"When depression settles upon the soul, it is no evidence that God has changed. He is 'the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.' Hebrews 13:8. You are sure of the favor of God when you are sensible of the beams of the Sun of Righteousness; but if the clouds sweep over your soul, you must not feel that you are forsaken. Your faith must pierce the gloom…. The riches of the grace of Christ must be kept before the mind. Treasure up the lessons that His love provides. Let your faith be like Job's, that you may declare, 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.' Job 13:15. Lay hold on the promises of your heavenly Father and remember His former dealing with you and with His servants, for 'all things work together for good to them that love God.' Romans 8:28." –That I May Know Him, p. 257.
Meeting the patriarch
1. Who lived in the land of Uz in the time of the patriarchs? What wonderful testimony is given of him in the Holy Scriptures?
Job 1:1, 4, 5, 8 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil…. 4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. 5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually…. 8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
" 'I was a father to the poor; and the cause which I knew not I searched out.' This was an evidence that Job had the righteousness that was after Christ's order…. Faith works by love and purifies the soul. Faith buds and blossoms and bears a harvest of precious fruit." –General Conference Daily Bulletin, March 18, 1897.
Tests and trials
2. What is told about his economic wellbeing? How did he accept the misfortunes and adversities that suddenly swept away his wealth and his family?
Job 1:2, 3, 20-22 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. 3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east…. 20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, 21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. 22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
"Frequently the very best evidence that we can have that we are in the right way is that the least advance costs us effort and that darkness shrouds our pathway. It has been my experience that the loftiest heights of faith we can only reach through darkness and clouds….
"It is not safe for us to cherish doubts and fears, for these grow by looking upon and talking them. I feel to reach up my hand and grasp the hand of Christ as did the sinking disciple on the stormy sea. I want to do my work with fidelity that when I shall stand before the great white throne and am called to answer for the things done in the body, which are all written in the book, that I may see souls standing there to testify I warned them, I entreated them to behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world." –This Day with God, p. 212.
3. In addition to his previous losses, what did Job suffer bodily from head to foot? What did even his wife say, which made his life all the more difficult?
Job 2:7-9 So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. 8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes. 9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
"Learn the lessons of meekness and lowliness in the school of Christ. Realize how much He bore for us, and then count it not a mark of God's anger that you have some trials to bear for Jesus. If you trust God, the trials will always prove a blessing, and your faith will come forth the brighter, the stronger, the purer. Satan is always trying to press the soul into distrust of God, and therefore we must educate the mind to trust Him. Talk faith and hope when Satan says, as did the wife of Job, 'Curse God, and die.' If you trust God, you will see more reason to trust Him. As you talk of His goodness, you will see more of His love to talk about. Thus the mind may be trained to live in the brightness of the Sun of righteousness, and not in the shadow which Satan casts athwart our path. Hope in God, who is the health of our countenance, and our God." –Review and Herald, September 1, 1891.
He looked beyond by faith
4. How did Job respond to all these adversities and the temptation to doubt of God's kindness and love?
Job 2:10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
"The hindrances that hold us back from perfecting Christian characters are in ourselves. Jesus can remove them. The cross He requires us to bear will create strength in us more than it consumes, and remove our heaviest burdens to take the burden of Christ, which is light. Conflicts and trials we must meet in the discharge of duty. Christ has called us to glory and to virtue. The life He has through His own suffering and death prepared for us to lead, would never have cost us a pain or grief if we had never left it. Every self-denial and every sacrifice we make in following Christ are so many steps of the lost sheep returning to the fold." –This Day with God, p. 212.
5. How firm was the faith of this famous patriarch? Did he see the tests and physical suffering as insurmountable obstacles or as instruments in God's hand?
Job 13:15; 23:10 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him…. 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
"It is said of Abraham that he believed God, and his faith was counted to him for righteousness. At the call of God, he left his country and people, and went out, 'not knowing whither he went.' 'He looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.' Hebrews 11:8. Moses, also, through faith, esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he had respect unto the recompense of reward. Job, in the midst of his great loss and bodily suffering, could say, 'For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.'…
"We may say with Job: 'He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.' Job 23:10. 'For thou, O God, hast proved us; Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.' Psalm 66:10." –Signs of the Times, August 20, 1896.
6. Despite the terrible adversity and his physical suffering, what was the certainty that gave Job strength to endure?
Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
"Let us honor God by showing firm faith and unswerving trust. Let us remember that He is not glorified by the manifestation of a fretful, unhappy spirit. The Lord cares for the flowers. He gives them beauty and fragrance. Will He not much more give us the fragrance of a cheerful disposition? Will He not restore in us the divine image? Then let us have faith in Him. Let us now, just now, place ourselves where He can give us His Holy Spirit. Then we can give to the world a revelation of what true religion does for men and women. The joy of a Saviour filling our hearts gives us that peace and confidence which enables us to say, 'I know that my Redeemer liveth.' Job 19:25." –Ye Shall Receive Power, p. 72.
The Lord's answer
7. After Job's serious tests, what great blessings did the Lord give him? What additional blessings did he expect in the future?
Job 42:10-12 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. 11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. 12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
"According to his faith, so was it unto Job. 'When He hath tried me,' he said, 'I shall come forth as gold.' Job 23:10. So it came to pass. By his patient endurance he vindicated his own character, and thus the character of Him whose representative he was. And 'the Lord turned the captivity of Job:… also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before…. So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning.' Job 42:10-12." –Education, p. 156.
" 'Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.' Job 19:27. And the dying words of the apostle Paul were: 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.' 2 Timothy 4:7, 8." –The Youth's Instructor, July 8, 1897.
Job is an example
8. Among what noble men did the prophet Ezekiel present Job? What does the New Testament say about him, his endurance, and his faith?
Ezekiel 14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
"My faith cannot save you, nor your faith avail for my salvation. Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in the land, they could deliver neither son nor daughter by their righteousness; they could only deliver their own souls. We should seek God now for His pardoning grace. Now is the time to obtain genuine religious experience for the trying scenes that are just before us. God wants us to be in earnest, He wants us to be happy. When He gave Christ to the world, He gave all Heaven in that one priceless gift. He opened up to us all the treasures of His power and grace. By living faith we may grasp the hand of Infinite Power. We may be so connected with the God of heaven that His grace may be found sufficient in every emergency of life. Says the prophet, 'Five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight.' Leviticus 26:8." –Signs of the Times, June 10, 1889.
For reflection
- Can a Christian's hope be based on the sandy foundation of feeling and circumstances?
- Will the true believer focus his view on the clouds and darkness, or will he look beyond what he can see?
- Like the patriarch Job, what opportunities will trials and adversities give him?
For further study
"The long years amid desert solitudes were not lost. Not only was Moses gaining a preparation for the great work before him, but during this time, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he wrote the book of Genesis and also the book of Job, which would be read with the deepest interest by the people of God until the close of time." –(Signs of the Times, February 19, 1880) Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, vol. 3, p. 1140.
"The Lord in His providence had brought this trial upon Abraham to teach him lessons of submission, patience, and faith–lessons that were to be placed on record for the benefit of all who should afterward be called to endure affliction. God leads His children by a way that they know not, but He does not forget or cast off those who put their trust in Him. He permitted affliction to come upon Job, but He did not forsake him. He allowed the beloved John to be exiled to lonely Patmos, but the Son of God met him there, and his vision was filled with scenes of immortal glory. God permits trials to assail His people, that by their constancy and obedience they themselves may be spiritually enriched, and that their example may be a source of strength to others. 'I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil.' Jeremiah 29:11. The very trials that task our faith most severely and make it seem that God has forsaken us, are to lead us closer to Christ, that we may lay all our burdens at His feet and experience the peace which He will give us in exchange." –Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 129.

Congrats on the new release. We look forward to testing out the new async methods with Redis.
Just a note of thanks to the GrandNode team for making the Azure CDN integration so simple to get up and running. I set 3 AzureBlob config variables in appsettings.json, and it just worked. All images are now automatically uploaded to blob storage, saving us disk space on the web server. Images & thumbnails on the front-end are being served up from the Azure CDN. Very impressed.
We started with a new 4.40 database. We wrote a custom product import process to load our products, product tags, and categories. We use the following code to create new product tags:
var productTag = _productTagService.GetProductTagByName(tagName);
if (productTag == null)
//add new product tag
productTag = new ProductTag
Name = tagName,
Count = 0,
Deleting a product tag for a product is throwing a null reference exception if a tag contains uppercase letters.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Grand.Web.Areas.Admin.Services.ProductViewModelService.SaveProductTags(Product product, String[] productTags) in C:\dev\Grand.Web\Areas\Admin\Services\ProductViewModelService.cs:line 192
Also, adds lowercase tags to product record, essentially duplicating tags.
Thanks for the quick turnaround.
When deleting a product tag on the product edit admin page and saving changes, the tag is not getting removed from the product. Verified on local copy and GrandNode 4.40 demo site.
Congrats Patryk and Team! Look forward to working with the new release.
To sort product attributes by display order in the shopping cart, I also added an OrderBy to the following code in ShoppingCartViewModelService.cs:
public virtual string ParseProductAttributes(Product product, IFormCollection form)
string attributesXml = "";
#region Product attributes
var productAttributes = product.ProductAttributeMappings.OrderBy(x => x.DisplayOrder);

In v4.20 product attributes are not sorted by display order on both the product details page and quick view.

Unusual Fetishes

- Lily Harlem said...
Thanks so much for having me today at 3WW. This list was fun to source - though left my brain slightly addled a few times! Not least because I'm still recovering from a night of sexy readings and fun at the Lincoln Book Festival with several UK author friends :-)

We're thrilled you're here, Lily.
Will have to check out all the blogs regarding the Lincoln Book Fair. Sounds like it was a whole lot of fun.
Now about these fetishes...goodness, a couple of them are just downright scary. lol And uh, the dude with the tree? Gives new meaning to the term "woody" doesn't it? LOL

Now wouldn't those be great additions to the work a day calendar!!!! Wow, there are a lot of fetishes out there I could have never imagined. Thanks for the really interesting post.

- Unknown said...
Wow, an awesomely disturbing, yet highly interesting list. I had no idea...
I'm getting hot flashes just thinking about these two stories. Lily, you've got me hooked and I must have them.

LMAO @ creepy hairstylists, but whoa and Umm, no thank you, to a cigarette being anywhere near my private parts.
Mind you, that WAS Brad with that cigarette, wasn't it? Hmm...
- May 15, 2011 at 12:05 PM
LMAO!! Great post, Lily! I had no idea there were so many fetishes out there. I think I'll stay with the more "traditional" ones, if you can call them that. :0)). The hairstylist comment gave me a good laugh. Though I run my hands through people's hair all day, titillating it is not! And definitely not when I come home with random hairs in my bra or underwear!!!
Thanks for sharing what I found to be some seriously disturbing practices! LOL! But hey, now if I see those words, I'll know to stay clear of that book!!

Tom Mitchell This is my current favorite album by Poemme... and one of my current favorite ambient albums... why? because it has been SO USEFUL to me... for meditation (even though I mostly do silent meditations)... it's useful as background while I'm doing Buddhist chants.... and I also find that it is perfect during DAYTIME use as it doesn't get too "dark" (it has an uplifting daytime quality about it).
Much appreciated!
Favorite track: miniature menagerie.

It's time for another Core Dump! This one's a very mixed batch — a platformer, a racer, some real-time strategy games, a maze app for kids, a hidden object game that's not for kids, and word puzzles. So if you like iOS apps, there's probably something here for you.
Monster Crew — free universal app (optional in-app currency)
Halloween's over, but that doesn't mean you can't still have some fun with monsters. The story behind this platformer's a bit weird — something about a kid who finally completed his Monster Crew cards collection only to have them sold to some creepy dude in a castle, and then he turns into Frank of the Monster Crew ... Like I said, strange. But the gameplay is simple: tap anywhere to jump, and tap again to stomp down. You'll traverse floor after floor filled with spiders, skeletons, and ghosts, trying to stomp the ones you can and avoid the ones you can't. As you play, you'll collect "cards" which give you bonuses — you can play a single card after each completed floor, helping you to get further or gain coins to buy more cards for your deck.
The gameplay isn't spectacular, but my kids and I are having fun trying to build up the deck. There is a storyline that you follow, and as you complete missions you get bits of the story revealed to you. Some of the items in the Bonus Store seem ridiculously overpriced, because they're clearly wanting you to spend some real cash on the in-app currency, but you can play quite a ways into the game without spending a dime. Not quite as great as, say, Jetpack Joyride, but a fun diversion.
Righteous Kill - free demo for iPhone or iPad (in-game unlock for $2.99 iPhone, $4.99 HD iPad)
Righteous Kill is another crime detective hidden object game, somewhat like Masters of Mystery: Crime of Fashion. You're a detective searching for clues to solve a series of murders. It's loosely based on a 2008 movie starring De Niro and Pacino, but in the game you're a female detective and there isn't any sign of Turk and Rooster. Parts of the game are typical hidden-object searching, but you also have things like searching for fingerprints and laying out evidence. (This last part, though, is a bit too easy, because there aren't many clues that fit in multiple spots.) Because of the subject matter, this one's not for kids, although it's still fairly tame for adult fare.
Spell Rift - $2.99 iPad only
Here's another game from the Kieffer Bros. who created Aqueduct, but this time they've got a word puzzle game. It's sort of a hybrid between Boggle and match-three games, with tiles disappearing and dropping down. However, as you play through the game, more and more special tiles start to appear: bombs which have to be cleared within five moves, spinners that display a different letter after each turn, lock plates that must be used several times to clear, and so on. Each level also has one main objective to clear it, plus three achievements that can earn you stars. I got past most of the levels without too much trouble, but I still haven't managed to get all the stars yet — it can get pretty tough. As with the Kieffer Bros.' other apps, the graphics and sound are nicely done. The puzzle menu is made to look like a path through a floating world, which was unexpected but a nice touch. The only downside is that the letters do seem to be totally random, which means that sometimes you'll get huge runs of the same letter or sections of the board with no vowels whatsoever, but it's a big enough board that you can sometimes work a different section until things change.
Finger Tied - $2.99 iPad only
This one's somewhat bizarre, but can be fun to play with multiple players on a single iPad. In fact, you may need multiple players for some of these puzzles. Finger Tied is a sort of touch maze: you have to color in the provided shape from start point to finish without lifting your finger, retracing your path, or going outside the shape. Simple so far, right? Where it gets tricky is when you have multiple paths to trace, because you can't start until you're touching all of the start positions, and you can't lift any fingers until you reach all of the end positions. Some levels will feel like you're playing Twister with your fingers. I recruited my kids to help with some of the three- and four-finger mazes, but even then they were a challenge.
Tangled fingers aside, some of the puzzles are tricky just to figure out the paths — there are squares that must be moved through in a particular direction, squares that must be connected to a particular start or end path, and so on. On top of that, you'll earn a bronze, silver, or gold star depending on your speed in completing the puzzle. Even on Easy (the second of four levels) I've had trouble getting gold stars in everything without help. (Note: be sure to turn off multitasking gestures in Settings, or you won't be able to play any of the four-finger puzzles!)
Robot Race - $.99 universal app (optional in-app currency)
Robot Race is about, well, racing robots. You get to choose from a number of different bots — two are available at start, and the rest you can unlock by earning (or buying) in-app currency. Each bot also has three different skins you can purchase. But first you'll need to win some races, and then you'll want to spend money on the various weapons. As you race, you can pick up powerups that will boost you or slow down your enemies, and what's inside the powerups depends on which weapons you've unlocked in the store. There are six different tracks to race, each with their own obstacles and hidden shortcuts. You can either use tilt controls or touch-screen, although even with tilt you'll need to tap to activate powers, brake, and jump. It's not the best racing game I've ever played (it's certainly no F1 Race Stars), but it's kind of fun and has some humorous elements to it. Plus, it's only a buck.
Totem Tribe Gold — free demo for iPhone or iPad (in-game unlock for $4.99 iPhone, $6.99 iPad)
Totem Tribe Gold was originally a PC game that's been ported to iOS, and I've gotten totally sucked into it. It's been responsible for several late nights, so don't say I didn't warn you. Aruku, chief of the Hawk tribe, is that woman in the leopard print bikini, and life for her island-dwelling people has gotten dangerous and strange. You help explore the islands, searching for the source of the disruptions. Totem Tribe Gold is a real-time strategy game: your people can build different huts and buildings, which in turn produce specific types of people (workers, hunters, fighters, witch doctors) or can help you research better technology and magic. In the meantime, you can send your Scouts around the island to explore — there's a "fog of war" effect that hides most of the map until you've traveled there, so you don't always know where the bad guys are hiding until you come across them ... or when they come to you.
There are also puzzle elements to the game, and a hidden object feature as you look for little gems and other things scattered around the islands. (Again, though: why don't hidden-object games include a zoom feature for iOS? Even on the iPad those gems are tiny.) I've played it for literally hours, and am finally nearing the end. But I'll be a little sad when I'm finished, too. You can finish the main story in maybe about half that time, but there are side quests ("interludes") that open up when you fulfill certain requirements, and if you're trying to collect all the hidden objects you'll revisit the islands a lot.
The controls for the game are pretty straightforward and the first few levels are all about teaching you how things work. Once you have the basics, new buildings and people are introduced gradually, so by the time you reach the final levels you'll have harder decisions about what to build first and which technologies to pursue. Aside from the zoom feature, the one other thing I wish the game had was reminders about what side missions are present on each island on the map screen. I found myself quite often visiting an island to remember which one it was, and then having to wait while it saved and took me back to the map again. But these are mostly minor issues, and overall I had a lot of fun playing Totem Tribe Gold.
Fantasy Conflict - free demo for iPhone or iPad, full game $1.99 iPhone and $2.99 iPad
Here's another real-time strategy game, though it's a bit more frantic than Totem Tribe. Fantasy Conflict pits you (King Flabbian) against the dwarves, who have stolen the Energizer Crystal from your clock so that you overslept and missed breakfast. Whatever the cause, you're now at war with them so you're battling for territory across several different regions. Each level has a series of castles with roads leading to and from them. You and the enemy each start with one or more of the castles, and your goal is to take over all of the castles.
Any castle you hold will slowly increase its population up to its max. You can then send either half or all of those soldiers to a connected castle, where they will fight to take it over (or just lump in if it's already yours). You can also use soldiers to help build up a castle: increasing the size will raise the maximum population; building fortifications makes it costlier for your opponent to attack; building a cannon or crossbow will allow you to shoot down attacking soldiers or airships.
In the meantime, you'll also get some abilities that will charge up during play, letting you set fire to castles, call in extra troops, inflict a castle with plague, and so on. But watch out — the enemy will have a set of spells to use against you, too. The storyline and graphics are made to be pretty silly, and the game has one of the funniest achievement displays I've seen: it's that portrait of the fat king with his three fighters: as you earn achievements, they get new pieces of their outfits and accessories. It's another pretty fun game, though it would be cool to be able to play this against other humans and not just the AI opponent.
Maze Adventures - $2.99 iPad only
Finally, one for the kids. My kids like mazes, and Maze Adventures generates new mazes each time you play. With four difficulty levels, there are mazes easy enough for toddlers (maybe too easy) and more challenging ones for older kids. (Though it probably maxes out at tweens — the maze in the lower left is from the highest difficulty level.) You get to choose one of six characters, which changes the sorts of things that will appear in the maze, as well as the look of it. In each maze, you can just try to get to the exit if you like, but you'll get achievements for collecting all of the goodies and defeating all of the enemies (you'll need your weapon first) before exiting.
One nice touch is that pretty much all of the instructions are spoken, so non-readers can still play their mazes. My only complaint is the way you can press and hold a certain location to have the character automatically take the shortest path there. It only works up to a certain distance, but on the easier levels you can almost just press and hold the exit and wait for the computer to figure out the maze, defeating the purpose.

Put the pork in a bowl add 2 cloves if minced garlic, 1 teaspoon on soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame seed oil. Mix with your hands. Oil a pan and put your pork in. Stir to create small pieces. Let sit till it turns a light brown color. Now mix the pork with the veggies. Set aside.
Step 5: Assembly
Take your dough and divide it into three pieces. Take one piece and roll it out to be 1/4" thick. Find a round shape and use to cut the dough.( I used a can lid) now cup the dough and put a spoon full of filling in. Create a ball by folding the edges into each other. Now put the buns in a steamer and steam for 20 min.
Step 6: Sauce
Cut a1/2 onion and put in a bowl. Pour 1/2 cup of soy sauce on top then put 1/4 cup of rice vinegar in and stir.

(Monthly Retail by Kinds of Bizes, Census.org)
In 2014 Total Domestic retail was a $5.21 T industry. These $$ include Motor Vehicle & Parts Dealers (MV&PD) and Food Service and Drinking Establishments (FS & DE). We mention 441 & 772 specifically b/c Total Retail %s sometimes exclude these categories. Having said that, each of the following 13 major retail categories are represented in their 2014 Data digs. We also included 1 sub category, New Car Dealers 44111 (part of 441) to show its remarkable mu$cle. It is 80% of MV & PD, 80%.
We quickly see the dominance of MV & PD as it was 20% of 2014's Total Retail. There is NOT another category that even robusts 13% though 452 & 445 come close. (We note the importance of eating & drinking given the strength of 445 & 772). Gas Stations (with falling gas prices) total sales for 2014 was 10.3% of ALL Retail. The new kid on the block (Non Store Retailing) with its strong growing online sales component may well surpass Gas Stations, soon. Cols 3 & 4 are Holiday Season #s (N&D). Total, holiday spending (N&D) for 2014 was $937.2 B. Next to 441's 20% of Total Retail come Gen'l Mdsers (Dept Stores & Discount Stores) with 14.7% and then tied for 3rd place are FS & PD (Restaurants, Bars, etc) and Non Store Retailing) at 10.5%, each. So what's the Hiway to Holiday Succe$$? 44111 (New Car Dealers) again are 80% of MV&PD. WOW! As a matter of fact it's $134.3 B is right on the heels of Gen'l Mdsers $137.5 B for the most $$ spent during N&D in 2014. Lest we be confused, we cannot forget that while these $$ are extraordinary, Col 5 clearly states, it is ONLY 16.8% of this category's yearly retail. The ONLY N&D %s that are less belong to 444's (out of season) Bldg Materials & Garden Supplies (15.7%) and 447 (Gas Stations) at 14.7%. New Car Dealers? Really? Merry Xmas Cars with bows, bells and holiday songs (along with appropriate deals state the case clearly). Congrats to the NEW KING OF CHRISTMAS retail. The king is dead, long live the NEW KING!
Our last column, the aforementioned Col 5 returns us to the sobriety of which of the 13 major retail categories sells the greatest % of its products and/or services during the holidays. As we learned from Vol 25 Iss 89 the heavy hitter's % wise for N&D are Sprtg Gds, Hbby, Bk & Music Stores (23.4%), Electronic and Appliance Stores (23.2%) and Clothing and Accessory Stores (22.4%). Our 4th place finisher is Non Store Retailing (Overwhelmingly it is comprised of Electronic Sales). Our point is that while New Car Dealers produce the 3rd lowest % of holiday Sales (16.8%), it produces the 2nd highest holiday (N&D) revenue of $134.3 B. And, it narrowly loses to 452 (Gen'l Mdsers with its holiday dominating Dept Stores and Discounts). 452 produces $137.5 B during the holiday season (Dept Stores and Discounters). WOW! In short feed the beast and hope that New Wheels & HOT Deals continue their extraordinary growth in this auto-nomic recovery. Indeed Xmas Cars, Xmas Cars, Xmas Cars!

It was awesome getting to spend some time watching my brother, his beautiful wife Bec and their gorgeous son Harvey from behind the lens of my camera.
The love and dreams they share for their firstborn is so beautiful.
I always feel so lucky having the opportunity to be a part of capturing the early years a child's life.
Harvey is growing so fast from super tiny fingers and toes soon a toddler, a little person and into a boy who will grow into a man.
I hope I can continue to capture and document his growing life with James and Bec to manhood where he will one day share with his children these special memories of him and his family.

So, three days of the war claimed the lives of four Dagestani policemen. In the meantime, Shamil Basayev, who heads the Congress of peoples of Ichkeria and Dagestan, announced the establishment of the Islamic Shura.
This Advisory body had at its disposal the armed forces, which controlled several villages in the Tsumada district. The government of Dagestan plans to create on the edge of self-defense units and for this purpose requested weapons from the Federal government. The government of the Republic and the authorities called supporters of Basayev extremists, and their performances called "open military aggression" that threatens the lives and security of the population.

The Beginning
The Queen-Anne style home was constructed for Charles Hoefinghoff (1818-98), a native of Gleiwitz-Schleisen, Germany, who worked at his trade of moider, prior to his immigration to Cincinnati in 1854. In early 1880 he established a foundry and by 1890 it was one of the largest of its kind, earning him the reputation of the great iron man of the city, as well as, one of its most beloved and beneficial citizens.
More than 100 Years Later
In 1987, Mark and Patricia Parker purchased the Victorian home. After a few years of restoring the house to its original elegance, the Parker House Bed & Breakfast opened for business in 1991. The home quickly became a place where guests could experience 19th century luxury with 21st century convenience.
Today, Mark and Patricia still offer the same great comfort and care that they did more than 15 years ago. Throughout the years, The Parker House has welcomed thousands of guests from more than 20 countries around the world. We pride ourselves with the fact that many of our guests become repeat customers and friends.

Its hard to go over the top when you simplify communication
Younger people respond faster and with more brevity.
However, you may get 3 letter acronyms that take a few seconds to process. Once learned, they are fun.
This form of communication is usually short but maybe sometimes obscure!
Simplifying a business can be started with simpler communication. Lets start with email and break a few rules to get to "simple":
- Unless it's a policy, don't "CC" the crew. This loads up their inbox and takes more time.
- If it is policy, keep the CC list as brief as possible.
- Unless you are handling sensitive legal documents, abandon the footer disclaimer.
- Keep your footer short with no images and best contact phone number.

So this salad is a powerhouse! The thing I love most about this salad is the colors. They are so vivid and beautiful, don't you agree?
Enjoy your day!

The Skype Lottery scams are the latest threat
Lottery scams have been around for as long as the players can remember and they grew at the same accelerated pace as genuine lottery providers. The vast majority of games are ran by straightforward rules, which demand players to buy a ticket and participate in a drawing in order to win a prize. Sweepstakes offer freebies but they still require players to enroll and this is the niche that the ones running the Skype Lottery scams and other deceits are trying to exploit.
How to identify the Skype Lottery scams
As the number of honest lotteries is on the rise online, cyber criminals know that the odds of sending scam e-mails to players are improving. They don't mind targeting people who have no interest in playing the lottery and never bought tickets, because what they claim to be offering has nothing to do with reality. Skype Lottery scams are a relatively new addition, although law enforcement agencies and veteran players remember that the original was launched several years ago.
One of the reasons for why the Skype Lottery scams have resurfaced is that the popularity of Skype is on the rise and more people know what the service stands for. Identifying the scam is fairly easy, because the entire operation begins with bogus e-mails that inform players about having their Skype account selected for a huge payout. They are provided with a fake winning reference and instructed to send this number to the claims agent on a specified e-mail. The odds of the recipient to be someone who has a Skype account is reasonable and the perpetrators count on the fact that a small fraction of receivers will respond.
No rest for the wicked
The next stage differs from case to case, but these cyber criminals have a somewhat similar modus operandi. Those who made the mistake of responding to the email and sent the reference code, are contacted by the scammers and asked for additional information. The first couple of e-mails are more or less harmless and they only try to gain the victims' trust, while the next messages demand access to private information, and even the submission of small amounts.
The wrongdoers explain the victim that the amounts are necessary for releasing the payout, and they consist mostly of bank fees and commissions. Once the payment is made, the victim is never let off the hook and if they get hold of his or her phone number, e-mails will be accompanied by phone calls and messages. They are relentless and keep pressuring them to send more money and in the worst cases, they even threatened them with legal consequences. By the time most victims ask the authorities for help, they had already lost a significant amount of money and went through tremendous stress.

Jesus has come to Jerusalem for a special Sabbath. Walking alone in meditation, he comes to Bethesda. Five porches were built around a pool for protection of the sick who flocked here because of superstition: It was believed an angel agitated the water in certain seasons--and the first person to enter was healed. (It must have been an evil angel mocking them and God? Many were trampled and made worse as everyone waiting rushed to get in--it was surely not God's idea.)
Looking around him, Jesus longs to heal every person in the place, but he knows and Ruach confirms that doing so on the Sabbath would cause such hatred that his life and ministry would end.
One man however, captures his heart. His suffering is the result of his own bad choices and is considered God's judgment. For this man, Ruach gives permission as he has no friends or family and for 38 years has been a cripple. A kind-hearted person leaves him at the pool each day, but someone stronger always enters before him. Disappointment is stealing his remaining strength.
He is lying on a rug at the edge of the water, when he sees a kind face bend over him.
"Would you like to be well?" Jesus asks.
Hope springs up and then quickly dies, "Sir, I have no one to help me, so someone always reaches the water before I can."
"Get up, pick up your bed and walk," says Jesus.
Can I do this? he wonders. Something in Jesus' face makes him try. And he does!
John 5:1-8

A teenager, who is already on remand, had two new criminal charges levelled against him today.
It is alleged that 18-year-old Diego Reyshan Wilson, of Spencer's Gap, Baxters Road, St Michael, engaged in unlawful and malicious conduct on December 16, 2016, which placed Jakeem Germain and Codi Agard in danger of death or serious bodily harm.
The accused was not required to plead to the indictable charges when he appeared before Magistrate Kristie Cuffy-Sargeant.
However, Sergeant Cameron Gibbons objected to bail based on the nature and seriousness of the charges and the fact that a firearm was used in the commission of the offences.
The prosecutor also pointed to the strength of the evidence against Wilson and the need to protect society.
"There is fear the accused may commit similar offences if released . . . . And he is also presently on a firearm charge in the No.1 District 'A' Magistrate's Court," Gibbons submitted.
Wilson was therefore remanded to Dodds until Wednesday when his attorney Kamisha Benjamin is expected to make an application for bail on his behalf.
