Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) said it has uncovered accounting misconduct at a unit of China's ERA Mining Machinery Ltd., which the U.S. machinery manufacturer acquired last year.
An internal probe at Caterpillar revealed that several managers at Zhengzhou Siwei Mechanical & Electrical Manufacturing Co., or Siwei, engaged in deliberate misconduct beginning several years prior to the acquisition.
The misconduct will result in a noncash goodwill impairment charge of about $580 million, or 87 cents a share, in the fourth quarter of 2012, the company said.
Caterpillar said it has removed several senior managers at Siwei who were responsible for the misconduct and installed a new leadership team there. The responsibilities for Siwei manufacturing operations have been moved to Caterpillar's China operations division, led by Vice President Qihua Chen, while its sales and support team will report to Kebao Yang, Caterpillar's global mining general manager for China and Korea.
"The actions carried out by these individuals are offensive and completely unacceptable. This conduct does not represent, in any way, shape or form, the way Caterpillar does business or how we expect our employees to work, which is spelled out in Caterpillar's worldwide code of conduct," said Caterpillar Chief Executive Doug Oberhelman in a statement.
Steve Wunning, Caterpillar group president with responsibility for resource industries, said the company still believes the Siwei acquisition is well aligned with company strategy to grow in the Chinese coal mining industry.
Caterpillar, which said its investigation is ongoing, closed on its purchase of ERA Mining in June, after winning Chinese regulatory approval for the roughly $887 million deal. The approval came after ERA warned that its profits were weighed down by higher finance costs, as state-controlled rivals had access to cheaper steel.
Last month, sales of Caterpillar construction and mining equipment were reported to have grown 5% world-wide in the three months to the end of November, as sales in North America cooled significantly from the October period. It was the 30th straight three-month period of retail-sales expansion for the world's largest seller of bulldozers, excavators and wheel loaders.
But the growth rate has been easing in recent months, as tougher year-earlier comparisons, rising inventories of unsold equipment and deteriorating economic conditions, particularly in Europe, put pressure on sales expansion. Caterpillar has slowed production to avoid a machinery glut by temporarily idling some assembly plants.
Shares slipped 1.4% to $96.25 after hours. The stock is up 18% over the past six months.

Sources: HCJB Global, Baptist Haiti Mission, World Gospel Mission, Associated Press, BBC
A 5.9-strength aftershock early Wednesday, collapsing already-damaged buildings, but the HCJB Global Hands emergency medical team working at the Baptist Haiti Mission (BHM) hospital in Port-au-Prince reported they're all fine.
The seven-member team continues working 12-hour surgical shifts, treating those injured in the Jan. 12 quake that devastated Haiti's capital.
The powerful aftershock, centered about 35 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, sent Haitians screaming into the streets, collapsing buildings, cracking roads and adding to the trauma of a nation stunned by an apocalyptic quake eight days ago. At least one woman, traumatized by the aftershock, died of a heart attack in Port-au-Prince. The jolt matched the strongest of the tremors since the original 7.0-magnitude quake.
The multi-specialty team, working in conjunction with Samaritan's Purse, a North Carolina-based Christian aid group, arrived Friday, Jan. 15, from Ecuador. While two surgeons, an anesthesiologist, a nurse and two family physicians have worked at the hospital with the BHM staff, water engineer Martin Harrison set up a Water Missions International (WMI) filtration plant that is now chlorinating pond water for use at the hospital compound.
"Supplies are now improving as the WMI unit produces 10,000 gallons of drinking water per day at full output," Harrison said. "We are taking water from a fishpond of all places, passing this through the WMI water filter and filling a cistern beneath the hospital."
Family physician Steve Nelson said the team is giving priority to the most severe cases. "We non-surgical types were out on the floors trying to triage which cases were most likely to get complicated if left longer," he explained. "Sepsis, infected compound fractures and little kids made up our priority list." With more complicated cases, the surgical workers totaled 15 operations in one day, finishing after midnight.
"They are not seeing any simple breaks or fractures," Kyrk Baker, the hospital administrator, said of the surgical teams. "Many bones are crushed, making surgeries very difficult. They are also seeing a lot of infections. Many people have waited to come to the hospital and as a result they are having to do amputations." Infectious diseases have not shown up yet, according to a BBC report, but tetanus and gangrene are a threat to the injured.
Several days after HCJB Global's team arrived, another 17 physicians and nurses arrived from Samaritan's Purse. Upon staffing a second operating room, the 100-bed hospital can now treat more injured Haitians.
In spite of limitations on fuel, water and Internet connection, the team members' contact with their families in Ecuador has been constant. Missionary Kim Barton said from Shell, Ecuador, that her husband, Paul, "mentioned the aftershock because it woke him up. He was calling to try to find more tetanus [vaccine]." The Bartons serve at HCJB Global's jungle hospital in Shell where Paul is an anesthesiologist and his wife, Kim, is a pediatrician.
Also from the Shell hospital, German surgeon Eckehart Wolff lay on a surgery table to donate his own blood to a patient named Alexis who was suffering from severe internal abdominal bleeding. "The lady was stable this morning; however, sadly, she died this afternoon. She must have been crushed by something in the quake," said Harrison.
There is joy amid such suffering, Nelson said, recounting how family physician Marcos Nelson's patient, a young girl, began to sing even as the physician cleaned her wound. Anesthetized from pain but still conscious, the girl had a wound that revealed something serious enough for her to be placed first on the list for the next morning.
"Then we all heard her start singing," Steve Nelson related, "first in sort of a low voice and later stronger … and it seemed happier! It was in Creole, so of course none of the Spanish and English speakers could know what she was saying … but a translator brightened up nearby and said she is singing, 'I am saved, I am saved, I am saved!'"
The aftershock also rattled the nerves of people at partner ministry Radio Lumière, which only suffered minor damage in the original quake, although three of the staff members were killed while they were away from the station.
"Everyone there was OK [following the aftershock]," said Timothy Rickel, vice president of communication at World Gospel Mission (WGM). "Most people are sleeping outdoors anyway."
WGM engineer Paul Shingledecker helped put the station back on the air Sunday, Jan. 17, enabling the Radio Lumière to aid in communications and send out a message of hope to beleaguered Haitians.
"There is no city power, and it will be some time before there will be any," Shingledecker added. "I've seen lines down all over the city, including major high-tension lines. The station is entirely dependent on back-up generators. Some diesel is available, though not a lot yet. But money to buy it is the major factor."
A call to Radio Lumière's satellite service produced wider bandwidth for the station to stream audio on the Internet. "This is a major praise," said Rickel.
An HCJB Global engineer and others working at Radio Lumière when the Jan. 12 quake struck decided to "ride out the earthquake in the building," according to David Russell who heads the HCJB Global Technology Center in Indiana.
Alan Good had traveled to Haiti on Jan. 6 to work on the station's FM, Stereo 92. "He spent two nights there following the quake, awaiting news from his Haitian host family," Russell said. "It turned out that they also escaped injury."
With help from a Mission Aviation Fellowship pilot, Good re-established contact with Russell and was flown back to the U.S. on Sunday.

How far would someone go, for their Love?
How far would someone go, for their Love? Let's see how far our hero – SKR, goes, for his love!
The heroine, KLJ, was brought up 'traditionally' in the UK, by her strict father Amrish Chapatti. She wants to 'live' life to the fullest, but her father wants to get her married. Somehow, KLJ convinces her father to send her on a Europe trip (presumably with her girlfriends), before she (has to) marry and settle down in India.
Right on the first day, nah… the first minute of her journey, she meets the hero – SKR, who slowly impresses her during the course of the trip. She mostly travels with him (due to circumstances). Then she is back to home and realizes that she has found her 'true' love. But father comes to know and quickly moves her to India and makes arrangements for the marriage. KLJ is so sad, until she hears a song (that was sung from a long distance away, without any kind of mic!!) –
"When I see you I Realize Darling, that Love is Crazy Darling…"
They dance and SKR crashes into the wedding party, as a (newfound) friend of the villain (well, one of the villains anyway). Thereupon, he works very very very hard to impress each and every member of the ladki-wale. No one escapes his to-be-impressed list, and he does all that with seasoned flair and perfection, much to KLJ's delight.
Eventually, the 'real' motive of SKR is discovered, and there is a fight in the railway station. He beats off everyone, but he is just not able to hit the girl's father – Amrish Chapatti. He then renounces KLJ and boards the train to go back to UK*. But KLJ is in no mood to leave him and she pleads with her father (while dragging her hand towards the train). Her father finally relents – "Go live your life," he says while leaving her hand.
Someone plays some cool background music, and KLJ runs in slow motion to reach the hand of SRK, who's near the door of the train, that starts moving by now. SKR catches KLJ's hand and everyone thinks he is going to help her get inside the train.
But he pushes her out.
KJL falls down on the platform and looks towards SKR in the moving train, who by now removes a black cooling glass from his pocket and wears it. He smiles at her. She is in tears. No one is able to understand why he does this, especially after all his extra-human efforts.
After a few days, KLJ receives a mail from SKR (not an email, a LETTER – read properly).
Dear KLJ,
I know, you should be shocked and upset about my behaviour on that day when I pushed you to the platform, when I could have lifted you in. I think, at the least, you deserve to know why I did it.
I am an author. I write romance novels. None of my novels has clicked with the editors until now. They all tell me the same thing – my stories are hopeless because they are just not realistic enough. I was very upset and desperate to succeed as an author.
That's when I found you, and I simultaneously found an original & realistic love story. I waited until there was a positive ending to it. So, I did everything possible to that end. Finally, on that day, your father accepted our love story, and I found what I was looking for! That's why I pushed you out of the train. I hope you understand that our relationship was a part of my professional research, nothing personal.
Yours – SKR.
She was just not able to believe how far he went, for his love ~ novel-writing 😀
Destination Infinity
* He starts his journey from India to UK on a Train, but eventually will travel in a British Airways flight. Why BA, and not Air India or anything else? Because this article has been written for an indiBlogger contest sponsored by British Airways 🙂
** Resemblance to some movie released in 1995 is purely intentional 😉
*** If you are in the mood to see an ***emotional*** advertisement by British Airways, here it is –

That was one great script though the end was unexpected and the ad by BA was truly emotional.There is the inimitable DI touch in the post.Best wishes!!
Great story. Loved it. But British Airways is one the worst airlines. They go out of their way not to give basic customer service.
Avada Kedavra
Hahaha loved it. Loved the twist at the end 😛 I saw this ad on Facebook earlier.
Till temple. Confident that it is easy.
Do not believe in third person blessings. Amrish Puri was acting big by asking her daughter to go away. Your hero was a bit too much to digest though.
Rachna Chhabria
Haha, loved it. Thanks for sharing.
Btw…how is your writing going Rajesh? Any luck in finding a free-lance editor?
nice movie
i guess such 'old' hit movies are there in all languages…
things would be much different if releasing today
Shilpa Garg
Liked the twist in the tale. I find the BA ad a bit weird, while rest of the world is going gaga over the emotional tale.
Good luck for the contest!
Nahhiiiiii nahhiiii poor KLJ … interesting twist though … I agree with shilpa BA adds are a little high on emotional end…

Window Farms
Window FarmsJan 21
Starting a farm is really hard, especially in an urban neighborhood. Starting a garden is easier, but still requires land, time, money and some starting knowledge. But starting a Window Farm? That actually seems pretty easy.
This is a great idea for someone who is only renting, or someone who owns but doesn't have much land. It would also be great in an office window. It's basically just a miniature hydroponic system, which means it's pretty much maintenance free once you set it up. I think I'm gong to try building one to put in my office…
You can find the plans for two different systems here: Build your own system.

Great restaurants are of a place.
They are an integral component in their regional eco-culinary oeno-system.
They cannot, and should not, be considered separate – or separately – from their immediate environment.
They are a thread in fabric, a note on a stave, a rhyme in a line, a dab on a canvas, a soul amongst the ten thousand things.
And we hold these truths to be self-evident.
Yet the times, are they a-changin'?
Consider the rise of the celebrity chef, the ever-expanding dominance of the chains, the collective post-globalist homogenization of the cultural landscape.
What does all this potentially mean for the great restaurants of place?
One of the most pleasurable aspects of my #RidgeSomms pre-event research has been the opportunity to explore the restaurants and regions of origin for our guests, and what I have found time and time again is that the great restaurants of place are not only not going extinct, they are in fact thriving.
This seems, more often than that, to be continually made most possible by the passions of, and the support for, homegrown talent. Local boys and girls are growin' up culinary, and they're finding homes in their home cities, counties, states, and regions.
One of the most outstanding examples of this is June Rodil. She's Texas, she's Austin, and she's awesome.
And because her story has SO MUCH to do with Texas, and with Austin, who better to help us learn her story than a Texas wine blogger?
And with that, it is my great pleasure to introduce to you: SAHMmelier!
After spending years in the classroom, Stay-at Home-Mom Alissa Leenher combined her love of education and wine and started SAHMmelier. Now, between the laundry and dishes, Alissa dishes about wine, food, local events, usually seasoned with a pinch of introspection and all things SAHM. Although she does not have formal Sommelier training, she enjoys learning about the industry while attempting to juggle all that her husband, daughter, and son throw at her. It is no wonder why she enjoys a glass, or two, of wine. Originally from Upstate New York, Alissa resides in Austin, Texas.
Alissa epitomizes the passionate Citizen Blogger cynosure, to be sure, but she also brings true journalistic discipline to her oeno-literary endeavors, and she's drawn on all this and more to bring together a fantastic post highlighting June Rodil, and her new restaurant venture in Austin: Qui.
Here is an excerpt from the SAHMmelier post on June Rodil:
From the Driskill, she went to Uchi to work under Tyson Cole, another star in Austin and in the national realm. She then returned to fine dining with David Bull at his next endeavor, Congress. So where does one go from there? To work with Top Chef winner Paul Qui, of course.
Qui, which will open this Spring, is one of the most anticipated restaurants in Austin right now. Paul is currently involved in East Side Kings, which will continue serving creative cuisine to the trailer crowd. Qui will take it up a notch (or three) with his flagship restaurant. Rodil will be in charge of pairing his eclectic menu with wines and spirits.
June Rodil is no stranger to awards. She's been named "Texas's Best Sommelier" by Texas Sommelier Association, Rising Star Sommelier, and Best New Sommelier in 2011 by the Wine and Food Foundation of Texas. This month, she has also been chosen, along with eleven other Sommeliers, to attend the 2013 Sommelier Symposium at Ridge Vineyards.
To read the full post, please click here: May Looks Great For June.
And to find June Rodil in the Social-Sphere, check her -and Qui- out on Twitter:
We're absolutely thrilled that June will be joining us for #RidgeSomms, and we can't thank Alissa enough for helping us to get an authentic sense of where June is -quite literally- coming from.
If June and Alissa are any indication of the true oeno-culinary Powers of Austin on offer in the Lone Star State, then all of us at Ridge Vineyards are sure to be raising a true Texas Toast come Monday!
And with that, we invite you to join June Rodil and all the other luminaries that make up the cast of #RidgeSomms, for an extraordinary two days of all things Ridge, and wine, and food, and Ridge!
Ridge Vineyards Sommelier Symposium, 2013
May 20th & 21st, 2013

While I don't necessarily condone videogame to film adaptations, I can at least understand how they might work. Max Payne, Prince of Persia, Doom -- all games with strong enough narrative to keep people in their seats for at least long enough to tear through a bucket of popcorn.
OK, so maybe not Doom ... but Spore? According to Will Wright, a film birthed from the Spore universe is not completely out of the question.
"With Spore, we're looking way outside the game space, such as TV, movies, etc.," he told Reuters during an Asian press tour. "We're basically planting the seeds to spread it out to a much wider group of people than would ever play a computer game."
I'm not even going to attempt to imagine what a Spore movie could look like (note: OK, I already did -- see above image). But here's something to think about: with both Wright and EA clearly open to expanding the Spore franchise (currently only slated to hit PC, Nintendo DS, iPhones, and eventually the Wii), how long before we see it on the PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3?
It truly doesn't look like anyone is going to miss out on Spore fever, does it?

Be part of history in the making at the Boutique Farm Festival @ Tweefontein Melkery. 25-27 January, 2019 – #BFF2019:
REMOVE ME: Mahala
Johannesburg 19 January 2019 – You definitely don't want to miss out on the best way to kick off 2019!
If you're a cool cat, you will know about Woodstock! In the summer of 1969 Woodstock made history through its three day music festival, which was held on a dairy farm in the Catskill Mountains, northwest of New York City. The festival attracted more than 400, 000 people, who gathered in the name of peace and music.
It was unexpected and at the same time, gave rise to the notion that human beings are inherently good and peace loving; and music is the food that feeds such souls – plus, we all need a day or three out of the city.
Boutique Farm Festival 2019 (#BFF2019) offers you just that – a three day festival with more than 20 of South Africa's greatest music acts, hosted at the Tweefontein Melkery farm, conveniently located just off the R21 between Pretoria and Kempton Park.
Unlike Woodstock, we want to manage expectations and are starting out small. We have made 400 tickets available to the public, which includes free camping for three (3) days and to ensure your comfort, we promise you enough showers and toilets.
Bring your friends, your tents and get ready for an unforgettable three day weekend from the 25th to the 27th January, 2019.#BFF2019 brings you a three day festival of 20 of South Africa's greatest music acts, hosted at the Tweefontein Melkery farm, conveniently located just off the R21 between Pretoria and Kempton Park.
We want you to be part of the best crowd the bands could ever hope for but we also want to ensure your comfort, hence we are only making 400 tickets available. This includes free camping for the 3 days, so bring your own tents.
Buy your tickets @ https://tickets.tixsa.co.za/event/boutique-farm-festival-2019
R375 per person or R555 per person including festival shirt.
No under 18s.
No day tickets.
Some good news! We have decided to reserve a limited amount of walk-in tickets at the gate at R400 each! Save yourself R25 by ordering your ticket online!

Ministerial Steering Group on Chronic Pain - Minutes
The Ministerial Steering Group (MSG) on Chronic Pain – Chaired by Scottish Ministers - was established in November 2014. In 2017 it was decided that following the establishment of the National Advisory Committee for Chronic Pain, the functions of the Ministerial Steering Group would be transferred into the new Committee. Therefore, the final meeting of the Ministerial Steering Group took place on 28 June 2017.
Role & Remit
The original remit (2014) was to provide leadership and direction to support improvement in NHSScotland's chronic pain services by:
* As the NCPIG disbanded in March 2016, the National Advisory Committee for Chronic Pain was established to take over all of the other functions listed above
The MSG membership comprised of the National Lead Clinician for Chronic Pain, the National Chronic Pain Co-ordinator, patient members and the Director of NHS National Services Scotland's National Services Division.
The MSG was also supported by Scottish Government officials from the Strategic Planning and Clinical Priorities team. Additionally, the group invited along other key individuals to discuss agenda items or present various topics.

The recipients of the 2014 Victim Services Awards of Distinction are:
Josée Bibeau, Peterborough

Her perspective on the lasting impact of the words, actions and processes of police officers on victims has helped the officers better prepare for the incidents they attend.

What we need is to find one of the one in a million people (last time I check the global achievement stats .3% had gotten the achievement!) that didnt have Egil die in that scene and figure out the choices they made. I am wondering if maybe the solution isn't doing well but losing so many people that losing Egil then would drop you below a full roster and TBS doesnt let the event do that to you...?
That or some sort of very obscure decision far in the past must be deciding this.
EDIT: I will be replaying and seeing if Onef can be kept from joining the party. I thought he autojoined but cant really remember so far back.

New M-ATVs ready to deploy to Afghanistan
The new light-weight MRAP-type vehicles will be deployed beginning next month:
The vehicles have a blast-resistant V-shaped hull and are designed to provide MRAP-level protection for troops while offering more mobility than existing MRAPs, which can weigh between 32,000 and 45,000 pounds when empty. The new vehicles are smaller and weigh less than 25,000 pounds, making them more useful in Afghanistan's uneven, rural terrain.
The initial MRAP deliveries will be made about three months after Army Tank-Automotive and Armament Command signed a $1.05 billion contract with Wisconsin-based Oshkosh Defense to supply 2,244 vehicles. Since then, the requirement for M-ATVs has tripled to 6,644 vehicles, and contracts have been awarded for 4,321, with additional buys expected soon, Irwin said.

Eureka: Sight Unseen
After last week's stupid scientists tricks episode, I was a bit skeptical about this week's invisible man episode. I was impressed with the handling of the invisibility theme. The science of it was glossed over but the episode was still enjoyable. I liked the mention of the moon rocks and how people that think they've seen moon rocks have seen fake ones. My problem with the moon rocks is that they seemed to make a big deal out of them at the beginning of the episode only to drop it. Also, on first look, this episode seems like a filler. It was and wasn't. We find out more about Allison's son and how he was changed. Henry reveals what he know about Kim's death to Nathan and gives him the evidence. I think this will bite Henry in that cute bum of his but this was a HUGE step in the story. Zoe drives alone for her first time and has a passionate kiss with a guy from class. Sure Lupo throws him in the clink for it but it was worth it. It was mentioned in earlier articles that the Nathan/Allison/Jack love triangle was going to have a definite conclusion at the end of this season. I think the first appearance of Callie as Jack's new love interest is the beginning of the end for the Allison/Jack thing. Callie's introduction felt a bit forced but I like her. There was a lot of information to process in this episode. Next to all of those developments, the invisibility theme seemed like a B story.
Next week: Eureka hit by a biblical plague? Science and religion. This ought to be good.

GoPro HD HERO Helmet Camera | Power User Tips, Features, and Video Clips
GoPro HD HERO Helmet Camera – The Best HD Helmet Camera
I use my GoPro HD HERO camera for recording videos for a number of different activities, including but not limited to the following:
- Alpine Skiing
- Snowmobiling
- Motorcycling
Here's a simple unedited video clip from my GoPro HD HERO. All I did was flip it on using the one button video record feature. There is no fussing around with this helmet camera. It's super easy to use aand takes awesome quality video right out of the box.
The GoPro HD HERO feature set is amazing. The one button record makes this camera a snap to use for capturing high definition video while recording your favorite activities. To turn on the GoPro HERO HD helmet camera and begin recording using your preferred video capture settings, all you need to do is press one button. To turn it off, again, same button, one click.
This is an absolute MUST HAVE feature of any hd helmet camera. The last thing you want to have to deal with is fumbling around with a quirky interface on the ski slopes with your gloves on, or snowmobiling with your gloves on, or motorcycling with your gloves on. With your gloves on, get it? HD helmet cameras are small and not very easy to use unless they have a good simple layout, easy to feel buttons and one touch features like the GoPro HD HERO.
In my opinion, the GoPro HD HERO Helmet Camera is by far the best HD helmet camera you can buy.
Check out the GoPro HD HERO Features, Power User Tips, Skiing Videos and still photos from my GoPro HD HERO helmet camera to get a good idea of what this camera can do with very little setup and learning time.

Scripture Text: Matthew 5:10-12
Introductory Comments
This week, while so many in our country were enjoying Thanksgiving and shopping, great blessings of liberty granted by to us as undeserved gifts from God, I spent some time in preparation for this sermon looking through news stories posted at a website of the organization "The Voice of the Martyrs" (at www.persecution.org). Before I share them, I want to let you know that these difficult stories are not something we are used to hearing. But I think we need to hear them, because Christians globally are part of the same body. 1 Corinthians 12:26 says, "If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together." When a member of the body of Christ is persecuted, we ought to know about it.
Kenya - Last Saturday, Nov. 5, suspected extremists sympathetic to al-Shabab threw a grenade into a church elder's home outside Garissa, Kenya, killing 8-year-old Winnie Mwenda Mutinda and 25-year-old John Kikavu. Three others in the house were seriously injured. The church's pastor, Ibrahim Makunyi Kamwaro, told Compass Direct News that the three injured Christians are now in stable condition after undergoing treatment. … Despite the threats and attack, the church continued its worship service the next day.1The website has page after page of news alerts and updates from across the globe. Some of the stories are much more violent that the sample I've chosen. You may also remember, from an earlier sermon, my mention of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani who still, as far as we know, continues to languish in an Iranian prison cell under a death sentence, separated from his family, for the crime following Christ. The much-lauded, so-called "Arab Spring" in places like Egypt and Libya has, tragically, often brought more rather than less persecution upon disciples of our Lord Jesus.
Burma - A young Christian in Myanmar was forced to choose between faith and family recently when her relatives demanded that she recant her faith. On Sept. 19, 2011, 21-year-old Ying was preparing to leave for classes at an underground seminary when her relatives locked her in the house. They threatened to disown her, beat her and withdraw support — including food — if she continued to attend seminary or church. In addition, they threatened to send her to a remote village with no known Christians if she did not recant her faith. Instead of giving in to their demands, Ying ran away from home and left her family behind2
Nigeria – Muslim extremists carried out new attacks on villages in Nigeria's Plateau state in September, killing more than 100 Christians, including entire families, according to Compass Direct News.3
China – In another example of the ongoing crackdown against house churches in China, house church pastor Shi Enhao was sentenced to two years in a labor camp last month. Pastor Shi, who serves as deputy chairman of the Chinese House Church Alliance, was charged with "illegal meetings and illegal organizing of venues for religious meetings." The charges stem from the fact that Pastor Shi's house church of several thousand meets in different sites around Suqian city.4
This week, my wife Sara lent me her copy of a novel entitled Safely Home by Randy Alcorn, strongly encouraging me to read it. The novel is about the extreme persecution of Christians in China. While a work of fiction, the novel nonetheless includes accounts of actual persecutions in that country – persecutions that are never known about or reported because of media lockdowns in that country, and because of our country's willingness to turn a blind eye to these things for the sake of tapping into the explosive economic growth in that country – growth that is, among other things, supported through the deployment of prisoners as slave laborers.
It is interesting to me, then, that on this first Sunday of Advent God would, in his providence, give us this text from Matthew for the sermon. Traditionally, the first Sunday in Advent is devoted, not to the first, but to the second coming of our Lord Jesus, the final Advent when he will come in final judgment, bringing eternal punishment for those who reject him and eternal vindication for those millions of Christians who, because they do not enjoy the religious liberties like those of our own country, suffer intensive persecution for the sake of their faith in Jesus Christ, Lord and King of all the nations.
One Beatitude? Or Two?
Our text is frequently counted as two separate beatitudes, but many scholars believe verse 11 to be a flushing out of the beatitude in verse 10. And as I have read and prepared for this sermon, I lean toward this interpretation. Why? The two verses are very similar. Both speak of persecution. Both speak of blessing and reward for suffering persecution. It seems clear, however, that verse 11 answers three questions about verse 10: First, what is the persecution Jesus is speaking about? Second, what is the "righteousness" which incites the persecution? Third, who are the ones being persecuted?
What Kind of Persecution?
In verse 10, Jesus says, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." The blessing is limited in scope to those who are persecuted. What kind of persecution is this? The answer, I believe, is given in verse 11: "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account."
To be persecuted is to be reviled by others, which means being criticized in a deeply angry, insulting way. These persecuted ones are people against whom all kinds of evil are charged, falsely. One of the earliest examples of persecution in the ancient church was the false charge that Christians engaged in ritual cannibalism. This was probably the result of misunderstanding what was happening at the Lord's Supper and references to the body and blood of Jesus. Christians were also accused of atheism, which may seem very strange, but the source of the charge was the Christian refusal to worship the state-sanctioned gods of the Roman Empire. Any such refusal was considered to be a declaration that the gods did not exist, when in fact Christians were worshiping the only God in existence. Many suspected that ancient Christians were immoral libertines, engaging in incest and orgies. We live today in an almost 180-degree environment, where orthodox Christian are now maligned for holding to old-fashion, fuddy-duddy sexual ethics, which happen to be biblical, while false idol of sexual libertinism is now celebrated by the world.
What Is the Righteousness that Incites the Persecution?
Persecution will come, says Jesus, for "righteousness' sake." What is this righteousness that incites persecution? What kinds of pursuits are righteous? We can only know of righteousness through God's revealed will for us in the Scriptures. Christians need to be lovers of God's Word, but they need to know that adhering to the Word as truth will bring persecution. We guard ourselves against false piety and false interpretation by consulting the Word with other faithful, orthodox believers.5
But something deeper can be said to answer this question from verse 11. In verse 10, those who are persecuted are persecuted for "righteousness' sake." I think Jesus tells us what this means in verse 11. There, he makes things very personal.
"Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account."The "those" in verse 10 are called "you" in verse 11. The "you" in verse 11 is explicitly the disciples, and in this reading today that includes all of you who are disciples of Christ. You will be reviled, persecuted, and evilly slandered because of your relationship to Him, Jesus. Jesus says this persecution will come "on my account." This is really why I think there is a linkage between verses 10 and 11. We know from the bible that no one, including Christians possesses any righteousness in themselves. Paul, in Romans 3:10, quotes the psalmist when he writes
as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God.So what is the righteousness that is pursued and, as a result of being pursued, brings persecution? It is the righteousness that is Jesus Christ. Paul explains this in 1 Corinthians 1:30:
And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."Christ is our righteousness. Christ is our righteousness because we do not have any righteousness of our own. This is the essence of the gospel. If you acknowledge before God your sin, confess it, and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord and your only hope of righteousness, you are saved. The reason you are saved is that by faith in Jesus, His righteousness is imputed to you, it is credited to your account and you are totally free from condemnation for sin.
But it is this very relationship to Jesus as Lord that will invite persecution. The implications are huge: Persecution is a marker of being a disciple. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you will be persecuted for it. Why? Because if you are a follower of Jesus, and not just a fan, everything else in life takes second place. If Jesus is the object of your love and affection and loyalty, that means your nation isn't, and that will invite persecution. If Jesus is your first love, that means your families are not, and that will invite persecution (remember the daughter who ran away from her home?). If Jesus is your love, then his Word, his commandments and expectations will always come first, and not those of the world, and that will invite persecution. If Jesus is your highest treasure, that means other gods and religions and spiritualities are not, and that will invite persecution. This has always been the case.
Bruner remarks that "Christians are only supposed to get into trouble for the right reasons."6 Jesus is the right reason.
My Desire for Our Church
One of the reasons I opened with the stories of persecution is that I wanted to awaken in you a desire to stand with those who are persecuted. This is the responsibility, I think, of those who enjoy a much greater degree of freedom to worship than many millions of our brothers and sisters. I desire us to be a people who, while not persecuted, have the passion for Christ of the persecuted, the compassion of the persecuted, the drive of the persecuted, the perseverance of faith of the persecuted, the risky lives of the persecuted, the audacity of the persecuted. My hope is that God will use the promise of this blessing in this message to set all of us free from our complacency and our need to live in constant comfort and with approval from others to live for the approval of the only One in the universe whose approval actually matters, Jesus Christ.
I want to remind you of the promise of Jesus of the great rewards that await those who are faithful amid persecution. The rewards for those women and men are amazing. We ought to rejoice that God has created such people, people whose faithfulness to Christ has ignited gospel revival. May we also receive such grace.
Our Response for Those Persecuted
What can we who do not routinely experience extreme persecution to do in solidarity with persecuted brothers and sisters do? There are several things.
First, we should always remember persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in our prayers. We should pray for their safety, for the perseverance of their faith, for their families, that beatings and torture will not weaken but actually strengthen their faith, and for the continued spread of the good news of the gospel.
Second, in many countries there is a shocking shortage of bibles. One of the paramount pleas of the persecuted, underground churches is for copies of God's living Word. We have so many bibles sitting on shelves here in the United States. Perhaps someone could organize a drive to get bibles to brothers and sisters who are starving for God's Word.
Third, and this is from our text, we ought to rejoice! We need to sing God's praises for his power and might in creating such faith in the hearts of the persecuted. As we look over the lists of those who are martyred for the faith, even as the tears may flow, sing praises to God for faith and for faith's reward, the eternal inheritance of the kingdom of God for those who are in Christ Jesus.
And on this first Sunday in Advent, let's us pray that the second coming of our Lord might come soon. The writer of Hebrews had this to say to his listeners:
But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners [we are those partners today] with those so treated. For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. For,
"Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back,my soul has no pleasure in him."
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. (Hebrews 10:32-39 ESV)Our Lord Jesus Christ said:
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Rejoice and be glad, brothers and sisters. Lord Jesus, come soon! Amen.
Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5:10-12 ESV)

Hey Jenn,
I have to tell you what an awesome job you did with our video. It is so much cooler than the standard boring or cheesy video that it really plays like a movie. Thank you so much for the professional sense of restraint and taste you have! You really are excellent. Your editing of our love story sequence, music and photo selection, and even the menus, all were perfectly suited to us and to the vibe of our wedding.
Thank you for working with such enthusiasm. It shows in the product that you were engaged and not dialing it in. We are very grateful to you and very pleased that we hired your company particularly. We will recommend you and your work with genuine pleasure. We'll be wearing out our copies of the video!
Thank you again.
Tom and Maggie

If you are looking to sell your coin collection for a nice profit, then bring it to us so we can give you a quote of how much we would pay for your silver coins.
We are located at the Seguin Mini Flea Market and open EVERY day from 9am to 10pm; or you can contact us to make an appointment.

Counterpoints to the Narrative is on view until the end of this month at Lichtundfire. It provides a thoughtful exploration of contemporary mediums, color theory, and depth of field, featuring three artists who engage unique materials to bring an idiosyncrasy of observation in traditional approaches to balance and color. The exhibition is a revelation on more than one level from its curator Dominick Lombardi; and Lichtundfire, a gallery I have come to admire as sage to the world of objective theory through its exploration of new approaches in the rapport of material to expression.
Martin Weinstein landscapes (above left) are saturated with colors evoking Monet's Giverny. He has retooled his images with a complex approach involving successive layers of acrylic sheets, each individually painted with a different subject or color, then superimposed to achieve a volumetric distillation of luminosity and romantic atmosphere.
Sparky Campanella is a photographer with an interesting approach to balance and texture – his backgrounds pivot affinitively off chosen subjects and have a painterly feel, drawing the viewer's eye to something we may have passed by on an average afternoon. Sparky's seventieth-of-a-second captures give us a better understanding of what we're missing (right: Sparky Campanella, Jawbone Canyon Looking West 2004, Pigment Print Photo, 40 x 50″, Edition No. 1/5). What might feel like a lush sky warm as morning coffee is actually a pipeline, appearing to be trompe l'oeil by a painter who bears down on his color, and thank god for that.
Drawing us into the back of the gallery's space is a large expressive mixed-media collage by Mark Sharp, who's work continues up the east wall. The balance Lombardi has curated to demonstrate Sharp's use of patterned and hand-dyed cloth manipulated by painting compels the viewer to see the show more thoughtfully as a whole, according the essence and presence of each artist's work a singular kind of spotlight.

Ken Johnson said, "Progressively-minded critics these days tend to evaluate art and design for their abilities to promote new ideas and behaviors, usually in favor of politically liberal aims. Mere beauty has come to be seen as a conservative — if not morally decadent — value." In the end, this is a beautiful exhibition, and I will admit, "I love and value beautiful".

The Greek Islands Beaches are considered by many some of the best in the Mediterranean. They come in all colors and types. They may be secluded coves or long stretches of white sands. Some of them are black or red of volcanic origin.
One thing they have in common, the great all year round weather and above all the charm of being in the Greek Islands. I always clarify that the beaches mentioned here are only some of the best of them. Here are our top ten.
Navagio or Shipwreck Beach in Zakynthos
Navagio Beach in Zakynthos
They also call this beach the "Shipwreck Bay" and is one of the most famous beaches in Greece, located on the eastern part of the Island of Zakynthos, close to the Anafotiria village.
It was initially called Agios Georgios but owes its new name
to the shipwreck of a smugglers boat called Panagiotis that sank here, in 1983.
The deep sea left the remains of the ship on this beach. Since then it has become
a highlight of beauty of Greek Islands Beaches.
The image is complimented by huge cliffs surrounding the beach. To reach this beach you may take a Taxi-Boat from the small village of Porto Vromi for a 30 minutes ride.
Myrtos Beach is one of the Best Beaches in the World
Myrtos Beach in Kefalonia
This beach has been designated as one of the most beautiful in the world and also as the cleanliest, it is for sure the highlight of a visit to Kefalonia.
What characterizes this beach is the turquoise clear waters that have made it one of the most photographed sites in Greece. Hoards of goats may be seen climbing up and down the cliffs that surround the beach.
Here the beach is ideal for a good swim or just relax on your sun bed with a good book in hand. This beach offers a relaxing scenario for that. There are no tourists facilities and in the only bar on the beach refreshments a very expensive.
This beach is best viewed from above, either from the main coastal road where cars look like tiny ants and you can see the whole effect of the piercingly blue sea, white cliffs and pale sand all together.
The Island of Lefkada has Amazing Beaches
More Greek Islands Beaches
Porto Katsiki in Lefkada
This famous beach is located on the Ionian Sea island of Lefkada and in Greek means "Port of the Goat".
It is located 35 km from Lefkada Town near the village of Athani.
The beach is surrounded by white cliffs forming a perfect bay narrow at the center.
There are about 80 steps to go down to the beach which has crystal clear waters for the delight of visitors.
This beach can also be reached by boat from the nearby villages of Nydri or Vasiliki. There a few food stands and canteens but no place to stay.
Free camping on the beach is prohibited, bu a few take their chances and stay to sleep under the stars.
Katisiki Beach has become so popular that during the summer months it may be very crowded. I recommend arriving early in the morning.
Sidari Beach is a great beach of Corfu
Sidari Beach on the Island of Corfu
This is a great beach for families because the waters are shallow and they have all facilities like sun beds, umbrellas, cafes and food stands.
It is located in Sidari between the harbor and the cliffs of Canal D' Amour. It runs parallel to the main road.
With so much going on, it's for the tourists that don't mind a bit of noise and traffic.
You will find many sports stands offering pedal boat and canoe rental and equipment for paragliding and other water sports.
This is one of the best Corfu Beaches and also of the Greek Islands Beaches.
Elia Beach is a Gay Friendly Beach in Mykonos
Elia Beach Mykonos Island
Elia beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Mykonos and at the same time quieter than the other famous beaches of paradise and Super Paradise. It can be accessed by bus from Mykonos Town and also by boat departing from Platys Gialos Beach.
It is known as a Gay Friendly Beach and even has a section
for Nude Bathing. It is said that you may find here many celebrities who came
to visit Mykonos and other Greek Islands Beaches.
This longest sandy beach of the island is must see whan you arrive in Mykonos, the most known of all Greek Islands. It is well organized with taverns and bars and many sport facilities like windsurfing, parasailing and water skiing.
Plaka Beach in the Island of Naxos
This calm and sandy beach is a continuation to the beach of Agia Anna and is considered the most beautiful one in Naxos. It features amazing clear green waters and powdery sands.
This beach is undisturbed by businesses, you may find sun beds and umbrellas, but the hotels and restaurants are behind the sand dunes. It has a section for nudists but families are also welcome. The beach is approximately 4 km long.
Elafosini Beach on the Island of Crete
Elafonisi Beach Crete
The peninsula of Elafonisi is located on the southwestern corner of the Island of Crete about 75 km west of the town of Chania.
The beaches on both sides of the peninsula have a kind of pink sand formed from thousands of broken shells. When arriving there you may think you arrived in the Caribbean with its turquoise waters. The waters are also very shallow allowing great fun for families with little children.
This beach attracts visitors from all over the globe and is protected by an EU environmental program among the Greek Islands Beaches.
Kalathos Beach in Lindos on the Island of Rhodes
Kalathos Beach in the Island of Rhodes
The Village of Kalathos is located about 45 km south of Rhodes Town and near the area of Lindos. The beach is sandy and the waters awe inspiring with their deep blue color. There are a few stands for sun bed and umbrella renting. You may find refreshments and some coffee shops on the beach. And even a supermarket.
From here you may take an organized tour to Lindos, like we did. Lindos has an incredible Parthenon replica to the one on the Acropolis in Athens. There are also a few sailing trips to the neighboring islands and to Marmaris in Turkey. When evening comes there are a few night clubs and bars offering beautiful Greek Music.
This one is the best of all Rhodes Beaches and of the Greek Islands Beaches.
For more information visit Greece Tourism Website
World Renowned Red Beach in the Island of Santorini
Red Beach Santorini
This is the most known of Santorini Beaches and is featured in so many travel magazines. It is located near the ancient village of Akrotiri and is one of the most famous beaches of Santorini. Because of its fame, many people come just to admire it and never set their feet in its black sand. They are also attracted by the slabs of red and black rock volcanic that are right behind her.
The sand is red and black and is a bit uncomfortable to sit directly on it, because the pebbles in the sand. There are a lot of sun beds and parasols. It is a very good area for snorkeling because of the clear waters surrounding the beach.
This beach can also be reached by boats that depart from the
ports of Fira and Akrotiri. One of the most famous of Greek Islands Beaches.
Kastani Beach in Skopelos Island
The claim to fame of the island is that it was the main location for the filming of the movie "Mama Mia" in 2008. This is the loveliest beach in the Island os Skopelos with white sands and crystal clear waters. It has a remarkable environment surrounded by pine trees that reach the edge of the shore.
Kastani becomes busy in summer, but not as busy as Elios or Klima. A sloping dirt road, just 500 meters from the bus route, will lead you to the beach.

So it's been another crazy, busy day for me... cake, crafting, and a shift at the hospital. Great thing I had my little 5 year old Maia (sous Chef), help me clean up! So here is what I have been working on today!
Tomorrow is my friend Karen's sons first birthday... She asked me to make him a monkey themed birthday cake! I think it turned out great! Hope the "little monkey" likes it! Happy birthday Samuel!
More views... this is a 4 layer chocolate and white cake on the inside. Filled with butter cream icing and covered with fondant. Yummy!
Here is how I made the banner... I created the little flags using the draw tools in the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition and then cut them out with the Cameo. I then glued down the top tabs to the twine and then hung it up between two bamboo skewers.
Thanks for visiting!
