Questions and Answers on the Trinity
25. How many Persons are there in God?
In God there are three divine Persons--the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
(a) Unaided by divine revelation, the human mind could not know the existence of the Blessed Trinity because it is a supernatural mystery.3 Even after God has revealed the existence of the Blessed Trinity, we cannot understand it fully. When we believe, on the word of God, that there are three Persons in one God, we do not believe that three Persons are one Person, or that three gods are one God; this would be a contradiction.
26. Is the Father God?
The Father is God and the first Person of the Blessed Trinity.
(a) The first Person of the Blessed Trinity is called the Father because from all eternity He begets the second Person, His only-begotten Son.
(b) God the Father is called the first Person not because He is greater or older than the other two Persons, but because He is unbegotten.
27. Is the Son God?
The Son is God and the second Person of the Blessed Trinity.
(a) The second Person of the Blessed Trinity is called the Son because from all eternity, He is the only begotten of the Father. Proceeding from the Father, the Son is called the Divine Word or the Wisdom of the Father.
28. Is the Holy Ghost God?
The Holy Ghost is God and the third Person of the Blessed Trinity.
(a) The third Person of the Blessed Trinity is called the Holy Ghost because from all eternity He is breathed forth, as it were, by the Father and the Son. Proceeding from the Father and the Son, He is called the Gift or Love of the Father and the Son.
(b) The word "Ghost" applied to the third Person means "Spirit."
29. What do we mean by the Blessed Trinity?
By the Blessed Trinity we mean one and the same God in three divine Persons.
30. Are the three divine Persons really distinct from one another?
The three divine Persons are really distinct from one another.
(a) Although the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are distinct Persons, they are not distinct in nature. The nature of the Father is entirely the nature of the Son; and the nature of the Father and the Son is entirely the nature of the Holy Ghost.
31. Are the three divine Persons perfectly equal to one another?
The three divine Persons are perfectly equal to one another, because all are one and the same God.
(a) No one of the three Persons precedes the others in time or in power, but all are equally eternal and all-powerful because they have the same divine nature.
32. How are the three divine Persons, though really distinct from one another, one and the same God?
The three divine Persons, though really distinct from one another, are one and the same God because all have one and the same divine nature.
(a) Because the three divine Persons have one and the same divine nature, they have the same perfections and the same external works are produced by them. But in order that we may better know the three divine Persons, certain perfections and works are attributed to each Person; for example, omnipotence and the works of omnipotence, such as creation, to the Father; wisdom and the works of wisdom, such as enlightenment, to the Son, love and the works of love, such as sanctification, to the Holy Ghost.
33. Can we fully understand how the three divine Persons, though really distinct from one another, are one and the same God?
We cannot fully understand how the three divine Persons, though really distinct from one another, are one and the same God because this is a supernatural mystery.
34. What is a supernatural mystery?
A supernatural mystery is a truth which we cannot fully understand, but which we firmly believe because we have God's word for it.
(a) In addition to those truths which can be attained by man's natural reason, there are certain mysteries hidden in God which we cannot know without divine revelation, but which we must believe because God has revealed them. Divine mysteries by their very nature are far above the power of human understanding and even when revealed and accepted on faith they remain obscure during our life on earth. To understand these things fully, a finite mind would have to comprehend the infinite.
(b) In heaven there will be a fuller understanding of these mysteries, but never an infinite comprehension of them.
It is reasonable to believe supernatural mysteries revealed by God because He can neither deceive nor be deceived. In our everyday life we believe many things on the word of human beings even though at times they deceive or are deceived.

Trinity Ping!
19h Go, therefore,* and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
20i teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.* And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
Amen to the most impossible concept to understand.
Thank you Salvation...
It is a fact that anyone denying the Trinity is not a Christian...
Looks simple enough 1x1x1=1
Good way to put it. Thanks for that.
* [28:18] All power…me: the Greek word here translated power is the same as that found in the LXX translation of Dn 7:13–14 where one "like a son of man" is given power and an everlasting kingdom by God. The risen Jesus here claims universal power, i.e., in heaven and on earth.
* [28:19] Therefore: since universal power belongs to the risen Jesus (Mt 28:18), he gives the eleven a mission that is universal. They are to make disciples of all nations. While all nations is understood by some scholars as referring only to all Gentiles, it is probable that it included the Jews as well. Baptizing them: baptism is the means of entrance into the community of the risen one, the Church. In the name of the Father…holy Spirit: this is perhaps the clearest expression in the New Testament of trinitarian belief. It may have been the baptismal formula of Matthew's church, but primarily it designates the effect of baptism, the union of the one baptized with the Father, Son, and holy Spirit.
* [28:20] All that I have commanded you: the moral teaching found in this gospel, preeminently that of the Sermon on the Mount (Mt 5–7). The commandments of Jesus are the standard of Christian conduct, not the Mosaic law as such, even though some of the Mosaic commandments have now been invested with the authority of Jesus. Behold, I am with you always: the promise of Jesus' real though invisible presence echoes the name Emmanuel given to him in the infancy narrative; see note on Mt 1:23. End of the age: see notes on Mt 13:39 and Mt 24:3.
In what year was the Trinity accepted as doctrine in the Roman Catholic Church?
In the article some references to the Old Testament too.
The Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of the Christian religion — the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these Three Persons being truly distinct one from another.
Thus, in the words of the Athanasian Creed: "the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God." In this Trinity of Persons the Son is begotten of the Father by an eternal generation, and the Holy Spirit proceeds by an eternal procession from the Father and the Son. Yet, notwithstanding this difference as to origin, the Persons are co-eternal and co-equal: all alike are uncreated and omnipotent. This, the Church teaches, is the revelation regarding God's nature which Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came upon earth to deliver to the world: and which she proposes to man as the foundation of her whole dogmatic system.
In Scripture there is as yet no single term by which the Three Divine Persons are denoted together. The word trias (of which the Latin trinitas is a translation) is first found in Theophilus of Antioch about A.D. 180. He speaks of "the Trinity of God [the Father], His Word and His Wisdom (To Autolycus II.15). The term may, of course, have been in use before his time. Afterwards it appears in its Latin form of trinitas in Tertullian (On Pudicity 21). In the next century the word is in general use. It is found in many passages of Origen ("In Ps. xvii", 15). The first creed in which it appears is that of Origen's pupil, Gregory Thaumaturgus. In his Ekthesis tes pisteos composed between 260 and 270, he writes: .....continue reading at the link above.
Agreeing with the thesis (to wit, the truth of the Triune Godhead, as revealed in Scripture) of this post could in some situations actually get us all killed by al-Qaeda and friends in Syria today.
Muslims view the belief in the Trinity as polytheism — a throat-slitting/beheading offense, naturally.
So much for "tolerance."
That is why I am so glad that so many in the current Administration and Congress are speaking out so vociferously against the wholesale persecution of Christians BY MUSLIMS (this needs to be articulated) in the Middle East at this time! /sarc
P.S. I am a Protestant, but the Doctrine of the Trinity is one area in which Catholic and Protestant theology converge.
The trinity is mentioned in the Didache.
Try this — 50 AD — while the Apostles were still alive.
In Bishop Romney's religion they are separate gods, and Mitt Romney himself will become a God as well.
Jehovah's Witnesses and the Trinity
[My attempt to explain the "break" in the Trinity]
I beg your pardon,
And the footnotes below that with other Scripture references.
More biblical ignorance put out by the Catholic religion...The funny part is that it is supposed to be true because some guy put on a crown and a fancy robe and claimed it is true...And the sheeple said, amen...
Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
So which person is John speaking to here??? The Father, or Jesus???
There are 3 persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit...There are 3 Lords, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit...Yet there is one Lord...
And there is one person; God...
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
All the same person, with different forms... 3 persons=1 person...
Gen_1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Jesus was the Creator, yet God was the Creator...1 person...
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
In the FORM of God, not the nature of God...
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
This says that the Earth and everything in it was created by and for Jesus...
Who is the creator, the person of the Father or the person of Jesus??? Your religion says it was the Father...The scriptures say it was the Father AND the Son and the HOly Spirit...But yet it was created by the person of God...
When we believe, on the word of God, that there are three Persons in one God, we do not believe that three Persons are one Person, or that three gods are one God; this would be a contradiction.
The lack of spiritual understanding and belief does not constitute a contradiction...
Not ALL protestants, see post #16. If you stick around here long enough you will see some "interesting" points of view.
**In the FORM of God, not the nature of God...**
This is so wrong. Jesus had two natures, a divine nature and a human nature, fully God and fully man.
Why are you and your religion right but the bibles so wrong???
No point of view at all...The bible doesn't afford us a point of view...It's Bible...
The Bible tells us that.
Read St. Paul.
Hi there Salvation,
I'm very curious as to why our Heavenly Father is referred to as a "person"?
I guess the main reason being that I asked this question is because it is my understanding from Scripture that God is a Spirit - (John 4:24).
Yet, a "person" = a human being.
Also, since God is a Spirit, His Spirit is also Holy too.
But I see in this presentation that the Holy Spirit is also being called a "person".
Is it just me, or does anyone else see something just ain't right with using this type of terminology?
And "Salvation", I don't mean any harm, or attack.
I've been studying on my own for quite some time now, and I when I'm moved to ask questions about things that don't make sense to me, I get moving, regardless of how silly I might look ... smiles
I understand where you are coming from. No harm done at all.
You have a valid point about God the Father, yet God the Father talked with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden when they tried to hide from him.
I'm wondering if taking on the human aspects makes the Scripture more understandable.
Of course Christ was fully God and fully man.
And I have always thought of the Holy Spirit as spirit too — but often moving other people to act in our lives.
Good discussion points, thank you.
And I may be totally wrong, because I definitely am not a theologian. LOL!
Thank you so much for understanding and responding so kindly.
I so look forward to the return of our LORD.
I can picture all of ourselves just kneeling beside Him, and asking Him all these questions like little children ... what a glorious day that will be ... smiles
HaHa...Nice try but I just posted from Paul and you said he was wrong...Paul the apostle is wrong...And your religion is correct...
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Why is your interpretation of the Bible right, and that of 1.3 billion Christians (and I'm only counting Catholics and Orthodox, though the vast majority of Protestants agree with us and not with you on this topic) alive right now, and the >1 billion who have gone before us, wrong?
Truth isn't decided by majority vote, but OTOH if you're a minority of one or two against billions spread out over 2000 years, you're probably wrong. In fact, you're probably way off in the high weeds.
No, it's technical metaphysical terminology, and translated from Greek, to boot. A "person" is defined as an "individual substance of a rational nature". Think of it as a rational entity who can be identified (and therefore named) uniquely. Human beings are persons, angels are persons (but not human persons; they're angelic persons), and God is three divine persons in one divine substance.
Because they are all sheeple and believe anything the guy in the fishhat says...
Truth isn't decided by majority vote, but OTOH if you're a minority of one or two against billions spread out over 2000 years, you're probably wrong. In fact, you're probably way off in the high weeds.
If I am in a minority, there are at least 2 of us, me and God...
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
If you can't figure out what that verse says, I'd say you shouldn't be on this forumn, or any forumn...Or you shoud stick to posting cartoons...They should never have let you out of elementary school...

Not by any definition I could find...
This is a perfect example of the 'stuff' you guys cook up based on man's flawed wisdom...And Catholics just lay down and believe you...Why??? I guess because someone who sounds intelligent said it...
Metaphysics??? Metaphysics is pure philosophy...Man's flawed wisdom...There's nothing philosophical about God...God is not a philosophy...
It is not easy to say what metaphysics is. Ancient and Medieval philosophers might have said that metaphysics was, like chemistry or astrology, to be defined by its subject matter: metaphysics was the science that studied being as such or the first causes of things or things that do not change. It is no longer possible to define metaphysics that way, and for two reasons. First, a philosopher who denied the existence of those things that had once been seen as constituting the subject-matter of metaphysicsfirst causes or unchanging thingswould now be considered to be making thereby a metaphysical assertion. Secondly, there are many philosophical problems that are now considered to be metaphysical problems (or at least partly metaphysical problems) that are in no way related to first causes or unchanging things; the problem of free will, for example, or the problem of the mental and the physical from here
A substance is physical/matter...Therefore if God is a substance, God is physical, a person...
Person=prosōpon=the front (as being towards view), that is, the countenance, aspect, appearance, surface; by implication presence, person:
That gives us 4 in what used to be a Trinity, 5 if you include Mary...
The Bible reveals that the person of God is within the Godhead. The Godhead is known as the holy Trinity. All of God is in the Godhead.
The fullness of the person of God was in Jesus Christ. All of God was in the person of the Lord Jesus. He was the complete fullness of the Godhead. So it has to be 3 divine persons in 1 divine person...
Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
The Father and the Holy Spirit are within Jesus...
Revelation 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
(3) And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
(9) And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
(10) The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne,
They worshiped God...They did not worship the substance that was outside the 3 or separate from the 3...The 3 are one-person...
Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
It is not God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit...It IS God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit...
It is interesting to note that when those elders are in heaven worshiping God, Jesus the lamb does not come out from the right hand of God...He comes right out of the center of the single throne that is in heaven...Right out of the center of God...
LOL ... Many of them died for their witness to the truth. "Sheeple"? Far from it. They had courage most of us, you included, can only dream of, because their courage came straight from God.
For example, they would not dream of witnessing to Christ by anonymously insulting someone on the Internet the way you just insulted me.
As for Phillipians 2:6, I understand the verse just fine. Nowhere does it say Christ was not God, as you said it did. Read it in context: before the Incarnation, Christ had the form (appearance) of God; in the Incarnation, Christ took the form of a slave (human) and emptied himself.
Christ himself said before the Pharisees that he was eternal God when he said, "Before Abraham came to be, I AM". Paul said it, too, in the introduction to Hebrews, when he quotes the Father saying "Let all the angels of God worship him (Jesus)".
There are many other proofs of Christ's divinity. Any competent Bible scholar can show them to you.
Wrong. That is not what the Gk ousia, which is the word rendered in English as "substance", means. Not even close! Since you're not even going to take the time to get the basic terminology right, I'm not going to waste any more time on you.
So it has to be 3 divine persons in 1 divine person...
Heresy always leads to nonsense like this. Repent, embrace the Gospel, and become a Christian.
Don't be making stuff up now...I never said Jesus was not God...I have been pointing out there are not 3 persons and one substance, or 3 persons that make up one substance except that substance is a person...
LOL ... Many of them died for their witness to the truth. "Sheeple"? Far from it. They had courage most of us, you included, can only dream of, because their courage came straight from God.
They died for what they were told was the truth...A bit of a difference there...
For example, they would not dream of witnessing to Christ by anonymously insulting someone on the Internet the way you just insulted me.
I'm just following your lead...
What, you got some secret Roman definition that can't be found in English, or Greek for that matter???

I don't think that's the word you want it to be...
And look at the desperate attempt Here to try to fit the word into something that means what you guys want it to mean...It's tortured up and down the line of history...Apparently this is where you come up with your fractured meaning...
Ousia isn't even used in the scriptures except to denote personal possessions...
I don't blame you for running out on any discussion of Ousia and substance...
HaHaHaHa, if you guys can't defend your religion against something, you call it heresy and then start with the insults...
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
If I may:
From The Westminster Confession of Faith,
Chapter II
Of God, and of the Holy Trinity
I. There is but one only,[1] living, and true God,[2] who is infinite in being and perfection,[3] a most pure spirit,[4] invisible,[5] without body, parts,[6] or passions;[7] immutable,[8] immense,[9] eternal,[10] incomprehensible,[11] almighty,[12] most wise,[13] most holy,[14] most free,[15] most absolute;[16] working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will,[17] for His own glory;[18] most loving,[19] gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin;[20] the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him;[21] and withal, most just, and terrible in His judgments,[22] hating all sin,[23] and who will by no means clear the guilty.[24]
II. God has all life,[25] glory,[26] goodness,[27] blessedness,[28] in and of Himself; and is alone in and unto Himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creatures which He has made,[29] nor deriving any glory from them,[30] but only manifesting His own glory in, by, unto, and upon them. He is the alone fountain of all being, of whom, through whom, and to whom are all things;[31] and has most sovereign dominion over them, to do by them, for them, or upon them whatsoever Himself pleases.[32] In His sight all things are open and manifest,[33] His knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature,[34] so as nothing is to Him contingent, or uncertain.[35] He is most holy in all His counsels, in all His works, and in all His commands.[36] To Him is due from angels and men, and every other creature, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience He is pleased to require of them.[37]
III. In the unity of the Godhead there be three Persons of one substance, power, and eternity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.[38] The Father is of none, neither begotten nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father; [39] the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son. [40]

JOH 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein.
[8] JAM 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. MAL 3:6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

wow ... so sorry
I forgot all about this thread. It dropped away from my recently bookmarked pages and poof ... out of sight, out of mind ... anyhoo...
Campion, part of your reply:
Think of it as a rational entity who can be identified (and therefore named) uniquely. Human beings are persons, angels are persons (but not human persons; they're angelic persons), and God is three divine persons in one divine substance.
I still have trouble grasping that concept of "persons".
I guess because I'm a person, and to me it means a human form, and not a "spiritual" form.
Now you say angels are persons too?
I've always looked at them as "spiritual beings" who can appear as a person when they enter "our realm" to interact with us.
Maybe the word "entity" is more appropriate, or does that give it a spooky connotation? ... I dunno peeps ... I'm at a loss here ... sighs and wonders why I still can't relate to this concept.
In Bishop Romney's religion they are separate gods, and Mitt Romney himself will become a God as well.
Interesting. I do not understand Bishop Romney's religion's creed to represent orthodox Christian belief, however.
Not ALL protestants, see post #16. If you stick around here long enough you will see some "interesting" points of view.
Thank you for that observation. I will keep an eye out.
Mormonism is an entirely new religion, a polytheistic religion of endless Gods created by Joseph Smith of Sharon, Vermont, it isn't a Christian denomination.
Not disagreeing. Was simply speaking in general terms.
Does this mean that Jesus is a person, distinct from the eternal Son of God?
I know, I was just fleshing out the non-Christian statement.
Understood. Thank you for your reply and explanation.
Both a human person and God at the same time.
Was that His nature when He created light in Genesis, Both God and human?
God the Father created the light from darkness.
I've seen it described in this way in Genesis 1:
1. light (day)/darkness (night) = 4. sun/moon
2. arrangement of water = 5. fish + birds from waters
3. a) dry land = 6. a) animals
b) vegetation b) human beings: male/female
26 Then God said: Let us make* human beings in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the tame animals, all the wild animals, and all the creatures that crawl on the earth.
So who is the "us?"
God spoke in Genesis 1, the Word of God, being the Son of God. At the moment that God said "Let there be Light", was the Son of God both fully human and fully God?

'Shout Out For Solar' Day Sets Impressive Records
Calling it an "enormous success," Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), said SEIA's 2nd annual "Shout Out for Solar" Day, which took place last Friday on social media venues including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, set impressive new records for the organization's communications team.

Dan Brockway: Boulder Should Invest Directly In Solar Energy
OK, so the city of Boulder wants more renewable energy. Great, then why do they want to buy the local electric distribution from Xcel? Buying the wires and the distribution system does nothing to bring more renewable energy on the grid. That will require additional expense and further delay.
Patent Map Reveals Rise Of Thin-Film Solar Technology

Released: Nov 24th, 2010
Running Time: 83 Min.
Director: Brad Armstrong
Company: Wicked Pictures
DVD Extras: Behind the Scenes, Bonus Scenes, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Cast: Spyder Jonez, Brad Armstrong, Alexa Nicole, Tommy Gunn, Randy Spears, Seth Gamble, Cassandra Cruz, Madison Ivy, Breanne Benson, Kaylani Lei, Lupe Fuentes, Sienna Milano
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: High-End All-Sex
In her Wicked Pictures debut, Lupe Fuentes explodes on the screen in award winning director Brad Armstrong's Lolita, a visually stunning exploration of Lupe's sensual side that exposes her deepest desires. Blowjobs, three-way, girl/girl, solo, it's all here. The exotic beauty is joined by adult's sexiest little hotties. So if you like them sweet and petite, Lolita is a must see. Sit back and enjoy while Lupe and friends prove that good things really do cum in small packages.
Wicked Pictures' newest contract star, Lupe Fuentes, is one "cute little trick," as they used to say—and the fact that when we first see her in Lolita, she's wearing those heart-shaped sunglasses Sue Lyon made famous in the mainstream production of the same name doesn't hurt one bit. Best news: She's in almost every scene.
The opener has Spyder Jonez tattooing the small of Lupe's back, but it's only moments later that she's taken off her blouse, swapping gum with him and sucking him off—and before you know it, she's licking his cum off her lenses.
Alexa Nicole's an usher in a movie theater who's nice enough to strip for us in front of the popcorn machine. But when she finds she's alone with the theater's only patron, Brad Armstrong, her oral massage gives way to some hot cowgirl and reverse, horsie, standing mish and a pop to her tongue.
Spyder's got a roomful of dolls, only some of which are plastic. The real ones, Lupe and Madison Ivy, suck his dick, then Lupe spreads for mish and doggie as Madison lends helping hands and tongue before climbing on his cock. In the end, he goes back and forth between the two girls, finally depositing his spunk on their faces. It's the movie's best scene.
Lupe's lemonade stand doesn't have much business, so she plays with herself and dribbles the juice on her ass, then plays Cupid (complete with bow and arrow) to Breanne Benson and Tommy Gunn. The pair gets it on doggie-style, reverse cowgirl and mish.
Lupe and Kaylani Lei engage in a merry-go-round fantasy, posing seductively by a pair of carnival horses, then pleasuring each other with tongues, fingers and dildos. And finally, Lupe and Sienna Milano pose among stuffed animals, which we're assured is "fun, fun, fun"—and fortunately, it is, at least for the viewer. Naturally, a couple of those animals have dicks, and the gals manage to suck them dry.

Wow Boomie! This will definitely be awesome to serve over the holidays. What flavor...yumm. I used Vanilla Vodka in this wonderful punch. The combo of pomegranate juice and lemon and maple syrup is out of this world. Creating a treat that is tart, sweet, tangy, deep, dark and mysterious. Be sure to add the pomegranate seeds they add to the overall experience in taste and texture....Thank you so much for sharing.

Re: Student Loan Charge Off - Bankruptcy
This is more common with car loans - the finance company contracts establishes bankruptcy as a default. With car loans the way you deal with that is to reaffirm the loan in bankruptcy. To do that now you would need to reopen your case.
If I were you I would ask my attorney. This sounds like a mess being manipulated by the lender. While they couldn't communicate with you they could and should have communicated with your attorney.
I had a similar experience with a car loan I was required to pay off by my divorce decree. I actually finished paying it after filing BK but before discharge, so didn't reaffirm. The lender eventually took it off IIB reporting.

Shahriar Pourdanesh
Shahriar Pourdanesh (known as Shar Pourdanesh to his many Redskin fans), was born in Iran. He came to the United States with his family after leaving Iran during the Iranian revolution in 1979. He attended University High School in Irvine, California where he was an all-league offensive lineman and was the fourth-ranked heavyweight wrestler in the state. He attended college at the University of Nevada in Reno where he was a dominant offensive lineman. As a senior in 1992, he was named to the first team All-Conference for the Big West Conference.
Shar joined the Redskins after two seasons with the Baltimore Stallions of the Canadian Football League (CFL) and is the first Iranian to play NFL football. In 1994 Shar was named CFL Offensive Lineman of the Year for the Baltimore Stallions and was named to the CFL all-star team in 1994 and 1995. During the 1996 Redskins' season Shar proved a very versatile player, playing both left tackle and right tackle.

Mutation has been recognized to be an effective software testing technique. It is based on the insertion of artificial faults in the system under test (SUT) by means of a set of mutation operators. Different operators can mutate each program statement in several ways, which may produce a huge number of mutants. This leads to very high costs for test case execution and result analysis. Several works have approached techniques for cost reduction in mutation testing, like $(n)$-order mutation where each mutant contains $(n)$ artificial faults instead of one. There are two approaches to $(n)$-order mutation: increasing the effectiveness of mutation by searching for good $(n)$-order mutants, and decreasing the costs of mutation testing by reducing the mutants set through the combination of the first-order mutants into $(n)$-order mutants. This paper is focused on the second approach. However, this second use entails a risk: the possibility of leaving undiscovered faults in the SUT, which may distort the perception of the test suite quality. This paper describes an empirical study of different combination strategies to compose second-order mutants at system level as well as a cost-risk analysis of $(n)$-order mutation at system level.

Apple of my eye
|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: lack of organizational structure (June 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The phrase apple of my eye refers to something or someone that one cherishes above all others.[1]
According to The MacArthur Study Bible, Moses wrote it around 1400 B.C.
Its meaning does indeed derive from an expression signifying the pupil of the eye, one of the most sensitive parts of the body. For example, one can tolerate an eyelash on the white of his eye, but let it barely touch the pupil, and everything else is of secondary importance.
The Bible references below (from the King James Version, translated in 1611) contain the English idiom "apple of my eye." However the Hebrew literally says, "little man of the eye." The Hebrew idiom also refers to the pupil, and has the same meaning, but does not parallel the English use of "apple."
The earliest appearance of the term is found in King Aelfred's writing in the ninth century AD. Originally this term simply referred to the "aperture at the centre of the human eye" viz. the pupil. [2]
Shakespeare also used it in the 1590s when he wrote A Midsummer Night's Dream:
"Flower of this purple dye, / Hit with Cupid's archery, / Sink in apple of his eye".
It also appears in the King James Bible Translation from 1611:
Deuteronomy 32:10
He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
in the Book of Psalms 17:8
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings
in Proverbs 7:2
Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
Lamentations 2: 18
Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
as well as in Zechariah 2:8
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
The original Hebrew for this idiom, in all but Zechariah 2:8, was 'iyshown 'ayin (אישון עין), and can be literally translated as "Little Man of the Eye." This is a reference to the tiny reflection of yourself that you can see in other people's pupils. Other KJV translations of the word 'iyshown include dark and obscure, as a reference to the darkness of the pupil.
This Hebrew idiom is surprisingly close to the Latin version, pupilla, which means a little doll, and is a diminutive form of pupus, boy, or pupa, girl (the source also for our other sense of pupil to mean a schoolchild.) It was applied to the dark central portion of the eye within the iris because of the tiny image of oneself, like a puppet or marionette, that one can see when looking into another person's eye.
In Zechariah 2:8, the Hebrew phrase used is bava 'ayin (בבה עין). The meaning of bava is disputed. It may mean "apple"; and if so, the phrase used in Zechariah 2:8 literally refers to the "apple of the eye." However, it appears that most Hebrew scholars think this Hebrew phrase communicated the meaning conveyed by the English word, "eyeball" (E.g., see The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament, vol. 1, p. 107).
The phrase is also used in Sir Walter Scott's Old Mortality, 1816:
"Poor Richard was to me as an eldest son, the apple of my eye."
In popular culture[edit]
- In 1973 British pop band Badfinger released a single titled "Apple of My Eye" (written by Pete Ham) as a reference to Apple Records, the label which had been producing their albums, but that now they were leaving for Warner Bros. Records.
- Stevie Wonder also used the phrase in the third line of the lyrics to his song, "You Are the Sunshine of My Life."

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
With six months until the release of the franchise reboot, Columbia Pictures continues to parcel out stills from The Amazing Spider-Man, this time with new images of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy. If the latter shot looks a little familiar, it's because similar photos leaked from the movie's set more than a year ago.
Billed as "the untold story" of Peter Parker, the Marc Webb-directed film also stars Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Irrfan Khan, Denis Leary, Chris Zylka, Campbell Scott, C. Thomas Howell, Embeth Davidtz and Annie Parisse. The Amazing Spider-Man opens on July 3.

Stylish Sunglasses For 2005
Page 2 of 2If the first wraparounds are too "safe" or classic for you, you can always opt for a trendier, more risqué style, such as these other Diesel shades. With a gray tint and full-out futuristic styling, these sunglasses look best with classic threads like a simple collared shirt and flat-front pants, or a T-shirt and jeans. Since these shades practically scream for attention, you're better off balancing out their bold style with a more low-key look.
| rectangular frames
Oval- and rectangular-shaped sunglasses are among the classic styles, so if you're looking for a pair that won't necessarily be the trendiest but will last you several seasons, you've found the right ones. These shades from Kenneth Cole boast metal frames and polycarbonate lenses. Wear them with absolutely anything, anytime, anywhere...
| dos and don'ts
- According to SunglassHut.com, the size of the frame should be proportionate to the size of your face, and the shape of the frame should be the opposite of the shape of your face.
- Those of you with an oval face are in luck — you can wear just about any kind of frame, so go crazy and experiment with cool styles.
- Rectangular frames are better for people with round faces; oval and round frames are best for guys with square-shaped faces; round and square frames are great for dudes with oblong faces (faces that are elongated in one direction and almost elliptical)
- Rimless styles, as well as sunglasses with a high, thin bridge, look best on men with small noses or close-set eyes.
- Opt for an open space at the bridge area if you have wider nostrils.
- If you have a fuller face, go for wider-styled sunglasses, to avoid having them sit on your cheeks.
| look great in the shade
With the warmer weather here, you're probably tempted to add something new to your cool spring and summer threads. Although they are made to protect your eyes from the sun's rays, no one said you can't make a statement with your shades. Whether you're into ultra-trendy aviator or bold styles, or classic rectangular frames, sunglasses are a great way to add some cool to your image.

I know WHICH users are constantly getting locked out because of bad password attempts, and they're only coming from their machine (using the old out of date ms account lockout tool and others to find this out) I don't know what the source of these on the computers in question are. It happens even when their computer is just sitting there doing nothing. (they may have programs open, but there's no remote desktop to them or live person sitting at the workstation)
It seems to send one to the DC about every 15 to 30 minutes, but varies by user. I reset the lockout number to 20 so that they wouldn't be locked out all the time, but I'd like to find a solution for real.
No scheduled tasks are running at all, they unmapped all drives and remapped them. Even when those were in place, it seems odd that it would cause that many attempts in one hour anyway.
All machines are Windows 7 with latest updates and ran virus, malware, spyware scanners with nothing found.
We have a hosted exchange account with Rackspace, so not connected to the DC. (unless I'm missing something here)

AbstractAlgae are one of the most, if not the most, productive biomass crops known and have a photosynthetic efficiency almost twice that of the most productive terrestrial crop, sugarcane. However, algae are not without disadvantages relative to terrestrial crops, and do require their own novel technical solutions. Characteristically, microalgae are aquatic, very small (1 to 10 micron diameter), very dilute (0.01 to 0.5% w/v), have similar density to water, and generally do not naturally coagulate. Furthermore, before downstream use, the algae culture must usually be concentrated to 1 to 90% w/v (slurry to dry flake). Due to the dilute growth conditions of algae, large volumes of culture must be grown then concentrated making the harvest and concentration of algae an important but challenging task. While all of the traditional dewatering methods such as sedimentation, dissolved air flotation, centrifugation, filtration, flocculation, and drying, are moderately functional and low-risk technical solutions, none is a complete solution. Each has significant tradeoffs in cost, land requirement, speed, energy intensity, chemical requirements, collection efficiency, and concentration efficiency. It is anticipated that we will be better able to gauge the commercial viability of an LDA for algae dewatering and possibly for other potential applications. As an algal oil production company, Phycal has most exhaustively evaluated the LDA for application to the dewatering of microalgae. However, at its core, an LDA is a particle separator that has applications in biomedical, blood separation, water treatment and purification, fuel filtering, and other applications

Socialism OK for Wall Street gamblers

To The Editor: Saturdays Times-News column, Bailout to cost hundreds of billions, describes the Bush half-way proposal a takeover of worthless mortgages and other bad debt held by tottering institutions.
It is comparable to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation formed in 1932 by President Hoover for similar reasons. Like Hoover, there is no effort to assist unemployed wage earners or small business owners whose livelihood is disappearing as a result of the horrendous laissez-faire position of both administrations.
It took FDR and the New Deal to make any real effort to save the American economy (and to stave off potential European style revolution). History is repeating itself in that the Bush administration appears to be a carbon copy of Hoovers.
The Democrats are promoting assistance for the middle class and possible expansion of jobless benefits, despite Bushs request to avoid adding controversial items that could delay action. This group of Americans have been continually losing ground starting with the Reagan administrations deregulation program and continuing with all Republican administrations and congresses since.
Apparently, government intervention (socialism) benefiting the wealthy is acceptable while demonstrating no regard for those less fortunate. Vote Palin-McCain if you agree with Bush.

This study explores the role of several family-related factors in faculty research productivity for a large, nationally representative sample of university faculty members. The role of marriage, children, and aging parents is examined after controlling for other personal and environmental factors, such as age, rank, department, and intrinsic motivations to conduct research, that previous research has shown to influence research productivity. Analyses are conducted on a sample of 8,544 full-time teaching faculty (2,384 women and 6,160 men) at 57 universities nationwide. Results show that factors affecting faculty research productivity are nearly identical for men and women, and family-related variables, such as having dependent children, exhibit little or no effects on research productivity.

Government Crowding Out, USPS Style
This is a really bad policy idea: the U.S. Postal Service wants to get into the grocery delivery business. Economists will sometimes support government interventions in industries where there are serious market failures. But with grocery delivery, private businesses are already performing the service, and no market failure is evident.
The Federal Government and American Indians
As research for this essay on the Bureau of Indian Affairs, I visited the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). I found virtually no information useful for my project.
Reagan and the Air Traffic Controllers
An obituary in the Washington Post for Robert Poli provides a chance to look back at a decisive moment in Ronald Reagan's presidency. Poli was the head of the militant Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO), which launched an illegal strike in 1981. The Post describes the significance of the action:
Secret Service Spending
Another federal agency has screwed up. This time it is the Secret Service, which almost allowed an intruder to make a surprise visit on the Obamas. The Washington Post reports:
The Naked Truth about TSA Spending
Governments tend to spend money on low-value activities because they do not have market signals or customer feedback to guide them. In this report, I examined the problem with respect to the Transportation Security Administration. As one example, TSA's SPOT program for finding terrorists spends more than $200 million a year with few if any benefits.
Taxes, Tennis, and Transportation
We have an uncompetitive federal corporate tax rate of 35 percent compared to Canada's 15 percent. Our Roth IRA is inferior to Canada's TFSA, as Amity Shlaes and I discussed in the Wall Street Journal. And while Serena Williams still tops rising star Eugenie Bouchard, we should be paying attention to "What Canada Can Teach Us About Tennis."
Edwards' Law of Cost Doubling
Large government projects often double in cost between when they are first considered and when they are finally completed. This pattern—call it "Edwards' Law"—is revealed in story after story about highways, airports, computer systems, and other types of government infrastructure.
Corporate Inversions, Tax Rates, and Tax Revenues
News outlets are running stories about the rise in corporate tax inversions. Inversions are financial reorganizations that place U.S. firms under foreign parent corporations. They are one of the many ways that companies are responding to America's uniquely high corporate tax rate.
Keep chopping federal spending
President Obama is not doing enough to rein in spending and deficits. He says the deficit has been cut in half since he came to office. But that is a cut from the giant 2009 figure of $1.4 trillion, which was so high partly because of his costly stimulus bill.
Corporate Tax Inversions Made Simple
Numerous responses to my article in the New York Times yesterday about corporate tax inversions indicated a lack of understanding. Related articles by Levin, Johnston, and Huang similarly suggested that further enlightenment is needed.
