12 December 2013, Accra, Ghana - During the week of 9 December 2013, the "GEF/UNITAR/UNDP/EPA-Ghana Project on Capacity Building for the Elimination of PCBs in Ghana" entered its final key phase. In particular, the 10th session of the Project Steering Committee (PSC) convened on 12 December 2013 and adopted a number of key decisions:
- Acknowledging that 2014 is pivotal for the project since the key project milestone (disposal of the hazardous substances) will be achieved. All PSC members restated their commitment to the project and pledged their full support and cooperation to ensure the successful completion of the project by December 2014.
- Reaffirming its decision to undertake a single national disposal operation that includes PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), but also obsolete pesticides with POPs characteristics and ozone depleting substances (ODS) as a way to save costs and time, as well as promote synergies.
- Agreeing on the exact quantities and characterization of wastes that will constitute the single national disposal operation i.e. 54 metric tonnes of PCB contaminated wastes including PCB contaminated soils, 70 metric tonnes of obsolete pesticides with POPs characteristics, and 6 metric tonnes of ozone depleting substances.
- Noting the need for the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to still collect oil from about 31 transformers that have tested positive and store it at the temporary PCB storage facility in Tema.
- Directing ECG to jointly work with the Secretariat and ensure that all PCB contaminated transformers from all the regions are drained of oil estimated at 10 metric tonnes, collected and safely stored at the temporary PCB storage facility in Tema by 28 February, 2014.
- Instructing the Secretariat to ensure that all key project deliverables are well documented and stored for easy retrieval and further monitoring, as well as confirming that project tools (such as the national PCB management plans and PCB management guidelines) are being used by the intended recipients.
- Agreeing on the detailed work plan for 2014 and instructing the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) team to ensure that that all successes from the project are evaluated through bench marking against the baseline and that results are accurately recorded and reported.
The process for the procurement of the PCB disposal services is nearing completion. Disposal activities to rid Ghana of these harmful substances are expected to commence in the first half of 2014.
This project is executed nationally by the Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (Ghana EPA) and internationally by UNITAR, with support of UNDP and financing of the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

Islambad, Dec 7: A Pakistan high court Friday expressed its inability to convict President Asif Ali Zardari for contempt of court despite his defying its order in a case related to his holding of dual offices, citing the presidential immunity he enjoys.
During Friday's hearing of the contempt of court petition over the president's holding of dual office, Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial said although the court could convict anyone for committing contempt of court, the fact remained that the president enjoyed immunity under Article 248(2) of the Constitution, Dawn reported.
The LHC was hearing a contempt of court petition against President Zardari for not relinquishing political office in the light of a judgment passed by the LHC last year.
The petitioner's counsel, A.K. Dogar, said the high courts and the supreme court could convict an offender for committing contempt of court.
The counsel questioned the concept of presidential immunity, asking what might have happened if the president was to murder someone.
The petitioner said that if the president was not convicted and sentenced for committing contempt of court, the concept of an independent judiciary would cease to exist.
On this, the court bench stated that although the head of state was not answerable to anyone, the president was still bound to respect and follow judicial orders.
On Sep 5, the bench had issued a fresh notice to President Zardari and sought a reply to the petition pleading contempt proceedings against him for not abiding the court's order to relinquish his political office.
Zardari is co-chairman of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardri is the party's chairman.
The petition had accused President Zardari of indulging in political activities in the presidency. It stated that the president had neither disassociated himself from the political office nor had he stopped 'misusing' the President House despite a verdict by the Lahore High Court's full bench against his holding dual office.

We return tonight to the study of the book of Revelation. I just maybe could for a moment remind you folks that most people in the Christian world never study the book of Revelation. Most preachers never preach on the book of Revelation. Most commentators never write on the book of Revelation. So most people don't understand the book of Revelation. And that is sad. Particularly is that sad when at the very outset of Revelation in verse 3 of chapter 1 it said, "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy and heed the things which are written in it for the time is near."
People who don't study diligently and understand the book of Revelation forfeit a blessing that is poured out by God on those who grasp this truth in the light of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. And if ever there was a generation then who needed to read this, it is that generation which is nearest to the return of Christ. It's a sad thing to say but it's so true today that the book of Revelation is ignored on most fronts. People do not have interest in the book of Revelation. They're not looking at the future, they're trying to suck everything they can out of the present as if this was all there really was to concern them.
But the book of Revelation is a tremendous, profound statement on the return of Jesus Christ, the truth of which should be comprehended as much as possible by every believer. Of course there are things in the book of Revelation that are mysterious to us and incomprehensible, of course there are things that we cannot fully understand, no more than the prophet of the Old Testament wrote down his prophecy about the Messiah and could only partly understand its fulfillment because he was looking into a future and not being able to experience its fulfillment himself.
In all of prophetic literature that is yet unfulfilled there are certain things which are incomprehensible to us and difficult to interpret. And to be honest with you, the timing of these events is the most difficult thing of all, trying to put everything in a neat order, trying to line it all up in perfect chronology, trying to fix the time of all events in relation to all other events is a very challenging thing. But that's not the main thing. The main thing is to get the sweeping reality that in the future God is going to judge the world by that Man, the Lord Jesus Christ whom He has ordained and that He raised Him from the dead and that judgment is imminent, that judgment is coming, it is on the horizon. All of the events associated with that judgment are given in the book of Revelation. And then following that great judgment on the living in the world is the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, and at the end of the Kingdom comes the Great White Throne Judgment, or the final judgment. And we're already at that point in the book of Revelation where we're into the final and last judgment. It's in chapter 20 verses 11 to 15, we're going back to that text for the second time tonight. We did it last Sunday night and I want you to see the great reality that is here given to us. We return to the most sobering and serious scene in all of the Bible because the Great White Throne Judgment is man's last day in God's court. It is the day in which all sinners who have ever lived in the history of the world will be sent to eternal hell.
Let me read the text to you again. Verse 11 is the beginning of it. "I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne and books were opened, and then another book was opened which is the book of life. And the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books according to their deeds. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them, and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire, and if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
This is God's final judgment and I want to emphasize tonight very strongly that this is a very just judgment. It is a just judgment. It is a just judgment because God is just. Deuteronomy 32:4 says of God, "Just and right is He." In Job 37 verses 23 and 24 we read, "The Almighty, we cannot find Him out, He is exalted in power and He will not do violence to justice." God does not do violence to justice. He is just, therefore it says in that passage in Job, "Men fear Him." He will do what is just and guilty men fear His justice. God is a just judge and all His verdicts are true and all His verdicts are righteous, therefore men have good reason to be afraid to face Him with the record of their sin.
There are those who in reading a passage like this and understanding the coming judgment of God might say, "This is an injustice." But it is not for many reasons. First of all, God cannot but be just. Why? Because His holiness is the source of His justice. Holiness, absolute perfection, will not allow Him to do anything but what is right. He can no more be unjust than He can be unholy.
Furthermore, God's will is justice. God's will is the supreme rule of justice. God's will is the standard of equity. His will is wise, His will is true, His will is right. And God wills nothing but what is just and right and true. Therefore it is just because He is holy and He wills only that which is right.
Furthermore, God does what is just voluntarily. That is to say justice flows from the nature of God. Men may act justly because they are paid to act justly, or they are made to act justly for fear of loss of reputation or income. But God is not bribed, God is not forced, God is not just because society expects justice. He is not just because it enhances His reputation. He is just because it is His nature to be just. If the whole world cried for injustice, if men called for injustice, God would still be just and in fact that is exactly the case. A whole world of sinners calls for injustice, they don't want the just due to their sin, they don't want the reward that they have earned, they don't want to pay for their iniquity. They cry out for a God who is unjust, a God who looks over their sin and turns away and leaves them alone and they will not have it. No matter how they attempt to bribe God to be unjust, God will be just.
Justice is the perfection of the divine nature. God never has done anything unjust and He never will. His justice has been wronged, but never has His justice done wrong. God is just. He sets the standard. He carries it out.
And those who refuse to deal with their sin in the way that God has presented through the gospel of Jesus Christ, those who do not repent and reach out for divine grace, will experience justice. That is a just punishment for their sin. As in the case of Israel who rejected God's mercy and grace, God says to them in Hosea 13:9,"O Israel, you have destroyed yourself." Psalm 81:11, "Israel would have nothing to do with Me." Jesus said, "You will not come to Me that you might have life." He said, "You will die in your sins because you believe not on Me."
In other words, man makes a choice and justice acts. Genesis 18:25, way back in the very beginning in the book of Genesis, says,"The judge of the earth will do right." And ultimate and final justice is the right and true and holy and righteous expression of God against sinners who will not repent and receive the grace of forgiveness. And it is that final justice that we are reading about here in Revelation chapter 20, the final act of a holy, righteous, just God who is giving men exactly what they deserve and exactly what they have chosen.
As I said last week, the absence of detail is surprising. The words are starkly plain. The message is as inescapable as the judgment. It's clear, it can't be missed. And the judgment that is described here is called the great white throne judgment, for obvious reasons, it is the same judgment that is called the resurrection to everlasting disgrace, or the resurrection to everlasting contempt, that's Daniel's title for it. It is also called by our Lord Jesus the resurrection to damnation. This is that event, when all the ungodly of all of human history are raised and brought before the final tribunal to be sentenced to eternal hell.
Now there are four elements in this text that we're looking at. Let's go back over number one, only briefly enough to make one very important point. First of all is the scene. And in verse 11 and then just into verse 12, the scene is presented. "I saw a great white throne, Him who sat upon it from whose presence earth and heaven fled away and no place was found for them, and I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne." That's the scene.
The judge is God in the person of Jesus Christ. We made the statement, of course, that God and Christ are one and God is certainly the judge of all the earth, but He has committed that judgment to Christ. And so the judge is God in the form of Jesus Christ.
And you'll notice that the scene takes place in the absence of earth and heaven as we know it. There's a great white throne, God in the form of Christ sitting on it, and from the glorious, divine presence, earth and heaven disappear and no place is found for them. This is the uncreation. They go right out of existence. Just as God brought them into existence they go out of existence. And as I pointed out last time, this must mean uncreation. This doesn't mean alteration or reconfiguration, it means they disappear into non-existence. Scripture says heaven and earth will pass away, and it is here that the fulfillment is described.
Now science verifies this in a most fascinating way. Remember last time we looked at 2 Peter chapter 3 and in that text Peter writes that when this event takes place, the Great White Throne Judgment, the final expression of God's wrath, the ultimate aspect of the day of the Lord, heaven and earth will pass away. Earth and heaven will flee and no place will be found for them. Or to borrow the words of Peter, the elements will melt or dissolve.
Now let me talk about that for a moment from the scientific side so that you can see the rationality of this. Peter tells us that the elements will be dissolved. Now remember, the Kingdom has ended and that is the end of time. We are now on the brink of eternity when there will be, according to chapter 21 verse 1, a new heaven and a new earth because the first heaven and the first earth passed away and there's no longer any sea. And then we enter into the eternal state, time is no more. The thousand-year Millennial Kingdom is the end of time. And the elements will dissolve.
When God closes the book on time the universe as we know it has to come to an end. You say, "Why is that true?" Time and creation began together because scientifically you cannot have creation without time. You say, "What do you mean by that?" Let's go back to Peter's word "elements." Peter uses a term in the Greek that means the basic units. The basic parts of matter. Elements refer to the basic components of creation, matter. And do you know what matter is? If you have a scientific background you know this, let me give it you simply...matter is particles in motion. Most of what you see is space. It's hard to believe that, even harder if you try to go through it. It looks solid. But it is not. Matter is particles in controlled motion. You learned that way back in your science classes somewhere.
Listen carefully, science says motion requires time because if something moves from one place to the another there has to be time. It's here and it's there and the fact that it was here and there demands the passage of time, even it's only a fraction. You cannot have matter unless you have time because you can't have motion unless something can move from one place to another, and it can't move from one place to another unless there's a passage of time. No time, no motion...no motion, no matter...no matter, no elements...no elements, no creation.
So when time ends, creation as we know it ends and you cannot have in the universe anything made up of particles in motion. So, when the Word of God says heaven and earth passes away, when the Word of God says the elements dissolve and the universe goes out of existence, it is because time ends. Time began at the same time creation began. When time ends, creation goes out of existence.
So the creation is uncreated. And somewhere in timeless, spaceless presence, the great white throne appears. And before it, the dead. And I marked last time for you the note that there are no living people remaining because there's no where to be alive, that is in physical form. There's no earth left. There's no universe, nothing's left. Everything is uncreated. So the godly have all been translated to the glory of God's presence and the ungodly are all gone out of the universe as we know it. And now they appear, all the ungodly in this scene.
Now terms that the Bible uses to describe the place of the dead are familiar to us. If you study the Old Testament, do you remember a term Sheol? That's really the Hebrew equivalent of a New Testament term Hades. It is a place where the dead go, the ungodly dead. All the ungodly dead of all human history have gone into a place called Sheol, or Hades. It is where their eternal souls have been since they died. People who died in the time of Adam or people who died today are right now in a place called Sheol or Hades, and they're there in their eternal souls. Their bodies have not been raised. The bodies of the ungodly are all over this globe in various states of disarray and dissolution. Some of them utterly gone from existence, their bones having disintegrated into the dust.
So the bodies of the ungodly remain somehow in the dirt or in the bottom of the sea, or wherever. But their souls are in Hades. But Hades and Sheol, follow this, apparently are only a temporary place. They are not the eternal hell, although they are a place of torment because you remember when the rich man died in Luke's gospel, immediately when he died he was in torment, remember that? So that the Hades of the present order of the universe is a place of torment, remorse and anguish, just like the eternal hell, but not the eternal hell.
So all the ungodly of all the ages, their spirits are in Hades. But that's only temporary. And you see in verse 13 here death and Hades give up the dead. Why? Because verse 14 says, "Death and Hades go out of existence, they are thrown into the lake of fire." So what you have here is the end of the universe, as we know it, including somewhere in this universe a place called Sheol or Hades, a place of punishment and a place of remorse and a place of pain and a place of terror. And it's ultimately eliminated with the elimination of this universe in favor of a final place called hell.
The scene then is really incredible. As the universe dissolves, Hades and the grave dissolves with it. And all the bodies then come out because Hades is emptied of the spirits and the bodies are emptied out of the universe as it's uncreated, and actual resurrection bodies are created for the ungodly dead. That's why it's called a resurrection unto damnation, or as Daniel called it, a resurrection unto contempt. It is a resurrection. And the difference between the Hades of suffering now and the eternal hell is that the Hades of suffering now is the suffering of the soul, whereas the suffering of hell will be the suffering of the soul in a resurrected body. They will be body and eternal...soul rather and eternal body fitted for the eternal hell.
And so the scene gives way to the summons as all the ungodly from all of human history are called before the judge. This is the second feature then in this astounding vision, the actual calling and gathering of all these criminals from creation on to uncreation. They come from the Old Testament age, the New Testament age, the time of Tribulation, the time of the Kingdom and they are summoned from their cells. For since death they have been tormented in the place of punishment until they are sent finally to the permanent and eternal hell with resurrected bodies fit for eternal suffering.
Look at verse 13, "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them." There's the summons. This has to happen, by the way. The sea has to give up its dead because in chapter 21 verse 1 it says there's no longer any sea. The sea is uncreated and out of that sea before it goes out of existence comes forth all the resurrected bodies of the ungodly. And I think the sea is mentioned here just to let us know that the ones we would assume to be the most difficult to raise are raised. They might have been chewed into little pieces by the great white shark, but they'll be raised. God doesn't need to find all the pieces to put them back together, He'll bring forth a resurrection body for all the ungodly. All whoever drowned, all whose bodies ever drifted out to sea and sunk, all who ever fell overboard, all whoever died in the universal Flood, all who went down with the Lusitania(?), the Arizona, the Titanic and all the rest, all that ever perished in the sea will be brought out. And then death and Hades, or death and the grave, simply referring to every other place where the dead are, every grave including Hades itself where their spirits are, are going to yield up the dead. Up they come body and soul, resurrected body and soul. The sea and the grave and Hades are seen as veracious monsters that have swallowed the bodies of all generations and are now forced to disgorge their victims.
This is that which was spoken of in verse 5, "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed." At the end of the thousand years, at the end of time, at the end of creation as the dissolution of the universe occurs, it yields up all the bodies and souls of the dead and they have to come before the throne of God. They are raised to judgment.
Hades, again, is the state. It is a state rather than a place, it is a state where souls suffer, where unrighteous souls suffer until they are raised to the great white throne in final sentencing to the place called hell. Hades is a general term. In fact, the NAS translators wisely left it untranslated. It is a general term describing the abode of the dead spirits of those who are separated from God and punished, it is like a criminal being kept in jail until final sentencing, and off to the penitentiary. Hades is the New Testament word for Sheol, the grave. Hades appears ten times in the New Testament, Sheol sixty-five in the Old. It is the place in contrast to paradise, contrast to Abraham's bosom, the place where the righteous dead have gone. Hades is a state, really, it's a place for souls, it's a state of souls in which they are punished while they wait their final sentencing and their final experiences that last forever in the place called hell.
Just to remind you of that Luke 16 passage, it says in verse 23,"I"In Hades he lifted up his eyes being in torment." Hades is a place of torment. It is the headquarters, frankly, of wickedness, the headquarters of evil because it is the place where wicked and evil people dwell. In fact, when Jesus said He would built His church He said the gates of Hades couldn't prevent it. And what He was referring to there is death itself.
All the places then that hold the unrighteous dead, both body and spirit, are going to yield them up. The grave, Hades, death, the sea, I think he's just sweeping it all up. There's no more sea to keep them. There's no more earth to act as a grave. There's no more death to hold them. There's no more Hades to imprison them. The whole universe is uncreated and everyone comes to the great white throne.
And it says then in verse 13, "And they were judged, everyone one of them...everyone of them." No one will be excused. All the unrighteous dead of all the ages will be judged there.
So we see the scene and we see the summons. Thirdly I want us to notice in this text the standard. And this is a very important thing to understand. What is the standard by which they are judged? Well, it's an absolute standard. And we see it in verse 12, we see it in verse 13, and we see it again in verse 15. Look at verse...first of all, verse 12, the end of the verse, they're judged there, "according to their deeds." Verse 13, the end of the verse, "They were judged every one of them according to their deeds." It is the judgment of deeds, first of all. And then in verse 15 is added, "If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
But let's start out, first of all, with "according to their deeds," both in verse 12 and in verse 13. God has kept perfect and comprehensive records of every person's life. In fact, at the end of verse 12 it says they were judged from the things which were written in the books according to their deeds. That is to say that God is going to act justly right off the absolute and perfect record of everything that every person has ever done. It's all in the books. Omniscience has recorded it all. God has kept perfect, complete, flawless, comprehensive records of every person's every thought and every person's every word and every person's every act done throughout their entire life. And sinners are going to be judged on the basis of their deeds, measured against God's perfect standard.
And what is God's standard? Matthew 5:48, "Be ye perfect." First Peter 1:15 and 16, "Be ye holy even as your Father in heaven is holy and perfect." Or Galatians chapter 3, where the Apostle Paul sets again the perfect standard, "Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law to perform them." If you've ever broken one law one time, you are cursed. People will have the record of their works held up against the standard. "Be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect." "Be ye holy for I am holy." If you have ever one time broken one law of God, you are cursed, you are damned for violating the perfect standard. And Romans 3:23 sums up the condemnation, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
So the whole world is going to be judged according to their deeds. The ungodly are judged and we know again that this is the ungodly because believers will not be judged and sent to hell according to their deeds, because our sins have been covered by Christ. We will be rewarded on the basis of service rendered toward God, but that is for rewards, not for condemnation. The ungodly because they have not turned to Christ have left themselves to be judged by their works. Whether they kept the law perfectly, whether they were as perfect as God, as holy as God or not, if they never violated any of God's standard, if they were as holy and perfect as He, they'll be all right. But no one meets that challenge. They will be judged on their thoughts. Luke 8 and verse 17, "For nothing is hidden that shall not become evident, nor anything secret that shall not be known and come to light." God is going to bring every secret of every heart right into the open on the day of judgment. In fact, Romans 2:16 calls it "the day when God will judged the secrets of men through Christ Jesus."
It will not only be a judgment of thoughts to see if people are perfect, but it will be a judgment of words. Matthew 12:37, "For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned."
It will also be a judgment of acts. Matthew 16:27, "The Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels and recompense to every man according to his works."
God is going to judge every thought and every word and every action. And no one can claim ignorance. Romans 1 says, "Every man is without excuse." Why? "Because that which may be known of God is in him and around him." He is without excuse of Romans 2:14 and 15,"T"The law of God is written in his heart and he has a conscience to lead him to the truth." No man can claim ignorance because Christ is the light that lights every man that comes into the world, John 1:9. The knowledge of God, the knowledge of the truth about God, the knowledge of right and wrong, the knowledge of Christ in some very primitive way, all of that is in the heart of every man who if he follows that knowledge will come to the truth. So they'll be judged according to their deeds and no one will claim ignorance successfully.
Back to verse 12. Early in the verse it says, "And the books were opened...and the books were opened." That's taken right out of Daniel 7:10. In the vision of Daniel chapter 7 you have the same scene really. The prophet Daniel saw the very same thing that John saw. He saw this time of judgment. He saw the throne, the Ancient of Days taking His seat. He saw the angels coming around the court sat," he says in verse 10, "and the books were opened." The very same statement that John makes.
What are those books? The record of every thought and every word and every deed of every sinner. It can't be the righteous, their sins are remembered no more, buried in the depths of the deepest sea, no longer in existence. The sea is gone and everything buried there with it. But of the ungodly, every sin is remembered, every sin is in the books of the unrepentant.
The record, by the way, for each person will be unique and so will the punishment. That's an important thing to think about. Hell is not like some great big hole where everybody gets thrown into the same place with the same level of torment. No. Every person's life will be evaluated uniquely and every person's punishment will be consistent with that unique evaluation.
For example, and I need to explain this cause it's very important to understand there are degrees of punishment consistent with degrees of sinfulness. In Matthew 10 verses 14 and 15, it says the words of Jesus, "Whoever does not receive you nor heed your word," He's talking to those He sends out to preach, the Twelve,"whoever doesn't receive you nor heed your word as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet. Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city." In other words, when the people who died, when God buried Sodom and Gomorrah under fire and brimstone, when those people are raised to stand before the great white throne judgment, and the people of some town or some village that rejected the preaching of the Apostles are raised and they stand there side by side, the punishment that comes to Sodom and Gomorrah will be more tolerable than the punishment that comes to those who rejected the gospel, or the preaching of the Apostles.
So there is a more and a less tolerable punishment, fitting the level of sin. However, I might hastily add it's only the degree to which you gnash your teeth, the degree to which you feel the pain and remorse in the pangs of conscience and the fire of judgment.
In the eleventh chapter of Matthew, again verse 22,"Nevertheless I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you." He's talking to the town of Chorazin, the town of Bethsaida. "And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You shall descend to Hades for if the miracles that occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day. Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you." You see, there are degrees of toleration in punishment.
In Mark's gospel, as you come over to chapter 12, you find another indication of this in verse 38. In His teaching Jesus was saying, "Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes and like respectful greetings in the market places and chief seats in the synagogues...that's their spiritual hypocrisy...they want places of honor at banquets. They devour widows' houses and for appearance sake offer long prayers...this line comes next...they will receive greater condemnation." There is a greater and a lesser condemnation.
In Luke chapter 12 you find the same truth again reiterated in another fashion through means of a story that Jesus tells, a story about a master and his servants. And it says in chapter 12 verse 47, "That slave who knew his master's will and didn't get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes. The one who didn't know it and committed deeds worthy of a flogging will receive but a few." Hell will have few lashes for some and many for others.
Hebrews chapter 10 adds another passage to these. It says, "Of how much greater punishment shall the one be thought worthy who has trodden underfoot the Son of God and counted the blood of the covenant an unholy thing?"
In other words, if you hear the gospel and reject it, you have a greater judgment than one who didn't hear it. There will be greater and lesser degrees of punishment in hell. And so the record is kept of every person's life so that the judgment and the punishment can fit the iniquity.
If a person is to remain unconverted, listen to what I say, the sooner he dies the better. The less he hears, the better because the longer he lives and the longer the list and the books becomes and the more he hears and rejects, the great the punishment.
Why? Romans 2:5, "By your stubborn and unrepentant heart you are piling up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath." You're just accumulating it. And so I say if the sinner is to remain unconverted, the sooner he dies the better, the less he hears the better. Every day the sinner lives, every evil thought he has, every unholy pleasure he enjoys, every ungrateful breath he breathes, every selfish act, every gospel word rejected, every divine truth spurned adds to his eternal punishment.
I could sum it up by putting it this way. When God allows the sinner to prosper, he is not making things better for him, he's making things worse. Even time spent trying to earn salvation while rejecting grace only adds to the ultimate punishment. Therefore the unsaved religious in Christianity will suffer the hottest hell. The unsaved religious in Christianity will suffer the hottest hell because they have trampled on Christ and by means of self-righteousness attempted to attain salvation. They know the most therefore they suffer the greatest. All sinners in hell will be completely miserable but not equally miserable. The punishment fits the crime. And each crime brings the eternal judgment according to the nature of that crime. That's why the books were opened. The judgment fits the record and God is absolutely and exactly and precisely just.
And then verse 12 says, "And another book was opened which is the book of life." Another book was opened. This book is not unlike another kind of book in ancient times. They had books in which they kept the record of criminals, we have them today, don't we? If you have a criminal record, it's on file, stored up in books until we went to computerization. Computers today fulfill the function of books. The criminal record is there.
In ancient times they had those books and they put the records of the criminals in the books. And every unregenerate person in the history of the world stands as a condemned criminal before God who has kept a perfect record of his sins. But ancient cities also had another book, it was typical of ancient cities to have not only a book in which they listed the record of the criminals, but they had another book which was the book of the names of loyal citizens. They had a register for the city and if you were a loyal, upstanding, good and noble person, you were in the book. You were not listed with the criminals, you were in the book of the loyal. And John sees at this particular scene in timelessness and spacelessness, at the great white throne, there is also a book with the name of loyal citizens.
This book has been referred to in the past. Daniel makes reference to it. In Daniel 12:1, "When the time of distress comes...he says...everyone who is found written in the book will be rescued." All the noble, all those written in the book of life,"And they will awake to everlasting life."
Even Malachi talks about such a book. Malachi 3:16, "Those who feared the Lord spoke to one another when they heard about judgment and the Lord gave attention and heard it. And a book of remembrance was written before him for those who fear the Lord." He put their name in His book and He said they'll be Mine on the day that I prepare My own possession and I'll spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him and distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who doesn't.
God has a book. In that book are the names of His own, the names of those who believed in Him, who were loyal to Him, who were faithful to Him, who came to Him for grace. And Jesus said this, to His disciples in Luke 10:20, "Do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." This is a special book. It's the book that lists those who belong to the Lord, those who are the loyal faithful servants of God. And he says the book was opened which is the book of life.
This book contains the names of those who will not die the second death. It contains the names of those who will live. The book of life, by the way, has already been mentioned in Revelation 3:5, Revelation 13:8, Revelation 17:8, it will be mentioned again in chapter 21 verse 27 and chapter 22 verse 19, this book of life.
What is this book? It is just that. It is the listing of those who will have eternal life, the listing of those who belong to God. Philippians 4:3, Paul talks about the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life. Hebrews 12:23, "To the general assembly, the church of the firstborn, who are written in heaven." It's the heavenly book recording the names of the redeemed. And you remember, don't you, that God wrote those names before the foundation of the world. It is a list of the elect...the list of the faithful, the list of the redeemed of all the ages, all who had their sins forgiven because they've come to Christ.
But the dead, it says, verse 12, were judged from the things which were written in the books according to their deeds. The implication is that none of their names were in that other book. It was there but their names weren't. And the rest of the dead, all who gather there, all who are not a part of the first resurrection, the resurrection unto life, all who were not a part of that are gathered and all the dead had to be judged out of the things written in the books according to their deeds. The implication, because their names were not in the book of life.
Some of them are going to be startled. This is the day...this is the event in which the Lord is going to hear, "Lord, Lord, have we not done this...and done that...in Your name?" And He says, "Depart from Me, I never knew you, you workers of iniquity."
Over fifty times in the Bible the standard for eternal judgment is presented as deeds, works. And the dead are judged according to their deeds, all of which are recorded. It says it again at the end of 13, "According to their deeds." The sinner can either plead guilty while he is still alive in this world, acknowledge his guilt, repent and ask God for a complete pardon by grace based on the substitutionary death of Christ or he can go to trial after he dies. It's his choice. But that trial will be on the basis of his having kept the standard of God perfectly. He will fall short and hell awaits. The pardon is there for the one who pleads guilty and comes to receive the grace and forgiveness of Christ. So you plead guilty now or later. You plead guilty, cast yourself on the mercy of a gracious judge, or keep pleading innocent and some day you'll stand before God and be pronounced guilty.
The final comment on the judgment standard is in verse 15. "If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." You see, the only hope to erase the record of damning sins is to have your name in the book of life. The only hope to escape the final trial is to have come penitently, acknowledging your guilt, crying out to a merciful God to forgive you for Jesus' sake, and having your name written in the book of life.
Some on that bench standing before the throne of God are going to ask, "Is my name there? Is my name there indicating that my sin has been forgiven, that my sin has been covered by the righteousness of Christ through faith in His death? Am I in the book of remembrance? Am I among the listed, loyal, submissive subjects of the King of Kings? Am I numbered among the holy children of God who wear the robes of heavenly righteousness?" Sadly, none of the names are there. They chose to go it on their own, face the tribunal of God rather than plead guilty and receive mercy and a pardon through Christ.
People talk like that so often. "I'm a good person, I think when I get there I've done enough good things for God to let me in." Oh what a tragic deception that is. Either you come now, recognizing your sin, that you are cursed, you have fallen short, you are not perfect, you are not as holy as God, as perfect as the Father in heaven, you have violated the law and you plead for forgiveness and mercy and you receive the gift of grace now or you go to trial and are eternally damned. The folly of sinners is that they choose to face the tribunal of God rather...and plead innocent, rather than plead guilty now and receive a pardon through Jesus Christ.
So, you see the scene and the summons and the standard by which they are measured. That leaves us with one other great reality, and I'll save it till next time, the sentence itself--the sentence itself. What is the lake of fire? And what does it mean to be thrown into it?
Just to make sure we cover what the Spirit of God would want us to say tonight and in this message, the lake of fire is eternal punishment. There's more detail than that, and we'll look at that next time. But suffice it for this moment to know it is eternal punishment. And that's what everyone receives who rejects the grace of God in Jesus Christ. What a foolish thing, what a horrible thing.
And you say, "Why would a loving God do this?" Well, because a loving God is also a just God. "Why would a loving God to this?" It's not that a loving God has done this, that it's a sinning person has done it. In order to get to the lake of fire you have to reject God whom you come into this world knowing, at least by the revelation that is in you and around you. You have to reject moral law which is written in the fabric of your heart. You have to reject conscience, the divine warning system given to every human being. You have to reject the revelation even of Christ that is in the world. You have to reject the gospel, you have to reject the free pardon. You have to pass through a lot of gates to get to the lake of fire. You have to reject the sweet words of Scripture,"T"That God so loved the world that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." You have to reject the kind invitation, "Him that comes unto Me I will in no wise cast out." You have to reject the words of the Apostle where he says, "The gift of God is eternal life, though the wages of sin are death." You have to reject the wonderful promise that the blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin. You gave to step on the body of Jesus Christ. You have to walk past the open tomb. It's not a question of the justice of God, it's a question of man and woman loving sin and buying the delusion that in the end you'll be good enough. Don't blame God. Hell is for people who forever will have no one to blame but themselves. Let's bow together in prayer.
Father, as we think about this, it is so overwhelming to us that words fail. We...we look at our own lives, first of all, and we're just overwhelmed with gratitude. We feel like bursting into a doxology of praise to thank You for saving us. At the same time, Lord, we feel so grieved, distressed deep down, sick at our stomachs to contemplate the terrible end of the ungodly. No wonder the Apostle John in seeing this felt bitterness in his stomach, no wonder Paul said, "Knowing the terror of the Lord we persuade men." O God, how can we hold back, how can we not call men to repentance? How can we not plead with sinners to avoid the judgment? If we can, we are indeed callous, and cold, uncaring, not at all like Christ who sat over Jerusalem and wept because they were lost. And not at all like You, for You cried through the eyes of Jeremiah at lost people. Father, help us to understand what's coming. Help us to understand what is coming, not just in the final judgment but in the moment of death for every ungodly person for they enter into the temporary Hades of suffering, only to be ultimately transported to the final hell.
Father, we ask that You would make us thankful on the one hand, and zealous to proclaim the saving gospel of a gracious, loving God who calls and calls and calls and calls, though sinners will not hear. We like Paul have been given the ministry of reconciliation, to cry out to people to be reconciled to You through Christ. We thank You that You've made it possible and that You offer any sinner who will acknowledge his guilt a pardon and a resurrection of life rather than a resurrection to the great white throne. May these truths sink deep into us and give us a fresh new zeal for those outside who are headed for such a terrible, terrible future.
And, Father, we know that this ministry is the thing for which the church exists on earth and the reason we live. Give us opportunity, O God. Open doors so that we can share the pardon that is available in Christ. And we ask these things in His great name. Amen.

Yellow: Perfect Way To Brighten Up A Snow Day
If you looked out your window this morning and saw snow like we did — this post is for you. We're getting a little tired of the snow and long for bright yellow sunny days. We figured if we can't actually have those days that we'd fake it. Yellow is a pretty daring color to work with, but when done right, you wonder why there's no yellow in your own home.
Not everyone is going to run to Home Depot to pick up gallons of yellow paint to paint their kitchen cabinets, but it's refreshing to see that it can actually be done. If you're looking to go super bold, maybe you should consider adding yellow to your kitchen. If subtle is more your thing, find an amazing yellow throw to add to your bed. Yellow provides just enough pop to make a huge difference no matter how big the effort.
Yellow curtains have always been a dream of ours, especially on cold white days. It's not everyday you walk into a home with yellow curtains and we think they're an unexpected surprise that will definitely wow visitors. The good thing about yellow is that it plays well with others. If you have white walls or black walls — yellow goes with everything!

Treating venereal disease
Before the mid-1800s sexually transmitted infections, then known as venereal disease, were accepted as a normal part of war. Prostitutes stationed themselves around the garrison towns and were part of the military scene. They were tolerated because they could satisfy the soldiers' needs for female company, and it was thought they would ensure the soldiers did not indulge in homosexual behaviour.
The first Contagious Diseases Act was passed in Britain in 1864 to try and begin controlling venereal disease, which was having a dramatic impact on fighting forces. One in three cases of sickness in the military was a result of venereal disease, especially syphilis and gonorrhoea. It took a long time to treat, which meant time away from fighting. The Contagious Diseases Act was controversial, as it tended to try and control female prostitutes, rather than change soldiers' behaviour.
During the First World War men would occasionally try to infect themselves with venereal disease to get away from the terrible conditions that existed at the front. New drugs such as Salvarsan were developed to cure syphilis and soldiers were educated on the dangers of venereal disease. Gonorrhoea was treated by the sulphonamides developed in the 1930s. However, venereal disease was still a problem and although it could be treated with drugs, soldiers could still lose time away from battle while they were treated. In the Second World War most soldiers were supplied with condoms as a barrier to prevent them becoming infected with venereal disease.

Ingredients for Healthy Indulgence
Just a few tricks can deliver products consumers will buy that also are good for them.
Healthy indulgence shouldn't be an oxymoron. In fact, indulgence has always been a healthy part of a balanced approach to eating, as demonstrated in the traditions of healthy civilizations.
However, one could argue that our obsession with guilt-promoting popular diets has been at least partly responsible for the fact that today the mere mention of the word "healthy" can trigger a knee-jerk association with "flavorless," "unappetizing" and "boring."
Consumers may demand healthier foods, and at the same time fund the flavor-only offerings. The smart strategy for processors intent on tapping the healthy indulgence market is to focus on the ingredients consumers equate with indulgence yet deliver healthy profiles to the foods and beverages they enhance.
Reinventing indulgence
"Achieving healthy indulgence is a challenge to both the food scientist and to the marketing manager," says John Tucker, who has both titles – "director of marketing & technology" – at Turtle Mountain (www.turtlemountain.com), Eugene, Ore.
Every Turtle Mountain product seeks to bridge the healthy and indulgent gap by combining soy bases with decadent ingredients.
Turtle Mountain also has that split personality, specializing in soy-based ice cream and refrigerated yogurts. The appropriately titled Purely Decadent and So Delicious brands are certified vegan, Kosher and in most instances organic, depending on the product line.
"Creating healthy food products that are as indulgent as their not-so-healthy counterpart represents a daunting technical challenge," Tucker continues. "It often requires the food scientist to think outside the box and to approach the problem in an unconventional fashion."
Equally challenging is communicating that a food product is both healthy indulgent. "Healthy indulgence can be a double-edged sword. If you place too much emphasis on health, consumers are suspicious as to how it will taste. If you focus too much on indulgence, consumers fail to see the health benefits. As an example, we learned that exclusive use of the word 'healthy' could lead to reduced taste expectations," says Tucker.
"Our experience at Turtle Mountain has been that applying standard ingredients and standard processes generally fails to achieve the breakthroughs required to create healthy products with exceptional taste," he continues. "We often look to other product categories for solutions both from an ingredient perspective and processing perspective. It is amazing what you can discover."
"Today, more than ever, it makes sense for manufacturers to optimize their overall protein strategy," says Nick Weber, public relations manager for Solae (www.solae.com), St. Louis. "With animal protein costs rising and stability of supply affecting food companies, soy protein capitalizes on consumer health and wellness trends. As a plant-based, high-quality protein, soy protein is a great fit for products that are positioned as natural and good for the environment."
Soy protein also can be included in products that address heart health, satiety/weight management, lean muscle mass development and sustained energy. Soy protein is comparable to meat, milk and eggs on a protein level. Solae soy protein can help processors provide healthy products to a consumer base that wants to indulge from time to time.
Icons of indulgence
Over the years, nothing has screamed, "indulgence" louder than chocolate. But when researchers began to uncover the value of phytochemicals, many of which were antioxidants like the flavanols found in chocolate, especially dark chocolate, the image of chocolate began to change. Maybe there was some reason behind our mad obsession with this indulgence. Maybe chocolate was innocent, even protective!
Starting with a healthy image, Larabar moved into indulgent chocolate territory with its Jocalat line.
As it became clear that antioxidants were key factors in a healthy diet, Mars North America (www.mars.com), Mount Olive, N.J., expanded chocolate's reach as a health-oriented extravagance with its CocoaVia Original Chocolate line. CocoaVia products are processed to contain 100mg of flavanols and 1.1g of natural plant extracts in both dark and milk chocolate forms. The chocolate bars are marketed as "an excellent source of calcium and a good source of folic acid, vitamins B6, B12 and antioxidant vitamins C and E." Serving size, too, is focused toward the health benchmark snack size of 100 calories per serving.

According to the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics, by the year 2010, there will be over 40 million people in the United States over the age of 65.1 You or someone you know may fall into this category.
As we age, we need to be aware of the truths and myths about aging. This is also the case for our family members and those healthcare professionals that take care of us. For example, here are some statements that most think are true, but are actually FALSE.
Therefore, we must be aware of perceptions about growing older. Education is key to changing attitudes and influencing perceptions of aging and older people.(More)

Tension is caused from impure thoughts.catmoon wrote: Yes and no. The tension and hard breathing mean its time to check. They can be caused by harmful thoughts. They can also be caused by playing tennis.
Anger is just impure thought labeled as unpleasant and blindly reacted towards. When you eventually notice it don't make it a problem just observe it without reacting towards it.catmoon wrote:Anger is a problem because it distorts the mind. One sees the object of anger as much worse than it actually is, which can lead to bad decisions. Anger often leads to harmful actions. If one catches it and can observe it (oh, looks here's this anger thing arising again) it is very liable to drain away, especially if one is quite clear on the damage potential of anger and does not wish to be angry.
Catching and identifying impure thought before it turns to anger was the the point of this thread.
Doesn't this just supress the anger? Does it have the power to free you from the root cause of anger?catmoon wrote:Anger is usually directed at a person. It's hard to get mad at a Buddha. So if you see Buddha nature before you, you are less likely to become angry, because instead of a bad person you see a Buddha and some mildly interesting things obscuring the expression of the Buddha nature.

This is my go-to pattern when I want a quick quilt top. Instead of the 4 patch squares I cut four 9 1/2 inch blocks like the other ones in the pattern. It showcases large Asian and other large prints like florals. It might look difficult but it's not. I usually make it using 5 different fabrics and everyone who gets one loves it.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Behind a five-save performance from freshman goalkeeper Josh McNeely and goals from forwards Achille Campion and Ismaila Jome UC Santa Barbara recorded its third straight shutout victory by defeating UC Riverside 2-0 on Sunday evening.
Now on their longest win streak of the season at three games, the Gauchos have recorded shutout wins in three straight for the first time since 2010. Now at 7-4 (2-0 Big West), Tim Vom Steeg's squad sits atop the Big West North Division after the first week of conference play. UC Riverside fell to 5-4-2, 0-2 with the loss.
It didn't take long for UCSB to get ahead against the Highlanders on Sunday, as the Gauchos were able to grab a goal within the first minute of the match.
Back on defense, senior Daniel Welsh played a ball up the field to senior forward Goffin Boyoko, who settled the pass before lobbing a through ball into the box to fellow forward Achille Campion. The French striker let the ball take one bounce before setting and blasting a first-touch shot past keeper Ashkan Khosravi, who was making his first appearance of the season.
Just 37 seconds in, it was by far the earliest goal scored by the Gauchos this season.
Spotted a goal so early, UCSB ratcheted up its defensive pressure throughout the first half, resulting in just three UC Riverside shots for the period, two of which were on frame.
That low-offense trend continued through the early stages of the second half, but one free kick changed all that. Taking the kick at around the halfway line, UCR defender Eric Gonzalez lofted a ball all the way to McNeely, who was able to get a glove on the shot despite the crowded box. McNeely did not get all of it however, and needed to make a pair of impresive close-range stops on Highlander shots before completely escaping the danger.
The Calabasas, Calif. native made three of his five saves for the day on that one stretch of play. His personal record improved to 6-3 after the win.
After that danger, UCSB had several dangerous counterattacking threats. One such opportunity led to the Gauchos' second goal. Trying to play a ball back to his keeper, a UCR defender instead deflected a ball off his own teammate and back towards UCSB's forwards.
Jumping on the turnover, freshman attacker Ismaila Jome advanced on the Highlanders goal. With Campion and Boyoko running down the wings and occupying the two remaining UCR defenders, Jome took advantage and curled a left-footed strike just inside the left post for his first career goal.
"The fact that we're now finding ways to win is the real takeaway for this team," said Vom Steeg postgame. "We stayed focused and composed at the back even after getting that early goal."
Still the team leader in assists with five, Jome is now third on the team with seven points. Campion reclaimed his place at the top of the UCSB scoresheet with his goal giving him his 10th point.
This week, the Gauchos will travel south to face Big West rivals CSUN and UC Irvine in their first road games in over a month. Friday night's matchup against Cal State Northridge will pit the two conference division leaders against each other, while the Anteaters, Sunday's opponent, were ranked as high as No. 18 in the country last week before splitting their first two conference games.

Mountain weddings are gorgeous but often land firmly in the rustic category...until now. This stunner captured by Brett Heidebrecht is blowing that notion right out of the water. An elegant mix of structured Vera Wang gown, a ballroom draped in white, and lush florals + candlelight designed by Alexan Events makes this Colorado celebration like no other.
From the Bride and Groom . . . Even before we officially began planning our wedding, we knew one thing. We wanted to get married in the mountains in Colorado. We visited several locations but eventually decided on the first place we had been: The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa in Avon. We couldn't pick one reason for our decision; everything just felt right there. With Beaver Creek Mountain and the Eagle River providing the background for our ceremony, everything was perfect on our wedding day. The decor was beautiful, reflecting the blend of elegant and rustic that we wanted. The speeches at the reception brought on the laughs and fun, which kept going as our guests took the dance floor and remained well into the night. Our wedding planner Alexan Events made sure that we had no day-of worries. They coordinated vendors and with the venue, and made sure the guests were in the right places at the right times. Brett, our photographer, beautifully captured both the big and quiet moments of the day.

There were some comparisons that were requested that I was unable to do because I either don't own the polish you wanted to see compared or I do own the polish and it's loaned out to a friend (or missing in my house haha). I hope this is helpful for you guys! This post is VERY picture heavy, my apologies if it takes a while to load after you click the read more button below.
China Glaze Angel Wings vs China Glaze Ultamate Holiday. Angel Wings is part of the Holiday Joy Collection that I'll have swatches of soon for you! It instantly reminded me of 1 of the Ulta Exclusive Holiday shades China Glaze put out last year called Ultamate Holiday. Good news for those of you who missed out on Ultamate Holiday...it's pretty much the exact same polish. The only minor difference was the formula, Angel Wings was a touch thicker. I used 3 coats of each polish for the photo below.
China Glaze Champagne Kisses vs. China Glaze I'm Not Lion vs. China Glaze I Herd That. Champagne Kisses is another from the Holiday Joy Collection. No dupes between these 3 polishes but they might be similar enough to skip. I used 3 coats for each polish for the photos below. Sidenote: these make a pretty ombre, don't they?
JulieG Light It Up vs OPI Rainbow Connection vs China Glaze Pizzazz vs Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday. I have so many glitters like this, I could have seriously dedicated a whole post to just comparing them. Basically these are all pretty much the same, there are small variations in the color and sizes of the glitters but overall they all look the same on the nail. I used 1 coat of each polish over Nails Inc Black Taxi for the photo below.
Essie Beyond Cozy vs. China Glaze I'm Not Lion vs. OPI Designer De Better. No dupes between these 3 but again, maybe similar enough to skip. I used 3 coats for I'm Not Lion and Designer De Better and 2 coats of polish for Beyond Cozy.
Essie Butler Please vs Sally Hansen Pacific Blue vs Essie Mesmerized. No dupes here, Pacific Blue is lighter and brighter than Butler Please but they are probably close enough to not need both. I went and bought Mesmerized since so many people requested the comparison, I'm actually surprised by how much darker it is. I used 2 coats for each polish for the photo below.
Essie Leading Lady vs Deborah Lippmann Razzle Dazzle. No dupes between these 2, Razzle Dazzle is much more of a raspberry shade. I used 2 coats of Leading Lady and 3 coats of Razzle Dazzle for the photo below.
Essie Leading Lady vs Essie Ruby Slippers. I think a lot of people were probably hoping these 2 were dupes, sadly they aren't. While they are very similar finish wise Leading Lady is darker and Ruby Slippers has golden shimmer/glitter. I used 2 coats of each polish for the photo below.
Essie Where's My Chauffeur? vs China Glaze Aquadelic. These 2 are also not dupes but they are pretty close, Aquadelic is a little lighter and it leans more towards green. You probably can skip the Essie if you already have the China Glaze. I used 2 coats of each polish for the photo below.
Essie Where's My Chauffeur vs. China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise vs Color Club Blue-Ming. These 2 were requested but they aren't very close so in an effort to save my cuticles a little I decided to just show a bottle shot. Clearly no dupes here....in real life the China Glaze is greener (that color is such a pain to photograph, sorry!)
OPI Casino Royale vs. Zoya Monica vs. China Glaze Urban Night vs Color Club By Design. Again, no dupes with Casino Royale. However Zoya Monica and China Glaze Urban Night seem to be pretty close! I used 2 coats for each polish.
OPI Die Another Day vs OPI Deutsche You Want Me Baby vs OPI Danke Shiny Red. No dupes here either but I'm pretty sure that if Deutsche You Want Me Baby and Danke Shiny Red had a love child the result would be Die Another Day. It's pretty much smack dab in the middle of these 2 polishes color wise. In real life Deutsche You Want Me Baby leans more towards orange, again impossible to photograph...sorry. I used 2 coats for each polish.
OPI Live And Let Die vs Orly Meet Me Under The Mistletoe. I thought these 2 might be close when I was swatching Live and Let Die, they are both gorgeous but very different. The weird thing about wearing these polishes at the same time was next to the OPI polish the Orly polish was looking much more teal than it usually does on it's own. I used 1 coat of the OPI and 2 of the Orly for the photo below.
OPI Live and Let Die vs. China Glaze Glittering Garland vs. Zoya Logan vs. Essence Walk On The Wild Side. Live and Let Die vs. Glittering Garland was probably the most requested comparison, sadly they are not dupes. Glittering Garland is lighter and a lot more sparkly. The other 2 polishes are also not dupes. I used 1 coat of Live and Let Die and 2 coats of the other 3 polishes for the photo below.
OPI On Her Majesty's Secret Service vs. Zoya FeiFei. In the bottle FeiFei was a little bit lighter but on the nail I can't tell these 2 apart! I used 3 coats for each polish for the photos below.
OPI The Spy Who Loved Me vs OPI Red Dazzle vs OPI Ali's Big Break. No dupes here, in the photo Red Dazzle looks pretty close but depending on the light it was much more of an orangey red next to The Spy Who Loved Me. I used 3 coats of Red Dazzle and 2 coats for the other 2 polishes for the photo below.
OPI The World Is Not Enough vs Nicole by OPI For Gold Times Sake vs OPI Designer De Better. No dupes here :( I used 3 coats for each polish in the photo below.
OPI Tomorrow Never Dies vs OPI Ink vs China Glaze Bizarre Blurple. As far as what I'm comparing today Bizarre Blurple is the closest thing I have to Tomorrow Never Dies. It's a bit darker and more blue toned but similar enough to probably not need both. I used 2 coats for each polish.
OPI Tomorrow Never Dies vs OPI Into The Night vs. Color Club Personal Stylist vs China Glaze Want My Bawdy. All 3 of these polishes are much lighter and more blue than Tomorrow Never Dies. I don't think they are a good alternative for it, however I think you probably don't need all 3 of them if you are looking for a shade like them. I used 2 coats of Tomorrow Never Dies and Personal Stylist and 3 coats for the other 2 polishes below.
OPI You Only Live Twice vs. OPI I'm All Ears vs. China Glaze Strawberry Fields vs Zoya Kimber vs China Glaze Ahoy. You Only Live Twice was by far the winner of most comparison requests...because of this I decided to do mostly bottle shots since a lot of them weren't that close. Hope you guys don't mind!
OPI You Only Live Twice vs. JulieG Gift Wrapped vs OPI Meep Meep Meep. Out of everything requested these 2 were the closest to You Only Live Twice. There were slight differences in the finish of these but they are very close color wise, you don't definitely don't need all 3. I used 2 coats of each polish for the photo below.
OPI You Only Live Twice vs. OPI The One That Got Away vs. OPI Congeniality Is My Middle Name.
Zoya Aurora vs. A England Lady of the Lake vs OPI DS Extravagance. No dupes here! I used 2 coats for each polish!
Zoya Blaze vs. OPI DS Extravagance vs Essie Wild Thing vs Orly Miss Conduct. No dupes here either, I thought Miss Conduct would be a little closer but Blaze is more red toned compared to all 3 other polishes. I used 2 coats for each polish below.
Zoya Electra vs. OPI Save Me. These 2 are much different, definitely worth owning both if you like bar glitter. I used 1 coat of each polish over Nails Inc Black Taxi for the photo below.
Zoya Logan vs Zoya Ivanka. This was another big request, unfortunately they are very different. Logan is more blue based and also much more opaque. I love Ivanka but it's so sheer that I pretty much never wear it. I used 2 coats of Logan and 4 of Ivanka for the photos below.
Zoya Storm vs A England Bridal Veil vs Butter London The Black Knight vs Girly Bits Into the Night. No dupes here but you kind of get the same look with Storm and The Black Knight even though the glitter is very different. I used 1 coat of Bridal Veil, 2 coats of Storm and Into The Night and 3 coats of The Black Knight for the photo below.
Zoya Ziv vs. JulieG Ornamental vs OPI Designer De Better. No dupes with these 3 but Ornamental and Ziv are probably close enough to not need both. The only small differences are that Ziv is a touch darker and it has some glitter in the mix, Ornamental is straight up foil finish. I used 2 coats of Ornamental and Ziv and 3 coats of Designer De Better for the photo below.
Last but not least is OPI GoldenEye vs Zoya Ziv. Clearly these 2 aren't dupes, they are different enough to own both in my opinion. I used 2 coats of Ziv and 3 coats of GoldenEye for the photo below.

Vikings Visit Senior Bowl; Need WRs
Super Bowl preparations are well underway in New Orleans, but did you know this is one of the biggest weeks of the draft process?
The Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama is this weekend. All week these under-the-radar players try to prove they are ready to take it to the next level.
The Vikings proved they are in the need for wide receiver help. I know Jarius Wright is still a bit raw, but I give him a legit show at the club next season. As fpr Jerome Simpson, Doh! I better not see him next year. Of course then there is Percy Harvin, all the tools, speed and ability.
Vikings fans should take interest in the Senior Bowl and pay attention to the play of Baylor's Terrance Williams. He is big, strong and has good speed. Scouts in Mobile say he is going after DBs in drills.
A couple of other receivers to look at include Ryan Swope out of Texas A&M and Duke's Conner Vernon.
The scout on Swope is he has some skill and is coachable. Vernon is fast, tremendous ankle-breaking cuts, and according to news accounts of practice so far this week, fought for the ball and generally made life miserable for the defensive backs.

Director's Corner
24 July 2008
ILCSC approves new MOU at the Dubna meeting
The International Linear Collider Steering Committee (ILCSC) met on 4 June 2008 at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia, in parallel with the first day of our Global Design Effort meeting. We began the day with a joint plenary session that featured talks by Sakue Yamada and myself, respectively describing the status and plans for the detectors and accelerator. An important outcome of the ILCSC meeting was the approval of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the ILCSC that gives the mandate for the GDE Technical Design Phase for accelerator R&D and the Letter-of-Intent (LOI) phase for the detectors. In addition, several ILCSC members stayed in Dubna for the next morning to participate in a very lively special session of our GDE meeting on siting strategies.
The Global Design Effort is "legitimate" thanks to an ILCSC MOU that is an agreement to collaborate on the ILC design effort and formulates and defines our work. The ILCSC is a subcommittee of the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA), and it assumes the scientific oversight of our work for ICFA. The original MOU for the GDE was to carry out the work culminating in last year's Reference Design Report. A new MOU covering the present phase of our work, which we call the Technical Design Phase, has been evolving in draft form for almost one year. At the Dubna meeting, a final version of this MOU was agreed to and is now in the process of being signed by the international collaborating institutions.
The single issue that caused the most consternation on the committee involved the question of intellectual property rights. This can be a very subtle issue, especially during the R&D phase, where innovation is a fundamental part in the process. For the laboratories that are funded with public funds, it is natural to share the innovations globally, so the entire project benefits from the developments in one laboratory or one region. But much of our work involves using industry, not just to "build to print," but rather to work together with us to develop the most cost effective and highest performing technical components. Sometimes (and we want to encourage it) this involves developments by industry that are not a result of the directly contracted work, and their rights need to be protected is such cases. The final spirit of the agreement in the MOU is that in those cases the contracted party has the right to royalties for their proprietary inventions. To make this work, the contracted work must be very well defined, so there is as little confusion as possible whether any innovations occur as part of the statement of work or are independently developed.
The second big topic of discussion for ILCSC involved how to approach the siting of the ILC. How and when will site proposals be solicited? What information should the GDE study in order to be in a position to give the best possible input to potential bidders? What role will the host play? Jonathan Dorfan, former Director of SLAC, chaired a stimulating special session during the GDE meeting that addressed these and some other questions. As a result of the discussions at Dubna, the ILCSC has decided that they will take the lead in developing a strategy toward siting, and the GDE will help by doing specific studies. Some examples of specific question we will study include shallow sites, single versus double tunnels, as well as more generally developing a set of requirements and desired features to provide to potential hosts.
Lastly, at Dubna we and the ILCSC identified the need to take a new look at various models for governance of a future ILC project, and the GDE will begin such an effort. We want to be prepared to discuss and work with potential hosts and collaborating governments and agencies on possible ways to structure this international project. We plan to survey other models of international collaboration on large projects in physics and astronomy, previous studies for high energy physics and the ILC, as well as develop our own models. We expect to carry out this work over the same time period as the Technical Design Phase (2008-2012). The study will be led by Brian Foster, who serves on the GDE Executive Committee, and he and I will be reporting more about it here as the work gets underway and progresses.

Hundreds of Android phones are released every year, but only a handful of products get all the attention. The big releases are normally saved for the fall shopping season and we are expecting new flagship phones from HTC, Samsung, Motorola, LG, and many more. Read on to see which phones topped our power rankings.
1. Anything Nexus
Why it's hot: The Nexus brand represents an up-to-date, pure Google experience. The original HTC Nexus One was launched back on January 5th, 2010 and it has spawned two more Nexus phones.
Which OEM will make it?: Old rumors from Digitimes reported that Samsung would build the 4th-gen Nexus phone, and then a newer story from the Wall St. Journal said Google was working with multiple OEMs on releasing several Nexus devices. A lot of details are still unknown, which will lead to increased attention and buzz in the coming months.
Expected US carriers: AT&T and T-Mobile for the unlocked phones. It's possible we could see a carrier locked version on Sprint or Verizon, but the unlocked model will be more desirable.
2. Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Why it's hot: Now that the Galaxy S III has hit stores, the rumored Galaxy Note 2 is Samsung's next flagship mobile device. The original Galaxy Note was announced last year at IFA 2011 and the sequel is widely expected to be Unpacked later this month at IFA 2012.
Rumored specs include: 5.5-inch "flexible" AMOLED HD display with Unbreakable Plane (UBP) technology, Exynos 5 Dual processor, 12 megapixel camera, thinner design, and larger battery.
Expected US carriers: AT&T and T-Mobile are likely since they carried the first Note.
3. Next devices in the HTC One series
Why it's hot: HTC had the nicest looking Android phone this year, but AT&T snagged an exclusive and deprived HTC fans on other carriers. Now the refreshed One X+ and rumored phone with 5.5 inch display are looking to bring an enhanced experience to the other carriers.
4-PLUS-1-PLUS: The HTC One X+ could be the first Android phone in the US powered by Tegra 3+. This quad-core chip from NVIDIA will feature CPU speeds up to 1.7 GHz and offer 25% faster graphics performance.
Supersize me: HTC is also rumored to be working on an Android phone with a 5.5 inch display. Possible features include a stylus and a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chip.
Expected US carriers: T-Mobile for One X+, Verizon for One series with 5.5-inch display.
4. Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD
Why it's hot: The Droid series is Verizon's flagship brand for Android phones. Motorola debuted the new RAZR and RAZR MAXX last year which performed well and demanded a follow-up.
What's new this time around: Verizon is rumored to be releasing three versions of the device this year – RAZR HD, RAZR MAXX HD, and RAZR Micro. All devices will feature slimmer designs, improved cameras, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 chip.
Expected US carriers: Verizon
5. LG Eclipse 4G LTE
Why it's hot: LG could be one of the first OEMs to produce an Android phone around the new quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro. This is Qualcomm's first quad-core mobile processor and it features their new Adreno 320 GPU, where performance appears to have doubled from the Adreno 225 found in the current Snapdragon S4 Plus.
Rumored specs according to Briefmobile: 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro with Adreno 320 GPU (APQ8064), 4.67-inch HD display (1280×768), 13-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB internal storage, 4G LTE, NFC, and removable 2100 mAh battery.
Expected US carriers: AT&T, Sprint

What was your total grist, and what was your mash temp/time? Flaked wheat can not self convert so if you did not have enough enzymes in the mash you would need an extra long mash to get good conversion.
so I used 10 lbs flaked white 6 lbs of flaked red wheat 5 lbs 2 -row and 3 lbs of other flavors. I did a 90 minute mash at 150 with a 170 sparge. og was 1.078 and I pitched two tubes wlp320 amer. hefe yeast. I pitched a second starter of wlp320. have not checked reading since I pitched the starter two weeks ago. is this a moot point and because of my grain bill it is all non fermentables left? thanx for your help

Bears, Broncos Getting TDs from Everywhere
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - It's a big boost and a back-breaker rolled into one, the touchdown that comes while the offense is catching its breath on the sideline.
Nobody's been better at that lately than the Chicago Bears and the Denver Broncos.
Trindon Holliday's 76-yard punt return for a score - which came a week after his 105-yard kickoff return for a touchdown at Cincinnati - and Tony Carter's 40-yard interception return marked the 10th and 11th TDs from Denver's defense or special teams since 2011.
While the Broncos' 11 non-offensive TDs over the last season-and-a-half leads the AFC, their output pales in comparison to the Bears' 18 such scores over the last two seasons, including eight so far this year.
