Do you prefer the challenge of trying to find fish or the fun of catching them? Given that, despite your best intentions, your boat only gets wet a half-dozen times a year, are there other factors that justify making payments on a boat loan and on boat insurance 12 months a year, plus seemingly interminable outlays for various other boat-related expenses?
Those aren't trick questions, and there are no definitive right answers. Even so, I'm confident that most recreational anglers would enthusiastically answer the first question "catching fish" and the second with an albeit reluctant "no."
Before any of you stop reading and start typing my email address, let me hasten to say that being aboard a seaworthy boat is a virtual necessity for consistently catching fish on large freshwater lakes, reservoirs and big rivers and for both inshore and offshore saltwater angling. But that boat doesn't have to belong to you. And neither does most of the tackle you might want to use in freshwater and none of what you'll be getting anywhere close to saltwater.
Hiring any guide is one solution to this dilemma; hiring the guide that's right for you in every way possible is a far better one. As we search for the trees among the guide-hiring forest, I'm going to use Truman Lake as an example, but the same principles, albeit with occasional modifications, apply everywhere.
Even though I'm not sure it should be, I know cost is the first thing on your mind, so let's start there. Guide fees on Truman average between $250 and $300, plus fuel–and tip–for a full day for two anglers. The most expensive fee I found was $350 for two anglers for a half-day (5 hours.)
Most of Truman Lakes's guides work out of specific marinas, and the best way to make initial contact with them is through the marina. A few guides work independently and have websites or other means of advertising their services. While I'm by no means suggesting that independent guides are inferior to those found through marinas, if possible, I'd work through a marina, at least at first.
From the moment you make personal contact with your potential guide–never let anyone other than a trusted friend pair you with a guide you haven't spoken to personally–clear communication is essential. Find out exactly what is and isn't covered in the guide fee. For example, how many hours of fishing is a half or a full day? Will you get to fish the entire day if you limit out early? Is tackle–including lures or bait–provided? How about lunch and/or water? Rain suits?
Don't be shy about asking for references. Past clients are a good guide's best form of advertisement, and he or she will be eager to supply you with contact information. When you contact references, remember that, in addition to being an excellent fisherman, top guides are teachers and good conversationalists. Ask if the guide fished during their trip. A good guide may fish in order to help locate fish or to try alternate methods. Unfortunately, a few guides act like they're in competition with their clients. It's not much fun to pay $250 to spend a day trying to beat your guide to every bit of cover that might hold a fish.
Communication runs both ways. For example, your guide won't endanger you, but if you're afraid of rough water, the guide needs to know beforehand. Be honest about your skill level. A good guide will do everything possible to make your day successful regardless.
This should go without saying, but ask your guide to watch you for any signs of sunburn, hyperthermia or any other medical problem. I failed to follow that advice on an inshore saltwater trip, and an otherwise super guide didn't warn me that I was getting sunburned. As a result, the skin on my nose and cheeks cracked so deeply it bled, and I spent most of the writers conference I was attending answering endless questions. I finally started telling people I'd been welding and had forgotten to lower my visor. Some of my inquirers looked at me like I was crazy, but none asked for any further information.
I'm confident enough in guides to guarantee that, far more often than not, any angler–including me–will catch more fish with a guide than without one. That said, all any guide can be expected to do is his or her best. There are days when fish wouldn't bite on dynamite, and the best fishermen on the lake will return to the dock with a dry live well.

Occurence and dietary exposure of volatile and non-volatile N-Nitrosamines in processed meat products
- Authors:
- Abstract:
- Nitrite and nitrate have for many decades been used for preservation of meat. However, nitrite can react with secondary amines in meat to form N-Nitrosamines (NAs), many of which have been shown to be genotoxic1 . The use of nitrite therefore ought to be limited as much as possible. To maintain a high level of consumer protection Denmark obtains National low limits of the nitrite use in meat products. An estimation of the dietary exposure to volatile NAs (VNA) and non-volatile NAs (NVNA) is necessary when performing a risk assessment of the use of nitrite and nitrate for meat preservation.

Residential Centre for Retired People Gains Improved Access Control With XS4
Salto Systems
: 23 April, 2010
(Application Story)
A blend of RFID fobs and access control cards are being used at a retirement complex in Cheshire providing keyless access control for residents and for care workers throughout the facility
A brand new £6.3m retirement complex in Congleton, Cheshire, has created a totally 'keyless' environment for residents and staff. Salto Systems were awarded the contract to supply their fully integrated XS4 access control solution which includes perimeter on-line door controllers, and over 90 stand alone proximity apartment doors all using a mix of RFID fobs and cards.
Owned by the Plus Dane Group, a Neighbourhood Investor (Ni) and Registered Social Landlord (RSL) with over 15,000 homes with an asset value in excess of £500m in ownership and management across Merseyside and Cheshire, 'Heath View' - which was named by the residents themselves - contains 45 self contained apartments and provides on-site domiciliary care on a 24/7 basis.
The development also boasts an excellent range of communal facilities including a hair salon, IT suite, craft room and a bistro. There is a facility for local GPs and District Nurses to hold surgeries, and Plus Dane Group will also be working in partnership with the Primary Care Trust (PCT) on a range of healthy living activities for residents.
'As the premier assisted living access control system, the XS4 solution was ideal for Heath View,' comments Darren Wetton from Aspex UK, Salto's local Independent Business Partner.
'Working in consultation with Michael Watson, Development Manager of the Plus Dane Group, we designed and then installed a highly secure and flexible access control solution that was perfectly tailored to both the client and end user's needs. Given the age of residents and the fact that some of them suffer from visual impairments, secure key control was one of the primary requirements, so right from the start the design specification called for mixed use keying, with staff using Mifare cards and residents using Mifare fobs.
Backing this up was the equally important need to have full audit trail capability and provide everything that a secure hard wired system would provide but more cost effectively and in a mix of on-line and off-line stand alone wire free formats.
Using SQL software we needed to have 'exit on lever leaves outside handle un-locked' functionality. This was required to comply with Building Control and Fire Officer requirements so that the door could not re-lock behind the resident, ensuring they could get back into their apartment without their key fob should they need to do so i.e. in case of fire etc. We also needed to have the ability to have 'audit on exit inside handle' controllability so that if a resident payed for 'external services' such as a cleaner etc, any subsequent complaints bought to Plus Dane's attention over the number of hours worked by the external service provider could be addressed by the 'audit trail' on the inside handle lever" Wetton continues.
Michael Watson, says "An international reputation for fitting out retirement developments made ours an easy decision in placing our faith in Salto. Their tried and tested solutions for such developments means we are able to manage the security needs of the apartments in a controlled and reliable way. We also like the flexibility of system, as we can get maximum benefit from the technology while providing a secure environment for both residents and staff."

A MAN was trapped in his car for an hour after a crash on the M61.
It happened on the northbound carriageway, between junction 2 and junction 4 at Farnworth, just before 7.30am on Saturday.
He was freed by firefighters and taken to Salford Royal Hospital.
A spokesman for North West Ambulance Service said although his injuries were potentially serious, they were not thought to be life-threatening.
The collision involved two vehicles and the northbound carriageway of the motorway was closed throughout the morning, for recovery work .
The southbound carriageway was also shut because it was easier for the emergency vehicles to access the scene from the other side, a Highways Agency spokesman said.
A diversion has been put in place, causing long delays for drivers.

The match between local hero Bjorn Hansen and Team Alpari FX skipper Keith Swinton, went 3-1 in the Swede's favour while the one between Mathieu Richard's Lunajets crew and Taylor Canfield USone went the full distance with Canfield eventually prevailing.
In one pre-start Canfield managed to drive the bow of his boat into the stern quarter of Richards' boat. 'There was no damage done,' explained Canfield. 'He already had a penalty in the pre-start so it was a pretty stupid high risk move for me to make. But not doing it we would have been off the line behind and in the conditions we had this morning it would have been tough to catch up. So I made the decision, went for it…and failed.'
For the Semi-Finals, Williams defied expectations and chose Francesco Bruni as his opponent. Given that GAC Pindar and Luna Rossa were the stand-out crews from Qualifying, finishing tied on points, four ahead of their opposition, this seemed like another punchy call from the British skipper.
Two flights into the Semi-Finals, held in a light southerly breeze, blowing across the fjord and extremely shifty as a result, Williams claimed the first race and felt that he should have won the second had it not been for an umpire call he deemed questionable.
Williams came ashore fuming: 'He [Bruni] dialled us into the top, we dipped and came up and he went quite wide and tacked onto port. So we tacked on to starboard and had to avoid him and then we got a red flag penalty for that. Even with the penalty, we went from being in control on the right, to being not in control, because he rolled us. So how that ended up as a red flag penalty… I think they were watching a different set of circumstances to me.' However the umpires did see it a different way maintaining that Williams hadn't completed his tack on to starboard.
In that race they had started behind thanks to a riding turn on their jib sheet, but had managed to catch up with the Italians. 'We'd done a good job, so it was doubly frustrating to be penalised like that.' Aside from the umpire call, Williams felt they were sailing well.
Similarly the Taylor Canfield versus Bjorn Hansen Semi-Final bout ended on 1-1 at the close of play.
'We had a really good last race with him where we were leading, got past and were able to get back around him and give him a penalty,' said Canfield, the defending Alpari World Match Racing Tour champion. 'I think together as a team we were going really well and we just need to refine those little mistakes we've been making throughout the week. But no big changes - we are pretty happy with the team and how we were going.'
Meanwhile Bjorn Hansen's crew seemed to have breathed a big sigh of relief having made the Quarter Finals and then the Semis and were looking ever stronger and more confident on the water. Hansen's responsibility has increased but being the sole Swede left in the competition. His supporters have laid out a giant banner on the rocks (now known as 'Hansen Hill') on the opposite shore to Marstrand saying 'Go Bjorn'.
'We had a BBQ with the guys up there yesterday. They help a lot and it is great to have their support and all the other guys on this side. There is nowhere in the world like this for sailing,' said Hansen.
And he is right – there were some dramatic moments today causing gasps from the crowd of spectators and corporate guests, which would applaud whenever a match concluded or something worthy occurred, in a Wimbledon centre court-like way. As Hansen put it: 'It is an honour to be Swedish in this race for sure.'
Racing concludes tomorrow with the final rounds of the Semi-Finals followed by the Finals.

This the fourth in a four part blog post.
Nothing is more frustrating than having your dreams derailed. There are four main reasons a dream does not come to pass – discouragement, delay, disappointment and distraction. The key to overcoming each of these is taking action "right away" to not let them take hold in your life.
We previously discussed Discouragement, Delay and Disappointment and how to combat them.
Distraction is so sneaky. We usually think a distraction has to be something negative or not appealing. That couldn't be farther from the truth! What distracts us is almost always something else that is appealing to us. Have you ever made the commitment to not spend any unnecessary money for the next couple of months because you are saving for a dream gift or event? What happens right after that? Your best friend calls and tells you there is a 70% off sale on something you have been wanting for the last six months. Something 'shiny' just got your attention – this is distraction. When the ugly head of distraction rises up, recognize it for what it is. It is a distraction from your dream. It may be nice. It may be good. It may even be 70% off. However, is it really what you wanted and what you decided was a priority? The solution to being distracted starts with setting priorities. Ask yourself, "If I act on this 'shiny' thing right in front of me, will it draw me closer to my dream, or push me farther away from it?"
How have you handled distraction?

So over the past few days I learned a few things...
1-My web goddess friend Kelly is wonderful, patient person and so giving of her time (check out those lovely pictures in the sidebar, thanks to her tutorials to me via e-mail on how to work with html). You see, I see the toys on her blog and I'm jealous, so I ask her to share how she does it. Now I want a counter thingy too, but you know...can't ask for too much at once. May start driving her crazy, if I haven't already. But she knows I love her.
2-When it is raining out and all their friends are busy, children tend to go a little squirrely and become posessive of tape and string, although hot teenage babysitters seem to appease them rather quickly.
3-My garage door repairman is not only rude, but unreliable
4-I'm not as out of shape as I thought.
No kidding! I really wasn't that sore after that bike ride. Only now my front bike tire is flat so I don't think I'll be going for another ride soon. Which is too bad, now that I know the route. (snort!)
Kevin has been climbing the walls the past few days and has been driving me batty. Maybe it's the fact that it's raining and there's not much to do, or that his friends are all busy. At any rate he's resorted to hoarding the tape and string in the house, and became quite upset when I said it must stay in the kitchen where it belongs. "But it's MINE!" he wailed. Huh? He took me too literally when I said "It's all yours" awhile ago, meaning it was all his to create his science project with. Oops. He has cheered up now that he knows he gets to have a cute babysitter on Saturday so John and I can go to a BBQ. I offered to make them dinner and when I asked him what he wanted, he asked for prawns and pasta by candlelight. "Oh, but that sounds more like a date" he ponders aloud. (I just about choked on my tea on that one)
The garage door guy showed up this morning. Early. Early? I was surprised. Again, I had just gotten out of the shower. He must have the same radar that children do when you are talking on the phone. He took one look at me standing there in a robe with a towel wrapped around my head and insisted he'd come back in "around three hours."
Whoooooooa there. Uh uh. No way. "But you said you'd fix it at 9am" I reply evenly, looking as official as one can, with no makeup and a towel on her head like a turban.
"Ya well you don't have the car moved. I'll come back." he starts to walk away. Quick! Think of something or he'll never come back!
"It will only take me a few seconds to move the car." My keys are jingling in my hand.
"I'm going. I'll be back in about three hours". He walks futher away. I was annoyed by now...
"If you had no intention of doing the job, then why did you bother coming here in the first place?" I demand. He stops and glares at me. He's pissed off. "I was told you'd fix it at 9am this morning. I will move my car, and you will fix my garage door. Now."
He fixed the garage door, all right. From the inside of the house it sounded more like he was beating it to death, but it got done. And then he peeled out of our driveway like a teenager on the way to a hot date.
Betcha he won't be so hard to get ahold of when I need to pay the bill, ya think?

Bill Withers, founder of acQuire Technology Solutions, wins Austmine Champion of Innovation Award for work with GIM Solution
Bill Withers, the founder of acQuire Technology Solutions, took home Austmine's Champion of Innovation Award in Brisbane last night. His work establishing the discipline of GIM (Geoscientific Information Management) was recognised as having a significant impact on the global exploration and mining industry. GIM takes a strategic approach to managing drill hole data and has become a critical business application for both mining and exploration around the world.
PERTH, Western Australia (20 May 2015) – Bill Withers recognised the natural resources industry was missing a valuable opportunity in how they managed drill hole data, costing explorers and miners time and money. He also knew there wasn't a quick fix or a simple solution but it didn't stop him from developing the concept of GIM (Geoscientific Information Management).
Last night in Brisbane, Bill Withers was awarded the Austmine Champion of Innovation Award for his work with GIM, a solution used in more than 450 sites around the world. By applying a 3-pronged approach of people, processes and technology, Withers has given organisations the ability to share a single source of trusted information used in exploration and mining.
"I really appreciate this award. Innovation and taking entrepreneurial risk is something I celebrate," Bill said.
"I'd like to congratulate the acQuire team. acQuire is a fantastic organisation and the acQuire team are a wonderful bunch of people."
"This was a team effort and I couldn't have accomplished any of this without the talent and dedication of a lot of people who work every day to improve the GIM Solution year after year."
Prior to GIM, there was no standardised way to store geoscientific information. Every organisation had a different way to manage this business critical information which often led to duplication, data siloes and no way to share information across teams or multiple sites.. Bill's innovative approach to GIM has saved the mining industry countless hours and ensured higher quality and more strategic decision-making.
In his acceptance speech, Bill spoke directly to the mining industry about his vision for the GIM and acQuire's commitment to the longevity of the GIM Solution
"We took on the challenge in 2007 of refactoring our code and not many take on this challenge.
"When people talk about my form of entrepreneurship, I call myself a sustainability entrepreneur.
"I hope others take on this approach rather than the grow fast and exit quick approach."
The Austmine Awards were held at the Royal International Convention Centre in Brisbane on 19 May 2015.

John Stuart Happ (born February 17, 1960) is the current Governor of Massachusetts, serving in that position since 2004. Happ was previously the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts (2003-2004) and was a member of the Massachusetts State Senate from 1997-2003 and the Massachusetts State House of Representatives from 1993-1997.
Happ ascended to the Governorship upon the resignation of Jay Leno in December of 2004 to assume the Presidency of the United States. As Governor, Happ extended health care to all Massachusetts citizens, reformed public employee pensions, legalized recreational marijuana use and has balanced the budget every year without raising taxes. Happ is regarded as a potential candidate for President in 2016.
Early and Personal Life
John Stuart Happ was born in Sioux Falls, Nebraska to John Edward Happ and Mary Elizabeth (nee Wilson) on February 17, 1960. His father was of Scottish and Dutch ancestry, and his mother's family was predominantly English. His father was an insurance broker and his mother was a hair stylist. In 1966, shortly after his younger brother John Edward, Jr. was born, the Happs moved to Boston, Massachusetts when his father was hired for a headquarters position at Boston Life Insurance (BLI). Happ attended The Deerfield Academy, a boarding school, for junior and senior high school, playing football and wrestling. He graduated in 1978 and attended Cornell University for his undergraduate degree in public policy and then attended the University of Massachusetts for his law degree, finishing in 1985.
Happ worked for the prosecutor's office in Middlesex County for several years, interning under future Congressman Tim Reilly. In 1990, Happ decided to run for the state house in the 17th District - he registered as a Democrat and narrowly lost in the primary to incumbent John Broward by 113 votes. In 1992, he ran again, this time in the 13th district after having moved to Boston, and won the Democratic primary by 16 votes after two recounts and went on to win the general election that fall.
State Government 1993-2004
Happ, at only 32 upon his election, was the second-youngest member of the State Legislature upon entry but quickly made a name for himself as a centrist Democrat seeking to help cut spending and attracting businesses to locate to Boston. In 1994, he was handily reelected and he began to considering seeking a state Senate seat upon learning that incumbent local Senator Dick Grant was considering retiring. Happ easily won election to the state Senate in 1996 and was appointed to the Finance and Health committees, where he had the opportunity to quickly emerge as a potential statewide officeholder after famously grilling then-Governor Carl Markman's nominee for Secretary of Health, Julia Philson. Happ was encouraged to run for Attorney General in 1998 and he formed an exploratory committee, but withdrew prior to the Democratic primary. He was easily reelected in 2000 to the State Senate, and was appointed head of the Senate Budget Committee, where he railed against the state's reputation as "Taxachusetts," pleasing Nationalists and conservative Democrats, while slamming the state's drug laws as draconian and encouraging more robust employment protection laws, pleasing the left.
Despite having challenged former labor activist and then-Governor Jay Leno to pass more employee-friendly business laws, Happ enjoyed a cordial relationship with Leno's chief of staff Don Brown and was added to the 2002 ticket as the candidate for Lieutenant Governor, requiring Happ to give up his second attempt at Attorney General. Happ replaced Pete Kensington, who requested to not be nominated for a second term as Lieutenant Governor. The Leno-Happ ticket defeated Attorney General Paul Celluci at the polls that November, and the Democratic Party controlled every elected statewide office in Massachusetts for the first time in history.
As Lieutenant Governor, Happ kept a low profile, mostly acting as Leno's surrogate to the state Senate. He served as Acting Governor on multiple occasions in 2003 and 2004 once Leno began campaigning for the Presidential election, and was sworn in as Governor of Massachusetts upon Leno's resignation in December of 2004 after winning the Presidency. At 43 years old upon his inauguration, he was the youngest Governor of Massachusetts since John Hancock.

Rural Crime Prevention – roll out of TRACKER subsidy
Chairperson of the Moyle Community Safety Partnership Cllr Margaret Anne McKillop urges local farmers to consider taking part in a recently extended rural crime prevention initiative to encourage farmers to fit security devices to their machinery.
Through this package, farmers across Northern Ireland will be able to access a discount when purchasing a TRACKER device to be fitted to a tractor. In the event that the tractor is stolen, the signals emitted by the device can be used to trace and recover it.
This initiative is delivered by the Rural Crime Partnership, which consists of representatives from the Department of Justice, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Police Service of Northern Ireland and NFU Mutual, and has been developed using finding from the PSNI's Rural Crime Unit.
Announcing Details of the initiative, David Ford said "I am pleased that the Rural Crime Partnership is now able to offer a subsidy to farmers across Northern Ireland. The pilot initiative run in E and F districts protected over 1.7 million worth of farm machinery. This shows how the tangible results of partnership working can benefit our rural communities.
"I recognise that there are on-going concerns about levels of agri-crime amongst the farming community, and these concerns are wider than just the theft of farm machinery. They range from livestock theft to food theft, which can have an adverse impact on the agri-food sector.
"Whilst I welcome the partnership working that is currently being undertaken to address this type of crime, I would encourage farming communities to play their part in protecting their businesses by reporting their suspicions or concerns about fraudulent activity. This can be done by contacting PSNI on 101 or the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111, or in the case of fraud, The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development's Fraud Hotline on 080 8100 2716."
PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton said: "I welcome the fact this initiative is to be rolled out across Northern Ireland. Our rural Communities plan an essential role in the local economy. Thefts of farm machinery not only hamper a farmer's ability to do their job but can cause significant upset, inconvenience and loss of income. Police understand this and we are eager to disrupt thiose who target farmers and others in the rural community.
"We know that increased vigilance and security are key elements in denying criminals an opportunity of stealing machinery or equipment. Criminals are looking to exploit soft targets and the use of TRACKER and CEASR has been very successful in deterring and detecting them. Adding these devices means that equipment is easily identifiable, and recoverable if stolen. Indeed we have had a number of successes in recent months in recovering tractors that were stolen, but had tracking measures fitted."
Mr Hamilton also called on the communities to play their part.
He added: "Information from the community is also vital in helping us address rural crime. You know your own area best and if you notice something which does not look right, are aware of machinery moving at odd times or notice unusual attention being paid to livestock in fields, phone police.
"I would also ask anyone who is interested in learning more about protecting their property and their community or about Farm Watch, trailer marking or our text alert system to phone your local crime prevention officer or neighbourhood policing team on 101."
Farmers can register their interest and reserve the subsidised rate by calling NFU Mutual on 028 9081 8688. The line will be open 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday. until 30 September 2014 (subject to demand).

He came to the city to study cancer, but instead got some unwanted sex-ed lessons. A Swedish model-turned-medical-student shelled out $1,500 for an Airbnb share in Queens — only to find out the place was a secret brothel while the renters were away, The Post has learned. Axel Brorson checked into the five-bedroom duplex in Long Island City on Aug. 18 for a planned four-month stay while he conducts research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. But Brorson, 26, gathered up his belongings and fled in disgust on Monday when he discovered the rooms were doing double-duty….

Winter is here. Time to keep yourself warm and look stylish at the same time.
Break-free from the monotonous shirts and pants that you wear to office daily. Sweaters are truly flattering when you have the right pattern and make quality choice.
Let us spill the beans on the best sweater fabrics, fit, style, colors and latest trends. Make the right choice that suits your personality.
Fabric Types in Sweaters
Various fabric types for men's sweaters that are going to rule this winter 2012-13:
Cashmere Sweaters 2012-13
Often termed as the 'Gold Standard' of sweaters. It does cost a fortune and it is absolutely warm and light. Advisable as a substantial investment for any man this winter 2012-13.
Woolen Sweaters 2012-13
Often termed, as a 'must have' in every man's closet is the most common quality sweater fabric. Cheap and affordable, historically the clothing of common laborers in rural England, woolen sweaters are back with a bang in 2012.
Cotton Sweaters 2012-13
Cotton fabric is the most preferred choice as it keeps irritation under control even when worn just above the skin and is cooler in nature.
Synthetic Sweaters 2012-13
Made from a blend of cotton and wool, synthetic sweaters are going to rule winter 2012.
Blended Sweaters 2012-13
These are a hybrid mixture of two or more fibers resulting in a sweater, which fits and performs even better than the pure one.
Choice of Color
Colors also affect the situations in which you can wear the sweater.
|Darker Colors
|Light Colored Sweaters
|Brighter Colors
|Extremely Bright Colors
|Considered more formal and conventional
|Generally worn during spring and less wintry months
|Mostly considered less formal and more casual
|Neons for men are in fashion
So, all you men out there, get set to add sweaters in different colors to your wardrobe depending on your choice of colors and their meanings.
On that note, let us also reveal the top 5 patterns in Men's Sweaters that are going to rock in winter 2012-13.
Top 5 Patterns for Men's Sweaters – 2012-13
1) Men's Woolen Cardigan 2012-13
Men's woolen cardigan (preferably unblended) tops the sweater trends 2012-13, as the most favored choice with its remarkable arrangement of mega pockets and exotic patterns.
2) Cotton Sweater 2012-13
An all time favorite which is still an 'evergreen choice' is the three gauge knit, 100% cotton sweater with patch pockets and front buttons (light shades preferably).
3) Acrylic and woolen Polo necks have that exquisite charm. We noticed several models donning them at various fashion shows by leading designers.
4) Woolen Pullovers 2012-13
If you are a sporting freak, an ideal choice would be the acrylic or woolen pullovers (either sleeved / sleeveless – in white or off white colors)
5) Jumpers 2012-13
The Jumpers are always in a league of their own with a wide variety and so they fittingly figure in winter 2012-13's toppers' list too.
Are you wondering which designs to go for this winter?
Ok let's tell you what our fashion editors have in store for you.
Designs and their Nature
|Simple Solids with Designs
|Simple Solids, Woven / Stitched

Looking for a sweater pattern to pair up with your jeans? A sportswear sweater or jerseys are the best choices as they are casual in nature with a free to fly attitude.
The right quality and pattern will make you feel more confident about yourself.

- Hi.
- Hi!
- Hi.
- Hi!
- Is that what you brought to have signed?
- Yeah, I'm a really big fan of the site, the videos, In one of them, you actually mention my favorite movie of all the time. So, I thought, hey, why not? Right?
- Aliens.
- Aliens! Yeah.
- Um, who should I make it out to?
- It's Robyn with a "Y." Actually, could you write, um, "To Robyn, you're so cool, it honestly terrifies me. Love, Stella."
- How about I just -- ?
- I'm totally kidding. It's a joke. "Thanks for the close encounter, don't be a stranger?" How about that?
- I was thinking like, "Best Wishes."
- That's really boring.
- How about I just write my name? That's easy.
- Wow, you're a lot more complicated than I thought you'd be in person.
- I don't really think it's me.
- Okay, well, you know. I feel like I'm annoying you.
- No, no, no, not at all.
- I think you're lying.
- Okay, uh, I have a long line, I'm really sorry, can we just ...
- Yeah, absolutely. You know, I almost brought you a bowl of mashed potatoes, but I thought that'd probably be super strange.
- Yeah, bring a bowl of mashed potatoes. That'd be kinda weird.
- Oh, sarcasm.
- Yeah, I'm so sorry, I really don't mean to be rude, I just have a lot of people --
- No, you're not being rude, I'm being rude, actually.
- Okay.
- If you could just wait, um, hey, I'm not some serial killer, alright? Do I look like a serial killer? And assuming I have really good intentions, like, why would I go through all this trouble to get so close to you unless it was really important. Am I right? So, all I'm asking for is ten minutes of your time, worst case scenario, I'm like some super-weird fangirl that, like, needs a BFF. So, I have a really great hotel room, actually, I convinced the concierge that I was her long lost niece, and she's an only child, so do the math, am I right? She set me up, Planet Hollywood, penthouse. 8 pm. Can I see you there? I'll get snacks. I'll have room service bring snacks, okay?
- Uh, okay. - Okay, great, thanks, bye!
- Bye.
Hi. That was weird.
Follow your heart. You're Olmec? I'll take it.

In an evenly-contested match, CRPF lost to BSF Jalandhar 1-2, while a late Deepak Thakur strike proved enough for Indian Oil to throw Punjab Police out of the competition at Mohun Bagan ground.
Punjab and Sind Bank (PSB), having already made it to the last four, took the lead twice before settling for a 2-2 truce with Air India at East Bengal ground. Army XI prevailed over Bombay XI 2-0 and completed the semi-final line-up.
PSB topped group A with seven points and will face Indian Oil (6) in the semi-finals. Group B leaders Army XI (7) will take on BSF (6) in the other clash.
Punjab Police had only themselves to blame for failing to make the next stage. They needed just a draw to advance while their opponents had no option but an outright win to stay afloat.
The defending champions, without seven regulars, never really looked a domineering side. They adopted a waiting game, perhaps knowing a point would suffice. They earned as many as four penalty corners before the break, but none produced a goal.
In the 47th minute, Lakhwinder delivered a pass to Deepak on the right and the India forward sounded the board with a powerful hit taken from the edge of the striking circle.
Earlier, Sushil Kujur scored a double (in the 11th and 18th minutes) as BSF sent CRPF packing. The last years finalists managed to pull one back, thanks to Rajesh Kindos 67-minute conversion of a penalty corner, but they were never convincing.
Post-match fracas
Air India and PSB players got involved in a post-match fracas. According to witnesses, Air Indias Gurmeet Singh was leaving the field when some PSB players started heckling him.
In their complaint to the organisers, Air India accused three PSB players of roughing up Gurmeet.

Unfortunately, the vortex did not stop! It continued to expand from its center of origin in the Indian Ocean, where Dharmaville once existed! It was theorized that this vortex would eventually swallow the entire world!
In order to determine how much time the world had left, leading scientists ran the timeline, based on the measured expansion of the vortex, through their own supercomputers. The same numbers kept coming up! The world had 4 months, 8 days, 15 hours, 16 minutes, 23 seconds, and 42 hundredths of a second, before it ceased to exist! These "doomsday" numbers, of course, caused panic throughout the population! However, as time passed, an uneasy calm eventually permeated throughout the world.
Back in his TTA office, Aaron Littleton was amused by the irony. The Dharma Iniative and Bentley Linus had achieved what they had always professed was their goal all along. It may have taken the impending threat of an apocalyptic destruction, but the world was finally at peace! The End.

If time permits, then tourists on a trip to Sringeri are 'recommended' to visit the Malayala Brahma Temple. The main deity of the temple is Kshetra Palaka, popular as Malayala Brahma among the natives. As per popular folklore, a Malayala Brahmana Scholar was turned into a Brahma Raksha for not sharing knowledge; however, Sage Vidyaranya asked him to serve as a Kshetra Palaka. The idol of the presiding deity is located on the left of the entrance of the Sharadamba Temple with a mace in its hands.

Never married but have dated some amazing women. No kids. I'm a rare hot commodity at this point. I'm a great partner and very supportive. Any of my ex's would attest to that.
Let us be honest. I could go on and on like a resume saying all these things trying to seem exotic. I am not. I am a basic guy. I rent a two bedroom apartment on my own. I'm tall, and intellegent. I add errors for irony and my own entertainment. I am not well traveled, but well educated. I love to learn about the world, other cultures and have an open mind that they are different than my own. I would like to travel, but truthfully, I'm a home body and I like to live a simple and comfortable life. I don't need, "the rush." I don't live for excitement and I don't go searching for it. Does it find me? Sure and I can handle it very well. In basic I am a Virgo almost to a Tee. Except I do talk alot and i'm very out spoken and outgoing. (Middle Child).
I have a job. I have a car. (need a better one sure, but I like to fix it when it's broken). I have really odd sayings and have some very entertaining things that come out of my mouth.
I'm the cliche of being a big guy at 6'4" with a bit of extra. (at least I'm cute haha).
Talking of what I can do. I'm going to say instead of the things I DON'T
I do not have kids, I don't have drama, I don't make drama. I'm not married nor divorced. I don't have drama.
I don't cheat
I'm not a liar
I don't play games
I don't hit women, nor verbally abuse
I don't like people to do things they don't want to
I don't go to the gym. Should I? Sure, but lets be honest, I lack the motivation. Guilty! (Funny voice)
I don't always censor myself, and I enjoy a bit of shock value.
I hate people that put too much emphasis on the need to be a great speller and have amazing grammar. I speak in tangents and my grammar is awful. Spelling means absolutly nothing, and I often do the mistake intentionally.... and sometimes not. Now.... sure I don't like cuz, dawg,, yo brb brt blah blah blah. Okay, that can be extremely annoying when there is a keyboard and not text. BUT (long pause), I think it is extremely judgemental and very snobbish for those profiles that feel a persons intelligence is based upon their ability to spell or write amazingly. Myself, I am a great speaker and have a vast knowledge of car repair, health care, interpersonal relationships and current events. People whom want to judge others and play English teacher on them is like that fucking asshole parent (mom or dad) that goes around to all of their friends and tells them how they should raise their kids, or how their marriages should be ---ahhh the vent, the creation of the awckward silence ass everyone stairs in disbelief that they cannot believe what just happened (then someone farted)
(yes I'm a guy and farts are still funny. I believe girls fart too)
In basic. Yes, I am a good guy. I'm a great guy and I have a lot of fun with myself. All that I am lacking is a girl that is able to have the same kind of fun that I have with myself. My mind bounces a lot. Think Family Guy.
If you read that far.... really means nothing except the fact that I provided some slim entertainment. Really, if you think I'm cute (oh I am). Can tolerate listening to a guy (which i'm told I sound like Seth Rogen), and looking for something that includes stability. Cool. If you want to messege me on all of my errors and provide me an education on how I should spell check, use professional blah blah blah. I'm not writing a work email, a thesis nor presentation.
But secretely, I am one of those snobs. I do get annoyed but there, their, they're myself. HAHAHA!I'm looking for a girl that I can not only do great activities, but the more important ones. The day to day ones. Where she is my other 1/2. She holds me up, as I do her, she also keeps me in check, in line, and strive just as I would her. A girl that an arguement is just that, a difference in opinion, not a battle over who is right, and who is wrong. A battle where there needs to be a winner
Beyond that, I'm planning my survival of the zombie apocalypse. I. E. Stocking up on twinkies. They could become a currency!
You can also answer this question which I just can not find an answer...
A woman has kids, but does not want any more.
Does that mean she prefers a guy that has kids already and potentially has baby momma drama?
More so, women prefer men that don't have kids.
Does that mean a woman whom has kids and doesn't want any more, and a guy with no kids.
That means she wants a guy that doesn't want any? Cause that means he won't like that she already has some.
Therefore, the only conclusion I can come up with, is that a girl can only then find a guy that loves kids and the only reason he doesn't have any is because he is not capable of having any of his own. Because any guy that loves kids, may love another girls like they ate his own, but he is going to want a kid of his own.
A lot of girls seem to want the situation that is highly improbable, illogical and not realistic. Or, there is an answer to this that I am missing. Someone, please tell me!

Arguably the best movie in Joe Johnston's canon, this Disney catalog title did not ignite the box office, but it had a perfect movie poster and became a decent hit on home video.
The barebones DVD release most likely points to a similar treatment for the Blu-ray release, unless of course Disney can pull together a few bucks for the special features budget. If that happens, maybe we can catch up with stars Billy Campbell, Timothy Dalton, Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly and Lost's Terry O'Quinn and have them provide a few retrospective annecdotes about this above-average superhero movie.
A director's commentary and look at the design of the rocket pack, too, please.
We wouldn't recommend it, but you may find yourself wanting to throw things at your HDTV set when The Rocky Horror Picture Show finally makes its way to Blu-ray. No longer will you have to go out in public in that corset, garter belt and fishnets getup (unless you want to, of course), to get the true theatrical experience of the cult mashup of musical, sci-fi and horror.
It features Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Bruce Boxleitner and a cast of brilliant misfits, not to mention a number by the one and only Meatloaf. Now you can dress up and sing out "Sweet Transvestite" in the comfort of your own home.
You may have seen the film hundreds of times, but you've never seen it like this. And according to both fan sites and industry insiders alike, Twentieth Century Fox recently held auditions for fans to recreate the film for new special features to be included on the upcoming Blu-ray, so there's that to look forward to. We see you shiver with antici...pation.
Seeing this delightful little school production reminded us that Scarface has yet to transition to Blu-ray. Since when is Tony Montana afraid to take advantage of an opportunity? Scarface remains one of the most popular gangster films ever created, and we're amazed it isn't sitting on the Blu-ray shelf next to The Godfather and Goodfellas by now.
The previous DVD versions were impressive in their own right. The most recent Platinum Edition boosted both the sound and picture quality and included a healthy dose of extras, everything from documentaries to a featurette on the videogame to a feature that kept a running tally of the F-bombs Montana dropped over the course of the film.
We don't need the Blu-ray version to reinvent the wheel all over again. We merely want a disc that can take true advantage of the storage space Blu-ray offers. That remastered sound will boom even louder. For kicks, why not include the original 1932 Scarface as well? There's no reason we can't have both.
Shrek Trilogy
With the fourth and final film in the series coming to theatres this year, fans (are there any still?) can expect DreamWorks and Paramount Home Entertainment to release the first three films on the format to coincide with the fourth film's release. Home movie tie-ins are a must with properties like this.
Shrek holds up well, better than Shrek 2, and these movies will certainly look amazing on Blu-ray. PIXAR amazing? Maybe not, but fans of Donkey singing Smashmouth can finally rest easy, as their favorite green ogre animated movie franchise gets closer to its deserved Blu-rayness.
Star Trek: The Next Generation
So far, only the Original Star Trek series is available on Blu. The third season set experimented a bit, giving us for the first time HD-remastered episodes of the animated Trek series and Deep Space Nine. We will most likely see one of those series on the format, but hopefully not before we get the next big gun in the Trek canon, Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The delay to Blu-ray is linked to the fact that, unlike TOS, TNG was shot on high-grade videotape. Yeah… converting that to 1080p is harder than sitting through Season 7's "Sub Rosa." But we hear that the title – all seven seasons worth – is a high priority for Paramount, given the recent success of J.J. Abrams' reboot. It's actually kinda cool to be a Trekker for the first time ever, and we hope some of that translates over to the extras portion of the releases. The DVD sets were sorely lacking in commentaries and original episode trailers. If Paramount wants this set to be more than a shiny import of the SD versions, then they should start saving up for the cost of a Patrick Stewart commentary now.
Star Wars Trilogies
History seems to be repeating itself. For many years, Star Wars was the single greatest hole in DVD's massive catalog. With no Star Wars to speak of, DVD lacked complete legitimacy and VHS was allowed to subsist for a while longer. But when George Lucas finally gave the okay and started bringing his iconic franchise to DVD, VHS died a quick and fiery death. Sort of like Porkins at the Battle of Yavin.
We don't expect DVD to vanish quite so easily, but it remains true that Blu-ray will forever be lacking in the eyes of the world until Star Wars makes its grand debut. Granted, The Clone Wars has already hit Blu-ray, but we're talking about the two Star Wars trilogies here.
We're not alone in hoping for Blu-ray versions of the original trilogy that allow fans to pick between various versions of the film. The more recent DVD editions allowed viewers to choose between the Special Edition or original cut. However, the originals were slapped on merely as afterthoughts, with no attempt to clean up the picture or sound. Lucas' stance seems to be that fans can either have all the upgrades or none of them. Hopefully that stance will have softened for the Blu-rays.
Rumors persist that Lucas, inspired by the success of Avatar, is looking into converting all six Star Wars films into 3D. If this is the case, it may be several more years before fans get their full helping of Star Wars on Blu-ray. All we know is that, once the trilogies do arrive, they had better blow our minds with pristine quality and more special features than you can shake a lightsaber at.
The second highest-grossing movie of all time (Avatar pwned!) is heading for the format as we speak, er, type. James Cameron will first oversee a re-release of the film theatrically, and in 3D (naturally), so all of you Celine Dion fans will have to wait a bit longer to get your fix in 1080p.
Given the fact that the movie's lead actress, Kate Winslet, had a bad experience working with the demanding director, don't hold out for a commentary from her. But maybe Leonardo DiCapitated could lend his time for a few insights into the film that blew up his career. Expect a two-disc special release for this movie, and subsequent double-dips down the line.
Transformers: The Animated Series
If G.I. Joe needs to suit up and head over to Blu-ray, then so too does the classic Transformers animated series. The story here is much the same as it is for G.I. Joe. Shout! Factory has done a commendable job of bringing the whole series to DVD, complete with bonus features and everything fans want. Still, the video and audio quality could be better. Blu-ray offers the chance to make it better. How awesome would it be to hear Stan Bush's classic anthem "You've Got the Touch" in true HD sound? So awesome.
Once again, we understand the difficulty in taking source material that probably isn't in the best of shape and sprucing it up for HD. But with Transformers proving more popular now than it has in many years, we feel the time is right to bring the Robots in Disguise to Blu-ray.

|Is shutdownLibrary() really needed?
|Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:48:41 GMT
I'm not trying to start an argument about proper coding. I agree, we should always release allocated resource, etc. My question is more along the lines of what would happen if shutdownLibray() was **not** invoked when a process exits? >From the simple_producer.cpp example I see we invoke shutdownLibrary() right before the process exits. I see that it's documented as: Shutdown the ActiveMQ-CPP Library, freeing any resources that could not be freed up to this point. All the user created ActiveMQ-CPP objects and Decaf Library objects should have been destroyed by the time this method is called. Great. But what if I forgot to invoke shutdownLibrary() before the processes exited, or if the process crashed without invoking the method? Would external resource be left dangling? Thanks, -=John -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Is-shutdownLibrary-really-needed-tp4165716p4165716.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

THE threat of storms did not dampen revellers' spirits last night as crowds flocked to the city for a night of celebration.
Music pumped from speakers above Flinders Street to set the tone before the night's scheduled entertainment. More than 450,000 people were expected to ring in the new year in the city on a sweltering evening, as the temperature peaked at 41.1 degrees after 6pm.
Sunglasses, thongs and bare flesh were popular looks for the evening as trains delivered people to the night's hot spots with relatively few interruptions. More than 80,000 people were expected to pour through Federation Square.
Melbourne City Council workers were on alert as rain clouds appeared on the horizon. The Bureau of Meteorology prediction of high winds and possible storms threatened to delay the city's fireworks display, but council spokeswoman Beck Angel said a decision would not be made until the last minute.
As the temperature soared during the day, the thousands gathered in Lorne and at the Falls Festival searched for relief from the heat. Shaded areas were sought after watching bands in the sun became a lower priority.
Hundreds of punters took advantage of the non-stop shuttle buses operating throughout the day, which transported patrons to Lorne's surf beach.
Early in the day, Lorne was teeming with families, rock music fans and other holiday makers. The beach was almost at capacity and the town's strip of cafes, surf shops and bars did a roaring trade.
But oppressive conditions in the afternoon emptied the town, as most sought sanctuary in air-conditioned homes, hotel rooms and units.
At Falls last night, American acts Cold War Kids, the National and the Rapture mixed with Australian acts Tame Impala, the Beautiful Girls and Dan Kelly. It was left to Joan Jett and her classic hit I Love Rock 'n' Roll to count down to midnight.
Across the state, police and paramedics were out in force. Ambulance Victoria deployed a record number of paramedics, including 54 extra staff members dedicated to the CBD, some on bikes.
Ambulance Victoria spokesman Phil Cullen said there had been a handful of heat-related call-outs during the day.
Victoria Police operated two temporary stations at Alexandra Gardens and Waterfront City in the Docklands, while plain clothes and uniformed officers were on patrol.
The emergency services were supported by the seven Salvation Army ''Chill Out'' tents dotted around the city to provide respite for partiers.
Major Brendan Nottle said he often saw people coming into the city ''already fuelled up''. ''We also see people just keep drinking; it's hot so they have another drink.''
At 4pm the train service was threatening to buckle under the heat. Services through North Melbourne station were delayed due to an overhead powerline fault and there were sporadic cancellations on other lines.

As options traders we have the advantage over other investors. Why? Because with each and every trade we have the opportunity to structure positions that can generate profits regardless of market direction. In fact, strategies like iron condors perform perform best when our underlying of choice moves sideways during our stated expiration cycle. More importantly, we have the ability to choose our own probability of success and the only way to do that is through selling options. Selling options is a far superior strategy to buying options. So why do so many people choose to buy options? Why is the strategy of buying options so prevalent in the world of options. Is it because they are easy to understand?

April Expiration Cycle is Behind Us
The Brazil ETF (EWZ) is the only underlying in an extreme state at the moment. We do have a few other highly-liquid ETFs entering into overbought/oversold territory, but nothing to trigger a trade. Again, EWZ is the only security currently in a short-term extreme. The implied volatility in EWZ is actually above 30%, so the ETF offers an interesting play at the moment and one that I might be making early next week in the Premium Seeker Portfolio. I recently introduced three new portfolios based on the key concepts I've based my trading on for years - probabilities, mean-reversion and proper risk-management. My approach hasn't changed at all.

One Anomaly After Another
It's been a while since my last post. In fact, it's been exactly one month. During that time I received the following email from a long-standing subscriber: I'm sure that you don't need reinforcement for your strategies, but the following summary of SPY by Tom Sosnoff pretty much echoes your take on the current situation. Since October expiration, yesterday's rally in the SPY marked 12 out of 16 days it's gone up. Assuming that there's a 50/50 chance that the SPY will go up or down on a given day, there's about a 2.78% probability of having only 4 down days out of 16. And it's unlikely even if you don't believe that the probability is exactly 50/50. If that weren't unlikely enough, the SPY is up over 8% since Oct expiration. … [Read more...]

Good grief! Who woulda thought that a hurricane could effect someone so far inland?! Well, it did! We've been without power since Sunday morning about 5 am, and just got it back within the last hour. Things could have been so much worse that what they were, so I am ever grateful for that. We lost about 4 trees, 2 of which are pretty good sized ones. Of course they had to land on a fence! Ha.
Things have been a little "off" because of that. We ate out for lunch and dinner yesterday which were not originally in the budget. Thank God that I left a little wiggle room!
Anyway, here is my menu plan for September 15th-20th
- Shephard's Pie. Homemade Biscuits.
- Crockpot Chicken. Hashbrown Casserole.
- Frozen Soup leftovers from my freezer
- Cheesy Italian Tortellini. Green Beans. Homemade French Bread.
- Potato/Ham Soup
- We have a wedding to go to Saturday evening so no meal is planned.
I love fall! It starts to get chilly and is the perfect weather for a steamy hot bowl of soup with some homemade bread!

Stop Arming for a War That We Won't Fight
Published: July 15, 1989
To the Editor:
On one Op-Ed page, Senator Carl Levin declares mobile missiles a waste (June 25). On another, we read that criticism is rising in Washington about the cost of the Stealth bomber program (''Peace and Its Implications,'' Anthony Lewis's column, June 1).
In neither case, however, do the complaints get to the heart of the matter. For neither mobile missiles nor Stealth bombers have anything to do with the security or welfare of the nation. Both are truly nonsense, for they are preparations for a war we cannot fight, let alone win. They are part of the scenery of the cold war, which by common consent has almost disappeared.
Stealth is particularly vulnerable and should be a prime object of Congressional money saving. It is a weapon without a mission to justify its unimaginable cost. If this country can afford Stealth at around $600 million a copy, it can surely afford health and education and housing programs worthy of a rich nation, to say nothing of the matter of livable air. All these are necessities for millions of Americans, while Stealth, a technological marvel perhaps, is nevertheless militarily useless and a gigantic fraud on the taxpayers. W. H. FERRY Scarsdale, N.Y., June 27, 1989


text: Email Etiquette Notes By Derek Zarate http://www.emailreplies.com/ 1. Be concise and to the point Do not make an e-mail longer than it needs to be. Remember that reading an e-mail is harder than reading printed communications and a long e-mail can be very discouraging to read. 2. Answer all questions, and pre-empt further questions An email reply must answer all questions, and pre-empt further questions – If you do not answer all the questions in the original email, you will receive further e-mails regarding the unanswered questions, which will not only waste your time and your customer's time but also cause considerable frustration. 3. Use proper spelling, grammar & punctuation This is not only important because improper spelling, grammar and punctuation give a bad impression of your company, it is also important for conveying the message properly. 4. Make it personal Not only should the e-mail be personally addressed, it should also include personal i.e. customized content. 5. Use templates for frequently used responses Some questions you get over and over again, such as directions to your office or how to subscribe to your newsletter. 6. Answer swiftly Customers send an e-mail because they wish to receive a quick response. 7.Do not attach unnecessary files By sending large attachments you can annoy customers and even bring down their e-mail system.

The name of this song is 'Remixed, I'm Brand New', but really we do not see and hear a difference than listening secular rap artists. This sort of music would really make anyone go back out in the world and desire the real thing. G. Craig Lewis allegedly stated that christian rap is okay, but not hip hop gospel. Really? So this guys can look like thugs and rap to a beat and still say their say they are brand new in Christ while hip hop gospel artists are being allegedly rebuked by him? Is that fair?
From this song, we felt no anointing, nothing caused us to cry out to God and praise Him. We felt no anointing to make us speak in unknown tongues. Really, when you sing or perform as a gospel artist, you ought to do it to please the Lord and not the world and when you hear it, the song should make you feel like the Holy Ghost is all over you and filling the room. We asked ourselves, 'where was the anointing in the music or where was it coming from the artist to deliver the homosexual, the prostitute or even the murderer? There was none, all we heard was just a style of music, so similar secular rap artists. If these christian rap artists are supposed to be saved and different, how are they going to approach a drug dealer or even a secular rap artists acting like them? People whom are trying to leave the life of slanging dope want something totally different and that is an experience through the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Furthermore, we cannot see God judging hip hop gospel artists while condoning rap, all gospel artists must show a difference between being holy and no longer being a part of Satan's camp.
God also is looking for more preachers to tell it like it is, because really you cannot bargain with God. You cannot say to one group, your music is okay, but the other group, your music is controlled by demonic forces. God does not show preferential treatment and if hip hop gospel artists are wrong for what they do, then so are these christian rappers, including christian rock music artists.
All of you inspiring gospel artists whom really want to do a work for the Lord and bring in lost souls through your music, be real and don't play with God, because He will not accept those whom bargain with Him and compromise with the world, in order to make money in exchange to satisfy their terms and conditions. If you really are brand new, you ought to not just look brand new, but act brand new. If you were once on the corner slanging dope, then sing like you are no longer a part of that fast life, so souls will pay more attention to what you have to say, because while viewing this video, it appeared as though these guys were full of foolishness, in our opinion.
