Mr Harding, 46, was most recently chief executive of Rio's copper division, a job that saw him spearhead the company's biggest growth project outside of iron ore, the $US10 billion-plus Oyu Tolgoi development in Mongolia.
But the keen marathon runner and University of NSW mining engineering graduate has at least some experience in iron ore, starting his Rio career with Hamersley Iron in 1992 and spending six years in the division.
"[Andrew's] extremely well qualified to take [the iron ore business] to the next stage," Mr Walsh, the previous head of iron ore, said in delivering Rio's 2012 results yesterday.
As he has been based in London for three years, Mr Harding is not particularly well known to the local investment community. But those that are familiar with him say he should do well.
"He is a steady hand," JPMorgan analyst Lyndon Fagan said. "I would see him as a solid appointment and a well experienced executive that shouldn't have any trouble whatsoever running that business."
As part of the new job, Mr Harding will relocate to Perth and take charge of Rio's WA expansion plans, which, unlike those of its major rival BHP Billiton, have not been affected by last year's iron ore price slump.
Rio said yesterday it was bringing forward the expansion of its Pilbara operations to 290 million tonnes a year by three months and now expected to hit that rate in the September quarter this year.
"This is good news for us in terms of bringing on tonnes earlier," Mr Walsh said.
"It reflects the type of performance we've seen in the iron ore business for a considerable time and I'm quite pleased with the expansion work there."
Rio's iron ore division delivered net earnings for 2012 of $US9.24 billion, down 30 per cent on the previous year due to lower iron ore prices partly offset by higher volumes.
The company said it expected to produce 265 million tonnes of iron ore from its operations in WA and Canada this year, subject to weather constraints.
With Mr Harding's move to iron ore, responsibility for Oyu Tolgoi and the rest of the copper division has passed to Jean-Sebastien Jacques, who was formerly copper president, international operations (those outside the United States).
Mr Jacques has been with Rio for just over a year, but brings an excellent business pedigree. He was formerly group director strategy for Tata Steel and prior to that filled a similar role at Corus, another steelmaker.
Mr Walsh said the management changes in copper left him with no concern in respect to the situation at Oyu Tolgoi, where the Mongolian government has reportedly been pushing for modifications to an investment agreement that gives it 34 per cent of the project.
"Jean-Sebastien has already been involved in discussions in Mongolia," he said. "In fact he was there last week as part of the shareholder meeting with the government. Of course, Andrew will be there on call if Jean-Sebastien needs him."
Rio insists first commercial production at Oyu Tolgoi will take place before July.
A feasibility study on a second stage expansion of the project is likely to be released in the first half of next year.

Anderson, who is still struggling to nail down a player in United's team, has sung the praises of Sir Alex Ferguson. He claims that our manager is a father figure to all the players and takes a great interest in their lives.
"He's a father to all the players, a very respected person, and when he retires the football world will really feel his loss," Anderson told RTP. "He always helped me, and I have a great affection for him. He lives for training and always wants to know how his players and their families are."
Anderson spent a season and a half at Porto before joining United and played 24 games for them. He has admitted in the future he would like to return to Portugal but he wouldn't ever play for his former club's rivals, Benfica.
"I would like to return to Porto one day, but I would never play for Benfica," he said. "I'm sure of that. It's not in my plans to play for Benfica, although I respect the club."

Winter has arrived with a vengence in the area yesterday. With gale force winds rocketing the Detroit area yesterday quite a few people are now without power. Sure we didn't get any measurable amount of snow but it is cold out there. Maybe I'm spoiled with all the good weather we have had this fall.
We had a great fall. Above average temperatures for most of October and November. It was nice now we have to get settled in for 3 months of frigid winter. I don't know about you but it's cold and I'm not looking forward to it.

comp video of hawk 161524, 122142 and owl(2 vids of May 8 1 vid May 24)
I live in Worcester, Massachusetts which is an ideal haven for mid-life parents to raise a family. When we first moved here I created a sanctuary in our back yard for birds because I wanted to be able to watch them frolic and nest while eating breakfast each morning. For 2 years my plan worked but one day a cooper's hawk turned my sanctuary into its own hunting grounds. That's just how life is. You work hard and build but eventually the fruit of your labor gets stolen or destroyed.
Let's ask ourselves about how this is true with our finances. As we can see in the first video clip, a hawk is being pestered by a small finch. This aggressive little guy just keeps attacking but the hawk isn't too worried. It actually seems like it's ignoring the offensive that's mounted against it. But later we see that the persistence of the little bird pays off and the hawk flies away. The same goes for the second clip with the little blue jay. The racket is non stop as the blue jay and his pals try to scare off an owl. These small, combined assaults on the owl would have continued all day had I not scared the owl off with my camera.
Let's ask ourselves about how the principle of the two birds can be applied to our finances. Being vigilant and consistent against debt and the emergencies that cause debt can go a long way. To give a real life example of my own, here in Worcester, Massachusetts the recession of 2008 was really bad and my husband lost his job like so many others. We had to learn to do without our usual comforts for about 8 months until he found another job. As I look back on that miserable situation I can say that it had an obvious silver lining. It forced me to think out of the box and create income in some unusual ways.
During my learning phase my first two business ideas did bring in a little money but have since fizzled out. My third thrust into entrepreneurship took off and has provided us with a substantial nest egg for another recession and/or retirement. This helpful income stream is online based and that's as far as I'll go into detail about it. But I will say that it is an online help forum which fits into a lesser known niche. As we ponder this evolution for the better in my own family, it's less unnerving to imagine the different kinds of "hawks" in life which come to kill, steal and destroy. I'll write a list of some of them below.
job loss
health issues
car accidents
martial law
natural disasters
As I said, these are just a few major things I can think of. Since we're just human there's no way to be free from these kinds of emergencies. But we can be like the little birds in the video that remain vigilant and work consistently to protect their territory. So the big question I can pose to this readership is, "Why wait for an emergency to start a side business?" Doing something now may prove to be vital in the future, keeping you out of debt and utter ruin. When faced with daunting news or lack of progress, keep at it and your persistence will reward you.

KJV Matthew 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: 5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. 7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
The Blind See and the Lame Walk
This Gospel lesson announces the Messianic reign of Jesus the Son of God, when Jesus tells the disciples of John about His role as the Savior of the world and the absolute necessity of believing in Him.
Apostates (unbelievers who remain in the visible church) like to agonize about the "Messianic self-consciousness of Jesus." Let me parse that term. It means, "Did Jesus really think He was the Messiah, or did His followers impose this view on Him?" A prime example of this treatment is the 1980s film, "The Last Temptation of Christ," a wretched movie based upon the horrid novel by Nikos Kanzantzakis. The film is now being shown on cable TV.
[Kazantzakis first embraced Buddhism, but then rejected Buddha as a Messiah for an earlier stage in God's suffering struggle to evolve. He was then captured by Nietzsche and Karl Marx, although he rejected their strict, atheistic materialism in favor of Hegel's concept of the material evolving into the spiritual. Finally, he reconciled his commitment to eternal struggle with his asceticism, and devoted the rest of his life to contributing to Man's struggle to grow into God, not by physical conflict, but by his writing. He was the author of ten novels, ten dramas, five travel books, and assorted collections of letters, essays, and poems. He is best known for his novels Zorba the Greek, The Greek Passion (from which came the film He Who Must Die), The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel, and The Last Temptation of Christ. From http://www.answers.org/Issues/Last_Temptation.html]
The American expression of this fad, which began in the 19th century, is often cloaked in the term "the mind of Christ." This use of "the mind of Christ" is a clever way to turn the emphasis of the Bible from faith in Christ to faith in what apostates propose as the actual agenda of Jesus. They do not believe in Him and do not think He believed Himself to be the Messiah. Therefore, their sermons and books emphasize peace, social justice, political activism, government regulation. They believe the Kingdom of God to be heaven on earth, which we will realize once their program is completely established. The agenda was first set in the Social Service movement, which was renamed the Social Gospel, and it began in the 19th century, using this view of Jesus. Franklin Roosevelt's administration was the first example of the Social Gospel being established through government programs. All of his new programs were drawn from the Social Gospel agenda.
The Federal Council of Churches turned into the National Council of Churches, both energized as the institutional arm of the Social Gospel movement. It is important to understand this in realizing why the mainline churches in the NCC are so radical. They believe with all their hearts that the Kingdom of God (their version) was the real agenda of Jesus, or at least it should have been. Not one of these leaders believes in Jesus as the Messiah, the true Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary.
This Gospel
In this lesson we have a powerful antidote to the dreams and illusions of the apostates. First of all, John sent two of his disciples to ask Jesus. John was in prison already and soon to die at the hands of Herod's favorite dancing girl.
KJV Matthew 14:3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. 4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. 8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. 9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. 10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
Naturally we get puzzled over John sending his disciples to ask Jesus about His true role. Didn't John baptize Jesus, knowing Him to be the promised Messiah?
KJV Matthew 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
I think John sent his disciples because he knew he was facing death at any moment. He believed in Jesus as the Christ but also wanted assurance from the Savior. Then he would know that his work in preparing the people for the Messiah was not in vain.
If we suspect someone is a fraud, we do not ask him, "Are you really what you claim to be?" Frauds are good at posing in certain roles. If we suspect someone, we check him out with another person. For instance, when I had my tires replaced at a Shell station, the manager wanted to do all kinds of work on my transmission. I asked him some open questions on the phone and wrote down his responses. Then I phoned a transmission dealer and repeated the same phrases. The transmission dealer explained what the terms meant and said, "Whoever told you that is a liar or just incompetent."
In contrast, when we trust someone and want more assurance, we are likely to ask him directly. For instance, I know a man who served in World War II in the Pacific. He used to be one of the first men out of the LST (Landing Ship Tank), carrying smoke generators to disguise their landing. I would not hesitate to ask him for details about his work in the Pacific theatre.
But imagine John's role. God appointed him to be the final prophet before the coming of the Messiah. John's ministry was foretold in Isaiah, one of the most important books of the Bible.
KJV Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: :7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
John baptized Jesus and spoke the truth to Herod. Then he was thrown into a dark prison, doubtless shut off from sunlight. In the isolation of a prison the mind is free to wander and speculate. The first temptation anyone would have is, "Could I be completely wrong? If this is God's will, to proclaim the Messiah, then why am I facing death?" It is much easier to read about prophets than to be one.
So we could see John's message through his disciples as a parallel to the father of the stricken child:
KJV Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
We should never forget that the cure for doubt is the Gospel and not human reason. Jesus' response to John is Gospel.
Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: 5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Jesus' response is the fulfillment of another Isaiah passage:
KJV Isaiah 35:4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. 5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. 7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
For the most part Jesus hid His divine nature. He grew up as an ordinary child in a normal family. He learned the work of His earthly father. He walked with His disciples in His earthly ministry. He ate food and drank water. Jesus did not perform miracles at every stop. When miracles (signs) were demanded, He denounced the lack of faith being shown. However, when doubts wavered He often did the unexpected, to strengthen the faith of the disciples.
We are tempted to say, "Three years with Jesus and they still doubted Him at times. They still were afraid of the future." And how many years have we had with Jesus? The youngest child who worships with his family has had more years with Jesus. Some of us have had many decades, and still we have doubts. We still waver. America has a veritable mountain of Bibles and yet the typical American Christian will put up with any attack on the Scriptures from anyone wearing a robe: male, female, or mixed.
Jesus declared His divinity in unmistakable terms. He gave sight to the blind. He healed the sick. He raised the dead. He commanded the lame to walk and they walked. He loosed the tongue of the mute. The deaf could hear again. The poor were hearing the Gospel.
Only God could perform these miracles. So Jesus in His response to John announced His divine power and His confession, "Yes, I am the promised Messiah." John was able to face his beheading with that knowledge. He believed in Jesus and Jesus validated his faith in Him.
This confession of Jesus was also important for the disciples and followers of John. He had a great following at the time of his death; that is why Herod feared him. Instead of being disheartened, the followers of John could see that their hopes were being fulfilled before their eyes.
Jesus also said, 6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
This word "offended" is badly misused today in English. Many times people think that must never be offended, have their feathers ruffled, for any reason. If their feathers are ruffled, they want them unruffled.
In this case, the verb comes from the word for the trigger mechanism in a trap. The skandalon (in Greek) was not a scandal or an offense, but a sensitive trigger to make a trap work.
Therefore, in this verse, "whosoever shall not be offended in me" means "whosoever shall not reject Me as Savior." The death-trap in relationship to the Gospel means doubting Christ for any reason. Many people have said they stopped believing when they ran into an incurable illness in their family or themselves. Others find certain philosophies or religions more appealing to them, so they retain a sentimental attachment to Jesus but they do not believe in Him.
The mainline theologians are offended by the atoning death of Jesus. This matter comes closest to the meaning of "shall not be offended in Me." For instance, one of our email friends read a book called Christus Victor, by Gustav Aulen. My liberal professor at Notre Dame loved the book because it tries to undermine the entire meaning of the atonement. How could God require the death of His Son? Isn't that nasty? The book is clearly against traditional Christianity (without explicitly saying so) but it is never clearly in favor of a position.
I can get you to doubt something without giving you a replacement. I asked some children to reach into a brown paper bag. They were willing until I said something inside had teeth. Pretty quickly their imaginations kicked into 4th gear and every single one refused to reach in. So I pulled out a comb. I got them to doubt the safety of that ordinary looking bag by telling them what would make them think of danger.
That example is how apostates get people to doubt in the truth of the Scriptures. The Lutheran synodical leaders work the same way. They do not say, "Stop believing in the Word." They say, "Get out your graph paper and chart your membership statistics. Read these helpful books from Fuller Seminary and our dear friend Waldo Werning."
The unraveling of the synods is another cause for offense. One person wrote to me, "What's left?"
I responded, "The Scriptures. The Book of Concord. Luther. Chemnitz. Gerhard. Chytraeus. The Means of Grace. Christ."
When we speak of Christ, we must remember that the Gospel He brings is not limited by the failings of man. The truth of the Word remains God's Word and belongs only to Him.
God brought many people to the Gospel during the Reformation and many people abandoned the Gospel just as quickly. This was not due to a weakness in the Gospel or in God, but because of people being offended in some way and turning away on their own.
The unfortunate tendency today is the fruit of the Flower Generation of the 1960s and 1970s. Anyone who works or relates to others will see this Flower Child response everywhere, especially because the Flower Children of that era have children of their own. (The curse was fulfilled when their mothers said, "I hope you have one just like you.")
For them, the Gospel means always being forgiven for everything, without any mention of the Law or contrition. This attitude so permeates our society that anyone who thinks otherwise is an exception. Therefore, we see the following examples of being offended, because the Gospel has been reduced to forgiveness without the Law or contrition or faith:
1. You cannot deny Holy Communion to visitors because it is withholding the Gospel from them.
2. You must allow joint worship and communion with all confessions because we all believe in Jesus.
3. You cannot speak about right and wrong.
4. The pastor cannot discipline anyone because he is also a sinner. Therefore, I cannot be disciplined for anything by anyone.
5. I cannot attend any church because all churches are full of hypocrites.
I have mentioned other ways in which people are offended by the Gospel, because it includes more than they wish. One pastor could not believe in the Six Day Creation. Now he is a minister in the United Church of Christ. One man argued against the immortality of the soul. One technical person said he could not accept the Christian faith rejecting a good man like Albert Einstein, because he admired Einstein.
This term "Gospel" can be used in two ways, as noted by the Book of Concord and Walther's Law and Gospel. Sometimes we use "Gospel" to mean the complete message of the Scriptures, both Law and Gospel. If someone is called a Gospel preacher, it does not mean that he never mentions the 10 Commandments.
Jesus certainly taught the Law. The verse under consideration is both Law and Gospel.
The Gospel is:
6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
The implied Law is:
"You are not blessed but condemned to Hell if you let doubts and human reason lead to a rejection of Me."
All the people who argue against the Law in the name of the Gospel are in fact offended by Christ. As Luther said, if we remove the Law, the Gospel is also removed. There is no reason for Christ if there is no Law.
How tragic that Christian News has aligned itself with the Universalists of Seminex and WELS by teaching that everyone is forgiven of their sins without faith!
The banner of Seminex was "Gospel reductionism." Everything was Gospel, according to them. Everyone was forgiven (except Jack Preus). One early Seminex convention had this theme, "Free To Be." As Paul Tillich, the famously adulterous theologian wrote, "The Courage to Be." That was the message of the 1970s. We even had a band concert where the narrator said pompously, "Go. Be. But forgot no one." I don't know how anyone said those words without laughing.
Later, Seminex (Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, in Exile) ordained homosexuals and became the official seminary of the Metropolitan Community Church, a denomination for homosexuals and lesbians. Still later Seminex merged into the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Now the LCMS is adopting the homosexual agenda of Seminex, under the conservative leadership of Al Barry and Herman Otten.
God is showing people what happens when the Law is removed, when people are promised that they are justified without faith. How hypocritical of Otten and the rest to denounce the results of their apostasy.
Not long ago I was digging in the front of the yard where the previous owners put down a fine gravel over a plastic layer. I found it irritating and tore as much as I could away. I like soil without the weed barrier. But then the weeds arrived with watering. I sprayed. I pulled. The weeds defeated me because the barrier was gone.
The Law will always ruffle our feathers. It is supposed to strike us, break our bones, humble us. No one has ever enjoying hearing the Holy Spirit work through the Law. But the answer is not to remove the ministry of the Law. The Law must remain as long as we are sinners, as long as we are alive. If this offends us, we are in grave danger of abandoning the Gospel in the name of the Gospel.
"For this reason the catholic church preaches that little children ought to be baptized, because of original sin, concerning which that most holy man well exclaimed: 'I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.'"

"And when, in two questions concerning the Virgin Mary, the limits set by the Scripture had already been exceeded, some began to contend in the schools that also the Virgin Mary had been conceived without original sin. Of this opinion Scotus later became the patron...But many, like Thomas, Bonaventura, Gregory of Ariminium, etc., at that time contradicted this opinion, because it was not only set forth without the Word of God and the testimonies of antiquity but it also conflicted with clear testimonies of Scripture."

"This is the situation with him: the greater his external restraint from evil, the greater his inward hatred of him who restrains. His character is in the scales; when one side goes up, the other goes down. While outward sin decreases, inward sin increases. We know from experience that those youths most strictly reared are, when given liberty, more wicked than young men less rigidly brought up. So impossible it is to improve human nature with commandments and punishments; something else is necessary."

"Take heed, then, to embrace the message of these words presenting the love and kindness of God to all men. Daily exercise your faith therein, entertaining no doubt of God's love and kindness toward you, and you shall realize His blessings. Then you may with perfect confidence ask what you will, what your heart desires, and whatever is necessary for the good of yourself and your fellow-men. But if you do not so believe, it were far better you had never heard the message. For by unbelief you make false these precious, comforting, gracious words. You conduct yourself as if you regarded them untrue, which attitude is extreme dishonor to God; no more enormous sin could be committed."

"Here our adversaries inveigh against Luther also because he wrote that 'Original sin remains after Baptism.'They add that this article was condemned by Leo X. But His Imperial Majesty will find on this point a manifest slander. For our adversaries know in what sense Luther intended this remark, that original sin remains after Baptism. He always wrote thus, namely, that Baptism removes the guilt of original sin, although the material, as they call it, of the sin, i. e., concupiscence, remains. He also added in reference to the material that the Holy Ghost, given through Baptism, begins to mortify the concupiscence, and creates new movements [a new light, a new sense and spirit] in man."

"Also they teach that since the fall of Adam, all men begotten in the natural way are born with sin, that is, without the fear of God, without trust in God, and with concupiscence; and that this disease, or vice of origin, is truly sin, even now condemning and bringing eternal death upon those not born again through Baptism and the Holy Ghost.

The world is full of blasphemies against God and of wicked opinions, and the devil keeps entangled in these bands those who are wise and righteous [many hypocrites who appear holy] in the sight of the world. In other persons grosser vices manifest themselves. But since Christ was given to us to remove both these sins and these punishments, and to destroy the kingdom of the devil, sin and death,it will not be possible to recognize the benefits of Christ unless we understand our evils. For this reason our preachers have diligently taught concerning these subjects, and have delivered nothing that is new, but have set forth Holy Scriptures and the judgments of the holy Fathers."

"And first, it is true that Christians should regard and recognize as sin not only the actual transgression of God's commandments; but also that the horrible, dreadful hereditary malady by which the entire nature is corrupted should above all things be regarded and recognized as sin indeed, yea, as the chief sin, which is a root and fountainhead of all actual sins. And by Dr. Luther it is called a nature-sin or person-sin, thereby to indicate that, even though a person would think, speak, or do nothing evil (which, however, is impossible in this life, since the fall of our first parents), his nature and person are nevertheless sinful, that is, thoroughly and utterly infected and corrupted before God by original sin, as by a spiritual leprosy; and on account of this corruption and because of the fall of the first man the nature or person is accused or condemned by God's Law, so that we are by nature the children of wrath, death, and damnation, unless we are delivered therefrom by the merit of Christ."

"But the chief office or force of the Law is that it reveal original sin with all its fruits, and show man how very low his nature has fallen, and has become [fundamentally and] utterly corrupted; as the Law must tell man that he has no God nor regards [cares for] God, and worships other gods, a matter which before and without the Law he would not have believed. In this way he becomes terrified, is humbled, desponds, despairs, and anxiously desires aid, but sees no escape; he begins to be an enemy of [enraged at] God, and to murmur, etc. This is what Paul says, Romans 4:15: 'The Law worketh wrath.'

"In the Formula of Concord, Article XI is closely related to most of the other articles, particularly to Article I, Of Original Sin, and Article II, Of Free Will and Conversion. Election is to conversion what the concave side of a lens is to the convex. Both correspond to each other in every particular. What God does for and in man when He converts, justifies, sanctifies, preserves, and finally glorifies him, He has in eternity resolved to do,--that is one way in which eternal election may be defined. Synergists and Calvinists, however, have always maintained that the Second Article is in a hopeless conflict with the Eleventh. But the truth is, the Second fully confirms and corroborates the Eleventh, and vice versa; for both maintain the sola gratia as well as the universalis gratia."

"Strigel's views concerning the freedom of man's will in spiritual matters may be summarized as follows: Man, having a will, is a free agent, hence always able to decide for or against. This ability is the 'mode of action' essential to man as long as he really is a man and in possession of a will. Even in matters pertaining to grace this freedom was not entirely lost in the Fall. It was impeded and weakened by original sin, but not annihilated."

"'Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death.'

"It is interesting, however, that, as Millard Meiss has emphasized, the Dominicans were particularly instrumental in fostering the cult of the nursing Virgin. They were the only order in the Church that continually and vehemently opposed the growing belief in the Immaculate Conception of Mary. And if Mary was free from all stain of original sin, then lactation might not be her inheritance."
Marina Warner, Alone of All Her Sex, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1976, p. 204.

Ninja vs Watermelon
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Nicely done. But, I think it needs some sound effects when it comes to the blade and fruit slicing. If you need some sound effects there is plenty to download from Foley sites and Royalty free sites as well. I like the character movement and camera angles but I believe you can do much better.
Overall, well done and well animated.

Middle School Drama
Remember how important it was to fit in, to have the right clothes, the right shoes, the right hair?
Remember how the "mean girls" treated those who didn't quite fit in?
Those feelings stuck with me all these years. So much so that I dreaded my little Josie reaching this stage of life.
Well, now she's reached it! Ugh!
She's constantly distraught over how this one group of girls is treating her other friends. My heart really breaks for her. I really just want to take her in my arms and shield her from all of the drama!
She's her own person. Which makes me sooo happy! She doesn't go out of her way to fit in and I think that is why so many kids like her. She really tries to distance herself as much as she can from all of the drama.
However, because she's a little sweetie-pie, and cares so much for people, it hurts her to watch this all go on.
She called me tonight at work and was telling me that this particular group of girls wouldn't leave her alone tonight at Youth Center. They kept on her about not hanging out with this one particular girl, because they are singling this girl out for some reason.
I told her that she needs to just tell them that she will be friends with whoever she wants and that she doesn't want any part of the drama that they are trying to create.
Triple UGH!!!
Any advice, ladies????

Wow, my daughter has been going thru this for a couple of years now. She is 15 and tries to get along with everyone. In doing so, that in and of itself, at times doesn't make her the most favored person to hang out with. Because she likes everyone and doesn't let others sway her one way or another. I am very proud of her for that, but it is hard to see her come home upset because of others hurtful things they feel they have to say. All I can say is your daughter has to be true to herself and be a friend to everyone...even if it's not the "popular" thing to do! It is hard to go thru though for us Mom's! Good luck!ReplyDelete
Oh Dawn, I'm right there with ya girl. I was not bullied, but rather tormented as a child. I had the same concerns for my own girls as they got older. My oldest is now 14 and Praise God she hasn't had to deal with bullying, but the meanness of our time pales in comparison to what's going on these days. I'm glad that bullying has come to the forefront these days and that finally something is being done about it. Keep telling your daughter to be herself and encourage her to surround herself with good kids and she'll be fine. Certainly being involved in youth group is a postitive step in the right direction. And just pray, pray , pray!!!ReplyDelete
That is tough girl can be so rotten! Good luck I am sure it will work out!ReplyDelete
Oh, I so agree with Kim....for many years now, my daughter has preferred being friends with boys, to avoid the girl drama. She hates it, and has done well with it, but she is extra stubborn and very independent. I am so sorry for your daughter that she is experiencing this. Like Kim said, pray, pray, pray......and help her be herself!ReplyDelete
i was afraid for my son. i have 3 girls and 3 boys, but the one i was most worried about most was my youngest son. he is 15 and he is my social bug and sensative too. he just has a big heart for people and the Lord. i would tell him pray for the people at your school. this made it easier. i feel for you and your daughter and will pray for you two :)ReplyDelete

Can you imagine living in the most loving, fun and creative environment in which you can freely express yourself without being (or feeling) judged by other peoples opinions? That's what Burning man is for me! Almost 70.000 people from all over the world come together to celebrate life, create an entire city in the middle of the desert for a week and live together in harmony. There's so much to do and to see at this amazing festival; large art pieces are spread all over "the playa", there are workshops, lectures, performances, yoga classes and lot's of party's with great DJ's. And guess what? You don't have to bring money anywhere since Burning Man is a gifting community; we all share what we have! Out of this world right?! You have to experience this at least once in your life; put in on your bucket list!
(read more about the 10 principals of Burning Man)
The desert is quiet a harsh environment to submerge yourself in; temperatures rise to 100 degrees during the day and at night it can fall below 40 degrees. You get around by foot or by bicycle in the very dusty and windy open desert unless you get a ride or build an art car that is approved by the DMA (Department of Mutant Vehicles). Goggles and a dusk mask are basic necessities in this somewhat post-apocalyptic world.
Some people sleep in tents, others in the open air or in their car, but many people seem to enjoy the luxury of an RV. My hubby and I were "dry camping" out of our RV which means that there's no water or electric hook up; you fill up the RV once before driving into the desert and that's all you get. We had 66 gallons water available for 2 persons for 7 days and that includes showers and washing dishes. Normally at home a person uses 25 to 50 gallons for each shower! It was a challenge to be very conservative and smart about the use of water but surprisingly it worked out perfectly! It's an amazing feeling to know that you can do with so much less.
One of the biggest benefits of camping out of an RV is that it has a fully equipped kitchen; Yes you know me; I stocked up the fridge and freezer with the best food and ate as good as I would at home. That's what makes me a very happy camper 😉
I learned a lot from this trip, here are a few "camping cuisine" tips;
– I made a big pot of lentils, which proved a great basic as I was able to create 3 different meals from that.
– I brought 4-5 days worth of fresh produce, including some items that were not completely ripe, so they would ripen during the trip.
-Bring a blender: I brought my Vitamix (yes, I'm an addict 😉 ) and made lots of smoothies and delicious soups, a quick way to get lots of nutrition.
– Bring some frozen food for the days you don't feel like cooking; I bought the most delicious Pad Thai at a favorite Thai restaurant and froze it, some lnsanely tasty ravioli and some frozen flaxseed breakfast waffles.
-Bring some canned food. I brought salmon, tuna, sardines and beans.
-Bring drinking water: We used a gallon per day for 2 persons.
What didn't work: Don't put things you don't want to freeze in a cooler with dry ice. I made that mistake; a single layer of dry ice on the bottom froze everything rock hard and spoiled most of the fruit and potatoes I had in there.
I hope by sharing my adventures I've sparked your adventurous spirit!
Follow your heart , make things happen, live your dream!
XO Jill

The purpose of this meditation is to generate a very strong feeling of being as concerned for others as we are for ourselves, and then to consider what this means in light of great compassion.
I began with breathing meditation, and mixing my mind with my Guru's love, compassion and emptiness. My mind slowly became very calm, peaceful and filled with a delightful happiness.
After a period of this, I moved on to the next stage. I briefly brought back to mind my previous few meditations where I generated equanimity and appreciation for the kindness of all mother beings. I then developed this by remembering that my wishes are the same as theirs: they wish to be free from suffering and experience only happiness, and so do I. In this way we are all the same.
I felt a great kinship with others, understanding that we are all in this together. I felt my heart going out to all other living beings and a great commonality between myself and others. I thought of how every time I think of my own wishes, this should be a trigger to remember the wishes and needs of others. They have been so kind to me in the past, and now I have many opportunities each day to repay their kindness. I must work as hard for them as I work for my own happiness and freedom from suffering. In this way I can make my own life truly meaningful. I focused on this determination for a long while…
After that, I moved on to bring in what this means in light of great compassion.
I could see straight away that equalising self and others was a more limited version of great compassion, but not that much more limited. It seemed to me that it was just the strength of the wish that differentiated the two. How beautiful is the Lamrim! How elegant and perfect, that one mind builds on the last and so on. How fortunate we are to have such a thing in the world with us now!
With this in mind, I returned to my wish to work for the happiness and freedom of others just as much as I work for the happiness and freedom of myself. I felt my heart dissolving into the hearts of others, and a strong wish to help them for the rest of my life. I focused on this for the rest of the meditation.
May all living beings see the equality of us all, and work together for the enlightenment of all living beings.
Practice in the Meditation Break
I will try to remember how 'we are all in this together' and that when I feel a wish to do something for my own happiness or freedom, I should use this as a reminder to work for the happiness and freedom of others too.

Egyptians are one of the eight tribes present in Black & White. They can only be found as a tribe on Land 3, although there are characters that use their model on Land 2.
They appear in Black & White 2 on the tutorial land (though this is arguable as, when picked up, their tribe is listed as "Indigenous"). They are quite primitive as almost all of their civilization was destroyed by the Aztec's militaristic operations.
