How to Choose The Right Nikon Dslr That Fits Your youth Redskins jerseys Needs
DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex camera. If you are currently using a point and shoot digital camera the DSLR is far superior as for a speed and quality of the shot. The most popular Nikons DSLR's include the D40, D60, D80, the http://www.2012redskinsforsale.com new D90, and the D200. The four camera's offer different features and you can easily find the perfect fit.
If you are coming straight from a point Cheap Redskins Jerseys and shoot and want something that is faster, haves bigger sensors, you can change lenses and perform much better overall. If it is your first DSLR I highly recommend the D40 or the D40x. The D40 is smaller than most DSLR's but stills gives you the high-resolution image quality made possible by the Nikon high-performance 6.1 megapixel DX-format CCD imaging sensor. This was my first DSLR and the quality and speed difference from the basic point and shoot was remarkable. The D40 also offers the easiest controls and features for the beginners. The speed of the D40 is 2.5 frames per second, for a beginner you will be able to catch your kids or grandkids playing sports without missing any shots. The retail for the D40 is 499.99 and this includes the 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6G lens. A perfect beginner's lens. The newer d40x is basically the same camera but is equipped with a 10.2-MP DX-format CCD sensor.
If you have previously owned a DSLR or you have the D40 and are looking to upgrade you have 3 options, the D60, D80, and the new D90. You have to realize when you upgrade the size and cost of the DSLR is going to increase. The D60 is smaller than the d80 and Washington Redskins Jerseys d90 and has the 10 megapixel sensor. This cameral also shoots a little faster than the d40 at 3.0 frames per second. The biggest difference between the D60 and D80 is that the D80 has an internal autofocus motor and the D60 doesn't. The D60 is limited to AF-S and AF-I lenses that have their own internal motor. This means if you own an older 55mm Nikon SLR the lens that you have will work on the D80. With the newer d90 out you can find the D80 heavily discounted, this is why I personally purchased the D80. The D80 also offers more professional options for the avid amateur photographer. The D90 is a newer version of the D80 but offers the first DSLR movie mode (720p HDTV quality) and HDMI output. The D90 has a 12.9 megapixel sensor. The D90 supposedly produces d300 quality output at up to ISO 6400 and offers some of the same functions the higher priced D200 and D300 offers.
If you have already owned a DSLR or want a pro level camera than the D200 is the camera for you. The D200 offers a 10.2 megapixel sensor and a leading image processing for exceptional color performance. It is also more durable with a magnesium alloy body than the d40, D60, D80, and the D90. It also is custom Redskins jerseys significantly faster than the lower models at 5.0 frames per second. The D200 also offers a more pro level menu for you to either grow into your camera or to take your pro level to the next level.

The Art of Counterpoint, Part Four
Of course, as I have previously shown, dissonance is available in strict 1:1 counterpoint (Where repeated notes are excluded, unlike Zarlino's freer interpretation of it) as long as both voices enter and exit the dissonance by stepwise contrary motion. More than one dissonance in succession can appear in this context, in fact. Then, the dissonance of the diminished fifth or augmented fourth can also appear as part of a succession of unequal fifths or fourths in strict 1:1 ratio counterpoint. This is lightyears beyond Zarlino's conception, and no doubt he would object to these ideas; ideas which would seem radical in the extreme to him. But nonetheless, these concepts are based - as objectively as possible - upon the mechanics of counterpoint to the exclusion of any other consideration. Then, of course, there is the special instance of syncopated 1:1 ratio counterpoint where syncopation chains can introduce dissinance in rhythmically embellished series' of parallel thirds or sixths. This Zarlino was familiar with, so it's at least a tiny bit surprising to me that he was apparently unable or unwilling to make the rest of the intellectual leap. But, I'm probably expecting too much.
Some of the rules based on taste that Zarlino presents go beyond forbidding dissonance in 1:1 ratio counterpoint, however. The idea that both voices should not leap in the same direction by different intervals into a perfect consonance, for instance. For a few years at the beginning of my counterpoint studies I took this as a rule carved in granite. Then of course, somewhere along the line, I discovered the so-called "horn fifths" that violated this "rule". This was one of the seminal moments that forced me to question everything I had been taught about counterpoint. If they were OK for horns, then they must simply be OK, I reasoned. That was circa twenty-seven years ago, and here I am today distilling contrapuntal mechanics down to it's bare essence; or trying to in any event.
One of the reasons for Zarlino's nebulous definition of 1:1 counterpoint is the quaint mechanical ineffeciency of the melodies he has to deal with. Based as they are on Church chants, repeated notes abound in these text-based melodies: There would have simply been no way for Zarlino to come up with the pure idea of a strict 1:1 ratio countrapuntal environment where repeated notes would be excluded. And, this pure 1:1 ratio concept is absolutely essential for distilling the principles we are after here.
As previously mentioned, the rules of counterpoint began to be polluted by harmonic considerations as soon as the ancients discovered the 6/4 sonority and objected to it's less than perfectly stable nature based purely upon subjective evaluation related solely to their personal tastes, or the mores of their times. Objectively speaking, there is no reason to discriminate against a 6/4 sonority according to the mechanics of counterpoint. In fact, the relative instability of the 6/4 arrangement is a feature which can be used as a resource to good effect, as a moment's pause to consider should make evident. By Zarlino's time, a nascent harmonic sense had begun to emerge, and many of the taste-based rules he presents are based upon harmonic considerations. In my next asside, I will explain why this is a very large and largely unrecognized problem that both obfuscates the teaching of counterpoint, and prevents the true understanding of the dynamics of harmonic progression.

|ACK. My website has been down for 2 days now. I am SO irritated with the server. I guess that means I'll be spending hours uploading to the www.artbyshano.com site . . .

MusicRow has released its 2019 Publisher Issue, with Carrie Underwood gracing the cover.
Underwood emerged from the promise of her 2005 American Idol win to become a true multi-format, multi-media superstar, spanning achievements in music, television, and film. A seven-time Grammy Award winner, she has sold 64 million records worldwide and recorded 26 No. 1 singles, 13 of which she co-wrote. Underwood is currently nominated for three CMA Awards, including the coveted Entertainer of the Year honor, as well as Album of the Year (Cry Pretty) and Female Vocalist of the Year. Underwood will host the upcoming CMA Awards on Nov. 13 in Nashville, along with guest hosts Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton.
Last fall, she released the Gold-certified studio album Cry Pretty, her first on Capitol Records Nashville, marking the first time she has co-produced her own album. The title track and lead single, co-produced and co-written by Underwood, topped the iTunes Top Songs charts in 12 countries. The second leg of her Cry Pretty Tour 360 launched in San Diego, California in September, and has included stops at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena and Los Angeles' Staples Center. The tour will wrap Oct. 31 in Detroit, Michigan.
In 2018, she released the hit event anthem she co-wrote, "The Champion" featuring Ludacris, which opened NBC's Super Bowl LII. The song was also incorporated into the network's coverage of the 2018 Olympic Winter Games and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. Also in 2018, Underwood celebrated her 10th anniversary as a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry. This year, Underwood returns for her seventh season as the voice of primetime television's No. 1 program, NBC's Sunday Night Football.
The 2019 Publisher print issue includes the 2019 Publisher Directory and features interviews with new UMPG Nashville President/CEO Troy Tomlinson, Spirit Music Nashville CEO Frank Rogers, and SESAC Holding's President and Chief Operating Officer Kelli Turner.
John Ozier discusses his new role and vision as head of Reservoir Media Management's Nashville office, while Warner Chappell Music Nashville President/CEO Ben Vaughn, Specialist insurer Beazley's Focus Group Leader Angela Weaver, and Anderson Benson Partner Brent Daughrity discuss protection against copyright infringement. This issue also details the challenges and opportunities song pluggers face, as told by Janine Appleton-Ebach, Creative Nation's Shaina Botwin, Sea Gayle's Kim Wiggins, and Downtown Music Nashville's Natalie Osborne. Concord Music executive and Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) Board member Evelyn Paglinawan offers an update on the MLC's work to ensure songwriters are compensated fairly for their creative works.
This issue also highlights the work and careers of some of Nashville's most impactful tunesmiths, including Relative Music Group's HARDY, StudioBeast/BMG's Claude Kelly, BMG's Hillary Lindsey, Sony/ATV's Lindsay Rimes, and Big Machine Music's Laura Veltz.
Single copies of MusicRow's Publisher Issue are available for purchase at musicrow.com for $45, and are included with yearly memberships.

Which is what we propose right up until eventually you get started obtaining a excellent pace and then you can permit go and commence off on the lookout at other monkey points although your the movie will get downloaded.
Next of all, we endorse to decide on two movement images you are keen of observing at the moment and begin downloading them equally of those at the comparable time.

Four Kornerz!
Since I'm still logged in, might as well bring the grand total of blog posts for today to three and you know what they say….good things come in threes!
Well I first found out about this AMAZING neo-soul, UK gospel group at a Festival Of Life, NXGN, before they shut it down due to the violence , 😦
They sang Gonna make it and a More than conquerors and some other songs. All I remeber is after hearing them , I was hooked! I believe there album was the 1st album I actually purchased. The album is titled "Soulectric" and it came out in 2007 (how time flys)
Its been a good 3/4 years (if not more) since I purchased the album , and its still as new (to me) as when I first heard them!
They have a unique jazz, soul type of sound, its difficult to describe. I dont think its everyday you find four brothers who can all sing and harmonise pretty well with each AND play instruments (guys and instruments!).
My favourite tracks on this album are…. More than conquerors, cry no more, soul flower and turn it up. Well all the songs are my favourite, these are just my favourite favourites!
Great song for just before bed!
Rating: 9 out of 10 , theres nothing else I can say about it that I havent already
So, if you were looking for a gospel album to buy , buy this one!
I'm actually done for today now, LOL
Goodnight, xx
Sexism In Church!
Happy Sunday everyone, and Mothers Day too!
another short randomie
I was in church today, during the praise and worship, then it dawned on me…….. how come the instrumentalists are always (well mostly) guys? Can't women play instruments? And how come all (or most) of the choir members and worship leaders and soloists are always women? I know for a fact there are plenty of guys who sing in church, and very well too. This isn't just in my church here, thinking about it, most, if not all the churches I've attended in the last
10 years , actually all my life have this structure going on. The most ironic thing being I saw more of an even spread of both sexes doing each thing in church in Nigeria while on holiday.
The conclusion is men are scared to sing and women are scared to play instruments!

Review: Why Did I Get Married?
I'm back! With a rather random post!
The post is a review/discussion/vent on and about the film. I guess its not really a review, because its an old film (2007) and everyones seen it already.I've watched it on more than one occasion and I guess this is my chance to vent about some of the characters in the infamous film.
Just in case anyone hasn't seen it, LOL, heres a short description from The Internet about the film
"Dr. Patricia Agnew, a psychologist, has written a best seller about marriage: hers and those of three other couples who together take a week's vacation each year to ask themselves, "Why did I get married?" It's time for one of those weeks, and all four relationships are strained: Patricia and her husband Gavin have the shadow of grief between them; Terry believes that Diane has abandoned him for her work; Angela, who's built a successful business, belittles her husband Marcus, who works for her; Mike is cruel to Sheila, his religious, overweight wife. During the week, each person's secret comes out. Will these marriages survive?
Whenever I watch it, some of characters actually get me mad! Thank God its only a film, LOL
Well, on to the cast
from Left To Right
1st Couple – Tyler Perry and Sharon Leal AKA Terry and Diane
2nd Couple – Janet Jackson and Malik Yoba AKA Patricia and Gavin
3rd Couple – Jill Scott and Richard T. Scott AKA Sheila and Mike
Lady In Brown – Denise Boutte AKA Trina
4th Couple – Tasha Smith and Michael J.White AKA Angela and Marcus
Okay, thats all the introductions out of the way. Throughout the course of the film , I think there are lots of interesting things we can learn about the couples.
1st Couple – Terry and Diane , are a professional couple, both have well paying jobs and have a daughter (Kenya). Diane is a lawyer and Terry is a Doctor of some sort. My guess here is that Diane is getting paid more money than Terry , and she must be in her own or another world to not notice the massive problem in her marriage. Diane neglects husband and doesnt want to have any more kids , due to career and gets tubes tied doesnt tell husband #Shock!! (You can't do that!). The lesson I feel you learn from this couple is summarised in this line from Terry
"Diane , when you get married you give up the I's for us , OK? You dont make those kind of decisions without talking to me!"
Things must be bad because Terry gets DNA test on daughter and doesn't tell wife #hmm, all these secrets.
2nd Couple – Patricia and Gavin. Well this couple had a little son, who passed away on account of a mistake made by Patricia about buckling her son into the baby seat. Throughout the film, I think its obvious they still love each other but they haven't dealt with their grief. This marriage does eventually break up (why did I get married too) and I think Patricia is to blame, 😦 .
3rd Couple – Sheila and Mike. Mike gets me soo mad! Just outright disrespect for his wife. Sheila invites her "so called" best friend along to the couples retreat not knowing she's sleeping with her own husband. In the end Sheila and Mike get divorced and Sheila remarries,(that's a theological discussion for another day). Theres a couple of thing however, that Mike does that are unforgivable, the main one being when Sheila, Trina and Mike are on the plane and someone basically complains about Sheilas weight to the flight attendants (embarassing) Instead of her "so called" husband to defend, he agrees and tells her to drive, tut tut. Lessons here , the "80/20" rule, summarised nicely below:
4th Couple – Marcus and Angela. There's nothing to be said about the couple except these people are BOTH very crazy and must really love each other to still be together, lesson to be learnt, never ever be or marry someone with that level of craziness!
Well that's the review, I'd rate this film a 5.5/6 out of 10 , because it is a good educative film with lots of highs and lows, and lots of laughs, but I can't justify giving it a higher rating if I compare it to some other films I've seen before. If you haven't watched it, now you have a reason to!
Something rather funny I found while doing a little research on the cast members, I came across a picture of Walter, the man that Angela cheated on her husband with and caught an STI from which she then gave to her husband.
LOL, Angela why did you do it?
Enjoy your day, xxxx
The 2nd Edition!
hey hey, Here I am again! After all the reviews I got on the 1st Edition of the love story, I've been hard at work with the 2nd edition. Now it is faaar from finished, but it has made some interesting developments. It is becoming a full fledged story, *exhales deeply*. When I sat in front of my laptop today to start working, I realised the mammoth task I had taken on. I was trying, through my story, to convey how Jesus felt. I felt overwhelmed, and I almost backed out. "God, I can't do this". Well I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, (Y). So I've been typing, deleting, retyping and researching for the 2nd ed. Its alot longer than last time, there are a few new parts and some other parts I haven't touched, but for today, I'm tired man! LOL. After 4 hours or more of sitting and typing (with conditioner in my hair, LOL #natural hair) I think I should continue another day. Again I want all your HONEST and CRITICAL reviews as you read (be nice). Only God knows where this story is headed but I'm privledged to bring it to you. So here it is (drum roll), The Love Story, the 2nd Edition! xxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Love Story – 2nd Edition [All Rights Reserved]
(All bible quotations are given in italics and come from with either the Message or The New King James Translations of the Bible)
Blood. Everywhere. In my hair, dripping down my face, gushing from my back, everywhere. The pain was intense. So intense I could have just given up and died. I wanted to, I really did, but I couldn't, not yet. Why? Because of the aura. The whip on my back was torture. The metal balls that were attached to the whip tenderised my flesh, bruising me, as if a piece of meat, while the hooks and broken bones ripped my flesh as they left my skin. The roman soldiers had stripped me and tied me to an upright post, so they could scourge me very well. The morning sun had begun to increase in its heat, as the day neared afternoon. This however did not deter the audience that had gathered. The soldiers revisited my wounds with more lashings of the whip. Two of them whipped me, reopening the already deep wounds, causing blood to gush from my back, even pulling my flesh away from body, causing it to hang off me. Tears streamed down my face, whether from the shame of being stripped naked in front of the audience or the agony I was subject to, I could not tell. As the intensity of the whips increased, the flow of my tears could not being stemmed.
In my agony, I looked to the heavens, remembering a time, aeons past, when I was home, seated, next to my father, in a place so beautiful. So beautiful it could not be comprehended. A place that was never spoken into being, it had always been, just as my father and I. His face was distraught, something that didn't happen often. "Father, what's wrong?" I asked, wondering if I could help. Then I focused on what he was looking at, he was looking towards the earth, a new planet we had created. The homosapiens we had formed from the soil were talking to someone, or something. But they were not talking to each other; they were talking to the serpent, that old serpent, the devil, Lucifer. Well Eve was talking and Adam wasn't, that was the problem. The serpent, such a complicated creature. He had been a heavenly being once upon a time not too long ago.
"Glory! Honour! Be unto the King who sits on the throne, both now and forever more! Amen!" The hosts of Heaven bowed and worshipped, with melodious harmonies that encircled the throne and filled the heavens. Father simply smiled. As the heavenly congregation worshipped, they basked in the Glory of God, the warmth of his love, and the awesomeness of his presence. The melodious harmonies were orchestrated by the Son of the morning, Lucifer. Life here was beautiful. There was never night and darkness was unheard of. The heavens were filled with all manner of heavenly beings. Cherubim angels, Seraphim angels and Archangels were numbered among the heavenly hosts. There were three archangels; Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer. They were so similar but so different. Michael was our warrior archangel; Gabriel was our messenger angel while Lucifer was the Son of the morning, who took care of the beautiful music in the heavenly realms. As the morning time of worship came to a close, we looked upon the heavenly hosts, and blessed them. Nothing came to close to the feeling of being appreciated by the beings you had created with your own hands. "Thank you for spending this time with me to worship me o hosts of heaven. You are all free to continue with your duties and pursuits of the day. our grace overshadows you, our love encompasses you and our mercy is ever present for you, may your free will always choose us, the only lover of your soul".
The three archangels left the throne room walked together through the heavenly gardens. The weather was beautiful, with just enough sunlight to warm the ground the angels walked on and just enough breeze to keep them cool, just perfect. "Lucifer, you look especially handsome this morning" Gabriel gushed. "Thanks, I do don't I" Lucifer replied, smiling. "What did you think of the worship this morning?" Lucifer asked while studying himself. "It was amazing!" Gabriel replied. "Father seemed especially pleased with the arrangement of the songs this morning". "Of course he would be pleased; I wrote all those songs myself you know". Gabriel seemed awed, while Michael rolled his eyes. Michael was rather a serious angel, and paid little attention to the dialogue. "Why the long face, Warrior of heaven?" Lucifer enquired, still studying himself. "I don't know what you're talking about". Michael's face suddenly lit up. Lucifer and Gabriel looked at each other knowingly; Michael wasn't one to hide his emotions. "Guess what I heard, when I was on my way to the throne room this morning? Father has decided to create a new race". "Oh really?" Lucifer and Gabriel both seemed genuinely interested. "Yes, the exciting thing is that he is going to make them in his own image, imagine that!". Gabriel seemed excited at this; Lucifer's reaction however was not quite the same. "In his image you say, why would Father do that?" Michael continued on, not noticing Lucifer's demeanour "I don't really know too many details, but from what I heard, God is creating them because he wants to, he wants to fellowship with them, how amazing right?". Gabriel nodded his agreement vehemently. Lucifer didn't agree. "Why would he create beings to worship him, aren't we all good enough for him, am I not good enough for him?" Gabriel and Micheal looked at Lucifer, shocked at his response. "Why do you talk like this Son of the morning? Our father is all knowing, all seeing and all powerful, he is free to do as he pleases. Aren't you happy there will now be more of us to worship the I am?" Micheal asked. "Happy? I feel betrayed actually. Creatures in his likeness to worship him? How insulting" he snarled. "What other creature's worship can compare to the worship I give to him? I the son of the morning, the most beautiful Archangel, the father himself calls me "the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty" ". "I can't believe this! As long as I'm around, this can't happen! You both just wait and see". Lucifer stormed off while Gabriel and Michael called after him with no avail.
I looked on in horror as the serpent fed Eve the lies that eased off his tongue. "Do I understand that God told you not to eat from any tree in the garden?" my heart sank, and as the Alpha and Omega, my father, I and our holy spirit knew what would happen as this conversation continued. "Not at all, we can eat from the trees in the garden. It's only about the tree in the middle of the garden that God said, 'don't eat from it; don't even touch it or you'll die.'" It was as if my heart could not sink any further. We had never ever once told Eve she could not touch the tree, only not to eat the fruit from it. "You won't die. God knows that the moment you eat from that tree, you'll see what's really going on. You'll be just like God, knowing everything, ranging all the way from good to evil." Why wasn't Adam saying anything, he just looked on, as if in a trance.
Worship continued in heaven as normal. However, everything this morning was far from normal. The worship the son of the morning rendered was merely lip service. He spoke and sang things he heart disagreed with. It was not as if the Father and I didn't know what was happening, we chose to say nothing. As the worship of that morning came to a close, the father and I prayed over the hosts of heaven as normal. We also announced that we had some important news to share. We had decided to unveil our new creations. The heavenly host gathered for the important news later on that afternoon. "Thank you for gracing us with your attendance loved ones. If you look out into the Galaxies, just some distance below us, you will notice a new planet". Everybody ooed and ahhed at the planet. "Its beautiful father" Micheal commented. "What is it called?" was the question on everybody's lips. We had Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and several other planets. "Earth", that was the name we had chosen. The applause from the hosts signalled their agreement at our choice. "You all here are our privileged audience this afternoon; today we will form the first man". The applause seemed louder, but it not everyone here seemed happy too hear this. Father reached down, and picked up some soil from the ground of earth. The angels looked at each other, wondered what the father was trying to do. The father took the soil, and began to shape it. It became as clay in his hands. He shaped it, paying attention to every little detail. Once he finished, he laid him down, and everybody came to look on the creation called man. The angels were enthralled. "Father, he just looks like you, yet he looks different!" Father smiled. "Is he asleep?" the questions of the angels filtered around in the heavens. Father picked him up again, staring at his creation. He took a deep breath in and breathed out into the man. The man's chest started to rise and fall in a rhythmic fashion. Colour started to appear on his face, though his eyes remained close. He looked asleep. His eyes began to flutter and opened slowly. The applause at this point was deafening. Lucifer and a large group of the angels however had stepped away from the marvelling throng and began to leave the throne room, with mixed emotions of anger, sadness, and even disgust. The father continued to look upon the man, whose eyes were now fully open. God looked upon him, smiling "Your name will be Adam, for you are made in my image, and formed you from the soil". "Thank you father" Adam replied. The heavenly host look on, amazed as Adam fellowshipped with the Father. The father then picked him up and placed him on the planet earth, and sat back, happy, content. Lucifer looked over at Adam, and jealously welled up inside him. He stormed off and the separated group of angels followed after.
Days had past since the creation of Adam. I sensed unrest in the Father. As we watched Adam in the Garden, as he played with animals it was if the area around him glowed. It was his hue of innocence, his aura. Adam had become a very dutiful workman, tending to the earth. Adam seemed to enjoy life on earth and he loved the time we all spent together. But at times, it seemed he was lonely. Being the Omniscient God that the father, he wanted Adam to be happy, all the time. So God formed from the dirt of the ground all the animals of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them. Whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. Adam did a great job with the animals but he didn't find a suitable companion. Father had an interesting idea. He breathed on the man , and Adam fell into a deep sleep.
Then Eve looked at the tree, the tree of good and evil, the tree of choice. As she looked at it, there was a change in her; she looked at it through the eyes of deceit, which Lucifer had given to her. She reached up, and picked the fruit. Adam still said nothing. Eve looked at the fruit, and then greedily bit into it. With the juices still running down her face she offered some to Adam, who also took a bite. And then it happened. As if by magic, their aura, their hue of innocence disappeared, instantly. I looked on in despair as they realised their nakedness and made futile attempts to cover themselves.
I looked upon the face of my father, the great I Am, and I saw hurt in his eyes, like nothing I'd seen before. It was as if he had lost a friend. In a split second, we were in the garden, the beautiful young Eden. Father called out to Adam, "where are you?" Father called out, but he knew where they were. "I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked. And I hid" was Adams reply. ''Who told you you were naked? My heart bled as I thought of Adam and Eve. Our unique creations, made in our image, formed in our likeness. Could we again have the fellowship we shared in Eden? And their aura, the glow? What would happen I dreaded. My mind raced through several ideas, in desperation to save them.
Father, was so full of love, and his love made him a just judge. If a crime was committed, the human mind would expect a judge to judge the criminal guilty. Why? Because that was what he was, guilty. Father God was and still is the most just judge, and Adam and Eve had stepped out the beautiful innocence and taken themselves and all their offspring that would ever come into the earth into a defiled state of being guilty. And the judgement of sin was a scary one, a most terrifying one, Death,, Eternal separation from God.
''Did you eat from that tree I told you not to eat from?" Father's voice brought me back to the here and now. "The Woman you gave me as a companion, she gave me fruit from the tree, and, yes, I ate it." Father looked at the one who he created, his 1st daughter, "What is this that you've done?", the pain that resonated from his voice was heart shattering. My heart raced through possibilities, anything to save my beautiful ones, anything. "The serpent seduced me," she said, "and I ate." Father God was going to give everyone a just punishment and he started with Lucifer, the son of morning "Because you've done this, you're cursed, cursed beyond all cattle and wild animals, Cursed to slink on your belly and eat dirt all your life" my mind still raced , then an idea came to me. I couldn't bear to lose my children, the beautiful ones to Lucifer; I would do anything, anything at all. Even if I could give myself for the death required of them, I would, whatever it took. Father and our holy spirit looked at me, as they thought about my idea. "I'm declaring war between you and the Woman, between your offspring and hers. He'll wound your head, you'll wound his heel". I was the woman's offspring that Father God talked about. That meant that he had agreed. I was to become a man, and was to be born of a woman. And I would have to die. I glimpsed the future. What a horrible death awaited me. I was willing to die, just to save my beautiful ones, and all the other beautiful ones to come.
Another lash of the torturous whip brought me back to now. The death I had glimpsed so many aeons ago was but a few more steps away. This roman soldiers who whipped me, he whipped me with an almost demonic passion, I groaned in pain. Hate was ugly. Little did he know that he was another of my created ones, just like Adam was, and his aura was missing as well. "That's enough!", I heard a voice scream behind me. "put his clothes back on for him and lets gets this crucifixion started!". They both jeered as the solider, my own one, roughly forced my clothes over my head. The clothes grated against the fresh open wounds on my back, I cried out in pain. My heart was heavy, but this heaviness was not my own. It was Father Lord and the Holy Spirit observing me in my pitiful state. We as a triune being knew this was necessary, to save them. They both continued to watch me. My whole body ached; I struggled to move, after being tied up for so long. Three soldiers brought the cross, my altar of sacrifice towards me. A pungent smell came off of it as it got closer to me. The smell was a mix of sweat, urine, excretory materials, and blood. The soldiers must have used this cross in crucifying several others before me. The smell made me want to hurl. It was simply criminal. The soldiers placed the cross on my back and I buckled under its weight. The soldiers gladly helped me up. This was one death they were all excited to see, they would get to see the man, who claimed be God humiliated and then die the most shameful of deaths. The soldiers led me and I tried so hard to follow, I took a few steps, which were simply torturous. I took another step and buckled again. The cross slammed across my back, I screamed out in agony. It was so hard, every physical part of my body ached and I was exhausted. The high council had questioned me all night, in a bid to find something, anything to sentence me to death for.
"What can we kill this man for?" one priest asked. "He's a blasphemer! We can kill him for that, I'm sure". Caiaphas the chief priest agreed, "yes, we all know that lying carpenter is a blasphemer, but we need concrete evidence to sentence him to death, otherwise people will call us wicked". The high priests and the members of the Jewish councils all nodded vehemently, in full agreement. "I'll send one of my house helps to pay someone who will pretend to be a witness". The helper was gone for hours, and came back, fruitless. "Please sir, several people agreed but no one had a concrete story" Caiaphas was livid. Caiaphas and the other high priests, and the Jewish council members looked on at Me. A mix of anger, hate and pride all radiated from their eyes. Caiaphas looked me right in the eye, "how dare you, a mere man, not even a handsome man at that, call yourself God?" I simply said nothing. "Answer me!!". Just as Caiaphas stood up to confront me, two men walked into his courtyard. "And who are you?" he asked. "We are here to witness against him". I continued to look on, not saying anything. "We heard him say he would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days". Caiaphas looked happy, extremely. He look back at me and asked "Well, aren't you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for yourself?", still I said nothing. "I demand in the name of the living God—tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God". How ironic, he knew about my father, he had heard about him, read about him, talked about him, but he didn't know him personally, because if he did he would know about me. "You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God's right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven". That was the final straw for him and I knew it. He was absolutely livid. He tore at his clothes. "Blasphemy! Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard his blasphemy, what is your verdict?" I looked at him, I already knew my verdict. I knew it long before he was even a thought in his mother and fathers mind, talk less of being in his mother's womb, but still I said nothing. "Guilty! He deserves to die!" was the verdict the crowd gave on my behalf. Some of them spat at him, and some even punched me with their fists and mocked me. My heart, one with the Father's and the Holy Sprit's asked for forgiveness on their behalf, because they didn't know what they where doing.
On the hard gravel floor, I lay, with the cross on my back, tormenting my fresh wounds, in the agonising sun, simply unable to stand. It must have been noon by now. "Stand up!" I heard someone say. I tried, o how I tried. When the soldiers saw I just couldn't stand up, they grabbed a man from the crowd, a Cyrene to carry it for me. I looked into his eyes, it was Simon, and he was another of my created ones. Love welled up in my heart as I look upon Simon, another who had lost his aura. Simon picked up the cross on his own back, and the soldiers pulled me up.
I walked very slowly, every step more agonising than the last. As I walked next to Simon the roar of the crowd that followed us was almost deafening. The journey was not much longer now. Simon looked at me. I could see the weight and the discomfort of the cross on his back. I reached out and touched him "I love you Simon, thank you for carrying my cross". Simon smiled and we continued to walk. Soon we reached Golgotha, the place of the skull. It had this name because it looked like a skull. Simon put down the cross, and stepped back.

By Lonnie Wilkey
Editor, Baptist and Reflector
Long before I joined the staff of the Baptist and Reflector in 1988 I worked on the staff of the former Education Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, an entity that was disbanded in the mid-1990s as part of the restructuring of the convention.
While serving as director of communications for the Education Commission I had the privilege and opportunity to write for Baptist Press on occasion and work in the newsroom during the annual meeting.
It was then that I developed a love for Baptist state papers and a desire to serve on a state paper staff. During that time, I met a lot of editors, including Bob Terry, who in the mid-1980s was editor of the Word and Way newspaper in Missouri.
He was respected as a journalist not only in the convention but among secular journalists as well. Terry became editor of the Alabama paper (one of the largest Baptist state papers) in the mid-1990s,
After I transitioned to the B&R in 1988, I became better acquainted with him. I have to confess that I was in awe and a little intimidated by him at first. Bob Terry personifies the word "dignified." I personify "country comes to town."
When I became editor of the B&R in 1998, Bob took an interest in the "rookie" editor from Tennessee and befriended me. As the years passed, I was no longer in "awe" of him, but I never lost the profound respect I had for him, not only as an editor, but as a friend and fellow Christian.
A few years ago, when the Baptist and Reflector moved from a weekly publication to biweekly and was placed with the communications team, Chris Turner (director of communications for the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board) and I visited Bob in Birmingham to seek counsel. At the time, some Baptist papers were ceasing print publications or going to a monthly magazine format.
We asked Bob for his opinion and he was honest with us. He felt a biweekly paper could still be effective but he thought we would be sacrificing too much if we became a monthly or online only publication. He was right.
Because of his expertise and experience Bob helped Chris and me understand the need for both types of publications. I admit my bias here, but I believe the B&R is more effective today than it ever has been. We have found the "right mix" of print and online stories. Though our print circulation is not what I want it to be, we are still reaching a large number of Tennessee Baptists each week with print and online stories.
Bob could have been "too busy" to meet with us, but he loves state papers too much not to help when called upon. He has devoted his life to telling God's stories through the pages of Baptist papers and he wants to see that continue long after he is gone.
Terry is retiring at the end of December after 23 years as editor of The Alabama Baptist and 50 years of ministry with Baptist state papers. He is a true icon.
In addition to serving as editor in Alabama and Missouri, Terry served as executive director of the Fellowship of Baptist State Publications for 25 years, before stepping down from that role earlier this year. He was the "go to" guy for questions about the denomination, the post office and basically anything that pertained to Baptist state papers.
Bob Terry has been a friend to scores of Southern Baptist journalists for decades. I am blessed to be in that small fraternity of Baptist editors along with Bob Terry. I am more blessed to be able to call him "friend."
— Terry will continue to write under his new blog, nowconsiderthis.com.

This week I'm reading: Meg by Steve Alten
It Begins:
Late Cretaceous Period, 70 Million Years Ago
The Coast of Asiamerica-Northern Landmass (Pacific Ocean)
From the moment the early morning fog had begun to lift, they sensed they were being watched.
On Page 56:
As the helicopter approached the aft deck, Jonas immediately recognized the large reinforced-steel winch attached to the ship's transom which had been used to lower the twenty-five UNIS submersibles to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
I wanted to read this since it was the basis of the movie The Meg starring Jason Statham. It was a really good read and it is the first in a series. I don't know if I'll read more books but now I can't wait to watch the movie and compare the two.

SFTP ASCII Transfers Between RetroPie and Windows not working as expected
I am trying to edit some .sh files in windows and upload them to my RPI 3 running an SFTP host and it appears that the server is not translating CR/LF to just LF on its end.
I have tried using FileZilla as well as WinSCP and both are doing the same thing. Tried forcing it to be in ascii transfer mode and still the same result.
I would assume that the SSH host would know that it is in linux/unix mode but test results are revealing otherwise.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Did some forum searching and I havent found anything like this.
Actually, after further review, this appears to just be an issue with FileZilla. WinSCP does seem to work correctly. Which seems really odd since the conversion is not supposed to happen on the client end as far as I understand.
mitu Global Moderator last edited by mitu
@alturis SSH (SCP actually) does not translate the newlines, there is no ASCII mode (like in FTP), so if you're seeing this it's a client feature (FileZilla or WinSCP). Make sure the file has Unix (LF) line endings before transferring and you won't have any problems.
EDIT: I recommend using Notepad++ and choosing Unix newlines as default line endings.

Will use Notepad++ from now on. Resolved that head-ache for me. Thanks.

Bakersfield Roofing Contractors Serving Kern County Residents
Semper Solaris is Bakersfield's Roofing Company of Choice.
If you're looking for a roofing company serving Bakersfield, Fresno, Clovis, Modesto, Visalia, Hanford, Ridgecrest, Rosamond, Madera, Tehachapi, or anywhere in the Kern County area, you're in luck. We're an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor.
No, that isn't just a fancy title we like to throw around to attract customers. Owens Corning is one of the top roofing materials manufacturers in the world. Earning a Platinum Preferred Contractor title from them means they trust us to get the job done right – every, single time.
Does Your Bakersfield Home Need a New Roof?
If you are in the market for a new roof, some things you'll need to consider are:
Age of Your Roof:
If your roof was installed to manufacturer's specifications and maintained properly, your roof will have a 20 to 30-year lifespan. If the existing roof is in really poor shape, such as tabs being severely curled, granule loss, or bald areas, then complete tear-off and replacement should be considered.
Multiple layers:
If your roof has more than one layer of roofing, the roof should be torn off. In most cases, this is a code requirement; codes rarely permit more than two layers of roofing. Our expert team of roofers provides the highest-quality customer service, making your roof replacement project as easy as possible
If you have multiple leaks, in the same or different areas it is time to have your roof thoroughly evaluated. Leaks may also show up in the form of dry rot on the fascia, this is caused by water traveling under the roofing material and exiting at the fascia.
Bad Decking:
Spongy areas and sagging areas between the rafters or trusses are usually good indicators of damaged or deteriorated wood. If there is any suspicion of bad decking, a full tear off should be considered.

Sunscreen for hair
7 comments:
This is an interesting post. I did some research about sunscreen and hair, and some original reports said that it wouldn't do much because skin is different than hair --the articles say that sunblock would be good for protecting the scalp, but that it won't do much for hair. Having said that, they did say that for those with color treated hair, it does prevent fading/losing your color/brassinessReplyDelete
But, having said all that as well, they did say that sunblock will create a barrier to protect the hair than not having anything at all. They also said a conditioner would work as well as water.
Despite sunblock in my conditioner and putting my hair up, my ends will still change color and color will fade. Haven't found anything that's been perfect yet. :)
I read that the sun can be so damaging to your hair that is can cause breakage. I'm trying to protect my hair from that. Thanks for the post.ReplyDelete
interesting thoughts. I only put oil on my hair to protect it from salt water..ReplyDelete
love, louisa
I think there is no 1 perfect product that will protect hair from the sun---since hair is dead, a few articles I read said that a sunblock would not work in protecting it like skin. However, they went on to say it can't hurt to shield the hair from it's heat, so that even soaking it in water (this applies to swimmers too) would help protect hair than not using anything at all.ReplyDelete
Now that you mentioned it, I think I read that carrot oil (?) has a natural SPF of 4. But I don't know, despite studying up on this I keep wondering how much it really DOES. Like Darkhorse said, I'm fairly sure chemical sunscreens need skin to react. But then again, I keep coming back to the conclusion that any sunscreen, even a bad one is better than none, so it's nice to know what to look for…ReplyDeleteReplies
Igor--that's basically what I'm reading---that despite the fact sunscreen is designed for skin, people say that it's better to have some form of a barrier than nothing at all. However, they went on to say you could use a regular conditioner to coat hair, as well as oil, water, or whatever you might choose--that also was suggested to protect hair against salt water--using regular water before swimming in the sea or conditioner. Prevented drying out of hair shaft.Delete
I also think jojoba oil has an SPF of 3 or 4. :)ReplyDelete

Nicola was very lucky that her studies brought her to the Netherlands, Canada and Australia. After graduating in "International Media Management", she worked in advertising and fiction film productions in Berlin, always fantasizing about making her own films. She realised that her journeys around the world have very much affected her visual language, her perception of stories and the individuals behind them. Shortly after, she commenced her master at DocNomads, a mobile film school taking place in Portugal, Belgium and Hungary. During her studies she made many creative documentary short films, that were well perceived on International Film Festivals and art exhibitions.

Release Date: Oct 11, 2011
Record label: Thrill Jockey
Genre(s): Pop/Rock
Future Islands have been poised at the edge of something big for a while now. The Baltimore-based trio made serious waves with 2010's In Evening Air, a breakthrough album that brought a wide audience to the band's jittery, anthemic take on stripped-down electro-rock. That album largely found its power in vocalist Sam Herring's unreal range, with his ability to move from a low, Waits-ian growl to a surprisingly pretty tenor in the span of a single breath; in his howling, Herring brought an unabashed earnestness to barnburners like "Long Flight" and "Inch of Dust".
Future Islands are on the up-and-up. The unapologetic romanticism of last year's In Evening Air jettisoned the Baltimore cartoon-pop sensibilities of their earlier, uptempo synthpunk, and the newfound seriousness endeared the band to audiences, drew widespread critical acclaim — such as it was, in the independent music world — and propelled them to later festival slots more appropriate to the album's title. Now, on On the Water, they've paced themselves, slowed down the tempos, and left room for ambience, such that the album's fevered points hit much more poignantly.
Like the opening bassline of The George Baker Selection's "Little Green Bag" in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, it's refreshing when a record unravels with a calculated introduction—a one- to three- minute launching point that demands listeners' attention, while buying enough time to arouse skeptics' interest. When applied correctly, the strategy yields a skillfully placed window, easing listeners into the appropriate mindset to appreciate what lies ahead. With its eerie swells of rusty chimes and distant waves, the opening track of the new Future Islands LP, appropriately titled, On the Water, conjures images of an abandoned seaside home, rich in loneliness, but armed with dreams of summer.
For the Baltimore-based trio Future Islands, On the Water seems the perfect album title. Recordings of ocean waves crashing along the surf are both subtle and apparent, adding to an aquatically aural experience as vocalist Samuel T. Herring muses nostalgically about love and loss. Harmonic melodies and addictive hooks are indulgent of '80s Romantic textures.
When I hear Samuel Herring's voice I immediately think of the likes of Hayden Thorpe and Joanna Newsom; great vocalists who are both affected and affecting, but about whom people will still always say 'I just can't stand his/her voice'. Future Islands' Herring slots right into that rather small list, his affected vocal style a blend of nervous tics and low grade mock-aristocratic quivering a little like Isaac Brock meets Swiss Toni. It sounds like an unlikely means of conveying depth or beauty, yet as last year's In Evening Air amply demonstrated, Herring is more than capable of combining pathos with artifice.
I've never met a person who didn't find something compelling about looking backwards while riding in a car, a boat, or a train hurtling forward. There's something oddly comforting -- but also kind of sad -- about training your eyes on where you've been while you continue to move on with your life. And that's the same sort of conflicted sensation Future Islands' oceanophilic album On the Water yields.
Samuel T. Herring, lyricist and lion-throated singer of Baltimore synth-romantics Future Islands, has written a lot of break-up songs. He penned some pretty vitriolic ones on the band's 2008 debut, Wave Like Home, and then he wrote an entire record's worth on their terrific 2010 release, In Evening Air. About four songs into their latest-- which contains such boldfaced melodrama as "I loved you and I still do"-- you get the idea that this guy might be something of a Sisyphus, relieved at last of the whole boulder-up-the-hill business but doomed to sit on the receiving end of an "It's not you, it's me" conversation ad infinitum.
Around 2008, Future Islands moved from North Carolina to Baltimore; in some ways, this move heralded a new, more coherent incarnation of the band. Before this there had been Art Lord & The Self Portraits, then, in 2006, Future Islands was born, but there remained elements of flux until the release of 2008's Wave Like Home. The band's dreamy, atmospheric, synth-heavy pop debut signalled an exciting talent, and was compounded by last year's truly majestic In Evening Air, which was as musically hopeful as it was romantically heartbreaking.
Future Islands hold a special place in my heart. I listened to their previous album, In Evening Air, almost constantly during the Winter Olympics of 2010, which were a pretty big deal given my geographic location just south of Vancouver BC. It, like On The Water, isn't a particularly happy album, but still lends sense of calm and warmth. Their music fit perfectly with rainy, 2 AM drives back and forth across the border.
Future Islands' second album In Evening Air neatly sidesteps the clichéd sophomore slump via a quantum leap in sheer songwriting erudition and heightened band cohesiveness. The act's first Thrill Jockey album was more of a piece than their quasi art school project debut Wave Like Home, and On the Water continues this trend, raising the songwriting and production stakes, while retaining the sonic signatures so recognizable as Future Islands—singer Samuel Herring's theatrical, emotive belt; the braying synths and bass lines of William Cashion; and the metronomic drum machine patter that undergirds the entropic instrumental chaos. .
The sounds of a lonely dock, St Elizabeth, North Carolina. It's the sound of lapping saltwater and mooring cables knocking steadily against wet wood. Slowly, out of this peaceful conversation emerges Future Islands' On The Water, the story of a failed relationship, the ghost-ship it became, a shipwrecked soul, the mermaid he lost, and not least, a tiny cult band coming into their own, on a record about the dark waters of love's sunken past.
The compelling nature of music is an intriguing expansion. Baltimore-based Future Islands has always been about taking that expansion and invigorating it with an emotional carriage of embellishments. Last year's In Evening Air was a revelatory discovery for some, including yours truly and now, a mere year later, the band presents another expansion, On the Water.

Perhaps the Devil's greatest deception has been to fool mankind into thinking that he does not exist. Satanism and occult religions are flourishing today.
Satan refuses to repent, even after suffering 1,000 years of confinement. Upon his release, Satan expertly manipulates the pulls of carnal nature.
While Satan's binding for a thousand years is not his ultimate judgment, it will relieve humanity of a huge weight of spiritual oppression.
Satan was first named Helel, or 'son of the dawn.' When Jerome translated the Hebrew into Latin, he named him Lucifer, or light-bringer, a title of Christ!
The spirit in man is initially good, but capable of being influenced by the spirit of this world, and surcharged with Satan's negative attitudes.
Satan uses lies and disinformation to promote self-satisfaction over obedience to God. The way to the kingdom is through self-denial, even suffering unjustly.
To resist the Devil is to resist unlawful desires, not allowing him to manipulate our emotions. Satan works on fear of being denied something pleasurable.
The origins of our adversary, Satan the Devil, and his host of fallen angels or demons. God has promised us protection if we yield to and obey Him.
Satan uses disinformation, spread through false ministers/prophets, teaching smooth things that destroy. We must test the spirits to ensure a teaching is from God.
Throughout the course of Biblical history, whenever sin appears, confusion, division and separation are the automatic consequences.
On the Day of Atonement, the live goat bears the sins of the nation. Many think this represents Satan as the source of sin, yet Scripture reveals the truth.
While the church of God has long taught that the azazel goat of Leviticus 16 represents Satan, this traditional view has no biblical support.
The world's ways, ideas and attitudes naturally flow into the church over time. The question is, How well do we resist and/or reject them? Richard Ritenbaugh examines three areas that have crept into the modern church and wreaked havoc.
John Ritenbaugh, reflecting upon the architecture of banks and cathedrals, edifices designed to inspire trust and security because of their massive appearances, maintains that their very construction was intended to leave a deep psychological impact within. . .
Satan is the opponent of God, of believers, and of all that is right and good. He may appear as 'an angel of light', but this is only a façade.
John Ritenbaugh, reiterating that the entire world is under the sway of Satan the devil (I John 5:19, Revelation 12:9, Ephesians 2:1-3), warns us to analyze and evaluate everything that enters our minds from the contaminated, mendacious media sources, medi. . .
We are open to invisible communication from the spirit world—communication designed to conform us to the course of this world. Recognizing it is vital.
John Ritenbaugh, reiterating that some successful wars have been fought without weaponry, affirms that the most successful battles have been won by words, with the adversary (the prince of the power of the air) convincingly and deceptively persuading the e. . .
We must put on the full armor of God to stand against the demonic principalities, an army of 1/3 of the angels, bent on the destruction of God's elect.
John Ritenbaugh suggests that we need to look at "political correctness" as God looks at it, the culmination of 200 years of Satanic 'progressive,' humanistic, 'liberal' education. Political correctness has emerged as a deadly, hypnotic Satanic d. . .
John Ritenbaugh, reflecting that Satan's power of persuasion and deception has gone undetected throughout most of human history, largely because God has allowed Satan free access to those not yet called, and a hedge of protection around those whom He has c. . .
Satan works on us through our imagination; he broadcasts images to our minds. To counter this, we must resist him, practice humility and draw close to God.
Charles Whitaker, beginning with a potpourri of examples from lexicographers on the definition of the word mind, treating the concept as a verb, adjective, and noun, and mentioning that the King James translators render some twenty Hebrew words and eight G. . .
Though we inherit the proclivity to sin, neither it nor Satan makes us sin. We are responsible for our own sins and for the consequences—death.
Christians must continue to fight against self-centered and deception long after their calling to deepen and strengthen their relationships with God.
There really is a conspiracy to bring this world under one government. However, its real, 'behind the scenes' leaders are Satan and his demons.
As Moses had to veil his luminous face, so, metaphorically, the God of this age mercifully blinds carnal individual for now because light hurts their eyes.
The sin of pride underlies many of our other sins, and it is often the reason for the contentions we get into as brethren.
Mike Ford, describing a picture of a fox hiding in the middle of a group of bloodhounds, with the caption, "When in trouble, try to blend in," compares this picture to the results of a Barna poll stating that 59% of 'Christians' do not believe in Satan. Ho. . .
Though Satan influences, the choices an individual make are totally his own, even for those without God's Spirit. We sin when we are drawn away by our own desires.
The cat has been let out of the bag in terms of plans to establish a New World Order, possibly the precursor or foundation for the Beast of Revelation.
Help in following God comes from displacing the love for the world with the love for God, and setting our hearts on spiritual treasures instead of earthly ones.
John Ritenbaugh, reflecting upon the developments currently taking place in Europe and the United States, asserts that Satan's fingerprints are all over the emerging New World Order, an entity that was conceived around AD 1700. The size of this conspiracy . . .
The apostle John warns us to be vigilant about the world, not loving its attitudes, mindsets, and frame of mind. We cannot both love the world and love God.
In this keynote address of the 2009 Feast of Tabernacles, John Ritenbaugh, commenting upon the Steven Spielberg movie Munich (a movie depicting an event in which the Palestinians murdered Jewish athletes in 1972 at the Munich Olympic games), describes how . . .
John Ritenbaugh reiterates that Jesus was baptized, not because He had committed any sin, but in order to fulfill God's Commandments of righteousness. Baptism is used symbolically to represent one's total commitment. Perhaps if people knew what was require. . .
John Ritenbaugh, continuing on the subject why liberals love illegal aliens, insists that altruism is the farthest thing from the mind of liberals. They desire the votes of minorities and they want power over them, making them dependent so that the disgrun. . .
There are varieties of spirit, motivating people to 'go with the flow' and conform to a sheep-like mob psychology. Satan's spirit encourages sinfulness.
The prince of the power of the air is responsible for influencing the zeitgeist (dominant mindset of the time), pulling us away from God and His law.
True Christianity is no cakewalk into eternal life, but a life and death struggle against our flesh, the world, and a most formidable spirit adversary.
John Ritenbaugh, suggesting that conspiracy blogs seemingly focus on similar sets of culprits from banking, politics, and corporations, points out that none of these blogs have any awareness of Satan's oversight of these sinister worldwide conspiracies. Li. . .
Satan is an apostle of deterioration through gradualism. His invisibility makes it difficult to monitor his deadly deception. Satan has successfully transformed himself into an angel of light. We must remember that (1) angels were here on earth before we w. . .
God commands us to come out of Babylon, giving us spiritual resources to do so, including faith, vision, hope, and love. These come through knowing Him.
The drive toward one world government is a transparent reality having several biblical prototypes, all inspired by demonic opposition to God's rule.
In a secular sense, apostasy is abandoning one's political party, principles, or cause. Biblically, apostasy is rebellion against God or the abandonment of faith.
We must put on the entire armor of God, not just the defensive parts. We must proactively rather than reactively assume out part in the spiritual battle.
Because the world is under the sway of the wicked one, if mankind were left to its own choices, the world would revert to the condition before the Flood.
Like the cycles of the seasons, the events of prophecy follow natural progressions. God has given ample warnings to His prophets to prepare His people.
John Ritenbaugh, reflecting on the works of Martin Luther, suggested that the revered reformer was a crafty political leader and a proponent of situation ethics, suggesting that we owe nothing to God but faith, and it is not what we do, but what we believe. . .
Humanity finds itself inhabiting a world that is the place of restraint for untold numbers of malevolent spirits, all of whom hate God and desire to destroy mankind. John Ritenbaugh reiterates that our human nature reflects these spirits' attitudes, and th. . .
Anger and hostility, driven by self-centered competitive pride constitute Satan's spiritual mark that divides nations, ethnic groups, families, and the church.
God wants us to walk—live our lives—by faith, but our pride and vanity frequently get in the way. Critically, pride causes us to reject God and His Word.
John Ritenbaugh focuses upon Satan's great rebellion when he rallied one-third of the angels against the government of God. They were cast down to the earth, where they have since held a beachhead of operations, even though the venue has been downgraded fr. . .
Many think keeping Christmas is fine, yet God never tells us to celebrate His Son's birth. Celebrating such an obvious mix of paganism s presumptuous.
Real repentance and conviction of righteousness should dramatically augment prayer, study, meditation, but most importantly, how we live our lives.

Disclosure. I was provided a 17 foot multiposition ladder as well as an 8-13 foot aluminum extension plank for the purposes of this review. All opinions are my own.
A couple of months ago my father was over helping me do some tidying up in the back yard. He was up on an 8 foot step ladder on my deck. Then he decided that he would climb onto the roof to clean the gutters that way. We were on the deck and there is only one level to our house. So it worked, but it was still a bit of a chore.
I realized once again that I really needed a better ladder. In addition it would be helpful if I had a platform as well so I could use it productively while I was painting as well.
I was pleased when I got the chance to work with Werner to review this Multiposition ladder. It would definitely ease getting on the roof. It would also make it that much easier for me to trim a couple of large bushes I had in my yard as we prepped for winter.
The Ladder Easily Shifted Through It's Positions
I was actually surprised at how little effort it took to shift the ladder through it's various positions. In addition I was especially impressed with the scaffolding option which allowed me to use the ladder as a scaffold base (and the plank as the scaffolding plank). I was also pleased with the stair function as well. I am always finding it difficult trying to reach the high spots on stairs when I am painting the house. This will allow me to reach most of those spots with relative ease.
To make things even better, Werner has offered a ladder and aluminum plank set to one of my readers as well. Giveaway ends Nov 30th. Canada Only (no Quebec, sorry)

Jaguars move to 3-0 in District play with a big 42-22 win over Garner Hayfield - Ventura
Southeast Valley High School's varsity football team knew the rain was coming and wanted to get out on the field for a fast start coming up against the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura Cardinals in an away game Friday evening, October 5. And that's exactly what they did.
The first play of the game, Hunter Kruse delivered to Chase Swieter for a 31-yard reception. On the third play, Hunter Kruse connected with Chase Swieter for a 37-yard touchdown and took the early lead, 6 to 0.
The Jags defense forced a punt after three plays and then got the ball back. Six plays later, Hunter Kruse hooked up with Zack Graves for a 16-yard touchdown with Kyler Fisher running in the two-point conversion, increasing the lead for Southeast Valley 14 to 0. The Jaguars defense forced another 3 and punt and things were looking great for the Jags.
Five plays later the Jaguars fumbled and the whole momentum of the game changed. The Cardinals only needed 29 yards for them to score and on 4th and 10, they passed for a first then ran in a 2-yard touchdown and managed to make the two-point conversion. The score was then 14 to 8 and just like that, Garner-Hayfield-Ventura was back in the game.
Southeast Valley got the ball back and Kyler Fisher caught a quick 31-yard pass from Hunter Kruse, then connected with Mason Ackerson for a 24-yard pass, getting him to the 1-yard line. Kyler Fisher took the ball in. Hunter Kruse delivered to Nyles Johnson for the two-point conversion with the Jags still in the lead, 22 to 8.
The Cardinals kept fighting back with a 9-play drive but were forced to punt. The Jags punted after six plays. Six plays later JJ Graves got a great interception and then it was time to pound the ball. Kyler Fisher had two runs of 6 and 7 and Kenny Blunk had a nice 6-yard run. Kyler Fisher finished the drive with a 23-yard touchdown and the score was 28 to 8.
It began to rain at halftime and that made Southeast Valley very nervous because Garner-Hayfield-Ventura was a big, powerful team that are known to move the ball well under those conditions. Their opening drive consisted of 10 plays with them scoring. The score was then 28 to 14. The Jaguars punted after three plays. The Cardinals punted after three plays, then the Southeast Valley Jags punted after four plays.
The Cardinals ran their quarterback bootleg for a 65-yard touchdown making the score 28 to 22 going into the fourth quarter. The fans could feel the game again switching momentum and it was not looking good.
After both teams had stalled drives, it was time for the Jags to take over. Hunter Kruse hooked up with Nyles Johnson for a 14-yard pass and a 1st down. Kyler Fisher then popped off a 30-yard touchdown. Hunter Kruse hit Nyles Johnson for the two-point conversion and Southeast Valley was back feeling a little better with their lead of 36 to 22.
The Jags defense forced another punt.
Southeast Valley Jaguars started off with a big Nyles Johnson run of 13 and Kyler Fisher finished the night off with a 27-yard touchdown run to make the final score 42 to 22 and another victory for the Jags.
Admittedly, the Jags defense had their hands full stopping the third leading rusher in Class 2A, but were able to hold him to 119 yards on 32 carries, way below his average.
"This was another great win for the Jags," said Coach Mike Swieter. "We had a few more mistakes than we did the week before but the boys stepped up and did what they needed to do to win this game. The Jags are a little bit beat up and need a good week of practice and a good week of healing before they face Estherville next week."

Rocky, Not Your Average Great Pyrenees
By Kathleen Meyers
As dog breeds go, Great Pyrenees are one of the largest, and Rocky is no exception. He weighs in at 116 pounds, but his long, white, flyaway hair visually adds to his size and presence. He may be a seven-year old adult dog, but Rocky usually acts like a teenager, earning the descriptive nickname of "Goofball." He barks a lot and never seems to sleep. Rocky likes to steal food from the other animals and roams the Ranch doing his own thing. Guarding the livestock as he is supposed to do? Not our Rocky. He'd rather irritate the pig and pester the goats, often ending up with a head butt.
Kathryn Gress, his patient owner, and amused trainer says he's a "party animal," and probably has the canine equivalent of attention-deficit disorder. However, his guarding instinct does pop up (if somewhat strangely) in the evening as the Ranch is settling down for sleep. As soon as Ben Gress turns in for the night, Rocky takes over the watch. He'll pace around the house, barking furiously to scar off robbers, livestock thieves and other bad types. Sometimes it takes hours before Rocky is satisfied that he's saved the day.
Rocky came to the Gress Mountain Ranch from Kansas when he was just a few months old. He was rescued from a too-small apartment where he was overfed, under-exercised and rode like a horse by the children. It took months of dieting to correct the weight problem. It also took months of patient training and integration with the other Ranch animals to determine that Rocky was definitely not interested in guarding the livestock.
Rocky does, however, shine in his job as a therapy dog. Rocky likes people, especially children. He lets the kids groom him, climb all over him and he often pulls them around in a wagon. Kids who can't or won't talk and interact with other humans, talk and interact with Rocky. This dog is also a catalyst for positive behavior in adults, encouraging communication or diffusing arguments. During psychological counseling, Rocky helps clients relax and get the most out of their sessions.
Rocky may not be doing the typical job a Great Pyrenees does, but humans sure benefit and the livestock don't care.

Macy Gray Talks Black History Month, New Music & More
A private, star-studded event set in the Hollywood Hills around Oscar weekend was the perfect stage for R&B legend Macy Gray to perform some of her latest songs from her new album, Ruby. The invite-only ChefDance Dinner Series event at the C.E. Toberman Estate saw artists such as Bryan Callen, Joon Park, and Mimi Kim, converge for the celebratory and artistically enriching occasion.
Chef Luigi Fineo of Ocean Park's LUIGI al TEATRO provided the evening's cuisine in the form of jumbo lamb crab cakes and spicy tuna, amongst other delicacies. The ChefDance event was sponsored by Patron and Proud Source Water.
After releasing her 1999 global R&B hit "I Try", twenty years later Macy Gray is still creating stories through her soothing voice. One of our affiliates, NogossipLA recently caught up with Macy and asked her a few questions about her work:
NoGossipLA: What's the inspiration for your latest album, Ruby?
Macy Gray: I love the gem, ruby. I wanted a very classic and historic album and name of album. So Ruby it was.
NoGossipLA: Considering it's Black History Month, how does it feel knowing you are making history and opening doors for other African-American artists?
Macy Gray: I just hope I can make people continue to smile, and feel like they can reflect through my art. I hope I can contribute more artistically as a human and understand that I am authentic. Authenticity is key.
The authentic ChefDance events are providing artists in the LA community to meet, mingle and showcase great storytellers that are creating fresh and amazing work. We look forward to covering the next ChefDance event.
