story based on a dream- oh my gosh! an angel just fell on the tree outside my window!
, 08-04-2010 at 06:00 PM (803 Views)
The wind howled and leafless trees swayed erratically outside my bedroom window. There was thunder here and there which sent Gordo running under my bed, as usual. chill, I told him. its just a storm. Its not gonna eat you. The little toy poodle crept cautiously from his hide-out and hopped onto my lap. Its Just me and you. Gordo glanced at me with a solemn expression. I sighed. Since the day of my parents car accident I said that quite often. I It was hard being a seventeen year old child, or man, for my matter, to support himself and keep him alive when there was nothing much to live for. I was alone, and if it werent for Gordo, I wouldve probably gone crazy being isolated for so long. But I didnt want to ponder on that.
I looked around. The tiny room filled with the dark depression that had been with me for what seemed forever. Socks and pairs of pants all on the floor, T-shirts hanging on the head of my bed. It was a twin bed, and the bed sheets were quite worn-out. The plain blue color was fading. but It didnt matter to me. Nothing quite mattered to me, for the exception of Gordo.
I looked outside again, and on the tree outside my window, there was something there that wasnt before. It looked like a very large bird. it was frantically flapping. Hey Gordo, how about we catch us some dinner? Gordo followed me in the kitchen where I had my rifle stored. I live near a forest that allows game, and this is how I usually get my food. I had nothing else to do anyways. I slipped my parka on and stepped into my boots. I shouldve put my gloves on but I dont mind my hands getting a little bloody.
I went outside and walked to the tree which was very close-by. The sky was as dark as if midnight came six hours early. It hasnt been raining like this in a long while, or really raining at all. Either way it didnt bother me from getting my game. I was hungry and looking forward to a good dinner. I stuck a couple of bullets in, just in case the first shot didnt get the bird down. Rain stung my face, and I had to lean forward so the wind wouldnt take me down. but even in these conditions I would never miss a shot. I propped my gun up and placed my hands in the trigger. I squinted to see. Then I rubbed my eyes.
I must be hallucinating.
It was not a bird but a girl with wings? I thought this was a joke.
Hey girl! I dont you think this is the wrong time for you to learn how to fly?!
She was struggling on that branch. Maybe she was demented.
I wedged my rifle on a fork of the tree and climbed up. The branches were extremely fragile, and She was quite high up. My stomach became tighter with every step I took. When I got close enough, I saw she was about my age, maybe a little older.
How the hell did you get here? my voice was barely audible over the rain.
She didnt reply. She just stretched out her hand aimlessly. The moment I grasped it an immense wave of shock went through my body, I let go of her and I almost lost my balance. She seemed to notice, and showed an expression of oops on her face. I grabbed her hand again. This time there was just a gentle tingle.
I guided her down from the tree, my heart pumping. It was harder coming down than going up. I slipped a couple of times and I dont know how I managed not to fall. my mind was racing, working by instinct.
When we finally felt the ground I snatched my rifle and we ran inside before I could fully process what had just happened.
I sighed of relief. I tried to turn on the lights.
Great. The powers out. Just what I need. I stumbled to the kitchen cabinet to find the lighter.
When i finally lit up some candles after many stubborn tries, I focused my attention of the demented girl.
I spoke slowly. Hey, go on and sit down. dont worry if your wet.
She sat down on my blue fabric reclining chair in the middle of the living room. I was hoping she wouldnt sit there.
She got up and sat on the wooden chair next to the recliner. She smiled at me. Did I say that out loud? I thought.
No. she replied.
I didnt say anything. I assured her.
I know, you dont have to. she was still smiling.
It was only now that I got a good look at the girl. She was a dirty blond and had eyes of silver that shined in the candle light . She wore a long-sleeved robe. I could not help but stare at the wings. She shivered and the wings wrapped themselves around her.
Where did you some from? I had unconsciously put on a face that probably offended her, because she frowned and looked down.
The sky her voice shook.
Are those ? I pointed at the wings.
Real? she looked straight at me now. Then she stood up and turned her back to me. She spread them out and folded them again, the feathers looking more like crystal, but soft, vibrating slightly as she moved them. It was soothing just to look.
Are you ? I couldnt believe the conclusion I was about to make.
An angel? she finished my sentence.
stop doing that. I said hastily.
doing what?
reading my mind like that youve been doing that for the past 10 minutes
oh cant you do that? she said as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
No. am I supposed to? I crossed my arms. I was officially freaked out.
oh, Im sorry, I know most humans cant do that she looked away.
ok, what? Wait so youre an I cant believe that...
She sighed. I knew I was going to have a problem. she sat down again and rested her face on one hand.
No, no, its not like that this was the hardest, most confusing conversation I had been in. I didnt know what else to say. I hardly paid attention to the thunder outside. I had completely forgot about Gordo.
How about we start from the beginning? When you were on that tree. What exactly happened? I went over to the reclining chair and sat down. this was going to be good.
Well I dont remember much to tell you the truth. All I wanted was to go to earth, for some reason so I decided to go as i was, but something went wrong. I wasnt supposed to be seen. The reason why I fell into the tree was because gravity pulled me down.
So you just became more dense right? I added. And you fell I heard about fallen angels but I never thought they would fall that way.
Mmmhm. she looked directly into my eyes. I lost concentration for a mintute, then I blinked. ahem Well you seem all flesh and bone
But Im not. I just became dense enough to be seen and heard, and not to go through things.
I was trying to put sense into this, but it was very hard for a man of average intelligence. Even though Im quite open-minded, I never put much thought to things I couldnt see. Now I have a fallen angel sitting in my living room.
I nodded to her to signal I understood. well now that thats settled, how about we wash up and get some sleep? The water will be a little cold if you dont mind, uh..
Rachael. she looked at me with that smile again.
Dylan. I smiled back. For the first time in a year. I got up from the recliner and headed upstairs to the bathroom.
oh, um, by the way, I dont sleep. Rachael was still sitting.
ok then, well, youre still welcome in my bedroom. Ive been needing some human company.
well Im not
I know. I rolled my eyes and chuckled. I noticed I was in a better mood than always. Ever since Rachael came in, The atmosphere suddenly lit up.
You havent done that in a while, havent you? her face showed a sorry expression. I was afraid that she would know. I wouldnt be surprised if she did.
Your parents Im so sorry. But remember, theyre in a good place now.
It hadnt occurred to me to ask her about them. She is an angel.
Did you see them? Are They ok? I suddenly became eager.
Their names? I just might know them. I felt she really wanted to help me. I totally forgot I used to think she was demented. I regret that.
Barbara and Gabriel Hale..."
should i continue it?

And That Happened
Posted by Craig CalcaterraGiants 9, Rangers 0: Aaron has the gory details of the bottom of the eighth inning here, and covers just about everything important about this game. I'll simply add that watching Ron Washington manage the Rangers' bullpen in the postseason has been like watching Richie Tennebaum against Gandhi at the U.S. Nationals tournament. All I can think is that Washington's adopted sister married Raleigh St. Clair yesterday, throwing him off his game, leading to all of these unforced errors.
On the bright side: Nelson Cruz got to two or three balls in right field in the early innings that Vladimir Guerrero wouldn't have. If not for that substitution, it probably would have been 4-0 Giants heading into that eighth inning. Though, no, I don't presume that makes Rangers fans feel any better.
I suppose the smart money has the Rangers being written off now. I can't say I'd bet against it. But there's hope. Hope in the form of the Giants throwing out two lefties in the next two games in Jonathan Sanchez and Madison Bumgarner. Hope in that the Rangers have a lot of righthanded firepower and shouldn't be as feeble in Games 3 and 4 as they were last night. Hope in that, should Colby Lewis falter, Neftali Feliz on seven days rest should be able to go five innings or more.
Oh, wait. That just brings us back to Washington. Who will still be managing that pen. Yeah, maybe we should just write Texas off now.

It's a vision that would make the University of Iowa one of the top solar energy using universities in the country.
"All over campus, on top of the dorms, even small little car charging points where students can plug their electric bikes into," said Tim Dwight, who formed the Iowa Solar and Small Wind Energy Trade Association.
Dwight is now part of an effort to install more than 12 hundred kilowatts of solar electric power on campus by 2013.
A new proposal set to go before lawmakers next session calls for more than three million dollars of state funds to the UI for the project.
"You look at all the energy resources we have today and what we've been traditionally powering our way of life on, and things need to change," Dwight said.

Serving healthy snacks to our children is important to providing good nutrition for growth and development, supporting lifelong healthy eating habits, and preventing costly and potentiallydisabling diseases, like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. Snacks are a bigger part of kids' diets than in the past.
Snacks can make positive or negative contributions to kids' diets – depending on the choices we offer. Below are ideas of healthy drinks and snacks for teachers, caregivers, children's programs, and parents to serve to children in the classroom, in after-school programs, at soccer games, home, and elsewhere.
- Fruits and Vegetables – Almost all of the snacks served to children should be fruits or vegetables. Do taste tests or let kids choose (or vote for) new fruits and vegetables to try. Fruit can be served whole, sliced, cut in half, cubed, or in wedges. Canned, frozen, and dried fruits are easy and usually need little preparation. Healthy options include: fresh fruits and vegetables; frozen fruit; applesauce; fruit cups or canned fruit (in juice or light syrup); dried fruit and fruit leathers (without added sugars); fruit salad; fruit juice popsicles; and homemade smoothies. Vegetables can be served with dips like hummus, bean dip, or salad dressing; in salads; or veggie pockets in whole wheat pita.
- Healthy Grains (whole grains that are low in fats and sugars) - Serve mostly whole grains, which provide more fiber, vitamins, and minerals than refined grains. (Whole wheat [or other whole grain] should be the first ingredient listed.) Healthy whole grain options can include: English muffins, pita, or tortillas; breakfast cereal; crackers; rice cakes; popcorn; tortilla chips; granola; cereal bars; breadsticks; or flatbreads. Refined grains, such as pretzels and goldfish, should not be everyday offerings. Be sure to read nutrition labels to pick options that are low in sugars, saturated fat, and trans fat.
- Low-Fat Dairy Foods - To protect children's bones and hearts, make sure all dairy foods are low-fat or fat-free, such as yogurt and low-fat pudding. Since cheese is the #2 source of heart-damaging saturated fat in children's diets, choose lower-fat cheeses, serve small portions, and serve cheese with other foods like fruit, vegetables, or whole grain crackers.
- Nuts and Trail Mix - Since nuts are high in calories, it is best to serve small portions (a small handful) and serve them along with another snack, such as fruit.

KENNEWICK, Wash. - The active Coast Guard base in Tri-Cities is holding an open house this Saturday at their facilities on clover island.
The event will give boaters and families a chance to learn more about what the coast guard does.

The open house is from 9 AM to 2 PM at the Coast Guard Station on Clover Island.
There will be prizes, free give away's, and they will be serving hot dogs and refreshments around lunchtime.

May 20, 2010The Return of Iranian DiplomacyJoe Klein, Time | ||||||
AP Photo "Diplomacy emerged victorious," Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva declared on May 17, after his country and Turkey signed its sketchy nuclear deal with Iran. That was something of a reach. But, if not victorious, diplomacy was taking a rare turn on center stage — especially after the U.S. announced, the very next day, that it had completed the far more tricky feat of getting the Russians and Chinese to sign on to a new round of sanctions against Iran. Neither of these deals will prevent Iran from building itself a nuclear weapon, if that's what it desires — indeed, the Turkey-Brazil deal would allow Iran to enrich uranium at much higher levels of purity than currently allowed by international law. But both, as Vice President Biden might say, are big ... deals.... TAGGED: Turkey, Brazil, Iran RECOMMENDED ARTICLES

Finally it's done. I don't know about the increased contribution by fed workers to their pensions. It depends on how their retirement plans compare to similar work in the private sector. My question is why didn't the Democrats try to use repeal of tax breaks for companies to export jobs as the offset spending cuts? That alone probably would have also covered the extension of employment tax cuts and stemmed some of the flow of jobs out and maybe brought some back now that costs are rising in China.
This is also claimed to be the last major legislation passed before the elections. It doesn't have to be. He should still try to repeal cuts for outsourcing jobs and still try for more economic and job growth legislation. It's extremely popular with the public and keeps the GOP on the defensive. Just look at how well he did on this legislation, getting the GOP to break on the employment taxes. He's on a roll. The best thing he can do to keep rolling is to fight for the poor and middle class by continuing to do things to improve the economy and create jobs and blame the GOP who oppose his plans for the slow growth.
I submit that the economy is not going to be much better at the end of 2012 than it was at the end of 2011. Therefore, it's almost a given that these concerns be rolled over again for the year 2013.
Approving this bill is proof positive that we are incapable, or unwilling, to make the necessary decisions to bring fiscal discipline back to our government. We are no better than the citizens of Greece or any other European nation experiencing huge debt loads.
I understand why people would like this and other mp3 site if you already have a music collection. I love music but why would I ever buy singles or albums again when I can get unlimited streaming for $10/mo through any number of services????
I don't see the 1 time full play as very useful at all. I honestly would much rather be able to play a clip as many times as I want than have a 1-time full play. The later is fairly useless, esp considering It's easy to get a listen to almost anything these days.

- You never have anything good to say about anyone, yet you wrote . People that critize a lot do so to hide their flaws and insecurity. So when you were quoting that , you were staring at the mirror ??
- You spend endless hours on blog , instead of been useful .
- Are you that jobless . You are a Man and not a woman .
- You feel you know everyone, yet you come across as a WANNABE , just attaching so please come off your high Horse. This is a new year so please change for the better . Its cute to be mean like Speidi , but after sometime you have to know when it goes to far. Your meanspiritness has way crossed the line . Stay blessedReplies- Grammar Police30 January, 2013 16:10

Well said! Almost all our cultural dances have one form of butt shaking or bust shaking or the other. Dress style is as skimpy as possible. the Igbo dancers have just one small cloth tied across the chest and a very short wrapper tied across the waist. So I am truly amazed when there is criticism about Western music. Ours is even more vulgar - have you seen Benue dancers before??

She knows dancing naked/half naked isn't right, but she's just looking for ways to justify herself and not let d money she spent on recreating herself waste.

(AP) -- Prosecutors have charged a 62-year-old man in the fatal shooting of his 72-year-old mother-in-law at her home in Livingston County's Brighton Township. Michigan State Police arrested Americo DeCiantis Jr. on Sunday. The Madison Heights man was jailed without bond after his arraignment Monday on charges of open murder, larceny and felony firearm.
The arrest followed more than six weeks of investigation into the death of Louise Marie DeRosia, a widow whose daughter, Linda, is married to DeCiantis. Authorities say they believe DeRosia was killed Jan. 25. Another of her four daughters, Deborah, found her body the next day after
Eastpointe police told relatives that DeRosia's cell phone and wallet had been found outside a White Castle restaurant in the Macomb County community. Investigators haven't determined a motive in DeRosia's death.

There's no Nokia Android phones, not even one.
I however, can't tell if Nokia will release an Android phone but that seems very unlikely to happen.

Hi Magamaruva,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Nokia forum!
Nokia supports S40, S60, Symbian and Windows as an operating system. Android is not supported.
We do have several Dual SIM devices available such as the Asha 202 and Asha 305, please have a look at your local Nokia web page to see which Dual SIM devices are sold in your country.
Hope this clears things up.
2012-07-04 12:59
2012-07-04 13:05
Have a look here for all available applications for the Asha 305. Don't forget to set your device in the left top corner first.
2012-07-04 14:36
what is its' os? is it Symbia S60 or S40?
2012-07-04 14:42
The Asha 305 runs on Symbian S40.
2012-07-04 14:45
is it better than s60?
2012-07-04 14:53
Have a look at the difference here ...
2012-07-04 15:00
yeah i got it. does it has a touch pen? or is it working only for finger touch?
2012-07-04 15:10
Does Nokia Asha 503 has a touch pen or it only work for finger touch?
2012-07-04 15:15
Hi Magamaruva,
For any further detailed information, please contact your local Care line instead. You can also have a look at the Asha 305 specifications page.

2012-07-04 16:43
2012-07-04 23:00
I have to clarify that the Asha 305 uses Series 40 platform (which is based on Nokia OS, and has nothing to do with Symbian). And the device is capable of running Java (J2ME) applications and Series 40 Web Apps.
You can also refer to this page for details extra details, in addition to the Nokia.com specs page that was mentioned earlier.
2012-08-23 4:55
It works with stylus other than finger touch though Nokia do not provide a touch pen / stylus. Touch screen works faster & better compared to Nokia 5800 as per my experience.

John the Baptist spent his short ministry traveling throughout the region preaching a baptism for repentance—that is, a 180-degree change in one's thinking and conduct. Throngs of people, attracted by his message, journeyed into the wilderness to be baptized and forgiven of their sins.
John's preaching drew a following large enough to attract the attention of the religious leaders of the day. The Temple priests and Levites went out to question him, asking if he were the Messiah. Some may have feared he was just another terrorist leader in the making, someone who would cause trouble and bring the wrath of Rome upon the land.
John's answer was plain: "I am not the Christ."
When pressed further to explain who he was, John replied, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, as written in the book of Isaiah: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight. Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. And the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways will be made smooth. And all mankind will see the salvation of God.'"
John the Baptist had come
"in the power and spirit of Elijah" to proclaim the First Coming of Christ's arrival. Speaking of Christ, John declared, "There cometh One mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose" (Mark 1:7).
God's Word plainly teaches that baptism must be preceded by repentance
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38
and belief
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mark 16:16;
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
16:32: And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
16:33: And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. Acts 16:31,33).
Upon repentance, the blood of Christ cleanses one of past sins. Baptism involves being entirely submerged underwater as a symbol of acknowledging one's sins. When baptized, one figuratively dies with Jesus, our Savior, in a "watery grave"—which typifies the death of the old self and the emergence of a new person with a new life. Rising out of that "grave" is symbolic of the resurrection of the dead; we live a new (righteous) life through Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit actively at work within us
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Rom. 6:4
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Rom. 8:9
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal. 2:20.
The New Testament is not the first place baptism is found in the Bible. Rather, God used this symbol thousands of years before John the Baptist was born. Noah's deliverance from the Flood—a watery grave for the sinful world—represented deliverance from the penalty of sin through baptism
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 3:21: The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: (I Peter 3:20-21).
And Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage through the Red Sea was also considered a type of Christian baptism
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 10:2: And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (I Cor. 10:1-2).
In both events, at the Flood of Noah's time and at the Red Sea, God miraculously delivered His people who looked to and trusted in His deliverance.
Water baptism also requires faith in Christ—faith in His sacrifice, which wipes clear the past sins of the repentant believer. Noah acted on his faith in managing the giant project of building the ark. Moses instructed Israel to move forward to the sea and obeyed God's instruction to lift up his rod to cause the sea to divide. The truly repentant believer must also act in faith, trusting in the deliverance of Christ to cover his sins and "lift him up" to a new life led by the Holy Spirit. An active, living faith is required.
When the time came for Jesus to start His ministry, John the Baptist was told how he was to recognize the Christ when he would baptize Him at a future time. The baptism of John symbolized the outward expression of sincere genuine repentance of those who would be convicted by the message he preached.
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Luke 1:77
states John the Baptist came "to give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins." His ministry focused on the first step of salvation, preparing a people for Christ's arrival. They did not receive the Holy Spirit; Jesus had not yet been resurrected and glorified so He could not send forth the Spirit according to God's Plan
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) (John 7:39).
Jesus came to His cousin to be baptized, but John was hesitant. He said to Jesus,
"I have need to be baptized of You, and come You to me?" (Matt. 3:13-14).
Christ never sinned—never broke any of God's laws. One of the purposes of His earthly ministry was to set the example for those whom God the Father might call into the difficult long-life journey of Christianity. This is why Jesus permitted Himself to be baptized. Also, His baptism foreshadowed an event that would occur three and a half years later: His death and resurrection.
As soon as He was baptized and received His Father's approval—
"You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Mark 1:11)
—Jesus, led by the Holy Spirit, went into the wilderness, where He
"fasted forty days and forty nights" (Matt. 4:1-2).
Matthew 4 and Luke 4 record in detail a monumental battle of wills between Jesus Christ and Satan the devil. The two engaged in a very real outright spiritual war to determine who would ultimately rule the earth and reign over all nations, kingdoms and governments!
To spiritually prepare for this great test, Jesus humbled Himself through fasting, denying His body food and drink for 40 days. Contrary to hunger strikes, used throughout history to gain sympathy from the public and essentially extort the powers-that-be to give in to one's demands, fasting is different. It is not a method to somehow "twist God's arm" into rendering a favorable decision, or impress Him with one's "righteousness," or gain His sympathy. Fasting—when done in the right way, for the right purpose—is used to lower the self in one's own eyes, to see himself as God sees him.
The Bible states,
"The heart [carnal mind] is deceitful above all things, and is desperately wicked" (Jer. 17:9).
Therefore, man cannot
"walk to direct his steps" (Jer. 10:23)
through life, making decisions that
"seem right unto a man, but the end therefore are the ways of death" (Prov. 16:25),
for "all the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes" Prov. 16:2.
When our stomachs are empty and begin to growl, we then realize that life is temporary.
"My days are like a shadow that declines," Psalm 102:11
states, "and I am withered like grass." King David wrote, "As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more" (Psa. 103:15-16).
When compared to the Great God of the universe,
"the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity" (Isa. 57:15),
this physical, chemical existence humans call life is less than a breath. While God has need of nothing, our physical strength and bodily existence relies on whether we eat. Fasting—denying the body food and drink for at least 24 hours—reminds us we are less than nothing in the grand scheme of things, and that we need our Maker and Sustainer to provide for all our necessities. This humble mindset permits one to be teachable and willing to suppress his will to readily receive God's direction.
When Satan confronted Christ in the wilderness, the first thing he did was try to tempt Jesus into eating, thus breaking His fast
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. (Matt. 4:3).
Yet by making Himself physically weak, Christ actually strengthened Himself spiritually. The devil tried to appeal to Jesus' ego by saying, "IF you be the Son of God"—in other words, "Prove it!" But instead of relying upon Himself, Jesus wielded the
"sword of the spirit" (Eph. 6:17)
—that is, He recalled the Holy Scriptures in His mind—and said,
"It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God" (Matt. 4:4),
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. Deuteronomy 8:3.
But Satan was not ready to give up the battle
.Matthew 4 records that he set Christ on a pinnacle of the Temple, and then quoted Scripture. Again, trying to inflate Jesus' ego, the devil said,
"IF You be the Son of God, cast Yourself down: for it is written, He shall give His angels charge concerning You: and in their hands they shall bear You up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone" Matt 4:6.
Yes, the devil can read the Bible. Satan is the master at misusing Scripture to confuse and deceive billions into blindly accepting easily disprovable false doctrines. He has long used false ministers as his human agents to carry out mass deception—religious leaders who seem to be sincere and truthful, but God's Word calls them
"false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness" (II Cor. 11:13-15).
Satan quoted
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 91:12: They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Psalm 91:11-12,
taking the passage out of context. Jesus understood this, and answered with God's Word rather than trusting in Himself.
"It is written again," He said, "You shall not tempt the Lord Your God" (Matt. 4:7),
Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. Deuteronomy 6:16.
The devil tried to tempt Jesus one more time. He took Him up to a high mountain and, perhaps primarily through a vision,
"showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and said unto Him, All these things will I give You, IF You will fall down and worship me" (Matt. 4:8-9).
This epic battle was about rulership. Satan knew Christ was destined to establish God's government on earth and rule all nations. In this
"present evil world" (Gal. 1:4)
of man's 6,000-year history, the nations, kingdoms, governments, laws, practices, traditions, systems, cultures and societies are influenced by and belong to
"the great dragon…that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world" (Rev. 12:9).
As the
"prince of the power of the air" (Eph. 2:2),
the devil broadcasts wrong attitudes, thoughts and emotions, which translate into perverse language and conduct in the lives of an unsuspecting humanity.
Before the universe existed, God created hundreds of millions of angels. Like human beings, God granted them free moral agency, permitting the angels the capacity to decide and choose for themselves whether they will obey Him.
God then created all the stars, planets, moons and galaxies in the vast and expanding universe. Millions of these spirit beings sang for joy, especially when God created the earth
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? (Job 38:7),
for they knew it would be handed to one-third of all the angels as part of a very special assignment. They were to live on the earth, led by the archangel Lucifer, and take special care of it. If they succeeded, they would eventually be given the entire universe to rule under God.
At first, the angels were happy about their assignment. They wanted to do all they could to make the world a beautiful garden paradise of peaceful meadows, green forests, sandy beaches and sparkling oceans. But as time passed (the Bible does not say how long; it may have taken millions, even billions, of years), something changed.
It all began with Lucifer. Full of wisdom and beauty, he was the most brilliant, perfect being God had ever created
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 28:12: Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 28:13: Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 28:14: Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. (Ezek. 28:11-14).
For a while, Lucifer obediently carried out God's commands and government on the earth. But, at some point, he allowed a wrong thought or attitude to enter his mind. Instead of removing it and replacing it with right thoughts, Lucifer allowed even more wrong ideas and feelings to guide and control his mind. He soon became full of pride
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezek. 28:15.
Instead of being grateful for the assignment God gave him, Lucifer had become bitter and angry. He had come to believe that he deserved more, that God was somehow "limiting" him, not putting his "enormous talents" to better use (and in the process, forgot that his talents came from God in the first place). Lucifer wanted more power, more responsibility, more "respect"—and he wanted it his way, not God's.
Lucifer's mind corrupted to the point he believed he knew better than his Maker—and that he was greater than God! Eventually, Lucifer believed he should be God! He reasoned that he needed to take God's place and remove Him from His heavenly throne
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 14:13: For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14:14: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Isa. 14:12-14).
Lucifer's perverse and twisted thoughts and attitudes led him to sin—to break God's spiritual laws of love and outgoing concern for others
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (I John 3:4;
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 7:13: Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. 7:14: For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Rom. 7:12-14).
Thus, he became God's enemy. Through lies and deception, Lucifer convinced angels around him to believe his way was right and that God's ways were unfair and unjust. In turn, those angels convinced others of the same lies, eventually twisting the minds of all the angels on the earth— one-third of the spirit beings that God created rebelled against their Creator
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. (Rev. 12:4;
Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: Job 4:18).
Led by Lucifer, the rebellious angels—now demons—invaded heaven to take over God's throne. But God—armed with the limitless power of His Holy Spirit, and backed by twice as many loyal angels—squashed the invasion. He cast the evil spirits back to the earth, and changed Lucifer's name, which means
"morning star" or "shining one," to Satan the devil, which means "adversary, accuser" and "slanderer" (Ezek. 28:11-19).
(Additional facts and description of Lucifer's rebellion are contained in others of our books and booklets.)
Ever since he influenced Adam and Eve to reject God's rule over them, and subsequently their descendants, Satan and his demons have had dominion over mankind's kingdoms, governments and systems. This world belongs to the devil—and man's carnal nature, which is naturally hostile to God and His laws
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (Rom. 8:7),
is actually Satan's nature!
The devil knows that His days as ruler over this perverse, rebellious, anti-God age are numbered. Satan, through Herod, tried to destroy Jesus when He was just a babe. As you will read in this book, the devil on many occasions tried to use his human agents to kill Christ before it was His time to die. And Satan used all his wiles in Matthew 4 to influence Jesus to go his way—but in all strategies he failed!
When Christ successfully defeated His adversary, He qualified to rule over the kingdom of God, the divine government He will establish on the earth to produce true and lasting peace, equity and prosperity for all!
Contrary to popular teaching among many churches today, it is God the Father, not Christ, who calls people to come into the Christian way of life
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. (John 6:44).
No one can take upon himself this calling—the decision is up to the Father.
At the start of Jesus' ministry, God called men from different walks of life who would become Christ's disciples (students), in training to become apostles. These 12 men received intense, and extensive, as well as often private, one-on-one training, which would prepare them to take the gospel to other cities, territories, regions, nations and kingdoms.
Peter: Born with the name Simon, Jesus later renamed him Peter, or "Cephas," an Aramaic name equivalent to the Greek Petros (Peter), which means "a mass of rock detached from the living rock."
Simon Peter and his brother Andrew were the sons of Jona
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 16:17).
He was a fisherman from Bethsaida, a native town on the western coast of the Sea of Galilee, in Galilee
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. (John 1:44,
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. John 12:21.
Simon, Andrew, James, and John grew up together as childhood friends, and later became fishing partners.
Though they had some level of religious training and were acquainted with prophetic scriptures about the coming of the Messiah, they did not receive any special rabbinical training. This is why Peter and John, when they were brought before the Sanhedrin, seemed to be "unlearned and ignorant men" in the eyes of the leading religious leaders of the land
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. (Acts 4:13).
Galileans had a reputation for being independent, blunt and impetuous. They spoke a peculiar dialect that seemed harsh and backward in Judea.
Peter and the other apostles were called to become
"fishers of men" (Matt. 4:18-19),
and ordained
"to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils [demons]" (Mark 3:14-15).
Andrew: Once a disciple of John the Baptist, Andrew was the first to follow Christ, and introduced Peter to Him
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. (John 1:40).
The brothers became Jesus' disciples after John the Baptist was imprisoned
And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 4:19: And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. (Matt. 4:18-19;
Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 1:17: And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. Mark 1:16-17).
James: He and his brother John were called Boanerges—"sons of thunder"—due to their boldness and intensity. Their parents were Zebedee and Salome. James was called the "greater" (to distinguish him from the other apostle-in-training who had the same name). He also was a fisherman
And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. (Matt. 4:21).
John: He may have been younger than his brother James. Zebedee, his father, apparently was a man of some wealth, since he could afford hired servants
( And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him. Mark 1:20)
and possessed at least two fishing vessels
And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. (Luke 5:3).
John, like his brother and childhood friends, was a fisherman on the Lake of Galilee. He was also influenced by the teachings of John the Baptist, becoming one of his disciples. At John the Baptist's announcement that Jesus was "the Lamb of God," John accepted Christ's offer to follow Him
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 1:37: And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. (John 1:36-37).
However, John and James temporarily returned to their fishing business before becoming fulltime apostles-in-training
And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. (Matt. 4:21;
And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 5:2: And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 5:3: And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 5:4: Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5:5: And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 5:6: And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 5:7: And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 5:8: When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 5:9: For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 5:10: And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 5:11: And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. Luke 5:1-11).
Peter, Andrew, James and John grew up together and became business partners in a family fishing venture. Upon being called, they became an "inner circle" around Jesus, to whom He privately shared His thoughts, plans and even a vision of His Second Coming.
Philip: Also native of Bethsaida
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. (John 1:44;
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. John 12:21.
He responded to his calling without hesitation, and brought with him Nathanael—or Bartholomew
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. (John 1:45
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. John 1:46.
He may have held a prominent place among the apostles, after Peter, James, John and Andrew
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; (Matt. 10:3;
And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, Mark 3:18;
When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6:6: And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. John 6:5-7;
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. John 12:21
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. John 12:22
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. John 14:8
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? John 14:9
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. Acts 1:13).
Bartholomew: The son of Talemai. Some believe that he and Nathanael
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 1:46: And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. 1:47: Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 1:48: Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. 1:49: Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. 1:50: Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. 1:51: And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. (John 1:45-51)
were the same person. Bartholomew was friends with Philip before being called.
Matthew: He was a tax collector ("publican") at Capernaum, the son of Alphaeus. He became one of Christ's disciples when Jesus passed the custom-house ("receipt of custom") where Matthew worked for Rome in collecting taxes that the empire levied on the Jews. The people despised publicans, since they willingly worked for the Romans. Matthew was originally called Levi
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. (Mark 2:14;
And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. Luke 5:27).
Thomas: Also called Didymus
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. (John 11:16;
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. John 20:24.
Since Thomas is always mentioned along with Matthew, the son of Alphaeus, when the apostles are listed, always followed by James, who was also the son of Alphaeus, there has been speculation that Matthew, Thomas and James were brothers.
James: The son of Alphaeus (or Cleopas), he is known as "James the Less" or "the Little."
Thaddeus: Also called "Lebbaeus" in the book of Matthew.
Simon: Also called
"the Canaanite" (Matthew 10:4;
And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, Mark 3:18),
derived from the Syriac word Kanean or Kaneniah, the name of a Jewish sect. He was also called
"Simon the Zealot" or "Zelotes" (Luke 6:15;
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. Acts 1:13);
before his calling to become an apostle, Simon was a member of the Zealots, a fanatical sect.
Judas Iscariot: It is possible that the name Iscariot refers to the Judean town of Kerioth
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families. 15:21: And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur, 15:22: And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah, 15:23: And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan, 15:24: Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth, 15:25: And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, and Hezron, which is Hazor, (Joshua 15:20-25)
or to the sicarii (Jewish nationalist insurrectionists). The Bible also calls this man
"Judas…the son of Simon" (John 6:71
And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; John 13:2,
Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. John 13:26.
The treasurer among Jesus and the disciples, he later betrayed Christ
And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house. (Mark 3:19),
and then committed suicide. Matthias replaced him as one of the original apostles shortly after Christ's resurrection.
With the apostles and many other disciples learning from Him, Jesus was planting seed that would sprout into the first century Church on Pentecost A.D. 31

Justin Barcia Update
Thursday, January 24, 2013 | 3:15 PMWhen we last saw Honda Muscle Milk's Justin Barcia, he was off to the side of the track at Anaheim with, well, a smashed face. He cased a triple really badly, and that was the end of his night.
Barcia's in Oakland right now for Supercross Press Day, and he called us with an update.
"I'm all good," he said. "Had to do a few concussion tests and things like that, but everything checked out okay. I just have a cut with some stitches near my eye, and some cuts near my nose, but I'm definitely 100 percent. I didn't ride this week, but I actually feel good because it's been a long time since I have had a few days off. And we'll ride today for press day so that will be good."
Did Barcia break his nose? "I didn't even bother getting X-rays, it's probably broken but it doesn't matter," he said. "I did the same thing last year at Millville and was able to ride with it."
When Barcia was approaching the triple that he cased, his bike was heard revving to the moon, so some theorized he had accidentally jammed it into first gear and didn't have the speed to clear the jump. "No, I actually just got a ton of wheelspin," he said. "I was trying to go to the inside and make a pass, and it just spun, and I didn't have enough speed to make the jump. I'm okay, though, I'll be fine this weekend."

The Conversation
Sounds like the young man is still learning some throttle control on that big 450.. I was wondering when some of that inexperience on the big bike would get him.. The veteran guys were talking about the throttle control that was needed on some of the slick West Coast tracks.. And there is another learning experience for Barcia...I bet it doesnt happen twice,, that had to hurt..LOL!!
@bd200,, hahaha, I think Barcia has "throttle control." That happens to everyone some time or another..
Tough kid, going to ride through a "probably" broken nose, I have had a couple of those and besides being hard to breathe, jarring it hurts pretty good...Good Luck Bam Bam no more Boo Boo's
I'm not sure "cased" is accurate in this instance -- more like he "faced" a triple. Case is when a rider lands on the crown of a jump or a whoop and the ground contacts the frame, right?
Also, if you watch Millsaps' GoPro (about 1:30 mark), you can watch Barcia block-pass Weimer. His explanation sounds about right as you can see he didn't have as much run on the jump, and got squirrelly to boot. Must've had a real "Oh $hit" moment when he realized he wasn't going to make it.
He is lucky that he didn't bounce sideways and get creamed by Weimer or Millsaps.
hate that moment when you hit a jump and you know right away that it wasn't enough, and you're going to case it. You stare right at the spot your going to hit. Its one of those "oh $hit" moments. Sometimes you let out a painful grunt before you even hit.
Thankfully his braced wrist made it out in 1 piece. That drop of nowhere can be an ankle breaker, too.
@b787tech ,, Don't forget about Tomac..
Glad to hear Justin will be ok and able to race this weekend. It would be good to see him and RV go toe to toe to the end.
Yep me too CZ, glad that wasn't as bad as it coulda been. GL Justin! *Ride that sob*!
Barcia has always been heavy handed with the throttle, but he seemed a little tamer and controlled on the 450 up until the last race; I'm guessing that in the heat of the moment he subconsciously slipped back into old habits and it bit him. First season mistakes, everyone has them.
He came up short on that triple twice-the second one was brutal. Glad he'll be there this weekend. He has been impressive so far in his rookie season. Grip it and rip it Justin!!
Re-watching the entire night for Barcia, he was not having his best night.
Not getting down the guy at all, as everybody has their nights. And I think he was most fortunate to get outta that place as in (one piece) as he did.
In hind-site, in my opinion, If you were a fly on the wall of the closed door transport or some other out of the, (public eye) location, I think he would have had to say the planets were not aligned in Anaheim last Saturday for Justin Barcia...
I am just glad to hear he's 100% (in his words).
"I didn't even bother getting X-rays, it's probably broken but it doesn't matter,"
That's what I'm talking about. !!!!!
@ LastbikeRM250, "faced it" is right. That was a heavy hit. I shattered my lower right ankle and have a plate and 7 screws in it from that exact hit. Did not crash, just did not have my foot evenly on the peg at impact. I pushed the bike out in front of me a little to get more room to absorb the blow.
I did not get my right foot all the way back on the platform, just the toe portion so at impact my toe stayed high, my heel dropped down and I crush fractured lower tib/fib. I helt the pop then the heat, two turns later pulled off track, went back to the truck and could barely get off of my bike.
Justin is lucky with that hit he did not brake a wrist, ankle, something!
Winning right out of the gate could be a good news bad news for a hoss like JB. Few hits like that will make a guy feel mortal real quick.
He's doin it JB style....http://youtu.be/0LFHFeJ0XaI .....sock it to em JB....off night...tuff enough to jump back on that pony an git after it jb style......Go RV 51 ,41...............T-mac g o n e...............
And there's the Ellipsis-happy one with the disjointed thoughts. Snore...zzz...yawn
BD200, That is the most ridiculous comment ever. Barcia just won in the most stacked 450 class a week and a half ago on a slippery track that everyone was washing out on (villo & canard). Think he has a little throttle control.
Hey Barcia punk, you keep interviewing like this and you may win me over as a loyal fan. Screw the xray, just get me back on the bike...thanks for not being a wuss.
Am I the only person that shifts up before I panic rev? Lesson learned with the 250fs
pmsl......dont you just love them "oh shit" moments......give it a hand full of throttle and just hope its enough 2 drive you out the landing!!!....
bam was lucky not 2 bust a wrist!!!
Welcome to the big boy class kid.
I'm glad you are sucking it up and racing this weekend.
No more bam bam for you or it will bite you in the ass.
Never doubted Barcia would sit out. He definitely has the "Piss and Vinegar" needed to succeed!
Love this kids story. Think back to those early honda commercials when he's talking about the horsepower, now here he is winning in the 'bigs' class. There's something bluecollar about him that is really compelling. This boy ain't no reality TV star, HE IS REALITY :)
Go get 'em Barcia!!!
I was just thinking before last weeks race, all the top guys have crashed hard, got injured, and came back, but not Barcia. Almost seems like a right of passage to be a man in the 450 class.
Right of passage. Nothing sux more than knowing you didn't get all of it and staring straight down at the place you're gonna hit. lol I thought I was the only one who did that. Closing your eyes doesn't work either. Actually, he did very well considering what it could have been. Made me cringe.

. . . but not in a good way.
The September, 2011 issue of Consumer Reports showcases their Protect Your Heart discussion. Third paragraph: "The website Track Your Plaque warns, 'The old tests for heart disease were wrong–dead wrong.' It says heart scans are 'the most important health test you can get.'"
They go on to expose the overuse of heart procedures like angioplasty and stent implantation and offer their advice on how to manage heart disease risk: lower BP, reduce LDL cholesterol, lose weight, stop smoking, take aspirin. They quote Dr. Paul Ridker who declares heart scans are not useful because the "deposits cardiologists worry about are the less stable plaques that CT scans routinely miss."
I thought I'd been transported back to 1995. Not only is it clear that the Consumer Report writers never looked beyond the homepage of Track Your Plaque, but somehow saw our heart disease prevention and reversal program as promoting heart procedures. Incredible.
Of course, the Track Your Plaque program does the exact opposite: Advocates an approach that virtually eliminates the need for procedures and returns control over heart disease to the participant. That's a critical difference.
And, as I've had to remind my colleagues time and time again, what we are really after is an index of total coronary atherosclerotic plaque. Even in 2011, that index remains the simple coronary calcium score, a gauge of total plaque, not just of "hard," stable plaque. Perhaps in 10 years we will be using a better tool to gauge progression and regression of all the components of coronary atherosclerotic plaque, but today it remains the simple, accessible, mammogram-like coronary calcium score.
Consumer Reports does for the idea of heart disease prevention what food manufacturers do for health and weight loss: Echo conventional wisdom of the sort that generally makes us fatter, more diabetic, leads us to more heart procedures and needless deaths. I might use Consumer Reports to rate MP-3 devices or toasters, but I certainly would not rely on them for insightful health advice.

Why can't I enjoy it like I used to enjoy it?
I remember the good old days when I would head to my friends house, we'd smoke out and it'd be nothing but laughs and jokes!
Every time I smoke now I just get consumed by my own thoughts. I'm not as social or talkative as I used to be whenever I would toke up with my friends! I just feel out of place whenever I smoke now. Anyone out there can can relate to me?
Been there. i went through phases from smoking weed my first couple years. after that, i kind of stay on one phase but i still love getting high. it's just part of dat high life life-cycle.
what do you mean raylo?
iono its funny that u took that pic with instagram it basically defeats the purpose of even taking a picture because what people look for is color n shit.
im so geared up on coffeeeeee
i tried to use a filter to make the color come out a little more but not change it so its off... i can post a photo without a filter if you'd like... i also used a macro lens.
how about a photo of your tits?

Lipodissolve, Melbourne
- anonymouscapii
- updated 1 year ago
I'm getting my procedure done with Dr David...
- 29 Mar 2012
I'm getting my procedure done with Dr David Powell Tomorrow, I'm a little anxious/nervous about the procedure. I'm not overweight, and I do both weight training and cardio training arund 4-5 times a week. My diet is fairly clean, consisting of mainly protein, good carbs and vegies. Despite the hard effort to lose my tummy fat and the stubborn fat in the thigh areas, it just doesn't seem to go away. For as long as I can remember, I've always had a protruding belly, so I look eagerly for something to solve my issue. I've been researching on and off for the past year and came across lipodissolve. The results seem to be 50/50 from person to person and depending on which country and which doctor.
Dr David Powell had been recommended on another review by someone named "South Melbourne" and she said she was happy with her results. Since it seems to be a procedure that alot of people are looking into, i thought I would start doing reviews from day 1. I'll post up a photo tonight so you guys can see the before and then compare it with the afters. Wish me luck!
Today was the first day of treatment. It's been 10...
- 31 Mar 2012
It's well over a week now, After the first day I...
- 9 Apr 2012
Ok, sorry it's been so long since I've updated....
- 1 May 2012
It's now 4.5 weeks after the treatment, you can still feel a little pain if you touched it deep enough into the area" and to be very honest. As much as I wish I had some sort of results... I haven't. And if you told the doctor I'm sure he'd tell you something like "Well it helps the process along if you did some exercise and ate lean and minimal carbs. So she mightn't have stuck to a clean diet with healthy regular exercise". Well let me clear that up for you.
I exercise, not just go for a walk or do a few sit ups a night. I have a personal trainer twice a week and train on my own atleast 2 to 3 times on alternate days.. My meals consists of Salads with minimal dressing, any sort of lean protein, mainly egg, fish and chicken and on very rare occasions (when i mean rare, i mean like once every 2 weeks) some sort of red meat. I drink only water and tea, and snack on nuts and fruit and I have maybe 1/4 of a cup of cooked brown rice with my lunch mon-fri. On weekends I have a few cheat meals.
And even though they give you an appetite suppressant after the treatment, I never used it because I felt my appetite dropped since the procedure anyway.
And what makes me wonder is, alot of people who go and get the procedure done are normally not very active people, so OF COURSE if they started exercising and eating a little leaner, changing up their diet a little would help them lose weight. Whether its from the procedure or not, it's actually inevitable. People with higher body fat content loses weight much quicker than people with a lower body fat content. Also remember, i went there to lose the last bits of fat that i can't seem to get rid of with exercise and diet and even that tiny little amount isn't really coming off after the procedure. Maybe I need more than 1 procedure? However, Dr Powell insisted that I only had very minimal to lose so I only need to undergo 1 procedure..
So far, looking at my results, I would say its not really worth $750.00 for the 1 procedure. But alot of people have reported they only started seeing results after 6 - 8 weeks from the day of treatment. So for now, I would stick to undecided and give them the benefit of the doubt.
I want to make this review as real and as raw as possible to help those who are considering this procedure, because I know I really needed it prior to getting the treatment done.
Hope this helps. I'll check in again in 1.5 weeks time =)
It has now been 2 months since the treatment....

I hope all this helped, and from now the only way that could help me is a really really clean diet and a really really strict exercise routine. Good luck with everyone else out there who are considering this treatment!
Great review?

There is a website, where you can name and shame a "doctor", whom is probably only a GP, a local doctor, who is so monley hungry he advertises himself as a 'cosmetic surgeon", well there is NO legal qualification, ANYONE can call them selves one. BEWARE of any dermatologist who calls themselves this, there is one that works in Armadale,Mlebourne, Victoria, Australia, who is only a pimple and rash doctor and advertises 'cosmetic surgey". Be very afraid !!

I had liquid lipo 6 weeks ago and was going to get lipo dissolve to help smooth out the lumps that are usual in lipo, I'm more smoother now so I'll see. I am told that 6 mths is the max for final results. No with any lipo you don't see instant results because of the swelling. Still haven't seen my friend or spoken to her yet hoping to tomorrow

Went to see Dr Powell, only I chickened out due to i was still tender from the lipo i had and my friend went ahead and had her upper and lower stomach and her love handles done. She went straight to work and a few hours later ended up in hospital. I was shocked she didn't tell me till almost a week later. I didnt see much improvement, today I spoke to one of her daughters and she wanted to know if her mum had lipo as well since she has lost quite a bit of weight. I'm going to go and see her in a few days and can't wait to see the results. This is now liposuction verses lipo dissolve... Mine was 6 weeks ago and I'm just barely seeing some results and she had it done 2 weeks ago? May 9th and already results. Lol I'll let you knew when I see her

The pictures on this page, are they the ones your referring to? Or are there others. You really didn't look like you needed any fat removed in the first place so I can't see much of a difference in the last few pics. Do you see a good difference yourself?

The ones i uploaded here are my only pictures.. I'll take some new ones at the end of this week. Honestly, I really don't feel or see much of a difference, i still have a tiny belly sticking out, which was my main concern and the only part i really wanted to reduce... I don't have alot of fat, but it's more narrowing down to the little stubborn areas. Good luck on your procedure tomorrow! Let me know how it goes! :)

Thanks for the reply I should be able to cover those areas, did it hurt much and if it did how long or days did the pain last. I'd be able to take a few days of but my work is a bit physical this is what worries me. Are you happy with the results?

I updated my review on the first of May regarding results, so if you want to take a look at that, hopefully it'll help.
As for the pain side of things, The major pain subsided after about 24 - 30 hours. It was mainly the burning sensation from the needles that was uncomfortable, and when they tell you it'll feel like a small bruise, well imagine 100s of small bruises in the same area... it really doesn't feel like a small bruise at all Haha But as i mentioned in my review, to help the pain, bruising and reduce the bloating, prepare a few ice packs, some for right after the procedure, so you can put some on it when you're driving home and then have some in the freezer for when you get home... I used about 4 ice packs in total, 2 on the day of procedure and 2 the day after... If you're doing it between the thighs like I did, you'd find it painful to walk for the first 2 days and then it'll get better. Hence I think my best decision was having the procedure done on a Saturday. They tell you that they have in the formula a little bit of anesthetic to numb the pain, but trust me I wish I didn't go by their word... I took a strong painkiller on the day, ones the pharmacists recommended for me for dental appointments and it makes you a little drowzy... I really should've bought numbing cream as well cos the needles isn't just a "small sting", it really hurt (even after taking painkillers)... As much as they say its only 15mins... during it, you're wishing it'll finish... I don't mean to be so descriptive, but I want you to go into it fully aware of what you're in for.
So to sum that all up. Prepare some ice packs, take a pain killer before your appointment, buy some numbing cream from the pharmacy put it on prior to the procedure in the areas to be treated and drink plenty of water before and after the procedure..
You'd feel lethargic the first day or so.. I did go back to the gym on the Tuesday though, so I let my body rest for about 2.5 days then went back to my normal routine~ After the 2nd day, the pain is bearable enough to go back to normal physical activities. I'm not a cardio fanatic, so when i mean i went back to the gym, my Personal Trainer normally makes me do weights at around 20Kg and up... so I think if I could cope with it, then anyone else should be able to as well :) Hope that helped!
