Original Message
Everything concerning May 21 2011 is compiled in this post.
Please read and come to your own comclusions whether or not if this is so.
I and many others know this is going to happen,no one can deny that this world is spining out of control right before our very eyes and yet most will not "see" the loosening of God's restraint on this world,no other time in history has the world been primed for judgment.
If you decide to take the time to read this information please
so that others will have the opportunity to read and decide for themselves whether or not you agree with this message:
I pray God will bless us "all" in these last few weeks.

Why May 21, 2011 An in depth look at The Day of Judgment
By: Gunther von Harringa, Sr.
Underneath the question of May 21st is a deeper nagging question in people's minds: "Is the Bible really the Word of God?" For the past 52 years, Family Radio has been insisting that it is - in its original languages, and unequivocally - without error of any kind. Regardless of which Biblical information one sets out to find, without resting firmly on this foundational principle (along with the Bible's own method of interpretation by "comparing spiritual things with spiritual," according to 1 Cor. 2:11-13, and much prayer) one cannot arrive at Truth.
What will happen on May 21st, 2011? God will open all the graves around the globe by means of a worldwide earthquake of unparalleled proportions. Those who had died previously as genuine Christians will receive their glorified spiritual bodies and meet the Lord in the air, closely followed by Believers who are still alive, whose bodies will be instantly transformed and they too, will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Whatever is left of those who have died, but were not saved, will be expelled from their graves and be strewn in horrific fashion across the face of the earth and 153 days of God's Judgment will commence with unmitigated fury until October 21, 2011, when God will incinerate the entire universe. Nothing will ever be remembered again about planet Earth, nor its inhabitants.
Some of the following Biblical information has been gleaned from Family Radio publications and is available free of charge from www.familyradio.com.
I. The Proofs for May 21, 2011
2 Pet. 3:8 states, But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
In Gen. 7:4-5 God specifically tells Noah, For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. {5} And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
The context of the worldwide Flood is apparent in verses 4-6 of 2 Pet. 3, as well as that of the final Judgment by fire in verses 7-12, thus God links these two judgments together in order to alert mankind as to His divine agenda:
According to the Bible the Flood occurred in 4990 BC. Effectively, God is warning that mankind has "7 days" or "7000 years" to enter into the safety of the Ark (which represents salvation). In other words, 4990 BC + 2011 – 1 (since there is no year zero) = 7000 years.
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Noah's lifespan is actually a calendar even as we date time by the Lord Jesus Christ today. There were other men referred to as "calendar reference patriarchs" covering about 9,500 years of history in Gen. 5 and 11. Although Noah's calendar used thirty-day months, a year has always been based on 365.2422 days. During the time of Moses God instituted another calendar based on the lunar cycle, or 29.53 days. Amazingly this lunar calendar reveals that May 21, 2011 is the 17th day of the second month! The last time that May 21st landed on 17th day of the second month occurred in 1994, and it is not scheduled to happen again until 2032 (if time were to continue).
PROOF #3: It has been stated that "History is the unfolding of God's salvation plan." As such, two events tower over all the others: Christ's first advent and His Second Coming. According to the Bible, The Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the capstone of Christianity as it demonstrates God's sacrificial love for His people, and His power to destroy death which is the punishment that all mankind deserves for their sins. ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, THE CRUCIFIXION OCCURRED ON APRIL 1, 33 AD AND BETWEEN THAT DATE AND MAY 21, 2011 THERE ARE 722,500 DAYS, INCLUSIVELY. WHEN THE NUMBER 722,500 IS BROKEN DOWN INTO ITS BASIC FACTORS WE DISCOVER YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF GOD "DOUBLING UP":
5 x 10 x 17 X 5 x 10 x 17 = 722,500
We must bear in mind that there are no numerals in the Bible, only words. God has also designed each and every word in the Bible very carefully in order to teach spiritual (or parabolic) truth. This is not new by any means, as the Reformers (some of which wrote books about the subject over 500 years ago) and even earlier believers right up to our present day have understood this:
Theologians of the Past Set Dates for the Return of Christ
It is very significant that well-known and astute Biblical scholars of the past recognized that the Scriptures do contain the date of the Rapture; and without a doubt, they were familiar with such passages like Mark 13:32, Mat 24:36, and so on.
As a result, they attempted to set dates themselves and in all instances were wrong because it was not God's timing to divulge that information until our day. There is also another very practical reason for this: There was no possible way to warn the world of this either until the advent of the electronic media in our day:
· Martin Luther in 1525 actually predicted AD 2000.
· Sir Isaac Newton – considered the father of modern physics and a theologian – used Daniel 9 in 1715 and estimated the End as AD 2060.
· Gillespie, Rutherford, John Cotton, leaders of the Westminster Assembly of 1648, also set dates.
· Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson, writing in New Horizons magazine (www.opc/nh.org) in 1993 or 1994, said modern Christians would be amazed at how many Puritans set dates.
The difference in our day is that God Himself has given us the dates for the End, and they are guaranteed by the Bible itself with undeniable proofs in order for genuine Christians to warn the world by utilizing all forms of mass communication possible. It is indeed a privilege to be aware of this information; yet it comes with a great responsibility to faithfully declare this announcement to the world in the little time remaining.
The basic factors in 722,500 days, underscore the following spiritual realities :
· The number 5 relates to either salvation or destruction.
· The number 10 refers to completeness.
· The number 17 symbolizes Heaven.
By God "doubling up" these two identical sets of basic factors, He is drawing our attention to the Biblical principle found in Genesis 41:32, when Pharoah's dream was doubled:
And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
An additional point can be made regarding the mathematical probability that arises from these two sets of identical factors of the number 722,500:
Dan Stevens writes: "In the following statement by the OP:
'Please note: I do not accept any "proofs" which involve finding the value of a time interval and factoring this value in "significant" numbers since I have concluded that this involves several fallacies. Fundamentally, this process excludes lots of data points and only accept factors such as 3,5,7,10,12,13,17,23,37, and 43 (and the multiples of these). This is "cherry picking" the data by which sooner or later lots of patterns are sure to happen by the laws of probability. Consequently, I reject the 722,500=(5x10x17)(5x10x17) argument as involving invalid reasoning.'
"The contention is made that the 722,500 day link between the day Christ was crucified (April 1, 33AD) and the 7000th year anniversary of the flood on May 21, 2011 is essentially meaningless, being a happy (or unhappy) coincidence that arises due to the laws of probability which (in the OP's mind) virtually guarantees many numbers will have the ability to be factored because of the 10 or so biblically significant factors being used. But as I read this post I notice one very important piece of information was missing, the analysis the OP used to support this position! Anyone can make a claim, but unless they back it up with something, their claim itself is meaningless!
Now it happens that I've heard others making similar unsubstantiated assertions, so awhile back I analyzed several numbers relating to the proofs Mr. Camping outlines in his books, and one of these included a look at the 722,500 days. In that analysis, I checked every number from 722,500 +/- 10,000, to see how many of those numbers could be factored by any of the above significant factors (3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 17, 23, 37, 43). What I found was of the 20,001 numbers in this range, only 80 numbers could be factored. What percentage is this? Well, 80 out of 20,001 n umbers is just 0.40%. Now any probability less than half a percent is considered very small (better than 4 sigma), meaning the probability that any number within +/-10,000 of 722,500 can be successfully factored is statistically rare. This does not support the position of the OP, who assumed without proof that the laws of probability would "sooner or later" produce 'lots of patterns'. Yet in this one simple analysis we find there are not 'lots of patterns', at least in regard to this number. By the way, if you add an additional criteria, that this number must be a perfect square of factors, then the probability reduces to just 0.015% (3 out of 20,001).
Of course we don't need to be math experts to realize that all the proofs offered in regard to May 21, 2011 are astoundingly significant, meaning the probability that this date just happens to pop up because there are lots of factors and lots of OT/NT dates that could be matched up comes from ignoring all the fingers pointing in that direction. By the way, it should be noted that the biblical calendar in a sense points fingers at 4 key dates, May 21, 1988, Sept 7, 1994, May 21, 2011, and Oct 21, 2011…"
The Importance Of Spiritually Significant Numbers
Let's now consider the number 17 (which relates to "Heaven") for example, and in so doing we will also see the importance of the number 7 (which relates to "perfection"). It surfaces in connection with the year 2011 in these significant Biblical events, as well as the number 1000 (along with its integers (10, 100, 10,000, etc.), which signifies "completeness."
· 4017 years from Jacob's (Israel's) birth in 2007 BC to 2011
· 3017 years from David's coronation (the 3000th anniversary of this event was celebrated in Israel in 1994) in 1007 BC. to 2011
· 2017 years from the birth of Christ in 7 BC. to 2011
· 23,017 days from Israel becoming a nation on May 14, 1948 to May 21, 2011. It includes the numbers 23 for Judgment; 1000 for completeness; and 17 for Heaven.
Before launching into these, I would like to briefly discuss God's
prerogative for hiding or disclosing truth.
II. It Is God's Prerogative To Both Hide As Well As To Disclose Time Information (Before It Happens) To Believers
A. Examples of God revealing information about what He
plans to do:
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Gen. 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Job 24:1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
1 Thes. 5:3-5 instructs, {3} For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. {4} But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. {5} Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Below are some examples of believers who were given prior information by God concerning future events. With this in mind, it is helpful to remember the following citations:
Mat. 24:25, Behold, I have told you before.
Isa 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
John 13:19 [(18-30) betrayal of Judas] Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
John 14:29 [(23-29) the sending of the Comforter on May 22, AD 33, Pentecost/Feast of Harvest or Weeks]: And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
· Noah [Gen. 6:3, 13; 7:4-5; 11-13]
· Joseph (Gen. 40:8; 41:16, 25, 32)
· Moses – the 10 plagues; rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram (Exo. 3:13-22; Num.16:1ff )
· Joshua and the battle of Jericho…13 revolutions around the city pointing to 13,000th anniversary of Creation in 1988 (Joshua 6:1ff; 1 Kin. 16:34)
· Gideon (Jud. 6:14; 7:7; 7:21-22, 25)
· Jonah (Jon. 3:1-10)
· The sons of the prophets (and Elisha) knew about the "rapture of Elijah." (2 Kings 2:3, 5) before it happened,
· The Crucifixion of Christ (Luke 18:31-34; John 2:13-22)
One of the main reasons that God has revealed the precise date of the Rapture/Judgment Day on May 21, 2011 is so that Believers, in turn, can confidently warn their families, friends, neighbors, and the world-at-large, as God so emphatically commands in Eze. 33:1-9,
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. 7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
During Old Testament warfare it was an absolute necessary for the "watchmen" to "sound the alarm" when the enemy was seen approaching; this was done by means of a "trumpet" or ram's horn. In order to warn effectively, it was imperative that a "clear sound" be made, according to 1 Cor. 14:8, For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
B. Examples of God hiding truth:
Dan. 12:4 reads, But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Dan. 12:9 adds, And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Luke 18:31-34 states,"Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. {32} For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: {33} And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. {34} And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken."
Acts 1:6-8 recounts, When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7 And he said unto them, It is not for [of] you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Verse 8 emphasizes one of the reasons that God had carefully hidden the timing for the Rapture and the Day of Judgment – in order for the New Testaments churches to focus on their task of evangelizing the world.
Incidentally, the only other reference where both Greek words, " the times" and "the seasons" are used together is in 1 Thes. 5:1-2,
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
C. God opens the "book" (the Bible) that was sealed:
The above-mentioned citations in Dan. 12: 4 and 9 are exceedingly relevant because God Himself - not Daniel the man – "shut up the words" or "closed the words", and "sealed the book." Daniel is a compound Hebrew word: Dan- which means judge; and –el is God. (Gen 49:16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.) In other words, "God the Judge" hid this end-time information until our day. In like manner, it was God alone that "opened" or "unsealed" the book (biblion - which is the Bible – see same word used in Heb. 10:7; Rev. 22:7, 9-10) as Rev. 5:1-5 so clearly explains:
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. {2} And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? {3} And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. {4} And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. {5} And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
III. Signs Of The Times
Mat 16:1-3 is a very compelling pronouncement: The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. {2} He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. {3} And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
There are 50 + signs in Mat 24 that have been already fulfilled. In the interest of time we can only consider five of these. In 2 Thes. 2:3-4 we read about three of these important "signs" or events that must take place before May 21, 2011: Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (apostasia) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
A. "A falling away (apostasia) first": This refers to the chief characteristic of the "Great Tribulation" of our day —namely apostasy, as the following three references in Mat. 24 delineate:
Mat. 24:4-5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mat. 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Mat. 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
B. "…That man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition." - Satan, according to:
(This is the fulfillment of ) Isa 14:13-14, For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it [he] should come; and even now already is it [he] in the world.
C. "…so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
God granted Satan his wish to rule in all the churches. (God finished utilizing the churches and denominations, after 1955 years – as He did with national Israel, after 1480 years – whom He was married to). These two events are perhaps the saddest in the Bible. The very two organisms that God instituted and utilized as His representatives of the visible "kingdom of God on earth", are under His wrath, and salvation is no longer available there.
Mat. 24:15-18 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place [the temple or church], (whoso readeth, let him understand:) {16} Then let them which be in Judaea [the churches and denominations] flee into the mountains: {17} Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: {18} Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Rev. 18:1-4 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. {2} And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great [the churches and denominations] is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.{3} For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.{4} And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Lam 4:12 The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy [Satan] should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem. [symbolizing the churches and denominations worldwide and without exception]
Let us briefly consider the last two of the five "signs of the times" for the purposes of this presentation:
D . We are in the Great Tribulation
We have already touched upon some of the main elements of the current "great tribulation" that we are now in. This is a time of unprecedented spiritual deception and division. What makes this especially frightening is that God Himself is furthering this spiritual blindness, according to 2 Thes. 2:11-12 (and other passages),
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Sadly, there is a great spiritual division that is taking place world-wide, even as the Lord Jesus warned that it would in Mat. 10:34-36,
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. {35} For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.{36} And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
The "sword" is of course "…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God."
This spiritual division is separating the true believers from those who think they are God's elect; the ones who will be impacted the most are those who belong to a church or denomination, and who are fully expecting to be "caught up" with Christ. Sadly, their churches leaders are assuring them of a false sense of security (or salvation) namely - "peace and safety" (1 Thes. 5:1-5)– which has no basis in reality, since they are the "tares" spoken of in the parable of the "wheat and the tares" as Mat. 13:34-43 teaches. Please note the opening verses (34-35) which delineate the way in which God wrote the Bible
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: {35} That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. {36} Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. {37} He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; {38} The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
{39} The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. {40} As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. {41} The Son of man shall send forth his angels [messengers], and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; {42} And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.{43} Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
The Bible highlights three "great tribulation" periods. (in Gk. – mega thlipsis). They include:
· The 7 years of famine when Joseph was Prime Minister in Egypt and Jacob and his family had to leave Canaan (symbolizing the Promised Land or Heaven) in 1877 BC and go into Egypt – a portrait of slavery to sin.
· The 70 years of exile when Judah went into captivity to Babylon from 609 BC to 539 BC.
· The 23-year period of our day (from May 21, 1988 to May 21, 2011)
All three of these "great tribulations" are tied to the number 84:
· 84 months in 7 years.
· 840 months in 70 years.
· 8400 days in 23 years. (May 20th 2011 is the 8400th day)
Each of these "tribulations" are divided into two distinct divisions of time. In our day, the first period of the Great Tribulation began on May 21, 1988 (coinciding with the end of the church age) and for the next 2300 days, (until Sept. 7th, 1994) virtually nobody was saved, as we read in Dan. 8:13-14
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
E. The "Great Multitude"
The second period began on September 7th, 1994 (a Jubilee year) when God the Holy Spirit began to pour out His Spirit again (as He did on the day of Pentecost on May 22, 33 AD) to save a "great multitude" of people from around the world over the course of the next 6100 days, as Rev. 7:9 indicates:
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Rev. 7:9 as well as other passages describe the salvation that God is orchestrating as millions become saved during these 6100 days, or these last 17 years (since 1994). This is actually a stupendous spiritual representation of the 120,000 plus inhabitants of Nineveh - many of whom God saved - by sending Jonah to them with a 40-day warning of impending Judgment. However, on May 21, 2011, the door to salvation will be forever shut, even as God shut Noah and his family into the Ark (Gen. 7:16), or as the 5 "foolish virgins" were denied access to Heaven in Mat. 25.
IV. Significant Biblical Events Were Fulfilled Precisely On Feast Days
When one considers the reality of sound waves or airwaves we see God's magnificent hand at work in establishing and sustaining the laws by which He governs this world in infinitely precise fashion. Wonderfully, we see this same accuracy recorded in the Bible as God indicates that Israel was in Egypt 430 years to the very day! (see Exo. 12:40-41: 1877 BC to 1447 BC) This is also in view with Israel wandering in the desert for 40 (a number that denotes "testing") years to the very day!
A very helpful verse in understanding how the ceremonial feast days are connected to future Biblical events is Col. 2:16-17,
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
A. Much Biblical evidence points to Christ being born on October 2nd, 7 BC, which fell on the Day of Atonement (Lev. 25:9 - the 10th day of the 7th month), while the year 7 BC was a Jubilee year (which occurred every 50 years, and symbolized that (the Gospel) liberty was to be proclaimed to the whole world.
B. John the Baptist announced the Lord Jesus as "the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:29) on September 26th, 29 AD. This was the official start of His ministry on the 1st day of the 7th month, known as the Feast of the Jubilee, which lasted 1335 days (until May 22nd, 33AD, when the Holy Spirit was poured on Pentecost, and the church age officially began) according to Dan. 12:12,
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
C. Christ was crucified on Passover, April 1st, 33 AD– the 14th day of the
first month .
D. Approximately 50 days after Passover, the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Feast of Harvest (or Feast of Weeks) or Pentecost on Sunday, May 22nd, 33 AD (and the church age had its inception).
E. The church age lasted 1955 years (to the very day from May 22, 33 AD to May 21, 1988); 1988 was also the 13,000th anniversary since Creation, in 11,013 BC. (The number 13 has to do with the "end of the world"… see the 13 revolutions around the city of Jericho in Jos. 6:1-5)
F. The first part of the "Great Tribulation" of our day began on May 21, 1988 and lasted 2300 days. However on September 7th 1994 (the first day of the 7th month, or Feast of Jubilee), God poured out His Spirit again (as on the Day of Pentecost) for the next 17 (symbolizing Heaven) years (or 6100 days) in order to bring in the "great multitude" by May 20th, 2011 (the 8400th day of this 23-year period).
G. There is yet one (dual) feast day which is still to be fulfilled on October 21st of this year—the day when God will destroy this entire universe and create "new heavens and a new earth." This (dual) feast day corresponds to the 15th day to the 22nd day of the seventh month. This is called The Feast of Tabernacles (or Booths – which is really the Feast of the Bible) and the Feast of Ingathering. Spiritually, these feasts serve to exalt the Bible as God brings in the "final harvest" (or ingathering) into His Kingdom by May 21, 2011.
V. Three Other Outstanding "Calendars"
A. The Calendars of Gen. 5 and 11
These calendars as mentioned above cover about 9500 years of Biblical
history and indicate that the life spans of certain individual men known as "calendar reference patriarchs" served to "keep track of time", in the same way that we use the Lord Jesus Christ to reference time in our day as either BC or AD. The discovery by Mr. Harold Camping (President and General Manager of Family Stations, Inc.) of the clue phrase "called by his name" (qara shem) over 40 years ago solved the problem of deciphering who an immediate son was as opposed to a more distant relative, denoted by the word "begat", unless there was sufficient evidence in the verse to prove otherwise (or in a few cases, where the phrase "qara shem" was not used.) The following quote is from an online article entitled "Biblical Chronology and Dating of the Early Bible" by Curt Sewell, Director of Outreach for the Associates For Biblical Research (ABR), and listed in "Who's Who in American Men of Science," and other honors: (bold emphasis mine)
"…Camping's method is highly unorthodox. What is significant, however, is that many of his dates correlate very closely with those of secular archeologists and historians. And even though it is a very unusual way of interpretation, this writer cannot find any obvious violation of Scriptural integrity, only long-established custom…but we must admit that it seems to fit history, and to solve what has always been a vexing problem…"
B. The Calendar Of The 430 Years In Egypt "To The Very Day"
We read in Exo 12:40-41, Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
In the Bible God does allow for the substitution of a "day" for "a year." Consider Num. 14:34, After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
Eze 4:4-6 utilizes this same principle as God instructs the prophet Ezekiel: "Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity. {5} For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. {6} And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year."
We also read in Dan. 12:9-11, And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. {10} Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. {11} And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
How are we then to understand these 1290 years? First of all, 430 X 3 = 1290! In the Bible, the number three frequently refers to "the purpose of God." Amazingly we discover that the number 1290 is connected to each of the three "great tribulation" periods that we have discussed earlier. They also depict the spiritual activity that is taking place in each of these crucial events. Let's keep in mind that for 430 years (to the very day) the Israelites were in Egypt (a picture of spiritual oppression), according to God's purpose for them. Please note how God uses this number 1290 in the next three illustrations:
1877 BC [Jacob's tribulation]– 587 BC [Judah's tribulation – Temple destroyed ] = 1290 years
587 BC [Judah's tribulation] – 1994 AD [Jubilee year] – 1 = 2580 years =
2 X 1290 years
1877 BC [Jacob's tribulation] – 1994 AD [Jubilee year] - 1 = 3780 years
= 3 X 1290 years
C. The Calendar of 1 Kings 6:1
1 Kings 6:1 teaches, And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt [1447-480 =967 BC], in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
As in the "430 year" example above, God employs a similar progression with regard to the number 480. 480 years transpired from the Exodus (in 1447 BC) to the building of the Temple in 967 BC. The spiritual picture of building the Temple is equivalent to building the eternal Kingdom of God (or all genuine believers in Heaven).
480 X 3 (the purpose of God) = 1440. What happened 1440 years after the Exodus (symbolizing deliverance from slavery in Egypt)? Christ the Deliverer (The Savior) was born in 7 BC?
1447 BC – 1440 [480 x 3] = 7 BC (the birth of Christ in Bethlehem – which means literally, "the house of Bread" in a Jubilee year – on the Day of Atonement)
480 X 3 = 1440 X 3 X 3 = 12960 —the precise years from Creation (11013 BC) to when Israel became a nation in 1948—in fulfillment of the (almost) 2000 years Fig Tree parable in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
Again using the date for the Exodus in 1447 BC (representing spiritual deliverance from slavery to sin) X 3 X 3 = 13,023 years = TOTAL NUMBER OF YEARS FOR MANKIND – CREATION TO RAPTURE/JUDGMENT – THE TEMPLE HAS BEEN COMPLETED – BELIEVERS "EXIT" THIS WORLD, AS GOD'S JUDGMENT FALLS.
Mat 24:32-34 asserts, Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer ["harvest"] is nigh: {33} So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. {34} Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

By 1941 the only overland access to China was from India over the
Himalayas on the hairpin mountain curves of the Burma Road. Japan controlled
this route, so supplies to the Chinese army had to be flown in by a dangerous
route known as "the Hump." It took years of bitter fighting
in hellish terrain before the Allies were able to reclaim the Burma Road.
Even after the efforts of The Flying Tigers,
all of Southeast Asia was under Japanese control by the time America officially
entered the war. Chiang Kai-shek's forces - busy fighting the Communists
- failed to stop the Japanese advance in Burma, and lost the one remaining
overland supply route to China, the Burma Road. The Allies had to take
to the skies over the Himalayan Mountains to supply Chiang's army.
The Americans were primarily in charge of the air campaign, under the
command of General Joseph Stilwell US,
British, and Chinese troops battled in the humid overgrown jungles, or
cold mountain plains at the top of the world. All the military forces
in Burma faced difficult logistics, colonial troubles in Burma and India,
impossible terrain and monsoon rains, as well as tigers, snakes and the
The CBI Theater became the "forgotten campaign" of the war's
history. The Allies finally re-opened the Burma Road in 1945, but it took
the explosion of two atomic bombs before Japan formally surrendered. The
war ended, but problems in China and Asia remained.

The Supreme Allied Commander of the Southeast Asia Command, General
Joseph Stilwell, was in charge of all US, Chinese, and British forces.
It was a thankless job. President Roosevelt supported a Burma theater,
but only with limited supplies. Stilwell's plan to train Chinese ground
troops was opposed by General Claire Chennault who wanted to use US airpower,
by Chiang Kai-shek who wanted direct command of the Chinese army in Burma,
and by the British who wanted men and supplies diverted to "Europe-first."
By 1943, Stilwell was able to start his "GALAHAD" offensive. His attempts to introduce reform into the Chinese Army offended Chiang, however, whom Stilwell privately called "the peanut." Chiang's revenge was to convince FDR to recall Stilwell to the US In 1945, General Stilwell was replaced, but not before Roosevelt presented him with his fourth star as a Major General.
In 1943, almost 3,000 American soldiers volunteered for a mission, code-named
"GALAHAD," to sneak behind enemy lines and cause havoc. Nicknamed
Merrill's Marauders after its leader, Brigadier General Frank Merrill,
the Marauders marched 1,000 miles over the Himalayan Mountains into Burma.
The hard-hitting foot soldiers disrupted Japanese supply and communication
lines and eventually captured the only all-weather airfield in Northern
Burma. At the end of their campaign, the Marauders suffered from tropical
diseases, exhaustion, and malnutrition - or as the tags on their battered
uniforms said, "A.O.E." (accumulation of everything).
The unit was consolidated with the 475th Infantry in 1944. During their campaigns the Marauders were described as "apparently forgotten, frequently lost, occasionally mutinous, and almost always magnificent!"

***Im not bashing boxing****
Dana White says it spot on, boxing promoters always take from the sport but never put back in. He claims there is littlle amateur set up now & tha boxing is dead.
MMA, however, has went from strength to strength at all levels.
IMO and experience,
*amateur boxing shows happen very rarely now.
*theres an MMA show on almost weekly
*there is little new blood entering boxing
*MMA probably has the fastest intake/growth (quantity) of participants of ANY contact sport/MA
*Boxing at Pro level is difficult to follow due to focus only on Main Events
*MMA orgs the world over promote strong undercards, hype ALL fighters
*Illegal exclusive contracts & promoter bidding make it difficult for boxing to showcase/promote stables/rosters of fighters
*MMA enjoying exclusive contracts can promote fighters better & for longer, ie a 3 fight deal
*boxing seems to have less fighters coming through to pro ranks
*MMA is taking fighters in from first time Martial Artists, BJJ, wrestling (college), kickboxing/ Mauy Thai & cross over fighters like NFL or entertainment wrestling
*Prize Fighter had promise, but the fighters appear from obscurity & dissapear after!
*The Contender was much the same. think a couple of guys fought on TV/good cards but again, there wasnt much PR for them afterwards
*TUF, as boring as TUF10 was, introduces the fighters over several weeks, hosts a show with the majority on it & continues to promote them on Main Cards afterwards (or drops them if they dont deliver)
*There are too many Boxing orgs, that have too many weight classes (so too many champions)
*While there are, & have been, numerous MMA orgs, the front runners are UFC, DREAM, Strikeforce. Id go as far a to say the UFC is the bench mark for World Championship standard. If you hit the top at the weight there, you are the best in that class.
*Boxing, while accepted by the majority in terms of mainstream & reported on by all major media is not the household name it used to be. Haye taking the HW crown recently was prob the biggest title exchange in a number of years. Joe Bloggs couldnt tell you the top champs anymore
*MMA is becoming more mainstreat & while your mom couldnt tell you who BJ Penn is & would prob look at you funny if you say anything about a rear naked at the dinner table, the surge in popularity & media coverage is helping the sport gain acceptance and overshadowing the days of "human cock fighting" or no holds barred.
Boxing is a great sport & has produced some of the worlds greatest athletes & most amazing stories to come from sport to the silver screen. MMA has big boots to fill to poduce what boxing has over the years.

Melinda McAllister has seen the look before. Young students pulled away from the shelter of the Wasatch Front mountains and tight neighborhoods suddenly feel a little vulnerable.
It usually happens soon after the kids arrive for a field trip at the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve.
"Some are just not ready for those big, flat and open spaces. You can see for a really long way, and that open space is almost intimidating," said McAllister, director for the Wings & Water Wetlands Education Program at The Nature Conservancy's Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve.
McAllister will likely be seeing that look more often in the future thanks to a new partnership between The Nature Conservancy and the Utah State University Botanical Center.
More than 8,500 Utah fourth-graders have been through the Wings & Water program at the preserve since it was started in 2005. With the USU Botanical Center in Kaysville on board, Nature Conservancy officials expect a 70 percent increase in participants in the next three years. The program will also expand to serve all elementary-age children and include more schools.
"The state standards for fourth grade are heavy in the environment, ecosystems, geology and natural history. The Nature Conservancy and Botanical Center both had wonderful programs and they have meshed together perfectly," said McAllister, who had worked at the Shorelands Preserve for the Nature Center for two years but is now managing the program as a staffer for the USU Botanical Center. "Having these two renown and well-respected organizations come together and pool their resources was kind of a no-brainer."
The preserve has been providing a hands-on, big-world experience for the students for seven years. Now, after visiting the wetlands for a taste of what the environment there is all about, the students head to the Botanical Center for a look at the ecosystem under a microscope.
"The preserve gives us the big picture, and once we get to the Discovery Point classroom we narrow it in. We talk about salt grass and then we see grains of salt on the grass under the microscope," McAllister said.
Making a connection to the wetlands at any level is what the Water & Wings program is all about, said Dave Livermore, Utah state director of The Nature Conservancy.
"The Great Salt Lake Wetlands are among the most significant in the world. Millions of birds use the lake every year, but that is not widely known," Livermore said. "A lot of people think of the lake as kind of a foreign object, and many have not visited it. The Wings & Water program helps young Utahns realize how important the lake and its wetlands are for the state, the country and the world."
One trip to the wetlands, Livermore says, often leads to a greater understanding and stronger commitment to conserving special places in Utah.
"We are also worried about our youth not getting outside like they once did. We are committed as an organization in connecting youth in the outdoors through a variety of ways," he said. "We hope young people get more involved and care more about the natural world as adults as a result."
The expansion of the program, while exciting, also poses challenges for McAllister. The focus through the years has been on helping fourth-grade teachers meet required curriculum. That is something she will continue to work on.
"Sixth grade is heavy in energy and knowing where energy comes from, how we use it and the different kinds," McAllister said. "The Utah House on the Botanical Center property is a great demonstration house on energy waste and sustainable living. It is another example of how the partnership allows us to serve a greater range of students."
Visiting the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve
The first Nature Conservancy preserve in Utah was formerly known as the Layton Wetlands Preserve. It is more than 4,400 acres of wetlands and home, or at least a temporary resting area, for more than 250 species of birds. The preserve is open to the public from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. April–September and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. October-March. If heading north on Interstate 15 take Layton exit #330 and head left on the Layton Parkway. Turn right on Main Street and then head left on Gentile Street. Take another left at 3200 West and drive to the end of the road, which turns into dirt.

LONG BEACH - Long Beach voters quietly made history earlier this month.
Come July 17, when 8th District City Councilman-elect Al Austin takes the oath of office, he will be the third African-American concurrently on the nine-member panel, after Dee Andrews and Steve Neal.
The number is the most in Long Beach's 115-year history.
"I think it's obvious that those barriers matter less now," said Austin, who will represent parts of Bixby Knolls and North Long Beach.
"It goes without saying that Long Beach is diverse," added Austin.
"We reached out to Cambodian voters, Filipinos, Latinos, everybody was basically involved. We pulled together an amazing coalition."
City leaders embrace Long Beach's diversity, frequently pointing out its status as the most multiethnic city in the United States, according to USA Today.
The 2010 U.S. Census found that 40.8 percent of the city's population identified as Hispanic or Latino, 33.1 percent as white,
14.5 percent African-American, 11.9 percent Asian and 1.2 percent Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander. American Indians and Alaska natives were 0.4 percent of the population, 0.2 were other and 2.9 percent claimed two or more races.
Doris Topsy-Elvord, the council's first female African-American member, has lived in Long Beach since 1942.
"It was never a city where race was an issue to me," said Topsy-Elvord, 80.
"The same friends I had at St. Anthony," she said, referring to her Catholic school, "I still have them."
Neal, the 9th District councilman, said Austin's election - combined with the little-noted issue of race - signifies how far racial relations have come.
"I think one of the other things it indicates is a change in demographics for the city itself," Neal said.
Census data agree.
In the 8th District, the largest ethnic group was Hispanics, at 43.8 percent. Whites were 17.7 percent of the population and 13.6 percent were Asian.
The proportion of African-Americans in the 8th District - 19.7 percent - narrowly edged out Neal's North Long Beach district, which had
18.6 percent, for the first time.
"There's no barriers now," said Andrews, the 6th District representative. "Everyone has the opportunity to move where your money will take you."
For Austin though, it comes down to red-meat city issues of public safety and infrastructure.
"I'm really just honored that the voters of the 8th District were open-minded and gave me a chance," he said.
"I'm going to work hard for them."

Fox Ignores Bipartisan Health, Environmental Concerns To Claim Keystone Decision Was "Political"
Fox News figures have been claiming that the Obama administration's decision to delay the Keystone XL pipeline project puts "politics ahead of jobs for the American people." But Fox failed to report on health and environmental concerns raised by the Keystone project; Fox also failed to report that it was unpopular with officials of both parties and residents of the Nebraskan communities where it would have been located.
Obama Admin. Announces Delay Of Keystone XL Pipeline Decision
NYT: "The Obama Administration ... Announced Thursday That It Would Review The Route Of The Disputed Keystone XL Oil Pipeline." From a November 10 New York Times article:
The State Department said in a statement [1] that it was ordering a review of alternate routes to avoid the environmentally sensitive Sand Hills region of Nebraska, which would have been put at risk by a rupture of the 1,700-mile pipeline carrying a heavy form of crude extracted from oil sands [2] formations in Alberta to refineries in Oklahoma and the Gulf Coast. [The New York Times, 11/10/11 [3]]
Fox Claims Keystone Decision Was "Political"
Gallagher: Keystone Decision Sacrifices Jobs "In The Name Of Political Expediency." On the November 11 edition of Fox News' America Live, Fox News contributor Mike Gallagher said that "20,000 jobs now may be sacrificed in the name of political expediency." Gallagher also mocked opponents' concerns about the pipeline, saying, "Aww, the water may get dirty." [Fox News, America Live, 11/11/11 [4], via Media Matters]
Carlson: Obama Put "Politics Ahead Of Jobs For The American People" By Delaying Keystone Pipeline Construction. On the November 11 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Gretchen Carlson began a segment about the Keystone decision by saying:
CARLSON: President Obama has decided to delay now a key decision on the future of a pipeline, that would create 20,000 jobs until after the elections next year. That's when he's making the decision. So is he putting campaign politics ahead of jobs for the American people?
Carlson's guest, Fox Business correspondent Nicole Petallides, agreed, saying, "This is something that has been looked at for years. The State Department ... basically got the OK. But this is politics ahead of U.S. jobs." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 11/11/11 [5], via Media Matters]
Rivera: Delaying Keystone Pipeline Is "A Kind Of Sleazy Political Move." Later during the November 11 broadcast, co-host Brian Kilmeade asked guest and Fox News host Geraldo Rivera if the Pipeline decision "reek[s] of politics." Rivera agreed and went on to say, "[T]his is a kind of sleazy political move, I think." From the broadcast:
KILMEADE: This Keystone pipeline, the fact that the candidates have been waiting for this to be done and unions want this pipeline, this oil pipeline, put through America, through Nebraska and environmentalists have stopped it, and the president has decided, I'm going to study it more for two years. Does this reek of politics for you?
RIVERA: It does, sadly. It's the president refusing to alienate the environmentalists who are in his constituency, presumably. And on the other hand, he doesn't want to cancel the project entirely because it is the antithesis of his push to get more jobs. You know, if he cancels this --
CLAYTON MORRIS (guest host): -- And union jobs.
RIVERA: -- you're going to eliminate tens thousands of jobs. But by kicking the can down the road, you avoid standing up and taking a position, and by putting it past the election, it just -- it really reeks of opportunism, or the reverse of that, the avoidance of conflict. And that's not what a leader does. I -- you know, generally I like him, as you know, but this is kind of -- a kind of a sleazy political move, I think. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 11/11/11]
Krauthammer: Decision Is "The Most Egregious [Example]" Of "Putting Party Before Politics" That "This Administration Has Made Yet." On the November 10 edition of Fox News' Special Report, Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer said of the decision, "On the merits, it's a terrible decision. It's not going to have any effect on the climate." Krauthammer later called the decision "an egregious example" of "putting party before politics," adding it was "the most egregious that I think this administration has made yet." Fox Nation promoted Krauthammer's comments under the headline, "Krauthammer: Obama Postponing Keystone Pipeline Most Egregious Example of Political Expediency." [Fox News, Special Report, 11/10/11 [6], via Fox Nation]
State Dept. Official: White House Made "No Effort To Influence Our Decision"
State Dept. Official Jones: "There Was No Effort To Influence Our Decision" From The White House. A November 10 Washington Post article about the Keystone pipeline decision quoted an assistant secretary at the State Department as saying that the Keystone delay was "not a political decision" and that "there was no effort to influence our decision" from the White House. From The Washington Post:
Officials at the State Department, which oversees the permitting process, had once promised a decision on the proposal by Alberta-based TransCanada by year's end. But they said Thursday that they had to extend their review of the 1,700-mile pipeline to address Nebraskans' objections to building across the state's sensitive Sandhills region. That area provides habitat for imperiled wildlife and covers the Ogallala Aquifer, a critical source of drinking and irrigation water for state residents.
Kerri-Ann Jones, assistant secretary in the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, told reporters that choosing a new route for the Nebraska portion of the pipeline will require a new environmental assessment, which will probably take at least 15 months.
Jones said she and other State Department officials had consulted with the White House in recent days as they began to explore the possibility of a supplemental environmental assessment.
"This is not a political decision," she said, adding that when it came to White House involvement, "there was no effort to influence our decision." [The Washington Post, 11/10/11 [7]]
Furthermore, Pipeline Route Raised Public Health Concerns ...
NYT: Nebraskans Opposed Pipeline Route Because It Would Have Crossed "A Critical Source Of Drinking Water." A November 10 New York Times article noted that "[p]ublic officials and citizens in Nebraska" opposed the proposed pipeline route in part because it would have "cross[ed] the Ogallala Aquifer, a critical source of drinking water for the Great Plains." From the article:
Public officials and citizens in Nebraska have been vocal about the proposed pipeline route, not only because of fears about the Sand Hills region but because it will cross the Ogallala Aquifer, a critical source of drinking water for the Great Plains. Gov. Dave Heineman of Nebraska, a Republican, has been pushing for the pipeline to be rerouted and recently called a special legislative session to focus on Keystone XL.
"I am pleased that Nebraskans have been heard," Mr. Heineman said in a telephone interview. "We've tried to make it very clear that we support the pipeline but oppose the route over the Ogallala Aquifer," Mr. Heineman said, adding he was not expecting the State Department's decision. "I hope we can find a common-sense solution, change the route and begin construction of the pipeline."
The pipeline's opponents in Nebraska hailed the decision as a pivotal victory, at least for now.
"This is a game changer for our state," said Jane Kleeb, director of Bold Nebraska, a citizens' advocacy group that has been leading efforts to block the pipeline. "We've been fighting this every day and night for almost two years." [The New York Times, 11/10/11 [3]]
... As Well As Environmental Concerns ...
NYT: Decision Calls For "A Review Of Alternate Routes To Avoid The Environmentally Sensitive Sand Hills Region Of Nebraska." From the New York Times:
The State Department said in a statement that it was ordering a review of alternate routes to avoid the environmentally sensitive Sand Hills region of Nebraska, which would have been put at risk by a rupture of the 1,700-mile pipeline carrying a heavy form of crude extracted from oil sands formations in Alberta to refineries in Oklahoma and the Gulf Coast.
The Sand Hills region has a high concentration of wetlands, a sensitive ecosystem and extensive areas of very shallow groundwater that could be endangered by an oil spill. The State Department, which is responsible for approving transboundary pipelines, said that it expected that the review could be completed early in 2013.
Kerri-Ann Jones in the State Department's Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs said the agency's decision to look for alternative routes was sparked by the significant outcry from Nebraska residents and officials.
"What we're hearing from the public and from comments across the nation is the concerns about it going through this fragile landscape," she said of the proposed pipeline. "We've heard this loud and clear." [The New York Times, 11/10/11 [3]]
... And Route Was Opposed By NE Residents, GOP Officials
GOP Gov. Heineman Called For "Rerouting" Of The Pipeline, Applauded Delay. A November 11 Omaha World-Herald article quoted Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman, a Republican, as responding to the announcement of the pipeline delay by saying, "This is an exceptional moment for Nebraska ... Concerns from Nebraskans have been heard." The article also noted that Heineman has previously "called for a rerouting of the pipeline." [Omaha World-Herald, 11/11/11 [8]]
GOP Sen. Mike Johanns "Welcomed News Of The Delay." The World-Herald article also stated: "Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., supports development of the tar-sands oil resources and the pipeline but has been an outspoken critic of the Sand Hills route. He welcomed news of the delay." [Omaha World-Herald, 11/11/11 [8]]
GOP Rep. Fortenberry "Praised The State Department's Move." The World-Herald article also said that Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) "had also pushed for a route change and praised the State Department's move." [Omaha World-Herald, 11/11/11 [8]]
Bold Nebraska Exec. Director Said "Bipartisan Nature Of Nebraskans' Opposition Helped Sway The Decision." From The Washington Post:
Jane Kleeb, executive director of the environmental group Bold Nebraska, said the bipartisan nature of Nebraskans' opposition helped sway the decision. "We stuck together, despite differences in what is on our voter-registration cards, and stayed focused on stopping the pipeline from destroying the Sandhills and risking the Ogallala Aquifer," she said. [The Washington Post, 11/10/11 [7]]
State Dept. Official Cites "Concern That Nebraskans Lacked A Regulatory Or Legal Framework To Help Influence The Pipeline's Route." From The Washington Post:
[Assistant secretary Kerri] Jones said she and other State Department officials had consulted with the White House in recent days as they began to explore the possibility of a supplemental environmental assessment.
But she emphasized that they were spurred by concern that Nebraskans lacked a regulatory or legal framework to help influence the pipeline's route. The Nebraska legislature is in a special session to consider its own options for directing the pipeline. [The Washington Post, 11/10/11 [7]]
Fox Previously Used Inflated Jobs Numbers To Hype Pipeline
Fox Wildly Inflated The Number Of Jobs Keystone Pipeline Might Create. Fox News figures claimed that the Keystone XL pipeline will create somewhere between 50,000 and a million jobs.
- In Fact, Even TransCanada Acknowledges Total Jobs Created Would Be Fewer, And Independent Report Projected Even Lower Numbers. Even TransCanada has acknowledged that the total jobs created would be far fewer than 50,000 to one million, and an independent report has found that the project could actually destroy more jobs than it creates through higher fuel costs and environmental damage.

My vet, Kathy Blanchard, asked me a couple of weeks ago if I would volunteer to be arrested and held at the Redlands Animal Shelter. I would have to raise my own bail money, all of which would go toward the shelter's spay and neuter expenses.
When you adopt a shelter pet that is not altered, the shelter arranges an appointment for the procedure and foots part of the bill.
No animal becomes a pet unaltered.
Unaltered animals are the source of the shelter's wards in the first place.
Currently the shelter has 55 dogs and 65 cats looking for homes. I see the population numbers every week. This is low for them. In spring the cat population is double this.
My bail was set at $100, but I wanted to be the hot shot that showed up with $500. I have a whole community as my audience, and I guessed I could find 50 people to give me 10 bucks.
I put out the word on Facebook first, "Anyone willing to help spring me?"
Right away Realtor Rhonda Stanton commented, "Put me down."
Sanbag spokesman Tim Watkins responded, "Not a good phrase to use at the shelter."
Carpet cleaner owner Craig O'Neil recommended I get a chip implanted while I'm there.
Monty Montano, former reference librarian at the A.K. Smiley, said, "Have you thought this through? They won't let you go until you're neutered."
And my campaign was afoot, for both money and comedy, apparently.
This is a sentimental project for me.
In 1997 the Mombergers four moved back to Redlands from about a decade in Boulder, Colo., because of the JonBenet Ramsey murder. I salved my panic by deciding the murder wouldn't have happened if the Ramseys had had a big dog. I set out to get me one.
That's how I ended up in the shelter my first time (the first of six times I would walk out of there with a new pet).
It's relevant to point out here that I don't like dogs.
I put in my order at the front desk. I wanted a dog that didn't beg, jump on people, sniff crotches, lick or stink.
They had the grace not to tell me I really wanted a cat.
The lady smiled and bade me follow. There was a puppy just in. I formed a vision.
She led me past a row of little concrete cells with bad dogs in them, barking at me and jumping up on the bars. At the end I could see a darling little fuzzy dog sitting politely, looking longingly.
I didn't want it.
This dog, in sitting position, was almost to my thighs. I had a vision of my new dog squirming in my hand.
I suddenly had a new criterion, so I thought I would pat its head and say `good pup' and go. The lady said, "I'll take him out so you can spend some time with him in the play yard."
I wanted to say, `You don't need to open the kennel.'
She fumbled with the keys at the play yard gate. I stood behind her waiting for this to be over so I could go find a hand puppy. The big puppy was sitting calmly next to me.
He scooted closer to my leg, as if he were sneaking. Then he leaned his body until his shoulder and head were against my knee. I was softening.
Then, without lifting his head, he looked up at me. The only things he moved were his eyebrows and my cold heart.
He's an Akita-Husky mix. We named him Lamont, and he's the best family dog there ever was. He doesn't jump, lick, beg, sniff crotches or smell like a dog. He's loyal and smart and never breaks the rules.
So I jumped at the opportunity to raise money for the shelter. Because I am grateful.
I was at about $200 at 12:10 p.m. Thursday when a Citizen Volunteer Patrol officer in uniform showed up to take me into custody.
I expected to be cuffed, and had reporter Kristina Hernandez ready with a video camera, but it was more of an escorting. Apparently they used cuffs the first year and that went badly.
We got in the police vehicle, turned on the siren lights and we were off.
At the shelter I was given my impound papers. They indicated I was taken from the Facts as a stray in the field, female, 21 years old. Flatterers.
They took my mug shot, I paid my bail and someone handed me a hot dog. I sat with another inmate, who told me the story of how she got her dog. Her teenage son was at a park when a man with a little boy in his car pulled up, shoved a dog out of his car and drove off.
Kim Salt at the shelter explained how the staff train and get to know the animals there, which helps them match them with owners. She indicated our adjoining cage, full of Chihuahuas, and told me the lot was headed to Canada.
Ron O'Neil, a park ranger and longtime friend of mine, came by to say hello.
"It's about time they locked you up," he said.
Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar was being booked as I was leaving. He had driven himself in.
The shelter's goal with this project was $2,000. There were five of us who participated.
The total haul was $3,568.
I'm still collecting bail money toward my goal of $500. If you want to donate in honor or in memory of someone, I will indicate that in my sponsor list.
My contributions were in honor of Lamont, the world's greatest dog.

Los Angeles (AFP) Sept 17, 2013
The confirmed death toll from massive floods in the US state of Colorado has risen to eight, while more than 600 people remain unaccounted for, officials said early Tuesday.
Helicopters resumed search and rescue missions, helped by clearer weather after days of torrential rain that has left over 1,500 homes destroyed and more than 17,000 damaged.
Five teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are bolstering hundreds of state and local officers trying to reach hundreds of residents stranded by the floods, centered on Boulder County north of Denver.
"We have a strong opportunity here, with FEMA's help, to come out of this whole situation with a stronger infrastructure," Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper told a press briefing.
On Sunday, heavy rain prevented helicopters from taking off for most of the day as officials put the number of people unaccounted for at more than 1,200 across the western state.
But on Monday there was even blue sky in some areas, allowing some 21 helicopters to take to the air.
"We are hoping to take advantage of the weather today and get those rescue operations complete," spokeswoman Micki Trost of the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management was quoted as saying by the Denver Post.
In all eight people have died, including three in Boulder County, two in El Paso County, two missing presumed dead in Larimer County, and one from an as yet undetermined locality, said the Colorado Office of Emergency management (COEM) in its latest update.
The number of people unaccounted for stood at 658 Monday it said, stressing however that that number was "approximate and changing," as rescue crews gained access to more places, and as stranded people got in touch with authorities to confirm they were alright.
In all 11,700 people have been evacuated, the COEM said. A total of 17,994 residential structures have been damaged, and 1,502 destroyed.
Many of the missing may simply be unable to report their whereabouts, but Hickenlooper warned that the death toll may increase. "There are many, many homes that have been destroyed," he said.
Rain began pelting the western state early last week, with Boulder especially hard hit, seeing 7.2 inches (18.3 centimeters) of precipitation in about 15 hours starting Wednesday night.
Flash floods have afflicted 15 counties down a 200-mile (320-kilometer) north-south section of the Front Range, where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains, the Colorado Office of Emergency Management said.
"We've got a heck of a lot of communities dealing with a heck of a lot of water," Jennifer Finch, a spokeswoman for Weld County northeast of Boulder, told Denver Channel 7 News on Sunday.
On Sunday, traffic on Interstate 25, Colorado's main north-south thoroughfare just east of the mountain range, was brought to a halt by water covering two of the three southbound lanes, according to an AFP correspondent on the road.
President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in Colorado and ordered federal aid to support state and local efforts. Hickenlooper called the widespread flooding "a heck of a storm."
Although skies were clearer Monday, weather forecasters warned that scattered storms could still dump up to an inch of rain in less than 30 minutes, according to KUSA-TV.
Drier, warmer weather conditions are due to return to the battered state on Tuesday, lasting through to Thursday when there is a chance of showers through the region, it said.

Effort to Place Gay and Lesbian NDO on San Antonio Ballot Fails
An effort to gather enough petition signatures to place the San Antonio Gay and Lesbian Non Discrimination Ordinance on the ballot for a public vote has failed, 1200 WOAI's Michael Board reports.
Pastor Gerald Ripley of the Abundant Life Church, who was leading the effort to place the item on the ballot says they failed to obtain the 61,000 signatures needed by today's deadline.
"I left word for the elections adminsitrator that we will not be turning in the petitions, we did not reach the number of signatures that are required," Ripley said.
He says the effort to fight the ordinance will continue.
"We are greatly encouraged by what we were able to accomplish in the 26 days we had petitions in hand," Ripley said. "We were gaining new churches, even new denominations right up until the last minute. I think we would have done it had we lived in Dallas and Houston."
Ripley says the effort to fight the ordinance will continue.
"We will now look at what our options are," he said. "Those decisions have not been made."
This is separate from the effort to recall Councilman Diego Bernal, who was the sponsor of the bill.
The measure adds sexual orientation and 'gender preference' to the types of individuals who are specifically protected from discrimination by the city, by local contractors, and by so called 'public accommodations' like restaurants and hotels.

Apollo Group, Inc. announced that former United States Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings will join the company's board of directors.
"As a leading national expert on education, public policy and the impact both have on the U.S. economy, Margaret is uniquely qualified to help advance Apollo Group's mission and purpose," said John Sperling, founder and executive chairman of Apollo Group.

Palazzo from corleone
My ggfather and his siblings were all sent to american, alone at young ages. I've been told that this was b/c the mafia had such a strong influence in Sicily. They all came in the late 1800's early 1900's. I'm wondering why would their parents send them away? I also heard that their parents were killed by the mafia. ONe ohter thing, when my ggfather arived in New York in 1900 (his name was Domenico Palazzo) the ship record says that they were staying with a NIck Giacoma. Could this be a mafia person?

Re: Palazzo from corleone
You might want to look over the passenger lists and check to see if others from the same town are listed next to your relatives. I'm not sure what ages the children were but if they were young they probably were looked after by someone listed near them on the passenger list. In my research by doing this i have found relatives that I would not have known about because of the difference of surname. The relation Nick Giacoma was to your family should be listed near his name when they ask who they are going to stay with. I hope that this info helps
Re: Palazzo from corleone
Mr Veneziano this poster is seeking information on the Mafia and reasdons why children are sent to the USA from Sicily, Italy and your response has nothing to do with what he wants which, incidentally has nothing to do with genealogy but rather sociology. So please read what the poster is inquiring about closely and you will see what I am talking about and why your resp;onse is inappropriate to the question. Peter
Re: Palazzo from corleone
actually I was looking for both answers. no need to make it a big issue. Wehn I say young, I mean age 17 and 14. the person that they stayed with doesn't say anthigh about a relationshiop with this man. so, I was just wondering. thanks to you both
Re: Palazzo from corleone
Well re read your posting since it says one thing and yhou meant another which makes mind reading difficult. Peter
