A lot of people think they will go to heaven because they are a good person, much better than many others. And they are good, but we are not to compare ourselves to others to determine if we qualify for Heaven. But, have we done what God has commanded.
The question that should be asked is not, "Am I good?" but, "Am I good enough to go to Heaven?" The way to find out is to ask yourself, "Have I obeyed the Ten Commandments--all of them, completely?" Most people will say, "I might have broken one or two but nothing serious like murder." In the Bible, James 2:10 says, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." Also, in Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." There are saved sinners and lost sinners. God's grace and Jesus' death will cover our sins, if we will ask Him to forgive us, to live in our hearts, and turn from our sins (with the daily help of our Lord).
The Bible says we are all sinners, but if you still think you are good enough to go to Heaven, let's look at the 10 Commandments.
The Bible says:
Commandment #1 Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Have you ever failed to put the Lord Jesus first in your life? Many put their lifestyle, career, other people, money, or fun as more important than Jesus. Are you innocent or guilty?
Commandment #2 Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Who is God to you? Is He only a God of love and mercy and would never judge and never cast anyone into hell? If that's your god then you're right. Your god couldn't cast anyone into hell because your god doesn't exist. You have created a god in your own mind that you are more comfortable with. You may call it your "personal belief" but God calls it idolatry. It's the oldest sin in the book and God warns that idolaters will not inherit the kingdom of Heaven. Are you innocent or guilty?
Commandment #3 Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Have you ever taken the Lord's name and used it as a curse word? If you have then you have taken the Holy name of God--the one who gave you life, your family and everything precious to you--and used it as a filthy, four-letter curse word. Hitler's name wasn't despised enough to be used as a curse word. If you have used the Lord's name in this manner then the Bible says that you are blasphemer. Innocent or guilty?
Commandment #4 Exodus 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: The Bible tells us Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
The Lord commands us to give Him this day. Do you spend your Sunday for Christ or for someone else, perhaps yourself. Innocent?
Commandment #5 Exodus 20:12 ¶ Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Ask the Lord to help you remember, have you ever disobeyed or had a disrespectful thing to say about your parents? Innocent or guilty?
Commandment #6 Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
Many will say I have never killed anybody. But notice what the Bible says in Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. and also in 1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
The Lord sees hatred in the heart to be as wicked as murder. Innocent?
Commandment #7 Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Have you ever looked upon another person with lust in your heart. Notice what Jesus said in Matthew 5:28, "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Are you innocent or guilty?
Commandment #8 Exodus 20:15 Thou shalt not steal.
Think back real hard, have you ever taken anything from a friend, at the office, or at the store, that wasn't your own? Innocent or guilty?
Commandment #9 Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Have you ever told a lie? the Bible says in Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Innocent?
Commandment #10 Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Have you ever deeply craved and desired something that belonged to another person? Their house, car, money, family, fame, good looks, lifestyle, etc. This is coveting.
Who of us can say that we are not guilty of breaking these commandments. This is what the Bible means when He says in Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
So, are you guilty of breaking any of these commandments? If so, then you have sinned against a Holy God. If this concerns you, consider these truths:
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Simply pray and confess that you're a sinner who wants to repent (to turn away from your sin) and ask the Lord to take you to Heaven when you die. Then read the Bible and talk to God every day (prayer is just talking to God like you would any other friend).
of salvation that God provides to wash away our sins through the blood and death of His perfect son Jesus Christ on the cross for us is the best thing anyone could ever do!

Kyle Schwarber Had Another Huge Game for Iowa, Ripped a Homer (VIDEO)
Surprise of the day: Kyle Schwarber had another huge game for the Iowa Cubs yesterday. He went 3-5 with two doubles and a homer, raising his season line at Iowa to .358/.414/.642. It's been only 15 games, so the sample size is obviously quite small. But Schwarber keeps doing what he does.
His day included this shot to center off of a lefty:
Based on the midseason rankings updates that are coming out, it's safe to say that Schwarber is now a consensus top ten prospect in all of baseball – just one year after pundits were questioning whether he was worth the Cubs' number four pick in last year's draft.
Schwarber continues to get schooling behind the plate, and, the presumption remains that he'll see more time with the big league team before the season is through.

Merciful Kate Mulgrew Hangs With Frank-N-Furter
Kate Mulgrew, one of our favorite captains, is joining the cast of the new NBC series 'Mercy'. Mulgrew will play Jeannie Flanagan, the mother of the show's lead, Veronica (Taylor Schilling).
Also in Kate Mulgrew news, she will be lending her voice to the new upcoming Bioware roleplaying game "Dragon Age: Origins". Also lending their voice to the game, is another fave of ours, Tim Curry (Frank-N-Furter, Rocky Horror Picture Show).
More about 'Mercy':
Mercy is a brand new Medical drama From executive producers/writers Liz Heldens (Friday Night Lights), Gretchen Berg & Aaron Harberts (Pushing Daisies), executive producers Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun, and Emmy Award-winning director Adam Bernstein (30 Rock, Rescue Me).
Mercy is set to focus on three nurses, Veronica, Sonia, and Chloe. Just from looking at the three of them, you can tell that this series will be more like Hawthorne than Nurse Jackie. They're all very clean cut, and look like they'll be advocates rather than adulterers.
The three main cast members are Taylor Schilling as Veronica Callahan, a nurse who has just returned from a tour of duty in Iraq; Michelle Trachtenberg as rookie nurse Chloe Payne; and Jamie Lee Kirchner as Sonia Jimenez. (source TVovermind.com)
More About Dragon Age: Origins:
Dragon Age: Origins is set to tell a complex story focused around a Grey Warden who must defeat a long-lasting evil, which threatens the land. The game will be blending high and low fantasy concepts, so expect soaring scores and good versus evil fights but also scheming, betrayal and a lot of mature content. The title is set to arrive on November 3 in North America and three days later in Europe. (source Softpedia.com)

Sacroiliac Joint Pain
(Joint Pain, Sacroiliac)
The sacroiliac joint is in the low back where the spine meets the pelvis. Sacroiliac joint pain is discomfort in this area. This pain is a symptom that may come from a number of conditions or diseases.
Sacroiliac Joint
Doctors may be unsure if the pain starts in the joint or in its surrounding ligaments. Ligaments are bands of tissue that connect one bone to another bone. It is also difficult to tell if the pain is coming from the sacroiliac joint or the small joints in the lower spine. These smaller joints are called facet joints.
The sacroiliac joint has many nerve endings. The nerves send pain signals to the brain. Pain in this region may be caused by many factors:
- Twisting, bending, or moving in a way that triggers sacroiliac joint pain
- Infection of the joint
- Osteoarthritis]]> of the joint (more common in older adults)
- ]]>Trauma]]> , such as auto accidents
- ]]>Stress fractures]]> in athletes
- Inflammation of the joint, such as with ]]>ankylosing spondylitis]]>
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance for sacroiliac joint pain include:
- Poor posture
- Weak muscles
- Bending or twisting the back
- Improper lifting
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Psoriatic arthritis]]>
Symptoms include:
- Mild to severe low back pain
- Pain in the buttocks
- Pain that seems deep in the pelvis
- Pain in the hip or groin or back of the thigh
- Pain that radiates down the leg on the affected side
- Stiffness of the lower spine
Certain activities may increase the pain, including:
- Walking
- Twisting
- Bending
- Stooping
- Rolling over in bed
- Getting up from a chair
- Climbing the stairs
- Coughing
- Sneezing
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Finding the source of sacroiliac joint pain is often difficult. Tests depend on your medical history and the suspected cause.
Tests may include:
- X-rays]]> of the pelvis and lower back
- ]]>Bone scan]]> —injection of radioactive material into the body, followed by scanning with a machine that will find areas with higher concentrations of the injected material (these are areas of abnormal bone activity)
- ]]>CT scan]]> —a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of the inside of the pelvis and sacroiliac joint
- ]]>MRI scan]]> —a test that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to make pictures of the sacroiliac joints and the ligaments
- ]]>Biopsy]]> or aspiration—removal of a sample of tissue from the joint for testing
- Joint injections or nerve blocks—injection of a drug that blocks nerve signals into the joint to determine if the pain starts in the joint
Treatment depends on the cause of the pain. Any underlying condition would receive treatment specific for that disease. For stress fractures, doctors recommend limited weight-bearing. Regardless of the cause, short-term rest is often advised.
Other treatment may include:
Your doctor may recommend or prescribe any of the following:
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as:
- Pain medication— ]]>acetaminophen]]> (Tylenol)
- Steroid injections into the sacroiliac joint
- Antibiotics for infected joints
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy may include:
- Exercises to stretch the muscles of the lower back
- Exercises to strengthen the muscles which support the area
- Exercises to affect the motion of the sacroiliac joint
- Applying ice to the painful area
- Applying deep heat to the sore area
Back Care
Prevent stress to the painful area with the following:
- Proper bending
- Proper lifting
- No twisting of the body

Walkie talkie devices are a great way to communicate over short distances. Traditional options use hand-held devices, but this doesn't meet everyone's needs. Instead, why not try a walkie talkie headset? TwoWay Radio offers a range of products, helping you to get the most out of this useful technology. So, let's explore the benefits these items can offer you!
Is A Walkie Talkie Headset?
These products are, as you might imagine, headsets designed to work with walkie talking technology. These headsets can be combined with compatible products, allowing users to talk directly through the attached microphone – and listen through the built-in speaker – rather than the original device.
How Does It Differ From Other Headsets?
Not all headsets can be used on a walkie talkie. This is because normal headsets simply transfer sound from the source through to the speakers. These devices, on the other hand, need to enable two way communication. A Motorola Head Set, for example, is designed to be compatible with various Motorola devices.
This requires adding a few more features. Most of these headsets feature a PTT (push-to-talk) button that can be easily accessed. This allows a user to always be listening and, when they want to transmit something back, they can just push the button to activate their recording apparatus.
What Are The Benefits Of A Headset?
The biggest benefit to a headset is that allows for hands-free operating when compared to a regular device. This is because a typical device still requires you to hold it when listening to another person, waiting for your turn to activate the PTT button and respond (you can check out the Cobra Head Set for a product with such a feature). With a headset, you only need to do this when you want to talk: the rest of the time, you can carry on with your tasks and duties.
Furthermore, these headsets, which go over the head, are more comfortable than an earpiece, which would sit inside the ear. Additionally, these designs can enable you a clearer sound, due to a less interference from external background noise, something earphones have difficulty filtering.
Where Would You Use Such A Headset?
Walkie talkie with a headset is useful in many situations. It can be used in situations which require people to communicate regularly, often in noisy environments, while keeping their hands free. This could be used in security for example, or large warehouse operations.
The ability to block out background noise makes them useful for nightclubs and live music events, where security and department heads can communicate without needing to talk face to face or shout over the various noises. Headsets allow these operations to occur peacefully, while allowing hosting staff and other employees to stay in constant communication.
Whatever your needs, if you're looking for walkie talkie headset options, Two Way Radio has a wide range of products to choose from. This includes many leading brands, ensuring compatible options for the most popular two-way radio solutions.

Get into the Holiday Spirit at Newport
Decking the halls with boughs of holly is not such an easy task in Newport, Rhode Island. Their opulent estates are each a city block long. The historic seaport gets into the Holiday spirit with a month-long citywide celebration simply called Christmas in Newport. The long list of activities includes Victorian dinners at the Astors' Beechwood Mansion, tours of the rarely visited estate of Doris Duke, and lantern walks over the twisting cobblestone streets.

By Jack Davis / Western Journalism
Karrien Stevens, who runs the Little Diamonds preschool in the Hermon Hill area of London, said a member of her staff was walking to work when she was stabbed by three females who chanted about Allah.
After the incident was reported, local parents received emails stating that schools were on "lockdown."
The woman, who did not suffer life-threatening injuries, was rescued when a man interrupted the attack and escorted the injured woman to the preschool.
"We were called at 9:36 a.m. to reports of a stabbing in Hermon Hill," a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said.
"Officers responding to the scene discovered a woman in her 30s who had suffered slash wounds. Her injuries are not life threatening but she has been taken to hospital as a precaution," the spokeswoman said.
Police said that before being taken to the hospital, the victim was driven around the scene of the attack to see if she could spot her attackers.
"The three suspects fled the scene before police officers arrived and they are still not accounted for," the spokeswoman said.
"We couldn't believe it and called the police straight away," Stevens said. "It's terrible. I'm absolutely horrified. You don't expect something like this to happen on your doorstep."
"What is going on at the moment out there? It's ridiculous. I don't know what these people were hoping to achieve," she added.
A Redbridge Council spokeswoman said schools were alerted.
"We informed schools and early-years providers of this incident and advised them to take precautions to keep children safe until we could clarify the situation. We have now given them updated information and advice," she said.
Although the Counter Terrorism Command of the Metropolitan Police was informed of the incident, it was reportedly not being treated as a terrorism case.

The signs are too much to ignore now, P-Square seems to have broken up with the brothers pursuing solo paths
Whoever thought this day would come, despite all the controversies in the past and how super-star pop duo P-Square have managed to survive and still continued to entertain us with good music and performances. *Sad Face*.
Just few days after Paul of P-Square released that emotional piece of music – 'Call Heaven', which purports to talk about their apparent break up, Peter his brother have also decided to make it quite obvious by having his own personal management team and new management contact as he prepares to start a solo career.
Infact Peter was seen in the the studio with Selebobo a few days ago also, in what looked like a song in the making (without his brother in the background of course). He also posted his new management contact details on his Instagram, tagging himself as "Mr. P", while thanking his fans for their patience and prayers during the trying time. Peter (Alone) is also gearing up to perform live on stage at the KIZA DIFC VVIP event which will be holding in Dubai come April.
While all these evidence points to the fact that our beloved continental Mega-Super Stars are no more together, they are mere speculations at this point, as we are still yet to get an official affirmative press statement from what remains of Square Records. Whatever the case may be, we surely wish both of them very well with their careers moving forward.

As per the latest version of the programme, Microsoft will aim to connect mature startups with corporates, who will get access to innovative solutions for their business needs while providing greater market access for the startups.
Microsoft India chairman Bhaskar Pramanik said the CoInnovate programme has three initiatives, which include providing market access under which the company will help in connecting corporates with startups.
"What we have realised from our experience is that getting customers is very important for the startups."
Another aspect of the programme is where corporates nominate startups they want to work with, so that they can be accelerated at Microsoft Ventures in order to speed up their business potential.
"While Citi India has partnered for this aspect, Microsoft is having discussions with several other companies such as Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank for similar partnerships," he said.
Microsoft has an association with Reliance Industries, under whh the two companies jointly run the GenNext Innovation Hub, a startup accelerator programme.
While Patni will be seeking market access through this initiative, Kyron has partnered for the third aspect of the CoInnovate programme where Microsoft will assist organisations to set up their own accelerator or incubators.
Ravi Narayan, director at Microsoft Ventures in India, said: "During the last few years in India, we identified that market access remains one of the biggest stumbling blocks for startups, while corporates and governments often struggle to identify the right business partner. CoInnovate is the bridge that can connect the two..."

2 Samuel 11
David and Bathsheba
11 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king's men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in
. Jerusalem
2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, 3 and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, "She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite." 4 Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her monthly uncleanness.) Then she went back home. 5 The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, "I am pregnant."
6 So David sent this word to Joab: "Send me Uriah the Hittite." And Joab sent him to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the soldiers were and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house and wash your feet." So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king was sent after him. 9 But Uriah slept at the entrance to the palace with all his master's servants and did not go down to his house.
10 David was told, "Uriah did not go home." So he asked Uriah, "Haven't you just come from a military campaign? Why didn't you go home?"
11 Uriah said to David, "The ark and
and Israel are
staying in tents,[a] and my
commander Joab and my lord's men are camped in the open country. How could I go
to my house to eat and drink and make love to my
wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!" Judah
12 Then David said to him, "Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will send you back." So Uriah remained in
day and the next. 13 At David's invitation, he ate and
drank with him, and David made him drunk. But in the evening Uriah went out to
sleep on his mat among his master's servants; he did not go home. Jerusalem
14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 In it he wrote, "Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die. "
Every few years there is some sort of celebrity or famous preacher that ends up in some sort of sex scandal. We have come to expect it. You might remember the news around the relationship between American president Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski. These news stories almost don't even surprise us anymore. The story we read in 2 Samuel today has been re-lived many times throughout history. A powerful man is involved in some sort of sexual misconduct. The newspapers in the grocery store eat it up. I can almost see the front page. There's some grainy picture of King David. His hair is messy, and he has an awkward look on his face. And, it looks like the picture was taken from the bushes behind his palace and they caught David looking out his window.
And we love the pictures. We love the scandals. We can feel very righteous- "can you believe it?" "What a stupid thing to do!" We love the gossip. I think this is part of the reason we love reality shows. We love to sit and watch someone else do silly things and then talk about how silly they are. It feels better to pick the sliver out of a celebrity's eye than to deal with the log in our own.
We sometimes are shocked to find these same scandals in the Bible. Even more shocking is that David is not really one of the bad guys in the Bible. He's one of the good guys. I said last week that David is not a perfect moral example for us to imitate. David is more like a mirror. He reflects us. He shows us a very human life. He shows us the life of someone who is reaching out to God- and that's who we are. We are living trying to follow God. Sometimes we seem like we're doing a good job, but sometimes we fall flat on our faces. This week David fell flat on his face. The story between David and Bathsheba is a powerful story about how sin works.
David's armies have gone off to fight, which is what you did in Spring at that time and in that culture. But, David has now proven himself and so he is able to stay behind. From the roof of his palace David sees a beautiful woman bathing. I guess they had a rooftop culture we know nothing about. He asks about her and finds out that she is a married woman. She is the wife of Uriah, who is one of David's soldiers. He sent for her and he slept with her. He's the king and I can't imagine Bathsheba felt she had much say in the matter.
David didn't feel like a sinner at this point. The pastor and writer Eugene Peterson points this out.[1] No one ever really feels like a sinner when they are sinning. That's the sneaky thing about sin. When we are sinning we feel powerful- like a god. When David sent for Bathsheba he didn't feel like a sinner. He felt like a lover. Sin is sneaky. We think it will make our lives better, or more exciting, but really it leads to destruction and chaos in the end, if not sooner.
We see this in Genesis ch 3 as well. Adam and Eve didn't feel like sinners when they ate the forbidden fruit. They felt like gods. The serpent said that when they eat the fruit their eyes will be opened and they will "be like God, knowing good and bad". Basically they will be able to decide for themselves what is right and wrong. They felt like gods over their own lives. They saw that the fruit looked good to eat and that it was desirable for gaining a kind of knowledge. We never really feel like we're doing something wrong when we sin, we feel like we are doing something good, or exciting, or something that will make our lives better.
Sooner or later we have to deal with the consequences of our decisions. David quickly learns that Bathsheba is pregnant. David's first instinct, like ours, is to cover up the sin so no one finds out. It is hard to face our sin. It's hard to look people in the face when they know you've done something horrible. It's just easier to cover it up so no one finds out.
David suddenly has to scramble to cover up his sin, so he comes up with a plan. He calls Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, back home to give a report from the front lines. When Uriah has given his report David tells him to go home and enjoy the company of his wife. "Wash your feet" is sort of a Hebrew phrase that we might translate with an eyebrow wiggle and a nudge of the elbow. David hopes that if he goes home and sleeps with Bathsheba then Uriah will think the child is his and the sin will never be discovered.
Uriah leaves the palace, but rather than go home to sleep with his wife, he sleeps at the entrance to David's palace. Uriah is a model of honour and faithfulness. He will not go home and sleep with his wife when he knows the army and the Ark of the Covenant are out in the field in tents. Out of solidarity with his fellow soldiers Uriah decides to not go home. It is a beautiful act. Uriah remembers the soldiers in the field and so denies himself. Contrast Uriah with David, who is willing to stay in the palace and sleep with a soldier's wife while the army is away fighting battles. David's faithlessness is contrasted with Uriah's faithfulness.
Instead of David being moved by Uriah's honour, he becomes frustrated. David asks him to stay another day and this time he gets Uriah drunk. David is hoping that a little liquor will loosen Uriah's libido- so he'll go home to his wife. Again, even when drunk, Uriah has more honour and self control than King David.
David is frustrated. Now he has to go to extremes to hide his sin. Often hiding a sin requires another sin. David sends a command to Joab, Uriah's commander. He tells Joab to put Uriah in the front lines where it is most dangerous and then have everyone pull back from the front line leaving Uriah alone with the enemy.
It is sneaky. David again is playing God. He feels like a king and a general here, not a sinner. David isn't plunging a knife into Uriah's chest- someone else is. It's not technically wrong to command such a thing. A king and a general can command troops to go where they want and sometimes they die. That is part of the job description for a soldier. David doesn't feel like a sinner here. We don't feel like sinners when we're sinning. But the heart of what David did was murder. He can dress it up, but it was murder. His action with Bathsheba was adultery as best- Rape at worst. It wasn't a romantic love affair. His action with Uriah was murder. It wasn't a king fighting a battle.
Sin often leads to more sin. Adultery in David's case led to deception and murder. Bathsheba, and Joab would both now have a new understanding of God's anointed king. That has an effect on relationships. Would you feel safe knowing your king was capable of such things? Sin is like a disease. It spreads and infects others- even if it only causes people to be suspicious of each other and their leaders. And the more we try to hide it the more it digs in. That's why Jesus came calling us to repentance. In repentance we stop pretending that our sin is something else. In repentance we stop pretending we are gods. We stop pretending that we are lovers and admit we are adulterers. We stop pretending we are kings and we admit that we are manipulators and users, and murderers. Repentance is what stops the sins that we use to cover up other sin. In repentance we limit the destructiveness of our sin. In repentance we face our responsibility.
Repentance also calls us deeper. In repentance we recognize that adultery, and murder are really just symptoms of a disease that sits deeper in our hearts. It's not just "goofing up". It's an expression of our hearts. Part of us doesn't trust God. We might think God maybe doesn't really love us, so we look for love in another person's spouse. God won't protect us, so we murder to protect our own interest. The actions we call "sins" have deeper roots in our hearts. Part of us might suspect that God is not actually good and so we take steps to protect ourselves.
David's sins of murder and adultery might have their roots in either a misunderstanding of who God is, or maybe even a forgetting about God. In David's day to day life God has perhaps moved from the front and centre to "Sunday mornings" only. David operates under the power of his own cleverness. Essentially he's living without an awareness of God. David thinks he's beaten the system. David thinks he won't have to face what he's done. He thinks he's gotten away with it. And we can for a while- a short while or a long while. We can get away with it for a while. We can cover our sin. But we'll find out next week that David hasn't really gotten away with anything. David at the very root of the whole episode with Bathsheba and Uriah has forgotten about God. David has acted as if he was God- master over people's lives- even master over life and death. David will be reminded as we all need reminding, that God is with us. David May have forgotten about God, but God hasn't forgotten about David.
God is like a loving parent watching over us. Sometimes parents need to correct their children. Sometimes they need a timeout, or need to say sorry, or need to have a serious talking to so they know the seriousness of playing in the road. It is love. It doesn't always feel like love, but it is. A God who doesn't care wouldn't care if you were playing in the road, or if you hurt someone, or if you were becoming a cruel person. It is a loving God who cares who we are becoming and on what path we are walking.
We don't always like to look at this aspect of our spiritual lives. We don't want to look at sin. It doesn't feel nice. It feels gritty and uncomfortable. When we aren't feeling well we go to the doctor. The doctor will poke and prod a bit. They might ask us to take off parts of our clothing. They might place a cold stethoscope on our chest and ask us to breathe deeply, or cough. And then they might ask us about our lives. Do you smoke? How do you eat? Do you exercise? Then they might find the cause of our discomfort and they will describe a particular disease to us. It's not a comfortable process, but when we get down to understanding how it works then we can make changes by taking medicines or doing certain exercises. Then we will begin feeling better. We would like to jump over the uncomfortable part- David would have liked to- but that would be to lead a shallow life. We are called to lead lives of deep transformation, and that means honestly facing who we really are- the parts we like and the parts we don't. God doesn't shy away from our not so pretty parts. God sees us truly and loves us knowing all our deep dark secrets, but God also loves us too much to leave us as we are. God calls us, like he called David, to face our sin so we can lead a better life. Amen
Questions for reflecting on 2 Sam 11:
1. How do you feel when you hear that a respected Christian leader has committed a serious sin?
2. When was a time you had to deal with the consequences of a personal sin? Who was effected by it? How did it effect their lives?
3. How do you think this action entered into David's mind as an option? Was it an action that came out of the blue, or do you think this action is the fruit of a smaller series of temptations, thoughts, or sins? What might David have done to prevent this action?
4. Why do we want to cover up sin rather than confess it?

Now that we're heading into the warmer months — if it does actually decide to stay warm in NYC —pants are beginning to feel a bit too restricting. And, while dresses are great for those days that you don't even want to think about your outfit, there's something about separates that makes getting dressed that much more fun. Personally, I classify skirts into two categories: slink and flounce. And sure, there's a time and place for some slink, but I much prefer a flounce. Enter: the circle skirt.
Circle skirts are so easy to wear, universally flattering (I know — we hate that word, but they are!), and can actually be pretty bad-ass with a bit of strategic styling. The inherently prim shape pairs perfectly with crisp button-down shirts, sleeveless turtlenecks, cropped knits, cheeky T-shirts, and of course, leather jackets. Need a few suggestions in size curvy? Fret not: Click through for nine of my must-haves!

Intraspecific trait variation across continental scales
Numerous studies illustrate the importance of intraspecific variation in evolutionary processes and in promoting biodiversity, yet most theoretical research in community ecology focuses on species' mean trait values. Recently there have been calls for revitalizing ecological theory with an emphasis on intraspecific variation. Research in the lab addresses this knowledge gap by uncovering the relative importance of intraspecific trait variation in structuring continental-scale biodiversity patterns using organismal data from the National Ecological Observatory Network with funding from the NSF. We are also collecting range wide data on the intraspecific genetic variation of the purple pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea) and its inquiline foodweb with funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Process based range modeling
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are a primary tool used by ecologists to evaluate how species ranges might shift with climate change. One challenge to such correlative SDMs is that they ignore a great deal of biological realism (e.g., biotic interactions, demographic processes, genetic variation). Current research in the lab focuses on infusing greater biological realism into SDMs.
Remote sensing of biodiversity
With funding from NASA we are working to identify the next set of data products most useful to biodiversity scientists.
Evolutionary stable strategies of hemiparasitic plants
This project explores the optimal conditions for the establishment, growth, survival and reproduction of mistletoes. We currently have a field site established at the Imperial College of London's Silwood Park. Sydne is searching for good sites to study in the Philadelphia area. The field work is really fun and involves climbing in tree canopies!
Long term studies at Harvard Forest, Massachusetts and La Selva, Costa Rica
Sydne has several ongoing collaborations with researchers at Harvard Forest on long term data sets. Research topics include: pitcher plant population dynamics, impacts of the hemlock woolly adelgid on eastern forests, and ants. La Selva data consist of an unprecedented long term record of wet tropical forest seedling dynamics in which tagged individuals have been censused every 6 weeks for over a decade! For this project, we ask how Janzen-Connell effects, soil nutrients, climate, and irradiance influence species coexistence in the hyperdiverse forests of La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: create package privilige/grant ? What Command?
This looks like it needs a "What are you really trying to do?" response.
If you want your users to create their own procedures, functions, and packages then they need the "create procedure" system function as in "grant create procedure to <username>;". After that they'll need direct access to any tables that they will be creating procedures, functions, or packages against, which can get ugly but is doable. Otherwise it also sounds like your trying to get a central owner to create a procedure, function or package & have everyone run it. For that they need execute priviledges on the program as in "grant execute on <procedure, function, package>;".=20

Wrigley temporarily halted production of its new Alert Energy Caffeine Gum in response to concerns expressed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration over the impact of caffeine on children and adolescents.
The company said it had paused the production, sale and marketing of Alert to give the FDA time to develop a new regulatory framework for the addition of caffeine to food and drinks.
The recently launched gum has about 40 milligrams of caffeine, as much as a half a cup of coffee, in each piece.
"After discussions with the FDA, we have a greater appreciation for its concern about the proliferation of caffeine in the nation's food supply," Wrigley North America President Casey Keller said in a statement.
Keller said there was a need for change in the regulatory framework to "better guide" consumers and the industry about the appropriate use of caffeinated products.
The company previously said it marketed the gum as an energy product for adults aged 25 and older, and that it exceeded current regulatory requirements on labelling.
The FDA said last month that it was taking a "fresh look" at the issue in response to the launch of a caffeinated gum, and warned that it would take action "if necessary".
The FDA did not name Wrigley, owned by privately held Mars Inc, or the gum in its statement.
Wrigley is not the first company to market gum with energizing properties. Mondelez International Inc. sells a line of gums with ingredients such as ginseng, green tea and Vitamin C. Stride Spark sells gum that have Vitamins B6 and B12 added.

Features include a stabilized 16MP CMOS sensor, and a relatively fast F2.0-4.9 lens with 25-100mm equivalent zoom. This camera has versatile zoom lens accommodates a wide range of applications - from macro shooting of flowers to wide-angle shooting of spectacular landscapes.
The Optio WG-3 also equipped with image-sensor-shift-type Shake Reduction, a 3 inch 16:9 ratio LCD monitor with 460K dots, and six built-in LED macro lights. With anti-shake feature, then you can maximize the zoom lens on this camera.
The camera's Intelligent Zoom function also extends the zoom range to approximately 28.8 times to cover the focal length of an approximately 720mm super-telephoto lens to capture extra-high-magnification images without compromising image quality.
The Pentax WG-3 is the less expensive version of the Optio WG-3 GPS, and while it omits the wireless charging and GPS (obviously) features of its costlier cousin it still offers a strong feature set for an affordable price. This camera delivers reliably good image quality and decent video, making it attractive as a 'knockabout' camera or a tough compact for travelling and everyday use. Like many everything-proof cameras these days, the WG-3 features a rubbery grip and rugged design.
The Pentax Optio WG-3 has Sharp lens with Wide aperture and Short shutter lag plus Macro LED lighting and you can enjoy a very unique design. The WG-3 features a bold design that combines bright, metallic colors with a body style that's a bit wider than most compact cameras.
The WG-3 features Full HD movie recording, a 16 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor, a 4x optical zoom lens with 25mm wide-angle coverage and a maximum aperture of f/2. The newly designed optical zoom lens offers a maximum aperture of F2.0 to capture bright, clear images with minimal noise, even under dimly lit underwater conditions
The WG-3 is one of the more interestingly designed tough cameras on the market. Its lens is fast and sharp. The closest competitor of the Pentax Optio WG-3 is Olympus TG-2 and the Canon PowerShot D20. You can compare them before you decide to buy one of them. Due in February 2014 is still in the atmosphere of Chinese New Year, then you have a chance to get the special discounts, there is even a possibility to get additional accessories or a memory card in a larger capacity, for example, a 16GB memory card, so you can shoot more without dizziness due to runs out of memory.

I really don't do much research in the state of Missouri, although I wish I had more relatives to research because records are pretty accessible. In preparation of this post, I checked my database to see what families were associated with Missouri, and as I suspected, not many. However, I did find the family of my husband's great-grandaunt, Sarah Frances (Orendorff) Jonagan, who moved from Fulton County, Illinois, to Gentry County, Missouri, sometime between 1870 and 1880.
I knew there were actual vital records online, but I didn't know exactly what, where, or the time periods of coverage. It appeared from my research that I had previously exhausted everything on Ancestry, finding a few birth and marriage records. But where were the death records…I could have sworn they were online somewhere.
So off to my Diigo bookmarks for Missouri I went. I spotted a resource I had added back in 2010, Missouri Digital Heritage, and by the description I had added, I was pretty certain I would find the death records. And there they were, Missouri Death Certificates! Digital images of Missouri death certificates are currently available for 1910 to 1962.
A surname-only search produced a handful of death certificates related to the family. I love when records are online and accessible! Makes my research so much easier!!

A child with a doll demonstrates baby care in this sweet, decidedly purposeful outing.
"This is me," begins the stroller-pushing young narrator. "And this… / is my baby doll." On she goes to show bottle feeding, diaper changing (sans any visible sign of need for same), bathing and toweling dry, and then putting down in a rocking cradle. "Being a mommy is really hard work!" she concludes meaningfully, and so she promises to give her own mommy lots of help—with "our new baby!" Using a palette of, largely, pale pinks and blues, Dodd crafts big, simply drawn illustrations of the cheery tot with her doll (both Caucasian). They are enhanced by glued-in swatches of soft cloth representing towel and diaper, plus pull tabs that lower a stroller's hood, empty a milk bottle and float a rubber ducky across the tub. A climactic double-flap doorway reveals mommy with both baby and new big sister on her lap.
Pushing actual child care duties off on preschoolers is a nonstarter, but this may help prepare younger prospective sibs for family changes. (Pop-up/picture book. 3-4)

*sigh* what a way to start my day...miriam makeba and the soweto gospel choir!
I saw 'Biko' when I was a little kid with my parents in the movie theater. (that's what I watched instead of Disney!) I didn't understand everything that was going on in the movie, but it touched my deeply. I remember sitting in the car on the way to school singing 'Biko' with my dad.

I just read the interview and it is very interesting. I have never been to south africa but many portuguese or portuguese descendent did. It is one of the most developed countries of Africa and so people from Moçambique and Angola go there for study, work and even vacations.
My last year art teacher was from Mozambique and her first job was in South Africa. She told me that once she entered an all black people bus (she is white) and it was a huge scandal. For her there were no white and black segregation, I guess in portuguese colonies and through our history we have blended (even if wrongly lol). It is so curious why did the Beur had this kind of politics...
I have a very interesting publication from ONU about woman in apartheid, it is very interesting!
I will see invictus soon, I have downloaded it - my mom says it has too much of rugby lol but let me see before i judge.
I will now leave you some links of traillers of movies that i think are interesting for this subject.

We want to make sure you're invested to your full potential… in the smartest funds in your plan with the lowest fees.
How blooom approaches your 401k:
Our algorithm generates beyond-human-calculations to identify the right investments for your ideal 401k.
1. Scrub your options.
We start by taking a look at the options in your 401k and eliminating the funds that don't make sense for your retirement goals. We aim for index funds (funds that track the market), occasionally using an actively managed fund if it fills a hole you're missing.
2. Crunch the numbers.
Once we've identified the right funds to get you closest to your target allocation, our algorithm will select the ideal investments based on expense and manager experience. Of course, we double-check the results and cross-references with your recommended 401k allocation.
3. Keep an eye on the prize.
Blooom watches your account for any changes to your fund lineup, or account preferences, until it's time for another regularly scheduled rebalance. In the meantime, we make our financial advisors available to you for any questions you might have about your 401k or other finances!
Based on proven results.
20+ years from retirement?
You're hip, you're cool. You can handle more ups and downs in the market, knowing long-term returns will likely be higher.
Nearing retirement?
Time to play it a little safer, but still optimize returns. Protect a greater percentage of your savings by investing in more bonds.

About Jennifer Michael
As a child, Jennifer Michael dreamed of being an author. Life and adulting pushed that dream down to a mere fantasy. Then, as a reader, she found the indie romance world, and the dream that had been long ago deemed unattainable became a reality.
Writing fulfills pieces of Jennifer she lost. She writes stories that range from sweet and sultry to dark and daring. Behind her computer, she's constantly dreaming up where she'll go next, not wanting to be put in a specific romance genre box. Pushing limits and striving to conquer wherever the characters take her is the ultimate methods to her madness.
Jennifer resides in southwest Florida where she wishes she spent much more time at the beach. She's an avid reader of gritty books with deep emotion or dark, twisty plots and fond of more than a few guilty-pleasure television shows. She gets sucked into the world of characters from all mediums.

New York Times: Help Us Investigate the Sarah Palin E-Mail Records
On Friday, the State of Alaska will release more than 24,000 of Sarah Palin's e-mails covering much of her tenure as governor of Alaska. Times reporters will be in Juneau, the state capital, to begin the process of reviewing the e-mails, which we will be posting on nytimes.com starting on Friday afternoon E.D.T.
We're asking readers to help us identify interesting and newsworthy e-mails, people and events that we may want to highlight. Interested users can fill out a simple form to describe the nature of the e-mail, and provide a name and e-mail address so we'll know who should get the credit. Join us here on Friday afternoon and into the weekend to participate.
Washington Post: Help Anayze the Palin E-mails
Over 24,000 e-mail messages to and from former Alaska governor Sarah Palin during her tenure as Alaska's governor will be released Friday. That's a lot of e-mail for us to review so we're looking for some help from Fix readers to analyze, contextualize, and research those e-mails right alongside Post reporters over the days following the release.
We are limiting this to just 100 spots for people who will work collaboratively in small teams to surface the most important information from the e-mails. Participants can join from anywhere with a computer and an Internet connection. Read more about how it will work.
Update: Stacy has a great idea:
ATTENTION PALINISTAS: If you have the time, volunteer at WaPo and at the NYTimes to go thru the Gov's emails. You be the eyes not the haters
Update II: Via Josh Painter:
Wouldn't it be interesting if some enterprising Palinista volunteered to go undercover and submitted applications to play in the Post's pool of Palin plunderers? If you've always wanted to be a double agent, or if you would just like to bring a little bit of fairness andc balance to WaPo's
witch huntfishing expedition, just follow the links.
Update III by Stacy: To get involved in this process, go here to volunteer for the New York Times, and here for Washington Post. ADN has also announced that they will be seeking help from the public to go through these messages, and will release details later today, so heads up.
There will be nothing in these emails for anyone to fear. However, that will not stop unscrupulous individuals from spinning them out of context in an effort to hurt the governor. She needs you guys to be the eyes looking over these, and not people who are determined to destroy her. Please get involved if you can.

Why The Treadmill Is Damaging Your Weight Loss Goals
A new study has found that long, low intensity workouts such as walking leisurely may have more health benefits than short intense sessions such as hitting the treadmill for an hour, a philosophy that famous celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak has held for years, which he talked to us about in the Spring 2013 issue of Real Style.
The study, conducted in the Netherlands, took three groups of young adults to test out different types of workout routines. One group did not do any exercise, one group did one hour of intense workout after a long day of sitting and the final group split their time between sitting, walking and standing.
After looking at results, they found that those who worked out hard for just an hour a day may have better results for a short time, those who did longer low impact workouts say better results in the long term. Cholesterol and insulin levels were much improved in the low impact workout routine.
This shows that one hour of cardio each day may not be the best workout regime for you. If you are looking for long term health benefits, the best workout routine may be something much easier. In practical terms, it means you're probably better off walking a few hours a day to do your errands or to meet up with friends than you are driving everywhere but hitting the treadmill for an hour to make up for it.
Celebrity trainer Pasternak actually Wtakes this idea a bit further by suggesting that working out on a treadmill might actually do more harm than good to your weight loss goals. Think about it this way: When you go to the gym for an hour, do you often feel like you deserve to indulge in a few of your favourite foods? Exactly.
We spoke exclusively to Pasternak at his LA gym for the Spring 2013 issue of Real Style, and he confirmed this idea: "Doing too much cardio can actually be hazardous to your weight loss goals. You get hungrier as you work out more intensely," Pasternak told us. "Looking at the healthiest countries in the world in the World Diet Book, you see that none of these people do their cardio on a treadmill. The idea of being on a treadmill is ridiculous, just walk where you need to go. I know we have some urban sprawl issues in North America that make it more difficult for us, but there definitely are ways around it… All of my clients get pedometres and that's really important."
All you have to do is look at the incredible bodies of some of Pasternak's most high profile clients like Megan Fox, Halle Berry, Eva Mendes and Katy Perry to take his word for it. Find out more about Pasternak and his life-changing fitness and diet philosophies in our Real Style's Spring 2013 article: Work Out King: Harley Pasternak.
