Why I Do What I Do
But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.
If I saw that your house was burning down, but you were in a far room and were as of yet unaware, would you like me to alert you of the impending danger? Or would you prefer that I stand back and watch the house burn with you inside of it? The same idea applies to what I am doing with this blog: I see a destructive, un-Biblical teaching in the church and instead of sitting back and watching you drown in a sea of apostasy, I am led to boldly speak up for the Truth and stand against the false teaching. Though my prophecy postings are few, the idea is the same. Jesus is coming back...SOON and as a Christian who is eagerly awaiting His return, it is my duty (and yours) to "blow the trumpet" and warn others who are not yet ready!
And yet, just as I am not surprised by the grievous errors of so many false teachers, I am also not surprised that this blog (and this author) and others like it are greatly disliked by believers and non-believers alike. Believers get offended because we've burst their bubble about their favorite preacher or author. They accuse us of judging or being jealous when, in reality, we are merely exposing un-Biblical teaching. Non-believers become offended when we boldly proclaim the name of Christ or point to God's Word as the Truth instead of following our feelings or the latest and greatest self-help book as truth. In the end, the impetus of the disdain is the same: Jesus. Whether you are a professed Christian who is offended by my articles about Rick Warren or the Alpha Course or Joel Osteen, or whether you are a non-believer who is irked every time I say the Lord Jesus' name, the bottom line is that it is Jesus who offends. Why? Because the Truth of Jesus, the light of Jesus exposes the darkness of sin and error.
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. [...] But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Ephesians 5:11,13-14a
And for those who are quick to accuse that discernment ministries are hateful, mean, and unloving, please re-examine our work. To call someone to repentance for their sinful, erroneous teachings is not unloving. It is, in fact, quite the opposite. It is out of love that we would expose the error! For if we see error and do not warn others of the dangers, then are we not just as guilty before God as the false teachers themselves? I urge you to consider that the next time that you hesitate to speak truth to someone out of fear that they may dislike you for doing so. Is it more important to stand up for God so that you may one day stand before Him and be able to say that you were unashamed of His Gospel? Or is it more important that you be liked here on Earth by sinful men?
For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:12-17
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 2 Timothy 4:1-5
Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. 1 John 3:13
If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. John 15:18-19

Very good post! Excellent explanation of the work of apologists being out of love and not jealousy or hate. I couldn't have said it any better!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Glenn! I was "inspired" to provide this explanation by an incident yesterday when I pointed someone away from Warren's "Purpose Driven Life" and toward God's Word and was chastised for doing so. Very interesting that a supposed Christian author is not offensive but the Bible and God's Truth will always offend those who are lost!ReplyDelete
A resounding Amen! Those who attack you are of the same ilk as the Israelites of old, who did not wish to hear the bad news of their coming demise, but wanted their ears 'tickled,' as well.ReplyDelete
"fear not the reproach of man,
nor be dismayed at their revilings.
For the moth will eat them up like a garment,
and the worm will eat them like wool;
but my righteousness will be forever,
and my salvation to all generations."
Isaiah 51:7-8 (ESV)
Thank you for all your hard work!

Just a shout out to you Erin, to let you know there are others who appreciate and stand with you in the truth of God's word and against the emerging apostasy :)ReplyDelete

Yours is one of the best blogs around. Period. Like you, I have no shame or fear in speaking the truth, in love (with my occasional sarcasm and dark, twisted, crippled humor too, by the way). There are dear people I want to see in Heaven one day, and that motivates me a lot to speak the truth. Mostly, it's to proclaim the glory of God and to point to His Son, Jesus Christ.ReplyDelete
You go, Erin, you go! I'm behind you all the way.
Thank you! It is so refreshing to read your explanation of discernment and truth-telling! I agree wholeheartedly, and I look forward to hearing more from you at the upcoming AiG women's conference!ReplyDelete
Please keep it pithy (in other words, if your comment is long enough to be its own blog post, don't bother), pertinent (please don't go off-topic), and respectful (to the author, to the other readers, and to the subject of the post). If you can't do that, your comment will not be posted.
If you haven't already, please read the Comment Policy in its entirety.

Here is one project, that I'm quite proud about. I made this purse as a birthday gift to my brother Andrey.
The source for this purse was kindly provided by Eugenio Larosa. It was a very, very high quality picture of De Sphaera manuscript, the famous itallian astrological book, which dates about 1460. Of course, like everyone into reenacting Italy I have studied this manuscript previously, but never did I have a chance to have such a high quality image!! One more treasure for me))))
This is how I used to see this page. The ring-framed purse on the foreground is quite well visiable, but the purse on the guy on the background... Well, it could be anything.
And here is what I saw on the new copy of this page!
And even more!
This is quete enough to make a nice purse! But as it was a birthday present, I wanted to add something special to the purse. Nice tooled design on the purse was an obvious solution. But what do I tool on the purse? In search for a motif I remembered, that just several weeks ago I've been to Feodosia, which in 14-15c. was a real capital of Genoese colonies in Taurica. Good for me, I took several pics in the local museum. One of the pics was a stone-carved blazon of Kafa! What a nice solution, as we are reenacting itallian colonists in Taurica of the last year of might Kafa\Sugdeya\Chembalo (to be true, we're still in search of "legend" of our group).
Here is the result of my work
Details of the blazon
And closer
With opened flap
Strip closer
And from the back :)
Well, that would be all. Thanks for reading :)

text: Hello All, I am currently a hobbyist who shoots with a little older Canon 40D camera. I would like to get a little more serious and go into automotive photography (if this is the actual category). I grew up liking cars and as I get older it is becoming more of a passion. I have had the good fortune of owning a few corvettes with another one on the way in a year or two and find myself taking many pictures of my cars. I also like to attend as many car shows as I can as well as take in any local races. I recently bought a new mac pro for general use with the thought of maybe doing something more with it and I also have an older macbook pro (Early 2011) that I am considering selling and upgrading to a retina using my friends discount at Apple. I figure if I travel around at all or visit a client from time to time I could show off my work better on the retina. Thoughts? I bought the 40D as a kit a while ago which came with the basic lens (please don't laugh .lol) which is actually pretty good but I know it's not up to the task. Many people here stress buying lenses over a new body so any advice as to what would be good for "automotive" photography would be most helpful. My first thought is shooting a lot of "still" cars and eventually moving up to cars in motion. I would like to approach this with the possibility of turning it into a part time business so I want to be smart with my money and do this the right way. If it doesn't work out that way then at least I will be shooting what I love. Also, I am working a little with Lightroom 4. Is there any software suited better for this type of photography or am I really over thinking this? Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some good advice!

What is the Payment Policy?:
We require half of the total amount due upon making your reservation. The other half is due 30 days prior to your arrival. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover with a 3.2% processing fee. We also accept cashier's checks if the reservationis at least two weeks prior to check in. There is no fee for a cashier's check.
What is the Altitude of the Homes?:
All of our homes are located in a high altitude mountain environment. The altitudes of the homes range from 9500 ft to 11,200 feet. Please check our recommendations of altitude sickness.
Is Altitude Sickness A Problem?:
There is also an oxygen bar located in Breckenridge where you can go for an oxygen treatment which seems to help many people. It is located at the second stop light on the South side of Main street below Alpine Burger. You can also have oxygen delivered to your cabin for a minimal charge which may make you feel better quicker. The link to Lincare's information is http://www.yellowpages.com/buena-vista-co/mip/lincare-18666128?lid=18666128.
Is There Medical Care Nearby?:
Yes. We have a fabulous Nurse Practitioner right in Fairplay who can see you at her office in the Fairplay Pharmacy which is just South of the light on Highway 285 behind the Pizza Hut. Here office number in Fairplay is 719-836-0500. If you are in Breckenridge, she has an office just across the street from the City Mart by the gondola. It says Medcare. The office number there is 970-453-5311. Here name is Joann Kargul and I can personally recommend her as one of the best anywhere.
If you have a true emergency, there is a hospital in Frisco. Dial 911 for ambulance and emergency service.
Do I Need 4-Wheel Drive?:
We recommend either 4-wheel drive or chains in the winter from mid November through mid April. Many of the driveways are steep and can be very slick. All of the roads are county maintained and plowed. The driveways are plowed by individual snowplowers if there is more than 4 inches of snow on the driveway. The snow can become hard packed and slick so 4-wheel drive or chains may be necessary. If you cannot get 4-wheel drive then at least ask for All Wheel drive when renting a vehicle. Ask them if the vehicle has as separate 4-wheel drive control with on, high and low for best performance. Most SUV's rented have this. Worst case get some chains for your personal vehicle. During the summer, you will not need 4-wheel drive unless you want to enjoy one of the many road tours through the high mountain passes which is worth the extra money spent on a 4-wheel drive vehicle. The roads are not paved but are reasonably smooth and regularly graded so that it is not necessary to gain access to the homes and cabins.
How Can I Purchase Trip Insurance?:
If you would like to purchase Trip Insurance, please click on the link below for more information. We work directly with Travel Guard to provide you with the best trip insurance available.

Ex-inmate suspected of killing Colorado prisons chief mistakenly freed 4 years early
Because of a paperwork error, the suspect in last month's killing of Colorado's corrections chief was freed from prison in January -- four years earlier than authorities intended.Oopsie! He attacked a prison guard and threatened to kill him and his family. He was charged with felonies for the attack, and the charges "mistakenly" were recorded as to be served concurrently with his ongoing sentence rather than consecutively. In effect, he got a freebie. He violently attacked a guard, threatened the man and his family, and didn't serve an extra moment.
Judicial officials acknowledged Monday that Evan Spencer Ebel's previous felony conviction had been inaccurately recorded and his release was a mistake.
Why is that, you ask? That's a very good question. They're calling it a clerical error. Except this:
Ebel's early release was just the latest twist in a case full of painful ironies. His father is friends with Hickenlooper and had testified before the Colorado Legislature about the damage solitary confinement did to his son. Clements was worried about that very issue.(emphasis mine) certainly makes one wonder, does it not? I mean, I'm sure that the prisoner's ties to the governor of the state had nothing to do with the "error" that led to him being released some four years early, right? That same governor, mind you, who doesn't trust his state's citizens with magazines over 15-round capacity. His prison system is either corrupt or woefully inept, but g-d forbid you buy a new P-mag! I'll bet they'd make you serve THAT sentence consecutively...
Here's the guy they gave a free pass on a violent assault and terroristic threats:
Ebel spent much of his time behind bars in solitary confinement and had a long record of disciplinary violations. Records show he joined a white supremacist prison gang.
That is all.

Picking Up The Pieces
Happy go-lucky Obrimos with strong protective tendencies
David Kendell was born into a not-terribly-observant Jewish family. He and his sister Nancy celebrated their bar- and bat-mitzvahs, but for a religious ceremony, it was all remarkably secular. Part of him always felt some tenuous connection to his heritage, though, along with a desire to be of service somehow.
After graduating high school, he trained to be a firefighter with the Toronto FD. During this time, he had a short relationship with a girl named Sarah. Things never really got serious between them, but they ended amicably. After that time, he lost touch with her.
As time went on, David started noticing a spike in what he suspected were arson attacks. Some of these were obvious insurance scams, but others deliberately put lives at risk. Since he had taken specialist rescue training, he would often be with the first responders.
One of these fires involved a multi-storey apartment block. The fire had started on the second floor, trapping residents who lived above. David climbed in through a window and started looking for people. As he turned around a corner, though, he was met by an impossible blast of heat and light, and heard a voice calling his name. He plunged into the inferno, and found himself face to face with Ain Soph – the Eternal. He took the Shadow Name Nuriel – God's fire – to remember that experience.
Two mages in one family was strangely comforting – at least Nancy (now calling herself Ullr) understood what life was like now. But when your ex-girlfriend and her brother also Awaken? Something fishy's going on – but clearly they were all connected magically.
During the war, Nuriel turned into something of a terrifying figure, wielding power against the Seers who dared put Sleepers at risk. You could say he indulged his Vice a teensy bit. Reunited with Ullr, however, he was able to rein in his Wrath. (This is why he's such a determined happy Obrimos these days. He doesn't ever want to be that avenging angel again.)

WASHINGTON -- A relatively small unmanned aircraft struck a C-130 cargo plane over Afghanistan, injuring no one but raising questions anew about whether drones can fly safely in American airspace.
The drone, a Shadow made by a unit of Textron Systems, boasts a maximum operating altitude of about 15,000 feet but usually operates at lower altitudes to perform its tactical reconnaissance mission.
No one was injured in the collision, but the C-130 did make an emergency landing, according to the Wall Street Journal, which broke the story. The 12-foot drone went down. No word yet on its condition or whether anyone on the ground was injured. The Shadow was probably flown by an Army or Marine unit. Ironically, the unmanned plane struck the very type of manned plane that usually carries it into action -- one of Lockheed Martin's C-130s.
Defense companies, eager to expand their market, have pressed the Federal Aviation Administration for years to open U.S. civil airspace to unmanned aircraft.
"The use of unmanned systems and the use manned systems in the same airspace is not going away," Dave Vos, senior director of control technologies at Rockwell Collins, said today at the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International's annual conference. "It is only going to get more prolific" as technology advances. The strike is generating much conversation at the conference, the biggest drone event in the world.
The FAA, concerned about drones -- which don't boast Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems such as large airliners use -- has moved slowly and cautiously.
"We are going to make sure we are going to guarantee the safety of other pilots and people on the ground," Les Dorr, an FAA spokesman, told AOL Defense. He said that several studies "indicate you could not use TCAS to reliably have other aircraft detect the unmanned aircraft."
When I pressed Dorr on the possible significance of the collision to FAA efforts to open the skies, he noted that "there is a world of difference between operations in Afghanistan and those in the U.S." It is, he said, "like comparing apples and Oldsmobiles."
"Wholesale integration" of unmanned aircraft into U.S. airspace "is a number of years away," Dorr said. However, the agency plans to publish a draft rule "late this fall" for rules governing "small unmanned aircraft" of less than 55 pounds.
Today, a drone operator must get a special experimental certificate to fly in U.S. civil airspace. As of a year ago, less than 80 such permits had been granted. Military or other government flights can get a waiver to operate for a set period of time in a carefully defined area.
As the FAA website notes: "Due to the UASs inability to comply with 'sense and avoid' rules, a ground observer or an accompanying "chase" aircraft must maintain visual contact with the UAS and serve as its 'eyes' when operating outside of airspace that is restricted from other users."

Pat yourself on the back if you've attended two plays within the last year — you've gotten a raise! Yes, a study commissioned by Her Majesty's Department for Culture, Media and Sport, conducted by the London School of Economics, tells us that going to a couple of plays each year delivers a heightened sense of wellbeing that is equivalent, at today's exchange rate, to a salary raise of $1,687 a year. With equal Newtonian precision, the "Quantifying and Valuing the Wellbeing Impacts of Culture and Sport" study tells us that people who report going to plays enjoy better health, saving them an additional $28.67 annually on visits to their GP.
Of course, that's in the British health-care system. You can imagine what the astronomical savings would be under the abominable ObamaCare system that I keep hearing is bankrupting our great nation. Who knew that staunch Republicans and Tea Partiers valued theater so highly?
My own takeaway from this data is that, whichever of the performing arts we're talking about, the axiomatic, gung-ho spirit of "the show must go on" ought to be fortified with a more profound realization that the show should go on. It's part of a city's life and wellbeing.
Back in February, it snowed five times during my trip to New York. One day, the thickness of the ice encasing my tires defeated me, and I phoned the Brooklyn Academy of Music to sadly inform them that my wife Sue and I couldn't attend or review their presentation of Billy Budd that night.
But the show did go on. So did the remainder of the 14 plays, musicals and operas that I scheduled for our visit. As the shows were going on up there, emails kept hitting my inbox telling me that shows down here at CP, the Great Aunt Stella Center and Old Courthouse Theatre in downtown Concord had been cancelled.
Seriously? I've looked at all the TV reports and YouTube videos I could find on the mighty Charlotte deluge. Unlike some Raleigh video and photos, none of them showed snowfall that buried the curb on a street — or a main road that wasn't passable by nightfall on Feb. 14. A telling photo of Independence Boulevard on the day of the Great Traffic Snarl shows that it was drivable and deserted by the time rush hour rolled around.
So I'm not chastising the city's preparedness for a 6-inch dusting of snow, or calling for equipping more of our city's vehicles with swiftly deployable snow removal capabilities. Not me! I'm targeting the bunker mentality that yields to the hysteria aimed at us by our local TV stations — all of them wanting us huddled up in our homes watching more alarmist bulletins. We're grown-ups. We have better things to do.
CP, the Charlotte Folk Society and Old Courthouse were all presenting adult entertainment. No need to "err on the side of caution," as Old Courthouse put it. Their audience could choose to come out in the treacherous conditions or they could stay home. Some people have busy enough schedules that cancelling one performance means missing out altogether on that chance for heightened wellbeing. Happened to me last year when Theatre Charlotte cancelled opening night of The Foreigner because of weather conditions, and it almost happened again in January when bathroom problems threatened the opening of The Miss Firecracker Contest. Rent a couple of Porta-Potties and turn the page!
"The show must go on" isn't simply a compact between a performing arts company and its audience. In community theater, it's a compact with the volunteers who have put in weeks of travel, rehearsal, study and soul into preparing themselves to perform for an expectant live audience. If you have to send an all-wheel-drive vehicle out on the road all day long, you do it if that ensures getting every one of your actors onstage at your theater when it's curtain time. Their wellbeing is enhanced at least as much as an audience member's each time the lights come up.
Weather and the arts community's reaction to it isn't just a winter issue. We're on the brink of our summer season, when cancellations of outdoor theater and Charlotte Symphony events can happen. Common sense should prevail instead of hysteria. If there's thunder and lightning — or golfball-sized hail — run for cover! But if there's merely a shower, something the Brits could manage with a bumbershoot, do what the Panthers, the Knights and the PGA would do. Play on.
There's actually a special fellowship that springs up between performers and their audience when their rendezvous is stalked by adversity. That's what happened at Winthrop Amphitheater last July when Shakespeare Carolina presented A Comedy of Errors, bringing in flashlights to light Act 2 after the electricity failed. And of course, we had the legendary 2009 Citizens of the Universe production of Fight Club, braving the elements in a Central Avenue parking lot. When the klieg lights went out, director James Cartee trained the headlights of his SUV on the action — until the scenery began to blow away and he was forced to call it a night.
Once you're comfortable giving less than that to present your art, you begin to cheat your audience — and dim the spark that brings them to you. A night of theater is important stuff, with a value that should never be underestimated.

The Ancient Via Valeriana relives
Rivive l'Antica Via Valeriana
Next edition dates to be announced (the event was last held in 2015)
Maspiano, Sale Marasino (Brescia, Lombardy region)
the Ancient Via Valeriana comes back to life in Maspiano along the shores of a charming and picturesque Northern Italian lake...
Geographical, cultural and historical context
Sale Marasino lies in a vast natural amphitheatre overlooking the eastern shore of Lake Iseo (a beautiful narrow lake sheltered by mountains between the larger and more famous lakes Garda and Como), at about 35 km from Brescia and 90 km from Milano, in Lombardy region of Northern Italy. The town, surrounded by vineyards, and thick chestnut and olive groves, originated from the merging of two former villages: Sale, which is located along the lake shore, and grew during the Middle Ages thanks to the drainage of the marshy coast by the Benedictine Monks; Marasino, atop a hill and already inhabited during the Ancient Rome Age.
Event description and programme
Every year the medieval charm and atmosphere relive in the picturesque village of Maspiano, a hamlet of Sale Marasino, and along a stretch of the ancient "Valeriana" Route, carved halfway into the hill in a beautiful natural scenery with an amazing panorama over the lake and characterized today by cobbled streets and stonewalls still well preserved. During the Middle Ages the road, regularly travelled by merchants and pilgrims, linked the Franciacorta (a hilly area between Brescia city and the southern end of Lake Iseo, home to excellent wines) and Valle Camonica (one of the largest valleys of the central Alps, in eastern Lombardy, crossed by river Oglio and famous for the remarkable rock-carvings covering thousands of years, from prehistory to the Roman conquest).
The audience will enjoy the chance of a deep insight into the 13th and 14th Centuries AD rural daily life through characters, objects and tools, rites and customs of the period. The programme includes historical camp, entertainment and workshops for adults and children, flag-throwing shows, archery and falconry displays, knights tournaments and joust, exhibitions, food stands with historical and local cuisine, the medieval murder mystery dinner with theatre actors helping the audience in revealing a murderous plot, and more the historical parade, the ancient Gregorian mass, the medieval crafts market, and finally in Maspiano, the reenactment of a medieval banquet at torch and candlelight served by historical characters and cheered by musicians and jugglers.

Doubles with You: Sarah-Squared!11 10 Share Tweet
Two Sarahs come together to form the perfect Lomographic Union: thesarahshow shooting in New York City, and sarahboat shooting in Columbia, SC. The urban meets the rural, the sacred meets the profane, the Sarah meets the Sarah.
We've joked about the strange and beautiful juxtapositions of thematic images and elements in this round of doubles – we must have been reading each other's minds – but it's really not a laughing matter. Our collaboration on these doubles, known as "Sarah-Squared," is a testament to the rare beauty and power of analog photography. One of us from a small capitol city in America's South and the other from one of the most famous capitol cities in the entire world – we created images that are totally unique. I look forward to a third round of doubles in the future.
Thank you to thesarahshow for teaching me so much!
For as much as we Romantics cling to it, film is undeniably an obsolete medium: Hence, just as the Impressionists adapted their landscape upon the invention of photography, we film photographers must adapt our landscape with the invention of digital photography. One of the last bastions of film is the ability to double-expose. Despite their odd appearance, to call double-exposures surreal would be a misnomer; Rather, they are reality imposed upon reality. I like to think of it as the only way to capture Synchronicity in a single image: two or more events which are causally unrelated occurring together in a supposedly meaningful manner. If these images are in any way aesthetically pleasing, it is owed entirely to the cosmic churnings of a coincidental Universe.
That being said, there are too many serendipitous (Sarah-ndipitous?) overlaps in these doubles to not marvel at our groupthink. I shot on this roll first (it's Agfa CT Precisa, by the way) in August here in New York City, then sent it to Sarah in South Carolina to shoot in September. I used to do a lot of these kind of doubles in the days of yore (with former Lomographers SagaciousJ and HMDIV), but it's been a while, and I have never gotten such overwhelmingly excellent results. Maybe it's the shared name, but Sarah and I seemed to be able to divine the other's thoughts when shooting these. I hope you enjoy them, and I look forward to doing more of these in the near future.

Unlimited dashboards. Clean, understandable interface. Graphical navigational flow charts. Comprehensive records and transactions. Strong integration and customization. Excellent help files.
Requires considerable time to learn.
Bottom Line
Intacct, a midrange, Web-based accounting package, has the muscle, flexibility, and integration with solutions to needs like payroll and CRM to make it a good choice for complex small and midsize businesses.
The Interface
In some cases, you can navigate Intacct by clicking on an icon in a flowchart that graphically depicts the sequence of tasks in a module. For example, in the Accounts Receivable module, you might start in Customer Information, move to Customer Invoices and Batch Invoice Entry, then go to Print/Deliver Invoices, follow up with Apply Payments, shift to Make Deposits, take a look at where the business stands in Reports, and finish up in Close AR. Generally, however, you get around by making selections from drop-down lists located at the top of the interface. From a list on the right, you pick the module you want to work with, such as Accounts Payable. When you do so, the labels of lists on the left change to reflect the types of tasks you'll perform in that module.
So, for example, activate Accounts Payable, and the labels on the left become Activities, Records, and Reports. Choose Activities, and the list that drops down will have selections such as Print Checks, Vendor, and Manage Batches. Clicking on Records produces options such as Bills and Payment Requests. The Reports list includes AP Ledger and Bills Analysis.
Like QuickBooks, Intacct has a dashboard featurea single screen that shows different types of data and lets you make changes to the information, where appropriate. For example, one such dashboard might present both payments to approve and orders to invoice. And, as with QuickBooks, you can drill down to see transactions underlying the information. But where QuickBooks has just one dashboardthe Company SnapshotIntacct lets you build an unlimited number and also lets you set up more-powerful views, such as one with metrics including Bookings Actual versus Plan, Revenue and Gross Profit, and Deferred Revenue Snapshot.
Record-entry screens are of the standard type. Customer and vendor records, for example, hold contact details, discount and shipping data, tax status, and so forth. To enter information, you select from drop-down lists or fill in blanks. The screens are similar to those in QuickBooks, but have more fields, allowing much more flexibility and recorded information.Next: More Advanced, but More to Learn

Keren Donnell was the most famous bard in the Ffolk-inhabited Moonshae Isles.[1]
Keren used a longbow as tall as a man made of black Callidyrr yew. It was one of a dozen or so weapons that were crafted by the High King's own bowyer. He had a falcon companion named Sable.[1]
While visiting Gwynneth on official business for the High King of the Moonshaes in 1345 DR,[3] he helped Tristan Kendrick and his companions in a fight against a band of firbolgs. They led him to Caer Corwell so he could speak to King Kendrick.[1] On his way back to Caer Callidyrr, he was captured by a band of firbolgs and then rescued by Tristan, alongside Finellen the dwarf.[1]

Conference Theme
Dream, Build & Grow: Unleashing the Entrepreneurial Potential
Creation of wealth is, certainly, in the hands of entrepreneurs. New products, new services and advanced technologies introduced as a result of innovations help economic prosperity not only for the host nations but they add to greater social upliftment and help raise standard of living of citizens. In this process, governments get increased tax revenue which enables them to allocate more funds for various sectors of the economy.
The 4th International Conference aligns with the vision of India's Prime Minister, Mr. Narender Modi, to promote India as a Start-Up Nation. The purpose of ICON 2017 is to provide a platform to disseminate and exchange ideas among researchers, students, policy makers and practitioners to promote a better understanding of current issues and solutions to the challenges in the globalized economy in relation to the field of Entrepreneurship.
The conference hopes to introduce a wider view of entrepreneurship as new methods of creating value, and to focus on research that study innovative processes, organizational practices, systems, supply chain design and other mechanisms that are related to operations in practice. It aims to bring together academics, researchers and entrepreneurs to discuss the perspectives of responsible development of small and medium – sized enterprises in a dynamic environment. The conference debates the complex relationship between entrepreneurship and responsibility, from a wide range of perspectives: economic, social, environmental, organisational, technological, marketing, competitiveness and human angle.Read More Register Now

Freedom! (redux)
I've, you know, heard the voices of the people that
will presumably be in a position of responsibility
after these elections said World President and Furtherer
of Freedom, George W. Bush, who doesn't feel the need to wait
for Iraqi democracy to have its say before announcing publically
that the US will maintain troops in Iraq long after this week- end's
festivities. Iraqis, who will brave death and dismemberment
to vote on Sunday, must feel heartened that the outcome is already
being called by the leader of the occupying government.

This may seem to be an unusual topic for Better Blogs but I fixed this a number of times. Normally, Outlook will load its data appropriately and load fully. Sometimes, however, it gets stuck on the "Loading Profile…" step:
Many different solutions can be found online. So why write a post about it? Because I have not found a fix for Outlook 16 (2016) on Windows 10. The internet will take you to Add/Remove Programs, opening Outlook in safe mode, or to the PC's registry! The fix is more straightforward:
Step 1
Go to: C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
Step 2
Delete the Outlook Data Files (.nst).
Skype for Business may be using these as well. Don't worry if this causes issues. Simply close all Skype instances (Task Manager helps) and continue to delete these files. The files will be created again the next time Outlook opens.
I've used these steps for a couple previous versions of Outlook as well. It tends to fix it for me so I thought I'd store the steps before I forget again. I hope this helps you as well!
If the above solution doesn't work for you, perhaps the wonderful collection of solutions here: https://www.pallareviews.com/3466/outlook-hangs-on-loading-profile/ may help?

Fans of the melancholic strums of Coldplay may be warming up to Amazon.com
Deeper deals can be had on the band's earlier titles. If you hurry, you can get a digital copy of Coldplay's X&Y today for just $1.99. A Rush of Blood to the Head will be tomorrow's $1.99 virtual CD, followed by the band's early Parachutes for just $0.99 on Friday. A whole album for the price of a single song? Wow.
Don't worry that the cutout-bin pricing will create out-of-stock situations. That's the beauty of digital delivery.
On the other hand, the allure of digital delivery isn't yet universal. A handful of music's biggest stars -- including Kid Rock, Garth Brooks, and the Beatles -- are still absent, by choice, from the iTunes Music Store. They'll come around, especially since getting a pittance through digital delivery is better than getting nothing through peer-to-peer piracy.
Amazon recently surpassed Wal-Mart
Still, Amazon will attract plenty of thrifty Coldplay fans to its storefront this week, and that's the whole point. Getting people to know there are alternatives to Apple for digital downloads is the goal. Amazon has the selection to be competitive, too. It sells unshackled MP3 tracks with a growing library of 5.4 million songs.
But it needs to keep its goals realistic, too. Even though Amazon has a lot going in its favor, it still doesn't have the Apple brand -- or the iPod.
Or you can think of it this way: Coldplay's singer named his daughter Apple, but I doubt that he'll call the next kid Amazon.

First I want to thank everyone who has been so generous in providing me with advice and suggestions on my last posting. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
Now my next question is a little more specific. How will the role of an engineer fit into the future of biotechnology? I mean, I have applied to both chemical and bioengineering graduate programs from around the country, but my adviser has suggested that I get the degree in chemE but conduct research in bioengineering area. Is that a good advice to follow? How are the two engineering graduate degrees differ if the research being conducted are in the same field? Also, will the majority of engineers move into the field of biomanufacturing eventually, so instead of producing large quantities of chemicals it will be proteins that are produced? I am also interested in finding out programs that offer bioprocess. Could anyone suggest a good program I can look into?
Thank you

So there is this app game called Draw Something that I sometimes go on and draw stuff for people. I like it because I can play with other people, and get the proudness when people get my drawings right.
So I thought I would give you some eexamples of what I've drawn the past 6 months.
Warning! I know some of them are plain horrible, but I can't really take anything seriously...
First Serious Business. These I actually like, and am proud of.
|This one is really beautiful in my opinion. One of my best moments.
|Also this one.
And continuing the princess theme:
|Maybe Romeo and Juliet aren't prince/ss themed, but it looks almost like.
Then there are the horrible ones I don't try so hard on.
|The vomit looks exciting though... Only time I will ever say that.
|But you have to give me credit for this one... I tried to draw Pikachu.
Then there are those that are drawn okay, but doesn't match the word...
|This one is supposed to be all about doors, but lion
|I had the llama song in my head, don't judge me.
|This one is about prom, but again llama.
Then some random ones.
|Vampire bed it says in Swedish.
|You can really see how much she hates not being human.
|I tried.
|Don't tell me Stitch don't belong there... He is ohana.
|Ekorre = Squirrel.
Results from too much AmazingPhil and danisnotonfire
And then for some reason I like drawing birds.
|Ostrich. It is pretty.
|Don't tell me you haven't watched that show...
|I will just leave this one here...
So ther you have my drawings!!! If you need another player to game with, you can contact me somehow, and I can make it happen!

One of the best parts of running the National Vintage Wedding Fair is organising the fashion parades. These are more a "show and tell" than full on catwalk shows and a great way for brides-to-be to see both vintage and vintage inspired dresses worn and accessorized. We choose real women, not models, who simply love to dress up in vintage – something that our brides-to-be appreciate. This month I am sharing some of these fabulous ladies rocking their vintage wedding gowns, all photographed last season around the UK.
Why not come along this season to see our dresses in the flesh. Our dates are: Cheltenham March 12th and Manchester March 19th. For April and May dates visit www.vintageweddingfair.co.uk

Cricker-player ne Tendulkar nahi dekha to kya dekha
Bird-watcher ne Eaglenest nahi dekha to kya dekha
This is what Eaglenest WLS is for a birdwatcher!! The final frontier, the dream, an opportunity to grab 100s of lifers!!! Eaglenest..Eaglenest…Eaglenest…. Bass naam hi kafi hai!!
One of the most awaited trips, not only for participants but for me & Adesh too. This is will be my 4th visit to Eaglenest & I'm equally curious and excited. As we were staying in Guwahati only (after completion of Kaziranga-Nameri batch), we reached Airport at about 2.00pm and once all participants arrived we asked them to come out of the Airport. The vehicles were ready and we moved on towards Nameri, taking a brief stop at Dumping yard for Greater & Lesser Adjutants.
We keep Nameri, mainly as a stop over during Eaglenest trip. If you go directly from Guwahati to Eaglenest, it will take around 9/10 hours to reach by road. So we take a stop at Nameri while going as well as while coming back from Eaglenest. Nameri Eco camp has clean, descent tents with attached toilet & the surroundings are awesome. It's a wonderful place to stay. And since we stop at Nameri from a night halt, next day morning we get some 3,4 hours for birding in Nameri. As usual Nameri birding was superb. The Wreathed & Great Pied Hornbills, Abbot's Babbler, Dollar Bird, Barred Cuckoo Dove, White-throated, Black-crested, Black Bulbuls, Wedge-talied & Pin-tailed Green Pigeon, Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, While-tailed Myna, Blue-eared & Blue-throated Barbet, Great Cormorants, Maroon Oriole were some of the birds seen. We came back to the eco camp, had our lunch and proceeded for Eaglenest.
Another very interesting sighting in Nameri was of a Cat Snake (Bioga Sp.) inside the Eco Camp. When we were getting ready for lunch, suddenly one of the cook came running to tell me about the snake behind canteen. We rushed to the place, with our cameras. The snake was 'different', never seen before. A Coral red color snake with ruby eyes. Later on it was Ided as Juvenile of Boiga cf siamemsis by experts. It was something very very special sighting!!
It takes about 6 hours to reach Eaglenest from Nameri, including the stoppage at Bhalukpong check post. The nearby town to Eaglenest WLS, which is in West Kameng Dist. Of Arunachal Pradesh, is Tenga. Tenga has a huge military base. We met Mr. Indi Babu at Tenga, who is head of Bugun community looking after the accommodation, food etc. in Ealglenest WLS.
Instead of scheduled stay in Lama camp we were told, that too in Tenga, that our arrangements have been made in Ramalingam camp, which is much below Lama camp. We were very disappointed for this mis-management by the Kaati Tours & Linkarcs. But we had to take it, and stay in Ramalingam camp. Since we had jeeps with us we could go till Lama caml & come back. We tried our level best, so that the group should not miss any species because of this goof-up. Some of the birds seen in this patch are; Green-tailed Sunbird, Beautiful Sibia, Rufous-bellied Woodpecker, Olive-backed Pipit, Greater-rufous Headed Parrotbill, Cutia, Black-throated Tit, Striated Bulbul, Bhutan Laughingthursh, Striated Laughingthrush, Rufous-throated Wren Babbler, Brownish-flanked Bush Robin and may more…
After 2 days in Ramalingam camp we moved to our next camp at Sunderview, birding on the way. On the way to Sunderview, you have to stop at one place, called Eaglenest Pass. This is one of best place in Eaglenest WLS. Being highest point in Eaglenest some of the high altitude birds are seen only here. And what a 'gala' time we had there. It started with Rufous-fronted Tit and then continued with Rufous-winged Fulvetta, Yellow-billed Blue Magpie, Brown Parrotbill, Bar-throated Minla, Spotted Nutcracker, Striated & Rufous-vented Yuhina, Crimson-browed Rosefinch etc… but there were some special sightings as well. Both these special sighting had a fire in their tails! First was Fire-tailed Sunbird… It came from somewhere, circled us and they sat on a tree top in sunlight for few seconds. Everybody saw the bird the good light… wow!! The one was of Fire-tailed Myzornis. What an amazing bird, very elusive…but that day was special it came almost in front, flittered for some time and wet away, but gave all sufficient time to appreciate. The two fire-tails made our day!! On the way, after Eaglenest Pass, we also saw Mrs. Gould's Sunbird, Rusty-fronted Barwing,
Sunderview, as the name suggest is located on top of the valley and gives lovely views. Area around the camp itself was too good for birding. We saw Black-faced, Striated and Spotted Laughingthrushes, Brown Bullfinch, Black-faced, Whistler's, Grey-cheeked Warblers etc… We stayed in Sunderview for 3 nights… With base camp at Sunderview, we covered the low altitude areas like Bompu & Sessni. These two days were as rewarding as earlier days, with some different sightings like Streak-throated Scimitar Babbler, Sultan Tit, Red-tailed Minla, Silver-eared Mesia, Maroon Oriole, Streaked Spider-hunter, Black-throated Sunbird, Golden babbler, Rufous-capped Babbler, Black-eared Shrike Babbler, Crimson-breasted Woodpecker, Common Hill Partridge….
But the very very special sighting was of Ward's Trogon. One of the rarest trogons in the world! At one turning, we heard the trogon. We stopped and tried to see thought the thick fog and to our pleasure we saw a male Ward's Trogon sitting with its back to us. It then changed the position and now he is facing us…wow….We quickly put the bird on Spotting Scope and then it was feast to eyes. All of us except two could not see the bird as a thick layer of fog came between us & trogon. But I told everyone to just wait quietly & patiently till the fog layer passes. As soon as fog was passed, the trogon by that time has changed the position and now he was even close to us. We quickly showed it to the two participants first and then everybody took another round to see the bird through scope. But that's not enough; male trogon was then joined by female!! AZ pair of Ward's Trogon was sitting in front of us. What a sighting!! The best sighting of this bird for me till date… We all were speechless for few minutes…
While going back from Sunderview to Nameri, we stopped at Lama camp for lunch, where we heard the news of Assam bandh, on next day, when we were supposed to reach Guwahati airport. We were discussing what to do and finally decided to go reach Airport in the night itself. Instead of staying at Nameri for one night, we decided to just stop at Nameri for diner and then move to the Airport. We had our lunch and then suddenly another group (they were staying in Lama) saw Red-Crosbills, we ran outside the dining room and to our pleasure saw 4 Red Crossbills (1 female & 3 juveniles) a lifer!!! What a way to end the trip….

Pathologist John Eisenmenger, his live-in solicitor Helena Flemming and his friend-plus DI Beverley Wharton—none of whom ever seems to have a case that seems remotely normal (The Rest Is Silence, 2007, etc.)—are stretched to their limits in their sixth.
To save money for the baby his favorite solicitor is expecting, Eisenmenger ("Doctor Death") takes a position as locum at St. Christopher's University Hospital. So he's the one to examine the remains of Edward Melnick, and he's the one to defy iron-fisted mediocrity Arnold Throckmorton, the head of pathology, by voicing the suspicion that the retired policeman-turned-inquiry agent didn't die a natural death. Meanwhile, the pregnancy Eisenmenger's troubled job is financing has ended prematurely and disastrously, leaving Helena clinically depressed and dependent on psychologist Harriet Worringer for help. DI Wharton has her own problems. Her dogged investigation of Dr. Adam Dreifus's Atopia clinic, whose financial manager Anita Delorme has just been shotgunned to death, is undermined by her sidekick Larry Grover, an impossibly dogmatic and unhelpful new sergeant. When a second death that doesn't look suspicious to anyone but Eisenmenger implicates Atopia and Dreifus still further, he crosses the line into lawbreaking in hopes of doing justice. Justice at length is done, along with a great deal of collateral damage.
McCarthy mixes his trademark gripping forensics with a baffling puzzle that spins off twist after twist and agonizing dilemmas for his regulars—all in all, the complete mystery package.

I love a good cake smash session to celebrate the first year of a child's life. It is exciting and fun. I always provide the balloons based on mom's requests for the theme and colors of the party. The session can take place before or after their party. Moms and Dads like to bring props for the party theme or I can provide props to go with the over all style of the session. I will always do one outfit before the cake smash part of the sessions. See below a few of the images from previous sessions.
P.S. Cake smash birthday bash sessions aren't just for 1 year old, all kids love cake!

This documentary urges viewers to help end the global slave trade, portraying a contemporary epidemic in which countless underprivileged and anonymous people -- often young women and girls -- are sold into various forms of bondage in all corners of the world. The film makes its points through commentary from experts like Princeton University professor Cornel West and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and with performances by socially conscious musicians such as Talib Kweli.

In an effort to stymie parents interested in opting their children out of PARCC, Providence Public Schools created a secret permission form.
Not all schools even know about the form. There was confusion at the front offices of several schools. At one, I was told, the guidance department hadn't heard anything about an opt-out program. Another administrator said that they would "talk to the parent and find out why… and then contact my supervisor."
At other schools, workers were specifically told NOT to publicize it. However, in order to make sure that all the paperwork is handled, they were told to have parents sign the forms to release their children. While I understand the CYA attitude, keeping the forms secret is yet another signal that there is something seriously wrong with the testing industry. If nothing else, the form is designed to slow and intimidate parents who might otherwise opt-out.
PARCC testing will be running for five days between 85 and 120 minutes per day at the Middle School level. Not only does this eat up at least 7.5 teaching hours. Additionally, the lengths of each tests are irregular, making planning and logistics nearly unmanageable.
At Classical High School, although only ninth and tenth graders will be taking the PARCC tests, eleventh and twelfth graders have a late arrival time of 10:30, losing each of those students a total of 10 hours of class time. Hope and Mt. Pleasant High Schools will be operating on a regular schedule.
In a YouTube video, Lori B. McEwen, Ph.D., Chief of Instruction, Leadership and Equity for PPSD said that PARCC was important for students to graduate college-ready. She also said that parents will be informed about the testing schedule. As a parent with students in the schools, I haven't received information in a timely or useable fashion.
Yes, there are fundamental problems with public education, and demonizing standardized testing isn't going to solve them.
However the diversion of millions of Rhode Island tax dollars to private companies combined with the abusive amount of time spent on testing students leads me to believe that it is our duty as parents and citizens to oppose them.
Civil disobedience is simple, even though Providence made it more challenging.
As it says in the form itself, "…I have the fundamental and legal right to direct the upbringing and education of my child."

I couple of day ago, I was listening to an old broadcast of
The Dividing Line, hosted by Dr. James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries and I heard him make a comment about the people in the chat channel. It wasn't the first time he had mentioned the chat channel and I even looked for it in the past but couldn't find until Tuesday when I searched through the AO Min site again and finally found it. So I submitted my name and a password and made my way into the chat.
Well, the people already on didn't seem to take to kindly to my "nickname". The thing is, I didn't use a nickname, I used my actual name and one of the moderators, I am assuming, thought it was suspicious for someone to be coming on to a Christian based chat room with the name Jesus. He tried contacting me but I am not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to computers so when I didn't respond right away, he bounced me. I did get back on and explained who I was and it was fine after that. I went back on to the chat channel later and again used my real name not a nickname, this time Dr. White was on and asked me to explain my nickname which showed up as jesussaenz. I explained again that it was my actual name and everybody was cool about it. Some of the people on there actually knew from Gene Cook's webcast The Narrow Mind.
Earlier today, I sent an email to the bookstore at Westminster Theological Seminary. They were a little surprised when Jesus wanted to link to their bookstore. You can take a look at the comments about it on Alex Leung's blog where Mark from WTS writes about the email and about Alex getting comments from Jesus.
Of course it's a cultural thing, as only Hispanics name their children Jesús. I thought of using a nickname associated with the name Jesús which is Chuy but then all the jokes about Chewbacca would've ensued… oh well. I just need to get better known as a blogger so people know about Jesús and Jesus. Speaking of "better known", Crossway Publishers whom publish the English Standard Version translation of the Bible linked to my blog about the pigment pens.

Worcestershire prevail in audacious run chase
Worcestershire 243 and 255 for 4 beat Nottinghamshire 223 and 273 for 8 dec by six wickets
The last time Worcestershire won a Division One match at New Road, Steve Rhodes was keeping wicket for them, Facebook had just been founded and Tony Blair was just back from a visit to see his new friend Colonel Gaddafi in Libya. It was May 2004.
But, thanks to an audacious run chase, Worcestershire not only secured their first top flight win since August 2007, but sentenced the champions, Nottinghamshire, to their third successive Championship defeat. It's Worcestershire's first Division One win in 27 games and their second in 44.
They deserved it, too. Even though they lost every one of their first six games, they had often earned winning platforms, before losing crucial sessions. The results of their games against Somerset, Warwickshire, Yorkshire and Notts could all so easily have gone the other way.
There was appropriateness about the architects of this victory, too. Matt Pardoe, Moeen Ali and Alexei Kervezee - young men who should go on to win many more games for this club - all contributed with impressive innings, while Vikram Solanki, a man who has known the best of times and the worst of times during his two decades with the club, produced a scintillating half-century of the very highest quality. And they did it all without Adrian Shankar.
Perhaps, in retrospect, their target was a little generous. Certainly Steve Rhodes, Worcestershire's director of cricket, admitted he was "a little surprised" when Notts declared and set a target of 254 to win in 50 overs. But, in the context of the match and on a pitch that remained seamer-friendly, it was demanding.
And, when Worcestershire lost James Cameron, beaten by an inswinger, before a run had been scored, defeat looked almost inevitable.
Instead, however, Solanki and Pardoe added 117 for the second wicket in 28.2 overs. Solanki, the only survivor from the Worcestershire success here in 2004, timed the ball superbly and utilised the short boundary towards the Ladies Pavilion by hitting four sixes and eight fours. It was his highest score since relinquishing the captaincy at the backend of last year.
Pardoe played some lovely strokes, too. Solid initially, Pardoe helped his side establish a solid platform, before accelerating nicely, demonstrating a wider range of strokes than he's shown previously and running hard between the wickets. As Rhodes put it: "You can't help but be impressed by him."
Though Worcestershire suffered a mid-innings wobble when Gareth Andrew - stumped - and Vikram Solanki - reverse sweeping - fell in the same over, Moeen and Kervezee demonstrated their emerging class with a stand of 69 in 7.5 overs. The hosts were always ahead of the chase and, after bringing down the requirement to 110 from 16 and then 53 from 10, they eventually secured victory with 25 balls to spare.
"This tastes nice," Rhodes said afterwards. "We've played some good cricket this season, but we haven't got the results. We've a young side and it does knock the confidence a bit when they lose games, so they really deserved this today."
This defeat does not quite end Notts' hopes of retaining the Championship, but the warning bells are ringing loudly. Their top-order batting remains fragile, their bowling attacks looks thin and their fielding is, at times, remarkably poor. Riki Wessels looks a good addition and Alex Hales will return to action at the end of this week, but there were times on this last afternoon, when Chris Read must have wondered who he could throw the ball to in an attempt to stem the tide. They're down to seventh in the table and, on the evidence of the last few weeks, will be more concerned with matters at the bottom rather than the top of the table.
Read deserved better. Earlier in the day he produced a very fine hundred to take Notts to a seemingly impregnable position. Runs flowed more quickly than Worcestershire would have liked, with Read completing his first century for 12-months with a lovely straight drive for six off Jack Shantry.
The innings also finished in a blaze of sixes. Three times in four balls, the blameless Alan Richardson was carved over the boundary. He deserved better. His bowling - and the keeping of the excellent Ben Scott - played just as big a part in this victory as the batsmen on the final day.
The win takes Worcestershire off the foot of the table. Bearing in mind the respective budgets of the two clubs, it's a mini-miracle that they have leap-frogged Hampshire. Yorkshire aren't a million-miles away, either. Relegation isn't quite the certainty that some have suggested.
Meanwhile Mark Wagh announced his decision to retire with immediate effect. The 34-year-old, who was planning to call it a day in August, has brought the date forward after suffering a horrendous run of form. His Championship record this season - he's averaged just 16.25 - is grim for one so richly talented. Watching him of late - whether with the bat, or in the field - has been painful. He leaves to pursue a career in Law. Good luck to him.
Wagh once said he'd consider his career unfulfilled if he never played for England. Well, he never did. But any career than includes 31 first-class centuries and two Championship-winners' medals can't be all bad. What's more, he has provided pleasure. Of all the batsmen I've seen, no-one has timed the ball more sweetly than Wagh. Not even Gower or Azharuddin. Wagh was, perhaps, the most graceful batsman of his generation. Not the best - he didn't always have the grim determination that sometimes separates the best from the rest - but quite possibly the most enjoyable. The historian Robert Brooke once referred to the Wagh as "the most joyous batsman" he'd seen in his 70 years. I couldn't agree more.
Besides, had injury not intervened, he might well have played for England. After recording a magical triple-century at Lord's in 2001, he scored heavily for the England Academy and started 2002 an ace away from a call-up. Alas, it was not to be. Damaging his knee ligaments in a game of football, he missed several months of cricket and never quite came as close again.
Perhaps fewer people realised just how good he was than might have been the case. But he helped Warwickshire win a Championship title in 2004 and Nottinghamshire win one in 2010. Both clubs will remember him with fondness. It seems somehow fitting that he should slip out of the game, applauding other players off the pitch, at this most tranquil and beautiful of grounds.
