Chapter 13
Jesus teaches, Repent or perish—He gives the parable of the barren fig tree, heals a woman on the Sabbath, and likens the kingdom of God to a mustard seed—He discusses whether few or many are saved and laments over Jerusalem.
1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6 ¶ He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 ¶ And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 ¶ Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24 ¶ Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
31 ¶ The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

In addition to having something that is strong and going to last, you will get to decide on the specific type of wood you would like to have used based on its color and overall appearance. Choose from various custom wood options, including wood tables, chests, and even kitchen cabinets.
The kitchen island is a must-have for anyone who enjoys preparing and cooking meals for the family. It is going to offer a bit of extra space for food preparation, whether you are cutting some vegetables or seasoning meat before cooking it on the stove or in the oven. Choose from different finishes and have the perfect countertop installed on your kitchen island to complete the look while giving your kitchen that contemporary vibe.

There are many things you can put on the consoles, including photo frames, vases with beautiful flowers, and even a lamp or two. If you feel like a room in the home looks a bit empty and is missing something, a console may be exactly what you need. Select a wood style and color that matches with the theme and colors used in that specific room.
You can never go wrong when getting tables for your home. There are quite a few different types of tables you might need, including one for the dining room, one for the living room, and even one for the kitchen.
Make sure you and your loved ones have plenty of space to sit down together and enjoy a delicious meal by purchasing one of the many different dining room tables. These tables are available in different sizes and shapes, whether you prefer round, rectangular, square, or even oval-shaped dining room tables. Measure the amount of space you have available in your dining room and then figure out what will fit before making your decision.
After purchasing your sofa and placing it against the wall in the living room, you may have some open space leftover on each side of the sofa. The perfect way to fill up the space is to get an end table for each side. The end table is convenient because it gives you a great spot to put certain items, such as a cup with a coaster, a book, or even your reading glasses. Many end tables come with convenient storage that you can use for books, magazines, and other essential items.
If you need a table for your bedroom, consider getting one of the beautifully crafted night stands that are available. You can place a lamp on top of your night stand while putting important items inside of the small drawers, such as a flashlight, bible, book, retainers, or other items you use when you are in or around your bed.
Accent tables are small tables that often come in handy for decorative purposes. If you feel like there is something missing inside of a room and you want to conceal an open space that looks out of place, you could fill it with one of the beautiful accent tables, adding a vase or a small lamp on top of it.
The sofa tables are often placed directly behind the sofa, but some people place them against the wall in a room. Because they are often quite spacious, you will have enough room to decorate these types of tables as you please, whether you want to add picture frames, ceramic figurines, or other items on top of them.
Nothing may be more important to you than having the perfect coffee table in the center of the room.

Winchester Model 52 Bolt Action Rifle (1)
This stainless steel-barrelled rifle, nicknamed "Ol' Bacon Gitter," was the favored competition bolt action of former N.R.A. President Thurman Randle. SN 13713
Oliver Fisher Winchester was born on November 30, 1810 in Boston, Massachusetts. Although raised on a farm, Winchester eventually became a carpenter, and by 1830, he was a construction supervisor in Baltimore, Maryland. While in Baltimore, he entered the dry goods business, and after several years, Winchester became a manufacturer of men's shirts in New Haven, Connecticut. This venture proved to be sufficiently profitable that he began to extend his business interests.
In 1855, Winchester became a stockholder and director of the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company, a firearms manufacturing firm that brought together the talents of Winchester with those of Horace Smith, Daniel B. Wesson, and B. Tyler Henry. Volcanic produced lever-action repeating pistols and carbines based on the patents of Smith & Wesson. These two, who would later become famous for their revolvers, had followed up on the earlier repeating rifle designs of Walter Hunt and Lewis Jennings. Smith and Wesson sold their patents and other assets to the newly-organized Volcanic Company, and after a short time, both left Volcanic and began work on the first of many revolvers to bear their names.
The Volcanic's operating mechanism was very similar to that still used today in lever-action repeaters, but the guns were plagued by problems with their self-contained cartridges. These consisted of a hollow-based, powder-filled conical bullet backed by a fulminate primer plate. In addition to problems with velocity due to the limited amount of propellant available, these rounds also had the unfortunate tendency to go off prematurely, sometimes while still in the magazine. A further complication was the Volcanic's lack of an extractor or ejection system. These were not necessary when the ammunition functioned properly, but their lack created additional problems in case of misfires. Consequently, marketing and sales efforts were hampered.
In 1857, financial problems forced Volcanic into insolvency. The company's assets were purchased by Oliver Winchester, who by this time had become Volcanic's president. Winchester reorganized the firm and resumed operations under the name of New Haven Arms Company. Unlike others in the field of firearms manufacture during this period, Winchester's talents lay not as an inventor but as a successful businessman.
This success would continue with New Haven, and it extended beyond financial matters to the staffing of the new company. Among those hired by Oliver Winchester was B. Tyler Henry, who became plant manager. Henry had a great deal of experience with repeating firearms, having worked previously for various arms makers, including Smith & Wesson. One of his tasks was to develop a metallic cartridge to replace the inferior self-contained bullets chambered by the Volcanic. Others, including Daniel Wesson, were also working on this problem, and Wesson's .22 rimfire cartridge may have influenced Henry's efforts.
By 1860, Henry had developed a .44 rimfire, and he then turned his efforts to modifying the Volcanic to load, fire, and extract his new cartridge. His subsequent patent for these improvements was assigned to the New Haven Arms Co. The firm abandoned its pistol line and concentrated its efforts on the manufacture of lever-action rifles of Henry's design which also bore his name. The coming of the Civil War brought with it a great demand for firearms. Although the Henry, with its sixteen-shot tubular magazine and impressive rate of fire was a truly revolutionary rifle, conservative elements within the U.S. Army favored the tried-and-true single-shot muzzle loading rifle-muskets as a standard infantry arm. The government did place orders for a total of over 1,700 Henry rifles, and many of these were issued to troopers of the 1st Maine and 1st District of Columbia Cavalry regiments. Many more found their way into the ranks through private purchase. These rifles provided Union troops with a formidable advantage over their enemies. At least one awed Confederate referred to the Henry as "that damned Yankee rifle that can be loaded on Sunday and fired all week!"
In 1867, the New Haven Arms Company was re-organized and became known as the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, with Oliver Winchester serving as president, treasurer, and board member. The new company also introduced a new firearm, the Winchester Model 1866. These .44 rimfire caliber brass-framed arms were available in musket, rifle, and carbine configurations. Winchester still hoped to crack the military market, but despite the Henry's success and its popularity during the Civil War, the Army remained wedded to the single-shot rifle. Nonetheless, Henry and Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" rifles found a ready market on the western frontier. The Indians referred to these arms as "many shots," and "spirit gun," which showed a measure of awe and respect for the products of the New Haven-based company. Many warriors were able to obtain these arms for themselves, and more than twenty of them were used against George A. Custer's 7th Cavalry and their single-shot Springfield carbines at the Little Bighorn in June, 1876.
Winchester repeaters also found favor with miners, homesteaders, ranchers, lawmen, and highwaymen. Winchester's success continued with the centerfire Model 1873 and 1876 lever-action repeaters, both of which were available in a range of calibers and optional features. The Model 1886 was a milestone for the company in two respects: it marked the first association between Winchester and designer John Browning, and it was also the first lever-action rifle capable of chambering big-game calibers, including the .50-110 Express cartridge. Other Browning-designed Winchesters include the Model 1885 single-shot rifle, Model 1887 lever-action shotgun, Model 1890 slide-action rifle, Model 1893, Model 1894, and Model 1895 lever-action rifles.
The Model 1894 alone accounted for over five million sales and is still in production. Winchester was able to enter the military market in later years, with sales both to foreign governments and to the U.S. Army. During both World Wars, Winchester-manufactured rifles and shotguns served U.S. and Allied troops in various parts of the globe. In addition to contract production of the U.S. Model 1917 bolt-action and the famous M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, Winchester also produced the Model 1897 and Model 12 slide-action shotguns, as well as the M1 Carbine. In the civilian market, the bolt-action Model 70 rifle is still popular with big game hunters, and Winchester lever-action rifles continue to meet with sales success.
Under his leadership Oliver Winchester saw his company rise from near-bankruptcy to become one of the most successful firearms manufacturing firms in the world. He was a gifted businessman who was able to foresee opportunities and to make the most of them, and a skilled judge of people and their abilities, as evidenced both by the success of his company and by his association with men such as Horace Smith, Daniel B. Wesson, B. Tyler Henry, and John Browning. Declining health forced him to take a less active role in the affairs of his firm, but the company's continued success was all but assured by his vision and leadership.
Oliver Winchester died in December, 1880 at the age of 70, but both his name and his company survive. The Winchester Repeating Arms Company was acquired by Olin Corporation, which created U.S. Repeating Arms as the manufacturer of Winchester rifles and shotguns. In addition, Winchester arms were produced by Miroku of Japan. In 1992, U.S. Repeating Arms was purchased by Giat of France.

Mitt Romney Taps Rep. Paul Ryan As Vice Presidential Running Mate
Presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has named Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin his running mate.
Shortly after informing supporters of the decision, the Romney-Ryan campaign called the duo "America's comeback team."
The 42-year-old Ryan first entered Congress at the age of 28.
Ryan, who has been in Congress for seven terms, serves as chairman of the House Budget Committee.
Ryan has deflected talk of being Romney's running mate in the past, telling the Wall Street Journal in April, "It's [Romney's] decision months from now, not mine. So why spend my time thinking about it? If this bridge ever comes that I should cross it, then I'll think about it then."
Ryan, who hails from Janesville, Wisconsin, graduated from Ohio's Miami University in 1992 and is also a senior member of the House's Ways and Means Committee.
The Romney-Ryan campaign moved swiftly after announcing the news of Ryan joining the ticket, creating a new website for voters.
Ryan has been married to his wife, Janna, since 2000. They have three children.

From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block. Disgraced former congressman - and current New York City mayoral candidate - Anthony Weiner is apologizing again, this time after the publication of still more lewd messages and photos that Weiner exchanged online with a woman who is not his wife.
Today's sexting scandal is, in some ways, a replay of the one that ended Weiner's congressional career two years ago. But this time, Weiner says he is not dropping his campaign for mayor of New York. Here he is at a press conference today in Manhattan.
ANTHONY WEINER: I'm responsible for this behavior that led us to be in this place but in many ways, things are not that much different than they were yesterday.
BLOCK: And NPR's Joel Rose joins me now from New York. Joel, what else did Anthony Weiner say today at this news conference?
JOEL ROSE, BYLINE: Well, to start with, Weiner basically acknowledged that the same behavior that forced him to resign from Congress continued for a while after he'd actually resigned. The woman who said she'd received these messages released them anonymously, through a website called The Dirty. They are purportedly screenshots of conversations from Weiner's own Facebook account and some others that are allegedly - in which he has allegedly using the pseudonym Carlos Danger.
Weiner acknowledged that some of this material released today is true, and some is not. It's not clear exactly which is which. But he did acknowledge that these exchanges continued after his resignation from Congress back in July of 2011, and in fact, that they may have continued all the way into the summer of 2012. The woman who received these messages claims that they continued until November of 2012.
BLOCK: Anthony Weiner is also saying that this behavior is behind him. He did say, when he announced that he was running for mayor of New York back in the spring, that there might be other women, other online exchanges and photos that had not yet been revealed. Does that limit the damage here?
ROSE: Well, there was always a sense that there were more allegations like this, that were possible and, indeed, that we'd probably see them before the election. But I guess what people - what I'm not sure people really expected was that this behavior, on Weiner's part, might have continued for as long as it allegedly did.
Part of Weiner's pitch to New Yorkers when he announced his run, was to essentially say, this is between me and my wife; she's forgiven me, so I want you to forgive me. And he repeated that formula today. It's been working pretty well for him but, you know, who knows if he can survive this latest revelation.
BLOCK: And Joel, we did see Anthony Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, appear at his side at that news conference. She talked about her husband's horrible mistake. Let's listen to a little bit more of what she had to say.
HUMA ABEDIN: We discussed all of this before Anthony decided he would run for mayor. So really, what I want to say is, I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him. And as we have said from the beginning, we are moving forward.
ROSE: Those are not exactly the words of a couple who are preparing to get out of this race. And in fact, Anthony Weiner has been leading in some polls, or a close second in others. Huma Abedin is not new to politics. She's a veteran. She's been an aide to senator and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. So she's seen this kind of scandal before, and she's used to being a political operative in the background. But she's been forced to move into the foreground during this campaign, and she was very much out there front and center today.
BLOCK: That's NPR's Joel Rose in New York, where Democrat Anthony Weiner has announced he will stay in the race for mayor, despite new sexting revelations. Joel, thanks very much.
ROSE: You're welcome. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

As you learned back in Chapter 1, "Understanding Your Computer Hardware," it's the software and operating system that make your hardware work. The operating system for most personal computers is Microsoft Windows, and you need to know how to use Windows to use your PC system. This is because Windows pretty much runs your computer for you; if you don't know your way around Windows, you won't be able to do much of anything on your new PC.
What Windows Is—and What It Does
Windows is a piece of software called an operating system. An operating system does what its name implies—it operates your computer system, working in the background every time you turn on your PC.
Equally important, Windows is what you see when you first turn on your computer, after everything turns on and boots up. The "desktop" that fills your screen is part of Windows, as is the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and the big menu that pops up when you click the Start button.

As NPR's Louisa Lim reported Monday on Morning Edition, a week of inflamed rhetoric from North Korea — including talk of a preemptive nuclear strike on the U.S. — is being followed by word that the North has carried through on its threat to annul the 1953 armistice that ended open warfare on the peninsula and has stopped answering calls on the telephone hotline to the South.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and South Korean militaries have begun their annual joint military drills — exercises that the North views as provocative. Tensions, always high on the Korean peninsula, have been ratcheted up even further.
Here's more from Louisa's report:
South Korean news is headlining Operation Key Resolve: war games involving 13,000 U.S. and South Korean soldiers. Every year, it's a time of tension. But this year, the North seems to be acting on its threats. A hotline between the South and North rang unanswered today. And Pyongyang's state mouthpiece is warning the ceasefire that ended the Korean war is now invalid.
A South Korean official reportedly told parliament that unilateral cancellation isn't legally binding. Pyongyang has made that threat half-a-dozen times before. But this time the context is different.
As Brian Myers, an expert on North Korean propaganda at Dongseo University in South Korea, says, "the rhetoric is always bellicose. What we're hearing is a change of degree and not kind." He believes the North's new young leader, Kim Jong Un, is more military-focused than his father, Kim Jong Il.
"The problem, of course, is [that] the more Pyongyang threatens the United States and South Korea, the more it puts itself under pressure to do something," Myers says. "So I think it's very likely that North Korea will engage in some significant disruption of peace this year, as it does every year.
What does North Korea want? It wants a formal peace treaty with the U.S.. — and more. The most recent insight, of course, came from a surprising source, former, NBA star Dennis Rodman. Last month he paid a surprise visit to the North and spent time with the young leader.
Speaking to ABC News' George Stephanopoulous, Rodman relayed a message from the North Korean leader.
"He wants Obama to do one thing – call him," Rodman said.
But Kim's bellicosity is putting limits on how the U.S. and other nations can respond to the North. South Korea just inaugurated a new conservative president, Park Geun-hye. Her cabinet meets for the very first time today. She campaigned on a platform of leaving the door open to dialogue with the North, but that position is no longer tenable. Hahm Chai-bong, the president of the Asan Institute in Seoul, says North Korea has made that very clear: "It has very quickly and very assuredly slapped President Park Geun-hye's outreached hand."
Elsewhere, North Korea's traditional ally, China, is also undergoing a leadership transition. As its new leaders gather in the Great Hall of the People, Beijing seems to be recalibrating its position. The Chinese supported tougher U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang after its most recent nuclear test. Ian Bremmer, the president of the Eurasia Group has been in Beijing; he says Chinese officials are increasingly frustrated:
"The Chinese government has not developed working relations with Kim Jong Un. We've seen some reports from party officials in the international media that maybe China should cut off North Korea — I don't believe that's intended for Chinese consumption. I think it's because formal North Korean channels aren't working and they're trying to get North Korea's attention. They're very unsettled."
Meanwhile, on North Korean television, the bombast continues... with footage of Kim Jong Un visiting the frontline army unit that shelled the South three years ago, killing four people. Now many observers are bracing themselves for the next North Korean provocation. The big question is just how serious will it be this time.

A great cup of espresso always begins with a quality coffee grinder designed for espresso. Fresh coffee grounds are a definite must for a cup of espresso and the only way to do this is to make sure coffee grinders for espresso are made to produce quality grounds, because consistency, texture and size is all what makes a great cup. If you're not sure which type of espresso bean grinder you need then check out our coffee grinder guide.
Whether you are a coffee amateur or a grandiose coffee maker who has been grinding, mixing and pouring dozens of cups every day, the first step is to have a coffee grinder for espresso. The second step is to have fresh coffee beans. And the third step would be to have passion for coffee.
At 1st in Coffee, we have stocks of entry-level espresso coffee grinders to state-of-the-art precision espresso coffee grinders. With a wide range of burr grinders with either conical of flat burrs, coffee enthusiasts will be spoiled with choices.
To start with what 1st in Coffee has to offer, let's look at lower priced coffee grinders for espresso. Grinders that are moderately priced are a great start-up tool to coffee making. Despite retailing at only $299, this grinder does not compromise on quality. The Baratza Preciso coffee grinder is a great way to kick-start your passion in coffee making. If you are new to processing a cup of coffee, this is the ideal weapon to choose.

The Preciso is known for its enhanced anti-static design- this reduces the messy coffee dust that is usually seen in competitor products.
The Compak K3 Touch Advanced Coffee Grinder is just that- for advanced users. This is the perfect machine to invest in if you already have a better understanding of the coffee making process, experimented with beans, grinders and accessories. You are here to upgrade not only your machine, but your drinking experience. The K3 is designed to execute small batches of grinding to produce professional grade results. It has a doserless design, making in a perfect additional to a home barista's kitchen and it also has a stepless grind adjustment that makes sure every cup of espresso or coffee preparation is of high quality.
Another doserless option for espresso coffee grinders would be the Rancilio Rocky Doserless Grinder. This grinder can produce not only coffee grounds for a shot of espresso but it can also produce grounds for drip and press pot. With commercial quality design, this machine can last you for years.
If you are a restaurant or cafe that specializes in all things coffee, then waste no time in investing in the Compak F10 Conic. The F10 gives you unparalleled quality that can meet the tastes of the most discerning customers. The F10 is capable of grinding one shot or two shots of coffee operating on three different modes. With the F10, you get the exact amount of ground coffee for an explosive cup of espresso. The burr itself is capable of grinding up to 1200kgs of coffee.

Hebrews 9 1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. 2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. 3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron�s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercy seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. 6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: 8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. 18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, 20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. 21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: 25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; 26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Fashion-Incubator User Forum - Registration Agreement Terms
If you do not read this user agreement carefully -it is specific to our forum- there is an excellent chance your registration will not be processed or will be deleted.
The Fashion-Incubator forum is a private membership organization, providing mentoring, advice, camaraderie, resources and referrals to people who either want to start a clothing line, already have one or even, selected consumers who advise us. It is the largest, most robust and popular forum in the apparel industry.
All information shared in the forums is held in the strictest confidence. You may not disseminate any information or resources found here in a public or private place no matter the medium, there are NO conditions under which you are permitted to share the information with non-members. As a condition of membership, you agree to maintain these confidences. Those who fail to maintain confidences are subject to suspension or expulsion.
Membership Criteria:
Membership is open to those who have purchased a
copy of
The Entrepreneur's Guide to Sewn Product Manufacturing
which dramatically reduces the kinds of questions that new entrants post. This way the forums are not cluttered with the same questions posted over and over. If you feel you should not be held to this standard, you are free to appeal by
emailing me
. Service providers may not need the book but they will find the book to be very useful in working with new designers. Many service providers will not accept clients who have not read it because it saves them lots of money and time. This text is the most highly rated book in the garment industry.
How to join:
More information is
1. Buy a copy of the book.
2. Read this agreement completely.
3. Register.
After registration,
the system
will send you an automatic response. This does
mean you can now log in. Please read the response which includes further instructions to validate your membership. If you do not respond within two days, your account will be deleted so please re-register if you cannot respond in that time frame. If you have not purchased the book and decline to buy it, I
wish you well and continued success in your venture.
I realize some may be unhappy at the requirement but every trade organization charges a membership fee to keep itself going. Most charge hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Fashion-Incubator is the least expensive garment industry organization there is (the first year is free with proof of purchase, renewals are $45 annually). There are free forums too, so those may be an option if you are not ready to invest in a community. Unfortunately, you will
rarely find adept working professionals in public forums
. With limited time, they are looking for people on their same level or higher to help them solve problems -just like you are.
The forum is private but not anonymous; being private, it does not need to be anonymous. As of November 15, 2008, the protocol for user names is firstname space lastname. If you have created a username that does not conform to this policy, your account may be deleted. More information

Ostensibly, you are our customer and unfortunately, we sometimes need you to remind us of that. While we fervently hope you will contribute to our business threads with questions and comments, you are still a full-fledged member entitled to resolution of your own problems. Do not hesitate to post accordingly.

For Teens
Orthodontics for Teens
Braces, retainers, and everything else that you want to know about orthodontics!
You've just heard the three words that every teen dreads: "YOU NEED BRACES!"
Braces! What now?
Don't worry! Braces aren't nearly as scary as you may think. In fact, braces today come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making life with braces much easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past.
How long will I have to wear braces?
The amount of time it takes to treat your smile with braces depends on three key factors:
- Early treatment — Early treatment allows orthodontists to monitor the growth of the jaw and recommend further orthodontic treatment if it becomes necessary. Not everybody receives early orthodontic treatment, and in some cases it may be recommended that a patient wait until they are older to receive treatment.
- What needs correction — The amount of treatment needed to correct a problem will determine how long the process takes. Different patients react to treatments differently, so while it may take one patient only 12 months to complete their treatment, it may take another patient 24 months. Treatment times can vary depending on how quickly your body responds and how much work is needed to give you the show-stopping smile you expect.
- YOU! — Your willingness to use the appliances your orthodontist gives you plays a major role in the length of time it takes to complete your treatment. Always remember to take care of your braces and appliances; this truly will help make your treatment shorter!
Braces Your Way!
Our practice offers a variety of braces, types, and styles to choose from. Some common options include:
- Ceramic braces
- Invisible braces
- Lingual braces
- Traditional metal braces
Orthodontic braces are a big part of life for many people your age. While braces may have had a bad reputation in the past, today's braces make it easy to look good and feel good! Please contact our practice to schedule your next orthodontic checkup.

A house you purchased at one point in your life may not be the right house for you today. The good news is that you don't have to hold onto your house forever! Learn about the easiest way to sell your Riverside house in our latest post!
There are a number of reasons people decide to sell their homes. For some properties and situations listing with a Riverside real estate agent makes sense. For others, a direct sale offers the speed, price, and convenience a homeowner may need. Below are some signs that its time for you to sell your house in Riverside!
It's Too Big
Maybe you bought a house 30 years ago that was spacious for you and your growing family. Today, however, the kids have moved out and you are left living in a house that is way too big for your current needs. While you may have many memories in the house, it can become difficult to maintain. By selling your property, you'll be able to find the perfect home for your needs, while opening the doors of your old house to a new family, ready to make memories of their own.
It's Too Small
Maybe you bought a house a few years back, however, it doesn't have enough room for your growing family. While you may be comfortable today, your kids will only want to share a room for so long. You might also enjoy having a guest bedroom, 2 car garage, office, or exercise area… things you hadn't prioritized so highly in the past. You don't have to feel cramped or obligated to the house. By selling directly to Winn-Winn Homebuyers you can sell fast without any cost or effort.
Extensive Repairs
For many properties, the repairs can snowball over time. To get the property in the condition you'd like will take more time and money than you'd like to spend. You don't have to feel obligated to fix it up or feel stuck living in it forever. A direct sale to Winn-Winn Homebuyers will let you sell your house exactly as it stands today! Listing a house in poor condition can end up costing a fortune upfront.
You'll Make a Tremendous Profit
Did your neighbor just make a fortune selling their house? If this is the case, it might be time to test the waters by putting your house on the market too. Potential buyers will be looking at recent sales in the area and seeing the price of the recent sale down the street can easily boost the comps for your property. Even if you had planned on living in the house forever, for the right price, a move might be well worth it.
You're Ready For A New Neighborhood
Once upon a time, you loved living in a walkable neighborhood with many shops and restaurants nearby. However, now you are looking for something a bit quieter, without the noise, foot traffic, and parking issues. Sometimes what we want and need in a neighborhood can change over time. Or maybe your neighbors and neighborhood have changed, no longer giving you the vibe you once loved so much.
You're Looking For Better Schools
People will often buy a house without giving much thought to the school district. But as you start a family and your kids get older, you develop a greater interest in the education of your children or future children. School ratings are used by home buyers both with and without kids. Great schools will typically lead to a better neighborhood overall. If you need to sell in a specific amount of time to ensure your children start off the school year in their new home, a direct sale can be the best option!
You're Dreaming Of Something Else
Maybe you have always wanted to buy a house out in the country. Or a house along the river. Or maybe you want to relocate to the heart of the city. If there isn't anything holding you back, selling your house will allow you to make your move. Ask yourself, if not now, when? Sometimes we become so comfortable in our living situation that we forget there are other places and ways to live! Trying something new can be exciting and beneficial for you in many ways.
You've Lived There Long Enough
Maybe you have been ready to move out since day one but hesitated because of the loss you'd likely take. According to many experts, you will need to live in the house for at least 5 years before you can really turn a profit on the sale. Buying a house can be expensive when you consider the down payment, loan origination fees, and repairs. You need to account for what you have spent on the property when you are calculating how much you are really making when you decide to sell.

Our Chiropractic office near San Diego is available for Chiropractic Massage Therapy.
Whether you suffer from chronic pain or you need to get over an injury more quickly and completely, chiropractic massage therapy could be just what the chiropractor ordered. The skillful combination of chiropractic adjustment and therapeutic massage techniques can help you combat pain without drugs, increase your range of motion, and enjoy a higher overall standard of health. Take a look at how chiropractic massage therapy can help you through your particular challenges.
Massage for Healing and Pain Management
Massage has a long and distinguished history as a proven therapeutic modality. The manipulation of soft tissues can increase blood and lymph flow, relax tight muscles and tendons, and help an injured body part heal itself more readily while also ridding itself of inflammatory substances more efficiently.
Different forms of massage can address different health and wellness needs. Swedish massage, for instance, soothes and relaxes surface tissues, while deep tissue massage breaks up internal scar tissue and treats chronic problems closer to the bones. Trigger point massage relieves muscle knots that can cause pain throughout the body. Sports massage may use any of these techniques to work on specific muscles that must perform optimally or recover from overuse. Dr. Anderson may prescribe massage therapy to address problems such as:
- Acute sprains and strains
- Chronic musculoskeletal pain
- Sleep problems
- Carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive motion injuries
- Arthritis inflammation
- Circulatory disorders
- Mood disorders
- Prenatal discomfort
- Chronic headaches
- Neck or back pain
Massage therapy can also promote your ongoing wellness. Enhanced blood flow, organ function, and fluid drainage can help you enjoy a stronger immune system response, while relaxed muscles are less prone to injury.
What to Expect From Chiropractic Massage Therapy at Anderson Wellness Care
Chiropractic care and massage work together extraordinarily well. Massage relaxes the body so that your muscles won't resist chiropractic adjustments, yielding more satisfying results from your adjustment sessions. At the same time, the realignment of joint components removes a source of stress that might otherwise promote chronic musculoskeletal strain and pain.
Dr. Anderson may schedule massage therapy for you immediately before your chiropractic adjustments so you take best the full benefit of this combination. Ongoing sessions may prove most helpful if you suffer from a chronic pain condition. Multiple sessions usually offer the greatest benefits for injury treatment as well. Contact our team at 800-462-8749 to schedule massage therapy.

1Lord, Father and Master of my life,*
do not abandon me to their designs,
do not let me fall because of them!
2Who will apply the lash to my thoughts,
and to my mind the rod of discipline,
That my failings may not be spared
or the sins of my heart overlooked?
3Otherwise my failings may increase,
and my sins be multiplied;
And I fall before my adversaries,
and my enemy rejoice over me?
4Lord, Father and God of my life,
do not give me haughty eyes;
5remove evil desire from my heart.
6Let neither gluttony nor lust overcome me;
do not give me up to shameless desires.a
Proper Use of the Tongue*
7Listen, my children, to instruction concerning the mouth,
for whoever keeps it will not be ensnared.
8Through the lips the sinner is caught;
by them the reviler and the arrogant are tripped up.
9Do not accustom your mouth to oaths,
or habitually utter the Holy Name.b
10Just as a servant constantly under scrutiny
will not be without bruises,
So one who swears continually by the Holy Name
will never remain free from sin.
11Those who swear many oaths heap up offenses;
and the scourge will never be far from their houses.
If they swear in error, guilt is incurred;
if they neglect their obligation, the sin is doubly great.c
If they swear without reason they cannot be declared innocent,
for their households will be filled with calamities.
12There are words comparable to death;
may they never be heard in the inheritance of Jacob.
To the devout all such words are foreign;
they do not wallow in sin.
13Do not accustom your mouth to coarse talk,
for it involves sinful speech.
14Keep your father and mother in mind
when you sit among the mighty,d
Lest you forget yourself in their presence
and disgrace your upbringing.
Then you will wish you had never been born
and will curse the day of your birth.
15Those accustomed to using abusive language
will never acquire discipline as long as they live.
Sins of the Flesh*
16Two types of people multiply sins,
and a third* draws down wrath:
Burning passion is like a blazing fire,
not to be quenched till it burns itself out;
One unchaste with his kindred
never stops until fire breaks forth.
17To the unchaste all bread is sweet;
he is never through till he dies.e
18The man who dishonors his marriage bed
says to himself, "Who can see me?
Darkness surrounds me, walls hide me,
no one sees me. Who can stop me from sinning?"f
He is not mindful of the Most High,
19fearing only human eyes.
He does not realize that the eyes of the Lord,
ten thousand times brighter than the sun,
Observe every step taken
and peer into hidden corners.
20The one who knows all things before they exist
still knows them all after they are made.
21Such a man will be denounced in the streets of the city;g
and where he least suspects it, he will be apprehended.
22So it is with the woman unfaithful to her husband,
who offers him an heir by another man.
23First of all, she has disobeyed the law of the Most High;
second, she has wronged her husband;
Third, through her wanton adultery
she has brought forth children by another man.
24Such a woman will be dragged before the assembly,*
and her punishment will extend to her children.
25Her children will not take root;
her branches will not bring forth fruit.
26She will leave behind an accursed memory;
her disgrace will never be blotted out.
27Thus all who dwell on the earth shall know,
all who remain in the world shall understand,
That nothing is better than the fear of the Lord,
nothing sweeter than obeying the commandments of the Lord.h †
* [23:1–6] Lord, Father and Master of my life: these words express the tender personal relationship Ben Sira experiences with God, and introduce his prayer for divine assistance and providence in avoiding sins of pride and lust.
* [23:7–15] A warning against sins of the tongue through misuse of the sacred Name, against thoughtless swearing (vv. 7–11), blasphemy (v. 12), coarse talk (vv. 13–14), and abusive language (v. 15).
* [23:16–27] Ben Sira treats sexual sins and their consequences. Lust destroys its victims (vv. 16–17, 22–26). A false sense of security aggravates the adulterer's inevitable fate (vv. 18–21).
* [23:16] Two types…a third: a numerical proverb, as in 25:1–2, 7–11; 26:5–6, 28; 50:25–26; Prv 6:16–19; 30:15b–16, 18–19, 21–23, 29–31. Ben Sira condemns three kinds of sexual sin: incest (v. 16), fornication (v. 17), and adultery (vv. 18–26).
* [23:24–25] The judgment of the assembly determined the illegitimacy of children born of adultery or incest and excluded them from the "community of the Lord" (Dt 23:3). Cf. Wis 3:16–19; 4:3–6.
† [23:27] Other ancient texts read as v. 28:
It is a great glory to follow after God,
and for you to be received by him is length of days.
b. [23:9] Ex 20:7; Lv 19:12; 24:16; Dt 5:11; Mt 5:33–37; Jas 5:12.
d. [23:14] Sir 7:27; Ex 20:12; Dt 5:16.
f. [23:18–19] Jb 24:15; Prv 15:3, 11; 17:3; 24:12; Is 29:15; Ez 8:12.
