April showers of San Diego record releases
...the latest from local artists
Jay Allen Sanford 7 p.m., March 29
Seeing Wyclef live will turn any fan into a fanatic. I have seen him break out into a tightrope walk on a wooden fence while rapping. I've seen him grab and play every instrument on the stage, do a backflip in the middle of a guitar solo, and play the guitar with his tongue. I've even heard him freestyle in five different languages.
So, when I heard he was coming onto my morning show as a guest late in '07, I was genuinely excited. Clef arrived at the studio with just one other person. He shook hands and individually introduced himself to everyone in the room. As my commercial break ended, I turned on the mics and started to introduce the former member of the Fugees, but he had other ideas. He began freestyling over the background music I was playing:
"Wyclef is in the buildin', early in the morning, drinkin Starbucks, freestyle king out of Brooklyn, I'm good lookin', when it comes to freestyle, crowds get shooken…good morning, America!!" This was not going to be an ordinary interview.
He talked about his early childhood in Haiti ("Fugees" is short for "Refugees") and his days of performing music on the streets of Brooklyn. We asked his opinion of the current state of hip-hop music:
"When I hear my nephews and nieces talking about Soulja Boy, I don't quite get it, but then again my uncle didn't get it when I was a little kid doin' 'the Humpty Dance.'"
Of course, we had to ask whether or not the Fugees would ever reunite, but we never anticipated that Wyclef would be so honest:
"Lauryn Hill is the best female artist I've ever worked with, but she is bipolar…. For me, her health is more important…. The people around her need to tell her the truth…. So, if she gets her health together, only then can something happen."
The man who is known as "the preacher's son" preached on for several more minutes before I asked him, "Will you freestyle for San Diego?"
"Give me a beat… They say I changed, ever since I got the wealth…I ain't changed, it's just hard battling myself, it's kind of hard when you're livin' in the land of the lost, ever since an intern I always wanted to be boss…. Matrix entertainment television, what's your vision for the next generation — less schools, more prisons, overpopulated the kids can't write or read, but they study hip-hop alphabets: Jay-Z, B.I.G."
He flowed so long, the beat that I was playing ran out. So, what did he do? He told me to start it again! He continued in Spanish. Then Japanese, then German, then French. I think I can safely say that everyone in the room had chills. After more than seven minutes, his flow came to an end. He got the only in-studio standing ovation I've ever seen in radio.

Topic tags/keywords: table saw blade question I am in the market to upgrade my table saw blade. I currently have a Ridgid 50-tooth blade that cuts adequately, but splinters plywood. I have a 100 tooth ply blade, but if the upper-level Freud or WW 2 blade will give me chip-free cuts in plywood I will get one soon. (I accidently cut mt Incra miter with the Ridgid blade a while back and while it still cuts somewhat fine, it is not cost efficient to aharpen it. So if I am going to spend $40 to replace it, why notpay a little bit more upgrade to one that does not have to be switched out when I cut ply.) God Bless, -- Saving barnwood from the scrapyards |

ive heard amazing things about the Woodworker 2 blade but if you don't have the 120$ to spend then i would go with the Freud Avanti. both are amazing blades though. |

I have the WW 2 Forrest blade on my TS. I had to cut a couple of birch plywood shelves and wanted to do a good job of it, so I ended getting a zero clearance insert. The combination of the blade and the insert, gave me a good splitter-free cut. I have read many reviews on the web and have seen as many discussions on LJ with saw blade recommendations. I don't think you can go too far afield with either the Freud or the Forrest. The Freud combination blades may be more reasonably priced and may be as good. You may want to do a LJ search for discussions. Rockler, sawmillcreek and fine woodworking have articles/reviews of saw blades as well. Good luck finding the right blade. Dalec |

Before you spend any money on a new blade try this technique when cutting plywood. Unles you're doing production carcass work, the few extra minutes it takes to apply the masking tape definitely should solve the problem. You may still have to use this techique even with a more expensive blade (I have a WW 2 in my Unisaw). Another technique is to oversize the plywood piece by 1/4" on all sides and clamp a straight edge along each side while you run a bearing guided straight cut router bit to cut the excess. This will also eliminate splintering, and you don't have to tape the edge you're routing. -- Gerry |

I've never tried the Forrest plywood blade, but I have 4 Woodworker II blades, two 30 and two 40 tooth. They are the best blades I've ever owned. The oldest one has been resharpened so many times I'm about ready to either have it retipped (80% of the new price cost) or get another one. I've used them to cut plywood with good results. If the price tag is too high for you, they will sharpen any blade using their process. I have a 80 tooth blade on my miter saw (Delta blade) that I had them replace a couple of broken tips and resharpen. It cost about $54. Your saw blades are just like chisels and hand planes, if they're not sharp, the results are not going to be very good. |

Marc, The WW2 gets top marks but I am using a Glue Line rip from Freud. I was given a Freud Melamine/ plywood blade by the guys a Wood Craft. It is excellent and I recommend it. -- Thos. Angle, Jordan Valley, Oregon |

I think at least two blades are in order here. I have a Freud 50T combination blade that gets a lot of use, but I don't like it as well for fine plywood. My Freud 60T type AB crosscut blade gives me an excellent cut in plywood, with only the slightest amount of tear-out. I have now added a Freud 80T type Hi AT crosscut blade that should do even better for plywood and laminates. -- "Heaven is North of the Bridge" |

I use the WW2 for hardwoods and plywood. I can cut plywood without splintering. The only time I have had trouble with getting chip free plywood is when the blade is dull. -- Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful- Joshua Marine |

The problem I've found is that after just a few passes, an otherwise fabulous blade will chip-out on ply. That's why they make scoring saws. So I started running ply over ANY blade with a scoring cut first. I know, I know, it sucks having to run it twice but it has totally eliminated chip-out for me. I've tried the masking tape too, but I prefer raising the blade for a second pass, it's less work and saves tape. Otherwise, right now I'm giving a good workout to one of those new Freud Glue-Line Combi blades. It's a 60 tooth .128" kerf [perfect for building my blade box] and is an ATB w/raker design. I am very satisfied so far. It retails for $100 but I found one for $50 on eBay. Sweet! I've also had good luck with DML, Amana, P-C, Craftsman, Oldham, Bosch and Rigid. The key is understanding that no one blade will be great at everything. I keep a combi on the saw but I can nab a finish, rip or thin kerf blade and swap it out pronto as the need dictates. Also, blades are like other tools, choose the best blade that you can afford and keep it sharp! I won't buy a blade that can't be resharpened. Also, get to know your sharpener, he can be a real asset and a great practical consultant. always, -- When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. -- John Muir |

I had the WW II for several years. It has done an excellent job. That said, I was given the new Freud Fusion blade. The test cuts I made with it are as good as any I can get from the WW II. Wood magazine recently did a review of saw blades. They broke the review into sections based on the cost of the blade. This review covered two issues. The first issue they did the review before getting the Freud Fustion blade. Then the next month included the freud. I highly recommend getting a copy of that article. pkennedy -- P Kennedy Crossville, TN |

Where it matters, I also make scoring cuts on plywood. -- Thos. Angle, Jordan Valley, Oregon |

I agree with Sparky. I've used Freud blades for years, but I just bought a WWII and after that I bought the flat grind blade. I'll never use any other brand again. -- Greg, CT |

I could not ask for a better company. The caregivers that care for my mother truly care about her and understand her needs. They take a personal interest.

Top, Top Kudos and Praise for Home Instead Senior Care, Virginia Beach. My family spoke with and hired Home Instead based on a family friend's recommendation. We needed help with our 89-year old parents who still live in their own home. For over 2 years one lovely, extremely competent and compassionate woman has helped our parents in the afternoons for several times a week. My parents LOVE her. We LOVE her. We have claimed her as our sister! She is beyond what any of us hoped for. She anticipates what they need need. She is gentle, loving and super competent. Both of my parents cannot say enough about her.
In August 2015, our parents - still wanting to remain in their house - asked for more help. We called Home Instead and spoke with the manager, about getting more help. She magically arranged a morning shift and an afternoon shift 7 days a week. It was effective the next morning! Two more fantastic support arrived and we have been incredibly impressed with these two women. We cannot say enough about their intelligence, skill, caring hearts, helpfulness and so much more.
It has been such a relief to be able to secure such caliber skilled workers from our parents. They deserve the best and nothing less than excellent would do for us. We got excellent care! They have assisted with meals, bathing, walking, laundry, shopping, doctor's appointments and more.
Because of the 3 caregivers, our parents can remain in their beloved home and we have peace of mind that they are indeed very well cared for.

I enlisted the services of Home Instead Virginia Beach and remained home from work on o e occasion yet, no aide showed up. I called the office and asked when the aide arrived at my residence and was given two different times. The office manager wasn't aware I was standing in my kitchen when I called and there was no aide at my house.
I also arrived home to find my Mother sitting in 9 hours of her own excrement. The aide admitted her actions to the Commonwealth. My Mother passed away shortly after discontinuing the services of Home Instead. Given these circumstances, I'm of the opinion that the care my Mother received was inadequate/improper.
happyreviewer January 28, 2014
I give them 5 stars but if I could give them 10 I would. We had other agencies come in for my boyfriend's Mom and although the caregivers were good there were problems that were frustrating. I would recommend H.I. to anyone. They are amazing, all of them. They are there everyday, even on a day when it snowed in Virginia Beach and we certainly did not expect that. They go above and beyond. They leave everything spotless in the house (I did not ask for any housekeeping) they tidy up her bathroom and the dishes that they use. They put her laundry in the hamper or wash it sometimes. It can be a challenge and they keep her clean as well as her clothes and linens. They communicate any problems and read the notes we leave for them. We always know what is going on (if she refuses care, doesnt want to eat ect.) They all go the extra mile.I am a nurse myself (I do not and never have worked for Home Instead) and will recommend them to my clients and their families. People should know how good these people are so here is my review. I always keep in mind that I am not perfect and I do not expect perfection but Home Instead is pretty close.

I hired the services of Home Instead Senior Care for my wife. I opted for them because they provided what I needed. The caregiver did light housekeeping and relieved me of the work. She was very friendly and knew what she was doing. She also had the patience that I needed. I was satisfied with the agency.

Nickname: Named for the Oil industry for sentimental and social reasons, in that it is the largest part of the economy and workforce in Texas, as many cities were found on oil. |
Historical Moments: 1960: Bud Adams, a founding member of the upstart American Football League hires Lou Rymkus to coach his team in Houston known as the Oilers. The Oilers are able to win a major victory for the AFL by signing Heisman Trophy Running back Billy Cannon; they also introduce a strong veteran influence by signing Quarterback George Blanda. After starting their season with a 37-22 win over the Raiders in Oakland the Oilers came home to Jeppesen Stadium where they defeated the Los Angles Chargers 38-28. The Oilers would go on to finish with a 10-4 record, easily winning the Eastern Division, as Lou Rymkus earns Coach of the Year honors. In the first ever AFL Championship Game, the Oilers defeat the Chargers 24-16 before 32,000 at Jeppesen Stadium. Leading the way for the Oilers is Billy Cannon who is named the game's MVP, and George Blanda who passes for 301 yards. 1961: The Oilers get the season off on the right foot routing the Oakland Raiders 55-0 at Jeppesen Stadium admit a hurricane warning. However, the Oilers would stumble losing three straight, before tying the Patriots in Boston to fall to 1-3-1. Feeling a change is need Coach Lou Rymkus is fired and replaced by Wally Lemm. In Lemm's first game the Oilers end their winless streak as George Blanda throws Touchdown passes and hits a 53 yard Field Goal in a 38-7 win over the Dallas Texans. A week later Blanda would pass for 464 yards, as the Oilers started a winning streak. The win streak continued through November 19th when Blanda threw seven Touchdown passes in a 49-13 win over the New York Titans. The winning streak in fact would continue until the end of the season where the Oilers went on to capture the Eastern Division with a 10-3-1 record, by winning their final nine games. Wally Lemm would earn coach of the year honors, while George Blanda was named player of the year. In the AFL Championship the Oilers would travel to San Diego for a rematch with the Chargers. The game would be a defensive struggle as the Oilers won the AFL Championship again 10-3. 1962: The Oilers would enter the season with a new coach as Wally Lemm used his perfect 9-0 record, to get a coaching job in the NFL. Under new coach Pop Ivy the Oilers would play shaky football in the first half holding a 4-3 record, before go on another season ending seven game winning streak to win the Eastern Division for the third year in a row with an 11-3 record. Facing their intrastate rivals the Dallas Texans in the AFL Championship Game at Jeppesen Stadium the Oilers, were in place to remain the only Champion in AFL history. However, the Texans would put up a strong fight as they game went deep into overtime. The game would end up heading for a sixth Quarter when the Oilers quest for a threepeat came to an end with a Field Goal 20-17. 1963: After a slow start the Oilers looked primed to take over the Eastern Division again winning 4 of their next 5. However, the Oilers would go on a season ending four game slide, and would finish with a disappointing 6-8 record. Following the season Coach Pop Ivy is fired and replaced by Hall of Famer Sammy Baugh. 1964: Under new Coach Sammy Baugh the Oilers get off to a solid 2-1 start. However, turnovers, and a poor defense would lead to a nine game losing streak that ended the Oilers playoff hopes. The Oilers would win their last two games to finish in last place with a 4-10 record. The season was not without its highlights as George Blanda attempted 68 passes in a 24-10 loss to the Bills in Buffalo on November 1st. Following the season the Oilers would make another coaching change replacing Sammy Baugh with Hugh Taylor. 1965: Originally scheduled to play at the brand new Harris County Domed Stadium, the Oilers at the last minute decide to play at Rice Stadium, when they reject terms of the lease. Without the Oilers using the new stadium it would be renamed the Astrodome. The Oilers get off to a good start winning their first two games. However, they would struggle again winning just two more the rest of the way finishing in last place again with a 4-10 record. After a season ending seven game losing streak Coach Hugh Taylor is fired, and replaced by Wally Lemm, who left for the NFL after coaching the Oilers to the 1961 AFL Championship. 1966: The Oilers get the season off on the right foot beating the Denver Broncos 45-7 at Rice Stadium, in game in which the defense did not allow a single first down. The Oilers would win again the following week to sit at 2-0. However, they would win just once more in their final 12 games, finishing with a 3-11 record, while losing twice to the expansion Miami Dolphins in a season ending eight game losing streak. Following the season the Oilers would cut ties with QB/PK George Blanda who as vital to their early success. 1967: Spurred by an improved defense led by Rookie of the Year George Webster, the Oilers return to the solid play that helped them win the first two AFL Championships. Allowing just 199 points on the season the Oilers would win the Eastern Division with a 9-4-1 record. However, the Oilers would be walloped by the Raiders 45-7 in Oakland with a trip to Super Bowl II on the line. 1968: The Oilers finally sign a deal to play in the Astrodome after working out the disagreements in the lease. The Oilers stumble out of the gate losing four of their first five games. The Oilers would go on to finish the season strong winning three or their last four games to finish with a 7-7 record. 1969: The Oilers get off to a solid 3-1 start, but struggle and play only mediocre football over the next 9 weeks, as they enter the final game of the season at home against the Boston Patriots with a 5-6-2 record. However, under a new playoff format the Oilers only need a win to make the playoffs. Trailing late the Oilers would rally and would enter the playoffs with a 6-6-2 record. However, the Oilers run would end quickly as they fell 56-7 to the Raiders in Oakland. 1970: The Oilers get off to a solid 2-1 start, but weaknesses on both sides of the ball catch up with them as they only win one of their final 11 games, finishing with a 3-10-1, as Coach Wally Lemm, announces his retirement. The Oilers would go on name Ed Hughes to replace him. 1971: The Oilers get off to a dreadful start going winless trough their first six games, before beating the Cincinnati Bengals 10-6 at the Astrodome. The Oilers would continue to struggle losing their next three games, sealing the fate of Coach Ed Hughes. The Oilers would win their last three games to finish with a 4-9-1 record, but Hughes was still fired, and replaced by Bill Peterson. 1972: After being blowout in their first two games the Oilers stun the New York Jets 26-20 at the Astrodome. However, the win would end up being the only win on the season, as the Oilers finish with a miserable 1-13 record, while being outscored an embarrassing 380-164 on the season. 1973: To say the Oilers season was miserable would be an understatement, as Coach Bill Peterson is fired after a 0-5 start. The Oilers whose record under Peterson was a humiliating 1-18, would be the led the rest of the season by Hall of Fame Coach Sid Gilman. However, not even Gilman could help, as the Oilers lost their next two games before beating the Colts 31-27 in Baltimore for their only win of the season, as the finished the season with a 1-13 record, being outscored 447-199 on the season. 1974: Sid Gilman remains head coach but hires Bum Philips to be the defensive coordinator so he could be groomed to replace him. The Oilers would start the season off by winning their first game at the Astrodome 21-14 over the San Diego Chargers. However, the Oilers would struggle losing their next five games, but this time the Oilers would recover by winning their next four games on the way to finishing with a 7-7 record. Following the season Gilman would step down, and let Bum Phillips take over. 1975: In Bum Phillips first season as Coach the Oilers finally played competitive football again posting their first winning season in seven years with a 10-4 record. However, all four losses were to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cincinnati Bengals who beat out the Oilers for the Division Title and Wild Card spot. 1976: The Oilers get off to another strong start at 4-1. However, the team's offensive struggles would catch up with them as they lost six in a row and seven of eight games overall to close out the season with a disappointing 5-9 record. 1977: The Oilers get off on the right foot again winning three of their first four games, which was capped by a 27-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Astrodome. However, injuries would hamper the Oilers chances as they lost five of their next six games. Once some key players returned the Oilers would finish the season on a strong note to finish with an 8-6 record. 1978: Spurred by RB Earl Campbell who wins both the Offensive Rookie of the Year, and Offensive Player of the Year rushes for 1,450 yards, the Oilers make the playoffs with a 10-6 record, qualifying in the newly created 5th Wild Card spot. In the Wild Card Game the Oilers would travel to Miami where they stunned the Dolphins 17-9 to advance to the Divisional Playoffs. After beating the Dolphins the Oilers traveled to New England where they faced the Patriots before 61,297 chilly fans. However, the cold weather would not bother the Oilers 31-14 to earn a trip to Pittsburgh with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. However, the Oilers run would end in disappointment as they are blown out by the Steelers 34-5. Following the loss the Oilers are greeted by 50,000 loyal fans at the Astrodome holding signs saying "Love Ya Blue." 1979: Earl Campbell continues to establish himself as the best Ruinning Backs in the league winning the Offensive Player of the year again while claming the NFL MVP, by rushing for an NFL best 1,697 yards, while scoring 19 Touchdowns. The Oilers would go on to finish with an 11-5 record, qualifying for the playoffs as a Wild Card again. In the first playoff game at the Astrodome the Oilers beat the Denver Broncos 13-7, but lose several key players including RB Earl Campbell, and Quarterback Dan Pastorini to injuries. Playing without Campbell and Pastorini in the Divisional Playoffs the Oilers backup would step it up as they beat the Chargers in San Diego 17-13, as Vernon Perry sets a playoff record by intercepting four passes. The Oilers would move to the AFC Championship game in Pittsburgh for a rematch with the Steelers. The Oilers appeared to have the game tied in the 3rd Quarter but Officials said Mike Renfro was out of bounds when replays clearly showed he got both feet in. The call would be a back breaker as the Oilers fell 27-13. Following the loss the Oilers would return home where 70,000 fans showed up early in the morning to greet them in another "Love Ya Blue" rally. 1980: Earl Campbell continues to be the rest runner in the NFL winning the rushing title again, and Offensive Player of the Year again with an amazing 1,934-yard season. His season was highlighted by consecutive 200-yard games as he narrowly misses a 2,000-yard season. The Oilers would go on to finish with an 11-5 record, as they had to settle for the Wild Card again after losing the division via tiebreaker. In the Wild Card Game at Oakland the Oilers were stymied by the Raiders all game losing 27-7, as their season is ended by the eventual Super Bowl Champion for the 3rd year in a row. However, Owner Bud Adams was not satisfied, and he would fire Coach Bum Philips, and replace him with Ed Biles. 1981: The Oilers get the season started with a bang as Rookie Willie Tullis returns kickoff 95 yards for game winning TD in final minute of game for a 27-20 win over the Rams in Los Angeles. However, the Oilers defensive problems would catch up with them as they finished with a disappointing 7-8 record, as Earl Campbell fights trough injuries to rush for 1,376 yards. 1982: After losing their season opener the Oilers beat the Seattle Seahawks at the Astrodome 23-21, as the Oilers season was frozen at 1-1 before a two month player's strike. When the season resumed the Oilers struggled, losing all seven games, as Earl Campbell is held to just 536 yards, as the Oilers finish the season with a 1-8 record. 1983: The Oilers get off to a miserable 1-5 start prompting head Coach Ed Biles to resign. He would be replaced by Chuck Studley but the Oilers would not do any better, winning just two of ten games under Studley, and finishing with a terrible 3-13 record. Following the season the Oilers would make Hugh Campbell its new coach. 1984: With hopes of improving the offense the Oilers win a competitive bidding war to sign CFL star Quarterback Warren Moon. However, with Earl Campbell in full decline, the Oilers decide to cut bait and trade the star Running Back that once dominated the NFL after a 1-5 start. The move would leave a gapping hole at Run ningback but it was the defense that was a greater weak spot as the Oilers finished with a 2-14 record, allowing 457 points on the season. 1985: With hopes of improving the running game the Oilers sign former Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier away form the USFL. However, Rosier would struggle, and would be limited to 462 yards rushing. Meanwhile Quarterback Warren Moon continued to struggle with turnovers as the Oilers continued to struggle, sitting at 5-9 with two games remaining when Coach Hugh Campbell is fired. Jerry Glanville would coach the Oilers in their last two games as the Oilers lost and finished with a 5-11 record. Despite the losses Glanville would earn the fulltime coaching job. 1986: In Jerry Glanville's first full year as Coach the Oilers get the season started on the right note beating the Packers 31-3 in Green Bay. However, the Oilers would struggle again losing eight straight games, and nine out of ten games, on the way to another dreadful 5-11 season. However, there were some bright spots Warren Moon despite throwing 26 interceptions showed some promise by tallying up 3,489 yards in passing. 1987: The Oilers show some promise while splitting their first two games before a players strike leads to the use of replacement players. The regular would eventually return as the Oilers scabs went 2-1. After the regulars return the Oilers won their first two games, as Warren Moon began to fulfill the promise he showed in the CFL, but after the Oilers lost three of their next four games their playoff hopes looked all but lost. However, the Oilers would win three of their last four games to finish with a 9-6 earning them their first playoff berth in seven years. In the Wild Card game at the Astrodome the Oilers battle back to beat the Seattle Seahawks 24-21 in overtime on a Tony Zendejas' 42-yard Field Goal. However, the Oilers season would end with a 34-10 to the Broncos a week later in the Divisional Playoffs at Denver. 1988: With a roster with eight All-Pros the Oilers have another solid season, finishing with a 10-6 record, to qualify for the playoffs for the second year in a row. Among the starters Bruce Mathews, and Mike Munchak who provided the foundation of a solid offensive line, Mike Rozier who scored 10 Touchdowns, Warren Moon who despite injury managed 17 Touchdown passes, and Wide Receiver Dew Hill who collected 1,141 receiving yards. In the Wild Card game the Oilers would face the Browns in Cleveland on a snowy Christmas Eve afternoon. The game would nail bitter to the end as the Oilers won 24-23 with Running Back Allen Pinkett scoring two Touchdowns. However, the Oilers season would end a week later with a 17-10 loss to the Bills in frigid Buffalo. 1989: After playing inconsistent football through the first eight games while compiling an 8-8 record, the Oilers win five out of six games to earn a spot in the playoffs. However, losses in their final two games would cost them the AFC Central Division Title, as the settled for the Wild Card with a 9-7 record. In the Wild Card Game at the Astrodome, the Oilers would play sloppy football all afternoon losing in overtime to the Pittsburgh Steelers 26-23. Following the season Coach Jerry Glanville would be let go and replaced by Jack Pardee. 1990: The Oilers season starts off on the wrong foot with a humiliating loss 47-27 to the Jerry Glanville coached Falcons in Atlanta. The Oilers would drop another game the following week, before winning their home opener over the Indianapolis Colts 24-10. However through most of the season the Oilers would toil around .500 despite an incredible season from Warren Moon that earns him Offensive Player of the Year Honors. The Oilers would win three of their last four games to finish with a 9-7 record, which helped them squeak into the playoffs as the sixth seed. In the playoffs the Oilers season would end quickly with a 41-14 loss to the Bengals in Cincinnati. 1991: Warren Moon has another spectacular season passing for 4,690 yards as the Oilers get off to a 7-1 start. The start was good enough for the Oilers to end 24 years of frustration, as the Oilers were able to finally win a Division Title. However a loss in their final game cost them a playoff bye, as they finished with an 11-5 record. In the Wild Card Round at the Astrodome the Oilers are given a scare by the New York Jets, but Safety Bubba McDowell intercepts to key passes inside the five yard line to secure the victory for the Oilers 17-10. In the Division Round in Denver the Oilers control the game all afternoon, leading the Broncos 24-16 midway through the 4th Quarter. However, John Elway would have one of his magical comebacks to deal the Oilers a heartbreaking loss 26-24. 1992: Despite losing Warren Moon to an injury most of the second half of the season, the Oilers are one of the top teams in the AFC again finishing with a 106- record, and qualifying for the playoffs. In the Wild Card Game, Warren Moon returns as the Oilers breakout to a 35-3 lead early in the 3rd Quarter against the Bills in Buffalo. In the first half alone Moon passes for 371 yards and connects on four Touchdowns. However, the lead would not last as the Bills came from behind to win in overtime 41-38. The loss was the biggest lead ever blown in NFL history. 1993: Following the disaster in Buffalo, owner Bud Adams gives players one more season to get to the Super Bowl, before he cuts baits and decides to rebuild. The Oilers would get off to a shaky start losing four of their first five games, culminating with a 35-7 loss on Monday night to the Bills in Buffalo. With their season on the brink the Oilers would turn their season around, as Running Back Gary Brown emerges as a new star rushing for 1,002 yards in just eight starts, as the Oilers won their last 11 games to win the AFC Central with a 12-4 record, earning a playoff bye. In the Divisional Playoffs the Oilers host the Kansas City Chiefs with hopes of making it to the AFC Championship. The Oilers would hold a lead into the 3rd Quarter, but another 2nd half collapse would see the Oilers season end again with a 28-20 loss. Following the season, the rebuilding process started with the trade of Warren Moon to the Minnesota Vikings. 1994: Without Warren Moon the Oilers get off to a miserable start losing nine of their first ten games before Coach Jack Pardee is fired and replaced by Jeff Fisher. Under Fisher the losing would continue as the Oilers lost their next five games, before beating the New York Jets 24-10 in their final game of the season to finish with a 2-14 record. 1995: With an eye to the future the Oilers draft Quarterback Steve McNair with the third overall draft pick. However, McNair would start the season on the bench behind free agent signee Chris Chandler. Chandler would play solid football as the Oilers showed improvement in their first full year under Jeff Fisher finishing with a 7-9 record. However, the story of the season comes on November 16th when Bud Adams announces plans to move the team to Nashville when the lease at the Astrodome expires in 1998. 1996: Houston fans express their displeasure with Oilers move by staying away in droves. Playing most of the season in front of crowds of less then 20,000 at the Astrodome the Oilers only win two out of their eight games at home. However, on the road they win six out of eight gamess as the Oilers finish with an 8-8 record. Houston fans would get a tease as Running Back Eddie George won the Offensive Rookie of the Year with 1,368 yards rushing for the lame duck Oilers. Following the Oilers make a deal with the city of Houston to break their lease a year early, meaning the season would be the last in Houston. The Oilers would end up losing their final game at the Astrodome 21-13 to the Cincinnati Bengals. After the Oilers left for Music City the city of Houston led by Bob McNair began making plans to get a NFL team back in Houston. Though considered underdogs McNair impressed NFL's expansion committee and the NFL returned to Houston in 2002 with a team called the Texans. |

Id had a few beers by the time of my last reply, which is probably why I didnt explain myself well. lol
Everything you wrote has to do with fuse ratings. Why you are bringing up fuse ratings, when the topic was different amplifier topologies react differently at a given impedance (so you cant generalize any specific impedance as sound bad), I have no idea. Nor do I know what "So, 2 ohms is obviously further from being a giant fuse than 1 ohm" means.
SoundStream use to advertise their "high current" amps rated power below 1ohm. Not really sure what that proves, however.

ASUS Announces 7" Fonepad
1 March 2013, 18:07
Site Staff
Posts: 12,553
CPU: Intel Xeon W3680
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970
RAM: 3x4GB G.Skill Ares
PSU: Seasonic S12G-750
ASUS has announced Fonepad, a competitively priced handheld with 3G voice and mobile data for all the features of a smartphone, with the versatility of a 7" tablet. Powered by a new Intel Atom Z2420 processor with Android 4.1, Fonepad features a vibrant HD display with IPS technology for wide viewing angles and outstanding clarity.
"It is ideal to have a larger screen with entertainment, social media and other online activities now playing an increasingly important part in our mobile lifestyles," said Jonney Shih, ASUS Chairman. "The incorporation of 3G mobile data with full telephony support, makes the Fonepad the perfect combination of a tablet and phone in one single device."
"Extending our long history of collaboration, including most recently on the Ultrabook and Intel-based tablets, we are very excited to be partnering with ASUS again," said Hermann Eul, Intel vice president and co-general manager of the Mobile and Communications Group. "Intel's new Atom Z2420 processor delivers the power, performance and flexibility required to accommodate a range of devices and market needs. We think the ASUS Fonepad is a very innovative device in an emerging category of 3G tablets with telephony features."
Beautiful Metallic Design With Intel Atom Performance
ASUS Fonepad is perfect for people who value both the voice communication features of a smartphone and the entertainment opportunities afforded by a tablet, but prefer the convenience of carrying just one device. Fonepad is a sleek and compact tablet with a metallic design that can be held comfortably in one hand, thanks to its light 340g weight and slim 10.4mm profile. Powered by the latest Intel Atom Z2420 processor with full Android compatibility, Fonepad features perfect balance of performance and energy efficiency, with hardware-accelerated 1080p Full HD video decoding and up to nine hours of battery life.
The 7" screen features 10-point multi-touch, and a crisp 1280 x 800 HD resolution for crisp, readable web page text and incredibly detailed photos. IPS technology ensures vibrant color with 178-degree wide viewing angles, and images that are clear and bright, even outdoors.

Thanks full 3G telephony support, Fonepad can also be used for voice calls using the built-in noise-cancelling digital microphone or a Bluetooth headset - and with just one mobile data plan to pay for, running costs are much lower than a separate smartphone and 3G tablet.

All models feature a front 1.2-megapixel for easy video chat and an optional rear 3-megapixel autofocus camera with 720p HD video recording.

Dear Patch: I was hyperlocal long before you
1:31 pmDear Patch: I am not your enemy.
I read your Evanston site regularly, and appreciate finding out what's happened to my favorite places when they suddenly go dark. I even like your "what's happening with this vacant storefront" idea. I've been bugging your competitor, the Evanston Review, to find out if it's true that the vacant Blockbuster building up the street from me is going to become a Trader Joe's. (They haven't published anything about it yet, so the story is all yours!)
I really am a big fan of hyperlocal.
In fact, I was hyperlocal nearly two decades before you launched.
In 1992, I started a biweekly paper in Milwaukee called The Public Record. The concept of the four-page publication was simple: One big feature (or photo-essay), and a list of every burglary and armed robbery on Milwaukee's "trendy" east side and downtown.
The paper was a hit from the start.
I'd go to coffee houses and hear people talk about burglaries in their neighborhood that they'd read about in The Public Record. I'd get calls from retailers who wanted larger drops because they quickly ran out of the paper and customers were asking for it. (I also got calls from store owners who didn't want "that crime sheet" anywhere near their establishment.)
Putting the paper together was fairly simple: I went to Milwaukee Police Headquarters a few times a week and picked up the daily crime sheets for police districts #1 and #5, which were my coverage areas. (I believe I paid a dime for each page.) I went home and typed brief summaries on my Mac SE. They'd go something like this:
1400 block of N. Prospect Ave.
Jan. 14, between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. intruder broke kitchen window and stole jewelry, VCR, stereo and purse containing $75. No suspect.
There were over 100 of these agate crime summaries that ran in the margins of every issue, next to "the big feature." Those stories — some written by friends — ran about 1,500 to 2,000 words. There were pieces about art-school nude models, a huge tattoo convention, a quirky artist colony and a shady mayoral candidate. One of my Public Record writers interviewed four young people about what it's like to suffer a nervous breakdown. My upstairs tenant heard about the project and told me for the first time about his history of mental illness; he was included in the package.
I thought the stories were interesting, but I knew that people picked the paper up for the crimes. ("Not to scare, but to make aware" was The Public Record slogan.)
Every other Wednesday night I'd take my Mac floppy disk to the Milwaukee Magazine offices (I was a "semi-retired" senior editor at the time) and — with the publisher's permission — designed the newspaper on a "Super Mac." I'd usually wrap things up at about 3 or 4 in the morning, then drive the finished pages to the printer in Hartland, about 35 miles away. I'd put the four 11-by-17 pages into a drop-box, then head home and crawl into bed at about 5:30 or 6 a.m. Four hours later the printer's courier would drop the 5,000 newspapers on my porch, and I'd call my distributor and put him to work.
The distributor — a medical student who dropped out of school after bit too much LSD experimentation — was paid $20 for leaving papers at about 35 outlets. (I met the guy while working on a feature about an apartment building occupied by grave-robbers, witches, prostitutes and, well …. other people like that.) My writers were friends who loved seeing their words in print for the first time and didn't expect to get paid. What was missing was an ad salesperson; I had some $1 classifieds, but no display ads. I wasn't in this for the money and the $185 per issue printing bill was manageable.
I ended up folding The Public Record after a few months for a few reasons. My volunteers' enthusiasm started to wane, and I was getting tired of fetching police reports from MPD headquarters every other day or so. I also caught myself nodding off at the wheel a few times during my 4 or 5 a.m. drives back from the printer. My only regret is not saving some issues for my archives. Only the Wisconsin Historical Society, and my archivist-photographer friend Julie Lindemann still have copies. (She and John Shimon [NSFW photo] scanned the images you see here.)
So, Patch people, I believe in hyperlocal, too — as does my source for yesterday's story that you're all attacking. I know that editor-in-chief Brian Farnham sent out an email last night calling this person "a gutless asshole." I disagree with that assessment; I think the source is merely a concerned employee. So how about knocking off the "witch hunt" that I hear is going on?
Gannett offers early retirement package to 665 employees
12:07 pmGannett U.S. Community Publishing president Bob Dickey tells employees: "This offer was designed to be as attractive as or better than others in the industry.

The offer provides for salary continuation of two weeks' pay for each complete year of service, capped at 52 weeks, and ongoing health, dental and vision coverage during this period."

Editor writes news story to go along with her obit
11:56 amWant to make sure the story about you that runs in the paper when you die is correct? Write it yourself.
That's what retired Manitowoc (Wis.) Times-Herald managing editor Marge Miley did. The news story about her career — she last revised it a dozen years ago — was on file at the Reinbold Pfeffer Funeral Home, which made arrangements after Miley's death on Tuesday morning. The lead: "Marge Miley has met her last deadline. It's time to write '30' on the story of the life of Marge…"
She was a mediocre golfer but loved the game. She was an avid Green Bay Packer fan and had season tickets for 30 years.
Marge was in demand as a public speaker, especially after her retirement and entertained stories about her early days at the newspaper.

Demand Media's high-flying days are over

Demand Media's stock soared 33% to $22.65 on its IPO day a year ago; on Thursday, shares fell to $5.92 after they were downgraded.
Morgan Stanley analyst Scott Devitt, in his note on Demand Media, said the company's approach to mass producing content is under pressure as Google and other online search engines penalize sites that are deemed to have lower quality offerings.

'Survivor' class is a hit at Northwestern
9:45 amNorthwestern University School of Communication Professor Max Dawson used to joke that he'd someday teach a class on "Survivor." He tells the Daily Northwestern's Coco Keevan: "I tweeted incessantly about the show for probably the last five or six seasons, and it became something I was known for among other academics."
Today his class — "RTVF 330: The Tribe Has Spoken: Surviving TV's New Reality" — is a hit with students.
The response was overwhelming, with so many students requesting enrollment that the class doubled in size before the start of the quarter. Now, the castaways [in the class] are as diverse as any true season of "Survivor," composed of the show's fans, reality television nuts, pop culture apostles and people who didn't quite know what to expect.
Dawson has been profiled twice in the last few weeks by Northwestern publications. Here is today's Daily Northwestern piece, and here is the Jan. 25 profile of Dawson and his class in North by Northwestern.
James Fallows: I read WSJ, NYT, WP
9:13 amJames Fallows answered many questions from Reddit visitors this week, including: "What are your daily reads? Do you still flip through a print newspaper?" His response:
Get three real newspapers at home: NYT, WSJ, WaPo. The last is mainly for legacy/sentimental reasons, plus its still-good sports section.
Eric Schmidt, Google bigshot (and friend of mine, by chance, since long before his Google era) had an argument for the virtues of a printed newspaper. He said that he liked the finiteness of it — and the sense that when you got to the end, you could think you were "finished" in a way that you never can be with an online news source. To that I would add the ergonomic superiority of newspaper layout to web page layout. You can glance at a front or inside page an, in half a second, get a sense of the importance and range of stories, in a way you can't (as easily) with a site.

This past Sunday, Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh, who never served a day in the military, shamelessly questioned the heroism of his Congressional opponent, Illinois Army National Guard veteran and double amputee, Major Tammy Duckworth.
Using Senator John McCain as his foil to demean Duckworth, Walsh smeared Duckworth's service and undermined her sacrifice. Americans nationwide, across ideology and political party, were disgusted by Walsh's comments in the video.
I, too, was disgusted. I've long admired Tammy Duckworth. I've admired her since first learning her story. I even wrote about her in 2006 on the heels of her first Illinois Congressional campaign and subsequent defeat by Republican Peter Roskam – another non-veteran.
Today, having recently endured my own health challenges, I respect Tammy Duckworth even more. She's a hero of immeasurable – make that incomprehensible – dignity and strength.
Over the past eighteen months I've been challenged by Stage 4 Lymphoma, the difficult chemotherapy to treat it, and heart disease that required a stent in my right coronary artery. It's been an interesting journey and one I've been reluctant to discuss. I'm intensely private.
At this time, I'm happily in remission and feel no ill effects from the cancer, chemo or heart disease. Some may say what I faced was severe. At times, in the throes of the chemo, I would have agreed. But by and large I've felt I had it rather easy (though my oncologist disagrees). I drove myself to and from treatments and walked into the infusion room on my own, while many around me were wheeled. Often while in my oncologist's lobby, or the chemo room, I filled with tears as fellow warriors battled their pain. I, too, was in pain, but somehow it seemed a lot less because I could control my own movement. I felt fortunate then. I feel fortunate now.
Today I ride my bicycle twelve miles to my oncologist and cardiologist. Other than the fog of chemo that has made it so difficult to write, I don't have much to complain about. I'm a very lucky woman.
But it's not the same for Tammy Duckworth. She will deal with the ravages of war and the travails of amputation for the rest of her life. Yet amazingly – astonishingly – she prevails. Despite her irreparable wounds and her crutches and prostheses, Tammy Duckworth has endured the mental and physical challenges of the position of Assistant Secretary of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and two rigorous Congressional campaigns. No wonder she's so admired.
Considering the overwhelming condemnation Joe Walsh has received, it's fair to say that across the political spectrum, Americans share my regard for Tammy Duckworth. Veterans, in particular, are outraged at Walsh. Iraq War Veteran and Chairman of VoteVets.org PAC, Jon Soltz, even called for Walsh's resignation from Congress. But disturbingly, John McCain, who was Walsh's singular foil in demeaning Tammy Duckworth, remains silent.
McCain, who's talked often of his military service both on and off the campaign trail, and of his special connection to vets, previously crossed party lines to support his fellow veterans. Most famously, during the Clinton administration, McCain worked closely with Democratic Senator and Vietnam veteran John Kerry on POW/MIA affairs. If the military is truly non-partisan, shouldn't allegiance to veterans trump allegiance to party? I understand Senator McCain is presently in Afghanistan, but he's had ample time since Sunday to chastise Joe Walsh. Why hasn't he done so? It's not like he's been totally silent.
He's tweeted the full spectrum from the Arizona Diamondbacks to his visit with the troops. Why not a tweet to defend Major Duckworth? After all, his was the name Joe Walsh mentioned. If he can tweet about baseball, he can certainly tweet about this.
Senator McCain, your fellow veteran has been attacked in your name. Will you step up to honorably defend her? Only time will tell…

[ Outline of, and subject links to, "I Saw The Tribulation" (or scroll to text below). ]
I was baffled, and at times extremely frightened.
[ The Dead in Christ Rise First. TV & Radio shut down for several Weeks. ]
The dream began with an extremely loud noise.
I walked the streets in shock. Everywhere there was absolute fear and lawlessness. Looting and murdering everywhere.
[ Searching for Answers leads to accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord & Savior. ]
Nearly hopeless, I began to search for answers. While walking the streets one day, I met an elderly gentleman. Everyone else was in despair but this man was friendly looking. I asked him if he knew what was going on in the world?
One day a great earthquake shook the whole earth with extreme magnitude. [ MAT 24:7, MAR 13:8, LUK 21:11, REV 6:12, 8:5, 11:13, 11:19, 16:18, ISA 24 ] Millions of people were killed and the whole world was stunned by the devastation and loss of property and life. [ LUK 21:26 ]
The earthquake was worldwide and I had never heard of such an event reaching global proportions. [ ^ Events surrounding this prophecy.]
The weather completely changed. I saw winter weather in the summertime, summer weather in the winter. Winter became summer and summer became winter.
Crops perished. Droughts brought famines and deaths. Deaths brought global pestilence. [ ^ Events surrounding this prophecy.]
Local police departments were replaced with world military police.
The men that were in them were dressed in all black uniforms with powder blue helmets. Some wore what looked like baseball caps. All of them were powder blue now I know it to be United Nations blue. [ ^ Events surrounding this prophecy.]
The new leader and his laws were not resisted. There were no longer any elected officials. The Constitution was not the law of the land. It was shocking how easily our Constitution was replaced with a peaceful "martial law". There was no privacy. Military police were everywhere, tracking and monitoring everyone and everything. I thought, "How did this happen to America so quickly and easily without resistance? Where were the ideas of our founding Fathers?"
We were totally monitored and tracked.
As time passed we came to realize that our television sets not only
broadcast to us but also transmitted signals back to the
military about us. We discovered our television sets
were somehow watching us as if they were cameras with microphones!
Television continually explained to us that we were now being saved from
all their troubles by aligning ourselves with this "New Order". The
"New Order" was said to have all the answers to our problems. This
new leadership was necessary to bring change, to finally bring in the "New
Order" of envisioned global peace. [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy.]
[ For awhile,
many "Christians" return to Jesus Christ in total surrender. ]
My work with the "Evangelist man"
continued to increase. Many so-called "Christians"
were being changed by the power of the Gospel this man taught us.
These backslidden Christians explained how they had once had
a relationship with Jesus but became cold in their faith
and fell away from a life of holy, passionate, pursuit
of God. For a short period of time, many people came
to Christ in total surrender. [ JER
16:19-21 ] [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy.]
[ Avoid
getting the Mark, Regardless of the Consequences! ]
One day a man approached me and told me
that I should get my identification mark. He told me
we could no longer conduct business transactions without
this identification mark on our right hand or forehead.
It looked like the sun with a hand in the middle.
This was to my utter amazement, seeing
that I had never read the scriptures nor had heard of such an identification
mark. The New Order began to recommend people get their
identification mark. They sold the idea to the people much
the same way the idea of using checks and credit cards convinced the public
of their value. Soon pressure was increased to the
point that you could not buy or sell without this mark
of identification. [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy.]
[ The voice
of the Lord tells me not to return to my home. ]
More words rang in my mind, this time from
Matthew 24:15-22 When ye therefore
shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let
them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the
housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those
days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither
on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as
was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall
be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh
be saved: but for the elects sake those days shall
be shortened.
I knew the end was coming fast
and I needed to get to my wife. A strong internal voice
was trying to lead me along. A voice kept telling me not
to return to my home. I did not know to obey the voice
of the Lord. I ran to my home to check on my wife as fast as
I could. When I arrived shock and fear overwhelmed me. I began
to understand what was happening on the earth. It hit me like a ton
of bricks. I reached for my door knob, and I saw the door lock had
been replaced with new locks. My privacy was totally violated.
I will never forget the emptiness I felt as I saw the paint on the door
from the previous locks. I was locked out of my own home.
Again a voice spoke to me saying,
"Dont open the door." I did not recognize the voice of
God. In fear, I opened the door and was greeted by a devilish,
sinister looking being. I asked, "Who are you?" It was a demon.
I screamed in great fear and shut the door and woke up.
Petrified and paralyzed from fear, I found
myself lying in a pool of sweat, drenched from the agony of what I had
seen. It was three oclock in the morning and I was beside myself
in anguish. I awoke my wife looking for solace, but she said it was
just a nightmare and told me to go back to sleep. I knew God
was trying to tell me something, but why? And why me?
I got up and began to pace the floor of our living room but peace was not
to be found. I was impressed to read the Holy Bible.
I did not even know if I owned a Bible. I began to realize the absolute
emptiness of my life I knew no way out. I went outside to my garage
and began to search frantically through many boxes of discarded items for
a Bible. At last, I found it a Saint Joseph Catholic Edition Bible.
How it got there I have no idea.
I went inside and began to read the book
of the Apocalypse. I must have read four or five chapters before
falling back asleep. [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy.]
[ Dread, Suicides,
Nations loose sovereignty, Evil pervades, Spiritual Darkness. ]
As soon as I fell asleep the dream
began again exactly where it stopped. Once again I was facing
this sinister being. I was gripped with tremendous fear
and ran off. I began walking the streets. Everyone was
spiritually dead. Mens faces everywhere were filled with the dread.
They looked as though they were in a catatonic state. Suicide
rapidly became the answer to the dread surrounding mankind,
mens hearts were literally failing them from fear.
People by the thousands were committing suicide. The
huge screen televisions kept broadcasting world events as though
they were local news. By now nearly all nations were in the
New Order. This was very strange. There were almost no
sovereign individual nations. The world was now divided
into global regions no longer as continents and countries.
[ REV 17:13 These have one mind, and
shall give their power and strength unto the beast.]
The awareness of God being on the
Global scene was nearly impossible to detect. Evil had pervaded
all aspects of society, gross spiritual darkness was covering the
earth. The actual gravity of despair and hopelessness was seen on
every face. People acted as robots, the love of many
had waxed cold, showing little or no emotions; such as joy,
peace and hope. [MAT 24:12
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.]
[ ^ Events
surrounding this prophecy.]
[ The Lord's
people do Awesome Miracles worldwide for maybe 6 months. ]
The old Evangelist launched what
he called the final all-out thrust, speaking the Word
of God with reckless abandon. In pockets all over
the earth, others began doing the same. I was able to see
this awesome display of Almighty Gods power at work.
I could see the Global scene in full demonstration of who Jesus was
and just what He could do. I saw miracles everywhere.
Gods people working miracles on a wholesale basis by all
who were truly the Lords people. The difference was the real
servants of God were able to do awesome miraculous works; creating
miracles, including the dead raised to life, and healing
after healing of incurable diseases. This was happening all
over the world. It was as though Jesus himself was everywhere
doing His work through ordinary people. Unbelievable miracles
were now commonplace. [ JOE 2:23
...he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and
the latter rain in the first month.]
This great outpouring of Gods
Spirit was tremendous and very widespread. Whole
nations were being brought into the Kingdom of God.
It only lasted a very short time. I was not clearly
shown the time-frame, possibly six months. Then gross darkness
once again began engulfing the minds of all who would
not hear the message of hope. [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy.]
[ The "New
Order" plan is revealed: Totally eliminate all Christians.
Not long after the evangelistic thrust
began, we were captured by "military" agents.
We were taken into custody and questioned regarding our affairs.
These agents had firsthand knowledge of all our actions.
It was as though they were with us the entire time. The questioning
was kind at first. We were given an explanation of the "New
Order" and it was stressed to us the need for our allegiance,
since there was no more United States of America. The men
speaking to us were very polished in their delivery and quite
convincing about the need for our cooperation. We were eventually
told we must not propagate the Gospel. We refused to stop
our evangelism and were taken to another level of interrogation.
They said our outdated religious
practices were futile and that many Christians had cracked under
the pressure of the "New Order", thus proving the emptiness of their faith.
Mockery and insolence was
the scheme of the interrogation, which lasted for hours.
If a man was not truly on The Rock of
Jesus it would be easy for them to break even the strongest.
We were given divine strength and courage and would not back
down at their threats. Finally, after many hours of interrogation,
we were led down a very long corridor. Hundreds of people
were in a single file line. Several doors separated this long corridor
and at random times, more interrogators would burst forth and more in the
line would fall away. I saw many step out of the line. As they stepped
out of the line they would begin to cry. We began to realize this
was a line of Christians on their way to some type of torture or
something. [ Rev 17:6, Rev
20:4 ]
After many hours we reached the
last visible doorway. The door opened revealing an executioner
and several agents. Now the full realization of what this was came
to us. Fear gripped me! Never before had I experienced
such fear! I began to shake. It was not shaking as if I were
cold. I was shaking violently. I began to shake like a washing
machine severely out of balance. Extreme chills engulfed my
whole body. I could barely stand. My jaws became
locked! This man had a black hood with holes
for the eyes and mouth. He had a sword that
looked like Sinbads sword in movies. It looked like the sword on
the Masonic emblems. The presence of evil was
thick, it was literally tangible. The whole experience was
horrifying and
The time had come when the only way
to be saved was to die for Jesus.
I began to hear loud voices around me shouting,
"It is not to late. Deny your faith in Him and you
may live! Deny Him and you will live! Deny Him and you will
live!" [ MAT 10:33 But whosoever
shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father
which is in heaven.]
I did not know what would be better to
live in the earth the way it was, or to die.
Confusion assaulted my mind. My old Evangelist friend
was executed right before my very eyes. I knew the end was
coming, one way or another. The old man was not fearful
at all. Next was my wife, I could not bear it all!
I was tormented by voices saying,
"You will deny Him! You are a coward! Give up
and live!" [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy.]
[ "Lord save
me, I dont want to deny you!" was my call on the Lord for help.
My mind was in complete hysteria
and worst of all, I could not even speak out loud!
I was emotionally paralyzed. Here my wife is now about to
die and I cant even speak. Suddenly the door shut and I know
she too is gone. It felt as though I would freeze, it was
so cold and dreadful. I began to fear I would deny
Jesus and renounce my faith in His Lordship. I felt complete
hopelessness the reality of denying the Lord was overwhelming!
I could not speak to call on the Lord for help, so deep inside I said,
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall
keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.] [ My execution
is painless: ... absent from the body ... present with the Lord.
The door opened again. This time
it was my turn. I was laid face up on a table in the
shape of a cross. My body was strapped to the
table on what would be the vertical part of the cross and my arms
were strapped to what would be the horizontal part.
The executioner stood to take my
life. I saw the sword raised. I saw it
fall, but as soon as the blade of the sword touched
the front of my neck I was gone, literally gone from
my body. I felt no pain!! I was instantly
standing beside Jesus looking upon the whole scene. [ 2CO
5:8 ...to be absent from the body, and to be present
with the Lord.]
I saw my body bleeding profusely.
The executioner and the agents made several comments about how much
more I bled than most. I bled so much that the
executioner took off his mask shouting, "I will not kill another
one of these people." I awoke from the dream, very, very shaken
and needing many answers from this dream. [

You could see the flames coming out
from it. It was about the size of a nickel and was
located in the web of the right hand between the thumb
and first finger. He encouraged me to get my
identification mark to avoid the hassle. At that very instant
a very strong impression came to me emphatically telling me to not
get this mark under any circumstances my mind began
to hear a word directly from Revelation 13:16-18
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save
he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number
of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man;
and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. [666]
The true heart of the "New Order"
was finally revealed. The threats and taunts were now at full
power. It was frightening.
[ I knew
now that the only way to be saved was to die for Jesus.
They told us their plan was to
totally eliminate all Christians.
They began to ask us to deny "Him".
They would never say the name
"Jesus", they called Jesus, "Him."
They could not say the name! [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy.]I knew now that the only way
to be saved was to die for your faith.
[ Tormenting voices:
You will deny Him! You are a coward! Give up and live!
Only a few times had I heard the term
"martyr" and now I was about to become one. [

"Lord save me, I dont want
to deny you!"
I am not sure how he got there or if he was
noticed by others, but there He was and He was glorious! His eyes
were like fire blazing lamps looking deep into my soul.
Strong yet comforting, He spoke to me and told me,
Instantly I felt a hand touch my
right shoulder and great warmth and peace flooded my whole
being. I looked back to see who was with me, and there stood Jesus.
"Fear not, for death shall never
hold you, my son."
All at once courage and boldness
took hold of me and I declared, "I shall never deny Jesus Christ,
for He is Lord of all and desires you to be saved from
your sin!" [ MAT 16:25 For whosoever
will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his
life for my sake shall find it.] [
