Anthony Stewart made sure of victory eight minutes from time when he headed in Sam Wood's cross.

The "Ponytail Palm tree" is really not a palm at all. It is a member of the Lilaceae (lily family), and is known by several names.
It has earned the name "elephant's foot" because of its bulbous base. Because of its base and thin trunk have some people call it a bottle palm.
Native to the desert of Mexico it is somewhat of a curious landscaping plant outdoors on the patio or indoors.
A sturdy plant can be used as a single specimen usually in containers 14 inches or larger, or planted in several 6- to 10-inch pots to appear more bushlike.
Single specimens, range in height from 6 to 18 feet tall.
What makes the "Pony tail plant" unique is its large base and head of pendulous, smooth-edged flat leaves, There are NO TWO specimens alike.
Look Native For Pony Tail Care – Watering and Lighting
Ponytail's are native to the dry Mexican climate, this habitat allows it to survive interior winter heat very well.
However, the ponytail plant does not like too frequent waterings.
Never allow water to sit in the bottom of the saucer or pot. An interesting fact is that Nolina recurvata stores its water in its base.
A sandy-mix soil generally minimize the probability of root rot, especially compared to the peaty mixes normally used in most tropicals.
Specifically, allow the soil to dry out well between waterings, and if you have any doubt on whether or not to water the plant, skip it until the next week.
Dry, brown foliage, a shriveled stem or desiccated roots are usually signs of underwatering.
If you are overwatering, we normally see light new growth, stem rot or root rot will appear.
Light requirements for ponytails are pretty easy to remember if you think of where it is native to – the Mexico desert landscape.
Provide bright indirect light to full sun.
Any window space indoors particularly one facing north will suit the light requirements of this high-light plant. For optimum performance, however, full sun is best.
Pony Tail Insect Free
Generally, the ponytail is insect free, but on occasion does attract mealybugs, spider mites and scale.
Nolina recurvata – the "Ponytail Palm" is a plant to enjoy.
You just provide plenty of light and water it less frequently than you think necessary, and this plant will add a unique beauty wherever your use it.
Ponytail Palms for an Interesting Garden
Most plants are grown for their flowers. Some are loved because of their foliage.
But the ponytail is popular for its desirable trunk, in addition to its foliage. The Ponytail Palm is treasured by many people primarily because of its bottle-shaped trunk.
Generally, the Ponytail Palm plant has a flat and fleshy bottle-shaped trunk topped with strappy green leaves.
But, actually, the plant has almost no trunk at all when it is still young.
At this stage, the trunk looks like enlarged onion bulb with ribbon-like leaves emerging at its top curling downward.
As the plant matures, the trunk becomes thicker and its base gets swollen until it looks more like a bottle or an elephant's foot.
The plant can have several branches towards the top when it grows a few years more.
When grown outdoors, Ponytail Palms can reach a height of up to 16 feet or more.
Ponytail palms produce flower stalks, consist of clusters of small beige blossoms, when grown outdoors.

Since 1950, self-employed individuals have been covered by the Social Security system. In many regards, their obligation to pay Self-Employment Contributions Act (SECA) taxes into the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) and Hospital Insurance (HI) trust funds and their entitlement to Social Security and Medicare benefits parallel those of workers who are not self-employed and who thus are covered under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA). In both cases, the OASDI tax base is limited to income below a certain threshold, and the HI tax base is not constrained by any income ceiling.
The two systems, however, diverge in an important way. The FICA tax is based solely on income from labor—that is, wages. The SECA tax, in contrast, is based on net business income, which includes compensation for the owner's labor, but can also include income from capital—that is, the business' profits. (For people who are not self-employed, capital income includes interest, dividends, rents, and capital gains.) Moreover, the SECA tax base ends up excluding more than half of the labor income of self-employed people. Such differences in tax treatment among businesses providing the same goods and services may prompt people to make choices that they would not otherwise make about self-employment or the organizational form of a business, thereby reducing the efficient allocation of resources.
In The Taxation of Capital and Labor Through the Self-Employment Tax, CBO decomposes the SECA tax base into its labor and capital components and analyzes three approaches that would modify the SECA tax base. (A printer-friendly version of the full report provides the information summarized here.)
CBO estimates that almost 70 percent of self-employment income subject to the SECA tax was received by sole proprietors. Another quarter was received by owners of partnerships (including limited liability companies). The remaining income could not be linked to a type of entity in CBO's analysis.
Between 2001 and 2004, those shares did not change, but the breakdown by type of partnership changed significantly. In 2001, the share of partnership income accounted for by general and limited partnerships—the types mentioned in the Social Security laws—dropped from 49 percent to 30 percent. The rest came from limited liability companies and limited liability partnerships. Because those types of entities are not mentioned in the Social Security laws, there has been controversy over how much of their income is subject to the SECA tax.
CBO decomposed the SECA tax bases for HI and OASDI into their labor and capital components. CBO estimated the labor income for self-employed workers using an assessment of their reasonable compensation—an amount that should bear some resemblance to the market wage for their services. All other positive net income was attributed to capital.
CBO estimates that 42 percent of the SECA-HI tax base derives from capital, and the remainder derives from labor (see the figure). The FICA tax base, in contrast, derives entirely from labor.
Not only does the SECA tax capture a significant amount of capital income, but more than half of the labor income of self-employed people (56 percent) is not included in the SECA-HI tax base. If the businesses were incorporated, virtually all of that labor income would be considered taxable under FICA.
With both the taxed capital income and the excluded labor income accounted for, the total SECA-HI tax base is roughly three-quarters of the amount of income that would be taxable under the FICA-HI rules.
CBO analyzed three approaches that would modify the SECA tax base by either reducing the share of capital income or increasing the share of labor income it includes. Those options are as follows:

Sign Michelle Obama's birthday card for $15. No.
Michelle Obama has the appearance of being a fine first lady, which she probably is. In fact, there are occasions when she demonstrates maturity and sensitivity that is far beyond that of her husband. Case in point is when Barack made selfie photos of himself and dignitaries at Nelson Mandela's solemn funeral. That really irritated Michelle and she showed it.
Michelle Obama has helped the President in the past by appealing for and raising funds on her own merit and appeal as much as the President's. She may emerge from the shadow of Barack one day as did Hillary Clinton, to show that she is her own person and has much to offer the world aside from being a good Mother and first lady.
Confessing that I am a founding member of the Obama for Action organization, I did so because that is the primary advocacy for the middle class and poor Americans. It would be better at this point if the organization was called "Democrats for Action" as that would have more inclusive appeal.
A second term president who has demonstrated a share of incompetence and mistakes doesn't have the coattails of a more successful president.
So, pushing the button to sign Michelle's card may make OFA happy, but will Michelle give a hoot?
Maybe they should think about a Michelle for Action organization, I don't know?
Click the url and see what happens. Go ahead, I dare you.

Before you eat any meat, read about this recall first. Almost 9 million pounds of meat from a Northern California company have been recalled because they came from "diseased and unsound" animals that weren't properly inspected, the FSIS announced Saturday.
The recall affecting Rancho Feeding Corporation is an expansion of a previous recall announced January 13, when just over 40,000 pounds of the company's products were recalled.
According to the U.S. agency, Rancho Feeding "processed diseased and unsound animals and carried out these activities without the benefit or full benefit of federal inspection. Thus, the products are adulterated, because they are unsound, unwholesome or otherwise are unfit for human food and must be removed from commerce," the FSIS reported.
There are no reported illnesses as of yet. The products went to distribution centers and retail establishments in California, Florida, Illinois and Texas. It's not clear which companies got them, or whether they ended up being sold in some form at any markets or restaurants.
The FSIS recall says there's a "reasonable probability" that consumption could result in "serious, adverse health consequences or death."
A wide range of products are listed in the recall, including beef carcasses and various parts such as heads, cheeks, lips, livers, feet and tongues in boxes of 20 pounds and bigger. Forty-pound boxes of veal bones and 60-pound boxes of veal trim are included as well.
All of these were produced and shipped between January 1, 2013, through January 7, 2014. They all have "EST. 527" in the USDA mark of inspection and have a case code number ending in 3 or 4.

Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz today chaired the regular weekly meeting of the Council of Ministers, and briefed the Cabinet on his recent visits to the Republic of France and the United States of America, praising the depth of understanding shown by the leaders and officials of both countries, and the atmosphere of frankness, clarity and transparency that prevailed during the meetings and talks. The Crown Prince also briefed the Cabinet on his subsequent visits to Morocco, Egypt, Syria and Jordan during which he clarified the Kingdom's position on international developments, its defense of Arab and Islamic issues and its support for security, stability in the region in the interests of worldwide security, peace and understanding among peoples. The Crown Prince said they were appreciative of the efforts of Saudi Arabia to enhance stability in the region and to extend bridges of cooperation with various countries in this regard.
Commenting on today's opening in Brazil of the Arab-South American Summit, the Cabinet noted the high priority the Kingdom accords its relations with the friendly countries in Latin America.
The Cabinet affirmed that the continued acts of killing and violence in Iraq are preventing the Iraqi people from achieving their aspirations of security and stability; condemned the recent explosion in Junieh, stressing that such acts are contrary to efforts pursued to support stability in Lebanon; and expressed concern about the security and stability of Egypt, and support for the Egyptian people in confronting acts of violence and terrorism.
Turning to its agenda, the Cabinet passed a number of resolutions, including endorsement of a memorandum of understanding with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in the field of Islamic affairs aimed at the training of callers and preachers and the exchange of experiences in the management of mosques and endowments; authorization for the Minister of Culture and Information or his deputy to discuss a draft arrangement for news exchange between the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) and the Azerbaijani News Agency; and endorsement of the agreement on the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation and its protocol referring to fixed platforms along the continental shelf, with reservations regarding Article (11) and the first paragraph of Article (16). The Cabinet also ratified the framework agreement for economic cooperation between the Republic of India and member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) that was endorsed in Kuwait at the 24th GCC Summit. The agreement aims at encouraging economic cooperation, expanding and liberating trade ties and concluding free trade zone agreements.

I have found that sometime i can find files using locate but sometimes it dont find.
Which directories it find the file using locate or find
Suppose i want to find the files or directories having word denyhosts.
Whats the best way to find that
Locate has to be feeded every then and now to have a updated list of everything on your server.
To keep it up-to-date you have to run
If after you ran that command you have create or download or increased the amount of new files it won't be listed in there so
For example:
Would look for a file starting with denyhosts on every directory from
To look for directories only use the
The above will look from
I prefer having updatedb up-to-date i guess it is easier to find things, but that is just my personal preference, it works just like a cache so once it is updated to find things it might be even faster.

Welcome to bpurcell.org, the personal homepage of Brandon Purcell. I started building bpurcell.org many, many years ago to share information I ran across everyday in my role as a Support Engineer and Consultant for Macromedia/Adobe. As a support engineer and consultant I always had a lot to blog about but as I moved into managment roles at Adobe my technical content dwindled.
I currently work as the Director of Technology for Universal Mind. My primary responsiblity is managing the SpatialKey project and it has been an amazing experience. I have been spending a lot of time working with Amazon Ec2 and will share my experiences through the blog in the future. I truly believe that Cloud Computing is the IT platform of the future and we have built the SpatialKey architecture on top of Ec2.
The fact is, DirectTV will not be carrying local channels in HD for quite some time, so you will have to settle for Monday Night Football or the other prime time channels in Standard Definition. Unless........you have local stations in your area that are broadcasting in high def. To find out plug you address into Antennaweb.org the stations with the * next to them are digital stations and they may broadcast in high definition. Check their website or give them a call for details. Antennaweb will also provide you with details of what antenna you will need based on your location and signal strength. If you live in a major city you may be able to get away with a Multi-directional antenna but most of you, including me will need a directional antenna. Here is my current plan
Phase I: Includes antenna, basic mounting and cabling$63 - Antenna - 4228A Channel Master 8-Bay UHF Antenna$30 - Cable RG 6 50ft$20 - Chimney Mount$15 - 10ft Antenna mast$5 - 40ft Grounding Wire$5 - Grounding Block
Total: $140
Phase II: Includes an amplifier and rotor to get stations from other broadcast locations.$66 - 7777 Channel Master Pre-Amp from Warren Electronics$80 - 9521A Channel Master Remote-Control Rotator$9 - 75ft Rotator Cable
Total: $155Grand Total $295

I enjoyed my stat at Candle Wood Suites and would stay again. either pleasure or business. it was clean, attractive and close to an area for shopping and eating. also close to the Wildlife refuge. indoor pool activity room and plenty of parking space.
Overall Good Experience
mars 30, 2016
We spent one night at this hotel for a baseball tournament. The check-in was simple for our family, although some had to wait for rooms despite advanced booking. We had to sign waivers regarding the behavior of our children during the stay and what facilities they could and could not use. Understandable considering that the primary demographic for this type of hotel is traveling business people. The only complaints regarding our room were too few towels and an a/c that wouldn't turn off. It was fairly warm, so not a major issue, but it definitely got a little too cool. The other issue was the indoor pool that had been out of commission for over a month with no real plans for repair.
Comfortable stay
mars 29, 2016
This is the third time I have been in the Slidell area on business. Each time I have stayed at the Candlewood Suites. The hotel staff has always been friendly and great to work with. One of the desk staff would even refer to me by name when she saw me. If you are expecting a breakfast in the morning this is not the place for you. However, each suite has a full refrigerator/freezer, microwave, and stove top cooking surface. Everything I needed to prepare my own breakfasts and lunches was there. They even have a couple gas grills outside if you are interested in grilling out. Rooms have a nice desk, nice TV, and DVD player. I feel at home when I stay there. I look forward to my next trip to Slidell and will stay at the Candlewood Suites every time.

Pool of Light
Something From Nothing
John LeRoy
"Pool of Light" is a collection of poems, reflections and memoirs. It is a very personal record of the experiences of a friend who is following the path. As we all know it, "this path is not all roses and violins – it is an uphill task, fraught with confusion as man struggles with his conditioning, but, it is a path full of warmth, full of light, and full of love. This book is an illustration of such a struggle.

Rice is daily food for half of the world's population. Genetically modified (GM) rice, on the other hand, is a threat to our agriculture, our biodiversity and a possible risk to our health.
At present, GM rice is not grown commercially anywhere in the world. But Bayer, the German chemical giant, has genetically manipulated rice to withstand higher doses of a toxic pesticide called glufosinate, which is considered to be so dangerous to humans and the environment that it will soon be banned from Europe.

The Muslim Brotherhood's influence on our schools is very destruction. With assistance from the Progressive the Islamic worldview is taught at fact. In a Texas school a mom is angry that a quiz had as the correct answer that America was to blame for 9/11.
A Texas mother is outraged by a school quiz given to her son that seemingly blames the United States for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Kara Sands posted the test her son received in fifth grade at the Flour Bluff Independent School District in September on her Facebook page, which attracted more than 1,600 users in support of her concerns. Sands told KRISTV.com that she was most dismayed by a question that asked why the U.S. may be a target for terrorism. Her son chose the correct answer to the test that covered material from a video students watched in class: "Decisions we made in the United States have had negative effects on people elsewhere."

Let $X$ be the set of natural numbers $k_i$, $k_i \geq 1$, with the property that at least one of the equations $p_i = $6$ k_i \pm 1$ gives the $i$-th prime number (disregarding $2$ and $3$), and define the set $Y$ to be $Y = \mathbb{N} \setminus \{1\}$. Is it true that each element of Y can be represented as $2 k_i$ or as the sum $k_i + k_j$, where $k_i$ and $k_j$ are both elements of set X?

Ariel Sharon was a man who popped in and out of the news from the time that baby boomers were children until his death, days ago. Let's leave formal remembrances to pundits, to admirers and even detractors. The goal of this essay is to demonstrate Jewish values learned from him.
There is no doubt of Sharon's complexity. He flipped from being a left-wing Laborite, to a member of the right-wing Likud coalition. When voted in as prime minister he was the head of a centrist coalition that later brought Prime Minister Olmert to power and afterward vanished. Do these flips reflect inconsistency? Perhaps. On the other hand they may signal pragmatism and love for Israel. Loving the land of Israel and having a special affection for the People of Israel are arachim, values, long part of Jewish tradition. Sharon flipped from hawk to dove, from socialist to capitalist. He always supported his country and its inhabitants.
Pirkei Avot teaches to love the work and detest authority. Sharon was devoted to his life's work. He pursued building, supporting, nurturing, defending and protecting the State of Israel. To fulfill that lofty life's task, Sharon defied authority on a regular basis. Defying authority is what gained his greatest admirers.
He spurned authority in the Suez Campaign of 1956 and was almost lost from history as a result. Resurrected by Moshe Dayan for the Six Day War, he became commander of the Sinai for the IDF. During the Yom Kippur War he acted against generals' orders by crossing the Suez Canal and encircling Egyptian forces. That act may have won the war for the Israeli army. Because he ignored orders he was never promoted to become chief of staff.
When years later he became the prime minister, he did the unthinkable. The hawk of many years unilaterally turned Gaza and the northern part of the Western Bank to Palestinian control. It was a bold trade of land for peace for which we continue to pray. He demonstrated to the world that he would do anything to enhance his country's abilityto live peacefully with her neighbors. The withdrawal was not well received by all. Ardent likudniks of the time condemned him. The whole Land of Israel, to their collective mind, is the permanent legacy of the Jewish people. Rabbinic authorities are divided. While they may more or less agree with the Likud premise many apply an important caveat. Sacrificing land for peace and safety is a bargain.
What lessons are there for American Jewry from this strange man? Perhaps that there are few ideologies so central or basic that they must be maintained at all costs. He taught to always look for a greater good. Jews of all religious affiliations accept the authority of tradition on some level. Torah and traditions have been passed down for generations. Yet Sharon stood up to religious authorities, to government leaders and even to officers above him in rank. His acts distinguished between the authority of Heaven and that of flesh and blood.
As Sharon lay in a coma for the past eight years, medical equipment allowed him to breathe and be nourished. For all practical purposes he died when that stroke occurred. May his family ably accept the closure that this passing allows. May Sharon be bound among the living and a source of blessing for all.

Rebecca Sherman | Photo: Arika Porras | July 7, 2014
A reflective moment for a budding artist.
Downtown Dallas
For 23-year-old budding photographer Arika Porras, the partial image of a figure reflected in a window downtown isn't just an interesting shot, it's a reflection of her inner self. "At first, what caught my eye was the painting," says Porras. "Then a man with a briefcase walked by and made it even better. He's washed out, so you only see the half with the briefcase—his 9-to-5 half." The chest and head are lost inside the painting, "where his heart and soul are," she adds. The metaphor hit home with Porras, who dropped out of her restaurant and hotel management studies at University of Texas to travel and take pictures. "I wasn't happy. I'd always had this fear I'd get trapped in a 9-to-5 job after graduation. It's a fear I've had since I was young," she says. So, in May 2013, she hopped a bus with her Sony A230 camera in tow, and for the next six months, she photographed throughout the northeast, Canada and Alaska. In mid-July, she's headed solo to Mexico and South America to shoot. "I've found my calling—I love being on the road."

Create Your Own Reality & More
DYD: Create Your Own Reality
Then I said: "Let's go talk to someone else!" We got back into the game, we didn't sit on the sidelines feeling sorry for ourselves.
I think that it's important to realize that your reality is what you make of it. I have done a lot of inner work on my own reality and I have come to a deep understanding and realization that no woman can take away my joy and positive outlook on the world unless I give her the power to do so. So guess what? Women don't upset me anymore. Use your imagination to create a reality that you want to live in — and then start living there. No one is going to call you up and say: "Hey, I am granting you permission to live the life you want, so get to it." You're going to have to create the reality that you want to live in — and then start living there.
reader's commentDear Dave,
I have been receiving your e-mails for a while now, and a buddy of mine bought me your program after I broke up with my ex-fiance saying I had been out of the game for too long and needed a little help. I just wanted to tell you about an experience that I had a while back. I am 27 years old and dating a 10 Latin hottie that is eight years older than me. I ran into her at a local club last June and she had a mutual friend introduce us. After talking to her for a while I asked her to dance and she said she couldn't because she came with a friend and didn't want to disrespect him. I said: "Oh, and talking to me isn't disrespecting him?" I told her that if she wanted to dance with me that I would be at another part of the club and if I didn't have another good-looking girl on my arm, to ask me to dance. I said it being funny and she started laughing, but this pretty much got her thinking. I walked off and she wouldn't leave me alone for the rest of the night; she kept on coming over to where I was but never danced with me. At the end of the night she came to me and said she wanted to give me her number. I said that I was too old to play her games and I didn't even want it and said that I'd be there in a few weeks and if she wanted to dance to meet me there.
OK, using your techniques I had this girl pretty much eating out of the palm of my hand because she kept calling a mutual friend that was with me asking him for my number. I told my friend not to give it to her and to tell her that I was too busy helping poor orphan kids find their parents. She showed up a few weeks later at the club by herself and the first thing she did was give me a kiss. I still use the Cocky & Funny on her to this day. She is eating out of the palm of my hand and has been with me since that night. This girl has men hitting on her constantly, even when I am around. She was a model in Mexico and I am just an average-looking guy, so yes your program does work and I urge everyone to get it as soon as they can. I can't thank you enough for all your help.
david d. respondsWell what can I say to that? Someone should give you a kiss — and it had better not be me.
You have told a story that demonstrates a principle that most men will never get: Women don't pursue men who pursue them.
I don't really say what I'm about to say too often, because it's really beyond most men to even understand, and quite frankly, a lot of guys just don't believe it: If you really learn these concepts and study the materials — and really take the time to perfect them — your skills with women will start having them chase after you.
I know many guys who have so many women calling them that they literally have to avoid the calls. Yes, it is possible, and you can learn how to do it.
Thanks for your e-mail and thanks to your buddy who got my program for you — he's a true friend!

Really people, Iron Maiden wrote all kinds of crazy songs about all kinds of things; most metal bands are not really "satanic" in the classical or Lavey sense, and Maiden has always used such imagery to reflect the darkness and insanity implied by their music. They were one of the original "devil music" bands, and still one of the best - that doesn't mean they worship any devils or demons. Last I checked, super-satanic band Slayer's vocalist Tom Araya is Catholic. Music is art, and you won't find many bands outside the black-metal scene who actually believe in the literal meanings of their demonic lyrics; the lyrics are written to fit the music, and maybe scare people stupid enough to believe that the bands actually engage that kind of thing. Back when this came out, lyrics like this, and the protests and publicity that came about because of them, helped sell millions of records for not just Maiden, but also for metal founders Black Sabbath as well as pop bands like Motley Crue and W.A.S.P. Come on now, are we still burning records?
Revelations this world |
Reviewer: Erwin
Nice to see that people all over the world still makes a fuzz about the lyrice and the song. This was also like in the 80's, at that time they crushed and burned the album!
Great to see that the discussion is still alive.
If you wanna know what's the band upinion about the devil worship thing. Listen to the song on piece of mind...revelations!
Number of the beast!!!!!! |
Reviewer: Sloppy_fiend
First..the begining is in fact from the book of revelation, but it is not one verse it is two verses. "Woe to you of earth and sea..." Revelation 12:12, "Let him who hath..." Revelation 13:18
Secondly, music and religion has more in common than anyone would like to admit. I cannot tell you why this song was written, I a=can try to infer meaning from it, and I actually thing it is more of a representation of the evils of the world. Succumbing to lust and greed and gluttony. Sort of a warning against the pull of the evil that is represented by satan and the chanting hordes as it were. I could get into the meaning of the bible verses and what "earth and sea" actually, in my opinion, means, but just like the song it is open to interpretation. The one thing I can safley say if you want to label this song as satanic, then you are either very small minded, or just have an axe to grind.
Inform the Lord? |
Reviewer: Damaramu
Seriously, that cracks me up. How does one inform the Lord? Call him up on the phone?
"Uh, hello Lord? Yeah, this is Frank. I thought you might like to know that I saw some guys out in the woods...what? You knew already? Ah, never mind then. Yeah you too. Have a good one."
Sounds like a bad Bob Newhart skit.
for all the scummbags who think this song is satanic are idiots who cant read or listen to the meanings of this song.at first place.the intro Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath.. and so on is from the bible and the later text is just his version of this lil text in the bible in other words he just tell the story whit diferent words.god safe the fools who think this is satanic.if this is satanic than the bible is also satanic couse this is the text from the bible.....
i like the scale |
Reviewer: me
why, if people have this incredible music, still listen at garbage...i said, rap and reggaeton? i dont get it...
im still learnin english, and songs like this are perfect for practice the right pronunciation of each world, no matter if talks about the devil (i think people who feel ofended about this are still in the midage)

satanic!!!!! not. |
Reviewer: Anonymous
dude...i dont get why people find this offensive. Im a christian, raised as a christian, go to church every sunday. These bands are soooo prejudiced...they are called satanic because of the title. christians dont bother listening to the song...
This is an amazing song...the lyrics are like art...they are deeper than what they seem...this is not about satan worship.
omg |
Reviewer: Anonymous
im catholic and if you are offended by this song than get fucked it is about the book of revelations (the second coming of christ)it is also about a nightmare because of the omen so fuck you if you think its offencive
up the irons |
Reviewer: Anonymous
alright - personally i dont think this is about worshipping satan..at all - and even if it was, would you worship satan jus because you heard it on a ( great ) song? NO, im a christian myself and i dont like much or any of our worship music, my favorite bands are maiden, metalica, and zeppelin. just because you hear it on a song doesnt mean you have to do it haha.
It is not satanic |
Reviewer: Catholic
What Iron Maiden is talking about is how people are easily tempted by evil. The guy in the beginning of the song is a good guy. However the allure of Satan is something he can't resist. It is a warning to people that anyone can succumb to the false promises of the Devil
don't bother |
Reviewer: haedim
as a christian i don't think that a religious person should never listen to this song. it's just about steve harris' dream. he saw a nightmare after watching the movie Omen (for which the Catholic Church gave thumbs up).
i think the only song that you shouldn't listen to if you are a christian is moonchild because it's very similar to a crowley's ritual. to find out more about this i'd suggest you to read the maiden commentary site (
I am Catholic |
Reviewer: Anonymous
He, just wanted to say that everyone should focus on the fact that this song is fucking awesome, it doesnt matter if it has religion in it or not. If you're truly a christian you shouldnt even be affected in any way whatsoever by this song. Everyone should agree that this is one of the best songs of the band.
BTW the real lyrics are ''This can't go on I must inform the law'' just so you know.
Up the Irons.
the greatest speach |
Reviewer: chase
Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath
because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding
reckon the number of the beast
for it is a human number
its number is six hundred and sixty six.
Those are last words my uncle ever said as he died in the hospital he was my hero and cherrish these words and they run through my head all the time r.i.p. see u with sattan
Shed Some Truth |
The Number of the Beast was written about a bad dream that, I believe Steve Harris, had. It is about the character running into a satanic ritual and being discovered. He is killed by the ritual holders, and tells of his return to reek vengence. OR at least the last part is what I get out of it. If you ask me, it's the story of Edward the Great (or Eddie the Head informally) and how he came to be a...well, whatever he happens to be in the album lol
This song is not about praising Satan, please drop it, blah blah blah...it's been said enough. I mean bloody hell it says the number of the BEAST...doesn't it...
Not satanic |
Reviewer: dude
like many people have said before me this song isnt satanic why else would he say i must inform the lord not law listen to the song WTFF. just because it mentions him doesnt mean they want you to glorify him, it doesnt even say that anywere in the song.

"The AWWA now thinks all water should be accounted for," says Jakubowski. "And we threw the percentage concept out because people were just jiggling numbers around to meet the required water loss percentages."
To help utilities gain control over their water losses, AWWA teamed with the International Water Association (IWA) to identify best management practices. In 2003, the associations began developing a water audit structure that renders obsolete ambiguous terms such as "unaccounted-for." Now completed, the audit also allows utilities to assess water loss, benchmark themselves with other utilities, and set performance targets. It features:
Jakubowski insists that the audit is user-friendly. "You can plug your numbers into the appropriate categories and start analyzing," he says. The audit is available as a free, downloadable software program on the AWWA Web site www.awwa.org/waterwiser/waterloss. You can also see an example of the audit software the AWWA provides for free, here.
Although the IWA/AWWA Water Audit Method has been available since last summer, there's still a disconnect when it comes to determining numbers. A big reason is the conflicting information floating around the industry.
For instance, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency water loss regulations still use percentages and "unaccounted-for" water losses. And although a few states have embraced the new AWWA guidelines, others are writing legislation based on AWWA committee reports from the 1990s, which endorse water loss rates instead of the updated method of determining water loss by volume and cost.
Regardless, Jakubowski is happy that policymakers are at least trying to regulate water loss. As for the industry coming around to AWWA's new way of thinking, "it's going to be a tough issue to change in the minds of people," he says.
"The people who are jumping on board are doing so because it's money back in your pocket. You shouldn't be wasting it."

Who We Are
Charisms. Lay Carmelites (Third Order Secular of the Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel) are Roman Catholic men and women, mostly laity, called to:
Origins. Shortly after the end of the Third Crusade, a group of latin hermits were observed living on the slopes of Mount Carmel.
Some time between 1206-14, the papal legate and patriarch of Jerusalem, Albert of Vercelli, wrote a way of life for the hermits. They were to elect their leader (Ch 4), live in separate cells (Ch 6), ponder scripture (Ch 10), pray the Hours (Ch 11), hold possessions in common (Ch 12), gather daily for morning Mass (Ch 14), gather on Sundays for discussions (Ch 15), fast (Ch 16), and work in silence (Ch 20).[3]
Around 1238, the hermits began migrating to the cities of Europe.[4] By 1247, Pope Innocent IV modified their Rule, making them a mendicant order. Since this time, Carmelites have embraced a dual spirituality of contemplative prayer (eremitic/hermit) and active ministry (mendicant/friar).
Over the centuries, many religious and lay groups have become affiliated with the Carmelite Order. Today, the Carmelite family includes friars, contemplative nuns, active sisters, hermits, apostolic institutes, Lay Carmelites, lay missionaries, confraternities, those enroled in the Brown Scapular, those who wear the Brown Scapular, and others.
Saints. Some Carmelites have become an inspiration to countless others, and noted by the Church for their path to holiness. Currently, the Church recognises 3 doctors, 11 saints, and 23 blesseds from the Carmelite Orders. [5] Among these Carmelites are St. Mary Magdalen de'Pazzi, St. Teresa of Jesus, St. John of the Cross, St. Therese of the Child Jesus, St. Nuno Alvares Pereira, and Bl. Titus Brandsma. Well-known Carmelites of recent times include Sr. Lucy of Fatima and Bl. Pope John Paul II (a Carmelite tertiary).

Minnesota Republicans are right to focus on MNsure's data privacy issues but they'll make a mistake if they don't highlight the policies sold through the MNsure health insurance exchange. This article highlights Gov. Dayton's incompetence and MNsure's fallibility:
MNsure was supposed to be a national model for smooth implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which had early and strong backing from Dayton. Instead, the program has been hit by high-profile problems and delays.
The state's crash-prone website routinely was clogged with maddening delays as people made last-ditch attempts to enroll. Upward of 40,000 Minnesotans incorrectly were denied insurance and some customers are still not sure they have coverage. In the latest fit of drama, MNsure's director was forced to resign after disclosing she took a Costa Rican vacation as problems worsened and the state's legislative auditor says that scrutiny of the site has become his top priority.
In the past, Minnesota had a reputation of getting health care right. Thanks to the data security issues and April Todd-Malmlov's mismanagement of MNsure, that reputation has disappeared. While those are disturbing issues, they aren't the only issues Republicans should focus on. Republicans should focus on stories like this:
This Minnesota family is a young married couple with three children. Until ObamaCare and Dayton's MNsure came along they shared the cost of their Blue Cross-Blue Shield family health insurance policy 50/50 with the father's employer. Thanks to ObamaCare, the cost of that policy sky rocketed and is no longer affordable to the family. After endless hours of working with MNsure, here is what resulted.
Without the parent's consent, MNsure jammed their three children onto government insurance. The children are now covered by Medicaid at no cost to the family or employer, but 100 percent cost to the taxpayers. The father had to go with a single insurance plan from his employer and purchase a separate new policy for his wife. Because of the confusion and disarray at MNsure, neither he nor his wife currently has health insurance ID cards for the insurance they have already paid for.
Democrats have tried selling the Affordable Care Act, aka the ACA, by saying the policies people would now be buying would be significantly better. Based on this family's story, that's provably false. That's a heartwrenching story but that's just the tip of the story. Here's more about this family's plight:
The family and the employer were paying their own way for a good insurance policy that covered all members of the family. Today they are hostage to three different insurance policies. The husband and wife's deductibles have doubled. The cost of the two adult policies is about equal to the old policy that covered the entire family.
That's verifiable proof that the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, isn't selling better policies. It's verifiable proof that they're selling policies that trap families in complicated health insurance situations that are difficult to manage.
Families should be able to keep the health insurance policies they'd chosen, especially if the health insurance policies they had were inexpensive and straightforward.
The key principle to understand from this is that Gov. Dayton and the DFL shouldn't punish families that have a history of doing the right thing. That's what Gov. Dayton and the DFL is doing and it's inexcusable.
