This study – led by Elad Mei-Dan from the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto – looked at whether birth order made a difference to the health of very premature twins. 6,636 babies were involved in the study which found that second-born twins were more likely to be small for the gestational age and suffer from respiratory distress syndrome and severe retinopathy. However second-born twins did have a reduced rate of mortality compared to first-born ones.

Scion Rock Fest in pics & review (part 1) – Ludicra, Liturgy, D.R.I., Yob, Thou, Lightning Swords of Death & more
words by Kim Kelly, intro by BBG, photos by Christopher Mumma & BBG
SXSW was a blast, but days before that the Scion Rock Fest shook the college town of Columbus, Ohio (March 13th) with it's mix of metal gods of the past (DRI, Cannibal Corpse, Voivod, Shrinebuilder, etc) and killers of today (Ludicra, Landmine Marathon, Yob, Thou, etc). The one-day fest was spread throughout four of the town's venue, meaning any one person could only see a limited amount of the full lineup. Luckily I went to Columbus with my own camera, two other photographers (Jessie Barber and Christopher Mumma), and crossed paths with writer Kim Kelly along the way. If there is a metal show worth a damn within hundreds (thousands?) of miles from Kim, she'll be there. Her version of the story along with half of the pictures from the day (the rest HERE), below…
Never Blow Out the Midwestern Candle
by Kim Kelly
After driving roughly six hundred years (okay, like ten hours, but still) and taking a detour to buy dirt-cheap diluted liquor at a quintessentially "Middle American" Walmart (we're talking mullets and camouflage at 11:30pm) my two travel companions and I arrived at the Hyatt Regency in "scenic" Columbus, Ohio. I'm a jill-of-some-trades with a black metal problem, Doug Moore scribbles for Metal Review, and Matt Moore plays in a million bands (Absu, Rumpelstiltskin Grinder, Woe) and was due to darken Scion's stage the next day as Vis Crom, so it's safe to say that if we'd encountered any vehicular mishaps along the way, there would have been a hell of a lot of angry Absu fans lined up to greet us. After depositing our various alcoholic accouterments in the room, we met up with the rest of the Absu crew and assorted members of Brutal Truth, Lightning Swords of Death, and Saviours for some well-deserved liver abuse.
Lightning Swords of Death at Bernie's
Absu were due to sound check at 2pm on Saturday, so we all piled into one of Scion's nifty band shuttles and headed off to Bernie's, where I ended up spending most of my day. Matt, Paul and I made it back from a falafel run just in time to catch LA black metal cult Lightning Swords of Death, who, as usual, were a fucking revelation. Low-down and dirty grooves slunk through the blackened stormblast that the Californian quartet unleashed, recalling the war metallic fury or Revenge as well as the Finnish filth of Horna, and some unnameable quality all their own. They played a couple tracks off their upcoming Metal Blade debut, The Extra Dimensional Wound, which is due to drop within the next few months, and from the sound of it, is going to SLAY.
Liturgy at Bernies
I ducked out as soon as Liturgy went onstage and hauled ass with BBG to the Circus venue to try and catch Baton Rouge sludge fiends Thou. If it hadn't been for a well-timed shuttle filled with Hate Eternal dudes, we'd have never made it, illustrating the fatal flaw in this year's design – the venues were just too damn far apart for easy access, despite the cadre of shuttles Scion kept running to and fro. We fought our way to the front just in time to catch Bryan Funck's first blood-curdling shriek. Though time constraints and airline fuckuppery limited the crushing quintet to a mere three songs, you bet your last swig of dixie whiskey that they were three of the heaviest, nastiest, loudest motherfucking songs that Columbus had ever seen.
After doling out a quick round of bear hugs to buds (and soon to be tourmates) Salome, dudes from Landmine Marathon, Brutal Truth, MetalSucks and a supremely chilled-out Rich Hoak (of Brutal Truth/Total Fucking Destruction), I high-tailed it back to Bernie's in a van full of Saviours and weed smoke and came crashing through the itty-bitty doors just in time to catch the last half of Brooklyn black metal bruisers Black Anvil (how's that for alliteration?). A devastating cover of "Dethroned Emperor" closed their brutally satisfying set, and made way for the band I'd personally based my entire trip around seeing – Ludicra.
Laurie of Ludicra. Such a crooner
I'd caught their sound check earlier, but seeing that compared to watching Ludicra live in full force is like comparing a gentle summer breeze to a roaring gale force wind. Laura Sue Shanaman and guitarist Christy Cathers are hands down one of the most entrancing vocal duos I've ever seen, trading off grating shrieks, floorboard-shaking lows, and Shanaman's airy, ethereal singing in perfectly harmony. They wove through several songs off their incredible new album, The Tenant, as well as a few older jams, as the crowd crept up as close as they could, like expectant children at storytime. Their performance was mesmerizing, frighteningly intense, and everything one could have hoped for. They're gearing up for another US tour soon – if they come within 100 miles of your town and you don't go, you're doing yourself a massive disservice (Catch them at Europa in NYC on 4/18).
"You guys can start anytime," boomed the sound guy's voice over Absu's intro music, lending a moment of unexpected humor to an otherwise deadly serious event. Fresh off a triumphant European tour and clearly still thirsty for blood, the newly minted core of the long-running Texan occult metal band went straight for the throat with "Swords and Leather." Driven by Proscriptor's devilishly technical prowess behind the kit and earth-shattering vocals, held tightly in check by the twin axe attack of Aethyris and Vis Crom and held down towards hell by Ezezu's low-end rumbles, classic cuts like "Highland Tyrant's Attack" and "Never Blow Out the Eastern Candle" as well as newer material ("13 Globes," "Nightfire Canonization") off their stellar self-titled 2009 release have never sounded so good. Even stifled by the cramped basement venue and held face-to-face with screaming fans, Absu sounded fucking magical, and provided a fitting finale for one hell of a day. Cheers, Scion Fest; you've done it again.
I spent a good bit of time at Bernie's as well, also taking in sets by D.R.I., Landmine Marathon (check them here), and Brutal Truth in addition to the band that I went all the way to Columbus for… YOB! Pictures continued below…

Back when the US government started charging for the ESTA authorisation needed by most Australians visiting the USA, some Lifehacker readers reported that this meant you no longer needed to fill out visa waiver paperwork before entering the country. That now seems to have become a reality for everyone, but the electronic checking process is more thorough than ever.
For years, anyone flying under the visa waiver scheme has had to fill out the "green form" on entry, but this requirement seems to have disappeared now that pre-authorisation is needed for everyone. Based on my observations of the queue at Los Angeles Airport over the weekend, "no form" seems to be the universal approach: there wasn't a single one of the old green IW-94 forms in sight across flights from multiple airlines. That means that you only need to fill out the blue customs declaration (and only one of those is needed for families).
One detail that's being checked more thoroughly, it seems, is the address of your final destination (which generally gets entered when you book tickets or on check-in). In the past, a hotel name has been sufficient, but the system now requires a street address for the hotel as well, so make sure you've got those details with you at the airport.
As we've noted before, applying online for an ESTA is essential if you're travelling to the US; failing to get one means you're very unlikely to be allowed to even board your plane. When I checked in for my flight over the weekend, the check-in agent said there were still people regularly showing up without an ESTA; currently, they're advised to go to a public Internet access point at the airport and try applying online. In most cases authorisation is instantaneous, but if yours isn't then your ticket will be as good as useless, so get it sorted well in advance to save panic.

Free Estimate
As we have a lot of experience in the moving business, we know that moving quotes are often problematic. The reason for that is clients trusting unreliable moving companies, who 'hide' certain moving costs from them. In the end, clients end up with surprise costs they have to pay – and have fear from any future relocation. However, this shouldn't be like that. Evolution Moving Company San Antonio cares about its clients. That's why we make sure to explain everything about moving quotes San Antonio and leave our clients satisfied with our services.
Why do you need to know everything about moving costs?
Well, let's say you have a certain moving budget. You need money for relocation, and maybe storage or buying new furniture. So, if you are unaware of the true moving costs, you may end up paying more than you predicted in your moving budget plan, and have no money left for other things. Moving quote serves as a certain financial plan, so it is important to know all details about it.
Is a free moving quote enough?
One of the great services we offer is the absolutely free estimate of your moving costs. However, we at Evolution Moving Company San Antonio feel like it is a great feature, but certainly not enough. By contacting our moving team, you can schedule an in-home visit, and get a detailed moving estimate. You should know that moving costs can depend on the accessibility of your home, the number of floors/stairs, the number of moving boxes, specialty items, etc. This way our team will calculate the moving costs correctly, and you will have no worries about paying them after the move.
Are there different types of moving estimates?
Well, yes. The nature of your contract ( and your experience) is based on the type of moving estimate a company offers. You should know the basic differences between them. However, whatever the type you choose, be sure to read the contract carefully and ask if you have any questions. These are the moving quotes San Antonio:
- Non-binding estimate – this kind of estimate is just a prediction of your moving costs. Therefore, it is prone to changes and depends on different factors, usually on the weight of your possessions. However, this is not everything. Even though the price can be higher than it was estimated previously, you don't need to pay everything right away. Your mover can require you to pay up to 110% of the estimate written before. You can pay the rest of the sum later.
- Binding estimate – this type of moving estimate doesn't change the price. The estimate that was made in the beginning is the sum you need to pay. Of course, if there weren't any changes made to your inventory list.
- Binding-not-to-exceed estimate – is the version of the previous one, the binding estimate. If the weight of your items is less than it was estimated – the price will be lower.
How to avoid fraudulent moving quotes San Antonio and moving companies?
In a huge moving business, there are many great moving companies. However, there are some that don't care about their clients and use different ways to trick them. Be sure to:
- check the documents you are about to sign – avoid vague, blank documents. It is important to read every detail of the contract and understand it fully.
- choose a trustworthy moving company – check the online reviews, recommendations, company's website, and social network. Be sure to choose San Antonio TX local movers you can trust with your possessions.
- get the moving company representative to come and make an in-home inspection and detailed inventory list. Any vague moving estimates are a sign of a risky mover.
Why choose Evolution Moving Company San Antonio?
We explained why it is important to hire somebody reliable and get the right moving quotes San Antonio. That's why our moving company is the perfect choice for you. Our team is skilled and experienced – which means high-quality services and precise moving quotes San Antonio.

Following the adoption of the Local Development Plan (LDP), the Authority has a statutory obligation to keep all matters under review that are expected to affect the development of its area
The Local Development Plan (LDP) provides the legal framework for the development and use of land within the National Park. It also provides the context for determining local planning applications. As the local planning authority, we are responsible for preparing and updating the Local Development Plan. This process includes several stages of preparation, consultation and engagement with the public and other interested parties.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Local Development Plan was adopted in September 2010. Following adoption, the Authority has a duty to ensure that the Local Development Plan remains fit for purpose. The Local Development Plan monitoring and review section proposes a full review of the Plan at the end of the financial year 2014-2015. The outcome of that review is that a replacement Plan is required.

Scottie Pippen is a retired professional basketball player for the United States of America. He is known for his time with the Chicago Bulls where he won six NBA titles. Playing alongside Michael Jordan, they played a significant role in transforming the Chicago Bulls team and popularizing the NBA around the world in the 1990s.
On the 25th of September 1965, Scottie Pippen was born in Hamburg, Arkansas; to Ethel and Preston Pippen. He is the youngest of 12 children. The baller is of African-American ethnicity. His mother was 6 feet tall and his father was 6'1. This made all their children tall with Scottie being the tallest. Scottie's father worked in a paper mill until he was paralyzed on his right side by a stroke. This prevented him from walking, affected his speech, and forced him to retire when Scottie was 14.
See Also: Michael Jordan's Height, Weight, And Body Measurements
With the poor financial situation of his parents, they were not able to send some of their children to college. Scottie attended Hamburg High School where he played point guard and led his team to the state playoffs. Although his performance earned him the all-conference honours as a senior, he did not get any college scholarships. He then attended the University of Central Arkansas in Conway and started his college playing career.
Scottie Pippen's Professional Career
In 1987, Scottie Pippen started his professional career as a basketball player. He was selected fifth overall in the NBA draft by the Seattle Supersonics and was traded to the Chicago Bulls for Olden Polynice and future draft pick options. Pippen was part of Chicago's young forward. Having Michael Jordan as a motivational and instructional mentor helped with refining his skills and developing new ones. He made his NBA debut in November 1987.
From 1990-91, Scottie emerged as Chicago Bulls primary defensive stopper and a versatile scoring threat. He led the Bulls to their first three-peat. On the 21st of September 1991, he was announced as a member of the United States men's Olympic basketball team which represented America in the 1992 summer Olympics in Barcelona.
Rise To Stardom
After Michael Jordan retired just before the 1993-94 season, Scottie Pippen emerged from his shadow. He led the Bulls in scoring, assists and blocks; earning him the All-Star Game MVP honours. Scottie Pippen also had one of his controversial moments that year in Jordan's absence. He refused to leave the bench to re-enter the game when a time-out was over because he was angered by his coach, a decision that prevented him from taking the potential game-winner.
During the 1995-96 season, Scottie became the first person to win an NBA championship and an Olympic gold medal in the same year twice, playing at the Atlanta Olympics for Team USA. In the 1998-99 season, he was traded to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Roy Rogers. This trade received so much publicity including his solo cover of Sports Illustrated. His salary was four times as much as the salary he received during the previous season with Chicago Bulls. After the elimination of the Houston Rockets from the playoffs, Scottie expressed he wanted to be traded. He stated he wanted to leave because of his teammate's "Barkley's" selfishness and lack of desire to win. Scottie Pippen also expressed his wish to play with his former coach, Phil Jackson who was coaching the Los Angeles Lakers.
On the 2nd of October 1999, in exchange for Stacey Augmon, Kevin Cato, Ed Gray, Carlos Rogers, Brian Shaw and Walt Williams, Scottie was traded by the Houston Rockets to the Portland Trail Blazers. After four seasons with the Portland Blazers, he left to sign a two-year deal with the Chicago Bulls where he had started his career. The deal was made official on the 20th of July 2003.
On the 5th of October 2004, he announced his retirement. On the 9th of December 2005, the Bulls retired Scottie's jersey number in a ceremony where they played the Los Angeles Lakers. His jersey number-33 joined Michael Jordan's 23, Bob Love's 10 and Jerry Sloan's 4 as the only numbers retired by the Bulls. He leads the NBA in career playoff steals with 395.
Wife, Kids
Scottie Pippen has been married twice. In 1988, he got married to Karen McCollum and they had a son, Antron Pippen born in 1987. However, they had a divorce in 1990. He then got married again on the 20th of July 1997 to Larsa Younan Pippen who starred in The Real Housewives of Miami. Larsa is an entrepreneur and ten years younger than Scottie. They had started dating in 1995 and were together for two years before eventually getting married.
Larsa is a fashionista and friends with the Kardashians. She studied acting at the prestigious Piven Theatre Workshop. She is a fitness junkie and it is evident in the way she looks. This beauty got brains too as she holds a degree in Political Science. She has Four children with Scottie – Three sons (Justin Pippen, Preston Pippen, Scottie Pippen Jr.) and a daughter (Sophia Pippen).
Scottie has seven kids in total from three different women. He has a son, Antron Pippen with first wife Karen McCollum. Scottie Pippen also has four children (Three boys and a girl) from his current marriage with Larsa (Sophie, Justin, Preston and Scottie Pippen Jr.). He has two daughters from his previous ex-girlfriends. Sierra Pippen's mother is Yvette, while Taylor Pippen's mother is Sonya Roby.
On the 21st of October 2016, Larsa and Scottie had announced they had decided to end their marriage. Scottie had filed for the divorce from Larsa on the 18th of October in Florida. This came up just after they had celebrated their anniversary and were seen in the New York Fashion Week, walking the carpet with their daughter Sophia.
See Also: Lebron James Age, Shoe Size and Facts
It was rumoured that Future was the cause of the divorce as Larsa was seen hanging out with the rapper in Miami. However, Larsa had said she was just friends with him. Scottie also believed Larsa cheated on him with Future while visiting her friend, Kim Kardashian in Miami. However, a year after Scottie filed for the divorce, he decided to dismiss the petition for a split in Broward County family court.
For someone who comes from a family of tall people, it's no surprise that Pippen currently stands at a height of 2.03 m. He's the tallest in his family where everyone is above 6ft tall.

Scottie Pippen is estimated to be worth over $50 million; gotten from endorsement deals, with a big portion from his long years and dedicated career in Basketball.

Some company killers are obvious. Competition. Obsolescence. Too much debt. They're sexy problems ("business sexy" not Sophia Vergara sexy). They make the headlines and you're already aware of them. But there are hidden threats that you don't even know exist. They're the ones that could blindside you. It's like worrying about the big earthquake while the termites are already eating away at the foundation of your house. These hidden company killers aren't given the priority and attention they deserve, even though they can prove disastrous for your business.
Bad Customers
Here's a shocker. Some customers aren't worth having. This may sound like crazy-talk, but you are better off without certain clients. They come in all types. Some want miracles. Others are just so plain needy they'll suck up the time you should be devoting to good customers. My personal favorite wants your services at such reduced prices that you're destined to lose money. They'll take a fixed fee and treat it like an "all you can eat" buffet. Good luck making money off that customer.
Don't let desperation and a bad economy fool you either. Even when business is slow, a bad customer is still a bad customer. In fact, when times are tough, you can least afford to dig a deeper hole when you should be trying to climb out.
Employee Turnover
Businesses love to say that their employees remain their most valuable assets. They put it on their website and mention it in every press release and speech. But all too many employees feel like prisoners plotting an escape as soon as opportunity strikes. In a recent survey by Harris Interactive, thirty-three percent of employees said they plan to quit their job in 2013 and eighteen percent revealed that they will be looking for new employment in the next three months. That's a lot of assets strutting out the front door forever. If employees do quit, the costs are staggering, although not immediately obvious. You lose productivity. You incur recruiting and training costs. You need months, maybe years, before your new employee truly "replaces" your former employee. All of this hits bit by bit. But in the end, employee turnover costs you a fortune.
Instead, put your money into raises, benefits and creating opportunities for advancement within your company. Surprisingly, you can also increase employee retention dramatically by praising your employees and giving them the opportunity to choose at least some of their projects. Bottom line: your employees need to feel the love, not just hear the words.
"Supervision. We don't need no stinkin' supervision."
Without quality control, you're putting your company in jeopardy. You need to be vigilant. Supervise, test, inspect. A successful business can't just blindly sell products. Consider Lululemon's peekaboo pants and just about everything Carnival Cruise Lines does lately. The lack of supervision doesn't just hurt your business. It can kill your customers and your company.
In late 2012, the New England Compounding Center was linked to contaminated batches of steroid injections that reportedly caused multiple deaths and severe infections. By year's end, NECC had been slammed with over 400 lawsuits and filed for bankruptcy.
Consider the long term consequences of a defective product compared to the modest hit to the bottom line for adequate oversight. Your brand, sales, perhaps even the survival of your company is at stake. Prioritize supervision the same way that you would sales.
Whoops! We Broke the Law
Face it. We live in a highly regulated world. There's a law for almost everything and many aren't common sense. Take unpaid intern programs. Most are illegal. Trust me. Or, better yet, talk to your attorney.
You can't wing it and hope for the best. At too many companies, sales-driven employees dream up new products, propose them to prospective customers and then race by their lawyer's office seeking a quick shout out of approval--like a high five from the bench after a slam dunk. If you like orange jump suits and supervised family visits, this is your system.
Recently, Pfizer paid $60 million to settle allegations it violated U.S anti-bribery laws. That's nothing. Siemens, the German engineering giant, broke a record a few years back when it paid $1.6 billion to U.S. and foreign officials to settle similar bribery charges.
There's plenty you can do to avoid breaking the law. But the most important is adopting what I like to call a culture of compliance. Start with a novel new commandment: "Our company is not going to break the law." Learn the law. Educate your employees about what the law requires of your company. Now, comply. And when you do make a mistake and break the law, don't run and hide. Get a great lawyer to guide you, fix the problem, admit your failings and take your punishment. Too many companies super-size their problems when they try to cover-up mistakes.
Crashes: Plan for Disaster
Stuff crashes -- stock markets, power grids, computers, even meteors. You need to be prepared for unexpected disasters. Think Hurricane Sandy.
So prepare. This requires careful consideration.
Consider insurance. Most companies spend plenty on insurance, but fail to get critically needed coverage. For example, you don't need to be in a flood zone to be exposed to the risk of significant flood damage. If a sewer near your business backs up in a heavy storm, the overflow of water that ruins your company's property is considered flood damage. Standard insurance won't cover it. Even if you have flood insurance, you need to be careful. Recently, a tropical storm plowed up the Eastern Seaboard demolishing multiple facilities of a large company. All of the destruction was considered one "occurrence" under the flood policy and left the business uninsured for millions of dollars of damage.
Disaster planning presents a lot to consider. Some companies have inadequate computer back-up or rely on a sole supplier for a critical product. These businesses can't withstand a disaster. Plan for the worst and most likely it won't kill your company.
No business executive wants to wake up in the morning to an "invitation" to a Senate hearing or headlines about the failure of your product or another company killer that strikes like lightning on a sunny day. But every few weeks, another seemingly stable, even iconic, company collapses. With the discipline and effort to plan for the worst, and patience and foresight to address problems that aren't obvious, you can protect your company and prosper.

Macnamara's Plotter
From The Dreadnought Project
Macnamara's Plotter was an unsuccessful pneumatic range plotting device intended for use on the Mark IV Dreyer table to plot automatically plot range cuts from multiple rangefinders. It was designed by Lieutenant Patrick Macnamara in 1914, but was deemed unsatisfactory in some way, in all probability by being too intricate in function. On 6 July 1914, the decision was taken that the Mark IV tables should use the very simple Brownrigg Keyboard to plot their ranges.[1]

AOC Just A Glass Of WaterPosted in Announcements on April 20th, 2019
Oooh! Granny Shart aka Nancy Pelosi turn upon and snapped at Baby Shart aka Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Apparently, Crazy Ole Nancy is quite ready to pass the torch to the New Left. 😆
"When we won this election, it wasn't in districts like mine or Alexandria's," Pelosi said. "[S]he's a wonderful member of Congress as I think all of our colleagues will attest. But those are districts that are solidly Democratic."— Nancy Pelosi
To drive the point home she picked up a water glass next to her and said: "This glass of water would win with a 'D' next to its name in those districts."
Yep! A glass of water with a "D" next to its name. That how Nancy specifically referred to AOC and her victory in NY's 14th District. Fucking Ouch! That's cold.
Pelosi's declamation was also both fanatically partisan and inaccurate. She utterly ignores the nature of the primary election and electorate that placed AOC in that Seat. Maybe she should have spoken to defeated incumbent Joseph Crowley, a White Man with 20 years of experience in office who lost his Seat primarily or largely because he was a White Man running this time against a Hispanic Woman in a district which became 49.80% Hispanic and only 18.41% White over recent-ish years.
Face it, Folks, when even CNN acknowledges this sort of thing – though they're careful to make it seem something not too distant from a positive – this is more than likely a real issue.
And Nancy might just want to think about that…

Woman writes letter to stranger who saved her from abusive hubby
A woman who was being dragged to her car in a headlock by her husband wrote an emotional open letter to the man who intervened and saved her life.
The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, posted the letter on Reddit, describing the situation and why it's so important for people to intervene when they see something odd happening.
"You likely don't realize that you saved my life, but you did," she wrote.
She explained that she was dragged by her husband in a headlock to the car, and was too scared to cry out, for fear that he would get angry and do something worse to her.
She hoped that someone would intervene, and in this case, someone did.
"My husband is a large intimidating man," she continued. "You are an average, somewhat timid looking man. As you held the hand of your little son, it must have crossed your mind that intervening could be dangerous and would certainly be uncomfortable.
'"Hey! You can't do that dude".
"Your voice stopped not only my husband in his tracks, but several other nearby patrons. My hope of rescue began to build.
'"Fuck off bro, this is my wife".
"My husband quickened his pace. The car was 15 feet away. Fear sunk back into my heart.
'"I don't care who she is, you can't do that."'
The man intervening caused several people to turn around and stare, and all of a sudden, her husband stopped in his tracks.
She pointed out that as bad as it looked in the parking lot, it was even worse behind the scenes.
"What you didn't know is that I'd been trapped in the abusive relationship for years and that my husband had become absolutely unhinged in the last couple of days, showing levels of violence and anger I'd never seen in him.
"What you didn't know is that for the previous 32 hours he had kept me from my phone, my computer, my car, and any contact with anyone."
She was able to get away and call the police and her mother, and now her mother is making sure she is somewhere where he can't find her.
She finished the letter by saying simply, "Finally, I am free. Thank you, stranger."

Hidden gem
Kathryn, April 2018
Our quick stay for a long weekend was perfect! Short walk to the beach, nearby walkable restaurants, and felt very safe with security code access.
Nan, March 2018
We loved staying here. The pictures matched the house, and it was great to have outdoor space for the kids to run around. Maria was very communicative and answered all our questions quickly. The neighborhood the house is in is family-friendly and offers a nice break from the busy-ness of the beach and Destin itself. We hope to come back the next time we go to Destin!
Joyce, March 2018
Hidden gem was the perfect getaway for my husband and I to celebrate our 25th anniversary. It's private yet still close to everything you could need. You feel very at home and cozy. I love the decor and all of the special touches. This home is EXCEPTIONALLY clean!! We will definitely be back!! Maria, the owner, was quick at responding with any an all questions I ha
Hannah, March 2018
This location is absolutely perfect. Walking distance to beach and all pools. Awesome dollar general right next door for all needs! Very safe and secluded, yet very close to restaurants and shops!
Jennifer, March 2018
The home was surprisingly large, and very convenient to the beach and other attractions in Destin. We would recommend this home for other families traveling to the area.
Brandon, March 2018
We decided to take our two girls on a beach vacation for the first time and although we haven't used Air BnB for traveling in the past I thought we would give It a shot. I am so happy that we made the decision to book the Hidden Gem by the Sea. Plenty of room to spread out with our kids, very clean, vibrant community, and the private beach access is fantastic! Will be booking again in the future.
Jeremy, October 2017
Our family had an amazing time staying at "Hidden Gem." Maria's home is in a safe and well kept community, and it's central to everything in Destin (beaches, restaurants, shopping, activities). The house was stocked with all the essentials and more (beach chairs and umbrellas, a wagon to take everything to the beach, a cooler, a grill). Having access to the private community shelter on the beach was also a nice plus. To top it all off, Maria communicated extremely well throguhout the process. We will definitely be back in the future.
Elizabeth, September 2017
We absolutely loved staying at the Hidden Gem. It was the perfect size for my family of 6. It's close walk to the beach and there's a wagon on the patio to haul your towels and sandcastle making materials to and from the beach. It's very close to the community swimming pool. Maria was super awesome communicating with me every step of the way. We will definitely return!
Hummam, August 2017
That's the right interpretation of the word Paradise. What a lovely house in a great neighborhood where everything is available and up to your expectations. My family and I enjoyed every single moment of that great time that we had there.
Angela, July 2017
We enjoyed our stay! The community was very quiet and the atmosphere was homey. The house is tucked into a corner of a cul-de-sac and is very shaded. We walked to the beach, however, there is a driver and a golf cart that circles and will pick you up if you want a ride (you will still walk some because the cart doesn't go all the way to the beach). We walked to Captian Dave's and Pompano Joes for dinner. We also walked to Dollar General for more sun screen. Pompano Joes was over half a mile and Captain Dave's and Dollar General were about a quarter mile. We brought our badminton set and tennis rackets from home to use on the tennis court that is available. This resulted in an epic family tournament! We didn't realize that Maria had an outside storage unit with beach chairs and umbrellas until the last day. We had already gone to the store to purchase those items, so check the shed outside first! The private beach was very nice and clean with bathrooms and a snack area. Also located there was kayak and paddleboard rentals along with beach chair and umbrella rentals. The private beach allows personal umbrellas and tents but you need to place them behind the rental ones. This was not a problem and did not seem inconvenient. At the pavilion, there are steps (about 10) down to the beach with no ramp. The beach warning flag that was the closest was to the east. The ocean conditions flag (yellow for us) was very visible, however, the smaller one that was attached to it (placed under) was not very visible so please look closely to determine if there is another smaller flag under the larger one. Maria has posted on the refrigerator a flag guide and it came in handy during our stay. The home itself is nicely furnished and very comfortable. We had 5 adults total and we did not feel crowded as there was plenty of space for everyone. We did not use the pools that were available as it was just too easy to get to the beach. However, the pool located in the center of the community and across the cul-de-sac from the house was the largest and the busiest (busiest but not busy- no more than 15 people max were ever there). We did walk a lot (our choice) but other families did bring bikes or rented bikes locally and were using those to get around the community and the neighborhood by the beach so that is an option. There is a nice wide bicycle/sidewalk trail along the beach that we used to get to the restaurants. Overall our vacation was great. We relaxed, we laughed, and we had a great tim
Tara, June 2017
The house was perfect and we were pleasantly surprised at the location and convenience to restaurants and the beach. We would highly recommend this house and this neighborhood to our friends. We had a great vacation in Destin!
Allison, May 2017
Great location- well kept, comfortable and convenient. Maria is wonderful!
Logan, May 2017
We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean and well appointed with necessary amenities. The house was perfect for my family of four. The walk to the beach was only a few minutes and the pool was just steps away. Our host, Maria, was fantastic. I definitely recommend this place.
Alex, April 2017
We spent 5 days here and we had the best time!!! Close walk to the beach and a quick drive to great restaurants. The house is more private than I thought it would be from the pictures. I would recommend it to a friend and stay here again! :)
Finn, April 2017
We had a lovely stay at Emerald Shores. The beach is very beautiful, and the pool is great for an evening swim. The place is perfect for a nice morning jog as well.
Maria, March 2017
Maria's "hidden gem" was incredible. We found everything we need at her house. The place in person was beyond the pictures. Everything was clean when we entered, and whenever I needed to communicate with Maria, she responded back quickly. My friends and I wanted to avoid the spring breakers and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Destin. We weren't far from the beach, and it was exactly what we needed! I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a relaxed, calm and fun place to stay!
Jaylen, March 2017
Our experience was amazing! Perfect house on a great location and a short walk to the beach!
Leighann, March 2017
I stayed here with 7 of my friends and we all LOVED the house. It was clean, well stocked, and gave a nice beach feel. It had an outdoor area, a nice living room with a tv for relaxing, and a big kitchen where we were able to cook most our meals. We spent a good deal of our time in the heated pool since the ocean was a bit chilly, but the beach is just a short walk away. The neighborhood felt very safe, friendly, and relaxed. There's a Dollar General in walking distance, and anything else you need is just a short drive.Maria was a great host as well. We really appreciated how responsive, kind, and helpful she was. We really enjoyed our vacation here.
Selah by the Sea
Brittney, April 2018
We enjoyed our stay at Selah by the Sea. It was clean with a lot of helpful items at the house to lighten our packing load. The screened in patio was a great place for the kids to play in the evenings while the adults visited in the living room. It was in a great location, not too far of a walk to the beach and super close to the pools. We would definitely return to this house in the future.
Megan, April 2018
Our family enjoyed our stay very much. The location was fantastic as it was a more relaxed and family friendly vibe than other places in the general area of Destin we explored. The home was decorated lovely and very clean. Next time, we wouldn't pack as much as just about everything you would need for the beach was available (cooler, wagon, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, toys, etc). My family's Indiana skin was especially thankful for the available aloe. We spent most of our time on the beach as it was a short walk and absolutely beautiful. I would recommend walking there at sunset to watch the stingrays surf the waves. We also saw dolphins while swimming during the day. Maria was super friendly and made us feel welcome. I would recommend her place and we hope to return sooner than later!
Tasha, October 2017
We loved everything about this place! From the "at-home" feeling you get when you walk inside this glorious place to the inspirational signs throughout the space. All the rooms where private and had plenty of space for my family and my wedding party. There was a nice company renting beach furniture when we arrived on the beach. There's plenty of beach supplies at the house but we didn't realize that until we were looking for a vaccum on the day of check out. However, this place does not disappoint! You will adore staying here and you will not be disappointed. We intend on returning at least once a year! Maria is also extremely helpful and she checks in on you after you get settled. Loved that!
Tasha J.
Kelsey, September 2017
House was even better than expected! Checkin was extremely simple and Maria was very easy to communicate with. Gated neighborhood with a 7 minute walk to private section of the beach. Layout of the house is great and allows for extra privacy. Fenced in backyard was ideal for having a pet. There is also a large screened in area for the occasional thunderstorm viewing! Would highly recommend and will be back!
Chelsea, May 2017
Maria's house looks exactly how it is presented. A beautiful home with a great style, perfect for a beach vacation. We had 6 adults and 2 children and it was perfect for all our needs. Separation when needed and a large patio and living room to fit us all. The neighborhood was family friendly, everyone around was so nice, but i think it's impossible to be mean in a beautiful place like Destin! Our neighborhood had two pools that were perfect for when the beach had big waves. A huge blessing was that we could walk to Dollar General to get pretty much anything. We cooked a lot of our own food in the house which saved us a lot of money, and the house had everything we needed! The walk to the beach was very easy, and the house supplied us with a wagon to get chairs and toys to and from the beach. All in all, we had an amazing trip and I can't thank Maria enough for being a wonderful host!
Jordan, May 2017
This place is AMAZING! Quiet neighborhood, close to the beach, and right in the middle of everything!! Beautiful and spacious villa!
Taron, May 2017
Maria is such a great host! The house was so beautiful and it was everything that the pictures showed and more! Maria is such a beautiful person and it felt like I knew her even though we'd never met. We will definitely come back to emerald shores' Selah by the Sea!
David, April 2017
Great stay in a beautiful location.
Stephanie, April 2017
Selah by the Sea is located in Emerald Shores development and might be the perfect location. Walkable to the beach, a great mix of folks of all ages, with a secluded feel that belies the activity of the are. Two nice pools but an easy walk to the beach. Drivable to any main activity. The house itself has the perfect layout for a variety of family styles. A master bedroom and bath in the main part of the house with s screen porch connecting a suite of two other bedrooms and a bath--perfect for either friends or extended family. There are lots of extras (cooker, wagon, chairs, etc) that make the packing load much lighter. An easy place to keep organized and was very clean. We will definitely consider for a return trip!!
Kurt & Sarah, October 2016
We had a wonderful time in Selah by the Sea! Want to go back already! First of all Maria is very friendly and accommodating. She was very prompt and helpful with any questions we had as it was our first time to Destin. Selah by the Sea was just perfect for our stay - there were 5 of us and we all felt indictable and right at home. We loved the private beach access! It is a short walk from the house and Maria has all of the beach gear you need from boogie boards, chairs, umbrella and beach wagon to tow it over. The beach is a short walk from the house and the neighborhood feels very safe and quiet. The floor plan of this house allows you to be together with your family or to have your own privacy. We enjoyed sitting out in the back patio to read in the mornings and grilling in the evening. And it is close to everything - there is a dollar general that you can easily walk to that came in handy for us a few times. We highly recommend Selah by the Sea! Thank you so much Maria and Billy we enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again next year!
Jonathan, June 2016
We had such an amazing time at Selah by the Sea. The house was extremely clean and the amenities definitely met our family's needs. Billy and Maria were great at communicating with us. The private beach access was great, especially with it being the busy season. We had an amazing week and hope to be back soon!
Jose, July 2015
I enjoyed the experience along with my family. Maria is a great hostess; she called us after accepting our booking, told us what to expect, and took the time to answer any questions we had. Her home was comfortable and spacious enough for our group. Thanks to Maria and Billy for a nice place by the sea to stay in!

Selah by the sea was a wonderful retreat for our three families to truly decompress and relax on our beach vacation. We tremendously enjoyed our stay there. Maria was so kind to call me and give me a general overview about the the residence and the locality. She has everything you need for the perfect beach vacation - Chairs, chaise lounges, wagons, a beach blanket, coolers , mini tent, umbrella. She was even kind enough to provide an umbrella stroller for one of the little ones. This saved us from packing a lot of luggage for our road trip. The beach is just a 5 minute walk from the house...and you get access to a pristine white sand beach with emerald green waters. If you're not up to walking you can take advantage of the electric car shuttle service that makes rounds around Emerald Shores. The beach itself is not very crowded since it's a private beach. one of the days when we went for an early morning walk, we saw a dolphin breaching very close to the shore! The house itself was perfect. Although it is one unit, two of the rooms have a side-ways entrance and have individual keys.These two rooms have a Jack and Jill bathroom , so every bedroom in the house has an access to a bathroom. There are two screened areas where you can relax and enjoy a meal or read a book. We enjoyed a night of barbecuing at the outdoor area as well. Maria's kitchen is well stocked. We found everything that we needed. She even had a crock-pot! Her house is located at a Cul de sac, so our little ones had a lot of fun just playing around the cove . She was very thoughtful and called to check if we had made it to her house without any trouble and also texted to check if we had gotten back home alright after the tornadoes and thunderstorms. Thank you Maria for making our stay wonderful . I highly recommend Selah by the Sea to anyone planning to visit the Destin/ Miramar area.
As the first guests of Selah by the Sea, we were totally blown away by the comfort, style, and luxury of this wonderful property. When we entered, we felt immediately at home. It was obvious that the owners had put tremendous effort into planning and organizing the property and making it totally enticing. The house was spacious, well-lit, clean, and well-stocked in every amenity you could possibly need -- just as stunning in real life as in the pictures. The house was a few minutes' walk away from a private beach, with gorgeous white sand and blue water. Destin has tons of restaurants, shopping (a big outlet mall is just a few miles away), a lovely harbor area with fishing/dolphin-sighting tours. We came in the winter season and never lacked things to do even though it was offseason for much of the town. We can't imagine how great the city would be in the summer. We had a fantastic week here and heartily recommend the place to anyone looking for one of the best hassle-free getaways they will ever experience!

I have noticed that a number of people seem to have a faulty understanding of what the meaning and importance of consensus is. When conflicts arise, they are resolved through discussion, debate and collaboration (co-operating in a mutual goal – truth) with the idea of building consensus. Consensus is the aim of any debate that seeks the truth. The goal of any proper debate is not a chaos of different opinions or streams of one-liners pursuing gotcha points while defending personal preference, but rather, an agreement by all parties (consensus) with the truth. Undercutting or avoiding consensus yields nothing but conflict and certainly does not lead to a "unity of the faith". Even those who profess no qualms about "uncertainty" can only properly enter into debate with the intention of finding certainty. Consensus of born again Spirit filled believers leads to certainty.
Without a consensus of meaning there is no definition of words. In a proper debate no one gets to make up meanings and their preference carries no weight against the weight of a righteously formed consensus. Dictionary definitions require a consensus of usage before being defined. When you appeal to a dictionary for a definition you are appealing to a consensus for authority – consensus of usage.
I note with irony that those on this board appeal to dictionaries and long lists of quotes of respected authors in an attempt to prove their point. When doing so they don't list conflicting definitions, nor quote conflicting opinions, they cite authors who agree (consensus) with them hoping to form a collective unanimous opinion (consensus) on any given point of doctrine, the more that agree with them the stronger their argument. In other words they appeal to consensus as an authority, hoping that their opponents in the debate will not be able to debunk their argument by proving a lack of consensus through the use of equally qualified authors and definitions.
Consensus is not to be confused with a majority, plurality or popular:
Consensus – agreement reached by a group as a whole, collective unanimous opinion
Majority – a number more than half of the total
Plurality (relative majority) – the larger or greater part
Popular – widely favoured
President Obama has presidential authority by virtue of having received the majority of votes in the last presidential election (53%) he did not receive a consensus of votes. He is, however, recognized by consensus of Americans as the President of the United States. If a person is truly seeking the answer as to who currently has Presidential authority of the U.S.A., preferring John Cain, appealing to the original President, George Washington, or taking a vote in China (opinions of the Chinese can confirm the American consensus, but cannot hinder it) will not help them nor will it change the fact that President Obama is currently the President and only he has presidential authority. Any valid President will have presidential authority recognized by a consensus of Americans. That current presidential authority is recognized, but not determined (caused) by consensus.
Publishers of the NIV receiving 34% of all sales dollars for Bibles sold in 2006 have a relative majority (plurality) of sales, but they do not have a consensus of sales. The Revised Version of 1885 was quite popular when first printed, but it never became the English Bible recognized by a consensus of born again Spirit filled believers. It is a self-evident fact that the English Authorized version has been recognized as "the Bible", "our Bible" and "our English Bible" by a consensus of born again Spirit filled English speaking Christians.
|Consensus is general agreement, or practical unanimity. A group of 12 might reach literal unanimity but a population of millions cannot in a million years on any of a million subjects. That is why the word "consensus" has developed in common usage. It indicates practical unanimity, a general agreement reached without force. This should be the goal of ALL Bible texts, and all Bible translations. When it is achieved, real practical authority ensues. Bill Kincaid
• Consensus of born again Spirit filled Christians doesn't mean that everyone (absolute unanimity) who professes to be a member of the Church of God agrees or that some particular local church won't disagree.
• When recognizing Scriptural truths only the opinions of born again Spirit filled Christians matter. All other opinion can only help confirm the consensus, it can never hinder the consensus reached by born again Spirit filled Christians. This point is important because the definition of consensus is an agreement reached by a group as a whole. The group must therefore be defined and is defined as the Church of God which is made up of born again Spirit filled Christians. Along these lines I note that many call themselves Evangelical Believers. Why the need to modify the Scriptural term Believer with Evangelical if not to imply that you are a born again Spirit filled member of the Church of God in contrast to those who call themselves believers but have never been born again? Other terms are used as well such as Fundamentalist, Conservative, Baptist, Independent Baptist, etc. which are terms used to distinguish between "born again Spirit filled Christians" and those who "profess to be Christians or profess to be Spirit filled".
• Many on this board have claimed to be orthodox Christians. The fact that they modify the Biblical term Christian with the secular adjective, orthodox, demonstrates that they understand the reasonableness of consensus. Orthodox by definition is the adherence to commonly excepted standards or a view held as correct by a consensus of people.
• Heresy, as in "Denial of the Canon of the Scriptures is a heresy", cannot be defined without consensus, for heresy is a theological or religious opinion or doctrine maintained in opposition, or held to be contrary, to the 'catholic' (universal in extent, pertaining to the whole) or orthodox (consensus – see above) doctrine of the Church of God which is the pillar and ground of the truth. The doctrine of the Church of God proceeds from the Scriptures given by inspiration of God.
• Heretic, as in "Avery is a heretic" or "KJVO are heretics", cannot be defined without consensus, for a heretic is a person who maintains theological or religious opinions at variance with the 'catholic' or orthodox doctrine of the Church of God which is the pillar and ground of the truth. Again, for the gainsayers, the doctrine of the Church of God proceeds from the Scriptures given by inspiration of God.
• The use of the words "standard" and "valid" by those who argue against the authority of consensus is revealing, for the word "standard", as in "American Standard Version" or "New Revised Standard Version", is defined as an authority recognized by consensus or general consent.
• Our Canon cannot be defined without a consensus of agreement in the Church of God which is made up of individual born again Spirit filled believers. Without a consensus there is no Canon. That is to say, no Canon can be established (shown to be true, valid; proven) without consensus. No one is allowed to pick their preferred version of the Canon despite the freedom of "Freedom Readers". The idea that "any book is just as valid and sufficient as the next" is hooey. Those who reject the recognized Canon (66 Books of the Old and New Testaments) are rightly called heretics despite their freedom. Soul liberty does not allow nor justify heresy or heretics.
• The terms, "the Scriptures" or "the Bible", cannot be defined without consensus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God is not a reference to a chaos of scattered writings, everything that was ever written or to the various writings preferred by scholars, Mormons, or Islamist, etc. The Scriptures are a reference to the anthology of Canonical Books recognized by Spirit filled believers as the very word of God in written form true in all its parts (books, chapters, verses and words). The opinions of skeptics, Mormons, Islamist or unbelievers can help confirm this consensus, but their opinions can in no wise hinder it.
• Consensus cannot make something that is false become true, nor can it make something that is true become false. Consensus can rightfully be used to recognize that which is true and that which is error. Putting "Standard" on the cover of a book doesn't make it the Standard.
• Free, genuine agreement establishes authority and when agreement reaches consensus the authority is final as in "beyond dispute".
• Where all versions agree (consensus) doubt is removed and authority is established (shown to be true, valid; proven).
Oxford English Dictionary (electronic edition)
1. Phys. General agreement or concord of different parts or organs of the body in effecting a given purpose; sympathy.
2. a. Agreement in opinion; the collective unanimous opinion of a number of persons.
• The principles of consensus are valid in any generation and are not limited by language (e.g. Greek, Hebrew, English, etc.) or time period. They apply before and after 1611, and before and after the completion of the New Testament.
• If your opinion as a born again Spirit filled Christian has merit, then the opinion of a consensus of born again Spirit filled Christians has even more merit. The likelihood that an individual being wrong on a given point is higher than the likelihood that the consensus of Church of God would be wrong on any given point and especially the identity of the Scriptures.
• The fact that some Textual Critics, Scholars and Skeptics deny consensus ever really existed with the AV proves to me that they recognize the authority it would grant. Their objection to the Authorized Version of the Holy Scriptures being recognized by consensus of born again Spirit filled believers for 375+ years as "Our Bible", "Our English Bible", "The English Scriptures", "THE Bible", etc. as "supposed", "without proof", "mere assertion", etc. betrays them. Hence they pretend two things, first, that some English version in the past had the same consensus as the AV and secondly, that one of their preferred versions currently has consensus, neither are true.
• Consensus, not chaos and disagreement, is the underlying goal even among scholars. Of the 5000 plus extant Greek manuscripts of all or part of the New Testament, no two agree exactly in all particulars (lack of consensus). Confronted by a mass of conflicting readings genuine textual scholars lament the chaos and disagreements in the extant original language manuscripts. Good men spend a lifetime endeavoring to reach consensus over the reading of the original. The goal of consensus was the reason why scholars stamped "Standard" on their Bibles and the reason that "Freedom Readers" on this board appeal to only "valid versions".
• The original text is unknown and will never be known according to genuine scholars. Only where there is a consensus of reading is there any hint of "knowing the original", but even that, according to the axioms of the Neutral Textual Theory can be overthrown with a new find of "older and better manuscripts".
The average man on the street, the common man, isn't bothered by the dilemmas of the scholar for he is persuaded that his Standard Bible is indeed the very word of God in written form, in the form that God wants him to have. The scholar, of course, scoffs as such simple faith, yet, that is the faith that God expects of all believers – to believe every word of the Standard Bible.
• Defining the Standard version in a given language is not without its difficulties, but as Bill Kincaid so apply said,
|Amazing complexity for scholars equals remarkable simplicity for believers. Yes, it is true, that defining a standard has its difficulties. That doesn't mean it is impossible, or even hard to define. In the classes I have taught I ask students to define off the top of their heads the difference between a lake and a river. You might be surprised at how difficult that is. Is a lake "fatter" than a river? Is it deeper? Is its water standing still? No, no and no. At what point does a river become a lake? One definition will surely differ from another. Nevertheless, we all know the difference, and some lakes we immediately recognizewhen we see them.By the same token, an authoritative Standard Bible is not easy to define, but is immediately recognizable. If it is not recognizable, it simple doesn't qualify (assuming the attempting recognizer accepts the concept of a standard in the first place). The difficulties presented in the other thread concerning different languages are well made, and well taken, but even in these cases it isn't impossible to come to a firm conclusion. However, understand a field is not achieved by studying its most confusing concepts, but rather by mastering its simple ones. You don't explain to a small child what a lake is by pointing out the technical difficulties in defining it.
Presenting the marginal difficulties in first generation translations into non-commercial languages is misleading, much like the pro-abortion tactic of focusing on cases of rape, incest and conflicting health of mother and child, in order to justify abortion ON DEMAND. Yes, there are difficult situations, but not irresolvable ones. First, however, we have to address the high-order problems, and work our way to the peripheral ones.
• Any claim that the principle of consensus or that the word "consensus" is not found in the Scriptures is vacuous. Even principles that are not expressly stated in the Scriptures are not necessarily unscriptural. With the risk of derailing this thread, I'll mention that the word "Trinity" is not found in the Scriptures, yet the doctrine of the Trinity is clearly taught in the Scriptures even if the particulars of that doctrine can be murky, unclear or technically difficult to explain.
The Scriptures most certainly command all Christians to "dwell together in unity" Ps 133:1, "come to the unity of faith" Eph 4:13, "to be likeminded" Php 2:2, "to be of one mind" Rom 15:6, and "Can two walk together except they be agreed" Am 3:3 all of which imply consensus. Note the definitions:
o Agreed – come to one and the same opinion, united
o Likeminded – having a similar or identical opinion
o One mind – to agree in judgment, purpose, or opinion; to be unanimous.
o Unity – oneness, negates individuality(!), singleness of aim, purpose, or action, absence of diversity or variety;
• God's intent was for all men, especially the household of God, to be in unity, like-minded, of one mind and agreed upon the identity of the Scriptures. His intent was not for men to be in a chaos of doubt, disagreement or uncertainty concerning the identity of the Scriptures. If we as a people of God cannot be agreed (consensus), like-minded (consensus), of one mind (consensus) and in unity (consensus) as to which writings are the Scriptures (which books, which chapters, which verses, which words) then we will never come to agreement in meaning of the Scriptures which is our desired goal and will of God.
There was a time when a consensus of English speaking believers accepted the Scriptures at face value as both true and authoritative in all its parts, during that time there was a consensus about the character of God (good), the identity of the Scriptures (good) and believers were working towards a consensus of meaning of the Scriptures (good); the modern erosion of this accepted authority (since the mid 1850's) has resulted in a reversal of this order. There is now disagreement of meaning (bad), disagreement of the identity of the Scriptures (bad) moving towards a disagreement over the character of God (really bad). That is to say that among believers there was certainty about the character of God, the identity of the Scriptures and a steady working towards certainty of the meaning of the Scriptures, but now things have changed.
Faith and confidence in the Authorized Version of the Holy Scriptures has been labeled as both fideistic and superstitious by skeptics of all feathers. This modern erosion of faith (that erosion of faith that didn't exist previously among a consensus of believers) came about with the advent of four things,
1. Darwinism
2. Rationalism
3. Individualism (to each his own)
4. The Neutral theory of Textual Criticism
Darwinism casts doubt on the creative acts of God and makes it a "natural process" instead of a supernatural act of God. Darwinism calls into question the Scriptures, especially in the Book of Genesis, creation and other Divine acts of God.
Rationalism is the doctrine that human reason alone, unaided by divine revelation, is the source of knowledge and is an adequate or the sole guide to all attainable religious truth. Rationalism rejects the idea that Scriptures are the sole guide for "religious truth".
Individualism (to each his own) is the doctrine that teaches that all actions are determined by, or at least take place for, the benefit of the individual, not of society as a whole (e.g. the Church of God). It is the pursuit of individual rather than common or collective interests. It is in sum – egoism. This eroded the faith in the common Scriptures by allowing each individual to have "their own preferred Bible" instead of submitting to that which the Church as a whole (consensus) has recognized as Scripture.
The Neutral Theory of Textual Criticism is a new doctrine that teaches (in brief) that "the oldest is best" (basically Vaticanus and Sinaiticus) and therefore "the common text is corrupted" (Received Text – receive by all – consensus). That is the transmission of the text of the Scriptures can be traced just as any natural book with no thought of what God actually used in His Church through the ages. Specifically, the Text used by the Reformers was in error! This Neutral Theory did indeed erode the faith in the common Scriptures (in every language including Greek) so much so that those who have absolutely no experience in Textual Criticism have become experts who call the common Scriptures in error – and that with egotistical certainty.
Believing the Bible means that you believe ALL that it says – every word. There was a time when people took their Bible to be true in all its parts. But today, all Bibles are questioned in words, phrases and verses and especially the AV.

Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with the complex structures found inside the teeth. The Greek word "Endodontics" literally means "inside the tooth" and relates to the tooth pulp, tissues, nerves, and arterioles. Endodontists receive additional dental training after completing dental school to enable them to perform both complex and simple procedures, including root canal therapy.
Historically, a tooth with a diseased nerve would be removed immediately, but endodontists are now able to save the natural tooth in most cases. Generally, extracting the inner tooth structures, then sealing the resulting gap with a crown restores health and functionality to damaged teeth.
Signs and symptoms of endodontic problems:
Reasons for endodontic treatment
Endodontic treatment (or root canal therapy) is performed to save the natural tooth. In spite of the many advanced restorations available, most dentists agree that there is no substitute for healthy, natural teeth.
Here are some of the main causes of inner tooth damage:
Bacterial infections – Oral bacteria is the most common cause of endodontic problems. Bacteria invade the tooth pulp through tiny fissures in the teeth caused by tooth decay or injury. The resulting inflammation and bacterial infection jeopardize the affected tooth and may cause an abscess to form.
Fractures and chips – When a large part of the surface or crown of the tooth has become completely detached, root canal therapy may be required. The removal of the crown portion leaves the pulp exposed, which can be debilitating painful and problematic.
Injuries – Injuries to the teeth can be caused by a direct or indirect blow to the mouth area. Some injuries cause a tooth to become luxated or dislodged from its socket. Root canal therapy is often needed after the endodontist has successfully stabilized the injured tooth.
Removals – If a tooth has been knocked clean out of the socket, it is important to rinse it and place it back into the socket as quickly as possible. If this is impossible, place the tooth in special dental solution (available at pharmacies) or in milk. These steps will keep the inner mechanisms of the tooth moist and alive while emergency dental treatment is sought. The tooth will be affixed in its socket using a special splint, and the endodontist will then perform root canal therapy to save the tooth.
What does an endodontic procedure invlove?
Root canal therapy usually takes between one and three visits to complete. Complete X-rays of the teeth will be taken and examined before the treatment begins.
Initially, a local anesthetic will be administered, and a dental dam (protective sheet) will be placed to ensure that the surgical area remains free of saliva during the treatment. An opening will be created in the surface of the tooth, and the pulp will be completely removed using small handheld instruments.
The space will then be shaped, cleaned, and filled with gutta-percha. Gutta-percha is a biocompatible material that is somewhat similar to rubber. Cement will be applied on top to ensure that the root canals are completely sealed off. Usually, a temporary filling will be placed to restore functionality to the tooth prior to the permanent restoration procedure. During the final visit, a permanent restoration or crown will be placed.
If you have questions or concerns about endodontic procedures, please contact our office.
