Born on July 6, 1935, Tenzin Gyatso was recognized at the age of 2

the Nobel Peace Prize for his tireless work to promote peace and freedom.
The Dalai Lama is recognized around his world for his messages of peace,
non-violence, inter-religious understanding, universal responsibility
and compassion.
Check out a small sample of more than 50 books the Dalai Lama has written.

accessible to a larger audience, spreading his words of wisdom and message
of inner peace that captured the imagination of America.

Ruined tires make for a crummy holiday
Posted on December 22nd, 2013 by Sara
We?received the following emails over the weekend:
There has been someone going around putting nails into tires around 32nd and 33rd and Government Way in Magnolia. ?Many of our neighbors are upset because their cars have flats. ?It's always the driver's side front tire that they vandalize. ?Can you post on the Voice to ask people to be vigilant?
-AnonymousEarly on Sunday, 2 cars parked back-to-back on 33rd, just off Government Way, had screws pounded into their left front tires, in the exact same place. Vandalism occurs in this are on a regular basis, and requests for stepped-up police presence appear to have fallen on deaf ears. Residents in the area should …check their tires before driving off.

Tests and procedures used to diagnose endometrial cancer include:
If endometrial cancer is found, you'll likely be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating cancers involving the female reproductive system (gynecologic oncologist).
Once your cancer has been diagnosed, your doctor works to determine the extent (stage) of your cancer. Tests used to determine your cancer's stage may include a chest X-ray, a computerized tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) scan and blood tests. The final determination of your cancer's stage may not be made until after you undergo surgery to treat your cancer.
Stages of endometrial cancer include:

MIAMI - Jill Tahmooressi is back in South Florida after a Mexican judge refused to dismiss the weapons charges against her son.
"Oh, very sad. I know Andrew is extremely despondent, so my concern is for him because he's been through a lot," she said.
U.S. Marine reservist Andrew Tahmooressi was ordered back in a jail near Tijuana, where he has been locked up for more than three months.
On Wednesday, he arrived at a courthouse under heavy guard and would spend more than eight hours inside pleading his case. The 26-year-old maintains that the night of March 31, he got lost and crossed the Mexican border by accident with three firearms in his pickup truck.
"The judge, the honorable judge did let me go in and visit him the last 20 minutes, so I was able to see him and that's why I know how despondent he is," Jill Tahmooressi said. "Because, that point, after the nine hours he knew he wasn't coming home."
The legal system in Mexico is sometimes unpredictable, and unlike in the United States, a person is guilty until proven innocent.
Nonetheless, Jill Tahmooressi said she and her attorney, Fernando Benitez, are hopeful the case will be dismissed.
"He's jailed. I'm free. So I have to be his advocate," she said.
Andrew Tahmooressi's next hearing is scheduled Aug. 4.

If you had to chose one rifle to hunt with and defend yourself with as well as a sidearm that weighs less than 4.5 lbs
Mine would be a marlin 45-70 guide rifle and a kel tech su 16
That question is a tough one. Especially without a SCOPE.
The more I shoot the Judge carbine the more I am impressed with it. It would be hard not to pick that little gem up whether it was to shoot rabbits, deer ar the two legged varmints.
Prolly this one, along with my G19 or G21 for the sidearm.
I don't like questions like this. To me, being asked to pick just one rifle is like someone pointing at my kids and asking, "if you could only keep one, who would it be?"
Remington model 700 30-06 with Hornady SST bullets. Those things it hard. I was shooting a target up against a bodark tree with these trying to sight in my scope and they would Knock a huge amount of the bark off of it with each shot. Regular winchester ammo just made a small hole.
I'd prefer a .30-06, but to grab and go would be my Mini 14 and a 1911.
I would go with my LR-308 and my XDm9. Semi-auto in both, good caliber in the rifle for both self defense and big game, and I have a low power scope for precision shots. And big mag capacity on the pistol. Plus I can hit pretty well with both of them.
I think I would keep it simple...a levergun and a single action revolver. No scope to get busted up and no magazines to lose.
AK47 with the under folding stock, simple rugged and ammo is available pretty much in every country.

This spot on the Skyline trail road is where the road drops over to the Joe's Valley Reservoir side. The road coming up from Ephraim is wide and well constructed whereas the road becomes narrower and not as enjoyable as you drop down to Joe's Valley. A few spots are nasty with big drop offs so hope you don't meet someone in those sections. If I had it to do again, I'd come in from the east side and forget the route from Ephraim. BTW, the elevation of the road at this spot is a bit over 10,200 feet.

Contacts for Elections, Ethics, Lobbying and Campaign Finance Remain the Same
Madison, WI – Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board (GAB) begins work today, after the merger of the staffs of the State Elections Board and the State Ethics Boards into a single state agency.
The GAB will oversee enforcement of state laws pertaining to campaign finance, elections, ethics and lobbying. While the new agency is organized, contact information for public inquiries remains the same.
For questions about elections, the GAB's Elections Division can continue to be reached at the old Elections Board telephone number, 608-266-8005. For questions about ethics, lobbying and campaign finance, the GAB's Ethics and Accountability Division can continue to be reached at the old Ethics Board telephone number, 608-266-8123.
Until agency websites are merged, information on the Internet can be found at the old addresses for the Elections Board – http://elections.wi.gov – and the Ethics Board – http://ethics.state.wi.us. The GAB will also post a temporary page at http://gab.wi.gov, which will provide access to both sites.
The public can find information on the GAB page of the old Elections Board web site about the functions of the six-member Government Accountability Board itself, including its 2008 meeting schedule, and meeting agendas and minutes.
Kevin Kennedy, legal counsel for the GAB, said the agency will announce a new web site and a physical merger of its offices in the coming months.
"There will be no interruption or reduction in services to voters, public officials, candidates, lobbyists or the general public," Kennedy said. "The new GAB will build upon our past successes and will continue with the same high level of expertise and dedication to public service."

If you don't know what the column is, how do you know what you are testing against? Or what type it is, for that matter? Anyway, just have build a list of column-name,column-type pairs for relevant tables at application start-up, or store it in a configuration file. Unless you're building/changing tables all the time, that should work.

Best .45 ACP load

Yes I have fired a .44 Magnum Revolver several times. Cylinder loaded with .44 Magnums. Shooting a target all the way down range. I hit the throat and the head with no problem. It was easy. Easy to group in a rapid fire drill.
I hit with a .45 and group, but I'm always off a little low and to the left. Instead of hitting the throat I hit the chest or the shoulder. And that's not all the way down range. That's about at ten feet.
.44 Magnum may be a little lower in caliber than .45, but you forget it's Magnum. It's MAGNUM! Departments won't allow .44 or .357 Magnum, because they do too much damage and can easily over penetrate. They consider them overkill.
Shoot a Jello mold with a .44 Magnum and then one with a .45 Auto. Make sure your using .44 Magnum and not .44 Smith. You'll see the huge difference. I've never shot a person with a .44 Mag, but other officers and investigators have shown me pictures and shown me how much damage .44 Magnum will do.
People hunt with .44 Magnum revolvers. That's how powerful the weapon actually is. I've shot Milk jugs and jello molds with a .44 Magnum and have watched huge junks just get blown out of the human simulated target. I've watched the milk jugs explode. Then I shot the jello with a .45 Auto and seen big holes in the mold. But no airborne chunks. Big holes in the milk jug along with being tipped over, but they didn't explode.
A hot load .44 Magnum will completly shatter a bone upon impact, because it travels at a high velocity. Ripping a limb off is an exacheration, because the muscles will keep it attached.
I Vaguely know an officer that was hit point blank with a .44 Magnum, His second chance Level II vest saved him, but the hit broke all of his ribs on the right side of his chest and the ribs that didn't break were cracked. Don't remember his name or department, but he is on the second chance save roster and in one of their older demonstration videos. I've met him here and there. Never payed much attention to him, because he's just a shooting statistic. I remember him, because of the weapon he was shot with and he's on second chance's roster.
In my opinion 9mm is easy to shoot, but that's me. I know people that suck with any gun.
I know people are trained to just hit the target instead of hitting a target were they will be mortaly wounded.
.45 ACP is the best bullet for certain situations. Like policing. Since it's a low velocity bullet and it's large so it will do considerable of damage without over penetrating. The fact that it's slow moving an doesn't cut through the flesh like a 9mm would gives it a lot of takedown power.
.44 and .357 Mag hit so hard and fast that they cause and implosion. That's why the target area explodes.
The size of the bullet doesn't make it better. A bullet's potential damage all depends on the balance between how heavy it is and how fast it travels. Hollow point helps increase the damage.
Peronsaly I feel WC452 is a stupid choice for defense, because it's designed for indoor plinking. It has a full metal jacket or it's a ball type bullet of some sort. Can't exactly remember. Full metal jacket is for max penetration. Such as shooting through glass, plastic or metal. Jacket hollow point if for max damage. So you want a JHP. Unless you plan on shooting through your windows. I don't think a .45 FMJ is guaranteed to go through glass anys. It travels so slow.

Palisade earns No. 1 seed for 4A district tournament
Palisade High School's volleyball team will get a chance to avenge its loss in the final regular-season match of the season when the Bulldogs host the Class 4A District 7 tournament.
The Bulldogs (15-4) received a No. 1 seed after winning the Western Slope League title. Match dates and times will be finalized today.
Montezuma-Cortez, Delta, Glenwood Springs, Sand Creek and Summit are in the field. Delta and Glenwood Springs defeated Palisade this season, the Demons winning Thursday night in Glenwood. The other two teams to beat the Bulldogs, Canon City and Vista Ridge, are in the District 5 tournament.
Durango, which won the Southwestern League, hosts the Class 4A District 8 tournament, which features Eagle Valley, Steamboat Springs, Pueblo Centennial, Montrose and Pueblo East.
Fruita Monument travels to the Class 5A District 7 tournament at Rangeview and Central is at Chaparral in the District 1 tournament this weekend.
The Wildcats received the No. 26 seed, with seventh-seeded Rangeview, Doherty, Legend, George Washington and Thornton also in the district.
The Warriors are the final team in the district playoffs, with Chaparral seeded first overall. Fossil Ridge, Bear Creek, Greeley West and Mountain Vista are also in District 1.
Olathe received the top seed from the Class 3A Western Slope League and hosts the four-team District 6 tournament, with Classical Academy, Coal Ridge and Manitou Springs. Roaring Fork is the No. 2 seed in District 5 at Colorado Springs Christian, with Trinidad and Brush also in the tournament.
Gunnison hosts the District 8 tournament, playing Pagosa Springs, Buena Vista and Aspen.
Fruita Monument achieved one goal, qualifying for the Class 5A state playoffs, but in order to advance, the Wildcats (7-8) will have to pull off a major upset.
Fruita drew the No. 30 seed and plays at No. 3 Denver East (13-2) in Tuesday's first round. Game times will be announced today.
Cherry Creek (15-0) is the top seed, with Fairview (11-2-2) seeded second in the 32-team field.
The Wildcats are the only Southwestern League team to qualify for the 5A playoffs, but two SWL teams received home games in the 4A playoffs.
League champion Montrose (12-0-3) is seeded seventh and hosts No. 26 Sand Creek (10-4-1) on Wednesday, with No. 15 Durango (9-3-3) seeded 15th and hosting No. 18 Valor Christian (7-7-1).

Colorado Springs Christian (12-3) is the top seed in the 32-team field, with Classical Academy (14-1) seeded second.
Plateau Valley's 44-6 victory Friday night at Nucla put the Cowboys into the Class A 8-man cross division playoffs.
Plateau Valley (1-6) plays at Sanford (5-3) at 1 p.m. Saturday.
In other cross division games in the West Division, Norwood (7-1) hosts Sierra Grande (3-5), Dove Creek (5-3) hosts La Veta (5-3) and Sangre de Cristo (5-3) hosts Mancos (3-4).
Plateau Valley lost its first six games before breaking out against Nucla, with quarterback West Castro throwing two touchdown passes, including a 90-yarder to Ted Grundy. Jimmy Roberts ran for one touchdown and caught another TD pass, and Matt Nichols had a pair of rushing touchdowns.
Coach Dave Bristol is achieving his goal of building up the program again, with 14 of the 15 players on the team Plateau Valley students, with one from the Collbran Job Corps. Three years ago, more Job Corps students played for the Cowboys than Plateau Valley students, and eight of the 14 Plateau Valley students are underclassmen.

Weather concerns continue supporting the corn market, with traders appearing focused upon the heat wave now dominating crop growing areas in Argentina and southern Brazil. As in the U.S. hot, dry weather striking when their corn crop is pollinating could badly damage production prospects. However, bulls couldn't sustain the upward momentum Wednesday morning, possibly due to technical considerations. That is, while the nearby March future is currently trading just above support associated with its 40 and 50 day moving averages (MAs), it has yet to break out above a trendline drawn across its August and November highs. If/when it does so, price could follow through sharply to the upside. Otherwise, a substantial setback might be forthcoming. March corn had slipped 3/4 cent to $7.27 3/4 in late-morning activity, while December edged 1/4 cent lower to $5.89 3/4 per bushel.
The South American weather situation seems to be providing underlying support for the soybean market as well, especially since so many users around the world are obviously relying upon huge Brazilian and Argentine crops to meet a large portion of their 2013 needs. And yet CBOT futures proved unable to build upon the large Tuesday advance this morning. Some might be tempted to blame light rains over the main Brazilian bean growing area, but the areas that most need moisture reportedly remain dry. We are inclined to cite profit-taking on the part of large speculators in Chicago for the price slide. March beans were trading 3 1/4 cents lower, at $14.48 1/2 per bushel late Wednesday morning, while March soyoil had declined 0.13 cents to 52.30 cents/pound and March meal dipped $1.2 to $420.4/ton.
Kansas City futures led the wheat complex higher Wednesday morning, since the industry is clearly concentrating upon the dryness dominating the hard red winter wheat fields of the Southern Plains at this juncture. Conditions in that region certainly have time to improve, but the lack of rain in most winter-spring forecasts are offering no comfort to farmers and exciting bullish futures traders. The latter were probably encouraged by the Wednesday morning price action as well, since the nearby contracts bounced from the confluence of their respective 10 and 20-day MAs. Conversely, the March CBOT contract apparently faces strong chart resistance around the $8.00/bushel level, with its 40 and 50-day MAs also presenting significant obstacles at slightly higher levels. March CBOT wheat advanced 2 1/2 cents to $7.81 3/4 in late-morning action, while March KCBT wheat had surged 5 1/4 cents to $8.36/bushel and March MGE futures climbed 2 3/4 cents to $8.67.
Given the size of its breakdown since early January, the cattle market seems overdue for a substantial rebound. Thoughts along those lines, along with hopes for improved wholesale conditions over the next week or so probably supported live cattle futures early Wednesday morning. Those hopes were at least partially dashed when the USDA released its midday wholesale report, showing beef cutout values had slipped 0.68-0.73 cents since Tuesday evening. This raised fresh concerns about the cattle/beef outlook, which in turn undercut futures once again. February cattle slipped 0.25 cents to 125.47 cents/pound in Tuesday morning action, while April fell 0.67 cents to 129.80.
Hopes for seasonal strength seemed to support CME lean hog futures early Wednesday morning, with traders very likely hoping a big cattle rebound would pull hog and pork prices upward as well. However, a mid-morning report that Russia may step up its restrictions on American beef and pork in response to its purported concerns about the hormone ractopamine in our meat sank the Chicago market soon thereafter. Russia has emerged as a significant market for our red meat exports, so a ban on those products could hurt the domestic market. That possibility almost surely caused the subsequent futures decline. February hogs slipped just 0.25 cents to 85.45 cents/pound in reaction to the news, but June futures dove 1.20 cents to 96.07.

text: Veronica Porsche Ali (now Veronica Porsche Anderson) is an American actress of Louisiana Creole descent. She was the third wife of American boxer Muhammad Ali, and the mother of actress and professional boxer Laila Ali. She later married Jesus Christ Superstar singer and actor Carl Anderson, who passed away in 2004. She was born in Louisiana, but grew up in the Echo Park district of Los Angeles. She attended Holy Rosary catholic boarding school in Lafayette, Louisiana and graduated from Belmont High School in 1973, where she was crowned the Homecoming Queen that year. Her brother, Anthony Porche, was a star football and track field athlete at Belmont High School. Ali and Porsche began a relationship while he was still married to his second wife, Khalilah 'Belinda' Ali. Porsche was one of the four poster girls who had promoted the Rumble in the Jungle fight in Zaire versus George Foreman. Porsche and Ali were married in the summer of 1977. At the time they were married, they had a 10-month-old daughter, Hana, and Porsche was three months pregnant with their second child. They had just these two children before divorcing in July 1986. Their oldest daughter, Hana Ali, is an author who today lives near her father in Michigan. Their youngest daughter, Laila Ali, is a professional boxer. Prior to meeting Ali, she spelled her last name Porche. As her fame grew, and she began to have contact with reporters and other media, she began to tell them that her name was spelled "like the sports car". This, of course, led to people spelling her name — Porsche — like the sports car. Her name appears on documents using both spellings. Reportedly, she favors the style and sophistication of the Porsche spelling; and for that particular reason, she sometimes uses the spelling "Verónica" for her first name. She had some limited experience as an actress. She played a tour guide, Ranger Emily, in the 1986 film Terror on Alcatraz. She appeared as herself in a made-for-TV documentary, Intimate Portrait: Laila Ali (2001) (TV). In the movie, Ali starring Will Smith, the role of Veronica Porsche Ali was played by Michael Michele.

NEW YORK — John Thompson III might be the only person left who is reluctant to add Greg Monroe's name to the list of great Georgetown centers.
"I think it's too early to give him that label," the coach said Friday night after his 6-foot-11 sophomore dazzled with 23 points and 13 rebounds in an 80-57 rout of Marquette in a Big East semifinal.
"I think that's something that once your time here is over, you can sit back and make all those analyzations and comparisons," Thompson said. "Right now I think he's just focused on playing as hard as he can to win games and help his teammates out."
Chris Wright followed his 27-point performance against top-seeded Syracuse in Thursday's quarterfinals with 15 points for No. 22 Georgetown (23-9), which put away Marquette (22-11) with a 14-1 run with less than 10 minutes to go.
Tonight, the Hoyas play West Virginia, looking to extend their record to eight tournament championships.
A lot of that success is owed to guys such as Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutumbo and Alonzo Mourning. That tradition has carried on in recent years to Roy Hibbert and now Monroe.
"I'm honored to follow people that were so good here," Monroe said. "The things they accomplished and did and went on to do great things at a high level — me just being here two years, I can't put myself in the same category as those players."
He is leaving that to everybody else.
"We know that Greg is a phenomenal player," Wright said. "It's not like he just started doing this in the Big East tournament. We know he can pass; we know he can score."
Jimmy Butler scored 17 to lead the Golden Eagles, who had won three straight against Georgetown but were humbled in their first double-digit loss this season.
"They absolutely annihilated us," Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. "I thought every single player that played was really good, was hard for us to guard, and we were as bad as we've been all year defensively. Didn't play with very much energy at all."
No. 7 W. Va. 53, Notre Dame 51: Da'Sean Butler, West Virginia's last-second hero in the quarterfinals, scored 24 to lead the Mountaineers in the other semifinal.
Third-seeded West Virginia (26-6), looking for its first Big East title, faces eighth-seeded Georgetown tonight. The Mountaineers beat the Hoyas 81-68 on March 1 in their only meeting this season.
Butler had banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer Thursday for a 54-51 victory over Cincinnati.
The Fighting Irish (23-11) had a chance to win it Friday. Tory Jackson missed a 3-pointer with four seconds left. Notre Dame's Tyrone Nash got the rebound, but Wellington Smith stripped it from him as the buzzer sounded.
The Mountaineers have won five straight and seven of eight.
Ben Hansbrough had 17 points for the Fighting Irish, who had won six straight.

Looking for a Treadmill that supports ifit workouts? Check out HealthRider:
Save $100 on HealthRider H75t Treadmill – Now On Sale at $999
Okay, so I'm a little obsessed with my new toy. And I really lucked out buying a Proform Treadmill with the ifit program.
I did a little more digging about the Ifit Program. Apparently, the Ifit that my treadmill has is outdated. Here's the run-down:
http://workout.ifit.com is the old Ifit system that ties into my Proform Treadmill. It's a website that has some basic free workouts, and some fancier paid workouts. The workouts are a visual display showing bar graphs of your speed/incline, that have an audio beep code embedded in them. You plug you computer's audio output into the treadmill, and the treadmill interprets the beeps into incline and speed adjustments. It's a really nifty system. Too bad they aren't still making treadmills like this. Update: Dick's Sporting Goods sells a Proform 810 TR similar to mine with the ifit.com technology.
The really cool thing about this old system, is that some guy wrote a program that lets you create your own ifit workouts. I ran across a description of this program by accident, and then I had a hard time finding a place to download the file. The guy no longer distributes or supports the program, so I'm hoping he doesn't mind that I'm putting it here on my website. Here's the links:
i2wo.zip – newer version, build 168. In case above link stops working, try this version. A nag screen will appear after 30 days telling you to register. You can't register it tho, because they guy isn't selling it any more. You can still use it after 30 days, but you have to wait for the nag screen to timeout. This version lets you mix music into your workouts and allows you export a mp3 or wave file. The controls are nicer too.i2wo.exe – older version, build 58. No audio, but it works great for creating workouts and doesn't ever give you a nag screen. If you don't need audio and plan on connecting your treadmill directly to your computer, use this one.
You can even save the workouts for later as a text file; and it's a snap to easily create more workouts by simply copying the text file format using notepad. This is just perfect for a computer geek like me.
I used this i2Workout program to create a tempo run workout, with 5 minute warmup, 20 minutes at a pace of 8, and a 5 minute cooldown. (click on screen capture at right to enlarge) I totally sucked at this workout (meaning I could not do it without some unplanned rest), and I hated every minute of it. My philosophy, tho, is that the workouts you hate the most are probably the best for you. 🙁
Here's more info about the Ifit:
http://www.ifit.com is the newer system. It doesn't plug into your treadmill. It's just a paid workout site that lets you watch videos while you do your workout. In fact, I don't even think they have any treadmill workouts. It's more geared toward elliptical and stationary bikes.
Nordic Track makes a couple of treadmill models that come with Ifit memory cards. The memory card includes 8 weeks of treadmill workouts. I'm guessing that you plug the card directly into the treadmill, and the treadmill has some built in computer that runs the programs. I don't know if the workouts are customizable.
Some of the new Proform Treadmills include Ifit functionality, but they don't sound like any of the above…not sure what they are exactly. I think they are just pre-programmed workouts.

Walnut Hollow sent us two projects for decorative clocks that I am very excited about. I've never thought about making my own clock, but Walnut Hollow makes it easy. These clock crafts seem like perfect Father's Day gifts too, especially the first one, which has more of a rustic-feel.
I love the gear hands on this Cottage Clock Project and the way washers of various sizes stand in for the numbers. The metal wire makes it industrial-chic.
This Big Circles Clock project uses scrapbook paper on the clock face. The look is elegant but fun.

DHS Report Claims that 'Liberty Lovers' are a Terror Threat
Steve Cooper
The Russian media jumped all over this report that Homeland Security is claiming that 'liberty lovers' are possible terrorists. Let me explain, because Fox News did a report today and once again they failed to tell the truth about which enemy is which.
I believe that this DHS report that targets "liberty lovers" are really saying that 'Libertarian Anarchist, Ron Paul loons, 9/11 Truthers' are the real threat. They are the 'closet leftists' that reek havoc at the Occupy Wall Street protests that claim to have 'no real issue'.
Fox News, like the rest of the media has failed to explain who the enemy is once again.
I left this comment on Facebook about this report…
Infowars is a left wing website, that spews Iranian and Russian propaganda. Their followers are Libertarian Anarchists, they are terrorists. I have been investigating them since 2005. They are terrorists, but they shout on the Internet that they are "liberty loving patriots and constitutionalists", but they are really Occupy Wall Street thugs. The Russian media is also reporting this lie…
The big problem is that these maniacs have infiltrated the Tea Party to taint our movement for freedom.
I am NO FAN of Janet Napolitano and I believe that this general statement targeting "liberty lovers" is also being done to create paranoia among the people of the Tea Party that are really patriots, unlike the Libertarian Anarchists that riot at Occupy Wall Street.
I do believe that it is their goal to create unrest and panic within the Tea Party movement, because the response by the media will be much different than the kid gloves that they use for the Occupy Wall Street violence. It is also possible that these Anarchists can commit violence under the banner of Tea Party to smear the movement. I am actually shocked that this hasn't happened already.
To be fair, I was shocked that the DHS report did mention 'Left Wing Marxists'
Extreme Left-Wing: groups that want to bring about change through violent revolution rather than through established political processes. This category also includes secular left-wing groups that rely heavily on terrorism to overthrow the capitalist system and either establish "a dictatorship of the proletariat" (Marxist-Leninists) or, much more rarely, a decentralized, non-hierarchical political system (anarchists).
Infowars is also playing this up, because many of their followers are 'Anarchists and left wing revolutionaries' that love Ron Paul. These 'Libertarians' are really anti-Capitalism radicals that worship the Russian media and spreading propaganda on the Internet.
The bottom line is that DHS wants ALL of the American people in fear and looking over their shoulder and that is dangerous. This is PSYCH WARFARE that comes right out of the Soviet Union….
I also like how the report mentions ALL RELIGIONS as extreme:
Religious: groups that seek to smite the purported enemies of God and other evildoers, impose strict religious tenets or laws on society (fundamentalists), forcibly insert religion into the political sphere (e.g., those who seek to politicize religion, such as Christian Reconstructionists and Islamists), and/or bring about Armageddon (apocalyptic millenarian cults; 2010: 17). For example, Jewish Direct Action, Mormon extremist, Jamaat-al-Fuqra, and Covenant, Sword and the Arm of the Lord (CSA) are included in this category.
The report DOES PAINT with a broad brush pointing it's finger at ALL AMERICANS as a possible terrorist:
Extreme Right-Wing: groups that believe that one's personal and/or national "way of life" is under attack and is either already lost or that the threat is imminent (for some the threat is from a specific ethnic, racial, or religious group), and believe in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in paramilitary preparations and training or survivalism. Groups may also be fiercely
According to this report, the only people that are NOT TERRORISTS are 'reality show space cadets' that know zero about politics. You are a terrorist if you discuss politics….PERIOD, but I wanted to clear up the confusion among "liberty lovers", because many of these so called Liberty lovers are actually quite the opposite.
Notice the Infowars article doesn't mention Marxist revolutionaries and anarchists were terrorists? That is THEIR BASE lol

Lavera Lip Gloss Reviews
MOISTURIZINGAll I can say is "Moisturizing" - unlike the sticky ones this gloss actually moisturizing. The texture is a little slippery maybe due to the fact of the jojoba oil, almond oil ingredients, but it's all good because I know these ingredients are good for skin so why not. I used this when I want a bit of moisture or shine on the lips. Lavera gloss is very sparkly shiny with only a hint of...read more color... if you are looking for a bold lip gloss this might not be it for you. I do like the fact it's organic but it's a bit expensive for the price $14, especially when it's doesn't have much of a color. However, I would recommend it to someone who needs break from the chemical type of lipsticks and glosses. — 7 years, 2 months agoSharlet3 | 64 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Ukrainian protesters stood their ground today after an overnight sweep by riot police.
Their leaders dismissed an offer of talks from a president they say must quit for favouring ties with Russia over the European Union.
Pressed by Europe and the United States, which condemned the destruction of a protest camp in central Kiev, President Viktor Yanukovych offered to meet opposition leaders to find a way out of a crisis that began last month when he yielded to pressure from Russia and spurned a free-trade deal with the EU.
But his opponents, whose supporters continue to occupy the capital's City Hall, rejected his invitation and stuck to demands that the president and his government resign.
The authorities had made their most forceful attempt so far to reclaim the streets, sending in battalions of riot police with bulldozers to clear Independence Square.
There were scuffles and arrests but police did not enter the nearby City Hall and by morning they withdrew from the streets.
Within hours, after meetings with US and European Union officials who had urged him to compromise, Mr Yanukovych asked his opponents to meet him to negotiate a way out of the impasse.
He said: "I invite representatives of all political parties, priests, representatives of civil society to national talks," he said in a statement that also called on the opposition not to "go down the road of confrontation and ultimatums".
One protest leader, Oleh Tyahnibok, dismissed the move as "a farce and a comedy", while Arseny Yatsenyuk, a leader of a major opposition party, said there should only be talks once their demands had been met.
These include the resignation of the president and government and a release of prisoners.
In some of the strongest comments from the US so far, a White House spokesman urged Mr Yanukovych to listen to the people and resume Ukraine's integration with Europe.
"Violence of this sort that we have seen on the streets of Kiev is impermissible in a democratic state," he added.
US Secretary of State John Kerry spoke of "disgust" at the use of force and a spokeswoman for his department said the US was considering sanctions against Ukraine, among other options.
Such a move could further sour relations with Russia, which says the west is trying to intimidate Ukraine to weaken Russia.
At stake is the future of a country of 46 million people, torn between popular hopes of joining the European mainstream and the demands of former Soviet master Russia, which controls the flow of cheap natural gas needed to stave off bankruptcy.
At the main protest camp on Independence Square, pop stars, politicians and priests had pleaded with police not to shed blood.
The interior minister called for calm and promised that the square would not be stormed.
But even after the police left the streets, Vitaly Klitschko, a world boxing champion who has emerged as one of the main figures of the opposition, said the overnight action had "closed off the path to compromise".
"We understand that Yanukovych has not wish to talk to the people and only understands physical force," he said.
The interior ministry appealed for restraint, however, and the police action stalled after day broke, with temperatures in the snowbound city stuck well below freezing.
Some riot police left to cheers from lines of protesters.
At City Hall, demonstrators had sprayed police with water from a hose and had lobbed a Molotov cocktail from a window into a police truck before the officers finally withdrew.
On the square, protesters, many wearing hardhats in orange, the colour that symbolised a successful popular revolt against a fraudulent election in 2004, had listened to prayers and a plea from national pop icon Ruslana: "Do not hurt us!"
Some protesters held mobile phones in the air like candles and sang the national anthem, while church bells rang out from a cathedral a kilometre away, as in times of danger centuries ago.
"He is spitting in the faces of the United States, 28 countries of Europe, 46 million Ukrainians," opposition leader Yatsenyuk said of Mr Yanukovich during the night.
"We will not forgive him this."
The eventual police withdrawal was greeted with euphoria.

Taking Stock
This is what we've worked for, gardeners.
I bow to my intrinsic, agrarian rhythms. In March they compelled me to plant when I would have preferred to ski the last few runs. In June I weeded when I would have liked to have hopped on my single-speed cruiser, instead.
But this is the bounty of August — the gardening reward, and not only the reward, but a brief, indulgent respite.
The weeds have slowed, plants are sturdy, monsoonal rains are helping water, and my agrarian rhythms are telling me to leisurely grill the sweet corn and slather Brandywine tomatoes with mayo on a BLT.
This is the in-between, calm and grateful gardening season — time to examine flowers. Time to lie in the hammock. I don't even care if squash bugs eat the zucchini; we've had our fill.
It will pass. In a few weeks I'll feel antsy again and will start canning, freezing and dehydrating everything that's left, squirreling away for the winter. But for now … pass the mayo.

Industrial Hard chrome over blued v. stainless
May 8, 2009, 11:03 AM
How much of an advantage would you way there is to having stainless steel underlying hard chrome v. blued steel?
May 8, 2009, 11:11 AM
are you talking about a finish?
May 8, 2009, 11:25 AM
if I have the option of buying a stainless gun or a blued gun, then having the IHC coating put on it, would there be any advantage to having the stainless.
THe gun is available in stainless or blued, is there any reason I should pay more for stainless if I am going to get an IHC finish added anyways?

scorch is not doing a very good job of convincing e to waste my money on firearms...
The stainless is still harder than the hgh carbon steel. If the IHC coating failed(scratch or high wear location) I the stainless would be there to back it up v. the blued steel.
anyone actually seen an 1894 marlin in 357 mag for sale anywhere? What price? Everywhere I call they tell me they can't get them and try to sell me a Puma 92.

There would be very little advantage to chroming a stainless gun.
May 8, 2009, 07:51 PM
scorch is not doing a very good job of convincing e to waste my money on firearms...Sorry, I must be slacking off. I'll try harder.
The stainless is still harder than the hgh carbon steel.Not necessarily. 416 stainless is not all that hard, and firearms are not heat treated to be hard, but to be tough. The primary advantage of hard chrome is corrosion resistance (which you don't have to worry about much with stainless) and scratch resistance (which you do have to worry about with stainless. For stainless, HC would add the advantage of galling resistance.
May 9, 2009, 02:58 PM
do you plan on tossong this gun in the bottom of a boat never to see daylight again?
why are you so worried about corrosion? as long as you don't leave it wet for days on end, the stainless should never rust
May 9, 2009, 03:34 PM
I was more planning to drag it on a line behind the boat.
May 15, 2009, 12:51 AM
Stainless barrels are mainly 416-R which does rust if in contact with moisture for a prolonged time, Now it is a surface rust that doesn't penatrate very deep unless its damp for a very long time. I have seen barrels rusted while in a gun cabinet in Georgia from the humidity. For many years I have hard chromed barreled actions for use along coast lines and aboard ships. Bob Coagan of accurate plating http://www.apwcogan.com/ offers a great job with a guarantee of no rust after 300 hours of direct salt spray.

apwcogan is who I am intending to use.

Aftermath replaced the weapons pack with a new game mode so really only the end game DLC pack will fill empty.
I don't mind though because I got BF3 Premium for free when EA/DICE/Sony goofed.

RICHARD Hannon has confirmed he will be triple-handed in his bid to train a Classic winner in his own right at the first attempt with Night Of Thunder and Shifting Power joining leading light Toormore in the Qipco 2000 Guineas.
While success at the highest level is nothing new for a man who assisted his father Richard to three of the last four British titles, there is still high expectation ahead of the showdown with Kingman and Australia at Newmarket on May 3.
Last season's champion European juvenile Toormore, the scheduled mount of Richard Hughes, heads the team after extending his unbeaten record to four in the Craven Stakes over course and distance a few days ago.
Also undefeated is the strong chestnut Shifting Power, who Ryan Moore helped to prevail in a tight finish to last week's Free Handicap, while Night Of Thunder's unblemished record was ended by a hot Guineas favourite Kingman in the Greenham Stakes.
"I'm quite happy for all three of them to run, at the end of the day they are all owned by different people and they all want to have their go," said Hannon, who showed off the trio at a press morning at his Wiltshire stable on Tuesday.
"Hughesie will ride Toormore and we'd like Ryan to ride one, which depends on how many Aidan O'Brien runs. Then it will be the next best available on the other, depending what the owners want."
While Hannon was generally credited with last year's 1000 Guineas victory of Sky Lantern, when he was referred to as 'junior', this is truly his chance to shine alone.
"I think they are three excellent chances," he said.
"Shifting Power is the dark horse. He'll be a lot more suited to a mile and going a bit quicker. He's something a bit out of the ordinary as he's quite big and obviously very good.
"Night Of Thunder will have improved for the run at Newbury. He went off a bit keen and has an excellent chance of getting closer (to Kingman than four and a half lengths)."
Toormore did not turn in a performance in the Craven to match Kingman's demolition job in the Greenham Stakes but Hannon said: "He's never been a flashy horse and we were delighted with him.
"He'll run a massive race in the Guineas. Ours need their first run and he can improve five or seven pounds for it. That will put him right in the mix."

HOUSTON - As the University of Houston Men's Basketball team continues its preparations for the 2013-14 season, fans have a chance to receive a unique piece of memorabilia with the purchase of season tickets.
Fans who buy season tickets will receive at least one bobblehead doll of legendary Houston head coach and recent Hall of Fame inductee Guy V. Lewis. As the number of season tickets purchased increases, so will the number of bobbleheads.
Fans who buy one to three (1-3) season tickets will receive one bobblehead. Fans who purchase four to five (4-5) season tickets will receive two bobbleheads. Fans who buy six or more (6+) season tickets will receive three bobbleheads. Fans who purchase suites inside Hofheinz Pavilion for the entire season will receive five (5) bobbleheads.
To order suites, fans should call the Cougar Pride office at 713-743-Go-UH (4684) or email email@example.com.
Administrators are working with companies now to design the bobblehead. Fans should stay tuned to UHCougars.com and Houston Athletics' social media sites for the latest bobblehead photos and distribution information.
Competing in the new American Athletic Conference for the first time, the Cougars will play 17 home games inside historic Hofheinz Pavilion this season, including games against perennial powers UConn, Cincinnati, Temple, Memphis and defending national champion Louisville.
Houston faces each member of the 10-team conference in home-and-away contests, beginning 8 p.m., Dec. 31 against UConn inside Hofheinz Pavilion. Each of the Cougars' 18 American Athletic Conference regular-season games will be televised nationally on the ESPN family of networks or CBS Sports Network.
The season opens at 7 p.m., Nov. 5 with an exhibition contest against St. Thomas. The regular season tips off Nov. 8 against Texas State with both games inside Hofheinz Pavilion.
General Admission season tickets start for as low as $195, while Reserved season tickets start for only $280. Families can purchase the Memorial Hermann Family Fun Plan of two adult and two youth General Admission tickets can be purchased for only $399.
In addition to the 17 regular-season home games inside Hofheinz Pavilion, the Cougars' season-ticket package also includes both games of the Lone Star Showcase inside Toyota Center. Houston meets crosstown rival Rice at 3:30 p.m., Dec. 21, in the first game with Texas A&M facing Oklahoma at 6 p.m., Dec. 21, in the nightcap.
Purchasing Houston Men's Basketball season tickets provides admission to both games of this exciting twinbill.
Fans should remember that purchasing Men's Basketball season tickets will help their standing in the Cougar Pride Priority Point System, which determines seating priority in the new Houston Football Stadium when it opens in August 2014.
Fans receive two Priority Points per sport per account when purchasing Men's Basketball season tickets, and every Priority Point improves each fan's ranking in the System.

Fans are encouraged to purchase their season tickets early for the best seats in the house.
ABOUT COACH Guy V. Lewis
After an award-winning playing career at Houston, Lewis served as an assistant for his coach Alden Pasche before assuming the head coaching position in 1956.
During the next 30 years, he assembled a resume that featured a 592-279 record, five NCAA Final Four appearances, including three straight from 1982 to 1984, six Southwest Conference championships, 14 NCAA Tournament appearances and 17 postseason berths.
He coached some of the greatest names in Houston and college basketball history, including 1968 National Player of the Year Elvin Hayes and All-Americans Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler in the early 1980s as part of the legendary Phi Slama Jama teams
In 1996, those three players were named part of the NBA's Top 50 Greatest Players list, making Lewis and North Carolina's Dean Smith the only head coaches to work with three players from that illustrious group in college.
To this day, Lewis remains one of only seven coaches in NCAA history to compete in nine or more Final Four games with one program (24, John Wooden, UCLA; 19, Mike Krzyzewski, Duke; 19, Dean Smith, North Carolina; 11, Adolph Rupp, Kentucky; 10 Denny Crum, Louisville and 9 Bob Knight, Indiana).
For his impressive achievements throughout his career, Lewis was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in September. He joined Hayes, Olajuwon and Drexler as the fourth Cougar to be enshrined.
Fans are invited to catch their first glimpse of the Men's and Women's teams during Cougar Red Madness. This exciting, annual event begins at 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 11, inside the Yeoman Fieldhouse in the Athletics/Alumni Center.
All fans are invited to this FREE event. Current UH students will receive free food and t-shirts while supplies last.
Dickey and Women's Head Coach Todd Buchanan will introduce the student-athletes from their respective teams, and players from both teams will take part in games throughout the night, including a 3-point shooting competition, a slam dunk contest and a 2-ball competition, featuring lucky students.
A year ago, House claimed the title in the slam-dunk contest, while Women's guard Porsche Landry took home the title in the 3-point shooting event. Now, the Men want to own both crowns, but the Women aren't ready to relinquish their title.

As photographers, what do we do between big projects? In between thinking about something else? To keep our mind's eye active and a state to receive what the world is showing us? According to Minor White's "The Camera Mind and Eye", the ability to stay sensitive and vigilant with camera in hand produces something interesting, eventually, something subconsciously turbulent.
If [the photographer] were to walk a block in a state of sensitized sympathy to everything to be seen, he would be exhausted before the block was up and out of film long before that. Perhaps the blank state of mind can be likened to a pot of water almost at the boiling point. A little more heat—an image seen—and the surface breaks into turbulence. Possibly the creative work of the photographer consists in part of putting himself into this state of mind. Reaching it, at any rate, is not automatic. It can be aided by always using one's camera for serious work so that the association of the camera in one's hands always leads to taking pictures.
Carrying a small digital or 35mm camera is conducive to achieving this state of mind. Whenever I came back to Hickory I tried hard to keep one on me at all times to spark something whenever I wasn't out on more serious photographing or onto a place where I knew what I wanted. It kept me open and sensitive.
Over the years this practice became more serious to me. I waited a while when I got the film or files back, scanned a few frames, edited them, and kept them hanging around on hard drives. But what does this work mean? Each picture seemed like a sentence out of longer narrative, a separate thought that somehow accompanied some larger feeling about whatever was going on in my life. Whenever I reached White's boiling point, the pictures became curtailed stories and occasional bits of prose.
I put these bits into a new zine called "Occasional Prose" and it features small moments I've found over a couple years. Staying vigilant, approaching boiling temperatures.

Choose faith over doubt
brokenclay Scottsdale, AZApril 4, 2011 9:10 a.m.
I'm going to side with donn on the debate. The problem here is that in some ways we are talking past each other, because Mormons don't believe in forensic justification as taught especially in Romans. Mormons will often throw out James as teaching a works salvation (he doesn't, properly understood), but then they don't bother to reconcile Paul's teachings to James'. donn has done this (see Luther's quote above). Ephesians 2:8-9 is the clearest statement you will find in the Bible of the relationship between faith and good works:
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
According to the verse, faith and works are antithetical. Paul himself says faith is not a good work. These works are also not limited to Mosaic Law-- they are any good work. I would also point out that 2 Nephi 25:23 is in direct contradiction with these verses, yet the allusion is clear. The only solution is to reject the authority and authenticity of the Book of Mormon.

OK, This is my Last Allowable Comment!
I am feeling that Donn is calling me Something-akin-to a D.E.M.O.N. (Not Of Mans Eternal Destiny)!
So, through my Priesthood, I have just held a Conversation (Telepathically), and Expressed myself to Donn, whilst he is Sleeping!
Unfortunately, Donn has Commented 4 Times now, and can therefore not Respond again! But, we have a See-Saw here:- Donn on the One Side, and me on the Other!
Deseret News has VERY Kindly Printed Both Sides, so that ALL Brethren reading, can Study and Choose their Own Views.
There are INDEED Many Demons with us on this Planet, and they are Just as Confused as ANY Human Being! BUT, I have found that with just a little Communication with them, I can convert them to Not Of Carbon, Although an Eternal Deity (D.E.A.C.O.N.)!

donn layton, UtApril 2, 2011 5:24 p.m.
Northern Lights: That's what I believe James stated "faith without works is dead." (James 2:20). Martin Luther explains, A man is justified(declared righteous before God)by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone . Genuine faith will produce good works. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law(Romans 3:28).
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word(the gospel)of God(Romans 10:17 KJV)
unless a man be born again (anothen=from above)he cannot enter into the kingdom of God(John 3:3 Greek N.T.)
Pentacone: Saving faith is only as good as the object(Biblical Jesus)of that faith or trust[not an exalted man]. Even the demons believe that there is One God(not gods)and shudder(James 2:19)
Pentacone Batley, W.YorkshireApril 2, 2011 3:31 a.m.
Dear All,
I am Very Impressed with ALL this Conversation.
I just need to say further, though:-
There are Many Meanings to the word FAITH
From; Faith that GOD The Father, Jesus and The HOLY GHOST Exists,
To; I have Faith in my Own Abilities, to Achieve the Task I am about to Embark upon (i.e. Stripping, and Repairing, the Engine of a Motor Vehicle, for instance)!
With Ever-More Love,
Joseph Peter Sheehan.
Serenity Manti, UTApril 2, 2011 12:20 a.m.
I am not a theologian, but I do know this. If we don't have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, take His holy name upon us, be baptized and accept His atoning sacrifice, we cannot be saved. Mormons do not now, or ever have believed that they can save themselves. Without the Savior's Atonement we cannot approach salvation. No one can.
Faith in God the Eternal Father and His Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, is the first Article of Faith of the LDS religion.
Faith is an action word. We believe that through the atonement we are saved but through faith we must also obey the laws and ordinances of the Lord's Gospel.
James says that faith without works is dead. Also that through faith we have works and through works, faith is made perfect. (Read James, the King James Version)
To me, it is clear that we must obey the commandments of God (works) in order to attain salvation. Through these works, i.e. obedience to the commandments, our faith is made perfect and our Savior will lead us to sanctification and eventually, eternal salvation
Northern Lights Louisville, KYApril 1, 2011 8:40 p.m.
Romans chapter 5 seems to support the idea that a person must take action for the grace of God to actually apply in their life. Paul wrote, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." (Romans 5:1-2) This verse tells me that one can only access grace through faith, or by exercising faith, in God. The LDS believe that faith is one of the first principles of the gospel. Faith is an action word, it is not a passive state. It is one of the good works an individual can perform. That's why I believe James stated "faith without works is dead." (James 2:20)
Romans 5 is accepted as doctrine by Mormons. And as you pointed out in Romans 3, all need to access grace through faith because all have sinned. But, God will not force faith onto anyone in order to access His grace. It is an individual choice to do so.
donn layton, UtApril 1, 2011 5:13 p.m.
Northern lights, For we know that is by grace that we are saved after all we can do(2 Nephi 25:23) very similar to, God helps those who help themselves!" Hezekiah 6:1, Which these "verses" are unbiblical in their meaning. The exact opposite of the message of scripture.
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; It is the gift of God; not by works,so no one can boast, For we are Gods workmanship created in Christ Jesus which God prepared in advance for us to do.(Eph 2: 8-10). Mormonism reverses sanctification(holiness)with soteriology(saved).
However to the man who does not work but trust God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. (Roman 5:4)
Pentecone,I prefer using the Biblical Greek word for sin(hamartia )= to miss the mark, to err, be mistaken, to wander from the law of God, violate God's law. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23 KJV)
Pentacone Batley, W.YorkshireApril 1, 2011 4:16 p.m.
Dear Donn,
Thank you for your Response, but I am a little confused.
You seem to be using the Word Faith, as some Ethereal Element, rather than a Day to Day Necessity (Act in Faith, that you will Succeed in your Deliberations)!
GOD Saves Sinners?
The Word S.I.N. stands for:- Not In Spirit (Backwards) i.e. We are acting in the Carnal Flesh State.
And, GOD, Himself, cannot SAVE us further! We have to Save ourselves now, by Exercising our Wisdom and Knowledge, at every opportunity, to Increase more and more, and thus become GOD-Like!
After-all, when we Pass-Away, we will find ourselves with the Exact Abilities After Death, as we have Before Death! (D.E.A.D. Deceased And Eternally Damned).
With All Love and Kindness,
Joseph Peter Sheehan.
Northern Lights Louisville, KYApril 1, 2011 2:29 p.m.
donn -
I have to respectfully disagree with your characterization of Mormonism. It is Mormon doctrine to believe that "it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do." (2 Nephi 25:23) This is no simple exercise of faith - this is instead a lifelong commitment to God.
Mormons invite the world: "Come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God." (Moroni 10:32)
Yes, God saves sinners through his grace - but sinners also have to want to be saved. God will not force Himself on anyone.
donn layton, UtApril 1, 2011 1:23 p.m.
Re: Pentacone,Saving Faith is a gift from God and is a genuine response to God from a regenerate heart(new birth). Regeneration precedes faith and repentance. God saves sinners.
Mormonism: Men and women can save themselves by the simple exercise of faith, self-righteousness.
This is what separates Christianity from other religions, faith starts from inside and works on the outside, not faith on the outside that works inside. He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy He saved through the washing of rebirth by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Christ Jesus our Savior. (Titus 3:5 NIV) Or, It does not depend on mans desire or effort but on Gods mercy. (Romans 9:5 NIV)
Pentacone Batley, W.YorkshireApril 1, 2011 10:21 a.m.

Our Faith is basically that, GOD Spoke to us through Joseph Jnr., and is still listening to our thoughts NOW, (Through His Beloved Son, Jesus).
To Test it Daily, we should look towards Coincidences.
We should Confidently make Decisions, Moment by Moment, (Based on our Current Knowledge, and using our Current Wisdom), and Doors WILL Open! (Line upon Line, Precept upon Precept).
Each Coincidence will Confirm, or Negate, the Original Decision, and thus Clarify our Knowledge, and Strengthen our Wisdom!
Almost all Daily Decisions involve other People, therefore, as a Simple Rule, Treat Others as you would wish them to Treat you! (Love Thy Neighbour as Thyself).
And, even though you may not have heard these sayings, in such simplicity, in our Scriptures, I assure you that it is by such a simple manner, that our Great Prophets, became Great!!
With Kindest Regards,
Joseph Peter Sheehan.
