Exodus 29:1-30
Chapter 29 is a long chapter, and at first glance not very interesting and thrilling as the previous chapters. I am confident, however, that the Spirit of God wants to use it to minister to us. Exodus is God's A-B-C Book for us and it contains spiritual lessons in every verse.
The rituals and ceremonies of the OT are fulfilled in Christ, which helps us to understand the significance of NT theology. Usually the NT writers take for granted that we understand the significance of ceremonies and rituals of the OT. Rarely, are the A-B-C's explained. What we are told in Chapter 29 of Exodus is like Sherlock Holmes' famous statement, "Elementary, my dear Watson!"
The writer of Hebrews was appalled that his readers failed to understand this chapter, when he wrote in Hebrews 5:12—
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
Today, we're back in elementary school to learn about the A-B-C's. For you that have been chewing solid food, bear with me, there are young Christians in our congregation that need the milk—the ABC'S of Scripture. Take a drink of milk—"Its good for you too!"
The ceremonies for consecrating the priesthood are commanded by Yahweh in Exodus 29:1-4—
This is what you are to do to consecrate them, so that they may serve me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams without defect. And from fine wheat flour, without yeast, make bread, and cakes mixed with oil, and wafers spread with oil. Put them in a basket and present them in it—along with the bull and the two rams. Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
These instructions were not carried out till after the erection of the Tabernacle. CONSECRATION for believers is nothing that we do for ourselves—it is something God does for us. It rests upon the finished work of Christ, yet we must apply His finished work to our life to be consecrated.
It is interesting to observe that seven different things were necessary for the consecration of the priests: they were taken, brought, washed, clothed, anointed, sprinkled with blood, and their hands filled. Aaron and his sons, therefore, were called into the priesthood. Aaron did not take this honor unto himself.
So Christ also did not take upon himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father" (Hebrews 5:5).
Neither did Aaron's sons choose the priesthood, Yahweh called them also. What is true of them is true of us. Revelation 17:14 speaks of Christians this way—
They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.
CALLED and CHOSEN is God's work in our salivation, while FAITHFULNESS and FOLLOWING CHRIST is our responsibility. Hence, it's God who consecrates every believer into His royal priesthood.
CONSECRATED denotes being dedicated to the service of or set apart by God. It is synonymous with being holy, blessed, hallowed, sacred, sanctified.
The consecration of Aaron and his sons uniquely marked them for service of the Tabernacle and excluded all others.
The sacrifices are to be WITHOUT DEFECT and WITHOUT YEAST and the consecratees are to be WASHED. In other words, sin was to be removed by sinlessness! The unblemished sacrifices speak of Christ's unblemished, spotless and intrinsic purity. The NT says of Christ:
In Him is no sin—1 John 3:5.
He knew no sin—2 Corinthians 5:21
He did no sin—1 Peter 2:22
The CLEANSING with water symbolizes regeneration through the Holy Spirit and Word of God in the Bible. For example, John 3:5—
Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
Paul writes in Titus 3:5—
He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 5:25-27 records—
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Our Lord as the spotless Lamb of God, who did not need it, nevertheless yielded to John's baptism at Jordan to identify Himself with sinners and fulfill the Aaronic pattern.
The washing of the priests in this passage has to do with regeneration. The BRONZE BASIN FOR WASHING of the Tabernacle described in Chapter 30 deals with a different type of washing.
In this ceremony of consecration the new birth is pictured by that cleanses by the power of the Holy Spirit. The blood of Christ revealed in the Word of God is applied by the power of the Holy Spirit, and regenerates the soul and the believer is born again!
In 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, the apostle describes a variety of fearful uncleannesses and sins, which shut out those that commit them from the kingdom of God, and then adds—
And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
We read in Hebrews 10:22—
Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
In this chapter, we see the outward ceremonial sprinkling and cleansing; and in the NT, we have inward sprinkling and cleansing it pictured. Both the OT priests and the NT believers have a responsibility to KNOW and USE their CONSECRATION to draw near to God with a sincere heart!
Let me repeat: Consecration is what God does rather than what we do. We hear of CONSECRATION SERVICES where people promise to do something. Many promise God big things but never make good on them. Consecration is not what we promise God. Rather, consecration is is coming to God with empty hands, confessing our weakness and our inability to do anything, the letting God do the rest. That's the picture painted for us in verses 5-9—
Take the garments and dress Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself and the breastpiece. Fasten the ephod on him by its skillfully woven waistband. Put the turban on his head and attach the sacred diadem to the turban. Take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head. Bring his sons and dress them in tunics and put headbands on them. Then tie sashes on Aaron and his sons. The priesthood is theirs by a lasting ordinance. In this way you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.
Unlike his sons, Aaron is anointed with the anointing oil before the blood of the consecration sacrifices was shed. The anointing oil is poured on his head. This sets Aaron off as striking picture of Christ, who was anointed with the Spirit by virtue of what He was in Himself in His deity and sinless humanity, not by virtue of redemption, as is the case of all believers. Also Christ was baptized before He shed His blood for the forgiveness of sins, and the believer is baptized after Christ's blood is applied according to the pattern of Aaron and his sons.
We can do absolutely nothing outside of believing in the Atonement of Christ to save ourself. Jesus said on the Cross, "IT IS FINISHED." It's God that clothes the believer in the garments of righteousness. He imputes and imparts Christ's righteousness to everyone who is born again. We cannot make clothes of righteousness for ourself. As in the case of Aaron and his sons, the garments of dignity and honor must be made for us and put on us.
Man is incapable making acceptable clothes and clothing himself. Adam and Eve made clothes of fig leaves and dressed themselves, but their man-made garments were unacceptable. So we read in Genesis 3:21—
The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.
Like with little children, God made garments and clothed our first parents. Folks, we come to Christ as a little child and allow Him to clothe us. Salvation takes place no other way! Any man-made attempt is futile!
If you read the prayers of Moses, Samuel, David, Daniel, and Nehemiah in the OT and Paul in the NT, you will find that these men never came to God on the basis of what they were, who they were, or what they promised God that they would do. We don't have anything to offer to God, we come empty handed and allow Him to fill our hands. That's where serving God beings and that's where salvation begins. That's why Jesus' Beatitudes begin with—
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Unless you see yourself as a miserable beggar and hopeless without the helping hand of God's grace, you have not hope of the kingdom of heaven!
Notice the order of consecration presented in the first nine verses—theologically, it's very important— sacrifice, washing, dressing, anointing.
SACRIFICE: Christ sheds His blood for our sins.
WASHING: We identify with Christ and are cleansed of sin by His blood.
DRESSING: God imputes and imparts Christ's righteousness to us.
ANOINTING: We receive the Holy Spirit and are born again!
If you grasp the fourfold order of a priest's consecration, you understand how you entered into God's royal priesthood —how God saved you!
The consecration of the priests required various unblemished offerings in which the shedding of animal blood took place—the first was a BULL. Verses 10-14—
Bring the bull to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. Slaughter it in the LORD's presence at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Take some of the bull's blood and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar. Then take all the fat around the inner parts, the covering of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar. But burn the bull's flesh and its hide and its offal outside the camp. It is a sin offering.
The choicest parts were burned on the altar, the enveloping fat adding fuel to the fire. The FLESH and HIDE were burned outside the camp! Similarly, Christ our sacrifice offered up His spirit to the heavenly father, but His flesh died and went into the tomb outside the camp. Hebrews 13:11-13 offers this explanation—
The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.
The life in the blood of the sacrificial bull made atonement for the Aaronic priests, whose lives, like the lives of all of us, were forfeited through sin. The BULL'S BLOOD points to the blood of Jesus, God's Son, that purifies us from all sin according to 1 John 1:7.
The High Priest and priests put their hands on the BULL. There are many people who believe that the laying on of hands transmits something magical or spiritual. It does not! That's not the purpose of the laying on of hands. The only thing you can transfer to another man by the laying on of hands is diseased germs. That's all that is passed on! The laying on of hands on an animal speaks of identification. When a sinner came up to the altar and put his hands on the head of the animal he had brought, it meant that the animal was taking his place. The animal would die for him!
When I was ordained, two pastors and the bishop put their hands on my head. Missionaries are often sent off to service in the mission field with a consecrations service where hands are laid on their head. Nothing was transferred to the missionaries or to me when hands were laid on the head. The purpose of the service was identification. Those who lay hands on the head of another identify with that person in his ministry, and they have a certain responsibility to pray for that person and support him.
The second animal's blood to be shed for the consecration of the priests was a RAM. Verses 15-18—
Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. Slaughter it and take the blood and sprinkle it against the altar on all sides. Cut the ram into pieces and wash the inner parts and the legs, putting them with the head and the other pieces. Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the LORD by fire.
The burnt offering of the RAM is a PLEASING AROMA—A SWEET SAVOR to the LORD. Why does this burnt offering please Yahweh? Because it causes the wrath of God to cease! The fire consumes His anger against sin! God Himself is a consuming fire, therefore, His righteous indignation against sin is appeased when the sacrifice identified with the sinner and his sin is consumed by fire. It is a PLEASING AROMA.
This sacrifice bridged the gulf between offerer's sinful state and the holiness of God. It's not for humanitarian or hygienic grounds that the NT puts an end to animal sacrifice. It's because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Therefore, Christ had to come as the once for all sacrifice. His death ended the animal sacrifices—because He made complete atonement!
The third animal's blood to be shed for the consecration of the priests was a SECOND RAM. Notice where the blood is put in verses 19-21—
Take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. Slaughter it, take some of its blood and put it on the lobes of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then sprinkle blood against the altar on all sides. And take some of the blood on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. Then he and his sons and their garments will be consecrated.
Blood on the LOBES OF THE RIGHT EARS pictures the organ that hears the Word of God. One cannot understand the spiritual truths of the Bible outside of redemption!
Blood on the THUMBS OF THEIR RIGHT HANDS pictures organs by which the mediatorial work was to be performed on behalf of the people. Outside of redemption a person cannot serve God—there can be no spiritual act of worship that pleases God! Paul writes to Christians in Romans 12:1—
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.
Blood on the thumbs of their right hands signifies the priest presenting himself for spiritual service as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.
Blood on the BIG TOES OF THEIR RIGHT FEET pictures the sanctified walk of the priests, who would be examples to the people.
The priest's are to dedicate all their faculties and powers to the service of God; their ears to the hearing and study of His Law, their hands to diligence in the sacred ministry and to all acts of obedience, and their feet to walking in the way of God's precepts. And this sprinkling appears to have been used to teach them that they could neither hear, work, nor walk profitably, uprightly, and well-pleasing in the sight of God, without this application of the blood of the sacrifice.
Bottom line: Our ears, hands, and feet are all to be used for the LORD, in His service.
Blood was SPRINKLED AGAINST THE ALTAR ON ALL SIDES. The ALTAR symbolizes the CROSS and CRUCIFIXION. The blood sprinkled on the altar, implies that if we are to serve Christ, we also must be crucified with Him. Paul said in Galatians 2:20—
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Lastly, some of the blood of the altar was to be mixed with the anointing oil and sprinkled on Aaron and his sons and their clothes as symbolic of their complete consecration as priests.
Verses 22-26—
Take from this ram the fat, the fat tail, the fat around the inner parts, the covering of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh. (This is the ram for the ordination.) From the basket of bread made without yeast, which is before the LORD, take a loaf, and a cake made with oil, and a wafer. Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and wave them before the LORD as a wave offering. Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering for a pleasing aroma to the LORD, an offering made to the LORD by fire. After you take the breast of the ram for Aaron's ordination, wave it before the LORD as a wave offering, and it will be your share.
The choice parts of this ram along with the unleavened bread, oiled cake, and wafer were to FILL the hands of Aaron and his sons and to be used as a WAVE OFFERING. The waving was not from side to side but toward the altar and back, showing that the sacrifice was given to God and then received back by the priest for his use. Everything that had been waved except for the BREAST OF THE RAM was then to be burned on the altar.
Verses 27-28—
Consecrate those parts of the ordination ram that belong to Aaron and his sons: the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. This is always to be the regular share from the Israelites for Aaron and his sons. It is the contribution the Israelites are to make to the LORD from their fellowship offerings.
The BREAST and THIGH of every animal given as a FELLOWSHIP OFFERING would hereafter given to the priest. The priests would be apportioned no land for farming in the Promised Land, and this is one of the ways God provided for their support. The priests who served in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple would receive part of the offering.
The second RAM is for FELLOWSHIP or PEACE. Christ procured peace for sinners on the Cross. There God is propitiated and the sinner is reconciled. Colossians 1:19-20 asserts—
For God was pleased to have all his fulness dwell in [Christ], and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
Verses 29-30—
Aaron's sacred garments will belong to his descendants so that they can be anointed and ordained in them. The son who succeeds him as priest and comes to the Tent of Meeting to minister in the Holy Place is to wear them seven days.
The ordained garments of the High Priest were to be passed down for future ordinations. The successor would wear them for seven days, perhaps symbolizing the completeness of his consecration.
Verses 31-34—
Take the ram for the ordination and cook the meat in a sacred place. At the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket. They are to eat these offerings by which atonement was made for their ordination and consecration. But no one else may eat them, because they are sacred. And if any of the meat of the ordination ram or any bread is left over till morning, burn it up. It must not be eaten, because it is sacred.
Only the priests could eat of the holy ordination offerings. Leftovers were to be burned up.
Yahweh tells Moses in verses 35-37—
Do for Aaron and his sons everything I have commanded you, taking seven days to ordain them. Sacrifice a bull each day as a sin offering to make atonement. Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate it. For seven days make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will be most holy, and whatever touches it will be holy.
Here Moses is commanded to consecrate the Altar to make it holy since everything that touched it was also be holy.
Based on ATONEMENT, Yahweh promises (in this chapter) to sanctify the Tent of the Meeting with His presence, to commune with His people, to reveal His will to them, to perpetuate a holy priesthood for them and to demonstrate to them that He was their God.
ATONEMENT comes from the root KAPAR, which denotes the COVERING of sin from God's sight in view of Christ's future redemptive work. The OT sinner's forgiveness was secured by God's covering sin until Christ's death. That's the point of Romans 3:25—
God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished.
Not until Christ died was sin finally PUT AWAY and actual AT-ONE-MENT made between God and man secured!
Provision for daily sacrifice is made in verses 38-41—
This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day: two lambs a year old. Offer one in the morning and the other at twilight. With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil from pressed olives, and a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering. Sacrifice the other lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and its drink offering as in the morning—a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the LORD by fire.
The sacrificed LAMBS symbolized Christ's death, the presentation of MEAL OFFERINGS pictured Christ's sinless humanity, and the DRINK OFFERINGS foreshadowed Christ's life poured out in death.
TWO LAMBS, one offered in the morning and the other in the evening, combined to make the daily sacrifice. It served as a constant reminder that someone was needed to take their place and that their sin merited death. There must be the shedding of the blood for the forgiveness of sin. Hebrews 9:26 brings out this truth—
Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.
The blood of bulls, goats, and lambs could not take away sin, but the blood of Christ could. His sacrifice was adequate. He died once for all for sin! As we identify with Christ, we need to obey His command in Luke 9:23—
Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
Daily sacrifice was necessary for the OT believer and it's necessary for the NT believer.
Verses 42-43—
For the generations to come this burnt offering is to be made regularly at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD. There I will meet you and speak to you; there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory.
Here the LORD gave Moses a prophetic glimpse into Israel's future by referring to the obligation "for generations to come." He promised to meet with Israel and priests regularly as the offerings were made.
Verses 44-46—
So I will consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. They will know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.
The purpose of CONSECRATION is holiness so that Yahweh can dwell with His people. In fact, the divine side of the Exodus was so that God might dwell among His people. The real significance of the Tabernacle theology is explicitly stated as God's tabernacling or dwelling among people so that they could recognize that He indeed is God.
Chapter 29 of Exodus teaches the Church that the blood of the Cross lies at the foundation of everything. We could not be anointed with the Holy Spirit until the blood is shed and applied. Here the preeminence of the Son of God is set forth. He is the head of the Church. Aaron symbolizes Christ and his sons the Church. The sons being anointed after the blood is shed, Aaron before.
Every born again Christian has been consecrated by the blood of Christ and the anointing of the Holy Spirit for spiritual service. How will you serve God this day, this week, this month, this year?

22 Oct Drew Barrymore: She Faced Many Challenges in Her Personal Life and Career
One of the first movies that Drew Barrymore starred in as a child was ET. This was a movie that rocked the entertainment industry in 1982. One of the main stars in the movie was Drew Barrymore. She played the character of Gertie. She has starred in to many movies to count and is one of America's most beloved actresses.
Besides being a great actress, her family has had a long history of substance abuse. Her grandfather John Barrymore died of alcoholism at the age of 60. Her aunt Diana Barrymore said in her book "Too Much, Too soon" that she had a reckless hunger for drugs and booze. Her father John Barrymore has had a history of drug arrests and alcoholism as well. Drug and alcohol addiction treatment centers know that addiction often begins at home. There is a lot of research pointing to the fact that someone can become addicted to drugs and alcohol for different reasons. However, hereditary is one of the factors.
Drew Barrymore started smoking cigarettes when she was just 9.5 years old. She also says that she drank to get drunk when she was just 10 years old. She was a club hopper at this young age as well. The actress told People magazine that after a while, drinking got boring and she moved onto smoking pot. She first smoked pot with a group of young adults that allowed her to take a hit. Can you believe that the group laughed because they thought it was cute that a young girl is smoking pot?
Eventually Drew began using Cocaine. This is a highly addictive drug. Her problem kept on getting worse and worse for the actress. At times, she admitted to throw stuff around in the presence of her mother when she got drunk. Her mother eventually had to take her to a hospital to get help because she was so drunk. She ended up staying there for a period of twelve days.
After that, she went to group therapy. Unfortunately her sobriety did not late. She ended up hanging out with people that liked to drink. Even though she wasn't drinking, her friends were. She had the feelings that she was somehow missing out on partying. She wanted to have the same fun that they were having.
At another point in time, a young woman in a ladies bathroom asked Drew if she did cocaine. She responded by saying no. However, the woman gave her a temptation once again by asking her to give it a try. Eventually Drew gave in and didn't think that the blow would have much of an effect on her. That same night she got cocaine from a drug dealer in the club.
One night she stole her mother's credit card to go partying with friends. Her mother did not know that she took her credit card and reported it stolen. The police showed up at her friend's house and put her in hand cuffs and took her to a program called ASAP.
To make a long story short, Drew eventually got sober. She shares the story with millions of people in the world that decided to become sober as well.

SCHOOLS will be given a boost thanks to the £3.5m being awarded to Portsmouth by Emirates.
Portsmouth's council leader Donna Jones has revealed a large proportion of the cash will be spent building classrooms at Craneswater Junior School, in Southsea, on improvements at Mayfield School, in North End, and put towards the rebuilding of King Richard School, in Paulsgrove.
Cllr Jones said the move will help to cover an £11m shortfall in the authority's rebuilding schools programme.
The original Spinnaker design sparked huge controversy and a petition in opposition, launched by Pompey fan Alex Judd, attracted up to 10,000 signatures. The backlash prompted the council to consult people and request they submit their own ideas before a final version was drawn up.

I'm a big fan of the Ankh Morpork Boardgame. It has a lot going for it: combos, semi-predictable random events, secret goals. Like I said, I'm a fan. It does however have a major flaw from my perspective. The cards in the game are mostlly characters from the Discworld Novels (and a few locations) but they are missing my favorite ones! Out of all the characters in the Discworld I like the witches the best and there aren't any in the game.
This immediately had me asking why, and the reason actually makes pretty good sense. The game is based around characters who spend most of their time in the City of Ankh Morpork and are basically locals. The witches are all to some degree foreigners, as are pretty much all the characters missing from the game. Thinking about it I realized that even though there are over 100 cards in the game you could easily add that many cards just from the Discworld characters that weren't included. Another small flaw in the game is that it only works with 2-4 players. How to fix this?
If I added a second board representing the map of the whole disc and more cards and events the game could be expanded out to cover 2-8 players and include the missing characters (and the witches!)
For now these notes are just a mental playground, but I may print up a test copy for personal use at some point. I may send this off to treefrog games at some point once things are more finalized.
Note: What follows won't make a lot of sense if you haven't played the game or at least read the rules. If you are new to the game you can check out the publishers websites here: Tree Frog Games: Ankh Morpork The rules show up lower down on that page.
A) The Map
As you can see from the map there are a lot of countries. Far too many to include. I decided to only focus on countries that play a part in the novels. That actually works out to be a pretty good list of 13 places (1 more than the locations in the board game which actually allows for an interesting mechanic). On the board they'd have to be connected by dotted lines or something similar.
Here are the Locations and the benefits from having a building (embassy) on them. Each of the countries would have a number of neutral minions representing local interests and armies.
Locations :
1 -Djelibeybi => 1 Neutral Minion. 6 Cost. Once per turn Spend 2 money and draw the bottom card of the discard pile.
(This space is adjacent to klatch, and ephebe)
2 - Klatch => 3 Neutral Minions, Add a minion on or adjacent to klatch.
(This space is adjacent to Krull, Djelibeybi, omnia, ephebe and Ankh morpork except when Leshp is on the map)
3 - Omnia => 2 Neutral Minions, 12 Cost, Spend 3 Dollars to add a minion next to a minion you already have but not on a spot where you already have a minion.
(This space is next to Klatch, Ephebe, Ankh Morpork and the Sto Plains)
4 - Borogravia => 2 Neutral Minion, 6 Cost, Spend 3 Money. Start a war in borogravia or in any adjacent space.
(this space is next to the sto plains uberwald and genua)
5 - Uberwald => 3 Neutral Minions, 12 Cost, Remove a Minion from Uberwald. The affected player may give you 2 dollars to prevent the loss.
(This space is next to Lamedos, genua, borogravia, the sto plains, and XXXX)
6 - Genua => 2 Neutral Minion, 12 Cost, Produce 2 Dollars once per turn.
(This space is next to borogravia, uberwald, krull and XXXX)
7 - Ephebe => 1 Neutral Minion, 12 Cost. All players may draw a card, if they do they must give you 1 dollar.
(This space is adjacent to Omnia, Ephebe, ankh morpork and Klatch)
8 - Llamedos (Octarine Plains Region) => 1 Neutral Minion, 6 Cost, Produce 1 Money Per turn
(This space is next to the sto plains, The Agatean Empire, Uberwald and Krull)
9 - Sto Plains => 2 Neutral Minion, 12 cost, Produce 2 MOney.
(This space is next to ankh morpork, omnia, llamedos, lancre and borogravia)
10 - The Agatean Empire => 5 Neutral Minions, 18 Cost, Produce 5 dollars a turn.
(This space is next to krull, xxxx and Llamedos)
11 - Krull => 1 Neutral Minion, 6 Cost, Whenever a Player discards a card you may spend 2 dollars to Retrieve it.
(this space is adjacent to klatch, the agatean empire, xxxx, llamedos and genua)
12 - XXXX => 1 Neutral Minions , 18 Cost, Once per turn, spend 5 Dollars and return a card you just played to your hand.
(This space is adjacent to krull, the agatean empire and genua)
0 - Lancre => 1 Neutral Minion, 6 Money, Spend 3 Money to Draw a Magic Event. Pieces in Lancre are not effected. Lancre doesn't have a number on the dice.
(This space is adjacent to sto plains, llamedos and uberwald)
B) New Mechanics:
1) Headology:
After playing the original game quite a few times I think that the weakest mechanic is the "Shield" which removes trouble. With the notable exception of Sergeant Angua almost all the cards that use it are pretty weak. The three main uses of the shield are:
- Open a neighborhood for building. (Which usually helps someone else build there, with the notable exception of Sgt Angua).
- Protect minions in an area from assassins (less useful than it sounds. There's usually another good target.)
- Prevent a Dragon King of Arms victory. (Vital when it comes up, but you'd rather assassinate and the conditions are relatively rare on a given turn.)
I admit that the game partly thrives on the idea of some cards being notably better than others (for instance it is fun to pass a weak card to an opponent or cycle bad cards out of your had.) That said, I wasn't looking forward to adding a bunch more cards with a mechanic I don't love and the witches especially suggest the need for a new symbol.
Headology (a little witches hat symbol): In a spot where you have a minion you may add a trouble marker, remove one or move a trouble marker to an adjacent spot that doesn't have one.
This clearly needs playtesting, but I like the added strategy and it fits the flavor of headology pretty well.
2) Battle
The Next mechanic comes from the worldwide flavor of the expansion and the plots of a number of the more international Discworld novels. For someone as anti-war as Sir Pterry seems to be, there are a lot of battles and the threat of battles in the Discworld.
Battle (Symbol is a two sided battle axe): Choose a country or neighborhood where you have a minion and there is trouble marker. Remove another players minion from the board. Then going in clockwise order each other player with a minion there can choose a minion to remove from the board. If a players last minion on that spot has been removed they do not get to remove a minon. After all players have gone, if there are any non-player minions 1 minion will be removed from the player with the most minions. (Or if there is a tie the minion will be removed from the player who played the battle symbol. If that player has already lost their last minion in this spot they may choose who loses the minion). The player who played the battle symbol may then repeat this process if they still have a minion. If they choose not to repeat the process and there are still minions belonging to other players on the space, add a trouble marker to this space.
Things I like about this mechanic (even though its a bit long winded): You do have some advantage, but especially when there are multiple players vying for the same spot you could end up greatly regretting making this move. Second, it allows for removing a lot of minions at once in a somewhat democratic way. For just a moment an alliance of players can form to take on someone who is in the lead. Finally, a troublemaker who has no way to come out on top can still unleash chaos on a spot where there is a buildup of minions. As Sir Pterry says, "If you seek war, prepare for war." Fun!
For Reference: All buildings in countries outside Ankh Morpork are "Embassies".
Optional Rules Needing Playtest: I when you have control of a country you may also use the power provided by the building. (Problem: should a person who has both get to do the power twice? That seems off). Alternatively, when you have control of a country you get the power of the embassy instead of the person who controls the building. (Don't love this either).
C) New Events: (Triggered by Magic Symbol on Cards):
Leshp: Add Leshp to the board between Ankh Morpork and Klatch. They are no longer adjacent. All players may choose to place a minion on Leshp. (Add a trouble marker if there are more than 1) Every turn roll a dice. If the roll is an 8 Leshp Disappears and all minions on Leshp must be moved to Klatch or Ankmorpork.
Koom Valley: All players, starting with the player who played the magic symbol, may move a minion of their choice from anywhere on the board to Uberwald. Add 2 locals. Then Start a battle (with the player who played the magic symbol going first).
Hogfather: All players may draw a card. The player/s with the most money draws another card.
Embassy Attack: Roll a dice to select a country. Remove an embassy from that spot. The player who lost the embassy may choose to start a battle.
Fairies: Roll a dice for a country. Add a fairy to that country. At the beginning of every turn if there is a fairy in the country roll a dice. If the roll is 8 or higher add a fairy to the country. If there are 4 fairies in a country then on a roll or 8 or higher instead add a fairy to all adjacent countries. Each of these countries starts to roll at the beginning of each turn.
(Alternative to playtest: every time there is a magic symbol. More controllable/ more interesting. Less book keeping)
Holy Wood: Roll the die to choose a country. Add a demon to that country and all countries adjacent to it.
Fairy Godmother: Roll the dice twice to choose countries. (Reroll doubles). Swap all minions, buildings and trouble markers between the two locations. This does swap control of embassies.
Music with Rocks In! : Roll for a Neighborhood (Alternative for playtest: or country. Your choice?) All players may move as many minions as they like from adjacent neighborhoods (or countries) to that country or neighborhood.
Sourceror: From now on during this game every magic symbol is doubled.
Major Time warp: Roll a dice. Add a time warp token to the country. That country is no longer accessible. Minions and trouble markers cannot be added or removed. Embassy powers are not usable. At the beginning of every turn roll a dice. On an 8 the time warp token is removed. The country still counts for victory conditions.
Revolution: Roll a dice. All players remove 1 minion in this country. The Player with the embassy loses the embassy.
Foot the Ball: Each player starting with you may start a battle in a neighborhood of Ankh Morpork that has a trouble marker.
Prewar Buildup: Roll the die to choose a country. Double the number of Locals in that spot. If there are no locals add 1.

The Princess of Light
◊ Made in 2007
◊ Work at Brisbane Supanova 2007
◊ Won 1st prize for Best Cosplay Supanova Brisbane 2007
Details – This cosplay was what made me become quite serious about cosplay. It was my first detailed cosplay and I put a huge amount of effort into this costume.
She is made from off-white princess satin for the main dress, fuschia silk dupion for the bodice, machine zig-zagged embroidery on the hem of the skirt, craft foam pouldrens with clay sculpted crown and apron pieces. The apron is made up of furnishing fabrics to give it a good weight and also so that the fused pieces would not frey.
The embroidery along the bodice is actually a paragraph of writing I typed in Hylian font so that I would embroider on actual writing on her bodice. I cant remember what it says but I remember saying silly things.
[This costume was made before my formal training]

I have an old floor lamp with a base made of a green material like jade or agate or emeraldlite. The material is light green with veins throught it. It is soft as I can take a sharp knife and scrape it and it leaves a whitish powder. I believe it could be carved if required.
If it's scratched by a knife then its too soft to be agate or jade. Perhaps malachite? Please feel free to post a picture of it.

A lost job and joke of not having money for even a vada pav, resulted in massive success for two youths from Mumbai as their vada pav business in London took off, earning them nearly Rs 4.4 crore per annum!
Sujay Sohani from Thane in Mumbai and Subodh Joshi from Wadala met at Bandra's Rizvi College in 1999 when they were studying hotel management, after which they pursued further studies in London and then got jobs in reputed hotels.
"After completing the course, we decided to pursue a post-graduate degree in London. When we finished the course, we got jobs in reputed hotels and were earning well. Everything was fine until the recession hit us," Joshi said to media.

In 2010, Sohani lost his job at the 5-star hotel where he was working at as a food and beverage manager. Meeting his college friend Joshi, Sohani remarked how he did not even have enough money for a vada pav.
The spark of inspiration struck Sohani a few days later, to sell vada pav in London, and the duo launched their first stall soon after.
They began humbly, by renting two tables from a Polish cafe to set up their stall.
"The cafe wasn't doing great business, so we approached the Polish owner and asked if he would allow us to put up two tables. In return, we promised to pay him a rent of 400 pounds (R35,000) a month. He was reluctant at first, but later agreed," says Sohani.
ALSO READ: Delhi Vs Mumbai Battle: Yummy Street Food War Is On
Coinciding with India's independence day, on August 15, 2010, Sohani and Joshi opened their stall for public, and within a month their profits went through the roof.
"We first started serving vada pav for 1 pound (R80) and dabeli for 1.50 pounds (R131)," says Sohani.
But the next hurdle was popularising their item, which is a street food staple in Mumbai.
Using a low-cost advertising technique, the Mumbai youths would move around busy streets of Hounslow where their stall was located, and offer to people to try them out for free.
"As burgers were being sold in other shops for nothing less than 5 pounds (R440), we promoted our item as the Indian variant that was available to them for less than half the price at 2 pounds (R175)," Sohani said.
ALSO READ: Indulge In Street Food But Be Cautious
Six months down the line, the small cafe was no longer sufficient, and they set up another stall.
As their popularity grew, a Punjabi restaurant operating near their stall approached them for a business tie-up.
"We decided to give a shot, and that's how the Shree Krishna Vada Pav stall turned into a restaurant," Sohani said.
Joshi quit his job soon after and began working full time at the restaurant. In 2 years, they opened the second stall, and another one last year and also began taking orders for weddings and parties, supplying 60 Indian street food dishes.
A total of 7 years later, now they have a total of 35 employees, 3 branches and an annual turnover of roughly Rs 4.40 crores.
"Today, Indians, Romanians and Polish staff work at our restaurants. And, to imagine that it all started with bad luck and the vada pav," said Sohani.

Anyone outfitting a new bathroom knows the importance of finding the right hand towels and face cloths for their space. You need something which will work with your overall décor and match the towels or bath sheets you've already chosen. Of course, quality is important as well. You may even have some special considerations due to sensitive skin.
On this page, we will delve into the world of hand towels and face cloths. We searched the internet far and wide to bring you the most popular hand towels and face cloths on the current market. We've done our best to include information regarding their quality as well as their aesthetic appeal. Before continuing, however, you may want to take a quick moment to read our little bit of buying information below.
Buying Information
There are only a few major things to consider when selecting hand towels and face cloths for your new (or upgraded) bathroom space. Let's take the time to quickly go over them now so that you are prepared with your list of needs and wants as you read the reviews further down this page.
Intended Uses – Knowing what you intend to use your hand towels and face cloths for will help you determine the level of quality you require as well as the number of towels and cloths you will need. For example, if you are planning to use your face cloths as washcloths as well – washing you face by your sink and your body in the shower – you are likely to need more cloths than a person who will only use them to wash his or her face. Trust me, I've made this mistake before and learned my lesson as I repeatedly ran out of face cloths before laundry day.
Budget Concerns – If you have already been to our bath towels and bath sheets section, you are probably familiar with this topic of concern. Budget is an important consideration in any purchase. When it comes to purchasing hand towels and face cloths, however, you must be very careful to balance your budget concerns with your quality concerns. The softer, plusher, more absorbent and hypoallergenic a hand towel or face cloth, the more expensive it is likely to be.
Individual or Set? – If you believe that you will need the same number of hand towels as face cloths, you may want to just make life a whole lot easier by purchasing a set which comes with both. If, however, you are planning to use more of one than the other, you may want to think about purchasing them individually. Sets usually come with an equal number of each type, meaning that you would have to purchase additional face cloths or hand towels to make up the difference – not always an easy task since some items are not sold separately.
For the sake of simplicity, we've chosen to only include separate hand towels and face cloths on this page. However, we have gone ahead and ensured that some hand towels have exact matches in face cloths so that you can create your own sets.
Hand Towels
First, let's look at your best options where hand towels are concerned.

The Economics of Libido: Psychic Bisexuality, the Superego, and the Centrality of the Oedipus Complex by Trevor C. Pederson
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1782201777 | 200 pages | PDF | 0,6 MB
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1782201777 | 200 pages | PDF | 0,6 MB
This book is an attempt to get beyond pluralism by embedding psychoanalysis in philosophy and returning to Freud as a psychologist to link the depths of the mind to the surface. The author argues that egoism and altruism are a more accurate representation of activity and passivity and that Freud's work points to masculine and feminine drives on each pole, which, because of psychic bisexuality, can exist in either sex. The author argues that Freud places the Oedipus complex as the height of striving for personal happiness in passionate love or success. The subsequent father complex is snatched from obscurity and given its proper weight as the recreation of the parental incest taboo among siblings. Passionate love and success are mastered as the ideal to marry and seek fairness in one's dealings with others. The author argues that Freud's work suggests that the earlier forms of the superego are depersonalized to create different ontologies, or forms of being in the world, that reference the necessary subjective sense of Space, Time, the Superlative, and up to oedipal Prestige. Lastly, to justify this return to the drive, superego, and psychic bisexuality the author provides an explication of Wittgenstein's private language argument.

In the digital age, we get a lot of analysis about online behaviour. For instance we know that people don't really read websites. In fact according to Tony Haile 55% of people spend less than 15 seconds on a page!
But there is a simple hack to change this for your site.
If a page has nothing but text on it, the average person will indeed spend just a few seconds there – nowhere near enough time to read all that text you had your comms team slaving over.
However, we know that if there are multiple pictures on the page, they will spend more time reading it.
And if there is video, they will spend even more time browsing your entire page and even reading it.
Think about the pages you visit and read the most, they are likely to be heavy with visual content. Sites such as the BBC, Daily Mail and Guardian use content to change behaviours. They draw in people to their stories with visual media.
Why is this important? Because one of the secrets of SEO is getting people to spend more time on your page. The longer they stay, the higher up the rankings the site will go.
This simple fact is as true for your garden widget website as it is for the Daily Mail.
So get video on your site. Get in a firm of professionals, hint: spotreels.com, but other firms are available ;). Don't ask them for one all singing/dancing film, but ask them to look at your website and create visual content to replace the words.
Bring your website to life with a sprinkling of short videos. Explainers, behind the scenes, stories from your employees…all of these will create a vibrant online environment that will draw longer visits and raise you up the all-important search rankings.
If people are spending 15 seconds on other people's sites, that means their time is up for grabs from you.
Go grab it with video.
If you're an average reader, I've got your attention for 15 seconds

Joe Vardon, the Dispatch reporter who has dutifully recorded every step of Gov Kasich at home and abroad, has joined the Plain Dealer's Northeast Ohio Media Group staff. His new beat: basketball icon LeBron James. Honest.
It may be a first in professional sports. I mean, a reporter who will live and breathe in his night-and-day job for one athlete.
The PD reported that Vardon will "pay attention to James' basketball exploits, but he will also cover James' business empire, charitable work and mentoring of youth."
But maybe the career move isn't as dramatic as it seems, inasmuch as Vardon has had loads of experience covering Kasich's own business empire of one percenters, including casino tycoon Sheldon Adelsen. With that on-the-job training, it should be a slam dunk for Vardon.
Darn now the Dispatch will have to train a new GOP lap dog
The Dispatch has already contacted the Ohio GOP for candidates to interview.
