Basement Beat: Remember Frank Doezema Jr. too
This week, we published a story by staff writer Virginia Ransbottom on the great "Faces Never Forgotten" campaign. If you haven't spotted it yet, read it here or I encourage you to go pick up a copy of the paper.
The folks with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund are encouraging the public to check out The Wall of Faces and send in information and pictures about the 58,300 men and women who served and died in the Vietnam War.
After spotting it in the paper, Scott Kuykendall with the Allegan County Historical Society wanted to remind folks about U.S. Army Specialist E4 Frank Doezema Jr.
The Kalamazoo Christian grad whose family farmed in Allegan County wasn't in our list of veterans who listed their home county as Allegan, but it sounds like he has strong ties to the area.
Kuykendall said Doezema is among the county's most decorated soldiers.
He told Ms. Ransbottom today that Doezema died in Vietnam saving his men from being attacked at a compound now named in his honor. He earned the Distinguished Service Cross, the Purple Heart, and Bronze Star. He is buried at East Martin Cemetery.
Ms. Ransbottom found the U.S. Army's order granting his Distinguished Service Cross online.
It says he earned it Jan. 31, 1968, in the city of Hue, where "insurgents unleashed an intense barrage of rocket, mortor and automatic weapons fire on the installation during the early morning hours..."
It says Doezema manned a machine gun in a defensive tower despite the hail of bullets, using his vantage point to tell his comrades where to fire on enemy positions.
The first of two rockets struck the tower and wounded him; he persevered despite his injuries. A second rocket claimed his life.
"His fearless and gallant actions in close combat accounted for at least 18 enemy killed and were responsible for the successful defense of the compound," the order states.
The order is dated April 1, 1968.
The Wall of Faces is designed specifically to share these kinds of stories and information—and, at the very least, connect pictures of the servicemen and servicewomen with their names.
We focused on those whose home county was listed as Allegan; I'm sure there are many soldiers like specialist Doezema who have strong ties to the county but happened to live outside it when they enlisted.
My staff and I encourage you to search all over the site—not just looking for the Allegan County folks—and contribute anything you can. I'm sure they wouldn't mind monetary donations as well. It sounds like a pretty big undertaking.
Kuykendall, thanks for reminding us of Specialist Doezema. He's someone else to keep in mind in a couple weeks when we commemorate Veterans Day.

(Dual Entries and Elevated VIP Room Ceiling)
I remembered visiting a number of BHs where those birds love to populate those nesting planks that are higher as compared to the normal locations.
They seems to prefer those that are at the staircase areas when the height from the nesting plank to the floor is the tallest or highest.
What I concluded was that these high places gave them a longer period of falling down during their copulation period.
Yes one of their favorite activity during making love is when the male make grab the female bird and they drop down from the ceiling to the floor below.
When they are about a few feet above the floor they will disengaged and fly back to continue doing the same copulation technique.
Yes it is during this falling down activities the male will penetrate the female but not all the time.
If this activity is done at a location where the floor is much deeper they will have more time to copulate.
This was where it hit my mind that if you should provide them the right design, elevated ceiling, they might prefer to stay there.
About four years ago I came out with this design and managed to erect one for my research.
Now after about two years my hypothesis is right.
I was visiting this Karak BH and during my short visit on the top most floor I observed that those birds were hovering and sticking to the nesting planks where the elevation was higher.
Nearly all 90* corners were taken and I am sure this location will be their favorite nesting areas.
This special design have never been constructed before and if you wanted to know more about its benefits please call 017 7551318.
I am of the opinion that these interesting design combined with the dual entries system is one of the important key to populate your BH.
No one have came out with these interesting ideas but something that is beneficial should not be ignored.
Have a good day !!!!

This weightless weight...
It defines me,
It qualifies me,
It is who I am.
With it comes release, pleasure and then pain.
My sex.
I am a girl and I had not a choice.
This gift was thrust upon me for reasons beyond my horizon.
I have accepted it.
Why won't you?
I'm the helper, the life bearer, the care taker.
I'm not the lesser being.
I do not care to be held a prisoner by a lifeless part of me.
I'm more than just 'female'.
I'm more than 'breasts and buttocks'.
I'm more than your 'saddle'.
I'm a woman... A person with feelings and dreams and the right to choose.
I'm not a rag doll, a trophy, a baby factory or a piece of furniture...
Don't treat me as one.
Let me live.
Let my ambitions thrive.
Let my talents and skills flourish.
Let the fire of hope in me burn.
Let my choices be mine.
Let me live for myself.
Dear Man, I ought to stand beside thee and not beneath.
Dear Culture, stop being biased against me.
Dear Religion, Aren't we all equal before God anymore?
Dear World, my ovaries are not yokes.
We are omnivores and not sin eaters.
We are not food to satiate the hunger between your legs.
We are not punching bags; find your way to the gym.
We are not weaklings because we are tender.
We are not dumb because we ought to submit.
We are not for the night, rag dolls to please yourself
Nor for the day, handbags to adorn yourself.
We are not victims.
I am the lover and the mother,
The wise and the strong,
The warrior and the teacher,
The cure to the insanity called "manhood",
The balm to soothe the madness of the young.
I am 'the woman'.
My sex is not a curse,
Today I cast off that cross.
I'll live above your beliefs.
I'll break loose from your grip.
Gender is itself
And I am myself.
This is for every woman whose sin is being a woman. Its for everyone who has lost anything as a result of gender discrimination. Everyone preaches 'gender equality' but what about the woman who is beaten up everyday, or the housewife with no self worth or even the African woman being ridiculed because she bore only female children.
Despite the growing rate of civilization, some people are still stuck in the world of male chauvinism. If you are a woman, stand for yourself; you have a right to be your own person. Fathers, invest in your girl child; she's just as good as a son. Men, please treat us right, the difference between you and us is the 'Y chromosome'. Ladies, your sex is not a tool to earn pity or evade honest work.
Appreciate the women in your life.

An article in Reuters has pointed out that the current Federal administration has a czar for everything. As with so many other overused titles (such as being identified by the media as being an "icon"), there is a lot of unintentional humor. And, the United States is not the sort of place for czars, in the historical sense of the word.
Consider the Wikipedia entry for "Tsar", which has its origins in the term "Caesar". To continue: "Originally, the title Czar (derived from Caesar) meant Emperor in the European medieval sense of the term, that is, a ruler who claims the same rank as a Roman emperor, with the approval of another emperor or a supreme ecclesiastical official (the Pope or the Ecumenical Patriarch)." In other words, definitely not representative of any sort of elected position in a democracy. So, the term "car czar" may have far more meaning than was originally intended. And it may be a lot closer to the truth than modern Americans suspect.
As things roll along, there are even more czars in our future. As could be expected by the frenzied legislative process surrounding the health care "crisis", a lot of stuff is being snuck into the thousands of pages of enabling legislation. Consider the gutting of ERISA, which will give us a new "health choices commissioner". And, there is sure to be more of these sorts of surprises lurking, hidden away from public view until everything has been signed, sealed and enacted.
Of course, this denies the revolutionary character of the United States; things have a way of changing and responding to popular sentiment, good and bad. Beyond that, though, is the larger question of our relationship to our government, and who is in charge. And, it makes you wonder if we are really ready to be led like a Soviet-bloc country. All of this makes me pine for the good old days of the Cold War when you pretty much knew who your enemies were.
In particular, I miss a few key guys like Khrushchev (and Mrs. Khrushchev, too), Yuri Andropov and other great Cold War Reds. As an aside, when Andropov, a former head of the KGB, came into office, the Soviets managed to lay a real sleeper onto the American media. It was soon reported that instead of being a hard-liner, Andropov was a hidden sophisticate, who would drink Scotch whisky and listen to American jazz after hours. The diplomats at Foggy Bottom were soon congratulating themselves. Meanwhile, the boys in the Kremlin were toasting each other with Глупыми американцами!!
Anyway, Khrushchev and the stone-faced Andrei Gromyko played tag team diplomacy at the United Nations; Khrushchev's way with footwear is a particularly fond memory. On other occasions, this dynamic duo would sit there in the UN and bang their fists on their desks in protest. When Khrushchev was evicted from office, he was replaced by the equally interesting Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev.
Although not as colorful as Khrushchev, he was still interesting stuff. The Tsars might have been gone, but he knew the moves. Consider his official photograph:
Look at all those awards! I suspect that at State events he would ease over to a nearby electrical outlet, plug in and those medals would light up like a Christmas tree.
Privately, Brezhnev was apparently quite a fun guy. The sort of guy you could sit down and hammer a few bottles of vodka with. You probably didn't want to play cards with him, and you certainly didn't want to negotiate nuclear weapons reductions with him. But if you kept conversation confined to Russian women, you were probably okay. So, in that light, consider this photograph, from the blog English Russia.
Say what you will, for a Communist, he certainly has the capitalist look. You can just imaging what he's looking at. A few cute Russian babes sitting around the pool in bikinis, sipping French champagne and working on their tans. Off to the side, several security thugs just looking for someone to beat up, etc. And, who's on the phone?
Which brings us to a presumably apochryphal story about Brezhnev. After Brezhnev succeeded Khrushchev as General Secretary, he was very proud of his accomplishments. So much so that he called his mother and invited her to Moscow to see what he had accomplished. She was flown to Moscow by private airplane, picked up at the airport by an honor guard that whisked her into town in a luxury Zil limousine. He took her around the Kremlin, and as they would pass, everybody would snap to attention. Leonid took mom out to his dacha by a private lake. She sat there, looking out on the beautiful scene and started crying. "Mom, what's the matter?" "Oh, this is so wonderful, but what are you going to do if the Bolsheviks come back?"

Loyola Limited is excited to announce that it has been selected as the new concessionaire for ALL Ramblers athletics contests for the 2018-19 academic year. Loyola Limited will provide food service for fans at Ramblers athletics events at Gentile Arena, Loyola Soccer Park & Loyola Softball Park.
"We are extremely excited about the opportunity to partner with Loyola Limited and their new brand, The Wolf's Kettle, on our athletics concessions operations," Loyola senior associate athletics director for external operations Tom Sorboro said. "We have worked closely with Loyola Limited on a number of events and initiatives in the past and have been extremely impressed with the work of the students involved. We have no doubt that they will bring the same level of professionalism, dedication, creativity and business acumen to this endeavor. This is a great partnership for the University and we are eager for our loyal fans to experience all that this student-run business will have to offer."
"It's been a rewarding experience working on this new business venture," Ireland's President Dillon Kurila said. "Our team has been working very hard over the past year to make this happen and it is amazing to see all of the hard work finally paying off."
With Loyola Limited in the fold, fans will now be able to purchase beer and wine at games played at Gentile Arena and credit card transactions will be accepted at the concession stands.
Loyola's first official home game of the 2018-19 academic year takes place today, when the men's soccer team hosts Cleveland State at 4 p.m. at Loyola Soccer Park.

Slot Players Slot machines are the games that one can hardly pass by without inserting several coins to try the fortune. Due to a wide variety of modern technologies there are many types of slots online to choose.
Top Casinos to Gamble
The Slot machine was invented in 1895 by Charles Fey. And, by 1907 the machine started being manufactured with the collaboration between the inventor and the Mills Novelty Company. This machine consisted of a complete case in iron fitted with a traditional Liberty Bell cast on the entire front. Originally, it had feet and toes both done in cast iron. With time, new models were provided with elaborate rolled feet.
The reel strips on the machine portrayed playing cards including queen, king and jack. And, to signal a winning combination, the machine used a bell. But, this bell remained in use only for a short time. But, this concept has been maintained till date with the bell signaling a player hitting a jackpot.
Train of Events
- In 1910, some changes were made in the Liberty Bell and it was renamed as the Operator Bell. This machine had a commendable coin entry along with the renowned fruit symbols.
- These slots were quite heavy, with each one weight above 100 pounds. And, more than 30,000 pieces were manufactured.
- Cast iron was not used beyond 1915, when slot machines started being made in wood that were less costly. In the beginning years of 1930 the company had worked out a number of alterations in the machine that set a new revolution in the industry.
- The initial emphasis was focused more on creating machines that did not make much noise, which led them to be known as 'silent bell'.
- Another introduction in the machines was the double jackpot which enabled players to hit multiple jackpots in quick progression.
- In order to allure players and make the machines a more memorable piece, the company introduced lots of colorful and stunning cabinet designs. Each of the design was different in terms of its theme.
- The first such machine was created in 1931, known as the Lion Head. Others to follow the same year were the Roman Head and the Ware Eagle. In 1933, the company launched another machine, the Castle Front.
- The Lion Head machine continued to use the gooseneck coin acceptor which was in regular use during the 1920s. But, the War Eagle used a completely new coin acceptor through which one could view the coins, moving across the machine top. This attribute, not only provided extra mobility and saved time, but also enhanced the security features. The security was now more empowered to monitor the coins and check if any slugs were ever used.

15 Common Mistakes in Warfare, Part I
Hello All! It's been forever and my profuse apologies for that. I'm in a very interesting season, and I've been doing some teaching in Facebook Live formats, but I don't want to completely neglect my blog. Hence this post.
This was something that just dropped in my spirit, so I wanted to share it with you all in hopes that it will bless you. In this post, we're examining common mistakes in warfare.
1. Not knowing you're in a battle.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. (Matthew 11:12)
Fight the good fight of faith… (I Timothy 6:12)
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. (II Timothy 2:3)
The biggest mistake a Believer could make in warfare is not realising you're in warfare. Now, if you're a newbie to the Kingdom of God, and haven't really had the chance to delve into your Word yet, then I totally get it. However, you should be at a good Bible-believing and demonstrating church that lets you know the pleasant things in Scripture as well as the grim.
Being a Christian isn't about having a happy-go-lucky life where it's all unicorn kisses, warm fuzzies, and cotton candy. Jesus presented us with a balanced perspective on the Christian life:
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)
The apostle John backed this up as well:
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (I John 4:4)
Many of the references used to describe the Christian life in the New Testament have a warfare aspect. So just in case no one's told you, YOU. ARE. AT. WAR.
If you counter by telling me that you're life's just great, continually great, and that you never experience warfare, then I would say that either you're in a gilded cage and don't know it or you're not accomplishing anything worthwhile for God. Because if you do great things for God, the enemy will target you long before anybody knows your name. He's not omniscient, but he's not stupid either.
2. Warring from a position of ignorance.
...Lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. (II Corinthians 2:11)
When men and women join the military, they aren't thrust to the front line immediately. No. They have to go through intense training to even make the cut; and then after that, they still are not generally placed on the frontline. The military does not want ignorant people fighting its battles.
And the military is not all physical combat. In order to attain higher ranks or have special skills, you must qualify through classes as well.
If the United States military doesn't want ignorant soldiers, how much less God?
Ask for Wisdom & the Gift of Discernment
You don't have to know everything upfront, but we can pray and not only ask God for insight (systems and strategies), but we can specifically ask God for wisdom.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5)
In 1 Corinthians 14:1, the apostle Paul told us to desire spiritual gifts and one of those gifts is the discerning of spirits. Not just discernment (keen wisdom) or good judgment that every Believer should have (I Cor. 2:15), but an actual supernatural ability to discern who and what is around you (I Cor. 12:1-11).
You can discern the Spirit of God, heavenly spirits, demonic spirits, human spirits, atmospheres, times, seasons, cycles, and yes, types of battle. There's really no cap on what one can discern. Words of knowledge and wisdom also factor into this gift as well as the gift of prophecy greatly.
Pray in the Spirit
Praying in the Spirit is also a marvelous eradicator of ignorance. When you utilize your prayer language, then the Holy Spirit can reveal various things to you. He can also pray through you in a way that is 100% non-discernable to the enemy because they don't understand the language. It also assists us when we don't know what to pray.
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26)
3. Not closing open doors.
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. (John 14:30)
When Jesus was preparing for His greatest battle of all, He knew He would be contending with the ruler of this world, but He also knew that there was no way the false ruler could win. Why? Because they had nothing in common.
I ALWAYS think of the song "Something in Common" by Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston because their marriage was a sad example of what can happen when you have something in common with the wrong person or in the case of this post, the wrong spirit. We must make sure that we are continually being washed and purged by the water of the Word, the Blood of Jesus, true repentance, and godly living so the enemy cannot say he has something in common with us (Eph. 5:26, Psalm 51, II Cor. 7:10, Acts 2:38, II Peter 1:2-4).
The Lord told Cain,
"If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it." (Genesis 4:7)
We must deal plainly with sin and iniquity (a pattern of intentional sin), repent of it, and put it under the blood so we revoke the legal rights of the enemy.
So David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; but now, I pray, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly." (I Chronicles 21:8)
Now therefore, let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take care and do it, for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, no partiality, nor taking of bribes. (II Chronicles 19:7)
Generational Curses, Spiritual Inheritances
The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation. (Numbers 14:18)
You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; You have covered all their sin. Selah. (Psalm 85:2)
We have sinned with our fathers,
We have committed iniquity,
We have done wickedly.
(Psalm 106:6)
Iniquity can be found in a person as well as a group of people. For a moment, I'd like to speak about generational curses or as I call them, spiritual inheritances. I call them inheritances because an inheritance can be good or bad and you can choose whether or not you want to accept it.
There are many evil spiritual inheritances created by iniquity. Some may be sexual sin, false religion/idolatry, Occultic practices, secret society involvement (e.g. Masonry) involvement in/profiting from the slave trade, corruption, and others. The problem is whether or not we have personally participated in these iniquities, they are still in our bloodline if no one before us has dealt with it. So our job is to personally or symbolically identify with the iniquity so we can renounce it on behalf of our bloodline, close the door(s) in the name of Jesus, and seal that door forever with the blood of Jesus. We can also employ binding and loosing as well as the Key of David (Isa. 22:22; Matt. 16:19, 18:18). (I really need to do a full post on the Believer's authority.)
Removing the sin and iniquity, closing the doors to those things, really ups the ante when it comes to spiritual warfare because there's no hidden entryway the enemy can use to access, harass, or overcome you. It stops him from using you against you.
4. Not warring from the proper position.
And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their places, according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer. Also the gatekeepers were at each gate; they did not have to leave their position, because their brethren the Levites prepared portions for them. (II Chronicles 35:15)
Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows. (Nehemiah 4:13)
Any man or woman of war knows that your position can make or break the battle. Your position is also a revealer: it displays how well you know the enemy and their plans. Furthermore, position is not just literal; it's also a spiritual, mental, and emotional posture. Each of the below aspects are imperative to understanding your position in this war.
I Am a Son!
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13)
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. (Romans 8:14-17)
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:26)
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" (Galatians 4:6)
Scripture is extremely clear that when we believe on Jesus and are born of the Spirit of God, then we become sons of God. Sonship is not about gender, but about a concept; a posture. So even though I'm a woman, I am a son of God. There is neither male nor female in Christ (Gal. 3:28).
While I aspire to be a friend of God, authority does not come through friendship, but through sonship. I'm not a servant, I'm a son. Servants may only have delegated authority; this is why children are identified as no different than servants from an authoritative standpoint (Gal. 4:1-7). It's only when we grow to full stature in Christ that we not only have but understand our full authority in Christ - and all the blessings and weight that comes along with it.
I Am a Joint-Heir!
16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. (Romans 8:16-17)
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:29)
...That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel… (Ephesians 3:6)
...That having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:7)
The second aspect of understanding who we are in Christ is understanding that being a son of God makes us a brother/sister of Christ and specifically, a joint-heir, meaning we inherit all the promises of God.
Scripture is full of SO MANY promises and we can appropriate those promises because of our status as heirs of Father-God.
I Am Seated in Heavenly Places!
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:4-7)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ… (Ephesians 1:3)
The third step of understanding our identity is understanding that not only are we sons, not only are we joint-heirs with Christ, but that we are seated in heavenly places IN Christ!
Being seated in Christ in heavenly places is our spiritual position. So if this is where we are and that's what the Bible says, then our thoughts, emotions, and words should align with that position.
And note, that this means we are seated above the second heaven where much of our warfare takes place or is derived from. After all. Lucifer is the Prince of the Power of the Air. Sin, the abdication of our spiritual identity in Christ, forfeits our spiritual authority and gives place to the devil to have his way instead of allowing God to have His way in the earth.
Ah, but when we recognize that we are seated in heavenly places in Christ and everything about us aligns with that position, then we can begin to order our cosmos (systems) and command things to come into alignment with our word.
Never forget that God created the world and its cosmos from a word, and if we are made in His image and likeness (Gen. 1:26-28), then we can create things that tangibly manifest too!
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. (Romans 8:19-22)
The final factor regarding our heavenly position is that WE DO NOT COME DOWN to fight battles. Only people who don't understand their position or the authority that comes with it get down off their throne to fight petty squabbles. Don't be that guy.
I Am VICTORIOUS!
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (I Corinthians 15:57)
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. (I John 5:4)
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. (Romans 8:37)
Finally, what we need to understand about our Christian identity is that we war from a position of victory. The final battle is already won! We are battling for our souls, but Christ has already overcome the enemy and when we remain in Him, we cannot help but overcome the enemy along with Him!
Ephesians 4:8 tells us that Christ has led captivity captive! What a victorious, alliterative phrase!! He takes captive the thing that desires to make us its captives. Another AHHHMAZING picture is painted for us in Romans 16:20 when it says, "And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen." We are NOT defeated! We are NOT overcome! We are not failures! We are more than conquerors and we will go on conquering in Him.
5. Not knowing the Word.
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God… (Ephesians 6:17)
This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
(Psalm 18:30 ESV)
Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. (Proverbs 30:5)
The Word of God is our sword! A double-edged sword! So if we don't know It, then we go to war without our primary weapon. The Word of God is proven and It issues forth from a God Who is perfect. So if we don't know It, then we are shooting in the dark as far as knowing the mind of God is concerned. The Word of God is pure. So if we don't know It, then we can't fight this war with clarity.
We need both the logos (written Word) and the rhema (Spirit-infused Word) to make it in this battle called life. The apostle Paul backed this up stating,
This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare… (I Timothy 1:18)
Knowing the Word of God is invaluable and non-negotiable in the life of the Believer. If you expect to learn and grow and mature...and wage good warfare, then you NEED to know the Word of God.
STAY TUNED FOR PART ll..!

prop 8
Now that Mormon ward houses are being vandalized and prop 8 has passed in California (with similar measures passing in Fla and Az), Arthur feels like it might be worthwhile to clarify that he thinks the Mormon's got this one wrong and that gay people that want to be married by the state should be able to do just that.
At his brother's suggestion, Arthur read the official Church explaination of why it supported prop 8 and asked its members to "do all they can" to support the measure. None of the reasons seemed very compelling to him.
First, the Church claims that they have the right to participate in the democratic process and takes great lengths to espouse the virtues of democracy. Fine...but this approach seems entirely misdirected considering that Mormons believe in the theocratic rule of Christ himself and that he will return to earth to reign and govern all humanity. We will not be voting for him. The democratic process is a temporal solution for bad rulers and though arguable the best system of governance that we can come up with, it is hardly a reason for the Church to step away from its standard position on voting and democracy. If the Church had said, "Democracy is good...go vote"and left it at that, we Mormons might not be percieved as instigators of divisiveness and prejudice.
The appeal to the right to participate in the democratic process "when it comes to moral issues" also begs the question: Why does the Church not direct its members to vote for candidates that will end the war in Iraq? Or that will fight to alleviate poverty? Or that will preserve ANWR and other unprotected wilderness? Each a threat to family stability and each a moral issue. Though others do and will disagree, Arthur thinks we Mormons got this one wrong (it would not be the first time) and is pretty sad to see the negative fallout on both sides.
The Church also claims that allowing gay people to be included in the definition of marriage threatens the separation of Church and State, a long held principle of our consititution. They cite examples of pro-gay groups instigating lawsuites against church run universities and other religious institutions for violating Equal Protection rights of religious gay people who want to participate in the religious life. First, those lawsuits are only applicable to religious institutions that recieve federal funding, and if they really want the freedom to worship "how, who, or what they may" as provided for under the Bill of Rights (and Mormon Articles of Faith), all they have to do is lose the federal funding. As freedom of religion is so fundamental to the fabric of our country and its founding, I find it hard to believe that our right to continue to worship the way we do will be jeopardized or threatened in any significant way because of how THE STATE decides to define marriage. Contrary to the Church's argument, allowing gay people to be included in the definition of marriage is the ultimate separation of church and state. Mormons believe marriage in the temple is for eternity and is the only form of marriage that continues beyond mortality and thus that has any eternal value and purpose. Why should we worry about a temporal union sanctioned by a government of men? Especially if/when we believe that we are all children of God and as far as earthly governments go, are entitled to equal protection of earthly laws. The obsession with gay marriage seems to distract us from our goal of heaven and a celestial life and bogs us down in what Arthur percieves as decidedly political issue. We love our gay friends, don't feel they are a threat to our marriage, and hope for more love and understanding. Besides, as Captain Steve Zissou notes: "We are all part gay"

As an interior design firm working with clients for many years from Mill Valley to Healdsburg, we've found a number of home designs that have truly stood the test of time. Trends come and go but there are some designs that have seemed to always be near to our clients' hearts. We looked back through many of the designs we've worked on and seen in our field to pick the top 5 for you. As you are continuing your research we want you to be equipped with ideas that will help you tell your story through design.
Double Sinks in the Master Bath
Even though this is technically considered a luxury item, this is probably one of the most sought after components that the client never really thinks about when looking for designs. We believe the practicality of this feature alone is worth considering it for your new home design. If you are remodeling a bathroom, this is a great addition. Having double sinks allows each spouse to have their own space. Each person can be in the bathroom getting ready for the day at the same time. Gone are the days of taking turns to use the bathroom sink.
Over the years, this has become a very popular if not standard design component in the master bathroom. The greatest thing about this addition is that it adds to your resale value. How great is that?
One Bath Tub in Your Home Design
Another potentially overlooked feature that has stood the test of time is a bath tub. Yes, the good 'ol tub has brought smiles to many kids, adults and pets since anyone can remember.
Having at least one bath tub in your home design is important. It gives you a place to rest and relax as the adult while being a great place to bath kids if you are in this phase of life. Have you ever tried to bath an infant or toddler in the shower? Exactly. Another plus to having a bath tub can be that it gives you a place to wash your dog. Sometimes the garden hose is just too messy and the weather isn't cooperating, so you can bring them in and shampoo them up nice in the comfort of your home.
Open Kitchen Floor Plan
It has been a long time since someone said "Hey, can you just box off my entire kitchen with cabinets please?" Seriously, an open kitchen floor plan has become over time one of the most solid home design components you will find. As people are entertaining more often the need for an open floor plan is very high.
One of the great features of an open floor plan is the increase in visibility or sight lines. Being able to see from one room into another creates a space that feels naturally much bigger. This type of design allows for more effective entertaining, with your conversations naturally spilling over from one room to another. When you are working on finishing a dish for the party and you are getting deep into a conversation, you don't want a wall to come in between you and that other person. Also, when entertaining or just feeding a growing family, you will have a better opportunity with an open floor plan with buffet style serving.
Neutral Colors
One thing we've noticed that our clients have attached themselves to is the idea of neutral colors. There are really two ways to think about this:
One - if you are planning on living in your home for a short period of time after the home remodel, you can use neutral colors on the walls to attract a broader audience of buyers. Home buyers want to see the space for how their story could be told, not how yours is currently being told. This will help with resale while giving you a very nice end result while you are still in the space.
Two - if you are planning on living in your home for a longer period of time, you can still take a sensible approach that will give you more years on the newly remodeled home. You can choose neutral colors for all your finishes which will give you options on wall colors for years to come. The finality of cabinet finishes is much greater than a wall color.
Also, neutral colors are much softer on the eyes. Some of the colors we are talking about might be a light grey, beige, cream or linen. The colors you choose are definitely a preference but before you commit, consult with a home designer to make sure you are not dating your home too quickly by choosing a color that is on the way out.
Family Room Fireplace
For generations, a fireplace has been the anchor of the home. Creating warmth and providing a place for gathering, a fireplace can really add charm, character and set the mood for your family room.
Along with providing a function of warmth in the winter months, a fire place is great for bringing the family together or using for entertaining guests. If you polled a room of random people, 9 out of 10 would say fireplaces are not just good, but they are great. A fireplace gives you a constant second layer when setting the mood for entertaining, relaxing or simply watching the t.v.
As you continue down the road of researching home designs, we hope you will consider these five components in your home remodeling project. Most of our clients have all of these elements in their homes and we feel these elements will stand the test of time. Can you think of any other home designs that have stood the test of time? Let us know in the comments below.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 21, 2017) - Pitchblack Resources Ltd. (NEX:PIT.H) ("Pitchblack" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that today it has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Sulliden Mining Capital Inc. ("Sulliden") to purchase from Sulliden all of the shares of a wholly owned subsidiary of Sulliden which holds an option to acquire 100% of the past producing Troilus Gold Project (the "Troilus Project"), located approximately 450 kilometers north east of Val-d'Or (the "Transaction"). 2507868 Ontario Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sulliden (the "Sulliden Sub"), is party to an option agreement with First Quantum Minerals Inc. ("First Quantum") pursuant to which the Sulliden Sub has the right to acquire the Troilus Project upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The two year option was signed in May 2016 and Pitchblack intends to exercise the option following completion of the Transaction.
Agreement with Sulliden
Pitchblack will purchase from Sulliden all of the outstanding equity securities of Sulliden Sub, in consideration for the issuance of 100,000,000 common shares of Pitchblack to Sulliden (the "Consideration"). Based on the closing price of Pitchblack's common shares on June 21, 2017, the deemed sale price for the Sulliden Sub shares is $41 million.
Pitchblack had established a special committee of the board of directors to review the Transaction and they have unanimously approved the Transaction. Although Bill Clarke is considered to be a Non-Arm's Length Party to the Transaction as he is a director of each of Pitchblack and Sulliden, the Transaction constitutes an Arm's Length Transaction as defined by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). Pitchblack is not paying any finder's fees in connection with the Transaction.
The Transaction is subject to receipt of certain third party and regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSXV.
G. Scott Moore. President and Chief Executive Officer of Pitchblack, commented: "The opportunity to acquire a project of this size in the Province of Quebec, one of the best mining jurisdictions globally, is a significant opportunity for Pitchblack shareholders."
Details of the Option Agreement Between Sulliden and First Quantum
In May 2016, First Quantum entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with the Sulliden Sub pursuant to which the Sulliden Sub was granted a two-year option to purchase a 100% interest in the Troilus Project, with First Quantum retaining a variable net smelter royalty of 1.5% or 2.5% depending on the price of gold.
To exercise the option under the Option Agreement, the Sulliden Sub committed to making three cash payments of $100,000 to First Quantum. Two of these payments have been made, and the last remaining payment is to be completed on the date of exercise of the option. In addition, Sulliden Sub committed to spend a minimum of $1,000,000 on engineering and technical studies to evaluate the economic viability of the Troilus Project. Over the last year, Sulliden has spent more than $700,000 towards the advancement of an internal preliminary economic assessment focusing on an underground mining scenario, which satisfies a significant portion of the expenditure commitment made to First Quantum.
The acquisition of the Troilus Project would include all infrastructure, including roads, power lines, camp buildings, permitted tailings pond and associated water treatment facilities. The Troilus mill, however, was removed from the Troilus Project during the first phase of reclamation.
Troilus History & Development Strategy
The Troilus Project is located approximately 175 kilometres by road from Chibougamau, Quebec, Canada. The property covers approximately 4,700 hectares. From 1997 to 2010, Inmet Mining Corporation operated the Troilus Project as an open-pit mine, producing more than 2,000,000 ounces of gold and 70,000 tonnes of copper.
Following the execution of the Option Agreement with First Quantum, Sulliden engaged Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. to complete an updated mineral resource estimate for the Troilus Project based on the high quality historical drill data of the project. The mineral resource estimate highlighted open-pit and underground Indicated mineral resources of 44.0 million tonnes containing 1.8 million ounces of gold at 1.27 g/t gold and 117 million pounds of copper at a grade of 0.12%, or 2.1 million ounces of gold equivalent at 1.45 g/t (see Sulliden press release dated May 25, 2017 for details).
New Pitchblack Management Team
Upon closing of the Transaction, Sulliden intends to transition its technical and operational teams to Pitchblack to accelerate the development of the Troilus Project; the same team who was responsible for the recent successful development of the Shahuindo Gold Project in Peru. The Sulliden management and operations team is led by Justin Reid and the technical team is led by Peter Tagliamonte.
Mr. Reid is a geologist and capital markets executive with over 20 years of experience focused exclusively in the resource space. From February 2013 to August 2014, Mr. Reid served as President of Sulliden Gold Corporation Ltd. Since the sale of Sulliden Gold Corporation Ltd. to Rio Alto Mining Limited, Mr. Reid has served as the CEO of Sulliden Mining Capital Inc. Mr. Reid holds a B.Sc from the University of Regina, an M.Sc from the University of Toronto and MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Mr. Reid started his career as a geologist with the SGS and Cominco Ltd after which he became a partner and senior mining analyst at Cormark Securities in Toronto. In 2009, Mr. Reid was named Executive General Manager at Paladin Energy responsible for leading all merger and acquisition, corporate and market related activities. He returned to Canada in early 2011 assuming the role of Managing Director Global Mining Sales at National Bank Financial, where he directed the firm's sales and trading in the mining sector.
Mr. Tagliamonte is a professional mining engineer and also holds an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario. Mr. Tagliamonte is the current CEO of Belo Sun Mining Corp., a precious metal resource exploration and development company focused on the Volta Grande property in Brazil. He is also an executive director of Sulliden Mining Capital Inc. He is the former President and CEO of Central Sun Mining, Chief Executive Officer of Sulliden Gold Corporation Ltd. and former Chief Operating Officer of Desert Sun Mining where he developed the Jacobina Mine in Brazil into a 4,200-tonne-per-day mining operation. Mr. Tagliamonte has over 25 years of progressive managerial experience building and operating mines worldwide, notably in Central and South America. In 2005, he received the Mining Journal's "Mine Manager of the Year" award in recognition for his work in the mining sector. Mr. Tagliamonte also serves as a director of several public companies in the resource sector.
In connection with the Transaction, Pitchblack expects that it will also complete an equity financing, the terms of which will be disclosed once they have been determined. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Sulliden has agreed to fund certain working capital requirements of Pitchblack related to the Troilus Project, up to a maximum of $3 million, following the closing of the Transaction for a period of 12 months. Sulliden's obligation shall fall away upon Pitchblack raising a minimum of $5 million of debt or equity financing.

Where applicable, the Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Over the past nine weeks, we have made our way through Jared Farmer's On Zion's Mount: Mormons, Indians, and the American Landscape (Harvard UP, 2008). In On Zion's Mount, as we have learned, Farmer discusses the way Native and Mormon groups imagined and reimagined the geographical spaces among which they lived. Today we discuss chapter nine, "Performing a Remembered Past"; next week, watch this space for Jared Farmer's response to our efforts here.
(Previous posts in the series: introduction; chapter one, chapter two, chapter three, chapter four, chapter five, chapter six, chapter seven, chapter eight.)
Unlike many of the posters in this series, I don't have a personal connection to Mt. Timpanogos; the closest I've come is a couple visits to Sundance during my two-year sojourn in Utah. Reading On Zion's Mount was my introduction to the cultural touchstone, and, as we have seen in Jared Farmer's book, imagined landmark that is Timp. Central to Farmer's book is the question of how, as he says in his introduction, "a mountainous space [became] the mountain-place called "Timp" (Italics original, 3). Chapter nine, then, turns to the practices–more specifically, the performances–that uphold Timpanogos' usable past. This is a past that "concealed a double displacement—the literal displacement of the Timpanogos Utes, and the symbolic displacement of their lake," as Farmer writes in his introduction (5).
In his introduction, Farmer marks the difference between landscapes and landmarks, explaining that landmarks are "legible feature[s] of the landscape where meaning is concentrated" (5). Landmarks are always created, they always require upkeep and maintenance, but they are not always manmade, as the history of Timp shows us. In chapter nine, Farmer moves to memory studies, discussing the forgetting and remembering that allowed Timp to emerge as a memory site. He discusses how local scouts played at being both Indians and pioneers as they ascended and descended the mountain, telling and retelling the legends associated with the mountain around campfires and on hikes. Eugene Roberts' legend was performed and dramatized in other ways as well, including in opera—here Farmer goes on to describe the fascinating and "surprisingly rich history of musical Indian play" by which composers "represent[ed] and appropriat[ed]" native music for white audiences, sometimes with the cooperation of Indians (337). The 'performance' in this chapter's title ("Performing a Remembered Past") is thus partly literal, and Farmer details the many ways Timp's usable past came to life on stage, through storytelling, music, and other such avenues.
Farmer then moves to discuss how "[t]he fake-folk Legend of Timpanogos" becomes folklore, as "[b]y the time Eugene Roberts passed away … his legend no longer belonged to him. It belonged to the ordinary people who retold the story" (357) on car trips, during hikes, youth camps, and family gatherings. They added details and forgot others, but all feature a girl dying. (As Farmer dryly writes: "[n]o death, no story" [358].) Farmer investigates what, exactly, gives this tale its enduring quality, concluding that it helps "explain local topography … while expressing the pride of place felt by local residents" (359). But he warns that it doesn't just "explain topography; it creates it," as people now see an Indian woman outlined on the mountain; to be able to do so is a mark of belonging, in a sense, and "may help even the newest resident to feel a bit like a native" (361). [1]
But folklore about Timp also allows the largely white population to claim Indians as "fictive kin" and to 'honor' their past (361). Here, again, Farmer turns to the stage, as he describes a local ballet's annual performance of the Legend of Timpanogos that he claims is "almost as popular as The Nutcracker" and was also featured in the Winter Olympics (361). He highlights that for many residents of Utah County (largely white and largely Mormon), "the legend of Timpanogos constitutes the most memorable 'knowledge' about the Indians" Mormon settlers displaced (362). And the legend, as Farmer writes, "obscures the role of Mormons" in this displacement (363), highlighting again the role of forgetting in collective memory. Here, Farmer also discusses the changing place of Indians in Mormon thought, as Indian outreach programs ended and a shift quietly took place away from identifying Lamanites as the ancestors of American Indians, thus allowing Indians to fade from Mormon memory even more.
Any discussion of Mormon memory must, of course, mention the pioneers. Farmer takes on the Mormon tradition of playing pioneer in plays, and parades, and during treks, rightly noting that "[i]n Utah, pioneer worship is a civic religion" (371). This focus consciously or unconsciously "pushes" natives off the stage, as it were, and relegates them to "the realm of footnotes and folklore" (371). Anyone who studies Mormon collective memory recognizes the part that comes next: how the First Vision and the pioneer trek became the centerpieces of Mormon memory around which an institution could and would be built after the traumatic dismantling of the original celestial marriage system. Farmer takes this familiar scholarly narrative and quickly shows how that not only meant the erasure of polygamy from the Mormon story, but also Indians. Pioneers 'win,' in that sense, from both polygamists and Indians and continue to dominate Utah's public memory.
As a self-proclaimed insider-outsider, Farmer continually moves from viewpoint to viewpoint in this book, and ends his work with a discussion of the ways Utes themselves make use of the usable past and tell and retell stories about Timpanogos themselves. The book ends on an ambiguous note, as Farmer remarks that "[a]uthenticity is as elusive as it is desirable" (378); it is impossible to trace the legend back to its 'true' source, nor does truth exist here in any meaningful way. The legend of Mount Timpanogos is what people make it to be.
[1] Perhaps that helps explain my disconnect to Utah; although I lived in Utah for two years and moved away with sadness, as a Gentile and a European I never really did feel I would be allowed to claim it as home. Perhaps prolonged exposure to Mount Timpanogos was all I needed to prove to myself and others that I belonged. If I ever move back, I will have to test this theory.

Bauval and Hancock's new interpretations also take seriously, for the
first time, repeated, emphatic references (found within the Texts -- see
below), linking this Pyramid/Orion/Sirius/ Sphinx/Leo Connection to a
literal "First Time" -- the enigmatic, dramatic, apparently
catastrophic end... circa 10,500 BC... of a mysterious, pre-Egyptian,
potentially "high-tech" global terrestrial civilization (known later,
through Plato's own Egyptian sources, only as "Atlantis"). An extremely
ancient civilization, with equally mysterious "extraterrestrial" connections
(identified within the Texts)... still apparently echoed in the surviving
celestial identifications with particular "key" regions of the sky.
This new data reinforces earlier interpretations, by myriad
additional researchers (see Ship's Library and Ship's Stores), of increasing
world-wide evidence for the existence of a pre-Egyptian, remarkably sophisticated,
truly global culture... which flourished long before current "mainstream"
archaeological interpretations... and which in some manner ended abruptly
about 12,500 years ago.
Which brings us to the surprising connection of this diverse,
terrestrial research to the on-going, 14-year, extraterrestrial "Enterprise"

360 Degree Videos are now Live on Twitter and Facebook
For over a decade there has been a steady supply of new social platforms fighting to corner the market and reign supreme over the rest. Whether it's a trendy new tech company, or one of the original players such as Facebook, coming up with unique offerings creates constant excitement in the market. Video is the latest feature dominating news feeds. On Facebook alone, videos are being viewed 8 billion times a day. Although video by itself is not new or innovative, there are various platforms that are now supporting 360-degree video capabilities.
YouTube continues to be the dominant platform for video and started the trend for 360-degree video in March 2015. Facebook and Twitter were not far behind with launches of 360 support debuting a year later. Facebook Live 360 launched mid-December which was an addition to Facebook Live. Facebook Live 360 premiered with a live interactive feed on National Geographic's Facebook page from the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah. The 360 video featured eight scientists coming out of isolation after 80 days spent in simulated Mars-like conditions. Facebook Live 360 allows viewers to watch a live streaming video, while also giving them the ability to turn their phone or scroll their finger to look in any direction. Facebook is currently paying media partners to use the platform and broadcast to users. Facebook stated that over the next few months more pages will be selected to get the feature, but won't be available to all users until later this year.
Twitter felt the pressure from Facebook Live 360 which led them to launch 360-degree video live streaming on Periscope two weeks after the feature launched on Facebook. While anyone can watch "#Periscope360," only select partners are able to stream in 360. Even if a Twitter user has not downloaded the Periscope app, they will still see Periscope broadcasts in their timelines. By adding this feature, Twitter is hoping to not only remain competitive, but keep users within the platform instead of sharing Facebook or YouTube links.
360 Videos are becoming a fundamental part of sharing on social networks. Adding a live component to the already innovative 360 video capabilities creates a new way for users to engage and share content.
