Los Gigantes Travel Guide
Los Gigantes (The Giants) is aptly named after the Acantilados de los Gigantes; large, striking cliffs that surround this attractive holiday resort. The resort is set on the west coast of Tenerife and is essentially joined together with its neighbours, Playa la Arena and Puerto Santiago, to provide visitors with an exciting resort experience. A concerted effort has been made not to destroy the natural beauty of the town and as such there are none of the towering hotels common to other Spanish tourist resorts. The scenery is dominated by a rocky cliff which is 2,600 feet (800 metres) high in places. The resort is self-sufficient, with plenty of shops, restaurants and activities to keep holidaymakers entertained, well-fed and happy. Los Gigantes is a peaceful resort, ideal for a relaxing holiday.
Uphill from the marina is the resort's commercial centre, with plenty of shops ranging from supermarkets to upscale fashion boutiques and a convenient pedestrian zone near the church. The nearby village of Masca also has a few independent souvenir shops that sell unique items like local pottery, liquor made from bananas or honey, and embroidered tablecloths and clothing. Los Gigantes is a good resort for shopping and the proximity of a number of other resorts and villages ensures there is plenty of variety.
There are quite a few restaurants and bars at the marina, and seafood is the local speciality (paella is always a good bet in the coastal regions of Spain!). While at the popular holiday destination of Los Gigantes, it's essential to sample the fine cuisine at Krishna's. El Rincon de Juan Carlos and Jardin del Sol also garner rave reviews from foodies and casual diners alike. Guests may not smoke indoors in most restaurants, but smoking is allowed on covered verandas and in marked areas.
Although Los Gigantes has a selection of bars and even nightclubs, it is a peaceful resort and does not have an energetic nightlife. Much of the live music and entertainment in Los Gigantes is provided by the hotels and restaurants. Visitors will hear jazz, salsa, rock music, and the local folk music called Tenderete. Most of the bars and clubs in the resort are centred in Santiago Bajo.
Holiday activities
Los Gigantes has a lovely, upmarket marina, which visitors can use as a starting point for boat trips to explore the imposing cliff-faces, enjoy dolphin and whale watching excursions or trips to neighbouring resorts. The resort's small beach has black volcanic sand and good swimming conditions and neighbouring Playa la Arena offers a larger version. There are also a number of water sports and activities such as big game fishing on offer, and those who hire a car will find many interesting sights and sounds in the surrounding areas. A not-to-be-missed event in the town is the annual carnival held in the week after Ash Wednesday. Visitors will find that although Los Gigantes is not party central, there is still plenty to see and do year round.
Any negatives?
Los Gigantes is hilly, with narrow streets that can be difficult to traverse for people with mobility issues. Youngsters in search of a party may be disappointed with the sedate nightlife.

Indiana House: Governors Don't Have to Wait to Lead Colleges
Legislative Republicans have defeated a Democratic proposal aimed at preventing a repeat of Purdue University's hiring of Mitch Daniels as its new president while he was still governor.
House Democratic leader Scott Pelath offered the provision, which would have required a governor to be out of office for a year before being appointed president of a state university.
Pelath says he's sure Daniels will be a good president at Purdue, but that his selection six months before leaving office set a "horrible precedent.'' He says he worries about future governors lining up taxpayer-supported jobs for themselves.
House members voted 65-28 against Pelath's proposal after Republican floor leader Bill Friend said the proposal should've been offered in a separate bill for committee debate.

BERKELEY, Calif. — With a renewed effort on the defensive end and the glass, Washington has put a disappointing nonconference schedule in the past.
C.J. Wilcox scored 19 points to reach 1,000 for his career and Washington scored 16 straight points in the first half to roll to a second straight conference road win, beating California 62-47 on Wednesday night in the lowest-scoring home game for the Golden Bears in nearly six years.
"No matter what we do, we have to guard," Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. "If we guard, good things will happen. That is now becoming an identity. It wasn't an identity earlier."
Aziz N'Diaye finished with 12 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks. He dominated on both ends of the court during the big first-half run that put Washington (8-5, 2-0 Pac-12) in control.
The Huskies lost at home to Albany, Colorado State and Nevada early in the year. But things have changed since a players-only meeting after Christmas, with a tough loss at Connecticut and wins at Washington State and Cal (9-6, 1-2) to open conference play.
"We just talked about being aggressive on defense and making aggressive mistakes," guard Scott Suggs said. "We've been talking about that. We've made progress. The last two games, it's starting to show with wins."
Allen Crabbe, the leading scorer in the conference at 21.4 points per game, was held to nine points on 3 for 12 shooting for Cal against tough defense from Suggs and the Huskies. Crabbe did move up the all-time scoring charts at Cal, moving past Jorge Gutierrez and Ryan Anderson into 19th place on the school scoring list with 1,238 points.
"They did what teams do," Crabbe said. "It's nothing new. It's been happening all year; I just have to make plays. It's embarrassing to lose like that on your own floor."
David Kravish led the Bears with 14 points.
Washington is opening conference play with three straight road games for the fourth time in 70 years. The Huskies have a chance to come out of this stretch unbeaten in the Pac-12 if they can win at Stanford on Saturday.
Washington has won its first two conference games for the third straight year and tied the all-time series with Cal at 78 wins apiece. The Huskies were never threatened in the second half, leading by double digits for the final 25 minutes and holding Cal to its fewest points at Haas Pavilion since a 42-41 loss to Arizona State on March 3, 2007.
"Once we got down, we kind of caved a little bit," Cal coach Mike Montgomery said. "We caved to pressure and let them have their way with us."
The Bears played short-handed with backup guards Brandon Smith (concussion) and Ricky Kreklow (foot) sidelined with injuries. They also made a lineup switch, with senior Robert Thurman getting his first career start in place of Richard Solomon to get more size in the lineup.
But it proved to be no help against N'Diaye and the Huskies, who dominated the boards despite coming into the game ranked 10th in the conference in rebounding margin. Washington outrebounded Cal 48-33, including grabbing 20 offensive boards.
"The main thing with us on the road is we know we aren't going to shoot the ball well," Wilcox said. "We know we have to play aggressive defense and rebound as much as possible."
Cal kept it close for a bit as the game was tied at 18 midway through the first half before it quickly got out of hand. N'Diaye scored two baskets and set up two other scores with blocked shots during the big spurt that gave Washington a 16-point lead.
His block on Tyrone Wallace's shot led to a three-point play by Andrew Andrews that made it 27-18. The lead reached 16 points before Bak Bak's layup ended a run of more than 6 minutes without a basket and more than 4½minutes without points for the Golden Bears.
Even when Cal came up with a defensive stop, it didn't matter, as Washington dominated the glass. The Huskies got the rebound on 14 of their first 20 misses from the floor, leading to 11 second-chance points in the first half.
"We played with no heart, no passion," Kravish said. "We talked about offensive rebounds at halftime, after the game, before the game. You have to box out. It's a team game, and we didn't play well as a team."
The Bears couldn't do anything right in the half. They missed seven of 10 free throws, including front ends of one-and-ones by Crabbe and Justin Cobbs — who each entered the game hitting more than 85 percent of their foul shots.
Crabbe even missed a dunk when Wilcox contested him at the rim.

3.5 Hours after waking up to pressure waves…mom births her 9lb. baby!
Kerry – I want to thank you so much for developing Hypnobabies. I loved every part of it and am so happy that I discovered it during my second pregnancy (wish I had known about it earlier!) Now that my beautiful baby boy, Hudson, is a month old I wanted to share his birth story with you.
Hypnobabies® – Natural Childbirth at its best!
Join our Hypnobabies Community and receive 15% off of all Hypnobabies products!
My first son's birth had been rough – his birthing time was about 21 hours and it was a painful birth. My husband and doula were amazing, but my OB was not very natural birth supportive and I felt overwhelmed trying to navigate everything I was feeling at the time. This time around I felt like I had an amazing tool that not only had a positive impact on Hudson's birth but a positive impact on me throughout pregnancy.
A week before my guess date (Valentine's Day!) I woke up around 5:30 having pressure waves about 4-5 min. apart and lasting about 45 sec each–although some of them were shorter. I had been having pressure waves on and off for the past week so I wasn't sure if it was really "the day." I lay in bed timing the waves for a little bit and then called Jeff, my husband since he was two and a half hours away for work. I let him know that he should come up, but told him to take his time since I figured (based on my first son's birth) we were in for a long day.
Next, I called my doula and found out that she was at another birth; amazingly I didn't panic about this, thinking that by the time I needed her she would be on her way. When I called my midwife she told me I should probably head over to the hospital soon, but judging from my voice she didn't think I should rush over immediately. My doula had said the same thing – that it sounded like I had a while to go.
I listened to my Birthing Day Affirmations track, ate some toast with jam, and took a nice relaxing shower. My mom was over, the plan was for her to watch Gavin, my two-year-old, while we went to the hospital. I could tell she wanted to push for me to go to the hospital as soon as possible, but she let me do my thing. I give her a lot of credit for that! When she had me she barely made it to the hospital and she kept thinking the same would happen to me. The waves were gaining in intensity, but they were not overwhelming and I continued to easily handle them. We made arrangements to drop Gavin off at a friend's house and got in the car. I had my headphones on the whole time – mainly listening to the affirmations and creating anesthesia tracks.
On the way to the hospital, the waves started getting much stronger and I started vomiting (thank God I had something to catch it in so it didn't get all over my mom's car!) – That's when I started realizing that I was further along than I had originally thought. I couldn't wait to get to the hospital so I could get in the tub. I had planned on spending much of my birthing time in the water and hoped for a water birth.
Right, when I walked in the hospital lobby I had a huge wave and dropped to all fours—that position just felt right and helped me get through that wave. Everyone in the lobby surrounded me and kept asking if I was ok and trying to get me up, I was just holding up my hand saying, "give me one second I'm fine – just about to have a baby." When I got up they had a wheelchair and wheeled me right up to the room – I could hardly sit on that chair just wanted to get in the room and be by myself.
The nurses were great – they left me alone at first. They started filling up the tub and I just sat in the bathroom in the dark to gather my thoughts and be alone for a few minutes.
My doctor came in the room to check me, and I was positive she was going to say I was only 3 cm and she says "yes, you are at 8." I must have asked her to repeat that two more times, I was in shock. Whenever I did my Visualizing Your Birth CD during my pregnancy I had always imagined getting to the hospital at 7 or 8 cm. But, consciously I never really thought it could really happen! I didn't even have time to get in the tub. Ten minutes later it was time to push. At first, I couldn't quite wrap my head around the fact that it was already time; my husband wasn't even there yet! I knew he was going to miss the birth, but Hudson was ready to come. During Gavin's birth, I had pushed for over two hours; Hudson came in about 5 pushes. I remember my mom holding my leg during one of the first pushes with this huge smile on her face, "I can see his head!" My mom was such amazing support (even after my water broke all over her feet!) especially since she had not planned on being there. But, I can't imagine Hudson's birth having happened without her.
Actually being able to feel the urge to push this time was amazing– everything actually made sense. After having an epidural the first time I felt like I never understood how to push. But this time my body told me what to do. We didn't have time to put on the Pushing Baby Out track and I never went over the Hypnobabies cues with my mom, but I had the cues in my head and just kept trying to go back to them. Everything went so fast; I can't even explain the wondrous sensations I felt physically and mentally feeling Hudson be born. His face was all bruised and blue at first, but soon he started making his first sounds and looking all around with his big brown eyes. Hudson was born at 8:53 a.m. A little under 3 ½ hours from when I woke up and less than an hour from arriving at the hospital! What a difference from twenty-one hours the first time! About 20 min. later my husband walked in the room and did a complete double take seeing his baby boy already here!
I think I must have been having birthing waves in my sleep that night and just slept through them. I credit Hypnobabies with the fact that I was so relaxed when I woke up; I know that it helped my body to relax and work quickly. I was so confident in myself this time.
Hudson was a healthy 9 lbs, 1oz! A big baby born naturally 🙂

Fiat and Chrysler may be growing closer in the boardroom, but the companies are showing very different convertibles for the U.S. market at the New York Auto Show.
Fiat said Thursday that it will buy a 16 percent share of Chrysler for $1.3 billion as part of its goal of taking a majority stake in the U.S. automaker. Fiat expects to gain another 5 percent, for a majority 51-percent share, by the end of the year.
At the show, Fiat and Chrysler were showing two new convertibles just feet away from each other. The Fiat 500 cabrio is stylish, European and tiny, the Chrysler 200S is more substantial, luxurious and "imported from Detroit," according to the tagline in Chrysler's ads. Here's the rundown:
UNDER THE HOOD: The Fiat 500 cabrio has a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that gets 101 horsepower and up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway with a manual transmission. The 200S has a new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with 283 horsepower and 29 miles per gallon on the highway.
INSIDE: The 200S has special design elements to mark it as an S model, including a distinctive front grille, body color mirrors and door handles, 18-inch wheels, suede accents on the seats and doors and an embroidered "S" on the front head rests. It doesn't have the Dr. Dre-designed stereo system unveiled Wednesday on the flagship 300S, but it does have upgraded audio. The 500 cabrio continues Fiat's emphasis on personalization with 12 possible seat colors and three color options for the ragtop: black, red or tan.
PRICE TAGS: The Fiat 500 cabrio will be the least expensive four-seat convertible on the market, with a starting price of $19,500. That's $4,000 more than the starting price of a regular 500. The 200S starts at $32,490, or $6,045 more than a regular 200 convertible. Both convertibles go on sale this spring.
CHEERS: The Fiat 500 and the Chrysler 200S meet a need for lower-priced convertibles just as the summer driving season begins. The 500 has the added bonus of superior fuel economy as gas prices spike. Fiat's North American chief, Laura Soave, said Fiat initially expected that 10 percent of 500 sales would be convertibles, but is revising that upward after a lot of positive response from consumers.
JEERS: The 200S convertible's price tag is approaching the price of a BMW 1-Series convertible. Customers may not think it's worth it to lay out that much more for the S designation.

If the government as established under the Articles had so many successes how did it end up being replaced by the government as established under the Constitution?
There were some perceived and actual weaknesses of the government as established under the Articles of Confederation:
· The national government was too weak as compared to the State governments.
· There was only a unicameral legislature and thus there was not a separate executive department to carry out and enforce the acts of Congress.
· There was no national court system to interpret the meaning of the laws passed by Congress leaving them open to differing interpretations.
· .Congress didn't have the power to levy taxes. It was instead dependent on State donations, which were levied on the basis of the value of land within the various states.
· Congress did not have the exclusive right to coin money. Each state retained the right to coin money. Without a uniform monetary system the coins of one state might not be accepted in another, hampering commerce.
· There was no mechanism to adjudicate disputes between the states.
· The Individual States were not precluded from having their own foreign policies including the right to make treaties.
· Each State had one vote in Congress with no respect to size or population.
· It required nine out of the thirteen states to approve the passage of major laws, approve treaties, or declare war.
· The amendment process was cumbersome requiring a unanimous vote.
Some of these weaknesses caused actual problems during the Articles short tenure, and some were merely perceived as possible sources of problems in the future.
So how did we get from the Articles of Confederation to the Constitution?
It was commerce that proved to be the catalyst for the transition between the Articles and the Constitution.Disputes concerning navigation on the Potomac River between
The Convention had been authorized by Congress merely to draft proposals for amendments to the Articles of Confederation. However, as soon as it convened they decided on their own to throw the Articles aside and instead create a completely new form of government.
Was the writing of the Constitution legal? Who gave the Federal Convention authority to discard the Articles of Confederation which had been duly ratified by all thirteen States? Was this a counterrevolution?
The answers to these questions have been debated by historians and constitutional scholars for hundreds of years, but in reality the answers are moot. Whether the Federal Convention had any legal sanction to do what they did doesn't matter. The action was eventually accepted by the Congress, the ratification conventions were held in the various States, and eventually it was ratified becoming the supreme law of the land.
Now we are ready to look at the Great Debate between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists.
First, what about the terms, "Federalist" and "Anti-Federalist" how appropriate were they during the debate?
New Speak is nothing new in politics, and the concept of words having power to shape reality was not invented by George Orwell. Look at the original debate of the ratification of the Constitution, and as a consequence how we have studied, learned, and even shaped the debate in this lecture concerning the ratification of the Constitution.
Think about the central term itself. Federalism refers to decentralized government. Those who supported the Constitution, who advocated that it replace the Articles of Confederation, which if nothing else established a decentralized system of government, called themselves "Federalists," even though they wanted a more centralized government. This left the supporters of the Articles, who wanted a decentralized government, to be known then and forever as the "Anti-Federalists," when in fact they were the true Federalists.
So much for the straight forward clarity of Historical fact, everything must be examined and everything interpreted.
In the study of the debate for the ratification of the Constitution a common mistake made is the shallowness of the study. In a good school the average student will be exposed to perhaps two of the Federalist Letters and none of the Anti-Federalist Letters, which is like trying to understand an answer without knowing what the question was. In this abbreviated look at the subject we will look at both sides in general seeking instead an overview of the topic leaving the specifics to a personal study, which will without a doubt enrich the understanding of any who find the motivation for such an endeavor.
The Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers were actually published as newspaper articles for the general public. This in itself tells us much about the comparative state of public education and awareness between the American general public in the late Eighteenth Century and the early Twenty-first. When we examine the two sets of papers and dwell upon the vocabulary and the breadth and depth of the philosophical, political, and economical ideas expressed we are immediately struck by the fact that the average person in
Next week we will look deeper into these two sets of documents that have had such a profound effect upon America and find out exactly who the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists were and why does it matter to us today?

A New York man held an 81-year-old Navy veteran captive for four years, starving and beating him, in order to steal his pension checks for drugs, authorities say.
Perry Coniglio, 43, was arrested in Orange County Wednesday on multiple charges, including unlawful imprisonment, endangerment of an incompetent person, grand larceny and criminal possession of a weapon.
Highland Falls police said Coniglio, a motel handyman, held former U.S. Navy veteran David McClellan captive for four years at the U.S. Academy Motel, near West Point.
Police said they had gotten complaints for years that Coniglio, who was posing as the victim's caretaker, was verbally abusing the elderly man. But when video surfaced that it turned more physical, they raided the motel Tuesday night.
"That of course elevated our concern for the well-being of the victim yesterday, so last night we moved in and took Coniglio into custody," said Highlands Police Det. Joseph Cornetta.
McClellan was taken to the hospital and is in the care of adult protective services.
Coniglio allegedly cashed the victim's pension checks and cleared out his bank accounts over the years.
Attorney information for Coniglio wasn't immediately available.

Google on Monday released the source code for the latest version of its Android operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich. This build of Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.1) is the same version that will ship on the first ICS device, Samsung's Galaxy Nexus, and it is of course free for developers to donwload. A number of vendors including Motorola have indicated that they would announce preliminary details regarding Android 4 updated schedules following the official release of the operating system's source code, so we should see details begin to trickle out soon. The Galaxy Nexus is expected to launch later this month as a Verizon Wireless exclusive in the U.S., and a firm launch date will likely be announced soon now that Ice Cream Sandwich has been released.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in

Home > God
Note: This article continues a series of studies about Jesus' Deity: His names, character, works, and honor. If you have not read the previous articles, then please click here to start at the beginning.
Just as only God deserves to wear certain unique names, possesses certain unique characteristics, and do certain unique works, so there are certain unique forms of worship and honor that belong only to God. Because God created and rules the whole creation, it follows that all created things must honor and worship Him. No man or other created being may rightly receive such worship. To give such honor to men or created beings constitutes blasphemy or idolatry.
The New Testament word for worship (proskuneo) means to do obeisance, reverence, or acts of homage (see Thayer, Vine, and Arndt & Gingrich). This word is often used to describe men worshiping God: John 4:20-24; Revelation 4:10; 7:11; 11:16; 14:7; 19:4; 15:4; 1 Corinthians 14:25.
Many verses forbid worshiping men, angels, or any created thing.
Acts 10:25,26 - Cornelius fell down to worship Peter. Peter forbade it saying that he himself was just a man. God deserves worship, but men do not. (Cf. Acts 12:20-23; 14:8-18.)
Revelation 22:8,9; 19:10 - John sought to worship the angel, but the angel forbade it because he was a "fellow servant." "Worship God."
Romans 1:25 - People who worship and serve created things, rather than the Creator, have left the truth of God.
To worship any created thing - whether man, angel, heavenly body, or some other object in nature (mountain, ocean, etc.) - constitutes idolatry.
Only the true God deserves to be worshipped.
Matthew 4:9,10 - Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.
Revelation 9:20 - Idolatry is forbidden because it constitutes worship of someone other than God (Exodus 20:3-6; Deuteronomy 6:13-15; Revelation 14:9-11). [See also Exodus 34:14]
Note: proskunew is forbidden when used for obeisance to men from a spiritual or religious motivation or purpose. The word is sometimes (but rarely) used in the New Testament non-religiously to refer to bowing in obeisance to a king, master, or other person in authority (see Matthew 18:26 - this usage is more common in the Old Testament).
When used for religious honor, however, worship is forbidden toward any except God. In this sense, "worship" is like "lord," "father," "master," etc. The words may be acceptably used for earthly, physical relationships (Ephesians 6:1-9; Colossians 3:21,22), but we are forbidden to use such as religious honor to men or created things (Matthew 23:8-12). [On Revelation 3:9, cf. to 1 Corinthians 14:25]
The concept of Deity distinguishes the Creator from the creature. Things which are created do not have the unique characteristics of God, do not do the unique works of God, and therefore should not be addressed by the unique names of God nor should they be worshipped.
He was often worshipped while He appeared on earth before His resurrection.
Matthew 8:2 - A leper came and worshipped Jesus. [9:18; 15:25; Mark 5:6]
Matthew 14:33 - After Jesus had calmed the storm, the disciples worshipped Him saying He was the Son of God.
John 9:38 - After Jesus had healed the blind man, He revealed Himself to be the Son of God (v35). The man said he believed, and he worshipped Jesus.
Note that such religious worship would have been blasphemy and should have been forbidden as it was in the case of Peter, the angel, etc., if Jesus had been just a man on earth.
Created beings also worship Him after His resurrection.
Matthew 28:9,17 - After His resurrection, His disciples worshipped Him. [Cf. John 20:28,29]
Luke 24:52 - Even after He had ascended back to heaven, they worshipped Him.
Hebrews 1:6 - Angels are instructed by God to worship Jesus.
Note that men were rebuked for worshipping men, angels, or created beings, but they were never rebuked for worshipping Jesus. Angels are even instructed by the Father to worship Jesus. The context of the above passages cannot fit the idea of obeisance to an earthly king or ruler. They refer to honoring Jesus as a religious authority - the very thing forbidden when offered to Peter, angels, etc.
Hence, Jesus accepted worship as an act of religious honor. The Scriptures, including Jesus' own teachings, would absolutely forbid this unless He possesses true Deity.
"Glory" (doxa) means "...praise, honor ... magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, grace ... majesty" - Grimm-Wilke-Thayer.
"Honor" (timh) means "...honor which belongs or is shown to one; the honor of one who outranks others, pre-eminence ... veneration ... deference, reverence..." - Grimm-Wilke-Thayer.
Like the words "power" and "wisdom," both these words can properly be used to refer to men in the physical realm (Matthew 6:29; 1 Peter 1:24). But they are also used to describe a special degree of glory which no one but God can possess.
Psalm 24:7-10 - Jehovah is the "King of glory."
Psalm 29:3 - He is the "God of glory." [Acts 7:2; cf. Isaiah 60:19; Galatians 1:5; etc.]
Revelation 4:9-11 - God deserves this glory because He created all things. Note again the distinction between the creature and the Creator. [Revelation 5:13; Romans 11:36]
Isaiah 42:8; 48:11 - This glory is unique to God in that He refuses to share it with anyone else. Idols and created things have no right to receive this glory.
It follows that it would be blasphemy for anyone but God to receive this unique kind of glory. If anyone does receive this glory with God's approval, then that one must possess Deity.
John 5:23 - All men should honor the Son "just as" they honor the Father. To fail to give this honor to the Son is to fail to properly honor the Father.
"Just as" (kathos) is translated "even as" in KJV, ASV, NASB, RSV (cf. Thayer and Arndt & Gingrich). Other examples of its use in comparisons is found in Luke 6:31; 11:30; 17:26; John 3:14; 2 Corinthians 10:7; Colossians 3:13; etc.
The significance of the word, when used in comparisons, is that one item or action is just like the other regarding the aspect in which they are being compared. Hence Jesus rightly receives honor just like the honor the Father receives. And if we refuse to give such honor to the Son, then we are refusing to honor the Father!
John 17:5 - Jesus prayed to the Father to "glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was" (NKJV, cf. NASB, NEB; others are similar - ASV, KJV). Jesus asks to be glorified together with the Father with the glory He possessed "with" (para) the Father from eternity.
The clear implication is that Jesus and the Father both possessed the same glory before the world began. Jesus, in coming to earth as a servant, did not then appear to possess that glory but appeared as a man (this is part of what he gave up on coming to earth - Philippians 2:6-8). But having nearly completed His work on earth (John 17:4) and being ready to ascend to the Father, Jesus anticipated receiving this glory again (Philippians 2:9-11).
However, we have already learned that no one but God can receive the glory God has (Isaiah 42:8; 48:11). Jesus did receive that glory with the approval of the Father. Therefore, Jesus possesses Deity.
Revelation 5:12-14 - Both the Father and the Lamb (Jesus) were praised by the created things, who attributed to them "blessing and honor and glory and power." Note that the same glory and honor belongs to both Father and Son.
Hebrews 1:3 - Jesus is the brightness of the Father's glory (or the effulgence or radiance of His glory). That glory which shines from the Father also shines from Jesus because He is the creator (v2), upholds all things (v3), and is the express image of God (v3).
1 Corinthians 2:8; James 2:1 - Jesus is called the "Lord of glory," just as God in the Old Testament is called the "King of glory" (Psalm 24:7-10).
Note that the glory Jesus possesses is not just the glory possessed by men or angels. His glory is above that of angels (Hebrews 1:6,13). He is above all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named (Ephesians 1:21; Philippians 2:9-11). No created being possesses the glory and honor Jesus does.
We have seen, however, that Jesus deserves the glory, honor, and worship of Deity even as the Father does. God forbids this to be given to any but Deity, but Jesus does receive it. This would be blasphemy if Jesus were not God.
If Jesus is not Deity, then who is He? To understand God we must realize that God is not part of the created things. God is the Creator, separate and far above the creatures. This distinction is made again and again in the passages we have studied. Jesus must be classed on one side or the other. Either he is a created being or else He is Deity. To say He is not Deity is to say He is a created being. To say He is not a created being is to say He is Deity. There are no other alternatives.
Men are creatures; angels are creatures that are above men. But Jesus is above the angels and is not classed with them (Hebrews chap. 1 - see especially vv 5,6,13). We have seen that He is not an angel nor an exalted man, but the Bible attributes to Him that which can only be said of God. We have learned that:
* Jesus is expressly stated to be God or to possess Deity.
* Jesus is called by names that may only be used for God.
* Jesus possesses characteristics that only God can possess.
* Jesus does work that only God can do.
* Jesus deserves worship and honor that only God deserves.
In all these areas Jesus is described as the Creator, not a created being. He is eternal, has the power, and did the work of creation. He deserves honor as the Creator. Clearly He is not to be classed with the created things but with Deity.
But we have also proved that there is only one true God who made the universe. If Jesus is "god," He is not an idol nor a false god. Since He possesses Deity and there is only one true God, then He must possess true Deity, not some lesser form of deity. He must be included in the one true God or Godhead along with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Finally, if Jesus is God then He always has been God and always will be God, since God's unique nature cannot change (Hebrews 13:8). God cannot cease to be God nor can God lose the characteristics of God. He can take on non-Divine characteristics as Jesus added the characteristics of a man when He came to earth, and He can limit the use of His powers in order to accomplish His Divine purposes as Jesus did on earth. But He cannot cease to be God and He cannot lose the power and characteristics of God.
Jesus possesses Deity.

Jeg fandt denne lille test ovre hos Ella . Jeg falder ikke for ret mange af de der tests... men jeg måtte altså lige prøve denne. Og den sagde at:
Tina, you are Balanced-brained
That means you are able to draw on the strengths of both the right and left hemispheres of your brain, depending upon a given situation.
When you need to explain a complicated process to someone, or plan a detailed vacation, the left hemisphere of your brain, which is responsible for your ability to solve problems logically, might kick in. But if you were critiquing an art opening or coming up with an original way to file papers, the right side of your brain, which is responsible for noticing subtle details in things, might take over.
While many people have clearly dominant left- or right-brained tendencies, you are able to draw on skills from both hemispheres of your brain. This rare combination makes you a very creative and flexible thinker.
The down side to being balanced-brained is that you may sometimes feel paralyzed by indecision when the two hemispheres of your brain are competing to solve a problem in their own unique ways.

Former Bush Admin Official Verifies Crazy Lefty Conspiracy Theory
No, 9/11 was not an inside job (but BUSH KNEW!), but inaugural Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge just wrote a bitchy tell-all, and he makes some crazy claims.
Ridge was never invited to sit in on National Security Council meetings; was "blindsided" by the FBI in morning Oval Office meetings because the agency withheld critical information from him; found his urgings to block Michael Brown from being named head of the emergency agency blamed for the Hurricane Katrina disaster ignored; and was pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush's re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over.
Come on, Tom. Michael Brown was just a symptom of an administration too concerned with exaggerated foreign threats to give a shit about domestic emergency preparedness and too opposed to career civil service to staff FEMA with people who knew what they were doing. He was not actually personally responsible for Katrina, and unless Tom's claiming that Brown's presence alone was the reason why Ridge, as head of the department in charge of FEMA, never bothered to make emergency response a departmental priority that "revelation" is just long-after-the-fact ass-covering.
Oh, but the other thing, about changing the terror alert right before the 2004 election? We believe that one.

Pound writes that "one who is to practise law absolutely must" be able to
stand up manfully to judges who are often tired and impatient, sometimes fussy and nervous, and, unhappily, sometimes tyrannical, and make one's points respectfully and firmly and assuredly in the face of a pretty severe fire of questions. Our classroom exercises, if the student takes them aright, are the best preparation in the world for this. Nerves and sensitiveness have no place in the forum. The sooner the law student stops thinking about himself and comes to think about the concrete questions of law presented to him the better.

MACDONALD, Sir HUGH JOHN, lawyer, militia officer, politician, and police magistrate; b. 13 March 1850 in Kingston, Upper Canada, only surviving son of John A. Macdonald* and Isabella Clark; m. first 1 June 1876 Mary Jean King, née Murray (d. 1881), and they had a daughter; m. secondly 23 April 1883 Agnes Gertrude Vankoughnet in Toronto, and they had a son who died young; d. 29 March 1929 in Winnipeg.
Hugh Macdonald grew up in Kingston and in Toronto, where his family moved in 1856. His father, who had become attorney general of the province two years earlier, was frequently absent. Following the death of his mother in 1857 he returned to Kingston and spent his formative years in the care of his father's sister Margaret and her husband, the Reverend James Williamson*. A Presbyterian minister and professor at Queen's College, Williamson imparted to Hugh a ritual anti-Catholicism and he instilled in him a streak of intolerance which was missing in his father. Hugh would keep these views to himself, revealing them only rarely in private correspondence with Williamson.
Macdonald was educated at the Queen's College School in Kingston and at the University of Toronto, from which he graduated ba in 1869. He then studied law, first in Ottawa and later with Robert Alexander Harrison* in Toronto. After he was called to the bar in 1872, he practised, usually in partnership with his father, in Toronto and Kingston.
At an early age Macdonald had shown an interest in the militia and he saw active service on three occasions. He spent the summer of 1866 with the 14th Battalion Volunteer Militia Rifles near Cornwall in anticipation of a Fenian invasion. In 1870 he joined the expedition of Colonel Garnet Joseph Wolseley* and made the trek to the Red River settlement (Man.) as an ensign in the 16th Company of the 1st (Ontario) Battalion of Rifles. During the North-West rebellion in 1885 [see Louis Riel*] he would serve as lieutenant in the 90th (Winnipeg) Battalion of Rifles, a unit he helped to organize. He saw action at Fish Creek (Sask.).
In 1882 Macdonald moved to Winnipeg, perhaps for personal reasons after the death of his first wife or because of the possibilities the west offered to well-connected lawyers. For the next 30 years he practised there in partnership with James Stewart Tupper, a son of his father's colleague Sir Charles Tupper*, and with a variety of others. He would be named a qc in 1890. Throughout the 1880s he was an informal agent in Manitoba for his father, now prime minister of Canada. During the 1890s he took a more active part in both national and provincial politics. In the federal general election of 1891 he reluctantly accepted the Conservative nomination in Winnipeg and he won the constituency with a majority of 500 votes. Up to that time he had been known as Hugh and signed Hugh J. During the campaign, newspaper advertisements referred to him as Hugh John (thus emphasizing the link to his father) and he was known by those names ever after. He resigned his seat on 4 May 1893. Although he claimed the primary reason for his resignation was financial, there were several others. One was his shy and retiring nature combined with a distaste for public life. A second was his determination to elude the shadow of his illustrious father. Equally important were his views on important issues facing the federal Conservative government. He had supported the laws the provincial Liberal government of Thomas Greenway* had passed abolishing the official use of the French language and ending public support for denominational schools. He thus opposed the federal government's commitment to redress the injuries suffered by the Catholic minority in Manitoba.
In late 1894 Macdonald declined the entreaties of Prime Minister Mackenzie Bowell* that he return to political life in the interests of the Conservative party. Two years later, however, he acceded to a similar request from Prime Minister Sir Charles Tupper. What enabled Tupper to succeed where Bowell had failed was his own insistence, the efforts of his son James Stewart, and Macdonald's own respect for the prime minister. On 1 May 1896 Macdonald joined the short-lived Tupper government as minister of the interior and superintendent general of Indian affairs. In the federal general election held in June he again won in Winnipeg, but he resigned his government posts with Tupper in July and was unseated by judicial decision the following year after a formal protest by his opponent, Joseph Martin. He did not contest the ensuing by-election. After the election of June 1896, an element in the Conservative party regarded him as a possible future leader.
In March 1897 Macdonald took on the leadership of the Manitoba Conservatives. The party hierarchy, local and federal, arranged this move, perhaps to give him political experience and to keep him in the public eye. In the provincial election of 7 Dec. 1899 he led the party to a narrow victory and won by 60 votes in his own riding of Winnipeg South. In its first year his administration enacted laws to tax corporations, reform the franchise, and reduce expenditures. The most important legislation was the Liquor Act drafted by James Albert Manning Aikins to outlaw the sale of intoxicating beverages.
At the end of his first legislative session Macdonald resigned as premier and as a member of the assembly. He had done his part for the provincial Conservatives, many of whom wished him to make way for the return of Rodmond Palen Roblin* as party leader. At the same time, the federal party thought he had more use in their sphere. Tupper and Roblin, among others, persuaded him to contest Brandon in the federal general election of 1900, apparently believing that the incumbent, Clifford Sifton, was vulnerable. In 1899 Conservatives had won 9 of the 12 provincial seats in Sifton's federal riding and their organization hoped that with the right candidate they could be successful again. The federal Tories also thought that a contest against Sifton would test Macdonald's leadership potential. Sifton won Brandon with a decisive majority, however, and Macdonald withdrew from public life again.
For the next decade, Macdonald practised law. Then, in December 1911 the Roblin government appointed him Winnipeg's police magistrate, a position he would hold for the remainder of his life. On 11 June 1913 he was made a knight bachelor. Two years later he was a member of the commission chaired by judge Thomas Graham Mathers which investigated charges of financial irregularities in the construction of Manitoba's legislative buildings. The commission unanimously found Roblin and several of his colleagues guilty of conspiracy to defraud the province. During the labour unrest of 1917–18, Macdonald opposed the unionization of the police force and stood in the front line of reaction during the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 [see Mike Sokolowiski*]. In its aftermath he favoured the wholesale deportation of "undesirable aliens." He survived the amputation of a leg in 1927, but two years later he would not consent to a second amputation. Infection led to his death on 29 March 1929.
As a politician, Hugh John Macdonald was of only secondary importance. His principal value lay in the surname he had inherited. Ironically, he had grown up apart from his father and thus did not share the tolerant views long associated with the Macdonald name. When the Conservative party called on the Old Chieftain's heir, it found not another John A. but a second James Williamson. Throughout his life he had tried in vain to escape the comparisons to his father. In the end, his loyalty to the party and to the memory of his father overcame his natural aversion to public life, with consequences which were often not in his own best interests. In his public careers his sometimes romantic, often meticulous, and always courteous manner contributed to the popular affection he enjoyed.

At the moment, national polls show Herman Cain leading or tied for the lead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. This, despite the fact that he has never won an election, has never held public office (except on a regional Federal Reserve advisory panel), and has shown prodigious ignorance on some important foreign policy and domestic issues.
We in the punditocracy have been attributing Cain's lead to many conservatives' resistance to frequent frontrunner Mitt Romney. Many have described Cain as the flavor of the month and have predicted his numbers will collapse, as Michele Bachmann's and Rick Perry's have.
Reasonable analysis, as far as it goes. But I think Cain's current lead is evidence of a larger and longer-range trend that is both heartening and disturbing.
I call it the revolt against the experts.
It has been going on for a long time. In the years after World War II, when pollsters first started testing confidence in leaders and institutions, mid-century Americans expressed great confidence and respect for experts and those at the head of large organizations.
This was an unsurprising result, since the leaders of big government, big business and big labor had produced a glorious victory in World War II and then seemed to produce postwar prosperity when almost everyone expected a return to depression.
Confidence in leaders and respect for expertise fell in the years that gave us the Vietnam War, Watergate and stagflation. They're at a low point now, after years in which experts seemed to fail in Iraq and at home.
Consider Iraq. The generals George W. Bush put in charge seemed superbly fitted for the job. John Abizaid had plentiful experience in the Middle East and was fluent in Arabic. George Casey had extensive experience and great talents.
But they failed to produce a winning strategy. And by the time David Petraeus, an expert on counterinsurgency, did, the media and the public weren't much interested in Iraq anymore.
Or consider financial regulation. Bush appointed and Barack Obama retained Ben Bernanke as chairman of the Federal Reserve. It is generally agreed that Bernanke knows more about the depression of the 1930s than anyone else on earth.
At Treasury, Bush and Obama also installed experts. Henry Paulson had been CEO of Goldman Sachs, the most successful investment bank. Timothy Geithner had headed the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It's hard to conceive of any other two other individuals who knew more about finance and Wall Street.
Yet it's plain in retrospect that they made serious mistakes. They erred either in bailing out Bear Stearns in March 2008 (my view) or in declining to bail out Lehman Brothers in September 2008.
Amid the financial turmoil after Lehman collapsed, it was clear that even these experts didn't know what to do. They oscillated from one policy to another, making it up as they went along. Not all their decisions were wrong, but the current economic recovery is agonizingly sluggish.
You can certainly argue that Iraq and the financial crisis posed unique and unprecedented challenges. It was probably impossible to get everything right. But the fact is that people we had every reason to regard as the greatest experts failed to get anything close to optimal results.
In that context, it's easier to see why voters seem to have little respect for expertise.
In the 2008 electoral cycle, Democratic primary voters, caucus-goers and super-delegates chose a candidate with minimal experience in either foreign or domestic policy and no executive experience at all. But Barack Obama seemed to have other strengths. In the financial crisis, he was no more than a helpful bystander. But he zoomed ahead of John McCain in the polls and was elected.
Now Republicans are zooming from one low-expertise candidate to another. Bachmann has never run anything but a small business. Cain ran a pizza company and lost an election for senator. Perry showed little interest in national issues in his first 10 years as governor of Texas.
Romney's years in private equity and one term as governor of Massachusetts give him an edge in expertise over the present field. But his experience is thin next to contenders in the past. It's off-putting to watch what a low value voters put on expertise. But that's what happens when experts blow it one time after another.

Here's an image I shot at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts on Saturday morning as I was heading to the annual San Francisco St. Patrick's Day parade. The whole Yerba Buena Center complex is a photographers delight – chock full of interesting people, some amazing textures, waterfalls, trees and lawn – you name it, it's all here in a bit less than a city block!
For the last several years, my primary camera has been a Canon 5D Mark II DSLR. It's a wonderful camera and has done an amazing job for me. I've got a collection of Canon prime and zoom lenses for that camera that work beautifully and have helped me capture some beautiful images. I have lots of wonderful memories of trips to venues around the west with my Canon! (Check out my Cool Tools page for details on my favorite gear!)
In January, Doug Kaye and I headed to Havana, Cuba to participate in a person-to-person cultural exchange program organized by the great folks at Santa Fe Photographic Workshops. Along with our workshop colleagues, we had an amazing week in Havana – and I had a blast getting into the world of street photography which was pretty much a new experience for me.
A few months before the Cuba trip, I bought a new Nikon D600 – shortly after this new camera body was introduced. In particular, I was interested because of the early reviews and reports about the D600's Sony sensor – and its wider dynamic range. Dynamic range describes the range of the camera's sensor in accurately capturing whites to blacks – and the D600 ranked very highly at being able to capture one of the widest dynamic ranges. For a lot of my kind of photography, that dynamic range is important – so I opted to get the D600. I was also stimulated by my friend Doug Kaye's Nikon passion and the fact that on many of the photo shoots we do together he brings along his wide assortment of Nikon lenses!
For the Havana trip, I mostly shot with the D600 kit lens – Nikon's 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom lens – and it did a fabulous job. I mostly left the D600 on auto everything (ISO, Focus, P mode, etc.) and just shot away. I got some great shots – the camera did an wonderful job.
Recently, I decided to get the Nikon lens that seems to be everyone's favorite for street photography on Nikon DSLR camera bodies – the Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens. On Saturday, I took this one lens up to San Francisco to shoot the annual San Francisco St. Patrick's Day parade and, along the way, snapped this self-portrait image in the window at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. This is a great lens for street photography – the combination of its ability to go reasonably wide along with its ability to do a long zoom make for a near perfect lens for daytime street photography. Here's another example of using the reach of this lens.
I'm still trying to master the autofocus options on my D600 – especially for street photography. The "double vision" in this image has nothing to do with those – it's just the glass! – but I'm convinced that once I master those the D600 and this 28-300mm lens with be my ideal street photography rig. I'm anxious to do more exploring with it!

As endurance athletes know, training and life don't always mix.
Lack of time is the most commonly cited excuse for not exercising. But surveys suggest that those who exercise regularly are just as busy with their jobs, families and other responsibilities as those who don't work out. So the time excuse is just that: an excuse.
Yet time is a challenge for most endurance athletes. Run training is a time-consuming pursuit, and our lives are busier than ever these days. So while it might not be hard to find time to get some exercise daily, finding time to train as much was we would like to train is difficult. Use the following tips to better fit your training into your hectic life.
We're all pressed for time, yet we all have time for our highest priorities. Before you take any other measures to fit your training into your life, consider how important it is to you. What sacrifices are you willing to make for the sake of your training, and what sacrifices are you not willing to make? There are no right and wrong answers to these questions — there are only your answers.
The chief objective of this exercise is to identify activities in your typical day or week that are not as important as your training time, so you can cut back on or eliminate them. For example, perhaps all that cooking has gotten to be more trouble than it's worth, and it's time to rely more on healthy prepared meals. Or maybe your Rotary Club membership can wait until running itself becomes a lower priority for you.
Make A Schedule
Sit down and write out what you do and when you do it in a typical workday. Look for any waste or excess that can be addressed to create more training time. Suppose your schedule reveals that you currently watch two hours of TV in the evening. Why not cut that back to 90 minutes and squeeze in a 30-minute workout?
Create a new schedule with the waste and excess cut out and the extra training time added, and then stick to it!
Be Consistent
Consistency is the most important characteristic of an effective training regimen. So if you don't always have time for what you consider a "full workout" every day, then at least try to do more than nothing every day. Many runners mistakenly believe that a 20-minute workout is not worth the bother, but it is, especially if you crank up the intensity or use the time to work on an otherwise neglected aspect of your fitness (technique, strength, etc.).
Save the big workouts for weekends or other days when you have less clock pressure, and on the other days, just do something.
Get creative
Endurance athletes have found many creative ways to fit training into a tight schedule. Ride your bike to work. Invest in a treadmill and run on it in the evening while your kids play nearby. Take the family to the lake or pool and swim while your spouse watches the kids, then switch places and let your spouse have his or her turn.
You know what they say: Where there's a will, there's a way!
Create An Understanding With Your Mate
Time spent training can be a major conflict issue in couples where one member is an endurance athlete and the other is not. As with every potential source of conflict in a relationship, the best ways to minimize spousal training time resentment are communication and compromise.
Sit down with your mate and talk openly about the time you spend on your training. Let him or her know that spending quality time together and working out are both important to you, and you wish to balance the two in a way that makes you both happy. Describe your idea of a fair balance and then invite your mate to describe his or hers. Be willing to give a little and don't shy away from asking your mate to give a little too.
The result of this process will be a mutually agreed upon set of expectations that will prevent conflict in the future.
Take A Seasonal Approach
There is no need to train at peak levels year-round. You can have great success as a runner by training hard for six months each year (mid-spring to mid-autumn) and doing low-key maintenance training the rest of the year. In the offseason you can devote the time that is freed up by your reduced training load to other priorities that are neglected somewhat during the other half of the year.
By the same token, devoting extra time to these other priorities during the offseason will enable you to put training first without guilt or consequence in the warmer months.
Focus On Quality
Most runners can get more out of the time they're already spending on race preparation programs. So before you even look for ways to increase the quantity of your training, first increase its quality. A high-quality training program is well-rounded. Runners often make the mistake of doing too many similar workouts. Typically, they do a lot of prolonged, steady, moderate-paced aerobic training and not enough threshold work, speed intervals, technique work and/or resistance training (e.g. hill repetitions).
Balance is an essential characteristic of effective endurance training. It's also an essential characteristic of a healthy lifestyle. I hope these tips will help you better balance your training and the rest of your life.

Roach: Pacquiao would fight Mayweather right-handed
Southpaw WBO welterweight titleholder Manny Pacquiao would fight WBC welerweight and WBA junior middleweight beltholder Floyd Mayweather Jr. "right-handed if it would bring Floyd into the ring," Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, quipped on Tuesday.
"Would Manny beat Floyd? You bet. The way to beat Floyd is to outwork him every minute of every round. Manny is the only fighter capable of executing that game plan," said Roach, who is working with Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 knockouts) at his Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, Calif., in preparation for the June 9 fight against Tim Bradley (28-0, 12 KOs).
"Activity kills Mayweather. You need to stay busy against him and not let him dictate the pace by slowing down the fight. Southpaws are his other weakness. Manny is just a bad combination for Floyd to fight. If it would bring Floyd into the ring, I'd agree to have Manny fight him right-handed."
Pacquiao takes a 15-bout winning streak that includes eight stoppages into his clash with Bradley, whom he will face on HBO Pay Per View at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao said that he watched Mayweather (43-0, 26 KOs) earn his eighth belt in five weight classes by scoring this past Saturday night's unanimous decision over Miguel Cotto to earn the WBA junior middleweight title.
Mayweather's victory ended a wining streak of three straight knockouts by Cotto, who last suffered defeat by 12th-round knockout against Pacquiao in November of 2009.
"I saw the Mayweather-Cotto fight. It was a good fight and everyone was happy. I have no opinion on Mayweather's plans to retire. That's his decision. A very personal decision. I'm glad to be back at Freddie's gym. I have no plans to retire," said Pacquiao.
"I still love what I'm doing. Freddie and I had a good camp in the Philippines and we are ready to work very hard in preparation for Timothy Bradley. Bradley is strong, undefeated and young. I have a great deal of respect for his talents and his accomplishments."
Mayweather is scheduled to begin serving a 90-day jail sentence for a domestic violence case involving an attack on his ex-girlfriend while two of their children watched in September 2010.
"I did not see the Mayweather-Cotto fight," said Roach. "But I do know that Floyd's slippery defense is now better outside the ring than inside the ring. But that is the path he has chosen."
Pacquiao landed in Los Angeles on Saturday night from Baguio, Philipines, to continue his preparation for Bradley.
"We are on a steady pace to get Manny to where he will peak on June 9. We built a good base to build on in our training in the Philippines," said Roach.
"Now it's time for the hard work and the strategy. We had a good session today. Manny went a strong 10 rounds with me today on the mitts. He'll sleep good tonight."
