In this video, Brian Anthony Bowen reveals Scriptures the Church never talks about which prove that Jesus taught that LGBT people are born this way...and that prove the Apostle Paul ordained Gay Marriage...IN THE BIBLE!
This changes EVERYTHING!

that in latter times
some will turn away from the faith,
giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits
and doctrines that demons teach,

some will turn away from the faith,
giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits
and doctrines that demons teach,
Through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars
whose consciences are seared (cauterized),
Who forbid people to marry
(1 Timothy 4:1-3)Dear Pastor Savelle,
Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
As an associate ministry with Kenneth Copeland Ministries, I am living in faith that you have already heard the good news I'm about to share with you herein, but I'm writing to you directly because I believe the undertaking that is about to take place in the Body of Christ can use an Prayerful touch. While I realize you may decline to personally lead this move in an active or public role, I believe it would be a travesty if the Body of Christ were denied access and power to your revelations from God's Word concerning Prayer Petitions at this critical niche in Church (and human) history.
My name is Brian Anthony Bowen, and I am the author of a forthcoming book entitled, "The Bed Keeper," which I believe will launch your ministry into a new phase, and the Body of Christ into a new day! I write today to refer you to the message Pastor George Pearsons shared with his congregation at Eagle Mountain International Church on November 6, 2011, entitled:
Hearts Wide Open: The Touch of Compassion, Part 5
Also, please consider Brother Kenneth Copeland's prophetic utterance regarding our place in the Kingdom of God from November 11, 2011, (available from YouTube) which seems to confirm by the Power of the Holy Spirit, what I am about to share with you in this letter. You can review the transcript to Brother Copeland's prophetic utterance here.
Please consider also Sister Billye Brim's teaching from her series, "Daniel" wherein she (along with Pastors George and Terri Pearsons) reveal to Eagle Mountain International Church a prophecy uttered by God through Brother Justus Du Plessis regarding this new move of God way back in August 1996, and my interpretation of its meaning here.
Please also review other pertinent open letters to:
The World Wide Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community
Eagle Mountain International Church
Kenneth Copeland Ministries
Joel Osteen and Lakewood Church
Open Letter to All Christians
As you may know by now, on November 1, 2011, I was invited by Brother Tim Clinton( @zoneradiolive on Twitter ), to participate in a discussion on TheZoneRadioShow.org (Cleveland, Ohio) with Pastor Dr. Darrell Scott, Senior Pastor of New Spirit Revival Center www.nsrcministries.org, and Pastor Jathan K. Austin ( @PastorJKA on Twitter ), regarding new revelation from God's Word on the issue that has most divided the church over the centuries, and how we can at last bridge the gap between the sides and come into a new understanding of what God's Word does (and doesn't say) about homosexuality and gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people (yes, there is a difference)….and at long last, give them incentive to come to church, and give the church incentive to invite us….all based strictly on God's Word….but in a way none of us most likely expected to happen.
Please explore this final draft of The Bed Keeper.
What you will find is a collection of revelations from Scripture pertaining not only to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, but also how we interact prophetically in cooperation with the Body of Christ to prepare the Bride of Christ for His return, and how God has assigned us specific tasks within the church; most notably, the task of bringing our offerings to His altar, and how the traditional teachings of Christianity on this subject has inadvertently prevented our offerings from reaching God's altar. In the process of reading this material, you'll learn how Shepherds have inadvertently "robbed the tithes from God," by preventing LGBT people from coming to Church to include ours on His altar as well. Further, this has also prevented the manifestation of the Glory of the Lord to the extent witnessed and testified to in 2 Chronicles 7, when the fire fell from heaven and consumed the offerings on the altar, and the Glory of the Lord filled the temple. Please see Chapter 20: Fire From Heaven for a more detailed explanation.
Since first beginning to receive this revelation from Scripture nearly 7 years ago, this message has continued to grow and mature to the point it is today, as Scripture has testified to Scripture, and 2 or 3 witnesses from Scripture have been revealed that verify each word I share in The Bed Keeper. This has resulted in the book being rather wordy, but at least it doesn't leave any room for doubt, though there will always be room for some amount of disagreement, especially when first examining the evidence, even though it comes directly from Scripture itself.
As I watched Pastor George's sermon, I couldn't help but feel that (whether in the Spirit or in the natural), he already knew that on November 1, 2011, something new had happened in the Church, and that the Body of Christ will never be the same. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but as he spoke of his Church's outreach to people in the community whom most had not come in contact with or fellowshipped with much before, I couldn't help but sense that he was speaking of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community; many of whom are already Christians in search of a church to call home, where Scripture means what it says…and doesn't mean what it doesn't say.
Pastor George seemed to indicate that not only would folks like us be coming to Eagle Mountain International Church, but that they would be training up ministers to assist in this new ingathering as the prayers for the Great Awakening appear to have awakened even those people that most members of the Body of Christ had written off as prodigals many centuries ago. I hope your ministry is part of this process as well, and encourage you to contact Pastor George to confirm your support of this new endeavor!
It is also my sincere hope that your ministry team will stand in prayer for this work of God in the Church today. I am praying that The Bed Keeper helps you and your ministry team to have as complete a revelation from God's Word as is humanly possible, in order to dispel the myths traditional Christianity has held as truth in times past, but also in order to help the Church position herself in a place where she is at last the Glorious Church, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. It just so happens as you'll see from Chapter 20: Fire From Heaven, that until LGBT people are affirmed in faith bodies all over the world, and also contributing our offerings on His altar, Jesus is prophetically prevented from returning to the earth until all prophecies are fulfilled (in accordance with Luke 24:44), including God's Own prophecy to eunuchs in Isaiah 55:11-56:12 (whom Jesus teaches includes eunuchs born so from our mother's womb in Matthew 19:11-12), whom you and I today refer to as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. Please see Chapter 4: Messengers of The King for a more detailed explanation.
It is my hope that as you address the question in public venues or in your congregation, that you will first take the time to study these findings from The Bed Keeper, and become more intimately acquainted with what the differences are between "homosexuality" and "homosexual people" and "homosexual acts engaged in by heterosexual married men," so that you can provide more thorough and Scripturally accurate responses that not only avoids condemning all gay people out of hand, but at the same time, address all the heterosexual men engaged in cheating on their wives with other men, who currently get off scott free as the Church has traditionally only scapegoated gay people, without ever considering that both Scripture (and life itself) portray a very different reality; a reality that once confronted, may indeed prove to be the cure for HIV/AIDS as homosexual and heterosexual mixing comes to an end. Please see Chapter 19: Go and Sin No More for a more detailed explanation.
Currently, new infection rates of HIV/AIDS occur in the World Health Organization's MSM category (men who have sex with men, regardless of their identified sexuality). The second highest new infection rate is among women (particularly women of color) who contract the disease from heterosexual partners. As the Church focuses its energy (and blame) on gay men, it would seem that these types of transmissions are impossible without the intermingling of heterosexual men having relations with both women AND gay men. Ignoring this not only fails to address the situation as honestly as Scripture itself does, but also provides these heterosexual men with immunity from scrutiny (and correction) from the Church, and prevents LGBT people from coming to your congregation as the safe space for worship it claims to be.
"Safe Space" can no longer mean "you're welcome to come to church if you're gay and bring your offerings." No, from this day forward, "Safe Space" can only be truly defined as "you're welcome to come to church if you're gay and bring your offerings because we see that Scripture does not condemn gay people themselves, but rather heterosexual married men engaging in adultery." After all Pastor, that's what the Bible actually says, and your unawareness of that fact will no longer provide you immunity from criticism and correction from the LGBT community, nor from judgment upon your entire congregation from God Himself:
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children. Hosea 4:6
Ignorance to God's Word never changes God's Word, and He will hold blind shepherds to account, just as He said He would in Isaiah 56:10-12, 1 Corinthians 5-7, Malachi 2-3, and various other passages of Scripture. The Body of Christ can no longer afford to keep its head buried in the sand on this issue if we truly want to prepare the Church for the return of Jesus Christ! Every Christian who ever lived and died before us and our own personal resurrections are on the line! God didn't just send Jesus to save us from eternal torment, but to raise us to eternal life. That will not happen without the Return of Christ, and He cannot return until all prophecies are fulfilled (Luke 24:44), and that includes Isaiah 55:11-56:12. See Chapter 4: Messengers of The King for a more detailed explanation.
Simply saying "homosexuality is sin" condemns all gay people (many of whom do not even have sexual relations of any kind), while at the same time ignoring the heterosexual married men who are actually engaged in the exact form of adultery that is actually being addressed specifically throughout Scripture. Of course they are also the ones who bring the tithes to the church (since most gay people have felt excluded by such public messages from the Church), and so it can take a brave Shepherd like Pastor George to shed light on this fact, and I hope you'll follow his leadership at JSMI. In short, homosexuality has been elevated to an 11th Commandment status, and has replaced God's Own Commandment against heterosexual adultery.
Doing so is to judge God's Own Law. But of course, I understand that is what traditional Christianity has always taught, and that traditions of men have long ago blind sided many shepherds to the distinctions I hope to convey to you--and indeed the entire Body of Christ--throughout The Bed Keeper.
Of equally disturbing concern is that each Sunday most Church leadership quotes Malachi 3:8-10 to remind the congregation that "robbing the tithe from God prevents the windows from heaven opening and prevents God from being able to pour out a blessing over our lives" in an effort to unScripturally goad them into giving 10% of their income, rather than the amount they have purposed in their hearts as Paul directs Christians in 2 Corinthians 9:6-10.
However, if we more closely examine the Scripture referred to from Malachi, we see it actually begins in Malachi 2, not Malachi 3, and is addressed to priests themselves who are the ones robbing God of the tithes by preventing all the tithes from even reaching God's altar, because of messages from the Church that discourage LGBT people from coming to His House of Prayer for ALL people to include ours as well....as well as our parents, friends and families who have felt as equally shunned by the Church as we have been. Please see Chapter 20: Fire From Heaven for a more detailed explanation of that aspect.
On the other hand, we have LGBT people who have not only been Christians all their lives, but at the same time have felt sentenced to politely knock outside the Church door, instead of being affirmed according to God's Own Prophecy from Isaiah 55:11-56:12. Until that prophecy becomes fulfilled, according to Jesus in Luke 24:44, He is prophetically prevented from returning to the earth. It occurs to me that we can be as saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Spirit as we want, but without the return of Jesus Christ, and our subsequent bodily resurrection, we will never attain the eternal life that He died to give us all. If we look carefully at John 3:16, we see that not only does Jesus save us from hell, but also raises us to eternal life with Him. As a Christian, I want both. There! I admit I'm a Christian for a rather selfish reason…but then again, aren't we all?
I have already begun sharing this message on Twitter, and through the blog version of the book, more than 25,000 people in 82 countries have already taken a glimpse into the future of the Body of Christ, and seen that it is indeed good! I hope you'll follow me on Twitter where I am known as @TheBedKeeper so that you can see how I envision parts of this message can best be communicated to the LGBT community, and in the meantime, that you will begin the process of praying with your partners (and prayer ministers the world over) on the best practices for revealing this message to the congregation at JSMI as well as all your associate Shepherds and ministries in the Body of Christ, and come to lead them in the best way to reveal this message to members of their own flocks, and LGBT people in their own communities.
I know this is a lot to take in, and I don't expect that it will happen overnight. However, I will be sending this information to other leading ministries as well, with the expectation that God will eventually appoint me to work under a ministry that has demonstrated not only an understanding of the material, but also a commitment to continue to now share it with the rest of the Body of Christ. Pastor George's sermon on November 6, 2011, the prophetic utterance God ministered through Brother Copeland on November 11, 2011, and Justus Du Plessis's prophetic utterance from August 1996, are so far the surest signs I have received from God that the preaching of the word I participated in on November 1, 2011 has already taken effect!
Now, I'm left only to wonder if your ministry is one that stands in prayer for this new revelation from God's Word and its successful implementation at JSMI and throughout the Body of Christ, and provide us all with an opportunity for this message to be revealed from within the Church outward, rather than be forced to reveal this message to the masses and hope the church catches up, and thereby sacrifice the last remaining shreds of Scriptural and moral authority the Church seems to have in the earth today, (and quite possibly push LGBT people even further away as their suspicions of the church's errors are proven correct). Their reaction to the message will be dependant solely on the way the Church handles this; either as an "Angels and Demons" type expose' from someone outside the Church, or as a responsible Body of Believers who are open enough to correction to right the ship ourselves, just as we did concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, women, slavery, prosperity, health, and indeed the Protestant Reformation itself. Throughout the process, prayer will be the power that binds us in united purpose as we see prophecy begin to unfold in front of our very eyes.
It is my intent to publish this book on February 1, 2012 unless a strong ministry steps forward that is willing to lead this message from within the Church instead, because this isn't just about the American Christian Church. God has placed LGBT people in every nation, every city, every race, every family, and every RELIGION (and denominations therein)! I sincerely believe as Christianity opens the path to God for Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Pagan, Wiccan, Universalist, Mormon, Jehovah's Witnesses, Black Israelite, and even Atheist and Agnostic gay people, He will use LGBT people themselves to spread the Word amongst ourselves, cross every religious dividing line, and invite them into the Christian fold. See Chapter 21: GAZA: Holy Land for Gays for a more detailed explanation of this vision.
It's a big job, and we need a big ministry to pull it off. But no ministry can do it alone, and no ministry can succeed without a powerful force of intercessory prayers pleading on God's behalf for His Will to be done in the earth, and for His Word to go forth and accomplish that which He pleases and purposes, so it will indeed PROSPER in the thing for which He sent it.
Key Scriptures:
Matthew 19:11-12 Jesus proves we are born gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (See Chapter 1 of The Bed Keeper for more details)
Isaiah 55:11-56:12 God demands LGBT people be included and affirmed in church (and demands our offerings be included on His altar) before Jesus can return. (See Chapter 1, Chapter 3, Chapter 4 and Chapter 20 of The Bed Keeper for more details)
2 Chronicles 7:1-3 reads like a prophecy of what happens after our offerings get to God's altar; the fire from heaven consumes the offerings, and the glory of the Lord fills the house (See Chapter 20 of The Bed Keeper for more details)
Luke 24:44 Jesus confirms all prophecies must be fulfilled before He can return to the earth (SeeChapter 4 of The Bed Keeper for more details)
1 Timothy 4:1-3 The Holy Spirit warns that in the latter times, some Christians would fall away from the faith, having been seduced by doctrines demons teach, through the hypocrisy and pretense of liars whose consciences have been seared, who "forbid people to marry." At no other time in human history has all elements contained in this particular prophecy been fulfilled as we see today right before our very eyes. (See Chapter 2 and Chapter 17 of The Bed Keeper for more details)
2 Kings 9:29-37 and Esther 1:1-22 Read as analogies of LGBT people delivering a message from the King to the Bride of Christ, urging her to come to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and what happens if She refuses (Queen Jezebel and Queen Vashti), and what happens if She accepts. (Queen Esther) (See Chapter 4 of The Bed Keeper for more details)
Romans 1 and Leviticus 18 both condemn heterosexual married men who cheated on their wives and/or worshipped idols, both of which are violations of the 10 Commandments. These passages also help us see the importance of not mixing heterosexual and homosexual interactions, and could quite possibly be the cure for HIV/AIDS. (See Chapter 16, Chapter 18 and Chapter 19 of The Bed Keeper for more details)
1 Corinthians 6:9-12 condemns preachers whoring the church for money (and for keeping boys on the side) in part of a lengthy letter that begins in 1 Corinthians 5:1 and goes all the way through till 1 Corinthians 7:40, even as Paul ordains single gender matrimony in the very same letter in 1 Corinthians 7:8-9 (See Chapter 2 and Chapter 19 of The Bed Keeper for more details)
Other various chapters of The Bed Keeper are geared toward helping LGBT people understand Christian principles such as the New Covenant (Chapter 5), Keeping the Sabbath and Understanding the Significance of Pentecost (Chapter 6), Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Chapter 7), Bearing Fruit for God (Chapter 8), FAITH (Chapter 9), Creation and Evolution (Chapter 11 and Chapter 12) the Significance of the Rainbow Flag and God's Rainbow Covenant (Chapter 13), the Destruction of Sodom (Chapter 14 and Chapter 15), and understanding the difference between homosexual expressions committed by heterosexual men, and being homosexual, and the importance of keeping the marriage bed (even a gay marriage bed) undefiled (Chapter 19).
It has been my intent to not only reveal the message from God's Word to the churches regarding LGBT people being affirmed in every church and bringing their offerings to God's altar in order for Jesus to return, but also to train up LGBT believers in the very basic principles of the faith as I have learned from Pastor Joel and Victoria Osteen, Brother Kenneth and Sister Gloria Copeland, Pastors George and Terri Pearsons, Sister Billye Brim, Joyce Meyer, as well as many others in the Charismatic move of God. I pray you will especially lift these leaders up in prayer as they take those first brave steps into the future of the Body of Christ.
I also wanted to help you understand my motivation. I do not see myself becoming a preacher. I think my time is better spent staying at home, staying in the Word, praying, and simply sharing my findings as the Holy Spirit continues to lead me through Scripture. I believe I am called to teach, not preach. I am at a point where I believe the message is mature enough to be iron clad (Scripturally speaking) and I know in my spirit there is much more that will "hook up" to it as I move forward. My hope for now is that you can simply begin helping the church get prayed up, and that I can hopefully be assigned a contact within your ministry that provides a conduit from me to you without having to go public with everything just to get the Church's attention, or without having to disturb your own anointing every time I get something new.
I know that I can't be in all places and all churches at one time. I am not able to do a lot of travel or speaking engagements or book signings, although I am willing to make myself available for occasional person-to-person visits here in Houston to discuss various points, if absolutely necessary. Hopefully most questions, comments and concerns can be addressed via email, where nobody can interrupt each other, and a written train of thought can be assembled and referred back to for all to consider as time moves on and the message continues to "gel."
I am open to correction, and alternate interpretations of the findings I've shared herein, and hope to (if nothing else) at least catch any serious doctrinal errors PRIOR to publishing. But in 7 years of study and sharing aspects of this message with other pastors and lay people in online venues, I have yet to come across any that either don't ignore certain passages of Scripture, or contradict others. Many have proven that it's easy to simply disagree with the message. None thus far have been able to provide Scripturally sound alternate interpretations. Perhaps you can put your best in-house theologians on this and begin a respectful dialogue between as many parties as are necessary in an online private venue, such as an intranet or private message board, where people can contribute as time permits, and encourage your pray-ers to keep these revelations and this new move of God mentioned in their prayers. I don't really know how God is going to reveal this message to the masses. I only can share how I prefer He does so, and what I am willing to do to make it happen in a way that keeps it (to a large extent) "private church business" until such time all parties are comfortable with rolling it out to pastors' conferences, and eventually the world wide Christian church.
One can put 1,000 to flight, 2 can put 10,000 to flight….and we NEED thousands of pastors sharing the message at about the same time, in order to foil Satan's plot to keep these findings shrouded in misguided fear and homophobia to prevent the fulfillment of Isaiah 55:11-56:12, and prevent the return of Jesus Christ for as long as he can. Overcoming the enemy's plots against these revelations is of utmost importance, and as a partner of Prayer Mountain, I hope you share their mission to "pray in the plans of God, and to thwart the plans of the enemy against them."
This isn't just another book about how the church is wrong, or what Scriptures LGBT people can feel free to ignore. No, this is a forensic look at Scripture AS IS, as we allow it to help us all come to a more nuanced and detailed understanding of the insights, ideas and concepts contained therein as pertains to the return of Jesus Christ, and the role LGBT people play in that Great Day. What I have found time and again is that the church has indeed not been "inaccurate" about many of Her traditional teachings on the subject, but she has been "incomplete," and has suffered from a lack of specificity (and honestly from the lack of perspective from serious students of God's Word, who just happen to be gay as well). As I always tell my LGBT friends:
It's not about "THE GAY!" It's about "THE DAY!"
If there is anything I can do to help you reach an affirmative decision, or anything I can unite with you in prayer over, please feel free to contact me via Twitter @TheBedKeeper, or through email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I pray the material you are about to explore will prove to be a blessing to you personally as a member of the Body of Christ, but also as a ministry to a world full of lost, hurting, and rejected people. LGBT people have a God ordained place in the Body of Christ. Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit have all confirmed it is so. But tradition has set the Word of God aside, deprived it of authority, and made the Word of God inoperable…at least until now.
Then those who feared the Lord talked often one to another; and the Lord listened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who reverenced and worshipfully feared the Lord and who thought on His name.
And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
Then shall you return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who does not serve Him. Malachi 3:16-18
The writing of the "Book of Remembrance" has begun, Pastor, and I just know by the Spirit that JSMI will be included in it! The only question is when. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make sure it's sooner, rather than later!
God bless you, Pastor! I hope to hear from you or a contact in your ministry soon!
God loves you! I love you! And remember: JESUS IS LORD!

Author, The Bed Keeper
PS: I encourage Church leaders and ministers to read this manuscript in reverse order, beginning with the last chapter first (Chapter 21). It will provide incentive to continue studying, take readers back through to undo the traditional understandings of the subject, and end up where LGBT people are as defined by Scripture. For LGBT people, I encourage them to read it in the order in which it appears, beginning with our birth, and moving forward to the culmination of the Church Age as Jesus Christ cracks open the sky and catches away the Church!
See ya there!
PPS: The easiest way to get started exploring may be to review Frequently Asked Questions which addresses the most common traditional teachings regarding the issue of homosexuality, with convenient links that take you directly to the pertinent chapters of The Bed Keeper for complete and Scripture based responses.

(NewsUSA) - If it wasn't for chiropractic care, basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman might not be the household name she is today.
In 1991, six years before she'd go on to make a splash in the inaugural season of the WNBA, a car accident threatened to end Lieberman's career.
"I was driving in Dallas, driving down 75 and Mockingbird Lane, and there was some road traffic or something,"she recalls. "All the cars in front of me came to a stop, but the driver behind me didn't."
The whiplash she sustained severely affected the former Olympic silver medalist.
Lieberman tried all the conventional treatments: medicine, therapy, even massages, but nothing worked.
"Nothing was happening. I finally went to a chiropractor and it was amazing the immediate improvement."
In fact, she credits her chiropractor for not only her recovery, but for her overall health to this day.
"I could not achieve good health until I finally went to a chiropractor -- and the rest is history. For more than a decade, my chiropractor has allowed me to feel great and continue my career as a mom, businesswoman and athlete."
For Nancy Lieberman, chiropractic care was literally a slam-dunk. For more information, visit yes2chiropractic.org.

Deck the Halls without the Grime
Taking down the holiday decorations is a task we all seem to want to complete as quickly as possible. The upside is that it gets done now. The downside is that, once that the holidays roll around again, we�re faced with unpacking dirty, dusty decorations.
Here are some tips for refreshing those decorations that have been hibernating for many months.
Artificial trees, wreaths and garlands will need some �fluffing� after long months of storage. But they may also be repositories for an accumulation of dust and dirt, which leaves them looking dull and dingy. Many people use artificial trees to avoid the allergens of a real tree. It�s a healthy idea but, if you fail to keep these decorations clean, you�re simply exchanging one allergy/asthma trigger (mold spores) for another (dust).
To clean an artificial tree:
Wrap a large sheet around the base, spreading it out so it extends under the branches.
Always follow the tree manufacturer�s instructions. If safe, gently vacuum the branches. Depending on how much suction your tree can handle, use a regular vacuum with the fabric upholstery/bristle brush attachment or a small hand-held vacuum. Hold the vacuum an inch or so away from the branches, being careful not to suck any of the �needles� into the vacuum.
Another option is to take the tree to an outdoor area and brush it gently with a whisk broom so the dust disperses into the air.
As you clean, start from the top of the tree and work your way down to the lower branches.
If the tree still looks dingy, you may be able to damp-wipe it down. Fill a bucket with warm water and a squirt of liquid hand dishwashing detergent. Dip a dishtowel or an old T-shirt into the water and wring it out very well. Then very gently wipe down the tree branches.
Be aware that many artificial trees aren�t designed to withstand much cleaning. You may have to decide between a dust-and-dirt free tree and one that lasts for several more years.
The best way to clean a dusty artificial garland is to take it outside and shake it vigorously. If it is very dusty and you are sensitive to allergens, you may want to wear a dust mask.
Artificial wreaths are generally more fragile than trees or garlands. Use a soft feather duster or a hairdryer set on �cool� to gently remove any dust.
Glass ornaments can be cleaned using a soft feather duster very gently.
So you don�t find yourself in the same boat next year, develop a storage system. As you take your decorations down, clean them and store them in closed bins, boxes or plastic bags that are clearly marked. While specialized storage containers may seem like an extravagance, they are designed to keep treasured decorations safe from dust, mold and breakage year after year. If you particularly like the way you�ve decorated an area this year, take a picture and pack the photo away with the appropriate decorations as a reminder.

I was captivated! Ondine is a complex, complicated person with an undeniable passion for exposing falsehood and laying bare that which is shrouded by the veneer of civilization. Her story is epic in scope as, during her travels, whether she is rambling through the streets of Paris or flying off to remote Romania, she encounters others fighting as fiercely against such foes as abject poverty and soul-rotting disease. Touching on many current-day hot-button issues including illegal immigration, health care, and elitist entitlement, this story swept me along with Ondine as she lives each day of her life. It is an often disturbing but triumphant declaration of the invincibility of the human spirit. Read the full review

Since they already absorb energy from the sun and transform it, trees seem like a natural fit for solar-cell technology, which does ostensibly the same thing. Now, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have come up with a way to use a natural material in trees to develop solar cells that pave the way for recyclable, sustainable, and renewable solar-cell technology.
To be clear, the part of the cell developed by Georgia Tech College of Engineering Professor Bernard Kippelen and his team that absorbs sunlight and transforms it into electricity is a chemical -- specifically, one derived from petroleum chemistry.
However, they have created the substrate of the cell, or its thickest part, with cellulose nano-crystal (CNC), which is derived from trees. Typically, this part of solar cells -- a thousand times thicker than the reactive material that does the energy conversion -- is fabricated on glass or plastic, neither of which is easily recyclable or eco-friendly.
CNC, on the other hand, is a natural material, and thus both of these things, Kippelen told Design News. "By replacing the substrate with natural materials, the solar cells can easily be recycled and separated into their components by immersing them in water," he said. "That ease of recycling can make this technology greener than conventional photovoltaic technologies." The yield of producing cellulose nanocrystals from dry wood is about 20 percent, he told us.
Kippelen learned of the possibility to create cell substrates with cellulose nanocrystals in early 2011 at an event organized by the Institute of Paper Science and Technology:
Learning that transparent substrates could be fabricated from biomass like wood was very intriguing since our main research deals with flexible and printed organic electronic devices. We study devices like light-emitting diodes and solar cells. Both type of devices are generally deposited on top of a transparent substrate.
Before fully embarking on his current research, he studied ardently about nanocellulose research, and met with fellow researchers from Purdue University, R.J. Moon and Jeff Youngblood, with whom he eventually collaborated on the technology.
Researchers are now working to increase the power conversion efficiency of the cells, which is currently 2.7 percent -- uncommonly high for cells with substrates derived from renewable raw materials, they said.
Kippelen and his team aim to optimize the optical properties of the cell's electrode to improve the power-conversion efficiency of the cells to more than 10 percent, a level similar to cells fabricated with glass or plastic based substrates. They also have filed a provision technology patent for the technology with the US Patent Office.
Since the technology is in its nascent stages, it remains to be seen if and when the cells will make it into the commercial market. "At this time, we have validated the concept, and suggested a new path forward for greener renewable energy, but much research remains to be done before they can be manufactured and mass produced," Kippelen said.

In a recent episode of "Saturday Night Live," a 37-year-old show that feels fresher than it has in ages, host Louis CK slipped into an Abraham Lincoln costume and combed New York City bars in a heartfelt attempt to make some black friends.
If only the rest of television were willing to follow suit.
It was mostly a terrific year for the small screen thanks to the cheekiness of "Downton Abbey," the audacity of "Girls" and the loneliness of "Mad Men." But all those brilliant works have one thing in common: a disturbing lack of minorities both behind and in front of the camera.
Assembling a list of the top 10 most interesting TV figures in 2012, I was both shocked and crushed that I couldn't justify including any people of color. Sofia Vergara is a hoot on "Modern Family" and Mindy Kaling has had her mischievous moments on "The Mindy Project," but groundbreaking? Not so much.
Let's hope that next year's roundup is as impressive in diversity as it is in quality.
And now, the class of 2012:
Candy Crowley, "State of the Union" (CNN): Viewers unfamiliar with this veteran journalist may have been impressed by how deftly she handled President Obama and Mitt Romney in the third presidential debate. But her steely performance came as no surprise to regular viewers of her Sunday-morning talk show. She takes her job seriously while never acting like the smartest person in the room, even though she probably is.
Lena Dunham, "Girls" (HBO): No, "Girls" didn't crack my top 10 list. In fact, I found spending time with these bratty, self-deluded characters as harrowing as club night with the cast of "Jersey Shore." But mad props to creator and star Dunham for daring to expose her generation as one in need of some grown-up values -- as well as a sound spanking.
Vince Gilligan, "Breaking Bad" (AMC): Tired of hearing the praises for this four-year-old series? Prepare to be bored all over again. Gilligan's diabolical plan to introduce a wholly sympathetic character (Bryan Cranston) and slowly transform him into evil incarnate comes to a close next summer, but not before stunning us with another batch of mind-blowing episodes. It's one of the cruelest and most masterful magic tricks in TV history.
Robert Greenblatt, NBC entertainment chairman: In a perfect world, the former Showtime chief would have brought his gritty cable sensibilities to his new gig at TV's most dysfunctional network and made it classy again. But Greenblatt doesn't live in a perfect world; he lives in Hollywood, where ratings matter. Instead of developing Emmy bait, he extended "The Voice," reined in Matthew Perry and took only the slightest of gambles by betting on "Smash." Great TV? Nah, but NBC won November sweeps for the first time in more than a decade, the comeback story of the year.
Louis CK, "Louie" (FX): Many comedians suffer from depression, but few have mined a funk with such creativity and cleverness. Somehow he manages to play TV's most sympathetic sad sack while juggling directing, writing, producing and editing duties. The show peaked this fall with the character's futile attempt to replace David Letterman, a story arc that managed to tap the comic genius of director David Lynch, convince Jerry Seinfeld to explore his dark side and, most astonishingly, make you feel sorry for Jay Leno. Here's hoping the show's success gives the comic a reason to cheer up -- but not too much.
Jared Harris, "Mad Men" (AMC): Watching "Mad Men" usually makes me feel like I'm near the end of a five-martini lunch. You get a nice buzz, but you also feel a little bit sleepy. Harris' performance as the doomed Lane Pryce certainly stirred things up, offering viewers a man slowly sinking into a spiral of shame. Richard Harris famously never won an Oscar or an Emmy. Let's hope the awards gods don't make the same mistake with his son.
Lenny Pickett, "Saturday Night Live" (NBC): I'm not sure who's most responsible for "SNL's" great musical moments this year, but let's go ahead and give credit to the underappreciated Pickett, who has served as the show's musical director since 2000. From Mick Jagger's touching farewell serenade to Kristen Wiig to Martin Short's star-studded ode to holiday hormones earlier this month, Pickett & Co. have hit all the right notes.
Aaron Sorkin, "The Newsroom" (HBO): The man with the golden touch, not to mention an Oscar for "The Social Network," is primed for a letdown, but this dramedy shouldn't be it. Yes, the series could be cloying and even ridiculous at times, but more often than not, Sorkin's dialogue rang out with romantic overtones and optimistic fervor. Realistic? No way. Rousing? You bet.
Tim Van Patten, "Boardwalk Empire" (HBO): In the late 1970s, Van Patten's TV legacy consisted of playing a guy named Salami on "The White Shadow." Today, he's heralded by film historian David Thomson as possibly the most important director of his generation. Hear that, Spielberg? Van Patten helmed the handsomely shot "Boardwalk Empire" four times in 2012. He's also put his mark on "The Sopranos," "Rome," "Deadwood" and "The Wire." Not bad for a guy with a mediocre jump shot.
The women of "Happy Endings" (ABC): Next time Jerry Lewis flaps his gums about women not being funny, Sandra Bernhardt must reprise her role from "The King of Comedy," tie the misguided comedian to a chair and force him to watch the energetic trio of Casey Wilson, Eliza Coupe and Elisha Cuthbert steal this anything-goes sitcom from their wimpier male counterparts.

Sorry, but there are no longer any current events.......
A Brief History of Our Collection of PhotographyThe Museum's distinguished collection of photography—which you support as a member of Focus—makes Philadelphia an internationally renowned center for the study and appreciation of this art form. The year 1949 marked the start of our active collecting in this area, with sixty-nine works by Alfred Stieglitz accessioned from the artist's own collection. Over the decades, the collection has grown dramatically and now includes work by Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Frederick Evans, Robert Frank, Gilbert & George, Cindy Sherman, Minor White, and many other artists. In 2001, the Museum acquired a magnificent and virtually unknown cache of 2,500 photographs amassed by collector and gallerist Julien Levy. More than 130 artists are represented, among them Eugène Atget, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Joseph Cornell, Man Ray, Lee Miller, and László Moholy-Nagy. Another cornerstone of the collection is the print archive of American photographer and filmmaker Paul Strand. With nearly 4,000 works of art by Strand, we have become the world's largest and most comprehensive repository of his oeuvre. Focus members have the unparalleled opportunity to make a meaningful impact on our collection every year by voting on which work of art will be acquired next. We hope you will join us in shaping the future of photography at the Museum.

Post subject: Agathocles - Fascination of Mutilation flexi
Does anyone have any information about this release? I received 5 copies of this item today from the guy who used to run Buttface records. The flexis are red, and do not have a cover, but there is a cover shown at the entry at Metal Archives, so I assume it's supposed to have one. Does anyone have this release with a cover? Is it xeroxed or printed? If it is xeroxed, is someone able to make some copies I can enclose with these coverless copies? Of course I do not intend to sell them off as original copies with new covers if they are in fact xeroxed. I'm keeping a copy for myself and plan on selling the other 4 at normal 7" prices ($5 plus postage). Does anyone have any other information about this release? Please don't ask to buy a copy yet - I'll announce when I'm selling them, and if there is enough interest here, I'll sell them exclusively to people on this forum. If I can't find covers I'll give them away as freebies with other orders.

I used to have this but gave it to a friend who's Agathocles collector. I'm sure it has a sleeve but can't remember if it's xeroxed or printed. Normally I see that friend later this week so I'll ask him.

From the pics it definitely looks xeroxed. If someone can copy the covers and insert(s) that would be greatly appreciated. Get in touch at
if you can help out. I'll pay for the costs of the copies/postage or trade for something in return.

On the matter of the AGATHOCLES 'Fascination Of Mutilation' flexi-disc several of you have been talking about.
HI - I'm the guy that financed it. BUTTFACE, Alan, The Aussie etc etc. Whilst I can't recall who I sent these long out of stock items to in 2007, I can tell you that they are not bootlegs. When I moved to the USA from Australia in 1990, I met up with the guy from Rigid Records in Tampa. He needed $ for the project as he had already told my friend Jan (vox) that the project was under way (which it wasn't).
As I was going to return to USA in the same year 1990 after a short visit back in Australia, and had been good friends with Jan since the demo days, I went ahead and offered to finance.
The only thing connecting Rigid Records to the release is the logo on the disc and the cover and that he knew where to press it (Eva-Tone in Clearwater).
The release had a cover, but it was a high-quality copied cover, not a direct photocopy as in a post office copier. Rather a better quality one costing just a little more (they make the black blacker and not grainy grey). The cover is actually a photo from a book I got at the Adelaide Medical School library's section on autopsies (which was mailed to Jan several years before the 1989 gig from which the sound recording was taken).
This release also contained a folded, double sided lyric sheet. Done in exactly the same way as the cover, with lyrics on one side and a small mini poster of an under-age Christina Applegate (from her spot on the pre-Married With Children night time drama 'Heart Of The City') on the other.
Several higher circulation magazines were paid $ by me for advertising, as an example Maximum Rock 'n' Roll, but a few weeks after publication the orders started dwindling and I couldn't understand why. Back then AGx were one of the hottest items, one of the fastest sellers (as well as musically). My eye was on the future. As Digby Pearson was in Tampa watching Nocturnus record their debut, we discussed the release which he thought a good choice for quick turn around and ultimately a debut CD for the 'label'.
The CD was to be an official Carcass live in Brazil, seeing as though we had endorsement from the band. I though that a good business choice.
BUT as the orders dwindled and I became busier with my other projects I wasn't at the family home of the Rigid Records proprietor as much. One particular day I came to get some stuff and found a huge box filled with opened mail in his closet (as well as a lot of my personal vinyls etc NOT in his closet any more). Every one of them an order, or a question about an unfulfilled order.
You name it, one guy paying for one copy, another guy paying for 100 copies to stuff in his fanzine orders. The fucker had screwed me and the fans.
So good old Vernon Blake (Rigid Records) stumbles into his parents home, where he is still living at 30 something then, high as hell on coke and asking what I was doing. HA. So all those AGx fans paid for his fuckin 8 balls on my reputation!
That's the story of 1990's release.
What does 2009 hold you ask, does anyone even care?
Well, as Jan has always been my pal, I naturally took all the records I could find which I had paid for the production of anyway, and have carried with me all across the USA for the last almost 20 years. Without covers, just the discs.
We've recently made contact again in Nov 08, and he will be getting the last 60 remaining units in the new year (except this time there will be a template for the covers/lyrics which he will copy). I am pretty sure though before he gets them I will re-do the covers obliterating any reference to Rigid Records. Possibly even defacing the logo printed on the disc)
It'd be a shame if someone threw their money at that fucker for anything again.
The item will be available once Jan has possession of them from the long running official AGx mailing address.
Why don't I sell them myself here? Well I think Jan is owed them personally, that's why I kept them all these years and didn't just throw them in the trash. Why ruin a good run of not making a single dime on this record, and put a few dollars in Jan's and let those who really want the record have a chance to get it properly from him? And in Australia I probably couldn't sell a unit anyway, I think they are all into some idiot called FLORIDA here or something anyway hehehe.
THanks for the chance to write this big gassy answer to the questions. And to the fella that posted under 'guest' about this issue, sorry I can't recall who you are, but you can contact me if you want to.

OH yeah, I also forgot to mention that the restocked flexi 'should' also contain a copy of the 1989 interview from Buttface # 2 as a little bonus history.

Talk about making each guest feel special. The quality of each bag was amazing. The best party favor ever. You must head on over to her shop, like right now!

She creates fondant toppers to match any party theme and is a total rockstar. Her customer service is also fabulous and she is oh so sweet.

The kids and adults loved these little spoons, which were oh so fun and very affordable. Stamped with a purple "happy birthday" to match our party colors.
My Two Sweets Boutique: I can't thank DeeDee enough for making Charli P's tutu, bow and coordinating t-shirt, the crocs bow and AND the polka dot table runner. WOW, is this lady talented. I told her I wanted an ombre purple tutu and items to match the party theme. She not only came through, but blew me away.

The Vision 450 is a modern innovative sailing vessel that caters for the cruising fraternity and bare boat charter market. It unique and distinctive lines follows many of the same concepts and styling that the highly successful Silhouette 760 is well known for. Due to its high volume hulls and unique coach roof and decks styling the interior is exceptionally spacious and well appointed. The comfort provided and ergonomics of the entire yacht were carefully studied to give the whole family a pleasant experience and environment to enjoy.
The clean uncluttered decks makes entertaining, sun tanning or storage of water toys possible. The wide transom makes boarding the yacht from a tender easy, or a great place on which to kit up for scuba diving, or simply for kids to play. Throughout the yacht the head room is generous (saloon 6 8 and cabins 6 5). The on board storage is enviable, and even items such a SCUBA tanks and guest suitcases, cockpit cushions that are often over looked are well catered for.
Upon entering the yacht one is immediately becomes conscious of the apparent spaciousness and high head room throughout. Circulating between the generous cockpit, saloon and galley is free & easy. The large saloon windows provide one with a 360 degree view of the surroundings. The recessed vertical forward facing windows give the saloon good sun shielding and add to the feeling of spaciousness. All cabins are large and comfortable with en-suite bath rooms and separate shower cubicles. For noise privacy none of the cabins butt onto one another.
Two standard layouts are available. One version has four cabins and the other three, being the owners version. In both the cabins are spacious with large en suite bath rooms with separate showers. The master cabin in the owners version also has a settee and office desk. The engines are accessed from outside the yacht to reduce odors, noise and inconvenience
For safety and performance the Vision 450 is built from sandwich construction using the latest modern construction techniques and generation materials. For added safety the yacht has sacrificial keels. The wide hulls give the yacht good stability and load carrying capacity. Great importance has been given to make it possible for the yacht to be sailed shorthanded.
Because the Matrix Yachts builds to mega yacht standards it makes the Vision 450 one of the classiest yachts available in her size range.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Blackhawks rookie Brandon Saad thought that he had a good regular season.
Then again, Saad thought that a lot of rookies around the NHL had a good regular season.
On Monday, Saad learned that the NHL considered him as one of the top three newcomers in 2013. The Hawks' 20-year-old forward was named as a finalist for the Calder Memorial Trophy, which is given to the league's best rookie.
Joining Saad as finalists were Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher and Florida Panthers center Justin Huberdeau. The winner will be named during the Stanley Cup Final series.
"It's a big honor," Saad said. "But it's the same approach as before."
That approach helped Saad to emerge as a talented scorer alongside star-caliber teammates such as Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa. In 46 regular-season games, Saad scored 27 points (10 G, 17 A), which tied for fourth on the team.
Eight players in Hawks franchise history have won the Calder Memorial Trophy, including Kane (2007-08), Ed Belfour (1990-91) and Steve Larmer (1982-83).
Kane said he was pulling for Saad to join the club.
"I'm happy for him," Kane said. "He had a great year, and he deserves it."

OTTAWA – An RCMP officer and his wife at the centre of an Ottawa child abuse investigation are to be back in court next week.
The couple, who cannot be identified, made separate court appearances Friday, and both were remanded in custody.
They face multiple assault and sex-related counts after being arrested earlier in the week at an Ottawa home.
With his head lowered and his hands clutching a sheaf of papers, the accused man said nothing as he stood in court Friday morning flanked by Ottawa police officers.
Tears appeared to well in his eyes as he occasionally glanced up at the judge.
The court reaffirmed a sweeping publication ban on the matter and the accused was ordered to have no contact with a list of people, whose names were not disclosed.
The man's wife appeared later by video conference. Wearing a grey sweatshirt, she was barely audible as she repeated her name to the court.
To protect the identity of the alleged victims, the names of the couple were not released.
Peter Azziz, lawyer for the accused man, said he believed the victims were in the care of the Children's Aid Society, although that could not be confirmed.
Azziz otherwise refused to comment on the case, citing the publication ban.
Police say the 41-year-old officer and 34-year-old wife are charged with several counts of aggravated assault, assault with weapon, aggravated sexual assault, forcible confinement and failing to provide the necessaries of life.
They won't say exactly how many children are involved, but say the case involves more than one alleged victim.
A police source says the investigation was launched after an 11-year-old child was discovered wandering in a residential neighbourhood.
And the source says it's believed handcuffs were used to keep the child in the basement of a house for months.
The couple were both scheduled to be in court Feb. 19, although it wasn't clear whether they would appear together.
The accused man has been on administrative leave from his job with the RCMP since May 2011, although a source with the RCMP said the man had not been to work for months prior to that.
He was suspended with pay Feb. 13, and the Mounties said they have launched an internal code of conduct investigation.
