Night weaning 19mo help
This is also posted in Parenting Talk, I just need help!
My 19mo still wakes to nurse 1-3 times a night, but he's just getting so big I can't get a decent nights sleep anymore. We have bunk beds in our room (it's literally "the bed room", lol) and our 4yo does wonderfully on the top bunk. I've tried putting him to sleep in his bed, bottom bunk, the past few nights. He now expects it. Bed time he goes to "his bed". But I'm always getting up to nurse him. All but one night I brought him to my bed, and I slept so little that night, it completely defeated the purpose.
All I want is some decent sleep, my DD spoiled me with it, slept through the night at 5 Weeks and every night since (once she wakes up though is a different story, lol).

Re: Night weaning 19mo help
Ha Ha, my son has the same birth date as yours and I'm going through the same thing with him. He always ends up in bed with me by the middle of the night, nursing couple times through the night. He's squirmy and big and I want him gone! I haven't found a solution yet either, I think I need my DH to settle him but so far that just ends in hours of no sleep for the whole house. His sister has absolutely no sleep problems and we've treated her the same (w/co-sleeping then moving to crib). Good luck momma, it can't last forever, right?!

Re: Night weaning 19mo help
Hi. I feel your pain! I started night weaning my son around the same age. It didn't take very long once I was committed to it.... He did get sick shortly after it was successful though and we went back to night nursing until he was feeling better and then started the night weaning process again. My son is now 2 years old and has been night weaned for several months.
This is what I did.
First, I didn't let him nurse to sleep at bedtime anymore. (Naptime is a different story. He still only nurses to sleep for his nap So what I did was, let him nurse until I could tell he had drank most or all of it... then popped him off and said, lets lay on the pillow together and sing songs. I would also say these 3 things so he understood. "No more milkies, milkies go bye-bye, milkies all gone." And he would sing songs. For the first few nights he was upset but I stayed there with him and sang to him and rubbed his belly until he would calm down. He would eventually fall asleep. Then if he woke up in the middle of the night to nurse I would say the same thing "no more milkies, milkies go bye-bye, milkies all gone, let's lay on the pillow with mama" and if he was upset I would sing to him or do whatever it took to calm him down while keeping him in bed and with the lights off.
It didn't take long and he stopped trying to nurse at night. He sill co-sleeps with me... but knows when he wakes up that we're not going to nurse so he will snuggle up closer and goes back to sleep quickly.
Hope this helps!

I might weaned my son because I wanted a break. I used Dr. Jay Gordon's method and it was awesome. Went from him attached to my boob all night to night weaned in about five nights. On my own! Woo!
He still half co-sleeps. We're attempting to transition him to his own bed so he starts out there and then moves into my bed with me.
I have since completely weaned him because it was stressful to me.
He still asks to nurse but then laughs it off and goes about his business. Silly kids.

Re: Night weaning 19mo help
i'm sad about night weaning my 13 month old. i know he can handle it, just don't know if i'm ready. ideally, he would be equally comfortable in our bed or in his crib. is this a pipe dream?
oh, how i love the nighttime snuggles!

Re: Night weaning 19mo help
Why not just put your LO in bed with you? I still nurse my 19 month old about 2-5 times at night and it barely even wakes me. He is right next to me and can pretty much latch himself. We all get great sleep!
I can understand how frustrated and exhausted you would feel getting up and going to another room, though! I couldn't do that... that would be so tiring.

The LP5910 is a low-noise LDO that can supply up to 300 mA of output current. Designed to
meet the requirements of RF and analog circuits, this device provides low noise, high PSRR, low
quiescent current, and superior line transient and load transient response. Using new innovative
design techniques the LP5910 offers class-leading noise performance without a noise bypass
capacitor and with the option for remote output capacitor placement.
The device contains a reverse current protection circuit that prevents a reverse current
flow through the LDO to the IN pin when the input voltage is lower than the output voltage.
When the Enable (EN) pin is low, and the output is in an OFF state, an automatic output
discharge circuit discharges the output capacitance for fast turnoff.
With its low input and low output voltage range the LP5910 is well-suited as a post DC-DC
regulator (post BUCK regulator) or for single- or dual-cell applications.
The device is designed to work with a 1-µF input and a 1-µF output ceramic capacitor. A
separate noise bypass capacitor is not required.
This device is available with fixed output voltages from 0.8 V to 2.3 V in 25-mV steps.
Contact Texas Instruments Sales for specific voltage option needs.

Evidence of man in Ohio goes back as far as 13,000 BC, with the first inhabitants after the last ice age most likely being Paleo-Indians who seemed to have disappeared after the Younger Days impact event . Later they were replaced by Archaic people who are refered to as Native Americans. The Archaic period has been seen as divided into Early, Middle and Late Archaic periods, it is thought of as the second (possibly) period of human occupation that took place 8,000 BC to 1,000 BC.. The Woodlands Period went from about 1,000 BC to 700 AD and included the Adena and Hopewell peoples who are sometimes referred to as the Mound Builders. Other cultures extended the Mound Builders period to about 1300 AD.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The Georgia College men's tennis team (14-3) finished off their spring break trip with a match against Division I University of Missouri-Kansas City. The Bobcats swept the doubles matches on their way to a 5-2 victory and the third win in as many matches for men's tennis during Spring Break.
Johan Wadstein (Helsingborg, Sweden) and Taylor Powell (Martinez, Ga.) battled in the No. 1 doubles slot against Tomas Patino and Grant Fleming. The Bobcat tandem defeated the Roos top tandem 9-7.
Yannick Hass (Troisdorf, Germany) and Wictor Andersson (Karlskoga, Sweden) came away with a fairly easy 8-4 win over Nino Hasadedic and Abdul Alwadhi.
Alex Schubert (Frankfurt, Germany) and Andreas Ainalides (Heusenstamm, Germany) teamed together for the second-straight match and took down Tim Akhmedov and David Heckler 9-7.
Division I rules dictate that doubles play awards one total point in the best of three setting, so the Bobcats took the 1-0 lead into singles play despite sweeping the Roos.
Andersson played out of the No. 6 slot and the senior brought home a quick 6-2, 6-2 win over Conner Edwards. Hass continued his strong freshman season with the 6-3, 6-1 defeat of Alawdhi. The two quick victories made the score 3-0.
Mattia Campus (Rome, Italy) clinched the team victory as the freshman battled Andrey Smirnov to a 7-6, 6-4 victory.
Wadstein gave the Bobcats an extra point as the senior battled against the Roos top singles option, Grant Fleming, with Wadstein winning 6-3, 7-6.
Ainalides and Schubert both battled to three-set decisions, but came away just short of the win. Ainalides faced off against Hasandedic with the Roos No. 2 winning 4-6, 6-2, 6-3. Schubert played against Patino at the No. 4 slot. Patino took the first set 6-3, but Schubert battled back to take the next set by the same score. The two continued as the final pairing still on the court, with Patino taking the final set 6-3.
The Bobcats return to the Centennial Center for a Peach Belt Conference (PBC) match against No. 27 Francis Marion University Saturday, March 30 at 11 a.m.

We are in the middle of a study of eschatology, focusing on Israel. We are at the beginning of the bigger study of eschatology, but kind of in the middle of studying the role that Israel plays in eschatology. If you wonder what eschatology is, that is a long word, it basically means the study of last things, from the Greek word eschatonwhich means last things. What does the Bible say about the end of the world? What does the Bible say about the end of history? What has God planned for the end?
And what I've been saying to you is that it matters greatly to God how redemptive history ends because the whole purpose of it is bound up in how it ends. The reason there is a created universe, the reason there is humanity, the reason there is a purpose unfolding in redeeming sinners, they're all focused in one direction and that is toward the great consummation, the great end in which God will be glorified. God is moving everything sovereignly to His own purposed, glorious end. And what is wonderful for us is that He has revealed so much about it in the Bible. There is so much that we can know about the end.
The book of Revelation, as we mentioned this morning, tells us the most. That's why we wanted you to pick up a free copy of the book, Because The Time is Near, so that you would have your own copy, it would help you to understand the wonderful truths of the end laid out in the book of Revelation. And we're going to go through those elements of the end that are revealed in Scripture as the weeks go by.
But Scripture is very clear about one thing. Foundational to any accurate understanding of the end is an accurate understanding of the future of Israel. This is the cornerstone of biblical eschatology. What I've been saying is pretty simple. If you get Israel right, you're going to get eschatology right. If you don't get Israel right, you will never get eschatology right. It is impossible to fully understand biblical teaching about the end times apart from understanding the future of Israel, the future of ethnic Jews in God's plan. And if you don't get Israel right, then your eschatology is confused and you cannot be blessed and you cannot give God appropriate glory and you cannot have a full hope for what lies ahead so that His glory is diminished, your joy and blessing are diminished as well. Getting Israel right means understanding what God has promised to do with Israel for Israel in the future. That all goes back to the Old Testament where God made irrevokable, unconditional, unilateral promises and covenants to Israel to be fulfilled in the future. And within those covenants, He promised that the nation would one day be saved, a generation of ethnic Jews would be saved, that they would inherit their originally promised land which God pledged to Abraham, that they would become a blessing to the whole world, that they would enjoy a Kingdom over which God's anointed King, the Messiah, would rule from Jerusalem with justice and righteousness and peace for a thousand years, that He would rule the whole world from Jerusalem, Israel being given a special place of blessing. This must come to pass because God has chosen Israel for this purpose in the end. It is then a matter of election. Israel is God's elect. The Bible calls Christ, "My Elect." The Bible calls the church, "God's Elect." And the Bible calls Israel, "My Elect." And thus it is strange, very strange, that it is the very historic theology of sovereign election whose advocates have denied this to Israel.
In the theological world where people believe in the doctrine of election more strongly than anywhere else, they are more prone to deny Israel's election than anywhere else. In fact, they have come up with the idea that the church, God's new and present elect, receives all the promises once given to Israel, all those promises and covenants having been cancelled to Israel because of Israel's apostasy, Israel's unbelief, and Israel's rejection of Christ, they then being permanently set aside, all the promises come to the church.
Where did this come from? And I want to answer that a little bit tonight because you are very careful in how you consider the things I teach you and I know the question will come up because it's already come up, how could they ever arise at such an idea? Where did it come from? There is no verse in the Bible anywhere that says the promises of God to Israel have been cancelled and the church is the new Israel. You can't find that in the Bible. The question then is, where did it come from?
Well it started historically with a man named Augustine in the fifth century. And because he is such a formidable and shaping theologian who really was the main influence in the lives of people like John Calvin and Martin Luther and John Owen and many other formidable students of Scripture, it has the power of these great names behind it. The idea then, which really began in a formal sense with Augustine, flowed down through these great Reformers and found honor among those who rightly honor the Reformers and so it has long survived.
However, reformed theology, as such, is hard pressed to prove the point. And, in fact, Reformed exegesis, that is the discipline of interpreting the Scripture, works very hard, I think, to manipulate the Scripture to avoid the obvious. They have come up with a view called amillennialism which says there is no Kingdom for Israel, and for that matter there is no earthly Kingdom period. It denies then certainly a future earthly Kingdom for a generation of ethnic Jews in which Christ reigns on earth and fulfills all the Old Covenant promises. Rather it is called replacement theology. The church replaces Israel and the blessings are spiritual. The Kingdom then becomes only a spiritual Kingdom and a heavenly Kingdom and not an earthly one at all. In order to make this work, as I said, they have to work really hard at moving their theological points around and they have to do some very manipulative exegesis to avoid what is clearly in the Bible. Scripture then has to be removed from its normal sense and placed in a category of interpretation so that it doesn't mean what it appears to mean, as basic as Israel doesn't mean Israel.
So to say it simply, to hold the view of amillennialists, called replacement theology, that the church replaces Israel in the promises of God, Israel as God's Elect is no longer God's Elect, cancelled out, to come up with this idea that there therefore is no real earthly Kingdom to fulfill those promises and that they are fulfilled in the spiritual life of the church both now and in heaven, you have to deny the nature of divine sovereign election. You have to basically say that when God called Israel His Elect, and when God gave them unconditional, unilateral, irrevokable promises, He didn't keep them, or He doesn't keep them, so that election doesn't mean permanent election, it might be temporary as in the case of Israel.
I don't know anybody who believes in the doctrine of election who thinks its temporary with the elect angels, or temporary with the elect Son or temporary with the elect church, so this has to be a category invented to accommodate replacement theology. The second thing that has to happen is, you cannot interpret Scripture in the normal meaning, the normal sense in which it is written both in the Old Testament and the New Testament because clearly in both testaments promises are made to Israel. Therefore Israel doesn't mean Israel, a thousand years doesn't mean a thousand years, reigning in Jerusalem doesn't mean reigning in Jerusalem, it means something else...something not apparent in any normal interpretation of the language. So you can see there are some extremes here in trying to make this work theologically when you have to reinvent the doctrine of election which is so sacred to us and when you have to change the normal meaning of the language.
Now, I want to having said that, say this, that throughout history there have been some in Reformed circles of great note who didn't buy this. I am particularly, as you probably known, drawn more to Scottish Reformed theology than I am to Dutch Reformed theology. And one of my favorite Scots in the area of theology is Horatius Bonar. He's a nineteenth century preacher, Scottish preacher and theological writer. In 1847 he wrote prophetic landmarks and he took a position very different from his Reformed friends, very different. He was always a strong advocate of the doctrines of sovereign grace. He was always a strong advocate of the doctrine of election. He affirmed as well that election was forever and therefore affirmed the primacy of the destiny of the Jews in the scheme of eschatology. So he was going against the grain of his day and his compatriots. This is what Bonar wrote in 1847: "The prophecies concerning Israel are the key to all the rest. True principles of interpretation in regard to them will aid us in disentangling and illustrating all prophecy. False principles as to them...that is Israel...will most thoroughly perplex and overcloud the whole Word of God," end quote. And that's right back to what I said and when I said it I hadn't yet found Bonar's comment. He says you can't get eschatology right if you don't get Israel right.
He further wrote of his conviction as to biblical clarity on this matter. And his language is so magnificent that it needs to be thoughtfully repeated. So let me read to you what Bonar wrote in 1847. "I am one of those who believe in Israel's restoration and conversion, who receive it as a future certainty, that all Israel shall be gathered and that all Israel shall be saved. As I believe in Israel's present degradation, so do I believe in Israel's coming glory and preeminence. I believe that God's purpose regarding our world can only be understood by understanding God's purpose as to Israel." Now remember, this is a time long before they had ever been gathered back into their land.
He went on to say, "I believe that all human calculations as to the earth's future, whether political or scientific, or philosophical, or religious, must be failures if not taking for their data or basis God's great purpose regarding the latter day standing of Israel. I believe that it is not possible to enter God's mind regarding the destiny of man without taking as our key or our guide His mind regarding that ancient nation, that nation whose history so far from being ended or nearly ended is only about to begin." He went on to say this, "He only to whom the future belongs can reveal it. He only can announce the principles on which that future is to be developed. And if He set Israel as the great nation of the future and Jerusalem as the great metropolis of earth, who are we that without philosophy of science we should set aside the divine arrangements and substitute for them a theory of man? Human guesses concerning the future are the most uncertain of all uncertainties and human hopes built upon these guesses are sure to turn out the most disappointing if not the most disastrous of all failures. I believe that the sons of Abraham are to re-inherit Palestine and that the forfeited fertility will yet return to that land, that the wilderness and the solitary places shall be glad for them, and the desert will rejoice and blossom as the rose. I believe that meanwhile Israel shall not only be wanderers, but that everywhere only a remnant, a small remnant shall be saved. And that it is for the gathering in of this remnant that our missionaries go forth. I believe that these times of ours are the times of the Gentiles and that Jerusalem and Israel shall be trodden down of the Gentiles till the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. I believe that the completion of what the Apostle calls the fullness of the Gentiles will be the signal for the judgments which are to usher in the crisis of earth's history and the salvation of Israel and the long-expected Kingdom."
Why did he believe that? Because that's exactly what the Bible says. I love the comment of Barry Horner who has written a new book called Future Israel, it won't be out until July. It is the end of the argument, it's that good. I got a pre-publication copy, 450 pages. I couldn't put it down, I read right through it in two days. And I thought, "This guy's been reading my mind." And then I got a letter from him saying, "I heard your message that you gave at the Shepherds Conference, on this subject and I find myself tripping over my 'amens.'"
But in this amazing book, researched better than anything I've ever seen on the subject, scholarly and yet warm-hearted and readable, Horner comments on some of these men who were going against the grain of amillennialism, like Bonar. In fact, he comments on Bonar's writing and says, "How refreshingly different is the attitude here from that of Augustine and Calvin. Undergirding this teaching is not the eschatological blending of national Israel into mere shadowy insignificance and obscurity, but rather the acknowledgment that while grace has blessed the Gentiles in a grand manner, so too will the same grace of God according to the same sovereign purpose ultimately bless the Jewish people in a most climactic and triumphant sense," end quote.
Another writer, William VanGemerin(?), writing in the West Minister Theological Journal, 1983, said, "Israel is the hermeneutical crux in the interpretation of prophecy." I love it when it comes out of Westminster Theological Seminary, which, of course, is a seed bed of amillennial thinking, but there are men and there always have been who take the Word at its face value. The key to eschatology then is Judeo centrism, if you want to coin a phrase. The key to eschatology is Judeo centrism which alone provides the cohesive base to integrate the various features of biblical prophecy. Still for centuries, right up until now, and I want to talk to you a little bit about this, there is a strong...let's use Barry Horner's term "Anti-Judaism." There is a strong anti-Judaism, not Semitism...not anti-Semitism as though it were a racial thing, but anti-Judaism as though it is a religious thing. There is a strong anti-Judaism in Reformed Theology saying Israel had lost its election, lost the right to all its covenants and promises.
For example, George Murray writing in Millennial Studies says, "To be sure the nation was sovereignly chosen by God, but God no longer deals with them as a chosen nation." I don't want to put words in their mouths so there are their own words. They were chosen, they aren't chosen anymore. They were elect, they're not elect anymore. Some contemporary anti-Judaism replacement theology, Anglicans, are so derogatory as to be anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian. In fact, some of them, according to Horner, would be delighted if the Arabs pushed Israel right into the Mediterranean Sea. This comes very clear in the book Future Israelwhich Horner writes is, quote, "Dedicated to the elucidation of the pre-mil perspective, especially as it focuses on national Israel that has been ignored, belittled, and distorted in Calvinistic Reformed and Sovereign Grace circles," end quote. Pretty direct, but true.
Horner goes on to say, "The wrong perception of Israel and the Jews by so-called Christians has produced consequences of horrific proportions during the history of the church. Such a shameful legacy perpetrated during the illustrious Reformation and onwards remains undiminished, largely unconfessed and still prevalent in substantial degrees up to the present within a Calvinistic Reformed and Sovereign Grace environment," end quote. What he is saying is that while we're being told we ought to apologize as a nation for the early attitude in America manifest in slavery toward African/American people, we ought to start apologizing to the Jews for the way the American church has treated them with its replacement theology.
Based on chapter 12 of Genesis, if a Christian's eschatology produces indifference toward the children of Abraham, or detachment from the children of Abraham, or antagonism toward the children of Abraham, you're in trouble because the Abrahamic Covenant says you bless them and God will bless you, you curse them and God will curse you. The issue then is...does Israel have a future as a nation? Scripture says it does. Many in the Reformed tradition deny that. Typical of this are the words say of a Dutch Calvinist, Herman Riterbosse(?) in his book, Paul: An Outline of His Theology., I quote him, "The church then as the people of the New Covenant has taken the place of Israel and national Israel is nothing other than the empty shell from which the pearl has been removed and which has lost its function in the history of redemption." It's over for them as a nation.
Now you have to ignore the clear words of Zechariah 12 to 14, Ezekiel 36 to 39, Romans 9 to 11, particularly. And you also have to do damage to your own understanding of sovereign grace because you are saying that Israel failed to believe, Israel failed to embrace Christ, and so Israel on its own failed to do what it was supposed to do. By saying that, you would have to also say that Israel would have guaranteed its own place in the future purposes of God if on its own it had done what was right. The problem is, nobody can believe except by the sovereign grace of God. Israel has failed but that has not altered God's plan because the generation that is elect has not yet come. To believe that the church somehow has earned the promises given to Israel because we pulled it off on our own and Israel didn't, that kind of thinking is foreign to our thinking of sovereign grace. Do we fail to grasp that we as a church exist only by divine sovereign grace and that we are no more able to believe than the Jews were able on their own to believe? Do we think that somehow we've inherited the promise because we were able to do what they were not able to do? The truth of the matter is, we were enabled to do what they were not enabled to do because that generation has not yet come. And if Romans 9 through 11, and we'll get to that, teaches anything, it teaches that salvation is by sovereign grace and election alone for the church now and many Jews that are brought into the church and for Israel in the future. To make a human contingency or human achievement the factor in prophetic fulfillment is not true to the doctrine of sovereign grace.
So you're asking the question...How in the world did this idea get such momentum? Well, as I said, it was Augustine, North African church father came up with this idea, established this idea that the church was the new Israel. Thirteenth century, the church establishes Replacement as canonical law. It becomes the official dogma of the church.
Let me give you a little bit of the history written by Robert Wistrick(?). "Augustine even likened the Jewish people to Cain, the first criminal recorded in biblical history who had murdered his own brother and merited death but instead had been condemned to wander unhappily ever after." Augustine saw the Jewish people like Cain, alive but dispossessed, a perpetual wanderer. "The Jews," Augustine said, "might deserve to be eradicated for their crime, rejecting Christ, but Augustine preferred that they would be preserved as wandering witnesses until the end time." Witnesses to what happens when you reject the truth. Augustine did suggest, however, that they would turn to Christ at the last judgment. The canonical legislation of the church in the thirteenth century fully institutionalized the reprobate status of the Jew and the doctrine which the church called Servitus Judae Oram(???), the perpetual servitude of the Jews. The Jews then had to be subordinate to Christians. They could exercise no position of authority and Christian society had to be originally protected from contamination through living, eating, or engaging in any sexual relationship with a Jew. That was church law.
The Lateran Council, thirteenth century, the year 1215, codified this to segregate the Jews. And in the thirteenth century, the Lateran Council segregated the Jews by requiring them to wear distinguishing dress. In Germanic lands they wore a conical hat and what they called a Jew-badge, usually a yellow disc sewn into their clothing whose color symbolized Judas betraying Christ for gold coins. That's what was done to them in Latin countries. The effects of the badge required to be worn and the conical hat were to make the Jews more visible and vulnerable to attack which reduced their ability to travel. And so they formed ghettos, twelve hundreds. The German Reformation a few hundred years later under Luther's guidance led to a very unfavorable direction for the Jews, seeded hatred sewn deep, Luther did nothing to remove it. It eventually found its full flower in the Third Reich with Hitler. And the German Protestants showed themselves amazingly receptive to Nazi anti-Semitism, it was so ingrained for so many centuries. You can go back to the Council of Nicaea in 325, a council which was debating the nature of Christ, came up with the right understanding of the nature of Christ. But in the documents of the Council of Nicaea, Jews are called "that odious people."
This attitude stuck and it stuck throughout the Middle Ages. They were mostly resented, hated and often killed. In the fourteenth century, Jewish books were burned. At the end of the thirteenth century they were expelled from England by Edward I and allowed to come back 350 years later under Cromwell. In 1144 in Norwich, England, the Jews were charged with killing their babies to drain the blood to use in the Matsos, the unleavened bread of Passover. Of course in the sixteenth century, the time of the Reformation pervasive anti-Jewish attitudes pervaded in Europe. Hikel(?) Overman writing in a book, The Roots of Anti-Semitismsays, "Hatred of the Jews was not an invention of the sixteenth century, it was an inherited assumption." And sad to say, the Reformation didn't change it. Sixteen forty-eight, the Ukranian Jews were butchered and it is a strange and sad thing to say that in the last sermon that Luther preached before he died, he called for all Jews to be driven out of Germany. He was fighting on another front, never really got around to dealing with that issue which was so ingrained in the culture. This...this led to this Amillennial Replacement Theology and it became so ingrained. Interesting further study that Barry Horner points out, the CRC, which is the Christian Reformed Church, Dutch Reformed Calvinism, squelched all pre-millennialism. And interestingly enough, they...they would not tolerate anybody believing in a future kingdom for Israel. Anybody who did was placed under investigation. You could find that in their own history. They actually went so far as to forbid preaching or discussing premillennialism.
Wystricks(??)says in his book, Anti-Semitism, The Longest Hatred, "The Augustinian theology reinforced the notion of the Jews as a wandering, homeless, rejected and accursed people who were incurably cardinal, blind to spiritual meaning, perfidious, faithless, and apostate, their crime being one of cosmic proportions merited permanent exile and subordination to Christianity." One writer, W.J. Greer writing in the most...in the momentous event, said, "The power of Augustine is best seen in the fact that he removed the ghost of premillennialism so effectively that for centuries the subject was practically ignored."
Now this actually continues to be an issue today. In our modern world, our tolerant world, a world that embraces everybody and everything, there is still this subjective sort of impositional pre-suppositional anti-Judaism, if not anti-Semitism, not necessarily racist but this anti-Judaism mentality. Melanie Philips, a Jewish columnist for The London Daily Mail, wrote a really amazing article about the Anglican Church hostility toward Israel. This is some of which she said, "The church's hostility has nothing to do with Israel's behavior toward the Palestinians." And she wrote this after she went to a conference of the Anglicans discussing Israel and the Palestinians, the current situation. This is what she wrote, "The church's hostility has nothing to do with Israel's behavior toward the Palestinians, this was merely an excuse. The real reason for the growing antipathy was the ancient hatred of Jews rooted deep in Christian theology and now widespread once again, a doctrine," she wrote, "going back to the early church fathers, suppressed after the Holocaust, has been revised under the influence of the Middle Eastern conflict. This doctrine is called...this is a Jewish writer...Replacement Theology. In essence it says that the Jews have been replaced by the Christians in God's favor and so all God's promises to the Jews, including the land of Israel, have been inherited by Christianity." That is Replacement theology.
You can go to websites like Christian Zionism.org, and other websites and find many Anglican leaders that are pro-Palestinian, think Israel has absolutely no right to the land. Christian anti-Judaism is strong in the U.K., very strong, much to the delight of the two million Muslims that now live there. It's interesting to find the quote/unquote Anglican church taking their view of Israel. One writer, Colin Chapman, an Anglican who wrote Whose Promised Land?, question mark, says, "Israel is responsible for Hamas and Islamic Jihad." He is supported, by the way, by such notable scholars as N.T. Wright who says, "Israel doesn't mean an ethnic people, but it means a worldwide family." To support his own view, Chapman says, "The Old Testament is not the inerrant Word of God, it is simply a very ethno-centric interpretation of Israelitish history."
Well all of that, and that's probably more than you wanted to hear, but the things I say here go far and wide. Do you understand that? It's time for Bible-believing Reformed Sovereign Grace Christians who affirm scriptural inerrancy and legitimate interpretation to drop this tragic error and get Israel in the right place or we're never going to understand God's unfolding purpose, to say nothing of having some bad attitude toward these people...absolutely unacceptable. That is not to say that the Israel of today in the land of Israel is God's people. The race is chosen, a future generation will be saved, but present-day Israel lives in apostasy and unbelief and the rejection of Jesus Christ and can claim no protection from God now. God will preserve them as a race. God is not obligated to protect them currently as a people. They are under divine judgment, as are all people who reject Christ. But they do have a future.
Now that being said, I have very little time left. But we need to look at the Bible for a moment. I said I wanted to go through some questions to answer this dilemma. Is the Old Testament amillennial? Were the Jews of Jesus' day amillennial? Was Jesus amillennial? Were the Apostles who wrote the New Testament and those associates of the Apostles amillennial? Were the early church fathers amillennial? We're going to answer those questions and then give you some very important conclusions.
First question...Is the Old Testament amillennial? We started, didn't we, last time with the Abrahamic Covenant in Genesis 12 and following chapters and we said that obviously God promised Abraham a seed, a nation, a land, blessing and through them blessing to the world. Specifically, a nation...a nation that would grow like the sands of the sea and the stars of the heaven, a nation that would have a land and possess the land and be blessed and be a blessing to the world, and through that nation a seed, not just seeds, but a seed, as the Apostle Paul describes it in Galatians, meaning a ruler, a Messiah which assumes a Kingdom. It's all in the Abrahamic Covenant, we saw that last time.
The second great covenant in the Old Testament is the Davidic Covenant. Now I just want to show you that briefly. Turn to 2 Samuel chapter 7...2 Samuel chapter 7. Our intention is not to cover every aspect of this passage, but to draw out those things which are pertinent to answering the question...Is the Old Testament amillennial? The Davidic Covenant, this is a covenant made with David. It really is an expansion and an extension of the Abrahamic Covenant. It's not something disconnected, it's something very, very connected. Second Samuel chapter 7, verse 12, "When your days are complete," God tells David, "you will lie down with your fathers. I'll raise up your descendant after you who will come forth from you and I will establish His Kingdom." Now in verse 13, "He shall build a house for My name, I will establish a throne of His Kingdom forever." So we know He's not talking about Solomon. He's talking about a forever Kingdom. He does speak of Solomon, the one who will be a son and commit iniquity and be corrected, but down in verse 16 He moves again beyond Solomon to the forever King and the forever Kingdom, "Your house, and Your kingdom shall endure before Me forever, Your throne shall be established forever." God is saying to David, "Out of your loins, out of your line is going to come a King with an everlasting Kingdom."
Over in 2 Samuel chapter 23 we come to the last words of David as he comes to the end of his life. And his last words are recorded for us here. And if you'll drop down in to verse 5, this is what David knew to be true and what he said at the end of his life, "Truly it's not my house, so with God." In other words, to be blessed by the God of Israel, the rock of Israel, the one who rules is not my house so blessed for He has made an everlasting covenant with Me, ordered in all things and...what's the next word?...secured. For all My salvation and all My desire will He not indeed make it happen?" Will He not indeed...a better way to translate...do it? It is an everlasting covenant.
What is promised to David? A house, that is a progeny, a seed, a Kingdom. And again, it sounds...go back to chapter 7...so much like the Abrahamic Covenant. Verse 12, "I will raise up your descendant. I will establish His Kingdom." Verse 13, "I will establish the throne of His Kingdom forever." Verse 16, "Your house, Your Kingdom shall endure before Me forever. Your throne shall be established forever. I will...I will...I will." This extends the Abrahamic Covenant. Yes a Kingdom, yes a King, and the King through the line of David, an eternal Kingdom that will not only bless the people who are the sons of Abraham, but a Kingdom that will bless the world.
Psalm 72, just quickly, Psalm 72 speaks of the reign of the great King who will come and establish His Kingdom and bring peace to the people, and verse 3, the hills in righteousness, and so forth, it goes on to describe this wonderful, glorious Kingdom. This is a Psalm that speaks of an enduring name, verse 17, an increasing name that all the nations will call blessed. Verse 18, "Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel who alone works wonders. Blessed be His glorious name forever. May the whole earth be filled with His glory, Amen, Amen." David is celebrating here the wonderful promise of the King. He will rule, according to verse 8, from sea to sea, from river to the ends of the earth, etc. You can read it for yourselves. Psalm 89 is another of these great Psalms of the King that celebrate the covenant that God made with David, and again Psalm 89 has those same magnificent characteristics of the Kingdom. It ends with the same approach, verse 52, "Blessed be the Lord forever, amen and amen." And Psalm 89 is directed right at the covenant God made with David. Look at verse 35, "Once I have sworn by My holiness, I will not lie to David, his descendants shall endure forever and his throne as the Son before Me. It will be established forever like the moon and the witness in the sky is faithful." God is here binding Himself to this great covenant. It is unilateral, I will...I will. It is unconditional, God says I will do it, there are no human contingencies. It is irrevokable, the language of Romans 11, the gifts and callings of God are without repentance, they are irrevokable. It is a grant that can never be taken away. There is no other way to interpret these covenants.
But both the Abrahamic Covenant and the Davidic Covenant depend on one other covenant. Let me show it to you. Jeremiah 31...Jeremiah 31, this is all we will do for tonight. Jeremiah 31, the Abrahamic Covenant expands in to the Davidic Covenant which expands in to the New Covenant which is the only way that the promises of the Abrahamic and Davidic covenant can come to pass. This is the only means of fulfillment and it is the New Covenant. Jeremiah 31 verse 31, also made with Israel, verse 31, "Behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the hand of Egypt. Not like the Mosaic or Sinaitic Covenant, the Covenant of Law, not like that. "y Covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them, declares the Lord."
See here's the dilemma. You have the Abrahamic Covenant with all its promises. You have the Davidic promises with all its promises. And how to do you get to the fulfillment of those? You have then the Mosaic Covenant which only proves that they can't qualify for the blessings of the Abrahamic and the Davidic, because they can't keep the Mosaic. So the Mosaic Covenant only curses them. You've got to come to the New Covenant. And the New Covenant isn't like the Mosaic Covenant. "his is a covenant...verse 33...which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord." And this is the kind of Covenant this is, "I will put My Law within them and on their heart I will write it and I will be their God and they shall be My people." That's the New Covenant. It is that covenant which God promises one day He will change their hearts and write the Law inside of them. And then He will be their God and they shall be His people. And again would you please notice, this is the covenant I will make, I will put My Law on their heart, I will write it, I will be their God. There are the "I wills" again, it is an unconditional, unilateral, sovereign, gracious, irrevokable covenant.
How irrevokable is it? Verse 35, "Thus says the Lord who gives the sun for light by day, and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night," this is reminiscent of the Psalm we just read, "who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar, the Lord of hosts is His name, the Creator God, the upholder of His creation, if this fixed order departs from before Me, declares the Lord, then the offspring of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever."
Wow, as far as I can tell, everything is still going the way it's supposed to, right? The sun's doing what it's supposed to do. The stars are doing what they're supposed to do. The moons are doing what they're supposed to do. And therefore God hasn't changed His mind. "Thus says the Lord...verse 37...if the heavens above can be measured...and they can't...and the foundation of the earth searched out below...and it can't...then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the Lord." There is in one passage the answer to Replacement Theology. God is not going to cast off Israel even for what they have done. And listen to this, the New Covenant was given through Jeremiah at a time when Israel's disobedience was so severe, they were punished by God. They were under divine punishment, under divine judgment at the very time this covenant was given to them. Jeremiah is what kind of prophet? He is a weeping prophet...weeping over Israel's judgment, the captivity. The New Covenant is not a reward for their faithfulness, it is given in spite of their unfaithfulness. God says there will be a day when I will change their hearts sovereignly and I will be their God and they shall be My people. "And they shall not teach again...verse 34...each man his neighbor and each man his brother saying, 'Know the Lord, for they shall all know Me'...the whole nation....from the least of them to the greatest of them,' declares the Lord, 'or I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will remember no more.'" There is a word for that..salvation. This is the promise of salvation to Israel. Promise them a seed, promise them land, promise them a Kingdom, promise them a King, but they can't have any of it unless God saves them. And He will...and He will not change His plan anymore than He will allow the fixed order of His creation to be altered. And when that Covenant comes, He'll write His Law on the inside.
We as Gentiles, how do we fit in? Hey, we're going to be in the Kingdom. We are the beneficiaries of all the promises to Abraham. We have been blessed to Abraham, right? Messiah is the Son of Abraham, we by faith are children of Abraham. We will possess all those promises. We'll be there in the Kingdom.
What about the promises to David about a Kingdom and a King? He's our King, too. It's not exclusively Israel's. It is the fulfillment of promises made to them, they are the witnessed people through whom God fulfills His promises, but they embrace the world. The world is blessed as even before that, we are blessed in the tents of Shem because it was Shem who produced Abraham. We'll be there in the Kingdom, we'll receive all the blessings of the glorious reign of Christ on earth whether we've been glorified before, or whether saints enter into the Kingdom who are alive at the time, we'll be there, all who believe. We'll all receive the benefits of the reign of Jesus Christ on His throne. And we all are saved on the terms of the New Covenant which is ratified in the blood of Christ on the cross and by the ratification of that blood He makes the New Covenant valid. And we all enter in to salvation through the New Covenant, and He's written His Law in our hearts as well. We all get in on all of it. We're not denying that. I'm not saying that we are not going to be the recipients of the promises to Abraham, promises to David and promises of the New Covenant given here to Jeremiah, we are all the recipients of those things as well, but not replacing Israel. The New Testament includes the...the New Covenant, I should say, or the New Testament in His blood, the New Covenant includes the elements of the Abrahamic covenant and the Davidic Covenant. If you go back to the early part of Jeremiah 31, even earlier in that chapter, just start reading the chapter, read all the way up to verse 30 and you're going to see some very physical blessings. They're going to come in Jeremiah 31 to all of us, to the wider world. We're either...we're even going to come under the great reign of the great King. We're all going to serve the great King, all the nations of the world are going to come under His sovereign, righteous, glorious rule. You find indications of that back in chapter 30.
If you want further details on the New Covenant, turn to Ezekiel 36, let me just very quickly have you look at Ezekiel 36 just so you have a little bit of familiarity with it. This rehearses again the same terms, the same realities of the New Covenant. Verse 34, "I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols...here we go again...I will take you, I will sprinkle, I will cleanse. Moreover, verse 26, I will give you a new heart, put a new Spirit within you. I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh, give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you, cause you to walk in My statutes. You will be careful to observe My ordinances. You'll live in the land that I gave to your forefathers so that you will be My people, I will be your God. Moreover I will save you from all your uncleanness." Magnificent...magnificent language.
Verse 33, "On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited in the waste places to be rebuilt." Now...He says, "Once I've cleansed you, the Kingdom comes and the desolate land will be cultivated, instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passed by, and they will say this desolate land has become like the Garden of Eden, and the waste desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited and the nations that are left round about you will know that I the Lord have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolate. I the Lord have spoken and will do it. Thus says the Lord God. This also, I will let the house of Israel ask Me to do for them, I will increase their men like a flock, like a flock for sacrifices, like the flock of Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so will the waste cities be filled with flocks of men and then they will know that I am the Lord." I will...I will...I will...this is all sovereign work on God's part, there's no human contingencies. God will do it. In the language of chapter 37, "He will gather the dry bones of Israel."
Is the Old Testament amillennial? Not hardly. When God gave unilateral unconditional sovereign gracious promises to Israel, they will be fulfilled by an elect people in the future whom God will enable to repent and believe. These promises are guaranteed by divine faithfulness and to be fulfilled like all His salvation work by divine power in divine time. And when God says those promises are irrevokable, they are irrevokable and you cannot without impunity for any seemingly convenient idea or assumption say they are voided.
You say, "What about Israel's apostasy?" Doesn't cancel the promises. As I said, when He gave them the New Covenant, they were under judgment. Furthermore, Jesus reiterates the New Covenant, ratifies the New Covenant in His blood at the very hands of the apostate Jews. The New Covenant is reiterated to Israel through their own Messiah at a time when they were under apostasy and on the brink of judgment which came a few years later in 70 A.D. But Israel will exist through these judgments until the covenants are fulfilled.
I just have to show you one other text so I don't have to go back over this. Zechariah 12, quickly, verse 10...I did an entire study on Zechariah, it's available on tape, I did it many years ago, it's still just a riveting study. Zechariah 12:10, just follow quickly, "I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem...this is more New Covenant language...the spirit of grace and supplication...here it is...I will, I will, and they will look on Me whom they have pierced." Wow. In the future, God is going to pour out on the house of David, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on Me whom they've pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only son. They're going to mourn for the Messiah that they crucified and they're going to weep bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a firstborn. "In that day there will be great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo, and the land will mourn every family by itself." And it goes to listing all the family. "In the day that they mourn, in the day that they look on the one they pierced, in that day...verse 1 of chapter 13...in that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for impurity." And what is the fountain going to do? "Wash them and cleanse them. And in that day, declares the Lord, here come the I wills...I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, they will no longer be remembered, I will also remove the prophets of the unclean spirit from the land," and so forth and so on.
Verse 8, "It will come about in all the land, declares the Lord, two parts in it will be cut off and perish." Two thirds of the Jews will perish, one third will be left, that will be that final Israel that is saved. "I'll bring the third part through the fire, refine them as silver is refined. Test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, I will answer them. I will say they are My people. They will say the Lord is my God." Finally this is how it ends. And when that happens, verse 9 of 14, "The Lord will be King over all the earth, the Lord will be King over all the earth. In that day the Lord will be the only one," there will only be one religion in the Kingdom, "and His name the only one. All the land will be changed into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; Jerusalem will rise and remain on its site from Benjamin's Gate as far as the place of the First Gate to the Corner Gate and the Tower of Hananel for the king's wine presses. People will live in it, there will be no more curse, Jerusalem will dwell in security." Boy, that's good news, huh? (Amen) A secure Jerusalem.
Verse 16, "Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths. It will be that whichever of the families of the earth doesn't go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, there will be no rain on them. And if the family of Egypt doesn't go up or enter, there will be no rain falling on them; it will be the plague with which the Lord smites the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. This will be the punishment of Egypt, the punishment of all the nations who don't go up to celebrate." This is when the Lord reigns and He's going to call for the restoration of ancient feasts because now they will have new meaning. And the whole world better come and worship. Verse 20, "In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, 'HOLY TO THE LORD.' And the cooking pots in the Lord's house will be like bowls before the altar." Everything will become sacred, even the bells hanging on the animals.
That's the Kingdom. Clearly the Old Testament sees a Kingdom after a future salvation of Israel.

It's been five months since my last post and honestly it seems like yesterday for me. Having taken on a team lead/architect consulting role has pretty much sapped all of my free time. The result is almost no work done on the new Textfyre website and no progress on publishing existing content to mobile platforms. Trying to get Empath completed or even thinking about new games has been impossible.
I am pushing Klockwerk to the #1 eReader device (about which I can't discuss openly until we are actually published), but there are a couple of artifacts in the works that need to be completed before that happens. One of which is artwork. There will be a unique and new drawing for each chapter within Shadow in the Cathedral. Some of these drawings include the tea machine, Covalt, and the Cathedral of Time. Trust me, when you see the results you'll be amazed. The artist I'm working with is great, but slow.
I also have to pull together a good tutorial mode for the game and I'm working on that. It's obvious that Jon Ingold is focused on Inkle now, but he's been able to help with some of the required changes to the Shadow source code.
The Textfyre website with a Web 2.0 game play mode is mostly completed, but there are some performance issues I'm still working through. The big hit comes from serializing the engine every turn. I may have to work through caching logic to resolve these issues. I also need to get Shadow and Secret Letter implemented and run through testing on them. I plan to have Cloak of Darkness, Shadow, and Secret Letter available when the new site launches.
The cool thing about the website is that it works very well on the iPad.
Textfyre is still here, plugging along.

Well, I did it. Ordered a Dillon SDB .45 today along with a Midway Tumbler, calipers, powder funnel and a scale. I have a SA 1911 Loaded model and a Glock 30 that the reloads will be shot out of. Now a few more questions.
1. I have decided on using copper plated round nose bullets. Looks like Berry's and West Coast have about the best prices ~$68 per 1000. Do any of you have good or bad experiences with these bullets? Anybody else making good plated bullets cheaper?
2. Do I use jacketed or lead reloading info from the manuals for these plated bullets?
3. I will be using W231 powder. How about a good load for plinking and one for pin shooting?
4. For those of you with an SDB, does it come with a crimping die? If not, do I really need one? If so, which one?
5. Any other misc equipment I need? Headspace gauge/case gauge, deburring tool etc?
Thanks all.

Rainier also make copper plated bullets. Now, here is where you may run into problems. Some of these bullets are powder specific and the loads are neither jackets or lead. You may want to look into this a bit more before you commit to the powder. There is also another source, National Bullet Company. They use a very thin coat of copper and they recommend lead load data for their bullets. Sorry, can't help you with the dies, I use RCBS and lee dies.

faiello5: Welcome to the club! As far as "other misc. equipment" goes you really should go out and get several reloading (data) manuals. Compare the loads shown in them and use your own judgement. Also a good dial caliper. Case gauges for each caliber are nice. If you are truly brand new to all this, then definately get a reloader handbook aimed at the novice reloader as well. Think safety. Be conservative. You've got a great adventure ahead if you just follow a few simple rules and pay attention to detail. Enjoy and Stay safe. oh yeah...the SDB comes with the appropriate crimp die for each caliber...taper crimp for the autos...

So far I have only used the Ranier bullets, so I don't have specific experience with the Berrys or Nationals. A call or email to the mfr might help, but frankly, I would put more faith in a search here for posted range results from some experienced users.
In their "pistol" die sets, Dillon includes the accu-crimp die for revolvers and a taper crimp for autos. And yes, you really need one.
A headspace gauge is a good tool to have. I only deburr and mouth chamfer rifle cases.
If you don't have a kinetic bullet puller, you will need one. Trust me on this one.
'Haven't used W231. Remember, for plinking with reduced power loads, you may need to change out a recoil spring. In order to get a real "plinking" load you can run into functioning problems. So, stay in the lower end of the load range of your reloading books and try not to disable your Springfield from using a normal power load.
If you want to do that, I'd advise picking up another 1911 to configure that way and keep your plinker loads segregated from normal defense loads.
The plinker loads may not fully cycle a normal strength recoil spring and a full house load can beat up a reduced load (low power recoil spring) configured pistol, and you, pretty good.
All this may be obvious, but you mentioned a plinker load and I don't know if you have more than one 1911-type pistol, so be remember its configuration when you load for it.
Best of luck. Welcome to reloading.
BTW, I used 2x6s on edge, side-by-side, cut about 6 ft long, to make my benchtop. So it ended up 5 1/2 in thick, about 20 in deep and six ft long. I used 4x4s for legs and 1x12s for a work surface-down skirt which extends down past the 2x6s and braces the 4x4s. I added additional horizontal braces between the 4x4 legs, up high, so I don't hit my knees if I sit on a stool. I cut the legs long enough that the bench top is about 6 inches above mid-tummy, so I stand to reload with my RL 550B. I also have a stool, but rarely use it. Keep it clean.

Here is a place to get very high quality copper bullets at a very low cost.
Also yes the SDB comes with a crimping die it is the last stage in the process.

I'm away from home now, so I don't have a number or address to give you regarding the bullets. Point being, I have bought Star jacketd (not plated) 230gr RN for less than you are contemplating for plated bullets. It's been only a few years, so the price I paid may still be close. More when I can find my stuff.

I've always used lead bullet data for copper plated bullets. The copper plating normally isn't hard enough or thick enough to make a big difference.
Beware the man with the S&W .357 Mag.
Chances are he knows how to use it.

1. I've used West Cost and Berrys, although not in a couple of years. WC had much thicker plating; Berrys would be etched with a fingernail. For same $'s I'd use WC. If I could save a bunch I'd get Berrys.
2. WC told me to use Jacketed data.
3. I've never used 231 but I know alot of people who have/do. The people who seem the happiest with it are old timer, bullseye guys working up very soft target loads. I've recently switched to Universal and like it. Works good in 10mm too.
4. No SDB here, I have a 550b. But its my understanding that the last station in the SDB is a taper crimp die.
5. Case Guage - Depending on the chamber cut on your 30 and how hot you load you may end up with pot-belly brass that wont chamber in the 1911. The case guage will help you sort out the bad apples.
Primer pocket uniformer - If you end up with any military brass with the crimped primers this tool will cut out the crimp.
Primer flip tray - Makes it alot easier to fill the primer tubes.
Dillon Border Shift Ammo Bag - Its fun to run your hand around in the loaded ammo side when its full---swish swish swish --Ammo goooood!--- and I've got so much I cant be bothered to box it or count it----ahhhhhh.
Did you order any media for the tumbler? You can find it cheeper at stores that sell to sand blasters and I understand that PetSmart sometimes has crushed walnut shells. Also, that blue stuff from dillon you put in the tumbler. Their squirl cage media seperator is very handy but not required.
Pay attention, load safe, good luck, enjoy the hell out shooting for $5/box.

I'm stunned that nobody used W231 for their .45 loads, it's the only powder I use for them anymore. It's clean burning, and makes a very consistent and accurate load for me. You can go from "powder puff" to full power loads with it, it's a great powder for .45ACP.

I guess I am the oddball but I have never been able to get acceptable accuracy from plated bullets (Speer's Gold Dot and TMJ bullets are the notable exception). Cast lead SWC's perform well in my Colt but I stick to jacketed bullets in my G30.
For a GREAT load in that G30 (and should be fine in the SA) I recommend Nosler's 185 grain JHP over 5.3 grains of Hodgdon's TiteGroup. This is by far the most accurate load I have tried in the G30.
Good Shooting!

I'm currently using Berry's 200 gr. SWC's in my .45acp reloading and use West Coast 115 gr. FMJ's in my 9mm reloads. I've also used Rainier and Star bullets. IMHO I can't tell any difference among them. With the right powder, etc. combination they all work fine for me. No big deal trying to decide if lead or jackedted data is more appropriate. Most manuals have much more data for jacketed bullets than lead bullets. Just pick a jacketed load, reduce the starting load by 10% and start working from there. With a few trial & error's you'll soon find the best bullet/powder combination for your particular pistol.
As far as additional reloading equipment required, I'd reinforce some previous posters comments by saying you'll need a kinetic bullet puller, primer flipper tray, and go/no go cartridge gauge.
I load on a SDB and the fourth station is the crimp station. The proper crimping die for the caliber comes with the SDB.
Happy reloading & good shooting.....Rod.

in a weekendMonday, March 23, 2009
There was knitting this weekend. My new favorite "go to" baby gift set.
I have been making the Dulaan Hat for a couple of years and just found the link on Ravelry. Using size 10 1/2 needles and a ball of Lambs Pride Bulky, you can knit that hat in an hour. With the remaining yarn I make thumbless mittens joined by an i-cord. The i-cord was my favorite on my kids mittens. Heck. I wish they would still let me put i-cords on their mittens. I can't stand searching for lost mittens.
And there was baking. Chocolate n' Cream cookies from April '09 everyday food. Anyone else try those? I had to double the amount of butter in the cookies and the cream filling. Well worth it. We devoured those and now have to make more.

oh, i'm so making those cookies this week! i have the issue sitting on the counter.ReplyDelete
cute knits, L!!
Sweet, adorable and fabulous "go to" baby gift. Heck, I'd love me some i-cords on my gloves. How wonderfully youthful would that be as we strut around town running errands? :DReplyDelete
And because you ARE an inspiration...your photography, your joy in family, and your creative arts...so much so that I find myself lost in poetry with each visit here, there is a little token of cyberlove over at my blogspot. Thank you, Leslie, for opening up your world, closing the distance in miles, and sharing your person!
We just had a new baby boy born to our group over the weekend. Now, I may need to add a hat and mitts to the blanket I am gifting.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing :)
You and your cookies! The both of you are a wonder! You should compile all your faboo cookie posts. I bet the sheer volume of cookie awesomeness would astound you and all your readers. <3ReplyDelete
what a darling baby set! I've printed your instructions and will likely give this a try for a quick gift at some point. and yes, I saw the cookies in the everyday food - haven't gotten around to making them yet, but your praising recommendation makes me feel like I 'need' to.ReplyDelete
What a great baby gift! isn't it so fun knitting for little ones? Those cookies look delish. I have a similar cookie recipe called homemade oreos...I'm hankering for them now! Have a great week.ReplyDelete
I love the little tag you've paired with you gift. Nice touch.ReplyDelete
ooo, the cookies look delicious!ReplyDelete
The pattern is very cute, I think I will try it out soon- the yarn you used looks really soft too.
I love the go to knits. One of our Thursday night group is having a September baby. I think she'll be getting that set as a present. Thanks for the idea.ReplyDelete
Yummm...looks like I'll be making cookies in the near future! I come for a little inspiration, and yet again you come through. Looks like I may have a new knitting project as well.ReplyDelete
Those cookies look super yummy, as well as that yarn!ReplyDelete
your weekend was very productive...I love the set :)ReplyDelete

What's not to love about knitting for babies?! :-)ReplyDelete
And extra butter in the cookies? You're speaking my language...
Happy knitting-
I made the cookies today, and I ended up doubling the butter as well. Is it possible that Martha had a mis-print? The batter was far too dry with the 5T...ReplyDelete

1941 State of the Union Address
Arguably the most remembered State of the Union moment is the declaration of the "Four Freedoms in Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 1941 address - the freedom of speech, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear. It became memorialized in Norman Rockwell's famous paintings and offered a standard by which other countries would be judged. Read the entire 1941 address here.

wildthings in Jumping Jackie
roar, gnash, stomp, mash & creatively play your way into the wild forest of your imagination with our spirited & quirky ear flap caps. for babies, kids & grown-ups!
Sizing: Our REVERSIBLE brimless wildThings caps come in three sizes. Please measure for the best possible fit. If you have questions about sizing, please contact us. We can help. Three sizes means your hat will fit for a long, long time. What a wise (and wonderfully cute) investment!
About the ears: Ears are flexible and moldable—to an extent. They're fixed with a coated lightweight wire, so gentle play is best. Wear your wildThings cap with the ears for some fabulous, flirty fun or without when you're feeling a little more somber.
Care: The cap itself is machine washable, but may shrink if you do. if you're concerned about shrinkage, please hand wash in cold water. Stretch, re-shape, and line dry or dry flat. remove the ears (carefully) before laundering. Gently spot clean the ears using a mild detergent. Do NOT machine wash the ears!
About the design: These caps are based on a timeless style called the coif. Worn for hundreds of years, coifs are very comfortable, they keep unruly hair in order on windy days, and they certainly do make a statement! More modern versions of the classic coif brought us the aviator hat and the bombardier cap. Our wildThings caps are a combination of all of these forms… with a little bitta flair, too.
Custom designs & fabrics are available.
Materials: Caps are made from cotton, linen, and cotton-linen blends, depending on the fabrics in the hat you choose. The ears are made from wool or eco-felt, depending on the color.
*** Designed and handmade in Ohio, USA.
how do i know what size to order?
our bonnets come in 6 sizes. our smallest size fits most newborns and our largest size fits most kids ages 4 and up-- and adults! although we have made rough estimates as far as age of the child they'll fit, there is a very large range of head sizes within each age range. this means that the best and most reliable way to size a bonnet for your darlin' guy or gal is to measure their head circumference.
how should i wash my bonnet?
although it's best to wash your bonnet by hand and line dry it (or dry it flat on top of your washer or dryer), you can toss it into the machine with your other wash and it'll do just fine. wash only using COLD WATER, and if you place the hat in the dryer, dry it on low. use a warm, cotton-setting, steam iron to press your bonnet if necessary. we like to dry out hats flat because it saves energy and they don't need to be pressed. they'll have a softened, worn look as opposed to a crisp press, but that's what we (personally) prefer. if you love the crisp press, just run a steam iron over the bonnet when it's slighlty damp or spritz it & press. usually pressing the back of the bonnet and the brim will polish it up nicely. make sure not to hit the little ribbon tag with your iron or it can melt.
once your package ships we'll send another email with a link so you can track your order & know exactly when it'll arrive on your doorstep. we normally ship orders within 1-3 business days for in-stock items. but, since we're a small company, sometimes we are a little slower. if you need your order **FAST** please email us and we'll do everything we can to accommodate your request. if you live in the US, you can expect your order to arrive within about 2 weeks, usually quite a bit sooner than that. if you're overseas, things are more complicated (and slower) because of both distance and customs.
we offer many options so you can choose a shipping method that meets your needs.
domestic shipping methods:
first class * priority mail * priority mail express * ups
prices increase accordingly.
international shipping methods:
first class * priority mail * priority mail express
you can get an exact quote by adding items to your cart and choosing "shipping quote" on the cart page.
we never expect that there will be a problem. but we're human and our items are handmade. everyone once in a while, a stinker of a snap or an off-kilter seam slips through.
no matter what the problem is, if you're not happy, we're not happy. it's that simple.
and so, our bonnets are totally guaranteed against manufacturing defects, for LIFE. shirinkage, wash fading, and color-bleeding when exposed to pool chemicals are not considered maufacturer defects. if you have a problem, email us and we'll work with you to make it right. take a moment, please, to read our returns & exchanges page as they're explained in more detail there.
warranty coverage extends even to people you pass the bonnet on to. they're guaranteed, forever. once we see the defect, we will repair or replace your hat at our discretion.
of course, we can't really help if your dog chews up your hat or if you accidentally put it in the blender.
please note that because of variability of washing methods, washing machines, water temperatures, and detergents, we do not guarantee that your 100% cotton bonnet will not shrink or fade in the wash. but if it's something we didn't do quite right, we'll MAKE it right.
we're proud of our products and we stand behind them. 100%.

The purpose of our parish Faith Formation program is to not only instill a love of Christ in our children and teach them the fundamentals of our faith, but also to reach out to the parents and provide them catechesis and evangelization. I know it is a huge task to get all of the registrations complete, rosters created, catechists trained, and placed and children attending. Now that is accomplished, what is next?
The first and most regular thing we do is send home the family pages that are including in the formation texts that we use (our parish uses the Alive in Christ and Allelu! texts from Our Sunday Visitor). These are great tools for interested parents to start discussion about the day's lesson.
Our Adult FF Coordinator conducts periodic sessions for parents to attend while their children are in class. This session is called "Starting Points" and helps parents with a road map on how to get from the faith-place they are now to a place with a deeper relationship with Christ.
Lastly, we are working toward a literature rack near the Faith Formation classrooms with Catholic reference materials for parents to take and read while their children are in session.
When we keep the parents connected and provide ways to continue their own Faith Formation, they become more confident in teaching the Faith in their home!
