"My Fortress, My Rock and My Refuge"
The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge. He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the Lord our God will destroy them. Psalm 94:21-23
We live in a very WICKED and DEPRAVED world, with many WICKED and DEPRAVED deeds being carried out, and most of those deeds are aimed at the RIGHTEOUS of God, those who strive DAILY to LIVE by the WORD of the LIVING GOD.
The TRUE BELIEVER, these days becomes the target of MANY UNGODLY acts, which is used to try to DESTROY ANY and ALL forms of GODLY BEHAVIOR. It is the MAIN GOAL of Satan to work at DESTROYING any form of GODLINESS in the life of mankind, even to condemning to death the innocent ones. He does this by entering our FAMILIES, NATIONS, and CHURCHES. He infiltrates them by finding the ones who are WEAK and VULNERABLE, those he can MANIPULATE and CONTROL.
In the FAMILIES, Satan works at destroying the structure of the family. The MAN, the dad, the husband is to be the HEAD of the household, not a taskmaster, but the one to be responsible for the WELL-BEING of the family. He is to be the SPIRITUAL LEADER, the one who brings God into their family and LEADS their family to a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with God. But, it's sad to say, in a lot of cases there is NO MAN within the family, and the RESPONSIBILITY is left up to the Mom. In a lot of these situations, the fault is the working of Satan to DESTROY the family structure. Even in families with a MAN as head of the household, there is still the working of Satan to destroy the FAMILY, especially if they ARE trying to live as God wants them to. Satan will try to influence a member of the family to REBEL against ANY and ALL Godly influences. Thus, a REBELLIOUS nature evolves and the FAMILY structure is at RISK of DYING.
In the NATIONS, SATAN works on the LEADERSHIP. He infiltrates, by entering the HEARTS and MINDS of the LEADERS, and works diligently to put into effect the UNGODLY laws that will DESTROY, and bring DEATH to a nation that was once built on CHRISTIAN values. Satan will work in the HEARTS of mankind to REBEL against ANY form of GODLINESS or LAWFULNESS. The nations become a cauldron of REBELLION, LAWLESSNESS, HATRED, DEPRAVITY, FILTH, and MORAL DECAY. The NATIONS are at RISK of DYING.
In the Church, Satan works in ANYONE, who is WEAK in their relationship with God, and sometimes he will plant his own people within the church body. Their main objective is to influence others within the body, to work against the RIGHTEOUS, by BANDING together, and planting seeds of DISSENTION, and DISCORD among the people. Then they use ungodly means of carrying out their DESTRUCTION, by planting seeds of gossiping, slandering, back-biting, grumbling, complaining, REBELLING against the SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP of the church. And if there is NO SPIRITUAL fiber in the body that is FAITHFUL enough to FIGHT BACK for the cause of Christ, then the Church is at risk of DYING.
God says He will REPAY the WICKED for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; He will DESTROY them. PAYBACK IS ON THE WAY! However for the RIGHTEOUS, who are persecuted, God is their FORTRESS, ROCK and their REFUGE.
If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God then you are part of the WICKED and are being used by SATAN. Your destiny includes being REPAID for your SINFUL life-style. You will end up spending ALL of ETERNITY In Hell, the place of UNENDING torment, torture, heartache, pain, agony and despair, with NO WAY of ESCAPE, unless you come to God, NOW, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESSING your sins to Him, and asking His for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and become one of the RIGHTEOUS, with God as their FORTRESS, ROCK and REFUGE, and receive the HOPE of an ETERNITY in HEAVEN. Do it NOW, while you still can. He's waiting and coming SOON!!!

Ha! After much thinking on what to do with all the embossed papers I have done using various embossing folders, I have finally decided NOT to use the embossed papers but instead I chose it as my guide a.k.a swatches.
I was torn between just use an album ring like what I did with "My Edge Punchers Guide" or secure each paper on an album. This time I did not laminate each but utilized my acid-free photo album that fits perfectly in any of my bags. I accentuated it with the ring given to me by Maryann. She gave me a necklace with blue beads secured on a ring which she made last year but since she made it, I guess it's just perfect to be part of my craft world.
As I've mentioned in my previous blog about "Heaven With Textures", I did categorize each embossed paper. I applied it in my embossing folder album so I know which category to look at when doing a project. Few pages in the album are still empty but once my latest batches of embossing folders will arrive then I know where to put each. Oh yes, I did leave few pages in every category just in case I buy more hehehehehehehehehehehehe.
Isn't it great to slowly organize my things?
Here it is:

A philological and historical commentary on the "Life of Pelopidas" by PlutarchREA AuditadoThe Life of Pelopidas by Plutarch, parallel to the Life of Marcellus, is Plutarch's only extant Theban Life after the loss of the Life of Epaminondas. The only other Life of Pelopidas is given by Nepos, but it appears rather as a brief supplement to his Life of Epaminondas than as a Life standing on its own merti. Similarities between the accounts of Nepos and Plutarch do not, however, suggest that Plutarch used Nepos for the story of Pelopidas, but rather that they are both dependent on the same tradition, but not necessarily on the same authority.Tema: general:

Ok you all are way too smart. You pick up on the bags and celebs carrying them as fast as I post. So for a little more of a challenge, although not much, can you name the celeb with this hand and the wallet? The hand is a total shot in the dark in my opinion- because I, myself, could not see this hand and name the celebrity whose body it belongs to. This lady was spotted walking outside of Nobu Berkeley, London. But the wallet I am sure many of you will get. So go to it! And if you need a hint of the gal, hop after the jump and check her out :grin:

The Baleno, like many modern cars has quite light build quality like most "efficient" cars around. This one is from the "kitna deti hai" stable, remember?
But all in all it has not taken the hit really that badly. The Jetta maybe having a broad piece of metal behind that plastic bumper same like the front apron and the Baleno's bonnet must be in the same level so as to have come in indirect contact upon hitting it during the collision so the result is expected. Apart from that, the bumper is deformed but not cracked or torn apart, also the side fenders seem to be virtually untoucbed from this angle. Damage has not travelled upto the windscreen. Maybe the right headlight mounts behind it might be damaged enough to need the whole light to be changed. Airbag costs too. But not really bad, I think.
It also seems like the jetta got hit in another place and angle different from the way it currently stands and has been moved since and we people will write up paragraphs on end before we realise it. Just saying.

Re: Pics: Accidents in India
Well, the 'J' in Jetta and 'I' in TDI seems to have fallen off with the impact.
On a serious note, probably the Jetta had slowed down and was clearing a speed breaker with its rear wheel on it when the Baleno collided with it, add to that the nose dive the Baleno would have had on hard braking.

Re: Pics: Accidents in India
No wonder that the Baleno has shattered and the Jetta stands strong with a dislocated/damaged bumper. The whole episode would have been unbelievable for the poor Baleno guy, even the airbags got deployed.
I was travelling in a Skoda Rapid with a friend at 100-110 on highways and a Santro hit us from behind at high speeds, we got a big jolt forward, we stopped to see the damages and only the boot got a small dent and the bumper had slight paint cracking on the boot lip area, it was a relief seeing the car. VAG cars are solid, no two ways about it.

Re: Pics: Accidents in India
Hi All,
Need some advice. Last Thursday while returning from office my car was swiped by a cement mixer truck. The construction company people promised full compensation for whatever amount I pay over insurance. Now those cheats aren't picking up calls.
Here's how it happenned -
I was going from the passport office(mundhwa) area towards Mundhwa chowk. The road narrows since there are barricades placed by traffic police on the left, for people aproaching from KP road. So between the barricades on the left and the divider on the right only one car can fit through.
There is heavy traffic in this chowk as usual. Was driving at crawling speeds and almost driven out of the bottleneck. When this truck tries to squeeze in from the right. Apparently he had not seen my car at all. I stop seeing this and start honking like crazy, nevertheless the truck scrapes two doors. It's pretty bad, the sheet metal on both the doors has been torn open.
After noticing what had happened, the truck promptly stopped a few 100 meters ahead. That sort of soothed my anger. He said he was sorry about this and agreed it was his mistake(I have his confession on video), and that his company will compensate for the damages the next day, since it was late in the night.
I was skeptical about it, and asked him for some identity proof. And then he started acting funny. Calls to his bosses ensued, and none of them gave any assurances towards compensating. That's when I decided to report this to the police.
I took him to the Mundhwa police chowkey and informed the officers there. They weren't keen on filing an FIR and said that if possible we should sort if out. Since the police had impounded his keys and licence, I agreed to talking to his bosses the next day. Three chaps came after repeated calls and agreed to compensate me for anything I pay after doing insurance. My mistake I did not take a post dated check or any other assurance from them.
Now when what's-app'ed them the bill and tried calling them, they are trying to back out. What are my options? I don't think the police are going to entertain filing an FIR now, that my car has been repaired. My car is over 4 years old and depreciation cost is around 35%. Come to about 15K after insurance.
Just after the

You should let them know that you have a video of their driver confessing.
Also, I don't get that why did you opt for using your insurance. I have seen this stated in other cases as well over here and I don't get why the victims don't ask the offenders to use their third party insurance and get the car repaired that way.

Re: Pics: Accidents in India
Well, VW must have been made up of some rare metal. What about the paint quality? It did not even accept the Baleno's red pigments.
I think this is the impact point-
Is there some cross bar behind the Jetta's bumper ?

Re: Pics: Accidents in India
We faced a similar situation with my BIL's MK 6 Jetta. It was last year during rains on the National HW Between Chalakudy and Thrissur in Kerala. A car in front braked suddenly and my BIL was able to brake the car without hitting the car in front but we got rear ended by an Alto. We felt a solid thud and were expecting bad damage. On inspecting we couldn't find any exterior damage except hairline cracks on the bumper paint at the point of impact but i was expecting that there will be damage to the cross member behind. But next day on inspecting we found no damages, absolutely nothing!
The alto was pretty badly damaged and the radiator was leaking and not in a 'drivable' condition. Jetta is pretty well built.

(Ignore video date time stamp - I haven't updated those for a long time!) The action starts at around 5 seconds only. And finished by 15 or so. Its just default loop video clip from dash-camera, uploaded to YouTube as is. I could not cut and upload video.

Re: Pics: Accidents in India
I was stationary while this Innovas hit me at some good speed. Result were:
1. Completely crumpled Innova with bonnet crushed, radiator out, smashed full face.
2. The car in my front had its bumper bend in
3. No scratch on Punto! Some misalignment on rear bumper.
Later when I got the bumper removed, I saw two massive cross sections mounted perpendicular to beam which were slightly bend.
The design of these cross section was in V shape;thus the bending is restricted due to the perpendicular beam.
The look on Innova's driver was priceless!
I will try to post the pictures of the same if I find it. There was no way to tell that my Punto was involved with that Innova.

Re: Pics: Accidents in India
Post the photos & video of your car and truck. Mention the police officer names who refused to take your FIR. They cannot ignore which has been shared on social media. Do take help of your lawyer in all this.
IMHO police refuse to take FIR to show low crime rate in their respective areas. Root cause of this can be the rating system which rates police stations based on how many crimes were "reported" in their area. It can be changed to "how many crimes successfully solved and how helpful police are" then only these police stations will take FIR without any fuss.

H.R. 2658. Fiscal 2004 Defense Appropriations/Procedural Vote to Defeat an Amendment to Create an Independent Commission to Investigate the Role Played by U.S. Intelligence Officials in Developing and Using Erroneous Intelligence About Iraq's Weapons Program to Justify U.S. Military Action.
senate Roll Call 284 Jul 16, 2003
In his State of the Union address to Congress and the nation, President Bush cited military intelligence which confirmed that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction. Not only has that intelligence been seriously discredited, but many suspect that high-ranking intelligence officials in the administration (such as CIA director George Tenet) knew the intelligence was faulty even before it was included in the President's speech. In an effort to discover the truth, Senator Corzine (D-NJ) proposed an amendment to the 2004 defense appropriations bill which would have created an independent, twelve person committee to investigate the administration's intelligence-gathering operation before the war. In the view of Progressives, purposely deceiving Congress and the public about Iraq's weapons program-a major justification for the Iraqi war-is no small matter and they supported Corzine's amendment for that reason. During debate on the measure, Senator Stevens (R-AK) motioned to table (kill) Corzine's amendment and the motion passed on a straight party-line vote of 51-45 which defeated Corzine's measure.

Think you can't see sound? Well, think again.
In a ground-breaking discovery, new research conducted in part at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston indicates that people can visually process sound to help them see.
Ye Wang, a student at the local medical school, says the finding shatters old scientific beliefs that the auditory system is used for hearing, the visual system is used to see, and there is never any mixing or matching.
"This finding is brand new," says Wang.
According to an article in Live Science, which explains the break-through slightly more eloquently then Wang, who does not speak much English, researchers discovered that monkeys could find dim lights flashed on a wall that the monkeys previously had trouble locating if the light made a sound.
This shows, Wang has said, that there's a direct connection between the ear and the visual regions of the brain.

Wang says this discovery is important because it could help patients who've suffered damage to the visual part of the brain be able to compensate through the auditory system.
While this all sounds like a lot of scientific mumbo-jumbo, it certainly has those in-the-know all revved up.
"It's a very exciting finding," says Wang.

Administrative history
The Loyal Orange District Lodge of Nipissing East was a district lodge of the Orange Order, a Protestant fraternal organization, which had jurisdiction over primary (local) lodges in the present-day Parry Sound District. The District Lodge was founded in 1911 following a resolution by the Loyal Orange County Lodge of Nipissing East to establish three district lodges for the North, South, and East Nipissing areas.
The District Lodge had jurisdiction over the Orange Order's District of Nipissing East, which covered the area to the south and east of Lake Nipissing, from Arnstein at its western boundary to Chisholm in the east, and from Callander in the north to Trout Creek in the south. The following primary (local) lodges were under the jurisdiction of the Loyal Orange District Lodge of Nipissing East: Loyal Orange Lodge No. 429 (Callander), No. 758 (Powassan), No. 812 (Nipissing), No. 1172 (Trout Creek), No. 1323 (Chisholm), No. 1938 (Restoule), No. 2888 (Golden Valley), and No. 3015 (Arnstein). The membership of the District Lodge was made up of Orangemen from its primary lodges, who took turns hosting the Lodge's annual meetings. It is unknown when the District Lodge was disbanded.

"Can't make the woman out at all, myself. Know what she said to me this morning? Asked me if I'd slept well, and when I told here that it beat me how anyone could sleep at all, with a dashed lot of cockerels crowing their heads off, she said that rural sounds exhilarate the spirit, and do something or other to languid nature!"
"Cowper," said Kitty, in a depressed tone. "'Restore the tone of languid nature.'"
"Well, it's a bag of moonshine!" said Freddy. "What's more, I always thought so! … It's my belief, Kit, the woman's touched in her upper works."
"No, she is merely addicted to poetry," explained Kitty.
"Well, that just shows you!" said Mr Standen, reasonably.
Oh Freddy! For you I'd give up my favourite most comfortable pair of pyjamas with the holes in and wear nothing but the most uncomfortably and beautifully tailored clothes forever. Continue reading

The Unidentified Redhead (Redhead, #1)
I was going back and forth whether to give it a 3 or 4. As I really liked the first part and I giggled like crazy. But the later parts of the book was mostly them boinking each other to oblivion. And I really liked the silly beginning. I am so weird sometimes.Anyway this was fun chick-lit. Woman meets man, man is famous, and almost 10 years younger, rawr. Grace was fun and I did see myself in her, ahem..potty humour, well it's funny! And together with Jack they were witty and oh so cute. That was all I wanted, cuteness and fun and this book sure delivered. It did not try to make them something they were not, they were silly and proud of it. At least not I do not feel alone with my lame jokes and laughing at certain things.But yes the smexing was just insane, a bit too insane for me, coming like 17 times? Ok, her poor poor vjay jay. It must have taken a serious beating. But hey they were in love, in lust and going at it like rabbits. But at the end I wanted more, cute and fun is all I ask for when it comes to chick-lit/contemporary romance and that I got here.

ITER particpates as partner in the PLASMAC project, a new project led by the Cabildo of Tenerife through its Open Government Area.
The main objective of the project is the creation of a cloud platform to improve the socio – health care offered to the Macaronesian population: specifically in the Canary Islands and Madeira. The initiative, inspired by the principles of open governance (transparency, participation and collaboration) will allow to share and manage information in order to help public and political policy-makers to make better strategic decisions affecting the population in matter of social services.
ITER contributes with its wide experience in the development of technological applications oriented to provide electronic administration services, as well as to improve living standards and foster social and labour inclusion of elderly people, and in general of people with special needs.
The project was presented in a press conference addressed by the President of the Cabildo, Carlos Alonso, together with the Open Government regional Minister, Coromoto Yanes, the Innovation regional Minister Antonio García Marichal, the Director of the Institute for Social and Socio-Sanitary Care (IASS) and the Mayor of La Laguna, José Alberto Díaz on February 8. During his speech, the President stressed the importance of using new technologies in social welfare policies. "Plasmac will provide full services to people who need them" said Alonso, adding then that this experience could be used in other areas.
The INTERREG MAC 2014-2020 European Programme funds the 85% of the Plasmac project, presented by the Cabildo of Tenerife, ITER, the Institute for Social and Socio-Sanitary Care (IASS), the Town Hall of La Laguna and the University of Madeira. All these entities will participate in this project using a set of technological tools located in a cloud platform that will allow the creation of a control panel where to share information and foster the participation and collaboration.
In this way, social, organizational and technological efforts are intended to be added up to provide a tool that will enable the administrations involved to be more effective, efficient, preventive, proactive and open when making decisions regarding the design of public socio-health care programmes and policies and providing the citizens with social services in the most effective way.
The spirit of this platform is to become the daily use tool for anyone involved in the decision-making in the socio-medical sector, so that this institutional cooperation will lead to an improvement of life standards of the inhabitants living in the cooperation area while improving public services.
The Plasmac project is budgeted in 674.356,43 euros, of which 573.202,97 euro are financed by the European Union and the rest, 101.153,46 euros, are covered by entities that have presented the project with own contribution: Cabildo de Tenerife (26.880,06 euros), IASS (15.073,65 euros), ITER (28.875,02 euros), City Council of La Laguna (17.700,13 euros), and University of Madeira (12.624,61 euros).

Recap courtesy of Bowdoin College
BRUNSWICK, ME - The Bowdoin College women's basketball team never trailed after the opening minutes and controlled the contest throughout a convincing 61-43 win over third-ranked Tufts on Saturday afternoon at Morrell Gymnasium.
|Emma Roberson was the only Jumbo in double digits with 18 points
The Polar Bears improve to 4-2 this season while the Jumbos fall to 3-1. The contest was a rematch of the 2015 NESCAC title game last March, won by Tufts 68-52.
The Jumbos came out firing, building an early 8-0 lead thanks to a pair of Josie Lee lay-ups and baskets from Emma Roberson and Lauren Dillon.
The Polar Bears took over from there, out-scoring the Jumbos 11-2 for the remainder of the opening quarter, and holding a 11-10 advantage after one period. Kate Kerrigan and Marle Curle hit consecutive three-pointers to spark the Bowdoin rally.
Bowdoin would never trail again as they opened the second quarter on a 8-0 surge and scored a season-high 26 points in the second quarter alone. Brady scored as many points as Tufts did in the second period (10) and Lydia Caputi netted a pair of three-pointers to give the hosts a 37-20 lead at intermission.
The Jumbos rebounded in the third quarter as Michela North and Melissa Baptista combined for 13 of their team's 16 points as the visitors trimmed the lead to 46-36 entering the fourth. Tufts could get no closer than ten points, however, as Bowdoin opened the final stanza on a 7-2 run to seal the win.
Brady came two points shy of her career high, totaling 27 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks in a dominating performance inside for the Polar Bears. Kerrigan had nine points while Curle and Abigail Kelly ended with eight apiece for Bowdoin.
Roberson led Tufts with 18 points in the loss. Baptista had eight points and six boards.
Although Bowdoin finished at 39 percent shooting for the game, they did connect on 46 percent from three-point range (7-15) and held Tufts to 31 percent from the field, including 20 percent (3-15) from beyond the arc. Bowdoin also went 14-17 from the free throw line compared to 4-7 for the Jumbos.
This was the non-conference meeting between the teams. The NESCAC game will also be played in Brunswick on January 8.
Bowdoin will return to action on Wednesday evening with a home game against Maine-Farmington. Tufts will host Bridgewater State on Tuesday evening at 7:30 pm.

We were sent these photos by Peter Capnos who explained:
"When I started school in Malpas, probably around 1943, I was equipped with a disc worn on the wrist with my identity details - probably in case of war casualty or becoming lost. This as you will see was an inexpensive disc simply etched with my name and address with my national identity number on the back rather like a pet identity disc! I seem to remember a number of other children being similarly equipped and we used to pretend we had wristwatches - an unheard of possession for children in those days!"

There's a great crowd funding effort for a national survey on the age of the Earth. Please support this worthy project. Get more info here.
How old is the Earth?
A) 4,000 years
B) 6,000 years
C) 8,000 years
D) 10,000 years
E) more than 10,000 years
Most surveys do not focus on the age of the earth to this detail. It is often assumed that an anti-evolution belief is linked to Young Earth Science (YES), but this is not the case. Just consider the Intelligent Design (ID) movement. William Dembski has accepted a Global Flood; however, to the best of our knowledge he has not adopted YES yet. Phillip Johnson, the father of ID, is also sympathetic to YES. ID as a movement has not rejected Old Earth Fallacies (OEF's). [1] They should read the Wikipedia page defending a young planet from history and science. Or better yet, get the book on Young Earth Science (YES):
1) Darwin's Doubt by Stephen Meyer (HarperCollins, NYC, 2014), p. 72.

Toledoths and Genesis
There are 10 "Toledoths" which unite Genesis and demonstrate that the entire book is consecutive history. Toledoth means "this is the history of."
Archaeologist P.J. Wiseman wrote New Discoveries in Babylonia about Genesis in 1936. Wiseman found certain characteristics of ANE (Ancient Near Eastern) literature:
- Records begins abruptly with no heading
- Each tablet ends with a toledoth statement referring to what has been written before
- The name in the toledoth statement refers to the writer or owner of the tablet
Donald Wiseman has edited an updated version of his father's work, Clues to Creation in Genesis, and has provided more evidence that the toledoths are at the end of each section and denote the author. Here are the 10 toledoths:
Heavens & Earth (2.4) Adam (5.1)
Noah (6:9) Noah's sons (10.1)
Shem (11:10) Terah (11:27)
Ishmael (25:12) Isaac (25:19)
Esau (36:1) [1] Jacob (37:2)
Charles Taylor provides a helpful insight on the first toledoth, "Who, then, was the writer of the first record? Was it Adam, instructed by God, or could it even be God himself, writing as he wrote the ten commandments?" In Exodus 31:18 we learn that the Ten Commandments were written by the finger of God.
How does this apply? Consider the account of Abraham offering up Isaac:
Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you." Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. He said to his servants, "Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you." (Gen. 22:2-5)
Abraham started off toward Mount Moriah on the next morning – not millions of years later. On the third day (3 normal 24 hour days) of Abraham's journey he separated from his servants. These days were not periods of undefined length where events may have been out of sequence. According to advocates of Old Earth Fallacies (OEF's) Genesis gives an order of events contra Big Science:
Earth before the sun Light before the sun
Plants before the sun Man before thorns
Fruit trees before plants Trees before land animals
Flowers before bees Birds before dinosaurs
So we must take Genesis 1-11 as real history and not inject millions or billions of years into the text. Creation Week tells of the Lord making the heavens and earth with its plants and animals, including mankind, in 6 earth-rotation days. Before Day1 there was no light and prior to Day4 the sun did not exist. Stand up for Genesis – Truth Matters.
"I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?" (Jn. 3:12)
1) There is a repetition in Gen. 36:9.

Do You Mind?!
The mind exists apart from the brain – as does the soul. Yet atheists and materialists deny it. We are not meat machines. Do androids dream of electric sheep? Are we truly nothing but brain? Is there life after death? I'm a SOUL man not a MineCraft calculator. Saved, Originated by God, United with Christ and Life after Death (in heaven).
John Searle (Philosophy Prof., UC Berkeley) proposed the Chinese Room Experiment. I'm in a room and I don't know Chinese, but I'm given a series of questions in Chinese. I have the rules in English on how to write answers to these questions using Chinese characters. Those who get my answers think I understand Chinese, but I don't. In like manner, a smart computer has no real understanding, consciousness or mind.
Norman Geisler confronts the materialists who think they can explain the mind:
Also unwarranted is the assumption that, because the mind and brain function together, they must be identical. A corollary assumption is that I am nothing but my brain. This is reductionist fallacy. Things that go together are not necessarily the same, any more than ideas expressed by these words are the same as the words themselves. Mind and brain could interact without being the same. [1]
Brain is Mind advocates fall from logic. As Geisler reveals:
Materialist arguments are self-defeating. "Nothing but" statements assume "more than" knowledge. How could I know I am nothing more than my brain unless I was more than it? I cannot analyze my brain in a test tube unless I am outside the test tube. [2]
If the nonmaterial mind does not exist, how is it that most cultures have a sense of the afterlife? In The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist's Case for the Existence of the Soul by Mario Beauregard (neuroscientist) and Denyse O'Leary (science journalist) provide empirical evidence for a nonmaterial mind. Edward Feser teaches Philosophy at Pasadena City College and wrote The Philosophy of Mind. He provides a number of helpful links here.
"The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out" (Pr. 20:5).

The Same Sex?
The Same Sex was a book published many decades ago that sought to portray homosexuality in a more positive light. Now, those who point out the dangers of this alternative lifestyle are tagged H8RS. As Michael Brown observes:
How far does the Gay Rights Agenda extend? According to the Gay Rights Platform adopted in Chicago in 1972, we should support the ...
Chelsen Vicari has a chapter on the same sex dilemma in her book Distortion and quotes Francis Schaeffer, "… the morally unthinkable becomes thinkable as the years move on." [1]
Children in alternative lifestyle families often have a number of issues [2]:
Children in alternative lifestyle families often have a number of issues [2]:
God's plan for the family is the best:
The man [Adam] said,
"This is now bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man." [Gen. 2:21,22]
For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. (Gen. 2:23,24)

GoodNews Osmosis
God created the universe and you. At one time all was perfect. When our Creator made Adam and Eve (the first married couple) there were no police, wars, deadly tsunamis, or cancer. Sin came when they ate the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3). We are born sinners and we all sin. But sin has consequences. God is love and God is just. Rebellion must be punished.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).*
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
We are all doomed to permanent judgment – Jesus spoke very strongly about those who rejected him:
"Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 22:13).
"Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels …These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life" (Matthew 25:41,46).
But, thank God, there is a solution! Jesus is both God and Man. He came to earth to rescue us from our sin problem. He is the only way to heaven.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. … the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:1,14).
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
क्योंकि परमेश्वर ने जगत से ऐसा प्रेम रखा कि उस ने अपना एकलौता पुत्र दे दिया, ताकि जो कोई उस पर विश्वास करे, वह नाश न हो, परन्तु अनन्त जीवन पाए। John 3:16 (Hindi)
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me" (John 14:6).
Jesus lived a perfect life and committed no sin. When Christ died on the cross he became our substitute and took the punishment for sin in our place.
"All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him" (Isaiah 53:6).
Our response is faith and repentance (turn from sin). Jesus died for sin and rose again 3 days later. The Apostle Paul explains the gospel (GoodNews):
"Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas [Peter], then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep [died]" (1 Corinthians 15:1-6).
"… God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man [Jesus] whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead" (Acts 17:30,31).
Salvation is not obtained by being nice, giving to charity or going to church:
"But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, he saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration [born again] and renewing by the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3:4,5).
Once we become Christians we want to live for Jesus and obey his commands:
"For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf" (2 Corinthians 5:14,15).
Some reject the Bible because they think evolution is a fact. Check out YES – Young Earth Science which defends a young earth from history and science and deals with Darwinism. The first 11 chapters of Genesis are true history from the Creator of the cosmos. Believe the GoodNews about Jesus today – the only route to true hope and positive change.

The Chicago Statement, ICBI, Walter Bradley & Henry Morris (Pt. 1)
Harold Lindsell (d. 1998, Ph.D., D.D.) was the editor of Christianity Today for over a decade. His book The Battle for the Bible, which came out in 1978, rocked the evangelical world as it took a strong stance on inerrancy. Journalist Larry Witham (Where Darwin Meets the Bible) makes a connection between the battle for the Bible and the inerrancy movement which led to the Chicago Statement generated by the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy (ICBI). [1] Observe Article XII (Chicago Statement on Inerrancy, emphasis added):
We affirm that Scripture in its entirety is inerrant, being free from all falsehood, fraud, or deceit. We deny that Biblical infallibility and inerrancy are limited to spiritual, religious, or redemptive themes, exclusive of assertions in the fields of history and science. We further deny that scientific hypotheses about earth history may properly be used to overturn the teaching of Scripture on creation and the flood.
One would think this was written by a traditional creationist (creation in 6 days, Global Flood, young earth).
The companion book to the Chicago Statement on Hermeneutics was Hermeneutics, Inerrancy, and the Bible. Walter Bradley, former Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M, wrote a very influential chapter: "The Trustworthiness of Scripture in Areas Relating to Natural Science." It is available online here. We responded to this work in 2007. This same volume has a 12 page response to Bradley by the father of modern creationism, Henry Morris (d. 2006).
Henry Morris predicted that, "… unless the ICBI can somehow become convinced of the foundational importance of strict creationism for maintaining a consistent belief in inerrancy, its efforts will likely prove of only ephemeral effectiveness." [2]
Morris made this comment on The Chicago Statement on Biblical Hermeneutics:
The statement finally adopted by the council was so innocuous on the subject of origins that it would not even exclude evolution as an acceptable interpretation. That was the reason I could not sign their statement on biblical hermeneutics. [3]
Morris further warned of the slippery slope syndrome:
Progressive creationism … has already, for well over a hundred years, served as the camel's nose by which theistic evolution and eventually full-blown religious liberalism have come in and taken over … the reason why most laymen … reject the Bible is because they have been taught evolution and the great age of the earth, and they know that this presumed "fact of science" contradicts the Bible's very first chapter. [4]
Bruce Waltke resigned from Reformed Seminary after making remarks about evolution in 2010. Waltke makes it clear that the slippery slope is genuine:
I am not a scientist, but I have familiarized myself with attempts to harmonize Genesis 1-3 with science, and I believe that creation by the process of evolution is a tenable Biblical position, and, as represented by BioLogos, the best Christian apologetic to defend Genesis 1-3 against its critics.
Waltke wrote a chapter in Hermeneutics, Inerrancy, and the Bible and according to Norman Geisler, "all the writers are in agreement with the ICBI stand on inerrancy." [5]
Affirm the truth of Genesis 1-11 and fight Old Earth Fallacies (OEF's). Consider the analogy of Daniel's diet (Dan. 1:8-20). He and his comrades were tested for ten days by eating vegetables. He refused to compromise – we too should dare to be a Daniel! Also notice that it was 10 days, not 10M years. Ancient veggies don't taste good. Biblical authority starts with a conservative Biblical hermeneutic applied to Genesis. Biblical inerrancy matters.
… the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar .. (Rom. 3:3,4, ESV)
A new book defends a young earth from Philosophy, Geology, History and Biology. A shortcut to the site is TotalYouth.us >> "for TOTAL truth, support earth's YOUTH."

Happy in the Lord
It might seem crazy what I'm gonna say
Sunshine's God's gift – it ain't fake
He made the heavens way up in space
The Lord gave you air, now and every day
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel that Jesus' love is the proof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know the Gospel is the truth
Sometime bad news hits our back
Hold to the Unchanging Hand – that's a fact
I should probably warn you of the Devil's line
Skip the brights - don't waste your time
Bring me down?
Can't nothing bring me down
My God is too high and mighty
- 4L Williams
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation …
O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God; sing praises to the Lord …
Awesome is God from his sanctuary; the God of Israel
- he is the one who gives power and strength to his people.
Blessed be God! (Ps. 68:19,32,35, ESV).
Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation …
Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses.
Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins (Ps. 25:4,5,16-18, ESV).
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody!
With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!
Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it!
Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together before the Lord,
For he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity (Ps. 98:4-9, ESV).

OC Weekly, Bill Morgan and BIAS
In 2012, Adam O'Neal wrote a significant article on creationist Bill Morgan in the OC Weekly (Orange County, CA). He starts off speaking of Francisco Ayala (biologist, UC – Irvine, former Dominican priest) who admitted:
Randomly induced mutations are usually deleterious. In a precisely organized and coupled system like the genome of an organism, a random change will most frequently decrease, rather than increase, the orderliness or useful information of the system. [1]
That is, mutations reduce information, yet evolution in the sense of Bacteria-to-BigBangTheory (the TV show) requires an increase in info.
Ayala stated elsewhere, "From today's perspective, [Theodosius] Dobzhansky appears as perhaps the most eminent evolutionist of the twentieth century." [2] So, let's hear what Dobzhansky said about one of Darwin's critics,
The book of Pierre P. Grassé [The Evolution of Living Organisms] … is a frontal attack on all kinds of 'Darwinism.' His purpose is to 'destroy the myth of evolution as a simple, understood and explained phenomenon,' and to show that evolution is a mystery about which little is, and perhaps can be, known. Now, one can disagree with Grassé but not ignore him. He is the most distinguished of French zoologists, the editor of the 28 volumes of 'Traité de Zoologie,' author of numerous original investigations, and ex-president of The Academie des Sciences. His knowledge of the living world is encyclopedic. [3]
The Evolution of Living Organisms is an older work; nevertheless, Grassé's critique of Darwin has not been refuted.
O'Neal brings up polling data. A recent AP-GfK poll showed that a full 36% of Americans (18 years old & up) are "not too (or not at all) confident" that the Earth is 4.5B years old. If evolutionary evidence is so convincing, why is this number so large? O'Neal was kind enough to plug Bill Morgan's website FishDontWalk.com where you can find a Neato-Esposito comic. Morgan appeared on George Noory's Coast-to-Coast AM in 2007.
Is there a slant in Major Media – YES! This article by O'Neal verifies that fact. Emmy Award winner Bernie Goldberg was at CBS for almost 30 years and wrote Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News. A revised edition came out just last year.
"He who states his case first seems right, until his rival comes and cross-examines him" (Pr. 18:17, Amp.).
Be sure to tell your friends about the cool new book showing that Philosophy, Geology, Biology and History favor Young_Earth_Science (YES). There is a shortcut to the site >> TotalYouth.us >> "For TOTAL Truth, support Earth's YOUTH."

2) Ayala, Francisco J., "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution, Theodosius Dobzhansky: 1900-1975," Journal of Heredity, vol. 68, (January/February 1977), p. 6.
3) Dobzhansky, Theodosius, "Darwinian or 'Oriented' Evolution?" Evolution, vol. 29 (June 1975), p. 376, emphasis added.
p.s.: I was a journalist for a year before I attended the University of Oklahoma. I had the privilege to interview Maya Angelou. I have a great respect for O'Neal's profession and overall, he did an excellent job considering the WorldView that he wrote from.

Tall Oak Tree – Adam & Eve
"Tall Oak Tree" by Dorsey Burnette (d. 1979) hit #23 on the charts in 1960.
There was a tall oak tree
That loved a babbling brook
And the babbling brook
Loved the mountain high
And the mountain high
Loved the sky above
The Creator looked down
And saw everything was
Love, love, love
Then he took a bone
And a piece of mud
He made a man and a woman
To be flesh and blood
And then along came the Devil
Up out of the ground
He tempted woman and
That spread sin all around
All around, all around
If she'd left that apple
On the apple tree
There'd be no tears and sorrow
We'd live eternally …
Here is a version by Johnny Rivers. Glen Campbell also sang this song.

UNBROKEN – The Rest of the Story
Louis Silvie "Louie" Zamperini (1917- 2014) was an Olympic distance runner and suffered greatly during WWII. He was tortured horribly in Japanese prison camps and was very bitter after the war.
Zamperini had nightmares about strangling his persecutors and this led to a serious drinking problem. His wife went to the famous Billy Graham Los Angeles crusade and was converted. Zamperini heard the Gospel at the Graham meeting and placed his faith in Christ. As a Christian he forgave his enemies and the nightmares ended!
Zamperini visited many of the guards from his POW days to let them know that he had forgiven them. In 1950 he visited the Sugamo Prison in Tokyo and embraced those who knew him and so expressed his forgiveness personally. Some of the former guards got saved‼
His latest book, Don't Give Up, Don't Give In: Lessons from an Extraordinary Life, was published just a few months ago.
Billy Graham's organization has an excellent piece on Zamperini. Here are some videos from CBN. Here are a few more vids. Now you know the truth about UNBROKEN and The Rest of the Story (Thx Paul Harvey‼).

Lessons we could learn in the window and door industry
Whilst lounging by the pool on holiday last month I thought I would take the opportunity to read something other than the usual trashy novel. I asked friends for some advice and I was recommended "The Paradox of Choice" by economist Barry Schwartz. Just before you all stop reading this blog, it isn't a book review of some obscure economist, so bear with me and you will see where I am going here.
The central theme of the book is that too much choice leads to paralysis and ultimately less satisfaction with the choices we have made. When presented with literally hundreds of options we get more concerned about the alternatives we could choose and worry that we will make the wrong decision. And when (and if) we do finally choose one, we can't help but think was it the right choice? Which actually leads to less satisfaction with the purchase in the end. The book does expand on this very paraphrased idea and is well worth a read (or watch his very interesting and concise lecture.)
In the book Schwartz uses the example of his local grocery store with 189 options on salad dressing, with even more "make your own" options with 10 types of olive oil and 15 brands of balsamic vinegar. In our world of windows and doors the options available are the grocery store example multiplied and then multiplied again. Take the composite door market for example: once you have chosen foam filled over timber core (and now hybrids!) you are confronted with hundreds of colours (one major company was marketing 15 shades of grey – as if this was a benefit); hundreds of glass options; not just lock systems but choices of cylinders; sidelights or no sidelights; brass or chrome furniture in multiple designs – the list goes on … and on … and on. When Door Stop came to the market they claimed that six billion combinations were available!
When confronted with this amount of choice and – in many cases – conflicting information from online reviews, how can the consumer make a choice? I know this only too well from personal experience as, for seven years now, my wife has been asking me (actually telling me!) to get a new front door. In her view its simple: something that looks better than the old timber door we have, preferably in grey (but its not a deal breaker) and more secure than the 25 year old Yale lock that we have currently. For me though paralysis has set in – I have just too many choices; Which grey? Should we have biometric or standard lock? Which door? Which frame – and should it match? And I haven't even started on the glass options. On numerous occasions I've almost got to a final decision, but at the last minute I think to myself:-
"is that the right choice … what if I get it wrong? … after all, this is supposedly my area of expertise"
I am not decrying the choice available today in the market; there are some incredibly innovative products out there and I fully understand that each company wants to differentiate its offering from the next guy. As a supplier to the industry we have been offering more and more choices to our customers for years … in fact it's the cornerstone of our business model. But the more and more I think about the issue and see it from the consumer or installer and retailer's point of view, the more I believe that the ever-expanding choices are making decisions more difficult to make – and maybe even reducing the overall volumes sold.
I hear you say:
"it's all very well to talk about too much choice but we have to offer what the consumer wants!"
and I agree. The discerning customer, who has done his or her research, or with the guidance of a technically competent sales person, should be able to get what they want and take advantage of the plethora of choice this wonderful industry has to offer. But for the consumer who just wants a door or windows to serve a function, whilst looking good (rather like my wife), how do we streamline the choice and make the decision simpler and in the end more rewarding?
Watch this space for information on the new RegaLead Essentials composite door range – a simple range of doors, colours, glass and furniture options, neatly packaged and marketed to help you sell to those people – like my wife – who just want a door.

In China, HIV testing and treatment services remain inaccessible for many because of long-standing stigmas.
But as CGTN's Ryan Chua reports, efforts are being made in the private sector to tackle the problem.
It's been more than four years, but Xiao Ji still recalled the day he was diagnosed with HIV. The diagnosis only happened by accident. He was in the hospital because of a stomach problem when blood tests revealed his condition.
"I didn't know much about the disease at the time," Xiao explained. "I thought it was impossible for me to contract it. So when the doctor told me about my condition, I was devastated. My mind went blank and I thought about suicide."
Had he not been in the hospital for another reason, Xiao says he wouldn't have known his HIV status. Being LGBT is still taboo in China, so many gay men find it hard to access services like HIV-testing.
It's a problem the online social networking platform Blued has sought to address for years. The company has tapped into the popularity of its dating app, with more than 27 million users, to promote HIV awareness and prevention, and encourage testing.
"Most of them want to try to be hidden and the population don't want to come out to get services," Blued's Dr. Mi Guodong explained. "Through this platform, the app, which is a smartphone-based app, we can approach the people who hide themselves."
China banned discrimination against those with HIV and AIDS ten years ago, but patients are still struggling to find their place in society.
Blued offers free HIV testing in its Beijing office and other locations in China. This is in partnership with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, or China CDC.
A year after his diagnosis, Xiao started a HIV support group and counseling service.
"I wanted to help the gay community learn about safe sexual conduct and understand what HIV really is. The fact that a lot of my friends who had HIV and other diseases died, left a lasting impression on me."

How to Improve Your Marketing – 4 Hacks for Monitoring the Competition
A great way to come up with innovative ideas and find out where you're succeeding or failing is to spy on your competitors. Did I say "spy?" I meant to say, "Pay close attention to everything they do." Okay, that sounds a little stalker-ish as well. Let's say "monitor" your competitors.
You can glean a great deal of insight by studying your competitors. You can discover:
* Where their marketing is weak or strong so that you can capitalize on their weaknesses.
* Your own natural strengths, or the areas where your marketing is stronger than theirs.
* Ideas to help you set yourself apart from your competitors.
* Exactly what the market thinks of your competitors. You can use this information to find needs they're not meeting in the market.
The cool thing is that the internet offers a plethora of information that's free and available to help you stalk… er, I mean monitor your competitors. Here are four handy hacks for doing it.
Get Alerts
Wouldn't it be nice if you could know exactly what your competitor is doing online in real-time? Well, you can by signing up for alerts.
The most popular alert system is Google Alerts. You can choose the search terms you'd like to be alerted for, and whenever somebody posts one of these terms online, you'll be notified immediately. For your search terms, you can use your competitor's company name, or any other relevant keyword.
There are other types of alerts as well. In addition to Google Alerts, which is probably the most comprehensive, you can also sign up for social alerts for social media sites, or use special monitoring tools that have alert features.
Become a Follower
Follow your competitors everywhere possible so that you receive their marketing communications. Sign up for their email list, subscribe to their blog, follow them on social media, subscribe to their YouTube channel, and so on. Pay attention to how they talk to their audience and what kind of content they share. Pay especially close attention wherever possible to the audience's reactions to their communications.
Be a Customer
Become a customer of our competitor. Don't worry, you don't have to actually buy anything. You can visit their website as if you're going to make an order but stop before you buy. You'll see what the process is like. You can contact your competitor with a question or enquiry to see how they treat their customers. If you're following them on social media, see how they deal with negative comments or complaints.
Find Your Competitors Offline
Make an effort to connect with your competitors offline. This is a real ninja spy maneuver that takes quite a bit more effort but can yield incredible results. A certain friend of mine managed to take several of the ex-staff of one of his major competitors drinking and the information he got out of them was real insider stuff.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. Always be on the lookout for ways you can follow and connect with your competitors so that you know what they're doing.
