Around ASF Blog
Volume 2 / Entry 2
February 7, 2013
Hello friends,
I just read an interesting article that confirms what I have been advocating at the agency for a few years. Social media can be a powerful tool in educating the public about HIV/AIDS. And it can serve as a gateway to prevention and treatment efforts, too.
A UCLA study recently published in the journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases found that "African American and Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) voluntarily used health-related Facebook groups, which were created by the study's investigators, to discuss such things as HIV knowledge, stigma and prevention and ultimately to request at-home HIV testing kits."
This is really exciting information for those of us charged with getting the message out to at-risk groups in our area. ASF needs to reach Latino MSM's, who are not necessarily homosexual, and straight youth aged 16-29. They are our two most at-risk communities in Orange County.
If we can use social media to get people talking and reduce the stigma of HIV in every community, we would see, as the study demonstrates, an increase in the possibility that they will get tested. If they test positive for HIV, we can get them into care immediately and substantially reduce the risk that they will ever display any symptoms of infection.
That's how we are going to conquer this disease…one person at a time. Help us reach that person and talk about HIV and AIDS on social media. If it helps get a conversation started, link them to this blog.

Our holiday will soon be coming to a close. A few days in Iguazu Falls first though!
Month: February 2016
Bear : OWPC
For this weeks One Word Photo Challenge I am going to take my inspiration a little further afield and improvise.
I could have showed you some Koala Bears but instead here is a photo of a stuffed Panda that my wife and I bought in the UK and transported back in the cabin with us to Switzerland and put it in the 'nursery' to wait for our darling daughter Jennifer who was born a few months later. I still chuckle thinking about the stewardesses faces as we brought it aboard.
As a bonus, my wife who in addition to being extraordinarily beautiful, is also very creative and talented in all things relating to needlework, patchwork and appliqué.
Above is one of her squares!
A few more words on 'The End of the World'
The end of the world is in fact the southernmost navigable point on the highway that spans from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego in Argentina, on a dirt road south of the Beagle Channel but just north of Cape Horn that we are expected to navigate tomorrow morning around 7.30am.
Our tour guide was excited because he jokingly said that Ushuaia has about 30 sunny days a year and today was one of them. It's also Sunday and the Park was full of campsites and local inhabitants preparing their barbecue 'Asadas'.
I'll prepare a little slideshow on my return but leave you with just one image of a wonderful day.

No More Time : Friday Fictioneers
A Friday Fictioneers from Puerto Montt.
Judy heard the roar and stood up on the beach to face the noise.
Momentarily an observer, rather than a passenger, of the passage of time, she saw, in that instant, the inevitability of her fate.
She bade farewell to the last warm rays of the summer sun, and shivered in anticipation of the encroaching night.
She watched and waited, as the swell of the tsunami advanced rapidly towards where she was standing, and although she was far from being alone in her fate, it felt somehow strangely personal.
The wave continued inland. No more time for thoughts.

Another One Word Photo Challenge. This week the one word is basement.
At the Niagara Falls, on the Canadian side, you can take an elevator to the underground tunnels and see the falls half way down. The thunder of the falls is extraordinary and it gets very wet!
Living Statue : Daily Post Photo Challenge
Here is this weeks Daily Post Photo Challenge
The inspiration is from a chance encounter with a 'living' statue of Pope Jean-Paul II that I saw this afternoon walking in the Parque Araucano Las Condes in Santiago de Chile where I am resting after our stop in Peru before boarding our cruise ship tomorrow in Valparaiso.

I've always loved books, but "adult" life seemed to get in the way. Now I'm making time to read and falling in love all over again.

"Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain
This conversation came back to me while reading Cain's Quiet. One of her principal points is that Americans typically see extroversion as a strength and introversion as a weakness that should be overcome. I'm a textbook introvert, and I've always seen my preference for staying home snuggled with my husband and a movie (rather than going downtown to a bar with a bunch of people or going to a party thrown by one of my husband's friends) as a failure and a weakness. Just like that pre-marital counselor did for my beliefs about organization, Quiet challenges the pro-extroversion assumption and argues that, in fact, introversion is a great strength that should be valued and even encouraged.
Introversion has many definitions, but academics typically agree on at least some traits. Introverts tend to prefer exploration of the mind; they tire from large social situations and prefer the intimacy of deep conversations among close friends; they tend to be more sensitive. And, as Cain emphasizes in her book, introverts tend to be classified as lacking for being too "shy," "antisocial," or "quiet." One of the best part of Quiet, then, is its constant affirmation to introverts: you are not lacking and you are important to a well-functioning society.
Quiet is a perfect cheerleader for introverts (though, fittingly, a cheerleader who speaks in a well-organized book rather than a bright red mini-skirt and pompoms), as Cain details many studies showing the benefits of introverts in the workplace or as Cain explores how an excess concentration of extroverts helped lead to the financial crisis. After a few chapters, I told my husband (only half kidding) that the primary message I was getting from the book was that "I am more awesome than you because I'm an introvert." To that end, Cain may over-emphasize what introversion has to offer, but I think it's needed considering what a negative reputation introversion has in this country.
One of the fascinating sections of the book for me was Cain's description of the "groupthink" mentality found in schools and the workplace. I went to an Ivy League university for my masters in education, and I've long said that the primary thing I learned during my time there was that everything students do must be done in groups. We were so drilled that group work and cooperative learning were the only methods by which students could learn that for months I was terrified of ever assigning individual assignments. In fact, to this day, I feel reluctant to assign individual work (despite my personal preference for it), thinking I'm somehow harming the students' learning. However, Quiet argues, through numerous studies, that group work actually impedes creativity and effectiveness. I was an outstanding yet introverted student in school, and because of my quiet attitude, I was often overlooked. Now I realize how as a teacher myself I'm perpetuating that cycle.
Quiet is a great book for any introvert who has ever felt like something inside him or her was wrong. The book is also great for teachers, parents, and partners of introverts, as it affirms introverts' tendencies as normal and beneficial and gives tips on how to bring out the best in introverts. Cain uses a variety of studies and anecdotes to make her points, creating an engaging and important book.

Dearly Beloved 144,000 Jewish Brethren,
I earnestly look forward to the day that you shall appear on the face of this earth. I need to teach you about the nature of evil, since you will be living in the most treacherous times in human history. There was recently a Western pastor who was saying that he saw another pastor yelling back and forth with another person. He was sternly reprimanding the church congregation that we must be more religious and godly. This may be true and this may be false.
It could be the opposite. It could be that the pastor preaching this is the carnal, religious person; and the pastor who was yelling could have been the spiritual, godly person. It is important that you do not just listen to these Western Christianity leaders and believe whatever they say; but to test the spirits behind each preacher, and discern by the Holy Spirit.
Obviously, it is not good to yell or throw fits of rage. We must be people of peace and love. We must learn patience and understanding and self-control. Though people deal with us unjustly, or rudely, we must deal with them in godly love; and must not reciprocate their behavior. We should not seek revenge, and leave room for God's revenge and judgment. We must not live by the sword, but live peacefully with all men and governments and institutions, as much as we can.
However, there are times when you may have to yell back. Satan sends into the church all kinds of demon-possessed people to disrupt the church. Being intelligent and crafty like their father Satan, these evil people are marvelous actors, and exhibit themselves as religious, nice men. They are highly respected and admired by the carnal, dead, religious Western Christian church congregations. The Western pastors have no discernment of the Holy Spirit, so instead of kicking them out of the church, they allow these people to remain in the church. These demon-possessed people will reap havoc inside the church by attacking only the real, born-again Christians in the church, who are sharing the gospel, being used by God, and are a threat to Satan's kingdom. To the lukewarm, fleshly church congregation, these demon-possessed people are very nice and religious; so if the real born-again Christians were to resist these demon-possessed people, the spiritually dead church people will think the real born-again Christians are evil and carnal, and drive the real Christians out of the church. This is Satan's purpose, scheme, and reason for sending his demon-possessed people into the church. You will see this all over the place in the churches throughout the world. Satan's tactic is to use the religious Christians to drive out all of God's real born-again Christians out of the churches, so that the churches will die. In the history of mankind, the devil has always used the religious Pharisees and Christians to kill and martyr tens of thousands of real born-again Christians to stop the Torah Truth from being preached.
Evil people will yell and scream at you; or keep ordering you around; or try to make you do things which hinder your lives, and make it look like you are evil if you do not do it, in the eyes of all the church people and pastors. I tell you the truth—do not do it. It is better if you are wrongfully judged and criticized and ostracized by these carnal Western church people and religious Christians, than to be a victim of these demon-possessed people who are more clever and cunning than you. They have Satan's high level of human intelligence to do evil, but of course, they do not have true godly wisdom. If you fight their game of propaganda, you will lose; but it is important that you speak the truth and let the Holy Spirit speak for you, and give you wisdom to deal with these people.
As I have mentioned to you before, dear Brethren, there was a young, baby Christian, gentle, feminine, kind, pure, loving, Japanese girl, who had just become a Christian. Some of the church men were pestering her, stalking her, and making her associate with them. The devil kept telling her mind that if she does not associate and talk with these demon-possessed servants of Satan, then that she has no love and is not being like a Christian, since she must love all people. This is a lie from the pit of hell. Being a more mature Christian, and having been stalked by about 15 to 20 crazy religious Christian women myself, God had given me wisdom of the Holy Spirit to counsel her. I told the sister in Christ that love is not feelings or associating with everyone, but it is to do what is good and right. This does not necessarily mean to let the devil and his henchmen walk all over her and abuse her and harass her like the Lord Of The Flies. I told her to stand up against evil people and not allow them to harass her. She needs to swat the flies down. If the church people and pastor think badly of her for doing so and ignoring these people, and if the demon-possessed people slander her to the church people, then so be it. She should leave such a church, for it is more detrimental to one's spiritual growth to stay around a bunch of dead, religious Christians, than to be outside the church with the real born-again Christians.
I have learned the nature of evil. The nature of evil is that they love to yell, scream, hurt, abuse, harass, stalk, incriminate and kill good people. The demons who control these evil people know who the real born-again Christians are who are sharing the gospel and carrying out the Great Commission of Christ to all the nations, tribes and tongues throughout the world. Therefore, the real born-again Christians will receive a lot of attacks by Satan's people. As I said, it is important to live at peace with all people, as much as possible; and to turn the other cheek, if someone insults you. However, the nature of evil is to continue to do evil to a good person, and to even escalate it to the level of abuse, bullying and finally killing. If you are a small nation without a military, an evil nation will attack your nation, and rape, plunder and pillage you. This is the nature of evil, of Satan, and his people. It is much like China invading and occupying Manchuria and Tibet and Uyghur, and criticizing Japan for invading them during World War II—this is the nature of evil. The devil goes around stealing, lying and killing. He was always a thief and a murderer.
If you allow evil to continue yelling at you, or stealing from you, or killing you, or raping your daughter, or invading your country, or blaspheming God; then you will just be like any religious person in Western Christianity who have been brainwashed by Satan to be always smiling, "nice," forgiving, be slaughtered and be martyred. This is a lie from the pit of hell and this is what the Western Christianity teaches. They teach the post-1960s "Flower Children" mothers' so-called "Bible Answer Men" and their religious gang leaders' Jezebel satanic humanist Western doctrines. This smiling and drug-high nice personality is not of God, but it is of Satan's religiousness. It is not real godly character and it is not real love. It is fake religion.
Brothers, we are not called to be deceived by Western Christianity or Satan or by religion. You have the Torah Truth, and you have the Holy Spirit. Discern for yourselves. And I am confident that real born-again Christian brothers do have the discernment of the Holy Spirit, and you know what I teach. God has His faithful small minority among the Western Christian churches. This is a confirmation to you, if you were in consternation, confusion and could not understand why the Western Church is the way it is; and the religious Christians are the way they are. Come out of them, and live as the true children of the Most High God. Live no longer under the shadow of false Western Christianity doctrines that have been formulated by carnal religious leaders for 2,000 years. You will always have the church and the religious leaders, but they have a terrible track record in terms of teaching and following the Torah Truth. Rather, they pervert and legalize and rewrite the Truth with their own minds and carnal hearts. That is why they rewrite God's Word, who is Jesus, and teach women that they do not have to wear head-coverings and it is alright to wear men's trousers and disguise themselves with cosmetics, against the Bible's commands. You will be able to clearly discern a so-called Western Christian's attitude toward Jesus by their attitude toward these Torah Truths and the Word Himself, regardless of whether they may tell you that they love Christ; for if they truly loved Christ who is the Torah Truth, they would love the above Truths in the Bible. They are without excuse, if they say that they love Him, but detest His Torah Truth and Bible and dismiss it. It is hypocrisy. And the Western religious church members are just as worse, since they do not know the commands written in the Bible, or they have sudden amnesia when it comes to commands in the Bible which contradict their post-1960s "Flower Children" Jezebel humanist Western self-righteous values of women's equality. That is why God will vomit them out of His mouth: they are half Jesus and half Jezebel, half God and half Satan, half hot and half cold (lukewarm), and half Bible and half lie. They have no respect for God's Word, and have no intention of following it: they just follow whatever part they want to follow—this is the religious Western carnal Christian. How can they blame God, if they fall under judgment? Only those who love God's Word will be delivered from judgment. They may have Christian schools in Japan and collect tuition money and have religious good teachings, but they detest the Torah Truth and Bible's real teachings. They are ruled by their wives. They are adherents of modern day Western Jezebelism. Therefore, they do not even practice the teachings that they teach.
The nature of evil is to continue to do evil to you, and to escalate that evil toward you, if they see that you do not do anything. The evil nature of man is to test you, and if you do not do anything, they will steal from you. If you still do not resist, then they will kill you, and steal your wife and house. This is the bullying and treacherous nature of evil. Therefore, if they continue to yell and scream at you, then you may have to yell back at them. Of course, you must try to live in peace with all people; try to reason with them; remain calm and self-controlled; hold no hatred against them; give to them within reasonable amounts, if that will bring peace; seek to escape from the situation if godly wisdom tells you to; but there is a time when you may have to yell back, just like the pastor whom the preacher was criticizing. The nature of evil is that they love to yell, scream, hurt, and kill; but, they do not want to be yelled back at, screamed back at, hurt themselves or killed themselves. Therefore, if these demonic spirits continue to yell at you, you may have to yell back at them, and rebuke them in Jesus name. I have found out that these demon-possessed people stop yelling at you and usually walk away, if you yell back at them, for they do not want to be yelled at, and experience unpleasant things themselves. They are hypocrites: they love to yell at people like many black women do, but they do not like to be yelled at. Satan's nature is a coward. He goes around like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour, but when you go against him in the power of God, he will flee from you. So also are the people who yell and scream and manifest Satan's character due to their sinful hearts—they are usually cowards and run away from more evil people or mobs.
You must understand that their nature is selfishness, so they love to give unpleasant stress to others, but they themselves do not want to experience unpleasant stress. They are hypocrites. Evil is hypocrisy, and that is why Jesus called the Pharisees and religious ministers as hypocrites. You must likewise stand up against evil people. It is just like the apostles rebuked the demon spirit of the sorceress who kept following after them and harassing them; and they commanded her eyes to be blinded, and she was blinded. It is like when Jesus picked up the rope and drove out the money-exchangers who were making money off of the people in God's Temple. There are times when Jesus remained silent, and did not answer to the accusations of the Pharisees; and there were other times when Jesus just walked away when people tried to stone Him. There are other times when He boldly stood up against evil people, and even said very rude things against the religious pastors and minister of that time. There are times when Jesus prayed that the Father will forgive those who crucified Him. That is why when you boldly speak the truth to these modern day pastors and ministers, they will detest you and try to drive you out of their churches to silence you. They will not listen to sound doctrine or the exhortation of the Holy Spirit. They would rather live in their self-righteous Western humanism of Jezebel's doctrine of women's equality, working secular jobs, growing hair long, and preaching that Christians will get sick and ill.
Of course, you are not going to be militant and try to wage war, or get into fights, like some of the ancient Jews thought Jesus would do; unless someone is trying to kill you and your family. Instead, Jesus came to serve, to die on the cross, and to bring peace between God and man. What I am saying is that it is important to be filled by the Holy Spirit, so that you will have the discernment of the Holy Spirit, and you will be able to discern spirits of people. The Holy Spirit will give you the right words, the right behavior, the right decisions, the right discernment, the right wisdom, and the right way of dealing with each person and situation.
What I am saying is that Jesus did not smile at the demonic spirits of the demon-possessed man, and let the demon continue to yell and scream at Him, and he did not negotiate with the demon, or console the demon; like some Western religious men would teach and do and tolerate in the church of God. Jesus sternly rebuked the demons, and commanded the demons to leave the demon-possessed man. This may be what you need to do with demon-possessed people, if they continue to follow after you, and will not stop yelling and screaming and throwing rage at you; just like that pastor did to the church person, whom the preacher was criticizing as being un-Christian-like. You do not sit there in your pastor's chair and listen for hours to this man or woman who is yelling and screaming at you, and not even respecting your leadership that Christ has given you. Yes, as a leader in Christ, you must be a servant and have humility; but there are times when you must deal with evil with authority and boldness of the Holy Spirit.
You know that a church person who yells and screams and behaves in such ungodly, evil ways is not of God or of the Holy Spirit. A Christian who has the Holy Spirit will not come to you, and scream his head off at you. You know that there is some sin in that person's heart, and that is why the demons can have a foothold in that person's soul and can control that person and use them. These evil people will only yell at you if you are in a weaker position than them. (For example, if they are your superiors or they are paying money to you or they can complain to your boss or they are physically bigger than you or they know you are a pastor and are supposed to be nice to them.) These evil people will not yell at you if you are in a stronger position than them. (For example, if you are a police officer or you are a mafia hit man or if you are three hundred fifty pounds of muscle or if you are their boss and paying their salary or if you have a grenade launcher in your hand.) That is the nature of evil, and the more a person is sinful and evil, the more the demons are able to control that person. That is why the most evil people come to you, if you are an executive, and they yell and scream at you, and try to get compensation money from you through intimidation. They share their father Satan's character and nature. The godly person never comes to yell and scream and take from you.
Therefore, that preacher who was criticizing the pastor who was yelling back and forth with another person in church, could be the carnal, religious, Western self-righteous humanist; and the pastor who was yelling back at the person who was screaming and harassing him, could have been the truly godly, spiritual, wise individual. You can never tell. Do not judge by appearance, but discern by the Holy Spirit, dear Brethren. Appearances are deceiving, and things are not always what it seems.
I have discovered that the multitudes of demon-possessed people come to yell and scream at me, because their demons know that I am a real born-again Christian; but they do not yell at their fellow satanic people. The demons know who their enemies are. A lot of those people who scream at me are surprised at themselves for their own rage, and tell me that they cannot understand why they are so enraged at me, because they never got so angry in their lives, and apparently cannot find any reason for themselves to be so angry, too. A lot of the other people are surprised why so many people always yell and scream to me, because all these people are calm and nice to them, and never scream at them. They are surprised because to them I am a very nice person, and there is no reason for people to attack me. What these non-Christians and religious Christians do not understand is that it is the demons who control these sinful people that hate born-again Christians; and the demons control and speak to the mind of these people to get angry and to intimidate and threaten. If they were possessed by the Holy Spirit of God, they would not get angry; but they would be full of gratefulness, praise to God, joy, peace, love and all the fruits of the Spirit. By the fruits of the spirit, you will be able to distinguish the goats from the sheep in the church. What these people fail to see is the spiritual realm that controls evil people, and
that Satan's people are at war with God's children. You will see these Satan's vampiric human servants yelling at supermarket managers, boutique managers, hotel managers, bank managers, and police officers about how much they have been inconvenienced by the situation, and how angry they are. Their trend of thought is always "me, me, me," and very selfish. It is of satanic anger, instead of godly self-control; it is of satanic selfishness, instead of godly focus on other people; it is of satanic taking and compensation, instead of godly giving; and it is of satanic accusations and blaming, instead of godly repentance and inspection of one's own sins.
There are roughly three levels of demonic control: demonic oppression, demonic obsession and demonic possession. You will be surprised how many people in these End-Times are possessed by demons (not only in third-world countries, but in civilized countries). They may be very nice, civilized people to the non-Christian people; but when the time comes, they will show their true nature, and reveal their savage nature. That is why when the Holy Spirit in the Christians are raptured out of this earth along with the Christians when God closes Noah's Ark's door and brings judgment upon the earth-dwellers, then since the Holy Spirit who is holding back evil in this world will be gone, this world will be an unrecognizably savage world. Humans' true nature will be unleashed, and the non-Christians will no longer be constrained by the righteousness of the Christians when they are gone. Satan will be defeated by Michael's angels, be thrown down to this earth, and literally, all hell will break loose on this earth.
Dear Brethren, we do not fight against flesh and blood, but with the principalities and powers of darkness in the spiritual realm—demonic spirits. You cannot battle with them with immature, carnal, religious methods; but, you must discern and deal with them in the Holy Spirit. Be not as children in the Truth, but be wise in the wisdom of God. Know that the people of this world are controlled by Satan's spirits; and it is our duty to purge the church of these ungodly, fake, religious people who are used by unclean spirits. It is our duty to discern by the Holy Spirit, be filled by the Holy Spirit, and keep Satan out of the church of God. In these End-Times, as the Bible prophesies, the Western churches are controlled and filled with Satan's people; and Jesus and the real born-again Christians have been kicked out of the churches, and are outside the church. In the 1960s and 1970s, these "Flower Children" ministers flooded into the churches, and were used to flood the churches with Satan's Jezebel values and "Flower Children" humanism of equality, democracy, and environmentalism.
We live in evil times and what the Bible prophesies as treacherous times. Know the nature of evil, and stand up against such evil men. Live in peace and love as much as possible; but also live as real people and not fake religious people, and as strong men of God. Do not let these feminist women and effeminate pastors control the churches with their Jezebel spirits of Western self-righteous humanism, and bring in their post-1960s "Flower Children" Satanism into the churches. Do not let 60% Western divorce and independence and rebellion reign in God's churches. Do not be part of this evil democratic Western church of Hellenistic humanism and Jezebel self-righteousness, which is controlled by the people for the people of the people; but restore God's theocracy and Jesus to the Western churches and to His rightful throne, and men's authority in the churches and God's order in the universe. The Western religious leaders and pastors will read this for the amusement of their intellectual entertainment, but they will not dare teach this directly as is, for they fear the women in the church, and they are violent effeminate men just like Ahab (they are the sons of Jezebel who were brought up by Jezebel's "Flower Children" rebellious generation). They will water the Truth down, revise it, pervert it, and make it palatable for the ears of the sensitive Western Christians of the End Times. That is why God does not take pleasure in the Jezebel post-1960s Western Christianity. Therefore, God has chosen you, the 12,000 from each tribe of Israel to carry on His Truth to the lost world.
If these demon-possessed fanatic feminists and homosexuals and pre-Noah's flood-time people physically attack you or destroy the church properties or harass the sisters, then detain them and call the police. You must not hate the feminist homosexual inversed people, and you should only hate their sins and love the person; but you should not tolerate their defecations and blaspheming of the Almighty Living God of heaven and earth. You need to sternly and directly deal with evil men. Not fight, but to deal with them. When there is a strong control of demonic spirits on a person, due to the extent of their sinful hearts, then it tends to inverse their male and female characters. That is why a lot of homosexual and feminist people seem nice on the outside, but their inner violent real person explodes all of a sudden sometimes, as if they are controlled by savage demonic spirits. Most of their marriages do not last. Just as in Sodom and Gomorrah, they start trying to rape people, and even angels who have come to destroy them. However, before their numbers increase any further, and this society becomes even more savage, God will take out His people (born-again Christians) from this earth, so that they will not be harmed by these demon-possessed people.
Western pastors and religious people preach to you to forgive evil, demon-possessed people, but there is no need to forgive them, if they do not repent. However, you should not hold any bitterness or hatred toward them either. If they sin against you seventy-seven times, and ask for your forgiveness seventy-seven times, then you need to forgive them seventy-seven times. If they are demon-possessed evil people yelling at you and the church people, then instead of forgiving them, throw them out of the church. If the Western democratic church people cause a raucous that you are an evil person for casting out the demon-possessed, nice person from the church, then leave the church, for that church is not deserving of the Truth; since there is no Truth in such a church and people. Rather, go outside the church, where Jesus is working, and preach to the non-Christians who are hungry for the Truth, and will receive Jesus—the Word—the Torah Truth—and the Life. Do not waste your time on these people who do not want the Truth; who give themselves Western Hellenistic democratic power to hire and fire pastors; and will only hire ministers who will speak Western humanism and pleasing sermons to them, based on their seminary credentials and career experiences, and not whether a minister is filled with the Holy Spirit. Go out into the world where the harvest really is; and where Jesus is really working.
You, the 144,000 Jewish Brethren are the commandos of God's army, who will remain single as the Bible commands and carry out the Great Commission of Christ to make disciples of all men in every nation, tribe and every corner of the earth; the Great Commission that the Western Church and religious Church has failed to do; just like Israel failed to claim the promised land from the Euphrates river to the Nile river, and therefore, are now having so much trouble in modern times. You must pick up the Great Commission, where the Western Church abandoned, due to the post-1960s "Flower Children" mothers' so-called "Bible Answer Men" and their religious gang leaders' satanic adulterous Jezebel teachings of modern Western self-righteous humanism to hunker down in their communities of sunny California, to work in secular jobs, to marry and breed genetic descendents who will be destroyed in the Tribulation, and to live paying for luxurious homes and cars, since God wants you to be happy and wealthy Christians to give lots of money to the church, so that the pastors will have lavish salaries and lifestyles and frequent trips to Hawaii under the appearance of doing ministry.
Dear Jewish Brethren, you must not follow in the steps of your predecessors—the wicked, lukewarm, Laodicea Western Christianity religion; but you must restore the Torah Truth of God to His House. You are a holy people called to be apart from the world and the religious people. Deal with evil as evil should be dealt with. Be real, brothers. Be godly and Christ-like in all of your deeds, thoughts, decisions, conduct and speech. God's nature is truth, love, strength against evil, wisdom in all things, and the fullness of the Holy Spirit. You must be likewise. And may the power, mind and life fill you and uphold you, my dear friends. And then, you shall shine in righteousness in white robes and reign together at His throne forever, with the righteous and holy One who is called the great "I Am." Repent, and make straight the path of the Lord!

Back in February, I mentioned the former ~GREEN CHILE KITCHEN~ location at Baker and Fulton was going to morph into ~CHILE PIES (& ICE CREAM)~. Well, that day is here! The opening is slated for tomorrow (Wednesday), and there will be a rotating selection of organic homemade pies baked fresh daily (available by the slice or whole pies to go); a green chile apple pie with walnuts and a cheddar crust served a la mode with red chile honey drizzle (whoa); milkshakes (including pie milkshakes, and I am so not kidding), sundaes, and floats with ice cream from Three Twins Ice Cream (along with a raw vegan ice cream from Café Gratitude); blue corn waffle cones; and organic ice cream from Straus (plus soft serve low-fat frozen yogurt).
There is also going to be a sole savory item on the menu: Frito chile pie! Imagine a bag of Fritos, filled with beans, New Mexican red chile sauce, and since GCK cares about the meats they use, they'll be using ground Niman Ranch beef—so it's not completely junk food, ahem. There will additionally be coffee from Ecco, and tea. Cash only. Hours will be Tue-Sun noon-9:30pm. 601 Baker St. at Fulton, 415-614-9411.

|Kendra (left) with fellow teen teacher Layla
Kendra is a student at Shakopee High School. Along with her best friend, Layla, Kendra volunteers as a healthy living teacher with 4-H's Youth Teaching Youth program.
"I take time out of my own school day to visit local elementary schools and teach health and safety lessons to fourth and fifth graders. I had no idea how much of an impact I could make and how much I'd learn about myself. Being a teen teacher is amazing."
Youth Teaching Youth teen teachers are trained by 4-H staff to deliver short series of lessons on important topics such as internet safety and alcohol and tobacco decisions. Pairs of youth work together to learn the curriculum, develop effective teaching skills, and build trust in each other as co-teachers.
"I have learned a lot about how to be a good teacher from this program. I didn't realize how important it is to use a variety of teaching strategies in each lesson. We change it up, using visuals, interactive activities, videos, worksheets, and other tools to help every kid learn."
|Kendra and Layla leading a healthy living session
for a class of 4th graders
"I think now about posting safe photos. We all like taking and sharing funny photos of ourselves and friends and just assume that nobody will mind or use them in inappropriate ways. Now I realize that my choices can impact my safety and the safety of people I love. I definitely think twice before posting now, and especially look for hidden content in my photos, like street signs or personal information. Being safe online is something I'm very aware of now."
Kendra is confident that she'll continue teaching in 4-H's Youth Teaching Youth program next year. She looks forward to building more leadership skills, learning new curriculum, and being a positive role model for many more elementary school youth.
"I love working with kids. Being a YTY teacher feels like a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm able to talk to groups of kids about valuable information, teach with and build friendships with other teens, and be a positive influencer. It's like nothing I've ever experienced."
In 4-H, youth of all ages are empowered to develop skills they need to lead for a lifetime. Kendra is becoming a leader in her community as she shares knowledge and commits herself to modeling healthy living.
Thank you, Kendra, for being a True Leader in Minnesota!
Did you know?
The 4-H Youth Teaching Youth program is offered in partnership with local school districts and the community at large throughout the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area.
Youth in 4-H are twice as likely to make healthy choices and four times as likely to make positive contributions to their communities. Find 4-H in your community by visiting our website.

I am watching a TV documentary about child labor–mainly in South America. It's heart-rending to see these lovable children being deprived of their childhood. Memories are the only certain thing we can bequeath to children: They should be happy ones. But what I find equally distressing (or even more, because it is cloaked in a false well-being) is our Western habit of employing children to push our merchandise. Not only drugs on the street corners of Naples: I mean right in front of our eyes, on television, in TV plays and soaps and serious films. What are these hordes of lovely child-actors going to grow up to expect from life? How are they, looking back, to distinguish the "must be there on time" of studio work from forced child labor, pure and simple? How are they to know that acting and looking cute mean very little to the great and valuable future adult world they are entitled to enjoy? Where will their childhood have gone? What happens to their pay? Is it at least put in the bank for them, at interest? How many child-psychiatrists do these child-actors keep in business? Personally, I greatly dislike seeing children employed in the entertainment business, even more in advertising.
He has a beard and a man-friend. He is a painter. Sometimes they come to our house for dinner, sometimes we go to theirs. Both cases involve going downstairs to the dining room. Why do I always dislike descending in advance of the men? I have a fear of being pushed from behind. Why?
In our friendship there is an unspoken hostility which perhaps only I feel. It could be imaginary, but that is not the point. Going down to dinner, I cling to the handrail. I cling tight.

first off, happy 2nd birthday to my little boy! here's an acronym for him:
my daughters and i thought of it and it describes him well. we used 'obvious' because you can always tell when he's up to something and 'sparring' because he loves boxing/fighting and he's always trying to spar with people. we celebrated a little today and i'll share some photos in an edit probably tomorrow.
anyway, here is a super old velvet blazer i got at urban outfitters a while ago. i never got to wear this tank top much this summer. it has a nice wood grain print i thought went so well with velvet. these jeans together with this blazer make a perfect and classic silhouette.

Recovering User Accounts
No password protected system is complete without the ability to recover user accounts in case of forgotten passwords. Telerik Platform provides various ways to do that:
- Using Email or Username
- Using a Secret Question and Answer Pair
- Implementing a Custom Password Reset Mechanism
These methods are designed to allow the user to reset only their own password, but prevent them from interfering with someone else's.
Using Email or Username
If a user forgets their password but has entered a valid email address when registering with Telerik Platform, your application can send password reset instructions to that email address. This works as follows:
- The user requests a password reset by typing their username or email address in your app.
- Your app sends a password reset request to Telerik Platform, using the data entered by the user.
- Telerik Platform finds the user account that matches the entered data and sends a password reset message to its email address.
- The password reset email gives the user a means of resetting their password.
Keep the following in mind:
- The password reset email expires after 2 hours
- Only the last email sent for a given user account is valid
This is how you request a password reset by providing a username:
var obj = {
Username: "john"
function (data) {
This is how you request a password reset by providing an email address:
var obj = {
Email: "email@example.com"
function (data) {
Customizing the ResetPasswordEmail Template
By default, the password reset message that users receive links to a generic page on https://platform.telerik.com/ that presents the user with a form to enter a new password. You can easily edit the email template to change its appearance or completely alter the recovery mechanism.
To edit the reset password template:
- Log in to the Telerik Platform portal.
- Click your app.
- Navigate to Users > Automated Emails.
- Select the ResetPasswordEmail table entry and then click Edit in the right-hand pane.
- Make your changes. When finished, click Save.
You can access the password reset code for a user in the template by adding the {{User.PasswordResetCode}} placeholder.
Using a Secret Question and Answer Pair
Another way to recover a user account is to provide the secret question and secret answer saved with it when registering the user as explained in Registering Users.
var obj = {
"Username": "jsmith",
"SecretQuestionId": 1,
"SecretAnswer": "dog",
"NewPassword": "n3wp@sw0rd"
function (data) {
Implementing a Custom Password Reset Mechanism
In case you don't want to use the built-in reset password mechanism, you can create your own mechanism using the reset code from the reset password email. You also need to acquire the new password string from the user.
Keep the following in mind:
- The password reset code expires after 2 hours
- Only the last issued password reset code for a given user account is valid
- The
PasswordResetCodeis available only in the email template code
This is how you can implement a custom password reset mechanism:
- Create your own password reset web page.
- Customize the ResetPasswordEmail template, replacing the default URL with the URL to the web page that you created. It is important to include the
{{User.PasswordResetCode}}placeholder as a URL parameter.
- On your web page, ask the user to enter their new password.
- Send the reset code and the new password to Telerik Platform using the following call:
var obj = {
"ResetCode": resetcode,
"NewPassword": password
function (data) {

US Cellular #HelloBetter Campaign Launches
Have you ever compared your current cellular phone rates to that of other providers lately?
I really wish I had done my homework before I signed a long term contact with my current provider. Who, by the way, does not have coverage whenever I leave the area in which I live. It is very frustrating to be on vacation and not have cell service or texting capabilities or any date service. But, I am currently stuck in a contract.
For years and years I never had a contract, but then all these gorgeous new phones came out and I wanted one. My husband said no way as we are a single income family with three small children. He told me I was perfectly fine with my old phone and didn't need all the other jazzy stuff. I did not think I was perfectly fine and felt I needed to update and get with the times. So I walked into my long time provider and let them talk me into a brand new jazzy phone and a long term contract. I am about six months away from getting out of this contract and said jazzy phone doesn't really work very well for me anymore. In fact, it stopped working well after about six months of use.
I pay a hefty monthly bill for this jazzy phone and all the trimmings that come with it and it never works. I drive downtown and guess what. No service. I can't tweet, I can't facebook, I can't do anything. It's dead, just dead. I travel on vacation in the US and yes you guessed it, it's dead. I can't text, I don't get calls, I can't tweet for sure and forget about looking up anything on the internet. It is beyond aggravating. All I get from my husband is "I told you so". I'm paying for a not so jazzy phone that never works unless I'm in my house! Oh and customer service is no help at all, simply telling me the phone is perfect and their service is awesome. But if I would like to upgrade and sign an even longer contract they are happy to assist me. Really?
I don't even know why I tolerate this, well I do, I'm locked into a contract and I have had the same phone number for over a decade and don't want to lose it! Well, guess what? U.S. Cellular is encouraging people to say goodbye to dysfunctional wireless relationships and say hello to a better experience. Goodbye neglect, hello respect. That sounds like a plan of action to me. I deserve better, Right?
U.S. Cellular believes that people deserve better. A mobile phone is supposed to make life simpler and easier to get things done. Your relationship with your wireless carrier should be the same. US Cellular treats their customers like neighbors, not numbers.I'm ready to make the switch. My life is definitely not simpler with my jazzy phone and I don't get anything done with it! In addition to passionate associates, U.S. Cellular provides customers with unique benefits such as the industry's only points-based rewards program, no contract after the first contract ends, free incoming calls and texts, free Overage Protection and free Battery Swap for your device. Guess whose provider offers NONE of these options. Mine!
Did you know US Cellular is unrivaled in coverage and straight forward and superior pricing? I didn't either. Here are some of their plans and their awesome Rewards Program.
A recent study conducted by U.S. Cellular indicates that 43 percent of individuals are in the 'seven year itch' phase with their wireless provider, noting they are comfortable but suspect they are missing out on something better. You think? I'm in the 10 year itch and am missing something for sure.
I'm wondering though. do people really drop their service providers? I'm a loyal customer, just look, I've been with the same provider for over a decade. Is everyone like me or am I the odd one out? I don't think so. Very few people ever break up with their providers. I wonder what we are all afraid of! I don't switch because I don't want to lose my number and I don't want the hassle and frankly, all are the same, Right?
Disclosure: I participated in this sponsored post campaign for One2One Network. All opinions stated are my own.

Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story!
CNN's Gary Tuchman reported Monday on a fundamentalist Christian couple who killed their 7-year-old adopted daughter while practicing a violent form of discipline.
They reportedly beat their nine children regularly because they thought God wanted them to. Both parents were jailed after pleading guilty to the crime and the surviving children are now in foster homes.

I had joy watching my children enjoy and love her.
"I'll be in heaven soon. Please don't cry, or you'll make me cry."
I swallowed back the grief of knowing that the grandmother I had loved for thirty years was soon going to withdraw from her physical body and I'd no longer have the warm hand I now held. I know it was probably a selfish thought. I couldn't help, though, but mourn within at the thought that I'd soon no longer be able to look into her beautiful eyes for wisdom, love and comfort again. I'd soon no longer see that faint hint of mischievousness glimmer in them as she'd steal glances over at my grandfather across a crowded room. Ah, the love the two of them shared! If only there was more of it in this world things would look a lot different.
We always waited for my grandfather to come home from working with prisoners at the city's jail. My grandmother's secret to a happy marriage when I asked her a few days before she passed: never go to bed without telling your spouse you love them and never go to bed angry with one another. No matter how long it takes don't go to bed with a seed of bitterness planted. Uproot it so that only love is left. (paraphrasing) I will never forget how we all embraced my grandfather as he entered the door. A small merry band heralding his return. The pungent smell of prison still on his clothes. I breathed it in, savoring the scent unique only to that one moment.
This post is intended to not only reflect my thoughts and reflections towards losing my grandmother but also to serve as a tribute towards her. To recognize what an amazing person she was and how she caused gardens of love to blossom wherever her feet tread. I usually only include one picture in each post but I feel inspired to include more this time around so as to share a little of the person my grandmother was with all who happen by in attempts of honoring her memory. Hope you enjoy them. (Note: blogger is giving me issues so pardon the format)
Thoughts? I always love hearing them! Please leave them in the comments section. Thank you!

Earlier today it was reported that heavyweight legend Mirko Filipovic was leaning towards a return to Mixed Martial Arts after retiring from the sport in late 2011. Since hanging up his gloves "Cro Cop" has kept himself busy by competing as a kickboxer, picking up a pair of wins in the past year with designs on a K-1 World Grand Prix title in the coming months.
While the idea of a comeback to MMA is always nice when attached to a competitor with the Croatian's credentials, in the case of Filipovic he's better off sticking with pure stand-up against other guys from yesteryear like Ray Sefo than coming back to MMA where he's likely to further tarnish his already fading legacy.
During his final run in the UFC, Filipovic not only lost his last three fights but was knocked out in the trio of tilts. Even his victory over Pat Barry came after being blasted early on and essentially surviving due to Barry's admiration blinding him from the job at hand. The reality is Filipovic hasn't won a significant scrap in six years. His triumphs have come against relative nobodies and the few legitimate opponents he's faced have flattened him. He's also 37 so his skills as a striker are in decline rather than on the rise, unless of course he's been talking to Chael Sonnen's doctor in recent months.
Sure, Filipovic can sign with ONE FC or Super Fight League and potentially bring home a win or two against guys who are past their primes or never quite had the talent to excel to an elite level. Heck, Tim Sylvia or Andrei Arlovski would even make for interesting opponents and possibly even beatable ones. But, at the end of the day, he'll still be taking out guys who mean nothing in today's landscape, yet imagine the blow to his reputation if he loses to a guy like James Thompson or Todd Duffee. The risk is simply not worth the reward.
Ultimately, there's no good reason for Filipovic to come back. He has nothing to prove and all it will do little more than remind the world he may be better than average but that's about it. A man who was once one of the Top 3 heavyweights in MMA doesn't need to stoop to that sort of status.

An interview from the 2017 International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam with Alex Grossman of Symply Inc. Symply is an innovative developer of high-speed digital storage solutions, designed for media professionals – from the single editor to an entire facility. In this interview we talk with Alex about SymplyULTRA, the next evolution of the ultra-modern collaborative storage workspace.
SymplyULTRA is a truly complete collaborative 'workspace' – developed from the latest available technologies including proven Intel Xeon multi-core processors and a bedrock Linux operating system. The advanced architecture features a powerful software-defined virtualized RAID and application hosting environment that deeply integrates high-availability StorNext5 integration with nearly unlimited tuning and optimization capabilities. This powerful combination allows SymplyULTRA to deliver on the concept of the 'complete collaborative workspace' – an inclusive collaboration environment for Fibre Channel and Ethernet users. While ensuring truly seamless collaboration and connectivity – the system is absolutely designed for performance. With eight 16Gb Fibre Channel ports users can handle the demands of online 4K editing, while eight additional 10Gb Ethernet ports are provided for proxy editing, graphics, review and other lower bandwidth operations that are ideal for Ethernet.

The wounding rates, especially on the lake trout, are used as one of the measures of success. That's monitored, and those come from the commercial fishermen reporting the wounding rates they're seeing.
In general, if you look back on the historical data, there has been a decrease in the wounding rates. Some of the numbers are up a bit at the moment. We're working on some of that to figure out why the numbers of sea lamprey are down but the wounding rate is up. That may also depend on the numbers of fish that are there and the opportunities that are there.

Positioning in Extract / Replicat Trail and Log
In the event that there is ever a need to position an extract in the Transaction Log (aka redo log), extract trail file or replicat trail file, the following options can be used:
INFO EXTRACT <groupname>, DETAIL
This will name your current redo log along with the RBA and sequence number and your extract trail name along with the RBA. RBA is the relative byte address of the record in the trail file at which the checkpoint was made
Will show you your read checkpoint in the data source and write checkpoint in the trail files.
Log Read Checkpoint File /orarac/oradata/racq/redo01.log ß- Oracle redo 2006-06-09 14:16:45 Thread 1, Seqno 47, RBA 68748800 info Log Read Checkpoint File /orarac/oradata/racq/redo04.log 2006-06-09 14:16:19 Thread 2, Seqno 24, RBA 65657408 Current Checkpoint Detail: Read Checkpoint #1 Oracle RAC Redo Log Startup Checkpoint (starting position in data source): Sequence #: 47 RBA: 68548112 ß– RBA offset of entry in redo log Timestamp: 2006-06-09 13:37:51.000000 SCN: 0.8439720 Redo File: /orarac/oradata/racq/redo01.log Recovery Checkpoint (position of oldest unprocessed transaction in data source): Sequence #: 47 RBA: 68748304 Timestamp: 2006-06-09 14:16:45.000000 SCN: 0.8440969 Redo File: /orarac/oradata/racq/redo01.log Current Checkpoint (position of last record read in the data source)
Write Checkpoint #1 GGS Log Trail ß– start of GG Trail Information Current Checkpoint (current write position): Sequence #: 2 RBA: 2142224 ß– RBA offset of entry in Trail file Timestamp: 2006-06-09 14:16:50.567638 Extract Trail: ./dirdat/eh Header: Version = 2 Record Source = A Type = 6 # Input Checkpoints = 2 # Output Checkpoints = 1
Once you have your checkpoint RBAs, you can use a few ggsci commands to help you debug:
ADD EXTRACT <groupname>
Allows creation of an extract from a specific position in a trail file or transaction log. Some useful options are:
EXTTRAILSOURCE <trail name> Specifies a trail as the data source. For <trail name>, specify the fully qualified path name of the trail, for example c:\ggs\dirdat\aa.
BEGIN <begin spec> Specifies a timestamp in the data source at which to begin processing. < begin spec> value is either: □ NOW – the time at which the ADD EXTRACT command is issued. □ A date and time in the format of: yyyy-mm-dd [hh:mi:[ss[.cccccc]]]
*** if you have a 4-node RAC cluster environment, use the "THREADS 4" option to any command to which it applies.
EXTRBA <relative byte address> Specifies an RBA at which to start extracting. This can be used to skip over a bad entry in a trail file.
ALTER EXTRACT <group name>
Allows changing the attributes of an extract file created by the ADD EXTRACT command and allows the incrementing of an extract to the next file in the sequence.
***Always "STOP EXTRACT <group name>" before using this command.
You can use this command to make any changes using any of the options to the ADD EXTRACT command (above). So, for example, you can ALTER EXTRACT an extract file to begin at a specific RBA for skipping over an entry in the extract file. Ex.: ALTER EXTRACT finance, EXTSEQNO 26, EXTRBA 338
You can change any of the attributes specified with the ADD EXTRACT command, except for the following: □ Altering an Extract specified with the EXTTRAILSOURCE option. □ Altering the number of RAC threads specified with the THREADS option.
Allows you to send commands to a running extract process. Some useful options are:
GETLAG shows lag time between the extract and the data source
LOGEND shows whether or not extract has processed all record in the data source
ROLLOVER makes extract increment to the next file in the trail upon startup
SHOWTRANS shows information about current transactions: □ Process Checkpoint □ Transaction ID □ Extract Group Name □ Redo Thread Number □ Timestamp of first transaction of extract □ System Change Number (SCN) □ RBA and Redo Log Number □ STATUS ( commit after it has been forced by FORCETRANS (Pending Commit) or "running")

Mixed in with the mountains in the Cachi gorge are stretches of cactus plains.
Careful where you sit!
Pablo also took us on walks through the rugged countryside.
And into cattle canyons.
But the real point of this post is to show you the fun we had driving. Remember how I told you that drivers here are crazy? I mean outside Buenos Aires, even cities like Salta with oiver 600,000 people have almost no stop lights or stop signs. Cars race up to an intersection. If there's a hole in the traffic flow they floor it. Otherwise -- AAA!!! As a pedestrian, it feels like being in a carnival game of Whack-A-Mole where you're the mole!
Same craziness here in the mountains. A single dotted line means, feel free to drive on the wrong side of the road -- in fact, we insist! A double solid line when approaching a hairpin turn where you can't see what's ahead means, "Hey, it's up to you, bro." On the few occasions Argentinians are serious, they actually paint huge exclamation marks in the lanes, and then it's kinda like, "Don't say we didn't warn you!"
Here Pablo shows us the happy-go-lucky driving spirit that makes traveling here so much fun.
1) Talk to passengers in the backseat to make sure they're happy. Use your hands to make your points.
2) At curves, take your eyes off the road and flash a smile out the window at pretty girls hitchhiking. Or just check yourself out in the side mirror.
3) As you sail through the air over the cliff, reassure the screaming passengers in the back seat.
4) Leap before the crash and have lunch ready for when your passengers climb back to the road. (If they're kinda dead, make them a nice stone marker. Flowers optional.)
Next stop Cachi, salt flats, and pre-Incan settlements!
Till then,

Wow, that looked like a barrel of monkeys! I'm suddenly jonesing for a road-trip!ReplyDelete
Huge fun, yes! Iguazu Falls and the north-west of Argentina around Salta beat Buenos Aires hands down. Next post is of the astonishing salt flats and the glorious 7-Coloured Mountain! Gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Just read that post and commented. Beautiful stuff! I really should save up and take a proper holiday one of these days.ReplyDelete

Back in my believing days, I said that my favorite scripture was this passage in 3 Nephi 11:
18 And it came to pass that he spake unto Nephi (for Nephi was among the multitude) and he commanded him that he should come forth.
19 And Nephi arose and went forth, and bowed himself before the Lord and did kiss his feet.
20 And the Lord commanded him that he should arise. And he arose and stood before him.
I could picture myself being called out of the crowd to step forward and kiss the feet of the Savior. But I was convinced that I would not be able to "arise" and stand before him and look him in the eye. I knew I wasn't worthy to be in his presence, and I prayed and longed for the day that I could feel clean and worthy to stand before him. I loved the scripture not because it made me feel good but because it gave me something to strive for, even if I didn't think I'd ever get there.
Once night during the time when I was working at the Church Office Building, I dreamed that my son, who was then about 5 years old, called to me to come into my office.
"Jesus is here," he said, smiling happily. "And he wants to see you."
In my dream I was terrified at the thought of having to account for myself in front of the Savior, and no matter how much my son pulled on my hand and pleaded with me, I wouldn't go in to see Jesus. I awoke sweating and shaky, convinced that I was never going to be worthy to be in the Savior's presence.
I'm not sure what reminded me of that today, but I realized that I don't feel like that anymore. I don't feel worthless and ashamed. I feel peace and contentment. Strange, huh?

I know you're not going to believe this, but most of my blog articles take quite a while to put together. It may look like an effortless splurge of genius prose after genius prose, but it is most definitely not effortless. As for the blog being a work of genius - well for be for me to say. I suppose that it doesn't help that I have the typing skills of a drunk one-legged Armadillo or that I frequently write something wonderful, then five minutes later recognise it for the catastrophically inept piece of writing that it actually is. If that wasn't enough, I also tend to take an age in obsessively selecting the right pictures and layout for each piece. I know, I have no life.
It all means that I wish that I could be more prolific than I am, but my pedantic nature means that this simply will not change. I know what you're going to say; "No, no, no, you take as much time as you need. In fact, you should take even more time in between posts..... maybe a year or so perhaps?"
Well once again I'm going to fly in the face of public opinion with a new series of articles - The 5D Blog Bite.
The 5D Blog Bite is a series of smaller bite-sized articles that will feature in-between the traditional longer in-depth features. In other words, the bites are still my self-obsessed and self-indulgent musings on various scifi, horror & fantasy things that catch my eye. The good news then for the Internetland is that some blog pieces are going to be much shorter, with fewer pictures and less obsession with layout from myself. The bad news for you guys is that there will be more blog articles.
The inaugural 5D Blog Bite features the very latest podcast episode from our friends across the pond at King Falls AM, the home of the small secluded mountain town that has more than its fare share of paranormal goings on.
Episode Fourteen: Date Night At The Library
Sammy & Ben welcome Dan & Larry from television's Mission: Apparition to King Falls with an exclusive interview and investigation from the King Falls Library.
You can listen to yet another slice of comedy infused paranormal activity the link below, brought to you by the late night show of Sammy & Ben - well done, fellas...... another winner!
Anyway, if any of you good people reading this want to help to promote the show and the King Falls AM station, just send Sammy a message and they'll converse with you and plug and all that happy jazz. Sammy can be reached on Twitter through his handle at @KingFallsSammy
You can also locate the show itself on Twitter via @KingFallsAM

Of course, here at Glentrek, we already rate the Cairngorms very, very highly. With the national park on our doorstep, we're intimately familiar with its beautiful and magnificent landscape. And now leading worldwide publication, the National Geographic, has ranked the Cairngorms among the last great places on Earth
The list includes other such places as unspoiled beauty, such as Madagascar, the Gobi Desert and the Galapagos Islands.
The US magazine has included the Cairngorms in its 50 of the World's Last Great Places, describing it as a "destination of a lifetime".
And Scottish promoters could not be more thrilled. VisitScotland chairman Mike Cantlay is reported as saying: "Our country boasts some of the most stunning landscapes in the world, so it's no surprise the Cairngorms has been named as a must-visit destination by National Geographic."
And Duncan Bryden, convener of the Cairngorms National Park Authority, added: "We are absolutely delighted with this accolade and to be the only UK entry is simply fantastic."
In a press release, a spokesman for National Geographic said: "Our spirits are refreshed by such pristine locations as the Cairngorms."
If you're looking for a great Christmas present for someone special why not treat them to a guided walking trip to the Cairngorms (Glentrek can help!)? You can also buy them "50 of the World's Last Great Places" published by National Geographic for £6.99.
