On April 14, a convoy of BSF was passing through Batamaloo area of Uptown Srinagar. It came under heavy stone-pelting by the local crowd. This crowd not only pelted stones but some of them also tried to snatch weapons of BSF personnel. BSF fired in the air but it did not scare away the crowd. One stone-pelter by the name Sajad Hussain got killed in the clash. The crowd of stone-pelters later ran away. Now the J&K police has registered an FIR of murder against the BSF Sub Inspector Rajinder Baghdi.
On April 16, in the Kashmir Valley, stone-pelters threw petrol bombs on a convoy of CRPF vehicles. However, by the grace of God nobody was injured and only one vehicle was destroyed.
Recently, a video has gone viral on Facebook where CRPF jawans are seen being kicked and abused by a mob of stone-pelters and yet they were not retaliating. Their restraint was lauded by the Indian netas.
Enough of this nonsense! Modi government at the Centre and state government of J&K must explain, are the Indian troops meant to be kicked, abused and stone-pelted upon? Why are they carrying arms if they are not to be used? Are the judges of the apex court Gods that they are interfering in the legitimate duty of the Indian Army? When Army is protected under AFSPA then how come SC judges have authorised the J&K police to lodge FIRs against Army personnel?
Netas of Congress like Digvijay Singh are comparing the Army with the jehadis. The local netas of J&K are not saying anything against the stone-pelters but are targeting the Army because they find the Indian Army a soft target. The Modi government must realise that this stone-pelting will stop only when security forces start working on the principal of `ek goli ek dushman'.
The stone-pelters are being instigated by the separatists who are on Pakistan's payroll. The need of the hour is to remove all protection provided to separatists and let these stone-pelters protect them. Impose Governor's rule in J&K and put an ex-Army General as the Governor in the state, just like late Indira Gandhi had done. And within one month, all will be calm in the Kashmir Valley.

David Higgins is my guest today, a short story writer who has found that the problem of fitting into the category straight-jacket is amplified when your short stories aren't all in the same style. Here's how Dave copes with the conundrum and gives us his take on the genre monster.
Genre didn't exist when I was young.
While I became aware of genre later (and that other people might be more guided by it) I never let it constrain my reading choices. So it came as a surprise to me when I planned my first release, quite how obsessed the publishing and distribution industry was with genre. And that, for every issue novels faced due to genre, there were twice as many for short story collections.
When I say genre didn't exist when I was young, I mean of course that I had no reason to care about it when…

FBR analyst Randy Binner said in a phone interview that investors suspect Fed Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke could flatten the yield curve. This might make it tougher for life insurers to make money for their investment portfolios. In midday trades, MetLife dropped 6% to $31.04. AIG lost 5% to $24.23. Genworth Financial GNW, -0.64% lost 5% to $5.85. Prudential fell 4% to $49.11.

Hookuo dating updating disconnected datasets
If your last search was anywhere around best hookup apps or hook up apps, then you're landed on the right web-page.
In the world of internet, numerous apps have been developed for hooking up and finding a partner for oneself.
Read on to see our top five picks for apps that will help you find a date tonight.
Tinder may have rock solid reputation for being the hookup app, but there's a new player in town.
that is, if you agree with the September article by Nancy Jo Sales, "Tinder and the Dawn of the 'Dating Apocalypse." Not convinced? If someone you like also swiped right on your photo, the app immediately informs you, "It's a Match! The Appeal If you've familiar with online dating, you may wonder what the appeal is, and how you can find someone worth your time given what little information the app gives and requires. The app is simple, easy on the eye and feels like a game. It's a matter of choosing whether to swipe left or right. You'll rationalize your swiping decision based on age, distance and a short bio (if included). Swiping left or right depends on how attractive you find a candidate, and that's pure emotion. If you believe the hype and speak to the wrong people, you'll be convinced that Tinder is just another hook up app. Almost 60 percent of all women who wrote a narrative in their profile included a reference to NOT wanting a hook-up. But you'll find just as many interesting, attractive and successful people who are only interested in a committed relationship. What happens after you're matched, depends on you and your partner.
It's a balmy night in Manhattan's financial district, and at a sports bar called Stout, everyone is Tindering.
The tables are filled with young women and men who've been chasing money and deals on Wall Street all day, and now they're out looking for hookups.
XOXO So, people are aware of Tinder's "hook-up" reputation, yet they are still willing to try the application hoping to connect with someone who is also looking for a serious relationship. There's plenty of discussion about the "seriousness" of mobile dating apps.
If someone makes you uncomfortable, un-match them, report the issue and move on.
However, the number of hookup apps is freaking high, on the market, and all hookup claims to be the best.
One thought on "hookuo dating"
This can be a bit of a hassle, especially if the woman is taller than the person she's banging. According to Nobel prize-winning geneticist, James Watson, women who are chubby are more likely to enjoy sex than thin women.
We provide you ways to find free Skype sex contacts and IDs and beautiful babes and gorgeous guys who are down for random good times and fulfilling your most voyeuristic fantasies.

Book Review: The Raven BoysAuthor: Maggie Stiefvater
Published: 2012
Series: Raven Cycle #1
I picked this book up because of the rave reviews, but I also loved Maggie Stiefvater's last book I read, The Scorpio Races. I was not disappointed…
The Setting
"There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark's Eve. Either you're his true love…or you killed him." That ghost turns out to be Gansey, a wealthy young man attending Aglionby School who has a dark and secret quest of his own. Mesmerized by the magic surrounding him, Blue offers to help Gansey search for the impossible; making her own choices instead of heading to a psychic's reading, something she has done her whole life. Blue, along with her new found friends, experience the sacrifices and greed that go along with searching for something powerful.
What I LIKED about this book
Everything. I love Stiefvater's writing and world building. She describes the setting and characters beautifully. I love the supernatural of this book, it offers twists and cliff-hangers like you wouldn't believe. While Stiefvater sets up the series for romance, there is actually little in this book so I could see boys being drawn to this story as well.
What I DISLIKED about this book
Hmmmm...I have to wait for the next book in the series? Lame!
Parting Thoughts
I'm going to award The Raven Boys 5 out of 5 stars. I loved it! Fans of fantasy and mystery will love this book too. I should mention that while Stiefvater's writing is beautiful, it may not draw you in or keep you turning the pages in the beginning. But stick with it, it's so worth it. I'm serious people, get out there and read The Raven Boys!

This week I was asked to present my "3 Keys to Sales Success – Visibility, Relevance and Timing" at the BNI luncheon in Boise, Idaho. Leading up to the presentation each participant introduced them selves and gave their 60 second pitch about their company. One of the attendees, Martin of Carbonated Carpet Solutions opted to give a shout out to two other BNI members, Charley Kouba of Idaho Bank and Dr. Alan Barnes of Price Chiropractic. He shared how each of these professionals had helped him through a challenging week. Charley Kouba helped arrange new financing for a new service van when his old van unexpectedly died. Dr. Barnes offered literally "straighten things out and got him back on his feet" with his chiropractic services when he threw his back out the same week his van died.
The sharing of his story aligned very nicely with my presentation. When I got to the importance of relevance and timing in the sale process I asked Martin a few questions about his experience with Dr. Barnes.
Question 1: "Before your back went out were you a customer of Dr. Barnes?"
Answer: "Yes, but I hadn't seen him in a while"
Question 2: "And why was that?"
Answer: "I got busy and it honestly it didn't seem as important, "or relevant", at the time."
Question 3: "How relevant were his services last week when your back went out? Had the timing of being hurt changed the relevance and urgency for his services?"
Answer: "It was CRITICAL! Without him I couldn't have worked."
While I didn't ask Martin about his specific experience with Idaho Bank the process was identical. He explained, "As soon as I realized I needed a new vehicle I knew exactly who to call for a new fleet loan." There was not hesitation. Just a call to the banker who could help solve his problem when the timing was right.
In both cases each sales professional had invested time in staying visible – attending BNI, sitting down for one-on-ones, attended similar marketing events, etc. In every interaction, they continually worked to build relevance by highlighting their services and sharing stories how they had helped customers. Each interaction, each story, each visible moment built a trusting relationship that when the timing of a relevant situation rose its opportunistic head they were the first ones Martin called to solve a problem.
Remember each of the services used by Martin were always relevant to him. However, it wasn't until the timing of a situation that the relevance of a product led to a call to action and a close of a sale.
How are you doing in your quest to stay visible and relevant so that when the timing is right for your potential customers that they turn to you?

Serpent on a Pole
In a previous post I warned you that as I explored the height, width and depth of the Whore Babylon, some would think me a loon. I also mentioned that my mother-in-law had just died of lung cancer. She was a heavy smoker for 40 years. I found it ironic that the same family fortune (Duke) that gave her the cancer in the first place from smoking was now making as much money or more on the effort to treat her.
What I am about to discuss here is the RELIGION of modern medicine. In this discussion I am not saying that we should not see doctors or use medicine, but I am saying that there is a better higher more excellent way. Many times the good can become the enemy of the best. Doctors are viewed by many people as though they were Gods or High Priests; having the power of life and death in their hands. They put all their faith in them and seem surprised when they make a mistake or don't have a cure for everything. The fact is that much of what is done in medicine today is just guess work and experimentation.
With this in mind let us look back at the history and origin of "Medicine" and its "Symbol" I think we will discover that it is very much part of this "Great Whore".
In the book of Genesis there is an account that few pay any attention to. The Bible tells us that giants (Nephilim) were in the earth in those days. How did they get here? Satan has known since the beginning that Gods plan for salvation would come through the seed of a woman, and knowing that with that salvation would come his own destruction; Satan has sought since then to corrupt and destroy mankind. In Gen.6: 1: "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2: That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3: And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he ALSO is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4: There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5: And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." Apparently these fallen angels where having offspring as a result of their union. This is another account of spirit and flesh having produced a child. Satan's counterfeit of Jesus born of Spirit through Mary; God's purpose to save mankind and Satan's purpose to destroy it. In "The Book of Enoch" we see an interesting account of some of what happened as a result of these relations man had with the fallen angels. First let me discuss for a moment the "Book of Enoch" itself. I know some would say it is not the Bible, but it is referred to in the Bible and quoted. In fact many scholars believe that the account I just posted here from Genesis, Moses learned from the account in "The Book of Enoch". Jude quotes directly from it Jude: 1:14: "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints" (Enoch 1:9). Notice that Jude was not talking about just any Enoch but the one that was "Seventh from Adam" and before the flood. This is what Jude is talking about in vs.6 "And the angels which kept not their first estate, (the spiritual realm) but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7: Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh," The strange flesh that this is referring to here in context was the men of Sodom were going after the Angels. This has nothing to do with homosexuality as some of the modern translations have mistakenly interpreted. The early church looked at this book along with the "Epistle of Barnabas" as Scripture. Some believe these writings survived by being carried on the Ark with Noah, and then latter having been in Joseph's care they were in the coffin with him as he was taken out of Egypt. Now let us have a look at a passage in the book to see what happened. Chapter 7. vs.1 "And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms 2 and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they 3 became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells." Here we see these falling angels teaching mankind how to use the things of the earth. In another place they teach them metallurgy. This may seem at first a good thing, but what in fact is happening is they are teaching man to be independent of God. This is the earliest form of Witchcraft and use of drugs and medicines. The "cutting of roots" and "acquainted with plants" was the making of potions for use in healing or casting spells and altering consciousness.
The first time we see the serpent on a pole is in Numbers 21. vs. 5: "And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loathes this light bread. 6: And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 7: Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. 8: And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, shall live. 9: And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived." This is a prophetic picture of Jesus' on the cross. He is depicted as a serpent because He had become sin for us. The serpents that were biting the Israelites and causing death are a depiction of sin. Rom:6:23: "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." We, like the Israelites are healed by looking upon the cross of Christ. Is this meant to be only spiritual healing? Mt:9:29: "Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you."
The next place in history we see the serpent on a pole is in the Greek city of Pergamos. In this city the main attraction was the Temple of Esculapius. The statue pictured above is from this temple. It was this temple that all the sick would attend to receive treatments and advice. It dates from 400- 390 B.C. Most would agree that this is where the modern symbols of medicine come from. I found it astounding that in the book of Revelation it is called "Satan's seat" Rev.2: 12: "And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13: I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.". So again, we see the true, and the counterfeit; Gods Serpent on a pole and Satan's. Shouldn't Gods be the more powerful and trustworthy?
In the New Testament when we see the word "Witchcraft" used it comes from the Greek word Pharmacia. This is where our word Pharmacy comes from. It is the use of drugs. What am I saying? Do I mean that we are not to use medicines? Well ultimately yes, we won't need to. I believe Jesus is capable of healing our bodies as well as our souls. Do I think we are ready to walk in that yet? NO!!! I do believe that that day is at hand though. God is in the process of showing us the truth about modern medicine and causing us to have to rely on Him. Did Jesus heal for profit? When we wonder why the price of drugs is so high, we are told that they need to be in order to encourage more and better drugs. It is all about the profit motive, or the "Love of money." Now we are beginning to see the true spirit behind the drug industry. The seed that was planted back with the "Nephilim" and the fallen angels is now grown into a tree, and we see the greedy fruit. I understand Michael Moore is doing a documentary on the subject. That promises to be very interesting. What ever happened to the idea of wanting to be of service to mankind? More and more people are unable to afford the medicines we have become so dependant on, and insurance rates are going through the roof. In fact the profit motive is an incentive not to cure but to keep people in need of their drugs. Look at the viral disease HIV; people that are infected need medications that cost several thousand dollars a month. You tell me, where is the incentive to cure that illness? Just keep the cash flowing. If you create a cure or a vaccine, the money stops. People today are more dependent on drugs than ever before and we have supposedly made great strides in medical science; Yet the prospects of a plague being unleashed upon mankind is more ominous than ever. In our spirit man seems to know that the time is at hand, almost everyone in places like NYC that are financially successful need to go to a therapist. Sales of antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs are in the multi billions. Was this the way God meant it to be? God gave us guide lines for physical and spiritual health. I read a great book on the subject years ago; about the Biblical guidelines for health I believe it is still available ("None of These Diseases"). The idea is that if we were living according to Gods design most of the health problems we have would not exist.
As this new day dawns and God pours out of his Spirit, the darkness will get darker and the light will get lighter. Rv:22:11. We have had a lot discussion on the Antichrist and the dark hoards he is unleashing. There will be much tribulation as the travail of the birth pangs get more intense, but to the true believer these thing will be as a refiners fire to perfect the saints. To the wicked it will burn them up. Rom:5:3: "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;" In the early church we saw a shadow of the spiritual power and healing Jesus spoke of when he said Jn:14:12: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." When Peter walked if just his shadow fell on someone they were healed. Acts:3:6: "Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk." This is not the phony Pat Robertson fake stuff, but the real thing. We have not seen the "greater works" happen in the church yet, but it will in these last days. The scripture teaches that Hag:2:9: "The glory of this latter house ( the end time church) shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts." Amen and Amen Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
As I labor in the word to teach I do appreciate your comments.

Thank you that was an intriguing history lesson on the origin of the staff and the snakes. Impressive connection to Jesus on the cross as a prophesy of Moses too. I've yet to delve deeply into the old testament, my mom used to talk to me about it though and one of the best ways to get a running start is to have good food to eat served up by the most trustworthy person you know, right? :) She did tell me that it was angels that had relations with men in Sodom and Gomorra, evidence she was reading a reliable bible.
I very much agree with you that there is very much money to be made in keeping people sick. It has gotten so much worse just in my lifetime. I know there is proof out there somewhere that black men, unknown to them were deliberately given Syphilis while visiting the doctor so that some US agency (military maybe?) could watch how the disease developed. I wish I could offer more than that, just caught it on the Bev Smith show one day while listening to Air America Radio. Definitely worth looking into for your points sake though.
Anyway, very nice post. One thing... when I was reading of Jesus and the apostles healing, casting out demons, the demons they are talking about are as common as a rebellious child is today for one example. The blind they healed were people who did not know truth but then learned it from he and his apostles. The deaf can now hear the truth, the mute can now speak the truth, the "lame can now walk" means they can now see the light and know they are saved by the Lord Jesus Christ, forgiven and renewed... so on so forth. The miracles spoke of, where Jesus "walked on water" this is not literal. His truth and revelation was above even that of John the Baptist, this is why the apostles were amazed, he baptized them in the Holy Spirit, they know truth because he can speak directly to their souls without having said a word allowed. Whereas John merely preached to them things that were truth, that they can understand and see his point, but he spoke to them literally. "His head being put on the platter" for the Pharisees to exploit would be like how there are some preachers now who are skilled at lip service but are poisoning minds. Of course Jesus had to be good at speaking his mind which is why it was necessary for him to be baptized by John, it was Jesus being endowed with the gifts that John possesses, being in command of the spoken word combined with his being in command of the Holy Spirit.
"Blood is thicker than water" we are baptized in the blood of Christ
Moses = seed = conception = introduction
John/Elijah = water = physically = outside
Jesus = blood = spiritually = inside
It is like life itself the woman conceives, gestation is in water, then when we are born we BREATH. Breathing = life, Jesus = life.
Doing the best I can to illustrate my point, not quite as eloquent as you, but I'm hoping this is understandable.

Peace, they were real miracles. The literal blind saw with their eyes, and yes he did literally walk on water. He is the Lord God incarnate. With Him all things are possible. He has power over the material universe.
- Peace said...
Yes, "real miracles" and if for someone to truly know God all things are in deed possible. What do we need to be possible though? Do we need to literally walk on water, what does that mean to anyone's life or death? What good is a miracle if it does you no good? Much more convinced that the miracle they (the disciples) were encountering was something that can never be explained away as cool but meaningless to the over all point of Jesus and who he is. As to the amazement a child feels when a magician performs an illusion, they are faithful and do not doubt it can be done therefore it is real to them until someone tells them of the trick and then they forever lose faith in any truth that one should feel true everlasting truth. Jesus can not later be explained away as a skilled magician as a master illusionist... His "miracle" is undeniable truth that can not be shaken ever by any mere word.
If any person were sick he healed them by convincing them of his power over death of Heaven. If we die we are not dead but born into his perfection. Why would anyone who knows the truth of heaven be afraid to leave this world?
He went into a house and raised a little girl that was dead, he told her parents they had little faith, "she is not dead but only sleeping", raised the little girl and told her parents to give her something to eat. When our parents are hypocritical or lie to us, although it may be to protect us from that which they fear, when a child learns of the lies they may become rebellious and lost in the wilderness. It is a self protective reaction and it is from, God. The parents meant no harm and really thought they had lost their daughter her spirit had left her... today a parent might say to a none responsive child, "who are you, you used to be so sweet and precious, now I do not know who you are, the person I once knew is dead" The parent tried everything, gnashing of teeth (anger) to weeping, nothing would bring their child back to them and the parent will be in mourning of their child... these parents had one thing going for them that would save them all... their love and faith... they knew and believed that Jesus could help. The child was never dead, Jesus being truth in the highest has the power to explain to the child that her parents meant no harm and all is well and how much they love her, he as well was able to teach the parents to give her something to eat, "tell her the truth". Jesus was tangibly there for them but he is working these same miracles for families ever day and they may not know the truth that saved their family has a name and it is, Jesus....... This was an example to try and express my point, but there are many ways in which a parent can produce a none responsive child. Worst case the child does not rebel against lies but instead learns to becomes a liar. Even then, no one is beyond redemption from the Lord and there is the true "miracle".
I believe what you are saying, that Jesus in deed has the power to really walk on water, that he does truly raise the dead and will, he could heal any afflicted person of any disease. I know of blind people (literally blind) that see (figuratively) far better than the most knowledgeable in the laws. Who is afflicted more? The blind man who can see or the sited man that is blind? The least among us are the first among us.
If we did not fear death we would not fear illness, wars would not scare us, terrorists would gain nothing by the use of fear.
- Peter Zarcone said...
Peace.. Your points are well taken and absolutely correct. The importance of the spiritual and it's implications are utmost. I would however say that this earthly realm is also important. Yes there is spiritual meaning in all, but this dimension belongs to the Lord as well. In the Lords prayer, He prayed "Thy Kingdom come in Earth as it is in Heaven". That which now exists in the invisible dimension will be made manifest in this material realm. "The Kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ and He shall reign for ever and ever." Rev. 11:15. I believe that when Jesus walked on water, it was not just a magic trick, but a demonstration of his rule over the material universe. Are you saying you do not believe that He physically healed the sick? or that Lazarus was not really dead and raised from the dead? Job:19:26: "And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:" You and your mom will be raised up at the last day. "This mortal shall put on immortality"

We are not in disagreement, Peter. I am bringing the spiritual, which I already believe in faith to reality. Do you see the similarities to my story of the child to the the big picture? It is one in the same... "on earth as it is in heaven". It helps people tremendously when you can show them that Jesus is alive and in their lives here and now, helps them to.... "see". Because of my faith in God and the word even I have been a vessel for the Lord to cure blindness, I may have planted the seed and even watered it, yes, I have baptised and didn't even know it, I'm sure you and many millions of others have as well, but a child could do this 10 to 1 over all of us. This is nothing compared to what the father has in store for his children.
There are 12 tribes... there were 12 pieces of bread and fish left over in the baskets. One does not cancel out the other it is part of the whole picture. I am not here to challenge your knowledge, but to add my piece. It fits into the puzzle somewhere I hope you can see that, as I do see yours and, thank you.
Onto another subject that you will recognize... I'll share "thoughts" with you... then ask you a "question" that I feel you would be most helpful in getting to the bottom of on your level...
One of the first stumbling blocks we encounter as a child is when we find out Santa Clause is not real. Children believe in him and it is because their parents introduced the entire concept into their head, at the same time they also are introducing the concept of Jesus. They've already started the battle between good and evil, truth and lie, trust and distrust... the foundation for the tower of babble has been formed, otherwise known as "confusion". Santa is given all of the powers they tell their children that Jesus has... "he sees you when your sleeping, knows when you're awake, knows if you've been good or bad, so be good for goodness sake" then a few years later drop the bomb that he is non existent but expect their children to then believe them when they tell them about Jesus? Christmas is completely commercialized and all about "materialistic" gifts completely the opposite of the gold refined by fire that Jesus is promising... yadda, blah, blah I think we all know where I am going with this. Whoever was it that introduced Saint Nicolaitan to the picture anyway? Oops, "Nicolas" Freudian slip, maybe we should call him by his nick name so that won't happen again... Satan Claws... Oh my, I mean "Santa Clause", slipped again, hm, snake bit me once his fault, twice, my fault, whelp guess there's no getting around it? Ah, but somehow we do, we do end up recognizing Jesus in spite of the stumbling block... this takes realizing that there are more important things to life than materialistic gifts. We can still go on having Christmas with all the bells and whistles knowing that it's all a festive birthday party and showing our love for one another through bringing a smile, the gift is the "smile". Jesus triumphs. :)
I read that the Nicolaitan was basically a religion that was founded by one, "Nicholas" and is false doctrine of the most insidious kind, can you elaborate on that? You know I get the idea about who they are, but let's dissect this if we can for further proof of the hypothesis given shall we? No need for a rapid answer, if you answer it here or in a future post, I'm patient, just throwing it out there.

This seems a good reiteration of the definition of the one I gave on Stephen's board... only a put together better... Sheesh, hopefully no one will knock them off the net, after what happened with the Wikipedia and all. Wikipedia is editable by the visitor so no doubt is was someone like whoever's in here cluttering up your board? Anyway, knowing that Wikipedia is an easy target... maybe it's okay to put this link up to back up my logic...
Who were the Nicolaitans?"
Not sure where I read the "religion" thing though, skimming by one day looking for something else, no link to share, probably no such thing, but if you have anything, Peter, let me know.
- Peter Zarcone said...
Peace... I totally agree with your observations about "Satan Claws"; the whole holiday is nothing but a pagan fest. It has nothing to do with Christ's birth. Jeanne was correct in part of her assumptions when talking about Constantine. He had corrupted the church and Christianity. Christmas is in fact one of his corruptions. First Jesus was probably born in October not in December. His birth was probably a fulfillment of the "Feast of Tabernacles". Jesus was 33 1/2 when he was crucified in fulfillment of scriptural prophecy in Daniel. March-April is not a half year away from the end of December. He had taken the pagan festival of the winter solaces and added Christ's birth to it. Easter is the pagan celebration of the rights of fertility of which the "bunny" is a common symbol. The name comes from the god Ishtar. Christmas brings out the best in kids, it teaches them to be materialistic, and to want more; to argue with their siblings; to cause their parents to go into debt, and lots more. Then there is the counterfeit god attributes. All knowing, Omni-present (everywhere in one night). What about the poor kids, where they bad? When I saw these things I had determined that I would not tell my kids about Santa, also considering that they would grow up and realize they had been led to believe a lie and when they found out that Santa was fake , they'd say "How about this Jesus guy, I can't see him either". Well I soon learned that it was futile to try to hide Santa from my kids. Every time we would go out some nice older lady would stop us and say " oh what cute little girls, what is Santa going to bring you?". Others would accuse me of depriving my children of fun and fantasy. Then the light went on, I decided to just tell them that he was a make believe person that people had fun playing with, kind of like Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse. That worked just fine. They had a great time with the pretence all the while knowing it was only make believe. In some ways I think they enjoyed it more. They felt they had something over the other kids that didn't know, and they were keeping a secret. I do think if a family wants to participate in this holiday it is ok as long as they do this with a good perspective, and use it as an opportunity to glorify Christ. But be aware, it is a temple built to a false god, and building up the corporation and polluting the Earth.
Peterz, you have a gift for teaching, it is a blessing that God has led you to this particular form of vocational worship (even though you may not be getting paid, you will be rewarded). I found hachett's website about seven months ago, and just last week stumbled onto this blog. I'm so thankfull that this community exists. Once I realised the truth about this country, I kind of went into a form of hybernatic shock internally, while on the outside realligning my priorities. I swallowed my pride and started going back to church, learned the importance of regularly attending, even though right wing psychos predominate the practice, God allows his spirit to flow where he pleases. An important thing to remember is that these sheep, these mindless follow-alongs are not ours to judge. They belong to God. While they are horrifyingly misguided, there are a great many of them who are well intentioned, and simply too weak-minded to question the pulpit. We are all currupt, and full of sin, and the secret allures of the religious right are blatant and well outlined by Mr. Hanchett and yourself. There is curruption in that camp, but there is also forgiveness. Only on That Day will we know how much of each there is. Praise God for you Peterz, and give us more on Babylon, please.

May God keep you and all those in N. Carolina, safe from Ophelia.
Peterz, I've been reading your previous posts, catching up as it were, and you've addressed many questions that are a natural follow up to knowing what we know. Thank you for being diligent, and for posting still despite the criticism you're up against. You are being refined through your efforts, which I'm sure you're well aware of, and most of the criticism you've received seems like the whispered suggestiveness of a devil that's scared of the power we have. We see through his lies. We've recognized the most betraying trait of evil, and that is blatantly lying and portraying oneself and one's environment as being exactly the opposite of what it actually is. This is a compulsion that subjects of the Devil cannot avoid, which explains why Fox news heralds itself as being fair and balanced. It also explains Bush's choice of words in speeches. He claims to be ridding the world of "evil" when he is actually spreading it in the form of capitolism, idolotry, curruption, and most important: ther death of innocents.
Bush also says the word "Liberty" quite a bit which is right up there with "freedom", the term "safe for democracy", and so forth. The list of "Bushisms" is decent, and while he is bantering and cheerleading, he is relieving us of our liberty, robbing us of our freedom, "willfully endagering the stability of civilization" (a crime he's accused his victims of). doing everything he can to destroy democracy and the value system this country was founded on. I'm preaching to the choir, I realize, but I don't think either you or Stephen has hit on the exactness of the lies they speak. It's startling how verbose they can be in describing their enemies in such a way that they themselves are. Rumsfeld does it, Cheney too. Its almost as if they are confessing their evil deeds even as they do them. And isn't it in scripture that all men shall confess before the lord in the last times. It seems logical to assume that will happen at an appointed time, in a court room setting, with Christ as the judge who sits up in the high chair. But what if it's happening now. What if it's a compulsion? Because they get very descriptive about their enemies, on international T.V.
Recently I read about doubts Rumsfeld had regarding sending active duty troops to New Orleans to help with the relief effort. His reasoning was that he wasn't comfortable sending 19 year old kids trained to kill into an American city to establish peace.
How then could these same kids be trusted to go door to door in Iraq establishing the identity of believed insurgents. Bashing through doors and gates terrifying women, children, the elderly (making oh so many enemies). These kids are doing exactly that every day until their higher ups can think of a better idea.
This is America fornicating itself.
Oh, and I read your post about the 6000 year history, and how a 1000 years is like a day. Very good theory, I was reading 2Peter recently and came across an interesting passage. 1:19 We were with Jesus on the holy mountain. This makes us sure about the message the prophets gave. It is good for you to follow closely what they said as you would follow a light shining in a dark place, until the day begins and the morning star shines in your hearts. Why would Peter describe a darkened unenlightened surrounding if the rising of Christ spread healing light throughout the world? Your idea that Christ was in the tomb literally for two days and spiritully for two millenia is fascinating. Because our calling as christians thoughout history has been to pick up our cross, follow Christ, and put to death our fleshy selves. The body of Christ today consists of people who are daily putting to death their ego. While the church is focused on hording and rennovating, rallying and judging, basically all the things reserved for Christ when he returns. They see themselves as the triumphant king who is reigning over all with an iron fist. We are called to humility repeatedly.To love our neighbors, to judge not even ourselves,
to repentance, patience, the scripture is full of advice for the virgin waiting with an oil lamp. Basically don't screw around, don't fall asleep, fill your tank when it needs it, and be ready for him. What I'm suggesting is that we are called to be the pre-triumphant Christ. for while we are the body of Christ, and while we may experience something very much like pentecost in the very near future (symbolic of the ressurection), The triumphant King is a roll reserved for that man alone and not his "body".
but I'm getting beyond myself here.

Hello all, Sorry I have been absent for so long, but I have been out of the country for the last 3 weeks. God has shown me a great deal. I hope to get my butt back to work and continue on the series I had begun, I believe this trip has revealed much about the nature of the Whore we have to deal with. Thank you for all your kind words. We are all a blessing to each other. I thank God we have all found each other. I hope I will hear from Stephen soon. I have the greatest respect for his wisdom and insight. God has put together quite a group on here and so many have added so much truth and revelation.
Peace, You have had some interesting posts, and opened up an interesting discussion. I would like to suggest that our founding fathers didn't lay out Washington DC in a Pentagram on purpose, but were perhaps blind to the spirits that were using them. Just my thoughts.
KevinM, Good post, As I continue to post I will reveal more about what I believe will be the roll of the Church in these end times.
Welcome Back! Hope all is well in N.C. with Ophelia. You have been missed.
May God Continue to Bless Us,
This whole site is AMAZING!!! Thank you for bringing facts to light!!!
I can hardly stand it. People here at the Methodist Church (including the Pastor) are slamming the media for being "all over Bush" for mentioning God in his speech last night. The pastor said, 'he's a good, religious and faithful man and you can't take that out of him.' Geez, talk about a strong veil of delusion; will it ever stop?
PeterZ, other than you and Stephen, I still feel like an island. No-one can see this demon for what he is. Will they ever? I know you think many will make it, as I hope you are right, but I think like Jesus said, "The Way is narrow." I know God is in control and He will win, but the followers around the area where I am is completely, entirely unconditional. How maddening; I want to scream....
Susanne. If you're going to scream this is the place, we know what you're going through. The shock of a sudden perspective shift, people you've loved or looked up to now seeming demonic. Jesus Himself seems like an entirely different savior now that I know who His antithesis is. We are in the battlefield, and the best way that you can keep yourself together is to be safeguarded with the armor of God. Pray for wisdom, for discernment. Pray that the Spirit would reveal itself through what you testify, and fearlessly defend your God, your faith, and your calling. God is on our side, so it doesn't matter what any man or woman may think of us. It doesn't matter if we come across as a little coocoo. John the baptist was a recluse who lived off of locusts and honey. Noah was a drunk who took 100 years to build a huge boat in the middle of a valley. King David in his sheer joy and extacy stripped naked and danced for hours in worship of God.
We're liberal christians with common sense and a heads up on the celistial goings on of the times. We're the standard of sanity compared with some of the people God has chosen to use. (realise that God has lead each and every one of us to this community).
In groups, Fundamentalists are plugged in to their surroundings. They would never pretend to listen to what we have to say if others might be listening. Pray that the spirit lead you to those whose eyes are ready to be open. Pray continually :) and when the spirit leads you, pull that person into a private place where you can lay out the evidence we have available. Be ready to answer questions, but realise that most of the questions you get will be redundant, and easily disputed. Satan has a veil of lies cast over the religious right, but his lies are feeble and brittle in comparison to the power of the living God.
Remember, victory is most assuredly God's
-Kevin M
Susanne, at this particular time, the book of 2 Peter should be a great comfort to you, to all of us.
Peterz, what do you make of the seven spirits of God that went out to the eneds of the earth? You had an interaction with a poster named Muslim and Proud that really got me thinking.
The main monotheistic religions of the world cancel each other out in creed and law, but reinforce each other in spirit and intent.
In order to be a muslim you must acknowledge that there is one God, named Allah, and no God but Him, and he has never been divided, and he has never begotten a son, and Muhammed is his prophet.
As a jew, it was once required, and now is preferred that you be born into your faith. You are one of God's chosen people, a descendant of a tribe that God Himself led through the desert and into a land that was promised to you for all time, so long as you adhere to the law God gave Moses on the mountain. Blood is the only thing that can purify you in the eyes of God, and it must be shed often (even though it's not anymore, why is that?)
As a Christian, you must acknowledge that you cannot come before God of your own power, you cannot abide by any law made acceptable by God, Thusly you must be willing to believe that God is a being that cares about us, loves us and wants to be with us enough to shed the blood of his own son and clear the chasm between man and Himself.
All three faiths follow the God of Abraham, all call their people to care for the poor, and to be merciful and just etc. But one cannot be a muslim and a christian and jew, or any combination. That seems too deliberate to be coincidence, yet I find it hard to see God deliberately entrapping pious people. What gives?
- Peter Zarcone said...
to the anonymous above.
The seven spirits of God are revealed in Isaiah 11.2 "And the (1) spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him (ruling), the (2) spirit of wisdom and (3) understanding, the (4) spirit of counsel and (5) might, the (6) spirit of knowledge and of the (7) fear of the LORD;" These where represented by the seven flames of the lamp stand in the Holy Place of the Tabernacle.
You also asked about the "pious" of other religions. Please do not confuse piousness with godliness. Most likely it just leads to pride. They can be like the religious right of Christianity, with a vested interest in promoting their lies. I have taught on this subject in other of my posts. you may wish to read them. "The Heavens are Telling"
The key here again is a seeking heart. If you do not seek you do not find. If you seek, God will find you, and the same thing happens as the native in the jungle. God looks upon the heart; His ways are not our ways. God is just. Remember I have said that there are many that know the doctrines but do not know God, (like the Pharisees) and many that do not know the doctrine but do know God. 2Cor:3:6: .. for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. True and sound doctrine is only given to help us grow. it is not the spirit of life in it's self.
- Peace said...
Peter, once again, "so glad to have you back."
Regarding your sharing your thoughts on the founding fathers knowledge of the layout of DC. I'm not sure one way or the other, I do not know why they would us the pentagram in their foundation though? Illustrates one of two things; either a lack of full understanding of the bible, or it was deliberate, knowing that it would lead to wealth and power. Like those who know the words of the bible but do not know God. I refer again to the "apple" on this, in this, "air" is equal to "God given life"... when an apple is exposed to air as it is when cut in half, you will notice it begins to blacken from the inside out. This is much like the person who knows the words of the bible but uses them to do harm/for power and wealth.
The name satan of course is not in the Old Testament. It only speaks of corruptible Kings and Leaders. The Antichrist of course has power over the airways (Media) his words speak louder than the common folks. Remember History? Jeremiah the true prophet warned the people babylon would over take them.He was locked up in a prison, while all the other false prophets, priests (preachers) were preaching a popular message that they would be victorious. They preached peace peace when there was no peace. What happened? babylon over took them. We have many false prophets in the pool pit today.If Bush is born again, I am Cinderella. The Commandment thou shalt not kill. means "thou shalt not kill". Or do you think Bush will make an amendment to it and say except, for when "I" say we are at war. In ancient times the believers were persecuted and killed. Now they join in persecuting others that do not believe the way they do. Hitler killed the Jews because they did not believe as he did. He thought he was cleansing the world of evil. What about Bush? I believe that we will see Bush in a flame of fire! We can say there is the Burning bush!! I can say that all will be ok because God is a winner. If God lost one soul, he would not be a winner. But the God I serve is a Winner!

Presentiment is, ultimately, nothing mystical. It is rather a take of suggestion or a resistance to it, and the feeling we get from our brain making all the chess moves in advance to give us a potential outcome, without letting us know the process. Then the things seem to just happen, but it's all about a choice we've made. Every choice, no matter how small, builds our way and creates our reality.

No. 10 Texas A&M needed 19 points and 15 rebounds from Kelsey Boone for a 72-62 win over McNeese State on Friday night.
The Aggies (9-2) finished the game with a 53-31 rebounding advantage. Senior Kelsey Assarian (Naples, Fla.) pulled down a season-high seven rebounds to go with two points.
Last season, Assarian had 12 points in a 87-47 opening round win between these same two teams in the 2011 NCAA tournament.
Armenian Basketball Update had a chance to catch up with Kelsey as the Aggies round off the non-conference schedule as defending NCAA champions:
Now looking back on last season's accomplishments and national title what are your thoughts?
Kelsey: It was one of the best experiences and biggest accomplishments so far in my life. It really proves how hard work pays off because we may not have been the best team in the nation but we definitely worked the hardest and it allowed us to accomplish unthinkable measures and bring our team and university in the national view.
What are you looking forward to this senior season?
Kelsey: I'm looking forward to defending our national title and providing leadership as a senior as we prepare to have a target on our back the entire season.
Texas A&M opens conference play at Kansas State on January 4, 2012.

brought back my old website, +SIN+ from the dead. *shrug* I just thought I should write that down.
Hmm… there's nothing interesting today… yet. I just did a tarot card reading on several people around my office. I wanted to take a vacation but I decided not to. What else, what else? I guess that's it. Oh!!! L'Arc hit Oricon no. 1 with HY HEARTS DRAWS A DREAM! Well, anyone could have predicted it.
UPDATE:remember when I wrote "there's nothing interesting today… yet". Here's something interesting: VERSAILLES! Here's their myspace page and here's their The Revenant Choir PV (It's weird seeing japanese band having myspace pages.) It's Kamijo's new band. I don't know what to say about this one. I didn't know this before. I haven't been IN to much visual kei lately. "Isn't it enough?" tte kanji desu yo ne? I like Lareine but that is as far as it goes, like. I enjoy listening to Billet, Fuyu Tokyo, Fiancailles, Metamorphose, seeing the glamour, the beauty, the enchantment. I like the fact that Kamijo is consistent on his image. But I dunno I just feel like… "heh? He's back in his twisted delusional way! XD" Praise the lord for that though. I guess visual kei DOES need this kind of rescue. I wish MALICE MIZER would just REGROUP c'mon! But I guess Mana wouldn't wanna go back to wearing those frilly lolita dresses. Oh well good luck to Versailles! XD

Most traders wake up in an emotion, never having seen the tell-tale signs of how an emotion takes over perception and runs a trader's thinking. Yet, the emotion was hiding in plain site - it is the trader's blindness that led them into a decision-making ambush. Working with emotions is not optional in the life of a trader. A trader's lack of understanding of emotions and how they work is a major obstacle in trading performance, and it will stay that way until the trader learns to deal with emotions effectively. Most traders do not notice an emotion (fear, greed, or euphoria) until it has already corrupted their mindset and hijacked their capacity to think clearly. By the time the trader notices the "feeling" of an emotion, it is too late. When you (the trader) "feel" the emotion, it is already coursing as chemistry in your body and brain and your thinking is compromised in whatever direction the emotion is taking you.
When this happens, there is no way to put the brakes on the emotion and return to clear thinking. The best solution at this moment is let the emotional chemistry "burn" itself out so you can come back to your senses. (You can accomplish this by getting away from trading - i.e. take a walk, go exercise, go for a run – anything that accelerates the burn of the emotional chemistry in the body). But, it does not have to be this way. Let's take a look at emotions in trading and discover how it is possible to build a path to emotional mastery.
What is an Emotion?
First, emotions are not feelings, although feeling is an element of an emotion. Emotions are not touchy-feely – they are biological. Emotions take over psychology and thinking. They are built to provoke the body and mind into specific forms of action based on the motivation of the emotion. This is why managing them is so important in trading.
Fear, for instance, is built to avoid threat – both biological and psychological. The emotional brain, once provoked to fear, will manhandle the thinking mind to create explanations that support what the emotional brain believes. This is because all thinking is emotional-state-dependent. The key to successful state of mind management, therefore, is emotional state management.
Second, an emotion (being biological in its nature) is defined as any disruption to a standard sensorial pattern that the brain has already established. That standard sensorial pattern is often referred to as your "comfort zone". So, as you are trading, if any deviation occurs from a pre-existing homeostasis, an emotion pops up to deal with the disruption.
Now what does that look like in trading? The movement from evaluating set-ups to committing to an entry point is just such a disruption to standard sensorial pattern. Suddenly your cozy comfort zone is disrupted and you are committing capital to risk. For many traders, this represents threat. And, if you do not develop your EQ (emotional intelligence), it will not matter how much you KNOW about trading and risk management while in the safety of your comfort zone, your trader's hand still freezes and you cannot pull the trigger because the emotional brain dictates how the thinking mind will think. Here, the emotional brain perceives the uncertainty of putting capital to risk as a threat and jumps to fear and hesitation.
Becoming emotionally intelligent is essential to the development of successful traders. Learning how an emotion operates will give the trader an edge in managing his emotions and mastering the mind that he brings to trading.
Elements of an Emotion
Emotions are composed of a number of interlocking elements. The important thing to understand about emotions is that they are biological and they take over your psychology. Learning how emotions operate is the first step to mastering them. Here are the elements of an emotion:
Arousal. First, there is a change in the status of a trade which triggers an emotion based on the trader's perception of threat (fear) or opportunity (euphoria or greed). What happens next is that the body begins to ramp up for action. Breathing changes. It stops or begins to become shallow and rapid. Muscles tense, getting ready to spring into action. The heart begins to race or miss a beat. You are now experiencing the arousal of an emotion. It is building, readying the body for action. This is the place you want to catch the emotion – before it builds up a head of steam and becomes an out-of-control locomotive. As the emotion's engine revs up, it reaches a critical mass. It flips an internal switch and it springs into action. It is no longer building up – the switch is flipped and the emotion activates the feeling component.
Feeling. Feeling is the subjective experience of the emotion and is where most traders notice the emotion. However, the feeling element of the emotion is also the chemistry of the emotion coursing through your body. This chemistry is what you "feel", and this is when the emotion contaminates thinking. In the life of emotional activation, the emotion can easily take 45 minutes to an hour for the chemistry to burn out if it is no longer being stimulated – not good for the trading mind. So you will no longer be in your "right" mind for trading if you are experiencing fear or euphoria. Both fear and euphoria set the trader up for skewed thinking. The feeling element of the emotion produces a belief in the certainty of whatever direction the emotion is provoking you to go.
Motivation. Motivation is where the emotion is taking you. Remember, emotions are biological and are about producing action in a particular direction. Those directions are called emotional motivation and are either avoid (run, hide, freeze, submit), attack, or approach. Feeling and motivation conspire to sweep the trader's mind away. If you have ever been reviewing your trading day and wondered what happened to your right mind in the heat of trading – this is it. Motivation provided the direction of the e-motion and the feeling provided the certainty of the belief that hijacked your thinking mind.
Meaning. Meaning is the self-belief concerning the trader's adequacy, worth, mattering, or power to manage uncertainty that becomes attached to the emotion. You can declare that you believe something, but that is only cheerleading. The proof of what you really believe about your capacity to manage uncertainty will be found in your trading account. Most traders avoid looking into their self-limiting beliefs (no matter how boldly their trading account points to them) because it creates discomfort in their comfort zone or current organization of self. This lack of courage is what keeps the trader locked in his self-limiting beliefs, that negatively impact his trading account.
Pre-disposition. Genetic pre-disposition is simply beyond the scope of this article. We are all wired with certain potentialities – it is what we do with our potential that matters, though.
Freedom of Emotion, Not Freedom From Emotion
Emotion is unavoidable in trading. The EQ skill is learning how to use emotions to produce effective states of mind for peak-performance trading. As a trader develops his EQ, he learns to regulate reactive emotionally-based pattern. The first step is to volitionally alter the arousal element of the problem emotion through breathing and tension release. By doing this, he is able to better manage the intensity of the emotion so that it does not activate the feeling state of a reactive emotion while trading. (If that occurs, the trader's mind is compromised.)
As he gains the emotional competence to regulate the emotion, he is able to get to the door of the trading mind. This is where he can use new-found courage to examine the beliefs that limits his capacity to manage the uncertainty of probability. Here is where meaning can be transformed - first, by discovering his inherent worth as a human being. This is really important. It is at this point that he can focus on his trading as a performance rather than a characterization of his being. At this point in the journey of a trader, he is re-organizing the meaning of self that is embedded into the emotional structure.
Here, the trader can begin to use emotion as information or data because he is no longer afraid of what he might find out about himself. He begins to see what is manifesting in his trading with far less avoidance and denial and he uses this information to design the mind that trades. No longer does he try to avoid the discomfort of reactive emotions and the self-limiting beliefs that lurk behind them. Instead, he is able to use the emotion as information that tells him where he needs to look for self-limiting patterns. He knows that emotions will lead him to what he needs to know about himself so he can grow as a trader. Fear has been transformed into reverence, vigilance, and concern. These emotional states that give rise to a peak performance state of mind are rooted in discipline, courage, patience, and impartiality.

So, a few nights ago, I waited half the night for Zaara's beautiful dress out of the lucky chair with a bunch of friends. Waiting for chairs with a group of fun people can be incredibly awesome :D After several hours, I finally snagged a wildcard and took off home to try it on - and I've been wearing it ever since. ^^

I realize that I may have offended some of you dear ladies yesterday with my rant about the church thermostat. If so, I apologize. I can only say that my internal temperature registers about 120 degrees.
I've thought of removing some articles of clothing while at church, but I'm wondering what that would be. The obvious is my underwire bra. That miracle of engineering and micro-fiber keeps the girls from flopping around, but it does trap the heat. Specifically, sweat gathers right along the underwire. Not a pleasant sensation.
Have you ever removed a bra while in polite company? Let me tell you, it takes some maneuvering. First, you slip one strap over your shoulder, followed by the other. Surreptitiously, you unhook the back of it. then you slide the whole thing down and pull it out from underneath your blouse or top and stash it in your purse or your husband's suit pocket if you don't have a purse. (If you're wearing a dress, forget about it. You're screwed.)
Gem for the day: forget the bra and let the girls flop. You and they will be happier.

Photography is also part of journalism. I have never really liked using a camera to an extent that it takes me some time to put together assignments that have to do with making documentaries or photo essays and honestly enough I haven't started doing any. But today I met Chansa Tembo. He has achieved a lot and he made this whole documentary making seem interesting that I am now prepared to change my attitude towards it. He gave us a task where we had to shoot a video about democracy and it was great to actually be part of something and to share ideas with other students who don't study journalism. We wrote down what we think democracy is and took other group ideas and shot a video clip.
This was another way of bringing unity, and I learnt that it is important to respects other people's views and that if people work together something good will always come out of it. Tembo won the Democracy challenge video of the year and he encouraged us to take part in such activities. I also met Harlene Sokaloo from UKZN, Pietermaritzburg. She is doing 3rd year in politics. She and other students are a part of their university newspaper. It was quite interesting to find out that not all of them do media studies but they came together and decided to start a newspaper. That made me realise how lazy I have been, and how I keep depending on other people to start doing things for me and then I follow them and how I have ignored my potential.
I believe today I learnt something new that if the person next to me can do it I can do it so can I. Hopefully when I go back I will be able to share some of the things I learnt here with other DUT Journalism students and we can start our own university newspaper because being a journalists doesn't mean one have to wait until they have a diploma but it starts now, writing about anything and getting people to read your stories and that will better our writing skills.

Well, this isn't actually about President Hinckley, but I'm still going through old conference talks as a memorial, so he gets the credit/blame either way.
I listened to this one today:
There was something about it that bugged me, so rather than continuing with another conference talk I listened to a sermon from one of the Protestant pastors I follow.
The difference jumped out at me immediately.
His latest sermon series is on the book of Collossians, and in summary the Collossians are overwhelmed by Roman culture and the messages of "Caesar is Lord". Paul preaches the contrary message that "Jesus is Lord". The pastor's premise is that our society is just not that much different culturally from the Collossians. Nike is Lord. Cadillac is Lord. Microsoft is Lord. Etc.. We're bombarded with messages from people demanding to be our Lord, yet there is only one Lord who will save, redeem, and satisfy, and that is Jesus.
Considering President Faust's talk, who is Lord?
I think he sums up his opinion in this kind of weird quote of "Invictus":
"I am the master of my fate:I am the captain of my soul"
Why, we are, of course. The important thing is self-mastery. We are the masters of our fate. We are the captains of our souls. We are in control. We are in charge.
I guess I no longer suffer under the illusion that I am the master of my fate or the captain of my soul. I tried that for a long time, and it didn't work. I think Jesus is a better Lord and master than I am.
As a complete aside I thought this was a particularly unusual thing to quote, for a special witness of Jesus Christ:
"I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul."
Invictus strikes me as vaguely Deist and not very Christian, but I'm no English major.

Great point. Thanks for that insight. After trying to reconcile the Christ of the New Testament with the Christ of the Book of Mormon, I've realized they just simply aren't the same.
This scripture in John 3 was kind of inspiring to me last night.
"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."
It's hard to reconcile the idea that "Whoever believes in Christ is not condemned" with "I am in charge here and completely in control of my salvation."

To be fair you could make the case that the Christ of the BOM shouldn't be the same. Nephi and Lehi would have lived 600 years before Christ, and the Christ of 3d Nephi would have been the risen Christ rather than the mortal one occupied with teaching the disciples right in front of him.
For these reasons you just wouldn't expect the nuanced portrayal of Christ from the New Testament to surface in the BOM. I think the primacy of the BOM in the LDS church tells us that the most important thing to church leaders is not teaching about Christ, but supporting the authority of the church and church leaders.
Even as kind of a heretic I find a lot to like about the BOM, even though I don't think it's actual history. The BOM has value in the shadow of the Bible, though, and not the other way around as we do in the church.
If only the modern-day church was based on the principles from the BOM . . .

As an interesting postscript, I was listening to a Baptist preacher this morning, and Timothy McVeigh (the Oklahoma City bomber) left "Invictus" as his last words. He described it as being an "atheist" poem.

Today is Tag Day! Everyone needs tags for Christmas gifts, right? So, here are a few tag ideas that are simple, easy and quick to make. I apologize for the poor quality of this picture. I think I scanned it last year just before a stamp club meeting. The Santa is on an Altoid tin container, and all the smaller tags fit inside. Some are glittered, som open like a small gift card, while others are just a plain tag. Add a ribbon and you're done!

This mug is from Dollar Tree. Perfect for use with my favorite Snowflakes stamp set. I made the coordinating tag, pen and mini composition book as a gift. Great for teachers!


text: U.S. to Release New $10 Bills on March 2 WASHINGTON - The trees won't be the only thing sprouting new colors come springtime. Americans' wallets will have more red, yellow and orange as the first of 800 million redesigned $10 bills start showing up in cash registers and ATM machines on March 2. Government officials said Thursday that they had selected the March date to start distributing the more colorful $10 bills, which will have shades of the new colors added to the traditional green. The makeover of the $10 follows colorization of the $20 bill in 2003 and the $50 bill last year. The new $10 will still feature Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first Treasury secretary, on one side, and the Treasury building on the other side. But those two images will be joined by the Statue of Liberty's torch and the phrase "We the People" in red along with small yellow 10s and a subtle orange background. All the changes are designed to thwart counterfeiters. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051202/ap_on_re_us/new_ten

"Self-Fulfillment" Trip or Service Trip?
Carrie's lecture on global health reminded me of an article I just read that criticized service trips that were really "self-fulfillment" trips. It was an interesting read on how the "white saviour" complex is so prevalent in service projects. But through Carrie's personal narratives, it was surprising to learn ways in which even someone with the best intentions may not be doing what is best for the local community. Her recount of the research she did in Durban, South Africa was what really made me realize how there is "always something more to learn from a culture," as Carrie said. Nothing came of all that research she did about the correlation between school connection and violence because the interventions she proposed were not applicable solutions in regards to the local community.
The times in which the first question she was asked was "Do you have a gun?" was also an interesting point, in my opinion. It just really shows how easy generalizations are made based off first impressions, media, and stereotypes surrounding a culture or population. This is also a crucial reason to remember that how you present yourself in a different community or area is so important because you are representing so much more than just yourself, but also all the identities you are a part of.
Cultural sensitivity and the ethics of global health work is incredibly important to maintain. In order to do so, research about the culture and community that the work is taking place is undoubtedly a key component. And no matter how much you try and learn about a specific community, never assume you know everything. It's usually hard to swallow your pride and admit your naivety, but the respect that should be held for another culture should be more important than your ego.
And with that, I challenge you with the questions: What do you think is a plausible way to ensure that instead of "self-fulfillment" trips, actual service trips are taken? Would there be institutional regulation and screening for individuals going on the trip? Or, is there no way of preventing "self-fulfillment" trips?

The following comes from Patron Saints Index: In 1061 Lady Richeldis de Faverches, lady of the manor near the village of Walsingham, Norfolk, England, was taken in spirit to Nazareth. There Our Lady asked her to build a replica, in Norfolk, of the Holy House where she had been born, grew up, and received the Annunciation of Christ's impending birth. She immediately did, constructing a house 23'6" by 12'10" according to the plan given her. Its fame slowly spread, and in 1150 a group of Augustinian Canons built a priory beside it. Its fame continued to grow, and for centuries it was a point of pilgrimage for all classes, the recipient of many expensive gifts.
In 1534 Walsingham became one of the first houses to sign the Oath of Supremacy, recognizing Henry VIII as head of the Church in England. Dissenters were executed, and in 1538 the House was stripped of its valuables, its statue of the Virgin taken to London to be burned, its buildings used as farm sheds for the next three centuries.[Photo]In 1896 Charlotte Boyd purchased the Slipper Chapel and donated it to Downside Abbey. In 1897 Pope Leo XIII re-founded the ancient shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, and pilgrimages are permitted to resume. The statue of Our Lady is enshrined in 1922 beginning an era of cooperation at the shrine between Catholics and Anglicans.
In 1981 construction began on the Chapel of Reconciliation, a cooperative effort between the two confessions, and located near the shrine. The feast of Our Lady of Walsingham was reinstated in 2000. For more information on this historic shrine click here.
"Per signum S. Crucis de inimicis nostris libera nos Deus noster Jesus, Crux, et Maria sint nihi salus, custodia ex via".
25 September 2008
Our Lady of Walsingham
I had to borrow this post from Padre Steve over at Da Mihi Animas. Walsingham is the holiest and oldest shrine in England. It has been visited by royalty and commoner alike.
