Spanish Colonial Revival Chair
- Description
- The production and exchange of ceramics, metalwork, textiles, and other crafts were part of the economies of the Southwest and Mesoamerica centuries before the arrival of Africans, Spaniards, and other Europeans in the Americas. While central Mexico was almost immediately connected to the global economy after the Spanish conquest in the early 1520s, New Mexico and other frontier areas remained isolated and relatively self-sufficient until the mid-1800s. Once New Mexico was incorporated into the United States however, wagon trains and then railroads brought in new English-speaking residents and tourists, unsettling the economies of the established Hispano and Pueblo communities. By the early 20th century, a new livelihood emerged for local artisans—the creation of crafts for the tourist market. The tourist market demanded products that were as much about stereotypes as they were about authenticity. This Spanish Colonial Revival chair was made by Hipólito Sisneros in 1945 while he was a student at the Taos Vocational Educational School. Using a decorative technique called chip-carving, Sisneros crafted this chair in the style of New Mexican furniture from the early 1800s. After the 1930s, many Hispanics and Native Americans were enrolled in craft schools like this in an attempt by the state of New Mexico to support local craft cooperatives that targeted Anglo-American consumers.

We started this roundup back in 2011, and though we believe Apple's iPhone still has a better game selection, Android has grown considerably in the time since. In the pages ahead, we've compiled some of our favorite games that are currently on the market, as of fall 2016. Some are free and others cost a few bucks, but all of them provide an entertaining experience on the go. And given there are hundreds of thousands of Android games spanning a bevy of different genres — role-playing, platforming, sports, etc. — we've broken them down into distinct sections for your perusal. Now, if only everything in life was as simple as choosing a game for your evening commute…

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
Hearthstone, Blizzard's collectible card game, brings most of the fun of card games to mobile devices. Players can collect cards, assemble decks, and duel other players online, and every action is performed through simple touch gestures. The game is also free-to-play, and players can acquire new packs of cards by completing quests or buying them from the in-game store.

Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go, the spiritual successor to Ingress, uses the camera on a player's smartphone to create a Pokémon-themed alternate reality experience, one where players see various Pokémon appear in the world through the camera lens. Players can capture these Pokémon and use them to take over gyms, which are found at various landmarks throughout the world.
Download now from:
Super Hexagon
Super Hexagon has absurdly simple controls — players simply touch the screen to rotate left or right — but it's far from easy. Players rotate a small triangle around the central hexagon as walls come closing in, and must maneuver the triangle between them to keep going. The game is aggressive and addictive, and the soundtrack is great as well.

You Must Build a Boat
You Must Build a Boat takes the match-three gameplay common to puzzle titles and injects it with various RPG mechanics. Players run through dungeons, dispatching enemies and traps by matching the appropriate tiles to deal damage, pick locks, and carry out a host of other actions. In between dungeons, players can upgrade their character and home base, tricking it out with no crew members and features.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I'm not burnout on gaming just sick and tired of the BS devs want to constantly push out the door! I mean how many times i gotta hear a dev say "We looked at WoW, and took what made it a huge success".. really!? I can tell you what made WoW what it is now it was some games called Warcraft 1,2,&3 those games built a base among fans with commited devs and not some Publishing suits. Heck I never played any of the Warcraft games until I played vanilla wow.
Games these days need to focus on getting the attention of players the first few levels and keep the fun factor up throughout the entire game. Initial box sales mean nothing if people are burning through content in less than a month!
Another thing i think has hurt MMO's is too much PvP that is centered around getting gear instead of around the fun factor! Why not have "Arena PvP" and "True War pvP". We all pretty much know what "Arena" pvp is , but what about war pvp meaning not some phasing or instanced crap, I mean if you fail to defend your country, base, or whatever you will lose it!
I mean i could get into what I think Devs should be looking at but there is far too much to write about!
Below is where we can disscuss and come up with new ideas for Sandparks!
Have been an interesting read, I'm glad that so many are on the same boat.
We can only hope for future games will give us that spark back we used to have.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
From a pvp'ers perspective.
1. I dont have the time to be hardcore anymore. To do that you have to play ALOT. When i cant play that much i always end up at an disadvantage in FFA pvp environments. I loved it back when i was on the top of my game, but i love my kids and wife more
2. Im a grown man. This makes it difficult for me to settle in a good guild, i havent found one in years. Not with the mature cool kind of people im looking for. Im a relic I used to run or be officer in good guilds, but just dont have the time anymore.
3. No good pvp games anymore. I loved AC1 (Darktide), Shadowbane, DAoC. Games are good looking and dumbed down to the extreme.
(Right now ill try Darkfall. (eu) solo and hopefully ill find a good guild.)
For me i just cant get the same satisfaction out of gaming anymore because i dont like doing things halfway. And i just dont have time to be at my best anymore. The same goes for PvE games. I like chasing carrots in games, be on top etc. Now i just dont have time for it anymore, and that in it self makes MMORPG's less fun for me personally.
Answer = I dont have enough time play and gaming industry has basicly dumbed down all games. Where is the challenge?
Sounds burned out to me.
Did you end up playing only online games like i did? After i got sick and tired of the MMORPG system like WoW and Rift and such i thought i was getting sick of games altogether because i couldnt find anything i wanted to stick with even tho i found a lot that i enjoyed. But then i got back into single player games and im having a blast with them.
Its changed things for me, i still like playing online but it actually gives me a big break from playing with a bunch of a**holes when i get into a single player one.
To me it sounds like you either need a break from games, or simply need to play some different kind of games.
Recently i've been enjoying the crap out of Kingdoms of Amalur.
Jeremiah 8:21 I weep for the hurt of my people; I stand amazed, silent, dumb with grief.
Join me on Raptr Steam Facebook Twitter Gameverse
The games that come out this days are all the same, nothing new just the same old playstyle.
I still play the first mmo I started playing, I tried most of the other ones but they really are just the same game so no point changing.
I also belive that the people that make there voices heard the most when it comes to playerbase have no clue what they want and the DEV's listen waaaay to much to the community of players.
So causs of that the games just end up all the same for people that dont know what they want and it all tastes bland and boring.

I consider that extraordinarily unlikely. As a result, this thread can't go anywhere good. There are perhaps a dozen individuals that I would consider hopeless cases; they clearly are not going to find a new game that pleases them, ever. They just have impossible expectations, and they don't play well with others. Another, oh, fifty or so habitual drama queens; they're not really miserable, they just like to fight amongst themselves. Speak in absolutes, cry doom, complain incessantly, etc. And a couple of hundred flat-out trolls. Just want to get you (or me, or you over there) and push your buttons. Most of them probably do not consider themselves trolls...or not often. But read the carnage every weekend morning... There, I've been candid. The generally results in a few days off. I'll just enjoy playing, instead. Candid examination of our mmorpg.com local denizens, of course, can/will be bifurcated into "blame the customers".
Where do you class yourself in these groups of people or types of mmorpg.com local denizens as you call them?
The problem too often on these forums is that people are over confident in their analysis of everyone else. It's most probable that people could achieve much more if they focused their attention on describing their own opinions or better yet improving themselves rather than looking down their noses and labeling everyone else. There is a huge spectrum of beliefs and unimaginable variety of peoples and quite frankly belonging to one or a few of the groups that is quoted above is preferable to belong to the group I mention. Trust me I am a part of it.
+1. Well said sir, as you noted, some folks fail to see themselves in the mirror. Me, I know what I like and largely it no longer exists, EVE not withstanding. But there's always hope on the horizon with every new title that one day someone will get it right again.

I think it is all the game developers fault. I play computer games since the late 80ies, I am 34 years old and played all named RPGs since Eye of the beholder, including all MMO variants (UO,EQ and so on ).
The Problem is the gamedevelopment. Everyone is crying out " we need new ideas bla bla" . No we Dont! If there was a new remake of the original EQ1 with good programming and grafics the magic would return. If there was a new well thought out Shadowbane, the magic would return. UO with all its features in new shiny clothes, the magic would return.
The developers these days just care about F2P models, XP boosts and casual players. Why??? Leave this field to Zynga and please take EA with you!
We all get jaded and we get jaded by our main hobbies more than anything else. But as we have changed MMO's have changed too. If they now had stronger stories and social interaction, became more world like and allowed amazing faction warfare, we would be far less jaded.
But they have become streamlind easyMMO's. Which cannot hold anyones attention for more than a few months. So it is hardly surprising we find them so shallow.

Oh, no doubt among the habitual trolls. Enough people that've taken a personal dislike to me have told me so.
But that's more from being a 30-year forum vet than a gaming vet :P
The question asked, as asked, is impossible to answer without "looking down your nose at everyone else"--frankly appraising their behavior from an outside POV--you can't shake someone out of their delusions without it. As long as they maintain those delusions, they'll continue to believe the tear-the-world-down game they're playing is a healthy one...for them, or for the industry.
Torgim, remake the thread, let's talk about negativity, cynicism, and anonymity instead. Might be more approachable topics.

We probably have "grown up", but I don't think that means we grew out of gaming. What I find is that the games marketed at your average MMO gamer (almost all of them) don't appeal to me because I want a deeper, more complex experience. It's likely that a lot of gamers who have been into MMO's for a long time really expect more now. Imo, this is exactly right. Honestly we should have more in these games. When you look at how much they have evolved, I mean really look at the programming and technology, there's doesn't seem to be much to point to. Your average MMO appears to have no better AI, for example, than the aliens in the original Unreal FPS game. In fact, I don't think they have much AI at all. They just seem to have some mechanical reactions to getting attacked, which includes a list of attacks and a roll of the dice to see which one will get thrown. That's just weak. The irony is that mmorpgs should replace AI with other players, because AI is never going to be as complex to interact with (not until some sort of quantum computing pisses all over the Turing test). Yet so many mmorpgs limit player-player interaction! It's crazy. While game worlds obviously look better, most of them don't really have much for dynamic content that make the world feel alive. What is available feels very mechnical and contrived after a short time playing. The atmospheric / weather systems in these games feels weak, if they bother to put it in at all these days. Look at SWTOR abandoning even the day and night cycle, let alone dynamic weather. The graphics have been market driven to look better but all that rendering just limits the dynamic systems to interact with. Eg dwarf fortress, minecraft.
I'd back up the above by saying iOS gaming is a sort of golden age for games that were doing the rounds back in the day. Quick, cheap and experimental reduxes.
Be interesting to see how some of the quasi-mmo sandboxes end up doing eg Star Citizen, Elite:dangerous, 0x10^c and so on.
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.
War stories all of us old timers have them. Some good some bad. My suggestion. Go check out VANGUARD especially now is a good time.
There is no way to sugar-coat this, so let's just put it bluntly and clear. Games became mainstream. At our present day most games are commercially exploited products hiding behind a thin layer of (sugar)eye-candy. Yes, there are exceptions, there are always exceptions (or worse, statistics).
Basically, it went from competent developers to mass production, man.
It is completely like the music industry. From competent artists to mass production. Oh hey, welcome to capitalism. Enjoy your stay.

For me i like gaming this is part of my life since pong 1982 at the girl next door who had a big brother that had that very first "mobile" playing station. I wasen't into mud, I played games on 64, and Amiga, my very first MMO was Meridian59 that game as a demo, yeah funny it wasen't called freetrial back then. I played the demo didn't like much, so I continued playing C&C, Starcontrol 2, D&D games and alike and bla bla. I loved Baldurs gate 1 and 2, I loved Icewind dale 1, I loved Ultima series from 1 to Online. I tried SWG at launch it was a mess but got better at the end, I fell in love with EQ, but got pissed more times than I want to say I really love gaming well I thought I did, let me explain, I'm a gamer like all of you, we all like games, I can read about a game dream about it how much fun it will be but the thing is is when I get the game It's not always like it used to the feeling is gone Sure the game is good and fun and every bells and wissles are there just like the old days but I lost the feeling. I can still feel the upcomming games with joy but not as much playing them, sure I'm having fun, but the fun I had when I was younger., that feeling is gone. SO am I'm burned out or am I a relic of old gaming?
Im the same. Started gaming back in 78 with the Telestar Ranger system. Rolled through all the console generations starting with Atari 2600. Did some Vic20 and C64 but never really got (heavy) into PC gaming until recently.
Long story short we grew up. Half of us are starting to hit our 40s. Some of us have families, involved work schedules or just plain interesting lives. The thing I loved about games in the past was they left alot to the imagination. They were built to be semi dramatic and fun.
What I personally noticed is that gaming started to become hyper realistic. No longer was it just OK to save the world, or the princess or just to explore. Now you had to have serious seedy backstory, anti-hero mechanics and a level of maturity that prevents me to enjoy some AAA games with my kids. Its own popularity is to blame as well, for when we were playing games it was an undergroud niche pass time. It was seen as quirky and geeky. Now even my mom plays games. Expanding the market to the masses just oversaturated the market. All part of its evolution.
The future of gaming is now moving far enough away from what I enjoy that I dont follow it with the same enthusiasm. I'll always be interested and probably try the latest and greatest but I'm smart enough to know I wont stick with it. The silver lining for me is now I get to go back and enjoy some of the great titles of the past that I didnt get to play. With all this twitch / action combat MMO themes going on recently, it feels really good to sit back and thoroughly enjoy EverQuest (as I didnt get to play it at launch). It really is a unique game that caters to what I look for in an RPG. Looking back I find it odd (and saddened) that no one really took it further.
Even with the this talk (buzz word) of emergent gameplay and sandbox, I dont believe it will deliver the level of interaction I interpret to be fun. Am I mad at the developers or the market? What for? They are just catering to their audience. I just chalk up the memories of growing up during the golden age of gaming reiving the past with emulators (now I can play Super Nintenodo on my phone) and such.
Who knows, maybe one day a small niche developer might actually create a throw back RPG of my heyday of which I would thoroughly enjoy.
You start by saying "we grew up", and then you go on a long run of how games changed and how you still enjoy the old games on emulators, and how you remember the "golden years of gaming" (meaning that these aren't).
Have you considered re-evaluating your stance, that "we grew up"?
Several people here start by saying "we grew up", and then go on about how gaming has changed.
Come on! Can't you even remember the statement from the beginning of your post to when you begin countering it? Maybe senility is the real culprit here
You have to be more aware of what it is you have an opinion on. Do you still get that feeling you did back then now and then? If so, then maybe it isn't you, because some new games can still do it to you. Do you feel the same when you go back to the old games, and it is so long ago, that it is almost like starting again?
If both of these conditions are true, then it is the evolvement of games, not necessarily you, who changed fundamentally.
Of course we don't experience the world as we did when we were kids, but still, I believe a big part of the lost feeling is to blame on the games.

Comments: I wanted to test out a couple new blade patterns and decided on the T90 because I am a small forward at 5'8" and 155 pounds. The flex free zone was the selling point because I wanted a stick at about 80 flex. Decent puck feel. One of the few traditional shafts with 75 flex. A couple steps below the Bauer Supreme shafts but still quality. If you are a shorter player but prefer a Senior shaft, the flex free zone is kinda priceless.

Exposing the heretics within...
They thought they had crept in unawares...
I always find it interesting the people who come to the forum under pretense to discuss, and really merely wish to use this forum as a platform to diseminate their many and varied heresies.
Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Rom 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
One can always tell when someone is not here to discuss, but rather to diseminate, when they post and when dialogue is begun, when hard questions and refutations take place, they either clam up or play the victim. Their doctrine, claimed facts, etc cannot stand the test of Scripture or proving all... and I make no apology for testing what is said, proving what is said, questioning or challenging what is said to the Scriptures and testing and proving all facts. We are called to do that and use strong discernment which comes from using and knowing the Word of God.
Lately we have had some members join who were all HR/Messianic/ sacred name proponents. Three in particular promoted the made up name of yahuah etc. They very clearly rejected the truth of the Scriptures and specifically the NT and the Messianic prophecies and who Christ is, and rather denied those truths, from prophecies to believing the 'lying scribes' had added even most of the Sinai Covenant and law given through Moses to Israel.
2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2Ti 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
When challenged, while providing zero of requested documentation, other posts ensued that showed a pattern of belief not even close to being consistent with someone who knows or believes God.
Doing a little research awhile ago, led to the discovery that our member Mo MHuintir, to be none other than Bill Kinney, who has his own website and aberrant teachings. In comparing his writings there to what was being posted to the forum, it became clear he was here to merely attempt to disseminate his junk theology with an attempt to draw believers after himself, to which we have warnings in the Scriptures.
That was why my response to his posts in the "What's the True Name of God" , where he imbibes the lying scribes junk, was addressed fully and completely--and to which he would not respond, but toddled away, while continuing to read the forum for some time.
One can review prior to the thread prior to this page, and go forward from there to see the issue unfold.... What's the True Name of God http://www.seekgod.ca/forum/showthread.p...73&page=10 then forward to post 111-116, 119-120
Bill aka MO never responded but merely walked away from the discussion. That's the trouble with heretics. They have no substance, but are on sinking sand and cannot stand what they propagate being brought forward and examined to the light of the Scriptures and testing the so called 'facts'.
Proving all things...
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Bill and his writings are found used and endorsed and promoted on the sacred name/hebrew roots Followers of Yah forum, from which sari83, also spent time. Bill has been a member there since June 8, 2009, and has posted 80 posts, and has his webiste in his bio...truthintheword---which certainly must not mean the Word of God to him.
Sari83 joined that forum : 23 Dec 2009 and had 28 posts.
Sari83 was reading their 'stuff' from April 2009 and then joined that forum formally on Dec 23, 2009, and posted not 10 posts, as she said when dismissing any real involvement in a prior query, but 28 posts. And she and Bill were active in the same time period.
In fact, Bill and Sarah know each from that forum, having dialogued to/with each other on that forum. Setting aside they have the same ips, [actually the same two ips consistently, which normally happens when coming from the same address, as we have seen in the case of family members who posted here, although from different computers] and which Sara merely dismissed as a non issue, the fact is, that Mo MHuintir aka Bill Kinney and sari83 have believed the same junk.
For example in the thread on Followers of Yah, Characteristics of a false prophet, started by sarah, sari83 posts "Characteristics of a false prophet

Good word Sari83,
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. Eph 5:11
We should knowse them,
and then expose them.

In fact, in their Peak Posters chart, both are listed and bkin sits at 78-or 80 depending what one reads, while sari83 has 28.
And despite old posts and threads from bkin, sara83 was reading them and posting to them; for example bkin posted something in July 2009 which Sari83 answered that dead thread, January 2010. And yes, the documentation is there.
We see such gnostic spew from Bill's website as,
Quote:"Yahuahshua said, " Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all. And after they have reigned, they will rest." Gospel of Thomas, saying #2, and that's aside from the spew he was attempting to diseminate on this forum.
And lest we forget Ne'aryah, aka timothydix...also spewing the same sacred name junk, the same yahuah, and working the same threads...and there a few others I suspect have similar agendas...
So, we have people using the same made up sacred name, yahuah, posting and dialoguing on that same sacred name/hr forum, who have the same ip address-which isn't totally conclusive--, and yet it is presented they don't know each other. And both joined this forum and posted to almost identical threads....People are known by the company they keep and endorse.
Now Bill Kinney aka Mo MHuintir has taken it upon himself [along with, apparently, his associates from here], instead of answering the posts and questions put to him, to start a discussion forum, using the name of SeekGod except with a .us extension instead of SeekGod.ca .... I won't be putting in the actual full addy as I choose not to promote it.
Apparently unable to make it on his own, Bill Kinney has to now use my forum and website name with that extension, because of his inability to make it on his own merits. Not a surprise really.
IN that forum, Bill Kinney has chosen to make false statements concerning this forum in his Topic: Introductions section, although I am sure there will be other attempts to slam me and this forum:
Quote:Hi everyone!
Aside from the absolute absurdity of the claims...allow me to address them. From one Forum owner to another, Bill Kinney aka Mo MHuintir:
It's pretty hard to edit posts when no one is posting, Bill, isn't it? Censoring isn't the issue--abiding the forum rules agreed to upon joining shows respect for others--which apparently is sadly lacking for some.
Have you or your posts been censored or edited Bill? ever?
The answer would be NO, unless you posted links or started a thread which newbies can't do. Are you still a member? still able to post? despite the refusal to answer responses to your posts? The answer would be a YES.
Further, the pursuit of Scriptural Truth is what is presented, not somone's ideas about what something might or should be instead of what is actually in the Scriptures--which we believe as True. You do not believe them to be true. So, you make up your own beliefs.
The Scriptures are opened and discussed alongside many issues relevant to believers. Open discussion or debate is clearly welcomed and it's just too bad Bill/Mo et al that you don't have the gumption to actually answer the refutation of Scripture and facts given to your heretical posts and writings.
Instead, as is common, when one such as yourself cannot answer the documentation or answer direct questions, they slink away. And pretend it was all 'my doing'. Playing the victim when there was nothing to complain about except your own ineptness and inability at presenting any truth. You come unarmed to an apologetics forum then whine no one listens to you. You were listened to and clearly refuted. Your problem is you can't take no for an answer.
If you believe something, then at least have the gumption to answer those who disagree, and present facts and Scripture why. You can't defend your beliefs because you make them up and claim it is far better than what 'the corrupt' church and laity ever did. While there has been false doctrine even when the apostles were presenting the sound doctrine for all believers, the tools to discerning the truth from the error were also given. And that was, the Word of God and the indwelling Holy Spirit. And your vain imaginations called doctrine don't even get past square one.
2Ti 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
I have to laugh at the "cannon of the Church" statement. Which church would that be??? Since I am not a member of any church, nor have been for many years. Pointing people to Jesus Christ and the Word of God is not a denominational "thing". It is a Scriptural doctrine--which all who believe Jesus Christ should hold. But there's the rub--one has to actually believe the Word of God as being inspired by God and it actually being God's Word. Which of course we already know you don't believe...but you go ahead and be free of all constraints held by others who loved God and dispensed the Truth via the written record of those who believed God. Make your own doctrine and beliefs and draw people after yourself and make your own little denomination and keep continuing to deny God's Word as Truth, and who Jesus Christ is...everybody makes choices. Some to life and some to destruction.
The Holy Spirit is who gives understanding of the Scriptures. It's not based on one's own insights and 'revelation'.The Scriptures are opened and understood by those who belong to Christ and whereby the Holy Spirit is at work teaching as they consider and study God's Word. You have to actually know Christ, thereby have the Holy Spirit and you actually have to believe it is God's Word....which you, Bill and company do not believe. So any revelation you have isn't based on anything but your own vain reasonings and ideas.
2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1Jn 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
1Jn 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Primacy of the clergy over laity --
You didn't do your homework at all. Read my Introduction to my website, read my articles in my research section,...read the threads here, such as:
You think that this site and what I have always promoted is in opposition to the necessary relationship with Jesus Christ? You are more absurd then ever. Since that's an example of your abilities to 'reveal truth' and pretense that you know what you are talking about, you had better call it quits before you go any further at making yourself look bad. You should be totally embarrassed and ashamed.
You think I am a 'middle man' and have made money from doing this? The Scriptures are very clear about making false accusation about others. Of course one has to believe the Scriptures in order to apply them... And since you have openly dismissed the Scriptures it's no surprise you cannot apply them.
2Ti 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2Ti 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
You reject the truth of the Scriptures and want to find some nugget of truth in them in order to dispense your 'wisdom' aka imagination....The reality is you pursue the vanity of your mind, and pull something from the Scriptures now and again to make it appear you are being ' scriptural' while overturning and rejecting the True Scriptures. You search for a nugget of truth, and we already have the whole goldmine, in every chapter, and ever verse and every line....
Jud 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jud 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
2Jn 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
2Jn 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
2Jn 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
2Jn 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Jud 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Jud 1:18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
Jud 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
Jud 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Jud 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jud 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
Jud 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Jud 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
Jud 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
3John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

People do not always know when they are doing such things...
<< John 16 >>
King James Version
1These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 2They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
Lot's of deep brainwashing in the world. These things must come to pass. Is striving about the law necessary for unity?
<< Titus 3 >>
King James Version
1Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 2To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 3For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. 9But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
<< 1 Corinthians 3 >>
let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
13Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
King James Version
1And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 4For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 22Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 23And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Vic, I appreciate how much you put into this site.
It is something that I have noticed since I started posting here, that 2 or sometimes more, posters come on around the same time with the same sort of agenda, almost like a 2 or 3 pronged attack. Nevertheless I am still surprised when they turn out to be actually connected. Did they decide together to post on the site, as a planned, co-ordinated effort. I guess we will never know.

Hi Deborah,
I haven't had a chance to welcome you yet - so welcome!
I admit to being curious about your post. In presenting these verses in the context of your question:
Lot's of deep brainwashing in the world. These things must come to pass. Is striving about the law necessary for unity? and your statement:
"People do not always know when they are doing such things..."
I confess to being confused about what you mean Could you clarify please,as your position does not seem clear? Thanks.

Quote:Forums like Seekgod.ca have a specific agenda, we don't.Mr Kinney,as far as I can see and having being a member of the forum since its inception,the only agenda this forum has is to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to discuss the word of God.
Which church are you referring to and which cannon? Most of the regular posters,if not all, don't attend any "church". As to primacy of the clergy over the laity LOL..wouldn't that be relevant to churches that have clergy such as Catholics,Anglicans etc?
Quote:To them, there is no personal revelation of God's word, outside of what the Church has instructed you to believeHere too I wonder which church is meant.It seems that the forum tends to go by what Scripture teaches, and compares aberrant doctrines to what the word of God has to say.Many times I have heard Vic using the phrase that Scripture interprets Scripture.
It's sad that people have to go and use the name of the site and forum in order to draw people.This surely says something about the intentions and sneakiness of those involved.If these people had good intentions and were just disagreeing about doctrine in an amicable way what need would they have of sneaking off and doing a forum with an almost identical address?
Are we not supposed to be believers working for a common cause..ie preaching Christ and His Kingdom?
Thanks Mary. I think many times a few from a group decide to come on, to try and 'teach' us. The emails I have had over the years from HR for example, some feel sorry for me, view me as where 'they were' so many years ago, think I am just not understanding things and so they need to try and teach me...and then on the other hand are the ones who attack, because we stand for everything they have rejected and thrown aside. I guess it comes as it comes.
Deborah, I too am a little puzzled by your comments. I would agree people do not always know why they believe what they do or why they fight the truth of the Scriptures etc. Some are under God given strong delusion, some under another spirit and follow another gospel and another Jesus. Some have always been spoonfed what to believe and cannot go to the Scriptures and understand them --they have been told what they mean and it's never been the Holy Spirit giving true understanding. But I do think they know they are on this site, and they know what they post and what they reject. THey may not understand why, but they do know they are believing something and holding onto those beliefs.
Quote:Lot's of deep brainwashing in the world. These things must come to pass. Is striving about the law necessary for unity?
Yes, there are going to be all manner of deceivers and deceptions, etc. And we are warned about such.
"Is striving about the law necessary for unity?" First of all, we are already unified in the Body of Christ----those who actually do believe and belong to Jesus Christ. The issues at stake are first and foremost making sure the person bringing in any doctrine, is of Christ--hence the need to try the spirits. That proof is found in their fruit, which can slowly be revealed or very quickly is revealed. Because it starts with, do they believe the Word of God, do they live it, do they desire to follow Christ--or are they clearly presenting things contrary to the Word and Christ; do they deny the Word as being true, etc....then we can go into do they believe the New Covenant and the Gospel ...not all necessarily in this order. But there are certain things that are markers for someone who belongs to Christ versus someone who is denying Him or in the process of denying Scriptural truths which happens with those in HR for example. The truth of the NT is peeled away until it is fully rejected which leads to rejection of Jesus Christ.
Strivings about the law...that happens when people reject the New Covenant which is Christ and want people to be bound to living to the Sinai covenent. Earnestly contending for the faith means knowing these issues and what it means, and it means being able to stand in defense of the truth of Christ and the Gospel. We need to know the Word so we can stand and know what we believe and why.

ON the sneakiness issue, it brought to mind these Scriptures:
1Pe 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1Pe 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
1Pe 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1Pe 2:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1Pe 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1Pe 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
1Pe 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
2Co 8:21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
Tit 2:7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
Tit 2:8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
1Th 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
Rom 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Rom 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
3John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

I am fairly certain everyone reading this knows the Ten Commandments, so no need to list them all in this thread, but isn't stealing somebody's identity for the purpose of slamming them, false witness and theft? I used to do this constantly on forums to people I didn't like.
Here's some Scriptures, and each can consider whether they apply or not. For me I know fully God has all this under control. It's sad that people are in the spiritual condition to do such as has been done. That they deny Scriptural Truth is probably the saddest part of all this. When one looks at the many posts and considers the level of unbelief contained in them, it is indeed tragic, and they have made those choices. Just as the choice was made to do what has been done with the forum name:
Exo 23:1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
Exo 23:2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
Psa 15:1 <A Psalm of David.> LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
Psa 15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
Psa 15:3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
Psa 15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
Psa 15:5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
Pro 17:4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
Pro 10:16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
Pro 10:17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
Pro 10:18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
Pro 10:19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
Pro 10:20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
Pro 10:21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Pro 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Pro 19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
Pro 19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
Pro 14:25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
Pro 14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
Pro 14:5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

Pro 14:7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
Pro 14:8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
Zec 8:16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
Zec 8:17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.
Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Eph 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Eph 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
Eph 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
1Th 4:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
1Th 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
1Th 4:8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
1Pe 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
1Pe 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
1Pe 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1Pe 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
1Pe 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
1Pe 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

How do the HR, Kabbalists, Yahuahshuahuayahuahshuyahua people et al end up in this forum? Do they come from Google or hyperlinks on other sites? I typed "hebrew roots" with the quotation marks into Google and the To Embrace Hebrew Roots intro came up tenth, right above Michael Rood. I wanted to try the same thing using the "sacred" Yah names but they are spelled so many different ways it would get frustrating and patience is a quality I lack.

Hey my friend. Actually some of HR and Messianics are familiar with my site from over the years. Some have read my articles right from when I first started that original series -To Embrace Hebrew Roots from 1999. I am quite sure most of the leadership within the Hebrew roots groups have read at least some of my stuff---because of writing about them or their buddies. It's like anything else, it's by word of mouth too.
Yes links from other sites, people send out emails with a link, etc. But people also find it through searches. For example, I just tried searching, "peter's vision of the sheet" on Google. And that specific forum thread came up 4th out of 920,000 hits. Not too shabby.
I think people would find it topically like that, as also with the website, by that or one or two word searches. Your sacred name rendition gave me the giggles. And yes there are so many made up 'true' names one has to wonder why those adherents don't see the irony of it all.
I do believe that everyone who comes to the site, regardless their attitudes, heresies, error or spiritual condition, is here because God wants them here. Maybe so we learn something from them, or they from us, or maybe the interaction is for the many readers. I just know that God has sustained the website and forum without me worrying about where it sits in the scheme of things. It's His business and I just rest in Him that He knows what's needed about all of it.

As if he needed any more of an advantage over his opponents on the ATP Tour, Roger Federer has a new and improved racquet.
Since his switch from the discontinued Prostaff Original 85, Federer's racquet of choice has always been the flagship Wilson Tour 90. Now he's using the Wilson Six.One Tour BLX. This version of the 90 gets Wilson's new BLX treatment, which involves weaving Basalt fibers into the composition for improved vibration resistance. Wilson claims its BLX technology allows a smoother signal to reach the player after impact for cleaner feedback and the "perfect feel."
Is it fair to give Federer, AKA the Magician of Precision, even more feel? If you play on the ATP Tour, your answer is likely no.
However, for us mere mortals, we'll take all of the additional feel we can get. When the feel is added to a racquet as impressive as the Tour 90 series, more feel sounds pretty darn good to us.
While we can't dominate like Federer, we hit the courts with the Wilson Six.One Tour BLX to see if we could find some magic and precision of our own.
From the baseline, the Six.One Tour BLX provided excellent stability and plow-through. Our testers were pleased with the court penetration they were finding.
"When I strike the ball with this racquet I know instantly where the ball is going," said Granville who was finding his usual accuracy. "No guesswork here, if I was prepared and in position, I was loving this racquet. There was simply great plow-through without a moment of hesitation. I could feel the strings elongating, then launching the ball unlike any other racquet. Truly a performance stick for the ages, it felt very much like its predecessor, but with a better cosmetic."
Spencer left us all wondering if he was getting any plow-through from the racquet? He said, "Plow-through, plow-through and more plow-through. To no surprise, this stick had tremendous stability. Forehands were pretty easy to dial in from the baseline. Shots penetrated the court well, and put-aways were more frequent. It was such a solid, plush feel when striking the ball with a smooth swing. With a static weight of 12.7 ounces and a swingweight of 333, this racquet took a while to get used to on my backhand side. Once adjusted, though, I really enjoyed the outstanding stability when coming over the top of the ball. The sweetspot isn't the largest, however, when hitting it in the middle the solid feel was second to none. I found my slice was divine, as this stick sliced through the ball like a hot knife through butter. The Six.One Tour BLX also handled hard hit shots quite well. If there was one downfall for me, it would be the difficulty I had getting the racquet into position when having to whip it around on a reaction shot."
Chris said, "Like its predecessors, this racquet offers excellent plow-through. I was able to generate a lot of pace and penetration with this racquet. Everything from slice to topspin was zinging. Interestingly, I used to struggle with this series from Wilson, but since switching to a two-handed backhand they seem much more manageable and easier to maneuver. Compared to the KFactor and nCode versions, the feel is more muted. I wouldn't say it was any more solid, just more dampened. On the feel front, I am more a fan of the KFactor version, as I felt more connected to the interaction between the ball and the strings."
Danny was very impressed. He said, "My first impressions of the Six.One Tour BLX were amazing. I didn't remember the KSix-One Tour 90 being as solid from the baseline as this one, so I had to make a revisit. I realized the difference between the old model and the new was minimal. I think the Basalt adds a slightly larger sweetspot and the feel is slightly more dampened. Overall, I thought my groundstrokes with the Six.One Tour BLX were amazing. I had great control, great plow-through and my backhand was rock solid. Due to the heavy weight and feel, having better racquet preparation helped. If I caught the ball a little late, it was at times somewhat jarring on my wrists when strung with a co-poly string."
Federer likes to attack the net more than most on a Tour dominated by baseliners. However, if he agrees with our playtesters on the performance of the Six.One Tour BLX, he needs to get to net even more. Needless to say, our team was very impressed at net.
Danny's love for the Six.One Tour BLX continued at net. He said, "I loved this racquet at net. It was very firm, crisp, solid and consistent, and it offered great feel. If I could maneuver the racquet as fast as I would have liked, I would say that this was the best racquet out there for me at net. I had my good and bad days with this one. Some days my reactions were good and other days they were noticeably slower. I found the maneuverability similar to the KFactor version. If you are a customer who is moving from the old version to the newer version, then you should have no problem."
Finding the racquet to do the work for him was Spencer, saying, "At net, the mass of the racquet helped not only put balls away, but did it with direction and precision. There's not a whole lot of movement needed to be effective with this stick. As long as the racquet was in position, it essentially did the work for me. I felt the racquet was more effective at net in singles than in doubles. In doubles, the lack of maneuverability hurt my reaction volley attempts during heated exchanges."
"During doubles play I volleyed with authority," said Chris, who was very impressed at net. "I was punching the ball through opponents and loving the solidness of this racquet. The mass came in handy in defensive situations, too. I was able to still hit solid volleys even when stretched wide or forced to pick the ball up around my feet. Touch and feel were impressive as well. The feel was firm and crisp, but not as sharp edged as the KSix-One 90. This version felt a little more muted, and I just prefer the feel with the KSix-One Tour 90."
Granville said, "This racquet seems custom built for the volley. It has to be among the most stable racquets at net for me EVER. I found both extreme touch to bleed off the speed of a ball and enough punch to crush a penetrating volley deep to the corner. I could tell I was playing with a smaller head as opposed to my regular 95 head size, as about one in every four shots of my video footage were slightly off-center. When everything came together it was tennis nirvana. Yes, this one is a scalpel."
The Six.One Tour BLX continued to impress our testers when it came to serving. The combination of some useful mass and ample bite from the stringbed had our testers serving well.
"This was a nice racquet to serve with," said Chris. "The mass helped me hit a heavy, fast serve. I was able to get enough bite from the stringbed for spin so I was able to move the ball around well. It was not as fast feeling as my Volkl Powerbridge 10 Mid through the air, but it felt like I was getting some additional mass behind the ball."
Granville found precision over power with the Six.One Tour BLX, saying, "Here it got interesting. It was heavy enough to give me some pause and I was consciously holding on to the racquet a little tighter so it didn't fly out of my hand. Once I had become accustomed to the weight, I was placing the serves into the corners, just as I do with my regular stick. At this point I am unable to get any more MPH out of my serve - with practice, maybe. I'll take the precision and feel of this racquet over any extra power anyway. It was comforting to hold a massive racquet in my hand - it felt like the weapon it is."
Spencer struggled slightly with the mass of the racquet on serve. He said, "I never seemed to get comfortable with the weight of this stick when serving. Usually with heavier racquets, I'll look for a smoother motion while letting the racquet do the work. I didn't serve terribly with it, but I didn't find that comfortable 'go to' groove I was looking for. Not to mention, I wasn't feeling I was hitting as heavy a serve as I did with the KSix-One Tour 90."
Danny continued to be very happy with his level of play. He offered, "I loved serving with the Six.One Tour BLX! My first serve consistency was awesome. My deuce wide, deuce tee and advantage tee serves were consistent and accurate. They didn't have the speed of my normal first serves, but I didn't mind. When serving, I really focused on my technique and toss and I let the racquet do the rest."
With ample weight, solid stability and lots of control, the Six.One Tour BLX proved to be the ultimate tool for returning serves.
"Shorter, more compact strokes, along with the heft of this racquet were the key for my returns," said Spencer. "It was a catch-22 with the racquet. It handled hard serves quite well, however, when I had to move the racquet a longer distance, the weight kept me from getting the racquet where it needed to be, causing a miss-hit or shank."
Chris found better results in defensive situations, saying, "The stability and solid feel impressed me on returns, and I was pleased with my results. I had success both driving the ball and blocking the ball back. I was very pleased with my ability to control the ball. The mass definitely helped me out when I was at full stretch as it helped the racquet stay stable and allowed some power to still be there."
"Swing away! That was my philosophy when returning serves," said Danny, who enjoyed stepping up to the plate with the Six.One Tour BLX. "Any deuce tee serve to my backhand was crushed! Overall, I thought the Six.One Tour BLX was great for returning. It was very consistent and solid when taking big cuts at the ball. I loved it!"
Granville exclaimed, "It is easy to return serves with more mass! Wow, I was taking huge swings and ripping shots. More mass equaled less effort, assuming the basics of technique were in place. Whether taking a defensive 'punch volley' style swing on the return or a full swing to take the offensive, this racquet was an effective multipurpose tool."
As with other heavy racquets -- take the KProStaff 88 as an example -- you have to be able to utilize the mass of the racquet for the best results. With good preparation and technique, our testers found excellent control, power and spin with this racquet. The stability from all areas of the court came to the forefront of performance, with all of our testers singing praise for the plow-through capabilities of the Six.One Tour BLX. If you've tried previous versions of the Tour 90 series, you'll be happy to know Wilson has closely followed the performance characteristics, making switching between models easy. Playing most similar to the previous KFactor version, the Six.One Tour BLX offers a slightly different feel, with everything else being very comparable. Put one at the top of your demo list and feel the difference for yourself.
Chris - "I liked the level of power and control I was finding. As with previous versions, this one was rock solid and offered plenty of plow-through. I absolutely loved playing doubles with this stick. My volleys had so much punch to them."
Spencer "I liked the stability and plow-through power."
Danny "I liked the racquet from the baseline the most. I don't know? I liked a lot of things about this racquet. I think the Basalt is a good addition to the frame and I liked the stable feel."
Granville "I like the updated cosmetic. As always, I like the mass and balance, and if I am on my game, the 90 head size feels like 'buttah'!"
Chris - "I didn't feel as connected to the ball as I did with the KSix-One Tour 90. Out of all the versions of this racquet, the KFactor is still my favorite."
Spencer "The weight of this racquet makes it tough to wield at times."
Danny "The only thing that I would have to knock is the maneuverability."
Granville "I could use just a point or two more head light balance to enhance maneuverability."

Things have changed for Wall Street and for Goldman in a way that may render its old bag of tricks less helpful.
old bag of bones making curries for men who do not ask "Who cooked this?"
We'll make a sieve of holes of you, you old bag of treachery!
And Nick began to rejoice that the old bag would never be found.
I then visited the garret, where my mother said I would find the old bag.
I think all the more of you, my son, and you shall have your old bag by five o'clock if I bust for it.
And don't you knock under to that old bag of bones too much.

c.1200, bagge, from Old Norse baggi or a similar Scandinavian source; not found in other Germanic languages, perhaps ultimately of Celtic origin. Disparaging slang for "woman" dates from 1924 (though various specialized senses of this are much older). Meaning "person's area of interest or expertise" is 1964, from Black English slang, from jazz sense of "category," probably via notion of putting something in a bag.
To be left holding the bag (and presumably nothing else), "cheated, swindled" is attested by 1793. Many figurative senses are from the notion of the game bag (late 15c.) into which the product of the hunt was placed; e.g. the verb meaning "to kill game" (1814) and its colloquial extension to "catch, seize, steal" (1818). To let the cat out of the bag "reveal the secret" is from 1760.
bag (bāg)
An anatomical sac or pouch, such as the udder of a cow.
A container of flexible material, such as paper, plastic, or leather, that is used for carrying or storing items.
noun phrase
An old woman, esp a repulsive, gossipy old shrew
[first form 1920s+, second 1940s+; both bag and bat earlier meant ''prostitute'']

(1.) A pocket of a cone-like shape in which Naaman bound two pieces of silver for Gehazi (2 Kings 5:23). The same Hebrew word occurs elsewhere only in Isa. 3:22, where it is rendered "crisping-pins," but denotes the reticules (or as R.V., "satchels") carried by Hebrew women. (2.) Another word (kees) so rendered means a bag for carrying weights (Deut. 25:13; Prov. 16:11; Micah 6:11). It also denotes a purse (Prov. 1:14) and a cup (23:31). (3.) Another word rendered "bag" in 1 Sam. 17:40 is rendered "sack" in Gen. 42:25; and in 1 Sam. 9:7; 21:5 "vessel," or wallet for carrying food. (4.) The word rendered in the Authorized Version "bags," in which the priests bound up the money contributed for the restoration of the temple (2 Kings 12:10), is also rendered "bundle" (Gen. 42:35; 1 Sam. 25:29). It denotes bags used by travellers for carrying money during a journey (Prov. 7:20; Hag. 1:6). (5.) The "bag" of Judas was a small box (John 12:6; 13:29).

Funny! I remember meeting Gary Dahl back in the 80's when he was attempting to launch a number of other gag gift items. Great guy. Because of his reputation with the pet rock he had an automatic job at any advertising firm in the country. They would say "We are going to have the guy who invented the pet rock work on your campaign. Clients loved it! He told me he didn't make a million bucks but he did make enough to open a bar and to buy a sail boat. He said he spent most of the gross revenue on getting enough rocks, just the right size, in time for Christmas that year. It was a huge hit that lasted from August until December.

Massachusetts state senators are maneuvering to become the next Senate president. That's fueled by speculation that Senate President Therese Murray, one of the most powerful politicians at the state, could be headed for the door.
Senators are already lining up votes to replace Murray, suggesting that her departure could be imminent. In any case, Murray has to step down as president by the end of March 2015, because of term limit rules.
Two senators are jockeying for the job: Senate Ways and Means Chairman Steven Brewer of Barre, who oversees the budget and tax bills, and Senate Majority Leader Stanley Rosenberg of Amherst, who was the main voice on casino gambling and redistricting.
The effort to lobby and line up votes has gone on outside of public view, in conversations inside offices. Publicly, many senators won't say who they're backing. Others will, like Marc Pacheco of Taunton:
"I'm a supporter of Stanley Rosenberg's," Pacheco said. "I've supported him a long time. He has been an outstanding leader."
Sen. Gale Candaras of Wilbraham was more tight-lipped about all this, and careful to praise the Senate president.
"It is my sincere hope that she serves until the last day, the last hour, the last minute of her term," Candaras said.
And Candaras only obliquely confirmed that the leadership race has come down to fellow Western Massachusetts senators Rosenberg and Brewer.
"I absolutely support having a Senate president from Western Massuchusetts and I would say there's almost a 100% probability that I will be able to serve with a great colleague and friend from Western Massachusetts," she said.
For her part, President Murray walked away when reporters asked her about her plans. Brewer would not comment and Rosenberg's aide said he's occupied with Senate business.

The Earth has great beauty. The animals known as humans have acquired such strength that they even think about controlling this planet for themselves. From the point of a planet's life, the life of a living thing lasts no more than an instant. But, in the end, it is only themselves that humans can think of.

woodcut and wood engraving
Introductionwoodcut and wood engraving, prints made from designs cut in relief on wood, in contrast to copper or steel engraving and etching (which are intaglio). The term woodcutting is loosely included within the wood-engraving process, from which, however, it can be distinguished. Woodcutting, the oldest method of printmaking, is accomplished using soft wood with a knife employed along the grain. Wood engraving, which developed in the 18th cent., is a technique using hard, end-grained wood worked with a graver or burin.
