I had sat there at Joey's beachside bar for more than an hour, watching the young man playing in the surf. When I'd first arrived at the bar, both bored and out of sorts, I'd seen him on his surfboard, riding the waves and doing quite well at it. At length, however, I saw him tire of that and come up on the beach and bury the tip of the board into the wet sand, with a strong force that, in itself, would have arrested my attention.
He was probably not over twenty and had a natural sensuality that made me catch my breath. He was tall, but not overly so, and on the lithe side, but even there, it was not at the expense of natural body tone, hard muscle, and a perfect balance of symmetry and beauty. His hair was dark, as were his eyes when he came close enough for me to see them. The hair was long and silky, and I was to learn it came down to below his shoulders, although when I first saw him it was tied back in a ponytail. The sun had tanned him deeply - he might even have been of Hispanic ancestry. His legs were strongly muscled without being heavy, and much of his body was covered - but again not overly much - in tightly curled black hair. His chin had that five-o'clock shadowing that so many young men prefer these days, and the body hair was more prominent on his forearms and legs and undergirded his pectorals, with a line running down his sternum and pronounced six pack and into the waistband of his low-rise, almost thong, navy-blue swimsuit. His nipples were pronounced, the aureoles large, and peeked out of his curly chest hair enticingly. A silver ring in one nipple only heightened the sensuality and mystery of him.
It was easy for me to be smitten. I had sent Scott packing earlier that day. It wasn't just that he had become grasping and was taking for granted that I would give him anything he wanted just to be in my bed when I wanted him there. I had become bored with him. His only conversation was about some electronic toy or clothing item he wanted. And he'd become untrustworthy, hanging out with other men his age, whispering to them knowingly - I'm sure talking to them about me and what I did for him - what he did to me. And his eyes had been roving, like he was looking for his next sugar daddy rather than concentrating on the one he had.
He hadn't been pleased when I'd had Thomas pack his bags and put them by the front door in the foyer and laid just enough cash out on the top of a suitcase for him to fly back to New York. But I had no commitment to him. I was bored.
Unfortunately, I also was horny and I hadn't thought ahead too well. I wanted what Scott gave me. I just didn't want it to be Scott who gave it to me. Always before when I'd come down here to the beach, I'd had someone in tow. I hadn't had to go to bars alone or hadn't had to try to cruise. I was a little too old for cruising, I had to admit. And I hadn't had to do it for years. I always brought my young men down from New York - where they sought me out. Where they wanted to be close to me, to be seen with Peter Cordell, to appear perhaps in photos in the society pages, where they would be lurking behind me and whatever beautiful super model I had on my arm for public appearance sake.
When Scott was gone, I walked the streets of the resort town, thinking that I would enjoy doing so when I was free and when no young man was cajoling me to look in this shop or that and to buy him this or that. But I quickly found that I didn't want to be alone. I just didn't want to be constantly wheedled to give, give, give.
I'd found myself at the patio bar off the back of Joey's - really just a vine-covered trellis over a deck out on the sand behind a rather seedy beach bar - and watching the activity on the beach. There wasn't much of it.
But my eyes would have picked out the dark, young man even if the beach had been crowded. He moved like a dancer. Fluid motion. As he moved, I could see his burnt-gold skin stretching over hard muscle. This was accentuated when he stretched out as he drove the front edge of the surfboard into the sand. In what was almost a connected, extended motion, he'd stripped off the tight black Lycra leggings he'd been wearing to surf - and I almost became breathless at seeing him just in a skimpy swimming suit. What were surely heavy balls and a thick cock were pulling the front of the thong-type suit down to where I could see a good inch of curly black pubic hair. I found that the beer glass I was holding was trembling. I wanted to palm his belly and move my hand down under that waistband.
After he had planted the surfboard in the sand, he walked slowly up the beach toward where I sat. His eyes were cast off to the side of me, though, and his feet were carrying him on a veering path off toward my left. For the first time I looked along the beach at the verge between sand and vegetation and saw that there was a line of red- and white-striped cabanas, the door flaps of some closed and of others lifted on stakes to make a sort of entrance porch.
The young man was moving toward the first of these, his smiling eyes latched onto an older man sitting on a beach chair in the shade of the open and raised flap of the first cabana to my left. The man looked like he was in his late fifties. A banker perhaps. He too was deeply tanned. His hair was gray, including a thick patch on his chest. I wouldn't say he was heavy, but he had the look of a man who once had been well-toned but was beginning to be defeated by time. Distinguished looking, though, at least from the side angle I got. And his eyes were plastered on the movement of the young man as he approached.
And whose wouldn't be? I know mine were.
The two only had eyes for each other, though, and as the young man drew closer, I saw that he had a gorgeous, almost mischievous smile that melted hearts and launched propositions.
The young man stood there in front the older man for a brief moment, as they conversed. The older man had been reading a hardback book, which he turned over in his lap without closing it.
I watched, almost in shock, as the older man put a hand on one of the younger man's thighs and the younger man leaned forward and took the older man's lips with his, while one of his hands slipped underneath the book on the older man's lap. The older man responded, the two of them still lost in the kiss, by raising his hand from the other man's thigh and cupping his basket through the barely covering material.
They came out of the kiss and the older man rose and turned and walked into the cabana. The younger man looked around - I looked away just in time for him not to think that I had been watching - and then entered the cabana as well, pulling the flap closed.
I sat there, trembling, for several minutes, not realizing that I was holding my breath until I almost passed out from the lack of oxygen.
I couldn't help myself. I was drawn to the cabana like a moth to the light. Standing and looking around to see if anyone was watching me, I sauntered - or tried to make it appear like I was aimlessly sauntering - off the deck and onto the sand. I'd already paid for my drinks. I walked off to my left, down the beach and parallel to the water's edge until I'd passed four cabanas. When I reached the fourth one, I walked around to the rear of that cabana and started working my way back toward Joey's, all the time looking around as casually as I could muster to see if anyone was watching me. There was almost no one there. It was late in the season and a weekday. The resort coast was nearly deserted.
I had already seen that the cabanas were constructed like panel flaps, so that the material didn't bend around the corners and the panels of the tents would lay flat when the cabanas were taken down. The material was slit there and the corners were held together by a series of ties from ground to roof. Standing at one of the back corners of the cabana, I could easily part the panels between ties enough to spy what was going on inside.
I almost gasped as I saw the older man, chest down on a beach lounger, and up on his knees, his buttocks in the air, with the younger man, crouched athletically over his hips, hands clutching the older man's waist, and slow fucking the older man, using the leverage of his feet on the lounger next to the older man's thighs for control in the rhythm of the fuck. The young man's black, silky hair had been let loose and it did, indeed, cascade to below his shoulders. It shimmered in the rhythm of the fuck. The sounds and murmurings both made indicated that they were taken with each other and thoroughly comfortable in the fuck. They weren't hurrying; there was nothing furtive in their coupling. This wasn't a chance encounter, I knew.
They were displayed at an angle from me, their butts toward where I was positioned. The older man's buttocks were milky white, but there were almost indistinct tan marks on the younger man's undulating buttocks. I watched, mesmerized, at the beautiful butt cheeks of the younger man clinching and expanding as he fucked the older man. And I gasped again when I saw the younger man's cock withdraw a good half foot from the ass of the older man without losing purchase and then sliding in again. And again, and again, and again.
My hand went to my zipper. In time, the younger man moved the older one to his back and crouched between his thighs, lifting his legs up and out, and continued fucking him in long, steady strokes. The younger man lowered his face to the older one's periodically and they kissed like longtime lovers.
The older man was moaning and clearly was in seventh heaven. Who wouldn't be?
When I had come, I zipped myself back up and withdrew. I couldn't bear anymore. I wanted the young man to do me too.
I left the beach then and went cruising. I knew all of the bars to go to, but it was low season already and the pickings were slim. I regretted having thrown Scott out now rather than when we got back to New York. But that didn't matter much. I wouldn't have wanted Scott for the same reason that I didn't find anyone in the bars that night who I wanted. I wanted the young man on the beach.
I spent a restless night, dreaming of me and the young, burnt-gold man with the long, silky black hair. I got up in the morning, went to the gym, and ate a humongous breakfast at a pancake house on the main boulevard. I was fagged out when I got home and fell onto the bed and slept for two hours. At three, I got up from the bed, already knowing where I was going.
I was the only one that early in the day on the back deck at Joey's on the Beach. The beach was deserted and the flap was down on my angel's cabana. That's how I was thinking of him - my own dark angel. And mine. After one beer, which I nursed for a half an hour, I started thinking of leaving the bar. But just as I was about to rise from the bar table, the flap came up on the cabana, and the young man jogged out into the sunlight. He was wearing a black bikini swimsuit this afternoon, the sides of which were held together by large metal rings. He had a large, multicolored beach towel under his arm, which he dropped on the beach a few yards above the high-water mark, and he was holding a pair of sunglasses in one hand, which he leaned over and put down on the towel after he had spread it out.
I took my breath in and held as I watched the muscles stretch in his lithe body as he leaned over the towel. He only lingered there a minute, though, before he turned and ran into the surf. When the water was above his knees he dove into an incoming wave and I lost sight of him. I didn't let my breath out until I had.
He was out of sight now, swimming out into the water, although I fancied I could see his head and the curve of his churning arms from time to time out beyond where the surf was breaking.
I turned my attention to the cabana. The older man emerged, raised the flap on the poles and stood there, his eyes shielded by a hand, obviously searching for his lover out in the ocean.
I couldn't help myself. As he stood there, I compared him to myself. He was older than I was, and not in as good a shape - certainly heavier than I was - and, although he'd been well-muscled at some point in his life, there was a sag of skin under his upper arm as he held a hand over his eyes. There were other signs that he was losing his muscle tone, and his tanned skin looked just that way - tanned to a leathery brown. I fancied from what I could see that he wasn't as handsome as I was. I know, from my observations of the previous day, that he wasn't as well-endowed as I was. He could be richer than I was, although most certainly not as accustomed to fame - in New York and internationally, at least. I didn't recognize him as anyone of import. Of course, perhaps my dark angel wouldn't be as impressed by the nature of my fame as some others would. Still, there was the possibility that my dark angel was a dancer; he certainly moved like one.
What did this old man have that would make the dark angel choose him over me? Nothing, I optimistically told myself. So, it was mostly a matter of getting the young man's attention.
While I had been assessing the older man who now was sitting in the beach chair under the cabana flap and had opened his book, the younger man had returned from the ocean and now was lying on his belly on the towel.
I gasped and my hand involuntarily went to my crotch when I saw it - it was lying there beside him on the sand, next to the towel. The black bikini. He must be naked, taking the sun in totally, I now realized. I ached to go out onto the sand and see him this way. It didn't matter that I'd seen him naked and fucking the older man the previous day. There was something so much more sensual about seeing him naked on a towel on the beach - where anyone else passing by could see him too.
I kept my eyes riveted to him, fantasizing going out there and straddling his hips, holding his cock erect as I descended on it, and leaning over and taking that nipple with the ring in my mouth and teething him until he groaned and lifted my face to his in a long, lingering kiss. When he turned over, I had looked away momentarily, and I castigated myself for not remaining alert and on watch, as if just a brief glance of him would make my day.
And it obviously would, because there, while I was watching him, he stood in all of his glory, facing my direction, his glorious cock and balls hanging free in a patch of black, curly hair between his thighs, as he reached down and picked up the bikini and put it back on, reattaching the rings somehow at his hips. That's when I saw that he had a ring in his cock head too, and I felt my sphincter muscle clutch, already feeling it rub against my inner channel.
And then he was walking. Not toward the cabana, but toward Joey's. I tore my eyes away from him, looking down into my almost-empty beer glass, as he climbed the three wooden steps to the deck. As I was looking down, I could see his feet and I wanted to groan. The feet were slim, but long, the toes also slender and long. And there was a patch of black hair on the top of each one. I was feeling very hot.
I heard him ask for a drink and then say, sorry, that he didn't have money with him and that he'd have go to his nearby cabana and . . .
I built up the courage to intervene at that point. I think my voice sounded strained and squeaky. Nonetheless I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by so I stood and offered to buy his drink for him - "and I need another beer too, bartender" - so that he could quench his thirst before having to traipse over to the cabana and back.
"Yes, thank you . . . if I can join you for the drink."
Could he join me? I was doing all I could do not to hyperventilate.
"Have you been swimming in the ocean yet?" I asked. "Is it too late in the season to do that? The temperature too cold?" I felt like an idiot for not coming up with anything better to say than this. And then he proceeded to confirm my idiocy.
"Surely you know I've been swimming in the ocean, Mr. Cordell. You've watched me do it, haven't you? Yesterday as well as today."
I was shocked, but then I felt all sorts of posturing and foreplay was being brushed aside. He obviously was in the game. And I knew this game so well. He was approachable.
"You know who I am, do you?" I didn't have to sound surprised. I was. Not necessarily that he'd know who I was, given what he obviously was. But that he would be so straightforward in getting to the bottom line. It was almost refreshing.
"Yes, of course. You're the Peter Cordell who produces for the Metropolitan Opera, aren't you? I read the New York papers."
"Yes, you have me there. And you are?"
"Raul. You can just call me Raul."
Ah, yes, Hispanic. I very much liked the passion of a Latin lover. Scott was West coast, sun, beaches, muscle shirts, and all about himself.
"Ah, the newspapers."
"And we have a few mutual friends too."
"Yes. For instance, I know one of the members of the Met's permanent dance troupe. Jason Deavers. You might remember him."
"Yes, of course." Certainly I remembered Jason. I opened my legs for him nightly for a month two years ago. Raul most certainly was direct. Well, I could be direct too.
"I would like to see you. Away from the beach," I said. I turned my face to him and looked directly in his eyes.
"I'm rather attached," he responded.
"Yes, I have seen that. But you may be interested in reassessing your situation."
"I rather doubt that," he answered. I looked away then. This obviously was going to be expensive. He wanted to haggle. But then he surprised me.
"Did you know that they give performances in the old opera house in Charleston?" He asked. "The local troupe is quite good, I think. I have an extra ticket for a performance of Mozart's "Idomeneo" for tonight. It's a powerful work - Greeks and fated lovers and tragic promises and all. Very melodramatic, but not much performed anymore. If you wouldn't be too averse to a busman's holiday . . ."
"He certainly is resourceful," was my thought as I clothed myself in a tuxedo that evening, after having already been to the barbers and then having a long shower and primping and making myself the best I could be. He was going to great lengths with me. This then, I knew, was going to be very, very expensive. But I had seen him fucking the older man, and I was assured that he would be very, very worth it.
The ticket he left for me was for one of the private boxes high up above and at the corner of the stage. It was angled, so that no one from the audience could look into the box, and only singers positioned well up into the height of the set could see much of anything in the shadows.
I was the only one in the box until shortly after the first interval. In the interval, I had craned my head out around the edge of the box and scanned the audience and seen that, yes, both Raul and the older man were seated in the orchestra section. Raul looked magnificent in his tuxedo. That must have cost the older man a fortune. And the older man was probably paying for all of these empty seats in this box as well - and perhaps didn't even like opera. Raul had his hooks into that man really good. He should be grateful that I intended to take Raul away from him.
After the lights went down following the interval, I felt more than heard that someone had entered the box. I turned my face and saw that it, indeed, was Raul.
There were practically no preliminaries. I heard the zipper of his tux trousers being lowered after he'd sat in the chair beside me and felt the hand on the back of my neck, coaxing my face down into his lap. And to the glorious live, opera music of Mozart, sung rather well for the provinces, I gave Raul the best blow job performance I could muster up - luxuriating in my tongue's play with his cock ring.
He stopped me short of making him come, though, and I watched in fascination as he took a condom packet and a tube of lubricant out of his jacket pocket. He leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Strip off your trousers and briefs, please, and sit on my cock. Oh, and you look quite handsome tonight."
I sat, skewered by his cock, holding myself slightly off his lap at his request, bearing my weight on the balls of my feet, while I watched and listened to a Mozart opera on stage and he rhythmically fucked up into my channel. I made a little yipping noise each time that cock ring dragged across my prostate. He had his hands snaked up under my shirt and worried my nipples while I stroked my cock to completion. At his suggestion I had my linen handkerchief draped over my lap to catch as much of the cum I spouted as possible - to keep both of our tuxes clean. At the point of my ejaculation, his mouth went to the hollow of my neck and he lightly teethed my throbbing artery as I sighed my release. Timing was everything, and I knew I would remember that moment forever - the ejaculation came at the height of a love duet on stage.
He left me just before the second interval, after standing close beside me in the shadows and holding my face to his crotch as I cleaned his cock with my mouth and then helped to readjust his tux. As he was leaving, I gave him my card and hissed that I had to see him again - that he could come to my beach home any time he could get away. The sooner the better.
It had been the best of all setups for Raul to be moving to a new sugar daddy. Not only was he a hunk to view and a stud in cock play, but he was brilliant in his choice of claiming me. I - a veteran of the New York Metropolitan Opera - had never had such an uplifting sexual experience as being fucked to a live staging of a Mozart opera. I was bowled over. I was dangerously close to being in love. I certainly was in deep want and lustful need.
It was three maddening days before he appeared at my door. He was driving a BMW sports car that, I thought, must have set his older daddy back nearly a hundred-thousand. I had gone to the beach every day, spending the entire morning and afternoon at Joey's. But neither Raul nor his sugar daddy appeared the first day, and a family took up residence in the cabana the following two days.
He was all smiles and not the least bit apologetic for leaving me hanging. "I had business meetings," was all he said.
Yeah, right. He had business meetings. He was out spending daddy's money. That's what he was doing.
"It doesn't matter," I said. "I want you again." I took him by the hand. I planned to lead him right back to my bedroom, but Raul's Latin temperament was clicking in. We stopped in the middle of the living room and rocked back and forth against each other's bodies, kissing and feeling and unbuttoning and unsnapping and stepping out of clothes. And then, naked, we were kissing and feeling again.
He had extracted a condom and lubricant before his trousers hit the floor, and he simply pushed me back into the center of one of my deep couches and knelt between my legs. He worked my cock briefly with his mouth and then rolled my hips up and was going after my entrance with his lips and then lubricated fingers, as I groaned and stroked my cock and floated on the clouds of heaven.
He fucked me there, crouched between my thighs, my ankles resting on his shoulders, and his hands working my cock and nipples. Bringing me to the brink again and again and then holding and then renewing the plowing until I couldn't take it anymore and ejaculated in a cry of ecstasy. Virile young man that he was, though, he continued stroking and I was ready to come again before he did.
We held there for several minutes, as I felt him ebbing away from inside me.
"That was nice," he said. "I do like a bit of variety now and then. If you are coming down next year, we should arrange to do this again."
"Next year?" I exploded in surprise. "I want you in the next ten minutes again. I want you every night. I want you in my bed."
"Sorry, old chap. I have a live in." Raul was almost jovial, as if he wasn't angling for anything at all here.
"A live in? That old man I saw you with at the beach?"
"Well, yes, actually. Teddy's my permanent. He indulges me with a side blow from time to time. I have rather a fetish for interesting older men. But we've been together for three years now - and I plan for that to last forever."
"Who is he? A Rockefeller?" I asked, becoming frustrated and a bit angry now. Raul hadn't even pulled his dick out of me yet. But he'd gone flaccid, and although I was trying to arouse him again, it didn't look like we were going to manage that. "God, I want you again now," I growled, giving up all of my pride.
"Sorry, Teddy and I fucked before I came over here and he'll want it again when I return. He's insatiable."
"Again who is he? Think of him and think of me. What does he have that I don't."
"My love, actually. I'm sorry. But it's a permanent thing with us I'm afraid."
"What is he paying you? I'll double it. Whatever it is."
He gave me a funny look then and pulled out of me and walked over to the center of the room and started separating his clothes from mine.
"You don't know who I am, do you?" he suddenly asked, turning and looking at me hard.
"You're Raul. That's all you told me."
"Ah, well. We'd mentioned New York papers. I rather thought you had seen my photo in the society pages at least as often as I've seen yours. I didn't think I'd need to give you my last name. I'm Raul Delaplane. Of the Argentine Delaplanes."
Delaplane. The Argentine Delaplanes. Richer than anyone not from the Persian Gulf. Oh, shit.
Then he gave me the funniest look. "Oh, you thought I was some sort of gigolo and Teddy was my sugar daddy, didn't you?" As he was pulling his briefs on, still looking like a luscious dark angel, he reared his head back and laughed. "It's rather the opposite, I'm afraid," he said through attempts to cease chortling. "Teddy's penniless other than what I give him. He was my tutor, and my first love. And, I hope, my last love."
After Raul had gone, I lay there, my legs still open, mourning the loss of his cock, and contemplating how unfathomable this scenario of Raul and his old lover was. What was this fickle thing called love? I wondered. And would I ever find it for myself?

Skip to comments.Ascribe Greatness to Our God...song of Moses pt 2
Posted on 05/23/2014 9:06:19 PM PDT by pastorbillrandles
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.(Deuteronomy 32:1-4)
Moses prays that his doctrine would fall as the rain, and distill as the morning dew upon the herbs and the grass (All men are as grass) . His prayer has been answered for all over the earth, the revelation given to Moses is prevalent, either to be accepted or rejected by man.
All of the tribes and tongues of men have been exposed to the teachings of Moses;the account of Creation, the fall, the flood, the story of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the exodus and the ten commandments, the law of God, sacrifice, and these all as a preparation for the reception of the Seed of the Woman, the promised Messiah of Israel.
The faith revealed by the teaching of Moses is not merely a Hebrew faith, it is universal.
Moses has published the name of the only true God. In another of Moses songs,he taught the people to ask,
Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?(Exodus 15:11)
Everything good comes out of the knowledge of of the only true God. All true love, morality, virtue, truth satisfaction and joy comes from knowing God. The determining factor of every mans life is what he knows or thinks of God. All of his problems are at root theological problems for a mans life is controlled by his view of God whether accurate or inaccurate.
To publish the name of God is to bring forth the revelation of Gods perfections and attributes.There is no higher use of the faculties than the contemplation and worshipful beholding of God. Man has been endowed with intelligence, will, emotion and moral responsibility that he might know and enjoy God.
In his mercy and goodness, God is self revealing. The pinnacle of Moses career came upon the mountain after Moses had prayed to see Gods glory. The Lords answer was that He would proclaim His own name to Him
And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee...And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the childrens children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.(Exodus 33:19)
Truth, beauty , Infinite mercy,absolute Justice, righteousness,everlasting faithfulness, generosity,forgiveness,compassion, kindness and holiness are all summed up in the name God revealed to Moses, JAHWEH. These attributes were only revealed in a more complete form in the person of the Messiah Jesus.
The fourth verse of the song could literally be rendered,
It is the name JAHWEH that I Proclaim,
ascribe greatness to our God .
The Rock!- perfect is his work;
For all of his ways are justice:
A God of Faithfulness and without iniquity;
The LORD is called The Rock 5 times in this song, underscoring his unchanging, immovable, firm and reliable character.The Psalmist echoes this theme in many places, such as when he proclaims, The Lord lives, blessed be my Rock, exalted is the God of my salvation!.(Psalm 18:46)
The prophet also exhorts us to
Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.(Isaiah 26:4 NASV)
Through the wilderness wanderings of Israel, a Rock followed the children, out of which when stricken with a Rod, water flowed in the desert! Paul tells us in I Corinthians 10, that The Rock that followed them was Christ.
Psalm 92 , the Psalm for the temple Sabbath service, ends with the line-
To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in HimThe Psalms are full of supplications for refuge in The Rock-
Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; You have given commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.Psalms 71:3
The LORD is not a rock, He is the only Rock of salvation, steadfast, reliable, unchangeable, a refuge for all who seek Him!
His Work is perfect- Everything He has done has the stamp of absolute perfection upon it. Creation, even in its fallen state, under the temporary curse of vanity, is perfect in all of its aspects. As we look over the course of the History of Salvation, the dealings of God with the nations, the miracle of the creation of Israel, and the way God has worked in Israels history to bring forth the Word and the Messiah, we must marvel at the perfection of Gods work.
The ultimate work of God is how he made a way for sinful men to be reconciled unto Him, redeemed, reborn, set free from sin and brought into fellowship with Him who made them, and then purchased them with His own blood! No man could ever have concocted the plan of redemption. How could the demands of God and the desperate needs of men be satisfied in one and the same work, the work of the cross?
In that one act of obedience, the Holiness of God and the mercy of God were satisfied, once and for all. The Righteous God found a righteous way to save sinners! The work of God is complete also, in all of its parts. Every attribute of God was expressed on the cross, His wrath, His mercy, His Holy Justice, is tender compassion, all were expressed without contradicting each other.
All of His ways are Judgment- He is the perfect Moral governor of the universe. Every one of his decisions and decrees will be revealed to be in accordance with what is righteous and true, everything he has done in all of his dealings with man will be seen and acknowledged by all, as having been in the right.
A God of faithfulness and without iniquity- The LORD is absolutely reliable, and trustworthy. He has kept his Word and promises, both of blessing and of judgment, and it would be impossible to have trusted in Him and to be disappointed. He is the God of Truth, and in Him is no darkness at all. There is no iniquity, or evil in Him, He cannot be charged with evil, He doesnt lie or deceive, and everything he does, speaks, intends and purposes is Just and true.
Good and upright is He- God is good, he is generous, Kind, merciful and slow to anger, He is apt to forgive, to forbear, his patience is our very salvation.
This is our God, this is the revelation of His name, He is good, true, upright, merciful, a ROCK for all of those who come unto Him.
Are you familiar with the song "How Great Is Our God" by Chris Tomlin? It's been running through my head all morning.
I love that one-
So do I. I heard it in the car the other day and I got the shivers....my eyes filled up just listening to it.

"Ongoing" Cyber Attack On Holyrood
It's thought the attack could last several days.
The SNP will set out the timescale for a possible second referendum on independence in its manifesto for next year's Holyrood election, Nicola Sturgeon has said.
Scotland's First Minister confirmed the party's manifesto will include more details on the circumstances under which another vote might be "appropriate''.
The revelation comes almost a year after Scots voted by a margin of 55% to 45% to reject independence.
Since then the SNP has gone from strength to strength, notching up thousands of new members and winning a landslide 56 of Scotland's 59 seats in May's general election.
Ms Sturgeon has come under increased pressure to clarify her position on a second vote ahead of the party's conference in Aberdeen next month.
She told the Press Association: "Our manifesto will set out what we consider are the circumstances and the timescale on which a second referendum might be appropriate, but we can only propose.
"It's then for people in Scotland, whether it is in this election or in future elections, to decide whether they want to vote for our manifesto and then if there is in the future another independence referendum, whether that's in five years or 10 years or whenever, it will be down to the people of Scotland to decide whether they want to vote for independence or not.
"So at every single stage this is something that is driven by and decided by the people of Scotland, not by politicians.''
A recent Ipsos Mori survey for STV suggested 53% of voters in Scotland would back independence if there was another referendum.
The same poll put support for the SNP in the constituency vote at next year's Scottish Parliament election at 55%, compared to Labour's 21%.
Ms Sturgeon said: "It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that support for independence has risen in the past year.
"We've seen a Conservative Government renege on its promises on more powers, we've seen them continue to impose austerity on the most vulnerable, George Osborne arrogantly pressing ahead with investment to support the renewal of Trident even though the House of Commons hasn't decided to renew Trident, our membership of the European Union being jeopardised.''
The First Minister has previously said a material change in circumstances, such as Scotland being taken out of the EU against its will in the forthcoming in-out referendum on UK membership, could act as a trigger for a second referendum on independence.
She said: "`Ironically, given the scaremongering about our European Union membership during the independence referendum, if we find ourselves being taken out of Europe against our will I think it is beyond any doubt that people will at least want to consider again the question of independence.''
Ms Sturgeon added: "I've always believed that Scotland will become an independent country so there's no change in position there. I think that's the direction of travel we're on. But that's my opinion, I'm one person, one politician.
"Whether I end up being proved right or wrong will be down to what the majority of people in Scotland decide.''
It's thought the attack could last several days.
Sturgeon says Trump is on the "wrong side" of the debate.
The boys were found inside the Sainsbury's store at 2am on Tuesday.
The incident, which happened at Ibrox station, was reported to British Transport Police before 8pm on Saturday.

Style: 32146698 Color Code:
Boho printed gauzy cotton wideband with gathered stretch back for easy, effortless wear.
Free People
I have a pixie cut and very dark hair and this head band is just the right size and color. It doesn't slip off my head... which is a first for a head band. I get compliments every time I wear this head band. Just ordered another one in a different color. Plan to purchase quite a few more.
I love this headband! I was growing my bangs out and this really eliminates that embarrassing stage between bangs and non-bangs. It's comfortable, made of super soft gauze with an elastic back. Beautiful tones. Very bohemian. Favorite headband with no icky fake fabric feels!
great look
Great look, comfortable gauzy fabric, I bought the pearl design which I love. Cinched at the back to keep the headband secure, I'd say a have an average sized head and it says put with absolutely no discomfort. Can't wait for the sage one to arrive. Because of the loose weave of the fabric I'm definitely not going to wash other than very gently, by hand and air dry.
I LOVE this headband. I got it in the mango color, and brightens up almost every dark outfit i have. It's an accessory that I definitely wear a lot. It is just slightly snug on my head, but its not an unbearable snug. I recommend!
Love this!
I love this headband. In addition to looking great, it's also very versatile-I can twist it, scrunch it up, wear it wide(it is quite large at full expanded size). It is snug, but that's what I like about it. For some reason elastic headbands NEVER stay put on my head, they always slip off and end up on the ground. This stays put. I plan to order more!
really too tight
I ordered different colors. 1. All headbands are too tight for me, uncomfortable. By the way i do not have a big head. 2. Purple motive is not as pictured at all, looks more like grey. I am going to return all of them though i like the colors. May be it is better to find this headband in a FP store and try it before buying.

Technology Industry Analyst Jeff Kagan is available to speak with reporters, or may be quoted through this release.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 06, 2013
Tech analyst Jeff Kagan offers congratulations to LG becoming the number-3 smartphone maker by sales. Kagan offers comment.
"Any way you slice it, this is a big deal for LG. Now the question is if they can hang on to this number three position. Apple and Google Android hold the number one and two positions in operating systems. Apple and Samsung hold number one and two in the smartphone handset side. LG is number three behind Apple and Samsung on the handset side," says Principal analyst Jeff Kagan.
Six years ago, the smartphone sector changed. Before then Blackberry and Nokia led. Then Apple, Google and Samsung quickly changed the smartphone industry. They seem to have a lock on number one and two.
"However as we all know, there is no such thing as a lock. Anything can happen. Remember, Blackberry was number one in smartphones for more than a decade, then quickly dropped when Apple and Google entered the market," says analyst Jeff Kagan.
"However Apple, Google and Samsung have a seemingly firm lock on number one and two for now. So, the big batter we are all watching is for Number 3. Who will capture and win number three? The battle is between HTC, Blackberry, Nokia with Microsoft Windows Phone, Huawei, Lenovo, Sony, Motorola and ZTE along with LG," says Kagan.
"I don't see LG or any single handset maker keeping the number three position on an ongoing basis. So many fierce competitors have their mouths watering trying to sink their teeth into this space. I get the sense that we will see several handset makers battling for this position over the next couple years. Expect the leadership position to change time and time again for a while at least," says Kagan.
"So, congratulations to LG on winning the number three position. LG seems to have painted a target on the back of Samsung Galaxy S4. The battle for number three is just beginning. This should be an exciting time in the competitive marketplace. The race is on," says Kagan.

S Narayan's Shyloo is a remake of Tamil superhit film Mynaa. The romantic drama has a strong subject backed with some excellent performances by Ganesh, Bhama and Rangarayana Raghu. Thought the slow narration might bore at times, the beautiful locations and a few songs give you the pleasure ride.
Having lost his mother at his very young age, Manja (Ganesh) finds his love in Shyloo (Bhama) - who was being thrown out of her house along with her mother Muniyamma - when he sees her for the first time. The young and illiterate lad gives his helping hand for the poor family and strives hard to make his sweetheart happy. He takes responsibility of her schooling and bares all the expenses of them. As the times passes by their love grows and her mother remains unaware of their love.
However, the fate has something unexpected for the young couple when they reach adolescence, as Muniyamma turns wicked minded and arranges her daughter's marriage with another boy. From here, the story takes deviation after he attacks Muniyamma and finds himself in a jail. During this period, she arranges her daughter's marriage. On the other end, Manja, who was serving 30-day sentence, escapes from the jail. What happens next should be seen on-screen.

The present invention relates to improvements in a scaling circuit for use in the production of an output signal characteristic of an input signal, there being a scaling factor between the input and output signals. In particular, the present invention relates to cellular radio telephone communications systems wherein the output signal is a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) indicative of a signal received in an intermediate frequency (IF) circuit.
In conventional scaling circuits the output signal, which is normally in current mode, is scaled via a resistor such that, as the magnitude of the resistor used increases, the magnitude of the scaling factor produced increases. However, with such a system the output signal generally includes an offset portion, which is present as a function of the circuit and is independent of the magnitude of the signal. Therefore, if the magnitude of the resistor is large the offset signal will be large and if the magnitude of the resistor is small the offset signal will be small, but the scaling factor will also be small. Therefore due to the offset signal it is not possible with conventional scaling circuits to utilize the full scaling dynamic of the circuit.
One external resistance has so far been generally employed in the output of RSSI signal circuits, and the range of the output voltage provided by the circuit for and IF circuit has been narrow.
In radio telephones the RSSI output voltage is converted by an A/D converter for further processing by the processor. If the range of the RSSI output voltage is narrow and the A/D converter comprises a small number of bits, the resolution of the level indication remains poor after the A/D convertion.
The A/D converters generally use 8 bits and the reading range of the converter is 0 to 5 volts. In radio telephones the output current of the RSSI signals of IF circuits typically range between offset currents of about 5 to 15 microamps and the maximum output current is about 50 to 80 microamps. The maximum voltage level of the output can be about 2 to 4 volts depending on the internal adjustment.
According to the present invention there is provided a scaling circuit including means for receiving a signal, and means for providing an output signal indicative of the input signal, wherein the output signal may include an offset component characterized by adjustment means coupled to the signal output means for providing a substantially constant signal level independent of the output signal whereby the offset component is substantially eliminated.
In one embodiment the output signal is in voltage mode and the adjustment means provides a substantially constant voltage drop predetermined to substantially eliminate the offset component.
In another embodiment the output is in current mode and the adjustment means are coupled to the signal output means for maintaining a substantially constant predetermined current flow to substantially eliminate the offset component.
An advantage of the present invention is that by eliminating the offset portion of the RSSI output signal regardless of the magnitude of the scaling resistor used it enables a large scaling resistor to be used, thus utilizing the entire scaling dynamic of the RSSI circuit.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a conventional scaling circuit;
FIG. 2 is a graphical illustration of the scaling factor of the circuit of FIG. 1, for a range of input values, when a large magnitude scaling resistor is used;
FIG. 3 is a graphical illustration of the scaling factor of the circuit of FIG. 1, for a range of input values when a small magnitude scaling resistor is used;
FIG. 4 is a scaling circuit in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a graphical circuit of the scaling factor of the circuit of FIG. 4 for a range of input values;
FIG. 6 is a modified scaling circuit in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 7 is a graphical illustration of the scaling factor of the circuit of FIG. 6 for a range of input values.
FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate how an RSSI output signal can be scaled by a conventional scaling circuit into a desired signal (current/voltage transformer; V=R*I) by resistance means 2. The output voltage thus obtained is a linear function of the logarithmic level variation of the IF input signal.
Generally the current output always includes a small offset current causing an offset portion in the output voltage. If external resistance 2 is high, the offset voltage thus formed is also high. Thus a high input level of an IF-input signal respectively gives a high RSSI output voltage. This is generally limited in its maximum to the internal supply voltage of the circuit. FIG. 2 represents the RSSI output voltage 3 as a function of the IF-signal when the external resistance 2 is high.
If the external scaling resistance 2 is low, the offset voltage thus formed is also very low and the available maximum RSSI output voltage remains lower than that when a high resistance is used. FIG. 3 represents RSSI output voltage 4 as a function of the IF-signal when the external resistance is low. The dashed line 3 represents the RSSI output voltage when the external resistance is high.
FIG. 4 illustrates a scaling circuit wherein the offset portion of the RSSI signal is substantially eliminated and a sufficiently large scaling resistor 2 can be utilized to facilitate use of the full scaling dynamic of the circuit. The circuit includes a means of draining the current corresponding to the offset portion of the signal. Said means is in the form of a current mirror 5.
The current mirror 5 is a circuit construction wherein a current generator can be guided by a reference current. The ratios of the reference current and the output current can be modified. The most simple construction of the current mirror consists of a diode 6 and a transistor 7.
Current mirror 5 serves as a constant flow rate generator.
The current mirror 5 is available integrated in the same casing (for example Philips BCV-61, casing SOT-142). Because the diode 6 and the transistor 7 are both integrated in the same microcircuit, they provide good thermal connection and thus fluctuations in temperature do not change the current ratios of the current mirror 5. The open end of the current mirror 5 is coupled to the RSSI output and the reference current side of the current mirror 5 is connected to the supply voltage +Vcc via resistance 8. The value of resistance 8 is so chosen that the current mirror 5 eliminates the offset current of the RSSI output. The value of resistance 2 is so chosen that the maximum current of the RSSI level indicator provides the highest available output voltage which, according to the above description, is determined in accordance with internal voltage +Vreg of the circuit.
FIG. 5 represents the RSSI output voltage 9 produced by the circuit in FIG. 4 as a function of the IF signal input. The output voltage 9 has been optimised by the elimination of the offset portion of the RSSI signal and the choice of an optimum magnitude resistor 2 so as to utilize the whole of the scaling dynamic of the circuit, from a voltage of substantially zero to Vreg.
FIG. 6 represents an embodiment of the present invention suitable for use with IF circuits with a low supply voltage. Output A of the RSSI level indication of IF circuit 1 is coupled to the reference current side of current mirror 10 and its open side is coupled to the supply voltage +Vcc by resistance 11. Current mirror 10 consists of diode 12 and transistor 13.
In addition, current mirror 10 is coupled to the ground potential by two compensating resistances 14 an 15, which can be used to change the ratios of the output current and the reference current. When current scaling is not needed and the matching of current mirror 10 to the circuit is in order, the matching resistances 14 an 15 can be omitted.
Open output B of current mirror 10 provides the RSSI output voltage. The effect of the offset current of the output can be attenuated by second current mirror 16 by coupling its open end to output A and the reference current side to supply voltage +Vcc via resistance 17. Current mirror 16 consists of diode 18 and transistor 19. The value of resistance 17 is so chosen that current mirror 16 eliminates the offset current of the RSSI output. Thus the maximum output signal strength is Vcc instead of Vreg.
FIG. 7 represents RSSI output voltage 20 as a function of the IF signal on the IF circuits for the circuit of FIG. 6 in which the level indication function is reversed, i.e., low input levels of the IF signal provide a high output voltage and high levels provide a low output voltage. With the aid of the circuit, the whole usable dynamics of the RSSI level indicator and the desired voltage range of the output can be utilized in this IF circuit, despite the low internal voltage Vreg.
This application is very useful in IF circuits with a low supply voltage, such as +3V or under.
In addition, the resolution after the A/D convertion used in radio telephones is also essentially better with the aid of the invention.
In view of the foregoing description it will be evident to a person skilled in the art that modifications may be incorporated without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Coating Additives Market : Size, Share, Development, Growth and Demand Forecast to 2015 - 2021
Coating additives are added to paints and coatings in order to augment theirquality and performance.Additives improvethe dispersion of solids, wetting, foam-reduction, anti-catering,gloss control, anti-chippingand UV protection, etc. of the coatings. Coating additives can be of various types such as acrylics, urethanes, fluoropolymers and metallics, among others. Acrylic additives are the leading product type, followed by urethanes and metallic additives. Coating additives help the surfaces to deal with higher temperature, abrasion, moisture, biocides and chemical resistance. Based on formulations, the market for coating additives is divided as water-borne, solvent-borne and powder-based coatings. Solvent-borne coatings were the leading coating additives formulations in the past few years.However, due to high VOC content and environmental concerns, the popularity of water-borne coating additives formulations has increased tremendously in the recent past and they are anticipated to grow substantially in the near future owing to their lower VOC content.
Browse Full Report:http://www.persistencemarketresearch.com/market-research/coating-additives-market.asp
The main driver for coating additiveshas been the huge infrastructure boom in the past decade in thebuilding & construction industry and this demand stems from the ever-increasing need for better quality surfaces.Residential and commercial buildings are the leading end-users for coatings additives and are likely to gain further market share in near future owing to increased construction activities in Asia Pacific and RoW.Another major driver for coating additives market is the automotive industry. Coating additives are used in the automotive industry to enhance the surface quality and protect them from abrasion, UV rays, other weathering effects and chemicals. Other end-users for coatings additives include wood & furniture, industrial engineering and aviation, among others. In the wood and furniture industry, coating additives are used to preserve the wood surfaces from microbial growth and moisture content. Increasing demand for multifunctional coating additives is anticipated to be the major opportunity for the coatings additives market. However, various environmental regulations associated with VOC content in formulation technologies can act as a major restraint for the market.
In terms of formulation used, water-borneadditives exhibited the highest consumption in past few years and are likely to grow more in the coming years.Water-borne formulations have lower VOC content than other coatings additivesformulationsand are preferred in developed countries where there are stringent environmentalregulations regarding paints and coatings industry.Larger quantities of coatings additives are required in case of water-borne formulations, over other types,in order to achieve higher performance.Powder-based formulations are also likely to gain more market share in the near future owing to their better performance than solvent-borne formulations.
Asia Pacific was the leading region for the demand of coating additivesand accounted for majority of the market.India and China are the major consumers of coating additives in Asia Pacific region. The demand is huge in these countries due to huge construction and automotive industry. The scenario for formulations is bit different where coating additives for solvent borne systems had the largest sharein Asia Pacific region.Asia Pacific is forecasted to be the fastest growing market for coating additives in upcoming years. North America had the second-largest market share in global coating additives market. Water borne formulations were the largest used in North America region. Increasing demand from aviation and marine sector was the major driver for the coatings additives market in this region. Europe had lower market share for coatings additives due to stringent environmental regulations associated with paints and coatings industry resulting in declining performance in the market. However, there is huge opportunity for the manufacturers to develop multifunctional and bio-based coatings additives in order to meet the demand of the customers. The Rest of the World is likely to show potential growth for the coatings additives market in upcoming years. Growing construction and manufacturing activities in the Middle East and North Africa region is likely to drive the coating additives market in next few years.

The tile guy had done the black tiles twice and couldn't get them right (the GC had made him rip them out), and then we couldn't find any more tiles in the Washington area. So we went with these instead, which I actually like better.

There are many races in the Galaxy at War, and not all of them have been encountered. The races featured are just the races of this generation, and chances are, will not endure the passage of time.
The Humans
Seperated into 2 main groups, the Humans are a diverse and complicated race. Their main strength is that they form communities, and through those communities survive the storms of history. Their technology is mainly second rate, but recently, the United Federation of Planets has been improving its technology and is now part of the upper echalons of technological advances, particularly in wafare.
Eventually, humans, originally consisting of groups of hunter-gatherers, began to develop civilizations. These civilizations gradually became more and more complex, with some becoming nation-states and empires. After thousands of years of wars against one another a governing body of sorts was formed with the UN in 1945. By 1961 man had reached space and in 1969 had finally stepped on an extraterrestrial surface. After World War II, Humanity would not have a war that scale for a while, although smaller wars and conflicts erupted, including the Korean War, Vietnam War, and the Cold War. In the Late 20st century terrorism became a potential thorn in the side for the nations on Earth. However war as big as WWII did not happen until 2008.
After years of overcrowding on Earth and the other planets in the Sol System, dissident factions emerged. The Neo-Communist Koslovics and Fascistic Frieden, the two major movements, began to battle one another and the United Nations. In March-June 2013, Jovian secessionists attacked United Nations Colonial Advisors on the moon Io, which led to three months of fighting between the Earth military and Jovian "Frieden" forces. National governments began to support their own colonies which began in a proxy wars off planet, leading to tension and militarization on Earth. In 2014 armed conflict ripped through South America, starting the Rain Forest Wars, as Koslovic, Frieden, and UN forces all clashed over ideological differences, sparking additional conflicts off-planet. In December of 2015, the three factions clashed, this time on Mars. This was the first extraterrestrial use of Marines, who launched lightning raids on Koslovics positions, permentally affecting military doctrine for centuries. In 2017 UN forces began a massive military build-up and began the first true interplanetary war. The UNSC was bolstered by a massive propaganda campaign running on the victories on Mars and over the next six years took back the Sol System and drove the dissident factions to destruction. Now with a massive military with no enemy to fight, overpopulation, famine, and a collapsing population, the unified Earth faced trouble.
It wasn't until 2024 that this problem was solved when researchers created the Warp Drive and gained access to Warp. In 2025 the UNSC unveiled their first line of colony ships and the best and brightest from both civilian walks of life and the military go out to form the Inner Colonies. This eased the overpopulation problem upon Earth, which became the capital of the Colonial Administration Authority, while the inner colony of Orion became the headquarters of the UNSC.
In Early 2039, a Unknown "Alien" Race known as the "Necrons(Human for Yor)" began to appear on many worlds that were being Colonized, and some that had already become Major Colonies. In March, of 2039, another Race known as the "Eldar"(Human for Al'Terran) appeared in Orbit of the UNSC Military Command World of Orion. This Lead to nearly 3 Months of Fighting on the Planet between Eldar, Necron, and Human forces.
- Earth - With a Population of nearly 7 billion Earth is the home to all of Humanity. In its past, it was seen as a dump compared to the new "Colonies" of the UNSC. However, starting in 2020 a restoration project for much of the planet was started, turning much of it back into a primeval world, while the Northern Continents of America(North America), Europe(Europe) and Asia(Asia) house almost all of the Population, several Continents such as Primeval(South America) and Cradle(Africa) have become massive Nature preserves with only those Humans who wish to cling to their tribal roots remaining there.
- Mars - The Red Planet, once thought to have held life in the past, it was only to be found to have a Necron Tomb deep below its surface. The Planet was home to one of the Bloodiest conflicts in Human History, witch started with the Rain Forest Wars, and then later turned into the Necron War. It now houses over 2 Billion Humans, and several other Alien races that have joined the Federation. It is seen as the Industrial Heart of the Solar System.
- Luna - The Moon, the largest Military Base known to any race is controlled by Starfleet, the fleet of the UFP. It houses almost 2 Billion Military Personnel, and their Families along with random assortment of Aliens and Human Civilians.
- Elipson Erandi - The Second Colony after the Rain forest wars, and now the Largest Non Solar System planet that is under UFP Control. It has a population of 19,000,000 People.
- Paris V - 10,000 People
- Jericho VII - 5,000 People

Their government is a republic led by a Council of Five, which preside over the United Federation of Planets (as the Earthers are called).
Harvest was an early renegade colony of Earth, formed by a group of civilians travelling in massive, 9 kilometer sleeper ships. They colonized the planet originally known as Gliese 581C, and now have a population of 500,000,000 and a small fleet of light ships, as well as several colonies:
- Harvest (formerly known as Gliese 581 c ) - Most populated Harvest planet, home to 490,000,000 human people; the Tau have also begun to settle this world. Rocky planet, but has basically been terraformed by extensive plant injection. Capital world of the republic, Government seat in New New York.
- New Constantinople (formerly known as Gliese 581 d ) - A large terrestrial planet with a population of 10,000,000. On it, besides the population, is a large military base (10,000 troops) and a scientific post (inside the base, basically for doing the exploring and checking out the life on the planet). A small starbase is in orbit (3 ships).
- New Marseilles (formerly known as Gliese 581 B ) - Pretty useless gas planet, about the size of Neptune. Basically, this is only used for military training exercises. The government has toyed with the idea of probing the planet for strategic resources but has always been shot down because that the probe was way too expensive for the extremely low chance of finding resources.
- Freedom Point - Large space station in the Beta Librae system, home to 15,000 people. It has its own economy (but is a part of Harvest's grand economy) and has the capability to defend itself.
Their technology used to be terrible, but the attempted attack on Harvet by the Earth fleet resulted in Harvest joining the Tau Empire, thus gaining protection and advanced technology.
Ragoon and Ulllaaat
The Ragoon and the Ulllaat are highly advanced peoples. Although they are seperate races they have found a way to coexist under the same government and on four different worlds.
The original capital world of the Rangoon people. It is home to a vast majority of Rangoo, but also has an Ulllaaat minority. It is recourse rich and has many mines, factories, and space docks. Though it is heavily industrialized, the people who live there can still find natural beauty and the air is always fresh and clean, thanks to the advanced scrubbers on the factories.
The original capital world of the Ulllaaat people. While it has an extremely large Ulllaaa majority, Rangoo can also be seen walking its streets. While not as industrialized as its Rangoo counterpart, it still has many space ports and is the chief exporter of starship fuel. Contact between the Rangoo and Ullaaa was first made here.
Oit is a recently colonized world. It was colonized to mark 1500 years of unity in the Society. It has many caves filled with titanium, a naturally occurring element on Oit. It currently only has a few settlements, each with populations a little under a million. Many poor and adventurous people are colonizing here hoping to hit the next major titanium vien, making them rich beyond their wildest dreams.
Gyuio was colonized to celebrate the formation of the Ragoon/Ulllaat alliance. It is a major military base. Being the prime research station, most of the surface is industrialized. Although the air is clean, it has a musty smell. A large Ulllaaat population lives here.
Rangea is the pantron saint of the Turanic Raiders who colonized this in the Aftermath of the Soc-Raider War. It's existence is classified and any chance of discovering it is slim-and-nil. It has a very large population of Turanics and a small population of Rangean.
-Rangoon: 2.33 Billion -Ulllaaat: 780,000,000
-Rangoon: 340,000,000 -Ulllaaat: 3.76 Billion
-Rangoon: 15,000,000 -Ulllaaat: 17,000,000
-Rangoon: 5.78 Billion -Ulllaaat: 6.34 Billion
-Turanic: 5 Billion -Rangean: 2 billion
The Monarchy of the Society is very unique. The monarch is elected and reigns until he or she dies. Then a new monarch is elected by the people of the Society. In order to promote unity between the two races of the Society, only one race can run for the monarchy at a time.
The current monarch is a Rangoon by the name of King Ghia XI.
Monarchical Powers
The monarch has many powers:
-Declarations of War -Instate new laws -Order military to planets -Commission more military units and spending -Order new research -Outlaw certain things
Parliament of Rites
The Parliament of Rites was commissioned in 56AU by King Kilia I, because he thought the monarchy had too much power.
The Parliament is designed to ensure that the monarch does not interfere with the rights of the Societies citizens. The parliament has an even number of Ulllaaat and Rangoon members.
The chairmen of the Parliament is always the species opposite the monarch.
-Chairman -Oit Representative -Reo Representative -Huklio Representative -Gyuio Representative
