He Will Baptize You With The Holy Spirit
Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 30, 2018 (message contributor)
Summary: John was baptizing and the people knew and understood that but what was this baptism with the Holy Spirit that Jesus was bringing?
(This sermon is in an outline form so you may need to flesh it out a little)
Please open your Bibles to Mark 1:1-8 which we will read in a few minutes.
Last Sunday when we took a look at this passage of Scripture we talked about three things:
1. Mark was announcing Who Jesus is
2. Mark was immediately letting us know that Jesus was and is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies
3. And that John the Baptist had also been foretold in the Old Testament and that John, himself, was declaring Jesus as the Savior and we should be doing so as well.
With that in mind let's go ahead and read Mark 1:1-8
Today we will be looking at the last verse in this passage of Scripture where Mark gives us a glimpse of what is coming in the future …
"I baptize you with water but He (Jesus) will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
We as believers in Jesus the Nazarene love baptism.
We do not believe that the ritual of baptism saves the soul
Baptism is an honor; an honor to be identified as a follower of Jesus!
New thought … Baptism with the Holy Spirit.
The Jews were very familiar with the Holy Spirit but not Trinity.
The OT – Holy Spirit descends – specific events
What is this baptism in the Holy Spirit?
Function of Holy Spirit – administrator of Grace
Unmerited favor – too vague
Grace = God in action
Prevenient Grace is God wooing us
Convicting Grace is God revealing our sin
Saving Grace is God enabling us to respond salvation
Sanctifying Grace is transformational sinner-to-saint
(Blank Screen)
John Wesley – house analogy
Prevenient Grace
In our natural sinful state
We do not know the Lord
We may not even know that we do not know the Lord
Holy Spirit starts revealing a better way
Holy Spirit starts drawing – like the current in a river
We may
Move with the Holy Spirit
Resist the Holy Spirit
Prevenient Grace – activity of Holy Spirit alone but not Baptism in the Holy Spirit
Convicting Grace
We are still in our natural sinful state
Holy Spirit reveals our sinful nature to us
Uncomfortable condition
We may
Understand our sinful condition
Resist the Holy Spirit and deny our sinful condition
Convicting Grace – understanding sinful condition – activity of Holy Spirit alone but not Baptism in the Holy Spirit
Saving (Justifying) Grace
Holy Spirit reveals the need
Repent (turn away from sin)
Faith in Jesus Christ for salvation
Saving Grace –
Cooperative action
Holy Spirit enables human response
Person cooperates with Holy Spirit
Person rejects Holy Spirit's help
Saving Grace – salvation is entered into – still not Baptism in the Holy Spirit
Sanctifying Grace – Baptism in the Holy Spirit – entire sanctification
It IS totally possible for Saving Grace and Sanct. Grace to be simultaneous
Seldom the case
How do you know if your saved but not entirely sanctified?
Still feeling divided allegiance between self desires and pleasing the Lord
Still feeling divided allegiance between pleasing self and pleasing others
Struggling with sin
Sinning – conviction – repentance – sinning – conviction – repentance
Continual cycle
Life of spiritual struggle
Closet Christian
Weak prayer and erratic prayer life
No desire for God's Word
No desire for Christian fellowship
Entire sanctification (holiness) impossible without the enabling Holy Spirit
Holiness requires holy love empowered by the Holy Spirit
Trying to live a holy life without the Holy Spirit – two outcomes
Attempting to achieve holiness without love results in dry legalism
Attempting to love without any regard to holiness results in acceptance of all sin
Scriptural basis for entire sanctification – living a holy life?
Matthew 22:37-40 – two great commandments – "all" means ALL
"Baptism in the Holy Spirit (entire sanctification) is the point where the serious work of transformation begins, not the point where it concludes."
At the moment of sanctification we are empowered to love God with our whole hearts and our neighbors as ourselves.
We become able to live the life of faith
The absence of this experience is why the church in America is woefully sick.
We are a bunch of people trying to live with Jesus at the threshold, just enough to be saved but not allowing Him full access to us and denying Him full obedience.
John Fletcher said that Wesley's understanding of entire sanctification is accomplished through the filling and baptism with the Holy Spirit whereby we come to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. Not a perfection of performance, not a perfection of behavior but a perfection of intent, a perfection of love. And that the essence of holiness is not behavior, behavior is important and behavior is improved as a result of the experience of holiness. But the essence of holiness is love, love for God. Righteousness is holy love, it is loving God and loving others as one loves oneself.

"We know South Africa will deliver on his expectations… and more' Roshene Singh, CMO at South African Tourism
ROBERT Crozier, a New Zealand national arrives in South Africa in early September to take up his prize as winner of the South African Tourism, BBC World 'Journeys' global marketing campaign.
Crozier's entry was drawn from thousands who chose their ideal South African itinerary from eight different themed uniquely South African leisure travel experiences. He entered via the campaignmicrosite,www.southafricanjourneys.com and was advised a few weeks ago that he had won the prize.
South African Tourism is presently planning a dream itinerary for Crozier and his partner who plan to take up their prize in September.
The prize includes return tickets to South Africa from New Zealand, accommodation for eight nights, breakfast, all domestic travel while in South Africa and £1,000 in spending money.
Crozier voted online for his ideal South African adventure showing a preference for the great outdoors, the scenic splendour and the adventure tourism experiences that South Africa is fast becoming globally celebrated for as a destination.
The 'Journeys' campaign was carried on BBC World News television, on the BBC World News website and on a specially created microsite: www.southafricanjourneys.com from October 2008 to March 2009. At its heart, the campaign had two 60 second brand television commercials and eight short commercial films that showed the diverse range of experiences on offer in South Africa. These long_form commercials were aired on BBC World News and drove traffic to the southafricanjourneys microsite, where the films could also be viewed.
The campaign attracted a truly global audience. BBC.com has more than 26 million unique users per month, and BBC World News television attracts up to 78 million viewers a week. A total of 8,751 prize entries were received from all over the world, including North America, Europe, Australia, China and Japan.
The campaign has given South African Tourism valuable information about the kind of experiences global travellers seek from South Africa, the reach of the campaign, the value of multi_media marketing endeavours and the successful positioning of South Africa as a world_class, highly desirable leisure travel destination.
The second phase of the global BBC campaign launches in September with more vignettes about the destination to entrench the desirability of South Africa as an exciting, warm, welcoming and desirable holiday destination.
"We look forward to welcoming Robert and his companion to South Africa, and we are confident our destination will deliver on all his expectations, and more,†says Roshene Singh, Chief Marketing Officer at South African Tourism.

Entomology Lab Due Date___________
Insects belong to the kingdom Animal, phylum Arthropod and class Insect. They are an extremely diverse group of animals representing about 3/4's of all animal species on Earth. They must be small in size because of the limitations placed on them by their exoskeleton. They help us in many different ways, such as pollinating flowers, decomposing organic matter, and providing food for many other creatures. They also harm us by competing with us for food, spreading disease and even parasitizing us.
In this lab you will collect, preserve and mount
different species of hard bodied insects (Class: Insecta).
You may substitute the following classes for up to
5 of your insect specimens:
1. Crustacea- sow bug, 2 pair of antennae, gills. (Limit = 1)
2. Arachnida- spiders, 4 pairs of legs, 2 body parts. (Limit = 2)
3. Diplopoda- millipede, two pairs of legs per segment. (Limit = 1)
4. Chilopoda- centipede, one pair of legs per segment. (Limit = 1)
Discussion Items: (answered
in the Discussion at end of this lab on your own paper, 5 complete sent. each).
1. In detail, describe the structure(s)/body parts of the class Insecta.
2. Make a chart with at least 5 items that contrasts class Insecta with one of the other 4 classes listed above. [for example, contrast Insects with Arachnids].
3. From your collection pick one harmful and one helpful insect (must be different orders) and:
a. classify the insects at the Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, and Family levels.
b. list the book and page #'s used to identify/describe each Family.
c. describe the niche and life habits of each insect.
d. draw and label the life cycle of each insect.
e. describe how each is helpful or harmful.
4. Describe how you would change this lab to make it a better learning tool and/or explain why this lab was a good learning tool for you.
Hypothesis: Where and how will you find
most of your
insects? (Make this hypo. as soon as you receive this lab):
Data: Make an insect collection with 35
insect specimens. [# in logical order].
-group insects BY ORDER within your collection.
-The insects must be intact and pinned so they are clearly visible with one set of wings extended.
-30 insects must have an easily read data label (pinned under the insect) that includes:
a. the Order of the insect (in Bold)
b. book and page used to identify the Order
c. the collection location (county/area) and date
d. your name
e. other comments. (do not label the other 4 Arthropod orders)
Hints: No biocides allowed to kill
specimens. Try
freezing hard bodied insects to kill them. Pin the specimens as
soon as
they are fully dead as they dry out rapidly and break apart.
transport, and siblings often damage insect collections, be sure they
have a
cover and are stored in a safe place. Have parental permission
for insect
storage areas and materials used. Make your data labels easy to
read and
put the Order name in bold.
Collect early before frost kills many of the insects in our area.
Attach this lab and your Discussion and Conclusion, to your collection. Put your name on everything.

Car Accessories On the web
Except exactly where necessary by law, can not be redeemed for cash or money equivalent, reproduced, modified, sold, traded, refunded or replaced if lost or stolen. Although buying car accessories on the net a single can comprehend the options of each accessory in detail, its makes use of, drawbacks if any, compare with others – all of it can be completed devoid of leaving the comforts of one's residence. Thus, no matter what your cause for seeking an Amazon alternative, you are going to discover your answer right here.

My youngest showed me a bookmark that listed the 20 Texas Bluebonnet nominated books. "Mom, I'm going to read all 20 of these books," he said.
Needless to say, I did cartwheels and back flips in my mind. (The only place it can happen as I haven't done a decent cartwheel since the '80s.) A child who wants to read? My oldest was average about reading. The middle one despises it.
A little background. The Texas Library Association runs the Texas Bluebonnet Award program, a reading program that encourages children in third through sixth grades to read more books. They must read at least five nominated books to be able to vote.
We reviewed the list to find his next read. Then I did what I should know better to do. I started judging books by the title. An interesting thing happened. The synopsis of the titles that interested me sounded like books worth reading. And those with blah titles didn't.
After my son finished "Benjamin Franklinstein Lives!" I picked it up. Good title, right? I don't like monsters or anything, but I knew it wouldn't be scary since this is for kids. Here's the synopsis:
Victor Godwin's orderly life is upended when he discovers that Benjamin Franklin never actually died. In truth, he was put in suspended animation and hidden away for more than 200 years in Victor's basement.
Intriguing, right?
I didn't like it.
Bad Headlines Live!
That's what happens when I come across a headline that interests me. I click through only to find a disappointing article that doesn't deliver.
There are jillions of articles about writing headlines for blog posts and online articles. They give advice, tricks and formulas for crafting a super duper catchy one that hypnotizes people into reading.
Please stop. Just stop.
It happens often enough that I quit visiting a few websites that let me down again and again and again. Everyone has an off day. Of course, I didn't stop visiting after one over-hyped or perfectly crafted headline. These sites were notorious enough that I started remembering how they wasted my time too often.
Sometimes it's not so obvious. Some headlines say they'll show you how to create a plan or strategy only to be vague without helping you.
Back to Basics
A simple headline that describes the article beats out another using a formula that over promises and under delivers. The same goes for email subject lines. I open plenty of email newsletters with basic subject lines that tell me what the issue is about. They don't always have a benefit or add a sense of urgency. Some even use the same headline such as: "Newsletter name: Title of key topic or article."
Just say what's in the email and make sure the content in the email matches the landing page. Bryan Eisenberg shares great examples of how an email promises one thing and delivers something else. (Check it out. It's unbelievable how companies overlook something so basic.)
Now when I review the Bluebonnet list, I look up the book's summary and read well-written reviews. I also ask around for recommendations. 2013-2014 nominee "Walls Within Walls" caught my eye. And guess what? The school librarian loved it. And my son is already hooked. (Bonus points: the book takes place in New York, my dad's hometown.)
For 2012-2013, my son voted for "Aliens on Vacation." If I could vote, it'd be "Wonderstruck," which left me — like its title — wonderstruck after reading it. (Its author, Brian Selznick, wrote "The Invention of Hugo Cabret.") At my son's school, "Wonderstruck" received the most votes. "Postcards from Camp" won the 2012-2013 Texas Bluebonnet Award.
Are headlines becoming a problem for you in your Internet travels? Do they live up to your expectations? What can we do to write better headlines?
Most blogs allow readers to add a link to their own websites. This gives the blog's owner and other readers a way to connect with that reader. However, most content management systems (CMS) and blog apps like WordPress add "no follow" in the code. This prevents search engines from rewarding commenters' link back to their websites with search engine optimization juice. What happens is these apps add "no follow" in the code preventing search engines from following those links.
I used to have a plug-in that linked to readers' latest blog entries. That went away because of problems. Because I appreciate every single person who stops by to read this blog and leave a comment, I investigated the possibility of removing the "no follow." In a perfect world, it's a great way to reward people who take the time to read a post and share thoughts.
I looked at some blogs that follow reader links. What I found was ugly. Lots of nonsensical or hollow comments along the lines of "I agree" and "This is a great post!" A comment of value rarely showed up. Most of these "do follow" blogs have subpar quality.
Few — I mean very few — "do follow" blogs had posts worth sharing that could evoke great discussions. Not a single one of these better quality blogs managed reader (fake readers, really) comments that were laden with comment spam. All that comment spam ruined the experience, which hurt the quality of those blogs. Furthermore, it wasn't clear how Google and other search engines view blogs that don't have "no follow" on comments.
It was those few good quality blogs that compelled me to leave the "no follow" in place. Even if I control every comment that is or isn't published, I don't want to attract the bad element.
Obviously, there's no benefit in removing "no follow" from comments. So how can bloggers reward the readers who care enough to join the discussion? I visit their blogs to leave a comment or I tweet their latest blog entry.
What if all apps turned off "no follow" in comments? How can bloggers reward readers who post valuable comments?
Before reading Margie Clayman's Avoid the temptation to write something popular, I saw articles on how to get ideas for blogging and how to write a bunch of blog posts quickly. These tired topics introduce nothing new. Same outfit, different color and style. Blog there, done that.
I'd rather not blog than rehash something that others have said many times, many ways. Like Green Eggs and Ham — these articles have been delivered so many ways possible … on a boat, with a goat, in the rain, on a train.
Is there any hope for writing about popular topics? Yes. Even about Pinterest. Already, every kind of article on Pinterest has shown up: round ups, lists, advice, and so on. Many of them good reads.
Good things about writing about a popular topic like Pinterest:
Blogging isn't just for driving traffic. It's for loading the website with fresh content to keep search engines happy. Because of this, blogging always pays off. Traffic is a bonus.
Yes, there's a way to make a post on a prominent topic like Pinterest stand out. Although it means reaching a smaller audience, the search engines will love it. The secret: Write about Pinterest with a focus on a narrow topic.
Examples of Pinterest articles with a specific topic:
Get the idea, yes? Not many people will be looking for articles on forklifts and Pinterest, but you're feeding the search engines by having the keywords in the headline and link, such as http://www.helpdesksoftware.com/blog/5-ways-to-promote-your-help-desk-department-with-pinterest.html (This link is fictitious. Any resemblance to real links, living or rotted, is purely coincidental.)
This link provides more keyword power for "service desk" especially if the company's other content already uses those keywords in the headlines. While few may look for "service desk pinterest," "service desk" appearing in the headline and link will help the site pump its keyword muscle.
You may wonder if adding obvious keywords into an article like these has a phoniness about it. As a writer, I'm extra sensitive to keyword phoniness in web content. In this case, you treat those specifics as your example.
Be careful, though. Try to write these articles without mentioning your company, product, or service. Why? A client needed articles on how to evaluate help desk software. Go on and give it a shot. Search for "evaluate help desk software" and see what you find. Most of the time, the search engine produces few results. And when they do, the article mentions the company's product.
Lost. Link. Opportunity. The company needing these articles doesn't want to link to articles mentioning its competitors' products. This also makes an argument for having a company blog under a separate URL. Even if the competitor doesn't mention its products, the company wouldn't want to send prospects anywhere on the competitor's site.
What do you think? Should bloggers and writers stop writing about the popular topics? Do the niche thing? Something else?
Although I wrote Is a Blog Right for Your Business? in 2007, people still mention the article or contact me with questions after reading it. Blogging has changed a lot since then, but one paragraph remains true.
Some people like to read blogs, others like to read newsletters, still others like to rely on feeds and some read a few or all of them. No matter the method the information is distributed, each medium has one thing in common: content. Having a blog connects your newsletter, your website and your business with all of these readers.
More people probably ask whether they should start a blog for their business today in a world where we have zillions of blogs and social networks vying for our tired, information-overloaded eyes. In my original post, I say the biggest factor in starting a blog is how often you can update it.
I don't believe that anymore. I've been updating this blog once or twice a week for a long time as I've gotten busier with clients and volunteer commitments. I'm not going to throw up a blog entry just to keep up my "blog X times a week" quota. You don't have time to waste and I'm not going to take advantage of your time by posting garbage.
If you can post a valuable post, do it. Even if it means you can only write a post once a month. It's a way to give your website fresh content, something search engines love to gobble up. You may not have much traffic, but at least your site won't look too static. If you're active in Twitter, it may help to add a Twitter feed to your website. This adds more freshness to your website to keep it looking alive.
Part two of the blogging for business article discusses the use of blogs to manage a website. My my my. We've come a long way. When WordPress added "Pages," it simplified using the blogging app as a website content management system. Many other blogging apps followed suit adding website features for easier management. Many of those blog apps don't call themselves that anymore. They say they're good for creating blogs and websites.
How has blogging changed? What do you think of blogging for business? How often should blogs be updated, or does it matter?
The State Fair of Texas organizers have announced the winner of Big Tex Choice Awards — aka fried food wars. (Yes, the one with fried bubble gum, fried Coke, fried butter, etc.) It's not a fried food contest, but rather a new and unique food competition for the fair's concessionaires. One of the finalists is the Walking Taco, not a fried food item. However, that's the only one I can recall in the history of the awards.
The Fried Food Nugget
Fair organizers knew that food was one of the top reasons fairgoers came to the fair. According to the State Fair website, Fletcher Corny Dogs debuted at the State Fair of Texas. "1942: Neil and Carl Fletcher come up with a new fast food product – corny dogs – which they offer to the public for the first time during the summer midway operation."
In 2005, the fair organizers came up with a brilliant marketing idea to take its food theme to another level when it started the Big Tex Choice Awards. Thus, the fried food games was born. Eventually, the organizers added the slogan of "Fried Food Capital of Texas" leading people to associate the fair with fried food. The website even includes a map showing the location of the concessions for each fried food finalist and winner. (Some past food winners like fried cookie dough are available at the fair.)
No focus on the giant Ferris wheel, auto show, animals, shows or other attractions. It's all about the fried food. The smart marketers found something that intrigued people and exploited it. Fried food became the magic nugget.
Using Nuggets to Write Stories
I write about many brands and models of cars for one client. At last count, I've written over 70. How many ways can you describe how fast a car goes from 0 to 60? Besides, when will you ever need to hit 60 mph in an instant? (I'd like to think most of you wouldn't have a need to run away from cops.) In reality, this kind of info grips some buyers.
Nonetheless, I need more than just the magic number for hitting 60. The trick to writing a story about a car comes in finding the little nugget and creating a story around it. I study the car's marketing materials ignoring luxury, comfort, sporty, safety references. Eventually, I find one word or phrase that stands out and capitalize on it.
This works great for coming up with articles and blog posts. You can look at past articles and find an idea or nugget that deserves its own article. How many articles have you seen touting the benefits of Twitter? Yet, they continue to come out daily with a different focus. Just look at the previous posts on Twitter. (8 Steps to Start Strong in Twitter and 5 Clues Affecting Twitter Follow back.)
Have you made the most out of a little nugget? How did you turn the nugget into a pot of gold?
I'm sure you haven't been keeping tabs on how often I blog or noticed fewer blog entries lately. Most people don't for most blogs, email updates and websites. We get so much information that we don't stand by wondering where the latest update is from so 'n so.
It pangs me not to keep this blog updated much lately. But then I remind myself that I'd rather deliver nothing than something useless to you even if it affects search engines.
You don't need a reminder of the advantages of consistent updates and blogging. What about making time for it? All the experienced bloggers tell us to make time for blogging and to stop making excuses that you don't have time.
I do that for family.
I do that for volunteering and giving back.
I do that for clients.
I do that for exercise.
I do that for sleep.
If we "make time" for everything we want to accomplish, soon we'll find ourselves losing sleep and overdoing it to the point that our brains feel overloaded. Speaker and author Jill Konrath wrote about this in The Year I Lost My Brain and How I Found It Again. Then today I read the top five regrets people made on their deathbed.
Multitasking is not always a good thing. It divides your attention, thereby sacrificing the quality of the two or three things you work on at the same time.
Oprah is right when she says, "Live your best life." And that means sacrificing blog entries. If I work to accomplish all the things I'd like to do, it'd sacrifice at least one of the above and that would not be living my life. I'm not going to put off things just to make something happen.
I don't want to regret not spending more time with my kids at every age. I already wish I had spent more time with my daughter who was growing up while I still had a corporate job and less flexibility. By the time my boys came along, I had the flexibility and fewer regrets.
In the past year, I've made time for things we hadn't done together as a family. We saw the Harlem Globetrotters. We went to the State Fair. We went to the city's International Festival. We went to the Texas Tornado hockey game. We went to LegoLand.
What will you make time for? What will you let go? How are you living your best life? How do you feel about blogging regularly or inconsistently?
If you do or plan to accept guest posts, it helps to have guidelines before you start reviewing requests. Too many folks have abused guest posting privileges. Besides that, guidelines help you ensure your blog has high quality, integrity and relevancy also known as "keer" or QIR. OK, I made that up 🙂
These guidelines will be updated as needed.
Posting Guidelines
Feel free to steal them and modify them for your needs. Please don't copy and paste them into your blog and turn it into a blog entry. It hurts both of our sites when people do this.
What other items would you add to the guidelines?
I don't update my blog as often as I'd like. So I happily accept guest posts when people offer, right? Eh.
Almost daily, I receive an email asking if someone can write a guest post for this here blog. 95 percent of the time, I don't bother responding to these messages just like they don't bother reading the blog before emailing me.
Signs of an iffy guest post request email
Yes, I've made the mistake of publishing a couple of these. I'm sorry for doing that to you. I've learned my lesson and have tightened the guest posting guidelines.
Once, a guest published a very similar post the SAME day I published the guest post. I'm still in shock that I found out about it. How? A Twitter tweet! What are the chances of my catching a tweet on the day of the post? This situation further turned me off to guest posts and added another requirement to the guidelines.
A guest post should be no different from entering a person's home as a guest. Treat it with respect and leave the place better than when you entered it. Oh, it doesn't mean you should clean it up. A simple sharing of a laugh will do it.
Not all guest posts stink. I've had some amazing guest postings here. Most were from folks I knew long before they wrote their guest posts. People like them are always welcome to "Be our guest." You are, too.
What do you think of guest posts?
I Be One Decade Old
Goodness gracious! This blog's 10th birthday passed and I never noticed until today. My first blog post went up on June 1, 2000. This place is a decade old. What does that translate into Internet years? Anyway, thank you to every single pair of eyes for reading in the last seven years or so. (I don't think anyone read my blah blahs in the first few years.)
I'm glad HAGS short for "Have a great summer" didn't come along when my friends and I signed each other's yearbook. Nowadays, I see my kid's yearbooks riddled with "HAGS" and little else. OK, elementary school kids — I understand. (Yearbooks only came out for high schoolers during my school days. Now elementary and junior high are in the game.) But high school kids can add a little more thought to what they write.
5th Grade Graduations
School ended today. Second child graduated from elementary school last Tuesday — the photos turned out lousy. Thank goodness, a photographer took a picture of every kid with the teacher. That one turned out great. My husband thinks my digital camera doesn't do a good job. Ohh… I don't even want to start comparing cameras again. Anyone get a rec? I love small ones that can also do videos.
I had a graduation ceremony in 5th grade, which I can only recall walking in the auditorium and nothing more. I asked my mom what she remembers. She said she can only recall worrying about my busing to 6th grade. (She has great instincts because 6th grade was my worst year in my school career.)
Mom remembers my sister's 5th grade graduation because they marched in to "Hey, Jude" and it went on forever. 🙂 Wish I had kept a journal back then as a reminder of what I did, but being a typical kid — I'm sure the thought of doing it would've been a good laugh. At least, I captured my two kids' 5th grade graduations in the journal that I've kept since 1989.
Fleeting Youth
The entire 5th grade year helps parents prepare for their child's transition to middle school. The kids act confident, rule the school and show their readiness to move on to middle school (or junior high as some of you may call it). I could never imagine my youngest going to middle school. I'm not ready. But come 5th grade, I'll get there. However, since he'd be my last in elementary school, I imagine it'll be harder. We've been at this elementary school since 1999.
Over a decade has passed since I graduated college. For a long time, my time in school outlasted my adult years. Now the tide turns as adulthood surpasses the school career. Somehow, I wish we could package the insight that childhood makes up only a small part of your life that you need to enjoy it and not be in a hurry to grow up like my daughter is.
"Youth is wasted on the young." — George Bernard Shaw
I avoid in-person events as much as possible. It's not because I'm an introvert. It's not because I look hideous. (Although we should know better than to let our looks get in the way of meetings.) It's because I'm deaf. Most people understand me when I speak. It's the other side — the more important part– of the conversation that's a problem for me: Listening.
It's true that the average lipreader catches only one-third of what people say. Try reading every third word in this post or another and see how much you understand. I can usually fill in the gaps, but not always. "My name is [mumble]" is a biggie. I might ask the person to repeat once, but no more. In a book club meeting, someone mentioned that reading the book and seeing the movie version was not a good movie. I asked the name of the book. Missed it. Repeated once and missed it again. Gave up.
While this sounds innocent and no big deal, it is. People judge you when you don't catch things because it makes a person look obtuse or not smart. With online marketing, I don't miss a single thing and I catch every name and title. What you see of me online is all me without the barriers or presumptions. Writers can do more than just publish content to market themselves. These work well and take up whatever time you put into it.
1. Create a web site with a personal URL. It's easier and cheaper than ever to build and update a web site. Using blogging applications like WordPress and Tumblr work well. They also have a lot of free and low-price templates available. A customized design adds a personal touch to your brand, but sometimes people don't have the funds available right away. You can work it out so the only cost you incur is the yearly fee to buy your own URL. writer.blogspot.com hurts the professionalism. You have a lot of options for creating a web site using a blog app. Whether you should blog or not is a different discussion.
2. Set up social media profiles. The web site and blog is your home on the Internet. Social media sites give you a meeting place. Many, many social media sites exist. Forget that. Don't let it faze you. Pick two or three and completely fill your profile on those sites. Currently, the biggies are LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. That can and will change. Remember MySpace was hot? I have a page that receives updates from my blog and Twitter account, but I don't visit it. I'll set up accounts on other social media sites, but only on a "come across it" basis. Usually I get an invite from a colleague and join up then. I fill in the profile as much as I can.
3. Join conversations. It doesn't matter where. I go to blogs and leave comments, participate in scheduled Twitter chats, respond to people's Facebook messages and reply and retweet tweets. Some people love to talk in forums. Notice this says "join conversations," not "give soliloquies." People who talk to no one in particular or don't acknowledge other people's existence are not listening or becoming a part of the community. The only folks who can get away with this are celebrities.
4. Do the guest thing. Invite and ask. Invite others to be a guest in your blog or community, and ask if you can do the same for others. You're reaching two new audiences: the other person's audience and the other person. The other person has a following and will ask people to check out the guest post in your community. Most guest posts come with a byline, which means link juice for your site and getting your name out there.
5. Link to your site and accounts. On your web site, link to your Twitter and other IDs. In your email signature, link to your web site and important IDs. Make sure everything points everywhere else. Do you have an email newsletter? Put your links there, too. This covers all your bases. Those who prefer email updates, RSS feeds and social media IDs.
These five I do on an almost daily basis. It works because I have a comfortable workload. You can do much more with online marketing, but other online marketing tools take more time. Some people do videos. Some do podcasts. Some do webinars. Some do email newsletters. Doing a video or podcast requires thinking about the goals, writing the script, recording and editing before you can publish. With social media, you have control over how much time you spend.
What online marketing tools work well for you?

"This is about an invitation to the nation and the planet to come to Hobart, Tasmania and be component of one of the most exciting redevelopment opportunities that is at present on supply in this country" he said.
The project is expected to contain residential, cultural, commercial and scientific facilities.
Macquarie Point Corporation CEO Elizabeth Jack stated she had already had discussions with interested developers.
"This will be a really long-term project but that does not mean developers won't be attracted," she mentioned.
"We're genuinely fortunate we've had a discussions with a number of developers, not just Tasmanian, but these from interstate and overseas."
In June the Corporation released a master plan for the website.
It integrated a mix of residential and office space, tourism facilities such as a hotel, Antarctic investigation facilities and public spaces.
Hobart attractive to developers, minister

- Tonight we watched "Gambit", a 1966 heist caper starring Michael Caine, Shirley MacLaine, and Herbert Lom. Very entertaining, as stylish as one would expect, and with moments of great amusement. There have been rumours in recent years that a remake is on the way; I'd be happier to stick with the 60s.

My rantings and ravings about all things ALM
So this week, we had a little bit of fun, by which I mean a day that started with panic and scrambling when someone accidentally deleted a Test Plan (yes, a whole test plan) in MTM in production. A well established test plan with dozens of test suites and over a hundred test cases with a month's worth of result data no less... Some important things of note:
So at this point, you may be thinking it's time to update your resume and change your phone number, but hold up. You may have some options to recover that data, so buy some donuts for your TFS admin(I like cinnamon sugar, BTW). I should mention, there may be a lot of other options but these are the three I was weighing, and due to some things beyond my control we had to go with #2.
1) Best Case Scenario: restore your DETACHED (this is required) team project collection database from a backup, cause you're totally taking nightly backups and using the TFS Power Tool right? You lose a little data depending on how old that backup is, but it may be more important to get back your test runs than have to redo a few hours of work.
2) Second Best Case Scenario: If you cannot lose other data, and are willing to sacrifice some test run data, then restore the TFS instance from a traditional SQL backup to a separate TFS instance (so, NOT your production instance), open up your test plan in that secondary environment, and recreate your test plan in production. Not ideal, but if you didn't have a ton of test runs this may be faster and you don't sacrifice anything in SCM or WIT that was changed since the backup was taken.
3) Worst Case Scenario: if your backups were not detached when you did your last backup, cry a little, then use the recover command to re-attach them. The gist is to use the TFSConfig Recover command on the collection to make it "attachable" again, then attach it to your collection. I have written a separate post on this because it can be complicated…
Once you are back up and running, make sure rights to managing test plans is locked down! It might not be obvious that you can even do this, or where to find it, since it is an "Areas and Iterations" level permission. But do it, do it now! This permission controls the ability to create and delete Test Plans, so be aware of that. But for the most part, anyone with authority and knowledge to delete entire Test Plans, considering what they contain, should be the only person creating them. If everyone needs the ability to create/delete these willy-nilly, then you are doing it wrong, in my opinion anyway.
I am still in the midst of getting this back up and running so will update once we're finished. There is an MSDN forum post out there regarding one bug I seem to have uncovered, if anyone wants to look at it and maybe fix my world by answering it I am sure I'll be able to add some more tips and tricks by then.

Parents Kidnap Baby From Social Services, Drive Him 2K Miles In Stolen Van Before ... - https://t.co/F6A8lw1mwI pic.twitter.com/2GJqBeotok— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) June 19, 2016
Two parents were taken into custody after kidnapping their own 8-month-old baby from social services.
An Amber Alert was issued for baby John Eastlack after the Randolph County Department of Social Services in North Carolina reported him missing last week.
The alert indicated that he had been taken by his parents, Penny Dianne Worthy and Chad Douglas Eastlack. The couple took their son without permission and drove him 2,000 miles across the United States in a stolen minivan, according to Sky News.
While it is unclear why the baby was in social services' custody, it is likely safe to surmise that the parents didn't give him up willingly — considering the great lengths they went to try to get him back.
Despite their desperate attempt, they must have known that being the child's biological parents does not give them a free kidnapping pass.
The baby was found unharmed in Missoula, Montana at a hotel with the culprits after a local police officer spotted the stolen van in the parking lot.
In addition to the kidnapping, the child's father was also wanted for stealing the vehicle and a firearm. Once located, he was immediately taken into custody to face the steep charges against him.
The Randolph County Sheriff's Office released a statement that read, "The child is in good health and has been turned over to the local social services agency in Missoula."
Luckily, the child is safe and back in good hands. Although no one wants to see a child end up in the system, he is probably better off.
The reckless and dangerous behavior his parents displayed with this rogue kidnapping is a major clue as to why he was taken from them in the first place.

The Aramaic word for "Sabbath", which is written Shabat שבתה in Hebrew.
In the Scriptures
According to the Introduction of the Hadrian Mar Elijah Bar Israel, Qtba Qrina כתבא קרנא The Book of Recitations of the Nazarani Church:
The seventh day, what is Saturday in our modern calendar week, is to be kept holy, a consecrated time set apart for rest. "God ended His work which He had made on the seventh day; and on the seventh day He rested from His work." (Genesis 2:2) "And God blessed the seventh day and consecrated it, because on it He rested from all of the work He made in Creation." (Genesis 2:3) It is because of this consecration that we honour the Sabbath and keep it holy. Yeshue said to His apostles that, "The Sabbath was made because of man and not man because of the Sabbath, therefore the Son of Man is also the Lord of the Sabbath." (Mark 2:27-28) Thus we should "remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy." (Exodus 20:8) And so no work should be done on the Sabbath, except the work of healing and of prayer and of praising God (Luke 13:13-16). The Prophet Nehemiah tells us also that we cannot buy or sell on the Sabbath either. He says that "when the people of the world bring food and wares to sell on the Sabbath or on a holy day, we shall not buy it. And on the seventh year we forgive every debt." (Nehemiah 10:31) In communities of believers and in Nazarani houses that no deliveries or goods should be allowed to enter on the Sabbath day. The doors should be locked from sundown on the Sabbath until the sundown of the next night, for this is the means of protection of our forefather Nehemiah, who asked, "Didn't your fathers do that which has brought all of this evil upon the city, and yet you bring wrath on Israel by continuing to profane the Sabbath? And it came to pass that when it came to be dark at the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they not be opened until after the Sabbath." (Nehemiah 13:18-19)[1]

Newt is running for President. His recent Fox appearance criticizing Detroit are being met with outrage. It's getting him even more free attention.
101 Things All Young Adults Should Know
by Sir John Hawkins
John Hawkins's book 101 Things All Young Adults Should Know is filled with lessons that newly minted adults need in order to get the most out of life. Gleaned from a lifetime of trial, error, and writing it down, Hawkins provides advice everyone can benefit from in short, digestible chapters.Buy Now
I'd love for him to join the race. He's articulate and can speak visually. That is, people see what he means immediately. That kind of clarity would be like a cool rain in this noisy campaign season. There are so many voices saying the same thing that it ends up feeling like no one is saying anything.
Maybe Newt can change that.

What are your views on the subject? We were discussing in my popular music class, with the group of the class who is for some reason obsessed with eighties hair metal claiming it is an excuse for people with no musical talent to have good bands, while I think it is just one more form of musical and artistic output.
I love it
and when done well its just as musical and technical as playing a more traditional instrument.
The person in your class evidently has never heard of Endtroducing
or Since I Left You
I brought up Endtroducing
And (As we watched a clip of him) Uneasy Listening Vol. 1. I didn't get to Girl Talk.
3 feet high and rising is a prime example of sampling and anyone that argues that De La Soul and Prince Paul have no musical talent is a buffoon
I listen to alot of sample based music, nothing wrong with it atall in my opinion, getting a good song out of samples can be very difficult and require a certain amount of musical skill. I cant really be bothered with people who are all "music died _x years ago blah blah"
these people in your class are plainly just retards
(do they have mittens pinned to their jackets all year round? did any of them move here from canada and are they a little slow, eh?)
sampling is a wonderful thing. speak to madlib.

Very short stories are also known as flash fiction, sudden fiction, micro fiction, micro-story, short short, postcard fiction & short short story.
In China they are known as a "smoke long" or "palm-sized" story, with the comparison being that the story should be finished before the reader could finish smoking a cigarette.
I have called these very short stories "shots" as they are designed to hit you like a shot of spirits, & to be "downed in one." Have as many as you fancy at a time.

Fashion Retail World Tour 2016 - Sydney
Transforming Retail Planning & Analytics in Fashion Retail
It's no coincidence that in 2015 less than 45% of retailers were found to be using advanced analytics for store and assortment planning, yet more than half of surveyed retailers confessed to discounting 10-24% of their stock as a result of over-buying, or purchasing the wrong products.
A successful retail business relies on the vital balance of stock planning and sales forecasting by the Merchandise & Assortment Planning team to enable the wider corporate strategic plan; a process that commonly relies upon hefty, detailed spreadsheet systems and time-consuming weekly reporting.
Join BOARD at this event and hear how leading retailers have transformed their business with the aid of advanced planning and analytical software designed with retailers in mind.

It's got an island. It's got the sea surrounding the island. And now, we can say for sure that The Last Story's world has a sky too.
The latest post at the game's official blog offers some artwork showing a beautiful star-filled sky as viewed from Ruli Island's "Star Viewing Tower."
There's a bit more significance to the post than just confirmation that you'll be able to look up and see blue, instead of a void, when wandering the world of The Last Story. The post is actually about an encounter by two characters at the Star Viewing Tower -- presumably the two characters depicted in the art.
One character is female. The game's director writes how she hums a song whose words she has forgotten. It's a song about people torn apart, passed down in her family.
The other character appears to be male. He and the girl both lost their parents in their youth and lived lives with difficult memories.
These two characters meet at the tower, writes the director, and "their hearts touch for just a moment."
The game's producer, presumably Mistwalker's Hironobu Sakaguchi, writes: "Everyone has a place that is special to them. For 'her,' this Star Viewing Tower appears to be an extremely important place."
Perhaps we've just been given our first glimpse at the hero and heroine of the upcoming Wii RPG epic.

Prepare for twitter to now invade the other 50% of the internet.
written by...
written by...
Our Assoc. Creative Director, Shay Mcgreal, gives his take on the announcement of twitters potential deal with google:
Internet powerhouses Twitter and Google have reportedly just signed a deal that could mean that live tweets will become part of our Google searches.
Twitter was involved in a similar deal back in 2009 with the second place search provider Bing, where tweets become part of search results, the cynic in me would say that maybe this was just Twitter testing the water for this weeks potentially game changing deal.
Twitter is already the most trafficked social website in the world, so I guess the only natural route is to expand into the way we
now get our news, people finding out about what's happening in the world via social media isn't a new thing, for most of us
its the only the way we get news, but this merger could really start to blur the lines.
That being said there will be the critics who parade around citing verses from 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' , to be fair I really
don't think this is Twitter trying to manipulate us or the content we read, to be honest I think this is the next step .
Imagine a world where we get the important scoop not when the news van arrives but when 'Joe blogs' tweets about it
seconds after, us as people these days need our information fast, relevant and brief so what could be better than a tweet ?
I admit this is me getting a bit ahead of myself and for the early stages the integration will mostly be the musings of Steven Fry (not that this is bad) and which celeb Perez Hilton is calling out that day, but what i do think is that this is going to be a pivotal point in the evolution of information and the way we as a society receive it.

Anyone 18 years old or older will need to purchase an Exhibit Hall Only pass in order to enter the exhibit hall. Parents traveling with small infants, including mothers who are breast feeding, are ultimately responsible for making all necessary arrangements for the care and well being of children or infants. Please plan ahead so that you are able to fully participate in an NRPA conference or educational program. Children and infants will not be permitted into educational sessions. This is to protect the interests of all attendees, the quality of our sessions and learning environments, and the overall value returned by our programs to participants. To obtain advance information on local support services, we recommend you contact your hotel's front desk or concierge and inquire directly for assistance and information. Some hotels may offer day care or babysitting services that may be scheduled in advance.
Conference Badges
Conference attendees are reminded that it is important to wear your badge at all times during conference hours, sessions and events. This allows you uncomplicated access to all conference events permitted by your registration package purchased. Please remember to remove your badge when you are outside of the NRPA events.
Conference Etiquette
To make the conference experience an enjoyable event for all attendees, we ask that you please keep the following in mind:
As a courtesy to our speakers, please refrain from the use of cell phones during presentations. And, please keep in mind that participants of this conference are in attendance to learn. Therefore, in consideration of all attendees we ask that you please take any conversations that are unrelated to the program outside the session rooms.
In order to accommodate environmental sensitivities of some of your peers, if at all possible, please do not wear scented products, to include perfumes or colognes, while attending the conference—especially the sessions. Some individuals may suffer from chemical sensitivities, such as MCS, and are in attendance to participate in this valuable educational forum and social events.
Conference Accessibility
As a national organization serving an industry that embraces accessibility and full participation in all of our programs, NRPA is dedicated to providing access and reasonable accommodations to people of all abilities that meet ADA guidelines. All NRPA-sanctioned events are accessible. NRPA staff will assist attendees of our programs with any reasonable accessibility accommodations to ensure a full experience for all. In order to plan effectively, NRPA respectfully asks that individuals needing special accommodations provide us with advance notice and pertinent information during the registration process. You may also indicate your desire for a member of the NRPA staff to contact you directly to discuss your individual needs. NRPA will continue to make every effort to accommodate requests we receive on site.
To easily locate accessibility services, look for this symbol throughout the conference, on our web site and in attendee materials.

Illo Friday: Safe
for this Moogie Day...
maybe it's SAFE to say
(even if it's late)
that this is my contribution
for Illo Friday..
and just like IF:Run

first protest.. should have written a poem for this...
made this "light painting" while walking on the streets of Puerto Princesa in Palawan, after a few drinks with Ambres
A beautiful light show, makes me think of a lilly-maybe you've captured it's life energy from the inside out.
lol not safe it seems a bit spooky to me...
If the initial image for this was produced by dancing around in front of the camera with a connected light, maybe that's not exactly a safe activity! This is very aesthetically pleasing though - cosmic even!
hardwax.. thanks! thats a cool insight btw! just love how these light paintings turn out..
paddy.. a bit spooky walking after midnight seeing these lights indeed! hee..
ian t... yeah, but i remember i only drank a li'l. lol. good thing i didnt dance around in front of the camera with a connected light.. or did i? hmm..
not a safe activity was the morning before i took this, we were literally swimming with the fishes! haa..
nice to see old friends dropping by 8) thanks!
spooky because of that smoke too . seems there is a face smoking a pipe ... k maybe i went a bit too far .. hehe
oh! lol! now that you mentioned it, i do see it! haa... kinda creepy.. tssk
He dropped by after a long period of absence from the Internet binaries to check on velvetsigh and saw that everything was pretty fine. Not willing to upset the status quo, he took a step back into the shadows, leaving her to her silent musings...
ohh hi there! been too long indeed.. well i am not blog-hopping as much as i want for a long time too.. but what do you mean "Not willing to upset the status quo,"? hmm..
I took a hiatus from the binaric world that's why. Hmm, I have no idea what I meant by that but you are doing very well!
I have always asked that question myself. Of course hypothetically they are not the same person. But it would be heavenly if it is, ain't it?
To loved or to be loved. That is an age old paradox. I can't figure out tha answer yet but I have loved and not been loved. The feeling is terrible but the carthasis of it! Ahhh....
yeah, the question 'who would you choose, the person that completes you, or the person that loves you completely?' really should be left hanging, unless you found both qualities in one person *.*
Being the unloved brings both sorrow and fulfilment, as also with being the Loved...
