Normally, I'm the first person who tries to make fun of somebody doing something worthwhile and as much as I'd like to mock up-and-coming Kansas City musician Barclay Martin for his recent musical outreach efforts, I actually think what he did was kind of cool.
In many parts of the the Philippines, desperate poverty and terrorism are part of daily life. The upcoming documentary, Zamboanga follows Martin's journey through the southern region of the Philippines as he meets with the locals and puts on a concert that incorporates some of the native sounds into his music.
In addition to the intrinsic value of sharing music and culture, the movie was produced in order to showcase "the capability, dedication and joyful resilience of people impacted by poverty and war in the Philippines." The movie was produced by The Christian Foundation for Children and Aging. However, from the quick clips and promos that I've seen online, it doesn't seem like it's the average missionary trip set to trendy music. There appears to be a genuine effort to get to know the people in the region and learn their story. In a recent chat with Martin, I noticed he kinda looks like Jesus Christ nowadays, but seems way more humble regarding his recent efforts.
"I was lucky to be a part of it, it's probably the most important thing I have done or will do," Martin said. "Meeting with so many people from the Philippines I felt lucky to experience their music and culture first hand. The opportunity to learn so much was amazing."
Equally amazing is the concert that serves as the highlight of the documentary. Martin and other members of the production team were astounded that a jungle clearing was set up for the event and people from the far corners of the South Philippines made their way to the show. Martin said that the area was so remote, it's probably all grown over now, but the clearing and concert spoke to the ethereal nature of culture in the Philippines, a country caught in the grips of violent conflict and poverty.
Kansas City residents will have a chance to check out Martin's efforts soon. The Barclay Martin Ensemble will perform songs from the "Zamboanga: Poverty, War, Music" CD early next month at Johnson County Community College in Yardley Hall on Sunday November 8 at 5 PM. It's an all ages show and will include special appearances by the choir and dance group from the Filipino Cultural Center of the Filipino Association of Greater Kansas City. The show is free but I have a feeling it'll be pretty packed given the enthusiasm with which Martin has been talking it up around town and the fact that it's a unique kind of project coming back to the Kansas City Area.

In memory of Wilkes McDermid – where these London Street Food traders are now
This time two years ago a fine food photograher friend Wilkes McDermid, who was probably the biggest supporter of the London street food scene, left us.

New London Street Food Market – a Q&A with founder Mike Norledge
Boom! Hampstead's getting a new food market, folk. So what's the deal?

"How are you?" "I'm fine." That response doesn't really mean anything, does it?

Sunday at Maltby Street Market: still a London street food staple
"Maltby shmaltby – it just gets so busy, there, so I've stopped going," a few people have said to me recently about Maltby Street Market in Bermondsey. Well, fusty friends, I've got news.

The main device (symbol) in the Karp blazon is the mullet. The two main tinctures (colors) are azure and or.
Azure is the heraldic colour blue, usually quite a deep, dark shade of the colour (there is a lighter blue that sometimes occurs, known as celestial azure). If colour printing is not available then it can be represented by closely spaced horizontal lines in a scheme known as "hatching" 1Boutell's Heraldry, J.P. Brooke-Little, Warne, (revised Edition) London 1970, P 26. The word is thought to originate from the Arabic lazura and it represents the colour of the eastern sky. It is also said to be the colour associated by the Catholic Church with the Virgin Mary and hence of particular significance 2The Symbolisms of Heraldry, W. Cecil Wade, George Redway, London, 1898 P150.
The bright yellow colour frequently found in coats of arms is known to heralds as Or, or sometimes simply as Gold.3Boutell's Heraldry, J.P. Brooke-Little, Warne, (revised Edition) London 1970, P 27. Along with, argent, or silver it forms the two "metals" of heraldry – one of the guidelines of heraldic design is that silver objects should not be placed upon gold fields and vice versa 4A Complete Guide to Heraldry, A.C. Fox-Davies, Bonanza (re-print of 1909 Edition), New York, 1978, P85. The yellow colour is often associated with the Sun, and the zodiacal sign of Leo.5Understanding Signs & Symbols – Heraldry, S. Oliver & G. Croton, Quantum, London, 2013, P53.
The heraldic mullet, not to be confused with the fish of that name, is shown as a regular, five pointed star. This was originally, not an astronomical object, but represented the spur on a horseman's boot, especially when peirced, with a small circular hole in the centre it represents a type of spur known as a "rowel" 6Boutell's Heraldry, J.P. Brooke-Little, Warne, (revised Edition) London 1970, P 97. A clear example can be found in the arms of Harpendene, argent, a mullet pierced gules. The ancient writer Guillim associated such spurs in gold as belonging to the Knight, and the silver to their esquires 7A Display of Heraldry, J. Guillim, Blome, London, 1679, P107. In later years, Wade linked this five pointed star with the true celestial object, the estoile and termed it a "falling star", symbolising a "divine quality bestowed from above" 8The Symbolisms of Heraldry, W. Cecil Wade, George Redway, London, 1898 P105.

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States, and in the spirit of the day, I am re-running some thoughts I have shared in the past on why that Disney magic is one of the many things I am thankful for…..
Thanksgiving is traditionally a day to offer thanks for the blessings that we have received. I have been thinking about this, and wondering how to potentially relate it to visiting Disney World….because let's face it, being thankful for being able to visit Walt Disney World is more than a little materialistic…
Still, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that, for me at least, it isn't being able to visit Disney that I am thankful for……it is those precious family moments, memories, and the magic that goes along with them that I consider to be a true blessing, especially in this crazy world that we live in. So while yes, special family moments can be experienced many places, at Disney, those moments are truly magical.
People who haven't experienced that magic often ask me: "Why are you going to Disney World AGAIN?" And this is what I tell them:
Would you believe me if I said it's all about the magic? Seriously!
Let me tell you about that magic…….
It's the magic of seeing a young child completely and totally believe in dreams, and fairies, and pixie dust, and knowing, just KNOWING, that if you wish hard enough, your wish will come true. And the magic of seeing those wishes and dreams reflected in their face when they see a castle up close, and dance with a princess, and see a fairy fly.
The magic of seeing an older child or teenager forget for a few days that they are supposed to be "cool" and instead let their inner kid out, wear a Mickey Ears hat, and scream like crazy on Tower of Terror….right next to their parents, with whom they are actually enjoying spending time.
The magic of a young adult couple who are so in love that they believe that fairy tales do come true and decide that there is no better place on earth to get engaged, or married, than that place where princesses live happily ever after with their prince charmings.
The magic of families gathering, with multiple generations, to share in the joy of being together, with no worries, no cares, just love, and laughter.
The magic of tearing up when you hear a song that you heard as a child because it reminds you of a time when all was innocent, and simple, and true.
Walt Disney World does not create the magic, contrary to what many think. It just creates a place where people create the magic for themselves. Oh yes, the cynics will say (and with some justification perhaps) that it is just one big show that is set up to get people to spend lots of money.
And, yes, you can look at it that way. But to me, I don't see Disney World as a show so much as a stage – albeit an extremely elaborate one – that puts all the pieces in place, for the show to take place. The show, and the magic, happens when the players – the guests – play their parts.
We come, we play, we laugh, we share, we pretend for a few days that there are no worries, no cares, no problems that can't be solved. In other words, we create magic.
THAT is why we go back.
Offering thanks today for that magic, and wishing many magical memories for you and your family….wherever you may find them. From all of us here at The Affordable Mouse, have a wonderful, safe, and magical Thanksgiving!

By Shawn Kennedy, MA, RN, AJN editor-in-chief
One of my fondest memories of working Christmas Eve was after an evening shift at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. This was at the "old Bellevue Hospital," when it still occupied a series of red brick buildings along the East River.
I had finished my evening shift in the ER, which was one of the busiest in the nation. It had been a crazy–busy night and I was too wired to just go home and sleep, so I decided to stop in the chapel for midnight mass. I was surprised to see my friend Helen there, since she was Jewish. I knew Helen always volunteered to work over the Christmas holiday so those who celebrated could be with their families, but I didn't know that after work she'd go to the chapel to listen to the Christmas music, which apparently she loved.
We sat together, enjoying the quiet, calm pace of the service and the music. Helen knew all the words and sang along; she had a beautiful voice. Staff, visitors, and some patients (wearing the classic blue-and-white-striped Bellevue bathrobes—like draw sheets, these were hard to come by) shuffled in and out during the hour, clinicians sometimes leaving hurriedly after being summoned by a beeper.
On the way out of the hospital, we popped into the ER to see how things were going—like us, that, too, had calmed down. Someone had brought in food (there was always food on holiday shifts), so after grabbing a bite to eat and visiting for a bit, commiserating about working on holidays, Helen and I went back to our apartments to sleep and get ready for the next day's work.
It's a memory that always stuck with me and became one of my fondest memories of Helen, who died two years ago. In our December issue last year, we published an essay, "A Change of Heart," in our Reflections column. It dealt with a nurse's feelings about working on Christmas yet again and being apart from her family. We've all been there—and we welcome you to share your memories.

Seen It a Million Times. Like Dueling Shows or Dueling Movies, sometimes two(or more) items in the market are in direct competition of one another. Like always these products have to be in use at the same time, otherwise it's Follow the Leader or Serial Numbers Filed Off. Also the Console Wars have their own entry. It was epic. Examples
|Capsule Pitch Description
|Dolls For Girls
|Barbie was meant to be a revolutionary new way for little girls to play with dolls. Bratz took the "glamourous" lifestyle and ramped it up to 11.
|Bratz took the title from Barbie rather resoundingly in terms of sales. Then a copyright lawsuit brought Bratz' to an end.
|Carbonated Soft Drinks that were created around the same time.
|Coca-Cola has typically had more success a "traditional" audience. Pepsi usually is more successful with younger audiences.
|From The Other Wiki...According to Beverage Digest's 2008 report on Carbonated Soft Drinks, Pepsi Co's U.S. market share is 30.8 percent, while The Coca-Cola Company's is 42.7 percent.
|I'm A Mac
|And I'm A Windows PC
|Personal computers designed, developed, and marketed to users. Apple was the solution for the novice computer hobbyist that became Mac; IBM wanted a more business - friendly version whose OS became Windows
|Apple has focused less on advertising their features, and spent more time attacking windows P Cs. Windows commercials typically advertise their features instead of their competitor's faults.
|Ongoing, but Windows still has at least 80% market share between all versions.
|Body Sprays that have had a lot of success marketing you young men and teenagers
|"You'll get laid if you spray this on"
|No winners yet. Only losers who use these products as a replacement for showering.
|Blu Ray
|High definition optical disc format
|The Other Wiki has a better analysis than ThisTroper could ever dream up.
|Toshiba admitted defeat on Feb 19, 2008. Two key situations that caused this was: The PS 3 being a Blu Ray player and Warner Bros announcing that they would cease HD DVD support on Jan 4, 2008.
|XM Radio
|Sirius Radio
|Revolutionary Satellite Radio Providers
|Very Similar Marketing Strategies. So much so that at the launch of this trope there's no a agreed discernable difference yet.
|Sadly only losers. Neither company could survive on it's own and have now merge (Sirius bought XM if you want to get technical). The future is still murky.
Hello, Unknown Troper. You'll need to get known to lend a hand here.

Though also Dueling Shows, Transformers and Challenge Of The Go Bots both had toy lines that also dueled.
The Console Wars are a case of the consumers taking it far more seriously than the corporations ever did.
There's also the Cola Wars (Pepsi + affiliates v. Coca Cola + affiliates), the Snack Wars (um...I forget who the big two are, sorry), and the Fast Food Wars (McDonalds versus Burger King versus Wendy's vs...)
And there's also Mac vs. Windows.
Don't forget the big one: Democrats vs. Republicans.
I think Dems vs Repubs is a bit of a stretch - if you include non-product examples you'd have to include also every case of opposed ideologies, philosophies, etc.
- Edge VS Tag - bodysprays
- Lays VS Jays - potato chips
- Mc Donalds VS Burger King - fast food resturaunts
I don't know if you could count Barbie vs Bratz, since Barbie has been around far longer. It's more like Barbie vs every other girl fashion doll that has been on the market for the past years. Also, "toys for little girls" is your description of what makes them similar?
In Russia, there is a melee atrois between three mobile phone operators: MTS vs Beeline vs Megaphone.
Bratz did not have a reign of terror...
This probably largely varies from country to country. In Hungary, two electronics store chains called Media Markt and Saturn are vested in such deep rivalry that by now pretty much all their ads make fun of the other chain.
While we do have Commercial Tropes, this seems to be skirting the edge of exactly what counts as a trope. Remember when someone suggested Restaurant Decay?
Media formats:
- 8-Track, whose inventor also founded Learjet, challenged reel - to - reel and minicassettes for the audio - on - the go market. While most critics agreed 8-tracks had better sound quality, they were bulky and their market share fell to just a niche market.
- VHS vs. Beta. Today, you can still occasionally find VHS movies and players on the market. Beta, not so much.
- After the 1.44MB floppy, numerous "superfloppy" formats came out. Iomega's Zip drive held the largest market share, but then rewritable C Ds and portable memory sticks came out....
- DVD-R vs DVD+R vs DVD-RAM: these formats were so similar, customers got them mixed up, so now most writers do both +R and -R. The market is about 60% -R / -RW and 40% +R / +RW with only single digitis for -RAM.
- Bluray vs HD DVD. Just in the last year or so, Blueray won.
- Apple was the solution for the novice computer hobbyist that became Mac; IBM wanted a more business - friendly version whose OS became Windows. Ongoing, but Windows still has over 80% market share between all versions.
I thought we had something about Format Wars; if not, we need to. Note that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Cassette Compact Cassette] was what most people just called a "cassette", not the minicassette. And don't forget that floppies came in at least 4 different physical sizes of 8, 5.25, 3.5, and 3 inches, although only two of those were common on personal computers. Fun!
In the UK in 1989-90 the official satellite TV company BSB lost out to Rupert Murdoch's upstart Sky TV due to Sky's cheaper equipment and better marketing. The result was BSkyB, with Sky as dominant partner. In the 2000s there's a rivalry between BSkyB's Sky Digital on satellite and Virgin on cable, but I couldn't tell you if either is winning.
About the "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" commercials, it seems to me that Apple has given up entirely on advertising their features, and has chosen to instead start a smear campaign against P Cs (which, honestly, has completely turned me off from Macs, quite the opposite of their intention). Windows commercials (and any other PC-related commercials I can think of) have taken the higher road, choosing to advertise their features instead of their competitor's faults. Sure, Macs get fewer viruses than P Cs, but that's because P Cs make up most of the Internet; if there were more Macs, there'd be more viruses for Macs. Macs are mostly (if not entirely) designed by a single company, Apple, while P Cs are made of technology from many different companies, allowing them to be customised much more than Macs (as in, you can choose which motherboard, processor, and the like you want, while Macs usually have a set mobo & CPU (at least as far as I know), for example). Of course, I'm kinda biased, since I've only used a Mac once, or maybe twice.
Soft drinks, of all things, can have different demographics???
Satellite Radio: XM vs Sirius, recently won by Sirius when they bought out XM.
Bionicle and Mega Blox's Blok Bots and Neo Shifters. Hot Wheels and Matchbox anyone?
Apparently, unknown 126.96.36.199! There are commercials about how MEN CAN'T DRINK DIET SODA SO THEY MUST DRINK PEPSI MAX...A DIET SODA! BUT FOR MEN!

Understanding The E900's Fujinon 4x Optical Zoom Lens
The Fujifilm® FinePix E900® compact digital camera boasts a Fujinon® 4 x optical zoom lens. Fujinon® lenses have long been respected by professional photographers for their optical quality. This particular lens has a variable focal length of 7.2 mm – 28.8 mm producing the equivalent perspective as a 32 mm – 130 mm zoom lens on a 35 mm film camera.
The Fujinon® 4 x Optical Zoom Lens
The 4x zoom range is far more versatile than the 3x zoom lenses fitted to most compact cameras. All elements are constructed from optical glass, [not plastic], consisting of 6 elements in 5 groups. There are 3 aspherical elements.
The maximum aperture is f2.8 at the wide angle setting. This reduces to f 5.6 at the other, [telephoto], end of the scale. The minimum aperture is f 8. Aperture settings can be set in ten steps at 1/3 ev increments.
The lens will focus as close as 60cm [2 feet] in normal mode, and 7.5 cm [3 inches] in macro mode.
The lens retracts into the E900 camera body when the camera is switched off where it is covered by an automatic lens protector.
Two Fujinon lens adapters are available. These are fitted via the optional AR-FXE02 lens adapter ring, [which also accepts 42mm filters]. The Fujinon® 0.76 wide-angle lens adapter WL-FXE01 is particularly useful for architectural photography. It also further reduces the minimum focal point of the camera when in macro mode for ultra high definition close-ups. The adapter provides the equivalent perspective of a 24 mm lens on a 35 mm film camera.
The TL-FXE01 1. 94x telephoto lens adapter is a high quality unit that must not be confused by non-proprietary alternatives. This adapter, which also requires the AR-FXE02 lens adapter ring, converts the E900's lens to provide an equivalent perspective of a 248mm lens on a 35 mm film camera.
More About Your E900 Fujinon® 4 x Zoom Lens
Correcting Chromatic Aberration Such As Purple Fringing.
This article shows three ways of removing chromatic aberration from your photographs using either your favourite image editor such as Adobe Photoshop®, Paintshop Pro®, or ACDSee® Pro, or from RAW files using S7raw.
Correcting Lens Distortion.
Your Fujinon® 4 x Zoom lens suffers with slight, [normal], barrel distortion at the wide setting. The use of supplimentary lenses may also cause distortions. In this article you will learn how to eliminate them from your prints.

Qatar Airways welcomed Orbis Flying Eye Hospital to Doha with an official reception at Doha International Airport (DIA).
The reception was attended by British ambassador Ajay Sharma, Bangladesh ambassador Ashud Ahmed, Qatar Fund for Development executive director Misfir Hamad al-Shahwani and other dignitaries and special guests.
A welcome speech was delivered by Hamad International Airport vice-president (commercial and marketing) Abdulaziz al-Mass.
The aircraft, a medical training facility housed within a MD-10 aircraft, will be on display until March 29 as part of a tour to raise awareness about preventable blindness and its impact on developing countries.
The plane, which touched down in London and Ireland over the last few weeks, will offer students, medical professionals and partners a "unique experience" – the opportunity to explore the 'hospital with wings'.
While in Doha, the Flying Eye Hospital will be promoting Qatar Creating Vision, an eye health initiative that brings together three charities and 19 hospitals with the aim of providing 5.5mn child eye tests and treatments to children in India and Bangladesh before 2020.
Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar al-Baker said, "Qatar Airways strongly believes in giving back to the global community. When you have the power to contribute towards making a difference, it is your obligation to do so. As an airline that connects communities and people around the world, we are delighted to have supported Orbis since 2012.
Khalifa bin Jassim al-Kuwari, director-general of Qatar Fund for Development, noted: "Half of childhood vision loss can be prevented or cured, so there is much that we can do to improve access to eye care, which everyone deserves."
Dr Robert Walters, Orbis special envoy to the Middle East, thanked al-Baker, the State of Qatar and the Qatar Fund for Development.
As a charity, Orbis trains eye care teams across the world by providing medical professionals with enhanced skills, enabling them to treat people struggling with treatable blindness within their community.

How to Make Cappuccino with an Espresso Machine
Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista Expert Review
Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista Espresso & Cappuccino System
Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista System (Details & Specs)
Using an Espresso Machine
Making your espresso in an espresso machine is the easiest of course. When it comes to how to make cappuccino, this is the least difficult. Just follow the instructions that come with your espresso maker.
Heating the Milk
- When it comes to how to make cappuccino the milk is key. Even though you can use any type of milk you want, just remember that using whole milk is going to steam easier and will create the best foam for making a great cappuccino. Also, if you use skim milk, it often will separate more.
- When it comes to how to make a cappuccino you will want to take your milk and pour it into a pitcher that's been chilled. Make sure to pour in more milk than you are really going to drink. For instance, if you're making an eight-ounce cappuccino you'll want 10 to 12 ounces of milk.
- A chilled pitcher helps make the milk steam longer.
- Before putting the wand in the pitcher turn it on for a brief time and clean out any water that might be in the wand. Once it steams a bit then turn it off and put it in the pitcher with milk. Turn back on and tilt the pitcher at a slight angle so the milk will swirl and heat. If you've never steamed milk before clip a thermometer inside of the pitcher this way you can keep track of the milk as it heats. It's important to note that milk continues to heat up even after you've stopped the steaming.
- Occasionally you should tilt the wand close to the top of the milk. This helps add air to the milk and this makes the foam. Do this only for a few seconds. Once the milk reaches 150 to 160° F turn the wand off.

No Wand with Espresso Machine or Other Espresso Source?
- If you don't have a fancy steam wand you can froth milk another way you can try warming your milk in your microwave. Take a small mason jar with a lid and fill it at least half full, put the lid on and then shake it for up to a minute and then remove the lid and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Don't want to use the microwave? Then you can warm the milk on the stove and use a handheld wire whisk to make your foam. While the milk is heating whisk until you get the amount of foam you want.

How to Make Cappuccino – Putting it All Together
- Remove large bubbles by gently tapping the container of steamed milk on your counter. Then swirl the container a little to keep the milk and foam from separating before pouring it.
- Pour your freshly made espresso into your cup. Consider warming your cup before doing so. This helps keep your beverage warmer for a little longer.
- Hold your cup of espresso in one hand and tilt it to the side and slowly pour your steamed milk into the middle of the espresso. As your cup fills up very gradually move the cup. You want it level and then pour a little faster to get the foam on top of the beverage.
- Serve your cappuccino right away.

Has anyone been induced with cervidil? How was it?
Re: Cervidil
I have with my DS1. I was dilated to a 2 when I got to the hospital. I went in at 6pm and had it started by 8pm. My water broke at 11pm and that all I needed. Make sure that if your water breaks they take it out, otherwise the contractions get really bad.
Re: Cervidil
If that's the one on a string then it's awesome.
Re: Cervidil
Re: Cervidil
It worked, lol. Cervidil is a pre-induction drug. It ripens your cervix but it also brings on regular contractions. I liked it more than the pill they place on your cervix because it meant fewer checks and less irritation. My contractions got strong but I could manage them without pain killers. When the pitocin came that was a different story.

Spanish Hills Las Vegas was the first community I lived in when moving from the mid west. At the time we lived just down the street from the world famous boxer and tennis superstars. Positioned just off of the 215 on West Tropicana Ave. Spanish Hills Las Vegas is a Custom Home community with easy access to The Strip or Summerlin. The tiered road plan in the community allows for elevated views of the Las Vegas Strip and surrounding city. These unobstructed views on the high lots are truly priceless yet some owners ready to sell start at about $2,000,000. Spanish Hills has the most superior views in Las Vegas. Spanish Hills Las Vegas offers a smaller community feel filled with Luxury Homes Las Vegas in a fantastic location.

The expansion of U.S. territory by international treaty dates back to the earliest years of our republic.
America now has an opportunity for another great expansion of national sovereignty, in this case over the extended continental shelf, but only if the Senate approves the Law of the Sea Treaty.
The secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff joined business leaders and national security experts to publicly call for the U.S. Senate to approve the Law of the Sea Treaty. The speakers represented a broad, diverse group of leaders and experts who understand why approval is imperative to expand U.S. territory beneath the oceans, protect vital national security interests, develop new commercial interests and create jobs.
By approving the treaty, to which 161 nations are already party, the Senate would secure exclusive American access to the full U.S. extended continental shelf. This would mean, for example, a 600-mile extension beyond the coast of Alaska — three times the current internationally recognized 200-mile limit — securing for America a seabed area the size of California that contains enormous natural wealth, including abundant oil and natural gas resources and extensive mineral deposits, particularly vital rare earth minerals used in advanced technology products.
Further, the United States would gain a permanent seat — and a permanent veto — on the international body that regulates access to ocean mineral resources in international waters. We need our government actively involved in this body to defend U.S. claims and interests. Failure to approve the treaty would pose a strategic commercial and security disadvantage for the nation.
Senate approval would also assure U.S. armed forces the legal right to move through and over the world's oceans (including hot spots like the South China Sea and the Strait of Hormuz), and give the United States access to an internationally recognized system for resolving commercial disputes in foreign waters while protecting America's exclusive right to address military disputes directly and on its own terms.
Ratification would give America a firmer hand in dealing with the risks of Cuba's proposed effort to drill for oil off of Florida and Iran's threats to peaceful transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
For America's interests, we ask senators to give advice and consent to the Law of the Sea Treaty.

Make Time for Some Alone Time
If you want keep your lady hungry, make her miss you a little. We're not advocating ignoring her text messages to the point she thinks you've actually disappeared, but not being available because you're out having a life is a good thing.
You should pursue what makes you, well, you, and with a pre-relationship vigor. Whatever your passion might be, even if it's something you can't share with her, invest time and energy in it. A guy who has his own thing going on is hot. That's what attracted her to you in the first place. Maintain that, and you'll be sure to keep her attention. And while you're away, she'll remember what it's like to miss you. Consider your romance reignited.

KATY Perry, Kate Upton and Vanessa Paradis were among the front-row guests as Miranda Kerr and Cara Delevingne strutted down the catwalk for Chanel at Paris Fashion Week.
With flipped-out short wigs and brightly coloured eye makeup, Kerr and Delevingne showed off the latest Chanel designs, featuring a range of colours and the signature Chanel fabric.
Singer and Ray-Z protege Rita Ora and The Beach's French actor Virginie Ledoyen also turned out to support Chanel's designer Karl Lagerfeld at the 2014 Spring/Summer show.
Lagerfeld is a man of many talents: Not only is he Chanel's lauded designer, but also an industrious artist, a sensitive colorist and a gallery curator.
With a snap of his black-gloved finger, curator Lagerfeld transformed the vast interior of Paris' Grand Palais into his very own gallery space.
Colourful oil paintings lined the walls, one featuring an abstract rendering of "Chanel No. 5.'' A whole host of curious art objects scattered the runway - like a giant-sized handbag or a surreal one-metre perfume bottle made of marble that seemed to sink into the floor.
"It's like the days of Andy Warhol,'' Lagerfeld said backstage, raising the age-old philosophical question: is fashion art?
The question was answered here in a painterly clothes palette of some 150 different colours. There was a series of strong, colourful brush-stroke patterns on flowing and fitted dresses in dark to light hues.
Then there was the large "portfolio'' bags, the painted Chanel logos on handbags, and a rucksack with large wooden brushes poking out.
Although Lagerfeld doesn't often use much colour in his Chanel shows, here he reminded guests what a talented colourist he really is by using 89 tonal shades of purple, blue, pink, red, gray, black and white.
Perhaps channeling Chanel's acclaimed Arts and Crafts show in Edinburgh last December, Lagerfeld used the black-and-white spats of Scottish pipers to inspire great stocking shoes that looked like a thick sock that went to mid-calf.
Elsewhere, he crossed traditional Chanel skirt suits with a frayed tartan pattern in cyclamen pink and black, and many of the looks sported cape silhouettes as worn by pipers.
Even the diagonal crossover of tartan fabric that Scots band across their chests was evoked when Lagerfeld dropped the collar off one shoulder but rendered it in contemporary lines of diffused color.
Where does the 79-year-old find the energy to produce such new ideas season upon season?
"For me, I like this kind of life: living in evolution and in the inventive spirit all the time,'' explained the designer. "For me, it it's like breathing.''

Resource Limits Unix (ulimit): The concept of resource limiting in Unix defines the way resources are set for a process. These resources are allocated for every user by the root or super user. We know that resources basically mean the memory,clock speed,time and stack for a process. It is important to note that the resources are set per user but they apply to per process. To wave off the fog of confusion consider this example.
Consider a web server of 16G memory which provides memory resources to all the process its sub users handle. Take a user "joe" who is allocated 8G of memory. If the user runs a process of 8G the server provides the required memory as the size can be complied by the server. The user runs another process simultaneously which requires a memory resource say 10 GB. Though the second process surpasses the memory deemed for the user , the process continues.
- 1 Ulimit command are used with various options and are as follows (for the lazier ones I have made it crisp)
- 2 Create file systems with large file support ulimit
Resource Limits Unix on ulimit command
On UNIX systems, the ulimit command controls the limits on system resource, such as process data size, process virtual memory, and process file size. Specifically:
- On Solaris systems, by default, the root user has unlimited access to these resources (for example, unlimited).
- On AIX, some limits might apply to the root user.
However there occurs a lag due to the overwhelming process size leading affecting the clock cycle. This allows parallel processing at the cost of CPU delay. Resource limiting is implemented using ulimit command. The ulimit command allows manipulation of data size, stack size, process virtual memory and process file size etc.
Solaris systems provide unlimited memory access to the root user by default. Other AIX systems lay certain limitations to the root user.

Ulimit command are used with various options and are as follows (for the lazier ones I have made it crisp)
#ulimit -Ha Displays hard source limits.
#ulimit -Sa displays soft source limits.
#ulimit -d displays data memory
#ulimit -m displays virtual memory size
Here the hard source limits mean the the highest limit or the upper bound you can set for the user. The soft source limits give the lower limit for the resource. The soft source cannot be higher than the hard source limit.
gives unlimited resources to the data and virtual memory
#ulimit -f increases file size limit
fsize -1 gives unlimited access to the file size
Create file systems with large file support ulimit
The standard file system on AIX has a 2 GB file size limit, regardless of the ulimit setting. One way to enable files larger than the 2 GB limit is to create the file system with the Large File Enabled option. This option can be found through the Add a Journaled File System option of the smit menu. Refer to here to enable this option.
Edit/Change the Ulimit Values for uid:
- Edit the limits file under /etc/security/limits (takes effect after reboot)

Grenci, Anosike selected to MAAC all-star teams
Siena senior captains Lily Grenci and O.D. Anosike were named to their respective Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference basketball all-star teams Monday.
Grenci was named to the women's first team and is eligible to be named the MAAC Player of the Year Thursday, while Anosike was a men's second-team selection.
With Anosike being named to the second team, Siena's streak of seven straight years with at least one first-team selection came to an end. The streak marked the second longest in MAAC history, trailing only LaSalle, which once boasted a first-team All-MAAC selection for eight straight years.
Grenci, who was named to the first-team for the second consecutive year, joins Val Higgins (1990-91), Liz Lops (1993-94), Kim Colunio (1994-95), Melanie Halker (1997-99), Gunta Basko (2001-02) and Laura Menty (2007-08) as multiple first-team selections in Saints history.
Grenci was joined on the first team by Canisius' Ashley Durham, Iona's Damika Martinez, Niagara's Lauren Gatto and Rider's MyNeshia McKenzie. One of these five players will be named the Pepsi Max MAAC Player of the Year.
The announcement of both the men's and women's Players of the Year, Rookies of the Year, Defensive Players of the Year, Sixth Players of the Year and Coaches of the Year will be made during the postseason awards ceremony Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.
A first-team selection last year after becoming the first player in conference history to lead the country in rebounding, Anosike currently ranks second in the nation in rebounding (11.4) and sixth in double-doubles with 16. The first player in program history to be named a candidate for the prestigious Senior CLASS Award, Anosike is averaging 12.9 points and ranks fifth in the MAAC in field-goal percentage (49.8 percent).
Anosike enters the MAAC championships ranked second in program history with 1,054 career rebounds and 26th in scoring with 1,222 points. His rebounding total is fifth best in league history, and he is one of just nine MAAC players to have 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds.
Like Anosike, Grenci was also the first student athlete in Siena women's history to be named one of just 30 candidates nationally for the Senior CLASS Award last fall. She ranks second in the MAAC in scoring (15.4), third in rebounding (9.4) and 10th in steals (1.7).
Grenci, who on Friday became the 25th Siena women's player to eclipse the 1,000 career-point plateau, stands fifth in career free throws made (344) and 19th in rebounding (603).
The Siena men are the No. 9 seed and will take on eighth-seeded Marist Friday night at 7:30 p.m. in the first round of the MAAC tournament at the MassMutual Center. The women are the No. 6 seed, and take on third-seeded Fairfield Friday at 11:30 a.m. in the quarterfinals.

Barry Moves Forward on Affordable Housing
April 12, 2016 by Andy Spears
Filed under Economic Justice, Issues, Recent Blog Posts
Despite efforts in the General Assembly led by Franklin Rep. Glen Casada to thwart affordable housing initiatives in Tennessee's cities, Nashville Mayor Megan Barry is moving forward with a significant investment in an affordable housing plan.
The Tennessean reports:
Mayor Megan Barry on Monday pledged $10 million to boost affordable housing in Nashville, a jolt that would mark Metro's largest one-time infusion of local dollars for the effort.
Her administration also launched an effort to more aggressively target vacant properties owned by Metro government for new affordable housing projects.
Barry said:
"As Nashville continues to grow, we have to ensure that all of our residents benefit from our city's prosperity," Barry said at a news conference with affordable housing advocates and council members. "And that means making sure that they have access to affordable housing options.
"My priority is to increase housing options for existing and future residents of Davidson County as quickly as possible," she said. "We know that government can't do it alone. It's going to take partnerships in collaboration."

When I began applying to colleges, the very first thing my guidance counselor and teachers told me was to make sure my Facebook was clear of anything that the admittance team might find questionable. That included things like pictures with those infamous red solo cups (even if they were only filled with Diet Coke), profanity, and pretty much anything that made one seem like a less than stellar addition to their school. One thing that my guidance counselor didn't suggest? Amping up the awesome on my Facebook profile just in case they did take a look. Now, new research is suggesting that social media users start doing just that in order score jobs.
According to the Daily Mail, new research from the charity organization Brathay Trust suggests that people aren't taking advantage of all of the positive benefits of social media when it comes to their job hunt. Since employers are now more likely to check in on their potential employees life online, it's wise to use these online profiles to show off things that would impress employers, like a new class one is taking or a volunteer program they are involved with. "Soft skills" like this are particularly important to note because they may not come up as much on traditional resumes or in interviews.
With all of the information that we willingly put online, it's good to know that some of it can ultimately benefit us. If you're job hunting this summer, why not throw a few pics of you working at the animal shelter or coaching a little league team on your Facebook profile? You never know who might be looking... and you could win out big in the end.

Dan and JD Present this Mighty Mighty Giveaway!
Last month we were on vacation, staying at my parent's house, aka Nana and Granddaddy. Nana's table requires a tablecloth. Not a big deal, right?
Not unless the Dan Man is eating at that table. In his defense, he probably wasn't the only one; it just seemed like it was usually him.
Poor Nana. I am not even kidding when I tell you that Dan was spilling drinks about three times a day. I went to the store and bought Nana more tablecloths.
Then lo and behold, I got this email. Blogging is the coolest job ever. People are always asking to send me free stuff to review. I only accept the ones that I truly believe will help my family and my readers.
This company said they have a mug that won't tip over. It's not a sippy cup. It's a coffee mug, a grown up coffee mug that will not tip over, unless you punch it hard, to purposefully tip it over.
I couldn't believe my luck. "Yes! Send me this thing right away!"
When I returned home from vacation, the mug was waiting for me. I get the best mail!
I picked this color because I feel like I deserve to own extra girly things, living in a house full of males. It is primarily my cup, after all.
Daniel asked me if he could drink out of it. Oh, wow. This is going even better than planned! "Absolutely, Dan!!!"
I watched eagerly to see if he could find a way to spill it. If anyone can, it's him.
The older boys were fascinated with it too.
"Wow. How does it do this? Is there a magnet in there? It's like it has super gravity. I'm gonna show this to my friends," and they did!
It is really neat. You see that bottom part? It is rooted to the ground, but no, it's not a suction cup on bottom. I have no idea how this thing works, but it does work.
We all figured out very quickly that you have to lift straight up to pick it up, but it's not heavy at all. Actually, it's become quite the party trick at our house.
But here's the real test. Guess who wanted a turn to use it…..the littlest man….
Nope. He didn't tip it over.
I know this probably isn't the intended use of the Mighty Mug, but when you have several kids you use things in unique ways.
Nana, you wanted a good birthday gift idea for Alan. Well, he wants a manly colored one to take to work.
My one big tip: I was going to include an Amazon affiliate link to this product, but I won't do it because Amazon charges $27.99. If you buy this straight from themightymug.com, it's only $19.99. Other styles vary in price. The teal version also comes in many different colors. It's the "Mighty Mug Go". Shipping is free from themightymug.com, if you purchase at least $30 worth of products. (If you use Amazon Prime, but only if you are only buying one mug, it may even out since you don't pay shipping.)
Spill proof matters at our house. Two thumbs up here!

Yellow jackets are social wasps with yellow and black striped bodies. These insects prefer building underground nests in abandoned burrows or other soil cavities. Although considered beneficial because they prey on numerous pest insects, yellow jackets quickly turn into stinging nuisances when they build colonies containing 1,500 to 15,000 insects in flower beds. You can eliminate yellow jackets quickly so you keep the area safe for you and your family.
1 Find the entry point to the yellow jacket nest during the day when the insects are most active by following one as it flies into the nest. Yellow jackets leave and return to nests several times a day, so carefully follow one and note the location so you can return after dark.
2 Put on protective clothing, such as thick gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, pants and goggles or other protective eyewear. Wear a bee veil and coveralls that tie at the ankles and wrists for added protection. The yellow jackets will violently attack anyone who disturbs their nest, so you need to be completely covered.
3 Place a lantern or flashlight on one side of the entrance hole. Covering the light with red cellophane helps avoid disturbing the pests.
4 Stand about 20 feet away from the nest and spray an aerosol insecticide specifically labeled for yellow jacket control. Concentrate on squirting the stream of insecticide directly into the nest opening.
5 Cover the entry point carefully by shoveling a pile of moist soil over the hole.
6 Inspect the treated flower bed the following day for yellow jacket activity. Repeat applications as directed on the product's label until you kill the entire colony.
Items you will need
- Thick gloves
- Long-sleeved shirt
- Pants
- Goggles or other protective eyewear
- Bee veil (optional)
- Coveralls (optional)
- Lantern or flashlight
- Red cellophane (optional)
- Aerosol insecticide
- Shovel
- When you spot yellow jackets near your flower bed, remain calm and slowly walk away. Don't run or make sudden moves because this can prompt the insects to sting.
- Yellow jackets like sugar, so avoid hanging hummingbird feeders near your flower beds.
- As always, follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and avoid using insecticidal products around children and pets. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid handling any type of chemical pesticide.
- Never pour petroleum products into underground yellow jacket nests. That is a dangerous and environmentally harmful practice.
- Avoid squashing yellow jackets because they release an alarm pheromone that signals the others to attack.

It's been an up and down summer for Arsenal fans. Arsenal has just signed Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud but could be losing captain Robin Van Persie. After a rough start to the Premier League last season, the Gunners will be looking to get off to a better start this season and will need the two new signings to produce goals. With the new season, Arsenal will be wearing a new Nike Arsenal home jersey and it looks great.
Arsenal has a classic jersey design that is hard to change. They have red through the front with white on the sleeves. The teams new design keeps the red and white as with previous generations but Nike have added a red and blue stripe on each sleeve to give a little extra style. Personally, I think it looks great. Instead of just having the same old thing season after season, the addition of the stripes on the sleeves is subtle but gives some more style to these jerseys. Fly Emirates remains the team's sponsor and their logo is pressed on the center of the jersey with the Arsenal crest stitched on the left chest. Another nice subtle feature on this jersey is the AFC that is pressed on the back of the jersey so people can see where your loyalty stands as you are walking away.
This jersey is made out of 100 percent polyester and features Nike Dri-Fit. The combination of both provides you with a light jersey that will keep you dry and comfortable as you cheer Arsenal to victory. This jersey runs true to size, so you will not have to worry about sizing issues when ordering online.
The new Arsenal jersey looks great and is very comfortable. The blue and red stripes on the sleeves add some new style to a classic jersey design. Even if Arsenal are unable to keep Van Persie, Arsenal will be looking for a top finish and this is a great jersey to wear as you cheer your team on. These are currently available on SoccerPro.com, so head there today and pick one up.

Inside Todays Federal Hearing – Judges Challenge Opposition to Same-sex Marriage
May 13, 2014
Read More:
The second step in the challenge to Virginia's ban on same-sex marriage entered the Fourth District Federal Appeals Court today and the judges questions and comments could show a lean towards supporting marriage equality in the commonwealth.
The Honorable Roger L. Gregory, one of the three judges who heard the case, stood out as seemingly perturbed by comments diminishing the union between couples of the same-sex. When David Nimocks, lawyer for those supporting the ban, spoke about the difference between straight and homosexual child rearing, saying biological children were best raised by different sex parents, Judge Gregory repeatedly asked if parents of adopted children were any less important. Nimocks refused to answer repeatedly.
David B Oakley, the lawyer for the Norfolk County Clerk George Schaefer who denied the marriage license to Tim Bostic and Tony London, spoke first at todays hearing. To support the ban, he stressed several points, one of the most important being The precedent set by Baker V. Nelson, the 1970 case which hoped to allow same-sex marriages nationwide, but was denied a hearing by the Supreme court.
Oakley also stressed it was within the state's power to regulate marriage, and the people of Virginia made clear their stance on the issue when they voted to enact the amendment in 2006. The issue was left up to the voters and it was a "fundamental right" according to Oakley, when VA voters chose to define marriage as between one man and one woman.
Nimocks stressed the argument before the judges was a "great debate over the essence of marriage" and the state of Virginia, its voting population, and its elected officials had the right to dictate what marriage is. He said the US constitution does not force the state of Virginia to fall in line with what other states have done, and if Virginia were to recognize a same-sex marriage from California, it would "lay waste to public policy."
Theodore Olson, one of the lawyers for those against the ban, repeated much of what he said at the Norfolk hearing.
He stressed the current law singled out LGBTQ people as second class citizens, and being denied marriage keeps them from the thousands of benefits afforded to married straight couples. "Inheritance, parental rights, insurance benefits," he said. "All these things are withheld because of sexual orientation."
Stuart Raphael, the Solicitor General of Virginia, spoke on behalf of AG Mark Herring's office. "Virginia agrees with the plaintiffs [in ending the ban]" he said before stressing the ban was unconstitutional under the 14th amendment which promises equal protection under the law.
While AG Herring said in a post-hearing press conference it's never a good idea to take comments or questions from a judge as a sign of how they will rule, questions and comments from Judge Gregory were noticeably targeted at those who supported the ban.
Gregory said prisoners can be married, but someones sexual orientation can stop them from receiving the same privilege.
Gregory also seemed to mock the theory that marriage exists as a means for procreation. "People are baby-makers?" he asked and then called the theory "totalitarian" and said procreation is not in the constitution.
Finally Gregory asked those supporting the ban about the number of children waiting to be adopted and it was fair to deny same-sex parents the chance to take them in to a family. "Why does Virginia want to rip that away?"
A verdict from today's hearing is expected in the next few weeks, but, as Judge Niemeyer joked in the court room, the hearing today was a "way station up route 95″ as the case is sure to be put before the Supreme Court next spring.

"For behold, he who forms the mountains and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth— the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!"
Amos 4:13
It's the last unofficial day of Summer, and we are at the turn of another season! Before you know it, we will be putting away the shorts & sandals and pulling out the sweaters & boots! Here in Northeast Alabama, I love that we are able to experience four definite seasons! Although each one offers a different gift to our senses, Autumn remains my favorite! Life seems to slow down because of shorter sunny days that give way to crisp fall evenings. Have you stopped to notice how our Creator paints the bluest skies with puffy white clouds? Or how He brushes the leaves with shades of orange, gold, and red? Oh, how His glory is always on display!
The autumnal months are ones that we have made trips to places like Blackberry Farm nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains near Walland, Tennessee and Old Edwards Inn in Highlands, North Carolina. These are two of our special places to enjoy the beauty of God's creation with a respite from all the busyness of everyday living! We have also been privileged to visit the Colorado Rockies many times and last year we enjoyed the beauty of Montana's Bitterroot Valley at Triple Creek Ranch! These places have their own special beauty in different mountainous areas of the United States and invoke the warmth of a crackling fire, a steaming mug of hot chocolate, and a good book to read!
When Butch and I first bought our fifteen acres of land, we considered building a small log cabin to live in before building the home we are in now. We also considered buying a cabin in Mentone, AL a few years ago, but plans changed! Maybe by now, you are seeing that my idea of a perfect place to retire would be something like this: a cabin in the mountains with a clear, flowing stream, hardwood trees with beautiful fall foliage. The cabin would be rustic with a cozy stone fireplace, wide plank floors, large porches…oh, I could go on and on! But I think what draws me to the idea of a mountain cabin the most is the natural beauty all around and the calm life that go along with it!
Since I equate Fall with my dream cabin in the woods, I wanted to share one that matches my style! This mountain home that we are about to tour was constructed from two log cabins that dated to the turn of the 19th century! They were relocated from Tennessee to Cashiers, North Carolina. This dream log home was one of Charles Faudree's last projects before he passed away! You can see my earlier post on his work here: It's All In The Mix! I wouldn't have any trouble moving in! Let's take a look… A connecting hall links the two cabins. Butch loves hunting, so the white-tail deer mounts caught my eye and are a perfect welcome to this log cabin. The covey of quail patterned Scalamandre fabric on the antique chairs sets a theme for rustic, but elegant interiors. I have used this fabric for a client's home and it is always a classic, and one I never tire of! I am smitten by the laurel branch stair well in the living room! The hand-hewn log walls, wide plank floors, and botanical fabrics add to the cozy and casual feel of the home!Warm rust tones, woodsy greens, and autumn golds give the log cabin a sense of the fall season! The custom antler chandeliers mix beautifully with the more formal corner cabinets. The French chairs upholstered in plaid and leather complement the rustic dining table!
Rustic custom cabinets and antique treasures fill the kitchen! The kitchen has a French country farmhouse feel. The piece de resistance is the French butcher's shop table. Above the table is a collection of copper saucepans and Spode "woodland" plates! More "Woodland" transfer ware and silver serving pieces on the granite topped island!An antique French buffet with marble serves as a bar. Rose Cumming wallpaper in an "acorn" pattern adorns the wall! A pair of trumeau mirrors flank an oil painting over the bed in the master bedroom! Treasured antiques blend seamlessly with rough hewn logs and chinking! The plaid upholstered chair along with the window treatments work well with the antique French cabinet and starburst mirror! Antique blue-and-white plates and a gilded mirror hang on rough log walls above a painted chest
The outdoor living area with its stone fireplace, antler chandelier, and laurel branch railings provides a sanctuary for quiet dinners or entertaining a crowd! The front porch looks out on the lake with a custom swing covered in burlap and a pair of red rattan chairs! What a peaceful spot for reading!

An even more sinister trend is developing in the churches of Christendom.
Here too we see lawlessness being preached and practised. Millions
of ministers and their congregations are now turning their backs on the
law of God, condoning behaviour which only a few decades ago would have
been openly condemned from the pulpit. This is a serious trend: for
the church is supposed to teach law and order. Yet today we see prominent
church leaders openly attacking the commandments of the Almighty God. On TV,
in the press, on radio and now on the Internet, self-appointed prophets,
prelates and priests openly admit to breaking divine commandments - held
sacred since time began. Shocking sexual misbehaviour is now openly flaunted
as so-called 'new light,' 'new wine' and
'liberating faith'' mock the sacred commandments of
the Almighty God! Millions of Christians believe that they are
'ABOVE THE LAW!' misunderstanding the Apostle
Paul's words when he wrote:
Strange as it may seem, this upsurge in immorality and lawlessness is not new.
It has all happened before. What is new is the world-wide publicity lawless
churchmen receive. Never a week passes but another 'spiritual
outlaw' is seen in the pulpit or on TV decrying the commandments of
God. The church is in the grip of a 'lawless depression'
where blatant sin is rampant. Speaking many centuries ago the Almighty said this
about the disregard for His law by professed spiritual leaders.
|Isaiah 24:
|5: "The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6: Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left."
|Zephaniah 3:
|4: "Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law."
Does it really matter how people behave in private or public? Do God's laws still exist and are we expected to obey them? Or are Yahweh's commandments obsolete, fulfilled and done away with by the death of His Son Jesus Christ? Millions of Christians would answer:
Is this the case? Does being 'under grace' cancel the need to obey
the ten commandments?
This is a vital question, the answers to which will determine how you behave and how you will stand on the fast-approaching Day of Judgment. For make no mistake, according to Jesus Christ you will have to answer for all your actions, yes for every idle word, on that awesome day. Ignorance will be no excuse; certainly not after you've read this article.
|Matthew 12:
|36: "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."
|Revelation 20:
|12: "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
Yes, moral laws are absolutely necessary? Every Christian, indeed every
believer of all the major religions on earth, will agree that society must have
moral standards if we are to avoid anarchy. But who defines moral standards?
Certainly we humans cannot. The answer is: God alone has the authority to define
moral standards; because He created us. Where does He define moral standards?
The answer is He defines moral standards in His law. In other words, Yahweh's
law, as recorded in the Bible, identifies the moral standards He wants humanity
to live by. If Yahweh's law didn't exist no one would know right from wrong.
The Bible says:
|1 John 3:
|4: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."
|Romans 7:
|7: "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet."
|Galatians 3:
|24: "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith."
|Romans 7:
|12: "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good..."
|14: "For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin."
|Psalm 19:
|7: "The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8: The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes."
The high level requirements of the sacrificial laws, however, are eternal.
They still apply. Let me further explain this little known truth. When a
person sins in this day and age he/she must still come to the Almighty with
the blood of a sacrifice: for 'without blood there is no forgiveness
of sin.' This mandatory parameter (that without blood there can be
no forgiveness) is the very reason why those commandments concerning animal
sacrifices were given. They were given to teach mankind that the penalty for
sin is death; and that forgiveness is only possible if the sinner comes to
God with the blood of a substitute. Prior to the Saviour's death on Calvary
literal lambs, goats and bulls were slaughtered to prefigure the real substitute -
Jesus Christ. Those practical lessons mean that if a repentant sinner wants
forgiveness from sin, he/she must approach the Almighty with the blood of a
sacrifice. In this dispensation (since the Saviour's death on Calvary) all we
need to obtain forgiveness is faith in the blood of the Lamb of God.
In other words before you can find forgiveness from sin, you need faith in
the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus Christ. You cannot receive
remission (forgiveness, pardon, acquittal, absolution) for your sins in
any other way! This is what the Bible teaches. In short, the high-level
reality of the law on sacrifices (that we need faith in the blood of the Messiah
before forgiveness is possible) still exists. It hasn't been done away with!
|Hebrews 9:
|22: "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
|Colossians 1:
|14: "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"
|Psalm 111:
|7: "The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8: They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness."
I repeat, the new covenant believer does not need to sacrifice a lamb, a goat or a bull to gain forgiveness. All he is required to do is to confess his/her sins to God and ask forgiveness in His Son's name. The blood of Yeshua the Messiah (the only begotten Son of God) cleanses us from sin. But, and here is the point I am making, the law that states that forgiveness is not possible without blood, still stands. It is still in force. It is eternal and it applies today. If you want forgiveness now, you must still go to God the Father with faith in the blood of the substitute - Jesus Christ the Son. See Animal Sacrifices for more information on sacrificial laws.
|Psalm 111:
|7: "The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8: They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness."
|Matthew 5:
|17: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19: Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
When the Almighty writes His perfect law on the minds of His followers,
it will be for all time, never to be forgotten.
|Hebrews 8:
|10: "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:"
Solomon said
|Ecclesiastes 12:
|13: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
14: For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
Jesus said
|Matthew 19:
|17: "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

Johnny Hunt plans to launch a revolution today, intended to reverse shrinking church memberships, declining baptisms and a $30 million funding shortfall for missionaries in the Southern Baptist Convention.
Hunt, president of the nation's largest Protestant denomination, says to stop across-the-board deficits Baptists must baptize more converts and relax some historically rigid standards when it comes to worship. He will discuss his proposal at the group's annual meeting today and Wednesday at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.
