Following Judah's Lion: Wolves
Wolves are rabid carnivores who travel in packs. And when
they have brought down an animal they eat large amounts of meat. Because they
cooperate they can bring down much larger animals. They are relentless and will
show no mercy once they have surrounded their prey. They have powerful jaws and
are extremely vicious. They give their pups milk at the beginning, but later
they regurgitate meat to wean them away from milk and onto meat. They are
beautiful animals but they are ferocious killers who specialize in spotting the
weak and infirmed animals.
Matt.7: 14
Take heed therefore unto
We live in perilous times where wars rage, pestilence
kills millions, racial hatred abounds, and violence covers the earth. Sexual
perversion is pervasive, the love of money is the norm, and men and women are
idolized. The Scriptures have clearly warned us about the time in which we now
live. Sin runs without limits. But there is also another phenomenon which has
accelerated in these last days.
Within the church, and wearing the garments called
Christian, there are spiritual wolves whose falsehoods relentlessly pursue the
flock of God. These men and women have lent themselves to evil spirits and now
they run to and fro with great energy to spread messages of deception. The
Scriptures call them wolves since they are ruthless and many appear beautiful
while still being carnivores in the spirit. They seek men’s souls and when they
have chased them with alluring messages stuffed with soaring promises of great
wealth and health and personal importance, they ravage their very souls without
the prey even realizing what is happening.
These wolves tear at the very core of redemption and the
Person and exclusivity of the Lord Jesus. Although they seem nice and
reasonable they are diabolical teachers of evil who bring in damnable heresies.
Some teach that all will eventually be saved. Some teach that a faith in Jesus
Christ is unnecessary for eternal life. Some teach all religions lead to heaven.
Some teach that Jesus is an offspring of God and therefore subservient. Some
teach that there are additional writings just as inspired as the Bible. Some
teach that by human good deeds can we be saved. Some teach that Jesus was a
good man who pointed the way to God. Some teach that the cross was just an
example. Some teach that the resurrection is just a metaphor. Some teach that
Jesus is not coming back. Some teach that Jews can be saved through the law
without Jesus. Some teach there is no such thing as sin. Some teach a bloodless
These are ravenous wolves who wear the shepherd’s robe
but are slaughtering the sheep and the goats with their humanistic revelations
and their intellectual heresy. You can see them on television. You can hear
them on the radio. Their books are in every Christian bookstore. Their Cds are
in widespread circulation. They hold conferences across the nation. They are on
secular talk shows. They are at national prayer breakfasts. They are in “Bring
Back America” gatherings. They are called upon for public prayers. They say they believe the Bible. They say they believe in
Jesus. They have compassion on the poor. They are eloquent about all things
religious. They join hands with other religions. They quote the Pope. They are
great patriots. They dismiss the old paths. They have great wealth. They write
bestselling books. They are pastors to the unbelievers. They speak in riddles.
They are marvelous story tellers. They share platforms with infidels.
These are men and women who use the Christian vernacular
but mean very different things. They avoid direct questions about what they
believe. They embrace almost any translation of the Bible. They are looked upon
as experts by the news channels. They believe discernment is condemnation.
These wolves are very hospitable and have a good word for anyone. They have
great followings who quote them often. They claim to be “orthodox” but yet
teach things that are at odds with Scripture. They all join hands together from
prosperity to emergent to ecumentical to neo-Calvinist to free will to liberal
and even to a new age/Christian amalgam. Yes, they run in packs. And they are prolific in their
falsehoods and very energetic in their ministry. They are not slackers. To be sure
they are relentless and show up all around the country. Their conferences and
book signings are well orchestrated and slick events. Many times they have
beautiful music to enhance the atmosphere. Important and rich people like them.
They are in the spotlight many times. They make the cover of many magazines.
The secular media treats them with respect and even reverence. Millions hang on
every word they say. In fact many people believe any and all things that
proceed from their mouths.
Yes, these wolves are the darlings of the evangelical
communities. They express a false humility while they receive accolades from
everyone. They have sound reasoning and philosophical perspectives. They draw
followers by their worldly wisdom and insights. Good advice is their mainstay
and Jesus is a vehicle to earthly pursuits. The cross is avoided at all costs
and self denial is a bad thing according to their theology. There is a caste
system to these wolves. Some are pack leaders while other are second tier
subordinates who desire to be elevated by attaching themselves to the pack
leader. There are many wolf schools which are training men and women to be
better and more effective wolves.
And here we are. Do not be deceived. These wolves are
legion throughout America. The churches are their dens as well as their hunting
grounds. With great and swelling words they lead sheep astray, and while
promising them great success they make merchandise of them. They feed their
listeners the regurgitated meat they have pulled off rotting falsehoods. And
the meat they feed is poison to the souls of men. Little by little those that
listen are drawn in until they themselves are so deceived they cannot know
truth. So called healings take place by their hands and by their word.
These are spiritual wolves and evil messengers. Only God
knows how they have been transformed into these carnivores, however they are
wolves now. And when one wolf falls another one takes up his mantle. They
continue to profess new doctrines that only they can see. They say they hear
directly from God and some even hear him audibly. They are the spiritual Bourgeoisie
who graciously feed the gullible Proletariat that which will extract the most
money from them. While they fare sumptuously and live in luxury, those that
still live like they always have hang on their promises and look for their own
Be diligent and watch. The wolves run with great vigor
and they can spot the smallest weakness. They will offer you financial success,
personal achievement, great self image, spiritual insight, dreams and visions,
relationship enhancement, favor with God, and even sexual benefits. All of this
comes from them and them alone. They draw disciples unto themselves who know
nothing of Jesus and His truth. These are wolves and their judgment will come soon
enough. Watch and pray. A true shepherd will draw you to deepen your knowledge and
obedience to Jesus and His teachings. A wolf will draw you to himself and when
you get close enough he will destroy you.
Ezekiel 22: 26-28.26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken.The Lord chose such an appropriate animal to describe false ministers/prophets and the like.
A sad result of the "health and wealth" ministries is that many deceived Cristians look down on the poor and disabled as being unsaved or at the very leasst out of favor with God. These beliefs are contrary to the teaches of Jesus. Wake up Church!
The sad result of the so-called "health and wealth" ministries is that many deceived Christians believe that the poor and disabled are not saved or at the very least out of favor with God. Jesus Christ did not teach us to look down on the poor and suffering. Wake up Church! 7:54 PM
Some aren't even leaders, they are everyday Christians who regurgitate what they learn from others that is incorrect and will challenge you if you question anything.Read the Word EVERYDAY, PRAY EVERYDAY. Hold everything up to Scripture.You don't need classes in Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic to understand God's Word. All you need is a pure heart and a willingness to let the Holy Spirit lead you. The Spirit will tell you what is correct and what is not. The Bible explains itself if you read it. I am studying Hebrews and it is amazing how clear and understandable the Word of God is if you seek to know the truth with a sincere heart. I truly want to know more and He is not slack in giving me my hearts desire to learn and know more. My prayer is to be able to stay hungry, though sometimes my time management skills aren't very good and it is a challenge to get everything done and still study. The dishes have gone undone quite often.Always bring any questions to the Lord in prayer and seek the guidance of a godly Pastor, brother or sister.Cling to the Cross keep your eyes on the Lord and not man! Love to all!your sister in Christ Jesus,Cherie c.
Treasured readers, no subject is more important than learning about the true identity of Jesus!In Luke 4 we read: 18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.22And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth...The holy Bible teaches very uniquely about the identity of Jesus of Nazareth. TrulyGod’s holy Spirit was upom Him, for He was anointed by God to preach the gospel!Truly He came from heaven to preach the gospel and can heal the brokenhearted. Truly Jesus is God’s deliverer who longs to set Satan’s captives free and help the spiritually blind recover their sight. When Jesus said this scripture, see Isaiah 61, was fulfilled He bore witness that He fulfills scripture. He is the Spirit of prophecy.The risen Jesus says in Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.20Behold, I stand at the door (of your heart), and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.What a glorious opportunity we have to welcome the righteous One to dwell with us! Always treasure the holy Bible! The holy Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is Our King and teacher, our object of worship and our atoning sacrifice! Truly He is God with us. May God Triune continue to bless you Rick and all your readers.
I think there is a time and place for learning Greek and or Hebrew especially for an in depth researcher of God's word. I'm not a Greek or Hebrew scholar myself, so to compensate for this lack of knowledge I learn from some cherished teachers who have an expertise in this important specialised area of study.
Lorena, thank you for that scripture!Valuable addition to Rick's insightful remarks on spiritual wolves.In Jesus, Steve
We all know that we are living in the end times. Pastor Rick, is it possible that the age of grace is just about to end???
The wolves are in full force. The new Bible miniseries has changed the Bible to be socially acceptable.For information and to read how they have changed the text of the Bible, for to:http://christianresearchnetwork.org/2013/03/04/the-bible-the-book-the-miniseries-and-the-sins-of-sodom/Please note I do not endorse any particular discernment ministry, but have respect for those who warn us about what is going on. There are a few that have caused me to question, but then no one is yet perfect. Although we need this information, prayer and discernment is still vital tools in our walk with the Lord. It is so close brothers and sisters; Jesus' return is very close, Praise God.your sister in Christ Jesus,Cherie c.
Anonymous 12:47 PM, God is gracious and as long as Christians still have a fervent desire in their heart to bless their neighbour God will be with them. The Lord Jesus is coming again soon but until He does God's children have plenty meaning work to do. When the word of God has been preached and taught worldwide to God's satisfaction then all-glorious Jesus will return! And what a time that will be! Although unbelieving man is foolish and self destructive, God Triune is still revealing Himself through the gracious healing love of Lord Jesus Christ! Let's praise the perfect atoning sacrifice of God's beloved sinless Son! what a saviour. What a King. What a Lord. What a trustworthy teacher, cherished companion and friend with have in our justiceand joy-bringing Lord Jesus! 3:48 PM
Rick, there are two other thing that I think important traits for a pack of wolves. Every so often the pack leader is challenged. Sometimes the challenge is a deadly confrontation. Because in a wolf pack there can only be one alpha male. Sometimes the snarling, or a low guttural growl, or a well placed bite on the underling ends it all. So when you hear these silver-tongued devils spouting there new so called doctrines of faith, listen to how it is put together and how they deal with those that they consider lay ministry.Second, you know that in a wolf pack there is never a female pack leader. But yet in this new found/contrived faith there are many women “leaders”.Every time I had heard from the pulpit that they had a “new thing”, I told my wife that we were leaving.Jesus Christ is the Author and finisher of my faith and He will be the recipient of my praise and honor. "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!" Revelation 5:12 (Selah)my insertion.The above statement does not say we are sometimes to give honor to any other man!JoelTexas
The Lord Jesus is coming again soon but until He does God's children have plenty of meaningful rewarding work to do in His service. What a friend we have in our justice and joy-bringing Lord Jesus!

Nautical Wall letters-
My newest Nautical themed wall letters comes from a mom that is using this Freeport baby bedding, pictured here, by Pottery Barn Kids. While the design elements were very similar to others I have painted in the past, the different colored boats, and sails gave me a little more to play with.
Thank you to Baby B's mom, for selecting me out of the many talented artists you can have chosen to paint these wall letters. I hope Baby B loves them as much as I do! :)

DST Paddle on the Hooch
Lets have a fun paddle to celebrate the longer days. Meeting at Morgan Falls on Sunday March 9th for a leisurely paddle. All levels welcome. Come Meet your fellow SUPers. After we get off the water, grab drinks and a bite to eat ... location TBD
Jeff N. PICTURES ON FB AT SUPERTIMEATLANTA 0 · March 9, 2014 Franz H. Hey, any reason why this meetup is so late in the afternoon? 0 · March 7, 2014 Heather F. It's Daylight Savings Time ... It's really more like 2:30 so letting the temps get warmed up. We have daylight later so taking advantage of it. 0 · March 8, 2014 Adriane I. Looking forward to it. 0 · March 7, 2014 Brad Is there a place to rent by the water? I don't have a rack or trailer for a huge paddleboard. Any suggestions? 0 · February 24, 2014 Heather F. Check out High Country Outfitters ... I'm not sure if they are doing their rentals yet but they usually deliver boards when they start rental season. 0 · February 24, 2014 Jeff N. Let me know and I can bring a rental 0 · March 7, 2014 Jeff N. Hey, I have 5 BIC 11' 6" boards that I could bring and rent out for this if anybody is interested but I don't want to step on anybody's toes if someone is already lined up to do this and I don't want to interfere with an organizer but if I can be of help Mr. Organizer, please let me know. 0 · March 6, 2014 John h. Please organize more of these on the hooch. Unfortunately I will be travelling this Sunday 1 · March 4, 2014 Eric I. Sorry, wish I could. Enjoy 0 · March 4, 2014 A former member don't have a board yet, still relatively new to the sport. are there rentals nearby or an available one to use within the group? 0 · March 4, 2014 Phyllis Ok what do you guys wear when paddling when water is frigid cold? I can almost guarantee I will fall in at some point! 0 · February 25, 2014 View all 4 replies
Thomas P. I cant speak for everyone but in the many years I have paddled various vehicles i have found I like a pair of neoprene pants and a neoprene vest with fleece layers on top of the vest. This keeps me warm without overheating and drains out quickly if wet. i must also say that I draw a line about 40deg or so and I don't paddle below that. 0 · February 26, 2014 Heather F. I wear running clothes (usually dryfit) ... neoprene can get pretty warm depending on how hard you are paddling. When it's expected to be really cold or windy, I usually throw on some nylon pants and a water resistant jacket over my typical running clothes. Booties with wool socks have done a great job helping me to keep feeling in my toes. Take it easy and have the confidence that you aren't going for a swim, the river is usually pretty calm even if there is a current :) 0 · February 28, 2014 Thomas P. Wow, thanks for making me look like a wus! :-) 0 · February 28, 2014 Heather F. no intention of making you look like a wus! just pointing out that there are other options and falling in when temps are not completely ideal is not inveitable ;-) 0 · February 28, 2014 Thomas P.

Crunchy with Style!: Baby Update!
I met my Nurse Midwife today...LOVED HER! Seriously, she is perfect for what I want/expect for my pregnancy. She was completely fine with me still nursing Mason and saw no reason for me to quit. The only weird thing is that we couldn't hear a heartbeat. Mine kept coming over the Doppler instead, so they ended up doing a mini ultrasound and we saw the little beebster bouncing around with a beating heart! Yay! I am going back Thursday for a full hour-long ultrasound for them to ahem, confirm dates. Fine with me.
In other news, I am a tad pissed. Remember those adorable swim diapers I bought nearly three weeks ago for Mexico? Yeah, well I finally emailed the company yesterday and got a reply today saying that they are on back order until the 16th of March! Fantastic, that is the day we leave. So it looks like we'll be taking the typical Little Swimmers. Talk about horrible customer service! Life goes on.
Posted by AnnieM at 6:22 PM
I've been meaning to tell you that I thought of you at Target when I saw something similar to the diaper covers you ordered. It looked like there was a huge selection in very vibrant colors by the baby section.
Yay! So happy to hear that! Not happy about the diaps, though. Did you try going to the Kushies website and seeing who sells them in this state? You may be able to get them somewhere closer & faster & then you can cancel the order w/ the a-wipes!
I actually bought Hayden the ones from Target last year. They worked MUCH better than the lil swimmies things. If they poop in those, it is more of a mess than it is worth.
Customer service...what's that? I swear it doesn't exist anymore.
Will there be internet access in Mexico? If not, I think I can speak for everyone and say we will sure miss you!
And way to go on "confirming those dates."

Social science, social policy, and the law (Book, 1999) [WorldCat.org]
I thought you might be interested in this item at http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/40500818 Title: Social science, social policy, and the law Author: Patricia Ewick; Robert A Kagan; Austin Sarat Publisher: New York : Russell Sage Foundation, ©1999. ISBN/ISSN: 0871544261 9780871544261 OCLC:40500818
Patricia Ewick; Robert A Kagan; Austin Sarat
"Social science has been an important influence on legal thought since the legal realists of the 1930s began to argue that laws should be socially workable as well as legally valid. With the expansion of legal rights in the 1960s, the law and social science were bound together by an optimistic belief that legal interventions, if fully informed by social science, could become an effective instrument of social improvement. Legal justice, it was hoped, could translate directly into social justice. Though this optimism has receded in both disciplines, social science and the law have remained intimately connected. Social Science, Social Policy, and the Law maps out this new relationship, applying social science to particular legal issues and reflecting upon the role of social science in legal thought."

schema:reviewBody ""Social science has been an important influence on legal thought since the legal realists of the 1930s began to argue that laws should be socially workable as well as legally valid. With the expansion of legal rights in the 1960s, the law and social science were bound together by an optimistic belief that legal interventions, if fully informed by social science, could become an effective instrument of social improvement. Legal justice, it was hoped, could translate directly into social justice. Though this optimism has receded in both disciplines, social science and the law have remained intimately connected. Social Science, Social Policy, and the Law maps out this new relationship, applying social science to particular legal issues and reflecting upon the role of social science in legal thought." "The contributors to this volume share the belief that social science can and should influence legal policy making."--BOOK JACKET." ;

First McDonald’s Regular | purpleborough
First McDonald’s Regular
Speeding through the dark; few cars; one eighteen wheeler; one last conversation giving “words of wisdom”…correct exit; many cars behind us; dropped at the curb at exactly 5 a.m…..”American to the left; escalator straight ahead; “You have money for your baggage check and food?”
Moment of awkward….”Merry Christmas” echoed and then the hug…”See you in a couple of weeks.”
Looking out the side window…a small wave…and then the rear view window…headed in the right direction…. so on to the exit back to town. More cars; more trucks. No passenger.
McDonald’s opens at 5 a.m. As I pull into the lot to park, I see this gentleman getting out. I thought I would be the first, however, he was.
The sausages were not done so I trotted off to the bathroom; picking up the McMuffin and Senior coffee I seat myself with back to the wall at a table for one.
I am facing the First Regular Customer.
He is reading his paper and falling asleep and reading his paper and falling asleep. I ask the McDonald’s server if he were there a lot and she verified that he came every day and that he had a “sleeping disorder”. They kept an eye on him.
Even though I was there alone; I felt he was more alone. What a strange feeling to feel that another was more alone than I.

This story says a lot between the lines. And, your last sentence, whew, I could relate. Hugs and happy travels, Linda.
Yes, it does have other words, not spoken, between the lines. Thank you, Lori, for taking note.
I corrected a mistake in the body…”rear view”….

WARNING: Advent purists, cover your eyes. Yes, a CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!
The tree's been up for a week now -- the first one to grace the semi-saintly household in six years.
I retrieved the big box full of tree parts from the attic last Sunday afternoon, and sneezed as I sorted out branches of various sizes, pipes and footings. The tree came up. I fluffed out its branches, sneezing a little more, and opened boxes of ornaments that had been waiting so long for me to pull them out.
A new, dollar-store, lighted star went atop the tree, and I pronounced it lovely.
Wisely (I thought), I put the more fragile and precious ornaments higher on the tree, out of Jack the Brat's reach. This worked well all week; I would come home from work to find four or five of the sturdier ornaments on the floor. Jack likes to pull them off the tree with his claws, as well as use them, as they dangle from their branches, like a boxer uses a punching bag.
The tree, slightly worse for wear
I have some ornaments from my childhood, obtained when, about 10 years ago, my mother decided she didn't want her Christmas tree ornaments any more, and she would buy new ones. Not a lot were left from my childhood, but some, and some from many years of Christmas past.
My mother was never a sentimentalist. She would hold onto old butter tubs for 10 years, but family keepsakes would bite the dust, labelled "old junk."
There was one lovely blue ornament, with the words "Silent Night" in white-and-silver frosted lettering floating above a little village. I had it high up, out of Jack's reach.
Last night, Jack apparently decided he would climb in among the tree branches and wait, like a crafty leopard, for some poor, hapless cat like Elvis to come sauntering by, and pounce!
I could see the holes in the tree where the freshly fluffed branches were mashed down.
The blue ornament apparently came flying off the tree, hit the edge of the coffee table, and slid to the floor in a smithereened heap. One of its kinfolk met a similar fate. More ornaments lay still on the floor, casualties of Christmas carnage.
Some of the forensic evidence, held for future proceedings
I was somewhat put out. Jack the Brat obviously realized that, and disappeared while I cleaned broken glass from the floor and got ready for the Advent IV church service. He's been extra sweet this afternoon, but couldn't resist trying to climb into the tree once. Sigh.
"Honest, it wasn't me. I didn't do it."
"Yeah, it was Jacko, all right"
Ah well. I spent the afternoon roasting a chicken I'd planned to cook yesterday, but went to the movies instead. Betsy, the cats and I had a little taste, but its about to go into the refrigerator -- I'm having dinner at friends' tonight. The chicken will be good for leftovers tomorrow, and for chicken sandwiches. I used my special recipe of fresh orange, garlic, pepper blend and sage. Heavenly. Crispy skin on the outside, succulent and falling-off-the-bone tender inside.
I like to roast a chicken or turkey at Christmastime -- it makes the house smell so good, along with the pumpkin pie that's in the oven now. It will go out to dinner with me, at the house of some friends. Then, I'll be off to the midnight service, where I'll serve at the altar. This is my favorite service, and time to serve, of the year.
Now, I'm sitting here with a cup of latte, made with my own espresso machine -- my Christmas gift to me. Jack's perched in the chair next to me, his favorite spot when I'm on the computer.
"This is pretty tame, after being a TREE leopard!"
Addendum, in answer to Caminante's question.
Stay mad? Who could stay mad at this?
Posted by Saint Pat at 12/24/2006 02:12:00 PM
'Aw, Mom, how can you be angry at us when we are so CUTE? A few busted ornaments???'
We're cats after all.
Great photos of the crew.
Naw, I can't stay mad at them for more than a second. They're just too darn cute.
I came home from the midnight-Christmas service expecting to find the tree turned over, but it was still upright and all was right in the world.

idfc bank capital first: IDFC Bank, Capital First to merge; Vaidyanathan to lead merged entity - Times of India
| TNN | Updated: Jan 15, 2018, 09:33 IST
IDFC Bank, Capital First annou...
MUMBAI: The boards of IDFC Bank and Capital First on Saturday agreed to a merger which will result in V Vaidyanathan, currently chairman and md of Capital First, succeeding Rajiv Lall as md and ceo of the merged entity.
A joint statement said that the decision was in line with the bank’s strategy of "retailising" its business and with Capital First’s stated intention to convert to a universal bank. The boards also approved a share swap ratio of 139 shares of IDFC Bank for 10 shares of Capital First.
Rajiv Lall who led IDFC Group from 2005 to the present in various top positions will step into the role of non-executive chairman of the merged bank. He will replace Veena Mankar who will continue to remain on the board.
Going by the share prices at close on Friday, the merger ratio favours Capital First. According to closing prices the combined market capitalisation of the two entities is Rs 31,285 crore of which Rs23,019 (73.6 per cent) comes from IDFC Bank and Rs 8266 crore (26.4 per cent) is from Capital First. In terms of the swap ratio, Capital First’s 9.89 crore shares will fetch 137 crore shares of IDFC Bank. That is 28.7 per cent of the combined expanded equity of 477.72 crore shares. Original shareholders of IDFC Bank will have the remaining 71.22 per cent equity.
Capital First brings with it a retail lending franchise with a loan book of Rs 22,974 crores (September 2017), a live customer base of three million customers; and a distribution network in 228 locations across the country growing at a five-year compounded annual growth rate of 27 per cent on assets under management and 40 per cent in profits, with gross and net NPA at 1.63 per cent and 1.0 per cent respectively.

US 6071093 AAbstract
1. A blood pump comprisinga pump with a rotor, the rotor including a fluid-engaging surface for pumping blood as the rotor rotates, a housing for enclosing the rotor, said housing having an inlet and an outlet, for entry of blood to a compartment in said housing occupied by said rotor, and for ejection of blood by said rotor, respectively, a suspension system suspending the rotor in non-contact gap-defining relation with said housing without direct mechanical support between the said rotor and said housing, the suspension system including a permanent magnet spindle mounted on the rotor coaxial with a corresponding cylindrical permanent magnet carried by the housing such that the rotor rotates about a rotation axis without contact between the spindle and the cylindrical magnet, the rotor further including a plurality of permanent magnets having poles disposed circumferentially about said rotor, said permanent magnet spindle and said corresponding cylindrical magnet carried by the housing passively maintaining radial centering between the rotor and housing under varying applied loads, said rotor being shaped with a counter-flow path defined between inlet and outlet regions of said housing to define a pressure distribution on opposed surfaces of the rotor that changes as the rotor is displaced and provides a hydrostatic stabilizing force on surfaces of the rotor, and a driver having a plurality of drive coils aligned for imparting rotational torque to said plurality of permanent magnets to rotate said rotor at a desired speed. 2. A blood pump according to claim 1, wherein axial displacement of the rotor in the housing alters flow and changes the pressure distribution to passively and hydraulically induce an axial movement of the rotor counteracting the displacement.

Get Creative with Writing: Grabbing Your Reader's Attention--With a Bang
Grabbing Your Reader's Attention--With a Bang
According to Les Edgerton, many good and even brilliant stories never get read past the first paragraph, or perhaps first page, because of a poor beginning.
If the first part of a story does not "grab" the reader and cause him to want to read more, the author has failed no matter how wonderful the rest of the story may be. Begin with a vivid scene.
The opening of a story should successfully set the stage for the reader, "hook" the reader, create with words the desire in the reader to want to read more.
At the start, the problem should be introduced. That means the problem is an event that changes the protagonist's world in some way, and the problem may not always mean trouble.The reader may not realize that what happens at the beginning is even a problem, only that it triggers a desire to know more.
For example, if Johnny is a character in a children's story (yes, writing for children follows the same guidelines and contains the same needs as any good work) and has never walked to school by himself before, only with an adult by himself, he starts his first walk with excitement and trepidation. If the author writes:
Johnny had never walked to school by himself before. His mother or grandmother had always walked with him. This example "tells" the situation, but it does not "show" the story.
So, let's try showing and creating a "hook."
Johnny opened the door a crack. As he peeked out, he thought, Everything looks the same. He swallowed and opened the door farther. He stuck his head completely outside and searched the walk leading from the porch.
"Johnny," his mother said from behind him, "do you need me to walk to school with you again today?"
Johnny glanced over his shoulder. "Momma, I'm big enough to walk by myself." He picked up his back pack and marched out the door. "I'm five years old now."
Dialogue in the first few paragraphs helps catch a reader's attention and helps the reader to "see" what is happening. Melissa Stewart says, "Put dialogue to work." A good way to engage the reader immediately is to have captivating dialogue.
Excessive narration, expository, or text causes the flow of the story to stop anywhere, but when needless narration begins the story, the reader loses interest immediately.
Grab his attention by using a vivid scene; "show" the reader what is happening; hook his interest immediately; and start your story with a bang.

Slightly scattergun approach to radish planting effected by child making run for front drive
We've had nearly two whole weeks of sun tan weather here, what a difference it makes to our life at home. Our garden has been fairly neglected since we moved in, but after knocking down a dilapidated shed, moving MANY barrowfuls of pebbles, digging up lots of old paving slabs, a full carpet, miles of plastic sheeting (maybe an exaggeration) and making do with only plastic troughs for our (eventually drowned) home grown food last year, this summer we are on track for a much improved outdoor space.
We're not there yet, as the mound of pebbles where the shed used to be will tell you, but since last Friday we've been eating from our garden with the first few crops of radish. Next job is making the shed we're keeping a bit less friendly to woodlice and wasps, replacing its roof and if I can convince the husband, painting it in some pretentious National Trust colour. I want sage green with beige accents but I'm fairly certain I'll be getting Creosote and told to like it. Hey ho.
So only the radish came from the garden, and the child only ate a babybel and some ham but it's a start

Happening right now on the Posie Gets Cozy blog. A visual feast, if you like rain and lush green trees, interesting buildings and well-used solid wooden tables. And knitting. There's always lots of knitting.
I'm in love with this website, LagomDesign.co.uk
I want ALL the cards. Sigh. At just £1.20 each, I think I can indulge myself a little.

I was lucky enough to be featured as an entrepreneur of the month for my business school alumni newsletter, over at Mountbatten.org If you know any recent graduates who'd like the opportunity of a lifetime to get excellent business experience and a qualification taught by some of the world's best academics, I strongly suggest you send them over to the website. I think everyone who does the Mountbatten Programme is an overachiever by nature, but let's just say that I know a fair few people who are doing spectacularly well for themselves as a result of it, so it's a great investment. I was lucky enough to have two placements as part of my course, one in HR at the North American HQ of a well-known international shipping company, and one with a well-known European couture house. My research project was about setting up a virtual PA agency called MoreLife - in 1999 - I was so ahead of my time! We decided that the PAs would get around Manhattan on scooters and wear special embroidered polo shirts. We actually had a proper business model in there somewhere, too - I still have a bound copy of my dissertation to prove it!
I also had some amazing volunteer opportunities while I was working abroad - taking shelter in WTC1 during a sponsored walk that turned into a blizzard was a great experience, being a marshal at the NY marathon, meeting Hillary Clinton during a women in business breakfast event and having to tell her I was an intern, at the height of the Monica Lewinsky thing, not such fun times, but my excellent communication and diplomacy skills got me out of that one.
Back at Girlindustries HQ, I've been doing a lot of destashing of supplies and thinking about which products to discontinue. After temporarily closing my books for orders of bespoke envelopes, I've decided to discontinue the stock I have of pre-made envelopes, and you can find the bargains in my shop by searching for sale envelopes. I will bring back the option to buy custom-made envelopes, but they are taking a little seat on the bench for the next couple of months while I focus on tags and stickers, which are doing ever so well right now. My craft room is very much in the 'worse before it gets better' zone right now, so no photos, sorry!
I've also been doing a bit of Etsy shopping so more on that in the next couple of days, while I take advantage of the good light for photos!

All my hard copy zines are reduced to half price - including subscription packs. You could buy the whole series for $15 plus shipping - bargainous! All digital zines are still $1, and my job for today is to make them instantly downloadable, using Etsy's new instant download feature.
***ETA NY Zine is fully downloadable, but as you can only add 5 files to any one listings, AOAP digital zines will have a turnaround of 12-24 hours following purchase***

Posted by Paul Gilbert at 10:17 pm
The 19th is Thursday. I know that not because it is the release date of this new Ubuntu thing but because it is the date of my partial differential equation final exam. I simply have to pass this exam and I have my degree. 5 years of university and it is coming down to one final exam that I have to pass. It's kind of scary. So have fun downloading your new Ubuntu and think about me while you are downloading.

That is adorable with the umbrella over the plants. I love it!
And we have not had enough in central Canada. Want to share? We are very afraid we'll have monstrous forest fires in the north this year.
Sun is playing with the clouds here, too! But some drops of rain was just what we got! These drops were enough to make our car so dirty that it seemed like we had a race in Sahara desert!LOL!

The Enlightenment Underground: ReKantstruction
Immanuel Kant may have had an "uneventful" life, but he certainly did not "renounce" the pleasures of it, Yusef. It is true that his servant woke him up every day at 5 o'clock with the same words "Es ist Zeit!" But after having finished his morning studies and later his lectures, he enjoyed a hearty lunch with wine and friends before taking his walk and nap.
"In his early years Kant spent almost every midday and evening outside his house in social activities, frequently taking part also in a card party and only getting home around midnight. If he was not busy at meals, he ate in the inn at a table sought out by a number of cultured people." Kant gave himself to this mode of life in such an easy and relaxed way that even the most meticulous psychological observer among his intimates was occasionally puzzled about him; in 1764 Johann Georg Hamann says that Kant carries in his head a host of greater and lesser works, which he however probably will never finish in the "whirl of social distraction" in which he is now tossed. (Kant's Life and Thought, translated by James Haden, Yale University Press, 1981).
And his students adored him. Here's one of them, Johann Gottfried Herder:
"I have enjoyed the good fortune to know a philosopher, who was my teacher. In the prime of life he had the happy cheerfulness of a youth, which, so I believe, accompanied him even in grey old age. His forehead, formed for thinking, was the seat of indestructible serenity and peace, the most thought-filled speech flowed from his lips, merriment and wit and humor were at his command, and his lecturing was discourse at its most entertaining.
In precisely the spirit with which he examined Leibniz, Wolff, Baumgarten, and Hume and perused the natural laws of the physicists Kepler and Newton, he took up those works of Rousseau which were then appearing, Émile and Héloïse, just as he did every natural discovery known to him, evaluated them and always came back to unprejudiced knowledge of Nature and the moral worth of mankind. The history of nations and peoples, natural science, mathematics, and experience, were the sources from which he enlivened his lecture and converse; nothing worth knowing was indifferent to him; no cabal, no sect, no prejudice, no ambition for fame had the least seductiveness for him in comparison with furthering and elucidating truth.
He encouraged and engagingly fostered thinking for oneself; despotism was foreign to his mind. This man, whom I name with the utmost thankfulness, and respect, was Immanuel Kant; his image stands before me to my delight. (Johann Gottfried Herder, Letters on the Advancement of Humanity)

Margaret | SFB - StoneFawx Beauty
Tag Archives: Margaret	24May2014	Julep – a nail polish subscription	Posted in Beauty, Nails	by StoneFawx	I recently signed up for Julep Maven Nail Polish box and received my (FREE! – code is FREEBOX) Welcome Box this morning. If you’re not familiar with Julep, they are a nail polish subscription service, similar to that of a Birchbox or Ipsy however they focus on nail products. It is $24.99/mo, unless you pay in advance and you get a slight discount. You can choose to get other body care products in the box like cuticle oils, blushes and lip glosses as they also have an entire line of beauty products outside their trademark nail polish line. Personally, I’ve never tried any Julep products but have been interested in their polishes for some time so I bought a few more than just the three in the welcome box.

Queensized bed,large room, terrace – Kiadó Ház Kaikohe területén, Northland, Új-Zéland
Queensize bed in 11.5 sqm room w/ built-in wardrobe. Huge house on small farm.. 10min drive to hot pools,
bedlinen n towels
If you require more comfort & amenity try my executive room/$80 p/n.
Notre séjour chez Jude a dépassé nos attentes ! Nous avons été très bien accueillis, avec des petites attentions comme quelques fruits du jardin cueillis pour nous. Le matelas était vraiment très confortable et si nous avions eu plus de temps c'est avec grand plaisir que nous ser…
Keurige kamer met zeer ruime badkamer. We harden het geluk dat de andere kamer niet verhuurd was waardoor we de badkamer voor onszelf hadden. Overal goed Wi-Fi ontvangst, zeer snelle verbinding.
Take Jude's advice and visit the hot springs , a must for weary travellers. Peaceful location ensures a good night's sleep.
enjoy the fresh fruit , pick it directly off the trees, just outside your room, in the adjacent orchard.
We needed to relocate ourselves due to a tropical storm and found the place value for money. The location is a bit far from bay of islands attractions (e.g Paihia 35min drive) but for a short stay it was fine. Limited private space but large communal area.
At very short notice I offered a room , had 2 other guests at same time, Room Laura had is large, has large table and 2 chairs, Outside under canopy is another large table with 2 chairs, They shared the bathroom with me the host, as other guests had private ensuite. Suggest they stay at Sheraton next time if they want more private space.
Jude was an interesting, caring, responsive and very respectful host. The room and house were clean, spacious with all necessary amenities to feel like home. It was very easy to prepare a meal using the kitchen. Everything was set up to make us feel comfortable. Camomille flowers…
Camelia flowers, White, very sweet, and of a strong perfume.
1. Great host. Very friendly and helpful 2. Great place to stay. Very tidy and clean. Comparable to 5 star motel. 3. Nice and cool place. Central, close to town centre, yet quiet and relaxing because it surrounded by trees and there’s a stream behind the house. 4. Spacious house,…
If you've business or extended pleasure in or around central Northland, Kaikohe IS the HUB of the North. 20 minutes from Bay of Islands airport, just south of Lake Omapere, and midway between east and west coasts.
Jude stayed Home waiting for me arriving with the bicycle before going to the thermal pool , thanks for that. He very generously offered me avocados, peaches and plums from his own garden. Great ingredients for my packed lunch next day.
Kaikohe, Új-Zéland · Csatlakozás időpontja: 2014. január
