Learn about the sinking and explore the shipwreck inside Titanic VR
Diving to the bottom of the North Atlantic, the player takes on the role of Dr. Ethan Lynch, Associate Professor of Maritime Archaeology at the fictional University of Nova Scotia. With funding from a mysterious investor, Dr. Lynch and his PhD Candidate Jean Robinson have set out aboard a research vessel to dive the wreck and answer questions that have remained submerged for over a century.
Complete bonus missions such as rescuing a lost ROV, creating a photo mosaic, placing research equipment, and working with a world-famous director. Clean and preserve recovered artifacts, upgrade your ROV, and learn all there is to know about this infamous wreck.
"We've used comprehensive maps to create a realistic 3D model of the wreck site. We used motion capture, face-scanning technology and professional voice actors to immerse users in the story. We wanted to create an accurate portrayal of events so that it is not only educational, but also emotionally engaging."
– David Whelan, CEO Immersive VR Education Ltd.
This educational experience is set in the near future, but explores a more-intact 1985 model of the wreck. Players will have an option to follow the storyline, or purely explore in a sandbox mode. This is a hands-on experience, with players required to navigate around and inside the wreck using their submersible and ROV. This experience is designed for room space, but is also suitable for sitting space, and monitor mode.
This is also the first released section of Titanic VR, with an animated 1912 experience being released later this year. In the 1912 animation, players will witness key events through the eyes of a survivor. It is an historically accurate recreation of events, based on eye-witness testimony and substantial research. Players will leave with a deeper understanding of this historic and tragic event.

For those of you offering the service of installing curved metal roofing, you know it's a manageable task once you get the hang of it. Curving metal roofing panels is like anything else — it's a profitable offering if few in your area can do what you do.
Prestige Construction Systems of St. Augustine, Fla., routinely installs curved metal roofing. Working with a local representative for Berridge Manufacturing of Houston, Prestige has installed more than 2,000 squares of curved metal roofing in the last year.
Architects for PBS&J Architects in Orlando designed the Fire Rescue Administration Complex in St. Augustine with multiple radii. Four different areas of the roof had a curved metal roof — all with different curving measurements. Architects, more than anyone, appreciate the capabilities of metal and are not afraid to push the design envelope with metal. Prestige doesn't back down either.
It's one thing to curve metal panels. Because of the wind uplift requirements needed in Florida, in some areas of the roof, the panels were installed on a lightweight concrete substrate. Fasteners had to penetrate the concrete then attach to the deck. Project manager John Turney of Prestige said it was a challenge to get the panels curved to fit properly over the concrete without oil canning. "The whole project, about 300 squares, took us about three months to wrap up," he says.
The profile selected was Berridge's Zee-Lock panel, in 22-gauge Galvalume. The architect chose Deep Red for the color.
Turney says the Berridge rep onsite to curve the panels was able to manufacture curved panels to the correct radius. The Berridge ZC-21 curver works in synchronized tandem with the Berridge SP-21 Zee-Lock Panel roll former to fabricate continuous-length curved panels in one operation. Turney says there was no waste as a result of inaccurate curving. "We actually had two leftover panels," he says. "It's not total guesswork."
The Fire Rescue Administration Complex is one of several projects Prestige has worked on in its continuing partnership with St. Johns County, in northeast Florida. "The county likes metal roofing," Turney says. "We're doing three or four jobs for St. Johns County. They appreciate the durability of metal and like the warranty. The bigger projects, most of the county complexes, will be roofed with metal.
"In our area, the competition isn't too great," Turney says. "There are maybe two other installers who do what we do."
Less competition should translate into more jobs. Prestige has a good backlog and is optimistic about 2008.

Last Call Food Brawl
6 x 60 minutes / Produced for Destination America
It's the perfect recipe for a night cap: one part hungry bar-goers, two parts finger-lickin' food, a dash of the best chefs, with a Golden Fry Basket to garnish. It all adds up to mouth-watering, delicious late-night must-have dishes. Each episode visits a different city to challenge four local experts, hailing from 24-hour diners to 4-star establishments, in a cook-off to determine who will be crowned the king of late night bites.


text: I have a brisket I have been brining for the past 72 hours; kosher salt, brown sugar, quick cure, bay leaves, coriander, cloves, allspice, ginger, cinnamon. I plan on continuing for another 48. I'm new to brining brisket so here is my question; if I put this on the smoker am I making pastrami? I had initially wanted this to be corned beef but after reading, I would smoke it for pastrami or roast it for corned beef. I wouldn't mind either but can you help clear it up for me?

A good set of bicycle lights will serve as trusty companions for many years, so spending some time researching the options available is highly recommend. If you're going to be riding at night on a regular basis, it's worth spending a little extra to guarantee you can do so safely and comfortably.
Here are the top five qualities to look for in bike lights:
Good Build Quality
There's no point spending money on items that can't hack the pace. If you're going to be flying along trails, or riding through poor weather conditions, you need to be able to rely on your lights at all times. The lights you choose shouldn't be affected by cold, water or mud, or you'll increase the chances of finding yourself lost in the dark.
A light that seems powerful at home can quickly become absorbed by all-encompassing darkness - so make sure you find a set that is powerful enough for your needs. Every extra lumen you can find will be beneficial in the wilderness.
A powerful light is all well and good, but it will be next to useless if it eats batteries. Running out of energy in the middle of nowhere can be very dangerous, so always check that you have sufficient power before heading out on a long ride. An efficient lighting system will reduce the total battery weight you have to carry along with you.
There are some big bicycle lights out there, and these can have a real effect on how your bike handles. It can be even worse if you're using a heavy helmet light as well, as this can cause neck strain and effect your balance. Make sure the lights – and batteries - you choose are subtly weighted, so there is no interference with your riding style.
High Quality Mounts
Some cheaper options skimp on the quality of mounts and fixtures. It's no good having professional lights if the plastic used to attach them isn't up to scratch. Make sure the lights you choose come with strong, durable mounts included, that will last as long as the lights themselves.
You should think carefully about the lights you choose, as you need to be able to rely on them when at the mercy of the dark. If you invest a little time into researching the right bicycle lights for you, you'll be sure to find a set that won't let you down.

My definitive Conclusion on the Movie
November 11th, 2008
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? is a movie that countered the racist stereotypes of it's time. It showed America a couple that was perfectly happy and completely unobjectionable despite the fact that it was an interracial one. To drive this point home, the filmmakers created the character of John Prentice as a man without flaws. The list of achievements he has done in the movie is almost overwhelming from his academic credentials to his professional work as head of the World Health Organization. He is also morally flawless, a key example being that he refused to engage in premarital sex with Joanna despite the fact that she attempted to initiate it. This all leaves the audience with only one possible reason that Joanna's father would object to the marriage. This strategy makes sense considering the racial climate of the 60's but undermines the movie's strength by creating an unbelievable character in Dr. Prentice. Overall though this characterization was necessary or else the audience would be able to believe that Mr. Drayton opposed the marriage for legitimate reasons. The movie is especially successful in its treatment of racism by showing the racial ideas of African Americans and Liberal Whites. It would be easy to show the racism of a white supremacist but the movie shows us the more subtle forms racism takes when present in people intellectually opposed to it.
Where the movie succeeds with regard to racial egalitarianism, it fails with regard to gender. It portrays the wife's role as to support her husband and certainly subordinate to him. Joanna comments at one point that she will be successful when she marries John because he is successful implying that a women receives her social status from her husband. John make the decision regarding the marriage's dependence on Joanna's parents' approval without her knowledge, which the movie shows as a good thing because John is protecting Joanna. John also says, to which the Drayton's agree, that he plans to have children because it isn't a marriage without children. Setting the fact that John doesn't discuss this with his fiancé aside, it is still surprising that a movie that attempts to expand marriage still has it rigidly defined in way that would exclude many people. This view of marriage of course puts emphasis on the wife's ability to have and raise children. All of this is problematic but the movie reveals its true ideal of women when Mrs. Drayton says that she has never disagreed with Mr. Drayton during their marriage. Besides being unrealistic, it makes a claim that a women's role is to support her husband through anything.
A major weakness of the movie comes in its naïve optimism. Like Joanna, the movie believes that the end of racism is just around the corner. John shows this when he says to his father, "you think of yourself as a colored man, I think of myself as a man." History has shown this optimism to be unfortunately overly hopeful. In the movie, all of the young people are completely not racist. Two out of three of the couples shown are in interracial relationships. The movie suggests that when the laws change the people change but that hasn't been true. By putting all of the racism on the older characters, the movie does a disservice by ignoring that racism is not just a generational thing, it is a cultural one.
Despite all of its shortcomings, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? remains an important movie that addresses race in a way that was progressive for its time. It allows us to see how recently the dominate discourse was that interracial unions were wrong. It also allows us to see that gender relationships were also unequal, as they still are today. The movie does cop out in the end though when the final definitive word on interracial unions is given by an old white man.

If you are new to the blog, I set a new years resolution/personal goal for myself to read at least 3 books a month. So far I have read 3 books in January, 4 books in February, 2 books in March, and 4 books in April. I really only missed reading 3 in March which is great but then May hit and I only read one book last month. One! We did go on two vacations with family so our weekends were pretty busy. Claire has been growing and experiencing the world around her and I didn't want to miss a second of her figuring out the world. With that being said I only got to read one book but it was a good one!
The Crown by Kiera Cass:
Eadlyn didn't think she would find a real partner among
the Selection's thirty-five suitors, let alone true love. But sometimes
the heart has a way of surprising you…and now Eadlyn must make a choice
that feels more difficult—and more important—than she ever expected.
Good: I love this series. If you love the Bachelor/Bachelorette you'll like reading these books. They are a quick read. I can read them in a day if I am really focused on reading and don't have any distractions. If you need a good book for the pool this is the one for you, read the other 4 in the series first though. I love who she ended up picking, it was kind of predictable but easily overlooked. The writing in this series isn't bad for a young adult novel either. I have definitely read some young adult books that I couldn't get through because of the writing but this one is different.
Not so good: It really isn't a stand alone book. In fact the entire selection series you have to read from book 1 through the end. Sometimes I like that, sometimes I don't. In this case since I had read the previous books I was fine with it but if I hadn't I would have been so confused the entire time.
Books I plan to read in June:
I am so excited for Summer. It means more reading time with camping trips, vacations, and reading outside while Claire plays in her play pen. I have been really into the poldark series on Amazon prime. I discovered that the series is based off of books so I am wanting to read at least the first one this month.
I also love regency era romance novels and the library has a few that I haven't read yet so I am hoping to get my hands on one and read that.
Why not me by Mindy Kaling. I want to read this one for Bon's book club this month because it just looks so good and fun and I love Mindy!
What books are on your summer reading list?

Several dozen people are suing the Catholic church in Montana over sexual abuse they say they suffered as children at the hands of clergy members.
The 34 plaintiffs, who now range in age from 45 to 73, say the diocese of Helena must answer for its "gross negligence." They are demanding monetary compensation plus a long list of remedial actions.
Those actions include publishing the names of all sexual abusers in the diocese and the formation of a task force that would investigate and monitor institutions run by the diocese.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Helena District Court, alleges the abuse took place from the late 1940s through the 1970s in the towns of St. Ignatius, Missoula and Arlee.
A diocese spokeswoman didn't immediately return a message.

At a distance, the gas flare keeps burning all day, all night, keeping it surroundings smeared with yellow paint, or sometimes by the black smoke, which are often concealed by the darkness of the night.
The streets are usually too busy flaunting off their diamond necklaces running on electricity.
The houses are mostly too involved in their own selves, their own brightness to notice themselves and be pleasantly surprised at how beautiful they look when they are seen twinkling from the distance.
I am sitting here ignoring these beauties because I am simply too preoccupied hoping for a better life, for a happier tomorrow, for a future where all my dreams have come true.
I am supposedly too busy to search for the stars ,which nowadays wear a blanket of clouds and urban lights to play a game of hide and seek, where the only rule is that they get to be the ones who hide.
I am too busy to notice the Moon that keeps shining, sometimes barely visible, sometimes barely invisible and the way she stands there, always, smiling brightly despite being told that she has an ugly spots-struck face ,which by the way, just makes her one of the most beautiful woman in the world.
I am simply just too much entangled with my life.
There is a fact about the sun and the moon; No matter what happens they never go away.
But the tiny suns and moons which we have created on earth are not that reliable. All it takes is a malfunctioning rotor or a broken transmission line and they forget everything they were given birth for.
And whenever this happens, whenever our suns and moons settle down unexpectedly, whenever there is nothing but pitch black darkness, it all slowly comes into picture.
Busy schedule hides away under scowls and curses to the transmission grid or more often to god.
With boiling blood and enraged mind we go out to catch some air.
And it is then we discover a night that is enlightened without any lights.
Why does it take a black out to realize how soothing it is to walk in nothing but a moon light.
To listen to crickets.
To watch the bats flying around.
To come across the cats with their shining eyes.
To get scared of dogs who are in turned too scared of you.
To realize how amusing it is to look at the faint but visible stars.
To compliment the moon.
To feel the cool natural air.
To realize how big the whole universe is and how, practically, we play so so tiny role in it.
How does it feel to be scared, to be crossed and to be in love with the darkness simultaneously?
How does it feel to break away from the world and be in the company of you yourself?
It feels good.
The past goes away.
The future stays hidden.
And all that is left is the present.
The darkness.
The amusement.
The fright.
The happiness.
The hope.

Carlos Mencia may never have more to laugh about than he does right now. Working his way up from the L.A. comedy club scene, and then through appearances in HBO specials and films such as Outta Time, the "observational comedian" reached new heights of popularity ever since Mind Of Mencia debuted on Comedy Central three years ago. In the show, Carlos (in the words of Comedy Central) "mercilessly skewers the current and the cultural, whether in the studio, in the audience, out on the street, and in commercial parodies. Enter Carlos Mencia's mind, and immerse yourself in his unique, unflinching take on the world."
The show Mind Of Mencia has proven so popular that DVDs have been issued for seasons one and two. Flying off the shelves just as fast are his other DVDs, a list that includes Not For The Easily Offended and No Strings Attached, the latter recorded live in San Francisco. And you can find Carlos in the CD section of your favorite store as well. Take A Joke America (originally released back in 2000) has recently been rereleased in tandem with his latest CD, This Is Carlos Mencia: Spanglish, which features Carlos doing more material than ever in and about his native language.
Born in Honduras, Carlos was raised in East L.A. (graduating from Garfield High School). Growing up "in the projects," Carlos may have been the class clown, but he was one who wisely stayed out of trouble. He once said, "I know how important it is for kids to have hope. I want them to look at me and say, 'Man, I could do that'."
In addition to his increasing TV presence (many thought that Carlos' spots for Bud Light, one of which found him teaching new Americans how to order beer in various regional dialects, were two of the better commercials to premiere during this year's Super Bowl), Carlos can always take his act on the road. One of the more popular touring comedians for the better part of the last decade, Carlos has come a long way from his earlier "Three Amigos" tours when he teamed up on stage with other Latino comedians. In 2006, The Punisher Tour, featured a solo Carlos slaying more people than ever with his wicked brand of humor, which includes poking fun at ethnic stereotypes, racism and the inability of some people to laugh at themselves.
"I've gotten in trouble with every race that you can imagine," Carlos once told a journalist. "They say, 'I can't believe that you talked about this. You're racist.' And I say, 'How can I be racist? Isn't racism exclusionary?' If all of you are offended, that's because I'm including every race in my jokes. I think that people all feel the same things most of the time, we just don't know how to put it into words. When I'm on stage, I say it. The truth makes people laugh."
One repeated target segment of Carlos' routine, however, is unable to comprehend the sting of his humor and thus unable to laugh at themselves or learn from the experience. Carlos has received much criticism over the years for his jokes aimed at individuals with mental disabilities. In fact, the "dee-dee-dee" that Carlos uses to parody those whom he deems as "stupid" has become his trademark, even turning up on T-shirts available through his website.
The official website, carlosmencia.com, contains a good deal of Mencia merchandise, in addition to tour schedules, videos, fan forum and more. Carlos also has a Myspace page. Like his Mind Of Mencia show, his CDs and DVDs, and his live act, both sites are well worth a visit when you need a laugh, even if it's at your own expense. Carlos is of the opinion that life should be filled with comedy, as shown by his catchphrase "If you ain't laughin', you ain't livin'."
Holy RollerYouth pastor, artist and lowrider enthusiast keeps the faith on the East Coast.Jonathan Barnes is a full-time youth pastor, artist and lowrider enthusiast living with his wife, Robin, near Baltimore, Maryland. He's the first to admit that there aren't many people on the East Coast who share his "strange combination of interests." The 26-year-old has no problem connecting these passions. "Many lowrider enthusiasts are very religious," he says, "and most neighborhoods and communities consider faith and church very important to their life and family."
Jon works at Columbia Presbyterian Church in Columbia, Maryland, as the Youth and Young Adult Ministries Coordinator, in charge of middle school, high school and college groups. He relates to the youths in his charge through artistic expressions, such as painting and music (he's also a DJ who likes to "create other worlds with lights, sound and multimedia").
Part of that artistic expression is lowriding. Jon drives a '96 Mercury Cougar with East Coast-style lowrider trimmings, and has several friends into the area's custom car scene. The guys back here go for mirrors, neon, strobes, blacklight, etc.
Jon's artistic passion extends to painting and photography. He's already had some of his art featured in Lowrider Arte Magazine, and we expect that we might see some more in the future. Good luck with your future projects, Jon, and keep the faith. Amen!

Today's shopping section is inspired by her uncountable outfits that impressed us most during the past few years. Our absolute favorite, even considering the current trends, is the period between the 1990's and 2000′, but we also love today's version, more high fashion and aware. She always impresses us with her sense of fashion that is for her inexplicably natural. Moss is boss!

Botanical garden
Didactic tours description:
With its trapezoid shape, the botanical garden of the Oasis River Alento tells the five environments more representative of Cilento. From Mediterranean scrub, wet area, prairies on the high seas to coastal zone up to the biodiversity typical of small field, walking paths in the garden, animated by trickles and colorful butterflies alighting from flower to flower, is possible to know the different various types of vegetation. Born from the restoration of native plants, the botanical garden is one of the novelties of 2015, a heritage of great value both from the scientific and historical-cultural point of view.

had always been just a tad sceptical about some of my Christian
and, not wanting to discover I had been deceived (due to pride), put off
a real
honest look at these experiences. But
lately I have been doing a little self-examination as we are commanded
to do (2
Cor. 13:5). The focus of my examination
was on Charismatic experiences in general and in particular, the gift of
tongues as exercised today and as experienced in my personal prayer life.
of you reading this may have also experienced some scepticism about your
experience or that of others. On the
other hand, some of you may be quite sure in your own mind about your
experience and have no doubts. But
whether you have doubts or no doubts, one thing is clear: Scripture
exhorts you
to examine everything that you or others claim to be part of the
experience. If your experience is
genuine, then you have nothing to be concerned about. If
it proves not to be genuine, then isn't it
better to find out now than to continue in delusion?
I made a number of discoveries I experienced the truth of Jesus words,
will know the truth and the truth will set you free." I
pray this will be your experience too.
I began to examine myself I started with the question, "If tongues can
a private prayer language, that does not have to be understood
the one praying (as is taught in Charismatic / Petnecostal circles) then
can the tongues speaker TEST what they are praying to see if it actually
from God?". This troubled me as
1 Thess 5:21 says "prove everything." so this must include
tongues. How could I prove that the
unknown words I were speaking were actually a gift from God, if I was ignorant
and did not know what I was saying?
Moreover, the first verse of the first chapter in
Bible to actually teach about tongues, says: "I would not have
you ignorant."
may come as a surprise to some but "ignorance" is not a spiritual
gift! Since
ignorance is not good and since many
places in the Bible say we to seek knowledge and truth. (eg. Prov.
also had to ask myself:
would God give me a gift that left me ignorant and, because of
could not be proved?"
A gift the Buddhists, cultists, Satanists and the
use. I had prayed in
tongues since
1980 about one week after the "Good News 80 Crusade" but recently
renounced them as not from God because when I examined my experience in
of the Scriptures that related to that experience, I discovered that the
did not back up my experience. Something
had to go. It wasn't going to be the Bible.
through his world, had convinced me that he would NOT tell me to test everything,
and then give me something I could not test. I
could not test it (tongues) because I could
not understand it.
Sure, I could say that as I prayed in tongues I often felt something rising up in my spirit - which I did, but sometimes I didn't (no different really to praying in English as far as feelings are concerned). I could say that on a couple of occasions when I prayed for some people in tongues, some said they felt they were released of something deep inside them - what that was we never knew, so that could not be tested either (but when praying in English, specific prayers were answered, and could be tested). I could say that on one occasion I spent three hours in prayer for the soul of a lost man, often praying in tongues, that I felt really close to God - the next day the man was saved (but there are many people who don't pray in tongues and after fervent prayer have seen souls saved. People like David Brainard who would spend hours in the woods praying for the Indians he had been sent to as a missionary).
I considered my experience in this way I was left with two problems.
1) If I use my experience to validate my experience I have no way of knowing if I had been deceived.
conclusions will always be subjective since they are based on my
fallible judgment and not on any objective standard of truth. There is only one place to go for that truth:
The Bible. The devil would love to keep
us out of this book. In fact, one of his
greatest missions is to snatch God's word from us so it cannot take
root. In the parable of the sower, Satan snatches
the Word. And Satan loves it when we
test our "spiritual" experiences without reference to this Word. All along I did refer to the Bible but to my
shame it was a rather shallow look.
Instead of studying "to show myself approved, a workman who
handles the word of truth" I was relying more on a few proof
and my experience to validate my experience.
A closer look would make me more vulnerable and I was avoiding
that. I may have had to admit that I was
wrong. I don't like being wrong. But
more than that, I hate being deceived -
that's why you're reading this. I don't
want others, perhaps you, to be deceived.
I care very much about my brothers and sisters in Christ and I
want to
encourage them to an open and honest examination of the "Charismatic"
experience and teaching.
not also forget that Satan (whose schemes we are told we should be aware
of and
who comes as an angel of light, as do his messengers) is not above
allowing a
"blessing" as long as he can slip in some false doctrine with
it. Spiritual warfare is not much
different than real warfare: the enemy will give you anything you want
as long
as it will help achieve his overall aims. That includes real
fruit as well as false fruit. When Moses struck the rock a second time
disobedience to God, the people were still blessed by the water that
flowed, even
though Moses was judged and not allowed to enter the promised land.
this time, I believe millions of Christians are being led astray because
have not allowed their "spiritual" experiences to be
"proved" in the light of God's infallible Word. Now
I'm not saying this because I've
interviewed millions of people and have documented the evidence but
rather, I'm
looking at a trend, which is evidenced, in a growing number of Churches
wide who are accepting and promoting non-Scriptural experiences. Many Christians are happy to attribute these
experiences to God simply on the basis that they felt good, made
feel close to God, and were promoted by good people. But
feeling good or sincere does not make you
immune to deception and is no proof that your experience was from God. Some people will point past the feelings to
positive fruit which they claim has come from their experience. But remember what we just said about warfare
and Moses.
such promoter of these experiences is Tommy Tenny who wrote "The God
Chasers". He said, "A man with
an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an argument." What!
Even if the argument comes from the Bible! The
stance taken is this: "I've had my experience
and there is no way you are going to argue me out of it." In other words, experience is put above the
truth of God's word which itself says that we should not go beyond what
written, as in the Scriptures (1 Cor. 4:6); the very thing which many
are now
doing. In so doing they are exchanging
the truth of God for a lie (Rom. 1:25).
line of reasoning reminds me of the tongue-in-cheek saying, "Never let
truth get in the way of a good story."
But this is no laughing matter.
The problem is that experience and feelings are not a reliable
guide to
truth. Read that again and think on it. There
is only one reliable guide to truth: God's Word. Furthermore,
fruit can be false, tares are
often sown among the wheat (see Jesus parable on this) and real fruit is
no sure proof that something is genuine.
There is only one sure proof test: God's Word.
not willing to test their experience
by God's Word is a candidate for deception.
Sadly, they may end up not just
having the disease but being a carrier!
So, first, if I use my experience to validate my experience I have no way of knowing if I have been deceived. Why? My conclusions will always be subjective and always based on my own fallible judgement. If I test my experience this way, I am open to deception since my test is based on my own subjective and fallible judgment and not on any objective standard of truth, which God's Word is.
2) The
fact still remains that I cannot validate what I do NOT understand! My words were not interpreted. So,
"How do I know I am not speaking
blasphemies?" I read an account once of a
missionary returning to their home church &
hearing a man speaking blasphemies against Christ in a service. The tongues speaker was convinced he was
praising God, as was the congregation.
But he was actually speaking terrible blasphemies in the language
missionary had trained in! In addition
to this, since I don't know what I am saying, not only might it be
but, "How do I know that what I speak are actually words at all - and
just gibberish?" Fact is: I
don't I speak them in faith? Yes, but
while the original Acts gift was spoken in faith it could also
interpreted! Every time! And
according to 1 Cor. 14, not only could
they be interpreted every time, they had to be interpreted. Every
time! This was possible because Acts 2:4,
6, 8 & 11 make it clear: they were ALL, known foreign languages.
Tongues were a missionary gift for the early church.
1 Corinthians 14:1-33 is not commending the Corinthians but correcting a
problem of the misuse of the gift of the real gift of tongues. It was misused because when spoken it was not
interpreted to bring understanding so the body could be edified.
edification of the whole body was the whole purpose of the
as 1 Chapter 12 makes clear.
A simple study of the frequency of certain words highlights the fact that tongues were meant to be understood
The for need speech to produce understanding, certainty and fruitfulness is spoken of 10 times.
The need to interpret to bring understanding and therefore edification is mentioned 5 times.
Problems with some being unlearned, is spoken of 3 times. If unlearned, then no understanding.
Now note this:
all the CONFUSION that arises from these things NOT being done,
contrasted 12 times with the CLARITY
that comes from prophesying;
is speaking forth God's Word, in words that are, "easy to be
(v. 9).
speaking in uninterpreted tongues is also described negatively as
into the air", sounding like a foreigner, leaving others being unable to
say "Amen" to a valid prayer.
And so far, we haven't even got into a serious exegesis of the
passage. This is just a simple word study!
you get the picture of what is going on in the Corinthian Church? One word sums it up. It's found
in verse 33...
Confusion: "For God is
not the author of confusion, but of peace..."
fact is that biblical tongues were never, given to edify the individual. Rather, they were one of many spiritual gifts
given to edify the body. They
were "for the common good" [NIV] "to profit withal"
[KJV] (1Cor. 12:7). And as God COMMANDS
us to buy TRUTH, WISDOM INSTRUCTION AND UNDERSTANDING "and sell it not!" (Prov.
then why would he give us unintelligible tongues to
"communicate" with?
You have communicated nothing if there is no understanding!
can there be communication without understanding?
Apart from the fact that the idea of communicating
to God in a language we don't understand is a bit of an
it actually goes against the character and nature of God who COMMANDS us
worship him in Spirit AND in Truth.
Not in Spirit OR Truth. Nowhere
in Scripture are we told or taught that the worship of God bypasses the
mind. Not once. Never!
In fact, it teaches the exact opposite.
therefore I do not know what I am praying (and neither does anyone else
who may
hear me or anyone else who speaks in "ecstatic" tongues - as a
private prayer language) then how dare I take the risk of coming to
God and seek to offer him my prayer and praise with my mind in neutral. If it is an ecstatic utterance that no one,
including me, understands, then not only are others unable to say
"Amen" to my prayer but even I myself cannot say "Amen" to
my prayer. This is a doorway to
deception and the demonic. 1 Cor.
14:13-19 makes it absolutely clear that without understanding of what is
your words are unfrutiful AND THAT IS A BAD THING!
it is the real gift, then it can be interpreted and that will be a
good thing.
words were meant to be understood, as the original gift of tongues were. Actually, that applies to any language.
Language itself is a gift from God. It
was given to Adam to communicate. Because the
tongues spoken in Acts were known
foreign languages they communicated. The
gospel was proclaimed and souls were won.
3,000 of them.
regret to say that until recently I have been deceived. At
the beginning it was ignorance that
kept me deceived. When I became suspicious it was nativity as I
I could not be deceived.
Eventually it was pride that for a time stopped me from
I had been deceived.
I have stopped praying in tongues, I have lost nothing of my passion for
serving Christ, even in a time of trial which I am presently going
through. In fact, I would say that I am
more sure of who I am in Christ than ever before. I
also have a renewed love for the lost, the
reason the Holy Spirit was given (Acts 1:8).
Interpreted tongues were one of the means that God used to bring
good news to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to Gentiles at Ephesus as per
I believe 1 Cor. 14 addresses the issue of the misuse of the real gift (which was experiencned in Acts) because there was the expectation that it could and should be interpreted. But I also believe that this gift has now ceased. So what are today's tongues? I believe that today's tongues are not a misuse of the real gift but rather a counterfeit. Don't worry, if you speak in tongues, it does not mean that you are demon possessed. For most people I believe it is a learned experience and one that in many cases is actually taught. How many times have you heard the speaker say, "Repeat after me: bla, bla, bla...." Note: in the Bible, a person is never taught to speak in tongues! In Acts, God just gave the gift supernaturally. No one was seeking it. And in Acts, it was always understood.
Do you ever wonder how in the world Satan will call together a one world church when the Churches are so divided?
This is not changing the subject. Hopefully you'll see the connection.
said recently, "when two or more come together in Jesus name, there is
division." So it's not going to be
easy for Satan to bring about a one world church. I've
been thinking about the above question
for a long time and have come to the conclusion that it will involve the
use of
COMMON SIGNS that will be "experienced" by people in all religions,
cults, occult, and non-religions. I
believe that Tongues (today's conterfeit) and "slaying in the Spirit"
(the latter is known as "serpent power" in the occult) are among
those common signs. They are already having a uniting effect across
denominations - even the Catholics who deny the atonement and "worship
wafer" (according to their own literature), are experiencing these
have reasoned from the fact that tongues is such a common experience,
that we
cannot say those with this experience have not had a real
encounter with
God. However it is dangerous to use the commonality
of a sign to validate an experience as being from God. There
is only one way to do that: from the Scriptures!
How do we protect ourselves from deception. See Jesus prayer in John 17:17.

Accounting consultant Tom Osler is in and out of his car all day visiting clients. He relies heavily on the car's hands-free options.
"Hands-free technology is essential to my business and my safety," Osler said. "It helps me communicate with my clients."
And it's not just hands-free radio controls anymore. Technology inside cars has gone from answering a phone call or setting the temperature to verbally imputing a destination in a navigation system and summoning music the driver may want to hear.
Nearly every auto company now offers some kind of hands-free options, and new technology is on the horizon.
"We're looking at potentially having voice-to-text e-mailing that would read your e-mails to you and take dictation of your voice when you do a response to that e-mail," said Karl Brauer of car specialist website Edmunds.com.
In fact, General Motors recently launched a pilot test that uses an OnStar application to let drivers send and receive texts and update their status on Facebook while driving.
Think this is something only the younger crowd is interested in? Think again.
"It's more demanded by younger groups, but even older people would like to be able to make safe, hands-free calls, get information updated, updates from friends and loved ones while they drive without having to manually type things or interact manually with some other device," Brauer said.
But not everyone's a fan of this kind of freedom, including the National Transportation Safety Board.
"When you're on the road, your primary responsibility is to make sure you get to your destination safely," said Debbie Hersman of the NTSB. "It's not to conduct business, not to socialize. It's to protect the people in your vehicle and all of those around you."
The NTSB acknowledges hands-free technology is helpful, but they still say it can be a distraction.
"What's still debatable is the kinds of things that might be a cognitive distraction, not necessarily distracting your hands, but distracting your mind and attention from the road," Hersman said.
Talking on the phone could be enough to divert attention when it's needed most.
Some of the new technology is designed to cut down on that distraction, including apps with automatic texting functions that tell others why it is the driver isn't responding.
The NTSB still argues the easiest way to handle that is to simply turn off the phone.

Amongst targets across 150 countries (including Australia), the National Health Service ("NHS") in England is still facing massive disruption following the most widespread and public malware outbreak for years.
As depicted below, the ransomware responsible, WannaCry, encrypts a computer's files and demands that the victim makes a ransom payment (in Bitcoins) before allowing access again. Until a payment is made all files hosted on infected computers remain encrypted and effectively inaccessible.
Click here to view image.
WannaCry spreads as a computer virus that exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows operating software and through "phishing" emails. Victims received emails with a purportedly legitimate attachment but which actually contained the executable code for the virus and which, once clicked, infected the victim's computer and then spread (by exploiting the vulnerability) across the victim's computer network.
Once WannaCry is inside an organisation it locates vulnerable machines and infect them as well. According to UK media reports, approximately 90% of the NHS computers were vulnerable to infection by WannaCry due to running Windows XP, a 15-year old operating system. Microsoft had released a patch for the vulnerability WannaCry exploits in March 2017 but had discontinued supporting older operating systems such as Windows XP some time ago. Subsequently, Microsoft has released a patch specifically for older operating systems (including Windows XP) that are vulnerable to WannaCry.
Once the Bitcoin payment was made, the malware generated a decryption key to enable the victim to decrypt the encrypted files.
What steps should Australian health service providers take to protect themselves from WannaCry (and other potential malware infections)?
The Australian Cyber Security Centre ("ACSC") issued urgent advice on 13 May 2017 (which it updated on 15 May 2017) to mitigate against the effects of WannaCry. The ACSC urged Australian organisations (including health service providers) to, at minimum, patch operating systems and applications to the latest versions to reduce vulnerability to exploitation.
To the extent that any Australian organisation is affected by WannaCry, the ACSC recommends that small and medium enterprises contact CERT Australia (the national computer emergency response team) on 1300 172 499.
Lessons and implications
However, this may only form a small part of the issue. As Jim Schuman from Peak Insight explains, large organisations supported by massive IT infrastructure have many partners and third party suppliers that connect to their network. It is therefore possible that a third party, which isn't as well maintained as it should be, could be responsible for the spread of the virus. Complexity in IT networks and third party risk will become a much larger issue for businesses as an organisation's cyber security protection is only as great as that of the weakest link in the network.
The cyber security attack at the NHS demonstrates the potential harm to the reputation of health service providers. It is a real wake-up call for organisations that hold sensitive medical or personal information as to the devastating impact an attack can have.
Australia's corporate regulator, the Australian Securities & Investments Commission, has repeatedly made it clear that, (see here and here) as part of the directors' discharge of their statutory duties, it is ultimately the responsibility of the directors to be aware of the risks and ensure the organisation's technology and computers are safeguarded against potential cyber-attacks.
When the mandatory data breach notification laws come into effect next year in Australia, organisations will be required to notify affected individuals of a serious breach of their personal information (as determined in accordance with the legislation). Further details on what health service providers need to do once the changes to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) come into effect are available in this recent article.
Now is an opportune time for health service providers to review and update their policies relating to the handling of confidential and sensitive information, including patient data. Under the microscope would be policies relating to privacy of personal information, email and internet usage, password protection and the use of mobile devices. Health service providers could also remind all users of the dangers of opening email attachments from unknown or suspicious sources.
Additionally, health service providers can look at their disaster recovery and business continuity plans to determine whether, in the event the computer network is infected by ransomware or other malware, the provider could recover from such an event and continue business as usual.
From a practical perspective, the exploitation of a known vulnerability in Microsoft's Windows operating system that was patched earlier this year suggests that health service providers look carefully at their IT practices to ensure that they have sufficient resources available to ensure that well-known vulnerabilities are patched as and when they become known.

HRG co-owner to present session on front-end business to pharmacy students
WAUKESHA, Wis. — Hamacher Resource Group will present a session about pharmacy layout, design and OTC merchandising principles to first-year students at Campbell University's pharmacy school, the retail consumer healthcare industry market research firm said Wednesday.
The company said that this would be the fifth year in which HRG co-owner and national account manager Tom Boyer would present at the school, in Buies Creek, N.C. The presentation will take place March 13. The company said the purpose of the session was to help students understand the importance of a pharmacy's nonprescription business.
"It's helpful to expose the students to these ideas early on, and the session is a great catalyst for further discussion," Campbell University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences professor Bob Cisneros said. "Tom, with all of his years of experience, makes the principles relatable for the students."
Nutritional Magnesium Association critiques recent U.S. Preventive Services Task Force report
LOS ANGELES — The Nutritional Magnesium Association on Wednesday noted magnesium is an essential nutrient that helps absorb necessary nutritional supplements like vitamin D or calcium in response to a recent U.S. Preventive Services Task Force report that suggested supplementing with these ingredients may not help prevent bone fractures in postmenopausal women, while also increasing the risk of kidney stones.
"Adequate levels of magnesium in the body are essential for the absorption and metabolism of vitamin D and calcium," stated Carolyn Dean, magnesium expert and medical advisory board member for NMA. "Magnesium converts vitamin D into its active form so that it can help calcium absorption and help prevent clogged arteries by drawing calcium out of the blood and soft tissues back into the bones where it is needed to build healthy bone structure," she said. "Nutrients act in a synergetic way in the body. Absorption and metabolism of a particular nutrient will be affected, to a greater or lesser degree, by the other nutrients available to the body. This is also true with vitamin D."
According to the nonprofit Vitamin D Council, "In order to receive the most health benefit from increased levels of vitamin D, the proper cofactors must be present in the body … magnesium, vitamin K, vitamin A, zinc and boron."
"It is vitally important that studies on the efficacy of vitamin D and calcium in relation to bone health are not done in isolation in the absence of magnesium," Dean said. "The fact that magnesium works synergistically with vitamin D and calcium by stimulating the specific hormone calcitonin—which helps to preserve bone structure and draws calcium out of the blood and soft tissues back into the bones, preventing osteoporosis, some forms of arthritis and kidney stones — cannot be overlooked."

This week Jeremy Corbyn, Labour politicians and their supporters have been election campaigning.
Unelected Tory Party leader Theresa May has opted for a more limited campaign so far.
Well she is called the "submarine" by some for obvious reasons and also "mummy" by some in her cabinet also for obvious reasons.
The General Election June 8, 2017, is important. Such elections are always important but this one is crucial for many voters and for many reasons. If Theresa May wins and wins big time she will have a free hand to extend so called austerity measures.
The Tory Party has a huge election campaign chest stuffed with money and will outspend the Labour Party.
But that does not guarantee the Tories will win on June 8.
One of the few promises the Tory Party has ever kept is holding an in or out European Union referendum. While the Tory Party is split and having serious rows behind closed doors the truth is that many Tory voters and supporters have a vested interest in the UK leaving the EU.
The Labour Party will respect the EU referendum result and British democracy but ensure we all get the best deal available.
Watch the campaign launch below, make sure you are registered to vote and on June 8 #VoteLabour
On December 1 the following was sent Tom Watson and others but shared online as an open letter;
"Dear All
Dear Tom Watson,
Well here we are again! Another day another letter!
This time it forms part of a formal complaint and therefore a copy will be sent to Iain McNicol as Labour's General Secretary, Jeremy Corbyn as party leader and the validation team.
After Jeremy was re-elected party leader in 2016, like many party members and supporters, I was hopeful we had turned a corner.
Labour's so-called broad church allows for a range of appropriate groups to actively support the party though it does exclude some.
Diversity is the name of the game but drawing a line is important.
In light of Labour First's latest divisive, insulting, antagonistic and disrespectful email newsletter we are again at a crossroads.
This group intends to utilise Tory tricks of divide and conquer in its quest to return the party to a brief period in its history, 1997 to around 2008. But it is now 2016 and the political landscape and challenges have moved with the times although Labour First boss Luke Akehurst still appears to be stuck in a time warp.
What is disconcerting is that you, Tom Watson Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, appeared as a guest speaker at Labour First's annual meeting Saturday November 26, 2016.
Did the meeting discuss Labour First's plans including an email to be sent out this week asking for funds and written in a divisive tone?
I know you tend to decry the online publication the Canary but it has written on this latest incident and included a donation image.
The image is very telling.
Martin Taylor is a hedge fund manager and Frances Barber is an ageing actress who's Twitter timeline is nasty, aggressive and very anti Jeremy Corbyn.
If she is a Labour Party member she posted enough abuse during the summer of 2016 to be not only suspended from the party but expelled and NOW
The email from Labour First is widely available online though we have opted not to share in full as Mr Akehurst has slapped a copyright symbol on with the words all rights reserved.
But the gist of the letter is this - it starts with an apology after addressing the recipient as if John McDonnell is now leader of the Labour Party. An apology of sorts follows; apologies for scaring you John McDonnell is not leader of the Labour Party; not yet unless you sign up and pay up. It goes on with allegations that the Hard Left, abusive terminology in my opinion as a Jeremy Corbyn supporter, want to push for a "McDonnell amendment" so that MPs without a high level of parliamentary support can be on the ballot.
The whole email is divisive and against Labour values.
It is an insult to the party, its democracy, its members and the electorate.
WE need a united Labour Party geared up to win the next election.
As long as Labour First are supported by mainstream Labour MPS such as yourself they will continue to divide the party and ultimately wreck its election chances.
So the question now is who is strong and honest enough to publicly remove Labour First and the man behind this nasty little group from the Labour Party?
The following forms part or this letter HERE
Friday December 9, we still had no reply and so contacted the team again to make sure they were aware how many people had signed the open letter.
Monday December 12 we have received an email reply from Tom Watson or a member of his team. It says;
Thank you Eileen for your email.
Of course that needed a reply and this is what I sent;
While I can agree with that, the last sentence "I know Jeremy would agree that launching petitions criticising party members is not the best way to take the fight to the Tories" is somewhat of a joke surely. Or at the very least it is laden with irony.
A couple of those said images are included in this report.

Plantation — When Jennifer Wigand put down a deposit in 2005 for a condominium in a multi-use development called Veranda at Plantation, she hoped to quickly sell it and use the profits to help pay her law school loans.
Then the housing market plunged. Wigand said she wasn't worried because the developer had promised she could back out any time and her money would be returned. But in July, when she asked to take part in that program, Wigand said she was told it had been canceled.
Like an increasing number of buyers in South Florida, Wigand last month filed a lawsuit to get out of the deal. Last week, 20 other buyers in Veranda joined her suit.
"I was disappointed that the developers and their agents went back on their word," said the 24-year-old Fort Lauderdale resident. "I just want my [$39,200] deposit back."
Ken Simigran, president of builder WestCity Partners, Inc., declined to comment on the buyback program, but insisted, "Our contract is very clear. We have delivered on everything we were supposed to perform on."
Brad Hunter, director of the South Florida region for Metrostudy, a housing market research firm, said more lawsuits are being filed because "there is a lot of buyer's remorse out there. Naturally people will be looking for ways to get out."
About 40 percent to 60 percent of buyers are trying to wiggle out of their contracts, said Gary Poliakoff, a Fort Lauderdale attorney, referring to a dozen projects in South Florida that his firm represents, including Veranda.
"The claims and the suits are namely a means for an end for investor-buyers to get out of deals where they weren't able to realize the profits they expected, but it doesn't mean the reasons are legitimate," Poliakoff said.

Just over two years ago I was sexually abused by my ex boyfriend. (I was 16) And I was always violently bullied at school and even carrying on to the present day. Ever since, I have felt really strong feelings of anger and depression. I have a boyfriend now who I have been with almost two years. He is wonderful, but I'm scared he will finish with me if I carry on feeling like this. He has hinted that I need to change...
We often get into arguments because I feel so worried he will hurt me or put me second best.
I really can't seem to shake off these feelings of anger, stress and paranoia. I get violent, but I never hit people. I usually just hit objects or walls, and have even taken it out on myself (self harmed). I'm at a loose end and really want to save my relationship and make new friends but everyone thinks I'm this horrible person, and I'm really not.
Please can anyone help me?

Redbalifrog Pomegranate Silver Charm Bead. Ancient Egyptians regarded the Pomegranate as a symbol of prosperity and ambition....Every part of the plant (root, bark, flowers, fruit, leaves) is used for medical purposes and has healing properties. It has extensively been used as a source of traditional remedies for thousands of years. In parts of the world the Pomegranate is also used in recipes for Christmas and also as festive decoration...Redbalifrog beads are original designs inspired by nature, myth and beautiful objects. They are meticulously carved in wax and hand cast in solid 925 silver by an experienced sculptor in Bali. Redbalifrog beads are completely compatible with both Trollbeads and Pandora bracelets, making them a perfect addition to your existing collections.
This Redbalifrog bead is one of the most unusual beads I've come across in
years. I am so impressed with the weight of silver compared to Trollbeads and
the level of detail. They are mini works of art.Ellie (Apr 24 2013, 16:06 PM)

Hey Fellow Bees!
A few weeks ago, I wrote a super brief post about my Boyfriend or Best Friend telling me a timeframe and now I have a sneaking suspicion it's going to happen on NYE! Too many things are being secretive and he is throwing a huge party with some of my closest friends (flown in from Texas, California, and elsewhere). I am trying to stay calm just in case but I really think this is it. I'm not telling anyone IRL because I know my Boyfriend or Best Friend wants it to be a surprise and he wouldn't want to know that I am suspicious. He's just not too good at getting things past me! I'm going to be swamped at work this week, but I'll check in after the party to confirm (or not). Let's hope! Fingers crossed!!!
