csma: next meeting on next Tuesday
<sandro> ACTION: [DONE] Christian will investigate RIF Teleconf overlapping with DAWG/SPARQL [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/04/04-rif-minutes.html#action04]
csma: proposal to accept the last minute… Proposes to postpone the acceptation.
<LeoraMorgenstern> about the minutes --- some action items weren't there
<sandro> ACTION: Leora to set up draft proposal on what we mean by FOL [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/04/18-rif-minutes.html#action02]
<sandro> ACTION: Leora to write up CSF for FOL [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/04/18-rif-minutes.html#action03]
<sandro> (these were from last time, but not recorded.)
csma: We'll put those in retro-actively. About F2F4, it is the last day for proposal.
<sandro> ACTION: Sandro set up straw-poll on F2F4 (MITRE - 3 different dates - and Peter/ISWC) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/04/18-rif-minutes.html#action04]
Chris: straw-poll indicates the preference between the proposals.
<PaulaP> one vote per organization?
csma: a form per organization, not per individual.
<sandro> Deborah_Nichols: Will we have phone call-in ability for F2F3?
<sandro> ACTION: [DONE] Sandro to set up registration page for F2F3 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/04/11-rif-minutes.html#action03]
<sandro> http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/38457/f2f3reg/
<johnhall> sorry, can't get on audio yet
<MoZ> csma, me too, i'm interest by telcon ability
Paula: I think we'll have a conference phone open the whole day, but I'm not sure.
<SaidTabet> same question for IRC please.
<sandro> ACTION: Paula to check on phone-call-in capability, and if we'll have a speaker phone, and network? [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/04/18-rif-minutes.html#action06]
<MoZ> liaison with Xquery is difficult because of overlapping
csma: About design constraint, what is Sandro's naming proposal for "prolog-horn" constaint ?
<sandro> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Horn_Logic
sandro: proposes "horn prolog"
<FrankMcCabe> I think ordered horn logic is better
<MoZ> +1 ordered horn clauses
<IanH> -1 to calling it a logic!
<edbark> I like Horn Prolog == Horn intersect Prolog
<FrankMcCabe> I think that the subset that you are interested in is sometimes called "clean prolog"
<Harold> Ian, so you also don't like linear 'logic' :-)
<Harold> What about "Sequential Horn Clauses"? Does not mention 'logic'.
<sandro> "Sequential Horn Clauses with Prolog Syntax"
<Harold> Fine with me!
csma: Using prolog refers to a concrete syntax
Francois: The name "Prolog" would suggest a full compatibility with a programming language -- something beyond what we can achieve in 1 year.
<MoZ> everybody agree to have "Horn" in the name
<Francois> Call it "Horn Clauses"!!!!
<MoZ> MoZ prefer the extension of horn as the subsetting or Prolog
<Francois> Can I say one more word?
Francois: we need
something including horn logic with a prolog like syntax. Just give
<Francois> I do not understand Sandro's viewpoint.
<Francois> I would like Sandro to write down his viewpoint.
<Francois> I'll write my view point down.
Sandro: I'm not saying RIF should have procedural
semantics, I'm saying we need to show how to use
<Hassan> +1
<Hassan> +1 on moving on
Sandro: Then why pick up the very old lady Prolog is and not one of the young and sexy business rule languages?
<sandro> Francois, because we all more-or-less know Prolog.
<Zakim> sandro, you wanted to respond!
<Francois> Sandro, who is "we", the academic crowd or the Business Rule uses?
<sandro> Francois, "we" is the 22 people on this call.
<Francois> Do we
design a
csma: Should RDF triples
be supported by
<sandro> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/The_RIF_Core_must_be_able_to_accept_RDF_triples_as_data
<sandro> Dave: The condition part of the a rule could match RDF triples
csma: doesn't that mean
csma: If RDF triple accepted as data, should SPARQL query be embeddable in
dave: it's more a subset of SPARQL -- the
triple-match part. It leaves open whether RDF data is translated or not, like
csma: what any consequences of accepting this requirement?
csma: do we mean: any RIF-compliant application, receiving a ruleset that refers to RDF triples should be able to process them?
Dave: cf RDF Compatibility pages --- binary predicates map to RDF triples; or a single "triple" predicate -- providing either of these would meet this requirement.
<sandro> (I find myself needing to see some designs before I can really understand CSMA's questions)
csma/sandro: as phrased this requirement is perhaps too broad to be useful in distinguishing between designs.
allen: maybe there's a CSF here about RDF-compatibility.
Dave: I agree, in my straw-man breakdown I had "RDF Compatibility" as the 3rd CSF. This was one part of that.
<csma> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2006Apr/0005.html
JosDeRoo: also RDF simple entailment rules? are they covered by this requirement? RDFS-Closure
<Zakim> sandro, you wanted to ask about RDF/XML Parser
csma: Is there a volunteer for a use case using RDF triple ?
sandro: I'd like to see this tied in with a use case, a scenario where RDF data is used and matters.
<PaulaP> there is a use case concerning access to RDF and XML data.
<Francois> PaulaP is right. We already have such a use case
<PaulaP> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Rule-Based_Combined_Access_to_XML_and_RDF_Data contains examples of rules.
sandro: And I'd like to see whether or not we need
an RDF/XML parser in all
<MoZ> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/UCR/Interchanging_Rule_Extensions_to_OWL
Francois: Supporting RDF
triple is a central feature. If not supported,
<Francois> Thanks Christian for clarifying!
csma: Dave should explicit the link between use case and requirement.
<PaulaP> the use case is not in the UCR document
Dave: The charter requirements about RDF are not covered by the current use case.
<Allen> probably in the last one: Vocabulary Mapping for Data Integration
<Francois> +1 with
<edbark> I think I will object to Sandro's rqmt for RDF parser
<sandro> why, edbark?
<Francois> Christian: the specific requirement is to work out a semantics covering Blank Nodes. This is a tough issue. But the only tough issue.
+1 to accepting
<MoZ> csma there is a UCR with "Requirements on the rule interchange format include semantic compatibility with OWL-DL and RDF"
<edbark> Sandro, it's not about syntax, it's about assertions
Frank: The semantic of prolog is incompatible with RDF.
<Francois> What means "The semantic of prolog is incompatible of RDF"? it is defined, it is different. One can make both of them compatible.
<Hassan> +1 with Frank
<IanH> Then we are done already aren't we? Surely exchanging rules is trivial if we don't care about interoperability.
<DaveReynolds> +1 to IanH
<Francois> +1 with accepting RDF assertions with their semantics
Francois: What kind of rules we need? Rules with a prolog like syntax working with XML, RDF and OWL data.
<edbark> +1 to Francois
Francois: Old rule languages do not fit our needs. What is the meaning of rules? Deduction rules, constraints rules (DB, OWL, RDF), rules realizing changing (production rule).
<PaulaP> there are requirements regarding the different types of rules
<PaulaP> on the design constraints wiki page
<sandro> ACTION: Francois write up what he's saying on the DesignConstraints page [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/04/18-rif-minutes.html#action09]
Francois: we need a clear
declarative semantics.
Frank: We're not necessarily designing a new language, we're talking about interchanging existing rule languages.
MichaelKifer: I propose we resolve to never mention Prolog in the telecon.
<sandro> ...: It's an ill-formed question. If you send me some prolog text, what should I do with it? How many answers will it give before it perhaps goes into a loop where it doesn't terminate.
Sandro and Michael: Look at practical Use Cases like EU-Rent. The points are right but academic.
<sandro> Move to adjourn!
<Hassan> +1
<JosDeRoo> Francois, the rules I meant are http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#RDFSRules

You like Disgaea art pictures, right dood!?
What about seeing Laharl in all his glory in sketch form!?
You can get that and more in the digital copy of the Disgaea PC - Digital Art Book, dood! You'll find 46 pages of Disgaea PC art, pencil sketches and maybe a dood here and there!
Disgaea's digital artbook is 46 pages, the book is more for looking at character details than interesting artwork. It's not too interesting as it is mostly a shot of the character with some information about them and small sketches next to them with a few notes and some funny Prinny commentary about the character. If you are a fan they can be amusing but they are easily skipped if you already know about the characters, if you are a big fan that prefers to have physical art books of the series, or are just a casual fan of the series or just getting into it.
I am not generally a fan of buying art books or OST's, so I'm very middle of the line with how to review this. The pictures are very nice, but you can find similar or better, and some of the same pics online for free on fan sites, google, etc. If you really like to collect this kind of stuff it's great, but I personally would much rather have a nice physical copy than a bunch of digital pics to look at or have to print out myself.

Thank you to Todd who is one of our forum moderators at http://www.whatsupinthesky.com for sharing this one in the forum. I am sure others have found this before although NASA sure did hide it well in the Black and White footage on their website. Making it harder for the public to see things like that if it wasn't for people like Todd and oh so many more going through the 100 percent lossless files as well as the 8 bit versions of them that come directly from the rover. It takes us six months to between PDS dumps which often have older images on them as well. So let me know what you think below? Artifact or Natural? My mind isn't made up on this one yet!

NetBSD finds he disk correctly, but I think it doesn't recognize them fully, at least the write cache is not detected and the system is awfully slow. I've got two other Dell M610 with NetBSD and the same controller without RAID set and they work fine, so I guess it's a problem with the RAID controller.

Asterisk Linux Mandrake
Asterisk on Mandrake Linux
Since Mandrake 10.1, asterisk is available in contrib, with the zaptel tools available in the zaptel-utils package. The zaptel drivers are available in contrib (as a dkms package dkms-zaptel) since Mandriva 2005. Installing an asterisk system on Mandriva 2005 can be done with 'urpmi asterisk zaptel-utils dkms-zaptel' if you have a contrib medium available, which should install all the necessary packages (including kernel-source-2.6 and dkms to be able to build the drivers via dkms). Note that if you prefer not installing compilers etc. on your asterisk system that you can use 'dkms mkrpm -m zaptel -k `uname -r` -v `rpm -q --qf "%{VERSION}\n" dkms-zaptel`' on another system to build binary driver RPMS, where `uname -r` is actually the result on your asterisk server.
Mandrake 9.1
> make: bison: Command not found

IIRC Mandrake 9.1 does not have Bison it has Bison++ or something, I had
the same problems and took a real Bison rpm from an earlier release.
Mandrake 10.1
Several problems depending on install type
> make: bison: Command not found

Solution: edit /usr/include/linux/ixjuser.h file. Change the following line (353):
^IXJ_CADENCE_ELEMENT __user *ce; <-------line 353^
You must add a , (comma):
^IXJ_CADENCE_ELEMENT __user, *ce;^
NOTE — The above is also a problem on CentOS kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3... the same fix allows you to compile asterisk on that kernel. — mxyoung 3-3-2007

Revelation 2:13
Sermon preached on August 1, 2011 by Laurence W. Veinott. © Copyright 2011. All rights reserved. Other sermons can be found at http://www.cantonnewlife.org/.
Unless otherwise noted, quotations are from The Holy Bible: New International Version (NIV). Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society. Used by permission of Zondervan Publishing House.
In late 1967 it seemed that the U.S. was making great progress in the Vietnam War. In mid-November Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey went on NBC's 'Today Show' and declared,
"We are beginning to win this struggle. We are on the offensive. Territory is being gained. We are making steady progress."
General William C. Westmoreland, the commander of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, gave a speech at the National Press Club about a week later and declared that the communists were,
"unable to mount a major offensive...I am absolutely certain that whereas in 1965 the enemy was winning, today he is certainly losing...We have reached an important point when the end begins to come into view."
General Bruce Palmer, Jr., one of Westmoreland's Field Force commanders, claimed that
"the Viet Cong has been defeated… he can't get food and he can't recruit. He has been forced to change his strategy from trying to control the people on the coast to trying to survive in the mountains."
Yet just over two months after the Vice President's remarks, on January 31, 1968 the North Vietnamese launched the Tet Offensive, a series of coordinated attacks on South Vietnamese cities and military installations. Over 80,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers launched attacks on approximately 100 cites and towns. Saigon was the capital of South Vietnam and it was one of the cities that was attacked. Five important installations in Saigon were targeted—including the army headquarters, a navy base, Independence Palace, the home and workplace of the President of South Vietnam and the U.S. Embassy. At 2:45 A.M. a group of North Vietnamese soldiers blasted a hole through the wall of the U.S. Embassy and occupied parts of it for almost seven hours.
The effect of the Tet Offensive was profound. Even though the Tet Offensive was not a military success in itself—the communists were beaten back and suffered heavy losses—just about all of the optimism about defeating them evaporated. It showed a lot of people that the war was not going well. Many people started thinking that the war was unwinnable. If the North Vietnamese could mount attacks in the very capital of South Vietnam, at the presidential palace, at the U.S. Embassy—their power was far greater than had been believed. Some people became convinced that there would be no stopping them.
We have a similar situation in our text. Jesus established a church in Pergamum—in Satan's capital, where Satan had his throne. Although the church in Pergamum was struggling in certain ways—their presence, their faithfulness and Jesus' words of commendation teach us important lessons about evangelism and the kingdom of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. This is what we're going to look at this morning. Jesus said to the church in Pergamum. (Revelation 2:13)
"I know where you live
—where Satan has his throne.
Yet you remain true to my name.
You did not renounce your faith in me,
even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness,
who was put to death in your city—where Satan lives."
Satan had his throne in Pergamum. But Jesus put a church there. This is significant. Not only that, but Jesus wanted His church there to endure. What does this teach us?
First of all, it shows us that
we are to take the battle right to the enemy.
This world is a dark, evil place. It's now like it was when John wrote about Jesus in John 3:19–20,
"This is the verdict:
Light has come into the world,
but men loved darkness instead of light
because their deeds were evil.
Everyone who does evil hates the light,
and will not come into the light
for fear that his deeds will be exposed."
Many people today don't want to hear the gospel. People love their sin. They want the church to be quiet about sin. They want the church to stop calling sin, sin. They want us to stop telling them that certain things are wrong. They want us to leave them alone. Today's society is just like the society of Isaiah's day. In Isaiah 30:9–11 it says,
"These are rebellious people, deceitful children,
children unwilling to listen to the LORD'S instruction.
They say to the seers,
'See no more visions!'
and to the prophets,
'Give us no more visions of what is right!
Tell us pleasant things, prophesy illusions.
Leave this way, get off this path,
and stop confronting us with the Holy One of Israel!"
It was that way in the city of Pergamum. Pergamum wanted nothing to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was devoted to other gods. Pergamum had the oldest temple in the area devoted to emperor worship. It was built in 20 B.C. and was dedicated to 'the divine Augustus and the goddess Roma'. (Johnson, The Triumph of the Lamb, p. 75) Pergamum also had a temple dedicated to Asklepios the Savior, the patron god of healing. His symbol was a serpent. Pergamum also had an enormous altar to Zeus. Pergamum was a great center of idolatry.
One of the distinguishing things about the idolaters Pergamum is that they would not tolerate Christians who were faithful to Jesus. Antipas, a Christian, who Jesus described as,
"my faithful witness",
had actually been killed because of his faithfulness to Jesus. The whole environment in Pergamum was hostile to Christianity. Faithful Christians were being persecuted. Satanic influences were dominant.
Yet Jesus wanted His church to be there. He wanted Christians to be there. He didn't say to them,
"What were you thinking, establishing a church there?"
There's no hint of anything like that. Of course not. We're don't know how the church at Pergamum was established but we know it was in accordance with God's plan and will. Jesus directed the spread of the gospel and the growth of the church. You'll remember in Acts 16 we are told how God directed the evangelism of Paul. We read, (verses 6-10)
"Paul and his companions traveled
throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia,
having been kept by the Holy Spirit
from preaching the word
in the province of Asia.
When they came to the border of Mysia,
they tried to enter Bithynia,
but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.
So they passed by Mysia
and went down to Troas.
During the night Paul had a vision
of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him,
'Come over to Macedonia and help us.'
After Paul had seen the vision,
we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia,
concluding that God had called us
to preach the gospel to them."
God directed the spread of the gospel. He wanted a church in Pergamum and He established it there.
What does Jesus tell His church? What's His overall message to the church in the city where Satan has His throne?
He wanted them to persevere. He wanted them to remain there even after Antipas had been killed. Jesus doesn't tell them to flee. There's no suggestion of that. Rather, He commends them for being faithful. He urges them to keep the church pure. He urges them to overcome—to conquer.
When Jesus told His disciples to go into all the world—the Great Commission—He meant it. In the Great Commission Jesus said, (Matthew 28:18–20)
"All authority in heaven and on earth
has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you."
Jesus wanted His church in Pergamum. Jesus sent His messengers right into the heart of darkness, right into the enemy capital. His actions in doing that remind me of what Jesus said as He was sending out the 12 in Matthew 10:16. He said,
"I am sending you out
like sheep among wolves."
This shows us that
nowhere is off limits to the gospel.
The gospel of Jesus Christ should be proclaimed everywhere. The gospel was for Pergamum. The gospel was even for Rome, the capital of the Roman empire. Robert Mounce writes,
"As Rome had become the center of Satan's activity in the West… so Pergamum had become his 'throne' in the East."
Both were claimed for Jesus. Remember how the apostle Paul said he wanted to go to Rome with the gospel and preach the gospel there? In Acts 19:21 we read,
"After all this had happened,
Paul decided to go to Jerusalem,
passing through Macedonia and Achaia.
'After I have been there,' he said,
'I must visit Rome also.'"
Jesus wanted Paul to go to Rome. In Acts 23:11, we read,
"The following night the Lord
stood near Paul and said, 'Take courage!
As you have testified about me in Jerusalem,
so you must also testify in Rome.'"
What did Paul do when he got to Rome? At the very end of the book of Acts we read, (Acts 28:30–31)
"For two whole years Paul stayed there
in his own rented house and
welcomed all who came to see him.
Boldly and without hindrance
he preached the kingdom of God
and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ."
Paul proclaimed Christ in Rome.
How does this apply to us?
First of all, it means that we really need to be much more missionary minded.
The church is not just about us, about our congregation, how we're doing.
We give a certain portion of our budget to missions. The portion that we give—is it the correct portion? Do we give enough to missions? Do we really have a passion for Jesus to be known where Satan has his throne. Are we supporting Christian workers enough? How passionate are we about wanting Jesus to be known in other Muslim nations? How passionate are we about fulfilling what the prophet talked about in Habakkuk 2:14,
"the earth will be filled with the knowledge
of the glory of the LORD,
as the waters cover the sea."
Adam and Krista are ministering in Mexico, where the drug cartels are exercising more and more violence against the people. Mexico needs the gospel.
Lauren W. is spending a couple of months in Tanzania. I don't think you can beat an experience like that for opening up eyes to how much Jesus is needed in the world. I read a letter that she wrote this past week about a little 8 year old girl in the hospital. Lucy was in a car accident with her mother three months ago. Her mother was killed. Lauren says the girl has no family and that the system over there for 8 year old children isn't good. Younger children are put in orphanages. But an 8 year old is too old for that. When she's released from the hospital she'll be on the street, fending for herself. Tanzania needs the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jack M. is studying to be a pastor. I know he has great needs. We're helping him. But are we doing enough?
Joe W. is a chaplain in Riverview Correctional Facility and does a great work. We also have a couple of other prison ministries. Prisons can be dark, evil places. Satan is active there. It could be easy to think, "We can concentrate on other things rather than the prisons." Prisoners need the gospel. Prisoners need the gospel.
Some college campuses are characterized by binge drinking, drugs, immorality. College kids need the gospel. Spiritually, college campuses can be dark places. Are we doing enough there?
Christianity is for everyone, every group and kind of people.
Think of your non-Christian neighbors. Are you concerned that they become Christians? Many Christians today try to isolate themselves from certain aspects of our society. They just have Christian friends. They move almost exclusively in Christian circles. They don't want to be corrupted by the world. That's a legitimate concern.
But withdrawing from non-Christians is the wrong thing to do. That's retreating instead of advancing. Jesus ate and drank with tax collectors and sinners. He saved prostitutes and adulterers. We can sometimes look at someone and we can be deceived into thinking that they're too bad for the gospel. People might have thought that about Saul of Tarsus.
Be bold in witnessing about Jesus to those who you think wouldn't accept Jesus. Don't just have Christian friends. Sure, I understand that you don't want to be influenced toward evil and you have to guard against that. But how are your acquaintances going to get to know Christ unless you befriend them, love them, show them Christ living in you?
Secondly, our text shows us that
we are to be overt about the gospel in a hostile society.
We are to proclaim the gospel to everyone—even people who don't want to hear it. The people in Pergamum didn't want to hear it. But Jesus put his church there. Antipas was put to death because he was bold in following Jesus.
We are to shine like stars in the universe as we hold out the Word of God. Consider the preaching of the apostles in the book of Acts. They didn't pull any punches. They told people they had to repent. They told people that God was going to come in judgment.
Today in our society there is great pressure on the church not to be overt in proclaiming Christ. People tell us that it's arrogant to believe that Jesus is the only way people can be saved. They tell us that we should just let people be, let them be as they are, and not try to convert them.
Don't give in to the world. Some professing Christians do. This past week I read an article by Carl Medearis on CNN. He's been a missionary to Lebanon for over 20 years. When he first went there he was concerned about evangelizing and 'converting' people. But he's now come to the conclusion that that's not what Christians should be doing. He said,
"Funny thing is, Jesus never said, 'Go into the world and convert people to Christianity.' What he said was, 'Go and make disciples of all nations.'""What if evangelicals today, instead of focusing on 'evangelizing' and 'converting' people, were to begin to think of Jesus not as starting a new religion, but as the central figure of a movement that transcends religious distinctions and identities?""Even the Apostle Paul insisted that it's faith in Jesus that matters, not converting to a new religion or a new socio-religious identity."
There's a lot of obscuring of the issues there. He seems to think that you can become a follower of Jesus without becoming a Christian. You can't. He seems to suggest that you can have faith in Jesus while remaining a Muslim. You can't.
Medearis' message seems to be that we need to tone down the gospel, even though he calls it elevating the gospel. He doesn't want the church to evangelize and make people Christians. When King Agrippa heard Paul preach it was quite clear to him that Paul was calling on him to believe in Jesus and become a Christian. He said to Paul, (Acts 26:28)
"Do you think that in such a short time
you can persuade me to be a Christian?"
The idea that Jesus didn't literally say that we are to into the world and convert people to Christianity is irrelevant. He may not have used those exact words—but that's what He told us to do.
Christians, don't compromise the message of Jesus.
The second thing our text implies is that
Satan is not the rightful ruler of anything. He is a usurper.
Jesus is the rightful ruler of every place and every human being. Although Satan
Although he is called the prince of the air in Ephesians 2:2, he is a usurper. He has no right to anything. Jesus owns everything. All things were created by Him and for His glory. Ephesians 1:9–10 says about God,
"he made known to us the mystery of his will
according to his good pleasure,
which he purposed in Christ,
to be put into effect when the times
will have reached their fulfillment—
to bring all things in heaven and on earth
together under one head, even Christ."
Ephesians 1:20–22 says that God the Father raised Jesus from the dead,
"and seated him at his right hand
in the heavenly realms,
far above all rule and authority,
power and dominion,
and every title that can be given,
not only in the present age
but also in the one to come.
And God placed all things under his feet
and appointed him to be head
over everything for the church,"
Colossians 1:15–17
"He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation.
For by him all things were created:
things in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones
or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him.
He is before all things,
and in him all things hold together."
Everything belongs to Jesus. The ancient city of Pergamum owed allegiance to Jesus, not Satan. We as Christians should not cede any part of this world to Satan. Jesus is Lord. He's Lord of every place. He's Lord over every government. He's Lord over every individual. We are to go out in His name and command people everywhere to repent.
The third thing our text implies is that
Jesus is going to win. He's defeated Satan. Victory is certain.
Satan's throne was in Pergamum, but Jesus' advance forces were there to tear it down. Jesus saved people in Pergamum. Jesus sent His disciples into the city where Satan had his throne and staked His claim to that city. Satan couldn't stop Him. Satan had Antipas killed, but the church endured. Jesus will His church.
Jesus has defeated Satan. Satan's fate is certain. He has been cast out of heaven. In Revelation 12:7–9 we read,
"And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels
fought against the dragon,
and the dragon and his angels fought back.
But he was not strong enough,
and they lost their place in heaven.
The great dragon was hurled down
—that ancient serpent called the devil,
or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.
He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."
Revelation 12:12 continues,
"Therefore rejoice, you heavens
and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea,
because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
because he knows that his time is short."
Lastly, for those of you who aren't Christians,
you should realize that unless you go to Jesus your fall is certain.
Pergamum was Satan's strongholds. Satan's people thought they were secure there. But they were not. Satan's throne is going to be destroyed. Revelation 18 tells of the fall of the great Babylon. Her sins were piled up to heaven. In her heart, she boasted, (Revelation 18:7–8)
"I sit as queen; I am not a widow,
and I will never mourn."
But God decreed her judgment. He said,
"Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her."
Later in Revelation 18:21–24 it says,
"Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder
the size of a large millstone
and threw it into the sea, and said:
With such violence the great city
of Babylon will be thrown down,
never to be found again.
The music of harpists and musicians,
flute players and trumpeters,
will never be heard in you again.
No workman of any trade
will ever be found in you again.
The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again.
The light of a lamp will never shine in you again.
The voice of bridegroom and bride
will never be heard in you again."
Jesus is going to conquer all His enemies. You need to embrace Him or you will be destroyed. Go to Jesus today. He's your only hope. He died for sinners. He offers you life. Repent and go to Him.

If you think you've had a long year, think how much longer it would be on Kepler-421b, which takes nearly twice as long as Earth to orbit its host star.
The newly discovered world has the longest known year of any exoplanet found using the transit method and circles its sun once every 704 of Earth's days. Most of the nearly two thousand exoplanets found by astronomers this way so far are hot worlds much closer to their stars with short orbital periods, but there are many alien worlds with much longer years that we can see directly.
Here in the Milky Way, Mars takes 780 days to get around the Sun, while a planet seen earlier this year orbiting the star GU Piscium has a massive orbit that takes around 163,000 Earth years to complete.
The transit method finds planets by watching for the dimming of the light of stars from Earth's point of view at regular periods, indicating that a planet is likely passing in front of it. But the further a world gets from its star, the harder it is for researchers here on Earth to spot it.
"Finding Kepler-421b was a stroke of luck," said David Kipping of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics (CfA). "The farther a planet is from its star, the less likely it is to transit the star from Earth's point of view. It has to line up just right."
Kipping is the lead author of the paper outlining the discovery of Kepler 421b, found in the data from the first mission of NASA's Kepler spacecraft. The space telescope watched the same patch of sky for four years, looking for the brief dip in the light of stars that would indicate a planet was crossing in front of them. Kepler is responsible for discovering nearly a thousand worlds this way so far and researchers are still sifting through the data and verifying other potential candidates.
The newest addition to the catalogue, Kepler 421b, orbits an orange, type K star that is cooler and dimmer than our own Sun and since it's orbiting around 110 million miles out, it's a fairly chilly world. The Uranus-sized planet, which is around a thousand light years from Earth, is subject to temperatures of -135 ° Fahrenheit.
It circles its sun beyond the snow line – the dividing line between rocky and gas planets. Outside this distance, water condenses into ice grains that stick together to build gas giant worlds.
"The snow line is a crucial distance in planet formation theory. We think all gas giants must have formed beyond this distance," explained Kipping.
But although a gas giant has to form this far out, many of these worlds are discovered quite close to their suns in orbits of as little as days or even hours. Astronomical theories suggest that these exoplanets often migrate back in towards their star early in their history, but 421b may have formed right where it was spotted.
"This is the first example of a potentially non-migrating gas giant in a transiting system that we've found ," said Kipping.
The Kepler telescope's original mission ended in May last year when it lost a second of its reaction wheels, but its remaining wheels are to be put to use again in the K2 mission. With just two of these components left, Kepler's view is now limited to a much narrower field, but it can still collect data on the parts of the sky it can see.

INTERVIEW: On the edge of the world, Sue Aikens lives 'Life Below Zero'
Susan Aikens, subject of the new National Geographic reality series Life Below Zero, is living a life most people either dream of or completely fear. Amid the rugged Alaskan wilderness, she holds court over Kavik River Camp, with no neighbors except the wild animals in the area. She's far, far from humanity, in a place where she recognizes her spot in the food chain.
Recently Hollywood Soapbox exchanged emails with the new reality star about her unusual life at sub-zero temperatures. The show premieres Sunday, May 19 at 10 p.m.
Living that far north of the Arctic Circle, in relative isolation, do you have more or less time to think about life's big questions?
Well, firstly, there is no "relative isolation." It is isolated, period. Life … it doesn't have questions, it has answers. I have as much or as little time to seek and look at life's offerings as I choose. That's the beauty of it isn't it? I get to choose. If I feel like digging for fossils for an entire day, just to see what things were like millions of years ago, I get to do that. My sandbox, my rules. Do I ponder the meaning of life? Not really. Not my bag. I accept that life is what it is, and will throw as many challenges my way as it can. My job and my passion is to recognize those challenges and overcome them, or succumb to them. (Okay, succumbing is for weenies, again … also, not my bag.)
What is the biggest misconception about your life at the Kavik River Camp?
The biggest misconception is that I am lonely. I don't get lonely, I do, however, register that I live alone. There is a huge difference in that. I find myself highly entertaining and amuse myself endlessly, so, no, I do not often feel the emotion of loneliness. I have grown comfortable and secure in who I am and what part of the food chain I represent (nowhere near the top).
The other misconception would be that I am running away from something. Sometimes we separate from the herd not to run away, but to run toward. I have managed to run toward a life where I get to call the shots … I accept that I am a food group and that every little comfort I possess or achieve is done on my own terms, not some corporation's and government's charity. I run toward the challenges in my life, not away from them.
Logistically, what are some of the toughest challenges for you on a daily basis?
Overall, the weather would be one of the greatest challenges. It is something you have no control over, and like the saying goes. "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes or fly five miles … it'll change." From storms that suddenly appear with winds close to 100 mph and temperatures near -100°F to fog that makes visibility nil and hampers planes and workload performance … weather is king out here. Logistically, I have to get all the supplies by the end of September that will last me until the following June. I typically will not see another person in that timeframe, so planning well is a must.
But on a daily basis? I don't think like that. I guess it would be a challenge for most that there is no task you perform on a daily basis that you do without the pistol on your hip, or without peeling your eyes away from the horizon. I am not the top of the food chain here, and I must never forget that. I don't see that as a challenge, though; it is just a fact. Long ago I accepted that I may be bear poop any day. Once you accept that fact, you obtain a good measure of freedom.
Are there ever times when you consider leaving Kavik River Camp?
If my family ever needed me more than I needed my freedom and wilderness, then yes. When you become a parent and grandparent, that is for life. Not 18 years. Do I ever dream about leaving Kavik? Nope. I will always wonder what is over the next hill. What would seeing the Great Barrier Reef feel like? Would they take a fat 50-year-old up to the moon? Pretty shiny things interest me, and one day I will mentally go "SQUIRREL!" and wander into my next exploration. True explorers tend to get consumed by that which they are currently exploring, but there is oh so much more out there. I feel that it is my job to explore. It is the job of the next place to intrigue me enough to do so.
What's the most alluring aspect of your life—are you living up North because of the wildlife, Kavik, a chance to be independent? Has this changed over time?
Like the saying says, "I'm out here … 'cause I'm not all there." I have always felt an affinity with the wildlife. I understand it. You always know exactly what the relationship is with an animal, or the tundra. No mystery. A bear wants to eat you, you don't want it to … pretty simple. People, however — not so clear there. A person can smile, befriend you, all the while whispering and condemning you behind the scenes. Political turmoil abounds. You would never see two grizzlies appearing on your television screen slurring each other's pasts in an effort to be the alpha grizz. Can you say that about a presidential campaign? Yikes! Humans waste a huge portion of their lives pointing fingers and enveloping themselves in drama, all the while the little grains of the sands of time are dropping, and less time is left for playing and giggling. The allure of the area is that I never have to grow up unless I want to. I can sing silly songs off-key and pick wildflowers for my table, and no one docks my pay packet. I can hunt for my own meat and never ask if it has growth hormones or a price hike making it unaffordable. If I fail at hunting and getting my heating oil, it is no one's fault but my own. No finger pointing at a bloated government or recession. If I fail, there is a permanent consequence. I kick my own ass, and then try a little harder. Failure is NOT an option — and I like that. Throw the worst you can at me: THAT makes me smile, set my eyes and grin while I come at the challenge. MY sandbox. MY rules. And if I don't win? Well, none of us get out of this alive, do we? I'll go down with fire in my eyes and one helluva legacy for the kids.

I've been telling you for a while that there is no such thing as a "National Real Estate Market" and that if you really want to understand what is going on, looking at the local picture (wherever local happens to be for you) is crucial.
Call it confirmation bias if you will, but here's an excerpt from Calculated Risk (by far the best Macro Coverage for real estate on the web, bar none) today that should ring familiar to regular readers:
"…it is location dependent now – although I expect to see some more price declines on the national repeat sales indexes. Some areas have a significant backlog of distressed homes, and there is no rush to buy in those areas. In other areas, prices have probably already bottomed (or are close enough that there will be some attractive prices.)
So where to find the best local data? Start with your local real estate organizations. Be cautious – Levels of transparency vary, and you do need to get beyond the headlines and press release bullet points, which almost always have a little topspin – these are trade orgs, after all.
In Minnesota, we are fortunate to have a set of local Realtor Orgs that do a great job with transparency, hit a mostly straight ball, and put the date into multiple formats to help both realtors and homeowners make better sense of it all. We are lucky to have them, really, as a resource.
My personal favorite's, data wise?
1. The monthly skinny video, which provides a nice flyover of the prior month's real estate activity, with good insight on what to take away from the raw numbers.
2. The Thing: For the analytical-at-heart, or those that want to dig deeper into local housing market trends. You can search and filter sales data by zip code, city, school district, property type, price band and more. The Thing, if you will forgive the phrase, is The Shit.

Bolt wins in Zagreb 100 metres
Usain Bolt continued to rebuild his air of invincibility with a peerless victory in the men's 100 metres in an IAAF World Challenge meet here Tuesday
Usain Bolt continued to rebuild his air of invincibility with a peerless victory in the men's 100 metres in an IAAF World Challenge meet here Tuesday.
The World sprint king from Jamaica put his false-start disqualification at the recent World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, firmly behind him, when he clocked a season's best 9.85 seconds in the first 100 metres he has contested since that ill-fated trip to the start line.
"It was a poor start," said Bolt. "I kind of lost concentration, and just went through the line. It was okay, I suppose, but I could have done better, especially with the weather like this."
Only four men have run faster than Bolt this year - Asafa Powell of Jamaica (9.78 secs), Tyson Gay of the United States (9.79), Steve Mullings of Jamaica (9.80) and World champion and training partner Yohan Blake, also of Jamaica (9.82).
Bolt came under pressure early, but finished well ahead of ageless World bronze medallist Kim Collins, the former World champion from St. Kitts & Nevis, with a season's best 10.01 secs, two hundredths-of-a-second ahead of Richard Thompson of Trinidad & Tobago.
Mario Forsythe, another Jamaican, finished fifth in 10.16.
Bolt was one of three Jamaicans that grabbed victories at the event at the Sports Park Mladost.
Novlene Williams-Mills redeemed herself, following a disappointing World championships, with a morale-boosting victory in the women's 400 metres.
Williams-Mills won in a meet record time of 50.31 seconds, prevailing over World silver medallist Anastasiya Kapachinskaya of Russia by nine-hundredths-of-a-second, with Shericka Williams, the Jamaica No.1, running third in 50.45.
Sprinter Schillonie Calvert followed up a runner-up position (11.13) behind World champion Carmelita Jeter (11.00) in the women's 100 with a victory in the 200 metres.
Calvert led a 1-2 finish for the Jamaicans in the half-lap, finishing with a time of 22.55 ahead of Sherone Simpson (22.95) and Bahamian veteran Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie (22.97).
Trinidad & Tobago quarter-miler Renny Quow was the only other English-speaking Caribbean athlete to make it to the podium, with a third-placed finish in the men's 400 metres in a time of 45.95, edging out Dominica's Erison Hurtault (46.21).
American LaShawn Merritt used the absence of World champion Kirani James of Grenada to give a gentle reminder with a victory in 45.22 ahead of compatriot Greg Nixon (45.73).
National record holder Dwight Thomas of Jamaica ran 13.25, finishing fourth in the men's 110 hurdles, which was won by Dayron Robles of Cuba in 13 seconds flat.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Rookie Doug Johnson was given the Atlanta Falcons' starting quarterback on Wednesday as coach Dan Reeves began looking ahead to next season.
Chris Chandler, the No. 1 quarterback since Reeves took charge of the Falcons in 1997, was dropped to No. 3 behind Johnson and Danny Kanell.
Reeves said the change had nothing to do with Chandler's critique of the coaching staff after Sunday's 41-14 loss at Oakland. The primary concern was Chandler's health, he said.
"Chris has been banged up and beat up. This is a chance to get him rest. For evaluation (of Johnson), I also think it's the best way for us to win."
After the Raiders loss, Chandler said the coaches should share the blame with players for the pitiful performance of the Falcons' offense this season.
"It's the players' responsibility to play better, and also I think it goes beyond that," Chandler said Sunday. "...I think maybe we can do better as a coaching staff also. It goes from top to bottom."
Reeves indicated Johnson's promotion is permanent, meaning the former Florida standout will enter 2001 as the starter.
"When I make a change like this, I don't plan for it being for the interim," Reeves said. "I've only seen Doug in a game at Denver and at Oakland. I'd like to see him in a little friendlier environment."
Johnson, who passed Kanell on the depth chart Nov. 15, will make his first NFL start when the Falcons (3-10) play host to the Seattle Seahawks (4-8) Sunday. He appeared in a 42-14 loss at Denver Sept. 10 and replaced Chandler in the second half of the Oakland game.
"It's a great opportunity for me to go out and play," said Johnson, who has completed 14-of -24 passes for 128 yards and one touchdown. "Hopefully, the things I've learned these past two weeks will come into play."
The injury-prone Chandler, who hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in five weeks, has absorbed 36 of his team's NFL-high 49 sacks. Atlanta ranks next-to-last in total offense with 249.4 yards per game.
Chandler said Wednesday he was disappointed with Reeves' decision, but "I understand his reasoning."
He said he and Reeves hold no resentment against each other.
"I just do what's asked of me," said Chandler, 35. "I don't read anything personal into it. I believe personal relationships should stay out of it."
Chandler, who has completed 168 of 292 passes for 1,992 yards, eight touchdowns and 11 interceptions, owns a 71.9 quarterback rating, his worst mark as a starter since 1988, his rookie year with Indianapolis.
He declined to speculate on whether his career with the Falcons will end soon, adding that he has been preoccupied with the health of his father-in-law, former San Francisco quarterback John Brodie, who is recovering from a stroke.
Chandler, a Pro Bowl selection in his first two years with Atlanta, was in the second year of a five-year, $27 million contract when the Falcons - seeking to clear room under the NFL salary cap - restructured his contract in 1999. A sixth year was added, giving him a base salary of $6.5 million in 2003.
But the contract is not guaranteed past this season.

Tag: Ten Commandments Law
Why God Said Remember!
1 Kings: 18: 21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, "How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people answered him not a word.
The one thing as a minister I can tell you is when God says something He means exactly what He says No fooling around, and if He is telling us to Remember something you better never forget it.
My last sermon was on the Ten Commandments and we seemed to have a problem in our world with Gods 4th commandment, the one dealing with Worship and what day to worship on. God says on the 7th day but man says no on the 1st day, my question to you is who do you believe and who do you obey.
As I study Gods word I find one problem with mankind stands out more than any other and that is the problem with obedience. All through the Bible you will find God pleading with Man to simply do what He says to do, no turning aside to the left or right, just simple obedience to His word, how hard can that be.
It all started with the Creation of our first parents, let's go to the book of Genesis and do some research. Genesis: 2: 15: Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."
There it is God created this beautiful world then He took the dust of the earth and created Man. But the very last thing He did was to create a help mate for man called Woman.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.23 And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
She was not to rule over the Man nor was she to be stepped on by man. Woman was taking out of the side of man, she was to stand with him by his side to be a companion, friend, helper, but the most importance roll she was to do was to be a life giver a Mother. In her the seed of man would reproduce itself, it is one of Gods many mysteries of life.
Genesis: 2: 8: The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9 And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
God is love He created this beautiful world and all the things that are in it for Mans enjoyment. He gave it all to Adam and said enjoy this beautiful world that I created just for you. God also planted a paradise garden and said to both Adam and Eve, "Remember" the one condition
Genesis 2: 15: Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."
Man was giving his first test to see if he would or would not obey his creator God. It was nothing big or something hard, but simple very simple "don't eat from this one tree". The fruit on it was just like all the others. The difference was that God said not to eat the fruit on this one tree.
Eve was warned not to go off far from her husband, but being busy she found herself closed to the forbidding tree
Genesis 3: 2: And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.'"4 Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
Do you see a problem, God said if you eat of this one tree you will surely die but Satan the snake said you will not surely die? It was a sad day for all mankind because both Adam and Eve ate the fruit fully knowing what God said would happen to them.
Romans 6:16: Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Luke 16:13 "No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
Does God mean what He says, you better believe it and right to the tee, God does not change midway or change to the left or right. When God said something He means it just like He said it.
Deuteronomy 5:32: Ye shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
OK so I hope you can see in this that when God said something he does not take it back or change it
Matthew 5: 17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
Luke 21:33: Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
Jesus it telling us as plane as He can that He did not come to change any of the laws or commandments of His Father God
However, there were some sacrifice laws of animal that were a shadow of what He Jesus came to do. The animal sacrifice all pointed to Him Jesus dyeing on the cross taking our Sins away. These Laws were all nailed to the Cross with Jesus that is why we don't have to sacrifice animal anymore because type and met antitype. The Blood of Christ paid it all on the cross, the Creator God dying for His creation.
OK, now let's get into what God said to Remember and 95% of Religious Leaders saying No it is OK to forget what God said to Remember.
According to the Bible Gods gave man Ten Commandments, and Gods gave them to His special holy people Israel. But God had a lot of other people who were not of the line of Abraham that also worshiped Him and more then likely lived by the same Ten Commandments Law.
Let's take a look at the one Commandment that 95% of the Religious Leaders have a problem with.
Exodus: 20: 8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Believe it or not, but this one Commandment says a lot about God and who He is, let's look at some of it.
1. First thing God wants us to respect His wishes so He tells us to remember to keep this day holy and worship Him. Just think if everyone did just that there would not be so many different religions in our world today because everyone would know who the Lord God was and they would all come together to worship Him on the same day.
2. God tells us that we all need one day to rest and what better day could there be then the day God said to keep holy and worship Him
3. This Commandment also said Who created this world and where man came from. Here again if everyone remembered and kept this day holy there would never had been an atheist or agnostic. Why because right here we are told that in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them. No need to drought how man got here and if we came from monkeys.
4. Most importance is the last part Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. The Sabbath was just a day like any other until God blessed it making it a holy day a day to rest and remembering who God was and what He did. A day to worship God the Father a day of being with family and friends a day of getting away from all the things that keep us busy and occupy our time.
5. God rested on the 7th day after He finished the creation of this world, should we not follow His example. Did you Know that when Jesus finished the plan of mankind salvation on the 6 day Good Friday, He too rested the 7th day Sabbath before rising on the 1st day of the week Sunday? All through the life of Jesus He kept the Commandments of His Father.
Now let's open Gods Holy Word the Bible and read some scriptures in the New Testament about the Character of God
Rev 11 19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant[h] was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
The Ten Commandment that were written on stone was kept in ark, there was an earthly temple made by man and there was a heavenly temple in heaven made by God. The Earthly temple was only a copy of the one seen in heaven by Moses
We know from history that Israel failed to keep God Commandments, they pushed them aside and in their place was man made commandments. We see this all through the life of Jesus the Pharisee accusing Jesus of braking Gods Sabbath Commandment, but Jesus was not braking His Father Commandments He was braking the man made one that the Religious Leaders switch in its place
Rev 12; 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."
17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Satan, the Devil, the Snake, the Serpent whatever you want to call him was cast out of heaven and what did he do, he went right to work on the Church putting pagan beliefs in place of truth. The Church of Roam that once was Gods church became indoctrinated with pagan beliefs and lies
Rev 16 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
False Prophets who were demons processed now at the leadership of the Church of Roam. Look at the book of Daniel he was giving a vision of what would happen in the future almost 600 years before Church
Daniel 7:25: He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time.
Right here Daniel is saying that this false Church power would persecute Gods true holy believers. The Roaming Church would kill them and speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High.
Now very important that you don't miss this, what else will the Church of Roam try to do (And shall intend to change times and law) now do you see where Sunday came in, Sunday was a pagan day of worship but the Church of Roam cast down the Law of God His Sabbath that is why God said to Remember it.
Look at another scripture in the book of Revelation
Rev 14; 6. Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—7. saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."
When you read this scripture it is almost word for word of Exodus 20: 8 – 10 (Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.)
The Sabbath with the Ten Commandments that God the Son (Jesus) gave to Moses 3,000 years ago is very much still to be obeyed
12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
How did this all happen; well look at what was happing to the Church while most of Jesus disciples were still alive evil men were coming into the Church as leaders and teaching false doctoring.
Jude 1: 4 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
Satan could not defeat the true Church by precaution so he joined the church and brought in his false teaching and pagan beliefs. And all who were true to the faith preach by Jesus disciples had to separate from the Church of Roam as the Bible said: Revelation 12:6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
Once again the Church of Roam with its daughters (other so called Christian denomination) will rise again and precaution will once again start in our day.
But we are not to despair we are to keep preaching the truth no matter what others say or how hard it gets. 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
Look at the Gospel of John, evil with in the Church will become so corrupt that they will persecute God true Christian and not only persecute but Kill them believing they are doing Gods will John 16:2: They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.
When Jesus returns His army of Angels will fight for all His True Saints who by faith have waited for Him and kept the faith once delivered to the holy disciples. Look at what is said in Rev 19: 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Believe it or not but in Rev 9 it tells us the true condition of how the world will be, why because they did not remember to do what God told them to do. They pushed aside the true teaching of the Bible and excepted in its place the false teaching of Satan: Revelation 9: 20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Once again look at Rev 10: 5 in the very heart of this scripture it is almost word for word from the 4th Commandments (who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it)
Rev 10: 5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer,
Rev 10: 7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
In the book of Genesis, the earth became so corrupt and Evil that God (Jesus) had to destroyed it with a flood, only 8 people survived. Now listen; Jesus told us that as the days of Noah were so shall it be as we near the time of the End or last days. Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:
Jeremiah 9: 13 And the LORD said, "Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it, 14 but they have walked according to the dictates of their own hearts
Look at what is happening all around you the signs are all being fulfilled we are in that time when Jesus will soon return. Not only are the people of the world corrupt but the Churches and Religious Leaders are also corrupt. It is not about the truth it is about making money. The bigger the congregation the more Tithe they will give and the more Religious Leaders will have in their pockets.
Rev 15 15 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete.
My friend Rev 15: 15 is about the seven last plagues, all who refused to obey God and Keep His Commandments, whose names are not written in the lamb book of life will have part in the last plagues. Pray and ask God to lead you by His Holy Spirit in to truth, open your mind and heart and study His word. Forget everything you were taught and let the Holy Spirit guide you through the Bible into truth. As you read don't refuse the truth, just study and read the way the Bible tells you to do: Isaiah: 28: 10: For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.
God is looking for a people who will do His will, keep His Law, obey His Commandments. He is looking for a people who will do as He asked them to do. His way not their way, that is why when He says to Remember something don't let any man tell you it is ok to forget it. Jesus said if you love me you will show it by keeping My Commandments.
Isaiah: 29: 13 Therefore the Lord said: "Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,
The Bible from Genesis to Revelation is all one book to understand Gods truth you need to study not only the New Testament but also the Old Testament.
I pray that you will open you heart and mind to God and learn obeisance. His will is the best enjoyment a Christian can have.
I am Elder Tim McNab for Restoring Gods Truth Ministries may the Holy Spirit be with you and lead you into all Truth is my prayer.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by Bucky0782, Sep 8, 2013.
if we can get Gooden healthy and have TWO stud OLBs, do we move ayers to DE full time?
How about Mike Keith it and just say "ZAAAAAAAAAACK!!"
... simple enough. No "Brown sack" or "Sack Brown"... just sounds nasty.
No one wants their name associated with testicles. I'm sure Zack would agree.
And "Big Brown Sack" in a football environment gives this impression:
I am going to wear a Brown bag over my head at a game with "big Brown sack" written on it, and with a bunch of tea bags hanging off it.
This guy is an unbelievable player.
"Brown Sack" is a good replacement for Dave Ball. That was some funny stuff!
Ball Sacks was actually funny. Because he was a Birdman type player.
Ayers was solid today. He wasn't used as much in the blitz game but he was solid against the run. He had some tackles but for some reason his stats aren't showing up.
What about Verner's pick? If he can make plays like that he's gonna be deadly in zone. Will be interesting to see how they use him against Houston.
Ya, I would say Verner locked up his starting spot today. There was talk about starting Campbell against Houston earlier in the week.
SackBrown was drafted high in the second round to do exactly what he was drafted to do. He better be Sack-Something!!!
Nice to see him play another great game.

It was a cold, dark, dreary spring day when Los Angeles-based boy band Midnight Red brightened up the ANDPOP studio with their big, beautiful smiles and infectiously positive attitudes.
We suppose it shouldn't be a surprise — their fun, edgy take on pop music has produced some catchy as hell songs. Just listen to their songs "Hell Yeah" and "Take Me Home" to see what we're talking about.
We couldn't keep Midnight Red's fun personalities to ourselves. That's why we invited ten of their biggest Canadian fans to help us interview Midnight Red's Colton Rudloff, Joey Diggs Jr., Thomas Augusto, Eric Secharia, and Anthony Ladao, and boy, did they not disappoint. Midnight Red were exactly what the doctor ordered to help cheer us up when all the weather could do was continue to disappoint us (it was a cold, long winter, okay?). With every question they answered, they made everyone howl with laughter. You should even see the amazing meet and greet photos! Their faces were priceless!
Make sure to hit that play button to see one of the funniest Tweet 2 Meets we've done to date!
Midnight Red will be performing at DigiFest New York City and DigiFest Toronto this summer.

Hi Ryan, Please see my questions below: 1. Sec 5.1, level of abstraction "allowing rich web applications to manipulate the keys and without requiring the web application be aware of the nature of the underlying key storage." Can applications be aware of that if they want to, e.g. query for keys from a particular key store? 2. Sec 12.3 event handler attributes, onerror, it can be helpful for applications to know what kind (high level) of error had happened, for example, invalid key. With the current spec, it is 'null'. 3. Sec. 18, keyStorage interface, it does not have addKey. Does this mean that newly created keys will be automatically added to the key store? Thanks, Karen From: Ryan Sleevi [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Friday, August 31, 2012 3:03 PM To: email@example.com Subject: New Editor's Draft Published Version 1.44 has been pushed out now, a substantial update from the previous 1.21 Changes include: - Update acknowledgements and mark the key format as a readonly attribute - Define NamedCurve as an enumeration type. Rename the NIST curves to the more commonly used "P-256", "P-384", and "P-521". - Add the ECPoint type for EC public keys. - Rename EcdsaKeyGenParams to EcKeyGenParams so that it can also be used for generating ECDH key pairs. - Fix an error in the length in bytes of an ECDSA signature. - Specify the ECDH algorithm (incomplete). - Add X9.63 as a normative reference and NIST SP 800-56A as an informative reference for ECDH. - Clarify that the output of RSA/ECDSA/DH key generation is a key pair, while the output of AES key generation, DH key derivation, and PBKDF2 key derivation are Key objects. - Add a type enum to the Key object, to disambiguate key pairs and asymmetric keys - Add further clarification/linkification to "Terminate the/this algorithm" - Fix typos in the BigInteger and RSA-PSS sections. - Add the NamedCurve typedef. - Add missing periods at the end of sentences. - Specify the ECDSA algorithm. - Add X9.62 as a normative reference for ECDSA. - Add Virginie's proposed modifications to the Scope section - Add terminology to clarify "Terminate the algorithm" - Add text from Mark from ACTION-38, including proposed clarifications - Add references to ISSUE-25, ISSUE-35, and ISSUE-36 - Move key tainting from the security considerations text to the editor's note, due to concerns about how it might be implemented inconsistently by user agents. - Rename "userAttributes" to "extra", to be clear that some attributes may be predefined, as part of the KeyAttributes interface (eg: pre-provisioned keys) - Clarify that window.crypto.keys does not require the user agent to block nor to guarantee that the underlying keying material is available. - Resolve ISSUE-13 by adding a use case for JOSE - Add more normative text regarding KeyAttributes and the possible values for the indexed and named attributes. - Moved BigInteger out of Algorithms definition - Move the Cloud Storage use case right below the Protected Document Exchange use case. Point out the similarity between them. - Add Data Integrity Protection as a use case for signature verification. The text is contributed by Vijay Bharadwaj. - Define the BigInteger typedef. - Add PKCS #3 as a normative reference. - Added text referencing ISSUE-37, related to the create* naming scheme - Move the CryptoOperation internal state documentation to immediately follow the WebIDL, and remove a reference to "readyState" in favour of linking to the internal state. - Rename key methods to follow the create* pattern - Add notes for ISSUE-28, regarding the (Algorithm or DOMString) typedef for shortnames - Add a note to ISSUE-26, noting the outstanding question regarding multi-origin key access. - Remove Arun from editors, per ddahl - In KeyAttributes, change "key/value pairs" to "name/value pairs". - Add an editorial note on the current browser support of getRandomValues and clarify the length of 'array' means the 'byteLength' of 'array'. - ACTION-37: Rename SHA-2-* to just SHA-*. Update reference to FIPS 180-4. If I've missed any feedback, apologies - there was a lot of spirited and helpful discussion following our last conference call. Please be sure to file ISSUEs or ACTIONs (since we're not currently using Bugzilla) if there has been anything omitted.Received on Tuesday, 4 September 2012 18:44:29 UTC

finaly, HP Softpaq switches
mastrboy posted a topic in Application Installsi finaly found some HP Softpaq switches on a forum
i really like to so one more thing in wihu, autoclose when install is finished, i tried writing a autoit script that does this for me, but failed and haven't got the time to start over again.
read topic next time, is for XP not 2003
i have written a Auto-IT script to fix this problem, it's not perfect but it does the job. ;written by mastrboy #include <GUIConstants.au3> ;includes MST files (have them in the same folder as the script when compiling) FileInstall("FULL.MST", @TempDir&"\FULL.MST") FileInstall("STANDARD.MST", @TempDir&"\STANDARD.MST") FileInstall("STDAC.MST", @TempDir&"\STDAC.MST") FileInstall("STDFP.MST", @TempDir&"\STDFP.MST") ;error if parameter is wrong Func error() MsgBox(0+48, "No such parameter", "Use /? to se options") Exit EndFunc If $CmdLine[0] = 0 Then Call ("error") EndIf Select Case $CmdLine[1] = "/?" $Form1 = GUICreate("Office Installation Help", 420, 157, 192, 125) GUICtrlCreateLabel("Following parameters are supported:", 8, 8, 141, 18) GUICtrlCreateLabel("STANDARD = (Word, Excel, Powerpoint og Outlook", 8, 32, 402, 17) GUICtrlCreateLabel("FULL = Full Installation", 8, 56, 163, 17) GUICtrlCreateLabel("STDAC = Standard + Access", 8, 80, 148, 17) GUICtrlCreateLabel("STDFP = Standard + Frontpage", 8, 104, 160, 17) $ok_button = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 24, 128, 89, 25) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $msg = GuiGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $ok_button Exit Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case Else ;continues EndSelect WEnd Case $CmdLine[0] = "1" If FileExists(@TempDir&"\"&$CmdLine[1]&".MST") Then ;starts the installation RunWait("c:\OFFICE_XP_SP3\INSTAPLS.EXE TRANSFORMS="""&@TempDir&"\"&$CmdLine[1]&".MST"" /qr");change out with our own location of office installation files ;Deletes all mst file in tmp dir FileDelete(@TempDir&"\*.mst") Exit Else call ("error") EndIf Case Else Call ("error") EndSelect Exit feel free to try it out or modify it to your needs...
i hope not, im still a very active user of it in my unatended RIS installation.
WIHU Creator
mastrboy replied to nant15's topic in WIHUsweet stuff
i had the same problem, this is the way i solved it: WIHU Install CFG: ___________________________________________________________ description.0=Microsoft Office selected.0=0 collapsed.0 =0 command.0=cmd.exe /C @echo off /user:DOMAIN\USER help.0=%wihu%/office.rtf Group.0=1 ; Sub command 0.0 description.0.0=Office XP Standard command.0.0=%systemdrive%\Install\CMD-Install\OfficeXP-STD.cmd selected.0.0 =0 ; Sub command 0.1 description.0.1=Office XP Full command.0.1=%systemdrive%\Install\CMD-Install\OfficeXP-FULL.cmd selected.0.1 =0 ; Sub command 0.2 description.0.2=Office XP Standard + Access command.0.2=%systemdrive%\Install\CMD-Install\OfficeXP-STD-AC.cmd selected.0.2 =0 ; Sub command 0.3 description.0.3=Office XP Standard + Frontpage command.0.3=%systemdrive%\Install\CMD-Install\OfficeXP-STD-AC.cmd selected.0.3 =0 ___________________________________________________ And in the commands file Wihu calls up contains: ------------- cmdow @ /HID @echo off call %PATH-TO-OFFICE%\INSTAPLS.EXE TRANSFORMS=standard.MST /qr exit ------------- only different MST files for each command file tough.. I think the error occours because wihu has a log variable and office might have the same variable so they crash, if you run office instapls.exe without any switches you get the error message that it can not write to log file. changing the LOG variable in WIHU might do the trick??
wihu after sysprep?
mastrboy posted a topic in WIHUhow can i run WIHU after sysprep???
OMG nooo!! please english.. This is like being in the liquer store but not be able to buy, because your not old enough
is there anywhere i can see all available switches for this program? i only need the software install thing (could not find it on your page, and there is 41 pages in this post )
love your prog, microsoft has much to learn from u don't know is this would be a big job, but you not are going to make more changes to the command variables, u could maybe create a little GUI prog that helps create the file?? it's a little heavy to understand for n00bs i understood the first one's used in 1.x just an idea, or if some other programmer on the forum could do it??

In the grand tradition of Savage Oppress and Elan Sleazebaggano, it's a new Star Wars character whose named describes who he is exactly. But hey, colorblind casting! David Oyelowo proves that race is no issue to excelling in the Empire – only mastery of a sinister English accent matters.
If he ends up straight-up murdering Freddie Prinze Jr.'s character at the end of the series, I think I'd be very satisfied with that. Then again, maybe Freddie will surprise me like Ahsoka.
