God the Holy Spirit: His Ministry.Index Intro 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 The law dispensation continued to the very hour of the death of Christ ( Joh_1:17; Gal_3:14), and since the present peculiar and varied ministries of the Spirit could not have begun until the Pentecostal advent, there is imperative need that the relationships belonging to the past age shall in no wise be made the basis of doctrine which is applicable to this age. The experience of the disciples and the relationships which obtained before the death of Christ contribute little to the precise form of "present truth" (2Pe_1:12). It is therefore obvious that no other believers of this dispensation are called to the same progressive experience as that of the disciples; but, on the contrary, the experience of all other believers will, of necessity, be wholly within the limits of that which characterizes the present age. The present ministries of the Spirit, taken together, form a perfect system, or whole, which is wonderfully adjusted to the peculiar facts of salvation by grace and the believer's life under grace. The day of Pentecost with all its provisions for this age has "fully come" (Act_2:1), and that day marks the new grace-ministries of the Spirit. These are seven:I. AS THE ONE WHO RESTRAINS THE WORLD The fact and force of this ministry rests upon but one passage of Scripture, in which the Spirit is said to be restraining the lawlessness of the world until He (the Restrainer) be taken out of the way ( 2Th_2:7). It is believed that the Spirit is the Restrainer since the restraining work is evidently undertaken by one of the Persons of the Godhead and the Spirit is the active power of God in the world during this age. The context indicates that Satan's supreme manifestations which are to be permitted in the Great Tribulation are now restrained by the Spirit until the Spirit shall have finished His work in the world and is taken out of the way.II. AS THE ONE WHO REPROVES THE WORLD Again the scope of an important ministry of the Spirit is limited to the statement of one passage ( Joh_16:7-11). This ministry likewise is to the whole world. The reproving of the world is more than a mere deepening of personal sorrow for sin; it is an indivisible threefold enlightenment of the Satan-blinded mind (2Co_4:3-4) in respect to sin, righteousness, and judgment. The sin is that of unbelief in the Saviour, the righteousness is that righteousness which is from God and is upon all who believe (Rom_1:16-17; Rom_3:22; Rom_4:5), the judgment is that finished work of Christ which is past, whereby He suffered in our place. By His reproving ministry, the Spirit causes the unsaved individual who is blinded by Satan to comprehend these three vital facts in the Gospel relative to the divine provisions for the lost.III. AS THE ONE WHO REGENERATES By the regenerating power of the Spirit, the one who exercises saving faith in Christ passes immediately from spiritual death to spiritual life, is made a partaker of the divine nature, Christ is begotten in him the hope of glory, God legitimately becomes his Father, and he becomes the legitimate child of God, an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ. IV. AS THE ONE WHO INDWELLS This ministry of the Spirit, which was the theme of the last chapter, is one of the most vital facts concerning the Christian ( Joh_7:37-39; Rom_5:5; Rom_8:9; 1Co_2:12; 1Co_6:17; Gal_4:6).V. AS THE ONE WHO BAPTIZES Not only is the divine life in the believer through the indwelling Spirit, but the believer is so vitally joined to the Lord by the baptism with the Spirit ( 1Co_12:13; 1Co_6:17; Gal_3:27) that he is said to be "in Christ." To be in Christ is to have been taken out of the old creation in Adam and placed eternally in the new Creation in Christ (2Co_5:17). Christ becomes the new Federal Head and all that Christ is or has done is imputed to the believer. As a branch is grafted into the vine, or a member might be joined to a body, so the believer is vitally joined to Christ by the baptism with the Spirit. According to Scripture usage, that which has power to receive into itself, to impart its own qualities, or to exercise a controlling influence, has power to baptize, and such baptism is never a "dipping into," but rather secures an abiding position and union. The believer is brought eternally under the limitless influence of Christ by the baptism with the Spirit, and the baptism with the Spirit being a part of salvation is common to all believers. The baptism with the Spirit is the theme of the following chapter.VI. AS THE ONE WHO SEALS Every child of God has been sealed by the Spirit unto the day of redemption ( 2Co_1:22; Eph_1:13; Eph_4:30). The Spirit Himself is the Seal and His presence speaks of divine ownership and of eternal security.It may be concluded that the Spirit's ministries in regenerating, indwelling, baptizing, and sealing are ¦wrought for the Christian when he believes, and form the very structure of his salvation, and since these blessings are never abrogated they are never wrought a second time. VII. AS THE ONE WHO FILLS The filling with the Spirit is unto Christian experience, power, and service. In contrast to the once-for-all regenerating, indwelling, baptizing, and sealing, there are many fillings ( Act_2:4; Act_4:8, Act_4:31; Act_6:3, Act_6:5; Act_7:55; Act_11:24; Act_13:9). According to the one great command (Eph_5:18), the believer is to be "getting filled" continuously. To be filled with the Spirit is to have the Spirit fulfilling in the heart and life all that He came into that life to do. It is not to acquire more of the Spirit, but, rather, that the Spirit acquires more of the believer. To be filled with the Spirit is to be a normal, if not a usual, Christian. The Spirit came to do all that He does in filling, hence He needs not to be implored; He is imploring the unadjusted believer to the end that every hindrance may be removed.The Spirit's filling results in certain manifestations: (1) Christ-like character -- the fruit of the Spirit ( Gal_5:22-23); (2) Christian service -- the exercise of a gift (1Co_12:4-31; Rom_12:3-8; Eph_4:7-11; 2Ti_1:6); (3) the Spirit's teaching (Joh_16:13; 1Co_2:9-10; 1Jo_2:27); (4) true praise and thanksgiving (Eph_5:18-20); (5) the Spirit's leading (Rom_8:14; Act_13:2; Gal_5:18); (6) the Spirit actualizing the unseen (Joh_16:13-15; Rom_8:16); and (7) the Spirit interceding (Rom_8:26-27).Spirituality does not consist in negatives only. We are not spiritual because we do not do worldly things. Spirituality is a vital output or accomplishment in and through the believer from the indwelling Spirit. In order to be filled with the Spirit, it is required that all sin shall be confessed ( 1Jo_1:9; Eph_4:30); the whole life shall be surrendered to him (Rom_6:13; Rom_12:1; 1Th_5:19); and that there shall be moment-by-moment reliance upon the Spirit (Gal_5:16).QUESTIONS 1. Is the experience of the disciples who lived in two dispensations and through the transition from one to the other a safe guide for the Christian now? 2. Name the seven present ministries of the Spirit. 3. Who is the Restrainer and what is His undertaking as such according to 2Th_2:7?4. Describe the reproving work of the Spirit. 5. What is the result of regeneration by the Spirit? 6. a. In whom, according to the Scriptures, does the Spirit dwell? b. By what other term is this ministry indicated? (see preceding chapter) 7. a. Into what is the believer baptized by the Spirit? b. What New Testament figures illustrate this vital union to Christ? c. Is the Spirit's baptism unto an abiding result? d. Who is baptized with the Spirit? 8. What does the sealing of the Spirit indicate? 9. a. What is the filling with the Spirit? b. In what particulars is this ministry different than His regenerating, His indwelling, His baptizing, and His sealing? c. What is the precise command of Eph_5:18?10. What are the seven manifestations of the Spirit which together form the Spirit-filled life? 11. Does spirituality consist only in the things a Christian does not do? 12. What is the first condition of a Spirit-filled life? 13. What is the second condition of a Spirit-filled life? 14. What is the third condition of a Spirit-filled life? |

Barack Obama starts another war in Libya. Where are all the anti-war protesters?

Barack Obama has taken the USA into yet another war in the Muslim world:
This is a REAL war...you know the kind where the military is shooting people.
Remember all the protests when Bush went to war?

+1People hated Bush because he spent too much money, people hate Obama for spending far more money. People hated Bush for starting Wars in the Middle East, now Obama is starting a war in the Middle East. People hated Bush for dramatically expanding the expense associated with Medicare through the Prescription Drug Benefit program and people REALLY HATE Obama for spending EVEN MORE (that's putting it mildly) by starting OBAMACARE.

- GOP Poison 2011/03/21 19:48:06+2If you want all of these wars to stop within 72 hours just re-start the draft.My solution would be that anyone in the congress that votes to go to war because it is a justafiable and good war should get the honor of taking ever son,nephew,grandchild,daughte... neice to the plane and seeing them off as they go to the front.When Mitt Romney was asked what his sons were doing for the war effort he stated that they were doing their best for the war effort by working to get him elected.After the election he was asked how soon his sons would be signing up and he refused to answer the question.I do not want to generalize but as a non commissioned officer in the army i always ask what branch of the military a person was in when they become become hawkish.Most just turn and walk away.NOTHING worse than a chicken hawk(no offense george}

+1Liberals are the DUMBEST PEOPLE IN AMERICA.
After the Arab Leuge called on the West to impose a "no fly zone" over Libya they immediately moved to take political cover denouncing the action almost as soon as it started due to civilian casualties (which are impossible to avoid in any military conflict). According to news reports the Arab League would have us flying our jets and helicopters without taking action to suppress Qudafi's SAM sites (surface to air missiles). It was the targeting of SAM's and radar sites which caused the civilian loss of life (of course) and without which it would be impossible to enforce a No Fly Zone without significant coalition losses. Enforcing a no fly zone while leaving Libyans air defense system intact would mean EU and American pilots would be sitting ducks for SAMS resulting in their death or capture and torture as they would be easy targets over enemy territory. This could lead to an escalation of the conflict as America would be called upon to rescue downed air men; According to the Arab League, it is OK for the Europeans and Americans to loose their lives to fight a war OPEC has called for but not OK to do so in a way that minimizes coalition losses. -
+1We didn't? We've run hundreds of bombing raids and fired several hundred cruise missiles into that country. What would we call it if somebody else did that to us? I'm pretty sure we'd call it war.
As for the UN, I do not recall agreeing to outsource our foreign policy to the UN. We have no business there. As for our "ally" France, they didn't see the need to "protect" us in Iraq, why should we feel the need to get involved in their foreign adventures? If they're so keen to get involved, let them do it themselves. - Mtnsweety 2011/03/21 16:33:48
- NATO is in charge of the US military?
You are carrying water for Barry like an obedient little zombie. -
We are apart of NATO , that is how we got in it. Our government in my opinion made a good choice by saying this is what we'll do and no more. No ground troops in Libya.
We have to protect Innocent people and enforce the arms embargo. -
+2Look.. I'm not even sure that I oppose the actions in Libya at this point but that's NOT the subject of this post..
The question raised here is about the double standard that continues to rear it's ugly head where the Left is concerned.. We ALL remember the continuous and never ending outcries of rage over the military actions of GWB and HE actually went to Congress and got approval for everything he did.... in FACT,, the Democrats under the Clinton administration was calling for the invasion of Iraq two years before Bush became President..
Take a look at the following quote..
"'The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."
Is THIS from Rush Limbaugh or Hannity???
No.. This is a DIRECT quote from Barack Huessein Obama in reference to GWB when he was running for President..
The hypocarcy here is STUNNING and Blatant.. -
+1I agree with SENATOR Obama. It is disgusting that when Rand Paul read SENATOR Obama's statement and made a motion to have the Senate vote on it, not only many Democrats but also many Republicans voted to table it and not have to have a public vote on it. I was particularly disappointed in my home state of Florida's Marco Rubio whom I had high hopes for. This is just disgusting. The CONGRESS has the constitutional authority to declare war-not the President. They are spineless and shirking their constitutional duty for not calling Obama to account for his unconstitutional usurpation of power.
+1ONE more thing.. You have said that we got into this because we are a part of N.A.T.O. and AS such,, we are obligated by treaty to participate..
Today,, March 24th @ 3:00 PM..
Headline news.. NATO is only NOW considering taking charge of this operation.. We did NOT go to Libya at the behest of NATO.. We went in there and THEN asked NATO to take charge.. -
+1We are Nato. Nato doesn't move without us. The administration can't hide behind Nato. It was Obama's choice to get us involved. We did not have to be and he still can't answer what the exit strategy is, what our national interest here is, how long it will take and what the outcome will be. At first he says Daffy must go, then he backs off from that. If Daffy goes (and I wouldn't mind since he is a brutal tyrant after all) who replaces him? What do we really know about the Rebels? We do know some of them were with Al Qaeda-as was reported in the British press.

- Sweet Fang 2011/03/21 16:05:23
- KoAm 2011/03/21 15:45:39+4Didn't you know? Liberal presidents are allowed to start any war they want. For whatever reason they want. Hell, they don't even NEED a reason.
When a conservative president takes us to war, though -- no matter how justified -- he is automatically recast as the Spawn of Satan.
You see, the "anti-war protesters" aren't against all wars. They're just opposed to the ones that start when the president is a conservative. - GoNavy! 2011/03/21 15:02:01
- David 2011/03/21 14:31:23"Obama starts ANOTHER war in Libya"
Hardly an accurate statement!
Bush started Iraq and Afghanistan!
Besides the French began this based on a humanitarian resolution to stop a dictator massacring the citizens of his country!
As far as the US and the UN are concerned this is an operation with very limited goals.
If Bush had the intelligence to do the same our economy would be a lot better situation! -
- Angus 2011/03/21 13:49:01+4I believe we are all overlooking the most important question and that is the legality of Obama's actions. But before we do that I assume that we all agree that when firing missiles into a sovereign country they are considered an act of war. That said,a declaration of war requires a 2/3 majority vote from congress. I am certain that such vote did not take place and that Obama violated the Constitution by authorizing the attack without congressional approval. This is an impeachable offense. Why aren't we doing anything about this? It seems the Anointed One can do what ever he wants.

Her tail flicked back and forth, he had kids. She was great with kids! That's the one thing that preceded her bad reputation: other than being a toy, she could double as a care taker for children of any age. She loved kids, even if some drove her up the wall.
Her ears perked up as the cab came to a stop. A maid was outside with the three triplets. Two of them smiled happily and bounced up and down in their spot, the other had a hand on her hip, looking mildly irritated. ------------- Axel took a sip of his drink, "It may seem impossible, but even the impossible can be done. I have heard through the grapevine, that many of the masters fall for their concubines. They even go out of their way to lavish them with gifts they otherwise wouldn't do for their wives or husbands." He ran a hand through his hair, "But... the first thing to do with getting the laws changed is taking the smallest law and working up to the biggest one." ------------- Aza peeked into her room and nodded, it was a little better than most places she was supposed to sleep in. |
"I know," Mara said, drinking her coffee slowly. "I just like to dream sometimes, for example, of one day humans being able to marry halfbreeds."
~~~ Caramel brought the others into the sitting room, then invited them to sit down. "I think I'd better bring you up to speed on the situation," she said. "You won't like it, but better to know now rather than later. This place, on the face of it, is a club with dancing and singing acts. It's the other part of it which is the problem. Declan likes to hire out his acts to clients after the shows. Don't even try to escape, cuz you won't. He only keeps me around cuz I act as a den mother to the halfbreeds here." She sat back against the cushions of the sofa. "Any questions?" |
Emily scowled. "What about that creepy guy who was leering at Connor? The- the owner's son? I don't want him near my brother," she said, her brother's hand held within her own. Though she was physically the shorter of the two, she sat taller and quite clearly had all the authority and was as protective as any mother.
The cabby driver hopped down and opened the door. Sanctuary, as the last in, would also be the first out. |
Connor shivered and huddled closer to Emily.
Caramel sighed, heavily. "That's Anthony," she replied. "It seems as tho he's singled out your brother for his own personal fun. You won't be able to stop him, so don't even try. Declan and Anthony both have unpleasant ways of getting their own way." |
Axel nodded and ran a hand through his hair, "As I said, tackle the smaller objectives then the bigger."
------------- Aza gracefully sat down, crossing one leg over the other, "I knew escaping wasn't an option." She twirled a lock of hair around her finger, "What if the client treats us a little too rough, what do we do?" She turned to Emily then looked over to Connor, poor kid. He didn't deserve this. ------------- Sanctuary stepped out of the cab and was immediately hugged by two of the children. "Are you our new babysitter?" The one with pure white hair asked, large baby blues blinking up at her. "She must be! Why else would father bring her?" The second child asked, her hair a strange mix between black and white. |
Emily scowled and rubbed Connor's arms; he'd always been so delicate, no way he could handle being used like that... But what could she do?
Wolfgang smiled down at his children, his dark eyes glowing with happiness. "Ya, she is your new sitter! She has good reputation viz children." While he mostly didn't care what Sanctuary thought of the arrangement -this was her last hope, after all- he still looked to see how she'd react to the news. |
Caramel shrugged. "If a client treats you roughly, then tell Declan. I know for a fact that he'd do something about it, simply cuz if the material is damaged then it can't make him any money."
Connor was mute with terror. He hid his face, turning away from the others. |
Aza nodded, "Thank you, that's all I need to know at the moment." She ran a claw through her hair. "As for Connor, isn't there a way for at least someone to watch him?"
------------- Sanctuary smiled down at them and kneeled, "My name is Sanctuary." Her ears twitched and tail moved back and forth. The first child smiled up at her and giggled, "I'm Anabelle and this is Cassidy and all the way back there is Belle!" He smiled. Cassidy giggled. Belle flipped her hair. |

Effects of spatial coherence in diffraction phase microscopy |
Optics Express, Vol. 22, Issue 5, pp. 5133-5146 (2014)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1731 KB)
Quantitative phase imaging systems using white light illumination can exhibit lower noise figures than laser-based systems. However, they can also suffer from object-dependent artifacts, such as halos, which prevent accurate reconstruction of the surface topography. In this work, we show that white light diffraction phase microscopy using a standard halogen lamp can produce accurate height maps of even the most challenging structures provided that there is proper spatial filtering at: 1) the condenser to ensure adequate spatial coherence and 2) the output Fourier plane to produce a uniform reference beam. We explain that these object-dependent artifacts are a high-pass filtering phenomenon, establish design guidelines to reduce the artifacts, and then apply these guidelines to eliminate the halo effect. Since a spatially incoherent source requires significant spatial filtering, the irradiance is lower and proportionally longer exposure times are needed. To circumvent this tradeoff, we demonstrate that a supercontinuum laser, due to its high radiance, can provide accurate measurements with reduced exposure times, allowing for fast dynamic measurements.

Could it be that the automobile's luster has faded over the years, that cars have become less synonymous with youth and freedom to Generation Y? A study by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute clearly says yes, but that's not the whole story, Bloomberg reports. Though young people are buying fewer new cars, baby boomers, the crowd born between 1946 and 1964, are buying more new cars.

Hi, Was in cruise today and we had a tailwind of approx. 30 Knots, it was slightly bumpy but all of a sudden the tailwind suddenly dropped off and the speed tape rapidly increased towards the limit speed/clacker. There appear to be any increase in headwind or anything, just that the tailwind dropped off. The guy I was flying with said that the drop of tailwind was acting like a virtual change in energy, hence the sudden trend to over speed. Any thoughts on this, any explanation on why this occurs? Cheers

SunGard has acquired Softputer Technologies' FundBridge and NSARFiler solutions for financial and regulatory reporting.
The acquisition, the terms of which were not disclosed, is not expected to have a material impact on SunGard's 2013 financial results.
Softputer's FundBridge is a web-based application that automates the process of creating financial reports for asset management firms and third-party administrators. FundBridge's automation helps ensure that these firms have the accurate and timely data needed to produce the schedules, investor documents and compliance reports required for mutual funds and alternative investment portfolios. In the future, FundBridge and NSARFiler will look to support other reporting requirements, such as those posed by Form PF, Form CPO-PQR and AIFMD regulations.
Softputer's FundBridge and NSARFiler will become part of SunGard's asset management business and Softputer's current chief executive, Art Sookiasian, will join SunGard.
"Joining SunGard elevates Softputer Technologies from a specialist, niche software provider to becoming an important part of a complete end-to-end solution for financial and regulatory reporting. The expanded solution that SunGard will offer will help better service both the traditional and alternative asset management industries," says Sookiasian.
"The convergence of traditional and alternative asset management coupled with a growing regulatory environment has resulted in our customers seeking more efficient tools in order to ensure compliance. Softputer's FundBridge and NSARFiler are logical extensions to our asset management offerings, which will help firms establish a more automated process around the data requirements for financial reporting," says Doug Morgan, president of SunGard's institutional asset management business.

1959 Jaguar XK150 news, pictures, specifications, and information
The most elegant Jaguar Sport Car, wîth only 1903 examples ever built between 1958 thru 1961. This 1959 Jaguar XK150 Drop Head is a superb is a rare model that is fast becoming the most sought after XK Jaguar. With its beautiful creme paint and new Connolly leather interior and new black mohair hood, this XK150 'Drop head' is a beauty.
The 'S' designates this car as a Special Equipment Model wîth twin exhaust and wire wheels. This example received a ground up refurbishment from a renowned Jaguar restoration facility. It was then brought to the 2007 Blackhawk Collection display at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance where it was offered for sale.

This vehicle is a very rare automobile, as only 72 of this model were fitted wtih automatic transmissions.
Several series of sports cars were manufactured by Jaguar following WWII. The previous models were the XK-120 and XK-140. When the XK-150 line was retired it was replaced by the E-Type, commonly knkown as the XKE.
Three body styles were offered in the XK-150 line: The Fixed Head Coupe (hardtop), the Drop Head Coupe (convertible top exposed) and the Open Tow Seater (convertible top folds behind the seats).
The famous XK engine is 210 hp and features an alulminum head with hemispherical combustion chambers (so Plymouth wasn't first with the 'Hemi').
The XK-150 was the world's first production automobile to be fitted wtih four wheel disc brakes. This is one reason they fared so well in racing.
The very first XK120 models had all aluminum bodies. Later models, such as this one only have aluminum bonnets (engine hood).

Production of the Jaguar XK150 began in the spring of 1957 and would become the last of the tradition 1950s Jaguars. Although similar in appearance to the XKE cars it was replaced, it was certainly a different machine. It retained the same basic chassis, engine, and Moss four-speed gearbox, but its outward appearance was different and wider and there was more interior room for the occupants. Four inches were added to the centre of the body making the extra width possible. A one-piece wraparound windscreen improved visibility. The radiator grille was changed slightly.
The biggest improvement to the vehicles performance was the addition of Dunlop disc brakes on all four corners of the car. The XK150 produced the same amount of horsepower as the XK140, so their performance was identical in terms of speed. The SE option added a modified cylinder head and larger exhaust valves which increased the standard 190 hp to 210. In 1958 the Model S was introduced which raised the vehicles performance even further. With the help of three two-inch SU HD8 carburetors, a Weslake-developed cylinder head, and high compression pistons, horsepower rose to an impressive 250 brining the zero-to-sixty time in just over seven seconds.
All of the XK150s were offered with an optional Borg-Warner automatic gearbox and a choice of either steel or wire wheels. On the S Model, a limited-slip differential could be ordered as optional equipment.
There were 2265 examples of the XK150 Roadster produced with only 888 being the highly-sought after Model S. This example has recently been restored which took over two years to complete. It has its original factory tool kit and fitted leather luggage. It was brought to the 2008 Automobiles of Amelia presented by RM Auctions where it was estimated to sell for $140,000 - $180,000. It is one of the few Model S Roadsters and its restoration brought it back to its original condition. Collectors saw the beauty and rarity in this car, and drove the bidding to $154,000 including buyer's premium. The lot was sold.

The Jaguar XK150 was introduced in the fall of 1957 and was intended to compete against the BMW 507 and the Mercedes 300SL. This was the third and final evolution of its series, and was the best and most highly developed XK ever built. In the spring of 1958, the high performance 'S' model was introduced. The XK150S featured a gold-colored, Harry Weslake-modified straight-port cylinder head that helped boost the performance of the 3.4-liter engine from 190 to 250 horsepower. It had improved fuel flow by the way of three larger SU carburetors and a higher compression head of 9.0:1 versus 8.0:1, plus more aggressive cam timing. The XK150S came standard with a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive.
There were 1,466 examples of the XK150S produced until 1961, with fewer than 1,000 being the Open Two seater configuration. There were just 361 left-hand drive XK-150S cars assembled.
This example is one of the 361 LHD models and wears an older but correct restoration. it has accumulated approximately 1000 miles since that time. It is finished in red with a black cloth top, interior and carpeting. It has a four-speed gearbox, chrome wire wheels, and its original spare, tools and factory jack.
In 2009, this 1959 Jaguar XK 150S 3.4 Roadster was offered for sale at the Sports & Classics of Monterey auction in Monterey, California presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $110,000-$120,000. The lot failed to sell after achieving a high bid of $100,000.

There were fewer than 200 examples of the 150S 3.4 Coupe produced. This particular example was constructed on January 12, 1959 and was originally shipped to Jaguar Cars New York. It left the factory painted in Pearl Grey over red and sold to Ray Milland of Beverly Hills, California. It is believed that this car participated in several local competitions, including the Valley Touring Society's 1963 Time Trials, the 1964 Litre Bug Twist slalom and the Santa Barbara Road Races held on September 6, 1964.
The cars next owner was Mr. Billeter who would retain the car for the next four decades.
In 2009, the car was given a nut-and-bolt restoration with no expenses spared. The car was completely disassembled and stripped to bare metal so that any necessary bodywork could be performed. Upon completion, it was painted in its original light gray livery.
The engine is fitted with the rare 'S' head and three SU carburetors. The dual overhead cam six-cylinder engine is capable of producing 250 horsepower which is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. There are chrome wire wheels and period-correct Firestone whitewall tires.
In 2010, this XK150S 3.4 Fixed Head Coupe was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was estimated to sell for $115,000 - $145,000 but failed to find a buyer willing to satisfy its reserve. The lot left the auction unsold.

In 1957 Jaguar introduced the XK150, a replacement for the XK140. The XK140 had been a replacement for the XK120 which had started the XK series with its elegant styling and impressive 120 mph capabilities. At the time, the XK120 was the fastest production vehicle in the world. The XK150 had many similarities to its predecessors but it featured modern styling and improved mechanics.
When the XK150 was introduced, it could be purchased in DropHead Coupe or FixedHead Coupe configuration. The Open Two Seater (OTS) Roadster version appeared a year later.
The base engine was a DOHC 3.4 liter straight-six that produced 180 horsepower. Most of the vehicles were outfitted with the SE version which had a modified cylinder head, dual SU HD6 carburetors, and larger exhaust valves bringing the horsepower rating to 210. Performance was further increased in 1958 when Jaguar enlarged the bore bringing the liter capacity to 3.8 and the horsepower rating to 220. The 'S' model featured three SU HD8 carburetors and a modified cylinder head bringing the horsepower rating to 260.
The XK120 suffered from poor steering. This was resolved by the adaptation of a rack-and-pinion unit on the XK140. The XK150 used the similar rack-and-pinion configuration, though still lacking power-assistance. The chassis was also similar to its predecessor. Disc brakes were standard on all four corners of the vehicle. The wheels could be ordered as Wire or as discs wheels.
Improvements continued in the interior of the vehicle. With roll-up door windows and door handles, the XK150 was more civilized. The longer hood meant the XK150 Roadsters were just a two seater unlike its 2+2 predecessors.
During its production lifespan lasting from 1958 through 1961, the Fixed Head Coupes were the most popular with 4445 examples being created. That figure was followed by the Drop Head Coupes with around 2670 examples. There were around 2260 Roadsters produced. The Roadster production figures would have been higher if they had not been introduced ten months after the Fixed and Drophead Coupe versions.
The XK150 continued the elegance and performance established by the XK120 and reinforced by the XK140. The long flowing lines of the hood gracefully curved towards the vertical grille which hid a potent engine that made the car legendary.

Carlton Payne might not have been named king of the homecoming court, but he was certainly king of the gridiron as his three touchdowns powered Liberty to a 32-14 victory over visiting Heritage.
Liberty hadn't scored against the Pioneers in the last two meetings between the two teams. That shortfall was rectified early. Payne hooked up with quarterback Tyler Bowyer on two touchdown passes in the first three minutes of play.

Indian firm launches shoes that show you the wayBy Annie Banerji, AFP September 1, 2014, 12:03 am TWN NEW DELHI --"Wizard of Oz" heroine Dorothy only had to click her ruby red slippers together and they would spirit her home to Kansas.
Now, an Indian high-tech start-up is promising to do the same in real life with a new, GPS-enabled smart sports shoe that vibrates to give the wearer directions. The fiery red sneakers, which will also count the number of steps taken, distance travelled and calories burned, will go on sale in September under the name LeChal, which means "take me along" in Hindi. The shoes come with a detachable Bluetooth transceiver that links to a smartphone app to direct the wearer using Google maps, sending a vibrating signal to indicate a left or right turn. They are the brainchild of 30-year-old Krispian Lawrence and Anirudh Sharma, 28, two engineering graduates who founded their tech start-up Ducere in a small apartment in 2011 with backing from angel investors and now employ 50 people. "We got this idea and realized that it would really help visually challenged people, it would work without any audio or physical distractions," said Lawrence in an interview with AFP. "But then we were trying it out on ourselves and suddenly we were like, 'wait a minute, even I would want this,' because it felt so liberating not having to look down at your phone or being tied to anything." "The footwear works instinctively. Imagine if someone taps your right shoulder, your body naturally reacts to turn right, and that's how LeChal works." Growing Sector Smart shoes aimed at specific demographic markets — such as dementia sufferers and children whose parents want to keep track of their movements — are already commercially available. But Lawrence and Sharma believe theirs will be the first to target mass-market consumers, and have focused on creating stylish rather than purely functional footwear. As well as the red sneaker, they are marketing an insole to allow users to slip the technology into their own shoes. "Earlier, wearable technology was always seen as machine-like, nerdy glasses or watches, but now that is changing," said Lawrence. They say they have 25,000 advance orders for the shoes, which will retail at between US$100 and US$150. Demand has so far mostly been through word of mouth and through the lechal.com website. But the company is in talks with retailers to stock the shoes ahead of the holiday season in India and the United States. It forecasts it will sell more than 100,000 pairs of the shoes, which are manufactured in China, by next April.

Friends, Family Remember Student Who Died In Bus Crash
Los Angeles, California (CNN) - Friends, family and faculty members gathered to remember a student killed in last Thursday's collision between a FedEx tractor-trailer truck and a bus.
A vigil was held Wednesday at Dorsey high school for 17-year-old Jennifer Bonilla. She was one of 10 people killed when a FedEx big rig slammed into her bus in Orland. More than 30 people, mostly teenagers, were taken to local hospitals. Bonilla had been on a trip to visit Humboldt state university with other prospective college students from 31 California high schools. The NTSB is working with local authorities to investigate the crash. |

Hill Country Live Presents
The California Honeydrops
"Though from Oakland, their Southern-fried jazz is so authentic that [audiences] may wonder whether they've been transported to the Big Easy."
-LA Times
"The album is a collective of feel good sounds and it is impossible not to tap your foot and smile while listening. Better than the individual songs, though, is the potential that the songs have for raucous live performances."
-DC Examiner
Digging deep into the roots of American music, The California Honeydrops embrace the traditions of Blues, Gospel, Second Line New Orleans Jazz, and early R&B. With stellar performances of traditional material as well as their own innovative music, The California Honeydrops get people out of their seats and onto the floor, dancing, sweating, and singing along.
Since their formation 4 years ago in the subway stations of Oakland, CA, The California Honeydrops have completed 6 European tours, spread honey on crowds throughout the US, and recorded 2 full length albums of original music, all without the help of a record label or major booking agency. Their secret? An irresistible sound that blends the energy and intimacy of a street performance, undeniable talent and musicianship, and the soul and fervor of a spiritual street parade.
Born in Warsaw, Poland, band leader and front man Lech Wierzynski began playing blues and jazz as a teenager at after-hours jam sessions in Washington D.C. After studying trumpet with Marcus Belgrave (Ray Charles), Lech continued his career after moving to Oakland, honing his craft with some of the biggest names in American music, such as Maria Muldaur, Dan Hicks, and Jackie Payne, allowing Lech to grow equally as a trumpeter, singer, and guitarist.
The vibrant rhythm section of The California Honeydrops is fueled by the unprecedented energy of saxophonist Johnny Bones (Eddie Palmiere, Nell Carter, Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums), and drummer Ben Malament (Terry Reid, The Marvelettes, The Jelly Roll Souls). Currently touring with The CA Honeydrops is Doug Stuart on bass, and Charles Hickox on keys.
See them perform once, and you won't be surprised why they were voted the SF Bay Area's "Best Soul/R&B Band". Nominated for "Best New Artist" by the National Blues Foundation (2009), and recently receiving 5 East Bay Express Reader's Poll awards (2011) including "Best Band", "Best Album", and "Best Musician", with a highly anticipated live album due to release in late 2011 and an upcoming East Coast tour, consider The California Honeydrops to be unstoppable!
"The California Honeydrops, from Oakland, are the most refreshing act to roll down the blues highway in some time. Few groups before them have melded so many strains of African American music into such a seamless whole."
-Lee Hildebrand, Living Blues Magazine, Livingblues.com

Portsea Polo
Why?Because horses and booze go well together.
Don your Sunday best and head to the seaside where Australian and International polo stars go head to head while we eat, drink and be merry. With the backdrop of the beachside behind you and all the action in front of you, all you have to do is find a sharp suit and pick a marquee. Cheers to that.

Magic Johnson was on the Jay Leno show Monday dodging questions about the lockout because as a Lakers executive he would be paying a heavy fine. Hard to blame him there.
But Magic was talking Metta World Peace — the Laker formerly known as Ron Artest — and it turns out Magic thinks he's a better dancer and is no fan of the new name.
"Ron, come back down to earth."
What fun would that be?

This coming from someone who answers to "Magic". I like Ron's name better.

Magic, he's still amazing even after all these years. I have yet to see another player who resembles Magic. Once in a life time player.

Can Botox be used for the orbicularis oris muscle? That particular muscle is too built up on my face and gives me a masculine appeal. I attached a photo of a woman who's muscle around her top lip is built up similarly to mine. It's the part circled in red.
Botox for Orbicularis Oris Muscle?
Doctor Answers 7
Unfortunately, there will be a very fine line between the amount needed for flattening the muscle and the amount of Botox that might cause your lip to droop giving you an unwanted smile irregularity, drooling, speech problems and asymmetry.
Web reference: http://www.thenyac.com
Botox can be used for vertical lip lines, but isn't always the best idea; I personally prefer hyaluronic acid based fillers like Juvederm. Since the orbicularis oris muscle is necessary for pursing, and other functions of the mouth, too much Botox can lead to drooling and problems with oral continence. I have never seen Botox used to create selective atrophy of this muscle and would not suggest it.
Botox(R) can be used for the orbicularis oris muscle. This is the muscle that encircles the lips and is predominantly responsible for pursing the lips, whistling, kissing and some of the function related to smiling. Nonetheless, one of the most common concerns about the lips is that of vertical lines, or "smoker's" lines. Small doses of Botox(R) delivered into the wrinkles can achieve some good reduction of the vertical lines when done by an experienced cosmetic physician. It is important not to use too much Botox(R) in these areas as it can affect overall function of the mouth, but small doses do an excellent job of improving these vertical lines. Thus, as far as the orbicularis oris muscle this is the major area that can be treated.

Sorry Fanny. I have never heard of anyone using Botox in the orbicularis oris muscle to decrease the bulk of the lip. I do not think that it would work and would not recommend it. You would likely need a fair amount of Botox, which will alter your ability to smile, etc.
Injecting botox around the mouth may not be teh best solution for you to reduce the volumeof the upper lip. A fornal exam would be important and an evaluation of your bony architecture as well as soft tissue architecture would be important.
Lip lines are best treated with fillers and peels if needed. I would definitely not use Botox for the concern you are demonstrating in the picture.
