This is every kid's dream. Imagine traveling through a local forest and coming across an abandoned military pillbox with an open hatch leading to a massive bunker rife for exploration. You and your buddies drop inside the hatch and discover that this bunker is enormous and build into parts of an abandoned quarry complex as you end up descending a five-story concrete staircase into the underground lair. Now for the best part. Not only are you having a blast pretending to be Indiana Jones exploring a once-secret military bunker, you come across abandoned military equipment! You first come across a rusting pair of German 77-mm cannons from World War I. It gets even better, as you move further throughout the bunker you come across relatively new French military gear that's in great shape considering that it's been sitting underground for years. You round a corner and right in front of you sits a six-wheeled French ERC-90 Sagaie armored reconnaissance vehicle, sadly it's lacking the 90-mm cannon that the vehicle is normally armed with. Next you come across a Panhard VCR armored personnell carrier that's in nearly perfect condition and finally a old military truck.
Well as the photos above and below show, if you can make your way to France and find this bunker that's been used on and off since around World War I for everything from military purposes to mushroom farming, you can have this expereience. The only trick is finding the place. S. Marshall at Pridian.net who took these awesome pics in 2008 won't reveal the facility's location.
Bunkers full of rusting Cold War and World War II gear are rumored to be all over Europe (heck, the U.S. Army still has massive underground stockpiles of "prepositioned" tanks in Germany, a legacy of the Cold War). Usually, these bunkers are found to be empty and falling apart (like the famous underground Soviet sub base turned museum in Ukraine). This is the real deal; one of the few times we've ever seen any evidence to show that sometimes the rumors can be true.
Click through the jump to explore the rest of the bunker without that musty underground smell (and without the thrill of being there yourself).
The ERC-90 armed recon vehicle greets you.

A new endeavor: Marianne Faithfull
Isn't she gorgeous!!!! Marianne Faithfull. Mick Jagger's wife, accomplished singer, and one of my style icons. I'd really like to adapt her style!It's exactly what I like- masculinity and femininity in one outfit.
Let's work head to toe. For sunglasses, I have the red risky businesses from FredFlare, but I don't think those will work out. These are from Claire's, the little vines on the sides aren't my favorites but I like these shades so much that I don't care:What I would really like is an oversized blazer. I hope I can find one in the women's section so it's a little big and has that menswear look on me. These are all from Old Navy:Now I need a top. I have a white button-down blouse, it's very simple but I like it. I also have this vintage scarf that I could tie on top. As for the pants, I am really lost. I have to find some trousers, but I have no idea where. Do any of you lovely chaps have a suggestion?
Shoes is also an issue. Blah. I will never be able to find decent shoes. Sigh. Broques would be perfect if I was able to find a pair somewhere....
Ok, so maybe this didn't turn out as productive as I thought. So it's an obstacle, an endeavor! I'll keep working and hunting, and post pictures if I ever find the outfit (which I will!)
Marianne Faithfull, why can't I get no SATISFACTION??? (Haha, get it? That was Tavi's play-on-words. RS fans UNITE!)
Yours truly and tiredly,

FOUR REPLIES How do leaders of the financial industry view the nation's capital needs? Spokesmen from commercial banking, investment banking, savings and loan, and insurance discuss the causes and implications of a potential shortage and the problems their industry faces in helping maintain a flourishing economy. COMMERCIAL BANKING: THE TWIN THREATS TO CAPITAL by W. LIDDON McPETERS, President, American Bankers Association and President, Security Bank of Corinth, Mississippi The question of whether or not our nation is heading for a capita! short-age is an exceedingly complex one. In this issue of TEMPO, Dr. Freund deals with the question in an especially lucid way. The concerns which he has expressed from his vantage point in the securities industry are widely shared in commercial banking. About one-fourth of the total credit outstanding in our economy comes directly from the more than 14,000 banks in our nation's commer-cial banking system. Moreover, a sig-nificant amount of the credit provided by several other types of lenders is supported, in part, by bank loans and commitments. Commercial banking's contribu-tion to the annual supply of new credit fluctuates from year to year, of course, but over a decade or so, it will tend to expand its holdings of debt securities and loans at about the same pace that total debt has grown in our economy. Federal Fiscal Policy This year-to-year fluctuation in the volume of credit extended by com-mercial banks is primarily the result of (1) changes in the demand for credit by individuals, businesses, and gov-ernments and (2) shifts in Federal Reserve monetary policy. The availa-bility of bank credit depends on the ease or tightness of the latter. Dr. Freund's emphasis on the important influence of the federal government in determining whether or not our nation may experience a capital shortage is well placed. A deficit in the federal budget has important implications with respect to the demand and supply of capital. (1) A federal deficit tends to result in a higher level of spending on consumption than would exist if federal revenues and expenditures were in balance. That is, the total of taxes and current savings is less than it should be in relation to total income in the economy. (2) In financing the deficit, the federal government at-tracts funds away from capital forma-tion in the private sector. Federal deficits thus tend to reduce the supply of capital, while at the same time increasing the demand for it. They have been a major source of inflation in our economy. The proper and principal use of money is (he consumption and alienation of it, whereby it is expended in making purchases. Therefore, in itself, it is unlawful to receive a price for the use of money lent, which is called —ST. THOMAS ACQUINAS Because the anti-inflationary weap-ons of fiscal policy are usually po-litically unpalatable, the burden of combatting inflation has fallen mainly on Federal Reserve monetary policy. The result has been recurrent periods of tight money over the past 20 years. Since this policy is implemented largely by curtailing the expansion of bank credit, the commercial banks and their customers have been sub- 10

I have sheltered myself from the news for the last week. I have been keeping up with what is going on purely by the internet, because I knew that I couldn't handle seeing the images of the devastation. I know what deep, dark destitute, poverty looks like. I know what hurting people look like. I know what sick and starving babies look like. I know the statistics about orphans. So I thought that if I could just read about it, I could shield myself. Yesterday, however, I thought that I was prepared to finally turn the TV back on. I turned on Good Morning America. I thought that the kids were occupied and that I might just have a minute alone to see the coverage and grieve. About that time Sadie walked in and saw the TV. The images were of rows and rows of little brown babies, lying on the ground, covered in cuts. They were all crying. Sadie came in and sat beside me and snuggled her head into me. She said, "Mom, is that where our baby Miles is? Is he hurt?" I think the images reminded her of pictures she has seen of the orphanages in Kinshasa. I told her that our baby Miles was safe, but there were lots of babies who were hurt and sick in Haiti who were not safe.
Every one of those little babies is somebody's baby. All of the suffering people in Haiti are someone's mother, brother, father, sister. And they were suffering long before the earthquake changed the face of Haiti forever. If anything positive can come of this state of chaos, it is that now the world knows. The world knows that the people of Haiti need help.
Hearing the derogatory comments of some people in the media about Haiti, reminds me of just how ignorant and biggoted people can be. We have heard the same things in regard to Africa. We have heard the comments that if we just left "Africans to themselves" they would eventually just "go away." The same has been said of Haitians. But I think that as Americans, we just don't understand. When I say that we have nothing to eat in our house, I really mean that there is nothing that I want to eat, yet my cupboards are still full. When I get mad about a costly car repair, I forget that just having a car makes me in the elite 5% of people in the world. When I get inconvenienced during a storm because the electricity is knocked out for a couple of hours, I forget that there are millions and millions who have no power on a daily basis. We look on the news and see looting and crime in impoverished nations and we think about how uncivilized their societies are. But I can guarantee that if my children were hungry, I would resort to anything I could to make sure they had food. We don't stop to put ourselves in their shoes, because their world is one that we can't even fathom. When all we've ever understood is privilege, we can't picture anything different. We live such blessed lives that we take for granted every single day.
Having a child that lives in the second poorest country in the world (only behind Zimbabwe) has opened my eyes to so much. Once your eyes have been opened, you can't pretend that you don't know. You can't pretend that there aren't desperate people everywhere. You can't hide from the overwhelming need.
By now, most of you have probably already donated to aid in the earthquake relief. But there are still things that you can do. So many families are in the middle of processing adoptions in Haiti. You can write your senators and ask that these adoptions be expedited and that these precious children be granted emergency entrance into the US. Every baby that can make it to their forever home, will free up resources for the babies in Haiti who have to stay. Here is the link to find and email your senator.
Tons of blogs are donating money for every comment that gets left on their blogs. My friend Corey, who has adopted 5 children from Haiti, has compiled a list of these on her blog. http://watchingthewaters.wordpress.com/ Take a minute to click around and comment on these blogs so that more money can pour into Haiti.
And lastly, and most importantly, pray. Pray for the hurting people. Pray for the Haitian Americans who can not find their friends and families in their home country. Pray for the families who are digging their loved ones out of the rubble. Pray that our eyes would be opened to suffering in the world. Pray that Haiti will be resilient to such tragedy. Pray that in the coming weeks, as Haiti fades out of the news media, that WE will still remember to pray for and support the nation of Haiti.
So many times we focus of how different things are in places like Haiti and the Congo. But deep down, though our lives are very different- we are all just people.
And their words may be very different from yours.
But inside their hearts are just like yours.
Whoever they are,
Wherever they are,
All over the world.
Their smile is like yours,
And they laugh just like you.
Their hurts are like yours,
And they cry like you, too.
Whoever they are,
Wherever they are,
All over the world.
Joys are the same,
And love is the same.
Pain is the same,
And blood is the same.
Smiles are the same,
And hearts are the same-
Whoever they are,
Wherever you are,
Wherever we are,
All over the world.

M.Y. Marine has been established on the Mornington Peninsula for over 16 years. Starting out as a fledgling marine mechanic in 1992, Michael Rozakis started the business in a tiny corner garage right on Safety Beach. Word quickly spread of his passion for his work and, after seven years of mechanical service and boat sales, M.Y Marine outgrew its small beach fronted location. The move was made down the coast to a 1 acre site in Dromana where they have become the peninsula's largest retailer of New and Used Boats, Motors, Trailers and Accessories.

Perhaps this could be the state's new tagline: Welcome to Washington, the home of the nation's best broadband infrastructure.
OK, not too catchy.
But a new report released today by TechNet ranks Washington as the best in the nation for broadband when it comes to adoption, network quality, and economic structure. The state ranked ahead of Massachusetts, Delaware, Maryland and California.
Of course, Washington state officials are already jumping on the report as an example of why this is a great place to do business. Governor Chris Gregoire, quoted in the press release from TechNet, notes that the study "confirms the importance of high speed Internet access in our state."
The report didn't get into specifics about broadband speeds, though Washington ranked lower on the scale when it came to network quality. (Delaware achieved the highest score in that category). It also didn't compare individual states to other countries, some of which have routinely shown much higher broadband penetration and speeds than the U.S.
Here's what the report said about Washington:
The state of Washington tops the TechNet State Broadband Index, driven by an economy that has a strong orientation toward (information and communication technology) and apps development. In picking apart the three main inputs to the index (adoption, network quality, and economic structure), Washington leads on the strength of its ratings on economic structure. With the presence of Microsoft and Amazon, as well as companies like F5 Networks and T-Mobile, and others, Washington has an economy which demands high speed connectivity.
You can read the full report, titled "TechNet 2012 State Broadband Index: Where States Rank as They Look to High Speed Connectivity to Grow Strong Economies and Vibrant Communities," here.

Following a 48-hour internet blackout in Syria, rebels have released pictures of equipment that, they claim, kept them online throughout the cut.
Internet and phone services were restored in most areas of the country on Saturday after a two-day blackout and some of the worst fighting in Damascus for months.
According to online experts, the cut was likely caused by government forces and many saw the regime agression in the capital, combined with the internet blackout, as no coincidence.
In the past, the Syrian government has cut phone lines in areas where they are planning military operations. However, the latest blackout was the first to cover the whole country since March last year.
Rebels released images on Sunday of satellite equipment in an unnamed office that apparently kept them online during the shutdown. The pictures were apparently taken months ago but only released today.
Meanwhile, AP reported that 20 Lebanese volunteers, fighting alongside Syrian rebels, were killed by regime security forces. The news gave rise to fears that the Syrian conflict is spilling into the rest of the Levant region.

Maritime Alert – Dangerous Surf Conditions
4 May 2012
Roads and Maritime Services has issued an alert following a Bureau of Meteorology warning about dangerous surf conditions for the entire NSW coast on Sunday and Monday.
Maritime advises skippers and owners of small craft to be on high alert and to check the conditions before considering crossing a coastal bar or heading offshore.
Dangerous surf conditions can easily translate into dangerous conditions for rock fishing and for vessels crossing coastal bars.
Strong winds can also translate into dangerous conditions for vessels on moorings which have been poorly maintained.
Every skipper is responsible for the safety of their vessel and all on board, and Maritime advises skippers to:
- Check the official weather before and during boating;
- Ensure the boat and its equipment is suitable for the conditions;
- Log on/ off with a Marine Rescue NSW marine radio base for every trip offshore; and
- Wear a lifejacket.

PHIL: John, it's good to be here with you today. Let me start by asking you this question: How did this invitation to the White House come about?
JOHN: Well, as you know I had the opportunity to appear on the Larry King Live program along with Dr. Bob Jones, Max Lucado, a Catholic priest, and a liberal Methodist bishop to discuss the war from a Christian perspective. I did get a letter from the White House office thanking me for the things that I said there, giving what they believe was a right understanding of the picture of the war. I appreciated that. My assumption is, that based upon that appearance and other opportunities to influence people there through the teaching of the Word of God and through our radio program in Washington, led to the invitation.
PHIL: In fact the invitation came the day after Larry King, right?
JOHN: Yes, it did. It came the next day. At first I thought: I don't think I want to go to Washington. I'm not sure I have much to offer. I've said things, I've written things about political issues, related to the kingdom of God. But then as I began to think about it and everybody around me, including you, prevailed and said, "Look, when your President calls, you go."
PHIL: In fact, at first you said your inclination was not to go.
JOHN: The political world isn't really my world. My first instinct was to say, "Thank you very much for the invitation, but there are certainly others who could maybe make a better contribution." But as I thought about it, and as you all prevailed upon me, I decided that it probably was the right thing to go and to represent the truth and to give support to those in power and authority in our country who do seek to honor God and who do love the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm really glad I did.
PHIL: How much did you know about the agenda of the meeting before it took place?
JOHN: Well, all I knew about was that there was going to be a briefing, that the White House, the President himself, and the White House cabinet wanted evangelical leaders—this small group of evangelical leaders. And by the way, Phil, there were only evangelicals there. And my assumption was, and it was accurate, that they just wanted to give us a personal insight into the various issues that are of importance to the White House so that we would have a firsthand understanding, and that's because they recognize that we all have broad constituencies. There are many Christian people in the White House. The President, as everyone knows, makes no hesitation in confessing Jesus Christ as his Lord and affirming his Christian testimony. He's done that publicly. We've all heard him do that. Attorney General John Ashcroft is a very outspoken Christian and was so at the briefing. There were many others on the White House staff who are Christians. And I think it was important for these people to let evangelical leaders know how strongly the Christian influence is felt in the most powerful place in the world, really, so that we could have confidence, and in particular they said, so that we could pray knowledgeably about the tremendous responsibility that these people feel, not only toward this country but toward God, to discharge their stewardship.
PHIL: It was obvious from the delegation that was invited that someone in the White House understands the evangelical world. Who were some of the other people who were there?
JOHN: People that our listeners would be familiar with, I think: David Jeremiah, Adrian Rogers, Alistair Begg—people who are heard on Christian radio. There were some others I know perhaps who were invited but weren't there, but those people were there. Dr. James Kennedy was there, who is probably known more for his television program. People like that. Ravi Zacharias was there. Erwin Lutzer from the Moody Church was there. Those men who are known in this country as those who faithfully proclaim the Word of God.
PHIL: And you didn't make the trip alone? Tell us about it.
JOHN: No, in fact, I was talking to my son, Mark, who lives in Chicago, and I was telling him that I had been invited to the White House. He said, "Dad, you're not going alone. I'm going with you!" And I said, "I don't know. This is an invitation thing, Mark. I'm not sure I have any weight about getting you in." He said, "You can ask!" And Mark, by the way, is on the Board here at Grace to You and is in his own right a Bible teacher. So he said, "I'm going with you, Dad." We called the White House and said, "Would it be possible to bring along John's son?" And they said, "We'll get back to you." And they called back and said, "Sure, we'd love to have him." Then my other son, my older son, Matthew, who is also a Board member here at Grace to You said, "Look, what about me?" and so we called up the White House and they said, "Well, we'll get back to you. We have only a limited number of places." As it turned out they allowed them both to come. It was really a wonderful time just being with my sons who are unashamed in their love for Christ and in their testimony for Him and who love their country and who are very loyal in fulfilling Christian responsibility as citizens. It was just great to be together, to have that experience and to be able to talk about it, and interact about it, and I know that in years to come ahead we'll look back to that as a real unique opportunity and highlight for us.
PHIL: Well, what took place during the meeting? You want to walk us through the experience just sort of step by step. Tell us as much as you can.
JOHN: We were basically introduced to significant members of the Cabinet, people who are actual Cabinet members such as Don Evans, who is Secretary of Commerce, and the Attorney General John Ashcroft, who is well-known to everybody in our country. They gave stirring speeches to us, talking not only about their Christianity, their background, the things that they are committed to in regard to the Lord, but talking about the issues that face our nation and how they view them from a Christian perspective and even from an absolutely biblical perspective, which was really very encouraging. We heard from Gordon England, who is Deputy Secretary, Department of Homeland Security right under Tom Ridge, talking about the fact that we have a new day in our country. There was a time when you could prosecute criminals and imprison them and even execute them and that would be a threat. In other words, the threat of jail, the threat of long jail sentences, the threat of capital punishment no longer [something missing?] because terrorists are willingly suicidal. The threat of death is no threat to them at all and so we have to stop them before they commit the crime. We can't prosecute them afterwards because when they commit them they're dead. There are all kinds of people today asking: "What about war? Is it right?" There is a chapter in the book, Terrorism, Jihad, and the Bible which gives you a very clear picture of what the Bible has to say about war. And as I said on the Larry King program, this is a just war. I think that maybe one of the reasons why the White House asked me to come because that's an affirming thing. They believe this is a just war and they believe that what makes it just is that it is a war of protection and that they cannot wait until the evildoer gets here and wreaks more havoc. A lot of that I pointed out in the book, Terrorism, Jiha, and the Bible which could just as well be titled "Terrorism, War, Jihad and the Bible" and how that all fits together in the Word of God. So I was very encouraged with the fact that they do believe that they are acting justly. America has always done that. We've always entered into a war of defense and protection.
PHIL: Let me ask you a question about that because on the Middle Eastern side a lot of these people, and some of the terrorists as you mentioned, do these things because they believe this is Jihad—Holy War. On the other hand, you say that people in the White House feel that they are discharging before God and yet I heard the Larry King broadcast there and you pointed out that from our side this is not Holy War in that sense. This is not Christians against Islam, or anything like that. Explain the difference.
JOHN: This has nothing to do with Christianity – the war itself. This has to do with discharging a civil responsibility. That civil responsibility that belongs to the ruler, that belongs to the agents of government which according to Romans 13, "the powers that be are ordained of God." "They are ministers of God," it says, "for justice." John Ashcroft made the statement that he's so happy as a Christian to be in charge of the Justice Department because it's the only department in the whole American government which has a moral title—justice, and it suits a Christian. He's discharging, as are all of those leaders, a civil responsibility. This has nothing to do with being a Christian war. We're not trying to convert people to Christianity. We're not trying to stop them from being Muslims, but that's not the idea. We're not trying to take the message of the gospel as a government in there. Our government is doing what a government is supposed to do. But what I think is so wonderful about it is they're doing it because they understand how God has ordained government. I think it was de Tocqueville who said, "America is great because America is good." That needs to be explained. Americans are not good. There is none good, no not one. We have no right to claim the blessing of God; we have no right to pray for the blessing of God. God owes us nothing. This is an ungodly nation and that rejects Jesus Christ. It's corrupt throughout. Every sinner is a defiled sinner before God. There's anti-God attitude, anti-Christ attitude pervasive all through this land. This just war does not represent any spiritual revival in this land. It doesn't put us in a place to be blessed by God. It is simply government functioning the way government should. But it's good to know that the men at the top understand what America has always understood—that a war is a last resort and it is only a war of protection and punishment.
PHIL: So you were in this briefing for how long? How long did this go on?
JOHN: We were in there probably three hours.
PHIL: Were most of the speeches focused on the war?
JOHN: No. Most of them just talked about issues of integrity and character. They all talked about that. And they talked about the President's selflessness. There is one question that he asks when somebody comes into his office with some kind of proposal to solve a problem, a dilemma of some sorts. His question is always this: "What is the right answer?" I forget which one of the speakers said this. You know, that just isn't said in the White House. The right answer? What is the politically expedient answer? What is the answer that the media will let us get away with? What do the focus groups say, what do the polls say? What is the right answer? I mean, in the day in which we live—postmodernism—one could argue that there was no such thing as a right answer.
PHIL: That's exactly what many people believe.
JOHN: Yeah. What is the right answer? What is the right thing to do?
PHIL: And these people who spent their lives in politics are saying, "It's refreshing to have someone to think...."
JOHN: Well, it's a new day. For someone to say: "What is right." So I think government under those kind of conditions with people of integrity, functions the best way the government can function.
PHIL: In your view, the reason for the meeting? Did they call you there to brief you so that you would pray?
JOHN: I think the reason for the meeting was what happened at the meeting. To fully inform us about the process that goes on there. Why they do what they do. So that we, as evangelical leaders, would know that we could trust them, and they kept saying to us, "Pray for us. Tell your people to pray for us. This is a huge responsibility." They don't believe they are fighting, as I said earlier, a Christian war. This isn't about Christianity. This isn't about converting people to Christianity. They just want God to be honored because they do what is right for the stewardship they have been given. If that makes sense. They just want to fulfill their responsibilities. And obviously, the Christians—and they are not all Christians of course, but there are many Christians there—they see the really big picture and they know their stewardship is before the Lord.
Just a note on that. When I first got there they said that was really interesting. We're going through security, which obviously is significant. A gentleman came up to me, introduced himself as an inside person in the White House who is attached to the President, and he said, "You know, John, I want to talk to you about a message you gave." And I said, "Wow, sure." I didn't know what he was going to say. He said, "You gave a message on the deadly dangers of moralism." And I said, "I sure did." I was ready to duck because that was a sermon I preached that called into question much of what is going on in the name of the religious right.
PHIL: In fact, that became a chapter in your book Can God Bless America?
JOHN: That's the final chapter, kind of the culmination of the book Can God Bless America? But when I gave that message on the dangers, the deadly dangers of moralism, about how getting caught up in how to make America moral can be deadly dangerous because it misses the point and it substitutes a good thing for the only thing, and that's the gospel and evangelism. Well, anyway he said, "I was told I should listen to that tape. I thought, I don't know whether I want to listen to that tape, but I listened to it." This is what he said, Phil. He said, "John, you got it exactly right." I thought I had been criticized by the religious right for saying those things. Here's a guy inside the White House who said, "What you said is exactly right." He said, "It made me completely rethink what we do." Apparently this has affected others there, Christians there in the White House, and what I said in the tape was, he re-iterated, "You know, John, we fight so much for these political issues and get so involved with trying to get them through (get them through Congress, or whatever it is), get these things passed, and we do tend to turn our opponents into our enemy and get so caught up in the kingdom of this world, we forget that our responsibility is the kingdom of God. And we can't alienate these people that we have to reach." I just said, "Wow." It encourages me to know that somebody in the White House would see a higher authority than the White House—and that would be the Word of God—and say, "That's what the Bible says. We need to rethink what we do here."
PHIL: Yes, that is encouraging.
JOHN: I would encourage by the way, our listeners, the book Terrorism, Jiha, and the Bible which deals with the biblical view of war, and the book Can God Bless America?, which has the message: "The Deadly Dangers of Moralism." Those are available from Grace to You. They're pertinent. They are right now the kind of thing that will help you to understand what is going on and be able to give answers to people around you.
PHIL: Interesting that you bring that up about the deadly dangers of moralism. You've been really outspoken about the importance of not confusing social and political reform with the gospel and spiritual transformation. Were you concerned that even making this trip might be sending people the wrong message?
JOHN: My going couldn't undermine that. I mean, I've been preaching this too long. I've been known for teaching the Bible for so long. What I've said, I believe the Bible teaches, is public knowledge to everybody in the evangelical world. So I don't think that they would assume that this was a sort of a change. My view was that if I go they will know, that in all that I've said, I'm not at all saying that I don't want to support my government; I don't want to support people who are just and honorable, and doing right. I do pray for those who are rulers and those who are in authority that we might live a tranquil and quiet life.
PHIL: In fact, that is something you've taught on recently at the Shepherds' Conference this year, you gave a prayer for President Bush, and I think we broadcasted that on Grace to You also.
JOHN: That's clear in the Scriptures. Pray for those that are over you. Pray for your rulers, those who have authority over you. Pray that God will so work in their lives and through their leadership, whether they're Christians or not. Paul wasn't talking about Christian rulers when he wrote that. There weren't any.
PHIL: That's probably an important point to be made. It's easier to be supportive of a President who seems to share our concerns, our convictions, and our values as Christians, but what would be our responsibility to another kind of President.
JOHN: Well the last one claimed to be a Christian, too, didn't he?
PHIL: He claimed to be.
JOHN: Yeah, he said he was a Christian. He carried a Bible and went to Church.
PHIL: Our responsibility to pray for him was the same, right?
JOHN: Absolutely. Pray that God would even, through him, accomplish His will. And more than that. That God would do a work of grace in his heart and accomplish whatever spiritual work needed to be accomplished in his heart. I think that when you're praying for the ruler you have to pray for what it is the ruler needs. First of all he needs Christ and he needs salvation and then he needs wisdom from God to rule in a wise way and we would pray that, in whatever case.
PHIL: In fact, when the apostle Paul wrote these commands in Romans 13 and when he wrote to Timothy to pray for rulers, at that time the Roman Empire was ruled by men who were so overtly hostile to Christianity that they were persecuting Christians, killing people for their faith.
JOHN: Yeah, there was no such thing as a Christian ruler. They were all pagan rulers. That didn't change our responsibilities. Submit to the powers that be. Didn't change our responsibility to pray for them, but it does tend to indicate what our prayers should be. In this case, you have a President who affirms his faith in Jesus Christ, who by testimony of everybody around him lives like a Christian lives—has integrity, is selfless. We still need to pray for wisdom for him. We need to pray for the work of God to be mighty in his life. We need to pray for him to be faithful to the testimony that he gives so that his integrity is never called into question. We need to pray that for all the people in leadership who say that they're Christians that that would be genuine and it would manifest itself in an ongoing way. And then to pray that God will give them wisdom. The decisions these people will make are really immense. The implications are way beyond what any of us would ever be able to imagine. And the Lord has called us to pray, and that means that He would work through those prayers to accomplish His purposes.
PHIL: In fact, John, maybe as a way of wrapping up this discussion, why don't you lead us in prayer for President Bush right now.
JOHN: I'd be glad to.
Father, we thank You that You have, seemingly, in this country, given us a bit of a reprieve from the downward rapid spiral we seemed to have been experiencing. You have brought into power a man who claims to consult You on a regular daily basis, who by the testimony of those around him, starts every day with Bible study and prayer, who surrounds himself with those who know Jesus Christ, and we're grateful for that. It's almost an anomaly that You would be so gracious at a time like this which is so crucial. We thank You for putting this administration in place before 9/11 so that when it did happen, men of character and justice, men who care about righteousness, men who care about serving others, who are willing to consider what is the greatest need for the people, both now and in the future, were already in place. We thank You for putting men who are decisive, who are compassionate, and yet resolute about the punishment of evildoers and the protection of those who do good. We thank You for giving us rulers and a President who understands the right role of government, and who's a steward of that responsibility. And we ask Lord, and this is our greatest prayer, that through this war and through the influence of this government, salvation would come to many. Yesterday, Father, I saw a picture of a foxhole in Iraq, a trench in which two soldiers were baptizing a third one in the name of Jesus Christ—right this week in Iraq. And I received a letter from one of the guys in our church who is with the Marines fighting in Iraq saying people are coming to Christ because they're facing death and they want to be sure they're right with God. Lord, this is what we pray. We're not praying that we would win a war and that our economy would go up. We're not praying that everything in America would be safe and comfortable. We're praying that people would be converted to Christ. We're praying that in these days of fear and questioning there might be a turning to You because there is an anxiety about death. We're praying that there might even be in our country pulpits that have been watered down and given over to psychology, given over to foolishness, and given over to shallowness, where the powerful reign of biblical truth might return so that people can hear the true gospel, not the gospel of self-fulfillment, but the gospel of self-denial, cross-bearing—the true gospel of salvation. This has to start in the pulpits, and maybe the testimony of our President, the testimony of his resolve, his willingness to be straightforward and do what is right might set an example for preachers who have lost the vision for being bold and forthright and straightforward and resolute and manifesting fortitude and courage in the proclamation of the true message in the very, very important days. We do pray, Lord, that You will continue to bless those in authority over us; those that don't know Christ, may they be saved, may they come to grips with their eternal souls. We know there are many in leadership in our nation, leadership in our military, that don't know Christ. We pray for their salvation through this time and we pray for the salvation of our troops who don't know the Lord Jesus Christ. We do pray that maybe even some day, through the end of this war, if this country prevails, that it might open a way for the gospel to penetrate the Muslim world. We pray for the salvation of people in our own country, many people—most people by far in America—who know not Christ. We pray that there might be a real movement of the Holy Spirit to bring about the salvation of souls. We know this is dependent upon the hearing of the message. How can they hear without a preacher? And so we go back to praying for the preachers of this land to be faithful proclaimers of the true gospel. These things we pray for the glory of our Christ. Amen.

What is it?
The Cloud is just another word for the Internet.
Over time it has been adopted by the marketing department as it sounds sexier than the internet and has now moved into "common" terminology for the internet.
Logically, cloud computing is computing delivered from the internet.
Depending on the type of cloud service you opt for, you can obtain software or systems to provide:
|website hosting
|word processing
|email marketing
|whole desktops
In other words all of the things you use on your computer, plus more, without having to buy the software and have it installed.
There are other names that are used that essentially refer to the same thing, a few examples are: Software as a Service (SaaS), Application service providers (ASP), Utility Computing, SOA and Infrastructure as a Service.
Over the years, Cloud Computing has gained huge popularity, starting in the mid 1990's when several services started to pop up such as Hotmail, one of the very first cloud computing examples.
Over time many more services have been developed, did you know that services such as Yahoo mail, Google mail, Facebook, Twitter and even Amazon are classed as examples of cloud computing?
One of the predictions I made a couple of years after starting SpiderGroup back in 2004 was that eventually the PC as we know it would be replaced by browser and internet enabled devices, this is slowly happening. I'm sure many of you already possess an iPad.
We are now at a point where you can run a business from your office, home, in fact anywhere you are. The IT industry has evolved to a point where it has significantly matured so that it isn't an expensive black-hole of expense but a key business enabler, a utility such as water or electricity.
Why should I care?
- Save money because there is no need for Onsite servers, IT Support contracts, Backup systems and Anti-virus
- Software is always up to date
- Managed by experts
- Monthly licensing for all your IT
- Scalable per/user pricing and predictable budgeting for your business IT and support
- Increased security on your data
- In-built Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Summing it up
With the emergence of the Cloud; no you don't need an umbrella, you just need to know what it can do for your business: Cloud computing is the future of business technology.

A dancer and choreographer who worked with Michael Jackson throughout his career testified on Wednesday that she told the director of Jackson's ill-fated concert tour that she was worried about the singer's health, but her plea went unanswered.
Witness Alif Sankey told a jury deciding a lawsuit that the pop star appeared thin and unprepared in 2009 for the rigors of his planned comeback concerts known as "This Is It."
The singer showed up at one rehearsal with shoes that had holes in the soles, missed rehearsals and appeared much thinner than earlier in his career, Sankey testified.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Sankey showed jurors an email she wrote to tour director Kenny Ortega in early June 2009, urging him to try to improve Jackson's health and spirits. She said she never got a reply.
"Please help me help you to get him back into that Magical Light, please let me help you help him find what was lost, his GRAIL," Sankey wrote to Ortega, who she had worked closely with for a number of years.
She wrote that she knew what she could say to Jackson that would make him respond and also offered suggestions to help lessen the pain of rehearsals.
Sankey met Jackson while working on his 1987 video for "Smooth Criminal" and was an associate producer and planned to dance onstage during "This Is It."
She was testifying at the trial of a negligent hiring lawsuit filed by Jackson's mother against concert promoter AEG Live LLC. Katherine Jackson claims AEG failed to properly investigate the doctor who was caring for her son and later administered a fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol to the singer in June 2009.
The promoter has denied wrongdoing and its attorneys have said the singer hid his addiction to propofol. Jackson's former physician, Conrad Murray, was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter. He is appealing the case.
Sankey said she based some of her impressions of Jackson over the years on how he felt when they hugged.
"When I hugged him, he just felt like marble," Sankey said about Jackson early in his career. "But when I hugged, when I saw him briefly in 2006, he didn't feel like that anymore. He felt thin. He just felt thin."
He was thin during the "This Is It" preparations, she said, and she became concerned when he missed multiple rehearsals.
The dancer also described meeting Jackson's daughter, Paris, while footage was being shot for the "This Is It" shows. Paris Jackson shared a secret with Sankey, saying she had brought lots of candy stuffed into her purse to the studio and didn't want her father to find out.
There were also several tiny pictures inside her purse — all of her father.
"Her purse was full of candy and pictures of her daddy," Sankey said.

Above: The Harvard varsity eight moves farther ahead of
Crimson as it crosses the 1,000-meter mark
Middle: Captain Blake Pucsek accepts the Compton Cup as his fellow varsity oarsmen look on
Bottom: YouTube video of the Crimson's sweep
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The fourth-ranked Harvard heavyweight crew swept four races from No. 7 Princeton, including a varsity eight win against the Tigers and MIT to claim the Compton Cup, Saturday morning on the Charles River.
Racing in choppy water on a cold, wet morning, the Crimson came from behind to take the first three races of the day before winning the varsity eight to claim the Compton Cup for the 59th time in the 74 cup competitions since 1933. It was Harvard's fourth straight Compton victory and its eighth in the last nine years.
Harvard (3-1) and Princeton (3-2) were in a close race for the lead through the first half of the cup race. The Crimson led by about one seat at the 1,000-meter mark but surged several more seats ahead while passing under Massachusetts Avenue. Shortly thereafter, the Tigers' steering cable broke and their boat crashed into Harvard's lane, breaking the bow off the Princeton shell and preventing the Tigers from continuing. Harvard went on to finish in 5:53.01, beating MIT (1-5) by 26 seconds.
In a ceremony at Newell Boathouse following the race, named the rowing shell used by the varsity eight in honor of Malcolm Howard '05, a three-time national champion with the Crimson and a 2008 Olympic gold medalist with Canada.
The three preceding races were all variations on the same theme. Each time, Princeton pulled ahead early, only to see Harvard rally for the victory. The second varsity trailed by three seats in the second 500 meters before passing the Tigers around the 1,000 mark and finishing in 5:53.59. Princeton crossed the line in 5:55.13.
The Crimson freshmen trailed by six seats at the midway point but took over in the third 500. They built a seven-seat lead of their own with 500 meters to go and won by a boat length in 5:49.31. The most exciting comeback may have belonged to the third varsity, which trailed by six seats before passing Princeton inside the final 500 meters and winning by more than four seconds in 5:54.42.

Here's The Problem With The New Theory That A Japanese Math Professor Is The Inventor Of Bitcoin
Earlier today we wrote about the intriguing new claim, from computer industry pioneer Ted Nelson, that the inventor of Bitcoin was probably Japanese math professor Shinichi Mochizuki.
Mochizuki made a name for himself last fall when he cracked the infamous ABC Conjecture, which dealt with the nature of prime numbers.
Nelson's argument, which he laid out in a video, is that Mochizuki showed a level of intelligence and breadth of knowledge that was similar to the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator, who went by the name Satoshi Nakamoto. Nelson pointed out that like Nakamoto, (who introduced Bitcoin to the world and then disappeared without a trace) Mochizuki did much the same thing after his famous proof last year.
But some are skeptical.
In a comment posted on YCombinator which he has let us publish, Clark Minor explains the problem with the theory that Nakamoto is Mochizuki:
This is almost certainly wrong.
If you spend any time at all reading about history of Bitcoin and other related currencies, it's clear that Satoshi was a cypherpunk. And at least an active lurker, if not a well-known participant, in the cypherpunks mailing list during the 1990s and early 2000s. Just look at the sources in the bitcoin paper.
Satoshi cites lots of cypherpunks, and not many mainstream academics. The code borrows time-stamping ideas from Usenet and takes inspiration from command-and-control architectures of IRC botnets.
The pieces of the puzzle are:
- (1997) Adam Back's hashcash proof of work system
- (1998) Wei Dai's b-money
- (1998-2005) Nick Szabo's writings about git gold
- (2004) Hal Finney's reusable proof of work (RPOW)
Satoshi brought these ideas -- cypherpunk ideas -- together to make Bitcoin, not the ideas about improving Chaumian blind signatures and anonymous e-cash that were being discussed in the academic crypto literature of the time.
Remember, cypherpunks (and others inspired by Tim May's crypto-anarchy) have a long history of communicating anonymously. Anonymous remailers and pseudonyms were expected on the list, so it's not unusual to see Satoshi Nakamoto come out of this tradition.
There are probably people that know who the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, but they're not going to tell. They're cypherpunks, after all. And if Satoshi stays anonymous, it just means that everything is going exactly as planned.
Meanwhile, Nelson has promised to donate one Bitcoin to charity if Mochizuki will come out and say he's not the Bitcoin inventor.
