I purchased this first-generation device, and that I'm participating in the first real wave of eBook industry creation. None of my other eBook readers offer nearly what the Kindle does. Thanks to Amazon and their Kindle, eBooks have finally happened.

This is a very good and thoughtful review. I am also an avid ebook reader, but have done all my reading with various reader programs on my Palm. I like having the many sources available for downloading books for my Palm Treo, including free books from the public library. The things that worry me about the Kindle, are the cost and the closed source for material. Yes there have been so many positive reviews, but notice how many of them have been from beta testers. I wonder how positive the reviews will be after many more people have actually purchased this product?

Hello Steve! I listen to your weekly podcast and I am addicted to it. I believe I am already addicted to the Kindle as well. I have never had a ebook reader in my life but I read a lot, so the Kindle was a no brainer for me. After watching the videos demonstrating it, I JUST HAD TO HAVE ONE! How cool that you can download content while laying in bed or sitting in your favorite easy chair.
I love the Kindle and I'm sure a lot of reading is in store for me. One thing I don't like is the big " previous page " button on the left. But Steve you are right again as once you settle into that easy chair and start reading it is easy to flip through the pages by positioning your hands just right. I bought the King James version of the Bible for a whopping 80 cents. I'm a tech freak but I have to remind myself every now and then that God has something to say to me. ..:)

Can Dublin be reinvented as sports hub?
As part of our REINVENTING DUBLIN series, IAN O'RIORDAN argues that our capital should be able to take its place among the great sporting cities of the world, but we're not even out of the starting blocks
Some people might need reminding that Dublin once did, in all seriousness, consider bidding for the Olympics, mapping out a site down in the docklands, and promising to transform existing sporting facilities to help stage the greatest show on earth.
It was 1992, and Gay Mitchell, then Lord Mayor, in fact established several working groups to examine the necessary infrastructure, before being brought back down to earth by Pat Hickey, president of the Olympic Council of Ireland, who warned him "we couldn't even build the jacks".
Now, 20 years on, as hard as it is to fathom, Dublin's potential of ever hosting the Olympics seems further away than ever: when London was awarded the 2012 Olympics, our politicians jumped the gun once more, considering Dublin an ideal training base for teams wishing to acclimatise, familiarise, etc.
Again, that proved wishful thinking. Indeed UCD was trumpeted as a perfect training base, yet shortly afterwards dug up its running track, and hasn't touched it since. No wonder the precious few teams that did come were, essentially, nobodies.
Truth is Dublin would still struggle to offer any proper Olympic venue, with just a few exceptions: Croke Park, its 82,300 capacity making it the fourth largest stadium in Europe, could host the football (provided the GAA give permission), and likewise the 51,700 all-seater Aviva Stadium, although both grounds were redeveloped without room for a running track – the pity there being both actually started life as athletics facilities.
The Aviva Stadium will host this season's Heineken Cup final, and attracted the Europa League final two years ago, although again, the IRFU's potential bid for the 2023 Rugby World Cup will be dependent on the GAA allowing Croke Park to be used too, plus its other main GAA stadiums around the country. With no small irony, that final would probably end being played in Croke Park.
London used many existing facilities to host the Olympics, including the ExCel, Wembley Arena, and the O2 – to go with their spanking new velodrome, swimming arena, and of course Olympic Stadium.
Dublin could possibly do likewise, or at least use Dun Laoghaire as a sailing venue, and might even squeeze an event into the Dublin Convention Centre, although for its €380 million price tag, it so far only seems suitable for staging sporting awards, rather than sporting events.
Some optimists might point to the excellent job Dublin did of hosting the Special Olympics, in 2003, although in terms of necessary sporting infrastructure, they were more along the lines of the Community Games than Olympic Games.
One particular facility remains sorely lacking, and perhaps best demonstrates how Dublin has missed countless opportunities to reinvent itself as a truly worthy sporting capital: back in 1987, Charles Haughey, then Taoiseach, staged a press conference at the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, surrounded, I'm told, by most of his cabinet. With typical pomp, Haughey unveiled the Government's long-promised plan for a National Convention Centre, which after a feasibility study costing well over one million of our dear old punts, was finally approved for the Dublin docklands.
It would, assured Haughey, house the similarly long-promised Indoor Sporting Arena, and with that give Irish athletics the indoor track it desperately needed.
Truth is I wasn't there, although my father was, and overcome with a sense of déjà vu, he stood up in front of the assembly to ask whether he'd see this indoor track in his lifetime, to which Haughey cynically replied: "How old are you, young man?" – prompting all-round laughter.
Well, my father is not a young man anymore, although he is still living in hope, that he'll see this indoor track in Dublin in his lifetime.
Later, in 1999, I stood in Santry Stadium to hear Jim McDaid, then minister for sport, unveil grand plans for an indoor track, to be built adjacent to the athletics stadium, yet no stone was ever turned; and in 2004, I heard another then minister for sport, John O'Donoghue, buzzing about his great new venture at Abbotstown, which would, eventually, boast an indoor sporting arena. Although, thankfully, Bertie never got to build his bowl there, either.
Sometimes it's a matter of building it, and they'll come: the National Boxing Stadium, down on South Circular Road, is hardly the most modern facility, but its modestly equipped gym has helped win us four Olympic medals in London.
The National Basketball Arena, in Tallaght, and the National Aquatic Centre, in Blanchardstown, are equally valuable, but would require major upgrading to stage an international championship.
Indeed Hickey more recently declared that we still have "zero percent" of proper Olympic facilities in Dublin, and perhaps the best we can hope for right now is that should Gaelic Games ever become an Olympic sport, at least then Dublin could step up to the starting blocks.

Can't see how the state of the government has anything to do with the
stock-market, unless the government is criminally funding the stock market with
financial fraud. I feel sorry for anyone putting any trust in the stock market
by gambling away their life's savings to keep it afloat.
And I hope the public investors don't plan on any benefits from their lost savings. It'll never happens and is never intended to happen in large scale retirement groups draining wall street of funds.
Good night, good luck.

english paragraph The full title of this poem is "Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, on Revisiting the Banks of the Wye during a Tour. July 13, 1798." It opens with the speaker's declaration that five years have passed since he last visited this location, encountered its tranquil, rustic scenery, and heard the murmuring waters of the river. He recites the objects he sees again, and describes their effect upon him: the "steep and lofty cliffs" impress upon him "thoughts of more deep seclusion"; he leans against the dark sycamore tree and looks at the cottage-grounds and the orchard trees, whose fruit is still unripe. He sees the "wreaths of smoke" rising up from cottage chimneys between the trees, and imagines that they might rise from "vagrant dwellers in the houseless woods," or from the cave of a hermit in the deep forest.
The speaker then describes how his memory of these "beauteous forms" has worked upon him in his absence from them: when he was alone, or in crowded towns and cities, they provided him with "sensations sweet, / Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart." The memory of the woods and cottages offered "tranquil restoration" to his mind, and even affected him when he was not aware of the memory, influencing his deeds of kindness and love. He further credits the memory of the scene with offering him access to that mental and spiritual state in which the burden of the world is lightened, in which he becomes a "living soul" with a view into "the life of things." The speaker then says that his belief that the memory of the woods has affected him so strongly may be "vain"—but if it is, he has still turned to the memory often in times of "fretful stir."
Even in the present moment, the memory of his past experiences in these surroundings floats over his present view of them, and he feels bittersweet joy in reviving them. He thinks happily, too, that his present experience will provide many happy memories for future years. The speaker acknowledges that he is different now from how he was in those long-ago times, when, as a boy, he "bounded o'er the mountains" and through the streams. In those days, he says, nature made up his whole world: waterfalls, mountains, and woods gave shape to his passions, his appetites, and his love. That time is now past, he says, but he does not mourn it, for though he cannot resume his old relationship with nature, he has been amply compensated by a new set of more mature gifts; for instance, he can now "look on nature, not as in the hour / Of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes / The still, sad music of humanity." And he can now sense the presence of something far more subtle, powerful, and fundamental in the light of the setting suns, the ocean, the air itself, and even in the mind of man; this energy seems to him "a motion and a spirit that impels / All thinking thoughts.... / And rolls through all things." For that reason, he says, he still loves nature, still loves mountains and pastures and woods, for they anchor his purest thoughts and guard the heart and soul of his "moral being."
The speaker says that even if he did not feel this way or understand these things, he would still be in good spirits on this day, for he is in the company of his "dear, dear (d) Sister," who is also his "dear, dear Friend," and in whose voice and manner he observes his former self, and beholds "what I was once." He offers a prayer to nature that he might continue to do so for a little while, knowing, as he says, that "Nature never did betray / The heart that loved her," but leads rather "from joy to joy." Nature's power over the mind that seeks her out is such that it renders that mind impervious to "evil tongues," "rash judgments," and "the sneers of selfish men," instilling instead a "cheerful faith" that the world is full of blessings. The speaker then encourages the moon to shine upon his sister, and the wind to blow against her, and he says to her that in later years, when she is sad or fearful, the memory of this experience will help to heal her. And if he himself is dead, she can remember the love with which he worshipped nature. In that case, too, she will remember what the woods meant to the speaker, the way in which, after so many years of absence, they became more dear to him—both for themselves and for the fact that she is in them.

The Christian's Highest Occupation
Alfred P. Gibbs
Copyright © 1950
THE MEANING OF WORSHIP: THE Holy PERFUME
As we further think of the definition of worship, let us now consider:
6. The Holy Perfume (Exodus 30:34-38)
This very beautiful picture of worship is given to us as part of God's revelation to Moses in
regard to the Tabernacle, concerning which He had said: "Make me a sanctuary, that I may
dwell among them" (Exodus 25:18). Minute instructions were given regarding the details of its
furnishings, and we find God repeatedly saying to Moses: "And look that thou make them
after their pattern, which was showed thee in the mount" (Exodus 25:9; 40:26, 30; 27:8, cp.
Hebrews 8:5).
"And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and
galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered
together, pure and holy: And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the
testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto
you most holy. And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to
yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the Lord.
Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people"
(Exodus 30:34-38)
Three things impress themselves on the mind as one reads this passage regarding the holy
(1) The Exclusive Use of It (verses 37-38)
It was reserved solely for use in the worship of God in the sanctuary. God expressly forbade its
manufacture for any other purpose. The obvious inference from this is that worship belongs to
God alone, and that He will share this honor with none. David, "the sweet Psalmist of Israel," by
the Spirit's inspiration wrote: "He is thy Lord, worship thou him . . . Exalt ye the Lord our
God, and worship at his footstool, for he is holy . . . O come, let us worship and bow down:
Let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker" (Psalm 45:11; 99:5; 95:6).
It will be recalled that the first demand of the law was: "Thou shalt have no other gods before
me . . . for I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God" (Exodus 20:3-5).
There is no substitute for spiritual worship. It is the unique right, the sole property, and the
exclusive privilege of God Himself and He will not tolerate any rival. Idolatry, in its essence, is
simply that by which man seeks to displace God, or which attempts to relegate Him to a position
of secondary importance. An idol is anything that a man worships in his heart, to the exclusion of
God. It was because of the idolatrous apostasy of Israel that God:
- Set Israel aside nationally,
- Allowed them to go into captivity,
- Scattered them to the four corners of the earth. (See II Kings 17:7-18; II Chronicles 36:14-17).
We do well to pay good heed to the Divine dictum: "I am the Lord, that is my name, and my
glory will I not give to another" (Isaiah 42:8). He alone claims the title of, "Holy and
Reverend" (Psalm 111:9).
There is always the subtle danger of becoming more occupied with:
- The visible, than the invisible;
- With the temporal, than the eternal;
- With an outward and formal ceremony, than an inward and spiritual reality.
There can therefore be no substitute for spiritual worship:
- However ornate may be the ritual,
- Or gorgeous the vestments,
- Or beautiful the building,
- Or well phrased the prayers,
- Or smoothly conducted the service.
Undoubtedly all this has an appeal to the esthetic senses, and is well pleasing to the flesh, for
man is naturally religious; but it is not spiritual, and consequently cannot please God.
(2) The Ingredients that Formed it (verses 34-36)
Four ingredients, compounded in equal proportions, composed this perfume, and each part was
necessary to the whole. These ingredients were stacte, onycha, galbanum and frankincense. Each
of these four things has a typical significance which we shall not dwell on now.
Let us think of them as four elements which, when compounded together in the heart of the
believer, as he sits in the presence of God, causes the perfume of his worship to ascend to the
Father and the Son.
The first ingredient is remembrance.
It is good for the believer to use his memory to recall what he used to be by nature, and
what he now is, by God's matchless grace.
The words of Paul to the saints at Ephesus are pertinent to this:
"Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh . . . but now, in Christ
Jesus . . . are made nigh" (Ephesians 2:11, 13).
Let each Christian call to mind his black past, when he was without God, without Christ, without
life and without hope. Then let him contrast this with his present acceptance in the Beloved,
together with all the spiritual blessings that are now his present and eternal possession. Surely the
result of such remembrance will cause him to life his heart in adoration to the One who made this
so blessedly actual to his experience.
His memory should also be focused on the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Himself. The
purpose of the Lord 's Supper, as indicated by the Lord Himself is: "This do in remembrance
of me."
In view of this, worship will become an essential feature of such a meeting, for worship is
kindled upon the fires of remembrance. As David puts it: "While I was musing, the fire
burned; then spake I with my tongue" (Psalm 39:3).
It is memory that enables us to recall the record of His matchless life, as given in the holy
The Christian should therefore concentrate upon:
- Christ's wondrous words,
- His mighty deeds,
- His perfect and holy character,
- His absolute obedience to the father's will,
- His infinite grace in going to the cross,
- His completed work of redemption accomplished by the sacrifice of Himself,
- His victorious resurrection,
- His glorious ascension,
- His present ministry as the great HIGH PRIEST of His people.
As he does so, the believer's heart will warm within him, and his worship shall rise to God as a
fragrant perfume.
The second ingredient is gratitude.
As memory recalls all that God is and has done, the heart responds, even as the strings of a harp
break forth into song beneath the skilful hands of a master musician. We have before noted that
the gratitude of the believer delights the heart of the Father.
Socrates, the great Grecian philosopher, declared that gratitude was the greatest of all the virtues,
and ingratitude the basest of all the vices.
A study of the great worship hymns indicate how great a part gratitude plays in their
composition. Hannah Burlington beautifully expresses it thus:
"The knowing this, that us He loves,
Hath made our cup run o'er;
Jesus, Thy name our spirit moves,
Today and evermore."
The "Ter Stegen" hymns are amongst the finest we have. One of them, by Ernst C. Homburg,
written nearly 300 years ago, is redolent with gratitude:
"O Lord, from my heart I do thank Thee
For all Thou hast borne in my room,
Thine agony, dying unsolaced,
Alone in the darkness of doom,
That I, in the glory of Heaven,
For ever and ever might be --
A thousand, a thousand thanksgivings
I bring, blessed Saviour, to Thee!"
The third ingredient is reverence.
This is produced as the soul apprehends, in some measure at least:
- The greatness of God,
- The majesty of His Divine character,
- The glory of His unique attributes,
As displayed in His
- Omniscience,
- Omnipotence,
- Omnipresence
- Immutability.
We are living in an age characterized largely by cynicism, flippancy and lightness regarding
Divine things.
The modern trend is to humanize Deity and deify humanity, and that has not aided in man's
concept of God. One has only to read the Scriptures to discover that whenever a person was
brought consciously into the presence of God, it filled him with a holy awe, humbled him in the
dust and produced a deep reverence for God.
Moses, the great leader of Israel, was taught this lesson many times. At God's first revelation to
him at the burning bush, the voice of Jehovah said: "Draw not nigh hither; put thy shoes from
off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground" (Exodus 3:5).
At God's revelation to him on the mount, in response to his request to see God's glory, God gave
him a vision of Himself. At this august spectacle we read: "Moses made haste, and bowed his
head towards the earth, and worshipped" (Exodus 34:8).
Isaiah, whose magnificent concept of Deity has thrilled the hearts of the people of God for
twenty-five centuries, had to lay to heart this essential requirement. In chapter six of his
prophecy, he describes the vision he had of the glory of God which completely revolutionized his
life. This sight not only filled him with a sense of his own littleness, uncleanness and
insufficiency, but indelibly impressed upon him God's greatness, holiness and power.
Daniel, "the man of desires," tells us that when he saw the majestic vision of God: "There
remained no strength in me, for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption and I
retained no strength" (Daniel 10:5-11).
We could add others to this list, but these will suffice to indicate how necessary it is that godly
reverence accompany all our dealings with Divine things.
This reverence must always be present if our worship is to be acceptable to the One who is
described as "The high and lofty One, who inhabiteth eternity," and who hath declared: "Let
all the earth fear the Lord: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him" (Psalm
Familiarity with God can never produce contempt, for those who know Him best, love and fear
Him most. The more God impresses the soul with His Person, the greater that individual is filled
with holy awe as he stands in the presence of Him, before Whose eyes "all things are open and
naked" (Hebrews 4:13).
It should be obvious that humility of mind, sobriety of manner, and sincerity of spirit are
essential to and fitting in the presence of the One who said: "Ye shall . . . reverence my
sanctuary. I am the LORD" (Leviticus 19:30).
The fourth ingredient is amazement.
We have before indicated that worship has, as one of its basic requirements, the element of
wonder. He who ceases to wonder, ceases to worship.
The hymn writer has put it thus:
"I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean!
O how wonderful! O how marvelous!
And my song shall ever be,
O how wonderful! O how marvelous!
Is my Saviour's love to me!"
One of the many titles of Deity is "Wonderful."
Everything about the Almighty takes upon itself this character. As the believer thinks of the
wonder of His Person, His creation, His word, His Son, His love, His salvation and of each
Christian's blessedness, he is led to exclaim with another:
"That Thou should love a wretch like me,
And be the God Thou art,
Is darkness to my intellect,
But sunshine to my heart!"
(3) The Purpose of It.
It was for God's pleasure and for His glory. These ingredients, equally compounded together,
combined to produce a perfume which ascended to God in a fragrant stream and brought great
pleasure to Him. Likewise, when a believer sits in the presence of God, with an equal measure of
remembrance, gratitude, reverence and amazement well compounded in his heart, there will
undoubtedly rise, from the censer of his soul, a silver stream of humble, reverent, sincere and
adoring worship to his God and Father, and to the Lord Jesus Christ.
This, in turn, will delight God's heart, for it fulfils His desire for the worship of His people. This
was expressed by His Son in these words: "The hour cometh, and now is, when the true
worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship
him" (John 4:23)
Our last consideration, under the heading of the meaning of worship, is:
7. The Root Meaning of the Word in the Old Testament
Those that understand such things have affirmed that the root meaning of the Hebrew word
carries the thought of "a dog to its master."
As one approaches the town of Hartsdale from the city of New York, he will observe, to his left,
an animal cemetery. It is perhaps the most ornate in the world. Beneath marble monuments,
some costing hundreds of dollars, like the remains of pet animals and even birds.
Many of these tombstone's bear sentimental epitaphs, such as: "Momsie's only baby."
Others are grotesque, as one over a dog which reads: "He cannot come to us, be we can go to
However, there is one epitaph that stands out from them all.
It is of a dog whose master caused to be inscribed: "To the memory of Bruce, the devoted
servant, faithful friend, warm admirer, and ardent worshipper of his master." Then follows the
name of its owner. Does this not aptly describe what a dog is? Dogs have been described, and not
without some cause, as "man's best friend."
A cynic once remarked: "The more I know of human beings, the better I appreciate dogs!"
Let us use an illustration to clarify this point.
We will suppose that a man, warmly clad, ventures forth on a blustery and bitterly cold night.
The temperature is below zero, and the streets are practically deserted. Presently he sees a poor,
neglected, shivering and half starved cur, sheltering behind a telephone pole from the biting
wind. Some cruel boys have tied a can to its tail, and it has been kicked from pillar to post, until
now it is almost at the end of its tether. It will never survive a night like this on the streets.
The man pauses and looks the dog over. What a pitiable sight it is: thin, miserable, frightened,
homeless, hungry and on its last legs!
His compassion is stirred and, yielding to the impulse of the moment, he stoops down, reaches
out his hand and calls to the dog. Suspicious as first, for the dog has good reasons for distrusting
mankind, it gradually approaches, until at length it comes under his hand. The man pats it on the
head, strokes it, all the while speaking kindly words. Then, after removing the string and the can
from its tail, he lifts it up, opens his overcoat, pops it in, and carries it back to his home.
When he enters his home he says to his wife:
"I've found a poor starving dog on the street, that will surely die tonight, unless it finds a home.
Please put a sack in the corner of the kitchen and we'll take care of it for at least tonight."
Accordingly, the dog is gently placed on the sack, and a delicious bowl of hot bread and milk is
given it, followed by some scraps from the evening meal. For the first time in many days the dog
wags its tail in gratitude for this unusual kindness. The next morning it greets its benefactors
with another friendly wag of its tail, and they decide to give it a permanent home.
A month passes by, and what a wonderful change it produces in that dog! As a result of good
food and proper care, one would scarcely recognize the fine looking animal as that miserable
starving cur of four weeks ago.
One evening, as the man is sitting in an easy chair, with one hand hanging over the arm of the
chair, he suddenly feels something warm and wet on his hand. Glancing down he sees the dog
looking up at him with adoring eyes as, again and again, it licks the hand of the one to whom it
owes everything. The dog had not come into the room to beg for a bone, or even to be petted.
It wanted nothing from its owner but the privilege of sitting in his presence, so that it might look
at him with rapt, adoring eyes and, every now and then, to enjoy the privilege of licking the hand
of the one whom it loved above all others.
This is worship.
Now apply this to the believer, who once was a lost, guilty and helpless sinner, deserving
only the judgment of a holy God.
- Through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
- By faith in His substitutionary sacrifice and glorious resurrection,
- By acceptance of Him as Saviour and Lord,
He has been:
- Redeemed,
- Saved
- Brought into a place of acceptance, provision and security.
Surely it is not too much for the Lord to expect that His people, saved as such an infinite cost,
will want, like that dog, to come into His presence in order to be occupied only with the One
whom, "having not seen, they love" with all their hearts. May it be yours and mine to know
something, by experience, of the real meaning and nature of worship, and thus fulfil His purpose
in our salvation.
The words of Miss C.A. Wellesley will form a fitting conclusion to this section of our study:
"Occupied with Thee, Lord Jesus, in Thy grace;
All Thy ways and thoughts about me
Only trace
Deeper stories of the glories
Of Thy grace.
Taken up with Thee Lord Jesus I would be;
Finding joy and satisfaction
All in Thee;
Thou the nearest and the dearest
Unto me."

Any hope for Cozart for the ROS 2014? He hit 246 in 2012 and 254 in 2013 with 15 and 12 Home runs respectively. He is hitting 222 with 2 HR's so far in 2014. If he normalizes then he could have a productive second half. Unfortunately, he hasn't shown any indication of hitting this year. Doesn't seem like Cinci has given up on him, yet... Any hope for the rest of the season?

In 1958, Roy Sievers of the Washington Nationals (i.e., Washington Senators) was one of the best sluggers in the game. The previous year, he knocked out a league-leading 42 dingers and he would follow it up in '58 with another 38 homers.
Just before opening day in 1958, Mr. Sievers graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, the first Washington baseball player to do so (according to our research).
Washington has not had an abundance of baseball stars at a level high enough to warrant the cover spot – okay, unfair because we were without a team for 34 years. The next Washington Senator to appear on the cover was not a player, but their manager Ted Williams in March 1969.
D.C. went without a cover star or a team until our rocket-armed superstar, Stephen Strasburg, came to town for his debut in June 2010, blowing away the Pittsburgh Pirates, landing on the cover of the magazine a couple of days later.
As a side note, June 7th and 8th, 2010 were two of the greatest days in recent Washington baseball memory, with Harper being drafted and Strasburg making his major league debut. Those dates have permanently been etched as the beginning of a new, dominant baseball force in our nation's capital.
That new baseball force is summed up perfectly with today's Sports Illustrated cover, featuring Bryce Harper.
Welcome to 2013 Washington Nationals baseball. Here we go!

Lawmakers say they're still working on details of a tax plan to raise about $1 billion for North Carolina state government this year.
House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman said Thursday that Senate and House Democrats have reached a tentative agreement that would be inserted into the final budget.
It would raise the sales tax by a penny and create an income tax surcharge.
Holliman and a Senate counterpart said the plan likely will make the highest wage earners pay a 3 percent income tax surcharge. Those who make less -- perhaps single filers making as low as $60,000 -- would face a 2 percent surcharge.
Gov. Beverly Perdue rejected a similar plan last week because the surcharge would have been paid by all income taxpayers.

Need a compact travel zoom, dyzzing choices. Recommendations?

Need a compact travel zoom, dyzzing choices. Recommendations?
I have an aging Canon SX20 that I'd like to replace. I don't need 20x zoom, but greater than 10x. I want full 1080p30 HD and as good still images as I can get. And it has to slide into a belt pouch or pocket. Cost less than $500.
I know that cost is far more than these typically cost. and I'm find paying for better images. I tried the P770 but it was very slow to operate, and the zoom is not that long. But if you could get the P7700 with a 12x, and make it snappy to operate while keeping the great image & video quality, I wouldn't need to post this question.

Fascinating monikers on this forum. Many pay tribute to their favorite ball players or something else that means something special to them. I chose Carnie Wilson because she is one of my favorite singers. Did you know she is the daughter of American 1960s pop icon Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys?
As for the Sox, I have complete faith in Ben and John. They are putting together the next great Red Sox team. I'm willing to wait and enjoy.
