My Eschatological Position: A Journal-Entry Style Essay
Max King made the following statement in his book, The Cross and the Parousia of Christ:
"We must put the battle of Armageddon back in its proper place in history, and then the gospel and Christianity will have power….Christianity will have much greater power and appeal in the world of humanity rather than being seen as propagating a hope of life that is antithetical to and therefore beyond life on earth. Christianity will be seen, accepted and appreciated as a fulfilled hope that brings everything associated with life on earth into proper perspective".
I would wholeheartedly agree with Max King and have seen the fruit of putting Armgeddon in its proper back in history. I hold to what is called "Covenant Eschatology" and would happily call myself a "Preterist" (so says the new tattoo on my arm: Preterist- Christ Has Come).
Utilizing the acronym of H.E.A.R.T.S. is what I believe is the best way to sum up my views and also helps to understand the "whole story" of Scripture. Hebrew Exclusivity is the understanding that God began a covenant with the Hebrew people, which I would trace back to Adam and Eve in the garden. Many people believe that Adam and Eve were the first and only people on the planet in the beginning of Genesis- this is someothing I have come to disagree with. Instead, I believe God "covenanted with" Adam and Eve and this was the beginning of the story of Israel. Eventually the "death" of "sin" was revealed by the Law (1 John 3:4; Romans 5:20) and Israel being in bondage to sin was in dire need of a Savior. Jesus Christ, came on behalf of the Jews (Romans 15:8) to fulfill the promises that were given to them (Romans chapter 9). I believe proper context of the need for a savior (Israel under Law) allows for a more comprehensive understanding of what Jesus Christ came to do- save His people- Israel. This was the Old Covenant which was passing away in the first century (Hebrews 8:13) and the "end of the age" would fully consumate the New Covenant.
Sadly, a lack of "Audience Relevance" has led many to develop a false view of Scripture and inserting themselves into the text. This is illustrated by the popular teaching of "futurism"- which hopes for a yet future return of Jesus Christ, a yet future resurrection of the dead (falsely putting the physically dead as those who were to be resurrected rather than the dead under the Law, as the context of the Bible is dealing with). Audience Relevance admonishes us to take into consideration the original audience to which things were said, things were written, and so on. For example let's look at Matthew 16:27-28:
"For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father which His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds. Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom".
Now, clearly Jesus is speaking to His disciples, as per verse 24, yet many will read this statement and believe that the "coming of the Lord" has not yet occured (what many erroneously refer to as the "Second Coming, as allusion to Hebrews 9:28). Audience Relevance demands that some of those standing their where alive when the coming of the Lord occured.
Time Statements are pretty much what sum up my "eschatological view". When the disciples came to Christ after he delivered a harsh judgment upon the religious leaders in Jerusalem (Matthew chapter 23-24), they asked him "When will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your coming, and the end of the age (Matthew 24:3). Jesus began to explain the things that they would see happen as precursor to the "coming of the Lord" to bring judgment upon Jerusalem (or "oikumuene"- the known world, which was from Jerusalem to Rome).
One would think that when Jesus said TWICE in Matthew chapters 23-24 that "this generation will not pass away until all things are fulfilled" would make it clear to us today that these events happened in history. Yet, sadly a failure to understand the seemingly "cataclysmic language" like "the sun being darkened", the stars falling from the sky, and surrounding of clouds as "apocalyptic language" and Hebrew idioms describing judgment (as the Old Testament clearly illustrates in Isaiah chapter 13, Isaiah chapter 34, Zephaniah chapter 1, Jeremiah chapter 4, and many other places – leads many to continue to look for these events in the future.
Author and scholar, J. Stuart Russel sums up the claims of the Preterist view quite well:
"…either the whole group of predictions, comprehending the destruction of Jerusalem, the coming of the Lord, the resurrection of the dead, and the rewarding of the faithful, did take place before the passing away of that generation, as predicted by Christ, taught by the Apostles, and expected by the whole church; or else, the hope of the church was a delusion, the teaching of the apostles an error, the predictions of Jesus a dream…".
In conclusion, my eschatological view allows for the Bible to be a clear and consistent "true truth" as Francis Schaeffer would have said it. The "end" that the Bible speaks about what the end of the Old Covenant age- which Jesus came to fulfill.
This view isn't exactly widely accepted in the Church today, which is clearly why many of the issues of confusion and the lack to give a true and reasonable expression of the gospel to the world, the "healing of the nations", has yet to be accomplished. R.C. Sproul Jr. said it like this:
"The sickness that is an epidemic in the evangelical church is the disease of dispensationalism, and more particularly dispensational eschatology. These doctrines not only twist and distort the Scripture but bring the Church to near paralysis. The harder we work to build Christ's kingdom, the more we delay it.
Thankfully, God in His great mercy has done a great work in waking up many people to their condition. The rapid spread of the doctrine of Preterism has been a welcome tonic".
ADDITIONAL NOTE: I preached about this topic from the pulpit yesterday, June 16, 2013 at The Blue Point Bible Church. Here is the podcast:

How to Use Dates as a Sweetener: Our Date Paste Recipe for Syrup, Smoothies & More
Cutting down your refined sugar intake can be a Herculean feat. Refined sugar is often added to most processed food products (including innocuous items like crackers and yogurt) and can be hard to dodge when it comes to restaurant meals, juices and sauces.
Luckily, you can keep a bit of sweetness in your life and reap some awesome health benefits by swapping in dates for sugars, syrups and ingredients ending in –ose (like dextrose and maltose). Dates are super versatile and mild in flavor, so they won't change the taste of your concoctions much more than adding a little sweetness.
As an added bonus, dates are high in fiber, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus. The fiber helps slow the uptake of sugar into your system, preventing blood sugar spikes, and the nutrients help the body recognize it's eating real food. Sweet and nourishing? They're win-win.
Here's how to sweeten things up a little while giving your body what it needs (and none of what it doesn't):
Sweeten coffee
A simple date paste recipe is a yummy addition to coffees and teas, including lattes and cappuccinos. Whip up a batch and store it in a glass jar to have it handy for your morning joe. Simply blend 8-9 soaked, pitted medjool dates, 1 ¼ cup water and 1 ½ tsp lemon juice until it's smooth. This will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Bake a little something-something
Dates make the perfect binder and sweetener for raw desserts: just blend them with nuts and seeds to form a solid crust for pies and tarts. You can also use the date syrup above in place of brown or white sugar, molasses, agave or other sweetener syrups in just about any recipe.
Forget agave and stevia: dates are a delicious way to sweeten a smoothie. Start with 1 and add another 1-2 to taste. If they're soaked before blending, the dates will melt into the mixture and leave nothing but a subtle sweet taste (no weird chewy bits, unless you want them).
Homemade nut milk
A couple of pitted dates can make neutral nut milk truly magical. Blend 2 cups soaked, drained cashews (or other nut of choice) in 3-3.5 cups of water and toss in a couple of dates towards the end. Strain as usual.
Salads and dressings
Add a burst of sweetness to a savory dish with a small handful of chopped dates. We love them in quinoa salad with a little olive oil, parsley and chickpeas. You can also make your own dressing using a date, your favorite oil, lemon juice and sumac (or other spices to taste).
Dip your fruit
Blend together 4 pitted dates, 1 tablespoon almond butter, a pinch of cinnamon and sea salt and a little water to thin. You'll have the most delicious, caramel-esque dip for green apples, pears and bananas.

Out of all the bands that submitted musical recordings, the Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) selected only three to perform at its annual conference in Athens, Georgia. Hightower Trail Middle School's Eighth Grade Symphonic Band was one of the three bands invited to perform for the music educators, who gathered from across the state.
Hightower Trail's Symphonic Band has performed at the annual GMEA event three times over the past decade. (Dickerson Middle School Percussion Ensemble demonstrated their musical skills at last year's GMEA conference.)
In addition to the Symphonic Band's recent success, the Hightower Trail Chamber Orchestra was also selected to compete in the 2018 American String Teacher's Association National Orchestra Festival in Atlanta.
However, the middle school students are not the only ones earning accolades. The National Band Association awarded Hightower Trail band directors Andrew Cole and Fred Norton the Citation of Excellence. This award signifies the two directors' outstanding contribution to bands and band music. Cole has served as Hightower Trail's band director for more than 20 years, and Norton has worked as assistant director at the school for over a decade.

As Michelle Moran points out in her book "Why Historical Fiction Belongs in Your Classroom," Promoting Active Citizenship (New York: Random House, Inc.), "Historical novels teach psychology, geography, history, and English literacy, all in one addictively entertaining package." In Moran's experience, it was the historical novels that made children repeatedly come to her with questions after class. By using historical novels, she so caught their interest that they became avid historians, and that's pretty hard to do with grade school or high school history!
Reading historical fiction, and complementing it with history books, not only allows the student to see the differences between history and fiction, but also gives rise to lively debates about politics, religion, morals, and power. Download our complete guide to teaching history with historical fiction.
Here are activities for using historical novels to teach history and language arts:

How to Get Followers on Instagram
We all want more followers on our Instagram accounts, but unfortunately, there isn't a particular magic formula that will allow you to get thousands of real engaging followers instantly. However, there are several ways that you can improve your visibility so that you're more likely to be found by your target audience.
Create a strategyHaving a clear strategy in place with any social media network is vital. Otherwise, you will be aimlessly wasting resources with no real return. Whether you are an Instagram veteran, or new to the social media platform, there are a few things you must consider. Firstly, you should analyze your competitors in your niche or industry. This will allow you to see what content is working well for them, or whether some content isn't working for them. You will be able to see how they engage with their audience, which will give you valuable pieces of information. If they don't engage at all, then it will be easier for you to stand out as a voice in your industry. If they do speak to their followers a lot, though, then you be able to see how it is converting for them. Seeing your competitors follow ratio is always a good indicator that it's a worthwhile niche on Instagram too. If the leading social media profiles only have 10,000 followers, then it could be a sign that you need to rethink how you apply your niche to Instagram. Lastly, you need to set goals. You will only be as effective as the goals that you set, but it's important that you choose realistic goals that align with your marketing and business strategy. Although gaining followers is primarily the first step, you need to think about how you intend to use these followers at a later date; whether that's driving traffic to your website, or just for brand awareness.
High-quality contentAlthough this may seem like a redundant point, it can't be reiterated enough. Simply put, the better your content is, the more chance you will have to snag more followers. Posting blurry or boring images will provide no real incentive for people to follow you. Unique content is also important; a classic example of this is to look at the bodybuilding niche on Instagram. While this is a popular niche, 9/10 accounts are pretty much just rotating the same viral images. To stick out, it's important that you bring something else to the table.
Choosing when to postChoosing what time of day you post your images can completely vary how much visibility they get, which will, of course, determine how many followers you gain because of it. If your niche or industry is primarily targeting 9-to-5 full-time workers, then it is very unlikely that they will be checking their phones between 9 and 11 AM. Although they may have a look during their lunch break. If you are trying to target stay-at-home parents then you may find that 9-11 AM is a prime time. The best and most effective way of choosing the time to post is by testing different times of day, by yourself. Spend a week only posting at roughly the same time every day and monitor their engagement, as well as any rise in followers. Then do the same the next week, but change the time of day massively. If you are completely unsure of where to start, it's been found that 8 PM PST is one of the best times to post as you will be able to target North American audiences, at the same time as targeting Asian and Australian audiences who may be on their way to work.
Post consistentlyThe best way to gain a lot of followers is to create a snowball effect with your content. What this means is, by always posting images that are engaging, you will not only gain new followers from your latest content, but you will keep gaining a trickle feed of followers from your previous content. If you only post once a month or less, you will not be able to take advantage of this at all. People have followed you for a reason, so they will be expecting to see content from you. That doesn't mean that you should be spamming their homepage feeds with tri-daily images, though, but is found that 75% of the top brands publish approximately once a week, at least.
Using hashtagsThe oldest trick in the book, but many people still don't realize their importance and complexity. By utilizing relevant hashtags, you will be able to help your post be seen by people that are likely not following you, but are in search of images related to your niche. What you want to do is to find hashtags that are not on the mainstream list, and are in fact specific to your industry. Analyzing what hashtags your competitors use is a good start. Later on, it's a good idea to invent your own hashtag, which will help to solidify your authority and community presence. It's important that you don't fall into the trap of using hashtags like #followme or #likeforlike. While these may give you a short burst of followers, they will not be your target audience, and they will likely unfollow you pretty quickly anyway. Having 1000 engaging followers is better than having 10,000 non-engaging ghosts.
Correct use of captionsInstagram is a highly visual platform, which means that text-based information is fairly limited, as well as not being the focal point. Well written captions can aid you in increasing your follower count by a large margin. An easy way to do this is to ask questions. This will encourage your initial audience to leave a comment or to tag a friend perhaps. This will make the image more visible to other people, due to Instagram's engagement algorithm. If your business has a physical location, then tagging your photos using the geo-setting is also a good idea. This will then allow people to find your photos when searching their local area, as well as enabling them to view your other photos due to your location.

I started using Groupon & LivingSocial around the time they pretty much launched themselves.
Now, I love a good deal. Since I live in a large city, there are multiple deals every single day. Tempting? Yes. But I have found that with a little self-control, making use of these sites can be quite advantageous.
The Good
(1) Since there are multiple deals throughout the city, and there are a lot, I have pretty much decided to have these deals e-mailed to one of my junk e-mail accounts. Do I end up with a lot of e-mails? Yes. But I would rather do that than be annoyed that I missed something I actually wanted, as opposed to one of the five hundred spa treatments offered through the website.
(2) Once I actually find a deal I want, I make sure that I go through it in my mind a bit. Do I really want this? Can I afford this right now? Will I actually use it? If the answers are yes, I will generally buy it. For example, I rarely ever go to the movies—usually I only go once a year. At ten or more dollars per ticket, it's just not worth it to me. But if I know there is a movie coming out I want to see and one of these sites comes out with a deal, I will probably purchase it. For $12, I just purchased a Groupon for a movie theater near me that includes two tickets and bottomless popcorn. I also keep an eye out for places I enjoy eating at or want to try since I really do love eating out—it's like a hobby to me. For $15, I purchased a deal for $35 of food from a healthy food place that we really enjoy. These will be used for a "date night."
(3) Of course I realized thisafter my last purchase, but my credit card, which offers pretty decent cash back rewards, has 15% cash back on purchases for Groupon if you go through their website. All you need to do is log into your credit card website, for example, and click through the links on their site. Once you do that, you'll get the cash back—you won't get the 15% just buying it without going through the credit card's site.
(4) Sometimes you will end up with free stuff—I got a credit of $10 once because someone apparently used a referral link to LivingSocial that I had put out there. If all of your friends want to go in on a deal, many times they have it set-up so that if you refer three friends you get your deal for free. If it's something big, you might be able to all go in on a deal, such as a vacation, and then split it up so that four people are paying the price for three people—making the savings even greater.
(5) I find that the sites have pretty good return policies. My sister bought something she could not use once and they refunded her money relatively quickly.
The Bad
(1) Having your credit card linked to your account makes it all too easy to make a fast purchase. If I am waffling on a deal, within a few seconds and a couple of clicks, I might have purchased it. Whoops.
(2) Constantly being bombarded with deals makes me want more things in the moment. For example, I had been talking about going zip lining and literally the next day I had an offer for zip lining in my mail box. I was so excited I wanted to purchase it right away. I gave myself a little time and instead I decided that it wasn't the time to do it. Also, I stated that I am always on the lookout for restaurant deals. I find that often times it is the case that there will be nothing I want for months and then all of a sudden there are a bunch of restaurants I want to purchase deals for in a row. Sometimes I really, really have to resist the temptation.
What I Try to Do
I decided, after purchasing two deals within the same day after not purchasing any deals for awhile, that I will just make it part of my budget. One of the descriptors in my budget is a "miscellaneous" category. If I don't have the money for it, then I am not going to buy it. Of course, if it's for some big purchase that I have decided I am going to make, such as a purchase for a trip, I will have a little more leeway.
How do you feel about these sites? Are they forces of good or evil?

Have you ever thought about how much parents lie to their children? These lies range from protective to downright disturbing (in an article I once read, a mom told her child that poisonous gas would come out of the smoke detector if he climbed out of bed). How are we supposed to teach our children that lying is wrong if parents so often lie to their children? And worse still: how are we supposed to teach our children that lying is wrong if the world thinks it's right?
Lying is an abomination to the Lord (Proverbs 12:22), yet even in the Christian community, lying is often brushed under the rug. So, if we really want to guide our child in the habit of truthfulness, then our approach has to be informed and wise. Charlotte Mason gave us three reasons that people lie. Being aware of these reasons can help our children develop the habit of truthfulness.
Related: The Complete Charlotte Mason Preschool Guide
This post was updated May 2019.
Three Reasons People Lie
In Home Education, Charlotte Mason explained that lying has three different causes:
"The vice of lying arises from three causes: carelessness in ascertaining the truth, carelessness in stating the truth, and a deliberate intention to deceive." Home Education, page 164
Ascertaining the Truth
- Stating things they aren't sure of
- Making claims they can't possibly know
Stating the Truth
- Exaggeration
- Omission
Deliberate Intention to Deceive
- Lying to avoid consequences or discipline
- Lying to preserve personal integrity
The Habit of Truthfulness
Charlotte Mason devoted a lot of ink to the habit of truthfulness. In each of these reasons she gives us, we can find ways to develop the habit of truthfulness in our children.
"Now, of the three kinds of lying, it is only, as a matter of fact, the third which is severely visited upon the child; the first and the second he is allowed in." Home Education, page 165
Ascertaining the truth
When children are young, they love to tell stories- sometimes making up details and events. This is adorable. But when we started working on the habit of truthfulness with our daughter, I realized I had to use these made-up events to encourage her to search for the truth in her words and actions. Not allowing these slips in truth, with a raised eyebrow and gentle question (Is this true?) is important during a child's early years.
Stating the truth
We don't think much of a child's exaggerations, partly because they are sweet, and partly because our world is full of exaggeration. But allowing them paves a way for future lies. If our children see that it's okay to exaggerate, they soon decide that it's okay to not tell the truth. When we worked on this with Miss H, I simply asked her, "Do you think you really ate 100 pieces of candy? I think it was probably more like three." That was the extent of the conversation, but even that slight challenge taught her that lying isn't accepted.
Deliberate intention to deceive
This cause of lying is the most difficult to stop, because, as Charlotte Mason alluded to, they aren't typically allowed in this type of lying. I've learned through my experiences as a teacher and a mom that how we frame things for our children makes a huge impact on their truthfulness. Instead of asking questions that could easily be met with a quick lie, turn them into statements. Instead of, "Did you clean your room?" say, "Let me go see your nice, clean room first!" By framing it that way, you are making it more difficult for your child to lie.
Reframed Questions
Did you eat your whole dinner? —— Please bring me your empty plate.
Did you finish your work? —— I'd love to see the results of your hard
Did you push your brother? —— Your brother is crying and he looks hurt. Please tell me why.
Related: The Habit of Prompt Obedience
Other Strategies to Encourage Truthfulness
Teach about right and wrong. The habit of truthfulness is developed like other moral habits: we have to teach children about right and wrong, and if we are Believers, that right and wrong come from God. We can't twist honesty around to serve our own purposes because God's truth is steadfast. (Read my post about authority here).
When searching for the truth, give your child some time to answer you. Sometimes when we play investigator and demand an answer immediately, kids impulsively shout out a lie, and then dig themselves deeper into it. If we give them some time to answer and say, "I want you to think about what's really true, and when you're ready, go ahead and tell me."
Model truthfulness, even when it's difficult. Explain to your child when you choose truth (in an age appropriate way!)
Show that you think they're honest. This is helpful because your child will know that you expect the truth from them. Painting them in a negative light, especially in their own eyes, creates a "self-fulfilling prophecy." My lovely former principal got down on a child's level and say, "This is just not like you," an approach that's helpful in handling many different behaviors.
Give a natural or educative consequence. A natural consequence will occur without any interference from you. An educative consequence is established by you, but is related to the offense.

A Thought on Brutal Honesty
Do you think people who claim themselves to be "brutally honest" are honest about everything? Like, Abe Lincoln chasing customers for miles to give them their penny kind of honest? I don't think so. I think the term "brutally honest" exists to help people feel better about being mean. Kindness and gentleness are fruits of the spirit- we can be honest while being kind and gentle. As I teach my children the habit of truthfulness, I'll also teach them the habits of kindness and gentleness.


text: WWMN is a place where I feel my personal growth accelerates. My mind structures brakes to allow myself to new and more expanded realities. The weekly exercises are simply, doable and have a great impact in my daily life. I relate to amazing loving/powerful people who are working on themselves from all around the world. We get to co-create, grow together and support a space of no-judment for our doubts, expression and even personal support. In my experience WWMN has the most advance spiritual, mystical, reality and potentiality discussions I have ever come across so far. Thank you!

A Paper Wasp Nest
24 comments:
We have a wives-tale that the higher the wasp nest the deeper the snow or harsher the winter. But the nests are too beautiful to not admire.ReplyDelete
They really are beautiful if you get a close up look at the colors and textures. But if my memory serves me right, you have a not-so-pleasant memory of those little stinging devilsReplyDelete
WOW!!!! It's huge.ReplyDelete
I have never seen one of those and that is just incredible. It is so huge. Here we just get wasps nests and you wouldn't be holding it as it would be full of brood and wasps.ReplyDelete
It really is work of art.
It must be cold there with your mittens and your ear muffs.
I like your snowy background. Have a lovely week.
Evening, it really is a work of art, wonderful texture......Blessings Francine.ReplyDelete
It is a wonderful work! You could try to match those colors and waves in a rug hooking.ReplyDelete
My first thought when I looked at this wasp's nest was that it would make a beautiful background for a hooked rug. After all, we can always count on Mother Nature to teach us how to do things.ReplyDelete
It looks cold in your part of the country. We got a few flakes but it turned to rain today.
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Hugs :)
Oh Cathy I have two large ones hanging in my house, in Georgia we call them hornets nest. I am always on the look out for more. In the winter when we go to the Smoky Mts we see how many we can spot on our drives! Hornets love to make nest hanging high over the water. Congraduations on your win from rugs and pugs such a beautiful pumpkin.ReplyDelete
we have one of those also It is amazing just how those little bugs make that.ReplyDelete
My husband had his eye on a couple of those a few weeks ago. He noticed last week, they were gone. We call them hornets here too. They use to say if you hung them out on the porch it would keep the birds from building nests on the porch eves. I'm with the birds, I steer clear of them too.ReplyDelete
Never say never Cathy. It is rather pretty.ReplyDelete
An amazing find !ReplyDelete
Would love to know a method for preserving this treasure.
Loving all of that gorgeous color and texture.
Cathy....we have one in our Maple tree too and were just discussing it this morning. I guess I thought the Wasps stayed dormant for the Winter and then aroused in Spring...lol So I guess we can take it down.ReplyDelete
I never realized how pretty they are.
My first thought--eeeewwww! Second one--pretty cool how they made it! Busy little critters!ReplyDelete
Beautiful, Cathy. Thanks for sharing this!ReplyDelete
Hugs, Linda
thanks for sharing! we have honeybees on our little farm. it is amazing how they work.my friends mom lives out east and they were selling big ones for about 45 dollors.thanks from cindy on her little farm with 3 dogs 1old horse a husband 3 cats.ReplyDelete
My husband has three of those -~ so I get it!!! They really are a work of art! Love your close-up pix!!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous! We had one the size of a basketball a few years ago - sadly it fell apart. It's so surprising to find them, huh? Didn't notice it all summer long until the tree was naked.....ReplyDelete
That 2nd close up picture shows the beautiful neutral colors. Very inspiring, and would make a lovely pattern to hook or paint!ReplyDelete
Wow! What a find!!ReplyDelete
Beautiful artwork by those little creatures. How sweet of your husband; he seemed pretty excited to bring it down.ReplyDelete
I have one of these hanging in my living room that my husband took down for me from a tree. It is so beautiful, he sprayed the outside and the leaves with some kind of spray to preserve it and its been hanging in my living room for the past two years. Rethink where you want to put it as it makes a great conversation piece. Love your blog and all you do as I am the only traditional rug hooker that I know, lol.ReplyDelete

The Micasaverde & Vera community forums have moved Click here to visit the new Vera Control community forum
If you operate the switch from Vera, does the LED behave correctly, and instantly?
I have no idea why I have all the luck on this one :-)
@RichCanyon,This is not the way the device is normally set up. Have you tried just including the VRCS2 and then setting up on/off scenes to program the buttons? (So without the manual associations and breaker cycle?)With a good Z-Wave path between Vera and VRCS2, this should result in fast response times of the switches. The LED updates may be a bit slower (but that is probably ok; it is more important that they actually reflect the state of the scene, so you don't need double-taps).
I performed my initial setup using the instructions created by @biggsworld [...]. This method used on and off scenes and suffered from both response delays and the frequent need for a double tap.
That's why I was so pleased to see the instant response I got by use the technique described in this thread.
However, once I run a scene against the switch it becomes unstable again (requiring the double-tap to actuate), which is the same behaviour @Z-Waver reported after he tried the fix. Removing power from the device resets it and it works perfectly again.

President Yoweri Kagutta Museveni has revealed that the sole reason why the criminals in the country have not been brought to book is because the bean weevil had infiltrated the police but now it has been removed.
"Those criminals would be arrested only that police had been infiltrated by a bean weevil that was now removed now we shall get them." said Museveni
President Museveni's statements comes after few days after he reshuffled the police and other security agencies which changes did not spare the former police boss for the last 13 years Gen. Edward Kale Kayihura replacing him with Okoth Martin Ochola who has been his deputy and Muzeeyi Sabiti taking up as the deputy police boss from his position as military police commander and Gen. Elly Tumwine replacing Lt. Gen. Henry Tumukunde.
President Museveni also lashed at the courts of law for issuing an order stopping the handcuffing of suspect while in court which he asserted that resulted into the escape of two of panga wielding suspects who terrorised residents in greater masaka districts from court on Monday this week.
President Museveni has lashed at men who beat up and brutalize the women to the extent of referring to them as cowards.
"men who beat up their wives are cowards, why fight with a woman? Incase you want to fight go and fight with fellow men but even you women why don't you report them to police you equally take the blame." said Museveni
Museveni made the remarks during the international Women's Day celebration at Busuubizzi core primary

We are glad to partner with Top Pin to establish their new brand as the top name in Archery in our area. The owner approached us with a vision to hold events and publicize them on their website, but the problem was, they had no logo or web presence whatsoever. It was Seejepp to the rescue! After various meetings and in depth discussion, we delivered a brand and website that they were very happy with.

1 Nephi 1:2 – Thirty Year Old Journal
"therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days"
Sometimes we assume that the book of 1 Nephi is like a journal – that Nephi kept it as he went along. Maybe that's the case for the other plates he kept, I don't know, but with the version we have access to, Nephi wrote his record 30 years after Lehi's family left Jerusalem, and well after the time they arrived in the Promised Land. (see 1 Nephi 19:1-5 / 2 Nephi 5:28-31)
1 Nephi 19:1-5
4 Wherefore, I, Nephi, did make a record upon the other plates, which gives an account, or which gives a greater account of the wars and contentions and destructions of my people. And this have I done, and commanded my people what they should do after I was gone; and that these plates should be handed down from one generation to another, or from one prophet to another, until further commandments of the Lord.
5 And an account of my making these plates shall be given hereafter; and then, behold, I proceed according to that which I have spoken; and this I do that the more sacred things may be kept for the knowledge of my people.
2 Nephi 5:28-31
28 *And thirty years had passed away from the time we left Jerusalem.
29 And I, Nephi, had kept the records upon my plates, which I had made, of my people thus far.
30 And it came to pass that the Lord God said unto me: Make other plates; and thou shalt engraven many things upon them which are good in my sight, for the profit of thy people.
31 Wherefore, I, Nephi, to be obedient to the commandments of the Lord, went and made these plates upon which I have engraven these things.
32 And I engraved that which is pleasing unto God. And if my people are pleased with the things of God they will be pleased with mine engravings which are upon these plates.
33 And if my people desire to know the more particular part of the history of my people they must search mine other plates.
34 And it sufficeth me to say that *forty years had passed away, and we had already had wars and contentions with our brethren.
Why does that matter, you ask? Well, I suppose it doesn't, really. I just thought that was kind of cool.

Neogen Dermalogy Real Cica Pad Review:
This review has been a long time coming since I first bought it when it first launched in Seoul earlier this year. Unfortunately, as this tub is quite bulky and I couldn't bring it with me on some trips, it led to inconsistent use, so I allowed ample time for me to use it consistently before I decided to finally sit down and offer my thoughts on this raved about product. I'm not one to give in to much hype, but when I was caught up in the "cica craze", this product seemed like a total must have product, what with its claims and nice ingredients list. But, did it live up to my expectations?
+ Calming skin hydration for sensitized skin & dead skin removal – SKIN PROTECTION FORMULA.
+ Super-fine fiber pads saturated in a high-concentrated cica repair essence which contains centella asiatica extract and NEOGEN PHA™ softly exfoliates to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum while soothing sensitized skin by creating a strong, hydrating moisture barrier that reinforces the skin's natural strength.
+ NO skin irritating, harmful ingredients
+ NO artificial fragrances, pigments and preservatives
+ WITHOUT unnecessary ingredients, WITH only real beneficial ingredients
+ Human skin irritation completed/approved
Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Centella Asiatica Extract, Dipropylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Madecassoside, Lactobionic Acid, Gluconolactone, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Octyldodecanol, Ceramide NP, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Allantoin, Betaine, Panthenol, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tromethamine, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Xanthan Gum, Propanediol, Diglycerin, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Disodium EDTA.

Star Ingredients:
Centella Asiatica Extract/Asiaticoside/Asiatic Acid: Rich in amino acids, beta carotene, fatty acids and phytochemicals which in turn provides anti-aging benefits due to its ability to protect the skin from degradation. Also ideal for acne sufferers as it speeds healing, which lessens the possibility of scarring and future blemishes, as well as providing skin soothing properties.
Madecassoside/Madecassic Acid: Derived from the Centella Asiatica plant. Has strong anti-inflammatory effects, and stimulates fibrolasts that create collagen, hence strengthening the skin's structure. Also contributes to anti-aging as it is an effective antioxidant.
Lactobionic Acid: A type of Poly Hydroxy Acid (PHA) which is chemically and functionally similar to AHAs (such as glycolic acid) but has a larger molecular structure, which limits their ability to penetrate the skin, resulting in less potential skin irritation – ideal for sensitive skin types. Also said to be a strong humectant and aids in stimulating cellular turnover, as well as reducing the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation.
Gluconolactone: A type of Poly Hydroxy Acid (PHA) which can either serve as an active ingredient or as an additive. Often added to formulas for its skin-conditioning properties, but also works as a humectant, mild anti-bacterial and to protect the skin against up to 50% of protection against UV raditation and UV radiation-induced elastin promoter activation.
Hyaluronic Acid/Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid/Sodium Hyaluronate: Humectant which absorbs moisture 1000 times its weight. Plays an important role of providing sufficient moisture to the skin, and helps bring back elasticity and lustre back to tired and sensitive skin.
Ceramide NP: Also known as Ceramide 3. Works as a hydrating agent due to its inherent ability to aid in rebuilding and restoring the skin's epidermal barrier, as well as strengthening the skin's appearance and moisture levels.
Allantoin: A gentle, non-irritating moisturizing ingredient ideal for sensitive skin. Also known as a keratolytic which means it aids in increasing the water content of cells while also helping in the process of desquamation (ie. to stimulate cell proliferation, encouraging new tissue growth) of the outer layers of the skin.
Betaine: An amino acid which is also known as trimethylglycine or glycine betaine. Functions primarily as a humectant and anti-irritant. Able to temporarily decrease the depth of wrinkles, giving the face a much smoother appearance.
Panthenol: Also known as pro-vitamin B5. Used primarily as a humectant as it has the ability to attract and retain moisture.
Volume: 90 pads (150ml / 5.07 fl.oz.)
How to use:
1. After cleansing, use one pad to wipe across the entire face and neck in the direction of the skin's texture while avoiding the eyes.
2. After wiping entire face, lightly pat all remaining essence on the skin until it is fully absorbed.
My Skin Type: Sensitive (prone to redness), Combination, Acne-prone, Dehydrated
Neogen Dermalogy Real Cica Pad Review:
With no outer box packaging (instead, just wrapped in a light layer of plastic), the Neogen Dermalogy Real Cica Pad is housed in a relatively large circular tub with a twist off cap. Opening the container, there is a white peel-off seal, which you can actually peel off completely, but I chose to leave part of it on to act as an extra protective layer.
The pads are stacked on top of one another in the tub, with the essence soaking them more often than not being pooled at the bottom of the container, so I do advise you to tilt it upside down before use! The essence does hold a noticeable scent, which I suspect to be of the Bergamot Fruit Oil listed in the ingredients, but I personally don't find it to be too nauseating. Though, if you're sensitive to scents and/or essential oils, this may cause sensitivity issues, so do be cautious!
As the pads are super thin, I do feel that if you're trying your best to keep your skincare in hygienic conditions, please do use tongs to peel off each pad when you want to use them instead of fingers/nails. Unfortunately, tongs don't come with the product. In terms of the size, I do feel that these pads are quite large – one can cover almost my entire cheek, in fact.
Coupled with how thin they are, once the pads are soaked in essence, I find that it's a huge reason why one (read: me) can err on going too heavy-handed on scrubbing at the skin to finish up all the essence, which is definitely not ideal for anyone with sensitive skin. I find that cutting the pads in half can actually be a viable solution to eradicate this mindset, to be honest, but that's just a suggestion.
Texture-wise, the pads are surprisingly rougher than I expected them to be, especially as they're advertised to be a gentle exfoliating product for sensitized skin types. To be honest, I was expecting the pads to have a similar design to Neogen's original pads, where there are different textures on each side; unfortunately, these Cica pads have the same fine cross-stitched design on the surface of both sides, which I find to be a questionable decision.
As someone who often deals with irritated skin, whether it be inflamed acne or allergic reactions, on those bad skin days, I found that the rough texture of the pads worsened my skin condition and actually made my skin visibly red. However, I do really like the stellar ingredients list, so I decided to try out different techniques without irritating my skin too much.
Hence, instead of swiping the pads across my skin as suggested, I'd either gently pat the pads onto my skin and/or do a quick 5-10 minute "masking" by putting a few pads on different areas on my face. As expected, I do find it to be gentler for daily use this way.
But, I must say that I do find the pads to be a great physical exfoliator to use once in awhile when you feel your dead skin cells building up and/or to make sure you've gotten off all that residue/pollutants post-cleanse after a particularly grimy day.
And if you're unlike me and don't have the tendency to go a bit heavy-handed on scrubbing at your skin with these kinds of pads, you might actually find these to be used daily just fine! I just would still advise otherwise if you have more sensitive skin.
I have to still say, though, that I'm pretty underwhelmed with this product. I guess, from all the marketing and review hype claiming it to be a great daily exfoliator for sensitive skin; I just got too excited and forgot all about my previous experience with the Cosrx One Step Pimple Clear Pad.
While I do think I prefer the Neogen pads to the Cosrx by a slight margin, I'm disappointed that this proves to still be too rough for my skin on a daily basis. Unlike the Cosrx though, which could be used to deeply exfoliate in my weekly deep cleanse routine (BHA/AHA -> clay mask -> oil cleanse) I find the Neogen which contains only PHA to be less useful.
All in all, after using this on and off for a few months, I'd probably rate the Neogen Dermalogy Real Cica Pad a rating of 3.5/5 and am not planning on repurchasing. It's a decent product with an excellent ingredients list (though, the inclusion of Bergamot Fruit Oil is questionable since essential oils can be sensitizing in the long run), but could be improved.
However, it is a great acid alternative for those sensitive to the classic BHA/AHA options in the market. I just wouldn't recommend it to those with inflamed acne/open wounds to prevent further abrasions/micro-tears on the skin.

Blogarithm - Blog Email Subscription Tool
Blogarithm is a tool that you can add to your blog to give your readers the option to subscribe to it via email. It's a good system for those readers who have yet to discover or adopt RSS and news aggregators.
I'm probably not going to use it because I generally encourage RSS readership and/or newsletters for my readers to follow my blogs via - but it could be worthwhile for some.
If you'd like to test it just add www.enternetusers.net (what else!?) and your email to the form on blogarithm's front page.
If you use it - let me know how you find it.
18 Responses to "Blogarithm - Blog Email Subscription Tool"
There is another new service called FeedBlitz (http://www.feedblitz.com/) that does the same thing. I stumbled upon blogarithm recently and was wondering which service was better. FeedBlitz also works fine with FeedBurner statistics (i.e. no. of subscribers is added to the no. of statistics shown by FeedBurner).
Am thinking of trying out Blogarithm to see if it offers anything new/better. 1 think I dont like about FeedBlitz mails is the garish orange colour that they use as well as inability on the blogger's part to make the emails text-only.
blogarithm is kind of new, the website is dodgy and i've tried the service and find it un-attrActive, i like the whole idea of people subscribing to your blog thru email.
take a look at their site, they've got google adsense place at certain location, kind of weird that there is no paid service and their main source of income is the ads display at their site. How long would company like these last?
he registration is resonable, but they don't really allow you to customise the html code to your liking. other than that, its okay. should give it a try.
[…] [via enternetusers] […]
I've used Blogarithm for about a year and a half. It's fine for web sites that aren't up to RSS speed. However, the sites I monitor via Blogarithm predate the popularity of RSS.
Darren, completely off-topic but are you having trouble with your email - my emails to your are returning back undeliverable
I actually read all of my RSS subscriptions via IMAP email, though I subscribe to the feeds and a custom script emails them to me rather than any service like this. I've tried a LOT of the aggregators out there and none of them are as flexible as Thunderbird or Outlook on IMAP. The filters, views and organization are way better than any of the aggregators that I've tried: online or desktop. I'm not just stuck with read/unread and maybe delete. I don't have to read by any predefined group or one feed at a time and because it's IMAP, it persists between sessions and on different computers.
If there's an aggregator that has real flexibility in working with feed items, I'd love to hear about it.
Darren, sorry no luck on both emails (enternetusers.net & livingroom.org.au) - keep bouncing back.
not xhtml-compliant. this is a bit of an issue.
sorry Darren, doesn't appear to be anything to do with you - I've tried other different emails and they all bounce back.
just installed adsl this morning, must be an issue there (can recieve emails but not send) - sorry for the inconvenience
I envy those of you who have demographics that are technically savvy, unfortunately a very large segment of my visitors have not clue what RSS is or how to use it.
Without email feeds I would miss a very large part of my audience.
I am continually amazed at how many of my techie friends still have not discovered the word aggregator.
I use feedblitz on my site and it works beautifully. Blogflux also works well
Is this any different than RMail? I use that on my sites.
Thanks for mentioning us, Darren, and for all the great feedback! We're doing our very best to ensure that our subscribers (and the bloggers who recommend us to their readers) have the absolute best possible experience.
I'd like mention a few things that folks might want to consider:
1. Though we've recently major some major enhancements, with some more big ones on the way, we've been doing this for over 3 years now.
2. We're essentially an RSS reader via email (for now). What (we think, anyway) is so cool is that we also work with blogs and other websites that don't have RSS! For the 10% or so of blog readers (and about 60% of blogs) that have figured out RSS, it's fantastic. We're trying to help out the other 90%. With us, you get the benefits of RSS, etc, without having to worry about a feed's URL and whether or not the blog even has one. We love RSS, too - we just think the answer to more people using it is to integrate it into what they already do, not make them have to learn a new way of doing things.
3. We're as xhtml-compliant as having google ads allows us to be. Everything besides the ad code is completely compliant.
Yes, Max is right. I was wrong. I copied the code to my site and it seems to be perfect XHTML stuff. Well done!
I personally don't have found an issue with AdSense, but maybe some formats are causing trouble. I keep this in mind.
We recently started using FeedBlitz (http://www.feedblitz.com/) and we are very pleased with their service.
Not only does it work as advertised, but we've found the company to be very responsive as well. They even implented a feature we suggested.
As Varun mentioned, FeedBlitz it integrates well with Feedburner.
Certainly for wordpress blogs i prefer to keep control of everything myself as there are some excellent plugins that do the job nicely. At present i use
Subscribe 2 which works like a charm delivering via email posts instantly and I also use Subscribe to comments 2 which allows visitors to automatically subscribe to comments on an individual post basis.
Thanks Darren. This is very interesting. I tried FeedBlitz but the inability to control when the posts are emailed was a bit of a down side. By the way in a recent vote, 25% of my site visitors said they'd like to be able to get posts by email. Then again this is a cartoon site -so I can see why.
[…] Darren provided the motivation yesterday when he talked about Blogarithm. He mentions that Blogarithm "is a tool that you can add to your blog to give your readers the option to subscribe to it via email. It's a good system for those readers who have yet to discover or adopt RSS and news aggregators." […]

a fantastic reference point ,if you moved away from the city of your child hood . In my case the people concerned had married but had stayed in the family home so i already had an address ( thanks to goole earth) the old phone book had the address and a four digit phone number which by itself was useless anyway i worked out the code for the area and was able to contact one person who was able to furnish the other contact details

The latest episode of Mamavation TV kicked off the #2WeekChallenge with Leah and Mark Segedie teaming up to prepare us for the challenge and getting into a fitness routine. We also had Mamavation Bootcamp 18 Graduate Dee Copeland as a guest to talk about her personal journey with fitness and weight loss.
Dee has taken the long road to health and fitness, now going on 6 years. She didn't opt for a quick fix or fad diet to drop weight, she made lifestyle changes and committed to making healthier choices. She has lost an inspiring 115 pounds so far! So inspiring, in fact, that she decided to become a certified personal trainer to help others with the same goals as she has. Dee is looking to change up her routine to lose the last stubborn pounds between her and her goal weight. She hopes new workouts and adding in the #2WeekChallenge will help get her there.
If you aren't familiar with the #2WeekChallenge, it's a fitness campaign designed to kickstart your workout (or lack thereof). It is customizable to any skill level, and takes just 30 minutes or less to complete a daily workout. Perhaps the best part is access to Mr. Bookieboo himself. Not only is he your accountability for daily exercises, but he is there to help. If you are unsure about an exercise or need a modification, he is there to answer your questions.
We took full advantage of Mr. Bookieboo's expertise during the show and he shared these 5 important tips:
5 Tips for the #2WeekChallenge
1. Listen to Your Body-
You know your body and it's abilities better than anyone else, so don't push your body beyond it's limits. You don't want to get injured, and that would set you back in your fitness. Your workouts should be challenging, but not impossible. If you can't do the the last set, that's okay. Just keep trying each time you do that exercise routine and eventually you'll get there. If a certain exercise is just too painful or complicated, Mr. Bookieboo can suggest a substitution.
2. Stick to a Workout Schedule-
The challenge workouts are arranged to spread out the muscles groups being targeted, so you don't over train any one area. Do your best to stick to the schedule, or at least make sure to plan your workouts with your muscles in mind. You don't want to target arms two days in a row and skip legs for nearly a week. Muscles need attention, but they also need time to rest in between. Mark also cautions against cardio on days when you lift weights as well, to prevent over training.
3. Keep Moving-
These workouts are circuit training exercises. This means you should move from one exercise to the next without a break in between. You want to keep your heart rate up. If you must take a break, DON'T stop moving. Jog in place, do some jumping jacks, or whatever you can to prepare for the next set.
4. Creative Cardio-
Cardio isn't just leotards and workout videos. There are endless possibilities when it comes to exercising your heart. Mr. Bookieboo suggest turning up some music and dancing, kickboxing, or going for a run. Is the weather nice? Go for a bike ride or a swim. The point is to get your heart rate up and some sweat dripping down. Be creative and mix it up to keep things fun.
5. Proper Form-
Just as tip number one mentioned, you want to avoid injury. The best way to do this is by keeping proper form with your exercises. Mr. Bookieboo has conveniently provided links to YouTube demos for most of the #2WeekChallenge exercises. This takes the guess work out of working out and shows you the safe and effective way to get the intended results. I also recommend exercising in front of a mirror until you are confident with your form.
You can watch the full recorded episode of the show above, for more great tips from Dee and Leah and Mark. You'll also see some adorable headphone sharing and married banter between Mr. and Mrs. Bookieboo, which is added bonus. You can STILL sign up for the #2WeekChallenge. There are plenty of chances to make up any missed workouts.

Wangaratta mayor Ken Clarke's moustache faces the razor this Movember
Wangaratta is preparing to say goodbye to an icon of politics and the unofficial face of council, with mayor Ken Clarke announcing his mo will go.
For 36 years Cr Clarke's moustache has been a proud part of his face and Wangaratta's life.
Through three decades of societal change, Cr Clarke's moustache has been a reliable constant, pragmatic in its ability to morph into a goatee or full beard, but underneath it all the comforting consistent mo.
But now Cr Clarke is putting it all on the line, confirming if Cr Ash Fitzpatrick raises more than $2000 this Movember, he will shave his moustache off.
"Being a survivor of prostate cancer I certainly want to see men living longer and looking after their health a bit better and this is a way of doing that," Cr Clarke said.
If Cr Fitzpatrick reaches the $2000 target, it will be the first time any of Cr Clarke's grandchildren will see him bare-faced.

Drug Addiction and Our "Quick-Fix" Society
Let's look at the current drug and alcohol addiction epidemic from a different angle: America has become the land of the "quick-fix.
How Did We Raise an Addict?
No set of parents wants to believe they are responsible for their child becoming an addict.
Drugs, Alcohol & Relationships
At the age of 15, I started drinking alcohol and doing drugs. More importantly, just before I started drinking or using, I let go of the moral and ethical codes that one should adhere to in order to have a happy life. As I became an adult, I found myself doing things that I knew were wrong, but I did them anyway. I then used drugs and alcohol to hide from how this unethical behavior made me feel.…
Is Christmas the Best Time to Go to Rehab?
There's never a " good " time to go to drug rehab and it's usually inconvenient to handle an addict in the family. Addicts will come up with all sorts of excuses as to why they shouldn't go to rehab right now.
Hep C: What Every Addict Should Know
Using drugs carries many risks. Addicts have to be constantly vigilant about avoiding the danger that lurks around every corner and in the bottom of every bag.
All Alone on a Bathroom Floor
All that comes to mind when I think of my life before coming to Narconon Suncoast is me, alone, sitting on my bathroom floor, crying because the very thing I had given my life to no longer took my pain away.
Bullied Into Drugs
"Kids can be so cruel!" is a phrase that has been said by most everyone in their lifetime. Recently, the media has been buzzing with the latest stories of the effects of bullying. Schools make promise after promise to parents that they have the issue "under control" when in reality, they don't.

text: i am often asked why i went from the world of ideas to the world of things. socrates considered the world of things to be inferior to the world of ideas. two and a half thousand years later i would have thought this worldview to be antiquated. the world of clothes and shoes and bags is surely the world of things but they are deeply interwoven with ideas and the world of ideas is the domain of values and morals. it is only when the world of things are considered to be the highest good and the people who make clothes and shoes think making money is the one and only goal that we end up with the suffering and the injustice and the oppression and exploitation that we have today. so buy at places where things and ideas and values and morals come together.
