• Gently clean and dry the site, then check the site after 30 minutes to see if there is any fresh leakage. This will indicate whether there is actual gastric leakage and not just spillage from a previous feeding or tube check. If there is actual gastric leakage and the skin is intact, you may ask your physician whether you should apply a skin protectant or moisture barrier such as zinc oxide ointment. Notify the physician if skin redness extends more than 1 cm from the stoma or is accompanied by pain, swelling or denuded skin.
• Check the amount of water in the balloon. The balloon may be leaking if it has lost the prescribed amount of fluid and the tube may need to be replaced. If the correct amount of water remains in the balloon, the device may be poorly sized or inadequately stabilized and you should have your clinician reevaluate the tube.
• Verify that the external bolster rests just above the abdomen by 2-3mm. Check for proper internal balloon placement by aspirating the stomach contents to assess for gastric residuals or by utilizing air auscultation.
• Verify that fluid will flow freely by flushing the tube with water.
Caution: Do not push cotton-tipped applicators or other foreign objects through the feeding port valve as this may cause the valve to tear and leak.
The bolus extension set is intended to be used for short term feeding when the person receives multiple feedings throughout the day. The straight connector and wide tubing facilitate quick feeds.
• Attach an extension set to the clogged port (gastric or jejunal) of the MIC-KEY* feeding tube. Place a catheter tip syringe filled with warm water into the extension set and gently pull back on then depress the plunger to dislodge the clog.
• If the clog remains, repeat the previous step. Gentle suction alternating with syringe pressure will relieve most obstructions.
• If this fails, consult your clinician and consider trying a solution of pancreatic enzymes and sodium bicarbonate instilled through a catheter tip syringe. We recommend you do not use cranberry juice, cola drinks, meat tenderizer or chrymotrypsin, as these can actually cause clogs or create adverse reactions in some cases. Diet sodas (non-cola) and carbonated or seltzer water may prove successful in removing some clogs.
• If the clog is stubborn and cannot be removed, the tube will have to be replaced.
If any of these conditions occur, contact your clinician for advice on how to treat the problem.
1. Cleanse the skin around the stoma site and allow to air dry.
2. Remove the new tube from the package. Using a slip tip syringe, fill the balloon with 5 ml of sterile or distilled water.
3. Remove the syringe and check the balloon for leaks. It should be symmetrical. Reinsert the syringe and remove the water from the balloon by pulling back on the plunger.
4. Attach the luer slip syringe to the balloon valve that is in the patient's stomach. Pull back on the plunger until all of the water is out of the balloon.
5. Gently remove the tube from the patient. It may help to use a small amount of water-soluble lubricant around the stoma site and tube.
6. Lubricate the tip of the replacement feeding tube with a water-soluble lubricant. Do not use oil or petroleum jelly as these can damage the tube.
7. Gently guide the new tube into the stoma until it is flat against the skin.
8. Hold the tube in place and fill the balloon with amount of sterile or distilled water recommended by your physician. Do not use air or exceed the recommended volume.
9. Wipe away any fluid or lubricant from the tube and the stoma site.
10. Check the tube for correct placement by inserting an extension set into the MIC-KEY* feeding tube and listening for air or aspirating any residual stomach contents. If you cannot verify the tube placement, contact your clinician.
11. Flush the tube to confirm that fluid will flow freely and to also clean the tube.
In health care today, it's more important than ever for clinicians to be equipped with the proper protective apparel.

Schumer Promises To Filibuster Neil Gorsuch, Instantly Gets Obliterated By Sean Spicer…
Early Monday, Sen. Chuck Schumer made his party's intentions clear — Democrats will filibuster Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.
But that didn't settle well with White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
Spicer blasted the New York senator's decision to filibuster Gorsuch as pure "obstructionism," saying that Gorsuch deserves a fair up or down vote.
Free Beacon reports:
Spicer argued that Schumer's filibuster, if successful, would be unprecedented.
"If Senator Schumer gets his way, this would be the first successful filibuster against a Supreme Court nominee in American history," Spicer said.
Spicer also refuted Schumer's argument that the Senate has historically required 60 votes to approve every previous nominee.
"That's simply not true," Spicer said, before saying that only three nominees have faced a filibuster in the last half of the century.
Spicer also suggested filibustering Gorsuch was unjustified, considering how qualified he was for the job.
"The fact is an attempted filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee is rare, and to do so in this context with such an eminently qualified and brilliant judge is nothing short of obstructionism," Spicer said.

Library Receives Grant to Digitize Early Issues of the Megaphone
Grant will enable it to put all issues from 1907-1924 online
Southwestern has received a grant to help digitize some of the earliest issues of its student newspaper, The Megaphone.
Southwestern received the grant through the Rescuing Texas History Mini-Grant program, which is run by the University of North Texas. UNT started the project in 2006 with funding from the Summerlee Foundation, which is headquartered in Dallas. The purpose of the project is to get new material for the Portal to Texas History, which was created in 2002 to provide online access to books, photographs, artifacts, maps, newspapers, letters and other historic materials from across Texas. The portal currently includes more than 4 million pages of materials.
This is the first year that Rescuing Texas History mini-grants were available for newspaper digitizing projects.
Kathryn Stallard, director of special collections and archives, said she decided to apply for a grant to help make The Megaphone more accessible to researchers. The digital Megaphone will be searchable, meaning that users can enter a name or event and quickly find relevant articles.
"While all the back issues of The Megaphone are available on microfilm, the film is very tedious to use," Stallard said. "Digitizing The Megaphone will significantly increase its value as a primary resource for both Southwestern University and the community − and more than a few genealogists."
Stallard said early issues of The Megaphone are particularly interesting because they devoted considerable ink to the activities of the literary and debate societies, which dominated campus social and cultural life in the decades preceding World War I. "The topics that students addressed reflected the social and political controversies of the era," Stallard said.
Stallard said even advertisements and photos in early issues of The Megaphone offer insights into town life, businesses, buildings and more. For example, a 1913 ad for men's suits at Gray's Department Store promotes "All $15 suits now $12.50."
Over the years, Megaphone reporters also covered visits to campus by distinguished speakers such as Helen Keller, Jacob Riis and Carl Sandberg. Stallard said she has had inquiries from people who want to know when celebrities such as these were on campus. More recently, she has had considerable interest in the history of Southwestern football.
"I wish we'd had these issues online for those researchers!" she said.
Stallard said the grant will enable Southwestern to have all the issues of The Megaphone that were published between 1907 and 1924 digitized by staff members in the UNT Library's Digital Projects Unit. Stallard sent the microfilm rolls up to Denton Oct. 7.
After the newspapers have been scanned, they will be added to the Texas Digital Newspaper Program, which is also based at the UNT Libraries. The program is part of a larger project called the National Digital Newspaper Program, which is trying to create a digital resource of historically significant newspapers published in the United States between 1836 and 1922.
Tara Carlisle, project development librarian for the UNT Libraries, said one advantage of having materials on the Portal to Texas History is that they will be indexed by search engines such as Google. This opens collections up to people around the world who might not otherwise have access to them.
Stallard said she hopes to use other funds to digitize the remaining issues of The Megaphone.

Over the past few months, I have made contact with several experts in AI. This includes programmers and philosophers. I've come to these individuals with questions about the future of AI.
I initially became interested in AI because of universal basic income theory. Some argue that AI has and will continue to take jobs away from humans and, thus, a universal basic income will be a necessity. Then, I became independently interested in the topic.
There are those who argue that AI will never become fully intelligent. They argue it's just not possible for an AI to pass the Turing Test, for instance.
Then, there are those who argue that AI will indeed become intelligent–and will take over the world!
I'm in neither of these camps. I favor a universal basic income for reasons independent of AI and its progression. I think, for example, it's simply time in human history to try this new policy. Being a slave to wage labor is, in my thinking, old-school and barbaric. I think we will eventually get there, too.
It's with the same optimism that I approach AI. I don't envision a dystopian future, filled with killer robots. I see a world where AI can develop fully and become intelligent in some of the best senses of the word. In fact, I look forward to new bot-friends who can tell me about their new theories of ethics and political philosophy!
My view may be a minority view. If science-fiction tells us anything, I should probably expect something more sinister. But I don't. Of course, there will be bots of different purposes and some of them may kill. But one purpose–one need that must be filled–is the human need for connection. And one way of connecting is to have enjoyable, intellectual conversations. So, I look forward to a bot who can be my friend–in almost an Aristotlean way.

I'm changing the design layout of the default main screen and would like to hear comments before I release it.
It only fits on the RA+ board though.
Here is what you need to do:
Update your libraries with the current dev branch of our libraries: https://github.com/reefangel/Libraries/archive/dev.zip
Update the features.txt with the attached file. It is located at \Documents\Arduino\update
Add this to your setup() section:
- Code: Select all
Make sure you don't have any custom main screen code, so you need have to delete the functions DrawCustomGraph and DrawCustomMain.
Let me know your thoughts
If you have any ideas to improve the layout, please speak up!!!

You know you want a set of those bar stools pictured above.
What about some of these other treasures we found. Anyone for a giant metal cactus? Anyone? What about a longhorn steer?
After shopping the morning away we went in search of something a bit more cultural.
We followed the El Paso Mission Trail. The mission trail consists of three missions. We managed to make it to two of them. The first was San Elizario Presidio Chapel.
|San Elizario Presidio Chapel 1877
The interior is very ornate and there was so much to look at from the stained glass windows to the columns and arches.
We stopped at a little taco shop for lunch then moved on to Socorro Mission (1843).
|Socorro Mission 1843
The inside of this mission was very rustic and the age was apparent but in the best possible way.
I loved the carved wood trim along the walls and the balcony.
The altar...
Ceiling detail...
I never get tired of seeing parts of America's history.

Sudden Spokespersons of Patriotism
Wednesday's issue of the Online Journal's Best of the Web had an item linking to an interesting article by
The Journal quotes Gitlin in describing the problem the left has with Patriotism:
"The left sees itself as standing outside a country that does bad," Gitlin said. "However, it is strategically disastrous to take this position as outsiders, since it is a concession to people who are not entitled to be the spokespersons of patriotism. It is a move against public life, public domain, public virtue and public-mindedness."
The editors at the Journal summarize and comment on Gitlin's premise:
As a man of the left, he frames the argument in strategic terms because he knows liberals want power, and he correctly ascertains that the path to power would be much easier if they were correctly perceived as patriotic. The question is whether such an instrumental approach can produce a sincere patriotism. We don't know the answer, but we're skeptical.
Gitlin advocates that the Left discard their reluctance to express and even embrace their underlying "patriotism," and allow the public to develop a more accurate sense that they are patriotic, and the stances they take are reflective of how patriotic they really are, in taking offense against the wrongs done by the default "spokespersons of patriotism."
There's a tragic flaw, a fundamental obstacle to Gitlin's aim: the actual, in their heart of hearts perception of what
Today's "progressives" would be hard pressed to find policies that suited them, even if they were ever given the chance to lead. For everything in their ideology, everything in their self-created reality, is based on the first premise that everything the
They have traveled together so far down this road that even a truly progressive foreign policy, one that reasserts the primacy of human rights and democratic ideals, leaves them in a sulk.
"The left sees itself as standing outside a country that does bad," Gitlin alleges, and in this he is right. The left sees itself as the sole protector of all the good that the bad of the
Voltaire said, "the perfect [sometimes translated, "best"] is the enemy of the good." For the left, that never fails to leave them in a state of permanent opposition to public policy, no matter how well intended. One need look no further than the foolishness of constituencies who place modern "progressives" in places of authority and governance. Look at their hopeless and misguided efforts at legislating human nature? At righting wrongs with excessive authority? At intrusions into fundamentally liberties?
Their own lofty principles and "if only" dreams make them the enemies of practical good today.
How anyone can construe us as bad, rather than perhaps sometimes misguided or clumsy, depending on your politics, is incredible.
To see the US as bad goes beyond being a patriot who loves the US but hates what we do; to see the US as bad is to have so warped a perspective or world view, that you are logically in favor of a diminishment of US power and influence, a rejection of US ideals, a repudiation of US aims and objectives in the world, the defeat of US national interests, and so on.
That's not a problem of others perception of the Left. That's a crisis in the perceptions of the Left, themselves.

Automotive Cybersecurity
NXP Semiconductors joined Auto-ISAC
NXP Semiconductors N.V. has joined the Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC). Auto-ISAC was formed by automakers to establish a secure platform for sharing, tracking and analyzing intelligence about cyber threats and potential vulnerabilities around the connected vehicle. Auto-ISAC operates as a central hub that allows members to anonymously submit and receive information to help them more effectively counter cyber threats in real time.
The automobile industry recognizes that the autonomous driving ecosystem — that includes wireless technologies that enable communications, telematics, digital broadcast reception, and ADAS systems — introduces risks for potential attack by hackers.
NXP has joined the Auto-ISAC organization to help develop best cybersecurity practices for the automotive industry. Auto-ISAC published the Automotive Cybersecurity Best Practices Executive Summary, which outlines Auto-ISAC's development of informational guides that cover organizational and technical aspects of vehicle cybersecurity, including governance, risk management, security by design, threat detection and incident response. ISAC implements training and promotes collaboration with third parties. In the United States, 98 percent of vehicles on the road are represented by member companies in the Auto-ISAC.

When five out of ten of Amazon's bestselling books are colouring books, one has to wonder just what exactly it is about the adult colouring faze that has swept not just the nation but the world. Forget writing your great novel, think about designing an adult colouring book, that's where the money is, you might think.
There is split opinion as to whether or not the rise of colouring books for those above the age of eight is just a faze, or whether it's actually something good, or in some cases, bad for us. An article in the Telegraph recently called adult colouring books a childish fad that is actually serving to regress our educational and developmental progression. The writer in not so many words said that adults favouring books, movies and other activities designed for children is proof that modern culture is abandoning the idea of adulthood, resigning themselves to the fact that becoming an adult is hard work, discouraging and unromantic.
This is perhaps true in one way or another, but simply enjoying animated movies or reading books in the young adult category does not necessarily mean that one is avoiding becoming an adult, it simply means that we no longer see categories as boundaries. Blurring those boundaries, surely means that modern culture has become more open, more flexible, and more willing to accept things at face value rather than reading between the lines.
There is another argument that adult colouring books are none of the above. Not a fad, not proof of our resistance, or evidence of our flexibility, but actually a tool for therapy and meditation. When one of my friends recently lost somebody close to him, he was given a colouring book as something to focus on when he needed a distraction, some quiet time or soothing. It seems to be a common idea, as the National Post recently published an article about a mother who lost her 10 week old son and found her solace in a colouring book.
Psychologists believe that colouring books can work just as well as other stress relieving techniques such as yoga and meditation, and according to Craig Sawchuk from the Mayo Clinic when he spoke to the National Post, colouring can help to slow down the heart rate and respiration, ultimately calming somebody down, as well as relax your muscles and stimulate the brain. This essentially is a grounding technique, which can be used for anybody going through any kind of mental discomfort to focus on the object at hand, and take a break from whatever else is going on in your life. It doesn't have to be all about stress relief, grief or healing from trauma, because everybody needs a little time out every once in a while, so why not do it while colouring?!

Due to a problem with recording there is no audio of yesterday morning's sermon but here is a transcript of the message from Exodus 17.
Some of the most powerful commercials I have seen on TV recently are ads against texting while driving. One features a young man who is in physical therapy mumbles out the warning not to text and drive as he struggles to get back abilities he lost in an accident he had while texting. Sometimes it is just a family member holding a picture of one who died while texting. These commercials teach by negative example. And this is how God teaches us through the Israelites. He shows us what not to do. But in the midst of their bad example, we are also confronted time and time again by God's amazing grace. And it is that same grace which will celebrate at the Lord's table at the end of the service this morning.
I. The NEGATIVE Example of the Israelites (17:1-4).
Exodus 17:1 All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the LORD, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
As we move to a new sermon we must not forget where we have been. One of the great benefits to preaching straight through books of the Bible is that we know where the story has been. If I had to tell one thing to a preacher just starting out, I would say this: preach straight through books of the Bible. You will strengthen your own soul, you will be forced to not just preach on your same hobby horse topics and you will help people see how the Bible is connected throughout. And you will also see that every part of the Bible is relevant for us today. Well, enough of my commercial for verse-by-verse preaching through books.
I said a minute ago that we've got to remember where we've been. Remember chapter 16. We've just seen God provide manna and quail for the people when they were hungry. We've just seen God manifest Himself to the people in the pillar of cloud and fire. We've seen God's grace not only in providing food for the people but also in providing a day of rest and worship, a Sabbath, for a people who had formerly worked day after day as slaves in Egypt. So God has provided for the people time and time again. He has provided salvation from Egypt for them through the miracles of the plagues and the parting of the Red Sea and now He has been miraculously sustaining them in the wilderness, providing them water and food in their time of need. But here again, they face a test. There is no water. They have been led to a place called Rephidim. They have been led by the command of the Lord. God Himself goes with them. The place Rephidim means, "place of rest." But it all looks like a mirage. God has led them again into a dry land, a place with no water. Once again He is bringing them to a place of testing. Will they trust Him this time? Sadly, we see the answer in verse 2 —
2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water to drink." And Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?"
The people quarreled with Moses. The people tested the Lord. They demanded water. They complained and rambled on and on about their lack, but they didn't go to the One who could meet their need. They didn't go to God. Moses seems to highlight this when he says, "Why do you quarrel with me?" It's not only that Moses is exasperated with the Israelites (though he is). Moses' real concern is that the Israelites have failed to go to God to ask Him to provide.
But isn't this just like us? I am absolutely convinced that the overwhelming majority of our stress and anxiety and the largest portion of our complaining comes from not submitting our hearts and our needs to God in prayer but instead trying to find solutions on our own or seeking to blame someone else for our problems. This all plays out especially clearly in an election season. We look to these leaders as our saviors, if only this one or that one gets elected everything will be ok. Meanwhile, we don't realize how so many of our problems come not from a failure or policy or the wrong politics, but from our own godless choices and our godless responses to the trials we face. I'm not saying politics has no place or that politicians can have no impact. But we vastly overestimate them when we look to them as deliverers and fail to go to God for our nation, our world and our own life challenges. We need revival from the Lord in our land today as much or more than the Israelites needed water in the wilderness. And we'll still need that revival on November 7th, no matter who gets elected. So are you praying or are you trusting in the strength of man? Are you laboring in prayer for our nation? Are you praying for the gospel to run like wildfire in the Muslim world? Are you asking God to save and sustain the people of Africa? Are you asking Him for the nations of Latin America to turn away from empty religion to the living God? Is your heart burdened today for the people of North Korea and Syria? We want the world to be a better place but we fail to call earnestly on the Name of the One who promises to make it not only a better place, but to bring the new heavens and the new earth. So we can't bring accusations against Israel, either over the little details of our lives or over the big issues of the world.
Verses 3 and 4 show us what happens when we lose sight of God . . .
3 But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, "Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?" 4 So Moses cried to the LORD, "What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me."
See, the thirst was real, just like our problems are real. But their response is not an example to follow, but one to reject. They grumbled against Moses. They accused him of bringing them out of Egypt to kill them all with thirst. And according to Moses' words in verse 4, they threatened Moses with death. He told God they were ready to stone him.
Now God is the one leading them, not Moses. And God is the One who had provided for them every step of the way. But it was not enough. They lost all perspective because they forgot all the past grace of God. How easy it is for our very real problems today to overshadow all the very real care of God yesterday and His presence with us in the here and now.
The Israelites have done here exactly what so many in our culture have done. They have put God to the test. God gave them no water to test their faith and they in response tested God, they put Him on trial. C.S. Lewis explains this well when he writes, "The modern man approaches God as the judge: God is in the dock. He is quite a kindly judge: if God should have a reasonable defense for being the God who permits war, poverty and disease, he is ready to listen to it. The trial may even end in God's acquittal. But the important thing is that Man is on the Bench and God in the Dock." I think Lewis is right. Our culture is all about putting God to the test. We ask questions, some of them real questions, but so often they come from skeptical hearts, hearts ready to leap with unbelief at the first perceived problem. And we call this humility and openness and tolerance. And we are wrong. We are not the judge. He is. And He will judge rightly every single time. So we've got to get the order right. He's the Lord. He calls the shots. He brings the circumstances into my life that He chooses and I don't get to form a review board to give a thumbs up or a thumbs down to His will. "Yes, Lord, I'll take cancer. Make it small and manageable." "But I simply can't bear my child getting sick." We just don't get to make those calls. He is God, we are not.
God would be justified for judging us for our arrogance but so often He does for us exactly what He does for the Israelites here. He displays His amazing grace . . .
II. The AMAZING Grace of God (17:5-7).
5 And the LORD said to Moses, "Pass on before the people, taking with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.
God tells Moses to pass before the people along with the elders and the rod which he used to strike the Nile. I think God is showing His grace here first of all by supporting Moses. He is having him pass before all the people with the elders and the rod to show that He was called by God as leader for the people of Israel. This is His symbolic endorsement of Moses. God will strengthen and support and uphold His men and women who call on Him and live before Him faithfully. You need not cower or go into hiding if you call on God and live before Him in truth.
6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink." And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel.
God's very presence would be on the rock at Horeb and when Moses struck the rock, water would come out for the people to drink. God's amazing grace. The people are faithless but God is faithful. This is not an encouragement for us to be faithless, it is an acknowledgement that we often are and that even in those times God often meets us with one grace after another. He is a good God. He is faithful. His constant supply and His boundless grace are intended to teach us that He can be trusted. But verse 7 tells us we get a far different lesson from the Israelites . . .
7 And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the LORD by saying, "Is the LORD among us or not?"
The Israelites failed to trust God. They are a negative example for us. They didn't trust in God's promise to be with them. They didn't trust in God's track record of faithfulness. They grumbled, they quarreled, they questioned. They presumed that God must work according to their plan. They sought to demand that God do what they want. In other words, as we preached several months ago, theirs was a life unto self rather than a life unto God. Yet look at the grace of God.
As I think about God's grace and my failure to trust in Him, I am reminded of an old Keith Green song, Make My Life a Prayer to You. Instead of being like this Israelites, this sums up where we should be.
Make my life a prayer to You
I wanna do what You want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise
I wanna shine the light You gave
Through Your Son You sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know You're really there
Well I wanna thank You now for being patient with me
Oh it's so hard to see, when my eyes are on me
I guess I'll have the trust and just believe what You say
Oh You're coming again, You're coming to take me away
I wanna die and let You give Your life to me, so I might live
And share the hope You gave to me, the love that set me free
I wanna tell the world out there, You're not some fable or fairy tale
That I've made up inside my head, You're God the Son
You've risen from the dead.
Finally, we see this morning that this story in Exodus 17, has a New Testament connection. So I want to take the final couple of minutes this morning leading into the Lord's Supper —
III. Connecting This Story to CHRIST (1 Corinthians 10).
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10, 1 I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. Now 1 Corinthians 10 is an awesome chapter and we don't have time to get into all the details there but I just want to show you here that Paul connects the water from the rock to Christ. He is the spiritual Rock from which they drank. Paul's main point in 1 Corinthians 10 is to say that the church in Corinth should not worship idols, because Christ is in their midst, just as He was in the midst of Israel in the wilderness. He says many Israelites fell into idolatry and he warns the Corinthians against the same failure. But what does he mean when he says that Jesus was the Rock?
I think Jesus was the Rock in two ways. First, the actions of Moses with the rock were a picture of the death of Christ. The rod in the Bible was a symbol of judgment. As it was in the plagues and as it was even at the parting of the Red Sea, which not only delivered Israel but also drowned the Egyptians. As this rod strikes the rock, it is a symbol of the judgment of God borne by Jesus for the sake of all who trust in Him.
As it is written in Isaiah 53:4 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. 8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? 9 And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
But the rock is not only a picture of the death of Christ, it is a picture of the life that is found in Christ. The water was struck and water flowed. Jesus' side was struck while he was dead on the cross and blood and water flowed. And even more significantly, on at least two occasions, Jesus related refreshing, life giving water to His mission in the world.
John 4:13 Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty forever. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
And again, note John 7:37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'"
A couple of weeks ago we saw that, like the manna, Jesus was the bread of God from heaven. This week we see that Jesus is that living water that can quench the thirst we have had all our lives.
As I was working on this message, a verse from Revelation came to mind. When I looked it up, I found it was the very last invitation or summons given in the book. We find it in Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
So that's my invitation to you today. If you have never partaken of the water of life, trust in Jesus today. He will satisfy your soul from now through eternity. If you've trusted Him but have let your heart be swayed by other things, come back to Him today. He will welcome you. Come to Him today. Whatever God is working in your heart, move in response to His call as we sing. And then we'll conclude the service by celebrating the Lord's Supper together. Let's pray.

« Post-Gehry, Atlantic Yards' Nets Arena To Be Designed by New York Boutique SHoP | Main | Straight from (then) ESDC CEO's mouth: a promise of two community meetings »
September 3, 2009
Atlantic Yards political watch
If it doesn't actually make your stomach turn, then it's kinda fun watching citywide candidates trying to get their stories straight on Bruce Ratner's controversial Brooklyn boondoggle:
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn, Thompson "Late Supporter" of Atlantic Yards. Says Urban Planning Not About "Developer Accommodation"
Whoopsie! Despite what Mayoral hopeful and current City Comptroller William Thopmson says, he seems to have forgotten that he publicly supports Bruce Ratner's controversial Atlantic Yards boondoggle, at least since 2005.
Comptroller and mayoral candidate Bill Thompson says he is a "late supporter" of Atlantic Yards. Late supporter? Support has moved away from the project over the years due to more and more coming to light about what a boondoggle it is. Becoming a late supporter means one is moving towards a boondoggle.
Anyway, it is hardly true. Thompson was an early supporter. Thompson's letter of support was part of the development proposal package submitted to the MTA by Forest City Ratner in 2005. Download his letter here [pdf].
Atlantic Yards Report, At the Comptroller debate, Yassky's contradiction on AY
In all fairness, it can be hard to keep the facts and figures straight on Atlantic Yards, especially since some of them are such moving targets. However after seriously lowballing some of the figures for Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards, City Councilmember and candidate for City Comptroller David Yassky declares, "The project should not be built with taxpayer money."
Norman Oder points out:
[T]he only way Forest City Ratner would build it is with taxpayer money, and a "right-sized project" might require more subsidies. Still, Yassky thinks it's a "good project," so he's been unwilling to challenge such things as the state's dubious finding of blight.
Check out the rest of the article to learn more about how the other candidates bungle the issue.
NoLandGrab: In classic Yassky fashion, he's managed to confuse his position on Atlantic Yards. At this point, we have to assume that he's for the project, if only it could be a different project, and will occasionally speak out against it, but won't do anything about it.
Atlantic Yards Report, On Brian Lehrer Show, de Blasio wants "original interpretation" of AY
City Councilmember and Public Advocate candidate Bill de Blasio wants you to know that when it comes to Atlantic Yards he's a strict constructionist:
[WNYC Radio host Brian] Lehrer asked, "Do you have a position on Atlantic Yards and what should happen next?"
"I have said from the beginning I believe in the affordable housing, the hiring of local residents and living wage levels," de Blasio said. "This vision has not been fulfilled so far. I think there should be no more subsidies. I think there should be no more demolitions. I think the company involved has to prove that they will keep to the original interpretation or we should pull the plug."
No more demolitions? De Blasio is repeating talking points from April 2008.
The original interpretation? Forest City Ratner has changed its plans in numerous ways, but the single biggest one, about which de Blasio was noticeably silent, was the revision in June of the deal for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Vanderbilt Yard, saving developer Forest City Ratner more than $100 million and leading to a smaller, rather than larger (as promised), permanent railyard.
NoLandGrab: No more demolitions?? Sorry Bill Ratner has already taken down every building he can, except for the Spalding building, which at this point is worth more standing, should Atlantic Yards not get built. Plus, de Blasio was nowhere near the footprint when the wrecking balls were flying.

Lindsay Lohan shows interest in Leonardo DiCaprio
Looks like Lindsay Lohan has had enough of women, for she is now turning her attention to men, and the latest guy she's interested in is none other than Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio.
The 'Mean Girls' star, who has recently spilt with lesbian lover Sam Ronson, was spotted flirting with the 'Titanic's actor before getting up to dance in front of him.
Lindsay spotted Leo at Hollywood hotspot My House on April 15, and indulged in cosy chat with the 34year-old star.
"As soon as Lindsay saw Leo she was like a bee to honey," British tabloid The Sun quoted a source as saying.
"She was going for the big catch and when she spotted him in a dark corner of the club she headed straight for him.
"She quickly monopolised his conversation and made sure she had him all to herself.
"Lindsay is a sharp tac. She wasn't wasting her time chatting up small fish. She seemed interested in the gents with deeper pockets, probably because her career is on a downward trajectory.
"The pair were cosied up together deep in conversation. She definitely tickled his fancy," the source added.
Later in the night, after a few drinks and more of flirting, Lindsay took to the dance floor to show off her moves.
The eyewitness said: "It was a bit shocking when she got up and started dancing in front of him but he seemed to be enjoying it."
DiCaprio has earlier dated supermodels Helena Christensen and Gisele Bundchen, and he is currently going around with Israeli catwalk star Bar Rafaeli.
