How do I place an order?
You may place an order three ways: (1) on our secure website www.shancakes.com/order-online, (2) in our retail store or (3) call us and speak with one of our sales associates at (978) 840-4343 during business hours.
What is included in the price of a decorated cake?
Along with your inscription, we offer standard decorations such as: roses, iced balloons, borders, other flowers, metallic ribbons, edible glitter and more. We also offer beautiful seasonal and holiday standard decorations. Upgraded decorations will be quoted to you upon ordering.
What if I want a certain TV show, movie, comic or other copyrighted character on my cake that is not on shancakes.com?
Shancakes upholds to all copyright regulations. We have legal access to a larger variety of figurines and edible images but we cannot draw or recreate characters or their likeness on our baked goods. If your character is not online please call in for possible availability.
Can you print a photograph on an edible sugar sheet for my cake?
Yes. Send in your picture to email@example.com or bring in a hard copy, wallet size or larger, to be scanned in and returned with your order. If emailing, please make sure your picture is in JPEG format and high resolution. Photos downloaded from the internet do not make ideal prints because of their low resolution. Please note that the size of the edible image on a cake is determined by the space available with decoration. Largest size of edible image is 8*x10*.
Can you do 1/2 and 1/2 flavored cakes?
Yes. For a $2 fee we will split your order into two different recipes. We can make a 1/2 sheet or full sheet cake with two flavors.
Should I refrigerate my cake?
We use real buttercream on our cakes. It's always recommended you keep your cake cool to prevent sagging or melting in your vehicle or home.
Does Shancakes sell candles and cards?
Yes. We sell a variety of candles and beautifully handcrafted cards from contemporary to traditional. Single candles are free of charge, just ask!
Will my cake look like the photo online made from another bakery?
Our cakes are hand decorated may vary slightly from sample pictures depending on the personal technique of the Cake Decorator that customizes your cake. Decoration may also vary from the size and shape of your cake. Since we are not the original creators of the cake you found online, we might not know what tools/techniques or materials they used for their design. We will do our best to recreate the image using our creative and artistic talents.
Can my cake be made entirely of black, blue or dark color?
Dark colors of icing such as red, black, royal or navy blue, etc. may temporarily stain your mouth and could permanently stain clothes, carpeting and furniture. Dark icing may also have a bitter taste due to the amount of dye used to make the vivid color. We may make recommendations that will best suit your needs.
Why do "Sculpted" and "Cut-Out"cakes only come with buttercream for a filling?
When sculpting or cutting out a cake it would be very difficult to keep a fruit type of filling from coming out the sides of sculpted cake. Therefore, by using only buttercream as a filling it allows us to create different types and sizes of sculpts and allow the cake to keep its shape without falling.
How far in advance do I need to place my order?
Depending on the type of order you are placing, we require a minimum 48-72 hour notice. It is always best to place your order as early as possible to ensure that we will be able to accommodate your needs. Many times we are booked out completely on Fridays and Saturdays, our busiest days, and may not be able to accept any more last minute orders.
Do I need an appointment to come in for a highly decorated cake?
You will need to make an appointment to consult with us for most highly decorated cakes. It takes time to discuss details, go over photos and options, we will ensure that we will have enough staff to cover the floor while a manager sits with you exclusively to discuss your cake. We can also do consults over the phone or email.
Do you ship cakes?
We cannot ship cakes at this time. We tried in the past but carriers such as UPS, USPS and FedEx cannot guarantee that the boxes they ship will be cared for and not tipped, thrown or destroyed upon delivery. We can ship other items easily such as cookies, brownies, cake pops, biscotti, scones, mini pies, cake cups, chocolate meatballs and more!
What if someone in my party has food allergies?
Please notify us if your order needs to be Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Sugar-free, Soy-free, Egg-free or Nut-free. We are Allergan Certified and can accommodate your custom order for a small additional fee.
What if I need to cancel my order?
There is a window of time you can cancel your order without penalty, please visit our Policy page here for more details. The policy page also details what to do in the event you are not happy with your cake or there is an error or problem.
Do you offer gift certificates?
We sell gift certificates in ANY denomination and can mail a certificate anywhere. We can accept your cash or credit for the gift certificates in person or over the phone.
Do we offer internships/externships and are you hiring?
For information on internships/externships or cake decorating positions please email your resume to email@example.com.
Do you cater?
We can cater any event for desserts. We offer platters of all kinds, cookies, cannoli, brownies, Madeleines, Macaroons, strudel, etc. We can also do cupcake tiers, Petit Fours, mini whoopie pies and anything off our online menu or to your suggestion according to your budget and head count. We will deliver and set up at your location. For pricing inquiries please call or email us. Catered orders $250+ will come with free delivery.
Do you offer Delivery for everything?
Yes. Delivery to Leominster for orders $50 and under is just $5. We deliver to a 50 mile radius for all orders including wedding cakes. Please inquire within on an exact price.
Do you have a minimum order for custom cupcakes?
You are welcome to pick out as many cupcakes from our retail display case as you wish for a variety from our fresh selections of the day. If you wish to order from our 35+ flavor list the minimum is one flavor per dozen as we make every batch of cupcakes fresh just for you. Every recipe is custom.
Feel free to check out the new SELF SERVE Cupcake Dessert Bar to fill, frost and top your own cupcakes with a choice of 16 toppings!
Do you have cakes on hand?
Our cakes are fresh made to order at this time, a policy that we take great pride in so we can serve you the freshest cakes, cupcakes and pastries in town. If you need a cake last minute, call us at (978) 840-4343 and ask if we can get one done for you asap that day. Most likely we can!
If your production slots are full, can you make an exception for our order because we just need a small cake?
Please understand the level of effort needed to make a small 6″ cake is the same level of effort needed to make you a larger cake. In some cases it would take more effort because we have to modify our recipe to the smaller quantity. Rush orders if we can accomodate them, will be an additional $5 to $10.
What are your icings like?
We make an amazing unique American buttercream. All of our buttercreams are made with real butter and are all-natural and trans-fat free. We also use a high-quality home-made fondant for our covered cakes. We also offer a Italian Meringue Buttercream that we call "Dutch Creme" which is also fabulous!
Why did you assign me a scheduled pickup time for my order?
If you scheduled a noon pickup and show up at 10 am for your cake, we may still be working on your cake's design. All orders are fresh made to order as late as possible to insure 100% freshness. We do not make your cake days ahead like most bakeries and let them sit in a cooler. This makes us unique and people appreciate it! If you need to pick up your cake earlier just call us to assure it might already be done.
Can I save on a delivery fee and pick up my own wedding cake?
Yes. You can pick up ANY orders of yours without an additional fee but we cannot guarantee your cake once it leaves the shop if we do not deliver it for you. The way you transport your cake, how level the surface was and temperature of your vehicle is unknown to us so any damage to your cake once it's signed out is your liability. We require a two to three hour window for all wedding cake deliveries.
Are your cakes frozen?
No! Our cakes are made fresh. Every batch of buttercream is made with a small Kitchenaid mixer to insure freshness and quality. Only custom sculpted cakes will be frozen ahead of time and you will be notified in this event, in order to shave and cut a certain dimension to your cake or topsy turvy.
Do you need a deposit to book my order?
All new customers who are not in our database pay a deposit of 50% up front in order to place your order. All wedding orders require a 50% deposit in order to save the date and book the order.
Why is there a cake tasting fee?
We reserve an hour time slot just for you and your loved one in order to bake you your cake samples that you've picked. Extra staff will be on hand at the store in order to free the owner or manager up for your appointment so they may sit with you to discuss your needs. The fee insures you are going to show up for the consultation. The $20 tasting fee is put towards your order when you book your wedding so the tasting is free!

1 Psychic Tarot Reading by Melanie Jade Rummel Copyright 2009 Melanie Jade Rummel
2 Hello! Welcome to my e-course on how to read tarot cards psychically. As I began studying tarot, consulting every resource I could find, my Spirit Guides began teaching me the tarot during my meditations. Rather than just learning a set definition for each card, my guides encouraged me to trust my own intuitive insights to read the cards. This course covers everything from choosing your first deck to intuitively interpreting the cards. I encourage you to go beyond book definitions and traditional spreads and learn to focus on your own unique insights and intuition. Wishing you years of tarot fun and insight, Melanie Jade Rummel
3 Everyone is Psychic Everyone has the ability to recognize and use their psychic abilities. Some people hone their abilities and become recognized as psychics, but we all have this ability. To be psychic means to be able to perceive that which is beyond the physical. If you're reading this, you probably realize that we are much more than our physical bodies. I believe we are all spiritual beings in a physical body, and therefore we can perceive things of a spiritual nature.
4 Awareness of Your Psychic Abilities There are many ways to become aware of and strengthen your psychic abilities. Here are a few of my favorites: Meditation Meditation is essential to psychic development. There are many different types of meditation. You can find many meditation resources on my website. Staying in the Present Sometimes, we can be so caught up in our thoughts that we miss what is going on in the present moment. To be open and receive psychic insights, we must "live in the now." continued...
5 Keep a Journal I suggest writing down your psychic experiences. Sometimes we disregard our insights because they feel (and are) so natural. When we write them down and look over them at a later time, we are better able to appreciate the experiences, recognize how we receive information, and learn that our insights are accurate. Research Every time you learn more about tarot, spirit guides, being psychic, or any other intuitive topic, your awareness expands. It's like telling the Universe and yourself that you are ready and open to these experiences. The more open you are, the more you will experience.
6 How do tarot cards work? Tarot cards are simply cards with pictures on them. That's it. They have no magic or mysticism unto themselves. The pictures in the cards trigger the part of our mind and spirit that is connected to Universal Consciousness. By paying attention to what stands out to us in the cards and what it means to us intuitively, as well as our extrasensory perceptions, we gain insight into our questions. Tarot cards are great tools for us to use to increase our psychic awareness in general, as well.
7 Choosing Your Deck If you don't already have a deck, there are many great websites and stores with hundreds of options for you to choose from. You can even make your own cards! Here are my recommendations for choosing a deck: Choose a deck that is both appealing and inspiring. lists hundreds of decks, along with images of the cards and reviews. Choose a deck that has meaningful images on the numbered cards. On the three of cups card, for example, some decks show three cups whereas other decks show three women dancing, celebrating, and toasting each other. I recommend chosing the latter style of deck. Choose a fun bag or box to keep your cards in. It's like opening a present every time you use them.
8 Exploring Your Deck First, figure out what the cards mean to you. Write down any insights or feelings you get for each card. You can also meditate and ask your guides to tell you what a certain card means or hold the intention that you will receive insight about the card during the day. Then, you can check other resources for more ideas. As you read other people's ideas of what the cards mean, you may find that you disagree with some of them. Always follow your intuition and trust yourself. Look for the positive message in each card, especially in cards that initially don't feel positive. From a higher perspective, everything happens for a positive reason.
9 Preparing for a Reading Before I do a reading, I take several deep, slow breaths until I feel peaceful and centered. I find that I can tap into my intuition more easily and accurately when I do this. I also ask my Spirit Guides to help me read objectively and to help me see the beautiful messages they have for me. If I'm feeling emotional about the subject I'm seeking information about, I meditate until I feel more objective and open to seeing the truth of the situation. Usually it helps to remind myself that everything happens for a positive reason.
10 Reading the Cards It's great to have a general idea of what the cards mean. However, I do not rely on those definitions when doing a reading. Instead, as each card is laid out, I pay attention to what catches my eye and how I feel as I see the cards. Sometimes I will get images, an overall sense of the situation, or hear meaningful sounds in my mind. This is reading the cards psychically. One thing that helps is to just start talking. Say whatever comes to your mind and create a story. You may feel like you are making it up, and that's okay. Just do it. As you read for yourself and others, you will begin to feel more comfortable and confident that your insights are accurate.
11 Using Spreads Many tarot readers use spreads, arrangements of cards with a meaning assigned to each placement. There are many traditional spreads you can use, like the Celtic Cross, the 3 card spread, and the Horseshoe. If the traditional meanings don't work for you, you can make up your own spread and/or ask your guides for their insight. If you don't want to use a spread, you can ask a series of questions about what you are seeking insight about and draw as many cards as you want after each question.
12 If You're Stumped Are you really stumped, or is the insight you're getting not what you expected? Sometimes when we're looking for a specific answer, anything other than that seems confusing, even though the only block to our understanding is our attachment to our preconceived ideas. Another thing that can block insight is fear of being wrong. At some point we all have to decide that we care more about our psychic development than we do about being perfect. It's natural to feel hesitant when you're first learning. It will feel natural when it becomes a habit. Practice with your friends, say you're just developing your skills, and have fun.
13 Some other tips... Pretend you are the world's greatest tarot reader. You can even come up with a name for yourself. Totally get into character, and feel and believe that you have been doing this for eons and are Divinely inspired. Then, with confidence, read the cards. Meditate and ask your guides. My guides help me all the time with readings for myself. I have a tarot guide called Lola (she wasn't a showgirl), but many of my guides have helped me figure out what cards and spreads mean.
14 Keep in Mind Always make sure you leave the person you are reading cards for with a sense of hope, positive feelings, and an understanding that they have control over their future. Tarot cards show probabilities, not definite outcomes. Whatever you see reflects the current energy of the situation, but things can always change. Everyone has free will to choose new paths and new opportunities.
15 Common Questions Who shuffles? Is there a certain way to shuffle? Follow your own guidance on this. Everyone has their own way of doing things. My personal guidance has been to let the person I'm reading for shuffle the deck. If you're doing a reading for yourself, shuffle the cards in the way that most feels comfortable to you. How are cards chosen for the reading? This, again is up to you. Some readers fan out the cards and have the other person choose. Some readers have a specific way of cutting the deck and restacking it. Some people choose the cards at the top of the deck. Do what feels right for you. Many times, cards will fly out of the deck while shuffling. This is very obvious when it happens, and I believe they are pushed out by Spirit Guides for us to read. Can I do a reading for myself? Absolutely! I think this is a great way to begin, and I always do readings for myself. However, if you are not able to be objective, it might be more helpful to have someone else do a reading for you. One way to help you remain objective is to imagine that you are someone else (create a different tarot reader identity). Then, see the real you seated across from the tarot-reading you and do the reading. If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.
16 Additional Resources I hope this introduction to psychic tarot reading has helped you along your journey of psychic development. Tarot is just one of the many ways we can communicate with our Spirit Guides and get in touch with our intuition. When we follow our Divine guidance, creating the life of our dreams becomes much easier. Please visit my website for more articles and information about tarot, manifesting, and other inspiring topics. I wish you all the best on your magical journey of life!

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Refining Your Health Through Investments and other Health Management topics.
Did you ever ask a runner why he or she runs? There may be some vanity involved, but it's hard work, and it's hard to get up the next day and do it again. Yet, as one client confided: "My doctor says if I'm not moving I'm dying." Most runners, most folks who invest in their health, will tell you they do it as a long-term strategy for feeling better, performing better, having more energy for other life events, and pushing disease into the future.
You are not alone in considering your health as a fundamental to a wealthier life. By investing in your current and future health, you are "banking" that you are creating a better return on your investment. Of course, no one can see into the future. But you can "hedge your bets," "play the odds," or, in healthcare terms, "model the consequences" of your actions. When you create the financial model of investing now or investing later, you will discover that the odds are with you right now; it gets more expensive in the future to treat the condition or poor health behavior that you ignored today.

I don't keep up with mainstream literary fiction as much as I used to. But I do try to read one or two a year that has risen to the top of the zeitgeist wave. A Visit From the Goon Squad was absorbed through some form of cultural osmosis (perhaps an NPR Fresh Air interview with Egan; or rumors of an HBO spinoff series?)
Going in completely blind, I thought the book would be about totalitarian dictators, a heartfelt account of loss in some third world hell. Instead, the whole thing was a light, jaunty black comedy about aging and the rock music industry.
The book is composed of 13 loosely connected short stories, focusing on a cast of characters orbiting Bennie Salazar, a rock executive. The stories skip around in time and space: some are set in Africa in the 70s, California in the early 80s, New York in the modern day, even Arizona in the 2020s. We even get a short vignette of PR professional's trip to remake the image of a dictator: dressing Gaddafi in Gucci, so to speak.
The big gimmick of the book is a chapter (written by the precocious daughter of Sasha, Bennie's kleptomaniac assistant) composed in the form of a Power Point presentation. Instead of describing the nuanced relationships of her mother, father and brother, she illustrates them with big swooping arrows and Venn Diagrams.
The theme of the presentation is "Pauses in Rock Music". A few theories are presented. Pauses emphasize whatever rock musicianship that is to follow; pauses give the song a sort of jolting rhythm; pauses lengthen the song as a whole; pauses are the sign of a song writer void of ideas.
A standard literary critical analysis "trope" is to map this theme onto the scope of the book. All the big plot points of Bennie and friend's lives happen offscreen. The stories you read are essentially the pauses in between the big breaks, the platinum albums, the affairs, the divorces. Egan does this thing where we get a brief glimpse of a character (in their youth or whatever) and then jump ahead 50 years in the future, summing up the big events in their life in the span of a paragraph. This feels incredibly annoying, as though Egan is flaunting her omniscient narrator's power with all the dexterity of a vengeful teenage god.
But it fits into the thesis that the book is deliberately breaking down the tropes of plot, and narrative character arcs. "Novel" stuff. These are the kind of gimmicks that literary critics love and latch onto (thus the Pulitzer).
But from a pure novelistic standpoint, the book feels half baked, airy, unfinished. In the scope of the short stories, we meet mildly interesting characters. But those narrators never experience any change, any big epiphanies. They're simply disembodied voices. The thoughts that drift through their heads are usually along the lines of "how did I get so old?" or "where did my life go wrong?" Pretty clichéd stuff.
The moral vantage that Egan takes is pretty nihilistic: authenticity will die and get consumed by richer interests. People will get old and ugly. The vibrant luster of youth is a lie. Blah blah blah. And for a book about rock music, it's strangely devoid of any energy alluding to rock and roll.
It is true that mainstream rock is pretty much dead. Even cool indie bands have their catchy songs jingle-fied to sell cars and tacos.
In the end, one of Egan's characters says it best: "The answers were maddeningly absent – it was like trying to remember a song that you knew made you feel a certain way, without a title, artist, or even a few bars to bring it back." That's how the entire book feels – middlebrow rock-pop songs, half remembered, but mostly forgotten, fading into the background noise.

RALEIGH – United States Attorney Thomas G. Walker announced that today in federal court, Chief United States District Judge James C. Dever III sentenced DONALD Wayne MANGUM , 52, of Fuquay-Varina to 24 months imprisonment, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and ordered him to pay $101,675.00 in restitution.
MANGUM was named in an Indictment filed on October 24, 2013, charging him with Bankruptcy Fraud and Destruction, Alteration, and Falsification of Records. On December 16, 2013, MANGUM pled guilty to those charges.
According to the investigation, on February 28, 2011, MANGUM fraudulently filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition in the Eastern District of North Carolina, in the name of someone else in an effort to prevent the mortgage holder from foreclosing on his home. MANGUM failed to file a schedule of assets and liabilities or statement of financial affairs. The debt counseling statements, which were fraudulently filed under the penalty of perjury by MANGUM, were signed in the name of another.
Further, on June 10, 2011, MANGUM fraudulently filed a pro se Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition in the Eastern District of North Carolina, in the name of another. The debt counseling statement was fraudulently filed under the penalty of perjury by MANGUM.
MANGUM appeared at a Rule 2004 Examination in February, 2012, during which time he admitted to the fraudulent filings, and admitted to making misleading statements.
On June 12, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order directing that the two fraudulently filed cases be dismissed ab initio and directed that the records be expunged other than as necessary for further investigation. MANGUM was barred from filing bankruptcy for ten years and was permanently enjoined from assisting another individual with bankruptcy filings. Lastly, as a sanction, MANGUM was ordered to pay $2,500 to the United States Bankruptcy Court within five months.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney S. Katherine Burnette prosecuted the case for the government.

RALEIGH, N.C. – Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leonard announced today that David F. Mills has been tapped to lead the Stubbs Bankruptcy Clinic effective December 1. Mills, a 1991 Campbell Law graduate, recently completed a five-year stint as county attorney for Johnston County, North Carolina. He will continue his private bankruptcy practice in addition to his duties at Campbell Law.
"It is an honor to come home to Campbell Law," said Mills. "I am personally excited to be charged with directing a clinic that bears the name of an attorney I have admired and enjoyed knowing for many years.
"I appreciate the confidence shown by Dean Leonard and the hiring committee. I will do all I can to make the clinic a positive part of the community, profession and Campbell Law."
Named after prominent North Carolina bankruptcy and civil litigation attorney Trawick H. "Buzzy" Stubbs, Jr., the Stubbs Bankruptcy Clinic will begin operation with the spring 2015 semester. The clinic will receive referrals from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and Legal Aid of North Carolina, and will be hosted within the U.S. Bankruptcy Court at the historic Century Station Federal Building on Fayetteville Street in Raleigh.
"David is the ideal person to build the Stubbs Bankruptcy Clinic from the ground up," said Leonard. "His professional experience, coupled with his service as a leader in numerous professional and community organizations, positions him perfectly to help mold our students and provide them with a unique learning experience in bankruptcy law."
A native of Trenton in eastern North Carolina, Mills is a Double Camel, having also received his undergraduate degree from Campbell University. Upon graduation from Campbell Law, he began his legal career in Johnston County becoming partner at Mast, Schulz, Mast, Mills, Johnson & Wells, P.A., in Smithfield, North Carolina.
Mills opened his own practice in January 2007 representing individuals and businesses before the Bankruptcy Court. He is a leading attorney in the field of farm bankruptcy and reorganization. A member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, Mills frequently speaks to other attorneys and groups regarding bankruptcy rights and practices.
Mills has held leadership roles in numerous professional organizations throughout his career, and currently sits on the North Carolina Bar Association (NCBA) Board of Governors. He formerly chaired the NCBA's Law Practice Management Section and served on the NCBA's Professionalism Committee. He has also served on the North Carolina Advocates for Justice's Legislative Affairs Committee.
Outside of the legal profession, Mills has consistently championed community service. He is currently Chair of the Johnston-UNC Health Foundation. He has also chaired the Trustees Committee of Centenary United Methodist Church and was Vice-Chair of the church's Finance Committee. Mills has served on the Boards of Directors of the Johnston County Tourism Authority and the Downtown Smithfield Development Corporation. He has also served as Chairman of the Board for the Greater Smithfield-Selma Area Chamber of Commerce.
Since its founding in 1976, Campbell Law School has developed lawyers who possess moral conviction, social compassion and professional competence, and who view the law as a calling to serve others. The school has been recognized by the American Bar Association (ABA) as having the nation's top Professionalism Program and by the American Academy of Trial Lawyers for having the nation's best Trial Advocacy Program. Campbell Law boasts more than 3,650 alumni, including more than 2,500 who reside and work in North Carolina. In September 2009, Campbell Law relocated to a state-of-the-art building in downtown Raleigh. For more information, visit http://law.campbell.edu.

'the call of Christ today always touches down on an inner hunger.'
And this really resonated with me...
- Where is my inner hunger?
- Where am I starved, needing food?
- What am I hungry for?
- How does Christ's call 'touch down' at that point?
I'm not going to blog my answers, but it strikes me that the question is worth pondering.

David C. Grabbe: Before continuing with Judah's next king, Jotham, it is worthwhile to consider another aspect of the previous three kings. ...
Richard Ritenbaugh reiterates that I and II Chronicles (the last books to be canonized in the Old Testament) were post-exilic documents, created for the sole purpose of analyzing the cumulative thematic lessons Judah and Israel had experienced, namely that God has clearly declared what He would do, and that He has proved true to His Word in every circumstance. There is a high probability that Ezra penned the Chronicles, but also some indication that Nehemiah (who had amassed a sizable library of historical records) or other assistants to Ezra or Nehemiah could have carried the work to completion. Perhaps the most righteous of Judah's kings was Josiah, having fewer personal foibles than David, but having equivalent leadership skills to David, coupled with an ardent love for God's law and a single -minded purpose to walk in the Law of God—all this supporting a fervor and energy to carry out reforms which ultimately extirpated the trappings of idolatry which had accumulated during the tenures of Josiah's predecessors for several generations. Beginning his rule at the age of 8-years old, he ruled successfully for 31 years, turning neither to the right or the left, doggedly conforming to God's Law. During his tenure, Judah and Israel were purged of the scourge of idolatry brought about by his reprobate forbears; Josiah destroyed altars, shrines, carvings, wooden images, and high places of pagan gods, and executed the priests and mediums of these pagan religions, spearheading the attack himself. When the book of the Law (Deuteronomy) was discovered in the temple, Josiah led his people into implementing its commands. Though Josiah's heart was tender (with God's Law written on it), his people sadly did not share their King's total commitment to his reforms. Josiah was like a good fig in a basket of rotten figs. Josiah's reforms, though significant, did not enjoy the widespread support of his subjects. For that, they did delay for a little while the consequences of Judah's transgressions against God's covenant. Thou
Richard Ritenbaugh, reiterating that the book of Chronicles, written around 420 BC, after Israel had returned from captivity, was not intended to be so much as a historical record as a sermon, drawing lessons from the historical record, showing what happens when the nation and its kings conform to God's covenants and what happens when the nation and its kings depart from God's covenants. We can trust God's reaction to be consistent. The majority of leaders in Judah and Israel proved wicked, bringing enslavement and death to their subjects. A handful were fairly good kings, such as Jehoshaphat and Asa. The tenure of Asa started off well, with his judgments faithfully executed on behalf of the good and right, but as he continued his reign, his faults began to emerge as well. Asa initially banished cultic prostitutes, homosexuals, idols, and high places, even having the courage to displace his powerful grandmother Maachah for erecting an obscene image of the goddess Ashera, an idol which Asa boldly destroyed. Asa's reforms gave Judah a ten year respite, time which he wisely used to fortify his country, building up garrisons and protective walls. Sadly, Asa left a few things undone, losing a lot of steam in his later years, trying to play it safe. Idolatry was so engrained in Judah and Israel that Asa felt a sense of weariness in well-doing. Similarly, if we leave things undone in our personal revival, our secret sins morph into idols. Paul warns us to flee from all forms of idolatry. The things that our forebears experienced apply to us. When the million man army of Zerah the Ethiopian outnumbered Asa's forces two to one, Asa relied on God and prevailed. Later, on the prophet Azariah's counsel, Asa led his people to rededicate the Covenant of the Lord, making an oath of death if they disobeyed. Sadly, Asa in his later years made a treaty with Syria against Israel, leading to a period of perpetual war and a premature death by his own curse. We must learn to be steadfast all our days.
John Ritenbaugh asserts that it has always been a pattern of Satan to counterfeit celebrations of those true celebrations God has given to us. Both kings Ahaz and Manasseh went headlong into Baal worship, sacrificing their own sons to Baal, giving their flesh to the priests of Baal (origin for the English word "cannibal.") The temple Passover instituted by King Hezekiah in II Chronicles 34 was a very unusual circumstance in which the king in a national emergency centralized the worship (establishing martial law) enabling him to keep track of what the people were doing, stamping out paganism which the religious leaders had allowed to creep in, defiling the meaning of the true Passover. Those who attempt to use this episode as a precedent for a 15th Passover fail to see the true purpose of Hezekiah's emergency measures.
John Ritenbaugh reiterates Christ's superior qualifications as High Priest. After the change from the Aaronic to the Melchizedek priesthood, it was also necessary to bring about a major change in the Covenant. The flaw in the Old Covenant was not in the law, but stemmed from the fleshly, deceitful, carnal hearts of mankind. All zealous rededications to the Old Covenant (such as that of Josiah) ultimately failed. In order to fulfill the New Covenant, God has had to perform a heart transplant operation, replacing the deceitful stony heart with a pure undefiled heart (a heart predisposed to keep God's law in both the letter and spirit by means of His Holy Spirit), enabling us to incrementally know God and to absorb His divine nature), an event prophesied by Jeremiah. The Old Covenant made no provision for the forgiveness sin, nor did it contain any means for man's nature to be transformed into God's divine nature.
John Ritenbaugh reiterates that Deuteronomy (the Old Covenant in its fullest form) constitutes instruction for the Israel of God, serving as a compass and guide, preparing God's people to enter the Promised Land. None of Deuteronomy is done away. The singular book that was read by Shaphan to Josiah was Deuteronomy; the curses in chapter 28 particularly alarmed the king, leading to a re-affirmation of the Covenant and a major house- cleaning, ridding the land of idolatry. Deuteronomy is a compass, giving guidance of how to submit to God, providing us a God approved world-view. We need to evaluate our spiritual heritage and pass it on to our children, as a kind of rite of spiritual civic citizenship. If one does not have a grasp of the history of his nation, he has no real claim to citizenship. If we are not equipped, by knowing our heritage through the study of history to live in Kingdom of God, we will be terrible citizens, ill-equipped to rule. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants are a major part of our heritage. Our heritage is tied to a higher standard of life than we have come out of. The Bible is primarily a history book containing the exploits of God's family. Deuteronomy has been written to keep us on track, to be reviewed thoroughly every seven years. Deuteronomy is a detailed, renewed covenant document. We are to be doing the same things required of physical Israel, except on a much higher level; we must consequently respond on a higher level. Deuteronomy is a law doctrine which is ruthlessly monotheistic; God will not brook idolatry. In Deuteronomy, the character of God is described explicitly. We are exhorted against hiding our relationship with God by compromising with the world's culture. Our faithfulness to God must reciprocate His faithfulness with us. We are a sanctified people, separated from the world as a treasure of God, who is faithful to us because He loves us. Loving Him is the key to our being faithful to Him. Love motivates willing submission to Him in obedience.
John Ritenbaugh warns that if we are not moving forward, we will be swept back into the world. The warnings given to the people addressed by Amos and Isaiah were people (like us) who had already made a covenant with Him. Despite their having made the covenant with God, they did not really know God. After we have been called out by God, we have to seek Him and His way realizing that our conduct is motivated by our concept of God. We must be continually seeking God and living the way God lives. Abraham, when he was asked to sacrifice Isaac, added up what He knew about God, calculating that Isaac was the promised seed and would have to be replaced or resurrected. Eternal life, according to Barclay, was more than endless life, but the quality of life God lives. Coming to know God is the church's biggest problem. Romans 1:20 teaches that God's nature can be seen in the creation itself, but failure to have awe before God and to love Him leads to a confused reprobate mind. Emerson suggested that whatever people worship, they will become.
David C. Grabbe: Yesterday the Supreme Court of the United States of America removed the ban on homosexual sex. ...
Comparing God's true ministers to false ministers—and seeing their fruit—reveals how the church must be revived spiritually. And "sneezing" plays a major role!
Martin Collins, focusing on the Prophet Habakkuk, whose name means "one who embraces" or "one who clings," suggests that a major theme of the Book of Habakkuk is the importance of clinging to God regardless of the vicissitudes of life. Habakkuk's prophecy seems to be up-to-date when describing God's called out ones today, who are compelled to cling to God as evil change agents threaten to destroy our civilization. Habakkuk evidently lived following the times of Josiah's massive reforms, a time of spiritual decay following the bright times of Josiah, a transitional time something like we are experiencing today, a time the law is powerless and justice no longer prevails. We should never be tripped up when we see bad things happen to good people or vice versa, realizing that history is indeed following God's timetable. God's timing is perfect. We should never doubt the justice of God, remembering that terrible events cannot separate us from the love of God. When we feel overwhelmed, we need to (1) stop and think, refraining from rash speaking, (2) calmly restate basic principles, (3) put events in their right context, and (4) return to God for further clarification. Habakkuk followed this formula as he reflected upon every attribute of God, realizing that God had been continually faithful to His people and that the impending invasion of the Babylonians was not the last event in God's plan, but only a tool in bringing about God's ultimate purpose. Like Habakkuk, we must detach ourselves from the problem at hand, return to the ramparts and seek God's counsel, staying in the watchtower, seeking God in prayer and study until God gives us the answer, remembering that the just shall live by faith.
In this keynote message of the 1996 Feast of Tabernacles, John Ritenbaugh focuses upon the causes of the atomizing of the greater church of God into very small particles. Almighty God, as a means of mercifully disciplining and chastening His faithless children, initiated the scattering of the church (the Israel of God) for our ultimate good (Deuteronomy 28:25; Romans 8:28; Hebrews 12:5-6). Christianity is a religion of revelation- not human intellect. When the revelation of God was replaced with the wisdom of this world (the leaven of errant intellectualism), God had no choice but to scatter. As Israel did not repent at the preaching of Amos, or Judah at the preaching of Jeremiah, the members of the greater church of God did not take the warnings of Herbert Armstrong personally and individually. Any regrouping of the scattered pieces will be done only on God's terms.
How does God define the church? What comprises it according to the Bible? The ekklesia, the Greek word translated "church" in the Bible, is not a humanly defined corporation, but the mystical body of Christ, having the Spirit of God. The true church of God is an invisible, spiritual organism, of those people that have and are led by the Spirit of God. And such a person will not turn away from the teaching delivered by the apostles.
A Statement of Purpose and Beliefs of the Church of the Great God
Observing that more controversy exists about the counting of Pentecost than for any of the holy days, John Ritenbaugh suggests the confusion may be a function of the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19). Confusion, separation, and division have been our legacy since the Garden of Eden. The major reason for Christ's ministry was to put an end to the quarreling and division, enabling us to be one with the Father and with each other. Three of God's festivals (Passover, Atonement, and Pentecost) have a direct bearing on the principle of unity. As we individually strive to become unified with God, believing in His authority and His doctrines, we will ultimately become unified, in one accord, with our brethren. It is our individual responsibility, enabled by God's Holy Spirit, to follow those things that were revealed by God through His apostles, keeping God's Commandments, rather than following our own inclinations or private agenda.
Richard Ritenbaugh, focusing on the significance of the third day as a biblical motif, reiterates that the third day indicates a colossal turn-around from hopelessness and despair to victory and jubilation. The motif is also displayed in a secular event, the Battle of Gettysburg, in which, after two days of intense pounding from the Confederate Army, the Union forces finally rallied, turning the course of history around, to the ultimate saving of the Union. The third day rally, or revival motif, recurs throughout Scripture. For example, it manifests itself in David's sacrifice at the threshing floorof Aruna, when David finally realized the horrible depth of his sin. This action rallied Israel, leading to the construction of Solomon's Temple and a golden age for Israel. On the third day of creation, the sea and land were separated and seed life began to germinate. Another example is Jonah's revival from the belly of the great fish on the third day, which prefigured Christ's resurrection on the third day, at which time He was restored to His former glory. His post-resurrected body established His identity as the Messiah and Son of God. The disciples at that time internalized prophetic connections that were previously only academic in their thinking Isaac's rescue from certain death was another third day event, providing a type of Christ's resurrection. Because of Abraham's sterling obedience on this third day, his physical and spiritual offspring were richly blessed. After three days, Pharaoh's butler was restored, as Joseph's interpretation of his dream forecasted. Esther's petition before the king, restoring the well-being of her people, occurred on the third day. The Great Tribulation, using a year for a day principle, (two days of Satan's wrath and one day of God's wrath) will have its dramatic turn-around on the third day, when God's government will destroy and replace all the Satanic governments and replace them with the Kingdom of God. After incredible pain comes an indescribable reward.
Richard Ritenbaugh, reflecting on the bloodiest battle ever fought on American soil, the Battle of Gettysburg, focuses upon the turning point of the third day, a time when the retreating Union forces, aided by significant errors made by the Confederate forces, were able to rally, become newly inspired, and turn the tide of the battle—and of the War Between the States. Biblically, the third day carries much historic and prophetic significance. When Christ began His ministry by reading from Isaiah 61, He "closed the book" before getting to the part which focused on a time of renewal and restoration, a time when the resurrected saints will assist Christ in repairing the breach. The law of first mention in the account of creation indicated that God separated the light from the darkness, preparing for a dramatic revelation of an explosion of life, a kind of eukatastrophe (that is, a good catastrophe) where things that previously looked hopeless take on a decidedly joyous cast. Plants, animals, and humans began to procreate after their kind, God makes life appear from what appeared to be dead, as bleak world of lifeless water. God is stronger than entropy and death. When King David foolishly brought on a curse by conducting a census, he prayed that God would spare the people from his misguided foolishness. He made a sacrifice on the threshing floor of Aruna. On the third day of the judgmental plague, God relented. Out of this black episode came a good thing: God indicated to David where Solomon was to later erect the Temple.
Martin Collins, focusing upon the poetic prayer-song at the end of Habakkuk 3, concludes that this passage is one of the most inspiring parts of God's Word. The moving prayer-song, asking God to revive His work in the midst of years, and to temper judgment with mercy, provides a model of an effective prayer. Though the prophet began his dialogue with God with distressful angst and bitter complaints, expressing incredulity that God would allow a vile nation to be His corrective instrument, the prayer-song of Chapter 3 demonstrates that the prophet has calmly acquiesced to God's righteous judgment, remembering His sterling record of faithfulness, humbly asking God to remember to have mercy.Our time is like that of Habakkuk , when horrendous and pandemic sin invite God's wrath. We may initially find the means God uses to correct our people horrifying and discouraging, but when we place His actions in context with His overall plan and purpose for mankind, we will find peace in God's absolute sovereignty, justice, and compassion. Humility and repentance are absolute prerequisites for answered prayer. After repentance, adoration and reflection on God's attributes and on the history of His providence should make up the contents of our prayers. Finally, our specific petitions should be exclusively within the context of God's will, remembering that God's work of fashioning a new creation takes precedence over our petty concerns; like Habakkuk, we need to subordinate our work to God's overall plan, asking God for renewal in the midst of bad times, remembering that strong faith is not incompatible with fleshly weakness. Knowledge of God, as recorded in His Word, (that is , bearing in mind His promises, previous interventions, and characteristic providence) gives us fortitude in horrific times, enabling us to know that God will save His people and stand by His promises. As Habakkuk lived up to the etymology of his name habaq, meaning to embrace or cling, we must cling tenaciously to God as we enter the disastrous times
David C. Grabbe: It is almost tangible—the feeling that a hammer-blow is about to fall. It is reinforced constantly—by news reports, images from the media, and direct personal experience—that the nation is coming apart at the seams and lurching wildly out of control. ...
In this sermon on the significance of the Day of Atonement, Richard Ritenbaugh teaches that on this day we do no work because the work of atonement is done by God Almighty. We fast, afflicting our souls, reminding us how much we depend upon God both physically and spiritually, enabling us to lighten our loads and other people's loads. Fasting puts us in a proper humble and contrite frame of mind, allowing God to respond to us, freeing us from our burdens and guiding us into His Kingdom and His family.

Dubai has grown in stature somewhat in recent years and is widely seen as a hub of wealth but there are some laws that many people are unaware of that can carry big consequences. For example, you can pick up a fine for eating, drinking or chewing gum on public transport, having an excessively dirty car and even littering.
Fines of 500 dirham are normally handed out on the first offence of littering which then doubles and can triple after multiple occurrences. Dubai has even noted littering as such a problem that they have decided to introduce drones in an attempt to catch people in the act; one drone is currently sweeping the streets with hopes of adding more in the future. The Waste Management Department of Dubai Municipality is responsible for the new project and will keep an eye on beaches, waste dump sites and camp sites.
The introduction of the drones are said to, more than anything, save time as it can fly to a different place across the city extremely quickly. Before, inspectors would drive around the streets but they couldn't cover nearly as much ground as drones can. The Director of the Waste Management Department has noted how the drones can not only move location extremely fast but also gather data and even take high quality photographs if needed.
The news was welcomed by some locals who thought this would be an opportunity to fly their own drones more regularly but the laws, as far as private flying is regarded, has remained intact. Commercial drones are strictly prohibited and others are still not allowed during the night, near people, airports or buildings.
This comes as interesting news for those in the drone industry who are excited to see its use on a number of different platforms and by all sorts of different industries around the world. 2016 is set to be a bumper year for drone enthusiasts, manufacturers, and specialists alike.

London: Anne Hathaway, who plays a prostitute suffering from tuberculosis in 'Les Miserables', has opened up about the side effects of her extreme diet plan.
According to the 29-year-old actress, she was a witch and wasn't much fun to be around because she was dealing with a lot of darkness and was starving, the Mirror reported.
The 'Get Smart' star even picked up a fight with her husband Adam Shulman just because he wouldn't watch the sunset with her.
When Shulmas told her that he was on a business call and asked her for merely five minutes, she just got up, which made things even worse.
She eventually sent Adam back to the US because her manic mood swings were threatening their four year relationship.
