Hate It Or Love It: Kim Kardashian At The Fifi Awards
Looks like Kim Kardashian ditched her bronzer, and the other usual layers of makeup, for the Fifi Awards last night in NYC.
She slicked her hair back into a bun and rocked a long snug metallic gown on the red carpet. Do you think Kim looks better with less makeup?

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'automation' tag.
The Mail on Sunday recently reported that the Post Office is to cut queues by installing 'tap and go' payment systems in all its 11,500 branches by the end of the year. While this initiative is no great surprise given the long lines of people one almost always faces at the Post Office, it does make you wonder if we are heading towards a service industry where there will be little to no human interaction at all.
Already gone are the days where you check in with the receptionist at the surgery on arriving for your doctor's appointment. Instead, you face the challenge of fathoming the computerised check-in kiosks (which when you are feeling under the weather is no mean feat!). In fact, it is possible these days to do almost anything without actually speaking to a person whether it is checking in for a flight, cashing in a cheque or buying cinema tickets.
While this is all very well and good in some respects – being able to pay for your petrol at the pump or book train tickets online can be a great way of saving time and money – it does seem sad that these days we are having less and less human interaction.
Nowadays good customer service is less about a friendly chit chat with the nice lady scanning your groceries but more about efficiency. Consumers are not prepared to wait in a long queue or jump through endless hurdles to get what they want. They want to get in and out as quickly as possible. Ironically, staff are often needed to man self-service machinery as at times it can prove a challenge to operate – we have all been faced with the annoying 'unexpected item in bagging area' announcement when self-scanning at the supermarket!
The reality is that this type of technology is here to stay and set to grow. While companies and organisations will continue to employ people to man checkouts, Post Office kiosks and reception desks, they will also continue to look at ways of simplifying the service process, which will inevitably involve the use of technology. The onus is on us to ensure that good customer service continues to have a human element where possible, after all, however clever self service machinery is, the one thing it can't provide consumers with is a service with a smile!

Professional hockey will remain in downtown Hartford, at least for the next three years.
After weeks of high-level negotiations between Madison Square Garden Co. and Comcast Spectacor, a deal was reached Tuesday to keep the New York Rangers' American Hockey League affiliate at the XL Center. The lease extension runs through 2016, with a provision for two one-year extensions.
The team's name, a source of much consternation among fans, is expected to remain the same. The franchise has been known as the Connecticut Whale since early in the 2010-11 season, after 13 seasons as the Hartford Wolf Pack.
The team's lease at the XL Center expires after this season, and MSG, owner of the Rangers and the Whale, was unable to negotiate an extension because the Capital Region Development Authority was in the process of choosing a building operator. Earlier this month, the agency picked Global Spectrum, a subsidiary of Philadelphia-based Comcast Spectacor, over current operator AEG Management CT and a group led by Bushnell Management Services.
Although the Rangers own the team and cover expenses for salary, travel and uniforms, Global Spectrum will handle ticket sales, operation of premium suites, merchandise and marketing.
Michael Freimuth, executive director of CRDA, said that Global will pay MSG $1.4 million annually as an affiliation fee, which will come from ticket sales and other sources of revenue. The average AHL affiliation fee is about $1 million a year, a league source said.
Before Global Spectrum was awarded the contract, MSG investigated alternative markets for its AHL franchise. The Rangers looked into Glens Falls, N.Y., and had interest in Bridgeport's Webster Bank Arena, although the New York Islanders' AHL affiliate has a long-term lease with that building.
When Global Spectrum was chosen by the CRDA to run the XL Center and Rentschler Field, retaining an AHL team in the arena was cited as a priority. Global's business development chief, Glastonbury-based Frank E. Russo Jr., immediately vowed to secure a deal with MSG.
And in the past few weeks, executives in New York and Philadelphia hammered out an agreement to keep hockey in Hartford.
"The ability to secure a professional hockey team for Hartford was a major consideration in selecting Global Spectrum as the management team for the XL Center," Freimuth said in a statement. "The Whale is a great team and having Global at the helm means marketing opportunities that will bring more commerce and economic growth to Hartford. I thank MSG and Global for working so diligently to get this done."
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy was equally pleased.
"Hartford is a city of tremendous potential — deals like this one will bring more people downtown, help spur additional economic activity and reinvigorate our capital city," Malloy said in a statement. "Three more years — and maybe more — of Whale hockey is great news for Connecticut fans, this one included."
The challenge for Global Spectrum will be boosting attendance, which has steadily declined. The franchise was third in attendance in the AHL in 1997-98 and 1998-99, and the team averaged more than 5,000 a game in each of its first nine seasons.
But with the exception of 2010-11 — when attendance was boosted by the rebranding — the franchise has drawn fewer fans in recent years. This season, the Whale (4,359 a game) are 23rd in the 30-team AHL in attendance.
Still, city and state officials have cited the AHL as a critical component to downtown Hartford. According to the CRDA, the Whale attract an estimated 140,000 people to the city in the course of their season.
Professional hockey first came to Hartford in 1975 when the New England Whalers of the World Hockey Association moved from Boston to the newly constructed Hartford Civic Center. The team played in Springfield after the Civic Center's roof collapsed in January 1978, returning to Hartford as an NHL franchise with a renovated, larger home in 1980.
The NHL Whalers remained at the Civic Center until 1997, when owner Peter Karmanos moved the franchise to North Carolina. The Rangers subsequently moved their AHL affiliate from Binghamton, N.Y., to Hartford. The team was known as the Hartford Wolf Pack and was managed by MSG, which also operated the Civic Center.
Management of the arena shifted to Northland AEG in 2007, and the team's local operation was managed by that company until 2010, when a company led by Whalers' founder Howard Baldwin took over the business and marketing operation.
Whalers Sports & Entertainment rebranded the Wolf Pack as the Connecticut Whale, changing the logo while embracing Hartford's hockey history. Attendance rose as Whalers Sports & Entertainment brought former Whalers back for special events, but the company ran into financial problems after staging an outdoor hockey event at Rentschler Field.
Last summer, MSG took the day-to-day operation of the team away from Baldwin's company and AEG took control of the team.

2010 has gone by, welcome 2011. What was a year to fear for businesses has held its promises. The Czech Republic has swung full speed into the crisis, although many people, including top managers, have long believed it would escape harmless from the world's disorders. As a result, employment has plummeted, private consumption went down and many small businesses went bust.
So is the worst behind us? In one way, yes. The GDP of Germany, the largest export market for Czech products, is up and foreign direct investments are coming back. But the reality is far more complex. Car export sales and related equipment manufacturing make up more than 20 percent of the Czech GDP, and an increase of private consumption will be critical to any domestic recovery. So is the worst behind us? In one way, yes.
The new right-leaning governing coalition's planned budget cuts, although welcomed with strong protestations, appear inevitable in order to keep the country's finances on track. So these austerity measures will certainly impact the spending mood of the Czech consumers. Add to this that less than 25 percent of the European funds marked for the Czech Republic are effectively used, and you can guess that for some sectors — such as heavy equipment, building and civil engineering companies and, of course, retail — 2011 might still be rocky.
So let's plan for the worst and hope for the best.
After all, the level of debt — both private and public — is still remarkably low and very few consumers have loans denominated in foreign currencies (such as euros or Swiss francs), as people do in Hungary or in Poland. The Czech crown is strong and might appreciate even a little. Cautiousness is the key, but the foundations are solid. And the melting snow might warm up the consumers spending mood. ...
Being in charge of a Czech subsidiary of a foreign-owned company, the biggest threat for me would be that Czech Republic disappears from the radar screen of the Paris headquarters. The country is small and the potential market is somehow limited; if 2011 does not show a clear recovery, it might be difficult to justify and push for further investment in the country. What has made Central and Eastern Europe sexy so far was the remarkable and constant double-digit growth.
What has made Central and Eastern Europe sexy so far was the remarkable and constant double-digit growth we enjoyed since the '90s. Should this slow down, then we will be just another developed market the size of Belgium or Portugal. So the answer is clear: make our offer attractive, innovate with products, introduce new services.
Czech consumers still have a lot of needs, and their disposable income will allow them to improve their living standards. We just have to remember that their wishes are different and must be understood. More positive visibility for this country will be critical, and the coming trips of Prime Minister Nečas to the west (including Paris next week) will certainly help!

2014 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG spy shots
As its name suggests, the GLA45 AMG is the performance version of the upcoming 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLA Class, which is expected to be revealed at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show in September.
The GLA is essentially a tall-riding A Class hatchback, though it benefits from a slightly longer wheelbase that also features on the 2014 CLA Class four-door coupe.
The GLA45 AMG version will benefit from a number of AMG enhancements, including a potent 2.0-liter turbo four.
This engine made its debut in the A45 AMG at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, and has since appeared in the new CLA45 AMG revealed at the 2013 New York Auto Show. It will deliver at least 355 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque in the GLA45 AMG, and will send power to all four wheels via an AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Performance of the GLA45 AMG should be scintillating, as you'd expect from any vehicle wearing the AMG badge. The 0-60 mph time should come in at about 5.0 seconds.
To ensure the thing also handles well, engineers will be adding custom sports suspension with independently developed front and rear axles, as well as electromechanical AMG speed-sensitive steering.
We know this is the AMG version of the GLA due to the prototype's dual-exhaust tips, perforated brake discs, AMG-style alloys, and enlarged intakes up front. Additionally, the intake on the right-hand side of the front bumper has been left unmasked in some of the shots, presumably to feed air to the turbocharger's intercooler.
While the U.S. missed out on the new A Class, the CLA Class and its AMG variant have already landed, and soon the GLA Class plus this GLA45 AMG will be arriving as well. Pricing should start at around the $50k mark.

Napa Valley Vintners Files Brief with U.S. Supreme Court To Defend Truth in Labeling
2/14/2005 - St. Helena, Calif. - Napa Valley Vintners (NVV) today filed a brief with the United States Supreme Court to defend its Napa Name law. The document was filed in response to Bronco Wine Company's petition requesting that the U.S. Supreme Court overturn a decision handed down by the California Supreme Court in favor of the NVV.
At issue is whether the state law is preempted by federal law. The California law states that a wine with the word Napa in its brand must have Napa grapes in the bottle. The case was originally heard by the Ninth Circuit Court in San Francisco where three justices sided with Bronco. The NVV and the State appealed that ruling to the California Supreme Court and the Court ruled in favor of the NVV that the state law was not preempted.
"The Napa Valley Vintners remain totally committed to defending our position, the basis of which is simple: Consumers understand that food - and wine in particular - is very much a product of the place where it's grown," says Linda Reiff, executive director
of the Napa Valley Vintners. "Washington apples, Florida oranges, Napa Valley wine -- if you can't rely on a label to clearly tell you where your food, or in this case, wine is from, then you don't know what you are buying. It's a matter of consumer protection. Place names imply unique qualities and characteristics. The bottom line is that a wine label shouldn't suggest the grapes come from Napa unless they really do."
The NVV stands by the ruling of the California Supreme Court that the state law is not preempted by federal law and is ready to defend the law on the remaining three issues with the California Court of Appeal: free speech, interstate commerce, takings. The U.S. Supreme Court will likely decide whether to hear the case within 60 days.
The Napa Valley Vintners is a professional nonprofit trade organization. Its 263 member vintners are committed to the future of Napa Valley through the preservation and enhancement of its land, wine and community.

B.C.'s newly minted finance minister Mike de Jong elicited cheers and tears of joy on Tuesday after announcing more than $200,000 in surprise funding to save the Warm Zone, a drop-in centre serving Abbotsford's marginalized women.
The Abbotsford West MLA was somewhat surprised to find himself at the end of a receiving line of the centre's supporters who crowded in to give him hugs.
Warm Zone outreach worker Erica Thomson burst into tears in his arms.
"I'm not used to this," de Jong said, after committing $208,000 in one-time funding to the Women's Resource Society of the Fraser Valley, which operates the Warm Zone.
The centre, providing a refuge and multiple services to street-entrenched women, was on the verge of closing due to lack of funds after federal support for the three-year pilot project ran out in the spring.
Warm Zone co-coordinator Michele Giordano was overwhelmed.
"I'm elated! It's a pinch-me moment. I'm still getting goose bumps just thinking about it," said Giordano.
"[The funding] is going to saves women's lives and speaks to the support we have in the community."
De Jong agreed that the level of support the Warm Zone enjoys in Abbotsford made it easier for him to advocate for the centre.
"It saves lives and changes lives, and in the process makes our community a better place," he said of the drop-in centre.
He pointed to the example of one woman who recently walked into the Warm Zone and made an anonymous donation of $10,000.
"I hope they feel good about what they did because it kept the Warm Zone open until [the province] could find the funding," de Jong said.
However, the finance minister said the centre will have to continue to build upon its relationships with the community to secure stable funding in the future.
"At the end of the day [the Warm Zone] team understands it needs to undertake local fundraising efforts to minimize dependence on taxpayers' dollars," he said.
The Warm Zone, located across the street from Jubilee Park in downtown Abbotsford, provides at-risk women with basic necessities such as showers, laundry facilities, clothing and personal care items, Internet, a telephone and hot meals.
It also provides access to counsellors, medical and legal services, HIV prevention, clean needles and help in obtaining emergency and stable housing.
Giordano said the next critical step is to find the Warm Zone a new location as its lease is running out.
The community could be sure that every dollar of the new funding would benefit Abbotsford's vulnerable women, she said.
Brigitte Morelli can verify that claim and did so after taking the opportunity to thank de Jong.
"I was on the street," said Morelli.
"I had no money. I was addicted and they offered me shelter."

Welcome to Major Spoilers: Rules of the Forums
October 05, 2006, 08:55:00 PM »
Welcome to the Major Spoilers forum. We're very happy to add this new feature for fans of comics and pop culture.
Remember access to our forums is a privilege and not a right. These rules are non-negotiable and are enforced by all moderators and administrators.
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind (
updated January 1, 2011
1) Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
2) No threats to the site will be tolerated, and will result in an immediate ban.
3) No bigoted remarks will be tolerated, be they racial, religious, or otherwise. (3rd offense will result in a temporary ban. After that, a permanent ban.)
4) No nudity, be it in a linked picture, posted picture, linked website, or avatar.
5) No images in signatures. If you have an image in your signature, 2 PMs will be sent asking you to remove it. If it isn't done, it will be removed (image only, anything else in sig will be left as is).
6) No flaming. Name calling based on someone's beliefs, religious, political or otherwise will not be tolerated. This will boil down to the judgement of the moderators, not the intention of the post.
7) No post whoring. Posts must contain content (in other words, no one word posts or just smilies). Those that do not, will be edited or deleted. This includes "Woohoo! first post!" comments.
8 ) No thread jacking. Intentional mis-direction of thread topics will be deleted.
9) No SPAM. SPAM will be edited or deleted and promptly locked.
10) The locking, editing and deleting of threads and posts is up to the discretion of the moderators and administrators.
Love it or shove it.
11) No EXCESSIVE "l33t sp34k." Also, no "Grammar Nazis." Do not criticize for misspelled words or improper grammar usage. Similarly, please try to be as proper as possible when typing.
12) All personal information posted in the public forums will be edited by the mods for security reasons. Just don't post it. That's what PMs are for.
13) Explain posted links. Please don't post a link with just 'Have Fun!'. Let everyone know what the link is for, and if it's safe for work.
14) No double posts. If you have something to add after completing your post, please hit the 'edit' button at the bottom of your post. Double posts will be merged, and multiple occurrences will warrant a PM.
15) Put threads in their proper forum. We have all these forums for a reason, folks. Please use them.
15) Harassment via Public Posting or Private Messages will not be tolerated. What constitutes as "harassment" will be interpreted by the Moderators.
17) No copying and pasting of stories from other sites or sources. You may highlight a particular comment or statement, but copying and pasting complete articles is forbidden. First offense will result in the post being changed, and a warning given. Subsequent breaking of this rule may lead to forum banning.
18) Major Spoilers will not allow posts that contain slander or libelous remarks. These posts will be deleted, and may be cause for banishment.
19) All forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to censure, warning, temporary ban (suspension) or permanent banning.
20) The opinions expressed by those on the forums are entirely those of the poster, and do not represent the thoughts or views of Major Spoilers, unless they are from the Moderators and Administrators of Major Spoilers.
21) Major Spoilers will not be held accountable in any Intellectual Property lawsuits if someone else steals your ideas. Be careful what you post and what IP information you share.
22) Posting on the forums does not make you a recognized contributor to Major Spoilers. The only people in charge of decision making are the administrators of the Major Spoilers site. You are not allowed to approach a vendor or publisher and solicit free content and claim that you are writing a review for anything related to Major Spoilers (website, forum, podcast, social network, and so on). You are not allowed to speak on behalf of Major Spoilers or the Major Spoilers Experience without express written permission from the owner of the site.
Implying in anyway to anyone that you represent, speak for, or have permission to do anything in the name of Major Spoilers will result in a written warning, followed by a permanent ban from the site, and possible legal action.
23) If you see a forum board you would like added, simply contact Stephen or Rodrigo.
24) Rules subject to change at the discretion of the Mods.
25) Permanent bans are a last resort and thought is given before implementing them. While we may consider lifting permanent bans from time to time this is a rare occurrence.
26) Finally, we are all here to have fun. Please remember this when posting.
Other than that, enjoy and have fun.

Trout Unlimited Commends Findings Detailed in America's Great Outdoors Report
Arlington, Va. - Trout Unlimited (TU) lauded the findings in America's Great Outdoors report, released yesterday at the White House by President Obama and members of his Administration.
The report, "America's Great Outdoors: A Promise to Future Generations," is meant to be a blueprint for the nation, to encourage greater engagement of youth in outdoor recreation and conservation work and to increase landscape scale cooperative conservation efforts involving communities and conservation groups like TU.
"TU appreciates the great efforts made by the Administration to engage the nation in an inclusive public discussion about the challenges we face to our fish and wildlife resources, and to the future of America's outdoor heritage," said Chris Wood, Trout Unlimited's President and CEO. "We are pleased that the report features many of the approaches that TU volunteers and staff are using every day to rise to the challenge: educating youth and getting involved in on the ground stream restoration and community-based, landscape-scale watershed restoration partnerships," Wood said.
Several TU projects are mentioned in the report as successful models of conservation, including:
The report includes the following recommendations:
"The President and his Administration listened to Americans and developed a good plan," said Wood. "Now we must convince that same Administration, Congress, and decision-makers across the land that these ideas are worth the investment and effort needed to make them a reality," he said.
The report was drawn from more than 50 public listening sessions held across the country since last April that drew more than 10,000 participants and 105,000 comments.
The report can be found at http://americasgreatoutdoors.gov/report/
Trout Unlimited is the nation's largest coldwater conservation organization, with 140,000 members dedicated to conserving, protecting, and restoring North America's trout and salmon fisheries and their watersheds.

Performance Evaluation of Stochastic Algorithms for Linear Antenna Arrays Synthesis Under Constrained Conditions
Source: Cyber Journals
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a high performance optimization technique recently introduced to solve antenna array synthesis problems to handle multiple degrees of freedom. An important problem facing the user of PSO is its parameters selection, as well as an efficient scheme to improve the optimization process. This paper proposes the use of a global asynchronous PSO update scheme in the synthesis of linear antenna arrays to solve the complex design restrictions imposed by a constrained mask. It is shown that PSO is more efficient than the well-known method of Genetic Algorithms (GA) even under constrained conditions, in terms of simplicity and computational burden.

Easy Christianity Samuel Waldron
Not buying it. More "I have to damn someone to feel secure in my salvation" Christianity. I know some people need the fear that they aren't saved but I'm not gonna live in constant doubt that I'm not saved. If the Creator sits outside of time and space (3rd and 4th dimension) then its pretty easy for Yah to form a perfect plan of reconciliation of ALL creation (which is in the Bible). Yes, there are scriptures to the contrary, both exist simultaneously because the Holy Spirit need both polarities to work in different people lives for the Ultimate plan. God's plan from "Alpha to Omega" does not tamper with the freewill choices of every person who has ever lived, just accounts for them.
Blessings in disagreement,
Thanks for stopping by and for sharing your thoughts.
Respectfully, I don't quite fully understand your comments.
I took this quote that I published in a completely different way. In fact, I didn't see it as an example of how we shouldn't feel "eternally secure", but as a reminder that SANCTIFICATION is an indication that a person is truly saved. The thought that we can merely accept Jesus Christ through faith, and by uttering a 60-second prayer, and then sin like the devil from Monday-Saturday after attending church on Sundays is a deceptive form of Christianity.
The Gospel is life-saving and life-changing, right? Anyway, maybe I missed understood what you were trying to say with your comments, and if so, then I apologize.
Either way, thanks again for stopping by and for writing. God bless you!
Saved By Grace Through Faith,
Jeff (JRed)
I just took a moment to visit your website.
Admittedly, I have to spend more time looking into your claims before I can offer a definitive comment one way or another because what I quickly read was shocking.
No Hell? No eternal punishment? Everyone will be saved -- no matter what? Really?
Now, it is I who must STRONGLY -- not respectfully -- disagree with that kind of assessment of the Word of God and of the Salvation Gospel.
My friend, there are so many different angles I could approach this with you that it's difficult to decide where to begin. If you say that the doctrine of Hell is false, then I'm curious what you think about the doctrine of Election/Divine Election, which would seem to stand in DIRECT OPPOSITION to your thesis here.
Please consider these:
Praying for you.
Jeff (JRed)
The Christian walk is not easy. This quote is speaking in regards to Jesus' teaching that we should carry our cross daily. The whole road to Golgotha, Jesus carried a cross, after being beaten, whipped, having his beard pulled out, and more. That's what this is saying. You are right about this though, "God's plan from "Alpha to Omega" does not tamper with the freewill choices of every person who has ever lived, just accounts for them."
Thank you for your prayers and extensive work, JRED. You are a great defender and proponent of the faith. The web site that you glanced at is not mine. I merely forwarded it because I feel it is the most comprehensive overview of Biblical universalism.
As for no hell and no eternal punishment, I won't go there either because we could throw scriptures and Hebrew/Greek etymology at each other for years. What I will say about "election" is that in Yah's plan for the ages, election deals with those "called" in this age. Those who are "especially saved" as referenced in 1 Tim. 4:10
Sorry for misinterpreting your intention and yes, I agree with you that we can not be comfortable because sanctification IS part of the refining fire/divine alchemy.
Respectfully and strongly in theological opposition,
"If you've been told that you can have Christ as Savior without having Him as Lord...", never heard that one before. Not possible of course. Nor have I heard "that salvation is as easy as ABC". "...if you were assured that a momentary decision would save your soul, you've been taught 'Easy-Believism'. If you think that such believing will save you, you are deceived!" Whoa... hold on here. Isn't asking Jesus into your heart and life a momentary decision? I mean Jesus didn't say you need to do a special dance, or light a candle or anything else, right? Of course one would have to take this decision with serious contemplation, not just some incantation.
Jeff, you said "SANCTIFICATION is an indication that a person is truly saved". By who's discretion? Define sanctification. Is this not a state of being between ourselves and God? Yes, it is. Life-changing? I would hope so. Then you say, "sin like the devil from Monday-Saturday after attending church" is a form of deceptive Christianity. So, out of curiosity, how much sin can we do before it is labeled "sin like the devil"? Twenty, one hundred...? I am not advocating sin of course, but isn't one sin as bad as a million? To God?
No offense, but this statement is somewhat askew and attempts to say that asking Jesus into your heart and life and accepting him is not enough. Can you clarify this?
I believe the moment I asked Jesus into my life with all my heart, all my mind, all my soul and all my strength, he separated me from the goats right then and there. Do I have to repeat this process every time my sinful nature exposes its ugly self? I should hope not. I for one can not walk the face of this planet without, in one way or another, doing something that is sinful. Every time I start my car I am poisoning the world. I don't wish to sin, but unfortunately it comes with the territory. Of course I don't go out of my way to sin, but nonetheless I do and so do you.
We can not add to Jesus' saving grace with conditions he himself did not add. I do agree that if a person is truly saved, they will on an everyday hour by hour, moment by moment basis live in a personal relationship with God. But will they necessarily have him up front and center in every thought and movement? As wonderful as that would be not everyone can do that. Are there sins we do not recognize or perhaps some think one thing is a sin while another does not? Such as playing a musical instrument in a church? Does that disqualify them? There being more to Jesus' saving grace than simply believing is naive.
Just saying...
Please allow me to clarify my comments because you make some GREAT points and I can see how they may have been misinterpreted.
First, on the whole "ask Jesus into your heart" concept:
Bottom line, there's nothing Biblical about that. There is not one verse that tells us to "ask Jesus into our hearts" in order to be saved.
As far as Sanctification is concerned, isn't evidence of the Holy Spirit's sanctifying work in a person's life CLEAR EVIDENCE that they have truly made Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior of their life, rather than simply believing and that's it? I mean, evil Satan and his minions believe in Jesus, right?
I'm not trying to be a "smart @$$" here, and I don't think it's a case of "just semantics" either.
You're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT too about how sin is sin, and my use of the phrase "sin like the devil from Monday-Saturday" was probably misused in my attempt to emphasize the point I was trying to make.
I agree that it's NOT about "repeating" the process so-to-speak, but about simply HUMBLING YOURSELF AND REPENTING each and every time you and I do commit a sin. Yes, as God's sanctifying work continues in our lives from now until our last, dying breath we may sin less and less (evidence of His sanctifying work perhaps?), but we will never stop being sinners so repentance when we trip and fall is key I think.
Anyway, I hope that answers your questions. My reason for posting this quote was to point out how I feel that far too many "Christians" are merely "Christian In Name Only", as there's NO EVIDENCE that the life-saving, and life-changing decision they made actually changed their life.
God Bless You,

John 6:35-40
35 Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
I really don't think that Jesus would say "oh well, you came to me and believed in me, but you asked me into your heart...sorry".
I'll take Jesus words over anyone else's anyday.
I agree with Jeff, there is no such thing as "asking Jesus into your heart". What there is from everyone in the New Testament is:
Mat 3:2 NIV - and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
Mat 4:17 NIV - From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
Mat 11:20 NIV - Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
Mar 1:15 NIV - "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"
Mar 6:12 NIV - They went out and preached that people should repent.
Luk 13:3 NIV - I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
Luk 15:7 NIV - I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Luk 16:30 NIV - " 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'
Act 2:38 NIV - Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Act 3:19 NIV - Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
Act 17:30 NIV - In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
Act 26:20 NIV - First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds.
Rev 3:3 NIV - Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
Rev 3:19 NIV - Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.
Galatians 4:6-7
6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father." 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
Ephesians 3:16-17
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love...
Romans 10:8-10
8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
The term 'Easy-Believism' isn't in the Bible either.
You said, "Bottom line, there's nothing Biblical about that. There is not one verse that tells us to "ask Jesus into our hearts" in order to be saved."
Are you sure about that? When King Solomon says in 1 Kings 8:39 "then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive and act; deal with each man according to all he does, since you know his heart (for you alone know the hearts of all men)" What does that mean, he alone knows us in our hearts?
It may be our mind/mouth we use to say we believe, but it is with our hearts that God knows what we truly believe. What a man says and speaks means nothing to God as what he has and says with his heart. When a person believes in Jesus to be the Son of God and accepts/receives this in his heart, God knows this. A man can fool others with his mouth and even himself with his mind, but he can't fool God. Neither can Satan who also believes, but does not receive.
The Scripture is jammed full with what the heart is all about. Even Mark 2:8 says "Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, "Why are you thinking these things?"" So we see here we "think with our hearts".
You said, "As far as Sanctification is concerned, isn't evidence of the Holy Spirit's sanctifying work in a person's life CLEAR EVIDENCE that they have truly made Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior of their life, rather than simply believing and that's it?"
What is sanctifying work? The moment I "believed" in my heart, I did not need nor require any evidence that I had been saved. But I knew without a doubt "I" was sanctified! In John 17:19 Jesus said, "For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified." This means set aside or separated from the rest. There are many out there who "think" they are doing the work of the Holy Spirit, but are only doing "their" work. And you know we are not saved by any work!
Again, what is this sanctifying work? Did Jesus say believe on me, but you aren't truly saved unless the Holy Spirit does some sanctifying work through you? What does it mean in John 1:12 "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—" I see nothing there about getting some sort of evidence or doing some sort of work by the Holy Spirit. And what about all that time between Jesus' resurrection and when the bible became available to common man long after 1550 CE? For over 1500 years mankind did not have any other instructions other than to receive him and believe in his name. Scripture does not save, the Good News, the Gospel--Jesus saves.
(Part 2 follows)
You said, "I agree that it's NOT about "repeating" the process so-to-speak, but about simply HUMBLING YOURSELF AND REPENTING each and every time you and I do commit a sin."
What about sins we don't know about? Even the Jews had sacrifices for unintentional unknown sins. Let me say this, I believe I am saved simply because I believe with all my heart and every time I come to the Lord with praise or petition I ask for his forgiveness because I know I've sinned even if I cannot identify it. (Of course if know I've committed a sin, I seek immediate forgiveness, but this is because of my shame). He knows what sins I've committed against him even if I don't, but with all humbleness I seek his forgiveness. And through his promise he forgives and forgets!
Isaiah 59:2 warns us not to allow sin to become a wall or veil between you and God, so he can hear your prayer: "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear." (The Hebrew word for hear is shama` [shä•mah'] also means listen). It is not that God can't hear the sinner, but that he won't listen to the sinner. He will certainly hear you confess your sins and ask for His forgiveness, so you can be in right standing with Him. And this you should do every time you "call" home.
You said, "My reason for posting this quote was to point out how I feel that far too many "Christians" are merely "Christian In Name Only"."
This is true. Even Scripture points this out. But, what is that to us? They have the same information we do. Either they believe with their heart or they don't. This is not rocket science. No amount my explaining it to them is going to make a difference. It is the easiest thing to understand. If I slap you upside your head, will you believe I did it? Jesus is real and is the Son of God and died to remove our sins. All you have to do is believe it or better still, want to believe it. That too is key: want. You do have to want it. No one seeks what they don't want.
Lastly, you said, "..as there's NO EVIDENCE that the life-saving, and life-changing decision they made actually changed their life."
By who's measurement? Does God ask you who is saved and who isn't? This sounds to me as if you are the one looking for this "evidence". That is between them and God. If you tell me you are saved, but by "our" relationship I have some doubts, I can come to you with these doubts and talk with you. Maybe point out some things and you can maybe set me straight on my own misunderstandings and together we help each other. But, if you say you are saved, who am I to call you out?
Thanks for listening and being here. I learn every time I talk about my Godly family.

Seagate's 6Gbps desktop hard drive now available
Six months after showing off the demo, Seagate announced Monday that it is now shipping what it says is the word's first 3.5-inch 6Gbps 2TB hard drive.
The drive is based on the third generation of the Serial ATA (SATA) standard, roughly called SATA3. The majority of existing hard drives use the SATA2 standard that caps at 3Gbps. Theoretically, the new 6Gbps standard's throughput could be fast enough to transfer the entire contents of a CD (about 800MB) in just one second.
The new hard drive is called Barracuda XT, and it belongs to the company's … Read more

McDonald's Helps Strengthen Families with New National Fundraiser Benefiting RMHC
The time we share with family, friends and those that are close will forever be in our hearts. And at RMHC, we know families are stronger when they are together… and that children heal faster and cope better when they share time with family. To help over four million children stay close to their families during difficult times every year, we rely on the generous donations of corporate donors, like McDonald's, and their customers.
For 36 years, RMHC has been McDonald's "Charity of Choice." McDonald's is the system's largest corporate donor, and as part of its ongoing commitment to RMHC, a new national fundraiser was launched this summer in support of our mission to improve the health and well being of children. McDonald's restaurants donate a portion of proceeds from every Happy Meal® and Mighty Kids Meal® sold in the U.S. to RMHC – benefitting thousands of sick children and their families who rely on our programs. This fundraiser is promoted in-store, at the drive-thru, and supported by national advertising on TV, radio, print, and online channels.
With this fundraiser, and in celebration of family togetherness, an online campaign, "Family Time. Happy Time." also was launched to encourage families to pledge minutes of "happy time" together and share their activities with other families through McDonald's Facebook page. For every minute of family time pledged, McDonald's will donate one penny with the goal of reaching 1 million minutes and $10,000 to RMHC. "Bringing families together, encouraging them to share fun times and giving back to the community have always been important values to McDonald's. The new national fundraiser and the online campaign will give our customers even more chances to support RMHC and its programs," said Jan Fields, President, McDonald's USA, LLC. "At McDonald's, we are so proud that through RMHC we have been able to serve countless families when they needed help the most."
In addition to purchasing a Happy Meal or Mighty Kids Meal, or pledging family time through the online program, customers can also drop change in a RMHC Donation Box at participating McDonald's restaurants. They can also support McDonald's annual "Give A Hand®" fundraiser from November 10 – 20, culminating on November 20 with a worldwide celebration, McHappy Day. Since 2002, McDonald's has raised $170 million for RMHC and other children's charities around the world. This shows how a little goes along way, and how small gestures add up to make a big difference for families in need. Through monetary gifts, in-kind donations and volunteerism, McDonald's helps RMHC strengthen families during the most difficult time of their life.

8. | Packers | ||
An NFL team located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Their division is the NFC North. They have won three Super Bowls. Their current quarterback is Brett FAVRE (correct spelling). The Packers play the Broncos this weekend.
1. | Packers | ||
Only publicly owned team in the NFL or AFC, therefore the Peoples Team! Since all other teams are owned by rich assholes no other team in all American football can claim the same. Green Bay Packers, 2011 Super Bowl Champions!!
When the Packers win America's People win! God and Jesus Christ love the Packers! The Packers have repaired the time space continuum! The Packers colors are Green,Gold and Blaze Orange! Packer football is the Supreme Diversion! If you're not with the Packers you're with the Terrorists! |
2. | packers | ||
the cheeseheads! a consistant playoff football team. proof that the salary cap/revenue sharing works, cause the play in a small market The Packers have Favre
3. | Packers | ||
A football franchise that is maintained by the city they are from.
Now that's pride. The Green Bay Packers are one of the best NFL franchises around.
4. | Packers | ||
A great team created in the early 20's. Have 12 straight winning seasons. Must I remind you that Favre has been with the Packers all those 12 seasons. People say the Cowboys are America's team, no offense, but I see more Packers fans than I do Cowboy fans. Therefore.... THE PACKERS ARE AMERICA'S TEAM. GO PACK GO! The Packers find a way to win, even when they are trailing by two touchdowns in the 4th qaurter.
5. | packers | ||
A team that Vikings, Bears and Lions fans claim "lives in the past". Let's face it, the only reason you guys don't brag about your past is because you know it's not as good as ours. 12x champs, have fun trying to catch up. Vikings and fans are jealous of the Packers success, and the fact that Favre owns any player to ever wear one of their teams' jerseys. Lions fans usually aren't as bad though.
6. | Packers | ||
the packers are one of the best and consistant teams in the nfl. im just sick and tired of all the haters out there that say that they suck and they always choke. they actually have won more championships than any other team, and they have won more super bowls than most other the teams in the nfl. and for you people who say they always choke. ryan longwell has kicked 4 game winning field goals so far this season hey look, the packers made the playoffs again
7. | packers | ||
A cheesehead NFL football team, who have the WORST fans ever! The packers are also known to have ugly uniforms that resemble puke and snot mixed together. All fans of the cheeseheads love their caveman era quarterback, Brett Favre, who needs to get a hint and retire.
Alternate names: Green Gay slackers, fudge packers, cheeseheads. What do the packers and purcupines have in common?
They both have pricks. |
