No 10 Downing Street has announced this morning that Her Majesty The Queen has approved the nomination of the Reverend Canon Mark Tanner MA (Oxon), BA (Hons), MTh, Warden of Cranmer Hall and Vice-Principal of St John's College, University of Durham, as Suffragan Bishop of Berwick in the Diocese of Newcastle.
Mark Simon Austin Tanner, 45, studied at Christ Church, Oxford, and served as a youth worker at Holy Trinity, Coventry before training for ordination at Cranmer Hall. Ordained in 1998, he was Curate at St Mary, Upton (near Birkenhead) and went on to be appointed Vicar of St Mary's, Wheatley (Doncaster) in 2001. In 2005 he was awarded Master of Theology from Chester College, University of Liverpool, and in 2007 he left Wheatley to become Vicar of Holy Trinity, Ripon, North Yorkshire, until returning to Cranmer Hall as Warden in 2011. He became an honorary Canon of Durham Cathedral in 2015 and was elected to the Church of England's General Synod in the same year.
Mark is married to Lindsay and they have two teenage children. He enjoys vehicles (especially motorbikes, Land Rovers, and a 1951 BSA Bantam he is rebuilding), and being a husband and dad.
The Bishop of Newcastle, the Right Reverend Christine Hardman, said, "I am delighted that Mark has accepted the invitation to be the Bishop of Berwick. I know that he will be a great blessing to the whole Diocese of Newcastle. He brings a wonderful range of experience in ministry and is a person of great insight, integrity and warmth. I am looking forward tremendously to our work together as we face the exciting challenge in this Diocese of growing the Church and sharing the depth of God's love in ways that bring hope and touch the reality of people's lives."
Canon Mark Tanner said, "It's a huge honour to be nominated as the next Bishop of Berwick, and I am thrilled to be moving to the Diocese of Newcastle. We love Northumberland, and I am very much looking forward to working with Bishop Christine and the team. There is nothing as wonderful as seeing individuals and communities grow in the life and freedom found in Christ."
The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, said, "As Warden of Cranmer Hall The Revd Canon Mark Tanner has been involved in developing and equipping people of all backgrounds and experience for the work of God's mission. He brings particular spiritual gifts to this ministry, and it will be exciting to see these put to work across the Diocese. He is a gifted theological educator,a nurturer of the gifting of others, and a joyful and winsome witness to Jesus Christ. Mark joined us when the Bishops of the Province of York gathered on Lindisfarne in May 2014, bringing a group of young evangelists who helped us discern the direction of travel for what became the 'Crossroads' Bishops' missions. He and Bishop Christine will make a remarkable team. Berwick-upon-Tweed has had 444 years to wait for its new Suffragan Bishop – I join the whole Diocese of Newcastle in rejoicing today!"
Principal of St John's College, Durham, the Reverend Professor David Wilkinson, said, "Mark has been a good friend and colleague over the past five years and I am thrilled at this new appointment for his life and ministry. He has been an inspiring Warden, who has led with great humour and a fully human spirituality in leadership, preaching, teaching and encouraging worship: his influence on the life of the Cranmer Hall community and the life of St John's has been invaluable and we are sad to lose him."
Mark Tanner will be ordained and consecrated a bishop by the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, in a service at York Minster beginning at 11.00am on Tuesday 18th October (together with the Venerable Mark Ashcroft who is to be Bishop of Bolton in the Diocese of Manchester).
He will be welcomed to his ministry in the Diocese of Newcastle at services in St Nicholas' Cathedral, Newcastle, at 11.00am on Saturday 3rd December, and at St Aidan's Church, Bamburgh, at 2.30pm on Sunday 4th December.

XIO tosses the dice one more time
C'mon ... virtualisation!
Comment Neither-fish-nor-fowl storage supplier XIO is looking to server virtualisation for growth spurt that has so far eluded it. If this fails then all XIO's bets could be off.
XIO, the renamed Xiotech, makes Integrated Storage Elements (ISE): sealed enclosures of solid state and disk drives with a five-year warranty and rocket science-level software delivering high, predictable and constant performance protected against component media failures. The latest version, Hyper ISE, combines solid state dives and disk drives in a 2-tiered product with continuous adaptive data placement on the tiers.
XIO's Hyper ISE
The ISE boxes are much, much more than intelligent storage array shelves but less than mainstream storage array controllers; more than JBODs but less than storage arrays, neither fish nor fowl as it were. Consequently XIO has arrangements with partners that include DataCore to provide the upper level storage controller stack functionality.
This means it has limited entry to enterprise customers who are conservative, dislike new things, and perhaps feel that a sealed canister means no thin provisioning and no ability to upgrade the disks inside to cheaper and/or larger capacity drives over time.
I think we can say that, in the five years since Seagate sold its ISE-inventing Advanced Storage Architecture group to Xiotech, Xiotech has not made a profit. Its VC backers bought in Alan Atkinson almost a year ago to turn things around. So far, he has not.
In August this year there was additional funding and a changed marketing effort with the company rebranded as XIO Storage, and a new focus on solution selling into the server virtualisation market. Alan Atkinson is entering his second year as the turnaround CEO and this year is probably a make-or-break one.
Hyper ISE module with SSDs and HDDs
We talked to him and his chief enterprise architect, Robert Stevenson, when they visited the UK
Hyper ISE launch, competition and markets
Alan Atkinson said that the Hyper ISE product was the fastest-selling launch product in the company's history, and that the company might end the quarter on 30 September with a shipment backlog. With Hyper ISE, XIO is competing against Fusion-io, Kaminario, TMS, Violin Memory, and Whiptail – all suppliers of shared access solid state storage systems.
Atkinson said: "I think the move to solid state is the most significant shift for storage since the rise of networked storage... There are eight to 10 suppliers in this space [with] different go-to-markets. For example, Nimble: customers looking at Nimble are not looking at XIO.
"It's good; there's no embedded incumbent with a CIO relationship. A number of our competitors are Indy cars with no power steering, no air-con and no brakes. They go really fast." Listen to that unspoken "but"... XIO's Hyper ISE on the other hand is likened to a fully-specified car.
You really want to put the storage controller in the hypervisor to minimise latency
HyperISE has high availability and mirroring, etc, but, according to Atkinson: "Its biggest advantage is price due to the SSD and disk drive combination compared to pure solid state storage."
He continued: "We can get more speed out of that box, because the data placement algorithm can be improved and customers get a speed boost via a firmware upgrade."
Robert Stevenson said server virtualisation, big data and the cloud all increased random storage I/O workloads "and we do well there... As mission-critical apps get virtualised and hypervisors run upper-level storage stack functions then XIO is well-positioned... You really want to put the storage controller in the hypervisor to minimise latency... EMC, NetAp, etc, will keep selling arrays with overlapping storage controller functionality and will be in the array sales preservation business."
Atkinson said: "The storage controller is under threat." To which competitors selling storage arrays might reply: "You wish". Atkinson talks of putting controller functionality in a spare server core. Of course the array vendors could point to their virtual storage appliances as doing exactly that.

Newegg beats patent trolls in shopping cart case, "screw them" they say
Newegg battles the patent trolls and dominates, Soverain's shopping cart patents rendered invalid
By: Charles Gantt | Internet & Websites News | Posted: Jan 28, 2013 4:16 pm
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
The notorious patent troll Soverain has been defeated by Newegg over its "shopping cart" infringement case. Soverain had previously won millions in similar suits against giants like Ann Summers and Avon. This decision means that Soverain cannot use the patents in its other current suits against Kohl's, Bloomingdales, Walgreens and Home Depot.
Newegg actually lost the first trial against Soverain back in 2007, but the company stuck to its policy of "Do not negotiate with patent trolls", and appealed the ruling on grounds that the online shopping cart was used well before Soverain's patents were issued.
Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng said that Newegg has "been hit by companies that claim to own the drop-down menu, or a search box, or Web navigation. In fact, I think there's at least four that claim to 'own' some part of a search box." He says that his company has "never lost a patent case" (discounting the now-overturned verdict), and will continue to fight against trolls. "Seriously, screw them - you can quote me on that."

THE UK Korean Friendship Association held a highly successful annual general meeting last Saturday in central London, at which UK KFA members, including a local councillor, were joined by members of the Spanish KFA and comrade Kwang Song Yu from the DPRK Embassy.
Messages of support were received from the worldwide KFA President, Alejandro Cao De Benos, and international KFA branches and sections including US, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Singapore and Spain.
In his message Cao De Benos recalled that the KFA-UK "is our very first international branch", and said: "Each person helping, even a little, is worth 100 who just remain idle. I want to encourage you to assist and suggest projects and action, to reach the biggest awareness in the general population."
He said 2015 was a very important year for both the DPRK and the KFA itself, and invited comrades to join the Spanish KFA's 15th Anniversary celebration at the DPRK Embassy in Madrid in November.
Dermot Hudson, the UK KFA official delegate and chairperson, reported on the activities of the past year, which included protests at the US and puppet south Korean embassies, a public meeting in Liverpool, and a skype conference on the chemical weapons issue.
Theo Russell, UK KFA communications secretary, gave a report of work which highlighted several leaflets prepared for particular campaigns designed to provide information and education on Korea, and be used as a future resource.
He also delivered a message of solidarity from the New Communist Party in which he said that apart from general campaigns on Korea: "The Korean Friendship Association, and our party also work on a higher political level to encourage and help people in Britain to learn about and understand the teachings of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un, and the Juché philosophy". He said the KFA faced an enormous task in Britain: "But the hope is to convince people of all political persuasions in Britain of the justice of Korea's struggle for complete independence, reunification and peace, and to build the strongest possible friendship between our countries."
The meeting discussed a number of important campaign priorities. The 27th June is the start of the Month of Solidarity with the People of Korea, a tradition begun in 1960 by the Afro-Asian People's Solidarity Organisation, for which the UK KFA will hold a picket of the US embassy on June 25th.
Those present were also in agreement on the need to step up support and publicity on the work of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea, which is little known in Britain. A letter to dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un was adopted, along with a resolution condemning the US stockpiling of anthrax toxins in south Korea.

English Language Learning
Walnut Hill is a more complete and interesting community thanks in large part to the international students who come to live, learn, and practice their art here. Many of our international students are non-native English speakers, and for those students we offer an English Language Learning program designed to help with their coursework give them the resources they need to succeed at Walnut Hill and beyond.
Requirements in English Language Learning
All non-native English speakers are required to take an English Language Learning (ELL) placement test at the beginning of the school year. The test results, in conjunction with placement classes, writing samples, interviews, and placement materials, determine placement in the ELL program. ELL courses count toward Walnut Hill's four-year English graduation requirement.
Students placed in ELL Intermediate cannot have a grade placement higher than grade 10, as they must spend a majority of their academic time studying English in order to prepare for other coursework in the program. Between semesters, a student may be able to advance in his or her ELL level by showing a strong performance and with the recommendation of the department, the Director of Studies, and the student's advisor.
Students who demonstrate appropriate skills in English and place out of the ELL program will take either American Literature and Culture or a regular grade-level English course as offered by the Humanities Department.
Courses in English Language Learning
This two-semester course focuses on building a strong foundation in grammatical skills. Through a series of intensive grammar exercises, vocabulary development and syntax, the students will become more proficient at producing a wider variety of language in both their speaking and writing. Classroom tasks are designed to promote active language use through group work that requires collaboration and participation. Course materials include novels that explore the social dynamics in American culture. Placement is determined by the ELL placement test.
The grammar points that this course focuses on include:
- use of parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, articles)
- use of tenses, particularly the simple and continuous forms of past, present tenses
- frequently used irregular verbs, modals and prepositions
- adverbs of frequency
- comparative, superlative adjective forms
- nouns used as adjectives
- idioms and phrasal verbs
- simple and compound sentence structures
Taken in conjunction with ELL Intermediate class, this one semester-long course prepares students to engage fully in the Walnut Hill experience. The course focuses on the improvement of the listening and speaking skills that will be necessary for success in all areas of school life including: academics, arts, and social environments. The course is designed to develop student's confidence and competency necessary to maintain basic conversations, ask questions, express opinions, and interact with peers and teachers. The coursework includes activities that focus on pronunciation, conversing with peers in and out of the classroom, note taking, language lab exercises, conducting presentations, and listening to lectures and speeches.
Taken in conjunction with ELL Intermediate class, this one semester course is designed to build a strong foundation of reading and writing skills necessary for future academic classes. Students will expand vocabulary usage and progress from writing grammatically correct sentences to structured paragraphs. The goal of the class is to provide students with practice to further develop their reading and writing skills needed to comprehend material in higher level courses.
This two-semester course is designed to expand upon the skills and language proficiency acquired in previous studies and to further develop skills for academic expression in oral and written presentations. A particular emphasis is on academic writing and analysis, utilizing different artistic works including: novels, plays, articles, films, audio recordings, images, and personal interviews. Classroom tasks are designed to promote active use of the language in small and large groups where students are expected to defend and challenge ideas meaningfully. Placement is determined by the ELL placement test.
The grammar points that this course focuses on include:
- tense and aspect of verbs
- perfect tenses
- subject - verb agreement
- noun phrases and clauses, adverbial clauses, and relative clauses
- conditional clauses, real and unreal
- less commonly used modals, prepositions and phrasal verbs
- Gerunds
- complex sentence structures
Taken in conjunction with ELL Advanced class, this one semester course is designed to continue the development of the reading and writing skills necessary for future mainstream academic classes. The students will learn to read and write in English in a more complete and nuanced way through intensive exercise in both areas. Students will acquire and be required to employ a wider array of grammatical concepts and vocabulary in order to broaden their expression. Students will read authentic English literature and develop close reading and analytical skills in order to be able to interpret increasingly complex texts and write about them.

Trembley, whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Mr. Dave Trembley may not have a job for long. I am just here to debate over the pros and cons of Dave as a manager. Many fans still do like him, although most are beyond frustrated with some of his coaching decisions that they want him out asap.
There are three main aspects of baseball: hitting, pitching, and defense. I stick baserunning in their with hitting, only because I feel like if you hit you need to be able to make your way around the bases too.
With hitting this season, Dave has been mixing up the lineup. Not just a guy moving one spot up or down, but day to day flipping the lineup upside down. It's debatable whether this is good or not, but I tend to go with skip on this one. Until something consistently works, there's no reason to stick with any formal plan. By working, I don't mean that you have to win every single game or else switch things up, but at least getting some strings of hits together in games and figuring out who works best in front of and behind certain guys. Some think he must just put the names in a hat and pull them out. Soon enough, Atkins will be leading off with Izturis cleaning up.
People say situational hitting isn't there. We have seen many times where the right call for the right type of hitting was made, but guys cannot seem to get balls down at the right time, deep in the air at the right time, or even hits at any time. Crowley may be good, but the players need to be at a certain level already to be on a major league club, or else nobody at this level can help them.
Baserunning. Lots of people complain that we don't steal, and that we
make errors on the base paths. I know he is part of it, but come on,
that's up to Shelby and Samuel to fix. That's all they get paid to do.
Pitching has been a big issue up and down for the O's. For the most part, except for the occasional mishap, our starting rotation has been quite consistent and strong, which is something that O's fans are not used to. The issues come down to our bullpen. There are times, even weeks, where the 'pen is able to close out games and look perfect throughout, then others (like with Gonzo, and this past Saturday night), where it looks like we have nobody to trust there. A lot of it is just the player's performance. Dave has no power over how guys do, he just picks and chooses who goes in out of the set of arms he has provided to him. People blame him for bullpen breakdowns, but I see no reason to. He goes by the book and sometimes takes some risks, just as any coach should, and the guys MacPhail has given him just aren't always working out.
Ignoring the three fundamental categories above, Dave is also a fun guy… sort of. The big pro for Trembley is how he relates to the guys. He has lots of experience coaching down in the minor leagues, so it is actually quite useful that he has the communication skills for a ballclub like this one to be able to communicate well with a core of raw, young talent.
The communication, though, seems to stop there. Last night, his press conference was only 2 mins and 10 secs. That's it. Not sure if the media ran out of questions for him (I hope that's not it, because I have tons) or if they are just frustrated with his generalized answers. Yes, coaches and people in other organizations have been known to be short and broad with their answers at these things, but those guys are usually with winning clubs, so nobody cares. O's fans want answers, and they want them now.
My issue is that we will never know where the problem really is. I have always loved Trembley with this club, because of the communication I spoke about above with the players. MacPhail provides him with a group of guys, and he has to work with what he gets. Where I get confused is to how much MacPhail is allowed to spend on guys, and how much say Trembley has in those decisions to enhance the ballclub. There's no reason Trembley should be blamed for the horrible seasons by Atkins at the plate and Tejada at 3rd so far, since those moves were clearly not his doing. I feel like more is put on the man than he deserves only because so little is really up to him. The pitching is Kranny; the hitting is Crow. Trembley has these guys mindsets in his hands, and I think the team needs to just come together when they have an off day and just gel.
Well, as you read, I am more for Trembley than against. Specifically, people got upset with his decision Saturday night to put Simon in and not leave Uehara in after a great 8th. There is no reason why you don't go with a guy there when he is someone you have been relying on lately to save. He may be risky at times, but no coach would have played that any differently. You will never see Girardi keep Joba in for the 9th and hold out Mariano just because the 8th was solid. Another thing Saturday was people arguing about replacing Wigginton with Lugo. Every coach would have done that also. Yea, in the end, it didn't help in the bottom of the 9th to have Wigginton out. But look at it: You have a two run lead going into the 9th. If you can get 3 outs then you can go home and forget the bottom of the inning completely. To get those outs, you want a good defensive backup. On any day, any coach would want Lugo at the middle infield positions over Wigginton. Wigginton may be a good fill-in guy, but Lugo is the one with the glove.
A few speculations as to his job. Could be fired after the game tonight, win or loss, but because it will lead into a roadtrip to give a new guy a fresh start without dealing with the home crowd. Could be after the roadtrip; where the team is playing in DC on Sunday and it could be done that night or the off day Monday to give the new coach a chance to settle in for a day and meet the guys (unless it is someone like Datz, who knows them by now). Or it could be in June. Or never. Who knows. I hope MacPhail just realizes how a lot of this is not Dave's fault, but more his. The team needs to see that more blame needs to be put on the players, not the coaches.
We will see what the O's decide to do. I think it would be sad if Trembley is dismissed without being given a shot with a true team, but that's how life works I guess. Angelos needs to shell out some cash for some guys, or else we will never be able to compete. No one is playing well in Norfolk, so why is it all Dave's fault that his entire organization is playing poorly? Who knows. Good luck to Dave.
Back Home
Well, the O's are back in the win column a little more often than not lately. That sounds so positive as compared to how the team is truly doing.
I had my first week of finals, and this week brings another. Hoping to be done everything by Wednesday. Also was in Cleveland all this past weekend, including attending the Indians vs. Tigers game Friday night. Caught 5 baseballs even without a glove, would have had 12+ with one because of how empty it was and how many I had to let drop so my hands wouldn't break.
Instead of doing stat analysis, or game by game conversations, I am just going to look over a few topics shortly. This week, I will be once again doing the game by game stuff with more topics thrown in weekly.
The bullpen has been good, the starting pitching has been mostly solid, and the hitting is more inconsistent than Kyle Boller. Moves are coming soon. Corey Patterson is hitting .370 in Norfolk, and will probably be up for Montanez soon. By all the talk, that may not be all. In terms of pitching, there won't be any big moves that we can foresee coming since no pitcher is really too far out of it. The hitting is the problem.
From the Orioles website (orioles.com):
Those are the averages of Orioles hitters. Names aren't even important. Knowing the numbers of slugging and hitting with RISP aren't important, either. It has come down to guys needing to hit in general, not just in the clutch. Markakis, Wigginton, and Wieters are all below .300. Nobody is above .300 (except Felix Pie, whoopee). Guys are below .200. That's just great…
Good bullpen news:
The O's seem to have found a closer in Alfredo Simon. And a new (maybe temporary but still for now) set-up guy in Uehara. In 6 appearances, Simon is 3-3 in save opportunities, and in 6 IP, has only allowed 6 hits, 0 ER, and has 7 Ks and only 4 BBs. Uehara, in his 2 IP in 2 appearances, has only allowed 1 H and 0 ER, along with 2 Ks.
Ohman, through 11 IP in 16 appearances, has still not earned a run. Berken and Meredith are both also set in position so far, neither with an ERA over 2. These 3 combined have the following stat line:
36.2 IP, 27 H, 5 ER, 26:11 K:BB ratio, and a stellar ERA of 1.23.
Pitching looks good. Matusz had his first rocky start after 4 consecutive quality starts, but he should be back on track soon enough. Especially with his T-shirt Tuesday being tomorrow night.
The Orioles homestand now looks like this:
3 games vs. Mariners
3 games vs. Indians
2 games vs. Royals
Even with 2 of those M's games being against Lee and Hernandez, the O's should be able to split this 8 game homestand, if not wint 5 or 6 at least. That would be a huge boost. We will have to wait and see what the club does in terms of roster moves to set this team straight.
Always remember to follow along with the sites I have listed under links. They will always have the best O's info available.
Keep up with http://baltimoresportsreport.com/ They have daily articles and write-ups about Baltimore sports and a lot about the Orioles. Taking part in the discussions on the site is very interesting. They also have lots of interesting stuff like contests and interviews with players and commentators.

Supernatural S11E14 "The Vessel" REVIEW
Airing in the UK on E4 on Wednesdays at 10pm
Writer: Robert Berens
Director: John Badham
Essential Plot Points:
- In a flashback to Nazi-occupied France, a Woman of Letters uncovers a mysterious artefact held by a Nazi officer, who she quickly despatches.
- Present day, and Sam is having an archaeological geek-fest – specifically over a super-weapon said to be found by Nazi archaeologists: the Hand of God, believed to contain traces of God's power. Could it be their answer to defeating Amara?
- They discover that the Hand of God was stolen by a Woman of Letters named Delphine, who took a submarine to get it back to the States – only it never arrived. The sub was sunk.
- It seems like a lost cause, but never say never if you're a Winchester; Dean calls "Cas" to ask for his help, giving Lucifer a break from soul reports and tablet games to help Dean time travel back to the past.
- Despite promising to stick with Dean, "Cas" isn't there when Dean arrives on the USS Bluefin – turns out there's some sort of warding on the sub. "Cas" arrives back in the bunker, absolutely soaking wet.
- Dean gets hold of a navy outfit and sets about trying to find Delphine and her Hand of God. He finds her, but makes the mistake of calling her by her name – something none of the crew knows.
- Dean's forced to admit that he's from the future after his mobile phone's discovered, and after telling Delphine he's a Man of Letters, she believes him.
- He explains how the sub's going down, and he needs to take and protect the Hand of God before it happens.
- Delphine agrees to that and to erasing her warding.
- Sam discovers a spell that's never been used before, but could be their ticket to getting "Cas" back to Dean in the past – except that it needs an archangel to make it work. Of course, Sam doesn't realise he's got an archangel sitting right next to him, so dismisses the idea.
- The final ward on the sub is bound to Delphine – to break it, Delphine has to die.
- Lucifer sets about pulling the ingredients together for the spell, which Sam pegs as desperation. He offers "Cas" his soul as a power-up, which is when Lucifer decides he's had enough. He doesn't need to play Cas anymore!
- He'll get Dean and the Hand of God for his own gain, but he doesn't need Sam anymore.
- Cas isn't about to let Sam die, though, and manages to push through to stop Lucifer from killing him.
- Turns out the German destroyer is headed by none other than the Nazi officer Delphine killed. He's a member of the Thule, the zombie Nazi group.
- Dean suggests using the Hand of God to save the sub, but Delphine says no – they're going to die, and they may as well die with purpose. She fires up the Hand of God herself, breaking the ward on her chest and ripping through the German destroyer with its power.
- Lucifer brings Dean back just as the sub is about to explode, and quickly discovers that it's not Cas he's dealing with anymore. Lucifer takes the Hand of God, only to find out that it's a one-hit-wonder. It's completely dry of power.
- Sam uses the angel banishing sigil to banish Lucifer, leaving the Winchesters to mull over Cas's decision to let Lucifer in.
This week Supernatural is time travelling for the first time in years! Dean's been to the wild west, he's been to 1944, he's gone back to see his parents, and now he's heading back to World War II to save a mythical artefact: the Hand of God. It's high-stakes as usual!
This week's A plot sees Dean having to play naval crew as he stows aboard a military submarine. It's a shame that the episode's time constraints mean we don't see more of Dean trying to fit in, given that he's quickly discovered and forced to out himself as a time traveller. Given that he's on a submarine – the fact that he didn't stand out like a beacon from the word go is impressive enough – but his interactions with the crew and his attempts to get the lingo correct are adorable. Gams! Plus, he could have at least kept the hat on a bit longer! Ah, Dean, you can make anything look good.
On the darker side of things, Dean also has to deal with knowing that everyone he meets on the submarine is bound to die, and there's nothing he can do. He goes as far as sabotaging his mission by offering to use the Hand of God to save everyone aboard, but it's not to be. The final scene, with Dean clutching the now useless Hand of God as he contemplates everything that happened – how he was just a bystander to all those deaths – is a powerful moment, especially for a character who isn't known for emoting all that much.
The B plot is an all-too-rare Sam'n'Cas show – sort of. Does it count if it's Lucifer pretending to be Cas? Anyway, Sam is such a mother hen this episode, telling Dean not to go back to the past, it's too dangerous, and telling "Cas" not to try the spell because he's not strong enough and it's dangerous… he must feel pretty helpless. Especially when he realises just who's taken the wheel of his friend's vessel. Lucifer's reveal is a fantastic moment; understated and yet chilling as he laughs at Sam's bewilderment. He's so different to Castiel; Misha Collins does a great job portraying the switch from one to the other a few times this episode, and the difference is staggering. Almost as good is Lucifer's anger at getting dunked in the ocean, where he's trying to stay in character as Cas whilst displaying behaviour completely incongruous to the character. It's a great performance.
A few one-off characters are introduced this episode, notably Woman of Letters, Delphine. So far there haven't been many Women of Letters, namely Charlie and Dorothy, so it's always good to see that side of it being expanded on. Robert Berens has written a fantastically strong-willed character in Delphine; there aren't many who could stomach faking a relationship with a Nazi for so long! She's dedicated to her mission and her belief in the Men of Letters, and so hardly falters when Dean tells her he's from the future. She's willing to die for what she believes in, and in the end makes the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good. It's a shame we won't be seeing her again.
The concept of Hands of God is also introduced this episode, adding another notch to the "God references" this season. Sam's theory that God was speaking to him may have been sunk in the worst way possible, but now there's a more physical representation to hold onto. The next step towards the man himself making an appearance? These Hands of God look like they're going to be an important asset in defeating The Darkness; through Delphine we've seen a glimpse of what they're capable of, even if only once. Now they just have to find more.
The Good:
- This is a solid episode with a great concept, introducing a new weapon that fits right in with Supernatural lore. The Hand of God wins points for not being a total deus ex machina either, with its one-time-only use.
- Delphine is a great one-hit-wonder character who's given a solid mission and personality even within the time constraints.
- Sam geeking out over archaeology at the beginning of the episode!
- Lucifer idly playing an iPad game instead of ruling Hell. Plus his… creative method of dealing with Crowley. Good doggy.
- Misha Collins' performance as Lucifer continues to impress, particularly the switches between Cas and Lucifer himself.
- The cameo of the Thule, last seen in season eight! Always nice to see past canon brought back.
The Bad:
- Dean's submarine plot seemed a little rushed, but then with episode time constraints that can't be helped.
And the Random:
- This particular Hand of God is part of the Ark of the Covenant, a biblical object made by Moses to hold the Ten Commandments. Of course, as Dean references, it's also part of the main plot of the Indiana Jones movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.
- Check out this blog to find out how the Supernatural crew constructed the USS Bluefin.
- Edith Piaf's "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" is heard multiple times in this episode. Writer Robert Berens has explained how it's Delphine's theme.

<it>Abstract</it>—This paper proposes extensions of sequential programming languages for parallel programming that have the following features:
<l2>

Dynamic Structures: The process structure is dynamic. Processes and variables can be created and deleted.

Paradigm Integration: The programming notation supports shared memory and message passing models.

Determinism: Demonstrating that a program is deterministic_all executions with the same input produce the same output—is straightforward. Programs can be written so that compilers can verify that the programs are deterministic. Nondeterministic constructs can be introduced in a sequence of refinement steps to obtain greater efficiency if required.

</l2>
The ideas have been incorporated in an extension of Fortran, but the underlying sequential imperative language is not central to the ideas described here. A compiler for the Fortran extension, called Fortran M, is available by anonymous ftp from Argonne National Laboratory. Fortran M has been used for a variety of parallel applications.

Thank you COOL WHIP for sponsoring this post. Join us on Facebook for inspiration and recipes for everyday treats. What you add makes it. #coolwhipmoms
Some folks go to culinary school, some folks have a momma, dad or grandma who was a master in the kitchen, or some folks were just born with it…. where you pick up your baking chops depends on the individual and their journey into the kitchen oven. For me, I think the baking gene was instilled deep in my DNA. It was just a question of time when I would discover it.
It was summer of 1992, my aunt had just moved into a cute condo in Los Feliz, CA and I took it upon myself to make her kitchen my second home and really practice my baking. At the time I didn't have much experience to fall back on other than a few tips from my 10th grade home economics class and knew I had to take baby steps into honing my skills. This was going to take lots of trail and error. There was no cooking shows of any kind at that time to refer to other than the occasional Julia Childs re-run on PBS…. basically I was on my own.
I was dreaming of chocolate cake with bananas and a light icing, like the cakes from the Asian bakeries that I had tasted so many times growing up. I wanted it to be fluffy and full of flavor but not overpowering. I grabbed a box of Devil's Food cake mix and followed the instructions on the back of the box then I sliced up three ripe bananas placed them in the middle of my freshly baked cakes and topped the whole thing with COOL WHIP. Voilá! My first attempt at baking came to life and it was beyond delicious. I must have baked that same exact cake 100 times that year. Everybody I knew got some and loved it. Soon it was being requested for every occasion and for no reason at all. This was the cake that allowed me to take my baking training wheels off and ride free into the world of cake making. I love this cake, it's so simple and yet unforgettable. Fast forward 20 years, my son Max is a big fan as well. No matter how much I've grown in the baking arena, I will always revert back to where I started, by baking this special treat…. Chocolate Banana COOL WHIP Cake…. this is where my roots are at.
All photos taken by: Nicole Presley
Ingredients for Chocolate Banana COOL WHIP Cake:
1 – box of devil's food chocolate cake mix (bake 2- round 8″ inch cakes according to package)
3 – ripe bananas
2 – 8 oz. containers COOL WHIP
Take one round cake and place on a cake stand. Then take half of one COOL WHIP container and spread it on cake.
Then slice the bananas and place on top of frosted cake. It's okay to pile some on top of each other.
Now place your second cake on top of banana layer.
Now for the COOL WHIP…. Take the other half of the first container of COOL WHIP and frost the sides.
Then take the other container and frost the entire cake! Sprinkle with little candy sprinkles on top and make this everyday dessert part of your family happiness.
My boy is thinking "Is this your piece, because the rest of the cake is mine!" #FMcoolwhipmoms

FOODTRIP(45): Troopers by Chef Moms
A few days ago, I was looking for a new foodie spot in Marikina when I came across this nice military themed food spot in Parang, Marikna named Troopers By Chef Moms. When I saw how affordable their foods are, I immediately put this on my next-to-eat-places-in-Marikina:)
Place is located in Parang Marikina, something I am not familiar of even though I am from Marikina haha :) But going there is very easy. From Cubao, Katipunan or Bayan Marikina, ride a jeepney with a signage of Parang Fortune and ask to be dropped off at Balagtas.
Troopers by Chef Moms is located at your left side near the INC in Parang. People in the jeepney where so kind as they I am unfamiliar with the place so the one beside me assisted us and told us, "Sige iha sasabihin ko nalang pag Balagtas na".
Troopers by Chef Moms is the first military themed foodie spot I heard/saw in Marikina. Place is not air-conditioned but cool enough as electric fans were used. It can also accommodate maybe 60-70 or more people I think. It's also a Pay first service so upon entering, we immediately got the menu on the counter. Waiters are dressed in khaki uniforms which are really nice :)
Here's the menu: (grabbed @troppersbychefmoms Instagram)
Here's what we ordered:
Major General Pasta (Php 109)
"Shrimps, calamari and spaghetti in olive oil with fresh basil and parmesan cheese"
- Though I think the toppings should be more, their Major General Pasta which is like a Seafood pasta tastes really good!
Colonel (Php 99)
"Spaghetti pasta with button mushrooms, and smoked bacon in Parmesan cream cheese"
- Their Colonel Pasta which is like a Carbonara is very creamy and milky just enough for my taste buds. Though again I think they should put more ingredients/toppings into it.
Nachos (Php 79)
- Nachos pricing at Php 79 is really huge! Their nacho chips taste also different in a good way. Something to try :)
House Blend Iced Tea (Php 20)
- Iced tea priced for only Php20?!?! Haha Their Iced tea tasted like raspberry and tastes so good :)
Over all, all I can say is that this is one of the most affordable food spot in Marikina :) Place is good and foods are great. Very very "sulit"for your money. Will definitely comeback and recommend to my friends :) thumbs up for this place :)

At a glance
Surrounded by Sardinian landscape isn't half bad, so take in the view and enjoy your scenic surroundings.
Hotel Spa Venue
The spa is hidden away in the midst of the hotel and has a range of spa facilities and treatments available to guests.
Family Friendly
There are a range of kids clubs, from the baby club for 18 months to 3 years old, the Mini Club for ages 4-8, the Junior Club for 9-13 year olds, or the Teen Club for 14-17 teenagers. All of the clubs are available at scheduled times.
There's a public beach that is 8km long, with an area specifically reserved for guests, equipped with parasols and sun beds (on payment, upon availability).
Resort and Spa Le Dune is 90 minutes from the Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport
Spa & Leisure
La Sabine Spa is hidden away in the sand dunes, to bring an oasis vibe to their wellness centre. There are three heated freshwater outdoor pools, a Jacuzzi complete with whirlpool jets and hydro-massage beds, wellness cabins, Turkish bath, relaxation area, and changing rooms. There is also a private area of the local beach reserved for guests (on payment, upon availability). Think white sandy beaches and an exercise in escapism. There are an additional six swimming pools, two of which are for children specifically, and all the others are equipped with sun beds, pool attendants, and bars.
The treatments on offer are carried out in the cabins that are part of the spa. These include massages, scrubs, body wraps, Vichy showers, pressotherapy, purifying facial treatments, facials, treatments specifically for men, hydrating treatments, a sand bath, and special rituals.
Hotel & Accommodation
You can't get much more awe-inspiring than Sardinia, where the vibrant greens of centuries old juniper trees contrast starkly against the white sandy beaches. The resort is made up of five hotels, with 496 rooms in total, so you will certainly be spoiled for choice. Each of the hotels has something a little different to offer, be it targeted at families, or specifically for a slice of relaxation away from the hustle and bustle, but there are different strokes for different folks.
As well as there being choice in hotel stay, there are 10 restaurants (some of which come at an extra cost) and six bars so you are not short on options for a dining or drinking experience either. Try a range of cuisines, from seafood, Mediterranean, and ethnic to Sardinian, buffets, and children's restaurants.

Doesn't this look just like a cake, especially with the potatoes on top that look like icing? This recipe was loosely based on this Rachael Ray recipe. Rachael's recipe is meatloaf that has been baked flat with sliced potatoes over the top and cheese sauce poured over. I really wanted to try this recipe, but didn't have the time allowed for the prep and the baking so I improvised. I made my own turkey meatloaf - used 1 pound of ground turkey, a slice of gf bread, egg replacer, ketchup, a sprinkling of Italian seasoning, salt/pepper, chopped basil and put it in a small rectangle pan and baked it at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes. While it was baking, I had just one Yukon gold potato (1 was just right), so I chopped it and boiled it for about 12 minutes. I then made a sauce - I put Earth Balance in a pan and whisked in about 1 tablespoon of arrowroot. I heated 1/2 a cup of chicken stock and 1/2 a cup of almond milk in the microwave and poured it in the pan, whisking while pouring. Back to the potatoes, I drained them and put them back in the hot pot and started mashing, adding a touch of chicken stock (if you boil your potatoes right, they don't need all that milk and butter to mash, just use a little stock, and you have healthier potatoes). After the potatoes were set, I mixed in about a handful of shredded parmigiana cheese and left it on the stove. For the sauce, I added some chopped basil (which I included in the meatloaf) and left it on the stove.
After the meatloaf baked (it shrunk about an inch on all sides) I took it out and I turned the oven temp to broil. I then spread the mashed potatoes over the top and used an off set spatula to cover the meatloaf. I used the spatula to "poke" holes in the meatloaf so as I poured the sauce over, it would seep into the meatloaf. I placed the meatloaf cake under the broiler and broiled for about 3 minutes - I just wanted the potatoes and meatloaf to meld and not turn brown. I had some sauce leftover in the pan and heated it to pour over each "cake" slice.
This came out really good. Probably not as good as Rachael's, as I didn't use her meatloaf recipe, but it wasn't bad at all and I would probably do this again and maybe use ground Italian sausage instead of turkey and make a marinara sauce instead of the sauce I made.
So, next time you're having meatloaf, give my idea a try - you just might like it too.
Happy Baking!!!!
Comments or questions are always welcomed. I would love to hear what you think of this recipe or any of my other posts. Thanks!

|Home | Literature | Free Literature | Trinitarian Baptism and Matthew 28.19
Trinitarian Baptism and Matthew 28:19
Many have been baptized into a trinitarian formula, basing their actions on Matthew 28:19. Now learn the facts about this verse and the proper prescription for immersion.
What Must We Do?
A profound feeling of guilt swept over the Apostle Peter's audience. Those gathered learned that it was their breaking of Yahweh's law (their sin, 1John 3:4) that caused the Savior's death! A feeling of despair overwhelmed them and they earnestly and urgently asked Peter, "What must we do?"
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Yahshua the Messiah for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts )
Baptism is the initial, compelling act one considers after learning of one's own sinful record. Baptism is a willing, voluntary step assumed by a contrite heart, seeking spiritual restoration and the grace and forgiveness freely promised us by the Heavenly Father through His Son.
Israelites were brought into the covenant through involuntary circumcision at infancy. Today, the New Covenant is entered into on one's own volition.
Sadly, not everyone who is called to be grafted into the Abrahamic promise willingly responds. Some may turn their backs upon Yahweh's invitation and though called, are not chosen.
"So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen." (Matt. 20:16)
To the dutiful, seeking Bible student, the question is often raised, "Unto what are we to be baptized?" This very question was foremost among many of the early seekers of truth when learning that baptism means complete immersion into water, representing a voluntary submerging of one's self into the character of Yahshua the Messiah. It signifies a burying of our wills to be in harmony with His.
Baptized into a Name or Titles?
The popular practice is to baptize into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Where did the Trinitarian formula for baptism come from, anyway?
The only verse found in the Bible, dealing with baptism, that even hints at a trinitarian formula is found in Matthew 28:19: "Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
Being baptized into the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" is not being baptized into a name at all! Father and Son are mere titles. Unlike names, no power or promise exists in titles. The Holy Spirit is not a name, but a descriptive noun for the dynamic Power that flows from the Father and is shared by the Son. Many men are fathers and have sons. All sons have fathers. "Father" and "son" are common nouns, not names.
Notice in Matthew 28:19 that the noun "name" is in the singular. It is not "into the names," plural, but the expression is "baptized into THE NAME." This is considered the savior's parting command to His beloved Disciples. Henceforth they would be apostles (meaning those "sent with a mission") and no longer disciples ("learners").
Known as the "Great Commission," this verse appears in the revered King James Version and is often quoted in an attempt to prove the trinity doctrine.
The validity of these departing words has been questioned since the time of Coneybeare. That the Savior actually spoke these exact words that allude to a Trinity is questioned by many reputable scholars.
Bible experts down through history have questioned Matthew 28:19, pointing out that this verse is contrary to both the plain teachings in the Book of Acts and Paul's writings as well. It is not in harmony with other Scriptural teachings, nor do ANY of the narratives on baptism follow this trinitarian practice.
The following fact, brought out in the New International Biblical Commentary, shows why Matthew 28:19 is so questionable: "This is the only occurrence of the formula from the first century... Elsewhere baptism is said to be 'in the name of [Yahshua] (Acts , 19:5),'" p. 268.
Other Examples Curiously Absent
Why is Matthew 28:19 the ONLY passage where the bible seemingly presents a Trinitarian formula or concept for baptism?
In the numerous instances of immersion extant in the New Testament, why don't we find the Apostles baptizing converts into the Trinitarian formula using the phrase, "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit"? Why is not this formula followed anywhere in the entire Book of Acts?
Why does not Paul or Peter specify baptism into the trinitarian formula rather than only into "Yahshua's Name"?
The doctrine of the Trinity says that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are "three persons in one, and all three are equal." But the Savior never said He was equal to the Father. He said His Father was GREATER than He (John ). Paul said the head of the Messiah is Yahweh (1Corinthians 11:3), and in fact is "above all" (Ephesians 4:6).
A number of observations from Bible-based sources reveal that the Trinitarian formula is an erroneous teaching of the Church, a doctrine that eventually crept into the evangel of Matthew. This fraudulent verse was taken from liturgy and soon attached to the end of Matthew's text. The Trinity doctrine is not found in the Old Testament, and is only a forced interpretation of a few New Testament verses. A multitude of references show that the Trinity concept stems from paganism. (Write for our booklet, The Truth about the Trinity).
Matthew 28:19 Examined
"Baptismal Formula," the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1911 edition, states:
"Ursinus, an African monk...also asserted that baptism into the name of [Messiah] alone was valid... "Trine immersion, then, as to the origin of which Basil confesses his ignorance, must be older than either of the rival explanations. These are clearly...invented to explain an existing custom, which the church had adopted from its pagan medium. For pagan lustrations were normally threefold. Ovid...Persius...and Horace...similarly speak of trine lustrations; and on the last mentioned passage the scholiast Acro remarks, 'He uses the words thrice purely, because people in expiating their sins plunge themselves in thrice.' Such examples of the ancient usage encounters us everywhere in Greek and Latin antiquity" (pp. 365-366).
These are rather strong words, but as the Britannica says, the trinitarian formula for baptism was invented to explain an existing custom that the church had adopted strictly from paganism! Notice that the pagan converts, upon being baptized for forgiveness of sins, voluntarily dip themselves three times as a carryover from the trinitarian influence of their previous heathen beliefs.
Religious Sources on Matt. 28:19
The following are comments selected from time-honored, scholarly sources skeptical of the phrase, "baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit," as found in Matthew 28:19:
The Jerusalem Bible, a scholarly, well-respected Catholic work, admits: "It may be that this formula, so far as the fullness of its expression is concerned, is a reflection of the liturgical usage established later in the primitive community. It will be remembered that Acts speaks of baptizing 'in the name of J-sus,' cf. Acts 1:5."
The International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia, vol. 4, p. 2637, under "Baptism," says, "Matthew 28:19 in particular only canonizes a later ecclesiastical situation, that its universalism is contrary to the facts of early Christian history, and its Trinitarian formula "foreign to the mouth of [Yahshua]."
New Revised Standard Version notes on Matthew 28:19: "Modern critics claim this formula is falsely ascribed to [Yahshua] and that it represents later church tradition, for nowhere in the book of Acts is baptism performed with the name of the Trinity..."
The Expositor's Greek New Testament by Nicoll, p. 340, hedges in explaining the dubious Matthew 28 formula: "into the name as confessing the name which embodies the essence of the Christian creed...it is the name not of one but of three, forming a baptismal Trinity -- Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. It is not said into the names of, etc., nor into the name of the Father, and the name of the son, and the name of the Holy Ghost -- Hence might be deduced the idea of a Trinity constituting at the same time a Divine Unity. But this would probably be reading more into the words than was intended."
Word Pictures in the New Testament, p. 245, explains, "Trine immersion is not taught as the Greek Church holds and practices, baptism in the name of the Father, then of the Son, then of the Holy Spirit. The use of name (onoma) here is a common one in the Septuagint and the papyri for power or authority."
The New American Bible, by Catholic Bible Publishers, states concerning Matthew 28:19: "Go, therefore, and make...some regard these words as an interpretation of [Yahshua's] final instruction in the light of the church's early change from a mission to the Jews to one in behalf of the Gentiles...The baptismal formula reflects the church's gradual understanding of G-d as three Persons..."
The Hasting's Encyclopedia of Religion (vol. 2, pp. 377-389) asserts about the change in formula: "The Christian baptism was administered using the Name of [Yahshua]. The trinitarian formula of any sort was not suggested in the early Church history. Baptism was always in the Name of the [Master Yahshua], until the time of Justin Martyr, when the Trinity formula was used."
New Testament Theology by Donald Guthrie points out inconsistencies with Matthew 28:19: "The dispute over the authenticity of the triune formula revolves around the comparison with the simpler formula used in Acts (cf. ; ; ; 19:5). The question arises whether the triune formula requires a late date." A footnote states, "...and concludes against the words being the ipsissima verba [exact words] of [Yahshua], mainly on the grounds of historical probability," p.719.
Another footnote explains that the Triune formula was used for the Gentiles, whereas in Acts those baptized were Jews or those fearing Yahweh. In other words, Jews were immersed into Yahshua's Name, and Gentiles into the Trinitarian formula, as a trinity was familiar to pagans, p. 719.
Adam Clarke's Commentary corroborates the practice: "The Jews baptized proselytes into the name of the Father, that is, into the profession g-d, whom they called by the name of Father. The apostles baptized the Jews into the name of [Yahshua] the Son, and the Gentiles into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," vol.3, p. 285.
Expositors' Bible Commentary says only one formula was ever correctly used, a single-name prescription: "Many deny the authenticity of this Trinitarian formula, however, not on the basis of doubtful reconstructions of the development of doctrine, but on the basis of the fact that the only evidence we have of actual Christian baptism indicates a consistent monadic formula -- baptism in [Yahshua's] name..." vol. 8, p. 598.
The Interpreter's Bible agrees: "Probably this baptismal formula was simpler in the very first days of the church -- 'in the name of the [Master Yahshua].' The formula of verse 19 was probably a later development," vol. 7, p. 624.
The Anchor Bible, a Catholic reference Bible, says on Matthew, "The neophyte baptized into the name of the Messiah thus not only pledges allegiance to [Yahshua] as the Messiah and Sovereign, but is also incorporated into fellowship with Him. Hence the expression used in this verse describes an entrance into fellowship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit...It seems plain from the early material in Acts that baptism was performed "in the name of" and also "into the name of" [Yahshua] as Sovereign and Messiah. The mistake of so many writers on the New Testament lies in treating this as a liturgical formula (which it later became), and not as a description what baptism accomplished," pp. 107-108.
Parrinder's World Religions raises the question of a later addition of the verse: "This verse may well be a later interpolation into the original gospel of Matthew, but it certainly reflects what the early Church did, in fact, does," p. 425.
Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible says, "...Matthew 28:19 has also been disputed on textural grounds, but in the opinion of many scholars the words may still be regarded as part of the true text of Matthew. There is, however, grave doubt whether they may be regarded as ipsissima verba of [Yahshua]. The evidence of Acts 2:38; ; ; 19:5 supported by Galatians 3:27; Romans 6:3 "suggests...Yahshua only, p. 351.
Word Pictures in New Testament by A. T. Robertson: "The name of [Yahshua] is the essential part of it as is shown in Acts. Trine immersion is not taught as the Greek Church holds and practices, baptism in the name of the Father, then of the Son, then of the Holy Spirit. The use of name (onoma) here is a common one in the Septuagint and the papyri for power or authority," vol. 1, p.245.
Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, sums up: "[Yahshua], however, cannot have given His disciples this Trinitarian order of baptism after His resurrection; for the New Testament knows only baptism in the name of [Yahshua] (Acts 2:38; 8:16; 19:5; Gal. 3:27; Rom. 6:3; 1Cor. 1:13-15), which still occurs even in the second and third centuries, while the Trinitarian formula occurs only in Matt. 28:19, and then only again Didache 7:1 and Justin, Apol. 1:61...Finally, the distinctly liturgical character of the formula...is strange; it was not the way of [Yahshua] to make such formulas...the formal authenticity of Matt. 28:19 must be disputed..." (p.435).
Examples of Immersion in the King James Version
The Book of Acts shows that baptisms were in the name of the Savior alone. There is no example in the Book of Acts of any Trinitarian formula anywhere. Note the following: "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahshua the Messiah for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts )
"For as yet [the Spirit] was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of Yahshua the Messiah." (Acts )
"And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of [Yahshua the Messiah]. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days." (Acts )
"When they heard [this], they were baptized in the name of the sovereign Yahshua." (Acts 19:5)
"And now why tarriest? arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on [His name -- all texts]." (Acts )
In all five of the above references to baptism in the Book of Acts, the baptisms are done in the Name of Yahshua. That we be baptized into Yahshua's saving Name is a very important consideration, as we will show.
Salvation in Yahshua the Messiah
Of ourselves, we can do nothing that will redeem us. All our righteousness is as filthy rags in Yahweh's sight. The only way we can be clothed in clean raiment is by having our robes washed in the blood of the Lamb. By yielding to Him and acknowledging Him as Sovereign we can enter into the presence of Yahweh. We must repent from our past life and acknowledge Yahshua as the Head of the body. Otherwise we are lost.
"And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the [Sovereign] Yahshua and by the Spirit of our Elohim." (1Cor. )
Through baptism into the Messiah, we publicly acknowledge that we have turned from our past life that was without hope, ending only in death. Now we follow in the footsteps of our beloved Savior. We bury our past life in the baptismal waters and are brought forth to walk in newness of life.
"Know you
not, that so many of us as were baptized into Yahshua Messiah were baptized
into His death?" "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that
like as Messiah was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in newness of life." (
Notice, our burial is with Yahshua, not with a Trinity! Paul makes the point that we are immersed into Yahshua's Name, putting the old carnal nature to death and arising from the baptismal waters to walk as the Savior walks, in complete obedience to Yahweh. The Apostle Peter agrees with Paul, there is only one Name by which we can attain salvation. That is in the Name, Yahshua, the Name the Savior was given directly from the heavens. Note Peter's bold words: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts )
Laying On Hands Of The Presbytery
We are given the Holy Spirit at baptism by the laying on of hands of the Presbytery (the Elders). Receiving the Holy Spirit empowers us to overcome the pulls and temptations of the world, our flesh, and the Adversary.
"Then laid they [their] hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit."
"And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money." (Acts 8:17-18)
Baptisms in the Bible were always done by the ministers. Following the immersion, the Apostles laid hands on the baptized brethren, asking for Yahweh's blessings and for the Holy Spirit to indwell them. (This practice we continue to follow in Yahweh's Assembly In Yahshua). Paul told Timothy the Holy Spirit was given him by the laying on of hands of the ordained Elders of the Assembly:
"Neglect not the gift that is in you, which was given you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery." (1Tim )
Paul was not ashamed to claim that the spiritual gift passed on to young Timothy was through the placing of his own hands on the young evangelist.
"Wherefore, I put you in remembrance that you stir up the gift of Yahweh, which is in you by the putting on of my hands." (2Tim. 1:6)
The Body Of Messiah, The Assembly
The only way we are to be given the promises is through Yahshua; for He is the only One Who has kept all the law perfectly!
"For as many of you as have been baptized into Messiah have put on Messiah. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Messiah Yahshua." (Gal. 3:27-28)
Through being baptized into the Name of Yahshua we show our complete faith in Yahshua and are made children of Yahweh.
"And if you be Messiah's, then are you Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Gal. 3:29). By becoming the Messiah's through baptism into His Name, we are partakers of promises to Abraham made back in Genesis 12 and 15 and carried on through the Old Testament and amplified so gloriously in the New Testament.
By being immersed into Yahshua's saving Name we act out the Savior's death and resurrection, burying our sins in the waters of baptism. Now the power of Yahweh gives us a willing heart as we overcome and endure day by day, looking for the resurrection day as shown by the Apostle Peter:
"The like figure whereunto even baptism does also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward Yahweh), by the resurrection of Yahshua Messiah." (1Peter )
The Bible teaches there is but one proper baptism. Unless one has been fully dipped under water, into the Name of Yahshua, it is not a proper baptism. Baptisms done in the Trinity formula of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are improper, based on an added liturgical formula in Matthew 28:19.
Neither is baptism in Ha Ruach Chodesh (the Holy Spirit) proper, for the Spirit is the power or active force, the vitality that flows from the Father and shared by the Son.
Being baptized into Yahshua's Name is the only proper formula for baptism. The preposition, "into," is the Greek, "eis," and means, "motion toward." We persist in following Him. We continually strive to be like the Messiah and grow spiritually in Him so that we are like Him, for there is but "One Master, one faith, one baptism." (Eph. 4:5)
When immersed into Yahshua's saving Name, we take hold of the New Covenant, and we become a part of His body of believers, and we should then do all we can to edify the body, His Assembly. As already noted, we individually are given a special gift to be used in building and strengthening His body, which we are to use in our role as a member of Messiah's Body. To ensure growth within the Assembly: "Yahweh has set some in the assembly, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues." (1Cor. )
Being properly baptized into the only Name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, Yahshua puts us into the Body of true believers. It is up to you to answer Yahweh's call to become a part of that Body through acknowledging the Head of that Body. His Name is Yahshua the Messiah.
"For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit." (1Cor. )
Baptism of John Was of Repentance
Unless one has been immersed into Yahshua, "the only name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved," it is not a baptism unto salvation. Being immersed in "J-sus Name," or in the "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost/Spirit," is improper.
According to Acts 19:1-5, such baptisms are but a baptism of repentance. That is, the candidate was obedient and did what he understood at the time. He was repentant, seeking Yahweh and Yahshua. But he did not fulfill the correct prescription for immersion unto salvation through the saving Name.
Now that you have seen the Bible example of proper baptism, if you have not been immersed into Yahshua's saving Name with the laying on of hands, determine now to do so. You should not hang back or put off this most important act. Send for our baptismal counseling guide and learn more about your personal obligation so that you, too, can enter into the New Covenant.

As you may have noticed, Thoughtsandthunder has undergone major changes recently. When I first started blogging, I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. Sure, I've done programming and likewise in school but creating a small space on the internet that looked pretty, grabbed people's attention and also worked as an escapism for me and my ideas all at the same time was never really on the agenda.
Until recently, I wasn't aware of the great resources available to me and the great community out there. Anyway, I propose a mid-year promise- I have lots of exciting things coming up this year and I've only just dipped my little toe into the pool of blogging. I'm not going to say that I am going to dive bomb into the deep end just yet but I am going to keep on churning out content. I'm gaining more and more experience as time goes on and it can only get better from here, right?
So thanks to those who have joined me on this little blogging journey so far, and here's to great things to come. Please bear with me for the meantime, as I work on making this little space even better.
A somewhat optimistic,
