As students prepare to begin another school year, Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock, Texas, is preparing its second year of operation.
Part of the new paradigm of academies within an academy, Cedar Ridge was designed by Perkins+Will—a firm well-versed in the design of innovative spaces. According to Jerry Johnson, design principal with Perkins+Will, the district wanted to break up a large high school, consisting of 2,400 students in grades 9-12, into a smaller school concept.
"We spent a lot of time thinking about how this building would sit on this site in terms of its orientation, how the kids would be able to use the outdoors effectively, and how traffic moved through the site safely," Johnson says.
The resulting Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver-certified facility comes in at 375,000 square feet and houses four distinct schools: the Academy of International Business and Economics, the Academy of Professional Studies, the Academy of Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, and the Academy of Visual and Performing Arts. Each academy has its own second-floor library, in addition to the school's main library.
"It's almost like a higher-ed idea of smaller, focused resource centers that are directed toward that subject," says Johnson. A student-run cyber café between the main library and cafeteria offers drinks, snacks and a sitting area where students can read, study and meet with friends.
Cedar Ridge was built on a using locally quarried white limestone and tilt-up concrete panels to accommodate a shortened construction schedule, as well as to give the building a more sophisticated, non-traditional aesthetic. "We used it over a site-cast concrete tilt-wall system so that the building went up very efficiently," says Johnson. "The walls are made of concrete, but many of them have this limestone veneer on top of it, which gave it a nice local finish."
Austin endures hot, humid summers, and while schools are closed during those months, climate was a factor in the way Perkins+Will designed Cedar Ridge. "The academies each have their own representation as a wing of the building that is oriented north-south, so it's got good solar orientation," says Johnson. "The shared functions—the athletic wing, cafeteria commons, and music and drama wing—are on the other side of the building." As an added benefit of the building's solar orientation, and the strategic use of windows and glazing, the amount of artificial lighting needed in the building is minimized.
The design team also incorporated secure outdoor spaces between the academies that can be used as social and collaborative spaces. "There are plenty of shady spots where kids can eat and interact outside, and move between parts of the buildings through the courtyards in a nice, secure manner," Johnson notes. "We try to orient things with a lot of respect to the sun. For example, the media center has a lot of glass facing north, so there's very little direct sunlight that would bother anyone in those spaces."
Perkins+Will spent plenty of time re-envisioning the interior learning areas as well. Student workspaces with chairs that allow movement help increase attention and academic success, while movable lecterns allow for flexibility in the classroom and enable teachers to communicate clearly with each student. Hose and water access in each classroom helps to expedite cleanup, and large roll-up doors assist in displaying art. Unique areas in each academy, such as nano-technology and bio-chemistry labs in the Academy of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, and soundproof practice rooms in the Academy of Visual and Performing Arts, provide students with specialized opportunities and knowledge.
The Academy of Visual and Performance arts also received a displacement air ventilation system, as a test run for efficiency. "That system delivers air at lower velocities down low and the air then is experienced mostly at human level," says Johnson. "In a lot of buildings, air comes out of the ceiling and is around the ceiling area, not where the people necessarily are. By delivering it low and returning it high, fresh air comes in where people are sitting or standing, and then it's pulled up and out of the building." According to Johnson, the new air system also had the effect of improving indoor air quality in the school, helping it achieve LEED certification.
Sustainability and eco-friendly structure are paramount in the design of new schools, but they aren't the only advantages. The combination of temperature, ventilation and natural lighting is conducive to better attendance and better grades—something sure to be studied by a new raft of evidence-based design research.
"There's no doubt that thermal comfort is at the top of everyone's list when we do post-occupancy evaluations," says Johnson. "We hear all the time that natural light lifts everyone's spirits and creates a much more productive atmosphere. While there's no empirical data on this, we do hear from principals and people who maintain the buildings that they're extremely pleased with how well the students respect the building because they like it very much."
Schools like Cedar Ridge are usually found in higher-income districts, but thanks to Perkins+Will's Social Responsibility Initiative (SRI), sustainability and eco-comfort are not exclusive. The firm is looking ahead to working on Jones High School, an inner-city school in Chicago, and as part of their pro-bono SRI, they help redesign and improve numerous projects in education, community groups and health care.
"There's a big need out there," says Johnson. "We work with charter schools, urban schools — we help any way we can."

Intel plans to introduce a new quad core codenamed Yorkfield
and this will be a new Core 2 Extreme. At this point Intel doesn't want to tell
a frequency of a chip but this will depend on how fast is Barcelona or Agena FX
as a matter of speaking.
The new CPU supports FSB 1333, has up to 12 MB of cache
memory quad core and it firsts in LGA 775. This CPU comes in Q1 2008 but some
sources close to Intel indicated that if possibly Intel can launch a limited
number of these CPUs in Q4.

How does 'flattening' come into play when there's only one array? I would think 'unwiding' of an array is what takes place.

The Four Dumbest Attempts To Explain Why Beyoncé And Jay-Z Named Their Baby "Blue Ivy"
Late Saturday Beyoncé, having taken over an entire floor at Lenox Hill Hospital, gave birth to her first child with Jay-Za daughter named Blue Ivy. No sooner did the name surface (well, at first the Internet got it wrong, referring to the baby as "Ivy Blue") than did the super-stupid conspiracy theories about the name pop up and spread like wildfirebecause, of course, it's fun to make fun of a baby that isn't even a week old because her parents happen to be more famous and make more money than you. Oh, class warfare, you manifest yourself in the strangest ways! Four of the most ridiculous explanations below.
4. They're celebrities! And at least the kid's name isn't, I don't know, "Apple" or something.
3. "Among the speculative suggestions is the claim that Ivy is an acronym for 'Illuminati's very youngest.'"

Please see Jay-Z's verse on Rick Ross's "Free Mason" for further clarification on this matter. Related: God.
2. Something something 4, something something Blueprint.
You know... "Ivy," "IV," 4? I floated this on Twitter yesterday as a sorta-joke. People ran with it this morning, citing "sources and fans." (Yes, B went on an extended monologue about the importance of the number four at her Roseland shows last summer, but honestly: "Beyoncé named her latest album 4," the story breathlessly said, devoid of any context. That couldn't be because it's her fourth solo album, could it? How crazy is that!) Important caveat: Obviously if the baby has a secret middle name of "Print," or if Jay mysteriously sequences the Blueprint series' next recorded installment as "V," everyone was right.
1. "Elub Yvi" is actually an ancient phrase that, when translated, means "Lucifer's daughter."
This is a particularly cruel rumor that cropped up before it was revealed that the baby's name was not "Ivy Blue" but its flip, and yet it still persists on those parts of the Internet that specialize in having stupid names and even dumber content, and through the magic of gaming Google they are able to gum up your search results so that they can collect AdWords payoutsyour Examiner.coms, your ChaChas, your Yahoo! Answerses. Neither "Elub" nor "Yvi" is actually a Latin word; the Latin translation for "devil's daughter" is "filia diaboli," while "Lucifer's daughter" translates to "Lucifer filia." (Did none of the so-called running with this particular rumor take a foreign language in high school? "Sister" is, like, one of the first 30 words you learn how to translate. Writers! Know the words you're using! Sometimes reading SEO-bait sites is like watching a carpenter try to make easy money by using the rusty screwdriver that just happens to be in her pocket to hammer nails. Embarrassing for all involved, especially when inadvertent stabbings happen.)

In this paper, we use the Meaning Generator System (MGS) presented at Gathering in Biosemiotics 2 [1] to analyse the evolution of meaningful information generation through different steps of the evolution of life. Taking as a starting point the usage of MGS for vital constraint satisfaction in basic life (paramecium), we develop its application for more complex living elements up to the case of non-human primate. The thread we follow is relative to the identification of new constraints that can appear through evolution of life, and correspondingly participate to generation of new types of meaningful information. We show that beside the complexification of vital constraints to be satisfied, and in addition to the corresponding enrichment of their satisfaction processes, there is a step in evolution that naturally introduces some specific new constraint in living elements. This step is the one corresponding to the performance of self-representation. Self-representation appeared in evolution at the level of non-human primates. We present the content of self-representation and show that it has a direct consequence on the living element in terms of a new type of constraint to be satisfied. We show that this new constraint participates to the generation of a new set of meaningful information via the MGS, and that the satisfaction of the constraint introduces some natural formulation of emotion generation during the evolution of life.

Narhal's Raiders | Royal - ??? |
The Homeworld of the Raiders is Kilmarnock. Narhal's Raiders are a medium-sized mercenary unit in the Inner Sphere. In the Third and Fourth Succession Wars the unit was employed by the Lyran Commonwealth.
During the First Succession War, a Marik regiment fled from the League and into the Periphery. Teaming up with the remnants of a BattleMech regiment in the Rim Worlds Republic, the two formed Narhal's Raiders. The unit was named after both the commanding officer, Tyilik Narhal, and the Narhal Rover, a predator from Tyilik's homeworld. For nearly a decade, the unit plundered Free Worlds League and Capellan Confederation worlds to sustain itself.
In 2799[1] , the descendant of Tyilik Narhal was ousted as commander of the unit by Ustinov Matthews. Matthews had soured of raiding and sought official contracts with the Capellan Confederation and the Federated Suns. Shortly before the Second Succession War, the unit signed a contract with the Lyran Commonwealth where they remained through the Fourth Succession War, except for a brief and disastrous contract with the Capellan Confederation from 2849 to 2859.
By 2866, the unit's finances were in shambles. In that same year, however, the unit's finances began to improve, primarily due to the intervention of Archon Elizabeth Steiner who wished to improve the unit's equipment and morale. By the beginning of the Fourth Succession War, however, the unit was still in a poor financial situation due to the previous manipulations by the Commonwealth and others to keep the unit in debt.
Narhal's Raiders took a pounding during the Clan Invasion; a pounding that reduced them to a reinforced regiment.
Following the secession of the Lyran Alliance from the Federated Commonwealth, Colonel Giraudoux was released from their contract after threatening to attack the LAAF in Prince Victor's name. They went to Outreach, where Giraudoux rather loudly--and publicly--explained to the LAAF's representative about his low opinion of Archon Katherine. They quickly accepted a contract with the Draconis Combine to garrison Kilmarnock so the veteran DCMS regiments that were there could participate in Operation Bulldog.
They were reassigned to Rockland when Clan Ghost Bear invaded the Combine. The Raiders launched a counter-attack against the Bears on Thule, where they took heavy damage. Though they bloodied the Bears, Colonel Giraudoux was forced to disband the fourth battalion, so the Raiders began to look more like a traditional regiment.
Following the end of the Ghost Bear War, the unit was reassigned to the Draconis March front after that province attacked the Combine. Giraudoux still felt loyal to Prince Victor and had no desire to fight units that could be used to help against Katherine, so they garrisoned Fellanin II. Giraudoux was forced to watch as the FedCom Civil War raged just across the border. He accepted another contract with the Combine, as it was clear by that point that the war was winding down.
In December 3067, an operative from the Federated Suns' Ministry of Information, Intelligence, and Operations alerted Colonel Giraudoux that there were prisoner-of-war camps located within the Draconis Combine. When Giraudoux attempted to confirm or deny these rumors with his employer, he was stonewalled and threatened. No longer able to trust the Combine, Giraudoux decided not to renew the Raiders' contract when it expired.
In July 3068, the MIIO operative made contact again and informed Giraudoux that there was actually a prison camp adjacent to the base of the DCMS regular unit on Fellanin II, the First Ghost Regiment. As the unit lifted off-world to redeploy, he ordered a reconnaissance flight to find out for sure. The flight took fire, but was able to confirm the information. Giraudoux ordered Narhal's Raiders into action. They were able to liberate the POW camp, while the MIIO team ordered an extraction. After fighting a brutal rear guard against the 1st Ghost, a Federated Suns JumpShip came in-system via a pirate point and took the Raiders and their charges across the border.
In the Draconis March, the mercenaries were hailed as saviors who heeded their consciences over their wallets. Duke Tancred Sandoval quickly offered them a new contract even as the DCMS lodged a complaint with the Mercenary Review and Bonding Commission over their desertion. The Raiders have since had to fend off raids from Combine troops.

Looking for someone to enjoy life with :)
About me: I recently moved from Cincinnati and love exploring the city and meeting new people. I would describe myself as easygoing, someone who makes the best out of every situation and is always laughing and out enjoying life. I have a serious case of wanderlust and love to explore new places whether its a beach vacation or going to Europe. I believe life should always be unpredictable and try to live mine so that every day is something different. My last big trip was to Australia and I'm trying to figure out where to go next. I am ambitious and enjoy being successful in my career. I have put in a lot of hard work to get to where I am and am thankful that my job affords me the financial and schedule flexibility to enjoy all of the other great things in life. I am looking for someone adventurous with a great sense of humor. I like guys that are intelligent and that I can have great conversations with. I have many diverse interests and would like to find someone similar that can introduce me to some new things as well. I live a pretty busy life and would prefer meeting up to see if there's a connection rather than emailing back and forth forever.
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting

Watch Carmen: A Hip Hopera
Carmen writes to Hill, and Hill shares his desire with his cellmates. While Hill is jailed, Carmen meets Blaze. Blaze wants to bring Carmen to LA, but only her friends go. Carmen swears to join them once Hill is free. Sadly, Hill has one year of probation once freed. After getting into an argument with Miller, Hill punches him and flees with Carmen.
Now in LA, Carmen and Hill are jobless. Carmen finds her best friends, who are being spoiled by Blaze. The trio have their fortunes read with Carmen's reading "Ruin," "Sorrow" and "Death." Deciding that she needs a change, Carmen heads to Blaze's rehearsal and gets to be Blaze's date for his next concert. Elsewhere, Miller hunts for Hill, and Miller's ex-partner gives Hill's address for a large bribe. Simultaneously, Carmen is nearly electrocuted by a radio.
Soon after, Carmen leaves Hill, moving into a house with her friends. She rationalizes that she shouldn't throw her life away on him, even though he did for her. Devastated by Carmen, Hill learns from Caela that he's in danger for knowing the truth. Hill seeks out Carmen to win her over again, bringing her with him with Carmen refusing. During this argument, Miller accidentally snipes Carmen twice while aiming for Hill from secret. Held by Hill, Carmen can't speak when asked what was wrong. Hill touches her back, noticing blood on his hand and Carmen dies. Hill lays her body on the floor and confronts Miller, with Miller falling to his death. Carmen's best friends find her body and are both distraught. The story ends with Hill being arrested.

Friday, September 17, 2010
The state of Texas today sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in a federal appeals court in Washington DC, claiming four new regulations imposed by the EPA are based on the thoroughly discredited findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and are 'factually flawed,' 1200 WOAI news reports.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott says the rules are illegal and if imposed, will cost Texans in higher energy costs and tens of thousands of lost jobs.
"The state explained that the IPCC, and therefore the EPA, relied on flawed science to conclude that greenhouse emissions endanger public health and welfare," Abbott said. "Because the Administration predicated its Endangerment Finding on the IPCC's questionable facts, the state is seeking to prevent the EPA's new rules, and the economic harm that will result from these regulations, from being imposed on Texas employers, workers, and enforcement agencies."
Having A Supply Of Healthy Foods That Last Just Makes Sense (AD)
The IPCC has become the laughing stock of science, with numerous revelations of sloppy research, science, and in one report, a prediction that glaciers would melt in 25 years was due to a researcher mixing numbers, and writing '2035' including '2350,' which was the year the glaciers were really expected to be in danger.
One of the rules imposed by the EPA would extend clean air regulations to the tailpipes of personal cars and trucks, but Abbott says the pollutants which the EPA aims to restrict by this rule aren't even found in internal combustion vehicles.

Oh I totally understand, I have one just like it!!!
I have a brand new Elizabeth Emmanuel designer bathrobe under my bed, a gift, that just doesn't feel the same as my cheap towelling dishcloth...well, that's what it resembles.
I have been considering dying mine a dark colour so I can get a few more years out of it without offending anyone further.
Lovely sketch btw! - 14 April, 2007

Neighbor and neighborhood reunions Town Reunions Resettlement reunion Like the pioneer days, Dyess, Arkansas, was carved from 16,000 acres of snake-infested swamp in northeast Arkansas in 1934, a New Deal dream town for about 500 farming families ruined by the Depression. It was a second chance. Dyess was one of 102 towns President Franklin Roosevelt created for people left destitute by the Depression. 500 families, chosen from thousands of applicants for color (white), poverty level (the bottom) and physical ability to clear land and farm.
In 1964, Dyess became a regular municipality and has held reunions since 1981. 300 people come from across the country. J.R. Cash moved to Dyess with his family and remembers singing his first song in the back of the flatbed truck the government sent to move them. Legendary country singer Johnny Cash hasnt been to a reunion, but every year hes invited, and every year, theres a communal hope he might just walk in.
Maple Grove and Franklin Township Community of Manitowoc, Wisconsin Friends of St. Patrick, a non-profit organization, formed to preserve the memory of the founding families, is collecting histories of the Irish community families in Manitowoc, Calumet and Brown Counties, Wisconsin. Early settlers came from Ireland, England and Scotland in the late 1840s. As the community grew, descendants spread throughout the United States. There are over 15,000 known descendants stemming from St. Patricks Church in Maple Grove, Wisconsin. Their reunion reunion was July 7, 2002. Contact Friends of St. Patrick, PO Box 435, Reedsville WI 54320.
The Grand Family Reunion and 250th anniversary of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, July 10, 2003. Over 250 years ago they fled religious persecution and frequent wars, all dreaming of a better life in Nova Scotia. 2,700 people migrated from Germany, Switzerland and France from 1750 to 1752. Their land grant dreams became reality in June 1753 with Lunenburgs creation on Nova Scotia's south shore. Fishing and shipbuilding helped settlers and their descendants prosper for several generations.
In honor of Lunenburg's 250th anniversary, the Grand Family Reunion Planning Committee invited descendants of the town's first families to a five-day celebration beginning July 10, 2003. Chris Young, Committee Chair, says "A shared love of genealogy and history forms our event and we envision a week of discovery and adventure."
Mr. Young's vision is to "Hug long lost and new found relatives, tip our hats to those passed on and fill in the blanks in the search for our roots."
He hopes everyone will meet other genealogists for a mutually beneficial information exchange and find ancestors from traces left behind.
Reunion events included a Halifax to Lunenburg voyage, family information booths and an ecumenical church service. Attendees visited churches where ancestors worshiped, land where they lived and worked and cemeteries where they are buried.

An exultation of Meadowlarks by John Dinan Half a century ago every kid who grew up in East Lynn, Massachusetts, spent the bulk of his spare time at the "Meadow" baseball and football fields behind Lynn English High School. Long summer days were spent honing sports skills or just laying in a patch of grass with a bottle of cream soda.
Lynn had a population of 100,000 and kids gathered from across the city, from the Highlands, Eastern Avenue and the Buchanan Bridge neighborhood. Groups seldom co-mingled until games were organized at the early teen level when teams from The Meadow played playground teams from other parts of the city.
These were '"growing up" years when solid friendships were formed but later lost as we grew into adulthood. Over the years, wars, marriages, friendships came and went. Friendships made at The Meadow were based on shared youthful experiences and predated those made by marriage, military service and jobs. One would occasionally ruminate about the years and memories of young pals and our salad days at The Meadow but pressures of job and family soon dissipated these reveries ... until...
Ten years ago one of the old gangs that cut across three decades, three major wars and several neighborhoods decided it was time for a reunion of kids who grew up on The Meadow.
And so was born the Meadowlarks a name Coach Gus Daum used to refer to the kids whose second home was The Meadow. Lists were assembled and invitations mailed. We gathered at The Franco-American Club in Lynn.
Old friendships were renewed. It was a renewal of that "carefree boy with cheek of tan" that resides in our collective past. "Do you remember so-and-so?" "Whatever happened to the kid who...?" "How about the time when...?" Questions and dimly remembered answers brought us back to a simpler time.
Meadowlarks reunions now take place twice a year in May and November. They are unique in their focus of shared youth.
One of the members had looked up the proper name for a group of Meadowlarks it is an exultation. And that is what the Meadowlarks reunion experience is: the joy of remembered youth.

Journal JesseL's Journal: One of the things I love about my home town. 12
Strange at it may seem to our over-civilized friends throughout the world, it still warms our heart to see pistols worn openly in the check lines of supermarkets in Prescott. Sad to say most of the exemplars may properly be characterized as geezers, but then Prescott has always qualified as a geezer town - that is one reason why we moved here.
-Lt.Col. Jeff Cooper
I've open carried around here since I was 21 and most people don't notice. Of the people who do notice most are supportive or at least indifferent. The police are never called, nobody ever shrieks, the most common comment is "nice pistol", and folks are as polite and friendly as ever.
I hear stories from a lot of other places around the country where the public isn't so tolerant. I'd hate to have it become like that around here and I think this is the best reason there is to continue open carrying. A right unexercised becomes a right denied, and that more than compensates for whatever I might give up in the "tactical advantage" or "element of surprise" that are so valued by people who insist that a defensive handgun should always be concealed.

Nvidia has confirmed to its analysts that a single chip chipset approach makes much financial sense. As Nvidia is a really successful money making machine, the company concentrates on making the single chip chipsets and maximizing the margins with such an approach.
As AMD slipped this year, Nvidia starts to look in Intel's way and will announce a new IGP core for Intel and will try to release Intel's chipsets shortly after it releases the AMD version. The answer to why is rather simple, as Nvidia has much more experience with AMD chipsets and this is something that Jensen confirmed the other day.
So next time when you see a single chip chipset from Nvidia, bear in mind that Nvidia makes a lot of money out of it.

Have you have ever had one of those endless, futile, Salvation conversations with someone you really care about? You know, the ones where you feel like you would have more progress if you were talking to a wall?
The kind that degenerates from a caring, compassionate plea on your part to arguing about the difference between man-made doctrine and the Holy Bible?
Well, you're not alone. In fact, I imagine that many of us have had these conversations with a family member or two.
What I just described is a typical conversation with my Dad. I love him dearly, and I know he's going to read this. I could censor it to make sure I do not hurt his feelings; but I can't bear the thought of him having to face the Tribulation without us. Worse yet, I don't even want to fathom the idea of him spending an eternity in Hell.
First off, my Dad is highly intelligent. He has a Bachelor's in Science and worked as a chemist for over 30 years.
He actually studied to be a Catholic Priest at one time, but thought better of the celibacy part. Needless to say, he is very well versed in Catholicism's version of Salvation.
Now, Jack has written many great articles about the difference between what the Bible teaches about salvation and what Catholics teach; so I will not be delving into that here.
Plus, I'm not the type of person to claim to know whether or not a person is saved by their declared Christian affiliation.
However, in my Dad's case, he really makes me wonder whether or not he truly believes in Christ.
What is so tricky about my Dad is his complete resolve to annoy the daylights out of somebody. He is the ultimate protagonist. He truly makes a sport out of arguing.
My Aunt has said she used to wonder why everyone would get so mad during dinner conversations and start yelling and screaming at each other. She decided to sit back and watch one time, and noticed that my Dad would say something casual and wait for someone to respond. He would then take the complete opposite point of view, even if he agreed with the person. Then he'd just sit back and watch as the table erupted into chaos; giggling, biting his lip trying not to smile.
So, as you can imagine, someone like this is not easy to gauge. You have no idea whether he actually believes the things he's telling you or he's just saying them to make you mad.
One of the never-ending "disagreements" we seem to have involves Satan. Dad doesn't think Satan exists. Instead, he thinks that some men are so evil that their actions are what caused the Bible to define a character as Satan. Dad insists "why would a being that is created perfect rebel? He has everything? What would be the point?"
It's either at this point he has to get off the phone because he has to go do something or he quickly jumps to another argument before I even have a chance to respond to the first one.
Sometimes it felt like "he who yells the loudest" in my family wins. It can be so exhausting!
Anyway, I instead of just praying and banging my head against the wall, I decided to ask myself, "why did Satan rebel?" I mean, he did have everything.
God compared Satan to the King of Tyre in Ezekiel 28:12-15:
"Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."
Satan knew God was Supreme, he wasn't stupid. So, what was the point?
Yet still, God goes on to say in Ezekiel 28:16:
"By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire."
But why would Satan do that when he was created perfect and was in complete harmony with the Living God?
Well, pray long enough and sometimes the Holy Spirit just plops the answer right in your lap.
Part of the answer was because Satan was given so much "by the multitude of thy merchandise." The other part was because of his incredible beauty and wisdom as mentioned in Ezekiel 28:17
"Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee."
Still, you would think if Satan was so smart, he would know better. Yet, something about being so perfect and beautiful made him jealous of God. God was worthy of worship, so Satan thought he was too.
So, it was all about being worshipped. You can have everything, just like Satan; or the first humans, Adam and Eve; but if you're not being worshipped, not being venerated for all of your glory, then it's just not enough.
Well, if my Dad reads this, maybe this answer will prompt him to examine the Scriptures to refute me. I imagine no matter what I say or do is going to convince him on this matter or anything else to do with the Bible. At least I know he likes reading my articles and the letters I send him from Jack.
Perhaps the Holy Spirit will choose to reveal Christ to him through our Omega Letter family. Whatever way He chooses, I pray it's sooner rather than later. I sometimes think I hear the trumpet already!
