Yah'shua (Jesus)
I wonder if you are one of those people who is a perfectionist? If you are, I must congratulate you, because the quest for perfection is one of the commandments of Christ: "Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect" (Mt.5:48, NIV). Jesus commended a young, rich ruler for wanting to be perfect, and told him what he had to do to achieve that perfection (Mt.19:21).
I have heard these passages explained away by liberals who maintain that the quest for perfection is impossible. Certainly it is not a simple matter, as anybody who has tried knows. We are repeatedly confronted, it would seem, by the same obstacles or weaknesses time and time again. And there are misunderstandings as to what this perfection is. It is not, as some maintain, to be completely sin-free (save in a jurisdictional sense -- because Christ is sin-free, and we are [supposed to be] in Him), because scripture testifies that there is not one single person on the face of the earth who is sinless, and to maintain a contrary position is self-deception (1 Jn.1:8). Therefore every single living soul, including the most spiritual pastor and evangelist you may know, is sinful and possesses human weaknesses. Only Christ was free of these defects. And yet we are all called to perfection.
The apostle Paul informs us that weakness is a part of the divine plan for us. He says: "(The physical body) is sown in weakness, it is raised (in the resurrection) in power" (1 Cor.15:43, NIV). Weakness, is therefore, part of the heavenly ordinance for our ultimate perfection which is represented by the resurrection. Our weaknesses are purposeful. Again, Paul says: "If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness" (2 Cor.11:29, NIV). Boast of weakness?! Why would one wish to boast of weakness? And what possible advantage could weakness confer upon us? God answered that question directly to Paul: "My (God's) power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor.12:9, NIV). And so Paul could indeed say: "Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." (Ibid.).
Here we see two vitally important keys: (1) Human weakness is purposeful because is reveals God's power to us; and (b) Human weakness is purposeful because it reveals God's power to others -- other believers to strengthen them in their faith, and unbelievers to convince them that God lives and is able to do the same for them.
This doctrine or teaching stands in sharp contrast to what I once learned as a Mormon many years ago, which was that we were to become perfect so that we could become gods. But this is not the Bible teaching. Weakness is given to us to teach us dependency on God (as opposed to independence as gods) and thereby to deepen our faith, because Faith is the saving principle of the Gospel. Did not Christ teach that we were to come to Him as little children -- dependent and trusting (Mt.18:3), the very opposite attitude of independent, self-proclaimed godhood (embryonic or otherwise)? And is this not also one of the most vital keys in a successful marriage relationship? Indeed, do we not learn from this that submission is another of those key Gospel principles?
"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ" (Eph.5:21, NIV). How contrary this is to the egotism of false religion which would proclaim men as gods, for to whom shall a god be submitted? The concept of "god" means one who is all-powerful, without peer.
Christians might, indeed, be aptly called "the submitting ones" because that is their hall mark, whether to earthly governments and authorities (Rom.13:5; 1 Pet.2:13), whether wives to husbands (Eph.5:24; Col.3:18; 1 Cor.13:34; 1 Tim.2:11), or husbands to Christ, the Church to Christ (Eph.5:24), the saints to the Father (Heb.12:9, Jas.4:7), Christians to their pastors and other leaders (Heb.13:7), and in a general sense, even to those who are harsh (1 Pet.2:18). Can we do this? Yes, because Jesus set the perfect example (Heb.5:7). As a result of His submission, "angels, powers and authorities are in submission to Him" (1 Pet.3:22, NIV).
As God, Jesus was perfect from the beginning, but as man He had to become perfect, "learning obedience from what he suffered" (Heb.5:8), we ourselves becoming sanctified and perfected through our obedience to Him (1 Pet.1:2). To acquire such perfection through obedience is testimony that we have been walking in love -- true love, the love of Christ (2 Jn.1:6).
So what are we to do? "Aim for perfection...be of one mind, live in peace" (Cor.13.11, NIV).
Since there is no doubt that the quest for perfection is on God's agenda for us, and since it is clear that perfection is unattainable without weaknesses, and since He has set us an example by attaining perfection as a human, what is the programme for us mortals?
Here we must dig a little deeper into Scripture and I think we must first ask ourselves this question: how was perfection obtained before the New Covenant -- that is, how did God's people perfect themselves before the coming of Christ? The answer is clear -- they didn't...and couldn't:
"If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the law was given to the people) why was there still need for another priest to come -- one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?" (Heb.7.11, NIV)
There are many things we must note here. Firstly, we are talking about three priesthoods and laws, two of which are identical. Melchizedek, as you know, was High Priest in the days of Abraham (Gen.14:18). This was the Patriarchal Covenant and it was administered by the Order or Priesthood of Melchizedek, whose lack of recorded genealogy became an illustration of the everlastingness of the priesthood of Christ, also named after Melchizedek (Ps.110:4; Heb.5:6). Melchizedek was a human High Priest who lived in the City of Salem (meaning "peace", a prophetic designation given that peace is through the Lord Jesus Christ -- Acts 10:36) unlike his successor, Christ, who is God (Jn.1:1).
The second priesthood was the Levitical under the Mosaic system of rules and regulations. Because it was an incomplete system, being preparatory, it never brought perfection in anyone. Sins were covered temporarily by the blood of innocent animals so that not even jurisdictional (legalistic) perfection was possible. It took Christ, as the New Melchizedek (meaning "King of Righteousness") to ussher in the possibility of perfection for mankind.
And now, finally, another factor in this "equation of perfection", and possibly the most vital one. And, as ever, it is Paul who grasps its full meaning, when he writes:
"Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues (spoken languages), they will be stilled; where there is knowledge (intellectual rationalisation), it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears" (1 Cor.13:8-10, NIV).
"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me" (v.11).
Perfection, quite "simply", is to be defined in these three areas. We are to seek for, and acquire, perfect faith, perfect hope, and perfect love. And if we are to look to perfection in our lives, it is here that we must look.
At once we should understand that what the world calls "charismatic Christianity" cannot bring people to perfection. The charismatic gifts of prophecy, inspired dreams, tongue-speaking and the like belong to the realms of spiritual childhood. What, then, are we to say of those who don't even have these? They can only be one thing -- embryonic Christians, conceived (in terms of perfection) but not even born. And this is often the error of the non-charismatics -- they believe they can hop over the charismatic gifts and land straight into perfection. Perhaps some can (who can judge, finally, but God?) but by and large I would say that they have deluded themselves. For who can come to adulthood without first passing through childhood? You cannot. You have, I am sure, heard the "explanations" of non-charismatics, like "these gifts were for the apostolic era only to establish the church", etc., etc., "but are not for us". It is not so.
My reading of scripture tells me that you cannot hop from kindergarten to university. You must go through a complete process of learning. Perfection is also a process. Paul said: "Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially prophecy" (1 Cor.14:1, NIV). He does not say that we should turn our backs on the charismatic gifts but use them as we spiritually grow up into perfection, and to especially desire prophecy that our spiritual childhood may be completed.
So if you are being obedient to the commandment to be perfect, as our heavenly Father is perfect, then it follows that we must have love as the goal and that we must drive along the rail track of prophecy, language and knowledge until we have outgrown these and are fully dwelling in love. And how can we know if we have attained to perfect love? Just look in the mirror and truthfully ask yourself: "Have I attained to perfect love in my life?" I know I cannot.
It is important that we have our eye on the goal in our charismatic gift growth stage -- faith, hope and Christ-like agap� love. Without these the gifts are useless in the extreme. Without these we will fall into the trap of so many Christians who mistake disconnected babbling (which they call 'tongues') for language. Paul wants us to understand what we are saying, not add to the confusion of the already fallen languages around us, so much so that he warns the Corinthians (who have completely gone off the rail vis-�-vis tongues), saying: "...I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in other languages (which no-one understands)" (1 Cor.14:19, NIV, variant reading).
"Brothers", he continues, "stop thinking like children. In regard to evil, be infants, but in your thinking be adults" (v.20). In other words, it is time to grow up -- to be mature in the Gospel. There is no perfection without maturity. Yet is it not true that people who are afraid of, for example, the responsibilities of life, flee into childish thinking patterns and do not want to know about adulthood? I know of many so disposed....far too many.
Isn't it interesting how the Lord educates us and then, as it were, pulls the carpet from under our feet? Nowadays we invest a great deal of time, effort and money in education. We pump out children with education from ever earlier ages. And yet in my experience the vast majority are never taught to think. Worse, how many educational programs do you know that have faith, hope and love as the ultimate (and highest) goal? How many educational programs teach you that all you are learning has an ultimate goal that transcends the educational process itself? The goal today, it seems to me, is simply to be competitive and survive economically in the Darwinian sense. The goal is to be successful.
Fortunately for us (and especially for those who are not naturally-born thinkers) God has different goals. That is not to say we have the right to abandon clear thinking, understanding what we mean when we use our language (most people have little idea of the meaning of words), or to shun the gifts like prophecy -- rather, it is to put a higher value on those things which never pass away and which constitute the perfect state.
"We know in part, and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears" (1 Cor.13:10, NIV).
What about language and communication? God communicates today through the imperfect words of men and their corrupted languages but in the heavenlies there are other, more perfect forms of communication. The true baptism of fire (Mt.3:11; Lk.3:16; Ac.11:16) brings about such communication. Have you been baptised with fire and the Holy Spirit? Without it there can be no maturing, only retarded growth as a perpetual new-born.
I have spoken much about personal perfection today, but what of the "perfect family"? Does it exist? Has it ever existed?
As I read through the Bible I am struck by the fact of the almost complete absence of the perfect family. There seems to be trouble everywhere. Look at the family of Adam and Eve. Their firstborn, Cain, was a murderer (Gen.4:8). Yet after the fall we are led to understand that Adam and Eve lived godly lives. True, they paid a heavy price for their rebellion in Eden, and we are reminded that the sins of the forefathers can be inherited in the fallen Adamic nature for several generations. It seems as though Cain got a hefty dose of his parent's sins, choosing to yield to that nature they created.
Abraham had problems with his family. Sibling rivalry caused his trying to help God to fulfil His prophecy regarding a son. Isaac and Ishmael were at enmity from the beginning and have continued this hate relationship for thousands of years of warring descendants (Jews and Arabs). Disobedience has a heavy price tag not just on the disobedient but on their children and their children's children.
I could mention many, many biblical families but that will take me a long time to get through. Some of them are truly tragic, such as the family of David. The "friend of God" descended into the abyss of adultery and murder and paid not only a heavy price himself in terms of loss of relationship with God, but also the price of a divided family and a divided nation. His actions led to incest, murder and civil war. And this even after he had repented. There are consequences for sin that we never imagine could happen until after the tragic event reveals the abyss we have created for ourselves.
Perfection is not easy, but it is not impossible. It requires that we walk a narrow way, and one that few ever find because they aren't willing to discipline themselves to find it and walk along it (Mt.7:13). They are not willing to search with candle and broom all night for that lost spiritual coin (Lk.15:8-9). Perfection requires effort. But is it, you may ask, worth it?
I assume you will agree with me when I say that if God says something is worth it, that it is. Well, He says that it is. Indeed, he makes great promises. When we cross the veil from mortality into immortality a judgement takes place and we are judged according to what we have done in mortality (Rev.20:12b).
I am going to assume that everyone here today has their name written in the Book of Life. I sincerely hope so because if you name isn't there you are going to be "thrown into the lake of fire" (Rev.20:15). Do I sound threatening? These are God's words, not mine. I am merely conveying to you what the Creator has said. Dare you play with Him? I hope not. We don't get a second chance at getting it right and TODAY could be the day you cross that veil. You need to be prepared.
I pray that we are sober enough to realise that this is no game and that we need to urgently consider our spiritual options. We cannot afford to let petty grievances, laziness, or other carnal attitudes bind us down or anaesthetise us just when we need to escape the coming wrath. The time for postponing the day of redemption is over because the world stands at the edge of terrible judgements. God's grace in times of weakness and negligence does not extend forever. There is a closing of grace and a time of judgement.
The path to perfection means that we must begin to start overcoming those weaknesses which we have been ignoring, hoping, perhaps, that they will just "go away". They won't. And if they aren't dealt with, then there is a strong possibility that we will miss eternal life altogether, for the Lord has said:
"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God" (Rev.2:7, KJV). If you haven't overcome -- no tree of life. No tree of life, death.
"He that overcometh shall not be hurt at the second death" (Rev.2:11, KJV).
This ought to be enough for us but God is so particular about overcoming that He mentions it over half-a-dozen times in one book.
Do you enjoy being weak and ineffective? Though weakness has its purpose, as we have already seen, it is not necessary to be weak in everything. Indeed, as His disciples we are supposed to be empowered. Here's another promise:
"He that overcometh, and keepeth My works to the end, to him will I give power over the nations" (Rev.2:26, KJV).
And that's not all: "I will also give him the morning star" (v.28, NIV).
These are deep sayings -- wonderful promises. So what will you say? "Oh, they aren't for me. I'm not worthy enough." God put them in His Book for you. The mysteries He hides away for those who are able to receive them, but that which he gives out to all is for all. No, these promises are for you.
"He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment..." (Rev.3:5, KJV). Who are those clothed in white? The redeemed of the Lord! If you are not clothed in white, you aren't saved. And to be saved you must overcome. It is as plain as 2+2. Yet worldly Christians choose to ignore it. (Indeed, they usually avoid the Book of Revelation as much as they can).
Is that too radical for you? Are you unconvinced? Then read on: "And I will not blot out his name from the book of life [if he overcomes]..." (Ibid.).
The equation cannot be doubted. It is plain for all to see. No overcoming = no white robes = no name in the book of life = no salvation = pain and suffering in the second death = no tree of life. Do I need to add more?
Well, it says elsewhere in the same book that those who don't overcome won't live in the New Jerusalem (Rev.3:12), won't rule with Jesus in a position of authority (Rev.3:21) and won't become God's sons and daughters (Rev.21:7).
I imagine having taken this brief look at a few passages in the last book of the Bible that there will be many Christians who would rather that book wasn't there at all because it overturns most of the watered-down theology one hears these days. Perfection isn't an option, friends -- IT'S A COMMANDMENT. And like all of God's commandments, it is rooted in love, because God doesn't want you to miss out on any blessings.
Of course, we must all start on a simple level in the Gospel, so long as we don't remain there. A house's foundation is not the house itself. Would you wish to live on a foundation that had no house on it? Of course not! And yet millions of deluded Christians are doing just that. Paul warned:
"Therefore leaving the [elementary -- NIV] principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection from the dead, and of eternal judgement..." (Heb.6:1-2, KJV).
If you are not living a life of repentance and faith, if you haven't been baptised by water and haven't received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, have not had the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Spirit (Chrism/Confirmation), don't believe in the resurrection or eternal judgement (or not had them taught to you) then you are still an INFANT IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE. And whilst it is true that we are to come to Christ as little children -- in innocence, purity and harmlessness -- we are not supposed to remain as children but are supposed to "go on to perfection" or, as the NIV puts it, "go on to MATURITY" (Heb.6:1). To do that, we must overcome childish tendencies, accept responsibility for our faults and our very lives, and begin the overcoming life. For without overcoming there is no perfection and therefore no ultimate salvation. This is the biblical doctrine. It is the doctrine of Christ and the apostles even if it isn't the doctrine of the modern (and alot of the old) Christian churches. And it is uncompromisingly the doctrine of this New Covenant Church of God which has been called to preach ALL the Bible, and not just those parts which fallen men and women like.
It is, of course, quite impossible for me to go into the "meat" Gospel here because it is altogether too large a subject so what I am going to do is select one family and see how they worked out their salvation (Phil.2:12). This was a family of overcomers, those who were seeking for perfection and who, I fully believe, found it, in spite of their weaknesses and failings. It's about a New Testament family (the only one, in fact, in that portion of the Bible discussed as a whole) that was very close to Jesus -- the family of Lazarus.
It is no accident that this family figures prominently in the New Testament because it was a part of the extended family of Christ Himself. Three persons are specifically mentioned -- Lazarus, whose home Jesus frequently visited to rest. He had two sisters, Mary and Martha, who were frequently in the company of the Master and who played a vital r�le in the early Church of God. The two sisters were completely different in temperament -- one was a dreamer, a learner, "spiritual" and disconnected from the reality around her often -- that was Mary. The other was a practical, fussy, and energetic woman who resented her more dreamy, impractical sister. That was Martha. And between them it looks as though they sent their brother Lazarus to an early grave! I can just feel the tension in that household! Yes, there was alot of perfecting to do there! By the end of Jesus's ministry we see two quite different women -- and a dead man brought back to life. The dreamer has become down to earth, has washed the Master's feet with her hair (Jn.11:2), and is rushing to the empty tomb to be the first witness of the resurrection. The busy fuss-pot has become spiritual and was the first to come to spiritual enlightenment about the resurrection. In a way they had swapped r�les, though in fact each served as a mirror for the other's deficiencies. In short, they needed each other to come to perfection, with Lazarus (no doubt) and Jesus steering them along the correct path.
And from this we learn that families are perfecting agents if we let them fill that divinely assigned r�le. That is why New Covenant Christians believe not only in large families but in the extended family or United Order. The diversity of our personalities, with their strengths and weaknesses, are to be shared and overcome, respectively.
There is another reason why the family of Lazarus is important -- and it's because Lazarus was Jesus' brother-in-law. When He went to Bethany for rest He was, in fact, going home. He had virtually been driven out of His home in Nazareth by the intolerance and unbelief of those who had known Him as a youth, and whilst Capernaum was His base of ministry in the north, Bethany was His home in the south.
As our readers know, we New Covenant Christians believe Jesus was married in mortality, and we teach that He was married to Mary, though we are not dogmatic about this. However, this historical key does explain a lot of mystifying passages in the New Testament, and is particularly helpful in our quest to understand what coming to human perfection actually means. It is, as we have seen, not to become faultless or sinless (though this must be the unwritten goal) because none but Christ has achieved this -- or can achieve this -- in the flesh. Out ultimate perfection, becoming sinless, can only be achieved through Him, and then only in the next world when we are free of fallen flesh.
If Jesus was literally a part of the household of Lazarus, and if that house in Bethany was His literal home, then I think we can learn some important principles about the path to perfection. Let us review a selection of these principles.
Mary and Martha represent two natures which are in all of us to differing degrees (see NC&C 66). Mary had her priorities right -- she wanted spiritual wisdom and salvation, and sat submissively at Jesus's feet in order to learn. Martha was too engrossed in domestic chores and too complaining about Mary's apparent dereliction of duty to even have time to sit and learn of things spiritual herself. For that the Master rebuked her.
In the revelation called "The Two Birds" (NC&C 351) we learn more about the nature of restless Martha. It is well worth reading this discourse in which Mary and Martha have swapped r�les -- it is Martha sitting at the feet of Jesus this time.
Now Martha was not a bad woman. Far from it. She was always eager to serve and to do good (NC&C 351:21-22). Her problem was that she was so busy serving that she never spent enough time to listen and pray. I guess many of us have that fault. Jesus compared Martha and (indirectly) Mary to a couple of sparrows. One was sitting quietly on a high branch and the other hopping between branches on a lower branch (vv.23-25). The one on the lower branch, like Martha, was always full of anxiety, never at peace, always moving about. Jesus said that this bird "thinks, worries, desires, demands, accumulates, fights and competes; it is forever in anguish, tension, and hops from one branch to the other, always moving, never in repose" (vv.25-26).
Now the other bird "is so silent, as though he were not there. He has no needs to fulfil, for all is fulfilled and every need is met. He has attained and has nowhere to do. He sits in his joy and watches the bird on the lower branch" (vv.28-32).
Now this other bird was a picture of Mary as she was to become. In the beginning she was a dreamer, absorbed in her thoughts and meditations, but divorced from reality. What happened when Lazarus died? Who came out to meet the Master? Was it Mary? No, she was at home, probably distraught. It was self-composed (though manipulating) Martha who put on her shoes and came to meet Jesus. Mary had to learn how to become a Martha. She got her chance. Openly, in public, this spiritual (and probably proud) woman had to brave the criticism of the disciples and the Pharisees by entering like an ordinary servant girl and then debase herself by washing Jesus's feet with her tears. And her earlier reputation -- though she was reforming -- still clung to her because of the unforgiving nature of those who had known her previous life. Publicly, Jesus forgave her of her sins, because of her great love, which came only because she was willing to humble herself and become, in the eyes of the society of that day, as nothing.
No, Martha was no pampered, whether by her husband (depending on your belief) or not. She had to be brought down to reality and humbled before she acquired the love of Christ which is the goal of all those who are true disciples.
Lazarus is another story. He represents another principle of perfection, namely, death. To become perfect you must die to self, which is the seat of pride, man's greatest enemy. He represents male principle which has its own, though similar, problems to female principle. Jesus used Lazarus as an example of the power of love, just as the Father was to use His Only Begotten Son to do the same. Yes, when Lazarus died, He wept, in the shortest verse of scripture. He wept because He loved this man, imperfections and all. But he was also enraged at death, even as our heavenly Father is enraged by sin and death, so much that He had to pay a terrible price to overcome it, and in a way that would not overturn His own laws. Lazarus is a type not only of what we must go through in order to be saved, but of what Jesus had to go through in order to save us. Lazarus, as Jesus's brother-in-law, therefore occupies a unique symbolic position, being, as it were, a double-sided mirror revealing the love of God and the love of Christ. Not only that, but he reveals that this love is only manifest in FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. Christianity is not for solo believers. It is to be lived and experienced only as a community. It cannot be experienced any other way. Moreover, it must be experienced as a community of diverse personalities with personality strengths and defects like those possessed by Mary and Martha.
"You cannot be a Mary without becoming a Martha, or a Martha without being a Mary if you are seeking the fullness of the Firstborn" (NC&C 66:10). Nor, I would hasten to add, without Lazarus, who is a type here of Christ. In the New Covenant Church of God the two female Priesthood Orders, corresponding to the Eldresses and Deaconesses, are called the Orders of Miriyam (Mary is the Latin version) and Martha. The men have parallel orders called Enoch and Zadok which, like their female counterparts, reflect similar principles. We emphasise very much in this Church the principle of perfection, and how it is we must acquire the attributes of these two seemingly contrary spiritual natures, but which are, in fact, complimentary -- the spiritual (Mary) and the practical (Martha). Mary, who had all the qualities of an Eldress, had first to learn how to be a Deaconess and Martha, the practical Deaconess, had to have her vision lifted further and become more spiritual like an Eldress. In this New Covenant Church you must become a Deacon or Deaconess inwardly before you can become an Elder or Eldress, and that you remain like Jesus, the Great Deacon (Servant), a Deacon or Deaconess for life. The priesthood is not a ladder of progression where you leave the lower rungs of "mundane" practical things for "loftier" spiritual ones, but more like the image given in the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 47, of a man wading into a river, starting in shallow water (the Deacon) and making his way into deep water (the Elder), until he can go no further. Thereafter it is a matter of resurrection in Christ which is both infinitely deep as well as being in the shallow water also. For in truth no man or woman can be a Deacon or an Elder without Christ. Christ is the Priesthood, and without Him there is no Priesthood.
The Mary-Martha Revelation teaches this succinctly, saying: "I have called you to be kings and beggars [simultaneously], teachers and pupils, masters [Elders] and servants [Deacons], rulers and subjects, priests and laymen, the greatest and the least, that ye might know Me even as I am" (NC&C 66:15, my clarifications added) -- not two classes of "priests and laymen" or two classes of "kings and beggars" but ONE class, for we must be both. But to BE both, we must never forget the principle Jesus taught: "The least shall be the greatest, and the greatest, least" (Lk.9:48). To be a (spiritual) king you must first be a beggar, to be a priest you must first become a layman, to be an Elder you must first become a Deacon, and so on. And once you become a king, you are still a servant. As Jesus was a Deacon-King, so too are you -- and remember the order!
"Whatever ye do ye should do perfectly according to your several gifts and talents" (NC&C 180:3) remembering that nobody has "received all Light" (NC&C 217:47-49). "Cease continually building upon the elementary principles, but go on to perfection, eagerly embracing every covenant, until ye have overcome. And when ye have overcome, through the atonement of the Saviour, then ye have a fullness of rest, peace and joy" (NC&C 273:41-42).
Finally, let us consider the words of Jesus: "John saith unto Him: 'How...shall we attain unto perfection?' Jesus saith unto him: 'Perfection is within you, and imperfection is within you. He who loseth himself entereth into perfection; but he who is concerned about self remaineth in imperfection. Forget thyself, O son of man, and thou shalt become one. And in place of two, there shall be one, and it shall be as it was always supposed to be'" (NC&C 351:42-46).
May the Lord God of Israel, our heavenly Father, Yahweh-Elohim, bless and keep you as you seek to do what is right and follow the path to perfection, is my prayer, Yahshua haMashiach's (Jesus Christ's) Name. Amen.

ONE Browser is a good alternative to the better known browsers. If you've had enough of Chrome, Opera, or Firefox, and are looking for something a bit different, then this is certainly worth a try.
Loads of useful functions
Browsers on mobile phones often feel a tad lacking. They all offer the same base set of features, and only differ in their smaller detail. ONE Browser, on the other hand, is a little different. The streamlined search function (accessed from the address bar) insures your pages all load rapidly, while a "speed dial" screen allows you to create short cuts to all of your regularly visited pages.
This may not seem that revolutionary, but it's under the hood of this little browser that things get interesting. These unseen features include data compression, allowing it to save multiple pages without clogging up your phone's limited memory. On hand to speed up your browsing is the ability to disable images. ONE Browser also gives you the option to take snapshots or select areas by hand (or finger) to save, and download files from the web and HTML5 to ensure you will always be able to quickly find exactly what you need.
Simplicity is the key
Navigating ONE Browser is simple. The homescreen holds all of your bookmarked pages, while a collapsible bottom beam elegantly shows your active tabs – all of which can be displayed in either a landscape or portrait view.
In terms of its looks, ONE Browser doesn't stand out, with no spectacular animation or design elements. But that's okay because its minimal aesthetic serves to not distract from your browsing experience.
A good alternative?
ONE Browser is an interesting alternative to other mobile browsers for Android. It has many useful features, while offering simple navigation to suit all needs.

Bemidji High School baseball: Jacks move opener to St. Cloud
The Bemidji Lumberjacks baseball team, giving up hopes of getting the season started at home, has shifted gears and will head south Saturday to face Sauk Rapids and Sartell in a doubleheader.
The two games were to have been played at Bemidji State, with Moorhead also facing the same two opponents in the opposite order.
When BSU had a home twin bill slated Saturday, Bemidji shifted the high school games to the Arena and the Moorhead games to Sagedahl.
But when none of those three diamonds is playable, the move was made.
The Beavers have shifted their weekend games with Upper Iowa to Fayette. Yesterday's home twin bill with Southwest was moved to Marshall.
Bemidji and Sauk Rapids will square off at the St. Cloud Municipal Athletic Complex, either Faber Field or Putz Stadium, at 1 with the JV game at Sauk Rapids High.
The 4 p.m. contest will be played at Sartell's Champion Field with the JV game at the high school field.
The home opener will now be the Brainerd game which was postponed April 2 and will be played April 18 at BSU.
Bemidji will face four more road contests against Moorhead, Thief River, St. Cloud Tech and Red River before that date. The TRF game will be played at the Metrodome.

Sunday Herald editor explains why his paper favours Scottish independence
The editor of the Glasgow-based Sunday Herald, Richard Walker, has been explaining why his newspaper has declared itself in favour of Scottish independence. It is the only major Scottish title to have done so.
In an interview with The Saint, the St Andrews' university student publication, Walker talks of the positive reaction:
"It's been gratifying to see the response amongst our readers. It's been three weeks since we published the editorial and our sales figures are ahead of where they were last year."
But, lest anyone think his political initiative is about boosting circulation, he is quick to assert that the paper's stance was not a "cynical exercise in getting new readers". It's about beliefs, principles and providing an antidote to the rest of the mainstream media:
"Scots have been bombarded with negative scare stories by pro-unionists and they don't get a proper balance and that balance is something we provide...
The No team are throwing up an aimless number of scare stories, most without any merit whatsoever, some of them plainly ridiculous.
We were waiting for a positive picture of why Scotland should stay in the union and what we've got is a picture of the doom that will await us in the event of a Yes vote. There's been no sign of that positivity".
He tells his Saint interviewer, Jonathan Bucks: "We've got the opportunity to reshape the country in a way that's more in line with Scotland's attitude to politics. It's not a two fingers to Westminster, it's not a case of 'we hate the English'.
"It's about taking responsibility to decide how to spend our money and how we go forward as a country. I don't think that's too much to ask for."
Scottish Independence, The Scotsman's digital platform
The Scotsman's publisher, Johnston Press, has launched a digital platform focused on the Scottish Independence debate. It is claiming to be a "go-to platform for expert reporting, polling data, opinion and in-depth analysis of the debate."
The site, Scottish independence, aims to bringing together the best content on the subject from across the net while curating material from The Scotsman and its stablemate, Scotland on Sunday.
The Scotsman's editor, Ian Stewart, said: "With the independence question dominating debates in the Scottish media, as well as conversations in Scottish homes and around the UK, Scottish Independence adds an extra dimension to the coverage already published on our own Scotsman.com...
"If there is one thing that Scotland is undeniably not short of right now, it's opinion on whether people should vote 'yes' or 'no' on September 18th and this new site displays the best selection of content in a high-visibility, easy-to-find and easy-to-navigate way."
Jeff Moriarty, Johnston's chief digital and product officer, said: "The Scottish referendum is the most significant community event in recent years... We believe it's of utmost importance to give a platform to the multiple voices in the Scottish independence debate."

I've got a thing for guys' hands. I think they often indicate what a guy's dick looks like – how long and thick the fingers are, and the shape, size, and sturdiness of the hands. I once told this to my friend Duncan, who's gay, and he agreed.
I was at my favorite East Village bar when the hottest guy I'd ever seen in real life asked if he could buy me a drink. He looked exactly like Charlie Hunnam in 'Sons of Anarchy.' I was hoping his name was Jax (…it wasn't). Turned out he was a twenty-eight-year-old filmmaker from Sweden. I'm not revealing my exact age here, but I'll say I'm ALMOST old enough to have pushed him out of my vaginal canal covered in placenta.
Despite our age difference (or maybe because of it), the chemistry was wildly palpable. Four drinks later we were having a groping make-out session on 1st Avenue. He had beautiful, enormous hands. This was going to be a good night…
The next day, after the Swede left my apartment, I was nursing my hangover while dutifully texting Duncan with an update. I was weirded out and a bit incredulous. "I thought he'd be a better lay," I typed.
"DUH. He's twenty-eight."
"That's why I thought he'd be a good fuck," I wrote.
"Of course not. That's one good thing about getting older. (Also, you're officially a cougar now, by the way.)"
"Wait, are 28-year-olds just not good lays?"
"Sex is pre-libidinal catharsis for them, rather than plain good sport."
"'Pre-libidinal' is a thing?"
"Latent libidinal is probably more accurate."
"At 28???"
"Izzy," Duncan texted, "Some are children until the day they die!"
I guess I'd just assumed sex with a hot twenty-eight-year-old would be primal, robust, ravenous… It wasn't. I was right about the hands, though.

Real-Time Innovations (RTI), the real-time Industrial Internet of Things communications platform company, and the European Space Agency (ESA) today announced the first ever measurement of force-feedback in Space. NASA Astronaut Berry Wilmore conducted the Haptics-1 experiment on-board the International Space Station. The scientific technology demonstration experiment was conceived, designed, developed and implemented by the European Space Agency Telerobotics and Haptics Laboratory and sets a new technology milestone for space robotics. It marks the first time that robotic force reflection technology has been used in space. The results and measurements from this experiment will help future space missions control robots over great distances in an intuitive way, allowing them to perform complex, human-controlled tasks in places where humans have no access.
This first proof of Haptic technology in space will enable man-in-the-loop control of advanced robotic systems on planetary surfaces while the astronaut remains in a safe orbit. On Mars, for example, having dexterous robots on the surface conducting human-like operations mean that costly and dangerous atmospheric entry and return can be avoided completely for many tasks.
"With Haptics-1 we are paving the way towards an entirely new type of combined human-robotic mission," says Dr. Andre Schiele, the principal investigator of the experiment and founder of the ESA Telerobotics & Haptics Laboratory. "We are investigating in great detail the limits of human perception and the ability of robotics to apply fine forces and manipulations in a weightless environment. This experiment allows us to understand the technology boundaries for advanced robotic equipment to support human astronauts in space. With Haptics-1, this type of science and technology experiment is taking place for the first time in space."
Before today neither the ESA, NASA nor any other space-fairing nation have gained detailed experience in this domain. In addition to measuring physiological parameters, Haptics-1 provides important insights on how force-reflection from a remote robotic system changes human perception in space. With these measurements, advanced robotic control equipment can be designed to better reflect the realities of human manipulation through a robotic interface in a weightless environment. This will enable more natural interaction with remote robots and lead to significantly more efficient remote operations and mission designs. Robots could be located thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers away, yet perform tasks as complex as a human operator could with objects in hand.
The relevance of such advanced robotic remote control for applications on Earth is apparent with the need to intervene at sites inaccessible or dangerous to humans, such as in deep waters or in contaminated areas.
Haptics-1 requires advanced technology including the RTI Connext® DDS communications platform to handle advanced messaging between different robotic devices across a DIL (Disconnected Intermittent and Lossy) link, such as space presents. All displays that guide the astronaut crew through the experiments are fully automated within a robotics app that runs on a Dell Latitude 10 tablet PC. This type of experiment implementation is progressive and defines an improved approach for more efficient experiment execution on-board the International Space Station.

text: Hi All, To day I came back home after driving 40 kms, and reversing my car to the garage( slightly upwards towards the garage). Car got stuck in between, not able to slot to any gear, and clutch was stuck to the floor. Tried to move, push and start, nothing worked. Then I lifted the clutch with hand, it started working Tried many times afterwords, it is perfectly fine . Mine is 1.4 Punto, 3 1/2 years, 24k done, 1st batch model. a) Is it a case of CSC problem? I never faced any problem till now while slotting into any gear. Only thing is I skipped 4th scheduled service (completion of 3rd year) since my car ran only 6k kms by then, after 3rd service, and I am planing to get it done after this trip. b) I plan to travel 2 days later to my native, 1000 kms round trip. Should I visit SC now? Will they be able to identify the issue since clutch came back to working condition? c) Is it one off case for which no need to worry ( I am happy if it is )? Moreover, please let me know is it ok to travel now (I am traveling on 11th). Waiting for experts advice. Thx, Sree

I was thinking the other day and started looking at what guys and girls look for in a significant other. I considered some of the obvious things and some of the things that I personally look for that some guys would be embarrassed to admit. Here's a list of what I THINK guys look for in a girl not in any order, just a randomized list:
Some obvious ones:
-A sense of humor
-Good moral values
-Can challenge me mentally
-Musically inclined or plays sports is a plus but not necessary
-Cares about her body
-Knows what she's doing in life
-Someone who I can share a deep conversation with
Some that I know I look for:
-Can hold me when I'm at my lowest and..
-Can pick me up when I'm down.
-I can spend Sunday morning cuddling with (I LOVE that sh*t).
-Can let me be a man but understands that I'm also human.
-I can bring her home to my family.
-Enjoys candle-lit dinners and late night star gazing... seriously... (im a romantic)
-Lastly... Can make a bomb-ass sandwich! (jk but knowing how to cook is good. I can cook well, so its not necessary)
Those are just a few that came to mind.
So ladies which ones do you agree with and what would you add? Please, no hate from the guys telling me I'm a F** because you can't deny that cuddling's the sh*t!
Most Helpful Guy
Men and women like many of the same qualities, but will tend to prioritize them differently.
Also, I think you'll find trying to find a few of those things in most women will lead you to the friend zone.00|00|0
Which ones?
- Show AllShow Less
"Can pick me up when I'm down."
that one?
Yeah. Once in a while sure, long term ...
Women can do mommy mode or lover mode. They don't flip back and forth too well.

A supercomputer has overcome for the first time in history the Turing test , which seeks to determine if a machine is able to have own thinking, reports The Guardian .
Eugene Goostman , a program designed to respond like a 13 year old, he underwent Sunday a series of impromptu questions at the Royal Society of London. The questions and answers were exchanged for written messages and one third of the interrogators found that, in fact, were talking to a machine.
This milestone in the advancement of artificial intelligence has taken place on the 60th anniversary of the death of Alan Turing , the mathematician who laid the foundations of modern computing.
In his famous test, Turing stated that if a machine could fool a third of their partners into believing that it was actually a human, then the machine was actually "thinking" on their own.

I'm so excited that the weather is finally starting to cool down. I don't know about the weather where you are, but here in Kansas things have been, well, HOT. And then hot a few days more. Many cities approached or broke records for the number of 100-degree days. I think it's a little sad when I started getting excited about the weather report… "Hey, it's only supposed to be 90 tomorrow!!!".
Now, things have begun to cool down a little. Most nights the low is around 40-50 degrees, and it makes for beautiful fall evenings. "Soup weather", I call it. And it's one of my favorite seasons of the year!
Chicken Tortilla Soup is so simple, yet so tasty. It doesn't require anything out of the ordinary, so you can probably make it just about any day of the week without having to make a special trip to the grocery store.
Start by cooking your chicken breasts. I like to cook them in the chicken broth that I'll use for the soup. Most of the time, I buy bouillon because it is far cheaper than cartons or cans of broth. To cook the chicken in the broth, put 5 cups of water to boil on the stove. Once it starts boiling, add 4 teaspoons of bouillon and the chicken breasts. After the chicken is cooked, take them out and let them cool. We like small chunks of shredded chicken rather than cubes. If there is any fat in the broth, now is the time to skim it off and dispose of it.
Add the chicken with the other ingredients into the pot with the broth. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, and let it cook until the onions are done.
To make the soup just a little bit more special, I like to bake up some tortilla strips. Take regular tortillas and cut them in any shape you desire. Make sure that you make more than you think you will need. My husband eats one or two with every bite of soup, and my 2 1/2 year old loves to eat them plain!
Grease a baking sheet and put the tortillas on top. Spray the tortillas lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and maybe a little cumin.
Bake in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are light golden brown.
Top the soup with tortillas, cheese, and some fresh cilantro (or in our house, lots of cilantro!).
Cook chicken breasts, either in a pan with a little canola/vegetable oil, or boil in chicken broth. Let cool and cut or shred into bite-sized chunks. Add all ingredients to a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until onions are translucent. Garnish with tortilla chips, cheese, and cilantro if desired.

Both sides in the Libya conflict have committed war crimes and must be held to account according to a report by Amnesty International.
It details pro-Gaddafi attacks on civilians using tanks, rockets and artillery and details numerous summary executions.
But forces of the new administration are accused too.
Claudio Cordone from the human rights group said: "I think that it is important, despite all the great challenges that they have, that they prioritise the situation in the detention centres, because every day people are being brought in there, beaten, it also happened in our presence, and people are at risk of abuse. There is no judicial process and it is important that there is a central authority that takes care of all the detention centres."
The report said anti-Gaddafi forces were guilty of abductions and the killing of Gaddafi loyalists, although it said the abuses were on a smaller scale than those of their opponents.
It said both sides must be judged by the same standards.
But the interim justice minister Mohammed Al-Alagi responded to the criticism by saying "I think there are no war crimes. They are not the military, they are only ordinary people. (There) might (have been) some mistakes, but we can't classify them as war crimes at all."
The 112-page report was compiled between the outbreak of the uprising in February and July, before the fall of Tripoli to anti-government forces.
The National Transitional Council has been struggling to impose its authority on the country since then. Amnesty said Libya must introduce new human rights laws once the fighting is over.

Everything in Bollywood depends on the box office collection of the films. How much the film has earned at the box office now it has become more relevant. There was a time when people think that 100 crores club movies are blockbuster now the time is for 300 or 400 crores. So in this case, Shahrukh Khan has said that he took himself away from the crores club race and he can't win in front of Salman Khan.
These days Shahrukh Khan is busy with the promotions of his upcoming movie Raees and daily he is meeting with the media. He is being seen in many events these days. During this, in an interview, Shahrukh said I can't compete with Salman Khan at the box office.
Raees's new song will release on Makar Sankranti
Shahrukh further added, what I am I think of none of us can give competition to him and it is a truth which we can't change. However, now Shahrukh has accepted his defeat but when he said that none of us can't compete with Salman, then what will be the Aamir Khan's reaction towards this, no one knows.
It is interesting to notice that Aamir Khan starring movie Dangal is doing very good at the box office and it has entered 350 crores club at the domestic box office. So in that case currently Aamir Khan's Dangal is highest grossing movie of Bollywood all time. However, it is clear that Shahrukh doesn't have any 300 cores film whether Aamir and Salman have two 300 crores films.

Finding Healthy Golden Retrievers For Sale
Adding a dog to your family is an exciting time for everyone. If the dog you would like to add to your family is a Golden Retriever, you will not be alone looking for a good Golden. The Golden Retriever is a very popular dog, and for good reason, these are one of the finest dogs you can own. The Golden Retriever is a beautiful dog with a gentle soul, they are loyal, loving, good with kids, and although they were bred as gun dogs, they can do many different jobs.
If you are looking for Golden Retrievers for sale there are many things to take into consideration before you purchase your next best friend. You do not want to jump in and purchase the first beautiful face you see; you want to make sure you have a quality puppy from a quality breeder.
The first thing you need to decide is if you want a Golden Retriever that is bred from hunting stock, or show stock. There is a difference, show dogs have been bred with the most exacting coat and body structure in mind. Hunting dogs will have been bred from the individuals that are the most durable, best swimmers, and show the knack for hunting.
The next thing to consider when looking for golden retrievers for sale is the fact that there are going to be many to look at, Golden's are bred by many people all around the country. Some breeder's do a fine job of breeding, but unfortunately some do not, you want to avoid these breeders at all cost. Anyone can have Golden Retrievers for sale and advertise them in the paper or a magazine, but this does not mean they are a good breeder. The best way to look for Golden Retrievers for sale is to create a list of breeders by checking the internet, magazines, newspapers, and other media outlets.
Once you have a list of breeders, it is actually a reasonably easy process to weed out the undesirable breeders. If the breeder is a member of the AKC, you can call the club and get a recommendation from them. You can contact the BBB and check for complaints against the breeder. You can contact their local dog warden and get information about the breeder, and there are websites that rate dog breeders. This should narrow your search quite a bit; you should now have a short list of breeders that have good ratings. Now you will want to call those breeders personally.
Your personal interviews will seal the deal as to which you will use, listen to the breeder closely, you can learn a lot by listening. Breeders fall into two groups, one that is a breeder for money, and the other that loves his Golden Retrievers and breeds them with the intent to better the breed. There is nothing wrong with breeding for money but if possible, purchase your Golden from the second type of breeder.
You may pay a little more for your Golden Retriever but the breeder will guarantee the dog, have all papers, have all veterinarian papers, and will gladly show you the parents of your puppy. This may not sound like a big deal, but if a breeder is hesitant to show you the parents of your puppy there could be a problem. As soon as you arrive at the breeders' facility you will learn a lot, a good breeder will encourage you to come to their facility and it will be clean, spacious, and full of happy beautiful Golden Retrievers.

I graduated exactly three weeks ago – May 11, 2013. A date of graduation should be filled with joys and smiles. But unexpectedly I cried as a child that date.
My sweetie and I went to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center where my commencement would take place more than an hour before its start at 2 p.m. This was the first time my school held the commencements there. Emerson College traditionally organized its graduation ceremonies at the Wang Theater, which is a few blocks away from its headquarters.
Countless smiles were produced on my face that afternoon. So were my people.
I smiled a lot because I concluded my Master's program with a result far more than what I set before I came to America on July 29, 2011.
I smiled a lot because I didn't disappoint the Fulbright program in Vietnam which granted me a full-time scholarship to study journalism at Emerson College two years ago.
I smiled a lot because I didn't let down my professors who trusted my diligence, especially in my last semester when serious challenges came unexpectedly and continuously.
I smiled a lot because I didn't spoil the expectation of my people in Vietnam and America who always support my journey for knowledge in America.
I smiled a lot because I saw nearly all my classmates and some of my professors whom I were aware that I would not have much chance to see again soon.
I smiled a lot because of the precious presence of my sweetie from Vietnam, my great friend Elizabeth from New York, and her Mom, and my best friend, Uncle Jim and his daughter.
Everything seemed perfect. My ao dai, a Vietnamese women's traditional dress which I had it tailored for my engagement ceremony years ago, enableld me to be dressed up for my special day. With the assistance of my sweetie, I put on the graduation outfit soon after I got to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
One thing I must confess was that I didn't know how to wear my graduation hood correctly though I tried it on at home. My thanks went to my classmate Katie who helped fix my dressing a few minutes before we walked to the front seats on the left in Hall C. It was nice of her to prepare safety pins and use them to fasten the fronts of our hoods in front at the base of the neck. It was my mistake that I didn't check beforehand how to wear the back of the hood, which should hang in the way that its folds are open and inside colors show.
On walking down the aisle to my seat, I was glad to see Elizabeth and her mother whom I didn't have a chance to see from the start because we had to line up for the procession in a different hall about an hour before the ceremony. So did Uncle Jim and his daughter. Elizabeth and her mom were standing along the aisle and try take my photos.
I got a little nervous when our class was called and my graduate program director Jerry led our class to proceed to the stage. As the reader called my name, I ascended to the stage, handshaked with the President who smilingly conferred the diploma on me and walked to my professor who stood in between the President and the dean of graduate studies Richard and gave a hug and handshake to us. Because I got more nervous on the stage, I didn't look at the audience and didn't know that my professor Melinda called me, and Elizabeth and my sweetie expected me to turn my face toward them so that they could catch my delighted face.
Like other classmates, I exited the stage to the Registrar's table to receive my real diploma. Never did I know that something wrong was awaiting me there. Never did I know that I would be the only one who returned to my seat with a bare hand. I tried to hold my tears but I failed when Registrar people said "Sorry we didn't have your diploma here."
How could that happen?
One of the two Registrar persons said that my diploma might have been left in their office while the other said I didn't belong to the spring graduation. The second explanation was unacceptable to me because my name was on that date's graduation list.
– I am eligible to graduate in the spring. My name is on the list today.
– We are sorry but we will mail it by Fedex to you tomorrow. Just write down your address please.
I walked away in tears without anything in hands. Because my diploma wasn't available, I wasn't given an alumni's shirt, the diploma holder and other stuff as my classmates were. On my way back to the seat, I met Elizabeth and her mom who were patiently waiting for me and told me that they took photos when I was on the stage. I cried as a child when telling them what happened.
Right after the ceremony ended, I tried to walk as fast as I could back to the Registrar's table to ask for the diploma holder but Registrar people left. Lucky me, when learning that I was looking for Registrar people for a diploma holder, a person of the school staff came to the stage and at last found one left near the podium for me. It was also kind of him to give me an alumni shirt.
I felt guilty for letting my people waiting for me and wondering where I was then. I felt sorry for missing a chance to take a photo with my thesis professor who asked me to wait for her outside when I was on my way to exit outdoors. I felt regretful for not saying a goodbye to all my classmates and taking a photo with each of them. I should have taken photos with them when we were queueing for the procession if I had my camera with me then. I wished there had been a farewell buffet for all of us so that the faculty and students could get together after the ceremony.
I was thankful to my sweetie, Elizabeth and her mom for waiting for me to the end and celebrating my graduation at a good restaurant in the Chinatown on that late afternoon. Before we left the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, I met my internship professor, some of my classmates, my best classmate Shazia and our common friend AbdulRafiu, exchanging a few chats and taking some photos with them.
At last I have my belated Master's diploma before I return home. I got it almost a week after my commencement. It was enclosed in a holder.
Many thanks to all for helping me make May 11, 2013 my day. All my memories at Emerson College will never fade.

5 Songs that will Fit Well with Any High
As a lover of music, you certainly would want the best songs in your playlist. However, there are just some songs that would go well, especially if you are also a weed lover. Those hours of being high will just turn out to be hours of boredom if you are not doing anything. Rather than getting stuck with nothing, why not add the following 5 songs in your playlist and enjoy them when you are feeling that awesome marijuana high?
Bob Marley – Kaya
The fact that Bob Marley has always been known for his love of ganja makes his songs more amazing. His Jamaican reggae, combined with his passion for marijuana can create that amazing feeling after smoking your favorite marijuana strain. The title, Kaya, is another word which means 'marijuana', and the lyrics clearly show the singer's love for ganja. He mentioned that he feels so high that he can even touch the sky.
Alabama Shakes – Sound and Color
When you feel stoned, you surely would want to search for music that can stimulate your mind. As such, this song is just perfect for you! It is equipped with all of the best components that can stimulate your listening and thinking skills. Perhaps you have already heard this song on the latest commercial of the iPad Pro, along with virtual images of the outer space. At the same time, its earthy tones will certainly keep you engaged in, along with its twirling and rifting.
The melodies are also lingering and vibrating, clinging to the ear. It also leaves some bright and soft kisses to your ear, stimulating your senses all throughout. An interesting feature of this song is that you can even notice a diabolical breakdown before the song ends, as the singer just allows the melody to flow all throughout her own voice. As such, you can hear both joy and sorrow in her singing.
Donnie Trumpet/The Social Experiment – Pass the Vibes
Do you want to feel those 'vibes'? If so, this song selection is perfect for you. This is perfect if you are planning to get high together with a group of cool people. If the title alone stops you from passing weed, then do not worry. The rich, smooth melody can help you out. Both bass and alto singers entertain you as they work together, intertwining their voices, in order to create a lyrical component of the song, making it extremely memorable. This song does not have a lot of lyrical components, but they are not really necessary. This song is just amazing because it gives you that Jamaican swag to it. Whether you want to listen to it while chilling with your friends or listening to it alone, you can expect a good time.
Mayer Hawthorne (Feat. Rizzle Kicks) – The Walk
One of the best ways to get over a break up is to allow your mind to relax by means of smoking your favorite marijuana strain. Rather than feeling bummed because of the experience, why not explore your sanity while feeling the high, and listening to this music at the same time? You may not be able to forget your ex right away, but after lighting up a smoke, you will be brought somewhere else.
With a good music such as 'The Walk', you would certainly be able to enjoy your time while feeling the high. The rapping and singing duo of this song elaborates a precise and expressive message, and at the same time sending a catchy tune to anybody who feels the pain of a breakup. The best part is that, this song is also accessorized in the right mix with the gentle and poignant voice of Mayer Hawthorne. At the same time, the cold and soulful lyrics can provide you that explanation that gives clarity to your feelings.
SZA (Feat. Chance the Rapper) – Child's Play
Are you up for a chilling, high night? The easy going and soft voice of SZA may turn out to be the best thing that you need in order to relax well. This song can even bring back to you some good memories in the past coming from someone. At the same time, the collaboration of Chance the Rapper brings this song to a higher level. He easily juggles the attention of the listener, captivating with this voice impression, down to his melodic representation at the end of the song. At the same time, the song's captivating breakdown towards the end will just leave you that amazing, nostalgic feeling.
There are also other songs that you might want to add to your list, but with these songs at hand, you can already expect a great sensation while feeling that amazing high!

Are custom snoring devices better than over the counter mouthpieces?
Many life-long snorers are wondering if the high price is really justified and if there is a significant difference between the custom made and commercially produced snoring mouthpieces.
There are several differences, which greatly depend on the model.
1. The quality of fitting
One of the greatest advantages of custom made devices is their perfect fitting, since they are individually made for each customer, using precise measurements and impressions of his or her jaws and teeth. But, 'boil and bite' no-snoring mouthguards also achieve very high level of customization, as long as the customer follows the instructions to the letter.
When a customer orders one of the 'boil and bite' products online, he or she gets the generic mouthpiece made of thermoplastic. That type of plastic becomes soft when immersed in the hot water.
Customer is supposed to insert the device into his mouth while still hot and malleable and bite hard on it in order to get the accurate impression of his or her jaws. After a few seconds, the plastic cools and becomes hard and rigid, retaining the exact impression of the customer.
Some over-the-counter mouthpieces such as SleepPro Custom
use similar dental impression kit, but after the customer takes the impression of his or her teeth, the impression is sent to the lab to be used to produce a customized oral device. The finalized mouthpiece is then sent back to the customer to be used to stop his snoring.
When dentists create custom made no snoring mouthpieces, they in fact go through the same process: they use a mold to create the impression of customer's teeth, which they then send to the lab to be used to produce a no-snoring device.
Is there a difference in the quality? If a customer follows the instruction that comes with the kit, the impression should be as good as that produced by the dentist and the resulting appliance should be as perfectly fitting as that made by the dentist.
Of course, people are not always careful or patient and make a mess of impressions, so the devices do not come as they should, but with a bit of trial and error, the resulting product should be a perfect no-snoring device without a huge price attached.
2. Adjustability
In order to stop snoring, a mouthpiece is supposed to advance the jaw of the wearer slightly. This advancement should be done in small increments, bit by bit. Advancing the jaw too much right away would result in the painful jaw in the morning and probably not much sleep.
All good custom made no-snoring oral appliances have a range of advancement settings, which a customer can use to slowly push his jaw one setting at the time, until the result is achieved: no more snoring. There are several over-the-counter no-snoring devices with similar settings, such as SnoreRX, which features 10 advancement settings. Since this ability to adjust the settings is the key to the comfortable use and effectiveness of any oral appliance, only those that can be adjusted are comparable in quality to the custom made appliance.
3. Life expectancy
As expected, custom made professionally fitted oral devices generally have a longer lifespan. The life expectancy of commercially produced no snoring devices greatly depends on the model, the manufacturer and the material used for the product.
While professional devices normally last from two to five years, commercially produced mouthpieces last between three month and two years. This, of course, depends on how often the device is used, whether the user also grinds his or her teeth, and how he or she maintains his appliance.
4. The price
The most obvious difference between custom-fitted snoring devices and those purchased online is the price. While over the counter mouthpieces cost between $35 up to $200, you should expect to pay up to $2000 for a device made by your dentist.
The dentists justify the high price by the number of visits you have to make: first for the examination and consultation, then for the fitting, and, after it has been made, for adjustment. Keep in mind that almost no insurance companies will cover any of these expenses.
5. Safety
Dentists, as is to be expected, are not happy by the popularity of off-the-counter no-snoring products. One of their major complaints is that such devices are used without any medical supervision and that they can do quite a lot of damage if not used properly.
While there is some possibility of soreness caused by a poorly fitting device, this very much depends on the model of the OTC appliance. The quality between them varies a great deal. In addition, customers are not stupid and will not continue to use an appliance that is not fitting or is not doing the job of stopping snoring. Since the price of OTC appliances is often low, a person can keep trying different models until he or she finds the one that works.
6. Convenience
The ability to get a no-snoring device from a local drugstore made it available to thousands of people who would not be able to get it otherwise. Visits to the dentists are time consuming and expensive, and many people would simply continue snoring, without having the benefit of a technology that is now available to put a stop to the annoying habit.
7. Snoring and apnea?
While some over-the-counter mouthpieces work to stop snoring and prevent apnea, apnea is far too serious to be treated without the medical input. In fact, every person who snores should visit the doctor to make sure that snoring is not a symptom of apnea.
During such a visit, a doctor can also suggest if a person is a good candidate for a no-snoring device, custom or commercial.…

Derrick's serves cream teas, as well as many other delicious things, usually you have strawberry cream and clotted cream with scones, but we decided to go for something different, I had Queen Victoria's Cream Tea, 'Your choice of plain or fruit home-made scone served with clotted cream and lemon curd together with a pot of house tea', my beloved had a Cherry Delight Cream Tea, 'Home-made cherry scone served with clotted cream and morello cherry & vintage port jam together with a pot of house tea'.
Delicious…. but I think I might try the Cherry Delight next time!

Hypoadiponectinemia has been widely observed in patients with gestational diabetes. To investigate the causal role of hypoadiponectinemia in gestational diabetes, adiponectin gene knockout (Adipoq-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice were crossed to produce pregnant mouse models with or without adiponectin deficiency. Adenoviral vector-mediated in vivo transduction was used to reconstitute adiponectin during late pregnancy. Results showed that Adipoq-/- dams developed glucose intolerance and hyperlipidemia in late pregnancy. Increased fetal body weight was detected in Adipoq-/- dams. Adiponectin reconstitution abolished these metabolic defects in Adipoq-/- dams. Hepatic glucose and triglyceride production rates of Adipoq-/- dams were significantly higher than that of WT dams. Robustly enhanced lipolysis was found in gonadal fat of Adipoq-/- dams. Interestingly, similar levels of insulin-induced glucose disposal and insulin signaling in metabolically active tissues in Adipoq-/- and WT dams indicated that maternal adiponectin deficiency does not reduce insulin sensitivity. However, remarkably decreased serum insulin concentrations were observed in Adipoq-/- dams. Furthermore, β-cell mass, but not glucose-stimulated insulin release, in Adipoq-/- dams was significantly reduced compared with WT dams. Together, these results demonstrate that adiponectin plays an important role in controlling maternal metabolic adaptation to pregnancy.

I don't think there is a such thing as "the prettiest girls" on the planet. Indian girls can be quite pretty though!
According to some stats of Facebook dating app "Are You Interested" the most desired women are Asian. Granted, this is only one piece of info though, and it only took into account the 4 main groups on the app. But I thought it interesting nevertheless.

Alfa Romeo has recently taken the impressive and new 4C to the Balocco test track, where the sports car has burned some rubber while being filmed.
Alfa Romeo's newest production car is named the 4C and the model will go on sale later on this year against models like the Porsche Cayman. The Alfa Romeo 4C is powered by a 1.75 liter four-cylinder mid-mounted turbocharged engine, the same one used on the Giulietta. The total output produced by the unit stands at a total of 240 HP (176 kW) and 350 Nm of torque (258 lb-ft). The unit is mated to a dual clutch transmission.
Thanks to this configuration, the Alfa Romeo 4C can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.5 seconds and it can reach a top speed of more than 250 km/h (155 mph). The new Italian sports car signed by Alfa Romeo has been officially presented to the public, in a world premiere, earlier this year, during the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The model will go on sale by the end of 2013. You can check it out in action in the video posted below.
