The Author of Our Faith
Text: Hebrews 12:1-3
I. In translating from one language to another, some words just don't fit easily. Some words have multiple possible meanings in another language and figuring out which one of the various possible translations is hard.
A. Harder are the words which have multiple meanings in another language, and it is the combination of all the meanings that is needed.
II. The Greeks had a word call archegos
A. It is a compound of two words which mean beginning (arche) and lead (ago).
B. It has three meanings in English:
1. A pioneer or trailblazer who heroically opens the way for others. We have legends such people in our history: Daniel Boone, Lewis and Clarke
2. The founder or originator, as in the sense of someone who founded a city or started an extend family unit.
3. A leader, prince, or king. Not just someone who rules, but someone who goes first and leads the people.
C. In the Septuagint,
1. This word was used for the heads of households
a. Exodus 6:14 referring the founders of the major clans within each tribe.
b. Also I Chronicles 8:28
2. Leaders among the people
a. Numbers 14:4 - A leader to return to Egypt
b. Numbers 13:3 - Leading men in a tribe
c. Numbers 16:2 - men of renown
3. This is what Jephthah as asked to be - Judges 11:6
a. They wanted a hero to lead Gilead into war and to rule over them.
b. He was to start a new course in Gilead's history
c. Jephthah only agreed if it was to be a permanent position - Judges 11:9
d. And the elders agreed - Judges 11:10-11
e. He ruled for six years - Judges 12:7
III. Archegos is only used four times in the New Testament
A. All four times it is applies to Christ.
B. You'll find a variety of translations for the word as translators try to find the best English word to describe what is meant. But in reality, all three meanings are blended in discussing Christ.
C. Acts 3:14-15 - Peter charges the Jews of killing the archegos of life
1. Jesus was the originator of all life - Colossians 1:16-17
2. But he also was the trailblazer to eternal life - Colossians 1:18; I Corinthians 15:20-23; John 5:21-29
3. And in doing so he becomes our head in life - Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 1:22
D. Acts 5:30-32 - God exalted Jesus to be archegos and Savior and Hebrews 2:10 - the archegos of salvation
1. Jesus is the beginning - Revelation 1:8
2. He is the beginning of salvation
a. No other name - Acts 4:11-12
b. The antitype of Adam - Romans 5:14-19
3. He leads the saved - Ephesians 5:23-26
4. The word "Savior" or "deliverer" is strongly associated with the Judges in the Old Testament. These are men God picked to deliver the people from their enemies, who then ruled over the people.
a. John 8:32-36 - Jesus makes us truly free
b. II Timothy 1:8-10 - Saved us in a purpose that dates back before time and so he is our Lord
E. Hebrews 12:2 - the archegos and perfecter of our faith
1. In one way, Abraham is the father of the faithful - Romans 4:11
a. But he is not the archegos of faith. He didn't originate faith. He doesn't rule us.
b. Abraham look for another - John 8:56
2. Jesus is the focus of our faith - John 3:18; 6:40; 8:24
3. He gave us reason to believe - John 20:30-31
a. Which results in our salvation - I Peter 1:8-9
4. It is to Christ people appealed to for more faith
a. The father of the demon possessed boy - Mark 9:24
b. The disciples - Luke 17:5
5. He lead the way - Philippians 2:8
a. Hebrews 5:8-9 - "author" is a different word, it means the cause.
b. We look to him - Hebrews 12:3
c. As God challenged - Isaiah 45:22
6. As a result he rules - Hebrews 1:1-3
a. Hebrews 2:7-10
b. It is why we call him our Lord - I Timothy 1:12-17
IV. It is good not to lose sight of the richness of meaning found in the original language.
A. Now that you know more of what the Bible speaks of Jesus, what will you do this day?
B. Do you follow the archegos of life, salvation, and faith?
C. The alternative only leads to death.

Glenn Greenwald discovered that in 2002, Sen. Mike DeWine proposed loosening the standards for domestic surveillance in a significantly more modest way than the President's controversial program. DeWine's proposal would have lowered the standard for obtaining a warrant for surveillance of foreigners within the United States from "probable cause" to "reasonable suspicion." The administration (and Congress) rejected DeWine's proposal as unnecessary and potentially unconstitutional.
Greenwald's find has attracted the attention of the media and provoked a response from the administration. Here is Justice Department spokesperson Tasia Scolinos:
The FISA "probable cause" standard is essentially the same as the "reasonable basis" standard used in the terrorist surveillance program. The "reasonable suspicion" standard, which is lower than both of these, is not used in either program.
There are two fundamental problems with this argument:
1. It completely contradicts what the administration said earlier this week. Scolinos claims "reasonable basis" is pretty much the same as "probable cause." On Monday, Michael Hayden — former NSA director and currently Deputy Director of National Intelligence — said that Bush's warrantless domestic surveillance program was started precisely because it lowered the standard in a significant way.
2. The legal analysis is wrong. Scolinos falsely claims that "reasonable suspicion" is a "lower" standard than "reasonable basis." The term "reasonable basis" has no real meaning in 4th Amendment jurisprudence. To the extent that "reasonable basis" does have meaning, it's used interchangeably with "reasonable suspicion." For example, in the Supreme Court case of Florida v. J.L., Justice Ginsburg wrote: "The officers, prior to the frisks, had a reasonable basis for suspecting J.L. of engaging in unlawful conduct: The reasonableness of official suspicion must be measured by what the officers knew before they conducted their search."
The administration's effort to kill this story isn't off to a good start.

In October I had the opportunity to attend the North American Sea Glass Festival in Lewes, DE. The festival featured many talented artists from sea glass jewelry to sculpture. For a sea glass lover and collector, it was my heaven on earth! 2008 was the first year that the festival was held on the east coast. Next year's festival will be held in Erie, PA on October 17 and 18, 2009. I am hoping to make my way to the Lake Erie coast next year as well for another wonderful sea glass gathering!
Every year the North American Sea Glass Association holds a "Shard of the Year" Contest. Collectors from all over the world bring their prized pieces of glass hoping to a chance at the $1,000 prize.
Shard of the Year Contest Table
The festival also offers many workshops about the history of sea glass, origins and where to find it. I attended a few of the lectures, one with Pure Sea Glass author Richard LaMotte. He even signed my copy of the book! The book is a great resource for any sea glass collector.

Herbie Hancock (b. 1940) is an Academy Award- and Grammy award-winning American jazz pianist and composer. He embraced elements of rock, funk, electro, and soul while adopting freer stylistic elements from jazz.
In the 1980s, Hancock made an appearance on Sesame Street. Maria and the Kids visit him in the studio where he demonstrates what a Fairlight CMI synthesizer can do with Tatyana Ali's voice. The segment closes with a rendition of the "Sesame Street Theme" as played by Hancock.

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) are membrane bound kinases that are activated upon binding of receptor specific ligands. They make up the largest class of membrane receptors that trigger signaling cascades through their inherent enzymatic activity. These structures, activation mechanisms and key components of the signaling pathways are highly conserved in metazoans. There are 58 known RTKs in humans, which are grouped into 20 classes depending on topology.
RTKs are fairly promiscuous receptors, and activating stimuli comprise a plethora of growth factors, hormones, and cytokines. Most RTKs form dimers and become active upon ligand binding. The active RTK phosphorylates activators of downstream signaling cascades such as NF-kB, MAPK, Ca2+ dependent signaling, and the JAK-STAT pathway.
RTKs affect a wide spectrum of processes ranging from cytoskeleton dynamics, cell growth and differentiation to inflammation, apoptosis, and tumor progression. In spite of the exceptionally high variety of receptors and outcomes, RTKs engage only a limited set of core processes. Therefore, quantitative analysis of factors like an RTK's expression profile are crucial for the understanding of the signaling processes and predicting qualitative outcomes.

I don't know about you but I LOVE food and eating! And I'm a snacker, so I like to nibble all day. Before when I was overweight I unknowingly used to snack on foods that made me feel lethargic, tired and low in energy and make me FAT.
But these days things have changed a little. I am still snacking ... But know I know the importance of choosing energy foods, and what makes something an ENERGY giving food, I purposefully choose to snack on health-giving, life-giving and energy-giving foods.
Maybe you've never thought much about this? But, think about what types of food you snack on during the day?
There are 2 types of snacks.
There are 2 types of snacks - savoury and sweet. My favourite savoury snacks are celery and carrots cut into sticks and dipped in lots of creamy hummous. For sweet snacks I choose the L'Arabars and Nakd Food snack bars that taste delicious and sweet but have all NATURAL sweeteners and ingredients. And more of a summer treat but, have you ever tried frozen grapes?
Oh, and also spelt flour bread with Raisins (seriously, it tastes like cake and is great with a hot steaming cup of fresh herbal tea!).... I'm feeling hungry just writing this..... I'm going to grab myself a snack now...
Eat well, keep snacking and feel great!

This is part of a series looking back at the first five interviews we did on Whipped Cream. This interview originally appeared on our site on July 1, 2008.
Whipped Cream is excited to welcome Amelia June, author of steamy erotic stories and novels who never uses words like "flower" or "manhood." Her first story, "The Scary Ghost," was self-published when she was five and she's never looked back.
She finds herself outnumbered in the desert southwest, though, where she lives with seven—yes, seven—male creatures including two children, one husband, and an array of critters. She's a self-confessed eavesdropper, fiber-aholic (but not the whole wheat kind; the yarn kind), and she gets weekly pedicures from her husband.
I asked her, as an erotic fiction author, what some of her favorites are. "I'm a big fan of erotica that is more than sex scenes strung together with a loose part," she said. "I'm a huge Megan Hart fan. Lauren Dane's Witch's Knot series is a wonderful one as well. I also absolutely love Jacqueline Carey's books, and while you can't call them 'erotic fiction,' they are some of the most sensual, well written books I've ever experienced. And they're super hot, too."
Amelia told me she had wanted to write erotic stories since high school. "I didn't set out to write romance," she said. "As it is, my stories skirt the boundary between romance and other genres--science fiction, or fantasy, or thriller, etc. But I discovered that I really enjoy a love story (or two, hee hee). So I guess I came to erotic romance backwards--I came from the erotica side of things."
We discussed the difference between porn and erotic romance and Amelia made the point, "Stories written to turn someone on are just that, and I don't think erotic romance is all that different." Personally, she doesn't have a problem with porn. "The reason I enjoy writing erotic romance," she told me, "is that I can take erotic scenes and add them to a greater context of story. I know many romance readers have expectations of their stories--the HEA and various other conventions of the genre that make the story enjoyable to them. But for me, the difference between written "porn" and erotic romance is pretty slim when you get right down to it. What I try to do is incorporate the sexuality in a larger context, so that fans of erotica and fans of romance both get what they're looking for."
I asked Amelia how her writing path evolved. "I would say my path is still evolving, probably always will," she replied. "But how I got from there to here is summed up in one word—NaNoWriMo. Is that a word?" Her first novel, Triple X, was written during National Novel Writing Month in 2005 and was an Eppie 2008 finalist. She told me, "I wanted to write a menage story, because I loved reading them and I find them uber hot. I also wanted to write about a subject that was important to me. I never really considered pursuing epublishing until I read a few epublished novels and thought maybe I would have a market for my work after all. I love epublishing, I love the freedom it gives me to explore concepts and ideas that traditional publishing might not be open to at this time. Plus, my writing skills have been honed and shaped since then as well, each story I write gets better in terms of skill." She added, laughing, "I mean, I hope so anyway."
Amelia has had many books published so I asked her what advice she would give to new authors. "In the immortal words of Dory the fish," she said, "Just keep swimming. Writing is a hard, hard process and that is before you even attempt publication. So just keep going."
Just for fun, I asked her, "If you had to pierce a body part, what would you pierce and why?" She answered, "Apart from the three ear holes and nose piercing I already have? Probably my eyebrow, because I really think that is a hot piercing. I love it on pretty much every face type. Piercing is a very painful, if brief, process, but I discovered that the endorphine rush you get from the experience is quite erotic (and I'm not much of a pain person, usually!). As for the look of piercings, I think a pierced-up person gives an air of 'off the beaten path' that is hot. Plus, you know they can take a lot of pain." Imagine an evil laugh here. :-)
And, she shared with me that her dad can tie a cherry stem with her tongue. Then she said, "Ew. Why do I know that?"
You can see more about her books and her fiberholicism on her blog. She told me she learned to crochet as a stress reliever and "I became completely hooked." She also added, "I absolutely love the patterns that are out there these days--knitting and crocheting are not just for nanas anymore (until I am one, anyhow). Knitting is something I'm still learning, but hand me a hook and some yarn and I'm happy for hours. You can see some of my projects on my blog, because I like to torture readers with my other hobbies as well as my excerpts and general rambling!"

text: This is a series I grew up loving when I was a child! I remember having AR quizzes on these books when I was younger.They tell the story of the Baudelaire children who are orphaned after losing their parents in a fire. The novels describe the journey these children go through to protect their parents fortune and the mischief they become involved in. It is a great series to get children interested in reading with. The books would be good in 5th or 6th grade and the series as a whole has a lexile level of around 1010L for each book. For the classroom, I think it would be hard to cover the whole series, so you could create a book club for students to join and have these series as a fun after school book to read with friends. The books would also be good to use for summer reading.

is one of the most beautiful in Greece full of little
streams, bridges and parks. There are many small
kataraktes (waterfalls) throughout the town and one
big one which is the main attraction. The town
sits on a ledge overlooking a vast agricultural plain
that extends all the way to Thessaloniki. There are
several good places to eat including the Omonia

nameless restaurant diagonally opposite the bus
station. There are 8 trains a day to Thessaloniki as
well as hourly buses. The train ride along the shore
of Lake Vegoritida is especially beautiful. Be sure to

I am rehoming my Purebred English Bulldog puppies Female and male, 12 weeks old. They are
also very healthy! They are up to date on shots with their vet papers (vaccination, etc.)
. They are crate trained, housebroken, okay on a leash (they follows you if you let go of
the leash), and knows tricks or commands! they can sit, shake, high five, lay down, and
roll over. They are great with kids and we are not sure but seems to be okay with other
dogs. The only problem is they gets a little aggressive if you try to snatch their toys,
but they doesnt need toys if you give them lot of attention. They are a good sleeping
Buddy but they hates if you raise your voice, so if your kid(s) yell loud this probably
isnt your dogs. Sadly we cannot keep them because my family is moving and they do not
allow dogs in our new place. We want them to go to a great home that gives them lots of love.

Lehigh County massage parlor's neighbors suspected prostitution, glad to see Aries Spa closed
Aries Spa
Police say Aries Spa in Lehigh County was a prostitution front. (Precious Petty | lehighvalleylive.com)

The Lehigh County business authorities say was a front for prostitution has been a source of complaints for years, according to court records.
South Whitehall Township police have been receiving complaints about Aries Spa, 3333 Hamilton Blvd., since 2008. There were complaints about male customers entering and exiting through the business' rear door and suspected sexual activity inside the spa, as well as concerns that employees were living there, records say.
Carol Greenwalt owns Dorneyville Beverage, which is just a few doors down from Aries Spa. She's among those who lodged complaints about the business.
"I'm glad it finally happened," Greenwalt said of the spa's closure "We would call and make complaints to South Whitehall Township ... since the day it opened."
Other Dorneyville Shopping Center business owners have long suspected illegal activity at Aries Spa, Greenwalt said. "I'm glad it's gone because it hurt our business," she said. "People didn't want to come here because they know what was going on."
Police have conducted periodic surveillance at the massage parlor, but were unable to establish probable cause and secure a search warrant until last week, according to the county district attorney's office.
Township police and the Lehigh County Drug Task Force on Thursday afternoon executed a search warrant at the spa and arrested five women accused of trading sexual favors for cash, as well as a sixth woman accused of managing the establishment.
New York residents Jinyu Yu Yang, 43; Xian Shun Zi, 37; Gui Yue Xu, 51; Kim Young Soon, 55; and Sun Mi Lee, 36, are each charged with a single misdemeanor count of prostitution. They were arraigned before District Judge Wayne Maura and sent to county jail in lieu of $10,000 bail each.
Pun Son Hutcheson, a 61-year-old Connecticut resident, is charged with a single felony count of promoting prostitution. She's in jail in lieu of $25,000 bail.
Authorities seized $12,000 cash, condoms, a laptop, a tablet, cellphones and paperwork during their search of the spa. The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security assisted with the investigation of Aries Spa.
County drug task force Detective Chad Moyer in November 2008 followed up on the complaints, conducted surveillance and made contact with an Aries Spa customer, records say. The customer told the detective he'd paid $200 for an hour-long massage and at its conclusion the masseuse had performed a sex act on him, records say.
The building's owner, Haresh Joshi, in November relayed his suspicions about prostitution at Aries Spa to police, telling them he'd asked employees to stop letting customers access the rear door, records say. He also told authorities other businesses in the shopping center had complained about the establishment.
Joshi told police he hired a private investigator who in September visited the spa, paid $70 for a 50-minute massage that concluded with a "happy ending," or a sex act, records say. The investigator afterward tipped the masseuse.
A second investigator hired by Joshi visited the spa later that month and had a similar experience, however, the masseuse had sex with him in addition to performing a sex act, records say. The investigators supplied Joshi with a notarized affidavit recounting their visits to the spa.
Authorities in October conducted surveillance at Aries Spa and saw a number of men enter the business and exit after spending about an hour inside, records say. Investigators subsequently found the spa listed on websites such as spa hunters.com and rubmaps.com.
In the following months, authorities pulled over men as they left the spa and some of them helped police identify Aries Spa employees who'd traded sexual favors for cash, records say. The men were not charged.

Six women arrested for prostitution at Aries Spa
SOUTH WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP, Pa.
- Six women have been arrested on prostitution charges in South Whitehall Township. The prostitution occurred inside Aries Spa in the Dorneyville Shopping Center at 3333 Hamilton Blvd. in the township, according to police. Male customers who went to Aries Spa for massages were offered "happy endings" -- masturbation, oral sex or intercourse for additional fees, according to police.
Quick Clicks Phantoms fall at Hershey in Akeson's return Amanda's wet,slick,cold Forecast Roads improving after Sunday morning flash freeze Bellante Properties will pay $19,120 to resolve allegations Emmaus Council approves buying Rodale building for $2.95 million South Whitehall police, the FBI and the Lehigh County Drug Task Force entered the business with a search warrant at 1:17 p.m. Thursday.
Arrested were 55-year-old Kim Young Soon, also known as Penny; 51-year-old Xu Gui Yue, aka Mya; 42-year-old Jinyu Yang, aka Candy; 35-year-old Sun Mi Lee, aka GeGe, and 36-year-old Xian Shun Zi, aka Sara. All five gave police home addresses in Flushing, Queens, N.Y. All five face prostitution charges that are misdemeanors of the third degree. Two men stopped by police after leaving the business on Wednesday identified Shun Zi as the woman who had performed sex acts on them that day. Pun Son Hutcheson, 61, of Vernon, Conn., was charged with promoting prostitution, a felony.
One of the men stopped by police Wednesday said Hutcheson brought three women to the front for him to choose from. Hutcheson told police she only did laundry, cleaning and cooking. She denied any knowledge of condoms being used or even in the business. But police found a stash of of condoms hidden in the kitchen and laundry room area where Hutcheson said she worked. Law enforcement personnel seized $12,000 in cash, condoms, documents, cell phones, a tablet and a lap top at the spa. South Whitehall police received complaints about possible sexual activity at the spa as far back as 2008, including many male patrons entering and exiting the rear of the building. There also were concerns about female employees living in the establishment. Some men still were trying to get into the place on Friday.
"They were disappointed, I guess," said Mario Scotto, who owns a pizza shop next to Aries. He said one man asked him why the door was locked. He told him the place was shut down because "they got caught" and added: "The party is over." Scotto is surprised it took police so long to close the place, because what was going on there was obvious.
"After awhile, people knew what is was."
He's glad it's been closed because it was not good for his business.
"Being here in a shopping center like this is not good."
"I just thought this is so creepy in a family-oriented strip mall," said JoAnn Basist of South Whitehall.
She said she became outraged and called police after she did an Internet search of Aries Spa and "very easily" found out what was going on inside. The Lehigh County Drug Task Force also began investigating Aries Spa in late 2008, according to court documents. Police conducted periodic surveillance of the business between 2008 and 2014 but were unable to establish probable cause to obtain a search warrant, explained Lehigh County District Attorney James Martin in a news release.
Last fall, police received additional information and were able to cultivate confidential informants who provided sufficient evidence to obtain a search warrant, reported the district attorney. In October, police put the business under surveillance and located customer "testimonials" on Internet sites about sexual favors they received at Aries Spa in exchange for tips. In November, the building's owner, Haresh Joshi, complained to police about sexual activity inside the business. He said he stopped patrons from using the rear entrance.
Joshi told police he had received complaints about Aries Spa from several other businesses in the shopping center. Joshi said he had hired private investigators who paid $70 for massages lasting about 50 minutes. Those private investigators then received "happy endings" -- sex acts at the conclusion of their massages -- from the female employees. They gave those employees tips.
On Nov. 10, police stopped a man who has just left Aries Spa. He admitted that he also paid $70 to the lady in charge when he entered the place and an additional $50 for oral sex from a female employee he indentified as Bebe. On Wednesday, police stopped two more males who were driving away from Aries Spa. Both also said they paid $70 at the door for massages.
One man had a female employee perform masturbation on him for an additional $30. The other man paid an additional $130 for sexual intercourse with a female employee.

A middle-aged man walked past the pizza shop at a South Whitehall strip mall Friday morning, his head down as he made a beeline for Aries Spa.
The man tugged at the door a few times, but it was locked.
"It's closed, buddy," Mario Scotto, owner of Mario's Pizza Cafe, told the man. "They're not coming back."
After several years of complaints to township officials, police and their landlord, Scotto and other business owners at the Dorneyville Shopping Center on Hamilton Boulevard say they've finally got what they wanted.
On Thursday afternoon, Lehigh County Drug Task Force detectives, South Whitehall police and the FBI shut down Aries Spa, arresting six women on prostitution charges, according to court records. Detectives seized $12,000, condoms, various documents and electronics.
Nearby storeowner reacts to South Whitehall massage parlor bust
This is Carol Greenwalt. She owns Dorneyville Beverage, located a few doors away from Aries Spa, which was busted on Thursday as a front for prostitution.
The women, ranging in age from 36 to 61, are from New York and Connecticut.
The sting at Aries Spa was long overdue, according to business owners at the shopping center.
"Finally," said Carol Greenwalt, owner of Dorneyville Beverage. "It's about time. It only took three years."
Actually, according to court records, the first complaints were registered in 2008, shortly after the spa opened at 3333 Hamilton Blvd.
According to a criminal complaint:
South Whitehall police received several complaints about possible prostitution from 2008 to 2014. A Lehigh County detective acted on the complaints, staking out the spa on Nov. 7, 2008, and stopping a man who walked out.
The man told the detective he just paid $200 for an hour for a massage from a female masseuse. When the massage was finished, the masseuse flipped him over, undressed and performed a sex act on him, the man said.
Court records do not say why no one was charged at the time. Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin said Friday that police conducted periodic surveillance of the business between 2008 and 2014, but were unable to establish probable cause to obtain a search warrant. Late last year, strip mall owner Haresh Joshi contacted police to tell them he still suspected prostitution going on at the spa. Joshi said business owners at the strip mall repeatedly complained to him about the spa and about the men coming and going at the rear of the building.
Because of the complaints, Joshi said he stopped letting the spa use the rear entrance and also hired a private investigator.
Mario's Pizza Cafe owner talks about bust at Aries spa
This is Mario Scotto, owner of Mario's Pizza Cafe in the Dorneyville Shopping Center. He reacts to a sting at a massage parlor next to his pizzeria.
Joshi's investigator went to the spa on Sept. 12, paid $70 when he entered the spa and got a 50-minute massage followed by a "happy ending," a sex act. The private investigator left a tip for the masseuse, then returned two days later with the same results.
Lehigh County detectives conducted surveillance on the spa for five hours on Oct. 6, watching nine men enter and exit the building. Each man spent about an hour in the spa.
The detectives searched the business on the Internet, finding adult websites that gave descriptions from customers about sex they received.
The detectives conducted more days of surveillance at the spa, again seeing men come and go at all hours. Police stopped a man leaving the business on Nov. 10 and asked him what happened inside. The man said he paid a woman $70 as soon as he entered, then got a massage and oral sex from a masseuse named Bebe. He left her a $50 tip.
A business has a right to complain about these spas. These mongers are sketchy looking men. Spahunter.com is whining about not getting the chance to pay for sexton now. Eccie.net is another site that puts out a lot of information on what your neighbor is doing when they get 50 guys in for...
Police conducted a traffic stop on Wednesday afternoon, questioning a male driver leaving the spa about his visit. The man told police he paid the $70 entrance fee, followed by a massage and oral sex. The man gave the masseuse, a woman named Candy, an $80 tip.
Another man was stopped at 12:58 p.m. Thursday and gave the same story. Minutes after that stop, detectives and police moved in, searched the spa and arrested several women.
Several other men were stopped and questioned Wednesday and Thursday.
Those charged are Flushing, Queens, residents Jin Yu Yang, 43, also known as Candy; Sun Mi Lee, 36, also known as GeGe; Guie Yue Xu, 51, also known as Mya; Xian Sun Zi, 37, also known as Sara; Kim Young Soon, 55, also known as Penny. Pun Son Hutcheson, 61, from Vernon, Conn., was identified as the spa manager.
All the women face prostitution charges. They were arraigned Friday by District Judge Wayne Maura and sent to Lehigh County Jail. Hutcheson was sent to jail on $25,000 bail and the others on $10,000 bail.
The men have not been charged.
Scotto said police took several women out of the back of the building and Hutcheson out the front. He said it felt good to finally see the place raided.
"This is a family place," he said. "We have lots of kids coming here."
Just the sign "AIRES" identifies the business.
"There's nothing on the front windows, the shades are all the way down and as soon as you walked in, there were partitions so you couldn't see anything further than the partition," Greenwalt said.
The front of the spa is a waiting room where a customer would ring a door bell to get buzzed in by someone monitoring a surveillance camera.
Spa customers would park as far away as possible, then walk straight to the spa, trying to avoid being detected, Greenwalt said. Some would park on the other side of Hamilton Boulevard and dash across the busy road. Until a few months ago, they mostly entered through the back.
According to adult Web forums that specialize in the underground world of erotic massage parlors, Aries Spa is one of the most reviewed and highest-rated locations in the area. Besides talking up experiences at the spa, people commented on prices and ways to avoid being detected during visits.
One wrote, "I recommend parking closer to the Chicken Lounge. You get weird looks walking past the pizza place next door."
Greenwalt and Scotto said they both feel business at the shopping center took a hit because of the spa.
"They would have more customers than I did," Scotto said.
Scotto said he's hopeful things will go back to the way things were before the spa moved in next door. Before Aries Spa bought the building, it was home to a nonprofit group that provided care for young pregnant women.
"I feel pretty good about it. I'm happy they're gone."

Eun Hug Heo, 38, Kyoung Hee Yoo, 34, Xingyue Xu, 36 and Chong Ok LeBlanc, 59, were arrested Wednesday at Bali Spa located at 9533 Parkway East by vice detectives with the Birmingham Police Department.
LeBlanc was charged with operating a house of prostitution, Yoo and Xu were charged with residing in a house of prostitution and Heo was charged with soliciting prostitution. The suspects have addresses from various states.
Police raided the spa 19 days ago and arrested four women and a man on charges of loitering for prostitution and drugs as well as operating a house of prostitution.

O'Asian Wellness and Spa in Boca Raton used for prostitution, police say
Three women arrested

A Boca Raton spa was a front for prostitution, according to an affidavit filed in Palm Beach County court.
According to the document, police first received a tip about O'Asian Wellness and Spa on January 1, 2012.
The anonymous complaint accused the spa at 2499 Glades Road, Suite 113, of being a massage parlor with an all-male customer base.
Between June 5, 2013 and May 20, 2014 police say they stopped and interviewed 12 male customers and all but one admitted they either engaged in a sex act with a female employee or were solicited by an employee for a sexual act.
The average massage cost about $70 per hour or $50 per half hour, not including a tip, police noted.
Investigators identified 50-year-old Xiaoqin Li of Sunny Isles Beach as the owner. They have charged her with money laundering, deriving support from the proceeds of prostitution, maintaining a house of prostitution and an offer to commit prostitution.
In addition, police arrested 40-year-old Yan Lin and 54-year-old Exian Zheng. Both were charged with prostitution.

Police: Woman ran prostitution operation out of Boca spa
11:08 a.m. Tuesday, June 10, 2014 | Filed in: Crime
The O'Asian Wellness and Spa across from the mall at Town Center in Boca Raton was a thinly disguised but sophisticated house of prostitution that pulled down more than $10,000 a month by charging its exclusively male clientele for "happy endings" and more in its massage rooms, investigators say.
Last week, Boca Raton police arrested Xiaoqin Li, 50 for her role allegedly running the illegal business.

She remained in jail Tuesday, held without bond and facing charges that include money laundering, running a house of prostitution and living off the earnings of those acts.
An anonymous tip to the Boca Raton police department more than two years ago sparked the investigation that tracked the business through state records, examined the owner's bank accounts and even rooted through reviews of the spa's 'services' online.
At some point, investigators also conducted traffic stops of a dozen of the spa's apparent clients to determine what services they got and how much they paid for them. They also got permission to plant video surveillance inside the business.
The spa advertised on backpage.com and its services were reviewed by paying members of Rubmaps.com, where members rate their experiences at local massage parlors, according to Li's arrest report.
Investigators say those reviews detailed the sex acts that the women at the spa "performed or would allow" — the reviews also described the women including their height, weight, ethnicity and breast size. According to the investigator's report, "O'Asian Wellness Spa has its own page with multiple postings."
The arrest report said clients were charged an entrance fee — typically $70 for an hour. The client then tipped $15 to $50 for "depending on their experience." Most paid cash, the report said.
At one point, health department officials paid a visit to the spa and suspected the female employees were living in rooms on the business' second floor.
Li reported business earnings to the state of about $917 a month; her bank accounts reflected income closer to $11,200 a month. And the investigator said he believed "there is a significant amount of cash being generated by the business which Li is not depositing into any bank account(s) which she has at her disposal."
Li's home address is listed in Sunny Isles Beach in Miami-Dade County. Two women who investigators said were employed by Li were also arrested, but have posted bonds to be released from jail.

ANDERSON, SC (FOX Carolina) -
The Anderson County Sheriff's Office and the Anderson Police Department combined forces in a prostitution sting that resulted in seven arrests, according to Lt. Sheila Cole with the sheriff's office.
Cole said officers simultaneously entered six businesses throughout the county and posed as customers. The businesses were Ivy Spa, 2510 River Road, Piedmont; Bally Spa, 2 Halter Drive, Piedmont; VIP Spa, 3145 Cinema Center Boulevard, Anderson; Spring Spa, 95 Welpine Road, Anderson; Lucky Spa, 121 East-West Parkway, Anderson; and Sun Spa, 3312 North Main Street, Anderson. Cole said there were no licensed massage therapists at any of the businesses.
Cole said 14 deputies and 10 police officers participated in the operation, along with two investigators from the South Carolina Department of Revenue.
Six women were charged with prostitution during the sting, Cole said. Those women are Kyung Suk Woo, 56, of Duluth Georgia; Jung Ja Kim, 59, of Torrance California; Kyung Mi Haar, 46, of Doraville, Georgia; Sun Ah Cho, 33, of Anderson; Chom Suk Brantley, 61, of Raleigh, North Carolina; and Donna Lee, 52, of Duluth, Georgia.
Deputies also discovered that So Yeon Kim, 36, of Anderson, South Carolina was wanted in California. She was arrested and a fugitive from justice warrant was issued, Cole said.
The DOR investigators were there to review financial aspects of each business and seized money at all locations, Cole said. The Sheriff's Office seized $5,492.00 and Anderson Police seized $500.00.
Six suspects were transported to the Anderson County Detention Center, with the exception of Donna Lee, who was transported to the Anderson City Detention Center.

For those who missed it, I've now updated the Rules thread with this season's schedule, as nobody seemed to object to our proposed changes for the year. I've also taken the opportunity to update some of the more outdated information within the thread as a fair bit has changed in the last few years.
Oh, and we've had no EAB votes yet... just saying

Well done for being first off the bat. However I'm afraid that Lamborghini American Challenge isn't eligible as it's identical to Crazy Cars III which has already been played so could you change it please?

I'm really glad to see Rock'n'Roll getting some love. I suggested it last year but it didn't get any traction. I did have a method in mind - using level codes we could play maybe 4 or 5 different levels and speedrun them, so we'd post times of each level and add up all the times to get a final score (much like Lemmings). For practical purposes, I thought we could accept a screenshot of the ball overlapping the exit panel as a completion as people playing on real Amigas would only have a second to take their picture after rolling the ball over the exit hole before the time disappeared (when using level codes, you don't get to see the timing score screen - you are taken back to the main menu when completing each level).
I had a few levels in mind as well. I thought level 5 would be a good one to start with as it introduces most if not all of the different gameplay elements, and an expert player can complete it in as little as a minute and a half, so it's a good introductory level to explore, learn and then find ways to cut down your time. Then some of the larger maze levels, perhaps 10, 22 and 32, although I can look into exactly which ones would be best if the mods like (maybe the mods have their own ideas already?). However there are some absolute stinker levels out there. Level 25 is horrendous and Level 29 is literally impossible so we should be picky about which ones we go for. Unfortunately I don't think that level 1 is suitable as there is a shortcut which means it can be completed in 30 seconds if you know it.
Alternatively we could just play for points, but point scoring gems are relatively few and far between, meaning each game would last a very long time going through the same levels over and over again with each play just trying to get a bit further, I don't think that would be much fun personally.

There's just over 24 hours left to vote. It's exceptionally close between several games, and Lonewolf10 is also yet to use his double vote which could shake things up still further...

You really could tell us what games are leading instead of making us waste our math skills
I'll try to participate the WHOLE year this time (less stuff happening in 2017 I believe), but I must admit some of the games receving votes really makes me want to quit early. Lemon guys need to vote for some GOOD games damn it.

The fact I don't say what they are is a deliberate choice so I don't influence any future votes. It isn't too difficult to get a decent idea though

It's all over, and a busy last few hours certainly affected things. It was very close in the end. (* = affected by double voting power)
1. Rick Dangerous 2 - 23
2. Winter Games - 21
3. Rainbow Islands - 20
4. Super Cars - 18*
5. Rock 'n' Roll - 17
Total votes: 15 - Total games voted for: 35
So, it's a second fix of Sir Richard of Dangerous for us in the first round of the year. Stay tuned.

There are two things I remember from english classes in highschool that I really enjoyed. John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men and an animated version of Macbeth which I never seen the whole of.
Part of the thing that makes them stick in my mind is that I seemed to be one of the few that actually enjoyed them both. I suspect they really did enjoy these things but did not want to admit it because these stories are "good for you",, but I can't really tell. After we watched the animation, everyone was saying "That was so crap", but I think they felt threatened,, not that they were scared, but people always hate something all the more if they think they were supposed to be scared and have to assure everyone that they were not scared.
Here is the Macbeth animation by Nikolai Serebryakov, with a voice by Brian Cox, some incredible faces, but the highlight is easily the shapeshifting withces. Serebryakov also did Othello. I bought Shakespear Animated Tales box set recently and it contains 12 of these animated stories...
Unfortunately, this guy hardly did much animation, but here is the best thing I could find,, not in English, but it is so good you wont even care, great music too...
I've noticed in a lot of films I have enjoyed lately, they are restrained and dont like to give the audience obvious satisfactions. 13 Tzameti had a moment in it where it could have showed you something, but you didnt need to see it because you knew exactly what happened. The director is doing an american remake with a cast that suggests that the audience probably will want the obvious satisfaction, I'm curious to see what they will do with it. The situation in the story may not reappear, but I'm curious to know how it will be handled.
If you still dont know what I'm talking about, I mean those annoying parts in movies that seem to be in there only to empower the audience, my examples are Relic, Carpenter's The Thing and one of the Alien films. The moments where the hero says "You bitch" or "fuck you" before they kill the monster. I hate these audience empowering moments,, I'd rather the audience felt helpless and hopeless. Perhaps these are from the studio interfering, because it seems to be catering to the people who need to be assured that guns and explosives can overcome any obstacle.
I hope I havent written this before, because I've had it in my head for a year and I feel like I might have written it before.

These are really interesting. Thanks Robert. I love the surreal transformations and gloomy atmosphere in Macbeth I also remember reading Macbeth in school, but we watched the Polanski version, which is good, too. Unlike myself, my teacher hadn't seen it before and was rather shocked by all the gore. I think at some points she was inclined to turn off the video recorder.
I enjoyed your thoughts about audience empowerment. I agree that art is usually better when somehow it doesn't give the audience what it wants, when it kind of says "shut up and watch! this is about art, not about you!"

31 Days to a Better Blog – Day 9: Advertising on your site…how can this work for non-profits?
Thursday, August 9th, 2007
Today's challenge by Prologger Darren Rowse was to run an advertising audit on your blog. Like many of the rest of us taking part in the challenge (see here for background information as to what it is about), it possibly isn't relevant to the types of blogs involved in this challenge and to our aimed readership.
Saying that though, I have had two requests for support from non-profits this week alone, about advertising on their websites to help bring in some extra income. One wanted to explore the idea of 'sympathetic' advertising using other national organisations with helplines that may help some of the users of their youth orientated website. Another just wanted to understand how advertising worked and could they have a go at it. I personally don't want advertising on my own site, and I know that on one of the forums I connect with, that advertising was frowned upon at first by the users and it did create some great debate, but it did lever extra monies to enable it to keep afloat in it's early days, and now their project is being supported enough not to rely on advertising. So instead of totally discounting it, how can we explore if it does have any relevance for non profits and charities?
So what does Darren suggest about todays task?
"Run an Advertising Audit on Your Blog. I know that not everyone doing this project is making money through advertising.
It's easy to set up advertising on your blog and to spend time optimizing it but then let it run the same way without ever giving it much more thought.
Take some time out to think strategically about the design and placement of your ads.
- What could you do differently?
- Would using a different size ad make them perform better?
- Would changing the colors have an impact?"
These are very valid tips for those either using or thinking of using advertising on their sites.
I especially resonated with the last point. If you do feel inclined to use advertising, colour and the overall design layout can make a huge impact to lessen the burden of those adverts. Some of my favourite sites and blogs for resources and inspiration with web design and coding place advertising in the most awful cumbersome places which as a reader, don't help to convey the message that the site is aiming to deliver. Or more likely, my line of reading is displaced from adverts blocking the content where I'd like to see it! Broken articles with adverts plonked in the middle really turns me off.
One example I saw (I'm not into naming and shaming) was of a learning site introducing to the internet for new webusers. It aimed to help enable new web users to feel safe with surfing. It had their well written articles on one half of the page, with totally inappropriate advertising on the other half of the page, which to the average reader totally confused the message they were giving! I'd met the tutor at an ICT conference to encourage use of the internet with non-profits; and thought her seminar workshop was great. She promoted to the participants when they got home and follow up with the excercises on her website. What must they have thought, feeling safe finally with computers after their workshop, to get bombarded with so many mixed messages?
Good design can help. If you really feel you need the advertising element to keep your site afloat, there are some good examples of some well thought out design which although carries heavy advertising, has been designed brilliantly to pull your eyes to the content rather than the advertising.
One of my favourite sites that I follow for light relief, is the excellent Spare Room blog. Really good design, colour with impact, and yes, supported by alot of advertising too. It's nothing to do with non-profit technology or such, but I like it as a good design example, where it can carry and cope with the advertising in a balance of harmony with it's content.
So, maybe as a non-profit you don't want advertising directly on your site, but still want to use advertising in a way that can reach new supporters of your cause? How can this be achieved?
In the UK (and other countries) Google, offers it's Google Grants programme which offers free advertising for not profits that qualify, that raises not only awareness but traffic to your site.
This is what Google says about it:
The Google Grants UK beta programme supports organisations sharing our philosophy of community service to help the world in areas such as science and technology, education, global public health, the environment, youth advocacy, and the arts.
Designed for UK charities which meet our requirements and are registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator or by the Inland Revenue, Google Grants is a unique free advertising programme. It harnesses the power of our flagship advertising product, Google AdWords, to non-profits seeking to inform and engage their constituents online. Google Grants has given AdWords advertising to hundreds of qualified non-profit groups whose missions range from animal welfare to literacy, from supporting homeless children to promoting HIV education.
Google Grant recipients use their award of free AdWords advertising on Google.co.uk to raise awareness and increase traffic. Three of our award recipients have achieved these results:
• Room to Read, which educates children in Vietnam, Nepal, India and Cambodia, attracted a sponsor who clicked on its AdWords ad. He has donated funds to support the education of 25 girls for the next 10 years.
• The US Fund for UNICEF's e-commerce site, Shop UNICEF, has experienced a 43 percent increase in sales over the previous year.
• CoachArt, supporting children with life-threatening illnesses through art and athletics programs, has seen a 60 to 70 percent increase in volunteers."
Google Grants ads appear on Google.co.uk alongside or above the search results. These Google Grants 'Adwords' adverts can also appear on a Custom Google Search Engine (I use this lots when designing for groups, although tend to not go for the advertising bit on the results!).
Google offers some useful advice too on how to target the right audience and use the right keywords, so this also goes back to understanding and being able to give a clear message and description and voice of your organisation which I mentioned in a recent post about writing for contented readers.
If you have a clearer identity, classifying yourself through keywording hopefully should become a simpler task (well, a little anyway!).
I'd love to hear some responses in non-profits using their sites in conjunction with advertising, so feel free to comment any highs, lows and experiences.
I'll be posting in the next week or so, some great resources in fundraising on the internet with your non-profit website which I'm currently collating.

On the outside, tether cars look a lot like the vehicles that break land-speed records. The cars are narrow and most of the engine parts are enclosed inside the body of the racer. They're comprised of parts similar to a full-size car, including a combustion engine, exhaust pipe, air intake, flywheel, gearbox, driveshaft and wheels. The racers also have a tailskid, located in the back that stabilizes the vehicles at top speeds. The cars are typically about one to two feet (30.5 to 61 centimeters) long, and weigh anywhere from two to six pounds (0.9 to 2.7 kilograms).
In the international competitions, there are five different engine sizes that compete. The smallest is the 1.5 cubic centimeter (cc) engine, which has a top speed over 65 miles per hour (104.6 kilometers per hour). The other engine sizes are the 2.5cc, 3.5cc, 5cc and 10cc classes. The 10cc engine class cars are capable of producing speeds over 200 miles per hour (321.9 kilometers per hour) [source: Macropoulos]. These two-cylinder engines typically run on a fuel mixture of 80 percent methanol and 20 percent castor oil and are capable of producing engine speeds up to 45,000 revolutions per minute.
Drivers can spend hours modifying the cars to squeeze just a little more speed -- perhaps a half a mile per hour more -- out of the engines. In fact, making adjustments and changes to the engine are a huge part of the hobby. One of the main components contributing to the car's speed is the tuning pipe. The tuning pipe not only acts as the exhaust pipe, but it also helps to propel the car. The pipe's design sucks out any unspent fuel in the engine, shoots it to the back of the pipe where it becomes vaporized, and then forces part of it back into the engine. The vaporized fuel gives more power to the engine and helps it reach its top speed, but this effect only kicks in after the car reaches 100 miles per hour (160.9 kilometers per hour).
With cars regularly achieving speeds well over 100 miles per hour (160.9 kilometers per hour), the tracks they race on have to be specially built to accommodate the tether cars and protect the people watching the races. Go on to the next page to learn about tether car races.

Happy Jolly Monday all! Welcome to another day of Delicious Spaces. Do you remember a few months back, I helped one of my sister's in law with her awesome office Maxx Space? Well, we have done some updates. Check out the before picture.
Top Shelf was unfinished, now it's done! Tada!
We made some super cute and colorful labels with washi tape!
Color cordination with some cool tape, and matching filing boxes!
We also organized some of her office drawers.
And check out her awesome Mailing system we created over the weekend. Such a cute box!
Don't you love all this organization? I adore it!! It makes me want to tackle more of my own projects, especially now since we recently moved. We have so much more space, beyond our imagination really, I am going crazy.
I haven't mentioned this to you, my readers, yet, but I recently got accepted to a job that I applied, and I am starting work training this week, it's so excting, I will be working from home after my six week training is up. I am hoping that everything runs smoothly, so I wanted to let you all know, I am going to be just a tad bit busier with my training, that I will be a little bit minimal on my future posts. I will miss blogging 2 to 3 times weekly, I love it. But for the next 6 weeks, I hope you all hang on tight, and keep reading. I am not going anywhere, I am just going to be a little slow on my posts. Thank you so much for your patience, for your support, it means so much to me. I love having followers that support me, I appreciate every single one of you, and I can't wait for training to be over because next month, some amazing announcements and amazing projects are coming up. Stay tuned!

To promote the release of Nymphomaniac, Lars von Trier's two-part, four-hour journey into the psychology of sex, Flicks.co.nz has launched a campaign via Trigger Marketing that stays true to the film's provocative, and sometimes humorous, narrative.
Given that the promotional art for the film portrays the stars seemingly posing in moments of climactic ecstasy, Flick.co.nz is now inviting its readers to send in snapshots of their own O-faces.
Over the coming weeks, Flicks.co.nz will choose their favourite entries as sent to email@example.com, the Flicks.co.nz Facebook page and Twitter account (using the hashtag #OFACE), and these over-sharing Kiwis will then see their faces incorporated into the poster art for Nymphomaniac and shared via social media.
"People don't literally have to take a picture of themselves in this compromising position," says Steve Newell, the editor and manager of Flicks.co.nz. "They can share funny photos or even pull something off Facebook that could be construed as an O-face.
Newell says that this is the first time in the website's eight-year history that team at Flicks.co.nz has experimented with promoting a film in this way and admits that not everyone at the company felt convinced that this was the best approach.
"It's a bit of a test run for us and it's led to some internal discussion on whether we've maybe gone too far, but I'm interested to see how things go."
Although the team does have some reservations, Newell believes that promotion is on-brand in the sense that it brings attention to some of the key misconceptions that people have about Lars von Tiers' film.
"I suppose after seeing the film, I was surprised by how funny parts are. It's not as dark as what people might imagine. And it's also not quite as titillating as the name might suggest," he says.
"To some degree, this is continuation of promotional campaigns done overseas. In Denmark, for example, film critics made some spoof posters. But this is the first time that public has been involved."
Given that the film has a very niche target market and that its release has been limited to only a few cinemas, Newell says that Trigger marketing, the company that holds the promotional rights for Nymphomaniac in New Zealand, was keen to execute the idea as soon as Flicks.co.nz pitched it.
The campaign is currently being hosted on a microsite, where visitors can find out extra information about entering the competition or watching the film.
And, in the event that you're looking for some inspiration in terms of what makes a good O-face, then this short clip featuring the facial expressions of men havive their testicles waxed to spread awareness of testicular cancer in Canada will almost certainly give you some decent ideas.

This thesis is concerned with the use of neural networks for motor control tasks. The main goal of the thesis is to investigate ways in which the biological notions of motor programs and Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) may be implemented in a neural network framework. Biological CPGs can be seen as components within a larger control scheme, which is basically modular in design. In this thesis, these ideas are investigated through the use of modular recurrent networks, which are used in a variety of control tasks. The first experimental chapter deals with learning in recurrent networks, and it is shown that CPGs may be easily implemented using the machinery of backpropagation. The use of these CPGs can aid the learning of pattern generation tasks; they can also mean that the other components in the system can be reduced in complexity, say, to a purely feedforward network. It is also shown that incremental learning, or 'shaping' is an effective method for building CPGs. Genetic algorithms are also used to build CPGs; although computational effort prevents this from being a practical method, it does show that GAs are capable of optimising systems that operate in the context of a larger scheme. One interesting result from the GA is that optimal CPGs tend to have unstable dynamics, which may have implications for building modular neural controllers. The next chapter applies these ideas to some simple control tasks involving a highly redundant simulated robot arm. It was shown that it is relatively straightforward to build CPGs that represent elements of pattern generation, constraint satisfaction. and local feedback. This is indirect control, in which errors are backpropagated through a plant model, as well as the ePG itself, to give errors for the controller. Finally, the third experimental chapter takes an alternative approach, and uses direct control methods, such as reinforcement learning. In reinforcement learning, controller outputs have unmodelled effects; this allows us to build complex control systems, where outputs modulate the couplings between sets of dynamic systems. This was shown for a simple case, involving a system of coupled oscillators. A second set of experiments investigates the use of simplified models of behaviour; this is a reduced form of supervised learning, and the use of such models in control is discussed.
