The Power of the Holy Spirit in Revival (3 of 4) by Brad Whitt

Series: Revival in Our Time
Brad Whitt
John 16:7-15
INTRO: I want you to take God's Word now this morning and be finding your place at the Gospel of John Chapter 16 if you will. We are in a series of messages on the person, purpose, plan and power of revival that we have entitled, "Revival In Our Time." And this morning I want to talk to you about the spiritual means of revival.
While, you're turning there let me ask you a question? What is the spiritual means of revival? I can give it to you in three words. The Holy Spirit.
ILLUS: Power outage in North Carolina this past weekend. Hundreds of thousands of homes without power. All across our nation there are thousands, hundreds of thousands of church-houses without power, because the power of revival is the presence of the Holy Spirit.
The evidence speaks for itself. Today, we have hundreds and hundreds of churches that are either stagnant or declining in attendance. Baptisms are declining every single year. We're losing more and more of our young people to the world when they graduate from High School. Divorce is at an all time height. And the reason is that we have millions of church that are without power, the power of His presence. And this is a tragedy that breaks the heart of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ who left the glory of Heaven to come to this world and to die for our sins on an old rugged cross and to be raised on the next Sunday morning. Praise God, that because of this we can be saved. We can have the power of His presence. We can experience a revival.
But listen, if we expect to see revival in America, it must begin with the states. If we expect to see revival in our state, it must begin with the cities. And if we expect to see revival in our city, it must begin with the churches. If we expect to see revival in our church, then it must begin with the home. And, listen to me; if we expect to see revival in ...

Minnesota 27, Chicago 22
MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Daunte Culpepper and Randy Moss
exploited the scent of the wounded Bears.
Culpepper threw for 360 yards, including a pair of touchdowns to
Moss, to lead the Minnesota Vikings to a 27-22 victory over the
Chicago Bears in a battle of NFC North Division rivals.
The Bears (1-2) played without Pro Bowl middle linebacker Brian
Urlacher and had a depleted secondary that was missing three
starters - safety Mike Brown and cornerbacks Charles Tillman and
Jerry Azumah. That was made to order for Culpepper, Moss and
Onterrio Smith, who rushed for 94 yards and caught six passes
for 104 yards.
"We're going to take whatever the defense gives us," Smith said.
"If they take away our receivers over the top, we're going to
run. Today, we were successful doing both."
Cornerback R.W. McQuarters was left with the unenviable task of
trying to cover Moss despite being five inches shorter than the
Pro Bowl receiver. Moss used that height advantage to catch a
three-yard touchdown pass over McQuarters in the second quarter.
"(Randy) always tells me just throw it up there and that's what
I did," Culpepper said. "You can see it in his eyes how much he
wants the ball."
Moss also caught a 44-yard pass on a 3rd-and-24 play in the
third quarter before Culpepper scored on a one-yard run and
caught a two-yard touchdown pass with 5:39 left in the fourth
quarter to give the Vikings (2-1) a 27-15 lead. He finished
with seven receptions for 119 yards.
"The guys we had today can play for anyone in the NFL," Bears
linebacker Lance Briggs said. "A win today was the job we were
called to do."
Despite the injuries, the Bears battled back and pulled
within 27-22 on a six-yard run by quarterback Rex Grossman
with two minutes remaining. It was the last play of the
game for Grossman, who left the game with an injured knee.
After forcing the Vikings to punt with a minute and a half left,
backup quarterback Jonathan Quinn threw three incomplete passes
and was sacked on fourth down by defensive tackle Kevin
"We made the big plays down the stretch on the final drive,"
Williams said. "I don't think it mattered which quarterback they
had in there, we were going to get after him."
Thomas Jones rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown and caught
eight passes for 71 yards for Chicago.
"I felt like I was in a rhythm," Jones said. "When you get that
late in the game, you get into another zone, but we didn't make
the plays when we needed to make them."
Minnesota's Morten Andersen broke George Blanda's NFL record for
games played with 341, spanning 23 seasons. The 44-year-old
Andersen made field goals of 42 and 24 yards and missed from 46.
Paul Edinger kicked field goals of 34 and 23 yards to stake the
Bears to a 6-0 lead. The second field goal came after Bears end
Adewale Ogunleye returned a fumble seven yards to the Minnesota
The Vikings then scored the next 17 points. Culpepper hit Kelly
Campbell with a 40-yard pass and connected with Moss on a
15-yard pass before lofting the three-yard TD to Moss with 8:57
left in the second quarter.
Andersen's 42-yard field goal 3:48 later increased the lead to
Culpepper connected with Moss on a 44-yard pass and Smith broke
off a 38-yard run before Culpepper scored on a one-yard run 4:02
into the third quarter.
Jones turned a short pass into a 36-yard gain before scoring on
a one-yard run with 6:20 left in the fourth quarter to pull the
Bears within 20-15.
But the Vikings responded quickly, needing just four plays to
get into the end zone. Culpepper hit Nate Burleson with a
63-yard pass to the Chicago 4. Two plays later, Moss caught a
two-yard touchdown with 5:39 remaining.

A lot of people think that porners are always looking hot and incredible and they don't really realize that at the end of the day they are just like everybody else and look pretty rough in the morning!
Well, porn star turned actor Brent Corrigan uploaded a video of him in bed talking to his fans just before getting up and out of bed to host the 2013 Grabbys and he talks about speaking into a giant dildo to the fact that he has a hard time with crowds. Despite the fact that he is just waking up Brent looks all kinds of deee-lish and one thing is for sure the boy likes to talk, talk and TALK!
Here's the video of Mr. Corrigan in the morning and in the beginning you can see some butt cheek and that alone makes the video worth watching.

UG Readers React to Dream Theater's New Album
This new weekly feature takes the best UG comments on a surprise topic. This week, we see the best reactions to Dream Theater's eponymous album.
Welcome to a new style of post, where we post the best comments from readers on a surprise topic each week. It's a brand new format which will bring attention to the best comments posted on UG. You never know which story we'll shine our feature torch on next, so keep posting your smart, funny and quick-witted comments to Ultimate Guitar and you might find yourself on the front page of the biggest guitar community in the world. This week we shared the brand new self-titled Dream Theater album, which was streaming in full It's their second release without founding drummer Mike Portnoy, and the reaction to their new sound has been mixed to say the least. This is what UG readers had to say after their first listen: Agent 00Awesome: So sick. These guys are on the top of their game.
DeadIdentity81: This album is pretty good, but NO, Dream Theater aren't the greatest Prog metal band out there. They are the GREATEST POPULAR Prog Metal Band and they deserve it, as they have some amazing material and this one is right up there … Illumination Theory is quite possibly the best Dream Theater song I EVER HEARD!!!
guitarsolo_17: Seems pretty strong apart from the opener. In instrumental sections Mangini sounds really tommy where MP would be really hi-hatty. Makes for a different feel. I'd love to hear a mix of both styles, but it isn't really here.
Drakodan: "Not available in your current location" What the HELL is the point in this??? And people WONDER why piracy is so rife.
filipe26: This is not Dream Theater, change the name!
Lurking: Best Dream Theater album in a long long time. My "No Portnoy, not DT train" has been derailed; I am a fan of this sound. This is much more what I want out of this talented band compared to the last few Portnoy albums.
Morphogenesis26: Write...something...different... I swear to god, the same progressions, melodies, note choice, and same horrid lyrics. This isn't progression, this is sh--ty, stagnated, pop rock. A pretty mixed bag of reviews for Dream Theater there. Do you have anything to add? Have these reviews been unfair? Post your reaction to the comments below.

I saw the documentary at a screening a month and a half ago and its a film that just makes you feel nostalgic of hip-hop's golden era. It gives you a little insight into the troublesome relationship between Q-Tip and Phife, as well as the ups and downs the group as a whole has had. And it has a little bit of humor here and there.

Cataract Surgery
Has your vision become cloudy because of cataracts? You have options for treating cataracts, and they are quicker and less painful than you may think! Learn more about eye surgery options for cataracts and how we at Decatur Eye Center can help you achieve clear vision in Bridgeport and Decatur, Texas.
What to Expect With Cataract Surgery
If you have cataracts, things that were once clear may now appear blurred. Additionally, you may notice an increased glare from overhead lights and find it more difficult to see. Just because you have cataracts, you do not need to have surgery. However, our eye doctors may recommend that you have surgery if your cataracts interfere with management of other eye problems or makes it difficult for our eye doctor to perform a vision exam.
Cataract surgery can be completed in less than an hour, so the actual procedure itself is fast and simple. Preparation typically begins one week before, when we will measure your eye's size and shape to determine which lens implant will be right for you. We may recommend that you use eye drops to prepare for your surgery, or that you stop taking certain medications in anticipation of the eye surgery.
In surgery, eye surgeons will remove your cataracts using one of multiple methods. An ultrasound probe can break up the lens and allow for cataract extraction through a small surgical incision on the cornea. Our eye surgeon will select the right method based upon your eye health. After the cataracts are removed, a plastic, acrylic or silicone intraocular lens will be placed in the eye permanently.
While some patients report that their vision is blurry after surgery, take it from our optometrist: You will start to see clearly within a few days of surgery, as your eyes start to heal. During recovery you can expect to spend some time to be spent coming in our office to make sure that the eyes are healing properly. It is important that you follow our recovery recommendations. For cataract surgery, the lenses that replace your cataracts are matched for what you need to see for most daily life, such as driving or watching tv at a distance. You only need glasses for reading in many cases.
We understand that you may have questions about cataract surgery after reading this information. The best ways to get your questions answered and learn all you can about cataract surgery is to schedule an appointment for a consultation. During a consultation, we will make sure you qualify for cataract surgery, talk about what you can expect from surgery and recovery, and inform you of the next steps. We leave time to answer all your questions during a consultation, so you can make a decision about what is best.
Are you ready to learn more about surgery for cataracts? The next step is to schedule a patient consultation with our eye doctors in Decatur and Bridgeport. Reserve your consultation by completing our online appointment form or calling us at the Decatur Eye Center at 940-627-2020. We look forward to helping you achieve clear vision!

Human Appeal announce two year partnership with Junaid Jamshed
Human Appeal announced a two year partnership with Pakistani music legend Junaid Jamshed on Friday at a press conference in London.
The deal will see Jamshed give exclusive rights to Human Appeal and work with them on many charitable projects, especially in Pakistan.
The press conference was held before the second leg of the charity's UK-wide 10 city tour in aid of Rebuilding Lives in Pakistan, Welcome Ramadan, in Ilford.
"I've seen first hand the work of Human Appeal in Pakistan, in particular the sanitation of water and the initiatives they have to prevent the spread of many diseases. Last month, I accompanied them to visit their projects in Pakistan and was moved by the work they do there." Jamshed said.
Othman Moqbel, Human Appeal's Chief Executive, said: "We're delighted that someone of Junaid Jamshed's stature and international standing has joined us. His partnership with Human Appeal will further encourage the good work we do in Pakistan and across the world."
The tour, starring Jamshed and US-based Quran reciter and Youtube sensation, Fatih Seferagic, kicked off on Thursday in Edinburgh.
In each city, a surprise scholar, popular in the local community, will give a inspirational talk to the audience.
Sheikh Sa'ad Noumani, who's known for his ability to mimic famous reciters from around the world, will also be joining the tour for the last four shows.

"NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams appeared in a brief cameo for Thursday night's edition of the sitcom "30 Rock" and spoofed himself as someone interested in trolling for anonymous sexual hook-ups. The scene revolved around characters "Jack Donaghy" (Alec Baldwin) and "Tracy Jordan" (Tracy Morgan), an actor on the show within the show. (The episode involved Baldwin's character, a network executive who produces a sketch show that Jordan stars in, trying to help his co-star find an anniversary present for his wife.)
Towards the end of the program, Jordan broke down and admitted to Donaghy that, despite impressions to the contrary, he had never cheated on his wife. "The partying is just for show...All the phone numbers you see me hand out, they're not even mine," he explained. As an example of such a phone call, the show then cut to a scene of anchor Brian Williams quietly reading the newspaper in his Connecticut home. He picked up a ringing phone and answered: "Hello? No, this isn't Tracy Jordan. [Williams pauses, listening.] Really? I've not heard of that term before. Do you know how to get to Connecticut?" A distinguished news anchor joking about random sex with strangers? What's next? Charlie Gibson on "Dancing With the Stars?" Katie Couric on "Survivor?"
In April of 2008, "30 Rock" featured a subplot about the conservative Donaghy launching a celebrity ad campaign to stop African Americans from voting.
A transcript of the exchange, which aired at 9:52pm on April 23, follows:
"JACK DONAGHY" (Alec Baldwin): But Tracy, sometimes I think men like us aren't built for marriage.
"TRACY JORDAN" (Tracy Morgan): Okay, this is something I've never told anyone. This is my terrible secret. In 20 years that I've known her, I've never cheated on my wife. There. I said it. Don't look at me.
DONAGHY: Wait a minute. that can't be the truth.
JORDAN: The partying is just for show. And because I'm a high-functioning alcoholic. All the phone numbers you see me hand out, they're not even mine.
[Cut to Brian Williams reading the newspaper. The phone rings.]
BRIAN WILLIAMS: Hello? No, this isn't Tracy Jordan. [Williams thinks for a minute.] Really? I've not heard of that term before. Do you know how to get to Connecticut?
[Cut back to Jordan and Donaghy.]
DONAGHY: My God. That's an inspiration. I mean, if you can do it-
JORDAN: So can you. Because, I'm a ridiculous, unstable human being.

Hope someone can give me an answer on this. One of my files is a straightforward accordion that loads in either images or swfs on the tabs. Works like a charm. Now someone bought it and ran into a problem, that I hadn't thought about. The swf he loaded on one of the tabs of the accordion loaded in images of itself via another XML file. So let's say XML upon XML . His swf that loads in images via XML works perfectly on its own, but when I load in that swf via XML into my accordion, his swf does not display the images loaded in anymore. I hope I'm still clear here.
Does anyone know if it is possible to have such a construction?
btw I made a simple swf of my own that loads in one png file. And tried to load in that swf into my accordion via XML and that didn't work either. I'm guessing it's just not possible. Can anyone verify this?
Is the other swf (and its xml file) in a different folder than the accordion swf?
Tried in the same and in another, with the right paths in the XML files of course
Tried in the same and in another, with the right paths in the XML files of course
The reason I asked is that the externally loaded swf will use the folder in which the main swf resides as its start folder for any relative paths it references, not the folder in which it resides itself (as it would when run as a standalone) This applies to both the path it uses to find the XML file and the path it uses for the image urls it finds in the xml file.
But it should be simple enough to find where it is failing by running from Flash and putting trace statements in at the place where the URLs are used to examine what they contain. And if you need to test outside of Flash or on the server just put temporary dynamic textfields on the stage which you can update with the path names as they are used.
What you want to do is certainly possible, and is done done in many templates.
Thanks mate,
I will experiment some more with it.
it is possible to do, people do it with my templates plenty, like tinman said, the loaded swf will load files from the swf that loaded it, so watch the path.
Other than that make sure the loaded swf doesn't have any errors throwing that are stopping the swf from working when loaded externally (such as using stage before the loaded swf is added to the parent swf's stage, that's a common one, see this)
Thanks very very much MBM . Due to your comment I found the problem in the clients fla. Thanks for saving me a load of time!

Al Taylor's medical adventure resulted from happenstance. When a new CT scanner at his hospital needed one more volunteer for an initial series of test scans, he volunteered. Much to his surprise, the scan's results revealed a congenital heart defect—not an immediate medical threat, but something that would eventually require major surgery to correct.
Besides being the president and CEO of Stanly Regional Medical Center, Taylor was also a devoted runner and fitness enthusiast as an active member of WaveRunners, a local running group in his hometown of Albemarle, N.C.
Despite years of conditioning to complete six half marathons, Taylor was unknowingly born with a hole in his heart. In addition, one of the veins running from his lungs to his heart was actually connected to the wrong side, causing the right side of his heart to enlarge. If left untreated, the condition could eventually lead to irreversible heart damage and an increased risk of stroke.
As a result, Taylor made an appointment to see Benjamin Peeler, MD, chief of pediatric and adult congenital cardiothoracic surgery at Carolinas HealthCare System's Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, who is a renowned specialist in the repair of congenital heart defects. Following their meeting, surgery was scheduled for the morning of October 1, 2012.
Taylor was released from the hospital four days after Dr. Peeler's lengthy but successful surgery. Within one week, he was at the Stanly County YMCA navigating a slow, guarded walk around the track. As November approached and his condition gradually improved, he set his sights on competing in a half marathon in South Carolina in February.
"I really started training the first day I was able to get out of bed at the hospital," recalls Taylor.
On February 16, 2013, just four and a half months after undergoing major open heart surgery, Taylor joined his wife, daughter and thousands of other runners on a 13.1 mile run in Myrtle Beach to give his recently tuned-up heart a performance test.
Before the race started, he was proclaimed "a true health advocate" to the waiting crowd around him. "He's gone from flat line to the finish line in just four and a half months," announced Peter Ascuitto, one of Al's friends in the Uwharrie Running Club.
"Regardless of what it is going on in your life, you can live healthy," Taylor said. "I have personally experienced the 'Power of One.' In my case, this meant clinical excellence and seamless coordination of care. What this has done for me is to affirm that I can overcome anything. One System and One team all worked together on behalf of my one heart. Hopefully, my example will let other cardiac patients realize that they can do the same."

The Board of Directors of JSC KazMunaiGas Exploration Production ("KMG EP" or the "Company") issues the following update as a clarification.
◾ Miller and Lents, Ltd. («MLL») clarified that they did not rely solely on the last three years of production in their estimates and confirmed that they assumed a long-term production decline rate of 10% for the period of 2021-2032 which is in line with the Company's expectations. This is an increase from 7% used by Gaffney, Cline & Associates (GCA) for the audit as at 31 December 2011.
◾ The major deviation between GCA and MLL assessments of 2P reserves relates to the period after 2021, when the subsoil use contracts at the Company's core assets expires, due to different entry production levels as well as differing assumptions about production decline rates.
◾ KMG EP used MLL production profile as a basis for the impairment valuation in 2012 and 1H2013.

Your Morning Jolt Just Got Bigger
If the 24-oz "Venti" wasn't enough to get your caffeine fix each morning, you now have a new option. Starbucks just rolled out its 31-oz "Trenta" cup for its cold beverages.
The new drink size already is available in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. It rolls out in California today, and the nationwide rollout should be complete by May 3.
At 31 ounces, the Trenta is 916ml of fluid. The average human stomach has a capacity of 900ml. Do we really need this much caffeine (or sugar) added to our daily diet? With our waistlines growing and our lifestyles becoming more sedentary, is Starbucks' addition of the Trenta in the interest of public health or their bottom line?
No trackbacks yet.

ZURICH, Feb 26 (Reuters) - EFG International AG expects Brazil's Grupo BTG Pactual SA to be a silent investor when it takes a 20-30 percent stake in the Swiss bank, EFG's chief executive told a Swiss newspaper.
As part of the 1.33 billion Swiss franc ($1.33 billion) deal for EFG to buy BTG Pactual SA's Swiss private banking unit BSI, the São Paulo-based bank will receive enough shares to become EFG's second biggest stakeholder.
"We expect that BTG will be a silent investor," EFG International Chief Executive Joachim Straehle told Finanz und Wirtschaft in an interview published on Friday.
EFG will pay 975 million francs in cash, with BTG Pactual also getting a roughly 20 percent stake in EFG. This could rise to 30 percent if the share sale gets bogged down in tough markets.
Greece's billionaire Latsis family will remain EFG's biggest shareholder.
Through the BSI purchase, which was announced on Monday, EFG hopes to catapult itself into Switzerland's top five money managers for the wealthy.
Just five months ago, BTG Pactual sealed a deal to buy BSI for 1.25 billion francs, only to decide it needed cash after the arrest of its billionaire founder André Esteves in November.

How does one go about selecting a team for a group
Within 48 of making the switch to WP, someone registered a new account and sent me an email asking for posting privelleges. I checked out her web site, (I think it's a her) and gave the account posting privelleges.
Now that I think about it, I'll probably approve just about anyone who asks to join the team. But if do that, why not give new users posting privilleges by default? I suppose requiring new users to send a brief email discourages those who only desire to cause damage.
So for those who have groupblogs, how do you deal with new users?
It would be really nice if there was a system that required low level users to have their postings approved before they are published, but I haven't been able to find a plugin that would do this. In fact, it seems that only CMS tools like Scoop and PHPnuke allow this kind of functionality, which would be overkill for my site.

Since winter is coming, you should have gone from a normal purchase of 10w30 to a winter purchase of 5w30, you went backwards. 5w30 is thinner when cold, 10w30 is thicker. The thin oil circulates easier in cold temps, therefore it gets to the critical points sooner. Where's Tracy, near Sacramento, right? If I am right, then you live in a climate where 10w30 or 5w30 is no big deal, if you lived in Fargo then you would probably want to know more about oil viscosity so you do not make this mistake again.
I was in a BMW parts department a few weeks ago, and looked at every bottle of oil on the shelf in the customer area of the store, not one listed itself as LL-01. The Owner's Manual says that API Grade SM or higher is good. I believe the API Grade on the shelf at Walmart these days is SR. I have never seen a bottle of oil that says it is LL-01, except I did see that spec once about a year ago at my local dealership, but on a recent trip I did not see it. There is no published spec in any User Documentation that says, LL-01. All available user documentation says API Grade SM.
You can, and should, use the best quality oil you can find, and this includes the suggestion that you use LL-01, but your motor will not turn to a heap of molten metal on the way to work someday because you bought motor oil at Walmart. It is far more likely to turn to a pile of molten metal because the viscosity is way too heavy or way too thin, or it is some old motor oil you found in the corner of Grandpa's barn that he bought in 1950. If you buy the highest API Grade, which I think is about SR or ST today, and it is the correct weight for your climate, then your car will be fine.

So I've decided I'm going to start a PhoneBooth series. I'm doing this for a couple reasons. First off, I think the light from the phonebooths is really beautiful at night, but there is something else... I also find phonebooths fascinating. They are relics of an wired age that stand throughout the city, nearly unused, collecting trash and insects. In the wireless digital age, these things have become interesting curiosities that I would love to photograph. So I will!
I've been walking past a particular phonebooth on my way home for a while now and I love the way it glows in the dimly lit city at night. I just recently got a nice little Panasonic Lumix GX1 and have been dragging it around with me wherever I go. Last night I walked by the phonebooth and decided to take a couple shots and had a lot of fun doing it.

[Holistic Squid note: Whether you are planning your holiday meals or just a weekday family dinner, this Gluten Free Gravy is a Real food staple. My favorite? Leftover gravy over scrambled eggs – Don't knock it 'til you've tried it!]
Being a chef in Los Angeles, I am the lucky recipient of so many fun opportunities, like catering Real food parties.
Recently, I cheffed a GAPS-Friendly Fall theme dinner party. Oh boy was it fun! One of the most well-received dishes on the menu was this gluten free gravy!
This gravy contains none of the gluten free flours/thickeners that I find are mostly just as icky as the usual gluten containing flours. Instead, in this recipe I rely on the magic and chemistry of traditional cooking methods to reduce and thicken this gravy into a velvety powerhouse of nutrients.
Nothing we eat has to tear our bodies down. It can all be both delicious and nutrient dense.
Try this gluten free gravy at your Thanksgiving table, and feed your guest with love!
Gluten free gravy ingredients
- ½ cup turkey, chicken or duck fat
- 3 yellow onions, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 cups turkey or chicken bone broth
- 2 bay leaves
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon minced sage
- 1 tablespoon butter (or ghee), preferably from grass fed cows
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- unrefined sea salt
Gluten free gravy method
- Turn stove heat on medium high.
- Melt ½ cup fat skimmed from your chicken or turkey stock (you can also use duck fat or lard) in a wide heavy bottomed sauté pan.
- When fat is shimmering, add onions
- Heat onions for 30-35 minutes, keeping watch and stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden.
- Add 2 pinches of salt and stir.
- Add 3 cups homemade chicken or turkey broth and bay leaves.
- Simmer broth to reduce by ⅔. This will take approx. 45 minutes – 1 hour.
- Stir occasionally taking care to scrape and mix in the golden brown bits from the bottom and sides of pan.
- Turn off heat and remove bay leaves.
- Add minced sage, pepper, butter and salt to taste.
- Use a blender or immersion blender to bring gravy to a velvety consistency.
- At this point, test the thickness of your gravy. If you like the consistency for your purposes, salt and pepper to taste and serve.
OR If you want thicker gravy, pour it back into your pan and continue to cook down with occasional stirring.
OR If you want thinner gravy, add more bone broth (1 tablespoon at a time) until you reach the desired consistency.
Chef's notes: If you can have fermented dairy, stir in 1 tablespoon crème fraiche to this gravy just before serving. Divine!
Yields: 2-2 ½ cups depending on your reduction level

Redemptoris Mater (Latin: "Mother of the Redeemer") is the name for specific missionary seminaries, that were inspired by the Roman Catholic way of life of the Neocatechumenal Way. These seminaries are distributed worldwide, with more than 1,500 seminarians. More than 1,200 graduates of these seminaries have been ordained to the priesthood.
Redemptoris Mater Seminaries
Redemptoris Mater Seminaries are officially described as having a direct relationship to the Neocatechumenal Way, as a Way of maturing towards an adult faith: this Way prepares and awakens its vocations in many young people before they enter the seminary. It accompanies them during their time of formation; once ordained as presbyters it continues to sustain them in their permanent formation within the Neocatechumenal Way, which then becomes a means of evangelisation for the 'far away', an instrument for the "implantatio ecclesiae", through the presence of families that accompany them and help them in their mission.[1]
These diocesan seminaries are presented as a fruit of the Second Vatican Council as well as a fruit of the prophetical vision of Pope John Paul II and accept only priestly vocations coming from the Neocatechumenal Way. The idea to establish these seminaries started in Rome, the diocese of the Holy Father, to establish a seminary with these characteristics:
- international, i.e. with vocations coming from different nations;
- missionary, i.e. that upon ordination, the priests are available to go wherever the ordinary sends them[2].
In 1988, the first Redemptoris Mater Seminary was erected by Cardinal Poletti, Vicar of the Holy Father in Rome.
Today, 75 Redemptoris Mater Seminaries have been started in the world, which have led to ordain more than 1200 priests[3].
In April 2008, the Japanese Bishops' Conference sent a delegation to discuss with Pope Benedict XVI "the serious problem" they are having with the Neocatechumenal Way and its seminary in Takamatsu diocese. Peter Takeo Okada, Archbishop of Tokyo, said that "in the small Catholic Church of Japan, the powerful sect-like activity of Way members is divisive and confrontational. It has caused sharp painful division and strife within the Church. We are struggling with all our strength to overcome the problem but feel that if a solution is to be found, the consideration of Your Holiness for the Church in Japan will be of the utmost importance and direly needed".[4] The Bishops told the Pope that they are having "irreconcilable problems with the Neo-Catechumenate"[5].
The Holy Father in response made the Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Japan a Pontifical Seminary directly administered by Rome.

- ↑ Historical note on Neocatechumenal Way.
- ↑ The inspiration is said to come from the Presbyterorum Ordinis, a document of the Vatican II Council, where it is said: "Let priests remember, therefore, that the care of all churches must be their intimate concern. Hence, priests of such dioceses rich in vocations should show themselves willing and ready, with the permission of their own ordinaries, to volunteer for work in other regions, missions or endeavors which are poor in numbers of clergy. To accomplish this purpose there should be set up international seminaries... by means of which, according to their particular statutes and always saving the right of Bishops, priests may be trained and incardinated for the good of the whole Church..." (cfr. chapter 10 of Presbyterorum Ordinis)
- ↑ NC Way "Redemptoris Mater" priests, while "...legally incardinated in a diocese, often, in fact, exclusively serve the NC Way" (Italian text reads: "Il caso più vistoso è quello del Cammino Neocatecumenale, con più di cinquanta seminari "Redemptoris Mater" in tutto il mondo, dai quali sono usciti migliaia di preti giuridicamente incardinati nelle diocesi ma spesso, di fatto, a servizio esclusivo del Cammino"; source: I sette vizi capitali dei movimenti, secondo "La Civiltà Cattolica").

Implement conditional calculationsAsked by ParkingRetkinia on February 09, 2014 at 02:49 PM
Is it posible to use logical content of calculation like:
IF DATA1=X THEN DATA2=Y OR IF DATA1=XX THEN DATA2=YY OR...etc
If the answer is YES how to write it ?
This is a re-post of a comment on How to Perform Form Calculation Using a Widget
JotForm Support
Hi, as far as I know that is not possible yet, just basic mathematical operations. I will add this to our feature request, so I hope this is implemeted in the future.
This would be a great feature! I too would love to be able to do this. Thank you for adding it as a feature request.
JotForm Support
This has just implemented - go ahead and give it a shot - let us know if you hit any bumps - your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Doesn't work :-(
Our Community Day event is having a golf ball drop, we wanted all purchases online to have a unique ID, as in if a purchaser bought 5 balls each ball would have a unique number that would go onto each ball. Having resolved to not go down that path I do have it setup for each submission having a unique number.
The problem related to this post has to do with the ball purchase - each ball is $5 up to 5 balls where 5 = $20 & 10 balls would be $40 - I have tried everything and it just does not work. First entry works fine everything after that is blank...

Could you please share with us the URL of the form you are working on? So we can check furthe, we will be glad to assist you.
Yes, sorry forgot to provide...

Hello LegalJeff,
Upon checking your form, I did not find that you have added any calculation feature in your form. Have you removed it already?
Please take a look at the following form and see if this is what you want to achieve: http://www.jotformpro.com/form/40919098953973?
Here are the steps I followed to achieve your requirement:
1. Replaced the "# of Tickets Purchased:" with a number field.
2. Added two conditions to perform calculation i.e. if it is less than 4 per item price is $5 and if it more than 4 then the price is $4. Please check the screenshot of the conditions:
Feel free to clone this form for a closer look. The following guide should help you in form cloning: https://www.jotform.com/help/42-How-to-Clone-an-Existing-Form-from-a-URL
Hope this helps.
Do get back to us if you have any questions.
Thank you!
That works, thank you...
JotForm Support
Hello LegalJeff,
You are welcome.
I'm very pleased that I was able to help you.
Do get back to us if you have any questions.Thank you!
Is it asking to much if it were possible to formulate so that only multiples of 5 would be at the lower price, for example:
6 balls would be for $25 or 7 for $30 but 10 would be $40, 15 for $60 etc...
Thanks for any assistance...
JotForm Support
Hello LegalJeff,
To achieve your requirement, we need to have access to the modulus function in the form builder which unfortunately is not available currently.
We can send a feature addition request to our back end team but you need to create a new thread. We cannot create multiple ticket on one thread.
I have tried to implement a workaround by adding some conditions to achieve your requirement. Please take a look at the following form and see if this works as expected: http://www.jotformpro.com/form/40919098953973
Right now I have added the condition only for up to 50 "# of Tickets Purchased:". We can add some more conditions if required. Feel free to clone this form for a closer look. The following guide should help you in form cloning: http://www.jotform.com/help/42-How-to-Clone-an-Existing-Form-from-a-URL
Thank you!
You rock :-) thank you
Jotform support rocks!!!
Came up with a simpler solution for the single ticket purchases but now I need to limit entries of numbers from 1 to 4 is there a way to do that? I already use the entry limit but it only gives a warning, I would rather it just not allow the numbers greater then 4 to not enter....
Thanks again for your help...
JotForm Support
Hi Jeff,
Number field has maximum limit option which I think you've just setup on the ball purchase number field on your form. Tested it here and it's limiting to 4.Thanks
JotForm Support
In addition to my colleague, perhaps you can just use also a condition like this
I testd using Ashwin_d's cloned form http://form.jotform.me/form/40947340024448? (you can check also)
Hope this help also.
Thanks for your suggestions...
It seems that you now have to use the Update a form field value to create conditional calculations. But how do you perform the Insert function now?
JotForm Support
@ jamesforpm
That is correct, you use instead the "Update a form field value" to insert/update value of a field using conditional statement.
the Insert function is still there -- you have to setup the option Output to Field to insert value from a field to another field.
Check this user guide also https://www.jotform.com/help/286-How-to-Populate-Field-with-a-Value-from-another-Field
Hopet this help. Inform us if you need further assistance.

It is not quite clear from your question, but it sounds like you are concerned about the liabilty that comes with being listed as a registered owner of the vehicle. If this is the case I would suggest going in to the DMV to have your name removed from the registration.

The Arab League says Syria has three days to halt its "bloody repression" of pro-democracy activists, or it will impose sanctions against one of its founding members, Agence France-Presse reported.
At a meeting of the Arab League in Morocco, Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim al-Thani said diplomatic efforts were "close to the end of the road," BBC reported.
"If Damascus does not agree to cooperate with the League, sanctions will be adopted against Syria," he said, according to AFP.
In response, angry crowds of Syrians reportedly attacked the embassies of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates in Damascus.
Morocco responded by recalling its ambassador to Syria, hours after France did the same, according to AFP.
Foreign Minister Alain Juppe reportedly told the French parliament: "There has been renewed violence in Syria, which has led me to close our consular offices in Aleppo and in Latakia as well as our cultural institutes and to recall our ambassador to Paris."
France, Germany and Britain are pushing for a UN resolution condemning the Syrian regime for human rights violations in its ongoing crackdown on anti-regime protests, which the UN says has killed more than 3,500 people.
Ministers from those countries announced their decision after the Arab League's emergency meeting in the Moroccan capital, Rabat, VOA reported. They reportedly did not say what would happen if Damascus failed to comply.

Hi everyone. First, let me thank you for sharing your stories on this board. My baby was diagnosed with a CDH at 18 weeks, after a cystic hygroma was discovered at the 12 week ultrasound. I have been reading this board since the diagnosis and it has given me a lot of hope and information.
I had a second Level 2 ultrasound today with a specialist at Brookwood Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama. The good news is that the hygroma has gone down. However, my baby's stomach and bowels have moved through the hernia into her chest cavity. She has some fluid around her heart, and there is some concern that her lungs are not developing correctly, which could lead to pulmonary hypoplasia. The specialist recommended that I look into surgeries at the Fetal Care Center in Cincinnati (post-birth, EXIT-to-ECMO) and at the Miller School of Medicine in Miami, which I understand is an in utero procedure. I was hoping that someone could share any thoughts or experiences with these centers or surgeries, or any other options at other locations.
Thanks so much for any thoughts.
Mom to Sophie (4/12/06) and Cecelia (due 1/6/09)

Sun Damage Skin Recovery
You may need sun damage skin recovery by summer's end. Once again, Fall is right around the corner.
The lazy days of summer are quickly fading from memory and the cold climate of winter is approaching in the near future.
Besides reminiscences of picnics and camping, cookouts and days on the beach, summer can leave you with something else- unfortunate damage to your skin.
Wind and sun as well as many other summer factors can be very hard on your complexion.
When Autumn descends around you with its mild weather life generally begins to slow down somewhat and this is the time that you may really become aware of how much the hot summer days affected your skin.
Repair Sun Damage Skin With A Peel
One ideal way to help repair some of the damage caused by fun in the sun and to ready your skin for the coming cold winter climate is with a facial peel.
Typically, a peel works on the protein tissue that is already dead and is joined to other dead skin cells.
Peels generally do not work on the live protein found within living cells. A peel will take away dead skin and leave behind beautiful, fresh skin.
A peel is the perfect way to heighten your flesh to full, maximum lushness. Although you can decide for yourself when it is time for a peel, it is usually a good idea to consult with a skin care professional for their expert opinion.
Summer Skin Problems
Premature aging, wrinkles, dry skin, and color discoloration are just a few of the problems you may face from damage to your skin from summer.
There are some products created by professionals that are designed to not only repair existing damage but to also thwart future issues.
One very important step towards protecting yourself from the harsh summer sun, is to become aware of how the sun's harmful UV rays effect your skin type and working towards guarding yourself against that.
Skin Discoloration
Many times, people who experience skin discoloration will find that it was caused by too much time in the sun.
Appearing as dark brown blotches on your face or hands, Hyperpigmentation is one of the main factors in discoloration of the flesh.
There are numerous different treatments available for erasing the damage that causes Hyperpigmentation. People can used various products such as a gentle bleach or even an acid peel.
If you have been diagnosed as being apt to coming up with repeated cases of hyperpigmentation, the wisest course of action is to limit the time that you spend in the sun and to use a powerful sun block.
Premature aging is another unfortunate symptom of too much time spent in the sun.
You can suffer such effects as unhealthy skin; wrinkles and sagging just to name a few. Premature aging can also of course be caused by other issues such as not taking proper care of your skin by using incorrect methods.
If you find your skin looking old before its time, deep cleansing treatments, a facial massage and products purchased from professionals that are meant for firming, lifting and moisturizing is a good direction to go in.
The Good News
The good news is that for most of the summer skin problems that you encounter, there is a cure that can be found to aid your complexion in looking lovely once again.
Being in the sun for long periods of time can cause you to have dry skin in the summer. You can also experience the effects of dry skin if you spend a lot of time going from locations cooled artificially to being outside in the sun.
Whether you are outdoors in the summer or the winter, always make sure that you use a very good brand on sunscreen on your flesh.
Warding off excessively dry skin can also be done by making use of skin rejuvenations, which can include exfoliation of the face and body, as well as moisturizing treatments designed to work deep into sun damaged skin.

July 10, 2008 - July 3, 2008
. I know there will be a lot of grand rhetoric over the next
few days about the value of American freedom and liberty and the debt
we owe to those who have fought for it over the centuries. But there is
more than one way to fight. This year, as we enter the last mile of our
quadrennial presidential festival of lies, smears, empty promises,
and full-of-it reportage, I'm thinking it's a propitious
moment to remind ourselves of another grand American warrior tradition:
We have celebrated diversity and the uniquely wonderful attributes of so many distinct groups in our rapidly dis-integrating melting pot that we tend to forget an important truth -- that there's a hell of a lot wrong with all of them, us included. It is perhaps an unusual but energizing act of patriotism to realize how great this country is despite the unending frailties of human nature and the ill-founded vanities of the loudest among us. And it's arguable that one of the reasons for our national greatness is that we have somehow tolerated and even nurtured a small but hardy stream of wits who speak the harshest truths and make us like it. I'm dedicating this Fourth of July to them.
Here's an excerpt from a book review:
Mark Twain: Collected Tales, Sketches, Speeches & Essays, 2 vols.
(Library of America, 2,126 pp., $70)
The Incredulous, accusatory question, "You don't like Mark Twain?" is one I heard throughout my young womanhood. The shocked inquisitor was always male. This particular gender gap has its roots in the way our schools teach Twain. In my day, junior-high English classes read Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, and the story about the frog. Little girls despise little boys and frogs � the distinction is minimal at that age � so the damage is done. Whatever Twain we are forced to read in college invariably runs up against the pubertal mental block, so we spend the best years of our lives going around saying, "I can't stand Mark Twain."
I changed my mind in my thirties when l began to prefer non-fiction to novels and discovered Twain's essays. All of my old favorites, as well as some new ones, are contained in this superbly presented collection.
These books are secular bibles for our
times � and not merely
because they are printed on elegantly thin paper. Bill Clinton's living
obituary is contained in the 1901 essay "Corn-Pone Opinions," a
dissection of the man who "can't bear to be outside the pale; can't
bear to be in disfavor; can't endure the averted face and the cold
shoulder; wants to stand well with friends, wants to be smiled upon,
wants to be welcome, wants to hear the precious words 'he's on the
right track!'"
I don't want to violate the fair usage principle, but read the whole
review. It's a beautifully concise introduction to some of Mark Twain's
most outrageously "mean-spirited" writings, including what may be the
most devastating demolition of a supposed literary great ever printed.
The reviewer is a huge fan of Twain at his wickedest, and I'm a huge
fan of the reviewer, Florence King. Which is why this is a twofer. By
all means (re)acquaint yourselves with the dark side of America's first
genuine literary titan. It's no wonder this and that herd of
disgruntled sheep are still trying to run his books out of libraries
across the nation. Something about him remains fresh and sharp, still
capable of drawing blood with his pen. But so is Florence King. She is
a proud misanthrope whose essays for the National Review over the years have
skewered fools on the left and
the right in prose so distinctly apt as to seem unassailable. And, like
Twain, she is very very funny.
You can go look up her life story elsewhere. I'm going to give you
just a few excerpts to demonstrate her range of subjects and deftness
with words. This is thoroughly unfair to her, by the way. Each of
her pieces is its own whole, very difficult to cut InstaPundit style
biopsies from. Consider them appetizers instead.
On recycling:
To get rid of useless furniture today you must hire a trash hauler to take it to the landfill, or else take it yourself, provided you own a truck and, if a woman, can lift a bureau and don't mind driving to desolate places like landfills. Otherwise, you have to rent a truck and find two strong young men you aren't afraid to let into your home. The only guaranteed way to get rid of old stuff is to buy new stuff from a store that takes your old stuff to the landfill for free.
Then again, the landfill may not take it... I bought a new air conditioner from a store that promised to take the old one off my hands. I thought it was a free service but they said they had to charge me $25 labor to take the condenser out before they would be allowed to throw the AC away; otherwise the landfill "wouldn't accept" it. Waste not, want not condensers.
My attic storage room is full of 15 years' worth of fritzed appliances and electric fans, but with neither janitor nor incinerator I am now faced with taking them unspayed to the landfill and finding out what it feels like to be rejected by a dump.
On TV
Emeril, who has a band, is the most nerve-wracking. All of them talk too much, kid around, do tricks with utensils, mug for the camera, keep up a steady stream of unfunny patter, and in general show off for the audience, who invariably respond like schoolchildren with a teacher who can't or won't maintain discipline. The din and distractions make it impossible to follow the recipes or study the techniques. Having an audience is part of the problem; it's like trying to cook and converse with your dinner guests at the same time. The kitchen is one place where show biz doesn't work; the sole shining exception being Julia Child -- a comic genius without trying.
Not all TV cooks are obstreperous. Martha
Stewart is a model of
discipline, but that's just the trouble. She reminds me of Fraulein von
Frumpel, the villainess in a WWII-era Saturday serial designed to keep
us phartlings pumped up for the war effort. Stewart says all the right
homemaker things, but I can't help feeling that somewhere in there is
an "Achtung!" waiting to come out.
On lists:
The trouble with lists is that they are the work of conformists. Take, for example, that old standby, the Ten Most Admired, an annual exercise in lockstep opinion ever since I can remember. Year after year, it was always the same; an overnight newsmaker might occasionally break through the phalanx of acceptable thinking, but otherwise it boiled down to the President, the First Lady, and Billy Graham.
The millennial lists exceeded mere conformity to achieve the most rigid political correctness yet seen. Nelson Mandela was on everything except Entomologists Who Changed Our Lives, Gloria Steinem was right up there with Edison on the one about light-shedders, and Crazy Horse joined Oscar Wilde on Most Misunderstood.
If the cure for democracy is more
democracy, then the cure for lists
is more lists, so I have compiled People I Instinctively Like for My
Own Quirky Reasons Whether I Ought To or Not.
On a biography of Gloria
The parable of the mud turtle comes at the end of this hagiographic book, but it so perfectly illustrates the feminist blind spot of both biographer and subject that I shall start with it.
Here is how Gloria Steinem claims she learned to respect the right to self-determination:
During a science field trip in college, she found a turtle beside a road. Afraid that it would get run over, she picked it up and carried it back into the woods where it would be safe � only to be told by her professor that it had probably taken the turtle weeks to reach the muddy shoulder where she wanted to lay her eggs, but now, thanks to Miss Steinem's help, she would have to start all over again.
"It was a lesson Steinem never forgot," writes Carolyn G. Heilbrun.
Really? Coulda fooled me. Miss Steinem
has made a career of meddling
in women's egg-laying habits and taking them where she thinks they
ought to be. Now, in what is tactfully known as post-feminism, they are
faced with the task of starting all over again.
On the publication of the letters of Ayn Rand:
Her most notorious trait emerges in a letter to Archibald Ogden, editor of The Fountainhead, who was to supply an introduction to the 25th-anniversary edition. In his draft he made the mistake of relating the funny things that happened during the editing of the book, and was promptly hit by a Scud missive: "You are entitled to your own views about humor. But you know mine, and you chose to ignore them � and there is no meeting ground." She cast him out and wrote the introduction herself.
On Ughs
(her term for the squalid in our culture):
Since arrested development is as American as apple pie, it is easy to identify the subconscious motivation of the adult male Ughs who produce all these revolting movies and commercials. They are our tassel-loafered Taliban, engaged in a last, desperate striving for male domination under the tacit battle cry, "If you can't beat 'em, disgust 'em."
Unfortunately, it's getting harder and harder to disgust women these days, so the Ugh content of American life must keep expanding to fill the vacuum left by female modesty and delicacy. Consequently, our entire population now has a median age of 14, and a sense of proportion that never gets past the eighth grade.
I won't pretend I've done her justice. But here's an archive list
at NRO, where you can also learn how to procure larger collections of
her work.
If you get tired of the clicheed bombast this weekend, though, remember where you can find some quick and deadly antidotes -- and take the time to celebrate the fact that we still (for how much longer?) have freedom of speech in our country.
Happy Independence Day.

From soda can to happy plant: 3D Printed Campbell Planter turns cans and bottles into a chic, self-watering planter.
There's too many cans! What do we do with all the cans? What if there was a way to completely reuse that trash and make a nice 3D self-watering planter at the same time?
This free to print design on Thingiverse is dubbed the Campbell Planter, presumably because of the ubiquitous and iconic Campbell soup cans. The Campbell Planter uses old cans to create new, surprisingly fashionable planters.
Recycling is great. Sure, these bottles could just be chucked in the recycling bin, but that cycle still does produce waste. Reusing, on the other hand, wastes only filament and the amount of energy needed to run a 3D printer. Plus, it saves money.
Super Chic, Super Easy Campbell Planter
It all starts with a 3D printed adapter. Maker Agustin Flowalistik (he of low poly Pokemon fame) chose three of the most common sizes he had lying around the house and created adapters to fit each of them. These designs can also be scaled to fit any other can sizes.
The project is also exceptionally easy to put together. It requires no support materials and uses only a very small amount of filament — only 25g for the soda can adapter. For that shiny, "this was actually bought in a store" look, try sanding them for a few minutes.
After printing, assembling and planting… that's it. The planter was designed to use popular self-watering methods to regularly deliver the (more or less) perfect amount of water to the plant. That means you're not only saving the planet but, for those of us who are less than ideal gardeners, you're saving a plant.
What's more, the resulting planter actually looks cool. Sanding lends the cans a chic and modern look, and the unsanded cans have a particular rustic DIY flair (try pairing them with your mason jars and string lights).
Too many cans laying around your apartment? Print a planter and slap a ribbon on it to make an awesome gift. There's basically no reason not to print a Campbell Planter.

Weekly Poll
|Study shows Dubai World's Palm island is sinking
|Thursday, 10 December 2009 12:35
A leading European ground survey company is claiming that Dubai World's US$12 billion man-made island, the Palm Jumeirah is literally sinking.
According to a report by CNBC, Fugro NPA has found that the island, which was dredged from the seabed and shaped into a palm, is sinking by five milimetres a year.
"We're seeing across the island, at a number of locations, ground is moving downwards," the report quoted Adam Thomas, a project manager at Fugro, as saying.
The expert added that the island housing luxury beach front apartments would face rising sea levels.
