A-Rod, game take another severe hit with latest PED allegations
The tale Alex Rodriguez wove in spring training of 2009, upon being identified by Sports Illustrated as one of the 103 players who flunked baseball's survey drug testing in 2003, was that he was but a naïf caught up in a "loosey, goosey" steroid culture and used drugs he couldn't remember or could barely pronounce only from 2001-03 -- a careful, narrow window that predated his tenure with the Yankees and baseball's penalties for usage. So slick was Rodriguez that not once did he even use the word "steroids."
Today the Miami New Times, a weekly publication, presents a much more conniving picture of Rodriguez, as well as five other baseball players, as someone who delved deep into the world of performance-enhancing drugs even in the immediate aftermath of that 2009 contrition and baseball's tougher drug policy. He is portrayed as a serial doper.
The Miami New Times obtained from a former employee of a Miami "wellness" clinic what it said are the personal notebooks of Anthony Bosch, the director of the since-shuttered Biogenesis clinic who was not licensed to practice medicine in Florida. The notebooks contain the names of customers, either in code name or by recognizable names, and their detailed doping regimens. The baseball names are Rodriguez, Toronto outfielder Melky Cabrera, Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal, Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez and former Padres pitcher Cesar Carillo.
Those notebooks offer a trove of information about modern doping in all sports. They detail how and why testing alone doesn't stop the cheaters. They now hold the key to not only a possible criminal case, but also to the 2013 pennant races -- suspensions could be forthcoming -- and whatever shred of credibility is left to Rodriguez's baseball and personal legacy.
The next phase of this story is to hear from the players, none of whom commented to the Miami New Times when given the chance, as they scramble for a defense strategy that makes the truth as undetectable as they believed the PEDs to be.
On Tuesday afternoon, Rodriguez's publicist released a statement, which read: "The news report about a purported relationship between Alex Rodriguez and Anthony Bosch are not true, He was not Mr. Bosch's patient, he was never treated by him and he was never advised by him. The purported documents referenced in the story -- at least as they relate to Alex Rodriguez -- are not legitimate."
But the bigger shoe to fall is the one belonging to commissioner Bud Selig. The notebooks of Anthony Bosch are figuratively on his desk at this very moment. The man who in union with the players association has crafted the toughest anti-PED policies in pro sports has the power to suspend the players even without a positive test.
Under section 7.G.2 of the Joint Drug Agreement, the commissioner can rule for disciplinary action against a player for "just cause" in the cases of violations not specifically referenced in the JDA. Prescriptions and records of PED use and purchase fall under the "just cause" umbrella.
In 2009, for instance, Manny Ramirez entered an appeal of a test that showed an elevated level of testosterone. When an investigation of that appeal turned up a prescription from a doctor for a banned substance, Ramirez dropped his appeal and accepted the 50-game suspension. Ramirez was not banned because of the test, which technically was not entered as a positive, but because of the records of his prescription for hCG, a female fertility drug often used to kickstart testosterone production after steroid cycles.
Ramirez's doctor? Pedro Bosch, the father of Anthony Bosch.
It was that same year, 2009, that Rodriguez was using Anthony Bosch's cocktails of PEDS, according to the Miami New Times. Rodriguez, who turned 34 that year, returned surprisingly fast from hip surgery to bat .286 with 30 home runs and 100 RBIs while helping to the lead the Yankees to the world championship. A notoriously poor postseason player for the Yankees, Rodriguez batted .365 that postseason. Rodriguez also had been treated post-surgery by Anthony Galea, a Canadian doctor who pleaded guilty in 2011 to bringing unapproved drugs, including HGH, into the U.S. to treat athletes.
The Bosch notebooks contain information about Rodriguez's doping regimen from 2009 through 2012, including the drugs, payments and schedules. The banned substances include HGH, IGF-1, and creams and "troches," a type of drug lozenge, that contain testosterone.
The notebooks refer to Rodriguez by name and also by the code name "Cacique," a term originally referring to Caribbean tribal chiefs but has come to be used to describe local political or street bosses with excessive power -- a corrupt leader.
Major League Baseball is not terribly surprised by the breaking news, especially with Rodriguez, Cabrera, Grandal and Colon all previously having been tied to failed tests and synthetic testosterone previously identified as the drug of choice of cutting edge cheats. The inclusion of Cruz and Gonzalez were new developments.
Cruz was a journeyman with his fourth organization before he had a breakout season with Texas at age 28 in 2009. His connection to Bosch harms the reputations of all such players with late breakouts, leaving a cynical fan base to wonder if drugs are in play for such stories.
Gonzalez, who attended high school in Miami, is 52-29 over the past three seasons with Oakland and Washington. Lengthy suspensions for Cruz and Gonzalez would greatly impact Texas and Washington, respectively, two playoff clubs from last year with World Series aspirations.
Baseball's Department of Investigation, in cooperation with federal authorities, has been looking into the wellness clinics of South Florida for months. A major league source said MLB has been tracking all positive tests in the past year or more to look for any common denominators in terms of geography, trainers, suppliers, etc. The Miami area kept coming up as a possible main vein of the PED trade, and MLB investigators were focused on the area. The MLB Department of Investigation is a direct response to recommendations outlined by former senator George Mitchell in his 2007 report on steroids in baseball. Carrillo and Grandal attended the University of Miami and Cabrera and Rodriguez live in Miami.
The revelations also make abundantly clear why MLB and the players association tightened their testing protocols only weeks ago. What Bosch and his clients did from 2009-12 was to use cutting edge science to jump through loopholes of an outdated testing system. Though HGH was banned, for instance, baseball did not test for it until last year -- and only then as one announced test when a player arrived at spring training. Moreover, drug cheats could pass tests as long as they used transdermal, fast-acting testosterone-packed creams that elevate testosterone levels but can go undetected in tests as quickly as 24-48 hours.
Bosch and his clients were only the latest in a long line of stories of how every advance in testing begets another advance in cheating. Baseball moved to close such loopholes by instigating in-season random blood testing for HGH -- the first for any North American sport -- increasing the more sophisticated radio-isotope urine tests, and adopting so-called "longitudinal" testing protocols in which labs keep a baseline testosterone level on players. Any noticeable spike in the level would trigger an inquiry and more sophisticated tests. It was this kind of "bio-passport" testing that caused disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong to say during his recent confession of drug use that testing in his sport became much tougher to beat.
The union and MLB moved quickly toward the adoption of such tougher protocols as more major league and minor league players were getting caught for using synthetic testosterone. The investigations into the South Florida clinics ran on parallel tracks to those concerns.
Likewise, the strange events surrounding Rodriguez's second hip surgery will bring about questions about his involvement with Biogenesis. Rodriguez had no problems with his left hip before a complaint about his right hip, the one surgically repaired in 2009, eventually led to the diagnosis that he would need surgery on his left hip. That surgery was postponed for nearly two months for "pre-habilitation" in order to better prepare the area for the rigors of recuperation. Rodriguez was expected to miss half the season, though Yankees general manager Brian Cashman did not rule out the possibility of Rodriguez missing the entire season.
Indeed, Rodriguez's career never has been in more doubt than it is today. His health and reputation are in tatters. He turns 38 in July. The incentives the Yankees included in his contract for "milestone" home runs now stand as even more awkward reminders that his achievements are fraudulent.
What will become of him? The Yankees would wish he never puts on their uniform again, writing him and his contract off to the insurance companies or, if they have the stomach for it, to try to invalidate the agreement because of his use of PEDs, the way they once threatened to do with Jason Giambi. Rodriguez must give a full accounting of himself and this report to Selig and, quickly, to baseball fans. You can see Oprah, Katie Couric and Dr. Phil already lined up at his doorstep for the next sports confessional.
In any case, the news is worse for Rodriguez than it is for anybody else in the report, if only because of his stature and that 2009 confessional production under the tent in the Yankees' spring training complex. Until now, Rodriguez was careful to shield the Yankees from his taint, telling the story about how he stopped using PEDs before he became a Yankee -- as if it made perfect sense that he used for a last-place Texas team but suddenly would have no more use for performance enhancers upon being put on the New York stage. The story seemed to fly for many people. But now, with this story, the franchise and its 2009 championship are smeared by Rodriguez's connection to PEDs.
Now Rodriguez must bring to bear all of his advisers and Hollywood image makers for some kind of severe recovery strategy -- even bigger than the last. No matter the damage control Rodriguez brings, it is a terribly sad story. It is sad because the scouts who watched him play in high school will tell you they never saw a better, more complete player at that age. He needed no help. And now he stands as someone defined by his help, not by his talent. What is there left of him that is believable? Only this: the Cacique has fallen.

No new art today again, but someone else's. I have been struggling this year with my ability to color things in a realistic way; I am constantly awed by all these amazing digital folks who can catch light and shadow so wonderfully, and the process of replicating the color around us and how it conveys depth and mass is still such a mystery to me. I'm such a line-drawing person that I am befoggled by those who can just slap broad patches of paint across a surface and suddenly there are birch trees with a patch of sunlight falling on them that bursts from the frame, or translucent skin that glows from inside. It was in this frame of mind that I stumbled across Gregory Thielker. When you look at his images (which you will, because you are now in the grip of my Jediesque mind-control) just be aware that they are OIL PAINTINGS. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I mean, I've seen some photorealists before, but these floored me because they actually convey multiple layers of space. They are 3-D. They are IN. CRED. IBBLE. Click on his name or this picture for more brain-skewering paint-magic.

Weird, huh? Now, you can go here for a great explanation and clearer close-up image of those weird stripey features, but before you do, let it be known that when I first saw this, I thought they were actually tree-like growths towering above the crests of the dunes and pretty much needed to change my pants in the face of a really alien landscape. Sadly, it's not quite as a incredible as that, but it's still beautiful and awe-inspiring. I believe I'll have to illustrate what my brain was perceiving, because it was really sweet.
Speaking of which, sorry for the lack of new art. I'm trying to finish up a couple of the aforementioned board games in time to be Christmas presents.

BLOG TOUR and GIVEAWAY: The Serpent's Ring by H. B. Bolton
Evan and Claire Jones are typical teenagers, forced to go with their parents to yet another boring museum ... that is, until something extraordinary happens to make their day a little more than interesting. After following a strange little creature into a closed exhibit, Evan and his older sister, Claire, discover the Serpent's Ring, one of the magical relics formed from the shattered Mysticus Orb. Purely by accident, they have awakened its powers and opened a portal to Sagaas, land of ancient gods.
Before the siblings can comprehend what has happened, the Serpent's Ring is wrenched from Evan's hand by an enormous bird and flown back to Aegir, the Norse god of the sea. Evan and Claire, accompanied by a band of unlikely heroes, must retrieve the Serpent's Ring before Aegir uses its immense powers to flood all the lands on Earth.

Currently, Barbara Brooke resides in sunny Florida with her supportive husband, two adorable children, gorgeous greyhounds, and scruffy mutt. She is actively creating new worlds and interesting characters for the next book in one of her series. Shhhh, can you keep a secret? Not only does she write spellbinding, heart-pounding women's fiction, she also writes books for the young-at-heart, adventurous sort who yearn to dive into a good young adult fantasy story. These particular books are written under the name H.B. Bolton, but that is another story altogether.
Author on Goodreads
You can find the book on Goodreads
With lots of excitement and magic this book works well for middle graders who aren't yet ready to tackle longer and more difficult fantasies. Evan and his family are visiting a living museum when he sees what he takes for a monkey. He sneaks into a building under renovation and comes across a magical talisman called The Serpent's Ring. His older sister, Claire, comes up on him as he is exploring and they both try on the bracelet sized artifact. Unfortunately, before they really know what they have the Ring is stolen and Evan and Claire set off with Dunkle, the imp, the artifact's protector to recover it.
I recommend this book for those who prefer not to get bogged down in details. I myself prefer detail, it allows me to visualize the characters and settings better. Here all I know about the characters is that Evan is 14-years-older, Claire is his older sister, and their parents are a galley manager and history teacher respectively. Plot is emphasized over character development, but for younger readers, they are more interested in plot anyway. Certainly the creatures and challenges that Evan and Claire run into are entertaining and fun to read about. A nice complement to all the recent books involving various sorts of mythology.
- You must be over 13 to enter.
- Open internationally.

Please note the Parish Council is currently revising its policy on this annual award - more details will be made available as soon as possible.
The Award Scheme was first introduced to the people of the parish of Alveston by the Parish Council in 1994 to honour those in the Parish who have made a significant voluntary contribution to the community within the Parish. The scheme was renamed "The John Dyer Award" in 1995 in recognition of John's contribution to the community.
The aim of the award is to provide a local and therefore easily accessible recognition of distinctive achievements of adult individuals who are resident in, or whose achievements are within the Parish of Alveston which includes the villages of Alveston, Earthcott and Rudgeway.
Acts of service to individuals or groups, which by virtue of its merit and duration, has contributed significantly to the quality of life within the Parish of Alveston.
Acts of service shall not include activity derived from paid employment nor in the service of political parties or other bodies and such service shall be voluntary and unpaid.
Whilst such acts of service should normally be given within the Parish, consideration can be given to nominations where the service is given outside the Parish providing residents of the Parish obtain benefit from such service.
Nominations for the award have now closed and due to the fact that no nominations were received this year, a presentation will not be made.

Pillow TalkTuesday, May 19, 2009
First of all, let me say thank you to all you sweet readers for your kind words yesterday. It really meant a lot - I had thought about not mentioning my husband's recent job loss (I mean, what a downer post for a Monday morning!), but I'm so glad I did. You all really made my day.
With that said, if I do feel the need to cry in my pillow I thought I should go ahead and research and find which ones would be the best...
I am a sucker for any kind of monogram... and these were just too cute.
Have I mentioned my affinity for crewel work?
You just can't beat the prices at Target. This one is a mere $24.
And now the etsy finds...
Don't these scooters just scream summer?
I think I might just be in love with this little ruffled number.
Did I mention I was a sucker for a monogram? And, this one is made from felt made from recycled water bottles. How cool is that?
This one appropriately named Pick Up Sticks.
And this one just made me smile - what a conversation piece!
Which one do you like best?

What makes a single number so interesting that ancient Greeks, Renaissance artists, a 17th century astronomer and a 21st century novelist all would write about it? It's a number that goes by many names. This "golden" number, 1.61803399, represented by the Greek letter Phi, is known as the Golden Ratio, Golden Number, Golden Proportion, Golden Mean, Golden Section, Divine Proportion and Divine Section. It was written about by Euclid in "Elements" around 300 B.C., by Luca Pacioli, a contemporary of Leonardo Da Vinci, in "De Divina Proportione" in 1509, by Johannes Kepler around 1600 and by Dan Brown in 2003 in his best selling novel, "The Da Vinci Code."

Children's iPad App, Monki Animal Builder
Reviewed by Susan Stephenson, www.thebookchook.com
From the developer:
- Kids friendly (4+ years).
- 6 different characters with their own personality.
- Over 30 body parts to build up your very own animal.
- 60+ animations that brings everything to life.
- More than 15 accessories: sunglasses, pirate hats, diving glasses and more.
- 90+ audio tracks with educational vocabulary and sentences.
- Online features to store and share animals (parental lock).
- No third-party advertising.
- No in-app purchases.
What I liked:
I have a fondness for digital toys where kids get to create something. The "product" in this case isn't a story or a digital tale but an image of a cute creature. Children are engaged in making decisions about the creative process - Will I add this bow, or these sunglasses or both? The bright colours and patterns will appeal to young kids, and they can save their favourites to the Camera Roll. The creativity can be further extended if these "animals" become characters for children's stories. I can also see children having such fun trying to invent names for their creatures - like my Fleeglefly and Honkimun in the image above!
I'll be adding this post to my list, Creating with Children and iPad Apps.

Welcome to Organisational Semiotics Home
Organisational semiotics (OS) is a paradigm that guides semiotic research and practical applications in organised activities by addressing questions such as how organisations and individuals behave effectively in the information era, stakeholders' needs and expectations, processes for achieving goals, norms for governing actors' behaviour, and social values in organisations. OS, as a branch of a long-established discipline of sign – semiotics, sees an organisation as an information system in which information is processed and utilised as a key resource for achieving the organisational goals and objectives.
OS provides a framework for information management, and explores the nature, characteristics and functions of information in an organisational setting. The OS approach enables us to holistically inquire information and information systems from the syntactic, sematic, pragmatic, and social perspective. The OS also provides a set of methods and techniques which can be used to define a problem context, capture stakeholder's requirements, specify business functions and norms, and represent enterprise knowledge that lead to design technological solutions.
In the past decades, OS and related methods and techniques have been applied in multi-disciplinary applications including computing, enterprise architecture and strategy, digital business, healthcare informatics, business-IT reengineering and intelligent spaces for working and living. Specifically, OS facilitates information systems development by providing semiotic diagnosis of organisations within an information ecosystem. Furthermore OS serves as the theoretical and methodological foundations for designing business valued IT systems through tackling infrastructural, operational, and organisational alignment. In the digital society, as new technologies e.g. social media, big data, cloud computing, mobile technology and internet of things increasingly affect business, organisation and people's life; OS has become more relevant for its power of dealing with the interplay between signed based world (i.e. data and information world) and physical world (i.e. physical infrastructure and activities). The OS approach offers effective means to understand the phenomenon, design and produce solutions that integrate seamlessly the physical objects and the signs in the "semiological domain" in order to respond to the organisational needs in a business ecosystem.
The OS community aims to meet annually in a form of conference during which new research outcomes, challenges and trends are discussed. The first ground-breaking event to mark the birth of the discipline of OS was the workshop in Twente in 1995. Since 2001 the OS community started to receive regular support from the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), Working Group 8.1 for the OS workshops and conferences. In 2009, the workshop for Organisational Semiotics was renamed as the International Conference on Informatics and Semiotics in Organisations (ICISO). Over the years the conferences have covered many research themes to reflect the new challenges and trends, e.g. web of things, people and information systems; service science and knowledge innovation, information and knowledge management in complex systems, and socially aware organisations and technologies: impact and challenges. These regular events provide the opportunities for academic scholars and industrial practitioners to publish their research findings, reviews, and solutions which intend to improve economic and social welfare in the evolving organisation, foster business innovation, and advance the disciplines of OS and related informatics research in business, organisation and technologically enabled systems.
The next ICISO conference will be held in Campinas, Brazil on 1-3 August 2016. Please visit here for more information.

Spellbound Co-Founders Launch Nurture Rights Kids Co.
Peter Curtis and Nick Barrington, co-founders of Spellbound Entertainment (The Koala Brothers), have started a new children's entertainment company, Nurture Rights and acquired their first property.
Nurture is dedicated exclusively to kids' properties, particularly ones that integrate newer forms of interactive digital media. Nurture acquired the rights for the literary property Dinosaur Roar! and is actively developing the brand across a range of platforms. Written and illustrated by Paul and Henrietta Stickland, The Dinosaur Roar! book has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 30 languages. Nurture's plans for the property include a new website, interactive touring museum exhibition, a 3D IMAX experience and live events.
Spellbound will continue to operate as a company as well, marketing the hit series The Koala Brothers, though it will focus on more traditional television-led properties.
Curtis said, "We are very excited about our new venture and the acquisition of Dinosaur Roar!. Today's media environment provides exciting opportunities to tell stories that unfold across a wide range of media and Dinosaur Roar! is particularly well suited to this approach."

Saido Berahino too excited for Stoke's trip to Manchester United
He may be struggling for goals so far this season but you simply cannot fault Saido Berahino's enthusiasm.
Dressed in his match-day track suit, the Stoke City striker was raring to go when he reported for his side's game against Manchester United well ahead kickoff.
Alas, unfortunately we're talking a full 24 hours ahead of kickoff.
Kurt Zouma wants to know why Berahino is turning up to training in the match day tracky @SBerahino @KurtZouma pic.twitter.com/sYKgifGHb7— threesixtytv (@Threesixty_tv) January 14, 2018
Berahino came prepared for the match thinking it was on Sunday, only to find that the fixture is actually scheduled to take place at Old Trafford on Monday evening.
Thankfully, the ensuing confusion was captured for posterity by Beharino's teammates, Kurt Zouma and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
UPDATE: To add insult to Berahino's embarrassment, he was left out of Stoke's 18-man squad for Monday's game!

Berean Studies / Ber06 - Brotherly Kindness (Brotherly Love)
(Use your Browser's "Find" or "Search" option to search within this page)
Single Click a triangle below to see the references CT Russell selected for the associated question. The study questions (with the references) are also included as an attached Adobe PDF file at the bottom of this page.
1. What is the 'new commandment' given by Christ to his disciples?
2. What is brotherly love?
3. Who are our 'brethren'?
4. Why is the manifestation of brotherly kindness so necessary ?
R3434 col. 2 ¶2, 3
R3434 [col. 2 ¶2, 3]:
It was with the full appreciation of the fact that the Church would need comfort rather than chiding and reproof that our Lord said, "If I go not away the Comforter [the holy Spirit] cannot come." The ransom must be paid, must be presented in the "Most Holy," to the heavenly Father, before his blessing could be bestowed. That blessing would yield the comfort of the begetting of the Spirit and the comfort of the exceeding great and precious promises to those who had accepted Jesus,--and to those who would believe on him through their word. True, our Lord spoke of the holy Spirit as reproving--but not as reproving the Church; he said, "He shall reprove the world of sin, of righteousness, and of a coming judgment." The nearest suggestion to reproof in respect to the holy Spirit's dealing with the Church is that given by the Apostle, when he says, "Grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." And again he says, "Quench not the Spirit."--Eph. 4:30; I Thess. 5:19.
The grand provision made for the comfort of the Lord's people clearly indicates a necessity for such comfort; nor is this necessity difficult to find. The Lord's people are beset on every hand with adverse conditions--the world, the flesh, the adversary--seeking to intimidate or discourage or entrap the new creature, so as to hinder its development in grace, knowledge and love, and ultimately to hinder it from the attainment of the perfection and glory to follow, which God has promised to the faithful only. What we need, in order to make us sons and daughters of consolation in the Church, is a larger measure of love and sympathy in our hearts. In proportion as sympathy and love come in, they will crowd out the spirit of strife and contention and judging and fault-finding; even as they crowded out at first the spirit of the flesh, --anger, malice, hatred, strife, vain-glory.
5. Is it important that we observe the spirit as well as the form of our Lord's command?
1Pe 1:22; Ro 12:9; R2518 col. 1 ¶5( 4) to end; R2213 col. 1 ¶2; R2242 col. 1 ¶4; R3542 col. 2 ¶4, 5; R3233 col. 2 ¶4
1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
R2518 [col. 1 ¶5(4) to end]:
"Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the spirit [the spirit of the truth] unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart, fervently."-- `1 Pet. 1:22`.
This medicine is for those who have used the other prescriptions and gotten clean. It points out that the purity came not merely through hearing the truth, nor through believing the truth, but through obeying it. And not merely a formal obedience in outward ceremony and custom and polished manner, but through obedience to the spirit of the truth--its real import. All this brought you to the point where the love of the "brethren" of Christ was unfeigned, genuine. At first you treated all with courtesy, or at least without impoliteness; but many of them you did not like, much less did you love them: they were poor, or shabby, or ignorant, or peculiar. But obeying the spirit of the truth you recognized that all who trust in the precious blood and are consecrated to the dear Redeemer and seeking to follow his leadings are "brethren," regardless of race or color or education or poverty or homeliness. You reached the point where your heart is so free from envy and pride and selfishness, and so full of the spirit of the Master, that you can honestly say, I love all the "brethren" with a love that is sincere and not at all feigned.
Now having gotten thus far along in the good way, the Lord through the Apostle tells us what next --that we may preserve our hearts pure,--"See that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently [intensely]." Ah, yes, the pure heart must not be forgotten, else it might be but a step from pure love into a snare of the Adversary, carnal love. But the pure love is not to be cold and indifferent: it is to be so warm and so strong that we would be willing to "lay down our lives for the brethren."--`1 John 3:16`.
With such a love as this burning as incense to God upon the altar of our hearts there will be no room there for any selfish, envious thoughts or words or deeds. Oh how blessed would all the gatherings of the "brethren" be, if such a spirit pervaded all of them! Can we doubt that, if it held sway in one-half or one-third or even one-fourth, it would speedily exercise a gracious influence upon all--for righteousness and fidelity and love and peace, and against envy, strife, malice, slanders and backbitings?
Let all the "brethren" more and more take these medicines which tend to sanctify and prepare us for the Master's service, here and hereafter.
R2213 [col. 1 ¶2]--"Let love be without dissimulation.":
He had already explained the necessity for love; but he now puts us on guard against a merely feigned love, which would only outwardly appear kind and polite. The true spirit of love, a holy spirit, will not be a dissimulating one, a hypocritical one: the love will be genuine, heartfelt as well as mouth expressed. This love is to be toward God, and toward all in proportion as they are God-like, or striving to be so. It is to be a love of that which is good, right, pure, true.
R2242 [col. 1 ¶4]:
While the outward affairs of life are to be regulated and harmonized with the Lord's character and will, as expressed to us in his Word, yet the object sought is to have these good qualities proceed from an inward source, a regenerated heart; a heart from which Selfishness has been dethroned, and in which Love has been enthroned as the moving impulse of life. Love to God will regulate all of our obedience to him, so that it will not be merely outward and formal ceremonies, but worship in spirit and in truth. Love to fellow-men --especially to the household of faith--will guide us in our dealings with them; for love thinks no evil, love slanders not, love backbites not, love bears no false witness, love seeks not her own interests merely, but also the welfare of others, is not proud, but humble, meek, gentle, easy to be entreated, long-suffering and patient.
R3542 [col. 2 ¶4, 5]:
It is difficult for us to gage our own hearts thoroughly and hence we should use great charity in measuring the hearts and intentions of others, and should err rather on the side of too great sympathy and leniency than on the side of too strong condemnation. Doubtless had the apostles been inquired of respecting the matter they would have denied any elements of selfishness in their motives and conduct, and would have thought and spoken only of their zeal for the Lord and desire to be near him. This illustrates to us, what the Scriptures declare, that the human heart is exceedingly deceitful-- that it needs scrutinizing carefully lest, under the cloak of something good, it might harbor qualities which without that cloak we would despise or spurn.
As further illustrating this subject, and as helping us each and all to apply the lesson personally, we relate a dream told by a Scotch minister, Horatius Bonar, shortly before his death. He dreamed that his zeal was represented in a package of considerable size and weight, and that some angels came to it and weighed it and assured him that it was full weight, an hundred pounds-- all that was possible. In his dream he was greatly pleased with this report. They next determined to analyze it. They put it into a crucible and tested it in various ways and then reported the result thus: "Fourteen parts selfishness; fifteen parts sectarianism; twenty-two parts ambition; twenty-three parts love to man; twenty-six parts love to God." Awakening he realized that it was but a dream, yet felt greatly humbled, and doubtless was profited by it throughout the remainder of life. That dream may be equally profitable to each of us in leading us to a close inspection of the motives which lie beyond our words and thoughts and doings--especially beyond our service for the Lord and for the brethren.
R3233 [col. 2 ¶4]:
As there are nominal Christians and real Christians, so there is a nominal love as well as a real love amongst those who profess the name of Christ, and it should be more and more the aim of the Lord's true people to cultivate his spirit, his character, his disposition, his love, his friendship; and that they may be able to cultivate these he has caused the Apostle to present to our attention a most graphic description o f the love which is from above. This description is given in 1 Cor. 1 3. It must be enjoyed to some extent by all who are New Creatures, for if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is non e of h is; but it will be increasingly enjoyed and appreciatingly understood in proportion as the Lord's people each become stronger in the Lord --copies of God' s dear Son --like him who is the friend above all others.

R3541 col. 1 ¶6- 8; R3566 col. 2 ¶10- 13; F150 ¶2
R3541 [col. 1 ¶6-8]:
Let us rejoice with those who rejoice! Let us be glad to note every evidence of reform in heart or conduct! But let us remember that conversion is the beginning and not the end of the Christian life. If these converts are now of "the household of faith," let us greet them as such and congratulate them and hope for their growth in grace and knowledge to the point where they will be ready for the next step,--full consecration.
The privilege and responsibility for the instruction of these lies at our door; for alas! most other Christians through lack of development are unable to assist these into right paths of faith and hope, not having found these for themselves,--being still bewildered by the fog and smoke of the "dark ages." Let us be as wise and kind and helpful as possible along these lines; and let us pray for the wisdom from above promised in our year-text.
Meantime let us stand fast in our uncompromising but kindly opposition to Churchianity, "Babylon," and our loyalty to the One Church of many members of which Christ is the Head. While repudiating sectarian systems as of the Adversary, let us fellowship as brethren all who trust in the precious blood and are consecrated to his service --no matter how imperfectly they discern the truth--hoping for the fuller opening of the eyes of their understanding soon.
R3566 [col. 2 ¶10-13]:
Every true Christian, that is every believer in the atonement, secured by the precious blood, who has consecrated his all to his Savior and is striving daily even though stumblingly to walk in his steps, has a duty toward the visible Church-- toward the fellow-members of the Church of Christ.
(1) He should recognize all such and that without partiality, loving and striving to serve them as "brethren" in deed and in doctrine.
(2) Should he find these "brethren" bound in sectarian "bundles" (Matt. 13:30) he should not join a "bundle" to please them and encourage them in their error; but standing fast in his liberty in Christ he should seek the deliverance of the "brethren." His duty is to lift up the standard and get the true wheat out of all the tare-bundles into the same liberty, in union with Christ, the only Head.
(3) If he cannot have full fellowship at first, he will be all the more in the position the Savior himself occupied before he got a faithful few delivered from Jewish bondage and error. He should be just as kind and helpful to opposing brethren as their wrong ideas and position will permit; and he should foster fellowship specially with those who more and more hear the voice of the Shepherd and come out of Babylon.
We have seen some of the Lord's consecrated people in a lean and starved condition--earnestly desiring a fulness of fellowship with him, yet lacking the necessary instruction as to how it should be attained and maintained. True, they had the Bible; but their attention was called away from that and they learned to look more to teachers and catechisms, etc., running after the traditions of men and not after the Mind or Spirit of God, and have, therefore, lacked the proper spiritual nourishment. The result has been that they have felt dissatisfied with formalism, and yet knew not how to draw nigh unto the Lord with their whole heart, because they knew not of his goodness and the riches of his grace in Christ Jesus, and of the grand plan of salvation for the world by and by, nor of the call of the Church to the New Nature. This starved condition needs, first of all, the pure, "sincere milk of the Word," and afterward the "strong meat" of the divine revelation. Such dear ones are not to be despised nor neglected even though, after realizing the emptiness of churchianity in general, they have been inclined to seek for something else to satisfy their heart-hunger--something of worldly entertainments, etc. We have known some of this class who had settled down to seeming indifference to spiritual things after having vainly tried in various directions to find some soul-satisfaction; but receiving "Present Truth" they blossomed forth in the spiritual graces and knowledge in a most remarkable manner. We believe there are many more of such in the various denominations, and that it is the privilege of those who have received the light of Present Truth to lend them a helping hand out of darkness into the marvelous light; out of spiritual starvation into a superabundance of grace and truth. But to be used of the Lord in blessing such, it is necessary that both wisdom and grace from on high be sought in the Word, and that these should be exercised kindly, faithfully and persistently.
34. How should brotherly kindness consider 'social obligations'?
35. What course will brotherly love dictate in the matter of 'borrowing and lending'?
36. How should brotherly love regard visiting, 'borrowing a neighbor's time '?
37. What is the relation between brotherly love and communism?
38. Do those who have reached 'the mark' still have trials along the line of brotherly love?
We must reach this climax of love before we can be counted worthy of a place in the New Creation, and we are not to expect that each one of the Lord's followers will reach this mark just at the moment of expiring in death. Quite the contrary. We are to expect to reach it as early as possible in our Christian experience, and then to remember the words of the Apostle, "Having done all-- Stand!" (Eph. 6:13) We require testings in love after we have reached the mark; and our exercises while at the mark--striving to maintain in our lives that mark, or standard--will be very strengthening to our characters. In this, especially, our experiences will correspond to those of our Lord; for while he did not need to run to attain the mark, he did need to fight a good fight of faith at the mark--not to be turned from it, not to be overcome by the various besetments of the world and the Adversary. "I press down upon the mark," says the Apostle; and so must each of us hold fast that mark after we do attain it, and see to it that in all the testings which the Lord permits to come upon us we shall be accounted of him as overcomers--not in our own strength, but in the strength of our Redeemer's assistance.
Besetments will come against us to turn us from the perfect love toward the Father, to induce us to consent to render less than the full homage and obedience due to him. Temptations will come to us in respect to the brethren also, to suggest that we do not permit love for the brethren to cover a multitude of faults-- suggestions that we become provoked with those whom we have learned to love and appreciate, and with whose weaknesses we have learned to sympathize. Besetments will come against us in respect to our enemies, after we have learned to love them--suggesting to us that there are exceptional cases and that our magnanimity toward them should have its limitations. Blessed are we if in these temptations we hold fast, bearing down upon the mark, striving to retain that position which we have already attained--fighting the good fight of faith --holding firmly to the eternal life which is counted ours through Jesus.
39. Why is brotherly love 'one of the final and most searching tests ' of the brethren and how may we prepare to meet it?
40. What should be 'the main- spring back of brotherly kindness'?
41. What does the illustration of 'the third- quarter mark' signify?
42. Why is it important that we manifest brotherly love now ?
43. How may we become members of 'the Mary class'?
44. How did Jesus show us a grand example of brotherly love and sympathy?
45. How can we fulfill Jesus' command to 'wash one another's feet'?
46. How jealously should we guard and increase this grace of brotherly kindness?
47. How may we cultivate brotherly love?
48. What additional thoughts are found in Topical Index of 'Heavenly Manna, ' under 'Love One Another'?

The cutouts in this vintage dress barely covered Kim's chest. 1
She wore this black vintage Thierry Mugler dress in February 2019, leaving little to the imagination. Some fans believed that Kim's voluptuous curves were spilling out of the dress a little too much.
This sheer catsuit was insane! 2
This was designed by Azzedine Alaïa, and Kim honestly looked amazing. It was a bit risqué, since the flash from the cameras made the outfit even more sheer, and you could see practically everything.
Kim looked amazing in this dress. 3
Her waist looked tiny in another Thierry Mugler gown that raised some eyebrows.
Fabric that is both sheer and sparkly is totally Kim. 5
She held together this barely there gown with her hands during a recent fitting.
Kim has the naked futuristic look on lock. 6
It's hard to believe that Kanye isn't a fan of her naked moments.
The higher the slit, the better, in Kim's book. 7
She sizzled in this neon number in Miami in summer 2018.
A top or a bra isn't required under a blazer. 8
Kim probably has a lifetime supply of double-sided tape in her possession.
That sheer pink shimmery dress showed everything. 9
Considering she was promoting her new fragrance, we're not surprised she decided to go big or go home on this one.
The reality TV star went braless in a short trench coat. 11
Kim wore a blazer as a dress to the opening of the Vivienne Westwood flagship store during New York Fashion Week.
Kim wore a cutout dress that revealed tons of skin. 12
The sexy LBD showed off her amazing curves and rock-hard abs while complementing her new blond 'do.
Sheer tops are a no-brainer for Kim. 13
She was seen wearing a sheer top (with no bra) paired with camo shorts. Listen, if it makes her happy, who are we to question it?
She has even doubled down and worn a sheer bra as a shirt. 14
Kim was spotted wearing nothing but a sheer bra under an open blazer paired with velvet leggings and transparent heels. She worked it, though.
She legit wore a transparent plastic dress. 15
What's even more mind-blowing is how she strategically placed the trench coat to cover her nipples. Even if you hate the outfit, you have to give her props at least for that!
She's worn lingerie as regular clothes. 16
But she somehow manages to always make it look so chic. How does she do this?
Sheer white dresses are a staple for Kim. 18
She wore a very similar one while filming a cameo for the movie Ocean's 8.
She loves crop tops. 19
Especially the sheer ones.
The bottom line is, if it's sheer, she'll wear it. 20
She rocked a sheer black dress that revealed her undergarments at a restaurant in West Hollywood while filming an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Sometimes her sheer fashion gives us goth vibes. 21
This outfit felt so '90s, so badass, and so sexy, all at the same time. There was a lot going on in the crotch area, though.
And of course, Kim is a big fan of latex. 22
She showed off her amazing bod in a skintight latex body-con dress at the Hype Event in Nashville in 2015, looking all kinds of hot.
She wears latex leggings. 23
Only Kim can walk out in a pair of nude-colored latex leggings with a matching sports bra and still look dope. Only Kim.
Kim doesn't always wear clothes. 25
Like that time she stepped out of the house in only a trench coat and thigh-high boots. Yes, that really happened.
She's totally fine showing nipples. 26
She legit left the house once in a totally transparent bodysuit paired with jogging pants.
She also showed off her nipples in a tight metallic dress. 27
Kim is all about ditching the bra and embracing the nips, because why the hell not?
Only Kim can make a tattered fishnet top look so fashionable. 28
She can officially pull off any look after this one.
Kim must have a drawer full of sheer black bodysuits. 29
They are one of her go-to items.
She's cool showing off her bikini line, too. 30
How can we forget that bodysuit-dress situation she wore while out with husband Kanye West in Miami? You could see everything from her boobs to her bikini line. Talk about turning heads!
Sometimes her sexy is a little more subtle. 32
That sheer black number she wore to the Harper's Bazaar Celebrates Icons by Carine Roitfeld in NYC was more modest than what we usually see her wear. And yes, this is modest for Kim.
Nude illusion ranks high on Kim's list of clothing preferences. 33
This Roberto Cavalli dress she wore in 2016 was a work of art.
This dress left very little to the imagination. 34
That is just how Kim likes it.

Strong Sisters: An upcoming film on women and Colorado politics
Colorado has yet to elect a female governor or U.S. senator or mayor of Denver, a Centennial State trend that an upcoming documentary film "Strong Sisters" will explore.
Among the more than 60 women interviewed for the project was former House Majority Leader Amy Stephens, a Monument Republican who briefly ran for the U.S. Senate in 2014. She was so impressed with the work she is helping raise money to turn the oral histories into a documentary with hopes of getting it aired on TV.
"I want us to cross the finish line," said Stephens, now director of government affairs for McKenna Long & Alrdrige law firm, which sponsored the luncheon. "This is a history of women in Colorado, particularly those who dare to run for office."
More than 100 people RSVP'd to a fundraising luncheon Monday for "Strong Sisters," which was held at the Artwork Network on Santa Fe Drive. Most of the lawmakers who had committed to attend were unable to get away from the Capitol.
For the last two years, filmmakers Meg Froelich and Laura Hoeppner conducted interviews and did research on women in Colorado, particularly Colorado politics.
Former First Lady Dottie Lamm, who ran for the U.S. Senate in 1996, said the fact that a woman is running for president this cycle means it's perfect timing to air a film about women in Colorado.
In 1893 Colorado gave women the right to vote, the first time in history that women's suffrage was granted through a popular vote. The very next year voters sent three women to the state House of Representatives — the first women anywhere in the world elected to a parliamentary body. Now, 41 percent of state lawmakers in Colorado are women. The state has led the nation in the percentage of women lawmakers for more than a decade.
Among those at the luncheon were former First Lady Frances Owens, a Republican; former Democratic state treasurer Cary Kennedy, who now is deputy mayor of Denver; former state Sen. Moe Keller, a Wheat Ridge Democrat; and Republican Michelle Balch Lyng, who operates a communications firm.

Until God changes our current situation, let's stand in faith, on Philippians 4:11-12, Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Contentment – An uncomplaining acceptance of one's share
Contentment opposed to:
Anxiety – Matthew 6:25, 34
Murmuring – 1 Corinthians 10:10
Greed – Hebrews 13:5
Envy – James 3:16
Contentment shown by our recognition of:
Our unworthiness – Genesis 32:10
Our trust – Hebrews 3:17-19
God's care – Psalms 145:7-21
God's provisions – 1 Timothy 6:6-8
God's promises – Hebrews 13:5
God bless you, my friends and keep the faith! 😀

Buffy The Vampire Slayer(first draft)
I'm re-posting this because I liked this first version better...before I darkened the pencils up. (note: done in Comic Book style).
pencil recreations 4 Mar 2016
Hi Cpt....No don't give up your style is your style and that makes your artwork different and difference is what viewing pleasure is all about ...My work can gets busy with shading but I feel it is necessary for portraits for depth, where as you say comic book art gets inkers and colourist...No your work is different, as every ones perception is and I like your style and your ability to capture likeness ..."Stay with it ".......
CptShaw 17 Jun 2015
Ok, I give up...I'll post no more comic book style art on this site. Most people don't seem to understand that in a comic book the Penciler isn't suppose to do over shaded pencils, because you've got to leave something for the Inker and colorist...GEEZ! :(
Anonymous 17 Jun 2015
this is a magnificent artwork, it needs more shades , but still gorgeous
Anonymous 17 Jun 2015
Your pencil lines are well done and smooth in this! Perhaps blending them a little to soften or spread shadows would help out your technique, but otherwise, you're on a great road for portraits!

Ambassador Carlsson highlighted the positive and concrete impact of the High-Level Platform, launched earlier this summer, for regular exchange of views between the European Union, its businesses and the Kazakh Government. He also highlighted the EU funded programmes that shortly will be launched or are ongoing, in the areas of trade facilitation, the rule of law and the financing of small and medium enterprises.
Participants discussed cooperation on the investment climate and business environment, including recent and planned legislation in the areas of environment protection, currency regulations and control, and import of agricultural machinery.
The first meeting of the High-Level Platform took place on 1 July and provided an opportunity to discuss cooperation on reducing technical barriers to trade, notably in the agro-food sector. Other issues discussed related to tax legislation in particular prospects for decriminalisation of tax offences.
EU is Kazakhstan's first trading partner and represents more than half of foreign direct investment in Kazakhstan. With the EU-Kazakhstan Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (EPCA), the EU and Kazakhstan have developed a framework for further strengthening trade and economic relations. The EU supports Kazakhstan's ambitious reform and modernisation processes, including the improvement of the business climate.
The Platform of dialogue at high level complements the technical dialogue between the EU and Kazakhstan within EPCA, in particular the Cooperation Committee in Trade Configuration, which took place in Nur-Sultan on 30 September, as well as the Customs Sub-Committee which took place in Nur-Sultan on 1 October.
Background Information
The EU is Kazakhstan's first trade partner representing over one third of its external trade and over half of total foreign direct investment in Kazakhstan. With over 75% of oil exports going to the EU (representing approx. 6% of total EU imports), Kazakhstan is already the third largest non-member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries supplier for the EU. From the EU Kazakhstan imports machinery, transport equipment and pharmaceuticals, alongside chemical products, plastics, medical devices and furniture. The EU-Kazakhstan Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, signed in Nur-Sultan on 21 December 2015 and provisionally application since 1 May 2016, aims at creating a better regulatory environment for businesses in areas such as trade in services, establishment and operation of companies, capital movements, raw materials and energy, intellectual property rights. It is a tool of regulatory convergence between Kazakhstan and the EU, with some "WTO plus" provisions, notably on public procurement.

Smear preparations at intraoperative consult during stereotactic biopsy showed that the tumor was composed of isomorphous cells containing round nuclei with fine "salt and pepper" chromatin. The background was composed of a fine fibrillary network in a mucinous matrix. Paraffin-embedded material of very small biopsy specimens showed that these cells were partially arranged as columnar structures. Also, two scattered ganglioid cells with vesicular nuclei were present. No mitotic figures or necroses were observed. Fine capillaries without endothelial hyperplasia or proliferation were moderate in amount. Bodian's silver impregnation demonstrated fine neuritic processes.
The microsurgically resected material was composed of several glassy specimens that, together, measured 1.5 cm in diameter. H&E stained sections demonstrated fascicles of small cells with round, uniform nuclei within a mucinous, microcystic matrix. Neurons of varying size scattered randomly and "floating" unaccompanied in the matrix are highlighted by immunohistochemistry for neurofilaments. A few particles contained areas with numerous Rosenthal fibers.

Cintasenese Tuscan Pigs Make the Best Lardo Ever!
According to Harriet and Bob's friend Roberto, it takes 18 months to properly cure lardo. He takes about a 2 1/2″ strip of back fat, seasons it in rosemary, bay, herbs, spices, and lots of salt. He then places it in the marble vat and weights it down with marble bricks. The salt draws the moisture out of it, thus the liquid in the vat! The end product is heavenly!read more

Producing Quality Wines in a Coastal Climate
Why even try to grow grapes so close to the coast?? With my Swiss Italian heritage, there have been grapes on the property since my grandfather's time for "personal consumption". In those days, that was defined by law as 200 gallons per year, per person. You can do the math.

The new #Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (#Note7) has an enormous battery but there's a chance it will explode or set your phone ablaze. The fact is Samsung already issued an official statement confirming there were already 35 reported cases wherein the the units either exploded or caught fire during or after charging.
The company has yet to identify which batch is faulty but until then, owners can never be sure the safety of their units. While 35 is quite a small number out of 2.5 million units shipped worldwide, you can never really rule out the possibility that you may wake up one day with your unit smoking hot.
Then, there's the possibility that the unit may explode or catch fire while you're sleeping or while you're holding it and may cause more serious safety hazards. There is something you can do to prevent it from happening…
Tip #1: Closely observe your phone while charging
Reports suggest that Note7 may explode or catch fire during or after charging. Samsung said to investigate on the problem to know the reason why it happens but we can't wait for the results of the investigation considering the fact that it's your own safety that's at stake here.
Here's a simple logic; phones develop heat while charging, too much heat may cause explosion or fire. If you can just prevent the phone from developing too much heat while charging, then you can prevent those situations. That being said, there are things you can do to keep heat in check during charge:
- Turn off your phone if you want to fast charge or planning to leave it plugged in while you run your errands.
- Don't use the phone or play games while it's plugged in.
- Place it in a cool (not hot) place during charge.
- Take off those third-party cases.
- Use the original charger and cable.
I understand that doing these things mean you're walking an extra mile when you shouldn't be considering you paid several hundred dollars for a premium phone. It should work without a hitch but there are things that even manufacturers can't control and this is one of them.
So, while charging, try to feel the phone with your fingers to know if it's heating up too much. Normally, the phone will heat up while plugged in but not to the point where you feel uncomfortable touching it. So, if this is case, unplug the charger immediately and if your phone is powered on, turn it off. Don't attempt to charge your phone again.
Tip #2: Have the phone replaced
When it comes to safety, there should never be any compromise. If the phone is heating up while charging, bring the phone back to the store and have it replaced. Here in the U.S., the Big Four already advised their subscribers who own the new Note 7, or at least, you rest assured your phone will be replaced no questions asked.
AT&T: Samsung has notified us that they have identified a battery cell issue in certain Galaxy Note7s. They have asked all retailers, including AT&T, to stop selling the device. We are in the process of determining the exchange process for our customers and how they can replace their current Note7 as quickly as possible. We will have more information later today.
Verizon Wireless: Samsung has notified us that they have identified a battery cell issue in certain Galaxy Note7s. They have asked all retailers, including AT&T, to stop selling the device. We are in the process of determining the exchange process for our customers and how they can replace their current Note7 as quickly as possible. We will have more information later today.
T-Mobile: Starting immediately, customers who are concerned about using the Note 7 can return the device to T-Mobile for a full, complete refund. They'll get a full refund of anything paid for the device and any Note7 accessories. We'll waive any restocking charges and shipping fees, and customers can keep the free Netflix subscription they received with purchase during pre-order.
Customers can visit their local T-Mobile store where they bought the device or call 611 or 1-800-937-8997 to do this, and they can then use their refund to choose a similar device or any device in T-Moble's stores, including a new Note7 replacement which we expect to be available in the next two weeks.
Sprint: Sprint has suspended sales of Samsung Galaxy Note7 immediately following Samsung's announcement to discontinue sales of the device globally.
We are working closely with Samsung to ensure those customers who already have purchased the device are taken care of. For those customers that previously purchased the Note 7 we will offer them a similar device until the issue is resolved. Customers should go to a nearby Sprint store to exchange their Note 7 device.
The bottom line is that you don't need to take any chances when it comes to this matter especially that your safety is at stake here. Don't wait for your device to actually catch fire before you something about it. While we understand it's a hassle and we don't know yet if you will be provided with a new device immediately considering Samsung is still investigating whether it's just an issue with some devices that belong to the same batch or not.
