Pipeline a moral issueJune 16,2014
There are many reasons to oppose the gas pipeline proposed for the western side of Vermont, including safety, potential threats to the lake and the use of fracked gas. But there is a larger overriding issue: that we simply must stop depending on fossil fuels. Instead, Vermont Gas is proposing, and state government is supporting, new fossil fuel infrastructure that will continue to burn fossil fuels for years to come.
Our world is heating up precipitously with disastrous results already in terms of rising seas, massive storms, prolonged droughts and increasing wildfires. For example, a recent study stated that the evidence is clear that the West Antarctic ice shelf is irreversibly melting and as a result sea levels are going to rise at least 4 feet. It is happening now, but these are just the harbingers of what is to come. The damage and devastation will be enormous.
This is not just an environmental, political or economic issue. This is a moral issue. We are making decisions today that will leave a hostile world for our children and grandchildren. Many of us, like myself, will be gone by the time the worst damage from climate change is felt. But our children and grandchildren will feel the full impact, and they will live in a world that is far different than the one we enjoy today. That is just not right.
It is immoral for us to leave this awful legacy to our children. We need to do whatever we can right now to alter the course of climate change. We can start by saying no to yet more fossil fuel infrastructure.

Saturn is seen as the administrator and agent of Karmic law in Soul-centered astrology. It is this planet that initiates individuals, ready to put to test those who wish to achieve a higher state of consciousness. Saturn is all about equality and justice, so it comes as no surprise that Saturn is said to be in its exalted position when placed in Libra.
A person can't ascend to the realms of the 'higher heavens' (read: increased awareness and consciousness) without fulfilling first the responsibilities of his or her personal karma. Only after living correctly in the lower, more personal spheres of life we can move into the more transpersonal, collective spheres of activity.
The position of Saturn in each Sun sign indicates several important things (such as the qualities an individual may be inhibiting or what the Soul needs in order to grow emotionally and to increase its awareness and consciousness). Therefore, in the following paragraphs we'll take a look at the influence of Saturn in each Sun sign and what it tells us about our Soul growth.
In Aries: Mercury is the esoteric ruler of Aries. It joins its energies with those of Saturn, thus leading to intelligent, effective communication. A habit which may inhibit Soul growth is that of dominating others with your own thoughts for personal gain.
In Taurus: If material abundance is your only focus, then this desire will block the wealth of the Soul from finding a way to exteriorize. The Soul-centered purpose is linked to harnessing material possessions, but in the sense that it seeks treasures of the Earth for the service of the Soul. Saturn destroys anything in the formative world that prevents the Soul from externalizing.
In Gemini: Your Soul-centered purpose is to become an agent for the Law of Right Human Relationships. You have to understand the role and importance of mutual responsibilities in relationship, and to use the mind as a loving tool of communication. Basically, your goal is to achieve harmonious relationships.
In Cancer: This position often reveals that fundamental psychological circumstances limit the expression of the Soul. You have to learn how to detach from the emotional dynamics of the earlier life, and create a conscious connection to your higher self and higher mind. Transform emotional restriction into greater compassion.
In Leo: Creativity is the keyword in any planetary combination involving this Sun sign. Those who have Saturn in Leo tend to use personal power to control their environment. From a Soul-centered perspective, this tendency must be changed so that personal creative power is channeled towards service to others.
In Virgo: Virgo is correlated with the Mother, and therefore, it is linked to birthing those forms which create the opportunity to express the Soul's love. In this position, Saturn demands that the individual learn not to waste mental efforts on superfluous activities.
In Libra: As it has already been mentioned in the introductory paragraphs, Saturn is in its exalted position when in Libra. A Soul-centered person with Saturn in this sign will administer a balanced judgment in the use of energy and is impartial in all instances of human interaction. Therefore, if you have Saturn in Libra, you are the kind of person who relates to others in proper and fair ways, regardless of the circumstances.
In Scorpio: You may experience a very strong inner battle between the emotional and the rational parts of your inner self. This often leads to some challenges concerning your sexual expression. Saturn in this sign gives the ability to release hidden resources and strengths. This position also weakens the compulsive nature of negative emotional habit patterns.
In Sagittarius: The Earth (the esoteric ruler of Sagittarius) combines with Saturn, creating mental pragmatism. Saturn in Sagittarius allows for an individual to extract the wisdom inherent in all creeds and philosophies, and to synthesize this information into a form of teaching which annuls any religious difference.
In Capricorn: This position is a potent one, and when combined with love and wisdom, it may create structures which initiate the individual – and those around him. In this position, Saturn endows the Soul-centered person with both great mental abilities and a talent for handling finances. A person with Saturn in Capricorn tends to make up his or her own rules irrespective of the rules and regulations of the world in which they live.
In Aquarius: Jupiter is the esoteric ruler of this sign. Its combination with Saturn may contribute to a person's performance at work, creating those social networks which anchor group consciousness. This position of Saturn can blend good ideas from the past with the new concepts for the future. The drawback is that personal ideologies inhibit your contribution to society.
In Pisces: If you have this planetary combination, you may uncover the subconscious dynamics which create your fears and their resulting pain and misery. On a more practical level, this can lead to incredible scientific discoveries that can be used to heal major illnesses. Saturn in Pisces leads to the tendency to build artificial barriers and walls, thus getting you stuck in your own fears and inner tensions.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) perpetuates the myth through one of its favorite slogans that "Guns don't kill people; people kill people." CBS Local News reported that Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy testified today that is wrong: "Guns do kill."
McCarthy couldn't disagree more and made the argument, as he testified before an Illinois Senate Subcommittee, chaired by State Senator Dan Kotowksi held at the Bilandic Building in downtown Chicago.
"Simply stated, Chicago's murder problem is a gun problem," McCarthy said. "We have a real simple problem in Chicago. There's too many guns coming in, and there's too little punishment going out." In support of McCarthy's argument that "Guns do kill," McCarthy is armed with a report, which goes against the beliefs of the NRA.
Sitting right behind McCarthy during the testimony was Todd Vandemyde, chief lobbyist for the NRA in Illinois. McCarthy was there to testify on the report: "Tracing the Guns, Impact of Illegal Guns on Violence in Chicago." The highlights of that report are the following:
- Chicago's gun violence is traced to the number of illegal guns that are available in Chicago;
- 60 percent of all guns recovered in crimes in Chicago came from other parts of the country, in other states, many that have weaker gun laws than Chicago; and
- Most of the guns used in crimes came from four stores, three from Cook Country and the other from Gary, Indiana.
The city of Chicago plans on a multifaceted approach to reducing the gun violence, with the commitment by the Mayor's Office and the Chicago Police Department to "take every step to hold accountable the straw purchasers, retail stores, and irresponsible gun owners who arm criminals and young people."
The testimony of McCarthy before the Senate Committee, came on the same day as Rep. Robin Kelly released her gun report.
The release of a 66-page report, "The 2014 Kelly Report on Gun Violence in America," also known as the "Kelly Report," which is the first-ever Congressional analysis of the nation's gun violence epidemic that offers a blueprint for ending the violence with guns crisis in America.
The "Kelly Report" makes the stunning finding that "Approximately one million Americans have died from gunshot wounds in homicides, accidents, and suicides during the last three decades—more than the sum total of combat deaths in all the wars in U.S. history."
The "Kelly Report" calls for gun violence to be called a public health issue. "Over the past 50 years, our society has made far less progress in understanding how to protect our citizens from gun violence (and violence more broadly) than we have learned about how to protect citizens from other serious threats to life and health."
The purpose of the "Kelly Report" and McCarthy's testimony before the Senate Committee was to figure out ways to keep guns out of the wrong hands. McCarthy referred to the report to explore ways to approach the problem, as Rep. Kelly referred to the "Kelly Report."
As expected, Todd Vandemyde of the NRA, said there isn't a problem, saying that many gun shops already take precautions to prevent guns from ending up in the wrong hands.
With Vandemyde taking the company line of the NRA, it is no surprise that they are not interested in public safety, but only interested in protecting the interest of their real clients, the gun manufacturers. Explain that to the 85 Americans killed every single day by gun violence.

It was a strange feeling waking up on November 14th to the sounds of never-ending sirens and a city lined with local police officials and members of the military. In a way, seeing them made me feel safer. In another way, it was a constant reminder of the horrific events that took place on the night of November 13th and what continues occur.
I arrived in Paris on November 7th and traveled around the city before I started my one-year fellowship at ELAN Edelman just one week later. When I went for a short walk the morning after the attacks, it was like Paris had gone to sleep one city and awakened completely different. Expectedly, there was no one in the streets to be found, everything was closed and there was an indescribable tenseness that vibrated through it all.
Somehow, this magical city that was temporarily wounded found an unmatched courage to fill the streets again on Monday morning in a show of solidarity that gave me the strength to do the same. "We know that life must go on," expressed Marion Darrieutort, GM ELAN Edelman, that Monday morning. "They will not take Paris. They cannot challenge how we live. Paris is where we live and where we go out. Everyone wants to move forward."
I believe this same attitude was running through the veins of all Parisians out-and-about that morning. This is not to say that the people of Paris have forgotten about the innocent lives that were taken that night. On the contrary, I believe this was a show of support to the families of lost loved ones that we are all standing with them.
It has now been just over three weeks since the attacks took place and things are starting to feel a bit more "normal" in Paris again. People in the office are brighter, the tenseness has begun to slowly dissipate and shops and restaurants have resumed business as usual.
From a personal and professional standpoint, the last three weeks have taught me so much. I know that with time, I will start to find a groove here in Paris. Until then, I will embrace my discomfort and know that it is all part of this new journey I'm on.

The Libertarian Party of Collier County has announced a plan for a rally/protest to thank whistleblower Edward Snowden for exposing the widespread violations of the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment through our government's domestic spying programs. The rally is scheduled for Saturday, February 22, 2014 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. starting at the corner of US41 and Pine Ridge Road in Naples, Florida with a march down to the Waldorf Astoria Naples. Supporters are encouraged to bring their own homemade signs as they rally in support of our Constitution and the Fourth Amendment.
At the rally, the Libertarian Party of Collier County will also be protesting former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, who is the keynote speaker, at the Collier County Republican Lincoln/Reagan Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Naples. John Bolton recently announced in an interview with Fox News that he believed that Edward Snowden should "swing from a tall oak tree" for his actions.
Jared Grifoni, Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Collier County, stated yesterday, "Given that the last public hanging in the United States occurred back in 1936 for a violent crime, I think it's safe to say this is more evidence of the growing disconnect between a Republican Party stuck living in the past and the overwhelming majority of Americans who believe in liberty and a society free from an Orwellian surveillance state. To see the local GOP honoring a Republican official who thinks that someone should be hanged for telling the American people the truth is disturbing..."
Grifoni continued, "Just like most daunting issues facing Americans today, this is another bipartisan problem. The "most transparent administration in history" of Barack Obama continuing the Bush-era warrantless surveillance of American citizens is case in point. Rather than the token nod that the GOP and Democrats give to portions they may like on a given day, especially during election years, the Libertarian Party stands up for principles embodied within the entire Bill of Rights and Constitution, every day, election year or not."
The Libertarian Party of Collier County was responsible for the first rally in Naples in support of the Fourth Amendment and Edward Snowden that occurred on June 21, 2013, just days after the details of the massive domestic spying operation were reported by the press. Edward Snowden is responsible for exposing the collection of millions of phone records of Americans (PRISM) and of 200 million SMS messages per day across the globe; the collection and monitoring of all US internet traffic through XKeyscore, an NSA program that collects "nearly everything a user does on the Internet" and stores it in databases; the ability of the NSA to tap into smartphones to obtain emails, contact lists, geolocation data, and more; the collection of over 250 million email inbox views and contact lists a year from online services like Yahoo, Gmail and Facebook; plus much more.

An advanced state-of-the-art mobile intensive care unit ambulance, known as a MICU, and that is headed to Israel, was dedicated today in Albuquerque. It was first transported from Indiana to Albuquerque for its dedication on a flat bed truck and parked in front of Congregation Albert. Children from the religious school were given a tour and demonstrations and today, August 17, at 11:30 a.m. Rabbi Harry Rosenfeld offered blessings and prayers and said Kaddish, along with Cantor Barbara Finn, and the ambulance was dedicated with the name "Mikhail." The high-tech ambulance was sponsored by Dr. Dean Rudoy, a long-time Congregation Albert congregant. Rudoy, 65, is a psychotherapist, teacher, consultant, researcher, and writer. He has a special interest in children and adolescents exposed to trauma. There is a very special story behind the name Mikhail, but first, some information about the ambulance. There will also be a blood drive at the temple on Sunday, Sept. 7, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. by United Blood Services, for distribution within New Mexico (blood cannot be transported internationally).
The history of ambulances in Israel
All of the ambulances in Israel, for the military and civilians, are supplied by the Magen David Adom, a non-governmental organization in Israel, which has a history going back to the 1930's. As depicted in the history on the American Friends of Magen David Adom website, AFMDA, after Arab attacks in deadly riots, emergency medical transports had to be fashioned on truck beds and seven Israeli doctors founded the organization in Tel Aviv. Over the years the organization, similar to the Red Cross, spread throughout the country and, "in 1940 concerned Americans founded Red Magen Dovid for Palestine" to raise funds "for upgraded medical supplies and blood services." Through what is now the American Friends of Magen David Adom, the ambulances are sponsored, built in Indiana and then shipped by boat from the Port of Baltimore across the Atlantic through the Straits of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean to the port of Ashdod in Israel. With 1200 ambulances in operation in Israel right now, staffed with emergency medical technicians, blood supplies, and support equipment, all are provided through this organization with major support from the AFMDA. A MICU costs $155,000.
The MICU, a bright yellow van-shaped ambulance, carries a defibrillator and advanced life-support, and initial operations can be done on an operating table inside to stabilize a patient. Most of the ambulances in Israel are white ambulances that provide basic and advanced support, but right now the MICUs are in demand. They have been brought close to the fighting this month along the Israeli-Gaza border. Erik Levis, of American Friends of Magen David Adam in New York, points out, "MICUs are not bullet-proof. They must therefore stay at a reasonably safe distance from zones of altercations." According to a news flash on the AFMDA website following the recent clashes, "IDF soldiers in Gaza (have) faced heavy opposition. MDA ambulances met Israeli helicopters inside Israel and evacuated the injured soldiers to hospitals and transported the bodies of the fallen as well."
In addition, there is cooperation between Magen David Adom and the Palestinian Red Crescent to transfer critically injured and other emergency patients from Gaza to hospitals and field hospitals in Israel. "One of the great untold stories is that cooperation," added Levis. This has often taken place with the coordinated assistance of the International Red Crescent and Red Cross, he said, given the security issues involved.
The story behind the dedication of the ambulance "Mikhail"
Paula Hollinger, Congregation Albert administrator, who with Rabbi Rosenfeld had met for lunch with Dr. Rudoy earlier in the summer to organize the details of the dedication, said about Rudoy, "He is a very thoughtful person, the kind of person who renews your faith in humankind. He's passionate about life, and understands, in order for there to be light, there have to be shadows. The conversation got very deep."
Rudoy wrote down the story behind his decision to sponsor the ambulance: "Following the passing of my parents several years ago, I began to search for someone the identity of whom I did not know." He began to search online in the files of Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. "I found branches of my family tree that had been severed by the brutality of the Nazis and their accomplices." After reading terrible stories of suffering, then, "I came upon the story of Mikhail Rudoy. In the autumn of 1941, Axis forces swept across Ukraine and on 19 September they captured and occupied the capital of Kiev. On 26 September, the military governor made the decision to exterminate the Jews of Kiev and the surrounding area. The Einsatzgruppe, the Nazi killing squads, were brought in to accomplish the task.
The order was posted throughout the city:
Kikes of the city of Kiev and vicinity ! On Monday, September 29, you are to appear by 08:00 a.m. with your possessions, money, documents, valuables, and warm clothing at Dorogozhitskaya Street, next to the Jewish cemetery. Failure to appear is punishable by death.
On that Monday, over 30,000 Jews of Kiev and surrounding villages gathered by the cemetery, expecting to be loaded on to trains for resettlement. The enormous crowd of men, women, and children could not have known what was to happen. They were marched to Babi Yar, a ravine just outside the city, and there, over a two-day period of uninterrupted executions, were murdered by a special team of German SS supported by other German units and local collaborators.
According to the Einsatzgruppe's Operational Situation Report—33,771 Jews from Kiev and its suburbs were systematically executed at Babi Yar on 29-30 September 1941—on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year—in what was to be the largest single massacre in the history of the Holocaust.
Amongst dozens of my relatives listed by Yad Vashem was Mikhail Rudoy, son of Beniamin and Freida. He was 17 years old, when he was murdered at Babi Yar. Reading of the death of this boy, I vowed to think of him every day for the rest of my life."
Rudoy goes on to relate how he chose to have his arm tattooed, in blue ink, in Hebrew, with Mikhail's name, and when the tattoo artist he had found, along old Route 66 in Albuquerque, asked what it meant, and he explained, the young man's eyes filled with tears, and he told Rudoy, as the story ends:
""I'm German. During the war, half of my family left Germany to get away from Hitler and the other half stayed and became complicit. This helps me to make amends."
We reached toward one another. I thought getting the tattoo would change my life.
What I didn't know was, that first, it would change another's.""
In having an ambulance built for the people of Israel, Rudoy says, "I can think of no more appropriate way to honor Mikhail than to save lives in his name."
An earlier version of this article first appeared in the August issue of The Link on page 8, Vol. 44, No. 7, as "Dr. Dean Rudoy sponsors an ambulance for Israel."

Statement of Faith
We affirm the Lausanne Covenant established at the International Congress on World Evangelization, Lausanne, Switzerland, July 1974. The following statement of faith is intended as a brief summary of what the Lausanne Covenant affirms more completely and expresses statements of faith historically held by eMi.
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only authoritative Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16)
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (I John 5:6-8)
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood. We believe in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His imminent and personal return in power and glory. (John 3:16; I Corinthians 15:3-4; I Peter 2:18-24)
4. We believe the Holy Spirit is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to those who believe. The Holy Spirit brings about the conviction of sin and the new birth, bears witness of our adoption, and is the power behind Christian growth and ministry. (Matthew 3:11; John 14:16-17; John 16:5-15; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4, 38-39; Acts 19:1-7; I Corinthians 12:7-11)
5. We believe that all people are lost and guilty of sin. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and people. Salvation is brought about, not by works, but by faith in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. (Romans 3:21-30; Galatians 4:4-7; Ephesians 2:8-9; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 22:20)
6. We believe in the resurrection of everyone, both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of life; and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:24, 28, 29)
7. We believe the Church is at the very center of God's cosmic purpose and represents the Body of Christ on earth (Matthew 28:19,20; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 3:9-11; I Corinthians 12:27)

Brook Lopez, Nets knock off short-handed Bulls
NEW YORK -- The Brooklyn Nets kept going deeper down their bench to find a winning combination. The Chicago Bulls simply had nowhere to go.
Brook Lopez scored 20 points through three quarters, then the Nets turned to their bench to beat the short-handed Bulls 93-89 on Friday night.
With most of their best players in street clothes, the Bulls' normally sturdy defense allowed the Nets to make 11 of 18 shots in the fourth quarter. Nine of the baskets were by reserves.
"It's huge, especially when a lot of our starters didn't have it going tonight," Nets guard Deron Williams said. "It was good that those guys came in and stepped up for us. Without them, we don't win this game."
Andray Blatche scored all 11 of his points in the fourth quarter and MarShon Brooks had nine of his 13 as the reserves scored the Nets' first 20 points. A starter didn't score until Joe Johnson's 3-pointer gave Brooklyn an 86-80 lead with 2 minutes to play.
"MarShon and Blatche, man, carried us in that fourth quarter," Johnson said.
Johnson finished with 13 points for the Nets, who bounced back from a loss to Miami on Wednesday by beating another top Eastern Conference team.
Luol Deng scored 18 points and Taj Gibson had 16 points and nine rebounds for the Bulls, who played without starters Joakim Noah, Carlos Boozer and Kirk Hinrich while losing for just the third time in 11 games.
"This is good for our team. It's all for the better come playoff time when we get everybody back and we're fully healthy, we feel like we've got a shot of winning the East," Gibson said.
Nate Robinson had 12 points and 11 assists but shot just 4 of 16 in place of Hinrich, who returned to Chicago to get his right elbow examined. Marco Belinelli scored 18 points and Jimmy Butler had 12 off Chicago's bench.
Noah had an undisclosed foot injury, though felt it wouldn't be a long-term problem, and Boozer was bothered by a sore right hamstring.
"I know it's hard to come back from, but I'm on it a lot earlier than I was last time," said Noah, who missed 18 games with plantar fasciitis during the 2009-10 season. "I think the difference was last time I just tried to keep fighting through it and keep fighting through it, and I'm just trying to be smart about it. I just know that if I would have kept playing on it, even just today, I would probably have been out for a lot longer."
The Bulls have been without Derrick Rose all season and are as good as anyone at playing without a full deck. They had a lead into the early fourth quarter before perhaps running out of gas as the deeper Nets surged by them.
Brooks' jumper gave the Nets the lead for good at 74-73 with 7:39 left and former Bulls backup C.J. Watson hit a 3-pointer before Blatche's basket made it 79-73 with 6:09 to go. Brooklyn stayed ahead from there, though Chicago got within two with 15 seconds left before Watson closed it out with two free throws.
Brooks has struggled to find consistent minutes this season. It didn't seem they would come Friday, with interim coach P.J. Carlesimo saying before the game that the Bulls were a bad matchup for the second-year guard.
"It felt great, it did," Brooks said. "I just try to stay ready and just be aggressive. I was out there in the fourth quarter, trying to make plays, man."
Even with Chicago's injuries, Carlesimo said going from the Heat on Wednesday to the Bulls on Friday was like "going for a root canal a couple of times in a week" because of how tough both teams make it to run an offense.
Notoriously cautious Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau termed Noah's ailment a "lower-body injury." Pressed further, Thibodeau simply said Noah was "nicked up."
The Bulls almost got by without the All-Star while playing with just eight players but had their two-game winning streak snapped.
The Nets jumped out to a 12-point lead in the first quarter, but Chicago battled back to take a 42-39 lead on Deng's 3-pointer with 51 seconds left in the first half, and the Bulls led by one at the break.
Williams had 11 points for the Nets. He limped off with an apparent ankle injury late in the half, but was back to start the third quarter. Gerald Wallace finished with 13 rebounds, including a tip-in with 32 seconds left that represented the other fourth-quarter basket by a starter.
Game notes
The Nets honored the 1 millionth guest to attend Barclays Center during a first-half timeout. Joined on the court by Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov and Barclays Center majority owner and developer Bruce Ratner, Allison Barlow of Brooklyn was awarded two free tickets for all Barclays events for a year. The $1 billion arena has been open 126 days, and Friday's game was its 86th ticketed event. They also celebrated the birthday of Mr. Whammy, the elderly fan who sits in the front row behind the basket and heckles opposing free throw shooters. He couldn't do much to faze the Bulls, who went 20 of 22 (91 percent) at the line.

Sam's Club Digi-Block Cube questions.
Hello all!
Just got one of the Sams Club black 2gb. Cubes. One thing I do not like is that the FM radio function is not present, nor is the custom EQ present. I did try to do a firmware update to the mobiblu latest firmware, but it just hung on the "searching for player" screen. I tried the reset as well, but no luck. Is there anyway to do a manual firmware upgrade? The specs on the Digi-Block player mention firmware updating, but their website as pretty much useless, and has no updates on it.
Still, $89 for a 2gb. cube isn't a bad deal, just would love the custom EQ.
|[Remove Advertisement]
Well, the cube went back yesterday. It basically is a stripped down version of the MobiBlu Cube. Has no FM radio, no custom EQ, no time function, and no SRS effects (even though it states on the box that it does). There seems to be no support for this player, and the website www.digiblock.com is quite worthless. Also, there was no way to change the screen brightness, and as it was, it was very dim. Not worth the hassle, so I saved $20 and got an RCA Opal that has a lot more features.
I had the Mobiblu 512K and now just purchased the 2G Digi-Block. I must say that the Mobiblu Cube was much quicker, it had a greater variety of functions available, seemed to transfer data much more quickly from the computer, and had a screen which was easier to see in the day. That said, since the Digi-Block was selling at Sam's Club for about $60, it was not a bad deal. It is a small and convenient way to carry songs and data, and listen to music. It also has the convenient headphone necklace which was on the Cube. In all, if I could find a 2G Cube with a $20 price difference, I would choose the Mobiblu Cube.
Sam's now has the digi block for about $40, but it just doesn't seem to work as advertised. When trying to sync with MS media player, it resets the cube everytime the sync starts. That kind of kills the sync. Moving mp3 files directly with windows explorer works fairly well (only resets once in a while). The sound is quite good and the features are great for a $40 2 gb player, but the included earbuds had one bad bud. Bottom line...back to Sam's it goes.
does anyone still have the software that came with the digi-block?
I seem to have lost it, and my digi-block is now dead
Sam's has once again reduced the price to $20.00, at least in the NE PA region. Features or no features, $20 for a 2gb MP3 player is a deal and a half. If all you want to do is listen to music...why not...it's only $20.
New here.
I am computer challenged !!!!
So... I had my teen age daughter help me and when she couldnt do it well now i turn to you....
I bought the cube mp3 player from Sams club... I have a Mac OSX
I dont know if my computer isint compatible or were doing something wrong
But after loading the disk... we got nothing.... Can anyone help?????
or should I just take it back?????
Digi-Block Firmware Update
Anyway, I managed to mess up one of the two . The USB cable came loose while writing files to it. Its file system got messed up enough that Device Manager flip flops between recognizing it and not, so there isn't even a drive or device I can format. Just like the MobiBLU cubes, this cube is capable of going into "Rescue Mode" by attaching it to a PC via the USB cable, holding down the play button and poking the reset button for about 5 seconds. After releasing the reset button, the play button has to be depressed until the unit boots. The PC will then recognize it as either an STMP3500 (a common chip used in MP3 players) or a Player Recovery Device.
Obviously, I need the Digi-Block firmware update disk, which did not come with the unit. The CD just contained Windows drivers (which aren't needed for XP at all). The digiblock.net site is useless, and has no links to the firmware. Just a question for this forum, did anyone actually get the update program with their cube? The Digi-Block website seems to imply that it should have come on the CD. I'll probably call the 800 number on Monday to ask about the program. Someone actually answered the phone immediately on a Saturday, but he said the office was closed on weekends.
In the meantime, I tried loading the MobiBLU Cubisto firmware into the unit (available on the MobiBLU site). The block is now recognized as a Cubisto, and I can drag files into it on the PC, but the display stays blank, and the buttons don't work. I was hoping it would work, but I guess there are enough hardware differences. Oh well.
Anyway, if anyone knows where to get the real Digi-Block firmware, please post.
Sorry for the long post, but there should enough keywords in here for the right people to find it on the search engines.

Digi-Block MTP on MAC
New here too, but I am a Windows and Linux user. The Digi-Block I just purchased works as an "MTP" device, and not the "Mass Storage" (i.e. like a disk drive) device as stated in the User's Manual. Had it been a mass storage device, MAC OSX would have seen it without additional software. On Windows XP with Media Player 10 installed, the MTP device appears in Explorer so you can drag files into it and out of it.
I'm not a MAC user, but this Wikipedia Article says that MTP is not supported natively on MAC OSX. There is a free program called XNJB for MACs available here that should allow you to drag files to the cube. Again, not a MAC user, so I wouldn't be much more help. If it is too much effort to make it work, I'd recommend just taking it back to the store.

How do you change from one directory to another. It plays fine but can"t seem to get it to play what I want. William
Digi-Block quick review plus long winded info post
Another new member here - just want to share what I can at this point...
I found the Block at Sams around Christmas time and couldn't pass it up at 20 bucks. I got 2 for myself - one to use one to hack... Being a hardware guy I'm the worst kind of gadget freak when it's cheap or out of warranty!
My quick review -
If you can find one for 20 dollars like I did you will probably be quite happy with it and able to live with it's quirks. It plays great so far and all who have seen and heard it were really impressed! remember - I only paid 20 bucks... And I'd do it again!
Now the long winded info part... good bad other
If you care to, please read my observations and thoughts in rambling order - future posts if any should be shorter, questions welcome, will help if able, YMMV.
My observations with XP include:
On its first connection to XP it was recognized as a mass storage device then later as an MTP Player (I guess XP "fixed" it for me while I was away) The included USB drivers were not needed and the CD appears to only include USB drivers and the files needed to install them - no update or configuration software as far as I could tell. After dumping some files on the block I could not delete one with "read only" attributes and ended up formatting the block. It seems XP has some issues accessing the block as a "normal" USB storage device. When I create a "new folder" in the block I can't rename it so I create my folders, do naming, organizing or any other file "adjustments" on my PC - then copy them to the block. If I want to change something I do it (on the PC) then copy over the old file or folder. I'm no Win Guru so maybe the issues I have are easy to resolve or just for my PC. I found ways to deal with it so I'm good for now. Just be sure to (as always) back up your stuff before you format... shouldn't be a problem if you only copy.
Mac iBook with OS X 10.4.11
The block shows up on the desktop as a drive called "NO NAME" and I have (it appears) full access to do whatever I want to the files and file structure on the block. It's my understanding that the Mac OS is UNIX based which may explain this. It seems to be more compatible with the blocks file system. I did not have to update or install any patch, software or driver to use it with the Mac. Plug and Play? imagine that!
Personally I have enjoyed my "Block" so far despite seeming somewhat XP unfriendly (compared to the Mac OS) It does appear to be a lesser version of the MobiBlu stuff (probably made by the same manufacturer) but hey! $20.00 is not bad for a USB device that can also play mp3s and does a good job of it in my opinion. As far as using any of the MobiBlu software on it? I haven't tried it myself - but I'm looking for the software - and I won't rush into it.
I have seen 4 to 5 hours play on a charge using external speakers - there may be more load on the battery with headphones (impedance thing) but that needs more investigation.
The headphones are kinda cheesy but functional with the neck strap and dongle thingy. I use external speakers or an FM modulator for now.
I saw a complaint "you can't listen while it's plugged into the charger or computer" True but come on... at 1 inch cubed there's a real estate premium here. I like the jack is not some unique weird doodad that could never be replaced if it's lost and out of production.
Yup, it's a bit tricky using the menus to navigate but it works - read the manual and play with the buttons - it does work!
It seems to always start from the "beginning" after a shutdown for any reason - I haven't seen it pick up where it left off yet except from a pause. Was that in the manual?
I can sometimes crash it if I menu around while it is playing - it has always come back on and started again (from the beginning) so far. Seems best to pause it before browsing around - I bet it's working as hard as it can most of the time it's playing so it's no real surprise to me.
Agreed - the http://www.digiblock.net/ is pretty useless and MobiBlu http://web.mac.com/mobiblu/Site/MobiBLU.html is no help either at this point.
And yes it is hard to see the display in bright light.
I intend to hack the block to the extent I'm able - First mod? Add an audio jack to the charger so I can play while charging. That looks like an easy job but the little switching charger may also be a big noise generator. Probably not an option when in transfer mode since the play function goes away while "ready" or "writting" Details at 11...
yeah, I bought the cube today for $20. It doesn't work, at all. It only blinks MP3 PLAYER over and over. I reset it, I installed those drivers, my computer won't recognize it at all. I really don't won't to take to the store, but there isn't much else I can do. The website told me to upgrade the firmware, again none. There was an email for support that sends back an email saying it doesn't exist. What am I supposed to do with it?
Im also having bad times with digiblock's cube mp3 player.
I've ordered one through ebay, and it showed the display properly for the first time. I connected to my pc running XP, it recognized as mass storage drive.
I dragged some files into the drive, but my bad I'm so impatient with the file transfer time and I cancelled the copy!. The real problem started when I disconnected the player. I wish, i'ld not done that!
Later then, I tried to connect to PC but the player is not at all recognized.
I've verified the manual, the site and at last called the support. I disappointed a lot when the support guys told that the product is out dated and there is no firmware available!. Now the player is a piece of junk sitting on my desk.
Well I've taken this as challenge and began to search in google, to fix the firmware. I believe resetting the firmware would make the player work again. All we need is a correct version of firmware.
This site pointed me to some korean site
And this is the Korean site where I found the similar (I believe) product, which is referred with name "Cubisto"
This site is in Korean language, you'ld find three sub menus
The first one(the default) lists the software that can be used for updating the firmware.
The second submenu is some thing unknown to me, and I never tried.
The third submenu lists a pdf manual. Gosh, the manual is in Korean language, but this manual resembles exactly the english manual which i got with the player. This made be to believe that I found the firmware updater software.
Well I found the firmware updater software, but Its not recognizing the player!!
Hope this software can help u guys.
I took lot of care in writing my comments, im not good at english pl excuse me.
Cheap for 2GB
Got one shipped to me from Sam's auction site for a grand total of $13.55 (price plus shipping). Plugged it in to my laptop running Vista and it popped open a folder. Loaded in a few hundred songs (a bit slowly) in two folders and it's playing them now and it wasn't hard to switch folders. Can't complain yet. Can't get many MickyD's meals for that price. One mystery is it came with a device not connected to anything that is a clasped tubular shaped black plastic shell with a black material inside that appears to be something like what in electronics is called a "choke" and I'm not sure where it should be used. It looks like it would fit over the USB cord. Any confirmation on that?
hi, i also have problem with my digi-block, my computer and other computer don't recognize it, it charging up on my usb but i cant transfer files because it wasn't recognized. i dont have a cd driver, anyone here has the driver, please send it to me or anyone here knows where i can get it?! Thanks!
Thanx a lot!

Gd. -p~d. po.t free. THE jfrtt ~rt5b!'ttrtan fMaga~tnt , . and MONTHLY RECORD. VOL. XLX. March, 1946. No. 11. , The Trials of a Gospel Minister. By the Rev. J. C. PHILPOT, M.A. think sometimes how highly favoured ministers are j they view them almost as if they were angels, and were poss.essed of a faith far beyond the generality of believers. But if they could see them as they see and feel themselves, they would find that they are men of like passions with themselves, and often in their feelings sunk down lower than many of their hearers j more tried and exercised, more assailed with temptation, and, but for God's grace, morc prone to fall. In fact, it must be so. lt is necessary that those who stand up to preach to the hearts of others should have a deep acquaintance with their own j that those who have to preach trials ani! exercises should be well acquainted with what the~' speak; and that those who set forth the Lord Jesus Christ should know something experimentally of His beauty ani! blessedness, grace and glory. Unle'ss ministers are well exercised in their own minds, they are pretty sure to drop into the spirit of the world, and to depart in their feelings trom the life and power of vital godliness. We must be in a thing that we may speak feelingly of it. You can now tell what a father feels when a son leaves his house for a foreign land; and those who have to pass through a similar experience will at once know tlult you were in it. So, therefore, unless a minister be feelingly in the things of God by a daily experi.ence, he cannot speak of them with any life, power 01' freshnesli. The life of God must be kept up in the soul, or he cannot be a breast of consolation to the family of God. Now, this sometimes makes us vel')" rebellious, that we should have to go through so many trials and temptations to be able to speak a word in season to others. We naturally love a smooth and easy path, and would almost sooner for,ego the blessing than get it in God's way. But He gives us no choice in the matter j for He leads the blind by a way that they know not. Few days, I think I may say, pass over my llead without briILging trials and ex.ercises in their train. Weak health, dejected spirits, opposition from without and from within, and, above all, darkness of mind" strong temptations, snares spread for my feet, a daily sense of backsliding and depar"ting from the living God, a continual conflict with the horrid evils of my desperately wicked and depraved nature; all combine, more or PEOPLE L 202 Free Presbyterian Jl[a.gazi'ne. less, to bring a daily exercise into my mind. And yet I would fain hope that these painful things are for my spiritual profit. I would fain hope that by them the Lord is showing me more and more what I am in myself, and that the things of time and sense are but a shadow that is passing away. I feel, too, the spirit of prayer stirred up by them in my bosom, and my heart's affections more drawn up to centre in the Lord Himself. And I would fain hope, too, that these trials and exercises are not only for my own spiritual profit but that they are mercifully over-ruled for the good of the people of God among whom I may labour. I am IweU c10nvinced both in my judgment and in my conscience that, however my coward flesh may shrink from exercises and trials, an unexel'cised and untried ministel' is rather a plague than a profit, a bu~den more than a benefit to God's tried and tempted family. But what a mercy it is fO!' us, that when we come to the Word of God, we find that the blessed Spirit there sets forth trial, temptation, and exercise as the footsteps of the flock, as the path of the redeemed, as the way in which the Lord leads His beloved .church and people. Above all, what a mercy it is for the Church of God that there is one book especially in the inspired record, I mean, the Book of Psalms, that sets forth so minutely, describes so accurately, and traces out so vividly, the exercises, trials, and temptations which the Lord's people have to pass through; so that therein, as the Lord the Spirit enables, they can read their spiritual features, and have from time to time some testimony from God Himself, that they are watking in a right way, though it be a rugged way, « to a tity of habitation." "Brethren, pray for us." God's Golden Grain Gathered. WE ean, in a measure at least, understand the feelings of anxiety and sorrow which the patriarch Jacob had, when he uttered the following words, "Me have ye bereaved of my children, Joseph is not and Simeon is not, and ye will !take Benjamin away; all these things are against me." He was addressing his sons, and he was remembering that dark day when they had given him the blood·stained coat of many colours, which appeared evid~nce enough of the loss of his much-loved J·oseph. Benjamin was now the consolation and hope of his old age, and the thought of parting from him made Jacob feel tllat the burden of this sorrow would weigh him down to thEl grave. How hard Jacob found it to reconcile the promise of God made to his fathers, Abraham and lsaac, with th;e providences which followed, and which he now was concluding were all against him. He was seeing th~ pattern from the underside, a mass, as it were, of tangled ends, and a confusion of strange colours. However, he had not seen ALL the pattern; he had not seen Joseph being cast into the pit, nor into the prison. He had not known his rise and pro,gTcss in the house of Pharoah, nor the purpose of God in setting him over the abounding store·houses in the land of Egypt. He did not now see that his parting from Benjamin was the only un forged link in the wonderful chain of providences, whieh was ultimately to re-unite him with his long-lost son. lt is beyond question that the pattern of God had another side; and though the aged saint could not fully understand, there was here given Goil's G

(Ri leant~binn.) London F.P. Communion Services. C01nrwwniO?~ Servioes.-Free Presbyterian Church of Scotlanc1, Eccleston Street, Buckingham Palace Road, London, S;W.l. In connection with the dispensation of the Lord's Supper on Sabbath, 21st April, the following Services have been arranged (D.V.) to be GleanM~U$ -------- by the Way. 215 conducted by the Rev. D. M. MacDonald, Portree and the Rev. D. Campbell, Raasay: -Thursday, 18th April, 7 p.m.; Friday, 19th April, 3.30 p.m. (Gaelic), 7 p.m. (Fellows-hip Meeting); Saturday, 20th April, 3.30 p.m. and 6.30 p.m.; Sllibbath, 21st April, 11 a.m., 3.45 p.m. (Gaelic) and 7 p.m.; M'.onday, 22nd April, 3.30 p.m. (Gaelic) and 7 p.m. ,serviees are hel:d every Sabbath at 11 a.m., 3.45 p.m. (Gaelic) and 7 p.m. Weekly Prayer-meeting, Wednesday, 7 p.m. Gleanin.gs by the Way. The late Rev. Neil Camel'on, in his declining years, was at a communion in the West Highlands on one occasion. While there he met a sympathetic old man and he advised him strongly not to do too much preaching as it was too much for a man of his yeal·s. They were passing beside one of the old man's :fields when this conversation was going on. At the side of the field Mr. Cameron noticed a plough. He asked the old man which was better for the plough, to be working with· it or to be standing idle as it was now. The old man exclaimed, "The rust, the rust I" "Well," said Mr. Oameron, "that is the way with me, the rust is worse for me than any fatigue fl'om my labours in the Lord's vineyard." Some don't mind the rust.-Ll. B. Getting Sweetel' and SW!eeter.-The late Rev. D. Macfarlane, Din.g:wall, in a discourse ie referring to the Cup given by the Father, remarked that it was getting more and more bitter until Christ drained the dregs. When the Saviour gave the Cup of Salvation it was getting sweeter and sweeter until they shall drilnk it in all its sweetness in heaven for ever. On another occasion he said: "As the morning of the resurrection dawns ChriBt will say to his people what a mother says to her children: , Children! It is time to rise, the Day is dawning '-the Day that will know no night throughout eternity."-D. B. Restrai'llling: Graoe.-Rev. N. Cameron, on one occasion, returning thanks at food happened to mention "restraining grace." He hesitated for a second and then solemnly said: "Wonderful though that grace be there is a day coming when it will be withdrawn and the sinner will be seen as he is." The late Mr. Murdo MacAskill, Glendale. IT is with sincere regret that we record the passing away of another of our elders in the person of Mr. Murdo MacAskill, Glendale, who was well known to many of our people. Mr. MacAskill, who had reached two years over the allotted span, was born at Kyles Scalpay, Barris, and was the son of Peter MacAskill, for many years an elder in our· congregation there. A notice of Peter MacAskill appears in the Free Presbyterian Mtl.gazine for June, 1906, and is there described as "perhaps one of the most wonderful trophies of grace jn the present age." It is said of him tllat in speakin;g in public he " seldom concluded without strongly appealing to the careless, and especially to the young, to seek and make sure for 216 Free Pre1Jby;te!'ilQ,n Magazin,e. eternity." Thus we see that Murdo MacAskill had a privilege wllich few in our dark age have, for we may be Sure that in his home ,he was well instructed in the Word of God, but our friend, though outwardly orderly, grew up like the rest of Adam's race without God and without hope in the' world until God's appointed time. . After leaving school he served in a shop in Stornoway for some time, 'and then went out to the Falkland Islands, where he continued for a number of years giving faithful service to his employer. A notable proof of the confidence which his employer placed in him is afforded in the fact that, after coming back to this country, that employer often approached him to recommend to him young men to .go out there as shepherds. Over forty years ago he came to Glendale and set up a ,general merchant's business, and shortly afterwards married Miss Alexandrina Macfarlane, who pToved a true help·meet to him till death Temoved h€l', less than two years before himself. This was a blow from which he never recovered. We aro not in a position to say when, ,or by what means the Holy Spirit brought him' from a state of nature to a state of grace, as he was regular .in his atteiulance on the public means from the time he came to Glenda.le, and he himself was very reticent to speak of his experiences, but that he was savingly changed no one who knew him intimately could question. He became a member' in full communion in 1909< and was elepted a deacon in 1911, and ordained an elder in 1921. Such was the confidence which the elders in the congregation reposed in him that he was employed t" conduct the services in Glendale, during a protracted vacancy, and long befol"ie he was an elder himself. Bein.g possessed of a ready gift of speech, and an accurate and extensive knowledge of the Word of God, he was a very acceptable speaker. In 1934 hie was appointed by the Church as missionary for Waternish and Glendale, and he served both parts of the congregation diligently and faithfully, and at times in very poor health. The writer, who had the privilege of knowing him intimately, could see that he was not a stranger to the temptations of Satan, but could say with the Apostle, "w'e are not ignorant of his devices." Often we have known him being cast down for days, and not inclined to converSi ,on any subject, and on account of how reticent he was to speak of his trials it was difficult to say anything by way of giving encoura.gement. Sometimes, when in that condition, a passage from the Scriptures quoted to him would cause him to brighten up, and if in that way hts bonds were loosed his conversation would become very edifying. We think, however, it was in prayer that he 'excelled. At times, when called upon in the prayer-meeting, it would be noticed that he was in bondage, and ,one felt that he was struggling with something which he was findirr.g impossible to get rid of, but when liberty came, whatever weariness tlie iiJost part of the 'prayer lnight occasion was soon forgotten. His heart was in the Cause of Christ, and he had an open door for the Lord's people. This was to be s'een at communion seasons, when he and his like-minded partner would have the house literally full, and strangers coming from a distance and returning after the evening servi~e would be sure of a hearty invitation to partake of their hospItality between the services. Those who accepted of these invitations haye pleasant memori.es of the kindness which they received. The late Mr. Donald Maorae, Elder, In,verness. --------- - - --- 217 Though he never ,got over his wife's dJeath, which was rather sudden, it .was in July, 1944, that alarming symptoms began to appear. Previous to this he went to Edinburgh for medical advice but his condition was not considered serious. After l'eturning from Edinburgh he began to suffer severe pains which continued with little or no relief to the end. In January, 1945, he was removed to the Northern Infirmary, Inverness, in the hope that something could be done for him, but it .was not to be. His time had come, and we believe that he was prepar:ed. On account of the severe pain, he was not able to converse much /during his last illnjess, but it was noticed that he was continually in prayer, showing clearly that his affections were not on this world. Often, when oblivious to everything around him, he was heard repeating, "Happy art thou,. 0 Israel: who is like unto thee, 0 people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places." He passed away from this world of sorrow on 21st February, 1945, and the following Saturday all that was mortal of him was laid in the Glendale grave-yard to await the trump of arch-angel. '1'he large concourse of people who gathered to his funeral from many parts of Skye showed the esteem in which he was held. We would express our deepest sympathy with each member of his family, with his sisters and only surviving brother, and would pray that they would know Christ as their own personal Saviour.--J.C. The late Mr. Donald Macrae, Elder, Inverness. By Mr. F. BEAT ON. 'THE late Donald Macrae was a Christian indeed. Of a happy and courteous disposition, which won him a welcome wherever he went, he had ~ deep experimental knowledge of the doctrines of grace, and ever stood nrm as a rock on the side of truth in the time of trial. He was born at Aultgrishan, Gairloch, on the 7th August, 1862, being the son of J aim Macrae, and his wife, Mary Macdonald. His mother was noted for her godliness, and he was llighly priviLeged in having a place in her prayers, seeing her example, and receiving her instruction. To her he was very strongly attached. He left home at an early age, and engaged in farm-work at Humberston, Dingwall. He was a hearer of Dr. Kennedy, but had not then the understanding heart. While still under the age of twenty years, he went to .8trathdearn, where he worked as a ploughman on several farms. D.uring this period he sat under, and greatly profited by, the ministry of the late Rev. D. Macfarlane, for whom he had a life-lon,g regard. While engaged at his lawful calling there, he came under conviction of sin, and also experienced the liberty wherewith Christ makes sinners free. He and another ploughman were ploughing on the farm of Inverine, when these words were spoken with power into his heart: "Two men sha~~ be !in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left" J!,uke xvii. 36. Instantly his bands were untied-light and liberty entered hls soul, and he rejoiced in the Lord and in his salvation. The solemn • 218 Free Presvy,terian Magazw. ----'-------- distinction maae in the foregoing sCI'ipture between the case of the two men induced Donald to follow carefully his companion's career, but to the day of his death, his companion gave no indication of concern for his soul's salvation. Donald had many precious and pithy notes to tell of Rev. D. Macfarlane's preaching of this period, and of how beneficial it proved to himself. Again and a,gain as he listened, his difficulties were described and removed. On one such occasion when quite singular points in his case were most minutely dealt with so that he could not doubt but that the application was to himself, the preacher concluded by saying: "If you will come before the Session we shall receive you into the fellowship,"-but he failed to go forward,-to his loss. He entered at this period upon apprenticeship as gardener at Moyhall. The head·gardener, Mr. Rhind, was a godly man who held prayer-meetings. Donald enjoyed and profited by Ius fellowship. Wllell he died his ungodly son was appointed to his post. He would have Donald do what was not work of necessity on Sabbath. Donald refused and gave up his employment rather than transgress the fourth commandment. He went to Edinburgh and thence to the Vice-l.eg'al Lodge gardens in Dublin. There he visited many churches and heard another gospel, not the gospel of Christ. At last he heard in a Baptist Church, "the joyful sound." He would however, have the matter settled by the Great Shepherd of the sheep, who says, "Prove ne." This he would reverently do. So he prayed that if the minister was one of Christ's own messengers sent forth to feed the flock, He would condescend to guide the minister to come to speak to, and shake hands with him next Sabbath. On Sabbath Donald was on the watch-tower to see how the Lord would deal with him. He went early to Churcll and sat in the back seat. That day, the minister, too, arrived early. He did. not enter the vestry as usual but came to the main door, entered, went direct to Donald, spoke kindly to him and warmly shook hands with him. Thus the requested token was given. After a time Donald's health broke down and he came home. Next he went to an Inverness nursery. It was now 1893. When in that year Rev. D. Macfarlane separated himself by protest, tabled at the Assembly, from the Declaratory Act Free Church on account of its casting out the doctrine of God's sovereign choice of sinners in Christ, to salvation, before the world began, as revealed in the Scriptures and contained in the Confession of Faith-a casting out which, at that time, was reaffirmed with the express declaration that it bound the whole Church-he, too, separated and joined those who then set about organising the Free Presbyterian Church. That same year he got employment at Linlithgow. In 1894 he married and a f,ew months later went to Falkirk but found no .gospel there. "The Canaanite was then in the land." He now came north to Allan of Fearn where he had the joy of joining in worship with Free Presbyterians. Her,e he was received into full clmrch membership. After six years he removed to Tain and then to Borrobol where he remained fifteen years. As this place is isolated, he stipulated when engaging with his employer, that he be set free each third week-end to travel to Halkirk or Helmsdale on Saturday for Sabbath public worship, r·eturning on MOJ1,day morning, and that he be free to attend the services at three ACk~lei1Jgrme'(l,t of Do-nati0'n8. 219 communion seasons each year. 'l'hese privileges he highly valued. At this time he was elected to the elder's office in the Halkirk congregation. His next removal was to Din,gwall where he again came under the edifying ministry of Rev. D. Macfarlane. At the heights of Fodderty, where, for a short time he occupied a croft, a daughter, Mary, and a son, Alexander, died. In 1926 he removed to Inverness where another son, Murdo, died in the hope of a blessed immortality. Donald Macrae discharged the duties of his office conscientiously and throughout the troubles through which our Church has been passing in rOOlEmt years he stood true and steadfast, assured that what he stood for was based on the truth, and firmly held according to truth, will stand against all opposition. In his last illness his hope shone unclouded to the end. A fortnight before his death he said to his son, John, "I am going to leave you." Whlen asked where he was Igoing he answered, "To eternity; I gave you a hint of that a week ago." Later, he said, "A stranger is coming to the house." To the query who it was, he replied, "Death." Two friends visited him and one of thlemsaid, " You will soon, Donald, be where there is no sickness or trouble." "Yes, and that will be better," was his answer. 'l'wo days later he was given the Scripture, "Arie they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation" (Heb. ii. 14). He passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 29th, 1945. The above is Mr. F. Beaton's adequate account of this worthy elder of the Inverness F.P. Church congregation. He was leminently a man of prayer, and gave no uncertain sound when occasion arose to speak out in days of trouble. His remains were conveyed to the graveyard of his native parish to rest there until the heavens be no more. 'We sympathise with his liereaved widow, who is now, for the main part, an invalid, but is like-minded in the things of the Spirit of God with our late friend. We sympathise with his son and daughter. May they be found loving, and walking in, the footsteps of their God-fearing parents!-D. A. MacfMlane. Acknowledgment of Donations. lfr. J.

Ask Jeeves Inc. is to unveil a automated paid listing service today called Ask Jeeves Sponsored Listings that allows advertisers to place bids for advertisements on its network.
Google is the primary way most advertisers currently appear at Ask Jeeves. Those buying ads on Google also automatically show up at Ask Jeeves and other Ask-owned properties through a partnership that began in September 2002, unless an advertiser specifically chooses to opt-out of the Google Network to run ads only on Google's own sites.
Till now about a third of its revenue used to come from its partnership with search giant google, which would last till 2007. In addition to its own Web sites, Ask Jeeves plans to offer its ads to others. Its network is small, but Speer said he intends to expand it, potentially to sister sites in the IAC/InterActiveCorp. family, which includes dating site Match.com, Citysearch online city guides and Ticketmaster.
The expansion heralds a new era for Ask Jeeves, a 9-year-old company that survived the dot-com bust to be acquired for $2.3 billion by InterActiveCorp in a deal completed just a fortnight back.
New York-based IAC is controlled by iconoclastic media mogul Barry Diller, who defied skeptics nearly 20 years ago when he orchestrated the successful launch of a fourth broadcast television network at Fox.
