Failed prophecy in the Bible
Following Data taken from http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/proph/long.html However there was no way to contact the Author, yet this was in a public forum. All thanks to Mr. Steve Wells, please buy his book at http://drunkwithblood.com/drunk-with-blood-purchase.html
1. "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." God says that if Adam eats from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then the day that he does so, he will die. But later Adam eats the forbidden fruit (3:6) and yet lives for another 930 years (5:5). 2:17
2. As a punishment for killing Abel, God says Cain will be "a fugitive and a vagabond." Yet in just a few verses (4:16-17) Cain will settle down, marry, have a son, and build a city. This is not the activity one would expect from a fugitive and a vagabond. 4:12
3. God promises Abram and his descendants all of the land of Canaan. But both history and the bible (Acts 7:5 and Heb.11:13) show that God's promise to Abram was not fulfilled. 13:15, 15:18, 17:8, 28:13-14
4. How long was the Egyptian captivity? This verse says 400 years, but Ex.12:40 and Gal.3:17 say 430 years. 15:13
5. "In the fourth generation they [Abraham's descendants] shall come hither again." But, if we count Abraham, then their return occurred after seven generations: Abraham, Isaac (Gen.21:1-3), Jacob (Gen.25:19-26), Levi (Gen.35:22-23), Kohath (Ex.6:16), Amramn (Ex.6:18), and Moses (Ex.6:20). 15:16
6. God promises Abram's descendants the land of Canaan from the Nile to the Euphrates. But according to Acts 7:5 and Heb.11:13 God's promise to Abram was not fulfilled. 15:18
7. God promises to make Isaac's descendents as numerous as "the stars of heaven", which, of course, never happened. The Jews have always been, and will always be, a small minority. 26:4
8. God renames Jacob twice (32:28, 35:10 ). God says that Jacob will henceforth be called Israel, but the Bible continues to call him Jacob anyway (47:28-29). And even God himself calls him Jacob in 46:2. 32:28, 35:10
9. God calls Jacob Jacob, though he said in Gen.32:28 and 35:10 that he would no longer be called Jacob but Israel. 46:2
10. God promises to bring Jacob safely back from Egypt, but Jacob dies in Egypt (Gen.47:28-29) 46:3
11. The tribe of Judah will reign "until Shiloh," but Israel's first king (Saul) was from the tribe of Benjamin (Acts 13:21), and most of the time after this prophecy there was no king at all. 49:10
12. "He washed his garments in wine ... His eyes shall be red with wine." Did Judah really wash his clothes in wine? Were his eyes bloodshot from drinking too much? Or is this a prophecy of Jesus? (I didn't know Jesus had a drinking problem.) 49:11-12
13. Contrary to the prophecy in 48:21, Joseph died in Egypt, not Israel. Gen.50:24
14. God promises to cast out many nations including the Canaanites and the Jebusites. But he was unable to fulfill his promise. 33:2
15. In this verse God says he will write on the stone tablets, but in 34:27 he tells Moses to do the writing. 34:1
16. "If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will ... speak unto him in a dream." Now there's a reliable way to communicate with someone! 12:6
17. God promises to cast out seven nations including the Amorites, Canaanites, and the Jebusites. But he was unable to fulfill his promise.7:1
18. God says that the Israelites will destroy all of the peoples they encounter. But according to Joshua ( 15:63, 16:10, 17:12-13) and Judges (1:21, 27-36, 3:1-5) there were some people they just couldn't kill. 7:24
19. Those who do as God says will never be infertile (neither will their cows!) and will never get sick. 7:14-15
20. Prophets and dreamers are to be executed if they say or dream the wrong things. 13:1-5
21. False prophets are to be (you guessed it) executed. How do you know who is a false prophet? By whether or not their predictions come true. (Watch out Jehovah's Witnesses!) 18:20
22. Misquoted in Rom.10:8. 30:14
23. God promises to "destroy these nations before thee." That he didn't keep his promise see Jos.15:63, 16:10, Jg.1:21, 1:27-36, and 3:1-5. 31:3-6
24. God promises to give Joshua all of the land that his "foot shall tread upon." He says that none of the people he encounters will be able to resist him. But later we find that God didn't keep his promise, and that many tribes withstood Joshua's attempt to steal their land. 1:3-5
25. Joshua tells the Israelites that God will "without fail" drive out the Canaanites and the Jebusites. But later, the Bible tells us that he could not drive them out. 3:10
26. This verse says that Ai was never again occupied after it was destroyed by Joshua. But Nehemiah (7:32) lists it among the cities of Israel at the time of the Babylonian captivity. 8:28
27. God promised the Israelites that he would drive out all the inhabitants of the lands they pass through. But this verse shows that he didn't keep his promise since he couldn't drive out the Jebusites. 15:63
28. "And they drave not out the Canaanites." Once again God fails keep his promise to destroy all the people the Israelites encounter.16:10
29. The Israelites, contrary to God's promises to them, could not drive out the Canaanites. 17:12-13
30. Joshua tells Manasseh that he will be able to drive out the Canaanites, but it turns out (see Jg.1:27-28) that he couldn't do it. 17:17-18
31. According to these verses, God fulfilled his promise to give the Israelites all of the lands that they encountered. But in several places the Bible tells us that these promises were not kept. 21:43-45
32. God promised many times that he would drive out all the inhabitants of the lands they encountered. But these verses show that God failed to keep his promise since he was unable to drive out the Canaanites. 1:21, 27-30
33. God promised many times that he would drive out all the inhabitants of the lands they encountered. But these verses show that God failed to keep his promise since he was unable to drive out the Canaanites. 3:1-5
2 Samuel
34. "Thy kingdom shall be established for ever." God says that Davids's kingdom will last forever. It didn't of course. It was entirely destroyed about 400 years after Solomon's death, never to be rebuilt. 7:13, 16
1 Kings
35. God puts a "lying spirit" in the mouth of his prophets. 22:22
2 Kings
36. God promises Josiah that he will have a peaceful death. But Josiah's death was anything but peaceful. (2 Kg.23:29-30, 2 Chr.35:23-24) 22:20
37. In Jeremiah (34:4) God tells Zedekiah that he will die in peace and be buried with his fathers. But this verse and Jer.52:10-11 say that he died a violent death in a foreign land. 25:7
2 Chronicles
38. The trouble with prophets 18:5-34
39. God puts lies into the mouths of his prophets and speaks evil about people. 18:21-22
40. Josiah died from an arrow wound in battle, not "in peace" as is promised in 2 Kg.22:20. 35:23
41. Misquoted in Eph.4:8, which says: "Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men." The author changed the words and meaning of the psalm from "received gifts" to "gave gifts". 68:18
42. Misquoted in Mt.13:35. 78:2-3
43. "I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations." But the Davidic line of Kings ended with Zedekiah; there were none during the Babylonian captivity, and there are none today. 89:3-4, 34-37
44. God told Isaiah to tell Ahaz, the King of Judah, not to be concerned about Rezin (the king of Syria) or Pekah (the king of Israel). But according to 2 Chr.28:5-6 "God delivered him [Ahaz] into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter." 7:3-7
45. The King James Version mistranslates the Hebrew word "almah", which means "young woman" as "virgin". (The Hebrew word, "bethulah", means "virgin".) In addition, the young woman referred to in this verse was living at the time of the prophecy. And Jesus, of course, was called Jesus -- and is not called Emmanuel in any verse in the New Testament. 7:14
46. As a sign that he's getting ready to destroy the world, God will destroy the whole universe. 13:10-13
47. These verses falsely predict that Babylon will never again be inhabited. 13:19-20
48. Dragons will live in Babylonian palaces and satyrs will dance there. 13:21-22
49. Every head will be bald, every beard will be shaved, and everyone will howl and weep abundantly. 15:2-3
50. "Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl." 16:7
51. "Within three years ... the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble." 16:14
52. This verse prophesies that Damascus will be completely destroyed and no longer be inhabited. Yet Damascus has never been completely destroyed and is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities. 17:1
53. God will ride in on a cloud and scare the hell out of the Egyptians. 19:1
54. The river of Egypt (identified as the Nile in RSV) shall dry up. This has never occurred. 19:5
55. "The land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt." Judah never invaded Egypt and was never a military threat to Egypt. 19:17
56. This verse predicts that there shall be five cities in Egypt that speak the Canaanite language. But that language was never spoken in Egypt, and it is extinct now. 19:18
57. These verses predict that the Egyptians will worship the Lord (Yahweh) with sacrifices and offerings. But Judaism has never been an important religion in Egypt. 19:18-21
58. These verses predict that there will be an alliance between Egypt, Israel, and Assyria. But there has never been any such alliance, and it's unlikely that it ever will since Assyria no longer exists. 19:23-24
59. "They have ... changed the ordinance. There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone." Is this a prophecy about prohibition in the United States? 24:5-11
60. "The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink." You can't even trust a drunken prophet anymore. 28:7
61. Misquoted in Rom.9:33. 28:16
62. "The light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold." Well, this is one prophecy that will never come true. Since the moon has no light of its own, but only reflects that of the sun, it could never shine like the sun. And the sun will not, at least not while there are humans to see it, shine 7 times as bright as it does now. 30:26
63. "The host of heaven shall be dissolved ... and ... shall fall down." The stars will dissolve and fall from the sky. 34:4
64. "Henceforth there shall no more come into thee [Jerusalem] the uncircumcised and the unclean." But many uncircumcised people have visited and occupied Jerusalem after this prophecy was made. 52:1
65. Nations that do not serve Israel will perish. 60:12
66. "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me." These words were spoken by Isaiah and referred to Isaiah. They were not a prophecy about a future prophet, as Jesus claimed in Luke 4:16-19, where he supposedly read these verses in the synagogue while applying them to himself. 61:1-2 Jeremiah
67. Jeremiah prophesies that all nations of the earth will embrace Judaism. This has not happened. 3:17
68. "The prophets prophesy falsely." 5:31
69. God will make Jerusalem an uninhabited "den of dragons." 9:11
70. Judah will become a desolate den of dragons. 10:22
71. "The prophets prophesy lies" in God's name. 14:14
72. God will destroy by famine and sword those who are misled by the prophets, as well as the prophets themselves. 14:15-16
73. Matthew (1:12) lists Jeconiah as an ancestor of Jesus -- which, according to this prophecy, disqualifies Jesus as the Messiah. 22:28-30
74. God's priest and prophets are profane, wicked, adulterous, lying sodomites. 23:11-14 p>
75. God damned lying prophets 23:25-40
76. God says he is going to punish Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians for what they have done to his people -- even though God Himself is the one who made the Babylonians attack and enslave Judah! As part of the punishment God will take the land of the Babylonians and "make it perpetual desolations." A false prophecy, since present-day Iraq is quite occupied.25:12-13
77. Hananiah vs. Jeremiah: Good Prophet, Bad Prophet 28:1-17
78. A new prophet shows up proclaiming the good news: God was going to break the yoke of Babylon and bring the people of Judah back home. His name was Hananiah. 28:1-4
79. God kills Hananiah for disagreeing with Jeremiah. 28:16-17
80. God will send his usual blessings upon his people: "the sword, the famine, and the pestilence." He "will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil." Why will he do this? Because they didn't listen to his prophets. 29:19
81. Matthew (2:17-18) quotes this verse, claiming that it was a prophecy of King Herod's alleged slaughter of the children in and around Bethlehem after the birth of Jesus. But this passage refers to the Babylonian captivity, as is clear by reading the next two verses (16 and 17), and, thus, has nothing to do with Herod's massacre. 31:15
82. Misquoted in Heb.8:9. 31:32
83. "David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel." But the Davidic line of Kings ended with Zedekiah; there were none during the Babylonian captivity, and there are none today. 33:17
84. God lies to Zedekiah again by telling him that he will die in peace and be buried with his fathers. But later (2 Kg.25:7 and 52:10-11) he dies a violent death in a foreign land. 34:2, 5
85. The beginning of the end for Zedekiah. Despite God's earlier assurances (34:5) that he would die peacefully at home, here Zedekiah watches as his children are killed and then has his eyes put out and he is shackled and taken to Babylon. 39:6-7
86. All those who move to Egypt will die by the sword, famine, or pestilence. None "shall escape from the evil" that comes directly from God. But many, including Jews, have moved to Egypt and most seem to have escaped from God's promised evil. 42:15-18, 22
87. Jeremiah predicts that humans will never again live in Hazor, but will be replaced by dragons. But people still live there and dragons have never been seen. 49:33
88. God prophesies that Babylon will never again be inhabited. But it has been inhabited constantly since the prophecy was supposedly made, and is inhabited still today. 50:39
89. God says that Babylon will be desolate and uninhabited forever. He says that only dragons will live there. But Babylon has been dragon-free and continuously inhabited since then. 51:26, 29, 37, 43, 62, 64
90. "The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof." 51:42
91. God promised Zedekiah (Jer.34:5) that he would die peacefully and be buried with his fathers. But here we see that he died a miserable death in foreign land. 52:10-11
92. The "prophets also find no vision from the LORD." 2:9
93. "Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee." 2:14
94. God deceives some of his prophets and then kills them for believing his lies. 14:9
95. Ezekiel Prophesies (in the 6th century BCE) that Ammonites will not be remembered any more. They continued to exist until the 2nd century CE. (And they are still remembered in the Bible.) 21:28-32
96. Ezekiel prophesies that Tyrus will be completely destroyed by Nebuchadrezzar and will never be built again. But it wasn't destroyed, as evidenced by the visits to Tyre by Jesus and Paul (Mt.15:21, Mk.7:24, 31, Acts 21:3). 26:14,21, 27:36, 28:19
97. Ezekiel prophesies that Israel will reside in their homeland safely and securely, never again to fight neighboring nations. 28:24-26
98. Ezekiel makes another false prophecy: that Egypt would be uninhabited by humans or animals for forty years after being destroyed by Nebuchadrezzar. But there was never a time when Egypt was uninhabited. Humans and animals have lived there continuously since Ezekiel's prophecy. 29:10-13
99. "The day ... of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen." God plans to wipe out the heathen. When? Soon. Really soon. 30:3
100. The rivers of Egypt (identified as the Nile in NIV, NASB, and RSV) shall dry up. This has never occurred. 30:12
101. Ezekiel prophesies God will protect the Israelites from "the heathen". "And they shall be safe in their land." But the Israelites have never lived peacefully with their neighbors, and they've never been safe from attack. 34:28-29
102. "I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it." (If Daniel couldn't understand his visions, then how could anyone else?) This is the one true prophecy in the book of Daniel: "none understood it." 8:27
103. "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight." This may be the verse referred to inLuke 18:31-33 and 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. However, Hosea 6:2 refers to the people living at the time (hence "us") who were to be torn up by God and therefore cannot be fulfilled by the the death and resurrection of Jesus. 6:2
104. The prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad." 9:7
105. "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt." Matthew (2:15) claims that the flight of Jesus' family to Egypt is a fulfillment of this verse. But Hosea 11:1 is not a prophecy at all. It is a reference to the Hebrew exodus from Egypt and has nothing to do with Jesus. Matthew tries to hide this fact by quoting only the last part of the verse ("Out of Egypt I have called my son"). 11:1
106. "The day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand." 1:15, 2:1, 3:14
107. Amos tells Amaziah that his wife will become a whore, his children will be killed, and he'll die in a pagan country. There is no evidence in the Bible (or anywhere else) that any of these things occurred. 7:17
108. God tells Amos that the end has come for the people of Israel. He won't wait any longer to kill them all. 8:2
109. "They shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them." Despite this promise, the Jews have been continually uprooted and their lives disrupted. Even today, their land ownership falls into question. 9:15
110. "For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen." If so, then it must have come and past, unnoticed, long before the birth of Christ.15
111. Jonah prophesies that in forty days Nineveh shall be overthrown. But it didn't happen because God repented (Jonah 3:10).3:4
112. Watch out for lying prophets that bite (with their teeth). 3:5
113. "The prophets thereof divine for money." Some things never change. 3:11
114. "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." The gospel of Matthew (2:5-6) claims that Jesus' birth in Bethlehem fulfils this prophecy. But this is unlikely for two reasons. i. "Bethlehem Ephratah" in Micah 5:2 refers not to a town, but to a clan: the clan of Bethlehem, who was the son of Caleb's second wife, Ephrathah (1 Chr.2:18, 2:50-52, 4:4). ii. The prophecy (if that is what it is) does not refer to the Messiah, but rather to a military leader, as can be seen from verse 5:6. This leader is supposed to defeat the Assyrians, which, of course, Jesus never did. It should also be noted that Matthew altered the text of Micah 5:2 by saying: "And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda" rather than "Bethlehem Ephratah" as is said in Micah 5:2. He did this, intentionally no doubt, to make the verse appear to refer to the town of Bethlehem rather than the family clan.5:2
115. "The day of the LORD is at hand." 1:7
116. "The great day of the LORD is near." 1:14
117. "And men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen." 2:11
118. "The cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it." A prophecy for birdwathers. 2:14
119. In "a little while" God "will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land." 2:6
120. The gospels (especially Mt.21:4-5 and Jn.12:14-15) claim that Jesus fulfils the prophecy of Zech.9:9. But the next few verses (9:10-13) show that the person referred to in this verse is a military king that would rule "from sea to sea". Since Jesus had neither an army or a kingdom, he could not have fulfilled this prophecy. 9:9
121. Israel shall never again be oppressed. Another obviously false prophecy; Israel has been occupied many times since the time of Zechariah. 9:8
122. The river of Egypt (identified as the Nile in NIV, NASB, and RSV) shall dry up. This has never occurred. 10:11
123. Misquote by Matthew of Zech. 11:12
124. Matthew (27:9) quotes this verse, but incorrectly attributes it to Jeremiah. 11:12
125. God plans to expel the prophets and unclean spirits. Sounds like a good plan to me. 13:2
126. The gospel of Mark claims that John the Baptist fulfilled the prophecy given in Malachi. But the Malachi prophecy says that God will send Elijah before "the great and dreadful day of the LORD" in which the world will be consumed by fire. Yet John the Baptist flatly denied that he was Elijah (Elias) in John 1:21 and the earth was not destroyed after John's appearance. 3:1, 4:1, 5
127. The prophecy given in Is.7:14 referred not to a virgin but to a young woman, living at the time of the prophecy. And Jesus, of course, was called Jesus -- and is not called Emmanuel in any verse in the New Testament. 1:23
128. Matthew claims that Jesus' birth in Bethlehem fulfils the prophecy in Micah 5:2. But this is unlikely for two reasons. o "Bethlehem Ephratah" in Micah 5:2 refers not to a town, but to a clan: the clan of Bethlehem, who was the son of Caleb's second wife, Ephrathah (1 Chr.2:18, 2:50-52, 4:4). o The prophecy (if that is what it is) does not refer to the Messiah, but rather to a military leader, as can be seen from Micah 5:6. This leader is supposed to defeat the Assyrians, which, of course, Jesus never did. It should also be noted that Matthew altered the text of Micah 5:2 by saying: "And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda" rather than "Bethlehem Ephratah" as is said in Micah 5:2. He did this, intentionally no doubt, to make the verse appear to refer to the town of Bethlehem rather than the family clan. 2:5-6
129. "Out of Egypt I have called my son," Matthew claims that the flight of Jesus' family to Egypt is a fulfillment of Hosea 11:1. But Hosea 11:1 is not a prophecy at all, as is clear when the entire verse is quoted ("When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt."). It is a reference to the Hebrew exodus from Egypt and has nothing to do with Jesus. Matthew tries to hide this fact by quoting only the last part of the verse.2:15
130. Matthew quotes Jeremiah 31:15, claiming that it was a prophecy of King Herod's alleged slaughter of the children in and around Bethlehem after the birth of Jesus. But this verse refers to the Babylonian captivity, as is clear by reading the next two verses (16 and 17), and, thus, has nothing to do with Herod's massacre. 2:17-18
131. "He shall be called a Nazarene." Matthew claims this was a fulfillment of prophecy, yet such a prophecy is not found anywhere in the Old Testament. 2:23
132. The devil correctly quotes scripture (Ps.91:11-12), while Jesus misquotes Deuteronomy by adding "only" to Dt.6:13. 4:6, 10
133. Families will be torn apart because of Jesus (this is one of the few "prophecies" in the Bible that has actually come true). "Brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death." 10:21
134. Jesus tells his disciples that he will return before they can "go over the cities of Israel." Later (24:14) he says he will not come until the gospel is preached throughout the world. Well, his disciples went over the cities of Israel and then died waiting for the "return of the Lord." Now, nearly 2000 years later, and long after the gospel had been preached throughout the world, his followers still wait. 10:23
135. When Jesus and his disciples are accused of breaking the Sabbath, he excuses himself by referring to a scripture in which priests who "profaned the Sabbath" were blameless. But there is no such passage in the Old Testament. 12:5
136. Misquote of Ps.78:2-3 13:35
137. Jesus visits Tyre which according to Ezekiel (26:14, 21; 27:36, 28:19) was not supposed to exist. 15:21
138. Jesus mistakenly tells his followers that he will return and establish his kingdom within their lifetime. 16:28
139. This verse claims that Jesus fulfils the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9. But this cannot be since the person referred to in Zechariah (see verses 10-13) was both a military leader and the king of an earthly kingdom. 21:4
140. Jesus predicts the end of the world within the lifetime of his listeners. 23:36
141. "What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? ... Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes." The end of the world will be signaled by wars, famines, disease, and earthquakes. 24:3, 7
142. Jesus says the gospel will be preached to all nations "and then shall the end come. Well according to Paul the gospel has been preached to everyone (Rom.10:18) yet the end hasn't come. 24:14
143. Jesus is a false prophet, since he predicts that the end of the world will come within the lifetimes of his disciples. The world of course didn't end then, and according to Ec.1:4 it never will end. 24:34
144. "But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." What scriptures? What prophets? There is no such prophecy in the Old Testament. 26:54-46
145. Jesus falsely prophesies that the high priest would see his second coming. 26:64
146. This is not a quote from Jeremiah, but a misquote of Zechariah (11:12-13). 27:9
147. Mark claims that John the Baptist fulfilled the prophecy given in Malachi (3:1, 4:1, 5). But the Malachi prophecy says that God will send Elijah before "the great and dreadful day of the LORD" in which the world will be consumed by fire. Yet John the Baptist flatly denied that he was Elijah (Elias) in John 1:21 and the earth was not destroyed after John's appearance. 1:2
148. Ezekiel (26:14, 21, 27:36) prophesied that Tyre would be completely destroyed, never to be built again. But it wasn't destroyed and continued to exist, as shown by this verse in which Jesus visits Tyre. 7:24, 31
149. Jesus falsely prophesies that the end of the world will come within his listeners' lifetimes. 9:1
150. Jesus shows that he is a false prophet by predicting his return and the end of the world within the lifetime of his listeners. 13:30
151. Jesus falsely prophesies that the high priest would see his second coming. 14:62
152. Jesus misquotes Deuteronomy by adding "only" to Dt.6:13. 4:8
153. "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me." These words were spoken by Isaiah and referred to Isaiah. They were not a prophecy about a future prophet, as Jesus claims here, where he supposedly read these verses in the synagogue while applying them to himself. 4:16-20 154. Jesus falsely predicts that some of his listeners would live to see him return and establish the kingdom of God. 9:27
155. Jesus prophesies that families will be divided because of him and his teachings. Sadly, this is one prophecy that has been fulfilled.12:52-53
156. Jesus says that all that he describes (his return, signs in the sun, moon, and stars, etc.) will occur within the within the lifetime of his listeners. 21:32
157. Jesus claims that his suffering and death were a fulfillment of prophecy. But there is no such prophecy in the Old Testament. 24:44, 46
158. Jesus says that "the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live." 5:25
159. Jesus claims that Moses wrote about him. Where? It's a shame he didn't give us chapter and verse. 5:46
160. Jesus says that those who believe in him will, as the scripture says, have living waters flowing out of their bellies. Well that sounds like fun, but there is no such scripture in the Bible. 7:38
161. Jesus falsely prophesies that "there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." This will never happen as long a Christian beliefs are based on the Bible. 10:16
162. This verse claims that Jesus fulfils the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9. But this cannot be since the person referred to in Zechariah (see verses 10-13) was both a military leader and the king of an earthly kingdom. 12:15
163. Verse 33 says that during Jesus' crucifixion, the soldiers didn't break his legs because he was already dead. Verse 36 claims that this fulfilled a prophecy: "Not a bone of him shall be broken." But there is no such prophecy. It is sometimes said that the prophecy appears in Ex.12:46, Num. 9:12 and Ps.34:20. This is not correct. Exodus 12:46 and Num.9:12 are not prophecies, they are commandments. The Israelites are told not to break the bones of the Passover lamb, and this is all it is about. And Psalm 34:20 seems to refer to righteous people in general (see verse 19, where a plural is used), not to make a prophecy about a specific person. 19:33, 36
164. Jesus implies that he will return to earth during the lifetime of John. 21:22
165. Peter says that their strange behavior (speaking in tongues, etc.) was to be expected since they were living in "the last days." 2:17
166. Peter claims that Dt.18:18-19 refers to Jesus, saying that those who refuse to follow him (all non-Christians) must be killed. 3:23
167. This verse admits that God's promise to Abraham was not fulfilled. (See Gen.12:7, 13:15, 15:18, and 17:8) 7:5
168. Ezekiel (26:14, 21; 27:36) prophesied that Tyre would be completely destroyed by Nebuchadrezzar, never to be built again. Yet it wasn't destroyed, as is evident from this verse. 12:20
169. Gen.49:10 says that all of Israel's kings will be from the tribe of Judah, yet we see in this verse that Israel's first king was from the tribe of Benjamin. 13:21
170. Paul quotes God as saying, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will." But no such quote can be found in the Old Testament. (Although 1 Sam.13:14 does refer to David as "a man after his [God's] own heart." And it makes some sense, too, since David was nearly as cruel as the biblical God.) 13:22
171. In one of the few times that Paul quotes Jesus, he attributes to him words that are not found in the gospels. 20:35
172. Ezekiel (26:14, 21; 27:36) prophesied that Tyre would be completely destroyed by Nebuchadrezzar, never to be built again. Yet it wasn't destroyed, as is evident from these verses. 21:3-4
173. These verses claim that Moses and the prophets prophesied that Jesus would suffer and rise from the dead. But in what scripture is such a prophecy made? 26:22-23
174. Misquote of Is.28:16. 9:33
175. Paul misquotes Dt.30:14, leaving off the words "that thou mayest do it" and adding "that is, the word of faith which we preach." By doing so he completely changed the meaning of quoted verse (that it is necessary to follow the Law) to support his doctrine of salvation by faith alone. 108:
176. Paul says that everyone, even in his day, had the gospel preached to them. Even the Native Americans, Asians, Pacific Islanders? In any case, if Paul is right about that, then Jesus is a false prophet, since he said he would return before the gospel was preached to everyone. (Mt.10:23) 10:18
177. Paul believed that the end of the world was coming soon. "The day is at hand." 13:11-12
178. Paul believed that Jesus would return and defeat Satan "shortly" -- within his own lifetime. 16:20
1 Corinthians
179. Paul tells the Corinthians to be good until "the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." (He expected Jesus to return within their lifetimes.) 1:7-8
180. Paul, like Jesus and the other New Testament writers, expects the end to come soon. "The time is short." So there's no time for sex or marriage since the world will be ending soon. 7:29
181. Paul says that the end of the world will come during his lifetime. 10:11, 15:51
182. "Whether there be prophecies, they shall fail." Paul prophesies that all prophecies will fail. But since this itself is a prophecy, it also will fail (if the prophecy is correct), making it a false prophecy. 13:8
183. These verses claim that the scriptures prophesied that Jesus would suffer, die, and be resurrected from the dead. But where are the prophecies that are referred to here? Hosea 6:2 perhaps? But this verse refers to the people living at the time (hence "us") and therefore cannot be fulfilled by the the death and resurrection of Jesus. 15:3-4
184. Misquote of Ps.68:18, which says: "Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men." The words and meaning of the psalm were changed from "received gifts" to "gave gifts". 4:8 Philippians
185. Paul tells the Philippians to be good "till the day of Christ." So he must have expected Jesus to return within their lifetimes. 1:10
186. "The Lord is at hand." Paul thought that the end was near and that Jesus would return soon after he wrote these words. 4:5
1 Thessalonians
187. Paul expected Jesus to return within the lifetime of his followers. 3:13
188. Paul thought he would live to see the rapture. 4:15, 17
189. Paul prays that the Thessalonians will be good until Jesus returns, implying that he expected this to happen within their lifetimes. 5:23
2 Thessalonians
190. The day of Christ is at hand? If Paul wrote this letter (and many scholars think he didn't1), then he is changing his mind (since writing 1 Thessalonians)about the timing of the Christ's return. The day of the Lord is no longer at hand. In fact it's nowhere near. Many things must happen first: there will be a great "falling away", a "man of sin" will be reveled, and Satan will show off his power by doing all kinds of signs and wonders.2:2-9
1 Timothy
191. "Keep this commandment ... until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ." The author expected Jesus to return within his lifetime. 6:14
192. The author of Hebrews believed that he was living in the "last days." 1:1-2
193. Misquote of Jeremiah 31:32 8:9
194. Jesus sacrificed himself "in the end of the world." 9:26
195. The author of Hebrews believed that Jesus would come "in a little while, and will not tarry." 10:37
196. In Genesis (13:15, 15:18, 17:8) and Exodus (32:13) God promises Abraham and his descendants "the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession." But here Paul admits that God's promise went unfulfilled. 11:9-13
197. James quotes a scripture that says, "The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy." But there is no such verse in the Bible. 4:5
198. James thought that Jesus would return soon. 5:8
1 Peter
199. Peter believed that he was living in the "last times." 1:5, 7, 20
200. "The end of all things is at hand." 4:7
2 Peter
201. "Where is the promise of his coming?" The author of 2 Peter is aware of the failed expectations of early believers. He knows that Jesus, who was to come soon, didn't come at all. Many have begun to ask, "Where is the promise of his coming?" He tries to cover for Jesus by claiming that "one day with the Lord is as a thousand years." 3:4
1 John
202. John thinks he is living in "the last times." He "knows" this because he sees so many antichrists around. 2:18, 4:3
203. John warns his followers to get ready because Jesus is coming soon. 2:28
204. John expects to live to see Jesus return. 3:2
205. Jude says Enoch, "the seventh from Adam", prophesied that God would come with 10,000 of his saints "to execute judgment upon all." But this prophecy is from the Book of Enoch, not from the Bible. 14-15
206. "Remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles" ... that they told you there should be mockers in the last time." The author of Jude thought he was living in "the last time." 17-18
207. John believed that the things that he wrote about would happen soon, within his own lifetime. After nearly 2000 years, believers still believe that "the time is at hand" and that the events described in Revelation will "shortly come to pass." 1:1, 3
208. "Every eye shall see him," including those who executed him. Everyone will "wail because of him." But millions have lived and died without ever seeing him coming "with clouds." 1:7
209. John quotes Jesus (1900 years ago) as saying, "Behold, I come quickly." 3:11, 22:7, 12, 20
210. "And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth...." To John, the stars are just little lights a few miles away that can easily fall to the earth.6:13
211. "And the name of the star is called Wormwood." Some believers say that the 1986 nuclear disaster at Chernobyl was the fulfillment of the third trumpet in 8:10-11. 8:10-11
212. "And there was no more sea." For an old sailor like me, this verse, if it were true, would be one of the saddest verses in the bible. 21:1
213. "Things which must shortly be done" All the crazy stuff in this book was supposed to happen soon. And crazy people today still expect it to happen soon. 22:6

Our esteemed Head of IT has just delivered to me 3 computers. I am told that they are the forerunner to another 120 that will be arriving in the next couple of weeks.
The intention is that at the new contact centre, each agent will have 3 screens, each powered by a separate computer*. Synergy (www.synergy-foss.org) will be used to allow control of all three computers from a single keyboard/mouse combo from the centre computer.
Whilst this will work I don't really want the user to have to login to the three separate computers. I would like the login to occur on the middle machine, and that login (Active Directory LDAP) to 'pass through' to the left and the right hand machines.
Any ideas?
*I am aware that a single computer with three screens would actually make more sense here, the decision has been made before I get stick my oar in.

Let $E$ be a completely metrizable separable topological space and $\mathscr E$ be its Borel $\sigma$-algebra. Consider a measurable map $F:E\to E$ such that
- if $f:E\to \mathbb R$ is continuous and bounded, then $f\circ F:E\to\mathbb R$ is continuous and bounded.
Let us say that the function $g$ is nice if:
$g$ is continuous and $\inf\limits_E g = 0$;
$\{g = 0\}:=\{x\in E: g(x) = 0\}$ is not empty;
there is $\delta>0$ such that for all $g(F(x))<g(x)$ whenever $g(x)<\delta$.
Claim 1: if $g$ is a nice function and $\{g = 0\}$ is compact, then $\rho(\cdot,\{g = 0\})$ is also a nice function for any metric $\rho$ on $E$ which agree with the given topology.
Unfortunately, I couldn't neither prove nor disprove this claim. I had an idea that if this claim can be disproved, it is sufficient to disprove a conequence of that:
Claim 2: if $A$ is a compact set s.t. $\rho(\cdot,A)$ is a nice function (i.e. it verifies the property 3.) then $\rho'(\cdot,A)$ is also nice whenever $\rho'\sim \rho$.
but for that one I also didn't manage to construct a counterexample. Any help is appreciated.

Marvin Mills, a native of Philadelphia, is organist at St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Kensington, Maryland. He has been music director of the acclaimed National Spiritual Ensemble, and guest artist with the Ritz Chamber Players, based in Jacksonville, Florida. Previous positions include Associate Minister of Music at National City Christian Church, Director of Music at All Souls Church, Unitarian, and University Organist at Howard University, all in Washington, DC.
Active with the District of Columbia Chapter of the American Guild of Organists since 1984, he has served as dean (1990-1992), board member, Foundation trustee, Regional Convention secretary, and chairman for regional and chapter competitions, exemplifying his commitment to the mission of the Guild and his belief in the expressive power of the organ as an instrument for use in worship and concert. He has also participated in the Guild's Pipe Organ Encounters for Youth and Adults as teacher, clinician and recitalist, helping all ages to experience various aspects of pipe organ study.
Mr. Mills has performed for numerous chapters of The American Guild of Organists and been a featured recitalist at several of its national conventions. He opened the 1989 Wendell P. Whalum Concert Series at Morehouse College, performing for the entire student body. Presented in recital by the Washington National Cathedral in observance of Black History Month 1989, he was invited back for its 1995 and 2002 Summer Festival Series.
As clinician, he has given workshops for the Unitarian Universalists Musician's Network, the Presbyterian Association of Musicians, Association of Disciples Musicians, and at the regional and chapter levels of the American Guild of Organists spanning topics from the Negro Spiritual and organ music of Black Composers, to hymn playing, organ accompaniment and organ repertoire. He participated in a day long seminar on the Sights and Sounds of the Pipe Organ sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute, focusing on the art of organ transcription using Moussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition as a model.
He has performed throughout the United States in such places as The Academy of Music, Philadelphia, The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and The Barns-Wolf Trap Farm Park in addition to colleges and universities. He has appeared as guest artist with numerous choral groups including the Concert Artists of Baltimore, the Washington Bach Consort, the Cathedral Choral Society, Fairfax Choral Society, MasterSingers of Wilmington (DE), and the Eastern Michigan University Chamber Choir. In the spring of 1992 Mr. Mills performed the complete organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach in a weekly series of fourteen programs on the 96 rank Rieger (Austria) organ at All Souls Church, Unitarian. He made his west coast debut at the Spreckles Organ Pavilion International Organ Summer Concert Series in Balboa Park, San Diego and his New York City recital debut in July 1993 at the Riverside Church, returning in 2003 and 2011. Concerto appearances include the Pittsburgh Symphony with conductor Isaiah Jackson, the Johns Hopkins Symphony and the Peabody Symphony. He has also performed with the Jacksonville Symphony in concertos by Handel, Rheinberger and Jongen as well as Hindemith's Concerto for Organ and Orchestra. During the inaugural festival of the Fred J. Cooper Memorial Organ, (built by Dobson Organ Builders, Op. 76), in Verizon Hall of the Kimmel Center, he was the first of five recitalists for the Saturday marathon.
Mr. Mills has been a featured artist at the Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival as keyboard artist (harpsichord/piano/organ), chamber musician and choral conductor – preparing the Festival Chorus for major works such as: Haydn's Creation, Mozart's Requiem, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Handel's Samson and Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem and many Bach cantatas. Active as a vocal coach/accompanist, he has worked with numerous singers and instrumentalists throughout the mid-Atlantic region. He can be heard as arranger and accompanist on a disc of spirituals with mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves, Angels Watching Over Me. His song for high voice and piano, On Virture, was commissioned by the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine for its Poets Corner celebrating 18th century poet Phyllis Wheatley. In February 2010 he made his theatrical conducting debut with the Washington Savoyards in its production of Scott Joplin's Treemonisha.

The Genz Benz GB1288T-UQ Uber Quad - named after it's unique, four speaker design. This compact, multi-driver cabinet features 4 separate drivers of varying sizes, which produce an incredible 3 dimensional tone.
The GB1288T-UQ Uber Quad cabinet is excellent for bassists using extended range 6 and 7 string instruments. It has a signature tone however, that is ideal for any bassist looking to add a new element of depth, warmth and clarity to their tone. The all important mid range is handled by the two 8 inch Neodymium speakers in separate, sealed internal enclosures providing thick, tight, warm mids without honk or harshness. These separate chambers are extremely compact which enhances the response and tight suspension of the driver's mechanical performance.
The GB1288T-UQ Uber Quad is a 600 watt 8 ohm cabinet that sounds great on its own but can be an impressive stack when using 2 Uber Quads or when stacked with a GB 115T-UB.
As part of the Uber Bass series the cabinet features a distinctive nubby vinyl along with our classic grille and silver piping, Edge-Lift handles, Speakon and 1/4 inch inputs, 100 Watt Tweeter Level control and crossover design based on a combination of electronic and electro-acoustic principals. This yields a combination of crossover slopes that result in smooth multi- dimensional composite acoustic response.
All Genz Benz bass cabinets offer 1/4 inch and Speakon connections, along with a variable tweeter level control for flexible connection options and additional tone shaping.
Parallel Inputs - Two 1/4 inch full range inputs are provided. Either one may be used for input from the bass amp. Use these two inputs when 'daisy-chaining' 2 cabinets together.
Full Range Speakon Input - Genz Benz recommends using this input with the appropriate cable when connecting to a high powered bass amp - 400 watts or more.
Tweeter Level Control
This controls the amount of signal to the tweeter. Genz Benz recommends starting with the control at 50 percent. Then balance the tweeter output to the cabinet's speaker output in combination with your instrument's pick-up tone and amplifier clarity.

A fun, scenic ridge traverse with nice views of the Palisades. The route itself is mostly 3rd and 4th class, with the occasional 5th class section. A long hike in.
We camped at the base of Mt. Gayley at ~12,000+ at the edge of the glacial moraine and that served us well.

|Just up the trail from sam mack meadows, there are a series of broken, vegetated ledges that are protected and work great as bivy spots. They're off trail to the right, as you staircase through the treeline. Check em out if the sun is low or to save energy for the next day.

|What a stellar route! Best summit view I've yet to see. Despite the route, I have to say that my partner and I had a ridiculous time trying to locate the this-is-where-you-descend cairn. We finally found it, but it was far from being what I expected. We were looking for what we thought was supposed to be a "substantial" cairn. While there's no doubt most cairns don't have seven stones, I'm not quite sure that seven genuinely counts as substantial. Oh well, no biggie. I suppose that that's just a part of what we do and why we do it: it's the nature of alpinism and makes it an adventure.

|Find your way to the secret corner below the crux and experience some of the best climbing on the route. Climbing this adds 20-30 feet of steep finger and hand jamming. Climbed this by mistake the first time I climbed this route and thought that it felt stout for 5.7. Second time, the leader bypassed this section and went the "normal" way and I understood why I had thought the route was stout.

Fun route but very inconsistent climbing. We did find that there are some nice short (10-15') finger crack sections near the top. This can easily be bypassed but they add some fun movement at 14,100'.
Also, make a careful inspection of any rap slings before you use them if rapping into the L-shaped couloir from the notch between Sill and Apex peak. We found some that looked new but we were able to literally pull them out of the boulders they were around with just a few tugs. Maybe this was a result of some rockfall because I can't imagine someone rapped off of them.

We used our axes for the approach/descent but no need for crampons as of 6/22. Highly recommend rapping to the snow on descent (webbing/ring is in great shape), as there are some extremely loose death flakes (2 mini-fridge sized flakes were trundled). Down climbing those flakes would have been a disaster.
Used the following rack to simul in one push- singles of blue alien to BD #3, medium - large nuts, 15 runners.

Gran Turismo 6 revs up for the PS4
Rumours, like fans, are rife
JAPANESE GAMING HOUSE Sony will not confirm that it is about to announce the next installment in its drive very fast game, Gran Turismo.
The release, which will be the sixth in a series, is expected to be announced this month, and possibly on 15 May.
Sony could not confirm this to us, but apparently some invitations have gone out for the event already.
The event apparently will be hosted at the Silverstone race track and could feature such luminaries as series designer Kazunori Yamachi.
Gran Turismo appeared in 1997 and is in its 16th year as a game now. It is firmly a Playstation exclusive. The talk is that this game will appear soon on the PS3, but it is far more likely that it is being primed for Sony's next generation console, the PS4.
The first game took five years to complete, having been started on by Yamachi in 1992. The last version, Gran Turismo 5, was released in 2010. It has over 81 tracks, which is a huge leap from the 11 that the debut title offered.
Forum Neogaf has a copy of the invitation, and Sony has released a video to celebrate the 15 year anniversary.
The invitation promises that the May Silverstone event will be both a celebration of the game titles and a look at their future. A Twitter hashtag, #15yearsofGT is also mentioned. Fans of the game are advised to keep one eye on that and one on the road.
As Sony said, "Something big is happening at Silverstone on 15 May." µ

Spilled plans for Andi Dorfman's wedding are in the works, according to the newest information out on "The Bachelorette" 2014 spoilers. What typed of wedding will the former district attorney have? Who does she actually get engaged to?
In an exclusive out by Life and Style, Celebrity Dirty Laundry reports July 18 what the magazine wrote about Andi and her fiance's wedding plans. The L&S source shares:
"They spend night after night on the phone together, talking about themes, colors and flowers. Andi wants a traditional wedding with Southern flair. They even send each other pictures of their ideas!"
The magazine captions their cover story as, "$1 Million Dollar TV Wedding."
According to a Christian Post report, finalist, Josh Murray has already proposed to Dorfman with a $100,000 diamond ring. The site also references the insider who spoke with L&S by saying:
"It is absolutely stunning. He was excited, but seriously shaking … he was so nervous. Andi thought it was adorable."
During their overnight date in the Dominican Republic on "The Bachelorette," Andi and Josh spent a lot of time getting to know one another, as indicated by the magazine's source. Apparently, they "didn't do anything" other than get to know each other. "The Bachelorette" couple cuddled, read, and talked. The insider reveals:
"They looked very relaxed and comfortable, and obviously affectionate. They try to see each other as much as they can. They even went to Mexico together on a romantic trip."
Both Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray live in Georgia, so it may have been trickier-- or easier -- for ABC to keep their status a secret from viewers as the show aired. The long-distance hasn't been an issue, so it would seem less moving them around would be unnecessary. Just to be safe, they were probably shuffled around in case eager "Bachelorette" spies were trying to get anything they could on the two in Atlanta.
Do you hope Andi and Josh have a TV wedding like Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici just did?
"The Bachelorette" 2014 finale airs Monday, July 28 at 8 p.m., ET/PT on ABC.

Redding fire crews were busy Sunday night battling a fire that broke out in some dry grass and brush in a field behind homes on Valley Brook Drive and Ridge Road.
The fire came within feet of several homes in the area.
The fire was reported at 7:30 p.m. and was contained at 7:50 p.m.
No homes were damaged and no one was hurt.
Fire officials on scene said an area in the fire's path had been cleared of dry brush and that defensible space helped stop the fire from spreading further.
How the blaze started is under investigation.

Artist's Statement
Touching clay for the first time was my epiphany. The physical, sensual, direct qualities of this material have challenged me for the past thirty-three years. While the majority of my work has been abstract, there have been periods interspersed with figurative and narrative series. When my life was in trauma and turmoil, my work served as catharsis. When my emotional life is stable, my work has no need for imagery or text.
My preferred method of creating is to work in a spontaneous manner to try to capture information from my subconscious. I also create works for public commissions and to honor people I respect. For "Tribute", the ceramic hard hats, my inspiration came from my grand-dad's oil field hard hat. He worked as a rough neck, driller and tool pusher, before he started his own small drilling company. He had little education, but was extremely intelligent, ethical, hardworking and kind. My dad, his only son, also worked in the oil industry, as a Geologist. My respect, admiration and love for him is beyond measure. My tribute to him are the ceramic drill bits. "Out of the Depths" will be a combination of these tributes, a reference to my spiritual beliefs and a vehicle to draw attention to our continuing need to protect our environment.
My interest in mythology, illusions and psychology all inspire my work. When in a period of introspection my work is quiet and contemplative. When issues arise that concern me I use my work to address them. Now I am balancing concerns, turning back to the sensual and mysterious, celebrating the unknown, cherishing the moment and anticipating life's surprises.

Adena writes to us in search of the perfect New Year's Eve frock!
1. What size (shoe or dress) are you?
Dress size 8
2. What is your maximum budget?
$200 tops for a dress
3. If this is for a wedding or event (i.e. a party, a birthday), when IS the event?
New Years Eve
4. If this is for a gift for a person, please tell us two things they like, and
conversely, two things they DON'T like.
This would be for me. I love well-tailored, knee-length, classy, yet sassy dresses. I have a big butt and a small chest, so I'd like to tone down the former and play up the latter.
5. What are you looking for? Give us specifics!!!
This St. John sparkly dress - I love the length, the neckline (I've got scars across my chest that I'd rather hide under a neckline exactly like this), the color, and the style. It's absolutely perfect in every way... except the price.
6. Please tell us if there's something you really don't like.
I don't like plunging necklines, super short, or strapless dresses. I love Kate Middleton's style of classy, elegant, yet beautiful.
Dearest Adena! Carlota here! You have great taste; that St. John dress is stunning. Don't worry; we'll find something just as nice if not nicer. XOXO

Last week, I featured those exciting areas Nancy and I visited in the northern section of Death Valley. Today's article will introduce you to part of the southeast area with Texas Springs Campground serving as our base camp.
We departed from the Mesquite campground on our fourth day to the Texas Springs campground located outside of Furnace Creek. This year the campground was not crowded and I found an excellent space under a huge desert cedar tree for shade. Afternoons in the valley during April can rise to more than 100 degrees.
The following morning we departed from our campground and drove north from Furnace Creek on Highway 190 -- Then turned right on Highway 374 into Nevada before arriving at the junction of Titus Canyon Road. This 17 mile one way dirt road follows back into California then through the mountains into Death Valley.
Like most desert roads, they can be unforgiving, but our high clearance Jeep vehicle maneuvered this winding and steep road without a problem. While driving through the surrounding mountains one could see the colored layers of rock deposits. Millions of years of erosion have exposed these colorful deposits which look like horizontal painted lines.
If one looks closely while driving through these deep valleys, the mountain sides reveal old mine entrances and directly below are the tailing from those mines operated by the early miners. We did stop at a few old mines to inspect them and take a few photos.
The ghost town of Leadfield started mining in 1906 but didn't reach its hay-day until 1926. In 1927 when the main shaft dried up, those 1,749 housing lots became useless and the town gradually faded away. Today, all that remains are a few wooden structures and many building foundations. Tailings from each mine could be seen on the mountain side surrounding this old town. These old mine shafts were sealed with steel barricades just inside the entrances. All along the dried stream or washes are these multiple colored rocks which are ideal for photo opportunities.
At the gate which marks the end of this desert road we stopped and began our hike into Fall Canyon. This slightly up-hill trek took us through narrow canyons that wondered west into the same steep mountains that we had driven through earlier. At one isolated area within this remote canyon, we were rewarded with canyon walls laced with colored marble. Yes it was hotter within those canyons with the temperature rising over 100 degrees.
The following morning before daybreak we drove to the Sand Dunes located east of Furnace Creek. We captured another photo opportunity watching the shadows move across the sand as the sun peaked over the eastern mountains.
On our final morning we drove to the Eagle Borax Works just west of Furnace Creek. Our hike will be through the dried salt basin to attempt a 360 degree loupe around the south facing mountain.
We experienced great distant views of this enormous valley as the trail maneuvered to the mountains south side. Just before the junction point of completing this two hour loupe, we discovered an old dump to which the only item of interests was a discarded 1920s touring car. I couldn't identify the make because time and erosion was not very forgiving between the rust and missing parts.
Now keep in mind that any hike in Death Valley is an experience. The spring and fall are the ideal times to visit because of cooler temperatures.

Finally got a beats page up on here. I'll have around 5-10 beats on it at any given time, and I'll try to switch em around as I make new ones since I don't want to swamp the site with a couple of hundred beats heh. And I do have a soundclick page where more of em can be heard… and of course the ol' myspace.
Y'all can click the image above or any of the links spread all over to check it out. I also enabled comments on that page so feel free to drop me a line (comments are moderated tho).
And on another note.. since I now run this page alone (…again) I'll probably try and re-vamp it into more my page instead of a sowl one. I'll keep the name tho.. Sowl Productions, I still like it and it works even if the name hold no real meaning anymore.
So maybe I'll put up some remixes on a page and maybe even fire off a freebeat or two once in a while, but we'll see about that hehe.
Cheers & Stay Up!

I guess I'm normal for my age.
Saturday, May 11, 2013
I could have many more things wrong with me and thinking about the few things I have been complaining about, they're pretty minor and normal for my age. I'm just waiting for the bloodwork to come back, and fortunately I can look it up online to get my results faster than I used to.
The funny thing is that that's the most I've been felt up that much by a man in a while. Yep, I guess that's what happens when you've been married for a while (it will be 10 years next month).
My doctor did listen to me a little, but it seems that they only address the first thing you bring up. I was the third woman complaining about our periods being that much closer each month. I'm a full 3 days quicker now than I was 3 years ago. I didn't realize that you get more as you get older! I want less...
Weight loss did come up and he praised me for losing the 50 pounds and asked me how I felt now. We discussed how much easier it is to do things and how much stronger I've become. It's just so much easier to do things when you become active and healthy.
I did not like having to fast until lunchtime. I do not do well doing that. I made the decision to have McDonalds for lunch and I was so hungry that I ate both the sandwich I ordered for myself and nearly all the fries I tried to split with my husband (I caught his lunch break).
We also had pizza last night, but I was satisfied with 2 slices of the regular pizza and 2 slices of the dessert pizza I had. It could have been so much worse, but fortunately I was not as ravenous by then.
I think the higher number on the scale this morning is from all the salt in those meals.
I ended the day watching a documentary last night, "Hungry for Change". It was probably one of the best ones. It wasn't pushing a particular type of eating style on you, like vegetarian or only juicing, it did bring up the juicing thing, but it was basically telling you to eat right and that sugar is bad for you, but not really pushing it hard, just telling you that refined foods are the things that are really concentrated and not valuable in the way of giving you nutrients. America is the land of overfed/undernourished people. We eat plenty of calories, but get no real vitamins in our diets.
I'm going to go into certain parts of the ingredients they talked about and other ones I want to look into soon, talking about one per blog, just because I want to do the research on the bad "shelf-life extending" ingredients put into "food-like" products. I wasn't aware of all the names certain ingredients could be listed as on the labels and I thought I had been avoiding some things better than I am. I'll be sad that I have to get rid of more foods out of my diet again. I don't want to be eating "food-like" products, I want to be injesting real foods.
Today's Holidays: National 'Twilight Zone' Day, World Belly Dance Day, National Windmill Day, National Train Day, and Eat What You Want Day. (As far as I'm concerned I eat what I want every day, I just don't overeat anything each day.)

I'm glad to hear things worked out and you didn't come away feeling like you needed a whole new doctor. I hate to tell you, but my periods were lasting nearly 14 days and then I would be lucky if I had 2 weeks without one. We're all different, but keep tabs on what's happening and keep your dr. informed.
I'm looking into your "shelf-life" blogs!

Mother Nature likes to play tricks on us, I think. I was always very irregular, usually going for months between periods. Then when I my mid-40s I started getting more and more regular. By 50 I was almost like clockwork, when it should've been ending! In my mid-50s they started slowing down again. I finally officially hit menopause (defined as going a full year without a period) about 6 months ago. Halleluia!

Oh god I hope that my periods don't get closer together as I age. My entire life they've been irregular unless I've been on birth control, sometimes coming after only 20 days, sometimes 26, and only very rarely 28 or more. I get 15-16 a year! :( I definitely don't need more!!

You are doing great! Always great to hear the doctor tell you you are doing a great job with your weight huh.

That's what I've been concentrating on: eating real food. As little out of a can or box as possible. All those things have too much sugar and/or salt. I'm certainly not perfect, but I try to eat real. That's why I love SP, they don't try to get you to eat all those weird things, or completely cut something out. That's just not normal, nor can you stick with it.
I think I'll celebrate National Windmill Day. Sounds fun. We have a couple out back (fake little ones).

I had to fast yesterday too for a blood test, and I hate that. It's hard to control your eating when you let yourself get too hungry. It sounds like you are doing well! Glad to hear it!

Make a list of questions, pull it out and ask the first one, write down the answer and ask the next. This helps keep both of you on track. Think about when your kids come running in and ask you 3 questions in quick succession. Which one do you answer? Glad the results were normal.

If your doctor doesn't address more than the 1st item I would politely ask him (I have in the past) well what about.... Sometimes they need a reminder that your in there for more than 1 thing. Hope you had one of the 1st appointments of the day. I try to insist they do that. I have low blood sugar and can get pretty low if they expect me to wait too long to eat.
Our school is almost done. I hope you plan to spend some time playing with your kids which will be a fun way to get more pounds off.

Teriyaki sauce is an ingredient often found in Asian recipes; however, did you know the term teriyaki actually refers to a method of cooking?
The term is thought to have originated in Japan around the 17th century. It is one of three cooking terms – with yakitori and sukiyaki – which are internationally well known. The common denominator in each is "yaki", meaning "grilled." Surprisingly enough, teriyaki sauce is believed to have originated outside of Japan.
It is believed teriyaki sauce originated in Hawaii when early Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii and created a distinctive marinade using local products like pineapple juice, which they blended with soy sauce. Over time, the sauce most people refer to as teriyaki was born. Its ingredients are brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic, mirin (rice wine), sake, soy sauce and sugar.
A recipe using teriyaki sauce is Asian-spiced cashew-chicken piadinis. It was the 2010 Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest winner for Brett Youmans of Reading, PA. If you like Asian recipes, http://www.asianonlinerecipes.com/rss/index.php just may be to your liking.
- 1 package (6 oz) refrigerated grilled chicken breast strips or 6 oz cooked chicken breast, finely chopped
- ⅓ cup chopped green onions (about 5 medium)
- ¼ cup chopped cashews, halves and pieces
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons grated gingerroot*
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- ⅓ cup loosely packed, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 can (11 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated thin pizza crust
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, if desired
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper or spray with Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray.
- In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook chopped chicken, onions, cashews, teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic and gingerroot over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated.
- Stir in coleslaw mix; cook about 2 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in 1/3 cup cilantro. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- Unroll pizza crust dough. Starting at center, press dough into 16x12-inch rectangle. Cut rectangle into 12 (4-inch) squares (3 rows lengthwise and 4 rows crosswise).
- Working with 1 dough square at a time, spoon slightly less than ¼ cup chicken mixture onto center. Fold 1 corner of square over filling; bring opposite corner over first corner, tucking under roll to seal. Leave other ends open. Place on cookie sheet.
- In small bowl, beat egg and water until well blended; lightly brush over piadinis.
- Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
- Garnish each piadini with 1/4 teaspoon cilantro. Serve warm.
*Refrigerated ground fresh ginger in a tube or jar can be substituted for the fresh gingerroot.

Last year a Legacy Farms developer was authorized to trap and kill more than 40 beavers that were building a dam near a Hopkinton, Mass. housing development. The dam was causing flooding, which the developer, Roy MacDowell, claimed was endangering the homes being built or about to be built, according to the Metro West Daily News.
Now the developer has to come up with a legitimate plan to manage the beavers after a dam was dismantled without the town's authorization.
Though MacDowell claims to have no knowledge of how the dam was taken down, it was definitely dismantled by humans and not beavers, according to Donald MacAdam, Hopkinton's conservation administrator.
Taking down the dam alters the resource area, which needs to be approved by the town. A management plan must be in place to deal with any future, possible beaver problems.
The dismantling of the dam has not caused any problems to date. Though the Conservation Commission recommends breaking through the dams every summer, this particular dam came down before summer arrived.
When Malcolm Speicher was hired to trap the beavers at the end of last year, devices were installed to help keep the water flowing through the dams.
MacDowell argues that beaver dams are responsible for destroying forests, roads and homes. He will be working with an outside company to come up with a plan to manage the beavers in the area.

Yes. Time again for our 12 Days of Tax Deductions. It's our way of making sense of the tax deductions, credits and breaks political leaders are sorting through as they try to wrestle more revenue out of the tax code.
Today, we look at the Health Savings Account deduction. Not to be confused with Flexible Spending Accounts, which are offered in workplaces.
GREENE: Health Savings Accounts started in 2004. They're only for people with cheaper health insurance plans that carry higher deductibles than standard plans. So HSAs are a way for people to save money to pay those higher deductibles.
MONTAGNE: You can think of it as a retirement savings account. You put pretax money into the HSA account, reducing your gross income, and that money can earn interest.
Here's how Barbara Weltman explains it. She's contributing editor to J.K. Lasser's "Your Income Tax 2013."
BARBARA WELTMAN: The amount in the savings account can be taken out to pay for un-reimbursed medical expenses on a tax free basis. The earnings on this account accrue on a tax deferred basis. And you get to deduct it up front. This is the only triple tax benefit in the law.
GREENE: About 14 million people are enrolled in HSAs, at last count, and their deductions mean that the government loses about $3 billion in tax revenue.
MONTAGNE: And the government is about to lose more on that deduction, because starting next year, contribution limits will rise to a top amount of $3,250 for individuals, and $6,450 for families.
Tomorrow, we talk about a tax credit that's critical for the working poor.

The key driver in network convergence is the accelerating move from last-generation technologies like TDM for voice and ATM for data to a more consolidated network running on an IP, Ethernet and an optical foundation.
The result is improved flexibility and cost of today's networks. It is also enabling networks to be much more application - and service-focused - a key requirement for carriers to deliver Web and cloud services online, not to mention the IP mobile apps and services delivered over today's 3G and tomorrow's 4G networks. This series of sessions focuses on services and applications relating to converged networks.

Security Management has always been an important component of network operations. In today's growing cyber world, where a nation's vital communications and utilities infrastructure can be brought down in minutes by hostile attacks, the need for critical infrastructure protection (CIP) and advanced cyber security is at an all-time high. The risks are far greater than ever before because dependencies, threats and consequences have become greater.
This Educational Track is designed to offer information and education on standards-based frameworks (information, process, application, and integration), technology solutions and business best practices to meet the evolving cyber threat.

As a two-way digital communications network, the network connecting smart meters is destined to control appliances at consumers' homes, which saves energy and can reduce cost. In the energy network itself, it controls demand and response, grid automation and many more Smart Grid applications, such as the integration of the electric vehicles, or renewable energy sources into the grid.
The Smart Grid presents a unique opportunity for telecoms operators to become established players in the electricity value chain, although the structure of the Smart Grid market is far more complex than that of telecoms operators' traditional markets. Careful preparation and understanding of the market dynamics, technology considerations and expectations of the energy services market – for both utilities and telecom operations – make this is an important educational track to attend.
