It's Just Not Fair11/02/2005
An important message to our guests and partners in travel and tourism
Previously when you booked a flight with Virgin Blue, or saw us advertise our fares, we only quoted one price - no hidden taxes, no nasty surprises, just straight forward totals.
It was called 'all inclusive' pricing (meaning one price including the fare and all the taxes). Simple, upfront, very Virgin Blue. No calculators needed, to add taxes to the fare.
For the past two years all Australian domestic airlines advertised their fares this way.
We were complying with an undertaking entered into by all major domestic airlines and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
Virgin Blue was delighted – we were proud to have championed the cause that all inclusive air fares were easier for our customers and should become the industry standard.
Regrettably not all airlines feel the same.
Recently our competitors Qantas and Jetstar sought to do away with the ACCC undertaking, which is why regrettably, we are now all returning to the old concept - advertising the airfare only (and by the way taxes, charges, levies, fees and so on are additional).
We think it's a lamentable practice, but we are forced to do so, to remain competitive in the market.
Anyone who has ever been thrilled with their low fare only to find later that airport and other taxes add on quite a bit, will know exactly what we mean.
We might not be a big airline but we continue to see this as a big issue.
If you feel the same, we encourage you to do as we have – contact the ACCC, the Australian Consumers Association or your local federal parliamentarian and let them know your views.
Australians deserve an upfront, 'what you see is what you pay approach' – otherwise it's just not fair.

Tort as a Litigation Lottery: A Misconceived Metaphor
Timothy D. Lytton
Georgia State University College of Law
Robert L. Rabin
Stanford Law School
Peter H. Schuck
Yale University - Law School
December 22, 2010
Boston College Law Review, Vol. 52, p. 267, 2011
Stanford Public Law Working Paper No. 1690844
Yale Law & Economics Research Paper No. 416
Albany Law School Research Paper No. 34
For over forty years, tort reform proponents have disparaged the tort system as a lottery, arguing that it produces arbitrary outcomes. The tort system, on this account, is both unfair and unpredictable. These criticisms have often served as justification for reform proposals that would replace the tort system with some form of no-fault accident insurance in order to provide fairer and more reliable compensation to accident victims.
In this short essay, we make three claims intended to discredit the lottery metaphor as applied to the tort system. First, it obscures the tort system's shortcomings more than it clarifies them. We agree, of course, that tort outcomes produce horizontal inequities among accident victims with similar injuries, and that outcomes can also be unpredictable. Our initial point is that the comparison to random selection by lottery both misrepresents how the tort system decides cases and exaggerates its unpredictability.
Second, no-fault accident insurance plans fail to resolve the problem of arbitrariness, and this is true regardless of how carefully the plan is designed. Such schemes do eliminate the fault requirement, which reform proponents blame for creating unfair distinctions between accident victims with similar injuries and for making outcomes unpredictable. But a no-fault system's provision that claimants need only prove that their injuries are accident-related simply reproduces, by drawing different boundaries, the very problems of horizontal inequity and unpredictability that reform proponents observe and denounce in the tort system.
Third, arbitrariness is endemic in compensation systems. Of necessity, all compensation schemes set coverage limits that inevitably create horizontal inequities among claimants with similar injuries and reduce predictability in the many borderline cases. While addressing one kind of arbitrariness, no-fault alternatives cannot escape creating other kinds of arbitrariness and having to make pragmatic tradeoffs among them that cannot be justified by any uncontroversial principle. These structural necessities will entail some unpredictability and horizontal inequity.
We emphatically do not oppose no-fault alternatives to tort. The merits of one or another such scheme are not before us in this essay. Quite the contrary; our point is that reformers must engage in more careful analysis and comparison of the nature and sources of arbitrariness in all compensation systems before embracing one or another of these systems. Doing so will discourage the kind of oversimplification that the lottery metaphor encourages.

Look Out, 4G LTE -- 5G Trials Set for 2013
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: sbnation.com)
The UK will test 5G beginning next year
If you recently picked up a smartphone like the
Samsung Galaxy S3
iPhone 5
and reveled at the "lightning-fast" 4G LTE network, be prepared -- the next best thing is already on its way.
According to
Giga OM
, 5G network connectivity will begin testing in the United Kingdom next year. The testing will take place at the University of Surrey's Centre for Communication Systems Research (CCSR) in the UK.
The project is expected to cost around £35 million ($56 million USD), where about £11.6 million will come from the UK government and the other £24 million will be provided by a group of tech companies, including Samsung, Huawei, Fukitsu Laboratories Europe, Rohde-Schwarz, Telefonica Europe and AIRCOM International.
The CCSR has been working on 5G for a few years, but it is just now coming together to work with the other companies to make 5G a reality. According to Professor Rahim Tafazolli, head of CCSR,
the new network
will be spectrum-efficient and energy-efficient. It will also be faster, with cell speeds bumped up to a capacity of 10Gbps.
"Mobile data traffic is increasing exponentially year-on-year," said Tafazolli. "The amount of spectrum that we have now is not sufficient to carry all the traffic. We are soon going to run out of capacity, even with LTE, unless there is a huge amount of spectrum made available -- and if we are doubling traffic every year, then even twice the spectrum [that is currently available] is not sufficient.
"We have developed many technologies that are suitable for 5G using computer simulation and mathematical analysis and what this test bed allows us is to integrate all these technologies together and optimise them end-to-end and take them to standards afterwards. We are looking at the processors, protocols, algorithms and techniques...we won't try to optimise the hardware implementation -- that is something industry will do. We have developed the know-how."
According to
TechWeek Europe
, a 200Mbps 5G network trial will begin at CCSR in 2013. The 5G network won't likely be launched to the public for another 10-15 years.
"We're bringing all the major stakeholders together and we are going to decide on the advanced technologies and test them end-to-end. Once we are happy with the set of technologies that we have developed, in terms of performance, then we will push that particular technology towards standardization."

Answer to second question: Yes, you can mix sets. That's why there are expansions, right?
Answer to third question: No... you can't do that. A Pokemon who has a title or has an owner on its name is treated differently. You know, whatever is written on its "Evolves from". Like you can only evolve Blaine's Charmander into Blaine's Charmeleon, and Blaine's Charmeleon into Blaine's Charizard.

Those of you who have been with me for a good long while know that I'm well into my third year of this blogging janx. I've pretty much put myself out there, and let the bird detritus fly where it may. You also may have noticed that, of late, I've been a woefully bad bloggy correspondent.
Here are a few reasons why:
10. I never meant to go two weeks between posts. But I've discovered that my avocation (The Scholastic Scribe) and my vocation sometimes aren't comfortable companions. And I need to grade more than a few papers to pay the bills.
9. A former student warned me a couple of months ago that I was getting too close to my subject. I have since realized, however, that Principal Man and His Merry Band of Idiots are either a) too dense or b) too preoccupied to pay much attention to my voice in the wilderness.
8. Speaking of Principal Man, I've started to feel just a wee bit sorry for the guy. A local Internet forum has been doing quite a bit of its own bashing, criticizing not only his management of Our Humble High School, but his clothes, his weight, his tendency to happily ride a "tsunami of shame" from high school to high school, where he is mocked by both students and staff. Oh, and his salary, which clocks in at a healthy $249,000 per annum. Quite a lot for an incompetent doofus, correctamundo?
7. The necessity of blog maintenance and upkeep has begun to feel ginormous to me. Listen, I was the chica who used to post every day, and that insanity went on for two years. No, I don't know how I maintained that output, but I think all that slogging through the blogosphere is having a delayed effect on my psyche. I call it PTBD ~ Post Traumatic Blogging Disorder.
6. I'm 39 posts away from 1,000. With that milestone looming, your intrepid Scribe is feeling a tad bit intimidated.
5. Writer's block has become a common malady, of late. See #7 and #6 for further clarification.
4. I feel that I'm in danger of repeating myself. I've never had this problem. Seriously. Perhaps #7, #6 and #5 have something to do with this?
3. Twitter has recently begun to suck the oxygen out of my atmosphere. I've suddenly become obsessed with "microbursts."
2. As part of my recent Twitter fixation, I've also become preoccupied with making #nachos a "trending topic."
1. Please help me in my campaign. I hit 1,000 tweets sometime around 9 last night. One of them had to do with my #nacho obsession.

By Carl KemColumbiaUtah
Mr. Sansevero has hit the subject quite accurately. "He's not from around here" is something you'll find in nearly any small town. It's endemic for many small towns. Because of your locations you had to become self-serving. You had no choice. And that's a problem many small towns face now. Kinda. They try to be self-subsisting, but in this day and age that's nearly impossible. Times have changed, needs and demands have changed as well.
And that's a downfall for the small towns. I met a few elderly that hate the new people moving in. "Damn them! They want change and we don't! We don't want any change! We want it like it was when we were kids," is the common idea. Well, if that's what they want, fine. Let's rip the asphalt up, yank out the electric and phone lines, pull the water and sewer and gas lines out as well. If they want water, go to the corner to the community spigot. Ya gotta use the restroom? Outhouse, baby! It works!
Now you have it like it was when you were kids. No gas lines or electricity for your stoves. Wood or coal. Dirt roads that get gnarly with mud and yuck when it rains. Say, that's the part of your youth you strangely don't remember unless you're reminiscing on how hard you had it as kids...strange how that happens, isn't it?
But you had change. You didn't see it like you do now, because you were young and you were part of it. You worked with the changes far better then. Everyone benefitted from change.
When people talk of change, it's not the fear of change that's the issue but fear of the unknown. They don't know if it's gonna be good or bad, and it scares them. We've seen it in many places- businesses come and businesses go. Nothing lasts, and it hurts the community in the end and they fear that happening again.
The message I'm trying to share is if you want a better life you have to reach out and grab opportunity. Don't wait for it! And that means accepting change. Don't fear change- grab it, nurture it, control it. Do not become a victim of the change that is forced upon you. Instead, foster its growth, control it long before it controls you. Make it your tool instead of you becoming its slave.
Change is gonna happen. You can't stop it. All small towns need to grow. If they don't grow they begin to stagnate and after a while start dying off. Look at East Carbon City and Sunnyside. We're forced to change and had to merge and become one because for so long we couldn't accept change within the community. We didn't control it, and look at how it has now forced itself onto us. Some of you don't have that luxury. What is Emery or Ferron gonna do? What about Castle Dale and Orangeville? That power plant won't be there forever, you know. Don't wait until they start a permanent shutdown before you start looking for options.
Where were you 50 years ago? Where do you wanna be 50 years from now? Change is coming. If you don't start working on controlling it now, you're not gonna like it when it gets here.

Elizabeth Ohanneson of San Francisco, California along with her
nephew, Michael Hayes of Vernon, Connecticut are doing their part
to preserve a bit of history.
The daughter of Ignatz and Christine Reinbold of Strasburg, Ohanneson
was recently in town to assess the damage to the church she owns,
Blessed Trinity, which is located eight miles west of Strasburg.
Hayes and Ohanneson at the front of the
Blessed Trinity Church west of Strasburg. The two are trying
to raise money to restore the church, or it will have to be
destroyed. For those who donate money, a brick-paver will
be made with their name on it, and the brick-pavers will be
used as a walkway to the church.
Buying a church
After learning the Catholic church she attended as a child was going
to be destroyed, Ohanneson bought it in 1972. "I couldn't stand
the thought of them tearing down this beautiful church," she
said. "My family has received all of their sacraments here,
and many of my relatives are buried in the cemetery." Ohanneson
contacted the bishop and asked if she could buy it.
The church, which cost $6,000 to build in the early 1900's, was
sold to Ohanneson for $2,500. She estimates she has spent $7,000
for some minor repairs and three paint jobs. "But now it needs
some major repairs to the roof and walls," she said.
Church history
Built almost 80 years ago, the church has withstood the elements
of North Dakota. Since she has owned it, the church has been in
two tornadoes, and struck by lightning several times.
During one storm, lightning struck a cross on the bell tower, causing
the cross to fall through the roof, leaving a big hole. "And
the first tornado to come through tore off part of the chimney,
and it went through the roof and landed in the sacristy," explained
Ohanneson's father, who was seven years old when they began building
the church in 1914.
He recalls going to his first year of catechism classes the same
year the church rafters were being built. "I climbed up to
the top of the scaffolding," said Reinbold. "When the
priest came back from dinner and saw me up there, he just waved
me down," recalled Reinbold. "But did he ever give it
to me when I got back to class," he laughed.
Reinbold has served on the church board of directors, and his grandfather,
also named Ignatz Reinbold, was one of the founders of the Blessed
Trinity Church.
Famous artist
An obvious reason for restoring the church is the family history
and memories in it, but Ohanneson recently found out a famous German
painter is responsible for the 15 beautiful paintings that grace
the ceiling and walls of Blessed Trinity.
In 1892, Berthold Imhoff of Karlsruhe Germany, immigrated to the
United States. He traveled this country and Canada painting murals
in churches and other buildings.
Born in 1868, Imhoff began painting at the young age of seven.
He was placed in the best art schools in Karlsruhe, and later in
Halla and Dusseldorf. At the age of 16, Imhoff won a Berlin Art
Academy Award for his painting, "Glory of Emperor Frederick."
Offered $3,000 for the painting, Imhoff turned it down.
Imhoff never sold any of his paintings. He lived off the commissions
he earned from the murals he painted in churches, banks and private
homes. Most of the church commission money was usually donated back
to the church.
For his generosity and excellent work in churches in North America,
Pope Pius XI made Imhoff a Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the
Great in 1937. But Imhoff's generosity didn't stop at churches.
He also gave paintings to charities for raffle and donated several
works to the Red Cross.
Imhoff is said to have produced his paintings by copying pictures
from magazines or famous paintings, and has even painted a copy
of the "Mona Lisa." But one thing Imhoff did that was
uniquely his own was to start every painting with three coats of
paint, regardless if it was a chapel wall or a canvas for a detailed
charcoal drawing.
In his paintings, Imhoff's mastery is very evident. He is known
for the eyes in his portraits, which seem to follow the viewer.
A painting he did of the Last Supper in floor tiles appears to change
direction as one walks by. "The Fall of New Amsterdam 1664"
is one of Imhoff's works and features a cannon which seems to change
its target.
Imhoff died in 1939 at the age of 72. His collection is currently
on display at the Barr Colony Museum in Lloydminster. After learning
of the history behind the paintings in the Blessed Trinity Church,
Ohanneson said she is even more determined to preserve it.
Childhood memories
As a child growing up, Ohanneson remembers attending the church
that wasn't too far from the family farm. "But what I remember
most was the German priest, Monseigneur John Selder, who was a great
speaker," she said. "He spoke very loudly and would walk
back and forth during his sermons. He believed in giving you the
word on purgatory and hell," she laughed.
In 1948 Ohanneson entered the eighth grade at St. Benedict's Grade
School in Strasburg. She graduated from high school in 1953.
Ohanneson is currently president of Ohanneson Worldwide, an export
freight forwarding company in San Francisco that she started in
Church repairs
Looking at the church from the outside, with the tall grass and
thistles around it, one can easily see the work that needs to be
done. The roof is in dire need of shingles, and a couple of coats
of paint would surely help. But one is not prepared to walk inside
and find this wonderful church, that appears to only need some sweeping
and dusting.
The beautiful hardwood maple floors and doors are in excellent
shape. The pews could be set in any church today with as little
work as running a cloth across them.
The statues, other than needing some paint, are still incredible.
The Stations of the Cross are detailed and exquisite. And of course
Imhoff's paintings are amazing in themselves, appearing almost life-like.
One of the two holy water
fountains that grace the doorway of the Blessed Trinity Church
west of Strasburg.
There are some areas in the church where it is evident the ceiling
or wall needs repairs, but with some new shingles and work to fix
the leaks, the church could easily be used again. In fact, Ohanneson
married Vinay Kumar in Blessed Trinity just five years ago. "My
mother and sister, Polly, along with family friends, helped clean
the church for the wedding," explained Ohanneson. "It
was amazing how wonderful it looked." The wedding ribbons are
now faded but still hang from the church pews, just as they did
on Ohanneson and Kumar's wedding day in 1988.
While Ohanneson is in California, Reinbold tries to check on the
church occasionally. He recalled the time some visitors stopped
at the church, and after discovering the door was locked, they peeked
through the window. "They looked in and saw a bunch of raccoons
running around," said Reinbold.
Cost of repairs
Ohanneson and Hayes have checked into the cost of repairing
the church, and have been disappointed by the figures, with estimates
as high as $25,000. But Hayes said he will continue to seek other
A "Blessed Trinity Restoration Fund" was established
at the Strasburg State Bank approximately six years ago. "But
there's not that much in there, and it wouldn't come close to what
is needed to repair the church," said Ohanneson.
Though it will be difficult to get the funds, Ohanneson said she
is not giving up on the
church. "Blessed Trinity is a beautiful church, and it would
be a shame to see it destroyed," she said. "And hopefully
we'll come up with the money."
As a fund-raiser, Hayes is planning to have brick-pavers made with
the names of those who contribute a certain dollar amount. The brick-pavers
will be used as a walkway and steps into the church. Anyone interested
in helping with the restoration of Blessed Trinity can contact Ohanneson
at P.O. Box 2112, San Francisco, California 94126 or Hayes at P.O.
Box 26, Ellington, Connecticut 06029. Local residents, Ignatz and
Christine Reinbold, can also assist anyone wanting more information
on the project. Their address is P.O. Box 284, Strasburg, North
Dakota 58573, and their phone number is 701-336-7514.

Zahara Sling Back Pump 5 5
Don't let the five inch heel fool you! I had been looking at these shoes on the website for months, so I decided to go to the store and try them on. These shoes are so easy to walk in! At first I was intimidated by the heel hight (I'm 47 years old so what am I doing trying to wear 5 inch heels!). But once I put them on I discovered I could actually walk with confidence. And they are very comfortable. Usually after a few hours I have to come out of my heels. I can keep these on all day long. I have them in black and nude and can't wait for them to come out in red. Please Bebe make them in red! I normally wear a size 8 1/2. The 8 fits me perfectly. March 24, 2013
Luv dis shoe.. Comfortable..sexy..purchased 2..size 7..mus hav shoe.. February 7, 2013
Love these shoes! I agree with the other reviewer, my feet are also sensitive and these shoes are so comfortable and stylish! Hubby loved them too. Great purchase. January 12, 2013
Cute and comfortable I have some of the most sensitive feet where it causes me great difficulty finding high heels that don't bother my feet. These Zahara shoes are amazing. No rubbing, pinching or "break-in" period of torture and blisters. As soon as I bought these I was (thankfully) able to wear them all night without any pain or rubbing! They are also a decent heel height so I'm not stumbling around in too high of heels. I can walk with ease and comfort! Now I look forward to buying them in different colours. Thank you Bebe!! December 23, 2012
PERFECT FIT!!!! I was just trying these shoes on with my dress at the store for height and I realized the shoes looked great, the heel was not high and they were comfortable. I ended up buying the shoes and I'm glad that I did. I can wear them with my dresses, suits, and jeans if I like. Thanks Bebe for making a heel that I can finally wear all day or all night long.

If we are born again in Christ, it is a spiritual renewal and regeneration which renews our minds through the Holy Spirit. However; we still speak and operate in the flesh, which is why we still sin. Unclean words constantly stream from our lips, so that is why I wondered if God would allow His Holy, Righteous name pass through them. Look at what James says:
Jam 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Jam 3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed of mankind:
Jam 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Jam 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Jam 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not so to be.

Interesting. I am reminded however of a post on another thread about Peter's vision of the sheet I believe. Which brings to mind this:
Act 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
Is this in reference to who should have the opportunity to hear the gospel or because of the Almighty's divine foreknowledge of who accepts the messiah (Cornelius in this instance) and when that happens they are no longer considered unclean?
QUOTE: Are we still considered unclean if we believe in the Messiah? When will we become unclean?
Strefanash: I regard clean and unclean as being synonyms for righteousness or not. We are imputedly righteous the moment we are born again, but we become manifestly righteous (ie live like it, show the fruit of the Spirit) as a process of his grace called sanctification.
I do reject the notion of being a new creation at the moment of conversion because i reject the notion that the human spirit is manfestly, totally and really cleansed on conversion. Any cleansing there, more or less, is imputed. And the reason i reject this is because I no longer regard the human spirit as being a separate thing from the human soul. I in fact regard the words "soul" and "spirit" (human spirit not holy spirit, much confusion is removed if we aks which spirit we are talking about) as being essentially interchangeable, synonyms but each with connotations that speak of a different aspect (and not part or compponent) of the whole.
There are two verses that seem to contradict this but i am confident i can defend this view from scripture, and I also hold that it makes a huge difference in practical christian living, whic his why to me this was nefver mere intellectuasl games but a serious business of life and death

You obviously read of my journey to where I am now. I cannot lie. I have had many bad things spew forth from my mouth. And unfortunately they occasionally (more often than I would like) (sometimes daily) continue to even though I detest it so.

Thank God there is therefore now no condemnation in Christ Jesus! Recognizing our sin is critical, but it's important not to dwell on it as well. Truly, I am so thankful for God's abounding grace through Jesus Christ - for we are the righteousness of God in Christ.
The point I was making is that speaking God's Holy, Righteous True Name with our mouths, which are unclean, would not be something He would allow, in my opinion. If He will not allow us to see Him with our eyes [instant death], then why would He permit us to speak His Name? Does that make sense?

A rose called by any other name is still a rose. Call him God, Jesus, Saviour, King, Deliverer, Redeemer, High Priest, Yahoshua, etc. Any of these will do. Instead of God's name, we ought to rather think about God's character.
Acts 9:5
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
Revelation 1:8
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord,
which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

There are many assaults on the biblical name of God and Jesus. Therefore not just any old name can be used. Many are substituting made up names and claiming they are the true name and they also present a different god and a different Jesus. Many say they have the true "Hebrew" name when in fact they don't have a clue and don't speak Hebrew. But that doesn't stop them. And yes, we need to think about who God is and what we know of Him from the scriptures, not just what some would tell us He is about.
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 see this thread is quite old. Thank you to Sheep Wrecked for directing me here. I have been studying the name of our God for quite some time. I have some thoughts that have not been previously brought up.
His Name
Part I -Why We Need To Know
1. Psalm 91:14 KJV, "14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name." Malachi 3:16-18 KJV, "16 Then they that feared [ יהוה ]* spake often one to another: and [ יהוה ] hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared [ יהוה ], and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith [ יהוה ] of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not." Malachi 4:2 KJV, "2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall." I could quote a hundred more Scriptures that discuss the name of God. But I cannot quote a single Scripture in the King James Bible that gives God's full name. I cannot quote a single Scripture in the New International Version that gives God's name in any form.
*Note: I have not inserted the Hebrew punctuation marks in the Tetragrammaton, because I have found that depending upon the scholar or the school of thought those punctuation marks are not universal. Opinions, unfortunately, varying on the proper punctuation marks to be used.
2. Who is it that God will deliver? Who is it that God will set on high? According to Psalm 91:14 it is the one who has known his name. Who is it for which God wrote a book of remembrance? According to Malachi 3:16 it is the ones who often spoke to one another about God and that thought upon his name. Who is it that will belong to God; who is it that will be a jewel, a special treasure to God; who is it that God will spare? According to Malachi 3:16-17 it is the one who fears God and thinks upon his name. Who is it that will be able to discern between the righteous and the wicked; who is it that will be able to discern who serves God and who does not? According to Malachi 3:16-18 it is the one that thought upon his name. Who is it that will be healed; who is it that will be grown up and spring about as a calf, in God? According to Malachi 4:2 is it the one that fears the name of God.
3. So, if you want to be delivered; be set on high; be put in God's book of remembrance; belong to God; be a jewel of God's - a special treasure; be spared; discern between the righteous and the wicked; discern who serves God and who does not; be healed; be grown up - mature in יהוה; and spring about as calf; then you should know His name. If you do not care about any of these things, or believe that you already have all of them, then you may not care to read any further. If you love God, you will want to read further and you will want to know His name.
4. Why do not the Scriptures just say "he who knows Me is the one?" Why, instead, do the Scriptures constantly refer to "the one who knows His name." First, there is obviously a difference between knowing Him and knowing His name. Jeremiah 10:6 KJV, "Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O [ יהוה ]; thou art great, and thy name is great in might." Second, God considers it very important that one know His name. Besides, common sense tells us, that if you know someone, really know them, at a minimum you know that person's name. Besides, there are a lot of gods with a lot of different names floating around in various societies and cultures around the world and throughout history. How can you distinguish between the false gods and the One true God, unless you know His name? Simple answer, you can not.
5. Psalm 96:2 KJV, "Sing unto [ יהוה ], bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day." Psalm 96:8 KJV "Give unto [ יהוה ] the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts." Psalm 99:3 KJV "Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy." How can you bless His name if you do not know His name? How can you glorify His name if you do not know His name? How can you praise His name if you do not know His name? His name is holy. What is this holy name? Do you know?
6. God has told us very plainly what His name is and that He expects us to use it. Exodus 3:15 KJV, "And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, [ יהוה ] God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." It cannot get more explicit than this. God has given us His name and said that it is His name forever. Unfortunately, you cannot find this name in most translations of the Bible. It is not even in the King James Bible. Also, the Christian teachings I have heard repeatedly stop at Exodus 3:14 and never get to verse 15. Everyone walks out of these teachings and starts calling God the great "I AM". This is an erroneous teaching. God did not tell us to call Him "I AM". יהוה is not pronounced "I AM", in fact in Hebrew the spelling is even different. God tells us His name in Exodus 3:15, not Exodus 3:14. Besides, His name has already been used repeatedly in the Bible prior to Exodus 3:14.
This is the first six paragraphs of Part I (total of 14 paragraphs) of a teaching that I have put together. If it is not welcome here, then I will not continue. If anyone wants to read more, then let me know. Thank you. In Christ, Zeke25
I must admit. I am quite uncomfortable with this teaching being posted under Messianic Judaism/Hebrew Roots or Hebraic Roots. I am not presenting an HR teaching here. I am presenting a Christian teaching. No wonder I could not find it without Sheep Wreck's help. I would have never dreamed of looking for it in this forum.

It's not necessary or advisable to paste your whole teaching here. We are very familiar with every nuance of teachings regarding knowing the name of God. There is no version or translation that has the "true name of God". It is hidden from us and will not be revealed until the age to come.
To know His Name, is to know HIM - His character, reputation, authority. Jesus taught us to call Him Father. The NT calls Him Father. That is truth.
The Scriptures for this are found in the article:
ps: It is a Hebrew Roots teaching and has been promoted by them almost singlehandedly, which is why it is in this section.
You can back down on the extra large print, please - it really makes it hard to read and feels like yelling

They look like a fan fic. Is it a spin off that Kishimoto made up and decided to just throw in? If so does anyone know where I can find it.
Actually I think it's just made as an end credits background, there's no spinoff or anything. It probably does follow some common themes from highschool manga/anime like various clubs, beating random thugs, crushes, and the brash new guy who stirs up the otherwise dull classroom. Stuff like that.
My pants are on break right now.
Why do I like Naruto?
I like the character because while he may not be the strongest or the smartest or the best he chooses to rise above his darkness which has been substantial, and he is willing to put everything he has on the line for his friends because he'd rather never become hokage and have them with him than achieve his dreams with even one of them sacrificed.
yea what he said is correct there is no spinoff of which we know that Kishimoto has made

Lol I laugh if Naruto wakes up and its all a dream and his real life is in school!

Generations ago, a genetic experiment gone wrong—the Reduction—decimated humanity, giving rise to a Luddite nobility who outlawed most technology.
Elliot North has always known her place in this world. Four years ago Elliot refused to run away with her childhood sweetheart, the servant Kai, choosing duty to her family's estate over love. Since then the world has changed: a new class of Post-Reductionists is jumpstarting the wheel of progress, and Elliot's estate is foundering, forcing her to rent land to the mysterious Cloud Fleet, a group of shipbuilders that includes renowned explorer Captain Malakai Wentforth—an almost unrecognizable Kai. And while Elliot wonders if this could be their second chance, Kai seems determined to show Elliot exactly what she gave up when she let him go.
But Elliot soon discovers her old friend carries a secret—one that could change their society . . . or bring it to its knees. And again, she's faced with a choice: cling to what she's been raised to believe, or cast her lot with the only boy she's ever loved, even if she's lost him forever.
Inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion, For Darkness Shows the Stars is a breathtaking romance about opening your mind to the future and your heart to the one person you know can break it.
For Darkness Shows the Stars was a book that evoked strong emotions in me. While that's a good thing that it brought that out, it was also frustrating for me as I felt so much anger and frustration it bled into my real life and that wasn't so good. However, this book was definitely a great read!
It started out slow for me and I didn't have a strong urge to pick it up and read. Then all of a sudden I found I couldn't seem to put it down and I'm not sure when it occurred. Once it did I just wanted to devour it. However, it still wasn't a real fast paced book, but something held onto me and had me reading like a mad woman. Maybe it was because I was super anxious for the romance to happen.
This was inspired by Persuasion by Jane Austen and I definitely felt that with the romance. And it was frustrating! Not in a bad way, though it's not really my favorite thing, waiting forever and just wishing so hard that they would figure things out much sooner, but it was nice to really feel that urge and need for more. I wanted to scream and holler at them to TALK, figure it out, and just plan your future!
The world was really interesting. It took a few chapters to understand how it worked, but once I understood I thought it was pretty creative and it was easy for me to imagine something like that happening. Our technology back firing and creating the Reduced.
Overall this was a great read that most definitely had me thinking. As I saw how the world became this way, and how Elliot has to suffer through so much with a father as difficult and demanding as she has and with a romance that has torn her heart apart, I really fell for this story and only wished for the best for everyone. While it's not super fast paced, and the romance wasn't my favorite style, I still found myself really enjoying the book. So if it sounds like your thing I suggest you give it a try!

amfAR cinema raised like $11 million dollars in cash to go towards the AIDS crisis, which rocks. All the celebs made it happen by showing up. But it was the celebrity hotties that we love so much that are the real focus here. Kim Kardashian showed up in a hot yellow dress number. Kate Upton got her hair did and looked spectacular. Rose McGowan didn't look weird (remember the weird Marilyn Manson days?). I love me some Rose McGowan, glad she is back to looking edgy over some zombie from The Walking Dead. Like I was scared she was going to try to eat me a few years back. That's never comfortable.
The event is tied in with the Cannes International Film Fest and is always loaded with celebs, but this year it broke a record with $11 million dollars raised. It was such a heartwarming event that when the new pop band FUN played their mindlessly stuck in your head so much you normally want to kill yourself single, "We Are Young," it seemed warm and uplifting, instead of dire and brain penetrating. Jesse J. took the event by storm when she played "Domino" and "Pricetag," and she looked hot doing so (her pictures are in the gallery as well). The Curator for the event was Carine Roitfeld. There were designers Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, Roberto Cavalli, Chanel, Christian Dior Tailleur among the most prominent. But no one cares about them. It's all about supermodels, and amongst them, their leader, Kate Upton, who has some damn sexy pictures in this gallery. The most notable auction item was a chance to star in a Harvey Weinstein production, which went for like a cool million or more (I can't convert foreign denominations, actually I could, but I am just too lazy to, it's Memorial Day and I am lazy river today).

Ivory destruction sets the stage for next week's global summit in London, as heads of state from around the world will discuss ways to combat the illegal wildlife trade
Court hands down harshest sentence yet to ivory smuggler
On Tuesday, a Kenyan court ordered Tang Yong Jian, a convicted ivory smuggler from China, to pay a fine of Ksh 20 million, approximately US$233,000, or serve seven years in prison.
"The culture of ivory worship in Hong Kong is deep-rooted and centuries-old, which makes the decision to destroy any ivory…that much more extraordinary."
African Wildlife Foundation urges Hong Kong to destroy its stockpile and join other countries in taking a stand against illegal wildlife trafficking
The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) is celebrating two recent on-the-ground wins that, on a local level, complement the positive international momentum that appears to be gaining for Africa's wildlife.

Never, ever, step outside your own rules/boundaries….
I don't often blog negatively but we're away in Cornwall this week, staying in an idyllic house in a place called Polzeath. The family come away every year to the same house which is near a well known hotel called The St Moritz. Today I witnessed a great way to lose customers and wanted to share it with you.
So here's what happened. There is a party of 10 of us deciding whether to go for a swim over at the hotel. 4 of the girls are getting beauty treatments at the hotel tomorrow so a few of us pop over first and ask if the group can have a discount on the swimming today.
Officially the hotel offer people having treatments 50% discount on the swimming so we're going to see if they'd be kind enough to extend that to the rest of us. The guy on the reception tells us that everyone can have the discount and so, very happy, we pop back to the house and round up the group. Everyone bounces over to the hotel happy as larry and the girl on reception tells us she'll get the manager who we had originally spoken to.
The managing director appeared 5 minutes later and in no uncertain words tells us that everyone pays full price and only the people paying for treatments get it half price. He says this without any consideration or thought for what sits in front of him (10 new customers for a start). In fact he goes on to say, 'you can't expect me to give the benefit to everyone – I'm afraid the person you spoke to didn't have authority to say that, I'm the managing director and I say everyone not having treatments pays full price'
So lets dissect this in case you want to use this tactic to lose some of your customers.
- We wanted to use a facility that sits there and costs money whether people are in it or not.
- The whole time we were there we only saw about 10 other people (we were there for at least 2 hours).
- He took about £100 off us instead of £50. I very much doubt we'll be recommending the hotel or it's facilities now.
- We could have gone back there everyday this week for all he knew – at a fiver per person, per day that would have been some good business for him.
- He was unwilling to budge from the rules he'd laid down.
- In this social, sharing world, it was pretty easy for me to write this and share it to thousands of people
Now some of you might be saying – but what if others found out, would that cause him a problem? Maybe, and if that was really going to be an issue I think the way the situation was dealt with could have been better even if the outcome wasn't the one we'd all wanted. Communication is everything in business – your customers are your new marketing.
If you're wondering how I would have approached the situation – here's how: I would have told us that the first guy had made a small mistake but that on this occasion I was willing to stick by it. I might have made a little joke about not telling anyone and I'd have had 10 happy customers without a bad taste in their mouths and returning every year.
Now Your Thoughts
- What fantastic strategies have you found for losing customers?
- Do you have a different view on this? Was the guy right for sticking to his own rules?

No doubt something nasty awaits the warlords. Madara isn't a very nice guy so nothing terrible can be ruled out.
However I've warmed to the theory that they'll be killed and replaced with white zetsu clones which can imitate a person's chakra after touching them. They probably don't fight for fear of breaking a nail (from the look of em) so if sensor types couldn't tell the difference then they could effective decoys to be used to get intel from the kages on Naruto and KB's location. I wonder if he's planning to warp Sasuke there as soon as his eyes are ready.
