I'm running this engine from the heat of a 70W light bulb in the video, but It also runs well from the heat of two candles. Using higher heat sources it puts out over 1.5 watts. I need to redesign the engine so that it can run faster than the current limit of about 240 rpm to achieve higher power.

CLECI Large Classroom
1900 Grant Street, Suite 300
Denver, CO 80203
2 CLE credits
Creative Solutions in the Legal Practice: Examples and Reactions from a Litigation Attorney, a Transactional Attorney, and a Judge
Attorneys often hear from clients that they want or need a creative solution to a problem. And younger attorneys, in turn, are asked the same from senior attorneys. What is creativity in the legal profession? Are there any limits to exercising creativity in the legal profession? How would clients or judges react to creative solutions or strategies? Through a panel discussion among a litigation attorney, a transactional attorney, and a judge, this presentation is designed to help younger attorneys think about and develop this counseling skill. The panelists will explore the topic through the use of case studies based on their experience in practice.
To register and learn more about this seminar, visit the Colorado Bar Association website.
The mission of the Colorado Bar Association is to improve the quality of its members' legal practice, to support and improve the justice system, and to support the community through voluntary and educational endeavors.

Microsoft is Killing my Productivity – part 3
More? Yes more.
Vista and the UAC thing. No I'm not going to complain about what you think. I don't mind a mode that asks me if I really clicked that button. I can turn it off, which I've naturally done. No the thing is that Microsoft has no brain in their organization, and if they do, that person is locked away somewhere.
Here's why:The security issues we all face are really viruses and root-kits, etc. These are code that affects Windows. So did the security items addressed in Vista change Windows? No! Not in several important ways. But what they did was screw around with you the user, your files and your application's files.
See applications have data. You like a green background? It needs to store that. Maybe you write a macro. It might want to store that. So in some cases applications would reasonably store some of those settings in a local folder with the application. Now, Microsoft says, "Oh no, you are not allowed to do that!" You have an "Application Data folder, and we'll not tell you where it is." They do not protect users, nor improve quality of the experience with this attitude. It seems like it was designed to force users to buy new versions of their programs. It is a total crock of hypocritical nonsense.
Hypocritical? Microsoft mixes their own operating system with dlls from anything that's ever been installed. It's a folder called windows/system32. It's been a hodgepodge melting pot of code from all over your system, and there is not now nor ever has been a way to tell what comes from where, what's legit or not, and all of it is EXECUTABLE CODE. If Microsoft gave half a gray cell toward security, they would have protected the OPERATING SYSTEM from tampering with a 'Did you really do this?" UAC operation.
They didn't. But they did make all the decisions about the structure for YOUR files. You just got used to My Documents or simply C:\Documents and Settings\Brian\Documents…. etc.
Then they went and moved it around! Now you're in Users. Ok for the OS, but if you had the guts to attempt an Upgrade to Vista, it takes seemingly years to run – because it is moving all your files whether you want that or not. And it doesn't tell you. There's no option. It's not for security – the folders work the same. It's just an ego trip for some committee at Microsoft. If they really cared, they'd shut down the OS from tampering and leave the rest of the computer for it's owner.
As Office, Vista, Visual Studio and Internet Explorer all have horrible issues making them virtually unusable, I'm wondering how long it will be for a competitor to take them to task.

New brain cells linked to cannabinoid signalling machineryMarch 27th, 2008 - 4:37 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Mar 27 (ANI): In a new study, researchers have found that its not only neurons in the brain that are sensitive to cannabinoidsthe active chemicals in marijuana, but also cells known as astrocytes that provide neurons with support and nutrition and modulate signalling among them.
The finding, the researchers say, might help in the development of treatments for cannabinoid drug abuse.
The study was led by Marta Navarrete and Alfonso Araque, who said that as the so-called endocannabinoids produced by brain cells are involved in the neural machinery of pain perception and learning and memory, the findings could help in understanding those processes.
The researchers conducted their experiments with mouse brain slices in the pursuit to establish the role that cannabinoid receptors on astrocytes (which previous studies had indicated to exist) played in astrocyte function.
Receptors are proteins that rest in the membranes of cells and that are triggered by specific chemicals, like a key fitting a lock. That triggering activates a cellular response.
It was shown through the electrophysiological and imaging studies, that astrocytes do express endocannabinoid receptors that, when activated, produce a cellular response. They also found that neurons associated with the astrocytes release endocannabinoids that trigger an astrocyte response.
Lastly, the researchers also showed that this response in astrocytes can, in turn, activate neurons to release the neurotransmitter glutamate, which mediates signalling among neurons.
These results indicate that neurons and astrocytes communicate via endocannabinoid signaling and suggest the existence of intercellular communication pathways mediated by endocannabinoid-glutamate signaling where astrocytes serve as a bridge for interneuronal communication, concluded Navarrete and Araque.
The researchers also said that their findings identify astrocytes as cellular elements possibly involved in the physiology of cannabinoid addiction as well as potential targets for the treatment of cannabinoid-related drug abuse. Furthermore, considering the importance of the endocannabinoid-mediated intercellular signaling in numerous processes of the nervous system, such as pain perception or learning and memory, present findings indicate that astrocytes may be actively involved in relevant phenomena of brain physiology.
The findings of the study are published in the latest issue of the journal Neuron, published by Cell Press. (ANI)

How do you really attract success in life? What's the formula for having, doing, or being what you truly want? Long term friends who've watched me achieve success in several areas — writing, speaking, movies, music, fitness, and more — say my formula for attracting and achieving goals is easy to spot. Basically, it looks like this: 1. Set Intention 2. Hire Coaches 3. Clear Fears 4. Take Action 5. Persist That's it. And that formula will work for virtually any goal you want to achieve. Let me explain. Currently I'm deeply involved in the production of my fourth music album. This is fairly startling news, because less than two years ago I had never written a song, or sung a tune, or played more than a few chords on the guitar, or recorded with a band, and so on. Yet today I am recording my fourth album. In the studio with some legends of music — music producer Daniel Barrett, famous drummer who has played with legends such as Joe Walsh and Dan Fogelburg (and interestingly happens to have my name),bass player Glenn Fukunaga — everyone was .menting on how much my singing, guitar playing, and songwriting had improved. It wasn't an incremental improvement. It was a leap ahead. It was, in their words, dramatic. And a few days later, when "Guitar Monk" Mathew Dixon came into the studio to play guitar on one of my new songs, he stopped everything to say the words you long to hear. "I've been meaning to tell you something for a while now," he began. "I was going to put it in an email. Then I was going to tell you at a dinner. But it feels like now is the time to tell you." He then paused and said, "I'm proud of you." Tears welled up in my eyes. I wasn't thinking about those words, but when I heard them, I knew they were the words I longed to hear. Mathew went on to explain that he teaches lots of people, but not all do the work. He added, "You demonstrate what you teach. When you decided to be.e a musician, you gathered your support, you took action, and you stayed at it. Your life reveals the formula for success." I was pretty choked up to hear all of this. But I thought I would share it with you as the lesson is relevant. It reveals how YOU can achieve your goals. So don't think this formula is just for me. For example, legendary drummer Joe told us he practices playing the drums two hours a day. Two hours! Talk about taking massive action. Two hours every day!!! Think about that. Here's a man who has been playing for over four decades. He's a master at it. He's the drummer rock and roll legends call — from Neil Young to Joe Walsh to Sammy Hagar to you name it. Yet he continues to work on himself, stretch himself, stay sharp with constant action, and more. Joe's an inspiration to me. He knows the formula for success. Again, the formula looks like this: 1. Set Intention 2. Hire Coaches 3. Clear Fears 4. Take Action 5. Persist What do you want to achieve or attract? Take each one of those steps and do them. Here's how it looked when I used the steps for my music: 1. Set Intention. I decided to be.e a musician. It all begins when you declare what you want. 2. Hire coaches. I put together a team of mentors and coaches. To excel in any area, you virtually always need a guide. 3. Clear Fears. I had fears bubble up. Self-doubt, lack of faith, negativity. I relied on my coaches and my background in self-help to erase all the fears as they arose. The more you get clear, the faster you attract. 4. Take action. I took guitar and voice lessons, I attended a songwriting seminar (with Ray Wylie Hubbard and Kevin Welch), I hired a famous singer-songwriter (Lee Coulter), I bought books, I wrote songs, I practiced every day. 5. Persist. I continued to take action, rely on my coaches, clear fears, etc. As a direct result of using those five steps, I'm officially a musician with four — count 'em, four — albums to my credit. What do you want to achieve? The path is clear. Start doing the above steps today and tomorrow you may hear the words you long to hear. 相关的主题文章:

White Design provided design and construction advice during the relevant phases, whilst also fulfilling project and change management roles for the organisation. The design brief called for a wholly sustainable solution and this was considered at every stage both at a material level and at a management level. Materials, furniture and ICT equipment were interrogated thoroughly prior to selection and implementation, the interior designers were challenged both by White Design and Triodos Bank to ensure the details of each product could stand up to social and environmental scrutiny. Likewise Triodos' supply chain was selected based on their core principle and policies.
The bank occupies four floors in total with a welcoming street level entrance for customers, has a handmade reception desk and a living wall. The next two floors are private and secure areas for co-workers. Each floor plate has a beautifully designed kitchen with zip taps, recycling points and lockers. It is an open plan office with integrated meeting areas and private offices in parts, the wooden worktops add to the richness of the space and compliment the palette of materials used throughout.
The fourth floor is a centre piece for the building and is designed for the comfort and practicality. Formal and informal areas throughout the floor adds to the excitement of the space. This area is well used and is brings together the people that occupy the building.
The approach taken by Triodos Bank have helped to make their UK Headquarters a truly sustainable, people-centred and business-focused solution.

What is a merchant Acquirer?
The average Retailer wishes to accept credit and debit cards from a number of card schemes. A Merchant Acquirer is (normally) a bank who will provide the following services to the retailer.
- Provide a single interface to the scheme for all card related matters
- Card authorisations
- Recovering money from the card issuing bank
- Club card checks
- Pay all the scheme and issuer fees on behalf of the merchant
- Act as an intermediary in the event of card claims, returns and refunds.
Essentially the Merchant Acquirer acts like a large switch protecting the merchant from having to understand all the detail of all the different card schemes, (VISA, Maestro, etc, etc.). This is discussed in more detail below.
The sequence is roughly:
- A. The retailer passes the card through his POS terminal which then dials up the acquirer for an authorisation. The acquirer routes the authorisation request to the appropriate Scheme who in turn routes it to the appropriate issuer, in this case Ron's Card Issuer. The card issuer checks RON's card number against the database for available funds and finding there are enough funds available passes a unique authorisation number back to the Scheme computer. The card issuer also reduces the available funds on RON's account. Note the money may have gone as far as RON is concerned for payments, but not for interest calculation and certainly not out of the card issuer's bank account yet. The Scheme routes the authorisation request back to the acquirer computer who in turn routes it to the appropriate POS terminal. This all happens in seconds without human intervention.
- B. Every night the merchant acquirer sucks a file of transactions out of the retailer's POS terminal or system which consists of payments for a number of different Schemes including the one Ron's card subscribes to. The acquirer's computer then sorts out the transactions into piles for each Scheme. It combines the transactions for each Scheme with those from other retailers for that Scheme and sends a file of transactions to each Scheme. The Scheme computer then sorts out the incoming files of transactions into a pile for each issuer and sends the Scheme's transactions to the issuer.
- C. The card issuer's computer would take the file of Scheme transactions and
- check that the transactions have been applied and apply those that have not (e.g. if the retailer has floor limits then some transactions will not have been authorised by the card issuer's computer).
- change the status of the balances in the card holder's account to not having money available for interest (previously authorised transactions would not be available for payment but available for interest).
- calculate the bulk payment that needs to be made to the Scheme. This is essentially the sum of the value of the payments minus the interchange fee (which is the income that the card issuer earns as a Scheme issuer). This total is keyed into a bank's electronic banking terminal instructing the issuer's bank to transfer the amount payable to the Scheme's bank account.
The Scheme's computer works out the amount payable to each acquirer, again this is just the sum of all payments to be made to the acquirer less the interchange fee (the same fee the issuer keeps, i.e. no cut for the Scheme). Again the Scheme operator makes a series of real time payments corresponding to total of the day's transactions to each acquirer's bank.
Steps B and C take about 2 or 3 days to complete. Back on the first night the acquirer transfers to each retailer the total value of the transactions acquired that night.
Additionally the acquirer provides detailed information about the transactions acquired for the retailer to use, usually in the form of paper statements but also via web reports and electronic files in certain circumstances.
There are some important aspects of the core payment processing that have been omitted for simplicity, including
- Hot Card files
- Refunds
- Various error processes; invalid card number, unavailable funds, The card issuer's computer unavailable, acquirer and/or Scheme computer unavailable, POS terminal unavailable etc.
- Floor-limits
- International transactions
- Foreign exchange transactions (not the same as international because of Euro)
- ATM, cash and cash back transactions.

Research Project: 1895 India General Service Medal
The 1895 India General Service Medal was introduced as a replacement for its predecessor which had been introduced some 31 years earlier in 1854. It was felt that the older 1854 India General Service Medal, which by this time had acquired some 24 clasps, did not in some cases adequately represent the actual amount of active service that some officers and men had taken part in. Additionally given the number of clasp combinations possible the 1854 medal could simply become rather awkward to wear since the medal's ribbon would out of necessity have to be rather long to accommodate all the clasps some recipients were entitled too. (See the cabinet photo of Sir William Lockhart as an example of this. http://www.soldiersofthequeen.com/page13l-SirWilliamLockhart.html ).
Above: The 1895 India General Service Medal issued to No. 4890 Private Henry James Walker of the 1st Battalion, the Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment for service on India's North West Frontier in 1897-98.
This example of the 1895 India General Service Medal was presented to No. 4890 Private Henry James Walker of the 1st Battalion, the Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment and reflects his service on India's North West Frontier in the closing years of the 19th Century.
Henry James Walker was born around 1877 at Kennington, Lambeth, Surrey to Henry Walker, a smith/hammerman, and Maria Sarah Maides. His first experience with military life came when he attested with the 3rd Battalion (militia) of the Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment on 21 August 1895. He was 17 years, 9 months old at the time and a hammerman like his father. His stay with the 3rd Battalion was short since he attested with the regulars at the Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regimental Depot on 3 October 1895.
He was posted to the 1st Battalion on 7 January 1896 and then transferred to the 2nd Battalion on 13 October 1897 as part of a replacement draft being sent out to India where the battalion had been posted since 1884. His time within his battalion was unremarkable. He was granted good conduct pay on 9 September 1900 and had the forfeited it on 23 June 1902 for unspecified reasons. It was restored to him one year later on 23 June 1903.
Above: The engraved rim of Walker's medal. Most Victorian campaign medals were engraved or impressed with the recipient's regimental number, rank, name, and unit. This tradition offers a wealth of research possibilities for the military researcher and genealogist.
He left India and returned home with the 1st Battalion in July 1903 and transferred to the reserves on 9 December 1903. His final discharge from the reserves was on February 10, 1907.
While on the frontier Walker along with the rest of the 1st Battalion was first posted at Malakand Pass in the face of a rebellion of so 20,000 Afridi tribesmen. The battalion then fortified a camp in the Nawagai Valley along with the 11th Bengal Lancers. A determined enemy assault was repulsed on 20 September.
The 1st Battalion was then transferred to the Tirah Field Force under the above mentioned General Sir William Lockhart and would serve as part of General William Penn-Symons 2nd Infantry Brigade, 1st Division. During the campaign, the 1st Battalion would suffer relatively light casualties with ten dead and thirty wounded.
Above: An artist's impression of the Afridi attack on the camp in the Nawagai Valley on the night of 20 September 1897. After a painting by Frank Dadd.
For his service, Private Walker was entitled to the "Punjab Frontier 1897-98" and "Tirah 1897-98" clasps for his 1895 India General Service Medal. Both entitlements are confirmed in his service papers and the appropriate medal roll.
Above: Although no photographs of Private Henry James Walker have come to light, this cabinet photograph on an unidentified "other rank" of the 1st Battalion, the Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment gives an excellent impression of Walker's appearance after his return from the frontier at the close of the 1897-98 campaigns.
I have not been able to find any definite references to Walker after his final discharge. He does not appear to have seen additional service during World War One. One genealogy consulted seems to indicate that Walker may have died sometime around December 1918.

Step 1:
Wash and hull about 4 good size strawberries. Place them on a blender and puree them. Set aside.
Step 2:
Take out your freezer bowl and fill it 75% with lemonade. Pour the strawberry puree into the lemonade and mix with a spoon.
Step 3:
Put your mixer piece and lid on your ice cream maker. Turn it on and let it mix for about 10 minutes. That's it! You will end up with a nice strawberry-lemonade slushy.

What are progressive slots? Progressive slot machines pay when you hit symbol combinations, but they also pay additional jackpots when you hit the rarest combo. With each maximum bet made, jackpots grow progressively. A portion of the bet goes to the jackpot while the rest goes to the spin. Here is a nice overview of which progressive slots are won the most.
Progressive Jackpot Networks
Progressive jackpot networks may consist of a single machine, or they may consist of numerous contributions from machines across a vast network, where numerous people give to the jackpot at the same time. Network jackpots reach five to seven figures regularly, and they hit more often. The largest jackpot ever won online came from a player who won $8.62 million with Mega Moolah in 2009 at the River Belle Casino.
Strategies for Progressive Jackpots
When playing machines with progressive jackpot features, it is usually a good idea to maintain the maximum betting option. This assures that you receive the best possible payout if you get lucky, and always be cautious of the fine print when playing progressive slots. Some casinos will not give you the full jackpot if you bet half the maximum. Before starting on a machine, set a budget and do not spend everything you have on it. Video slots with progressive jackpots usually have a smaller payout chance, so you may want to diversify your gambling options. When someone wins the jackpot, the prize will be reset at a low number, and during this time, you may want to play other slots. Some jackpots have a higher payout because no one has won in a long time. These are the progressive slots you want to play.
Understanding If Progressive Slots Are for You
People looking to make a fast buck should look toward the regular machines. These machines are a better choice because of higher payout odds. If you want to go from rags to riches, progressive slots give you the chance to win a fortune; however, the odds are small and similar to playing the lottery.
When Will a Jackpot Strike?
Because of a random number generator, your odds of winning are the same each time. You never know when a jackpot will occur, and the odds are always the same. However, when do the odds become more favorable? When a progressive slot has not been won for a reasonable length of time, you may want to start adding quarters. Talk to an employee about the consistency of the progressive jackpot winnings. They could tell you if the jackpot is higher than it has ever been, and if wins have been consistent in the past few months, the odds are high that it will continue.
Progressive slots have become the most popular games of casino culture. However, familiarize yourself with the machine you will be playing to understand the payouts. You will also want to understand the betting requirements. The best choice is not always the progressive slot with the highest jackpot because you will be competing with countless other individuals to win the jackpot.

Seborrheic Dermatitis - Scalp Condition
Seborrheic dermatitis has a strange name but it is a fairly common skin disorder. It is embarrassing but is not contagious or harmful. Many of us call it dandruff, however it is more than that and is not a simple flaky scalp. (Light flaking, without itching, is usually dry scalp that can be treated with moisturizers.)
Seborrheic dermatitis is manifested in scaly, itchy, stubborn dandruff and red skin. It is most common on the scalp but can also affect the face, chest, back and any other oily part of the body.
What does it look like?
You may see patchy scaling or crusty areas on your scalp.
There may be yellow or white scales that attach themselves to the hair shaft.
There may be small reddish-brown bumps on your scalp.
It may begin with simple flaky skin or dandruff.
In infants, seborrheic dermatitis is called cradle cap. It has the same signs and symptoms as it does in adults except that, fortunately, it does not itch.
What causes seborrheic dermatitis?
Like many other skin disorders, the cause of seborrheic dermatitis isn't known although there are several factors that seem to contribute to it. Those with this disorder seem to have abnormal sebum (oil) production. They produce more oil than necessary for natural skin lubrication.
Some people may have a yeast or fungus called malassezia that grows in the sebum along with bacteria. Antifungal treatments are often effective in treating it.
There is some thought that outbreaks are linked to the production of certain hormones. It is also thought to be related to physical stress, fatigue or illness. The seasons also play a role. Outbreaks seem to be worse in the winter months and cold climates. It is also thought that seborrheic dermatitis occurs more frequently in people who have neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease.
Many people successfully treat this disorder themselves using over the counter anti-fungal shampoos and treatments, however there are times that it is best to visit your physician for treatment.
If the disorder persists even though you are treating it yourself or if your scalp is sore and feels as though it may be infected, see a doctor. If the condition is so uncomfortable that it keeps you awake at night or is distracting during the day, it is time to seek medical attention.

Faith of Jesus Daily Devotional - Day 45
Matthew:11:20-24 Woe on Unrepentant Cities
Previous Context: devotion:Matthew:11:1-19 Jesus and John the Baptist
What is God doing?
"Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done"
The Father has had Jesus set up His home base or hub in Capernaum so to speak, Chorazin and Bethsaida are close by within a few miles. It is the home of Phillip, Andrew and Peter, possibly James and John. Though they are always traveling great distances outward for long periods of time, they seem to make it a point to return here. As a result, several miracles have been performed attesting to Jesus being the Messiah. Jesus had gone to that area in particular in fulfillment of the "great light" prophecy of Isaiah devotion:Matthew:4:12-17 .
"It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you"
Tyre and Sidon are two former Phoenician port cities to the north both with a long history with Israel good and bad. Baal worship is believed to have been brought into Israel long ago from there for instance but so too was donated the supplies for building King David's home palace. These cities being Gentile strongholds are identified by Jesus as places better off on Judgment Day than the Jewish towns where Jesus did more of His obediences than any other place.
"If the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day"
You will recall that it was hard to find but seven persons righteous in all of Sodom. The Sodomites were at Lot's door step demanding that they be able to sodomize the angels sent there to judge the city. Not many cities have a sexual perversity named after them. Many cities have been judged by God in the past, many including these three that Jesus is currently upbraiding have come to complete ruin never again to exist. Only two cities have ever been judged more severely Sodom and Gomorrah. As wicked and deserving of judgment as Sodom itself was, there was a better chance of them repenting and accepting the works of Jesus as messiah than there is in this tri-city hub.
Lets think on those works now, what these people have seen first hand and most frequently and thus should have repented because of. In this gospel devotion Jesus had just asked John the Baptist to consider the same:
Not one person that has come or has been brought to Jesus has not been healed or released, this regardless of how much or how little they believed, how much or how little their caregivers believed, freely they had received. Not only did Jesus do this, but He miraculously gave the same power to twelve of His disciples and they did the same even despite the harsh treatment they received from the cities. Not only that, Jesus at several points along the way has fulfilled long standing prophecy going back even into His childhood and infancy before He could even speak a word. Wise men from the east have come to worship Him and Herods have sought to destroy Him and villages have cried out for the loss of their young because of who He was perceived even then to be. Prophets have declared Him on the Temple steps and at the Jordan, shepherds have given accounts. He has taught with an authority like no others, intense light has been focus by Him on the misdeeds and misinterpretations of the ruling religious class. He has performed things never seen before. He has calmed a tempest by His rebuke. The people have long awaited such a fulfillment of God's promise. The time table given by Prophet Daniel suggest this time and place. Even the Holy Spirit has descended upon Him and the voice of the Father heard acknowledging Him. What other proofs should the people need?
"It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee"
Early on God chose to make a point to nation Israel before it was a nation that would be remembered throughout, the story passed down from generation to generation. It is a story of God's judgment. As horrific as that old judgment was, it appears not to be the final judgment, the final judgment is more complete than even that. Sodom was judged then for their sin great as that sin was (the Lord could hear the cries of it calling out to heaven), what is a much greater sin however is having seen Jesus in the flesh like no other city before or since and having it mean little if any effect.
What is man doing?
"They repented not"
Quoted resource: strongs 'G3340'
They thought no different having seen Christ than before they had seen Him. They still saw their lives and their hearts and their salvation in the same way. Jesus had just stopped by to tidy up all this unpleasant affliction and everything, make living in this city a little bit better; just so we could go back and live the way we really desired to live this. They have corrupted what purpose God has for sending Jesus and what purpose God has had in choosing these people to show that purpose through to the rest of the nation and nations. I guess that there is no need nor urgency to repent when there is no fear of judgment for what they are not properly doing and what they are doing instead. What they are doing is worse than anything ever done in Sodom.
Note that Jesus has never pointed directly to any one sin, not as we would think sin to be, He has pointed to something much more defiled. See we consider sin on the scale of personal acts such as cheating or temper or stealing or giving false witness etc... While these things are manifestations of sin, sin goes much deeper to the very heart of the matter: our image of ourselves in relation to our image of God. In order to keep our selves at such a high image we have to bring God's rightful image down to something closer to our level else vanquish it all together; that is how we get to remain who we think that we are. It is that image that must be changed.
We have all been called to repent, to reconsider, to think of things much differently, to live lives as changed/redeemed/forgiven/exposed/liberated/delivered as from darkness into light/born again. And more than any personal vice or vain deception we have been asked to reconsider one very fundamental thing that logically will turn around everything else in our lives, our recognition and acknowledgement of who God actually is and what God is actually doing. This involves God as HE has revealed HIMSELF to be, not God as we want/make HIM to be; a very important distinction. Yet all too often there appears literally to be no change, no redirection, no substantive alteration. We change some poor habits, we get ourselves out of some disparaging situations, we make ourselves to be better versions of our original selves. If that is all it ever becomes, then that my friends is not repentance, that is continued self indulgence.
What does this passage tell us about the about the commands and faith of Jesus that saints are to keep/guard?
Not only is it true in our own personal walk with Jesus Christ (let's call that out patient keeping of the commandments and faith of Jesus), it is true of what fruit grows out from us, in how we affect other people that true repentance is key. A bad tree cannot produce good fruit, bad fruit is unrepentant fruit which is a continuance of rot no matter how it does or does not manifest itself. John the Baptist once preached of a fruit meat for repentance. Now we may think that we are repentant as it comes to our physical manifestations of sin such as anger or lust or promiscuity or addiction or such, but yet not repentant of our corrupted image of God (images - they all are to some respect) and our relation to that, then the root system that we are tapped into is not the abiding vine of Christ, it is the invasive creeping vine of this world.
It is not just for the individual to be of this ongoing repentance, it is of the congregation that acts as a body of salt upon this corrupt world, a city on a hill not hid. It is about not wasting the better revelation of Christ to which we have been blessed to the sticky mud of the common everyday ways of going about.

BERKELEY, Calif.
ANTICIPATION ran high as we took our places around two tables in the comfortable living room of Dwight M. Jaffee, a finance professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lynne LaMarca Heinrich, a fund-raising consultant. From bottles concealed in brown paper bags, Mr. Jaffee poured measures of red wine into the eight glasses arrayed before each of the 10 participants. Of the eight wines, we knew that four were Bordeaux and four California, all produced from 1975 to 1986, all donated by the participants. Our task was to taste the wines, to identify them as French or American, at least, and then to rank them in order of preference.
Daunting? Of course. Nothing is so humbling as a blind tasting. Experts swirl, sniff and opine, only to find that what they had so confidently pronounced a Margaux was in fact a Pauillac and what they had deemed a Pauillac was actually a Pommard. The blundering is part of the fun, and really, who can complain about the rare opportunity to taste fine aged wine?
It wasn't nearly as much fun in Paris in 1976, the scene of the most famous tasting gotcha of all time. Back then, nine French judges, including some of the top names in the French wine and food establishment, were given 20 wines to taste blind, 10 white and 10 red. Of the whites, all made from the chardonnay grape, five were Burgundy and five California. The reds, all cabernet sauvignon or cabernet blends, were likewise divided between Bordeaux and California.
The rest, yes, is history. As has been retold countless times, most recently in George M. Taber's engrossing book "Judgment of Paris: California vs. France and the Historic 1976 Paris Tasting That Revolutionized Wine" (Scribner, 2005), the judges were thoroughly deluded by their conviction that only French wines were capable of rapturous effect. California's reputation for wine, as far as they were concerned, was somewhere south of Sicily.
"Ah, back to France," one judge famously sighed after tasting a Napa Valley chardonnay, while another, sniffing a Bâtard-Montrachet, declared: "That is definitely California. It has no nose."Continue reading the main story
When all was done, the consensus favorite wines were a 1973 chardonnay from Chateau Montelena and a 1973 cabernet sauvignon from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, both in Napa Valley. Celebration among the Americans, consternation among the French, and for Mr. Taber, then a Time magazine reporter who was the only journalist to attend the tasting, a chance to record for posterity what might otherwise have been forgotten.
Whether, as Mr. Taber asserts, the '76 tasting revolutionized wine is highly debatable. The economic, cultural and technological forces that have shaped the globalization of the wine industry were inexorable, regardless of the results of this particular tasting.
But nobody can dispute that the 1976 tasting gave instant credibility to a nascent California wine industry at a moment when California was poised to take advantage of it. It also packed an important promotional punch for those California wineries that did well, like Stag's Leap and Montelena, and gave Mike Grgich, the winemaker at Montelena, the opportunity to form his own winery, Grgich Hills, in partnership with Austin Hills.
Beyond the effect on perception, the 1976 tasting provided a juicy competitive template for wine lovers around the world who, like my friends and me in Berkeley, have countless times imitated that famous tasting, no matter how vaguely. Our Berkeley tasting differed somewhat from the original. We did not taste whites, and our reds, rather than being of recent vintage, were 19 to 30 years old.
Nor were we fussy about trying to eliminate possible variations in storage or handling. One of our eight wines came from a magnum, the others from conventional bottles.
Good fun was the point, just as it was back in 1975, when Stephen Spurrier, then a wine merchant in Paris, conceived of the original event.
Nonetheless, our results were fascinating and clear revenge for the French, who had originally complained that they were at a disadvantage because the young California wines were fruity and easy to enjoy while the austere young French wines required time to evolve. Our No. 1 wine was a Mouton-Rothschild 1975, followed by Grand-Puy-Lacoste 1982 and Haut-Brion 1981 (the magnum). Then came the Californians, Ridge Monte Bello 1978, Mayacamas 1984, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars 1986 and Dominus 1985. Trailing the pack was a light and mellow Mouton-Rothschild 1978.
Conventional wisdom has it that when wines are young, as in the 1976 tasting, differences of terroir are concealed, but as the wines age they become easier to discern. This no doubt was why I was able to identify correctly all eight wines as either French or American. The Bordeaux were marked by a characteristic cedary, tobacco-like, herbal bouquet, while the American wines still had aromas dominated by fruit. The only serious divergence of opinion that I had with the rest of the group was with the '81 Haut-Brion, which I felt was past its prime and had ranked sixth. I had the Ridge as No. 3.
As much fun as the tasting was, framing it as a competition makes it easy to lose sight of the fact that most of these wines - regardless of how they finished - were superb and thoroughly absorbing. It was a privilege to taste each one. Ranking them tends to trivialize the enjoyment of great wines, though I suppose it serves a natural desire to order our experience.
I will further undercut the results by noting that three or four years ago I participated in another Paris-style taste-off between seven Bordeaux and seven California wines, mostly from the 1970 vintage. In the well-aged company of Bordeaux superstars like Pétrus, Latour and La Mission Haut-Brion, California took the top three spots, led by a Gemello 1970 from the Santa Cruz Mountains, a wine that is both obscure and legendary.
At yet another re-creation of the '76 tasting this fall, led by John Kapon, president of Acker Merrall & Condit, a retail shop in Manhattan, a panel of experts and an audience tasted young wines, both white and red. Among the whites, the audience favored California chardonnays while the experts preferred white Burgundies. Both the audience and the experts chose red Bordeaux over California cabernets.
Either way, no tasting will ever resound the way one so unexpectedly did in 1976. At parlor games like our Berkeley tasting, we commemorate the triumph of the unexpected. But regardless of the results, the Americans will always have Paris.Continue reading the main story

Landlord Tenant Q&A with CATHERINE M. MATTHEWS (R)
Broker-In Charge, Callahan Realty, Ltd.
Past President, Oahu Chapter
National Association of Residential Property Managers
Q. I had a tenant get locked out of their property and I told them to call a locksmith because I couldn't make it to the rental to let them in with my key. She did call someone she found on the internet. She chose this company because they advertised significantly cheaper prices than other companies. When the locksmith arrived, he said something was wrong with the lock and they had to drill the lock off and replace it. They presented the tenant with a bill for over $300! The tenant said she really didn't understand why that had to be done as the lock was working fine, she just locked her keys in the unit but she didn't argue. Fortunately, the tenant offered to pay the bill because she felt it was her fault. What should we have done differently?
A. First, I would check to see that this company is actually licensed and a legitimate business. It is possible that they are scammers who will retain a key and come back later to rob the unit, letting a period of time go by so they aren't top of mind as a suspect.
The state has an easy-to-use search engine to inquire about licensed individuals or companies (https://pvl.ehawaii.gov/pvlsearch/). It is a requirement to use licensed companies for plumbing and electrical work. For many other jobs, such as a locksmith, it is highly recommended. Licensed companies are registered with the State and most have passed some type of testing for their industry. Most industries have their own regulations and some even have funds to help if you are monetarily damaged by someone within that industry.
You want to beware of scammers. If someone is offering a significantly lower price than the competition, you should ask yourself why. Check to see if they have a license and whether the company has a legitimate address and phone number. You can actually do that by looking in the phone book or use a Search Engine, such as Google, to find a listing on the internet. You can often find reviews of the company as well. Red flags may include calling a business number and the person does not answer with the company name. Another red flag may be coming to perform work in a vehicle without a company name on it (depending on the industry). Ask for a business card prior to work being done, or ask for an estimate and/or invoice on preprinted letterhead.
In the instance of a locksmith, I would be very wary of someone who wanted to drill the lock off. Experienced locksmiths can open just about anything! We have many great legitimate locksmiths in our community. I have found that many will bend over backwards to help people in need; just be diligent in checking, even in an emergency situation.

I'm not a WHY? person. I believe in cause and effect. I don't think there is some bizarre mystical explanation behind most things that happen. Most things (good and bad) are simply the byproduct of either my choices or the choices of those around me. And for me, the subject of health is no exception.
Now I understand there are people out there that are doing everything right but they are still unhealthy. And on the flip side of things, there are people out there that are abusing their body like a 1970's Rock Star and yet they seem to be in perfect health. These are the exceptions, not the norm. I've heard estimates that there are anywhere from 20-30% of the population that fall into that category. If you know you are in that 20-30% group…you can stop reading now.
For the rest of you…this is how it works. You and the people around you make choices. Those choices have an effect. You live with those effects. End of story.
Now I said all that in order to say this…if you are unhealthy, overweight, unfit, weak and some really poor version of the you that you should be, it is likely for one reason. You are LAZY! Yep…that's right…LAZY!
"But I don't know what to do."
"I can't afford the gym."
"I'm too tired."
"My body hurts."
"My whole family is Fat."
"I have bad genes."
"It just doesn't work for me."
"I'm too Lazy." DING! DING! DING! We have a Winner!
Listen…I'm not trying to offend anyone. But if you go the rest of your life blaming someone else or something else, you will never be the person you are meant to be. The people who are healthy and well…the people who are fit…they don't blame others. Across the board, they take responsibility for themselves and their actions.
But I don't know what to do…
Then LEARN. We live in the information age. GOOGLE IT!! There are tons of free resources like podcasts, blogs, articles, newsletters, youtube channels, facebook pages and websites that are all designed to help you Kick ASS and be the best you that you can be. If you still don't know, this time next year…you are just too lazy to learn. We all didn't know what we were doing at some point.
But I can't afford the gym…
Fine…exercise at home. Pushups, pull-ups, air-squats, planks, jumping jacks, jump rope, burpees, mountain climbers, sprints and countless other exercises will kick your butt and require little or no equipment.
But I'm tired and in pain…
UGH…stop making excuses! I know sometimes when the body is injured, rest is the right thing to do. Nothing wrong with that. But as a general rule, the human body gets stronger when pushed…NOT weaker. The Marines like to say that pain is just "Weakness Leaving the Body." Many times that's the case. YES…it's important to know where you are and to be smart about what you are doing. And there's nothing wrong with baby steps. But just make sure you are taking steps. And if it's been that way for a long time…I'm sure you have convinced yourself that it has to be that way. But I want you to consider something…What if it doesn't? What if it doesn't?
But what about my genes? My whole family is FAT…
OK…here's the deal. I don't want to bore you to death with genetics, but your genes are not the damning sentence that most people seem to think they are. Yes, you will often see diseases and health problems run in families. And yes, your genes can influence how susceptible you may or may not be to certain ailments. But most genes are reactive instead of proactive. What this means is that the choices that you make and the lifestyle that you live will influence whether or not your genes are negatively affecting your health.
WARNING: Basketball Analogy Ahead
I often use the analogy of a basketball team. There might be a handful of bad players on the roster, but that doesn't mean that they get to play. If the game remains competitive, they will likely just have to sit there on the bench. If something bad were to happen in the game, like the star player getting hurt or the score getting out of hand, the bad players may get a chance to play. Think of your health the same way. If you eat clean, exercise and take care of yourself like you should, your health will be well enough that your bad genes will most likely just have to sit on the sidelines and watch. They usually don't get to play unless the game gets ugly. When you stop taking care of yourself and your health goes in the crapper…well the bad genes get to play and that's when you get to find out what you are genetically prone to. My advice…don't let them play.
Final Thoughts
Excuses are like Butts…everyone has one and most of them stink! You can spend the rest of your life blaming the doctors, drug companies, big business, small business, the government, the FDA the economy, age, genes, family, friends or a million other things. But the man (or woman) in the mirror is really the problem. You are LAZY! And until you decide to stop being lazy, you will never be the person you could be and should be.
I'm going to leave you with two things…a quote and a video. I read this the other day that I want you to think about it. "We all must suffer one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret." Lastly…below is a video from Nike called "No Excuses." I don't want to give it away…but it's worth watching.
