Christina Hendricks – MTV's Undressed
MTV's Undressed was a show I watched solely because at least twice an episode a woman ended up in her underwear, and the whole purpose of the show was essentially PG-13 porn. If you never saw the show, watch this video and you'll see all you need to know. While still trying to make it in Hollywood Christina Hendricks had a turn on the show but unfortunately for posterity she did not strip down.

Welcome to another post of helping a reader travel!
This weekly post is to help readers get a ton of travel advice from thousand of Deals We Like blog readers. Thus far, we've been able to help other readers travel to a slew of domestic and international destinations. Check out recent destinations and comment on suggestions here.
So this weeks travel destination includes Hong Kong. I received the following email from reader Lauren:
"I am going to Hong Kong this year and would love advice from your readers. I am looking to use points, so what hotel would you suggest? Should I stay in Hong Kong Island or Kowloon? Also, any suggested restaurants, including some authentic establishments? What are the top things to see, and what is the minimum time needed?
I was actually in Hong Kong 2 and a half years ago and loved it! It was part of my 18 day trip that included Thailand as well. I stayed at the Renaissance in Hong Kong Island and thought the location was great. It was right next to the ferry to Kowloon. When I stayed though it was a category 5 hotel and I was able to use some free night certificates. Unfortunately that hotel is now a category 7! I was there for three days and thought that was the minimum amount of time needed. One day we took the ferry to Macau which was a neat experience. While there are massive casinos there, I was more intrigued by the Portuguese section. We also went to Victoria Peak and Big Buddah. A big time is to take the train from the airport – it is much cheaper than taking a taxi and very easy!
If you've ever been to Hong Kong, let's help out reader Lauren and I am sure many other interested readers!
Also, if you have any upcoming travel where you need some help, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com to be a featured "Help a Reader Travel" Monday special. Thanks!

I'm really out of touch with the latest fashions. Call it old age or whatever, but I don't quite have the time to be concerned with such trivialities anymore (implication: I once did concern myself with such trivialities). Anyway, what's up with guys having a shaved head and sunglasses sitting above the eyes? While some may think it's the latest trend, I think it's a cover for an upcoming alien invasion.

Is Israel justified in exercising its inherent right of self defense against Hamas?
Classic, like the inverse of "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Here's this thing I define as universally, intrinsically justified, and my question is if Israel does it is Israel justified in particular?
— John Bolton (@AmbJohnBolton) July 23, 2014
Well, sure! And was the Emperor Nero justified in doing the things that any normal man would do? Absolutely, to the extent he did them; it was the abnormal things we have a problem with, like murdering his mother, kicking his wife to death, forcing his distinguished philosophy tutor to commit suicide, having most of Rome burned, and persecuting Christians. If Nero said, "Well, I'm just exercising my inherent right of self-defense against those Christians," would we say, "Oh, well, then, carry on" and go back to watching TV?
Or as young Ian was putting it,
"Please stop nailing baby bunnies to the ground with tent stakes."
"Are you saying I'm not allowed to put up a tent in my own yard?"

We can say that there is a principle worth fighting and dying for: Civilians cannot be used to make just wars impossible and morality will not be used as a tool to disarm.Corey Robin comments:
The Gaza war, you see, is not a war over tunnels. It's not even a war in defense of Israel. It's a war about…war, a war in defense of just war. Once upon a time, crackpots thought they were fighting a war to end all wars. That was its justice. Now they're fighting a war in order to make just war possible. That is its justice.The theory of just war is supposed to impose limits upon the launching and fighting of wars. It's a condition of, a constraint upon, war. But here it becomes the end—both the aim and the justification—of war. Because that is the aim of Israel's war, "civilians cannot be used" to make such a war "impossible." They must instead be used to make it possible.

"All we are saying..."
Ex-Ambassador Michael Oren in the Washington Post, explaining what a nice little Bantustan you got there, shame if anything even worse happened to it:
Life in Gaza is miserable now, but if Israel is permitted to prevail, circumstances can improve markedly.... To guarantee peace, this war must be given a chance.Come on, Dad, just one little war? I promise I'll take care of it myself. Heck, you won't even know it's there.

NYC Subway Hero Sued by Former LawyerThe commuter who became an instant hero when he saved a fallen teenager from being struck by a subway train is being sued by his former lawyer, who accuses him of breach of contract.
The lawsuit against Wesley Autrey by attorney Diane L. Kleiman comes nearly a month after Autrey sued her, saying she manipulated him into signing an unfair, one-sided contract that gives most of his earnings to Kleiman and her business partner.
In addition to breach of contract, Kleiman seeks money for her legal fees and "damages to her reputation."
"They're making me look like a shyster. I'm not a shyster," Kleiman told the New York Post. "I'm not money hungry."
Autrey, speaking through his sister, declined to comment, the Post said.
In January, Autrey was waiting for a train when 19-year-old Cameron Hollopeter suffered a seizure and fell onto the tracks as a train was approaching.
Autrey, 50, jumped down from the platform, pulled Hollopeter into the 12-inch-deep drainage trough between the rails and lay on top of him as the train passed safely over them, just clipping Autrey's hat.

Vol. 46, No. 1
January 2009
THE ATTRACTION OF THE AGES Levi Sides, Jasper, AL Jesus said: "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me" (John 12:32) No person has ever had the influence upon the lives of so many people for such a long period of time like Jesus Christ. A seer has said: "Twenty centuries have come and gone, and today He is the central figure of the human race and the leader of mankind's progress. All the armies that ever marched, all the navies that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat, all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man on this earth as this one solitary life." Why is this so wonderfully true? Surely not because of ancestral, political, or social prestige. Despite the fact that Jesus was the foster son of a lowly carpenter in despised Nazareth, though there was no room for Him in the inn, and though the first cries of this newborn infant was heard only by His parents and the stable animals, and despite the statement of the scriptures that He "hath not where to lay His head," still our Lord is the attraction of the ages. What was the amazing reason for the attractiveness of our Lord. What magnetic drawing power did He possess? How did He by his tragic death on Calvary know that He would draw all men
unto Himself? What other marvelous qualities did this meek, kind, compassionate, and lovable man of Galilee have that so pulled mankind away from sin and worldly things, and prompted them to rise up and follow Him. Jesus is attractive because of the things He said. His teaching was so different, so revolutionary, so extraordinary, that even those sent to arrest Him, said of Him: "Never man spake like this man" (John 7:46). Jesus is attractive because of the things He did. His supernatural feats, miracles, and wisdom have attracted and continue to hold man in perpetual wonder. Never man performed the works that Jesus did. Jesus is attractive because of His actions toward others. He wept with the sorrowing, rejoiced in the happy society of His day, prayed for His enemies, and healed the sick and suffering. Such marvelous actions had never been so fully demonstrated before. Jesus is attractive because of His perfect life. The attractiveness of Jesus-what a subject! WOT
January 2009
"... WHOSE WIFE SHALL SHE BE OF THE SEVEN" Jesus is Rabbi (John 3:2), the Master Teacher (Matthew 19:16), the teachers' teacher. No man spoke as he spoke or taught as he taught (Matthew 7:28-29). On numerous occasions his foes sought to ensnare Jesus in his own words (see Matthew 16:1; 19:3; 22:35; Mark 12:13; John 8:6), but his masterful use of logic and reasoning left his detractors unable to answer (Matthew 22:46). It is in the course of one of these "trials" that the question in the title is posed (Matthew 22:28). Initially, the Pharisees and the Herodians (more a political sect than a religious one) came to Jesus with the intent to trap Jesus in his words. They, therefore, posed a question regarding the paying of tribute to Caesar (Matthew 22:17). The answer of Jesus astonished many to the point that they simply went away, unable to confound the Master Teacher (Matthew 22:22). The same day the Sadducees approached Jesus with the hopes of entangling him in his teaching (Matthew 23:23). The Sadducees were a religious sect which stood in opposition to the Pharisees. While smaller in number than the Pharisees, many of the aristocracy belonged to the sect of the Sadducees. Their primary contentions were that the written law of Moses was the only law to guide Israel (the Pharisees asserted and taught that oral tradition was just as binding as the Law), and that there is no resurrection of the dead. This latter doctrine also caused the Sadducees to reject the idea of angels and spirits, as well as the idea of future reward or punishment. The question posed by the Sadducees on this occasion was based on the duty of a brother to raise up seed to continue the seed-line of his departed brother (Deuteronomy 25:5-10; read also Ruth 4:1-12). The Law of Moses required that the brother next to the deceased brother take his former sister-in-law as his own wife. The first child born to this union was to take the name of the deceased brother, so that his line might continue. Should the kinsman refuse to accept this responsibility, it was to be made known unto all that are in the city in a public display (Deuteronomy 25:8-10). Based upon this law of the redeemer-kinsman, the Sadducees then pose their query to Jesus. Suppose a man took a wife, and died before being able to bring children into their union. His brother accepted his responsibility according to the
law, taking his brother's wife as his own, but also died before being able to raise up seed to continue his brother's line. This scenario is repeated until all seven brothers have taken this woman to wife, but failed to bring children into the marriage. The question is then posed to Jesus, "In the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven?" (Matthew 22:28). The response of Jesus to their inquiry is both pointed and to the point, a display of masterful logic, taking advantage of the opportunity to teach even beyond the direct answer to their question. Jesus responds to their question, "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God" (Matthew 22:29). The Sadducees showed great ignorance of the Scriptures, both in their misunderstanding of the resurrection and in their error regarding the nature of marriage as it pertains to life beyond this earthly existence. Marriage was designed by the Almighty in order that man might be complete—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It must be remembered that as God surveyed His handiwork before the creation of woman, He acknowledged that it was "good" (Genesis 1:25). But upon realizing that it was "not good that the man should be alone" (Genesis 2:18), God created a helper suitable for man, and His assessment of the creation was upgraded to "very good" (Genesis 1:31). While marriage serves to make man whole in so many ways, it is intended primarily to serve as a means whereby man might enjoy companionship (Genesis 2:20) and sexual fulfillment (Genesis 2:24), and procreate (Genesis 1:28) in a Divinely-approved manner (Hebrews 13:4). God also designed the marriage relationship to be binding until death (Romans 7:14). Death severs this most tender and sacred of human relationships, thus showing that marriage is not intended to continue throughout eternity. In heaven, wherein flesh and blood shall not enter (1 Corinthians 15:50), the purposes accomplished in marriage will no longer be present or necessary. From the resurrection onward, man will neither marry or give in marriage, but will be as the angels (Matthew 22:30). So far as it can be determined from Scripture, angels are asexual beings, and being completely spiritual in their makeup, have no
January 2009
need for, nor do they desire, the fulfillment of physical longings. It is not to be understood that man becomes an angel after death, but is merely likened to the angels in this regard of the marriage relationship as it pertains to life hereafter. As touching the resurrection, the Sadducees displayed the same ignorance as they had regarding marriage. It is said that the Sadducees denied the resurrection because it is not explicitly stated in the Pentateuch. Jesus addresses their gross misunderstanding of the resurrection, as he quotes from Exodus 3:6 to show that though Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had long been dead, God speaks of them in the present state of being ("I am the God of Abraham…," not, "I was the God of Abraham…"). Herein was sufficient proof, even from their own Pentateuch, that the Old Testament patriarchs were familiar with and believed in the resurrection of the dead. Hebrews 11 certainly reveals that the great champions of the Israelites looked with great hope and anticipation to the resurrection of the dead: Abraham was convinced that God would resurrect Isaac when he was called upon to take the life of his son (Hebrews 11:19), and many others suffered for their faith knowing that they would obtain a better resurrection (Hebrews 11:35). Job posed the question, "If a man die, shall he live again?" (Job 14:14). His trust in the power and the goodness of God led him to conclude, "And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God" (Job 19:26). Daniel also believed in the resurrection at the last day: "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt" (Daniel 12:2). Isaiah touches on the resurrection when he states, "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise" (Isaiah 26:19). David longed for the hope of the resurrection, and the joy that would accompany his reunion with the son born to the illicit relationship between him and Bathsheba. After praying and grieving for the sick child, David cleansed himself and worshipped God at the news of the death of his child. When questioned by his servants as to why he would pray and weep while the child lived, yet not do so when the child died (2 Samuel 12:21), David replied, "But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me" (2 Samuel 12:23). No, the resurrection was not simply a New Testament concept. It was clearly something for which the men and women of faith longed and into which they placed their hope. What a miserable existence for the Sadducees, and for all those who live life without the hope of life beyond this life: "If in
this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable" (1 Corinthians 15:19)! WOT

A FORMER MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST Brandon Britton, Pulaski, TN Recently a friend of mine read me some of the saddest and most terrifying words I have ever heard. The words were from an obituary for a funeral he was about to preach. The obituary told of a woman who lived an active, good life. She had a loving family and a good job, but it was the closing statement that cast a shadow over the summary of her life. "She was a former member of the church of Christ." If a person understands that salvation is in the church/body of Christ (Ephesians 1:22-23; 5:23), there are no more tragic words. I was immediately reminded of the words of Jesus when He said, "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:26). I could not help but think of the time when, "many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him" (John 6:66) after He had done so much for them. Obviously heartbroken at the departure of so many former disciples He turned to the apostles and asked, "Will ye also go away?", to which Peter replied, "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life" (John 6:67-68). Therein lies the tragedy of the statement "a former member of the church of Christ." When one goes away from the Lord, there is nowhere else to turn for eternal life and they forfeit the only way to heaven (John 14:6). I do not profess to know the reason this lady was a "former" member of the church of Christ. It may be that she joined a man-made church, a denomination. It may be that she abandoned her faith and left the church. Regardless of the reason, the word "former" says it all. Perhaps the greatest tragedy is that this is not an isolated incident. This woman is just one of many throughout the centuries who have fallen away. I have no doubt that we can all recall those in the congregations we attend who have left their first love. The Lord and His inspired preachers warned of the danger of leaving Him and rebuked those who had. "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins...Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the
blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"(Hebrews 10:25,26,29). "For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world" (2 Timothy 4:10). While admittedly I cannot pass judgment on how or why this person became a former member of the church of Christ, I feel confident in saying that it was likely a gradual drifting, rather than an abrupt turning away. The Bible warns us, "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip" (Hebrews 2:1). The American Standard Version translates the last part of that passage, "lest haply they should drift away." I have yet to meet a single Christian who woke up one day and just decided on the spot to abandon his faith. I have, however, met dozens who little by little began drifting farther and farther from the Lord, only to finally abandon their faith altogether. If all of the former members of the church of Christ were to return this Sunday our buildings could not hold them. Please do not let your obituary say you "were a former member of the church of Christ," but a "faithful member." WOT

MORE THAN "THOU SHALT NOT" Tyler Young, Roanoke, TX On a sign outside a Bastini Café in Bombay, India, were the following words: Sorry: No talking to cashier. No smoking. No fighting. No credit. No outside food. No sitting long. No talking loud. No spitting. No bargaining. No water to outsiders. No change. No telephone. No match sticks. No discussing gambling. No newspaper. No combing. No beef. No leg on chair. No hard liquor allowed. No address enquiry. Upon encountering this catalog of prohibitions, a patron might wonder exactly what he could do in the café. It might have saved the owner time and space had he merely listed the few things that are permitted in his establishment. After all, a long list of negatives is not exactly inviting to passersby. It is unfortunate that some view the religion of Christ as just that: a checklist of "Thou shalt nots," a restrictive code prohibiting this, condemning that. Equally regrettable is that a lack of balance in preaching and teaching may have given some that same impression. Especially can this be true when working with young people or new converts. Anxious to admonish their worldliness, we put up a sign before them: "No dancing; no smoking; no drinking; no cussing; no fornicating; no short shorts; no mixed swimming;" on and on the list seems to go. In our zeal to move them to holiness, we may leave them to wonder, "Is this all there is to being a Christian?" Of course we need to condemn sin. Woe to those among us who accommodate our postmodern, New Age culture in which people want a made-to-fit religion of "relationship, not rules." More and more we encounter those who want all the benefits of following Jesus without actually having to follow him; they seek the comfort of Christ while shunning what they perceive to be all of those cumbersome commands. Brethren who cater to this ungodly spirit by soft-peddling the gospel are a disgrace to the name of Christ. As distasteful as it sounds to some, being in a right relationship with God requires keeping certain rules. If we disdain "commandment-keeping religion," we disdain the Lord himself, who said, "If you love me, you will
keep my commandments" (John 14:15). Scripture does contain lists of "thou shalt nots" (Rom. 1:18ff; 1 Cor. 6:9ff; Gal. 5:19ff; Eph. 5:3ff; et al), the most famous of which thundered from Sinai and was engraved on tablets of stone in the long ago (Exo. 20:1ff). Our God is a commandment-giving God, and our preaching is not pleasing to him if we are not firmly, forthrightly, and frequently informing people that when it comes to sin, "they that practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (Gal. 5:21). Our point here, however, is that as essential as it is to obey the word of God, we have missed the heart of the gospel if we emphasize only the "Thou-shalt nots" of God's word and leave the impression we believe we are justified by a legalistic and boastful pride in abstaining from this evil or avoiding that error. Zeal for keeping the law is commendable and necessary, but we must remember that we fail to do so perfectly, which is why we need the grace God has extended to us through the atonement of his Son. We dare not denigrate keeping commands, but neither should we forget that there is much, much more to the kingdom of God. As we expose sin, let us show with equal emphasis the joys and privileges of being the children of God. Jesus demanded repentance ("Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish," Luke 13:3) and offered blessings ("Come unto me...and I will give you rest," Mat. 11:28). Has he not "granted to us his precious and exceeding great promises" (2 Pet. 1:4)? Then let us say so. After all, we will be more inclined to strive to abide by that list of things we are not supposed to do if we see next to it that list of things—peace, forgiveness, hope, help and more—our gracious God sacrificed his Son to give us.

GENESIS 3: TOPICS TO STUDY Adam Faughn, Nashville, TN After the wonderful and beautiful account of creation in Genesis 1, we are told the creation account again in chapter 2 from a slightly different perspective. Emphasis is given to man and his relationship with God. This paves the way for the sad turn of events found in chapter 3. Often called "The Fall of Man," Genesis 3 teaches us much about Satan, man, sin, God, and many other subjects.
In this article, I will suggest several topics of study that come from this sad chapter. Please take these topics and study them on your own. 1. Satan is the enemy (v. 1). Satan, in the form of a serpent, enters the Garden of Eden and immediately tempts Eve (and Adam, who was with her). While Satan makes certain things seem good and pleasing, we need to remember that he is not on our side; in fact, he never will be. Peter gives us these explicit words: "Be sober, be vigilant; your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour" (First Peter 5:8, emphasis added). 2. Shadiness of deceit (vv. 2-5). God had given the command to avoid eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil with the sobering promise, "In the day that you eat of it you shall surely die" (2:17). Satan was able to use his intelligence to take what God said and change it just enough for Adam and Eve to believe his words. Deception is often hard to detect, but we must continue to have our minds ready for Satan's schemes. 3. Shamefulness of disobedience (vv. 6-7). Once Adam and Eve sinned, they were aware of their nakedness, and they were ashamed. May I make an obvious, but often overlooked statement? Sin should be shameful! We often think of "large" sins (adultery, embezzlement, etc.) as shameful, but we may have a "pet" sin that we don't think is so terrible. Friend, when we sin, it should cause us shame! God has put a conscience within us to pain us when we sin. Cultivate that conscience for good, not for allowance of sin. 4. Seeking nature of God (vv. 8-9). God didn't ask Adam and Eve "Where are you?" for His own information. God knows all. God asked the question for Adam and Eve's benefit. It is worth noting, though, that God sought out Adam and Eve, even in this moment of sin.
While we have work to do to obtain forgiveness, God desires our repentance. He is a seeking God. Shifting the blame (vv. 10-13). Eve attempts to place the blame for her actions on the serpent, while Adam tries to place the blame on Eve, and then on God for creating the woman! We live in a society that tells us to blame anyone but ourselves. If you can't find another person to blame, just blame the overall society. "It's got to be someone else's fault," is the mantra of the day. We need to learn to take responsibility for our own actions, and we need to learn to admit when something is our own fault. Superiority of God (v. 14). If you were casually reading this chapter, you would think that Satan is in control…until you come to verse 14. From that point on, it is obvious that God is the One who is ultimately in control of this account, and of all history. God is powerful enough to curse the serpent, which only gives us a glimpse of His supreme nature. It should be reassuring to the Christian to know that God is more powerful than Satan; God is superior. Supreme promise of hope (v. 15). Verse 15 is the first small glimmer of light that will ultimately come to full consummation in the Messiah—Jesus. While dim at this point, those of us who know the whole story of redemption come often to this verse as a supreme promise, since it is the first. Christ uttered, "It is finished!" just prior to dying on the cross. One of the "finished" things was the promise given in Genesis 3:15. Though His death and subsequent resurrection, Jesus crushed the head of Satan. Christ has already won the war! Sobering nature of punishment (vv. 16-19). Punishment is never fun, but it is necessary. As a loving parent will punish an unruly child, so the loving God must punish disobedience. God required certain things of Adam and Eve for their sins, but it is worth remembering that neither got what they truly deserved. Whenever we sin, we deserve to the thrown into hell immediately, but God's steadfast love is there for us. He will and does punish, but He also still has mercy on us. Supplying nature of God (vv. 20-21). Though He punished Adam and Eve, God still gave them what
January 2009
they needed at this point. He provided for this couple the comfortable and lasting clothes they would need in their new life of hard labor and pain. God continues to give gifts to us daily, though we deserve none of them. From the air we breathe to the food we eat to our health, God grants us so many gifts we cannot count them all. Be thankful to Him that He supplies abundantly. 10. Separation caused by sin (vv. 22-24). From this first sin, we get a picture of how seriously God takes sin. Isaiah would later say that our sins separate us from God (59:1-2). Adam and Eve were literally driven from the paradise they knew as home. While God is ever near, when we sin, we place a barrier between ourselves and our Creator. Sin is serious and, left unrepented of, will cause the ultimate separation. While Adam and Eve were driven from the Tree of Life, we can be drawn closer to it by obedience to our Father. May we daily strive to follow Him and avoid Satan and his schemes. Let us learn from this sad chapter in man's history.

ASK A BIBLE QUESTION QUESTION: Please explain the meaning of the phrase "begat he us by the word of truth" found in James 1:18. ANSWER: The word "begat" is the same as "born again" in John 3:3. It speaks of the new birth. This new birth is "by the word of truth." The word "word" is the same that John used (John 1:1) to introduce Jesus Christ as being one with God and yet separate. The Word was God, but at the same time He was a separate and distinct personality from God. He was the One who became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). He is the Second Person of the Trinity, the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom God regenerates, re-creates the human heart and instills in it the divine nature (Acts 4:12; 1 Tim. 2:5; 2 Pet. 1:4). Therefore, the simplest meaning of the word "Word" is "expression." It is the articulate sound which comes from the mouth of man to make known what is in his mind. It is the declaration of something; it is preaching. It is the preaching of the Word, the preaching of Christ. Read Romans 10:1315. However, not every proclamation today is a pronouncement of truth. Some of the preaching today is nothing more than fancy fables (2 Tim. 4:3-4). James 1:18 declares that the instrumentality of the new birth is the "word of truth," and the truth is Jesus (John 14:6). People are born again through the preaching of the truth, the Christ. The result of the new birth, of this re-creation of God is – we are "a kind of firstfruits of his creatures." In the OT the firstfruits of the harvest and the first-born belonged to God and the command was to offer them to Him. These firstfruits, therefore, were the unique possession of God. Among His entire creation Christians are uniquely His possession, for we were not only created by Him, but also re-created. —Mark N. Posey Decatur, AL

But, if it is, my little bro can help! That's right, he's a real life rocket scientist...well, actually aerospace engineer. He graduated from UT Texas in Dec. and finally got a job. He's headed out west to Las Cruces, New Mexico to work for some company that's contracted through NASA. I tend to think it's a cover up and he's working for the Government at Area 51. I'm really gonna miss him seeing as how I was pregnant/had a new baby the whole time he's been home. Haven't gotten to see him too much and now he's moving again.
Last night we went to one of our fave spots, Fuji, for a "See Ya Later" dinner. YUMMY!
My dad is so weird. He purposefully yawned as big as he could when I took this shot. And you wonder where I get it from.

Brewers outlast rain, CubsJun 16, 2011 - 5:22 AM
Casey McGehee, Corey Hart, Yuniesky Betancourt and Jonathan Lucroy each drove in two runs and Prince Fielder scored three times for the Brewers, who snapped a two-game skid. Chris Narveson (4-4) picked up the win, surrendering four runs on five hits with five strikeouts and three walks over 5 1/3 frames.
Reed Johnson drilled a three-run home run for Chicago, which saw its two-game winning streak come to an end. Carlos Zambrano (5-4) sat through a 1-hour, 42- minute rain delay only to give up five runs on nine hits with two walks and six strikeouts over six frames.
After the lengthy rain delay, the Cubs struck first in the bottom of the first with Jeff Baker's second home run of the season, a chin-high fastball tomahawked over the ivy wall in left-center field.
The Brewers were stymied under the fourth, as Ryan Braun doubled to start the proceedings then Fielder walked. After a force out off the bat of McGehee, Hart slapped a run-scoring single to right. Lucroy drove in a two-out run with a single to left, scoring McGehee from third.
Milwaukee added a three-spot in the fifth, and the damage began with two outs. Braun doubled to left in front of Fielder's intentional walk, as the Cubs decided to pitch to McGehee. He made them pay with a two-run double that rolled to the base of the ivy in center field. Hart followed with a run- scoring two-bagger for a 5-1 lead.
"Whenever they walk Prince, when he comes through with a big hit like that, it boosts his (McGehee's) confidence," said Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke.
The Cubs answered with three runs of their own in the home half of the frame. Back-to-back walks, the first to the pitcher Zambrano, set the stage for Johnson, who turned on an inside pitch, driving it into the last row of stands in left for a three-run shot and a 5-4 game.
The visitors didn't take their foot off the gas, adding to what had become a slim edge in the seventh and eighth frames. Yuniesky Betancourt's two-out single to center plated Braun and Fielder in the seventh then Weeks slammed a solo home run onto Waveland Avenue out of the ballpark in left during the eighth.
DJ LeMahieu's single plated Blake DeWitt in the home eighth, but Milwaukee again built a four-run edge in the top of the ninth on Lucroy's sacrifice fly.

Soccer's global appeal has few analogues.

In The Ball Is Round: A Global History of Soccer, David Goldblatt argues that the sport has become "our collective metaphor,"

Unable To Stop Usage Subscription When Future Dated Factor Override Exists
Last updated on MAY 09, 2014
Applies to:Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management - Version 126.96.36.199 to 220.127.116.11 [Release 2.1]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Factor Overrides can be added to a Usage Subscription, with a Start Date/Time in the future. If the US is stopped before this Factor Override Start Date/Time, MDM will throw various errors around the fact that the US stop date can't be before the Factor Override start date.
- In MDM, if you have a Factor Override with start date = 5/1/2014, and set the US end date to 4/15/2014, the system will throw 11802/10914 (Factor Override Start Date/Time cannot be later than the current Usage Subscription's End Date/Time)
- In MDM, if you simply set the Factor Override end date < start date (to match the US end date), the system will throw 11801/11708 (If populated, the End Date/Time on Usage Subscription/Factor Override cannot be earlier than its Start Date/Time)
If you setup an active V from CCB and sync everything over, then add a future dated Factor Override, then stop the SA with a end date < Factor Override start date, the sync request will fail with 11802/10914.

Discussion in 'OGF Kitchen' started by PoleSnatcher, Jan 31, 2005.
Mushroom season is right around the bend, let's hear them recipies
Mine is easy. Take some flour, add some salt, pepper, ground ginger, and a little seasoning salt. Put this in a tupperwear container with the lid on. Add shrooms, and tumle around with your finger tips to coat the shrooms. Fry them in about a half inch of hot canola oil until they feel firm. Salt and pepper as soon as they are removed from the oil.
There is only one way, roll in Grandpa Tims and deep fry!! I like to have a big cheeseburger and top with fried shrooms! YUM
...beer batter deep dried in peanut oil...
There is only one way, roll in Grandpa Tims and deep fry!! I like to have a big cheeseburger and top with fried shrooms! YUM
outside of deep frying them my favorite way to fix them is on top of homemade pizza.white shrooms,red bell pepper and sweet italian sausage.
now i'm hungry!
hopefully i'll do alot better in michigan this year.last year was kind of disappointing and i didn't have any in the freezer for the ohio state games.but it's hard to be completely disappointed when you're camping out in the sticks and spending time in the woods.
Last year was not that good for me I ate what I picked and did not save any...
didn't get many last year. a couple of years ago I tore 'em. I took them to a local auction and in three weeks made over $800 selling them. Not bad for a couple hours walk in the woods once a week. Looking forward to this year.
I use to take them to Middlefield Auctions but work 1st shift now so can't anymore... Is that where you went?
Take your morels,rince them under water,then put them in a salad spinner (this will shake all the dirt and stuff off).
Quick morels.
1cup. flower
1cup. corn meal
salt & pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
add one or 2 eggs to some milk in a bowl, and mix all dry ingredients in a wide bowl or pie pan. put them in the egg then in the flower mix, fry them in oil with a cast iron skillet.cook until golden brown.
quick ez there ya go.
allmost time guys
Rolled in flour and fried in Land O' Lakes butter! Or no flour and fried till crispy in same butter. Then don't discard the leftover in the skillet, fry some country style sausage in the drippings, when sausage is done add 1/4 C. flour.
Stir around to coat meat then add 1C. milk and 1 or 2C. water. Bring to a boil and it will thicken (stir as it starts to boil) and be some real good sausage gravy. Gotta add some black pepper not too much.
Glad I have a few jars of canned morels left from 2003. Last year did not find enough to can any.
Hey man that sounds like some good stuff, I'll stop by for breakfast on my way to work tomorrow. Hope 5:00 am is not too early.
Sure thing 5 Am just fine.
these sound good

Director Kevin Moore
Cast Dana DeArmond, Eva Karera, Katja Kassin, Krissy Lynn, Nat Turnher, Lexington Steele, Sean Michaels, Prince Yashua. Non-sex: Filthy Rich, Jeremy Conway, Chad Diamond, Adam Wood.
Dates of Production 3, 4, 5, 9 November 2012
Extras Nothing special: cumshot recap; trailers for Babysitter Diaries 9, Girlfriends Get Even 3 and Mom's Cuckold 10; stills gallery. The only segment I would assign value to is the stills gallery, if you want some glamour shots of the ladies, no action shots.
A/V Shot in HD. Dolby Digital audio is typical porn quality. If it's loud enough to hear the pre-game banter, it's loud enough for apartment dwelling neighbors to know you're watching porn. So, turn it down, you won't miss much.
Condoms None
Preview Mile High Media presents Mom's Cuckold 11 via its Reality Junkies imprint. Experienced performer/director Kevin Moore calls the shots. Three of the four previous entries reviewed by XCritic were well received. MC 11 is chock full of big-name stars; I'm familiar with Dana, mostly from her girl-girl work, and have seen Katja in a lot of fetish material. The male talent represents a who's-who of Black woodmen. With a pretty good cast and a solid production company, I expect decent-if-not-better action, and am only curious about who will take what where, and how the fetish in question will be explored.
The cuckold fetish is a complicated one, incorporating three parties, only two of whom have contact. The Mom's Cuckold series adds an interracial element. It's a situation I could never see myself in, but I believe it is popular, based on first-hand accounts from two friends. Reality Junkies is a web-based outlet, with each of the scenes being released online and even the DVD box having a web-page feel. Non-sex cast info from IAFD.
Dana's Hole In One When Dana's husband brags about his golf game, Dana shows him that the Caddy really gets the prize. Dana DeArmond is far and away the best actress in the cast, for whatever that's worth. Nat Turner plays the caddy, and turns in a performance you would expect. Dana was constantly berating her husband for being an asshole, and failing to satisfy her sexually. I liked seeing the rev-CG and doggystyle action the most. The scene ended with a sloppy facial and the hubby in need of counseling.
Eva's Secret Eva's husband can't control himself when he sees her in sexy lingerie, so Eva calls a friend with some better self-control. Eva Karera has a similar look to Dana, but she's a little taller and the man-made DDs drew most of my attention. She was less talkative than Dana, which didn't bother me one bit, as a) her accent threw me off, and b) Lex added some banter for the humiliated hubby. In this scene, the cuck humiliated himself by sucking Eva's high heel, while she was reamed. Scene 2 was a bit of a let-down due to Dana's great turn before. If Lex's grunting and groaning annoy, you might want to skip the tit pop that ends things. For those who enjoy this piece, Lex features Eva, and anal, in his recent Lex Is a Mother Fucker.
Bossy Katja convinces her husband to ask the boss for a raise, but she decides to raise something on the boss instead. Here cums another Euro-slut. Katja Kassin is a good pick for this kind of flick. I am most familiar with her fetish work; she can be quite the bossy bitch. Katja is another talkative one. Sean Michaels overplays the acting, as usual, but the action is strong. There is male on female oral, and rimming, that wasn't in the previous scenes. I was disappointed there was no anal penetration, but as for the vag, Katja took more of Micheal's meat than either of the girls in the prior vignettes. Nasty Katja took the pop in her mouth and blew cum bubbles before swallowing the load.
Package For Krissy Krissy's husband is ordering erection pills online, but all Krissy needs is the package in the delivery guy's pants. So, it starts out funny, because the guy pulls out his credit card to order the pills, and I'm thinking, "He has a Chase Visa just like mine." Talk about same-day delivery. One minute, Adam Wood is ordering, the next minute, Krissy Lynn is opening the door for the package of her dreams. This was not one of those scenes where the best was saved for last. Krissy is a thicker bodied blonde, like Katja from the previous scene, and she was ready to take all Prince Yashua had to offer. The best visuals were the doggy-style action when she made sure tiny hubby saw it all. Facial pop.
Final Thoughts Successful concept porn. While this is not neccesarily my preferred niche, I can still recognize the merits of a better-than-average nudie movie. The perspective of the woman was the focal point here, so for any ladies who are yearning for more than they get at home, this is a sure winner. The brunette, brunette, blonde, blonde sequencing suffered because the first ladies (Dana, Katja) were so much better than their predecessors. This title may appeal to certain couples, threesomes, or the solo fetishist, but I would caution the average porn fan to look to something less ??? In the end Mom's Cuckold 11 is Recommended, to anyone checking out something new, and a great pick for the fans of the kink it fulfills.
It's XCritic, not XShill!!

My Afternoon as a Diva
So, I was really looking forward to Divabetic at Paramount Studios yesterday. It was advertised as a day of education and fun for diabetics and those who love them. I guess that's what it was, but, unfortunately, I didn't learn much, and I didn't have a whole lot of fun either. It wasn't NOT fun; it just wasn't all that great.
I arrived at Paramount Studios about 10 minutes before the event was supposed to start. And then I drove around and around in the parking lot to find somewhere to park. Since the fan in my car is not working, I was not thrilled to be stuck in my car for 20 minutes in the heat.
Finally, I parked, and a nice parking lot attendant directed me to the tram oversized golf cart that would take me to sound stage 10 for the event. It was only about 2 buildings away, as it turns out, so I didn't have to accept the ride anyway. I checked in and received my "maze map." I was told that I needed to visit all 6 education stations and fill out the survey on the back of the map in order to receive my gift bag as I left the event.
As I entered the building, I discovered that it was packed and LOUD. Right at the entrance, there was a line for the American Diabetes Association. The make-up tables were along the wall to my right, and people had already filled all of the chairs. In fact, the entire place was so crowded that it was difficult to get anywhere. A woman to my left beckoned me to her booth. "What are you doing over here?" I asked. "Blood pressure," she answered. "I have my blood pressure checked regularly," I answered. "And it's very good." "OK," she answered, without telling me that her booth held more than that.
I snagged a Pellegrino from the drink booth and finally got my bearings. I headed for one of the education stations and stood in line for a VERY long time to talk to a diabetes educator. At least . . . I think she was a diabetes educator; I'm actually not really sure. Anyway, the rest of the day was more of the same--standing in lines for education booths and talking to people whose credentials I wasn't really sure of.
The worst booth was the "Glam More, Fear Less" station. We were supposed to learn about pedicures and buying the perfect "little black dress." The speaker was horrible! And she offended me when she totally got my body type wrong. Honestly! Plus, she was wearing a too-tight dress that did not flatter her AT ALL!
There was free food, but I didn't get much of anything. The servers with the trays never seemed to come near me. Oh well. I managed to get a hand massage from someone. She didn't do a good job of telling me the name of her product, other than it's sold at CVS. I did not get a make-over or a manicure, both of which I had hoped for. But the lines were way too long. That was my biggest disappointment. My other disappointment was that I really didn't learn anything that I didn't know beforehand. I did manage to get my free gift bag, which had a lot of stuff to read, a few samples of cosmetics and stuff, and a cookbook. The backpack itself is pretty nice, and I may use that more than once.
Overall, I'll have to say that Divabetic was a disappointment, and I don't plan on attending another one of their events anytime soon.

Hey, I don't have one!
My first (and abiding) question is: why do they think someone who calls herself Lucy Melford would have a penis?
Actually, looking closely at the latest batch of these emails, I see that I am addressed as 'Lucymelford' - as in my email address - and not as 'Lucy Melford'. Therein may lie a clue as to why I have been chosen as a recipient for these annoying messages. In other words, had my email address not been firstname.lastname@example.com but firstname.lastname@example.com, I would be left alone. I'm thinking that any email address that contains a proper name is assumed either to belong to someone with a penis, or to person in close contact with someone who has. So one's apparent gender does not matter.
Thus, even if the email shot is misplaced, and cannot be of interest to the email account holder, the thinking might be that he or she will very likely have a friend or lover cursed with a stunted willy, and obsessed by the fact. You can imagine the hoped-for conversation:
Lucy (to an obsessed male friend): What's up? You seem a bit deflated tonight.
Male friend (glumly): And no wonder! Cursed with a tiny tadger!
Lucy: Be of good cheer. I have just heard from Othilie Q. Trippany, who has emailed me, offering viagra so cheap he's practically giving it away. He claims it will turn your little chappie into an Incredible Hulk.
Male friend: How do you know this is a serious offer?
Lucy: Because I've recently had dozens of identical emails from sundry public-spirited persons such as Gipsy Shebby, Ilysa Arnspiger, Fayette J. Siske, Pamela A. Agnew, Mrs Carmon Breakfield, Dr Maxman, Lillie Rosencrans, Thalia Polfer, and Marianna L. Liffick, all recommending the same Viagra 25 100mg pills, and all saying the same thing about their amazing efficacy. So many people! All saying exactly the same thing! It must indicate that this is a Good Thing, not to be missed.
Male friend: But some of those names sound made up!
Lucy: Well, you know, you could say the same for Lucy Melford...
Male friend: True, true.
And by degrees it is hoped that my presumed male friend will make contact and place an order.
But in fact they face impossible odds. I don't have a penis. There is nobody in my life who possesses an example of the relevant member, and wants to use it as a man would, and is so desperately worried about its size and performance that they would even consider responding to such a message. I do have a strange mental disease that forces me to scorn such messages, and delete them at once.
But the machines haven't yet realised that I never place an order, that I never respond. And in their ignorance they just keep trying.
At least Gmail has (so far) correctly identified all such emails as spam, and has popped them in the Spam Box, for mass destruction as soon as I give the word. But I resent having to see them in the first place. Why can't I just block them, like I can set up my mobile phone to block all callers with (say) an 08- or 09- number? If I could, I'd block all emails containing the word 'penis', or variants thereof, for starters.
Some blocking tools, please, Gmail.
Two final thoughts.
One, it's a terribly sad thing that so many men have a neurosis about their penis size. Or that this is generally believed to be the case (otherwise nobody would be pushing these buy-viagra messages, and expecting a worthwhile response).
Two, that a good many of the emails seem to come from Canada, or at any rate suggest that they do. I can't decide whether this is because there is something about the drugs regime in Canada that makes it a good place to sell from, or whether 'Canada' is a premium selling point, in the sense that 'This product is of course of the very best quality, because it comes from Canada'.
Instant sequel
Switching to my Gmail account after writing this post, I saw that I could set up a filter to delete (at once) any email received that contained the word 'penis' or 'p.e.n.i.s.' (which is the usual variant used by people touting viagra). It won't even reach the Spam Box. So that's now done.
Anyone emailing me had better take note that if they need to refer to male members, there are now two words they must avoid!

I would suggest changing your name to Halle. I have a gmail address for the folk who still know the old guy in the old guy name and there is lots of penis enlargement adverts (mostly from the UK I expect) but for me, none. In fact no spam!ReplyDelete
Magic :-)
I did wonder, Halle, whether these emails have been unleashed on me by GenderTrender, who I (unwisely) taunted early last year. But that is surely far-fetched.ReplyDelete
The Email shots are shots in the dark Lucy. They are a bit like unwanted phone calls. A computer just dishes them out to all and sundry without checking the details of the email addresses. Email providers should enable spam filtering and I'm sure they do. With my main Email provider (AOL) I can add each offending senders Email address to the spam filter and subsequent mails are then automatically placed in spam and not my inbox. You are right about Canada being in the thick of things and one of the addresses from there is very persistent in sending out this trash, Medica Pharma, I'm sure you've had mails from them. One day hopefully all these mails will cease to be sent, until then we have to deal with them as best we can.ReplyDelete

Whether your email address includes a name or not makes no difference - the spammers just collect them by the thousand and never read them. What's probably happened is that someone who has your address has been careless and picked up a virus that sent their address book to the spammers. One of my email addresses has been found by the Penis Enlargement brigade, but my other two are spam free at the moment.ReplyDelete
Unfortunately, blocking email addresses has little effect as the blighters who spam me use a different one every time. They also have multiple ways of writing penis - P_E N I*S, P E_N_I-S, etc. Blocking all emails with 'Canadian' did, however, improve things greatly.
Ah, thanks, Angie. I will try 'Canadian' if the penis emails get through. None has for nearly 24 hours.ReplyDelete
This blog is public, and I expect comments from many sources and points of view. They will be welcome if sincere, well-expressed and add something worthwhile to the post. If not, they face removal.
Ideally I want to hear from bloggers, who, like myself, are knowable as real people and can be contacted. Anyone whose identity is questionable or impossible to verify may have their comments removed. Commercially-inspired comments will certainly be deleted - I do not allow free advertising.
Whoever you are, if you wish to make a private comment, rather than a public one, then do consider emailing me - see my Blogger Profile for the address.

Sign language interpretingSign language interpreters are few and far between and you seldom encounter them, even though there are around 80,000 deaf people living in Germany who are dependent on sign language. Those who are not deaf probably encounter sign language interpreters most frequently on the television: The news is regularly interpreted on special events and documentary channels and is therefore an important institution for deaf people, allowing them to receive up-to-date information.
Through their work, these interpreters convey spoken information to deaf people, who would otherwise only receive this information with difficulty, if at all. The occasions for sign language interpreters are just as diverse as they are for interpreters for those who are not deaf: For example, they interpret at works meetings or general assemblies, in lectures or at public events. This allows deaf people attending these events to follow the speech without having to rely on lip-reading or similar alternatives. Conversely, if a deaf person wants to participate, the sign language interpreter interprets the sign language for those present who are not deaf and who are usually not proficient in sign language.
Incidentally, there is not "just one sign language": Depending on the (spoken) language, the country or the writing system used, the signs may differ from one another. Some sign languages also have dialects and therefore differ in the detail in a similar manner to spoken language. As the signs are similar in many sign languages, the mutual understanding between certain sign languages can be very good. In order to ensure understanding in an international context or at international events, the pidgin* language International Sign was developed, which allows people with different sign languages to understand one another.
It is likely that in the future, sign language interpreting will be exposed to an increased technological aspect when it comes to executing assignments. For example, sign language interpreting assignments via video-telephony are becoming increasingly common – in this situation, the interpreter and the deaf person are able to see one another via a screen in the telephone and through this screen, the interpreter directly translates what is said by the caller who is not deaf. This service is particularly common in the United States, where it is used primarily in the medical and legal sectors.
* Pidgin denotes a language comprising simplified grammatical elements of a more complex language with foreign-language influences.

A Daring Path into the Abundant Life
Mrs. Voskamp desires an abundant life in the God and shares how when one is broken-vulnerable, sharing one's weaknesses and struggles, new life in Him can begin.
Through stories from her own life, she bears her soul, her struggles, her fears.
**Her writing is poetic and dramatic so individuals who are more practical in personality may not enjoy this type of writing.
The copy I read was the library's but so often I wished it was my own copy so I could highlight profound sentences! Within a paragraph, there would be one sentence so penetrating that I wanted to hold onto it and preserve it. This book requires careful, meditative reading as the depth and lasting impact may be lost in less contemplative reading.
*Highly recommend for lovers of poetry and philosophy.
-Borrowed from the library.
Warning: (if read by teens-Mrs. Voskamp use to cut her self as a teenager and shares some details about this destructive behavior throughout the book.)
