4th Reich? The Standards say it all!!!
Soooo...I watched a the video of President Obama giving a little speech at a state banquet being hosted for him in Germany. It was boring, so my eyes wandered...you know whenever he does things like this you will always find behind him the Standards of the Host and the Visitor arranged in little buckets...
I think what got me was that Third Standard...Although Obama has visited many European Countries before, I have never seen ANY single Country at a State Banquet, elevate the flag of the European Union, akin to their own or the visitors.
Angela Merkel knows that Berlin, rather then Brussels IS the European Union, although the parliaments, courts, and chit chat take place in a different country, the real problem is, that Europe runs on Money...the person with the most money is the person who is incharge because they can effectively refuse consent to any project they wish, and cause that project to flop, due to lack of funds.
By peaceful Treaty, Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, in the same Historic Office as Adolf Hitler, effectively directly controls SEVENTEEN out of the Twenty Five Soverign Nations which form the European Union...She has already replaced Two of the Seventeen Governments without the use of democratic vote. and further Four have been threatened in the last three years, and a further one has yet to be dealt with.
Whilst her Empire isnt quite as big as that dominated by the Third Reich, which also included part of Africa (Merkel has none) and parts of Russia (Merkel is slowly melting and adding more states in the Eastern bloc at present) it is more stable...There is no war...just a few short lasting violent protests...and so without economic ruin (not just "crisis") no particular end of this dominance in sight.
I hope that in the Referendum, schedualed in this country for 2016ish, the British people will decide to leave the European Union (thankfully, we are not one of the Seventeen very unlucky members) Sorry, but I for one, certainly do not want to see a Federal Republic of Europe under the control of the German Chancellor...I dont want to see a Federal Union AT ALL. I dont like the financial bonds, I dont like the Judicial bonds...and I flat out refuse political unity with some of those monsterous nations. The last thing (forgive me) we want is to end up like the United States of America, where Soverign States are Governed from One City, by a Single Big Government.
No Thank You!
Rumour has it, that there is even a german contingency for if the Euro Currency actually fails all together.
Its called The Deutsche-mark...apparently, they have been printed ready to distribute to the Seventeen Euro Currency States...you know...just incase
the was the press conference
oh...and another thing...Merkel mentions a "Free trade aggreement" being conducted between Europe and America...bear in mind, the European Union started life as NOTHING MORE THEN AN EXCHANGE RATE MECHANISM FOR FREE TRADE ON THE CONTINENT
You do realize, that eventually the United States, like any other Soverignty, stands to become, essentially part of the European Federation.
THIS guys is World Wide Big Government it would effectively make a Single Federal Government...and trust me when I say...it WONT be under Washington long term...it will end up under Berlin if it mutates the same way as it did in Europe.
How long before America joins the Union then. LMAO!

So these 17 are under her, or rather, Germany's control? Shades of Hitler but she's just going about it differently?
I saw some of Obama's Brandenburg Gate speech talking about nuclear reductions again and quoting from JFK's historic speech. I also read some of it online. When I read this part, the last line, I was, "Me too!"
It's never a question of IF a human government will become corrupt, it's a question of how quickly a human government will decay into hopeless corruption.
So, the US putting itself back under the boot heel of Europe is a horrible mistake and would completely erase over 200 years sovereignty and freedom in this nation.
The only way a one-world government will work is after Christ's return during the Millennial Reign; but that's because He will be ruling over the Earth with an iron fist as a perfect and incorruptible leader.
There are, to be frank, only two ways to sort this problem out.
1 Do not use the same currency (as the others in the Union have opted for)
2 One Central Political Union which can apply financial matters across the entire Seventeen.
At present, neither is happening, and this is why the crisis continues.
Germany would like one central political union, under their judgement. This would effectively render Germany in control financially of all Seventeen, and therefore in control of Seventeen Economies. The Seventeen are supposed to be trying to work this out in a treaty...but its caused a split in the Union, because it makes it two tier...Those States in the union that do not have political unity, and those that do. The nearest American ulternative would be to say that Texas remains in the American Union...but uses its own texan dollar, sets its own economy and financial status outside of any federal reserve....it wouldnt work very well....
Soooo...what happens is that when a one of the seventeen dont do so well, Germany offers to bail them out IF AND ONLY IF they do what Germany says...and sometimes that is as abrupt as to order the replacement of the entire Government of the troubled Seventeen State...if they refuse...the Germany with-holds the money.
No less then Twice has a European Country lost its Government in this way, including Greece and Italy. Spain, Portugal, The Republic of Eire have been warned. Cyprus was the latest casualty...and rumour has it Slovenia is about to go tits up.
Ultimately, its very plain to see, that the only way out of this mess, with a future for the Union, is full financial and political union, under the State with the most money. Once that has happened for the Seventeen, you will find the Union for the rest of the members becomes unworkable, and they either join the Euro, or leave...most will remain because they are landlocked and have given too much away already.
Follow that with a Treaty between the Two Strongest Unions...and its only a matter of time before one displaces the other. My bet is that Europe will win over the United States, because unfortunately, the State of the American Union is such that each of the individual states long since gave their soverignty up....and whilst technically it is a Union of Fifty Soverignties...for the sake of the way that Europe works, Washington is America...Get Washington in your pockets, and by default, you have control of everything. The individual states have less to give up, they just go with the autonomous flow.
We have taken about fourty years to get from Exchange Rate Mechanism, to Single Currency...I suspect a Full Federalized Union in Europe by 2020 under Germany, and say another thirty odd years to suck in the Americans once they realize they are no longer a super power and we have to stick together coz of the Chinese advance...and you will have one Federal Western World.
That will be Half a World Government. Then it will be deals with China...because you always have to deal with someone outside yourself....you can see the way this goes.....
Effectively Germany already has control being the biggest financial hand in the Union...soon it will have actual control, in a political union...and then She'll come sailing across the Atlantic to invade the New World
All by harmless treaty, of course...not a drop of blood shed.
its like the US Union ON ACID!
The other Joke is, its BECAUSE of the investment to rebuild Germany, that the Germans are the most wealthy, and therefore, obviously incharge as the biggest contributor.
So what you have is a Fourth Reich, by treaty, rather then a Third Reich by war.
The force thats brought the US and EU together is one of the knowledge that they need each other for trade and investment, because their empires are so vast, who else will they trade with...and with times being hard...and positions on the world stage being eclipsed...you know...strength in numbers.
But I am NOT kidding you when I say...you do NOT want to be part of this. I may speak harshly against YOUR Union....but your Union is a pussy cat compared to such an ancient hostile force as Old Europa....America may be a Mighty Dragon.....but Europe is a plague! She appears harmless, lulls one into a false sence of security, and then snaps her jaws shut like a venus flytrap
We have been playing politics for One Thousand Five Hundred years in our Current Form...Two Thousand if you include our Infancy...it would almost be better for the US to go to China instead

by John MacArthur
Do discernment and divisiveness go hand in hand? Is it true that the term discernment is often employed as a cover for a contentious or critical spirit?
Let's acknowledge that there are unscrupulous people who, under the guise of "biblical discernment," engage in unbrotherly criticism. Their tactics often include innuendo, character assassination, guilt by association, and other dishonest methods. They weave conspiracy theories, sensationalize their attacks against others, and favor personal slurs over substantive doctrinal analysis. Militant fundamentalism has made this type of criticism its specialty. As a consequence, that movement has steadily lost its influence, forfeited its credibility, and fragmented into tiny, warring factions. My appeal for discernment is not a call to that sort of factious attitude.
Undoubtedly the prevalence of hypercritical attitudes among some fundamentalists has caused a backlash that has only accelerated the decline of discernment in the church. We rightfully deplore a pugnacious spirit. No true Christian wants to be contentious. No one who has the mind of Christ enjoys conflict. Obviously, harmony is preferable to discord. But when some crucial truth is at stake, how do we display the mind of Christ? Certainly not by allowing the error to go unchallenged. If we truly are to be like our Savior, we must both proclaim truth and condemn error in unambiguous language (see Matthew 23).
That means we must learn to discriminate. In modern usage, the word discrimination carries powerful negative connotations. But the word itself is not negative. Discriminate simply means "to make a clear distinction." We used to call someone "a discriminating person" if he exercised keen judgment. "Discrimination" signified a positive ability to draw the line between good and evil, true and false, right and wrong. In the heyday of the American civil-rights movement, the word was widely applied to racial bigotry. And, indeed, people who make unfair distinctions between races are guilty of an evil form of discrimination.
Unfortunately, the word itself took on that negative connotation, and the sinister implication is often transferred to anyone who tries to discriminate in any way. To view homosexuality as immoral (1 Corinthians 6:9–10; 1 Timothy 1:9–10) is condemned now by the politically correct as an unacceptable form of discrimination. To suggest that wives ought to submit to their own husbands (Ephesians 5:22; Colossians 3:18) is now classified as unfair discrimination. To suggest that children ought to obey their parents (Ephesians 6:1) is also labeled unjust discrimination by some. We see more and more that anyone who "discriminates" these days risks becoming a target of boycotts, protests, and lawsuits. We are not supposed to draw lines. That is the spirit of this age, and unfortunately, it has crept into the church.
If we are going to be discerning people, we must develop the skill of discriminating between truth and error, good and bad. The original languages of Scripture convey this very idea. The main Hebrew word for "discernment" is bin. That word and its variants are used hundreds of times in the Old Testament. It is often translated "discernment," "understanding," "skill," or "carefulness." But in the original language it conveys the same idea as our word discrimination. It entails the idea of making distinctions. Jay Adams points out that the word bin "is related to the noun bayin, which means 'interval' or 'space between,' and the preposition ben, 'between.' In essence it means to separate things from one another at their points of difference in order to distinguish them." Discernment, then, is a synonym for discrimination. In fact, the Greek verb translated "discern" in the New Testament is diakrinō. It means "to make a distinction" and is translated that way in Acts 15:9.
So discernment is the process of making careful distinctions in our thinking about truth. The discerning person is the one who draws a clear contrast between truth and error. Discernment is black-and-white thinking—the conscious refusal to color every issue in shades of gray. No one can be truly discerning without developing skill in separating divine truth from error.
Does Scripture tell us how to be discerning? It certainly does. Paul sums up the process in 1 Thessalonians 5:21–22: "Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil." There, in three straightforward commands, he spells out the requirements of a discerning mind.
And that's where we'll pick it up next time.

Discernment is what is lacking among many Christian churches, particularly the Charismatic movement and now with the Catholic Renewed Charismatic movement. Seemingly, history is repeating itself to the days of the Reformation, where many believers decided to get out of the Roman Catholic church and thus (as a proof of discernment) the Reformation adherents drew a line against heretic teachings and one of those lines is Sola Scriptura.
Try to watch this clip and see how the cycle of history repeats itself and to see for yourself if you would practice discernment:
Thanks Pastor John! God bless you and your ministry!
Pastor John,
I don't know you personally but you have never given me the impression through your ministry that you are a divisive person. Biblical truth can certainly be divisive and you take a stand for that truth as well or better than any pastor I've encountered. Anyone who takes such a stand for Christ's sake is going to feel the weight of his/her own cross. Matthew 16:24-25
I just want to thank you and your entire staff at Grace to You. This ministry is such a blessing and encouragement to me over 1,000 miles away, just outside St. Louis. I don't typically thank the Lord for the internet but this ministry is a good occasion for that, ha. I know there are many people who are appreciative of the work you all are doing for His Kingdom but I just wanted to drop a quick line to hopefully give back a fraction of the encouragement that you have given me through your service. Thank you and all praise and honor to our wonderful Savior.
Discernment will be evident when a saved person studies the Scripture, the historicity of Christianity, and the Orthodoxy of Doctrines, among others. Antithetical to discernment is when the teachers say, "throw your doctrines…", or "it is the glory of God that glues us together and not doctrine"; which in turn is diabolical.
With this link, many must be able to practice discernment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehFpeVGLyxs
Might I suggest that while critiquing some ones (Lloyd-Jones, Hodge, Piper...etc.) that we have a difference with in an unbalance way, "confused", is an unhealthy form of divisiveness.
I have no profound comment to add. I just wanted to thank all of you for your ministry. Your love for truth is so encouraging. I don't know if you are aware (you probably are) of how difficult it is for the average christian to find a church that not only teaches truth but can even discern truth. It sometimes seems like a spiritual wasteland out here. My husband and I have experienced first hand the backlash from fellow believers by respectfully questioning the doctrinal soundness of some of the most popular evangelical books marketed to christians (i.e. Jesus Calling, Heaven is for Real, etc.). We have found out if you want to be part of the club, relationships trump truth every time. Your ministry maybe only one of a few to which we can turn for encouragement to discern and discriminate. We will keep you in our prayers and again thank you so much John and all the Grace to You staff for you faithful service.
Susan (David's Wife)
It is such a sad thing the enemy has the populas deceived so thoroughly that the majority won't even try to listen to sound doctrine. They scream "don't judge " while refusing to read GODS WORD for themselves, only placing there faith in what a man (or at times a woman) preaches to them. My whole family is in that phony charismatic sinking boat. I pray the scales be removed from there eyes. Thank you GTY, for refusing to comprise

Forest Records meet up – 18 january 2007
Timing – How long can a 7" be? Dan will investigate. He will contact Keith.
Music – John Crave can be on but only as another tune due to the iron fist of Palmer. We listened to 'From' from 'Octopok', it was good. 'Yeah' we said. 'A good compromise'. 'Yeah'. So it could end the 7" nicely. Dai doesn't like it. On second listening we weren't so sure. Palmer is going to pick the best Crave song ever and present it to us for our listening pleasure. We like Blasted Heath and Adam Kovacs so far…
So line up = Pendulums, UnMe, Crave and DRock
Pendulums have 2 weeks to rerecord song. This offer cordially extended to all groups involved. New deadline for material is 01 Feb 2007.
Prices – We like heavy vinyl. It's worth it and good. Forest Working Group needs to approve this before we move on it.
Cover and mastering will be more, like £200 more at least. So total will be around £800 for 250 records. That comes out at £3.20 a record. It's quite a lot. Some of these will be distributed to the right people, but only the right people and only for the right reasons. If you look inside yourself long enough you will discover you know what these are.
Art – 'Art battle!!!!!'. Four pig versus drillmeros. Who will be the victor? We don't know. Four pig will draw with her feet. We are excited. The artists are being tempermental bastards. They will provide us with designs by 8 February 2007. But they need information. Even if it's not true, they still want it, they still need it.
It needs a name. What'll we call it. Choices are: 'My Beat is a Forest. 'Forest' or 'nothing' . Not the word nothing, just nothing. The absence of a name.
Four pig walked out in silent protest. Dirty protest.
Done is done.
Done and done again.

No Luxuries in the Himalayas
An extraordinary footrace around the world's eighth-highest mountain
Lizzy Hawker in the trail up to Larkya La, the high pass preceding the final stage. Photo by Richard Bull.
Our race began on the banks of the Budi Gandaki river in Nepal. The inaugural 132-mile Manaslu Mountain Trail stage race—a partial circumnavigation of the 26,000-foot peak of Manaslu—would take 40 runners on a seven-stage (nine-day) jatra, or tough journey, deep into remote regions in the Himalayas.
It was warm at our starting altitude of around 2000 feet. Villages peppered our rocky route along the steep-sided river gorge, where rice paddies were gradually replaced by fields of millet, barley and maize. In the pine forests of the higher valleys, descending trains of pack mules sometimes slowed us runners. Laughing children greeted us in the villages.
Because everything in the high valleys of Nepal is carried in by foot, luxuries disappeared as we went deeper into the mountains. Washing was limited to the cold water of the village tap and electricity was scarce. "Doing without" gave us appreciation for the small things: a soothing mug of hot lemon tea at a checkpoint, a warm stove on a cold night, a fluttering prayer flag to lift our spirits.
After a relatively gentle first day of racing (16 miles, 900 feet elevation gain), village children showed us the way to a natural hot springs in which to soak our tired feet. The next day, we broke away from the main trail to visit Serang Gompa, a secluded Buddhist monastery at 10,500 feet. Home to 80 monks and nuns, it is tucked away from the outside world, surrounded by icy walls stretching up to 23,000-foot summits.
That night, we shared dinner around a fire under the stars. The squat toilets, relentless bugs and lack of contact with home pushed many runners out of their comfort zones—and the accumulating exhaustion was as much mental as it was physical. Said Chris Ord of Australia, "The Himalayan mountains are my latest love—one that lured me in, then smashed my spirit into oblivion, to the point where a simple step forward seemed impossible."
We woke up for a blessing from the Rinpoche before heading back out through a forested hillside and descending through isolated villages to the lower valley. We emerged around 10,000 feet, where the narrow forested gorge gave way to wide-open terraces from which mountains rose to lofty heights.

Posted on 01/02/2013 8:47:00 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
A naked intruder who was trying to choke a pet Rottweiler was shot by a homeowner in Miami Wednesday morning, police said.
The bizarre incident happened around 5 a.m. in the area of Northwest 2nd Avenue and 56th Street when the occupants of the home were awoken when they heard a commotion and dogs barking.
When the homeowner went to check out the noise, he confronted the suspect, who was completely naked and trying to choke one of the dogs, police said.
"He comes out and spots a person who is not only fighting with this dog but is naked fighting with this dog," Miami Police spokesman Det. Willie Moreno said.
The homeowner opened fire twice, hitting the suspect in the leg once. The homeowner held the man until the police arrived.
The intruder was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center where his condition was unknown. Police said he tried to bite the homeowners and police and workers at the hospital, and may be under the influence of drugs.

"For right now it does appear to be a justified shooting," Moreno said. "This individual was acting irrational, fighting with the dog, and not only that, but at the point that the homeowner attempted to get this individual's attention, he immediately jumped onto the owner and started fighting with him."
Police said the suspect, who refused to give his identity, will be charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling with assault, animal cruelty, resisting arrest with violence and lewd and lascivious behavior.
Anyone who recognizes him is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
Just paint him with bacon grease and throw him to the dogs as is.
Just paint him with bacon grease and throw him to the dogs as is.
Must'a been sniffing Bark Salts.
There is something seriously wrong with the water in Florida. Way too many of these crazies.
And the moral of the story is...
Don't get naked and choke other people's dogs at 5 o'clock in the morning.
Gee... Ya Think?
No means no, even if she's a real barker.
"Nude, drugged, and choking Rotties is no way to go through life."
That would take big hands!
What's up with all of these Obama supporters running around naked with Samurai swords and choking Rottweilers? I've heard of "spiking the football" but this is getting out of hand.
Naked Man Who Was Choking Dog
At first glance I thought this happened at Capitol hill in the fiscal cliff negotiations.
A little bizarre. Just a little.
Sorry, I know it's serious but ROFL.
Thanks for the clarification officer. One would hope that falls into the realm of justified.
Reminds me of a sign my former neighbor had on the front of his house:
"Never mind the dog. Beware of the owner."
"At first glance I thought this happened at Capitol hill in the fiscal cliff negotiations."
Must've got it mixed up with naked Bawney Fwank choking chicken on White House lawn.
Is aw an earlier article where Boehner told Reid to "Go f... himself".
Trey's older, still warm brother? Whey da skittles / kibbles?
The Rottie sure needed more training. Hard to believe he could get the best of this kind of dog.
To try to choke a Rottie?
No, not really.
Succeeding at choking a Rottie, yeah, big hands...
I wonder if that's the same bro that was on TV strolling thru Wallyworld nekkid. He was a heavy-set dude, but this guy really doesn't look that heavy.
LOL, "MAY be under the influence of drugs"?????? ;)
OK. That did it.
I was just reading the thread on the school suspending a 6yo for pointing an assault finger and using illegal vocal effects. I didn't think I could read of anything more asinine by man nor beast.
I was wrong.
I am now convinced humanity is too freaking far gone to survive. And I no longer think it should. Let's just stop breeding and die off with the minimum dignity remaining in the overall species.
Gee.. Ya Think? LOL!
Nope- That was Ronnie Earle, Travis Co., TX DA-
And they legalize marijuana.
When seconds count, the PoPo are a million miles away.
Wrong thread.
The homeowner probably saved they guy's life by shooting him, and rescuing him from a Rottweiler counterattack. :)
"Life is a Rottweiler and I'm wearing milkbone underwear." Nekkid Norm
Guess he was just trying to get Obama some dinner.
Good thing the homeowner didn't have chickens...
I think that particular specimen was far more than two standard deviations from the mean, and only marginally rates being called "humanity".
Nuff said.
I think I would have just watched the fun for a while unless it was a very undersized Rottweiler.
...why am I not surprised.
"The homeowner opened fire twice, hitting the suspect in the leg once."
Needs more time at the range.
The face eating guy was naked too. I think those "bath salt" drugs raises body temperature so high the druggie has to strip. So crazy!
Could've been worse. He might not've been fighting the dog
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
UH, Don't come home a drinkin with lovin on your mind?
And just went to the wrong house?
The whole trick is know when to stop. ;^)
The homeowner was not thinking. He should have shot the naked man in the 6alls. There is no reason why this human mutation needs to procreate.
Maybe the leg was the only target that would not endanger the dog.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (110 votes).
In short: Great race, good organisation, v hotIn full: I did the 20-22miler.Directions were good, but my reading of them not so great! My 1st event with navigation! I took plenty of fluids which was lucky as it was v hot.It is such a cheap race, but well organised. Make no mistake this is a tough race with varied terrain.An improvement on the directions would be to say where the direction arrows will be at, so you can be sure you know where you are at on the directions.Overall a great race and I will be back next year.Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: Fantastic 28 mile trail marathon!!In full: Did the full marathon again and this year it started from the football club so was in fact nearer 28 miles but as far as I'm concerned every mile on this course is great. It was too hot for getting anywhere near a PB as this was my 3rd time over this course but it was so hot that it was harder work than normal. Got very dehydrated for last 10 miles and so should have taken more water with me for the run. Great revamp of the football club and facilities there now. Once again this has to be one of the best value marathons anywhere and I'll be back. One thing I would like to see in the future is a medal or what ever we get to finish that distinguishes between whether we done the full, half or 20 as we all got the same buff.Date of review: September 10, 2012
In short: Excellent course, but one for the prepared. Its a challenge trail race!In full: Well I was told it would be hard but what with the very hot conditions yesterday I found this a tough going. I am used to running off road but this was hardwork. However reflecting on it the day after I did really enjoy this and its a very well organised race with directions, map and a garmin route to download. Don't go out expecting a road race this is a race you have to navigate and carry water,gels etc to get you round. I was suprised after crossing the line to be offered a choice of memento, buff or mug given it only cost £9 to enter. Hot showers were welcome. I believe there was free food and drink as well but I had to go given I was 1hr 15mins outside of my PB time for road! This is great race just, go out enjoy it but and don't worry about your time.Date of review: September 10, 2012
In short: Loverly run with lots of variety, hills and views. A bit too warm in the afternnon.Date of review: September 10, 2012
In short: Challenging run, then the clue was in the titleIn full: Nice to speak with so many runners, often trying to find the way! It was hot, and I should have been better organised with own water.A faultles, low priced run. Great works (and great hot showers) Date of review: September 9, 2012
In short: Gorgeous trail race through wonderful and varied sceneryIn full: A big thanks to the organisers. This is my second time on the half marathon course. A very very friendly bunch of people at race HQ. (race HQ is excellent by the way) Maybe because it is off road, largely unmarked and definitely not suitable for a PB, my fellow runners were also extremely friendly and I chatted to more people on the course than I ever have at any race before. No problems with getting lost on route thanks to the course being uploaded on my GarminThe downs themselves are of course beautiful but it was the range of terrain and scenery that made it very special. It was hard as nails today due to the 25C+ temperature. Only potential improvement would be more water stations... only 2 on a half marathon course in this heat was an issue, though to be fair it was clear on pre-race instructions that this was the case so I should have brought more liquid with me.A great race, thank you!Date of review: September 9, 2012
In short: Rolling hills and cross country style course made this an excellent eventIn full: Excellent race. I was late to the registration and a marshal gave me a lift to the start! Above and beyond and all that. The course itself is very different to the normal road races I run and excellent fun.Date of review: September 15, 2011
In short: Hilly Muddy Adventurous playful 20 milerIn full: 2nd year and will do it again lovely 20 miler which you do at your own pace it's great fun well organised be prepared to find your own way around though ;-). Hilly, Muddy, through woods great training run for Autumn Marathons. Great showers at end, Sandwiches and Cake thrown in. Well done Dunstable RR see you next year.Date of review: September 13, 2011
In short: Excellent value for money again in DunstableIn full: Did the full marathon distance at this underrated fantastic value for money event. When you pays your money you know that its gonna be a course that has no markings but as its called a challenge thats exactly what you get a challenge. Considering there are events out there at more than in some cases 4 times the cost you still get enough checkpoints with all the necessary stuff you need, water, jelly babies etc. It is a little hilly in places but once you've done a few on the circuit like the South Downs and Beachy Head then Dunstable is very manageable and very beautiful and scenic. I'll be back.Date of review: September 12, 2011
In short: Not to be entered into lightly!In full: Not the easiest place to find and with no warning of the distance from HQ to the start we would undoubtedly have been late starters were is not for the very kind marshall who gave us a lift to the start ..thank you. He warned us that the start was rather hilly but that it flattened out for the next 7 miles or so and then he went a bit vague...and rightly so because flat does not readily spring to mind when I relive the race! Those first few miles were as hideous as expected although the scenery spectacular .The marshalls were lovely and at no time did i get that sense of rush and urgency that so often accompanies road races..the chocolate and jelly babies very welcome although one more station would have been welcomed.What spoilt the race for me was not getting lost twice, nor was it the strong winds and rain that accompanied my last 4 miles..it was the finish...an overlong trek along a sparsely populated footpath, yet another trudge across a ploughed field and then the dreaded school field ( thank god we didn't have to run round it) to be greeted reluctantly by the finishing team who came out from behind their umbrellas /trees without so much as a cheer or smile to give us our mugs ( not that I don't sympathise with them...I am sure I would have found it hard to be enthusiastic in that weather after so many hours waiting but it would have been nice). As for the mug...well..it would have been a more welcome sight had it been filled with hot sweet tea....but, the food at the end looked plentiful and was no doubt much appreciated by those that had some and the showers were excellent . Not sure i would do it again as I am not a hill runner but I do have good memories and it certainly a race to be done even if it is only the once.Date of review: September 12, 2011

The Queenstown Dream - Page 5
TRAILHEAD: Queenstown, New Zealand
Getting There. Flights from Los Angeles to New Zealand's main airport hub and largest city, Auckland, on the country's north island, last 12 to 14 hours. The flight from Auckland to Queenstown takes approximately 90 minutes. Plan for a day and a half for travel.
Trail Maps. Outside Sports on Shotover Street in central Queenstown offers a wide selection of quality outdoor gear. Upstairs in the same building is Queenstown's branch office of New Zealand's Department of Conservation (DOC), which can provide invaluable information and maps on regional trails.
Gear. Queenstown's only running shoe store, Frontrunner, is located at the corner of Beech and Cow Lane. The staff is friendly but shoes are almost double the cost of U.S. retail shops'.
Local Transportation. Queenstown offers numerous car-rental options and shuttle-bus services. Unfortunately, during the heavy summer (December through March) and winter (June through September) tourist seasons, car rentals quickly sell out. Make a reservation in advance. Economical shuttle buses are available from central Queenstown, and travel to many popular outdoor destinations. Lastly, Connecta Bus is Queenstown's answer to public transportation and connects the town to all adjacent towns and the Queenstown Airport.
Food. Winnie's, in the heart of Queenstown, sells large custom pizza pies covered in generous toppings, with chewy crust. The domestic beers on tap include the excellent lagers Speight's, Steinlager and Monteith, to name a few. Locals go gaga over Ferburgers big burgers and atmosphere. Queenstown tourists and locals flock to Patagonia Chocolates for a wide array of mouth-watering sweets, ice cream and coffee drinks; it is also one of the few locations in Queenstown offering free Wi-Fi so you can email sweet trail-running pictures with a mouth full of gelato. New Zealand is famous for its seafood and Wai is known for its diverse selection and quality. Queenstown is located in New Zealand's Central Otago region, which is known for its wine production, pinot noir, in particular.

Graduate Curriculum for Biological Information Specialists: A Key to Integration of Scale in Biology
2007, Vol. 2, No. 2, pp. 31-40
Scientific data problems do not stand in isolation. They are part of a larger set of challenges associated with the escalation of scientific information and changes in scholarly communication in the digital environment. Biologists in particular are generating enormous sets of data at a high rate, and new discoveries in the biological sciences will increasingly depend on the integration of data across multiple scales. This work will require new kinds of information expertise in key areas. To build this professional capacity we have developed two complementary educational programs: a Biological Information Specialist (BIS) masters degree and a concentration in Data Curation (DC). We believe that BISs will be central in the development of cyberinfrastructure and information services needed to facilitate interdisciplinary and multi-scale science. Here we present three sample cases from our current research projects to illustrate areas in which we expect information specialists to make important contributions to biological research practice.

Here at Eastwood our roots are in vintage American steel. While most are die-hard American Muscle fans, I tend to stray from the norm and enjoy seeking out oddball cars to lust over. A recent pipe-dream project of mine has been a nostalgic Japanese car. After finding the Japanese Nostalgic Car Blog/Fourms I can't seem to get my mind off of building a vintage Japanese car.
Most might cringe at the thought of even discussing tinkering with Japanese cars. I think this is because of the period of "Fast and the Furious" copycat cars that instantly makes most turn their nose when these cars are discussed. But if you look past that, there is a community restoring vintage Toyotas, Hondas, Mazdas, Mitsubishis, Datsun/Nissans, Subarus, and most anything JDM with the same care that you may take on your 69 Camaro or your 57 Chevy.
I am currently keeping my eyes out for a large 70's Toyota sedan (the look of a 70's Cressida lowered makes my heart melt) for a fun cruiser, and a little Honda CVCC project to "hotrod" with a friend of mine. Just something about rolling up to a car gathering, and people scratching their heads! Either way, we are all trying to restore classic cars around here, and everyone can bond over the hard work put into each others ride.
Here are a few of my recent favorite Classic Japanese Car pictures I've found while browsing. Enjoy!

The joy of nature from home
Jam of the week: "Fools Rush In" by Doris Day and Andre Previn
Nature documentaries have always been among my favorite television programs. I received a copy of "Planet Earth" for Christmas and picked up a cheap two-pack of the documentaries "Frozen Planet" and "Life" last weekend. They've been getting me through dry spell between television seasons and there are many things I appreciate about the shows.
First and foremost is the sense of escapism I find in watching these programs. As much as I would like to visit the arctic tundra, in the summer, the plains of Africa, in the winter, or the coral reefs off of Australia, at any point, it's not really feasible. Work, monetary costs and a slight fear of being eviscerated by a large predatory animal keep me from going there.
In these documentaries, I get to see all these places that are largely untouched by civilization. While I do find some appreciation for the local fauna and foliage, these documentaries often show the rarest and endangered species of the planet. The dedication of the camera crews that go off to exotic locations is incredible. Seeing their work behind the scenes, they wait for hours, often in harsh conditions, to get minutes of footage.
Documenting these parts of an ecosystem, especially from the scientific standpoints they are often presented from, intrigue me. I don't often think about the creatures around me unless I'm worried about encountering one at high speed in my car. That scientific standpoint is important, because there are plenty of shows that talk about animals in a personal fashion.
I watched "Meerkat Manor" with my mom religiously for a few seasons. My only quip with the program was that they presented their social structure and lives as if it were a human drama. While Meerkats have a very interesting social structure governed by a single matriarch, the show sometimes veered from the scientific towards an emotional narrative.
A more egregious example of this is seen on "Too Cute," a show that documents the early lives of puppies and kittens. The show doesn't try to present itself as anything more than approximately 44 minutes of cute animals. However, I remember my Biology teacher in high school who took a portion of a class period to explain the fallacy of trying to explain animalistic behavior with human emotions such as happiness or sadness. I already get enough human emotion when I watch these nature documentaries with other people.
Shared viewing of these documentaries alters my experience of them. I mostly enjoy watching these program with people that share a deep awe of the intricacies of our planet. Still, that same group includes people that will break from that awe on occasion. When viewing "Life" in college with several friends, one simply refused to watch the episode covering insects. While I will drop everything I am doing and go on the hunt the moment I notice a spider in a space I am occupying, I can still get past that primal fear out of curiosity when presented in a scientific fashion.
Similarly, there are the people who gasp in horror when a predator catches its prey. One memorable one was an arctic fox snatching a goose duckling from its nest. Some just can't get past the death of what they perceive as cuteness. Of course, the irony of their horror comes when that fox returns to its den to feed its pups, who are also pretty darn cute. Did "The Lion King" teach you nothing other than how Shakespeare continues to influence modern media?
An important note of my enjoyment of nature documentaries are the narrators. To modernize an old phrase, I would pay David Attenborough to read my spam folder. The spectacle, the time and effort and thoughts and feelings these documentaries inspire in people will keep me watching as long as there is a nature to watch.

I hope all of my American readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! The day after Thanksgiving is "Black Friday", the unofficial starting data for shopping for upcoming holiday presents and decorations. The Monday after that is now often referred to as "Cyber Monday", where many people purchase items on-line.
I thought this would be good time to promote my book series, Inside System Storage, Volumes I through V. These are available direct from my publisher, [Lulu], or from other on-line retailers.
The old adage "Never judge a book by its cover" often leads technical authors to select bland cover designs. I designed the cover art for the series to have a consistent look, but be unique enough to know each book is different. They all have a beige background with black text, three or four graphics representing the various storage themes du jour, and a color stripe spread diagonally across the spine.
Several readers have asked if there was any rhyme or reason for the color of each spine. One guessed it was based on the [electronic color code] used on resistors to mark their value. When I was getting my college degree in Electrical Engineering, the mnemonic "Better Be Right Or Your Great Big Venture Goes West" helped us remember the sequence: Black, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Grey and White.
I can assure everyone I was not that clever. Here, instead, is the story behind each color chosen:
Volume I: Green
I received a flyer from Barnes and Noble advertising various books on sale. One caught my eye, so I went to buy it, but forgot to bring the flyer with me. A young woman offered to help me find it, but I could not remember the title, nor the editor, but it had a green cover, and was a collection of the world's shortest stories, all exactly 55 words in length, all winners in some high school contest. She found the flyer, looked up the book, and directed me to the shelf. After several minutes of her scanning the shelf by author, I reached for it, saying, "Here it is, the green one. This shade of green will fit perfectly in my collection of green books!" As I stood in line, the young woman told her boss, "That guy buys green books!" The rest of the folks in line overheard her, and all started laughing at her gullibility.
Volume II: Orange
In late 2007, I was under NDA to review the acquisition of a company called XIV. I was disclosed on the innovative design of the storage system, so that I could blog about it when the announcement was formal. This box would have a distinctive orange stripe across the disks. The announcement launch was a big success. Since then, every time the storage sales team needed a boost in sales for the [IBM XIV Storage System], I would write another blog about the clever features and capabilities.
Volume III: Purple
In 1996, I joined a social club called "Mile High Adventures and Entertainment", headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with locations in Phoenix, Tucson, San Diego, Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon. It was a group for singles to meet each other through social activities and events. A year later, it colapsed under the weight of heavy radio advertising debt. The local staff bought out the membership list, and launched a new club, under the name Tucson Fun and Adventures. It was a big part of my social life.
However, as the owners dropped out, one to start a family, another to take care of her father after her mother passed away, I started 2009 as the majority owner. The economic recession took its toll. Members were not spending as much of their disposable income of fun and entertainment. We restructured the company, revamped the website, and adopted Purple as our official color. Our event coordinators all wore purple shirts, and carried purple clipboards. Despite this major transformation, I just did not have time to run this company while still working full-time at IBM, so I sold it at year end.
Volume IV: Blue
As I mentioned in my blog post [IBM Introduces a New Era of Computing], IBM launched [PureSystems], a new family of expert-integrated systems. Since Volume IV was going to publish shortly after this announcement, I decided on the color blue to match the new door covers on the racks they came in. In less than a year, IBM has already sold over 1,000 of these systems in over 40 different countries.
Volume V: Grey
Chosing a color to represent the IBM Watson computer proved quite a challenge. I finally decided on grey, to represent "grey matter", a phrase often used to refer to the human brain. I picked a shade of grey that complements the three graphics that represent last year's strategic storage marketing themes. My blog post [How to Build Your Own Watson Jr. in your Basement] continues to be one of my highest read posts.
If you were having trouble getting ideas for gifts this holiday season, hopefully, this post gave you five new ideas for your friends, family, coworkers and clients! They are all available in hardcover, paperback, and eBook (PDF) for viewing on desktops, laptops, tablets or smartphones.
technorati tags: IBM, Cyber Monday, Black Friday, Thanksgiving, 55 Fiction, XIV, Tucson Fun & Adventures, PureSystems, IBM Watson

Therion - Lemuria/Sirius B
Lemuria/Sirius B
This is an older album that most have heard, but I'm wiritng a review for those who haven't heard it sense it's a must hear. I'm also very bored. Therion hired the Prauge Philharmonic Orchestra to record this double album of 21 songs with them, and it adds musical depth to this that otherwise couldn't have been achieved. I'm lucky enough to own the limited 500 copy vinyl, and let me tell you it sounds amazing. If you can't find the vinyl but still want to hear it in high quality there is a torrent floating around on the net with a 1.6 gig version that's pretty close.
Sirius B - Side A
The Blood of Kingu - This song kicks off Sirius B pretty well. This song has a thrashy main riff going for it latent with triplets and grandeur choirs in others. Mats Leven does the vocals on this song with amazing quality. As with all songs on this album, you can hear the philharmonic orchestra adding their sounds, which don't stick out badly at all, and seem as natural in this song as the heavy guitars do. Background info on the lyrics comes from Sumerian mythology, which says all humans were derived from the blood of the monster Kingu when he was slain by Marduk.
Son of the Sun - This song isn't as heavy as the first, a bit more melodic and soft. A female singer does the lead vocals on this track, deeper male vocals are added slightly to the background of the chorus. There is a catchy guitar pattern that plays in between the vocal melodies, which are the highlight of this song. Lyrics are about the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, who was considered blasphemous because of he decided to worship the sun god Aton instead of the other Egyptian dieties, making his formal title Son of the Sun.
The Khlysti Evangelist - This is my favorite song in both albums, which might be why my current avatar is set to the book art from this song. It starts off with some Russian church choir being played over a radio, then heavy guitar riffs kick in followed by a slight chorus and then we're blasted by Mats vocals. There is a much darker feeling in this song than the others, and this along with Blood of Kingu are the heaviest tracks on the album. There is a solo about 2/3 through that's pretty awesome aswell. The song is about Grigori Rasputin, who has a bit of mysterious history surrounding him, mostly about his death. Khlysti was an underground sect of Christianity in Russia, whome Rasputin belonged to. I feel that in some parts they're over-dramaticizing Rasputin just a bit with lyircs like "feel the ecstasy when he inverts the world" but it doesn't detract from the song.
Dark Venus Pheresphone - We're back to a slower song again with lead female vocals. I think to mood of this song can be compared to walking through a cave, which is what the song is basically about, and you can sense the bit of despair in this. The slow stringed insturments perfect the sound theyre trying to get here even more. The song is about, you guessed it, Pheresphone from Greek mythology, and I'm not going to write about her because everyone knows this story already.
Kali Yuga - This is a two part song. I'm told there is a third part that exists but it's not on this album and I haven't heard it. This song is about the Hindu religion's version of Armageddon. The first part is the slower one, but still has heavy tuned guitars chugging along through most of it. The vocals sound distorted, I guess to go along with the theme of the song. The first part doesn't last too long though, just goes through the chorus a couple times. Part two kicks in with chaotic wailing guitars and the overall theme has become more bombastic and epic sounding, I'm assuming to give the feeling you are deeper in the doomsday. The chorus has changed now instead of being sung in an almost folkish way to being screamed in high notes. For some reason or another my favorite part of this song is the little arabian violin doodle in between the lyrics of the first chorus of part two, dissapointingly it is replaced with other insturments when the chorus comes back around a second time.
Side B
Wonderous World of Punt - A bit boring compared to the other side, a slow song with acoustics and male tenor singers. There are some rich choirs here and mandolins to be noted. The solo comes from what sounds like a pipe organ. The song seems to get slightly more upbeat at the end. An interesting thing I read in the booklet is that the church that supplied their pipe organ for this album decided to remain anonymous in the credits, I wonder why. The song is about the city of Punt, which from what I understand, is something like Atlantis but located in Africa instead of under the Atlantic Ocean.
Melek Taus - A weird song about a giant bird. Musically it's fine, and is pretty peasant actually, with smooth guitars and grand choirs. It's the lyircs that do this song in, specifically when Mats Leven (I assume? although it could have been Christofer) opens up and sings "the Peacock God is here!" (wut?) and everything goes out the window. I'm sorry if I sound ethnocentric but I just can't take that seriously no matter how I look at it. The song would be fine if that one line was removed. Melek Taus is the main diety of the Yazidi (Kurds), who commonly takes the form of a peacock. And that's just silly.
Call of Dagon - Somewhat similar to the last song but more emphasis on guitars. Riffs play through the whole thing with more high noted choirs singing over them and fast heavy drumming. Dagon is Semetic a diety that was worshiped by the Amorites who lived east ot the Euphrates. Dagon is mentioned in alot of Lovecrafts books, and the Hebrew Bible as a major god worshiped by the Israelites enemies.
Sirius B - Po Tolo! Po Tolo! Po Tolo! Po Tolo! Po Tolo! Po Tolo! Po Tolo! Po Tolo! (repeat ad nauseam)
Voyage of Gurdjieff (The Fourth Way) - This song wraps up Sirius B and sounds almost like it could be used in a major hollywood fiction movie. There is some serious riffage going on at some parts, while others have light singing with delicate piano. Either way there is some great songwriting to be found here. Gurdjieff was an Armenian philosopher.
Lemuria - Side A
Typhon - I had to stop this song half way through and start it over with higher volume because this is some awesome shit here. Basically what "Blood of Kingu" was to Sirius B, the heavy song that starts things off. We get heavy riffs, a wailing solo, operatic choruses and Therion reintroduces the death metal growl. Put it all together and it's a recipie for one major ass kicking song. Typhon is from Greek mythology, the son of Gaia who tried to usurp Zeus.
Uthark Runa - This song keeps the pace, albiet without death growls. There seems to be a mixed choir here for the chorus "Hail! Hail! Hail the mystery!" Mats Leven rejoins us as the songs lead vocalist, with powerful shrieks and emotion as usual. The guitars keep the song upbeat and is helped along by the chants of the choir. This song is about deciphering runes.
The Three Ships of Berik, Part 1: Calling to Arms and Fighting the Battle - Fairy flutes, either love em or hate em, they open up this song and in my opinion work perfectly here to add the whole "high seas adventure" this song. We get treated to the usual riffs keeping the pace. Christofer (I think?) is throwing out some brutal death metal sounding vocals here, akin to Amon Amarth. It sounds like a weird combination but it all comes together nicely. Part 2: Victory is basically just a victory fanfare and nothing special.
Lemuria - The title track of this album, which this time is more than just one line repeated over and over. This song has a wonderful medieval sounding folkish melody but at the same time remains very calm with long notes held by the violins. The vocal medoldies complement the rythm held down by the guitars, there are some nice violin and flute sections here too. Lemuria is an ancient island of wonders that sank beneath the ocean, similar to the Atlantis myth but not as well known.
Side B
Quetzalcoatl - Eh I'm not really that impressed with this song sense it doesn't bring anything new to the album like other songs. It is basically just choirs and piano, very similar to Dark Venus Pheresphone. We all know who Quetzalcoatl was from freshman history in highschool, if you didn't pay attention then google it or something. This song is not about Cortes.
Dreams of Swedenborg - Continuing the slow trend of the last song, but more melodic and less chorus. Emanuel Swedenborg was a scientist and theologian from the 1700's who got visions from God through dreams, which he transcribed to wiritng to reform Christianity. He is famous in the fields of psychology and philosophy, hard to summarize it all.
An Arrow from the Sun - Starts off slow, and leads into some guitar riffs. The song is similar to Son of the Sun but more agressive and with male tenor vocals. There is alot going on here if you listen for all the insturments, don't write this one off if it doesn't grab you the first time.
Abraxas - There's some typical riffs trudging on here and some nice guitar melodies, but the main concentration seems to be the female vocals. Mats throws in an unexpected "yeaaaaaaaah" in this song but we don't hear him add much else. There is a cool little solo in here but it's pretty short. The letters ABRASAX are part of Greek alphabetic numerology and add up to 365, 365 was used to anoint certain spirits and dieties to the 365 circles of heaven radiating outward from the main god and the letters were carved on stones or pendants featuring dieties.
Feuer Overtüre/Prometheus Entfesselt - The final song on this album. The lyrics are in German, and translate to something about hailing Prometheus. This song sounds like Rammstein but with less suck and more culture. The Therion riffs are present in this song like all the others, but the focus tends to stay on the chorus.
PHEW! And that's the end. This album should be heard by everyone and has room for lots of repeat listens. Each song deals with a seperate topic that you can literally spend hours researching if you have the time and then comparing what you've learned back to the lyrics to appreciate them even more.
So get yourself a good a quality copy and pour yourself a glass of wine, or maybe a lager if that's more your style, and give it a spin. You'll like this album...
I guarentee it!
I've owned this for like 2 years and never sat down yet and listened to it straight through.
Maybe I should
mmm... I have eleven dollars store credit left from Christmas on iTunes, Lemuria or Sirius B?
I got no place, no name, I'm just a killing machine
I keep the population down, if you know what I mean
That's a pretty close call, but I'd personally go with Sirius B. But if you want the best songs from both of them, just get side A from each album until you can buy the second halfs.
