God has written the names in the book of life-only he has seen it.
Knowing these two things i tell you truth-- there isnt a mortal man alive that has the right to tell one he is saved or knows if another is saved. Truth- any religion that does this doesnt have Jesus with them. They are wolves in sheeps clothing.
Heart: The center of the total personality, especially with reference to intuition, feeling, or emotion. (Note: In the Christian worldview, the human soul) 1
Read: (appraise) Judge, estimate. (Note: the synonym may describe what my opponent probably meant to say) 2
Truth: 1. the true or actual state of a matter. 2. Conformity with fact or reality. 3
Religion: a.The service and worship of God or the supernatural.
b. Commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance. 4
Salvation: Is a process that begins when a person first becomes a Christian, continues through that person's life, and is completed when one stand before the judgement seat of Christ. 5
Unregenerate: Not regenerate, not renewwed in heart and mind or reborn in spirit. 6
I have to assume that my opponent's argument is that a person's final destination granted by God can not be known or determined by another individual from the community of Christians (all denominations within the Christian Faith) or other world religions (Non-Christian religions such as Buddhist, Islam, etc (assumption is made based on his statement concerning religions without Jesus ( Jesus, in the understanding of the Christian worldview). The conclusion is based on his two premises which are: 1. The inability to have the knowledge to know anothers ultimate destination and, 2. the inability to make a final evaluation of anyone's character. I would like my readers to note that my opponent did not took the time to list his sources to support his contentions. He also provided no definitions in order for pro and the readers from assuming, but to have a clear understanding of exactly what it is he is affirming, thus leaving me the responsiibility to provide some definitions. Assuming, my opponent's argument would look like this:
1. Only God has the kind of knowledge concerning an individual's ultimate destination.
2. Christian and none Christians does not have this kind of knowledge.
3. Therefore, Christians and none Christians can not make a final evaluation of the absolute value of anybody
because such judgement is reserved only for God.
A. Rebuttals:
1. "The heart is desperate and treacherous who can know it?--This means we dont really know our own hearts, so its impossible for another to read it."
The verse that my opponent is quoting comes from Jeremiah 17:9, "The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; Who can understand it?" This verse is the description of man's spiritual condition or state (unregenerate heart) after Adam's disobedience. That is to say, according to the Christian worldview, ...."his total being became enslaved by this disposition of enmity against God." 7 Thus, a need to have a new heart which the prophet Ezekiel proclaimed God promised in the Old Testament. 8 The verse itself does not dismiss the Christian from the moral responsibility to make judgement on other Christians when their life is not characterized by obedience and love. There are many verses which require Christians to judge other Christians conduct. 9
a. Salvation must be characterized by obedience and love.
Wynkoop explained it this way, "salvation by faith must not be reduced to a freedom from love and obedience. Salvation by faith is meaningless apart from the faith that works by love." 9 It is why Christ made this statement, ".....but he who endure to the end shall be saved." 10
Note: Sources will be posted on the comment section.
Paul at 1 Corinthians 9:27-- Had worries over losing his good standing. So then the once saved always saved reasoning is a false one. No mortal knows his heart well enough to know if they can endure till the end.
Satan is a powerful adversary-Mortals are nothing compared to his power and knowledge. He Got to Gods elite all throuout the ot--examples--King David ( Bathsheba and her husband ) The law was for him to be stoned to death-he was not-Why??? He repented--Moses, Solomon-The israelites fell away many times, until satan finally owned them, grasped them out of the Fathers hand persay. Millions of perfect angels were decieved by him-99.9% of the human race were decieved by him in Noahs day. So i reiterate-- no mortal man knows if another is truly saved. The reason why the road leading to life ( eternal life-being saved ) is narrow and few will find it-- Is because satan has made it the toughest accomplishment a mortal being can do in their lifetime-it wont be handed over on a silver platter by saying 3 lines in a place of worship.
Flame forfeited this round.
C1: Salvation must be characterized by obedience and love.
a. My opponent gave us the scenario of a member of the Christian community who may display good works in the local church they attend and, yet display the total opposite outside the local church. It is important to recognize the importance of context in Matthew 7:21-23 as far as "the overall thrust and nature of the book as well as its immediate context". 1 Otherwise, it would be committing prooftexting. According to the immediate context, the reason why Christ made such a judgement was because of "praciticing lawlessness" found in verse 23. His teachings end in verse 28, but He starts His teaching in a broad sense on salvation and than goes into the specifics when He talks about wolves in sheeps clothing: knowing their fruits, disobedience, lawlessness, etc in verse 15 and onward. The key words here are "disobedience, practice and lawlessness". Lawlessness is defined as "....sin sets forth its essential character as the rejection of the law, or will, of God and the substitution of the will of self." 2 It is in accordance to 1 John 3:4 which states, "Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness." Practice is defined as, "habitual or customary performance; operation: office practice." 3 It further supports my argument that salvation needs to be characterized by obedience and love with consistantcy and not sporadic in their life style from the day the individual become regenerate or "born again" until their physical death and appear at the judgement seat of Christ. Secondly, Christ clearly stated that it is possible to discern between those are truly Christians versus those who are simply pretending by judging their conduct. (you shall know their fruits). I have provided corrobative evidence in round 1 in my comment section concerning judging another Christian's conduct. Therefore, my opponent can not rightly say that it is impossible to have a know that an individual is indeed a Christian or not and their high probability of their final destiny if they keep habitually rejecting the will of God and placing self as the ruler by judging their outward conduct. Christ never said that a person has to know the inner motives or their secrets to know that. Wynkoop made this statement, "The Bible teaches two very clear things regarding the Christian believer: (1) there is absolute eternal security "in Christ"; and (2) the responsibility for continued obedience is binding on the Christian." 4 Which is why Paul, the Apostle made the statement in 1 Corinthians 9:27, "but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified." He used the analogy of an athelete and a marathon race to describe salvation and the importance of characterizing it with obedience and love from the immediate context starting in verse 24 and ending in verse 27. In verse 27, there is no hint on the part of Paul that suggests that there is no absolute eternal security "in Christ". It only becomes a danger when the person neglects or ignores his or her salvation.
1. "Had worries over losing his good standing. So then the once saved always saved reasoning is a false one."
a. Worry is defined as, "to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret." 5 Paul, never displayed such behavior, attitude or conversation in his letters and he certainly never set a pattern for Timothy, Titus (his apprentices) and the churches he established through out the Roman empire as an example for them to follow such nonesense. Especially for Timothy who had a tendency of being timid and fearful. Read Paul's encouraging words, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." 5 In fact, he was so sure of his absolute eternal security "in Christ" because he knew he lived a life of obedience and love as a response to God's grace towards him. Read his words before he became a martyr, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 6 A Christian is not insecure and certainly not tormented by bombarding his mind with endless questions after experiecing the new birth, concerning his salvation unless he has a reason to or is indeed deluded that living a life of disobedience will not endanger it. There is a huge difference between self examination versus being fearful.
2. "Satan is a powerful adversary-Mortals are nothing compared to his power and knowledge. He Got to Gods elite all throuout the ot--examples--King David ( Bathsheba and her husband ) The law was for him to be stoned to death-he was not-Why??? He repented--Moses, Solomon-The israelites fell away many times, until satan finally owned them, grasped them out of the Fathers hand persay. Millions of perfect angels were decieved by him-99.9% of the human race were decieved by him in Noahs day No mortal knows his heart well enough to know if they can endure till the end."
a. There is indeed two dangers when it comes to satan which are: not showing respect as a very dangerous foe and being fearful of him. As far as making the statement that he as an external force can take a Christian believer out of God, the Father's hand? That is a negative. Jesus and the Apostle Paul made it clear that no external forces can take any of the Christian believers out of God's hand or from God's love. 7 The only way that can happen if the Christian believer takes him or herself out of that hand by neglecting his or her salvation.
3. "So i reiterate-- no mortal man knows if another is truly saved. The reason why the road leading to life ( eternal life-being saved ) is narrow and few will find it-- Is because satan has made it the toughest accomplishment a mortal being can do in their lifetime-it wont be handed over on a silver platter by saying 3 lines in a place of worship."
a. Of course it was never promised that from the day the individual is born-again until the judgement seat of Christ it would easy and with no some sort of struggle or opposition. But, again, no external force, including satan can take any Christian believer away from God's hand and His love other than the Christian believer. And also the Christian believer can have the assurance of salvation if he or her has lived a life of obedience and love as Paul the Apostle knew too.

If you are setting down facts than why not list your sources from which you gather your facts? And the very little that you do gave as evidence ought to match up with what your saying. It was not even close. Also, the Berean believed Paul's message because he did not just isolate passsages of the Bible and presented it out of context. He provided a body of evidence and his sources. They came to the conclusion that what he shared with them was indeed matching the facts. 1 That is truth is correspondant to fact. "Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true." 2

2 Acts 17:11
By insinuating that I am reasoning as a Pharisee and thus a tool of satan rather than actually attacking my argument. So yeah, it is a ad hominem. If my set of reason are weka, do so by actuaklly engaging in the arguement.
I do think you understand what it means to give an argument. It means to, "offer a set of reasons or evidence in support of a conclusion."1 It's not just givinga simple statement here and there with no body of evidence, hence the need for listing your sources. Which is why I posted earlier that the "purpose of primary and secondary sources is to not depend on our own personal knowledge and experience. Arguments supported by such sources are relied upon for clarification and verification. Especially to test our own wolrdviews since research can yield new information, sharpen our perception, and lend authority to our contentions." 2 Why is that important? Because the main purpose of giving arguments is "a way to finding out which views are better than others" 3 I would have to agree with Weston when he said that, "not all views are equal."4 Why? Because there are a range of interpretations. Within that range there is always one interpretaion that is better and stronger, and closer to reality or state of affairs than another. It is also your responsibility to give a logical defense according to the Bible: "But in your hearts set Christ apart as holy [and acknowledge Him] as Lord. Always be ready to give a logical defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope that is in you, but do it courteously and respectfully." 5

5 1 Peter 3:15 (Amplified)
So why even post the comment about the 144,000 and the Lord's Supper to begin with? And, it is not even relevant to the debate we just had anyways. You also committed another logical fallacy known as "ad misericordiam". That is, you are appealling to pity from me and our readers for special treatment just because you happened to not be a "debater". That is inappropiate in this case since the purpose of a debate is to objectively evaluate both arguments.
a. That is nice, so when will you actually post your sources and evidence and actually give a coherent argument?

It's just me, so don't get too excited :) I had a day to fill and thought I could entertain you with a great tutorial on glass etching. It's so easy to do and makes wonderful personalized gifts on any flat glass or mirrored surface.
your glass item - I'm using a beer glass
glass etching cream (found at any craft store)
paint brush
glass cleaner and paper towel
printed image
printable sticker sheet
x-acto knife
Step 1: clean your glass item well with glass cleaner ensuring there are no fingerprints
Step 2: print your image on the sticker sheet and cut around the image leaving plenty of room around the image
Step 3: Carefully stick your image on the glass making sure there aren't any air bubbles
Step 4: Using your x-acto knife VERY carefully cut out the outline of your image
Step 5: Peel the inside of your outlined image off the glass and wipe again with glass cleaner
Step 6: Paint a generous amount of the etching cream onto your stencil. Remember that whatever the etching cream touches it will frost that area so be careful that the cream does not drip.
Step 7: Let sit for 5 minutes
Step 8: Wash the etching cream off and remove the remaining sticker sheet from the glass.
Step 9: Wash the glass thoroughly and you are now ready to enjoy a funny frosty beverage :)
The etching is permanent and dishwasher safe! I've used this same technique to make monogrammed sets of glasses for gifts and even monogrammed small mirrors and glued ribbon on the back as an ornament. The possibilities are really endless and one small jar of etching cream will last through many projects. Have fun!

I know readers will have hardly been able to contain themselves since my last post, so here is an update on the Wetherspoons festival. It seems that 'Spoons have used the same approach as they have used at previous festivals and released the range of beers in 2 drafts, so one seems to find more or less the same beers at each venue, give or take the odd one here and there.
Luckily I have managed to find the Liberation 'Rouge', the first beer I have encountered from the Jersey brewery, but I was somewhat disappointed. It was a fairly ordinary red beer, which is not my favourite style either, I must admit. In fact very few of the beers have had the 'wow' factor, many being mid brown and lacking in something.
Admittedly, I have not tried many of the collaborations with foreign brewers which seem to be everywhere at present, preferring to try the efforts of the British brewers. however, one of them that did appeal was the Wadworth/Cambridge brewing 'Heather Ale'. The brewer came from Massachusetts and for some reason best known to himself used Scottish heather and herbs and honey to produce a very pleasing 4.0% ale which was certainly distinctive and different, and well worth another try if I come across it again.
The only other beer that I would try again was the St Peters 'Fruit Beer' which had a decent strength at 4.7% and a massive hit of fresh grapefruit, and judging by the amount being sold in the 'Cherry Tree' yesterday seemed well received by everyone.
Having said that, the value cannot be faulted, costing £2 a pint for any of the festival beers, even up to 6.5%. So get down and try something different, it goes on until mid November.

Urachus is the embryological remnant of the allantois that connects the fetal bladder to the umbilicus. It usually obliterates in the 5th month of gestation, giving rise to the median umbilical ligament.
Several types of urachal anomalies have been described including urachal cyst, patent urachus, diverticulum, the sinus, of which urachal cysts is the most common anomaly, occuring in approximately 1/5,000 births. Urachal cysts are usually asymptomatic but may present as acute abdomen (secondary to infection), the become palpable.
We performed a light assisted mucosa sparing laparoscopic excision of a urachal cyst in a 24-year-old girl who presented with lower abdominal midline swelling. MR of the abdomen the pelvis revealed an anterior midline urachal cyst located just superior to the bladder that measured 6.2 x 4.5 cm. Management options of the urachal cyst were discussed with the patient the she was planned for laparoscopic excision.
On the table, cystoscopy the cystography were performed initially to identify any possible connection between the bladder the the urachal cyst. The patient was placed in the dorsal lithotomy the Trendelenberg position.
Peritoneal access was obtained using the open Hasson technique with placement of the 12-mm camera port in the midline using a vertical incision halfway between the umbilicus the the xiphoid process .
After creation of pneumoperitoneum, two additional ports (12 mm each) were inserted under direct vision at the anterior axillary lines just above the leve l of the umbilicus (one on each side).
Dissection began with lysis of the omental adhesions. After adhesiolysis, both the obliterated umbilical arteries were cauterized the divided to gain access to the anterior bladder wall. The urachal cyst was dissected from the anterior abdominal wall the mobilized all around, except at its attachment to the bladder, using a harmonic scalpal. The cystoscopy was carried out at this stage to visualize the demarcation between the cyst the the bladder wall with the help of a cystoscopic light. The bladder was kept partially distended to assist dissection between the bladder mucosa the cyst wall. Under cystoscopic light guidance, the cyst was dissected from the bladder wall without opening the bladder mucosa . The bladder was distended via the Foley catheter to ensure that there was no rent in bladder mucosa. The muscle defect was closed by running a 3-0 vicryl suture. The cyst was decompressed after taking it in an endobag the delivered from camera port. The Foley catheter was kept indwelling for 24 hours.
Histopathological examination of the cyst confirmed the presence of a benign urachal cyst with chronic inflammatiory changes.
Urachal cyst is an uncommon urachal anomaly having delayed presentation due to non specific signs the symptoms. Complete excision of the cyst is the treatment of choice.
Laparoscopic excision is increasingly being used with results comparable to open surgery with the advantages of a minimally invasive approach. Light guided mucosa sparing laparoscopic cyst excision is a novel technique which, in addition to being minimally invasive, will also reduce the complications associated with opening of bladder mucosa such as urinary leakage the bleeding, as well as having a shorter catheter time.

The term typically used to convey the concept of mapping the physical world to the virtual world is "Object Hyperlink", which refers to the notion of extending the Internet to objects and locations in the real world. In other words, the Internet is associated with (or mapped to) the real world by attaching object tags with URLs as meta-objects to tangible objects or locations.
Digital Twinning refers to the mapping of the physical world to the digital world in which Internet of Things (IoT) Platforms and Software are leveraged to create a digital representation of physical object or asset. The Digital Twin of a physical object can provide data about the asset such as its physical state and disposition.
IoT will enable "Smart Objects" as depicted above. In this topology, virtual objects (software programs) function as an abstract of real-world things (smart objects in the physic environment). Virtual objects are associated with real objects to the extent that the latter may be manipulated, controlled, etc. This means that there will be Virtual-to-Real (V2R), Real-to-Virtual (R2V), and Virtual-to-Virtual (V2V) scenarios.
Some human-oriented IoT enabled transactions will require AAA, such as a request to administer a virtual object and/or to manipulate a real-world object via the virtual one. However, over time, the vast majority of transactions will not involve a human being as systems become Learning Machines, communicating with one another and applying previously gained data towards solving new problems.
Some of the areas that will benefit greatly from Digital Twinning are Connected Manufacturing, Industrial IoT, and Teleoperation.
Mind Commerce predicted this in its report Google in RFID and M2M, Second Edition (January 2013), when we evaluated the role of Google in M2M and related IoT areas. We stated that there is great potential for Google in teleoperation related areas:
"There is a great potential for Google in M2M/IoT. Just as RFID can be used to create presence detection, tracking, etc., and association between real-world items with Web-based objects such as URL's, Google can employ the use of M2M for virtual control of real-world objects."
"The obvious role for Google in M2M is address mapping. Just as Google uses various algorithms to put search into context based on keywords, they can do the same to put communications and control into context. This can be done in a real-world to real-world basis as well as real-world to virtual world (and vice versa) basis."
Mapping is the foundation of "teleoperation" (operation of a machine at a distance) as there must first be a way to address an object before it can be signaled and/or controlled from a distance.
In that same report, our analysis continues with the following:
"It is quite a bit more obvious for the real-to-real scenarios such as predicting contextually which systems may be affected by real-world events such as a tidal wave striking a coastline where there is a nuclear power plant.
The real to virtual scenarios are less obvious, but have huge implications, as the virtual world represents two-way control (real to virtual and virtual to real) communications and control for a variety of use cases including simulations, alerts, risk assessment, gaming (some serious such as war games), etc. Furthermore, augmented reality can be employed to help people in the real world be able to better identify and visualize these relationships so that they be leveraged for productive benefit.
For example, a maintenance team arriving at a building can gain access to an augmented reality view of hidden systems (for instance equipment behind a wall) to both see what is there as well as information and its status. With a touch of a button, the worker is linked to a URL that provides static and/or dynamic information about the object such as specs and usage information, ownership, maintenance history, status, performance, etc.
With Google, it will be conceivable that every object will be known along with all key contextual data, mapped to addresses, and sorted by key associations, permissions, and privacy rules."
We see these as vital functions, which Google and others will perform. We also see these teleoperation scenarios, and others, playing out over the next 10- 20 years with IoT as covered in the Mind Commerce report Teleoperation and Telerobotics in Industrial IoT
There are also many additional use cases for Digital Twinning including monitoring, simulation, and many more. For more information about Digital Twinning, see the Mind Commerce report:

"I think everybody knows how much I love this club and I think everybody knows how much I've been tormented by what has gone on in the last six or seven weeks," said Gannon as reported by the Argus.
"I have been put into a difficult position but I respect that the approach has been made and we'll see what happens. It's going to be a huge decision."
"My position at the club became untenable a long time ago. But because of my passion for the club and out of respect for all of the staff, players and fans, I've stayed.
"I have remained committed but the most important thing is to make sure that this club continues to exist and progresses."
Brighton Chairman Knight told their official site last night that he was due to speak to two people about the job, with the sucessful candidate hoped to be in place for the weekend.

As a Professional Organizer I am attuned to working with individuals who have special needs. That may include health issues, disabling conditions, aging, and emotional issues. All individuals have special needs to lesser and greater extents, and all of us can benefit from regularly organizing our space or our time. Some considerations… Do you start things and get distracted, finding it difficult to finish tasks? Do you feel scattered and don't know where to start; feel overwhelmed or discouraged? Are you frequently reaching and bending to access items that you use frequently? Do you have difficulty estimating the time that you need to get places or get things done; often late for appointments? The process of organizing may include ways to label and store items. Using clearly marked, easy to see labels and clear containers is often very helpful. Organizing for safety means placing items within easy reach and limiting the height of piles to prevent things from falling. It may also require removing items that pose a danger such as areea rugs. Lowering hooks and racks make it easier to hang clothing and backpacks up, too. Do you have a question about a situation you are contending with? Write or call me for assistance!
I am always saying that the best tip for looking good is wearing clothing that fits. Nothing looks worse than clothing that is too tight, baggy, low cut, or short unless it is appropriate for your body type. Still, we need to consider age (sorry), comfort, and whether it is event-appropriate. So, do you now how to select jeans that flatter your body type? Straight leg – creates a slimming effect for countering fullness at the hips & butt. Helps create a lengthening effect by not breaking at the knee or ankle, too. Trouser leg – also has a slimming effect for larger thighs & calves. If you are petite, consider wearing a heel. Flare leg – adds curve especially if there is embellishment or pocket lapels on the butt.
I was talking to a friend the other day and she shared this photo of the spice rack she built. She did a great job using a prominent space in the kitchen, adding colors to the wall. Fabulous idea and that way she didn't have to use precious cupboard or drawer space. I get great ideas from friends, family and clients. Thanks for sharing Sarah!
Did you know that 1 of the reasons why clutter accumulates is that we don't manage our time effectively? 3 TIPS to combat that: #1 – Schedule everything! Use your planner to schedule tasks, not just appointments. #2 – Time yourself! Set a timer to help you make quick decisions…keep? recycle? shred? #3 – Organize regularly. Remember, organizing is a process. By doing it regularly it's not as overwhelming. Have a professional or a friend help you get started, get to a manageable place, and then you can maintain it on your own.
A few simple changes will give you a new, more polished look! Update your eyeglass frames next time you get your eyes checked. Try on wigs to see what a new style might look like. Bring an honest friend along. Add a little color with blush and tinted lip gloss. Send me your photo for more personalized ideas!
Your desktop is a surface that is primarily a space to work on rather than a storage space. Are you afraid that if you don't leave papers out that you will forget to do something? As an organizing and productivity expert I can assure you that that strategy doesn't work. In fact, it creates mental confusion and stress. Consider these factors: 1. How your desk top makes you feel? 2. What type of impression does it have on your prospective and current clients? 3. What message does your desk top give to your supervisor, colleagues, or employees? To solve the problem of desk top clutter and disorganization, have an effective filing and tickler system. Everything needs to have a designated place. Tasks and project due dates need to be aligned with your calendar.
Here are 3 challenges my clients face and solutions that work for each: Challenge #1: Do you have difficulty trying to decide which project to start? Solution: List each project on a separate slip of paper. Fold them in half and put them all in a container. Shake it up then select one. Start it now! Challenge #2: Do you have difficulty stopping a task once you start it? Solution: First, identify what a comfortable stopping point might be. Is it working on 1 drawer rather than the entire dresser? One pile of paper rather than the top of the desk? Once you decide, set a timer for a realistic amount of time. Commit to working for that amount of time, only. Reward yourself for honoring that commitment. Challenge #3: Do you have difficulty sleeping because you are thinking about what you still want to get done? Solution: Keep a notepad next to your bed. If you wake up with an idea just write it down and let it go mentally (it will be there in the morning). Before you go to bed think of 3 things that you DID get done that day. Acknowledge your successes.
Despite the current heat wave I can't help but begin to think about ideas for a holiday wardrobe. Keep it simple and use layering and accessorizing to expand your outfits. Color continues to be big this season. I love this silky print under the gorgeous hip length jacket. Dress it up with a vintage brooch, tuxedo pants, & heels. Next time you can wear it with a classic white shirt, pencil skirt, and boots. Remember to shop in your closet, first. Update something you own and love with a current trend. Need ideas? Send me photos!

Origin of slot machines
Slot machines, also known as slots, are casino gambling machines that have three or more reels and operate using coins and a lever or button to start the reels spinning. They originated from the first slot machine with an automatic mechanism and spinning reels, invented by Charles Fey of California, USA in 1895, that was named "Liberty Bell". It is regarded a historic artifact and is currently on display at the Liberty Belle saloon in Reno, Nevada.
Although there have been great advances in slot technology since then the three reel model is still used today. From the the huge success of the machine, more mechanical gambling devices were made, introducing a new era of gambling games and slot machines with big payouts.
Video slots introduce improved technology
The first video slot machine was invented in 1976 by the Fortune Coin Company in Las Vegas. The video slot machine was called "Fortune Coin" and introduced video screen and electronic technology for all slot machine functions and was housed in a show-ready slot machine cabinet that was presented at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel.
Since then they have continued to evolve, adding screen functionality, better graphics, improved gameplay, more pay lines and bigger jackpots.
The objective
The objective is to win money from the slot machine matching usually symbols, images, numbers, and characters that might be depicted on the reels into winning combinations and pay lines according to the game rules.
On video slots and online slots the reels are simulated, if a player makes a winning combination as depicted on the slot game payout table, the players get credited cash, spins, and extra games.
How slots work
Most modern slot machines are designed using pseudorandom number generators; algorithms that continuously generate a sequence of random numbers close to the sequence of properties of being truly random. Almost all of the reputable online casinos today are regulated by law and are constantly being examined by regulatory bodies that examine and validate the fairness of their games and operations, and provide them with certification guaranteeing that they are a trustworthy, safe and fair place to play casino games online.
Slot machines are typically programmed to pay out 82%-97% winnings based on their RTP, that is their programmed payout percentage known as "Return to Player". The higher the RTP of a particular slot game the better its payout percentage over a period of time.
Be sure to check our recommended slot games and information on playing online slots, tips and the most entertaining slot games around.
Main types of slot machines
3 reel - These slot games have 3 reels, just like the older and more traditional slot game machines.
5 reel - The most modern slot games usually have 5 reels, adding more winning combinations and pay lines.
7 reel - There are some slot games available today that have 7 reels, adding further pay lines and winning combinations.

Kyocera Ceramic KnivesPosted: September 21, 2012 Filed under: Flavoring, Knife 2 Comments
If you've never handled a Kyocera Ceramic Knife, you don't know what you're missing. When it comes to effortlessly slicing fruits, vegetables, and boneless meats, ceramic knives are in a class of their own. Of course, for most home cooks, a ceramic knife will not replace your tried and true steel chef's knife and paring knife for some tasks, but they sure do make an excellent addition to your collection.
Kyocera's ceramic knives are made from a high-tech ceramic recipe called zirconium oxide. What makes Kyocera stand out from other ceramic knives is the super-fineness of the processed raw materials and the amount of compression and heat that sinters them into an extremely dense final product. So you get knives take a finer edge and are much more chip resistant than the competition.
Kyocera also produces mandolin slicers and vegetable peelers with the same high quality ceramic blade. We recommend these products time and time again to our customers who desire great quality tools that are both functional and easy to use.
Knife SharpeningPosted: September 9, 2012 Filed under: Knife | Tags: cooking, dull knives, food Leave a comment
Professional cooks know the importance of having high quality tools in their kitchen, the most important of which are knives. However they'll tell you that having good knives is just the first step. Often overlooked is the equal importance of sharpening and properly maintaining your knives.
To quote from a memoir of the same title by Kathleen Flinn, "the sharper your knife, the less you cry". Using a dull knife crushes the onions while cutting them and draws out more of the tear causing oils, making you cry more than if you had used a sharp knife. Of course, you could just use onion goggles to solve that particular problem, but I digress.
In addition to crying a little less while chopping onions, a sharp knife is much safer to use than a dull knife. For example, a fingertip cut by a sharp knife heals faster than a jagged gouge from a dull knife. Statistics show that far more kitchen knife injuries are caused by a dull knife. Dull knives require the use of more pressure to cut. Because the edge of the blade will not easily penetrate the food, there is a chance the knife will lose traction and slip, potentially landing in the cook's (or an unsuspecting bystander's) unfortunate foot. Using a sharp knife helps the cook to maintain control, requires less pressure and will ultimately be safer and more efficient than a dull knife. Read the rest of this entry »

Meet Tony LukePosted: August 27, 2012 Filed under: Flavoring, Knife, Special Pages | Tags: cheese steak, cheese steaks, food, restaurants Leave a comment
Philadelphia: home of the Liberty Bell, Rocky, the Phanatic, and the famous Philly cheese steak.
Pat's King of Steaks claims to be the creator of the iconic sandwich, around 80 years ago, and among tourists, the Italian Market's Pat's and Geno's have become the "go-to" places in Philadelphia. However, ask any true-blue Philadelphian who makes the best cheese steak, and more often than not they'll direct you to the innovative newcomer, Tony Luke's.
Tony's original family eatery is at 30 East Oregon Avenue, and their franchise has grown to eight locations, from Atlantic City in New Jersey to Bahrain in the Middle East.
Staying SharpPosted: July 22, 2011 Filed under: Knife Leave a comment
Continuing our running cutlery conversation, let's visit one of the more frequent (and open-ended) questions we receive: when and how do my knives need sharpening?
To begin to understand this question is to understand the fundamentals of sharpening vs. honing… "Sharpening" is the process by which metal is literally ground from the blade, and a new edge is formed, while "honing" simply straightens an edge that already exists.
When you use your metal knife, the edge will gradually roll in on itself on a microscopic level, causing the blade to dull. Honing should be done each time before using your knives, with a honing tool like a steel. This straightens the edge, returning the blade to a consistent sharpness. (An important exception is ceramic cutlery, which can be damaged by honing with a steel.)
Sharpening, as a more abrasive process, should only be done when honing will no longer "bring back an edge." Think of it as using styling gel in your hair versus clipping it off and starting from scratch.
Now that's a knife!Posted: June 3, 2011 Filed under: Knife Leave a comment
With all due respect to Crocodile Dundee, we don't all walk around with an all-purpose bowie knife. For people who don't chase down gazelles for a living , cutlery is confined to the kitchen. When you find yourself facing the decision to purchase one or more pieces, you can feel like a fish out of water. Not unlike our friend Mr. Dundee.
There are many considerations: price, manufacturer, type of knife…the list goes on. However, we consistently tell our customers that the most important characteristic in choosing a new knife is "feel." If it feels awkward or tough to manage, you won't use the knife or, worse, you'll use it incorrectly. Along with that, we recommend knives that have:

Songs 18 Hugely Popular Songs That Were Originally Written For Someone Else
List Rules Vote up the songs with the most surprising originally intended singers.
Sometimes, it's hard to tell if a song is going to be a hit, especially in an industry where songs are regularly written in the hopes that a major musician will want to sing them. It can be a real gamble. Songs intended for other artists are often passed up and taken to the next willing singer. For a few of these singers who passed up hit songs, it's sad to consider just how very different their careers would have been if they'd had those mega hits on their resumes.
Some of these popular songs written for different singers were penned by other popular artists. Ed Sheeran has done this, as has Prince, though sometimes a songwriter realizes they have a hit on their hands and keeps it for themselves instead. A few times a song was passed on to singers in an entirely different genre of music, which may account for why it ended up working so well.
Some of these hit songs intended musicians just sound like a crazy mismatch. Imagine Celine Dion singing Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" or Shawnna singing Kayne West's "Gold Digger." Here are even more hit songs originally written for other artists that are guaranteed to boggle your mind.
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing - Celine Dion
In the late 1990s, Aerosmith was supposed to write a power ballad for the Armageddon soundtrack, a film starring Steven Tyler's daughter Liv. However, the band had just been out promoting their Nine Lives album and were pretty burnt out. Label executives brought in a few drafts of songs written by other songwriters, one of them was from power ballad writing queen Diane Warren called "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." The song had been originally marked for someone else (no one was saying whom) as a female piano ballad, but Aerosmith made a demo, and the label loved it.
Even if music executives were not willing to share who the song was originally written for, Diane Warren did rather spill the beans in a 2016 interview. Warren got the idea for the song after hearing a story from an interview with Barbra Streisand's husband, who said that he did not like to go to sleep because he missed his wife. Warren originally had a female voice in mind but loved Tyler's take on her song:
"...when I wrote it I thought it would end up being like Celine Dion or somebody like that, you know, back in the day...but it's so much cooler to hear someone like Steven Tyler - this gruff, macho rock star, this amazing tough guy - for him to say that lyric, it just brought a whole other dimension to it. I don't think it would have been the same hit, or the same standard, if it wasn't for someone like Steven Tyler doing that song."

...Baby One More Time - TLC
Britney Spears quickly catapulted from sweet innocent Mouseketeer to sexy popstar with the 1998 smash hit "...Baby One More Time." However, songwriters Max Martin and Rami Yocoub originally wrote the song for the musical trio TLC. They both thought the tune would gel with the whole 1990s TLC vibe.
Turns out the songwriters were wrong. But even though, "...Baby One More Time" went on to be a massive hit for Spears, T-Boz of TLC doesn't regret passing on the song.
"I was like, I like the song but do I think it's a hit? Do I think it's TLC? I'm not saying 'hit me baby.' No disrespect to Britney," T-Boz said. "It's good for her. But was I going to say 'hit me baby one more time'? Hell no!"
"That's not even my subject of conversation, so you know, it worked for her, I'm happy for her, I like Britney," T-Boz explained. "Every song isn't good for each artist, and when you're a real artist you know what you believe in and what you really want to sing. So, I'm clear that it was a hit, but I'm also clear that it wasn't for TLC."

#35 on The Best Songs to Sing at Karaoke
Umbrella - Britney Spears
"Umbrella" was written by Terius Nash and Christopher Stewart. In 2007, they brought the song to Britney Spears, who at the time was in desperate need of a hit, to record on her "comeback" album Blackout. Spears rejected the song and Rihanna snatched it up. The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the song of the summer in 2007. So many listeners downloaded the track that it caused iTunes to crash. It also brought Rihanna from pop star to superstar.
Also Ranked
#3 on The Best Songs Ft. Jay Z
Irreplaceable - Faith Hill And Shania Twain
Beyoncé's 2006 No. 1 hit "Irreplaceable" could have gone in several different musical directions. The tune, written by Ne-Yo and mega-producer duo Stargate, was originally written from a male perspective, but that quickly changed once they got into the writing process. Ne-Yo also said in an interview that he had both Faith Hill and Shania Twain in mind when he wrote the song because it was originally penned as a country tune.
However, once Beyoncé heard the song, she knew that she could make it one of her own. Tor Hermansen (part of Stargate) said about the song, "What happens sometimes, is you think about a specific artist and you put them in this box, the song has to be this way or that, and then you're usually confining yourself to the thing they did three years ago. But she [Beyonce] heard it and did her own vocal arrangements, asked for a few changes to be made and some new drums, and she sang it much higher than the demo."
What Beyoncé wants, Beyoncé gets.

Every Republican I hear talks about how the president isn't following the Constitution and that they will follow that document faithfully.
So why is it that the Supreme Court, which has the responsibility to enforce the Constitution, seems to disagree so often? Justices have upheld Obamacare and same-sex marriage. They regularly rule against Republican-sponsored abortion bills and voting-rights restrictions. Who is really following the Constitution?

Title: "Investigating the central and peripheral contributions to tactile gating during goal-directed movement"
Supervisor: Dr. Romeo Chua (Kinesiology)
Committee Members: Dr. Tim Inglis (Kinesiology), Dr. Ian Franks (Kinesiology)
Abstract: The current thesis proposal will focus on the facilitation and downregulation of sensory information during goal-directed movement. Specifically, the presence or absence of tactile gating, in which humans display a reduced ability to detect tactile stimulations on the skin before and during active or passive movement, will be explored. Recent findings suggest that the CNS selectively attenuates tactile information if it is presented to a task irrelevant location on the moving limb. Further, tactile information will not be attenuated if it is presented at a task relevant location. In turn, central and peripheral processes have been thought to contribute to tactile gating but the existing literature has failed to directly isolate these mechanisms during goal-directed movement. This thesis will therefore explore the contributions to tactile gating by isolating central and peripheral processes during goal-directed movement.
In this thesis, participants will perform variations of a reach to grasp movement. In addition to a normal or unperturbed reach to grasp, participants will try to perform the task but will be unexpectedly blocked at movement start. In another condition, participants will be passively guided throughout the task. These additional conditions will allow for the isolation of central and peripheral commands, respectively. Prior to or during movement, participants will receive an innocuous electrical stimulation to the thumb, index finger or forearm. In this case, the thumb and index finger act as task relevant locations on the moving limb whereas the forearm acts as the task irrelevant location. In turn, their ability to detect this tactile stimulation will allow for inferences to be made in regards to the relative contribution of central and peripheral mechanisms to tactile gating.

The Taylor Bridge wildfire in central Washington Sate has moved to within 75 miles of Seattle, fire officials said Wednesday.
The wind-driven blaze has destroyed more than 43 square miles of dry forest and brush, damaged homes and forced hundreds of people to evacuate, the Los Angeles Times reported.
"In some of these areas that are extremely dry, if the fires get into the big, tall sage, it will really take off," said fire spokesman Rick Scriven. Another worry is the wind.
"If this fire gets anymore wind-driven, they're going to have a heck of a fight on their hands," said Scriven.
In southern California, a fast-moving wildfire has burned 6,000 acres in the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains.
The blaze, just 5 percent contained Tuesday evening, was moving perilously close to tinder-dry areas of the San Bernardino National Forest, officials said.
In northeast San Diego County, four fast-moving blazes have burned more 2,300 acres.
Officials said some of the fires were started by lightning strikes.

Saint Dominic's Catholic Cemetery
St. Dominic's Cemetery in Iowa Hill is no longer affiliated with St. Dominic's Catholic Church in Colfax. People whose funeral services were held at St. Dominic's Catholic Church were probably buried in the Colfax Cemetery.
Saint Dominic's Catholic Cemetery is one of two remaining official cemeteries in Iowa Hill, Placer County, California. The other is the Old Iowa Hill (AKA Protestant). Both are located on Banjo Hill, approximately 1/4 mile northeast of Iowa Hill on the road to Sugar Pine Dam and Forest Hill. The Catholic Cemetery is located on the south side of the road, across from the Protestant Cemetery.
As of May 2013, all of the remaining historic grave markers for both cemeteries have been photographed and uploaded to Find A Grave.
All of the people on the 2001 transcription of burials in the Iowa Hill area that were done by Sharon and Bob Balmain have been entered into Find A Grave. People who are known to be interred in the area of Iowa Hill but whose exact burial location is unknown have been assigned to the Iowa Hill Divide Cemetery.
St. Dominic's Cemetery, originally called St. Joseph's, was also the location of the Catholic Church in Iowa Hill. Burials list from 1860. There is one child buried in 1859, along with a brother buried in 1860. Possibly that child was moved there when his brother was buried, or he may have been buried there in anticipation of the church soon to be built there.
The first Catholic priest to visit the area was probably Father Shanhan, pastor of Nevada City, in 1852 or the spring of 1853, when he took the trail leading through Grass Valley, Illinoistown, and Iowa Hill and said Mass for the first time in Foresthill. In 1854, Father Peter Deyaert was appointed to care for the northern mines. His records show that he visited and had baptisms in "Iowa Town" in November 1854.
Father Thomas Dalton, of Grass Valley, who succeeded Father Deyaert, attended to the Iowa Hill area from 1855. In October of that year, His Grace, Archbishop Allemaney of San Francisco, and Father Dalton visited Iowa Hill to celebrate Mass, preach, and administer the Sacrament of Confirmation at Adelia (Mrs. J. T.) Hill's home. He gave Confirmation to about five Iowa Hill residents and administered to "a pretty good concourse of people."
There was a growing need for the faithful in the area to have their own church, and in 1859 a meeting was held at the home of James Gleeson to plan a Catholic Church. A committee was appointed for collecting funds, which included members from Mineral Bar, Iowa Hill, Roach Hill, Monona Flat, Wolverine, Strawberry Flat, Grizzly Flat, Wisconsin Hill, Elizabethtown, and Damascas. Sealed proposals were received from carpenters and builders at Samuel N. Calvin's office in Iowa Hill. Proposals were addressed to James Gleeson, Secretary of the Committee for the erection of the Catholic Church. George W. Currier got the contract, which was to be completed by June 1, 1860.
A parcel of land upon the hill known as "Banjo Hill" was recorded on 10 May 1860 from J. P. Hansen to His Grace the Most Reverend Joseph Sadoc Alemany, Archbishop of the Diocese of San Francisco, and was acquired for $10.00 consideration (Placer County Deeds, Book F, page 196).
The church, called St. Joseph's, was "one of the principle ornaments of the town" and was tended from Grass Valley by Father Dalton who was instrumental in its completion and who dedicated it on June 20, 1860. The bell, purchased by Irish immigrants, could be heard from the Chicago Park area to Auburn.
In 1864, the church blew down and was rebuilt. From 1865 through 1878 it was tended once a month from Foresthill. Iowa Hill became a Mission of Auburn in 1895, as was Foresthill. Iowa Hill remained a mission of Auburn at least through 1930.
The church blew down a final time (date unknown), and the boards were used in other Iowa Hill homes. After 1932, Iowa Hill is no longer recorded in the Hoffman's Catholic Directory, and Colfax became St. Dominic's with Father F. McEnany as pastor. It wasn't possible to determine when or why St. Joseph's Cemetery became known as St. Dominic's. Possibly it was under the care of the Colfax St. Dominic's Church at one time (although it is not currently). The bell from St. Joseph's Church was stored at the Colfax St. Dominic's for safekeeping and is now mounted in front of the church there.

Managing Your Total Cost of Risk
Part 2 of 2: Implementation
Implementation of Control Measures
Identifying exposures directs us to focus our resources on delivering the best control measures. An estimated 75 percent of commercial insurance expenses are claims-driven. We look to control and reduce this percentage through pre- and post-loss control measures.
A comprehensive loss control evaluation uncovers your strengths and weaknesses. A company may have strong management leadership behind his or her initiatives but have no employee buy-in or participation. William Blount & Associates has the solutions to establish a safety committee, delivering a comprehensive employee safety education campaign to address your exposures.
There are many post-loss or cost containment strategies. A proactive and effective Return to Work program is one strategy that positively affects your bottom line: offering a bank of modified duty jobs for employees and informing the doctor there is modified work available. Also, establishing a relationship with a local occupational medicine clinic can help manage costs. Interview the staff to learn about their services and tour their facilities. Invite the physicians into your business to get a first-hand look and understanding of your operations. By providing them with the details of your operations, they can accurately evaluate reported injuries to confirm if they are work-related.
Fraudulent claim behavior can drive the cost of risk out of control. Anti-fraud tactics include educating employees on the effects of insurance fraud through payroll stuffers and worksite posters, and offering safety incentives for solid performance. Also, keeping a motor vehicle accident kit in company vehicles, along with a disposable camera, allows you to document evidence, providing stronger subrogation results.
An active loss control program and post-loss procedures are elemental to cost containment. Our agency offers comprehensive resources to employ the most appropriate strategies for your business.
Risk Transfer and Financing
Once we have identified exposures and created control measures, we can focus on the remaining exposures to transfer and/or finance. You will want to address questions such as: How much risk can I afford to assume in-house? How can William Blount & Associates assist in contractually transferring risk to a third party? Lastly, what portion of the exposures do I want to finance through an insurance policy?
Addressing these questions offers a direction as to how to approach the financing of your risk. Think about current cash flow needs. Are account receivables current? If there is a lag, how long is it, and are there resources to correct it?
Considerations involve self-insured retentions if you have a mature loss control program and the financial reserves to cover shock losses that occur. Therefore, a combination of insurance and non-insurance strategies should be considered.
Manage Your Exposures
Roughly 25 percent of businesses that sustain a major catastrophe are no longer in business within a year's time. If there is an interruption in your operations, are you prepared?
We have the resource for you to develop a comprehensive business continuity plan. This involves backing up your policies and procedures. Through William Blount & Associates, we offer 24/7 Web access to your critical risk management information, employee education resources and tools to drive down your cost of regulatory compliance; all are ID- and password-enabled for your protection.
Cost of Risk Resources
To develop the most appropriate risk management program for your organization, William Blount & Associates approaches "insurance" through a variety of insurance and non-insurance strategies, such as:
We work with you to develop a strategic action plan, assist in the execution of the designed risk management program, and are committed to the monitoring and support of these initiatives. If you are interested in reviewing your risk management strategies, contact us today to speak with one of our insurance experts.
