I'm becoming steadily more impressed with the work of the award winning historian Professor Craig S. Keener. Somehow I only heard about him for the first time earlier this year. In the past month I've gotten around to reading his GosJohn commentary. I'm almost through with volume 1, and ironically I've been seriously debating whether to start a new tome of his just recently released, before I've even finished his second (of 2) GosJohn volume!
That new release is The Historical Jesus of the Gospels. (From what I can tell, it's actually vol 1 of a 2-part series, too; the sequel will be about the miracles of Jesus.)
I'm a big fan of progressing systematic analysis, whether in metaphysics (my own forte) or historical studies. So I can't help but adore the layout of this book as indicated in the table of contents. (See the Amazon link above and Search Inside the Book for the ToC.) And I'm a big fan of footnotes: 385 PAGES OF ENDNOTES AND WORKS CITED!! In small point font. And in double columns for the index of ancient works cited. {gggggggg!} (His GosJohn commentary purportedly contains over 10,000 ancient and modern work citations. I can believe it.) I wish they were footnoted instead of endnoted (a definite plus to the GosJohn commentary), but oh well.
Most of all I'm a fan of evenhanded critical analysis of data--an ideal I sometimes fall short of, but one I wholeheartedly believe is worth aspiring to. From reading his GosJohn commentary, and from what I've thumbed through in this book so far (sigh... read now, or later? now, or later...?), I think I can agree with Anne Rice's description that they blurb on the dust jacket. (Yes, that Anne Rice. She reconverted to Roman Catholicism a couple of years ago.) "In seeking to discover and explain what we can know of Jesus in his own time, Keener... is unfailingly generous to other scholars and painstakingly careful in his own well-reasoned arguments."
That doesn't mean I agree with every single thing from the GosJohn commentary--I think he misses a couple of points in places--but I'm more than a little happy with his work so far, and I wanted to share. {s!}
In particular, I wanted to share a couple of pages from Appendix 8 to his recent work. (Edited to add: I had to type the whole thing from scratch, so there were a number of by-eye typos that crept in. I have now fixed them all, I think; if any remain, they should be considered a transcription accident, not part of the original text.) I've long maintained that there are lots of things in the Gospels that even an atheist could easily accept in principle as being good history; and as a former atheist himself, Prof. Keener having studied the data intensely now for years agrees with that assessment. He also has some cutting critiques to make of Christians that, frankly, I have to say I agree about, too. {lopsided g} So hopefully this excerpt won't be too annoying for our sceptical readers to wade through.
(I promise, I'll be putting up Part 2 of my Wolfenism article later, so you'll have something more annoying to gripe about. {g})
[pp 384-388]
My Own Journey
Many scholars today appreciate full disclosure of one's personal presuppositions, recognizing that all scholars have some. Like most scholars, I try to do my historical scholarship as a good historian. Many scholars working in historical Jesus research have personal religious commitments (Christian, Jewish, or other); others do not. But we all try to make a case that can be heard and engaged by others who may disagree with us. Having said that, some of us, myself included, would have gone into other disciplines without the element of religious interest in this particular figure. Before acquiring such interest, I did have enormous interest in the rest of the Greco-Roman world. Nevertheless, I was [at that time] reticent to study Jesus or even ancient Israel because historical study of these subjects connected to modern "religious" discussions in ways that reading about Germanicus or Nero Drusus (or even "the divine Augustus") did not.
When I was an atheist (largely for what I thought were scientific reasons), one of my central (albeit nonscientific) objections to believing anything about Jesus was that eighty percent of people in my country claimed to be his followers, yet most of them apparently lived as if it made no difference for their lives.
In an effort to be provocative, I might ask whether western Christians' frequent way of believing the resurrection is as consistent as most non-Christians' way of disbelieving it. Much of western Christendom does not proceed as if the Jesus of the Gospels is alive and continues to reign in his church. In practice, a gulf remains between their affirmation of Jesus' resurrection and their living as if he is humanity's rightful lord, so that a theological affirmation does not translate into their experience. Their "faith" constitutes mere assent to a proposition, rather than sharing Jesus' resurrection life as depicted in Paul's letters. Likewise, their devotional prayer to God often has little emotional connection to the Jesus of the Gospels; the experience of the early church that connected the Synoptics and Paul is not always their own experience. The experience of Christianity in some other parts of the world is more wholistic; indeed, in many locations Christians even show great interest in Jesus' example and teachings. At the time, however, I had personally witnessed that commitment from only a few persons, whom I thus treated as anomalous.
I reasoned that if I believed that there was truly a being to whom I owed my existence and who alone determined my eternal destiny, I would serve that being unreservedly. But whatever other religion might contain some truth, I concluded that if Christians did not really believe in Jesus, there was surely no reason for myself to do so.
When I later encountered the risen Christ in an unsolicited and unexpected personal experience, hence came to the conviction that he (not to mention the God with whom he was associated) was in fact alive, I understood that the reality of Jesus rises or falls not on how successfully his professed followers have followed his teaching, but on Jesus himself.
Such an encounter will naturally be dismissed as purely subjective by those disinclined to accept it, and admittedly, I did not have a physical "resurrection appearance". I offer this information as an explanation by way of full disclosure, not as an argument, since it functions outside the epistemological criteria used in normal academic historical Jesus work. Many historical Jesus scholars who doubt that Jesus is alive have in fact traveled the opposite direction, moving away from traditional Christian conviction. Some have done so as a result of rigid categories (so that rejecting parts of their earlier faith required rejecting the whole); others through accommodating dominant philosophical trends that made faith impossible; others because faith is often genuinely difficult (though, I think, all the more needed) in a world full of suffering; others for historiographic or other reasons. I can only recount my experience openly, as they are welcome to recount theirs, in the hope that we can dialogue further. Our experiences on both sides inform our presuppositions, for those inclined to skepticism as well as for those inclined to faith.
Concluding "Unscientific Postscript" to Appendix 8
Ending with an "unscientific postscript" runs the risk of having readers paint one's entire work and career as unscientific, especially for those who, scanning a conclusion, suppose they have reconstructed the primary theme of the entire book. (Distinguishing between the body of one's arguments and a concluding personal opinion is, however, why we normally reserve such material for a postscript.) For some readers, being able to pinpoint a scholar as Christian, Jewish, atheistic, or as holding some other view absolves the reader of the need to engage her or his arguments. Yet no scholar lacks personal perspectives, whether they are stated explicitly or not. I do not wish to conceal mine, as I believe that I came by them honestly (even if not in ways that would satisfy detractors), and as I believe that they motivate me to seek truth rigorously because I so esteem the subject matter.
But I also confine this discussion especially to the book's end-matter so as to keep the arguments in the main body of the book as rigorous and independent as possible. Some who will dismiss without consideration that research because they disapprove of my personal perspective have, if they would admit it, personal perspectives of their own.
I believe that there remains in some sectors of academia a prejudice against accepting claims about the reliability of many Gospel traditions, a prejudice that may sacrifice genuine objectivity for the sake of objectivity's appearance. Were the Gospels biographies of Greek or Roman religious figures, the prejudice against them would likely be less, but some assume that anything one tries to say about Jesus historically reflects a modern religious bias. I believe that I have highlighted sufficient evidence to show that there is plenty of historical information available about Jesus for those whose interest in studying him is purely historical, without religious considerations.
The concern about religious bias becomes most acute in the discussion of the resurrection, however. While the charge of bias might be leveled either way, that charge is often invoked before the evidence is even allowed to be weighed. Many explain the resurrection in terms of the disciples' visionary experiences; [and] such experiences can be described without prejudice to their objective content.
But if evidence seems to support the historicity of a more objective event, some view the presentation of such evidence as tendentious support for the claim of one religion (especially when an "act of God" seems the most plausible and parsimonious among proposed explanations). Academicians sometimes thus are predisposed to reject such evidence in the name of religious neutrality (and sometimes, with less pretense of "neutrality", a hostility toward supernatural religion inherited from the most extreme phase of the Enlightenment.)
If, however, our concern is with history rather than the religious use to which some may put it, we must ask first of all where the evidence points. At this point I will try to more explicitly separate the historical and theological questions, while at the same time showing where they bear on each other.
I have talked with a number of skeptics about Christian faith who, after extended conversation, admitted that their objections to the basic Gospel portrait stemmed from their concern that acknowledging more about Jesus historically would entail greater moral demands on their lives. This prejudice is not, however, the starting point of all skeptics, and was not my starting point when I was a skeptic. I was an atheist for what I felt were intellectually satisfying reasons; whether they were genuinely defensible reasons or not, they were not merely morally pragmatic ones. Because of my epistemological orientation at the time, I would have derided the intelligence of someone who rejected historical data out of moral convenience just as I derided most Christians (who I felt accepted their faith because of their upbringing or existential convenience).
I believe that, on historical grounds, an atheist could affirm most of the historical points we have established in this book. They are historical arguments, and I believe that most "neutral" observers would find them more convincing than not. As an atheist no less than subsequently as a Christian, I did desire to follow evidence, even if it crashed my own convenient philosophic system (which it ultimately did, especially the Neoplatonic part of it); I believe that I would have found arguments such as those in this book convincing.
When I was an atheist, however, my concerns were not the sorts of historical issues we have been addressing in this book. Admittedly, I believe that affirming the plausibility of the gospel narratives would have moved me to consider following Jesus in a much more significant way than I was then following various other thinkers (Greek philosophers and other sources). Yet at that point in my explorations, Jesus was an uncomfortable question I had deferred until later, and I knew Greek mythology far better than I knew biblical stories (I had read less than one chapter of the Bible--namely part of the first one, which from my cosmological standpoint revolted me). Although my primary objection to theism was that I thought that contemporary scientific philosophy could explain the universe without that hypothesis, my primary objection to Christianity in particular was that Christians did not seem to take it seriously. But because I esteemed truth as the highest value, I wanted to remain open-minded.
While one can believe many of the Gospel reports about Jesus without being a Christian, it seems to me more difficult to be a Christian while rejecting nearly all of the Gospel reports about Jesus. (Admittedly, this observation depends on how one defines "Christian". If one defines it broadly as "follower of Jesus", however, it is hard to follow the teachings and example of someone whose teachings and example remain virtually unknown.)
Historical Jesus research is a historical question; all researchers have biases, but academic dialogue allows us to challenge and probe one another's biases and seek some central, securely grounded information about Jesus. Because such conclusions usually include the minimum on which most parties can agree, they usually do not resolve (and often do not address) the question involved in religious or spiritual quests for Jesus. The approaches and goals differ, and the limitations of historiographic methodology are not limitations that must be embraced by these latter quests. Nevertheless, if the latter quests mean anything that is distinctive with regard to the person of Jesus of Nazareth, they do invite some historical exploration.
Some scholars have argued that the "Jesus" we can reconstruct from history is irrelevant to faith; others demur. While the historical method does not give us a complete picture of Jesus, however, it does call to our attention some emphases in Jesus' message and ministry that we might otherwise have overlooked. [Endnote 24: For example, McClymond notes that the sources provide not only the comfortable western interpretation of Jesus as "socially inclusive" or oriented toward "family values", but also "a homewrecker", one who favored the poor, "preached fire-and-brimstone" and "was a totalitarian".] Because churches and cultures have too often remade Jesus in our own image, going back to the sources helps to keep us honest. While academic "Jesus research" does this in a different way than pure study of the Gospels (which mostly lacks the former discipline's intractable problem of lacunae in sources), both approaches can highly important features of Jesus and challenge our biases.
Rumor has it that Prof Keener submitted an 8000 page volume on Acts, but was told to revise and resubmit. I kind of believe that rumor, too... {g!} (Though I suspect someone somewhere accidentally typed an extra zero. The GosJohn commentary, which involves both historical and theological Jesus studies, clocks in at 1600 pages more or less, by the way; this historical Jesus commentary, which focuses more on the Synoptics, only runs 393 pages. Plus endnotes, ancient and modern works cited; and the topical/authors indexes which I haven't counted yet. Yes, the apparatus to this book is approximately half its total length!)

What does it take to be voted one of the best places to live in the World? Westport in County Mayo knows
The Venice of the West
Obviously the city, town or village must possess an extraordinary aesthetic beauty, tree-lined streets, a gurgling river flowing gently by, colourful houses full of friendly locals…all that jazz. It also needs fantastic amenities, great restaurants and a thriving arts and culture scene.
Known as 'The Venice of the West' Westport in County Mayo ticks all of these boxes. But that's not why it won 'The best place to live in Ireland.'
The real reasons run deeper.
Rock Solid
It takes more than aesthetic beauty alone to win such an accolade. It takes a determined community who take great pride in their homes and town all working together towards the same goal. Westport beat off stiff competition from over 536 other locations in the Irish Times poll to be crowned champions. Their victory is down to the rock-solid sense of community spirit in Westport. For a town with a population over just a few thousand souls, there are over 100 volunteer groups in action, hands-in-gloves picking up litter, painting park benches and generally keeping Westport in winning condition.
This unwavering community spirit was also behind Westport winning the hotly contested 'Ireland's Tidiest Town' award not once, not twice but three times! Westport is also an official Irish Heritage Town, marking it as one of Ireland's must visit locations.
Food glorious food
When they're not working on the recipe for the perfect town, the good people of Westport like to partake in culinary the culinary arts (it is on the Gourmet Greenway, after all). Top of their taste tree is The Westport Food Festival.
Each September food lovers from all over Ireland and abroad flood into Westport for three days of foodie fun. Locals take tremendous pride in this festival, too, with artisan producers flocking in from the surrounding countryside to proudly present their wares.
The town centre is magically transformed into a tented food village, lined with stalls bursting with local produce from restaurants, artisan producers, chefs and cafes. Delicious aromas drift from the tent to every corner of Westport, setting a grumble in many tummies. Our advice is to wander in here properly peckish and nibble your way around the entire tent. Heaven!

The easy way Self Publish
The incredible expansion of the net, social media platforms and online forums offers authors with applicable opportunities to sell their books lucratively. Self Publishing authors are achieving best-seller rankings and attracting mainstream attention. Because the chance of learning to be a well-known author is obtainable, you should research the resources to self-publish a specialist quality manuscript. To achieve this, authors are to focus on three main parts of the publishing process. - stephen leather writer
Print-On-Demand Printers
Self-publishing authors have the option to pick which print service will assist them reach their goal. Print-on-demand (POD) printing services print books for self-publishing authors. Since Print-On-Demand printers only print your books, mcdougal needs to handle cover design, securing an editor as well as the marketing strategy. Some self-publishing authors favor POD companies since their prices are competitive and authors maintain control of the manuscript.
For authors whose goal is reaching a particular audience to advertise many and services, other print-on-demand options are feasible such as Create Space. For instance, writers that are looking to self-publish their eBooks, create space is an excellent choice. Also, it can help your reach mainstream. Amanda Hocking found the wedding guests and millions selling eBooks on Amazon.
Format and Design
Referring to eBooks brings me to formatting and designing books online. Formatting manuscripts into eBooks and e-readers like Kindle or Nook sometimes means excluding graphics which can be within your paper versions. Book cover designs will also be important. Although Create Space provides book cover templates, some covers require formatting. Another cost consideration is surely an editor. As the author, you can easily see what is not there. An editor will proof the manuscript for grammar, content and comprehension.
Finally, a marketing policy for your book is imperative. Self-publishing and traditional authors provide for marketing their books. Once a writer is apparent in regards to the goals they plan to reach using their book, they can research which marketing strategies will best meet their aspirations. For authors unfamiliar with internet marketing strategies, getting a professional will be the strategy to use.
Concentrating on these 3 areas will help self-publishing authors create eye-catching books available in paper or electronic versions. POD printers and POD publishers are around for help authors make their dreams become a reality. Remember just like reflection and research were time-consuming to write down it, formatting and marketing will be an investment of your time and resources to present a polished book that sells. - stephen leather writer

The staff was very accomedating. The ladies cleaning the rooms were kind to my little dog. She loved being petted by them.
Very friendly & helpful staff. Room and property was clean! Stayed a couple of nights while visiting this historic town. Didn't spend much time in the room, so minimal was fine. However the room still offered a refrigerator, microwave and personal size coffee maker. They offered a special parking spot for Veterans! We haven't seen this offered at a hotel...

Well it was not one of my favorite places. I knew going in it wasn't going to be top of the line, but when I used the bathroom there was hair on the toilet seat, and more hair in the tub. The rest of the room looked clean. until I noticed stains in the dust ruffle of the bed. The...
One of the older Super 8's but it was clean and comfortable. Squeaky bathroom door was annoying during the night. However, location was great and the directions from the front desk about going into Stillwater the back way was a real time saver.
Even though we had booked our room weeks before, we arrived really late at night (after midnight) from the airport due to flight delays. Luckily the lady at the front desk was very welcoming of our lateness. (Normally we get a hostile reception regardless of were when we check into any place).
The rooms are clean and well maintained. When...

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Learn more about our ranking as the top pediatric hospital here.
Angelman syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation on chromosome 15. The name of this gene is UBE3A. Normally, people inherit one copy of the gene from each parent, and both copies become active in many areas in the body. Angelman syndrome occurs when only one copy of the gene is active in certain areas of the brain.
There are no known risk factors for Angelman syndrome. In some cases, a family history may increase the chances of a baby having the disorder but the disease is rare, occurring in just 1 of every 10,000 people. If you already have a child with Angelman syndrome or are concerned about a family history, talking with your doctor or a genetic counselor may be helpful.
Children with Angelman syndrome tend to have some, but not necessarily all, of the following behaviors and characteristics:
Children with Angelman syndrome may have feeding difficulties, sleep problems and hyperactivity.
People with Angelman syndrome have almost normal life spans. Adults are not usually able to live on their own but can learn basic household tasks and can live in group homes. Some individuals can have jobs in which they are supervised directly.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

Lorraine's Bio
Customer service is always what I've done. Serving a senior requires patience, sensitivity and care to enable them to stay independent and keep their minds as youthful as they want to be. For many, their spouses, family and friends have passed. I may not be able to take the pain away but making a cup of tea, being of company, keeping them in the warmth and comfort of their home, having dinner while watching a favorite TV show can keep their minds focused on happy, positive thoughts. I have been involved in caring for loved ones for most of my life including my very own parents and 4 children. I believe laughter can add years to life so games, movies, conversations, outdoor activities keeps the mind young at heart and focused on more to come.

Soglasie, a large Russian insurer, has announced its intention to provide reinsurance capacity to cedants in Azerbaijan.
Elnur Suleymanov, general director at Soglasie, said that the company will mainly be looking toreinsure large risks.
"As far as I know, the local companies are able to retain reinsurance risks for no more than $10 million - $20 million, and that is why we, as a company with serious capital, will accept risks on reinsurance of such types as construction and installation works, maritime navigation, air vehicles," he said.
Soglasie will also be offering an exclusive product that provides insurance for commercial loans, as well as co-operating for more than a year with only Azerbaijani reinsurer AzRe.
Soglasie passed the state registration in tax bodies of Azerbaijan on 19 June 2012, and this year the company's reinsurance capacity has been increased up to 3.825 billion rubles.

"You really need to blow your own horn — gently and persistently — because no one else will blow it for you," says Patrick Lennahan, a career counselor and organizational consultant in Rhode Island. "Don't expect your boss to know anything that you haven't told him or her."
Gather your evidence
You can quantify your accomplishments with a one- to two-page "professional accomplishments" summary. List your major accomplishments and show how you reduced costs, increased sales or improved the company, says Patti Hathaway, author of Managing Upward: Strategies for Succeeding with Your Boss.
Before you start your list, find a copy of your job description or last year's review. Match your successes with your job requirements, your boss' priorities and the organization's mission.
Don't forget: Getting positive PR for the company, serving on community boards or participating in volunteer activities that attract attention to the company might not be quantifiable, but they're worth mentioning.
The more concrete examples you have to back up your achievements the better. Lin Grensing-Pophal, author of Human Resource Essentials, gives an example of a graphic designer who came to her annual review with samples of her work and showed how the direct-mail pieces she designed had improved sales for the company.
But remember to keep your accomplishments list short. You're highlighting your successes, not the everyday duties you've performed over the last year.
Present your case
Once you have your list, prepare for your sit-down review as you would for a job interview. "Conduct your own self-appraisal or evaluation, and be objective," says David Dunken, CEO of a professional staffing company in Atlanta.
Practicing for a review with a friend or family member also can help prepare you for the boss' questions. After all, you'll want to be able to speak to your accomplishments clearly and confidently.
When you talk to your supervisor, convey your drive and commitment to the company.
"What I want to see in a self-review more than anything else is energy and enthusiasm," says Kathleen Myers, a corporate trainer in Iowa. "Everything else will be read with much more goodwill and optimism if the employee tells his or her story with the vitality of an employee who is determined to contribute and confident that they can find more and better ways to be of value to the company."
Although you may be prepared to make a case for superior performance that deserves a raise or a promotion, it's also important to listen to feedback from your boss.
"Confidently accept responsibility for mistakes — even those of subordinates — and describe what you learned from them," Myers says. "Managers know all too well that mistakes happen; your response is more important than the mistake itself."
Throughout your review, show how you're a team player. Giving credit to your colleagues where it's due won't overshadow your achievements; instead, it shows that you understand the benefits of collaboration.
Getting a raise
When the conversation turns to money, be prepared. Know in advance how much you will ask for and what you'll settle for. Expect to compromise.
"If you want a raise or a promotion, this is the time to put the suggestion into motion with a solid foundation of information," Lennahan says.
Do research on a salary calculator to find out what others in your position in your region are paid. Knowing your worth shows your supervisor you are aware of the professional market. If you're being paid less than others in your profession, you have grounds to ask for a raise.
The easiest way to ask for more money is to couch your request in the context of your achievements. Start with your high appraisal marks and successes, emphasizing your contributions and worth to the organization.
If you don't get the raise you want, find out why and what you need to do next time to get it.
"Ask for specific information about what you can do between now and your next review to improve your rating," Grensing-Pophal says. "Then, follow up with your boss at certain points in the year to see whether you've improved your performance."
If a raise isn't possible, think about other perks that would make your work life more enjoyable, such as flex time, telecommuting or more vacation days, says Steven Rothberg, CEO of CollegeRecruiter.com.
Lastly, if your review doesn't go as you had hoped, now is the time to start preparing for next year's. Sharpen your skills and apply your boss' suggestions. Use this review to understand what you need to do to get an excellent review next year — and the raise you want.

Faces Forward
When fine artist Jenny Morgan last showed work in these parts, the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design grad was all the buzz young, promising and lauded for her striking self-portraits and multiple canvases spread with cropped nudes. Now shes back, after a grad-school hiatus at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, with an MFA in her back pocket and a new, full-frontal yet fully calculated visceral style of portraiture to show off. And shell do just that in This Too Shall Pass, her first show here since 2007, which opens today at Plus Gallery with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m.
Ive really been anticipating this exhibition, says Plus owner Ivar Zeile. You never know where an artist is going to go if the work will get better and get more challenging and risky. In this case, it has, in a hyper-real fashion that goes so far as to boldly intimate the actual physical structure beneath the skin of each subject. But theres even more there to pique Zeiles interest: The people depicted in the paintings are either in Denver or have passed through Denver at one time or another, including of couple of current and past artists at the gallery, he adds. Its nice to show work that has a connection to the local audience.
This Too remains on view at Plus, 2501 Larimer Street, through November 28; get details at www.plusgallery.com or call 303-296-0927.

Bibliothèque nationale de France.
Jean-Luc Marion on the second-century apologists (who would have had little or nothing to do with modern "apologetics"), "Apologétique et apologie," Communio: revue catholique internationale 39, no. 1-2 (janvier-avril 2014): 15 (9-17).
The "accusation [of atheism] remains . . . perfectly current: not only because Christians find themselves persecuted by other religions and marginalized by widespread unbelief, but because they contest the quasi gods of contemporaneity ('values', 'pluralism', 'tolerance', the 'mastery of the end of life', the 'freedom of choice', [economic] 'growth', the 'market, etc.)" (14).
"God, the true [God], is not nominated, but only de-nominated [(Dieu, le vrai, ne se nomme pas, au mieux il se dé-nomme)]" (16).
On the other hand, surely this was an urban legend: "Tiberius accordingly, in whose days the Christian name made its entry into the world, having himself received intelligence from Palestine of events which had clearly shown the truth of Christ's divinity, brought the matter before the senate, with his own decision in favour of Christ. The senate, because it had not given the approval itself, rejected his proposal. Cæsar held to his opinion, threatening wrath against all accusers of the Christians" (Tertullian, Apologeticum 5.1).

Author has written 1 story for Devil May Cry.
Hello :)

However, because she had survived the ritual, Emily finds herself in over her head as Dante's evil twin brother wishes to sacrifce her once again, to make sure his place on Earth remains so.

I remember the days when gold and brass dominated home decor. Well, at least at my house : ) I eventually moved on in my decorating style and left gold behind, in favor of silver and all kinds of galvanized goodness. In fact, the chalk board frame in the picture was gold when Pam and I bought it at a yard sale a couple of summers ago. Naturally, we promptly painted it white and turned it into a chalk board that we use for our sign when we sell at the Nashville Flea Market.
But lately I've noticed that gold is making its way back into more decorating. And when I've noticed the gold framed chalk boards in others' pictures, I've really liked them. I remember a while back reading where someone noted that the new gold was prettier than the old gold. I agree. This frame was actually a shiny, brassy gold in its first life. But now, it is a pretty deep gold.
In fact, the color is Vintage Gold by Martha Stewart Living.
I don't know about you, but I really like the chalk markers for writing on chalk boards. They don't wipe away as easily as regular chalk, but are good for phrases or quotes you plan to leave up for a while.
You can't tell much from these pictures, but I've begun (began?) to paint my office white. One wall at a time. Well, sometimes its part of one wall at a time. One and three quarters walls to go and I'll share more pictures. I've been wanting a white room for a very long time. This room was actually part of an elaborate plan on my part to convince the husband to (happily) consent to my painting our dining room. He doesn't always feel comfortable with change, so a well laid plan was necessary.
Pam isn't married so she makes changes around her place more frequently than I do. Now, if she would just bring the camera back so I can post some pictures here on the blog!
Thanks for stopping by!

One of Southeast Asia's most popular zoo's is also the cruelest towards its animals.
Indonesia's Surabaya Zoo is home to almost 3,500 creatures, most of whose health and living conditions make it look like they are at a torture camp.
The Zoo of Death
A black bear with lesions
This lion has had its teeth pulled out; its hunting instinct completely gone.
Melani, a severely underweight Sumatran tiger, is wasting away.
The 18-month-old African lion named Michael was found early on January 8th, 2014.
The zoo's last remaining giraffe perished. An autopsy revealed a "beach-ball sized wad of plastic food wrappers" inside its stomach that weighed a shocking 39 pounds.

Really polished effects in this - it was like playing the intro titles to a Hitchcock movie! Very cinematic effects. And I love the upbeat mood and music despite the dark and intriguing storyline... Real good!
