Salvation Is Separate And Distinct From All Ordinances
--not but that ordinances are right in their place.
Many people think it is impossible for any one to get into the
kingdom of God if he is not baptized into it. I know people who were
greatly exercised because little children died unbaptized. I have
seen them carry the children through the streets because the pastor
could not come. I don't want you to think I am talking against
ordinances. Baptism is right in its place; but when you put it in
the place of salvation, you put a snare in the way. You cannot
baptize men into the kingdom of God. The last conversion before
Christ perished on the cross ought to forever settle that question.
If you tell me a man cannot get into Paradise without being
baptized, I answer, This thief was not baptized. If he had wanted to
be baptized, I don't believe he could have found a man to baptize
I have known people who had sick relatives, and because they could
not get a minister to come to their house and administer the
sacrament, they were distressed and troubled. Now, I am not saying
anything against the ordinance by which we commemorate the death of
our Lord, and remember His return. God forbid! But let me say that
it is not necessary for salvation. I might die and be lost before I
could get to the Lord's table; but if I get to the Lord I am saved.
Thank God, salvation is within my reach always, and I have to wait
for no minister. This poor thief certainly never partook of the
sacrament. Was there a man on that hill that would have had faith to
believe he was saved? Would any church to-day have received him into
membership? He had not to wait for this. The moment he asked life,
our Savior gave it.
Baptism is one thing; the sacrament of the Lord's Supper is another
thing; and salvation through Christ is quite another thing. If we
have been saved through Christ, let us confess Him by baptism, let
us go to His table, and do whatever else He bids. But let us not
make stumbling-blocks out of these things.
That is what I call sudden conversion--men calling on God for
salvation and getting it. You certainly won't get it unless you call
for it, and unless you take it when He offers it to you. If you want
Christ to remember you--to save you--call upon Him.

Prepare yourself early enough before you require the services of a plumber to avoid the last minute frustration of having to look for one. Because there is a surge in plumbing offices that are set up day and night, finding the right services can be a challenge. Follow these guidelines to hire the best plumber available.
Price of the contract. If you want to seek the services of a qualified plumber, affordability is key. A plumber should show you what procedure is followed when you settle for one price. Often, a plumber will come to your home to evaluate the extent of damage to be repaired, so that a better estimate can be given. After you get to a suitable agreement, ask the plumber to provide a written contract. Seek the services of a plumber who asks for a reasonable price besides being a proficient service provider.
Check the educational background of a plumber. This is one factor that should not be understated when it comes to hiring a plumber. Most states and towns require plumbers to be authorized by a relevant body to confirm that they have necessary skills to perform well the first time. Determine if the licence was renewed recently or is old. Request the plumber to produce documents that indicate they completed training in plumbing.
Availability of insurance cover. A plumber is to be trusted only if he cares for the welfare of his workers and clientele by having a working insurance cover. This is because, accidents are bound to happen even when you employ the most qualified personnel. To safeguard against any harm or danger, an insurance cover needs to be legit at the time of plumbing services. A legitimate plumber is likely to produce insurance documents when asked to without hesitation.
Choose a plumber who operates locally. Such a plumber is easy to reach when you need his services besides being cost effective. The person is very knowledge of routes leading to your home so his services are one call away on your request. Therefore, his services are reliable even at odd times of the day. Besides the person is committed to doing good work so that he can increase and maintain clientele in that area. When you hire a plumber in your locale, your problem will be serviced with greater attention.
Get information about a company. Ask around your social circle for preferences about a qualified plumber they have hired in the past. Verify what you've heard by checking up the information displayed on the plumbers' website. There may be additional information on the internet about a plumber that forms the basis you can use to eliminate or hire the person. The reviews provided give more information regarding the services of a company. You can observe that individuals who provide high quality services don't need much advertising because there is constant flow of new customers who heard of their services from others.

10 Thoughts on … Ring of Honor July 8, 2017 (Dalton Castle, Flip Gordon, War Machine versus Motor City Machine Guns)
Thought Zero – Ring of Honor is back for another week of television. Surprisingly, this relationship has not gone stale yet. That is a pretty high compliment, actually.
1) We start with Coast 2 Coast. That does not inspire confidence.
2) Oh wait, Flip Gordon is out there with him. This just got 1000% more interesting. They are taking on the new ROH 6-man tag team champions – Dalton Castle and The Boys. Personally, I would rather just watch Dalton Castle versus Flip Gordon, but I guess they have to justify these fairly useless belts. And not surprisingly, Colt Cabana is burying The Boys even though they are the champs.
3) Castle is displaying some more heelish tactics today. And in an interesting bit of strategy, Castle seems to have adopted the offense of the recently split tag team of Enzo and Big Cass. What I mean by that is that the only offense The Boys seem to be involved in is Castle throwing them over the top rope onto their opponents. Flip Gordon is the most impressive in the match so far.
4) Maybe Coast 2 Coast would be more interesting to me if they had any sort of personality, or uniqueness. Towards the end of the match, the Boys do some Twin Magic which is sorta stupid because all it does is set up a hot tag to Dalton Castle. After Castle shows off his amateur background with some impressive suplexes and throws we get some more flips and dives until the eventual Bang-a-Rang gets the pin.
5) We come back from commercial showing how Silas Young and Beer City Bruiser destroying Jay Lethal's ribs at Best in the World. After Lethal got the victory in that match, Bruiser splashed Lethal's ribs into a keg multiple times while Young held Lethal in place. Bruiser followed up with a frog splash through a table. And it is pretty obvious that feud is going to continue.
6) Matt Taven versus Ultimo Guerrero and his mullet. Guerrero is representing CMLL here where Taven and The Kingdom have been roaming around causing trouble. Of note, TK O'Ryan is down to one crutch now, but still has a very large cast on that broken shinbone. This match starts off much slower than I anticipated, but I am not sure it is due to Taven or Guerrero. Maybe Taven is practicing his WWE-style for a tryout. Start the unsubstantiated rumors now!
7) Taven locks on a Sharpshooter at one point. Not sure I've seen that out of him before. However, almost immediately after, Guerrero hits a Super-Gordbuster (called nicely by Colt Cabana), but Taven kicks out. Then Guerrero hits Taven with a Super-Powerbomb and Taven kicks out again. Taven then hits a big frog splash, but Guerrero kicks out. I get that ROH loves the Japanese big match style of kicking out of every big move to build up to the finish, but come on guys… Any of those three moves should have been the finish. If you were wondering Taven finally got the pin after a low blow.
8) Main event time is the first ever meeting between War Machine and the Motor City Machineguns. I know the MCMGs are quick and awesome, but they are also about half the size of War Machine. Fashion update, the MCMGs have dropped the Stryper-esque Yellow and Black attack color scheme of Search and Destroy lately. And War Machine have yet another pair of cool-ass headgear and new navy blue tights.
9) Early on the MCMGs try using their speed to control the pace, but War Machine hangs with them. This prompts a mid-match handshake between Sabin and Hansen and then they tag out to their respective partners. Rowe and Hansen seem to surprise the MCMGs with their speed and double team offense. Shelley and Sabin finally take over with some of their own innovative tag team offense and quick tags. However, they seem to be playing with fire as even though they have the advantage, Rowe never appears to be in danger of being pinned.
10) Hansen gets the hot tag and hits the insane number of corner to corner splashes on Shelley and Sabin into a commercial break. Back from break and the teams are going back and forth. War Machine continues to hit impressive power moves to gain advantage and then the MCMGs follow up with some of their classic double-team work. The surprising finish comes when the MCMGs hit a combination Sliced Bread/Power Bomb on Ray Rowe and get the three count. Impressive work by all four men.
The main event almost seemed like a bit of a wasted opportunity. If you want to push the fact that this was the first meeting of two very impressive tag teams, why not really build to it and put it on a PPV, not just a TV episode. Regardless, it was a very good main event to cap off another solid show by Ring of Honor.
See you next week!

Afterwards, however, it was very nice to settle back in with our host families, feel a bit more at home, and be able to rest. The rest of the week, spent in San Juan del Obispo, was a fairly regularly scheduled week. Spanish classes, service projects, PMG afternoon, and small groups. In addition we had our very own site talent show, took part in a dance class, had a Knowing Yourself session with Brette, and had an impactful visit to an organization doing justice work in Guatemala City.
The talent show wasn't entirely prepared nor did it turn out the way it was expected to, but it was lots of fun. Each small group performed an act, along with several individual and group acts. It was more like a comedy show…so collectively our best talent is making each other laugh.

When publishing your ads in Qwaya you'll be asked to select a bid strategy:
The options available in this section change depending on the Objective, Optimization goal and billing event that you've selected.
Lowest cost:
If you use "Lowest cost" you're telling Facebook to dynamically adjust your bid to try to get you as many results as possible while also spending your full budget evenly over the day or your ad set's lifetime (depending on the type of budget - daily or lifetime).
Lowest cost with cap:
This bidding strategy allows you to tell Facebook the desired maximum amount you're willing to pay for the result your ad set is optimized for. Facebook's pacing system gets you the lowest cost opportunities first and then bids up to your maximum as they exhaust opportunities. This means your cost per result may rise as Facebook spends your budget, but not above the amount you set.
You can learn more about these bidding strategies in the article below:
About the delivery system: Bids
Target cost:
Target cost bidding allows you to tell Facebook what you want your average cost per result to be, rather than the maximum amount you're willing to pay for any given result.
If using an target cost please consider the following points:
- Target cost requires the optimization goal "Offsite conversions" or "App installs".
- Target cost requires the billing event "Impressions"
- Target cost cannot be edited on ad level in Qwaya, only the ad set level
You can learn more about the differences between Average and Maximum bidding in Facebook's help center:

Font Weight Not Changing
In the Character panel often it is not possible to change a font weight from Regular to Bold for example. I have to go in the font menu and select the font specifically.
Also, in the character panel the menu to change weights does not change anymore when I select a different font. For example: Metropilis Black becomes Calibri Black (which does not exist).
Clearing caches and trashing preferences does not help.

Policy Brief, Center for a New American Security, April 14, 2016.
This spring, the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea under the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague will issue a ruling in the case that has become known as Philippines v. China. The case, which was brought before the court in early 2013, will make headlines due to the significant spike in South China Sea tensions that has occurred since it began. It will also make history as perhaps the most ambitious and farthest-reaching case ever to have been heard pursuant to the Law of the Sea. The decision is likely to clarify several important issues at the heart of the South China Sea disputes as well as reduce the scope of the disputes. The tribunal will not, however, adjudicate questions of sovereignty – indeed, disputes over which country holds the title to which land features are likely to persist for years to come. Nonetheless, the case may set a new international precedent and impose reputational costs on China. The ruling may usher in a period of increased regional tensions in already hotly contested waters, but could also provide opportunities to defuse these longstanding maritime conflicts in the longer term.
Major milestones in the Philippines v. China case have been widely reported. The esoteric law that governs the proceedings and their nonpublic nature mean that the potential outcomes of the case and their political and legal implications are, however, not terribly well understood. The Tribunal's award will be legally binding on the Philippines and China, but will also reverberate throughout the region and the world. This CNAS brief looks ahead to the Tribunal's ruling, assesses the range of prospective decisions, and evaluates their broader implications.

Two Queens in Spring
Spring is with us early this year and Prunus species are flowering early. A March inspection of one hive revealed two queens. Last year's red-marked mother queen and her unmarked daughter. Rarely for me I had a camera to hand and with the two queens on one frame, I was able to take a picture.
Mum is on the lower right; you can just make out the remains of a red dot on her thorax.
Why should there be two? Supercedure in the autumn is not uncommon. Perfect supercedure, where mum keeps laying until the daughter has taken over can also occur. Usually mum gets thrown out sometime after. In this case she is still there. A week after the picture was taken, she was still there. However she was on a frame of worker brood with daughter on a frame containing drone brood. So, maybe the daughter was not mated and it's her that is laying drones. That's just conjecture. The stock is not that big.. I'll post later once the bees have decided what they want. I'm sure they are better at deciding than me.

The Canadian Pallet Council (CPC) is a Canadian success story. Established and based in Canada since 1977, the CPC continues to provide low cost, competitive pallet services, including an efficient interchange system for the Canadian consumer products industry. The CPC is a non-profit organization with over 1000 members who own and exchange the almost seven million distinctive orange pallets in circulation.
The CPC has evolved to meet the needs of its members and will continue to do so. The CPC is much more than just pallets. We offer a variety of services to our members including education and training which is a major focus for the organization. The CPC has a formal, targeted education program to train pallet administrators in best practices which result in lower pallet costs. The CPC also has dedicated staff to support members from coast to coast.
The CPC offers Asset Management tools and best practices that are the basis of all Asset Management systems. In January of 2004, the CPC launched CTSWEB, a web based tool for container tracking which will replace the current CTS PC based application. CTSWEB improves the ease of use of the CPC system and significantly reduces administrative efforts through reduced keying and a simplified reconciliation process. The new system provides transparency throughout the supply chain and offers a system wide picture of the location and responsibility of all returnable assets. In Juyly 2012, the CPC launched Electronic Container Transfer (ECT) which was developed to reduce the logistics costs of returning empty pallets or containers. The ECT technology leverages the CTSWEB database to provide opportunities for trading partners.
In January 2004, the CPC launched a new, proprietary Pallet Cost Model for members who own their own pallets. Created for the CPC by senior industry experts, this comprehensive computer based model will enable a manufacturer or supplier to accurately determine their pallet requirements and costs with a minimum amount of time and input.
Mission Statement
The Canadian Pallet Council will provide the consumer goods industry supply chain with the most cost effective returnable pallet standards and container interchange system in Canada, by setting, monitoring and enforcing policies, procedures and standards that meet our members' performance and quality requirements.
The CPC will be a partner in container pool management, a service provider responsible for data and information management and a facilitator in developing member cooperation and commitment.
In 1968 the Distribution Managers of several major Canadian Grocery companies met to establish a standard pallet for interchange. Up until then the pallets in use were a variety of sizes and designs resulting in costly delays and high labour costs. What evolved was the 48″ X 40″ four-way entry wood pallet, known as the GPMC pallet. The use of this standard pallet became more and more wide spread until in 1977 it was felt necessary to form the Canadian Pallet Council to administer the program – and thus the CPC association was created. In later years the pallets were painted with their distinctive orange stripe and logo, which are registered trademarks of the CPC.
The CPC was created on the basis of pallet ownership, assuming that pallet users would purchase and maintain their pallets. Today the CPC includes other pallet services including pallet rental (short and long term), one-way and retrieval programs. Members must repair damaged pallets at approved CPC member locations. Over 30 pallet companies compete to provide these services to CPC user members. CPC membership includes Suppliers and Manufacturers, Distributors and Retailers, Public Warehouses, Transport Carriers, 3rd Party Logistic Companies, as well as Pallet Manufacturing, Rental, Repair and Retrieval companies.

Ahmad, Zulkifli and Ridzuan, Mohd Baharudin and Daud, Zawawi (2009) Membrane bioreactor for palm oil mill effluent and resource recovery. In: International Conference on Sustainable Development for Water and Waste Water Treatment, 14-15 December 2009, Yogyakarta Indonesia.
Download (5MB)
The performance of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) far treating palm oil mill effluent (POU) has been studied. The objective of this study was to observe and evaluate the performance of MBR for POME treatment. A high strength POME with organic loading rate uf 1.4 kg BOD per m³d was fed into an aerobic MBR. The MBR was operated with constant flux of 15 LMH. The reactor was operated at a mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS) concentration about 4.5 g/l. The removal efficiency of COD, SS, and Turbidity were achieved 88%, 99%, and 99% respectively. The system were also capable to remove 61% of BOD, 75% of colour, 74% of TN, and 49% of TP. To observe the effect of biomass on membrane fouling, activated slugde for MBR was investigated ta determine concentration of carbohybate for soluble microbial product (SMP) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The aerobic MBR was found to be able to degrade POME significantly and high quality effluent could be reused for various other applications.

Top 5 Secretly Healthy Spices
This month we're looking at the ultimate cupboard staples – spices. As well as the power to completely transform the flavour of a dish, some of them have added health benefits, too. Spices and herbs have been used for centuries to cure an array of ailments, and we've picked out the top five that you should be keeping on hand for both delicious dishes, and maybe even to help with some illnesses.
While many of these spices often require using larger quantities than you would find in your food to see any beneficial health effects, there are often supplements available containing these ingredients in controlled doses. With studies supporting the old wives' tales of the medicinal properties of these spices, if you're looking to try plant-based medicines, some of these could work for you. Bear in mind that before you make any changes to prescribed medication, you should seek the advice of your doctor for a professional opinion.
1. Garlic
Enjoyed by most, garlic is used as both a spice and a herb, but is actually part of the lily family. As well as being a delicious addition to many savoury dishes, garlic also boasts some useful health attributes. Studies have found that it can help lower blood pressure, whether it is in the form of supplements, powders or extracts. Garlic has also been reported to help reduce the symptoms of colds, though more studies need to be carried out to find how effective this is – but it's a great excuse to eat plenty of garlic bread when ill, so why not give it a go?
2. Turmeric
With its vibrant yellow colour, Turmeric is native to India, both for its flavour, colour and medicinal uses. With ayurvedic properties, turmeric is famed for containing curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric also helps to aid digestion and fight oxidative damage with its antioxidant values, and has been known to help decrease the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's, arthritis, and can be useful in preventing and treating cancer, reportedly. You could add it to a savoury dish; enjoy it as tea or even a trendy turmeric latte.
3. Ginger
Ginger is widely used in different cuisines, and has been known to help treat nausea. Studies have found that just one gram of the spice could effectively remedy illness, with morning sickness, sea sickness and the effects of chemotherapy being examples of where ginger successfully helped ease the symptoms. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that are comparable to aspirin; one study looking at the risk of colon cancer found that two grams of the spice each day reduced colon inflammation the same way as aspirin.
4. Cayenne Pepper
A member of the deadly nightshade family, cayenne pepper is closely related to bell peppers and jalapeños; the spice packs a punch and originates from Central and South America. It also has a wide range of medical uses, such as migraine prevention, helping digestion, detoxing, soothing toothache and anti-fungal properties. One of the general health benefits of cayenne pepper is its metabolism-boosting capability; by increasing your body's temperature and burning more calories
through the process of thermogenesis, it could help in achieving a healthy weight. However, consuming it regularly causes the body to adapt to the effects, therefore making
it less beneficial.
5. Cinnamon
One of the most popular spices around the world, cinnamon doesn't just taste amazing, but has a host of health benefits, too. It contains cinnamaldehyde, which helps to reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol and lower blood sugar. It does this by slowing down the digestion of carbohydrates, and improving insulin efficiency, though more studies are needed to prove whether this is useful for people with type 2 diabetes.

Chapter 31: Nobility
Chapter 31: Nobility
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Work? What do you mean working with my body?"
Lola jumped, scared. She immediately had all kinds of bad thoughts.
But Marvin didn't do anything weird. He only sat cross-legged in front of her and firmly said, "Tell me all the vocabulary and grammar of the gnoll language you know. I'll only ask once."
Lola blankly looked at him. She didn't think he would raise this kind of request.
He just wanted to learn the gnoll language?
"Sir, forgive my offense." Lola timidly said, "Although the gnoll language is simple, it's not a language you can learn quickly."
Marvin didn't feel like saying much, he took out his curved dagger and put it on the side.
"You talk. I listen."
Lola wanted to cry but no tears came out.
She just had to be his gnoll language teacher.
'Truly a single-minded bad guy.'
Even though she felt like that, she still forced herself to explain all her knowledge of the gnoll language.
Although the gnoll language was relatively simple, it was still a language. It wasn't easy to master it.
Lola's explanation of the small bits of the language that she knew took a bit more than two hours.
She looked at Marvin warily, "Sir, I've already given you all my vocabulary, there isn't much more."
Marvin remained motionless.
Before long, his mouth uttered a very queer sound.
Lola was shocked when she heard that sound.
This sound meant "food" in the gnoll language.
'How could this happen? I took more than a year to learn the gnoll language, yet he is able to speak it after listening to me speaking it for only two hours?'
Lola felt like she was dreaming.
But next, Marvin began talking to her in the gnoll language. "You did a good job. Definitely helped me. But I cannot let you leave now."
He then stood up and used the rope to tie Lola to the bed.
After leaving her a few pieces of bread, Marvin sealed the doors and the windows of the farmhouse and left alone.
Lola was sitting on the bed with a blank stare, as if she saw a ghost.
She even forgot to resist!
Although, it would have been futile to resist.
Marvin did learn the gnoll language.
And it only took two hours. This seemed miraculous, but it was actually true.
After getting rid of Miller, Marvin didn't only reach level 5 ranger, he also took a look at his own original class.
This life class could also be promoted. Baron, this rank could let a noble reach level 4, and then it wouldn't get higher. Marvin surmised that he might need a higher nobility title.
Marvin casually added 10 general exp to the original 40 Nobility exp to level it up.
His Noble class reached level 4!
After reaching level 4, aside from the 20 noble special skill points, he also found out that he got an extra skill.
[Quick Study] (Level 4 Nobility Specialty): When you activate this specialty, you can learn knowledge in a short time.
Can be activated for 3 hours every month.
As for the target of study, it could be: any language, geography, culture, astronomy, etc. Gnoll language was included in that.
It was because of this specialty that Marvin made Lola lecture him on gnoll language.
It was a success.
[You used a specialty – Quick Study]
[You are learning new knowledge…]
[Study finished – Knowledge +1]
[Knowledge – Language (Gnoll Language)]: You mastered the elementary gnoll language. You are able to have the most basic conversation with gnolls.
He had successfully learned the most basic gnoll language. Even if it was only the lowest rank, it would still be enough to use.
He was here to scout, so being unable to understand what gnolls said wouldn't do.
'As such, Nobility, this life class isn't worthless. I heard that the pearl tower's scholars have similar skills. They can quickly learn knowledge thanks to a few skills. I didn't expect Nobility to have this kind of skill.'
However, based on Marvin's conjecture, this kind of ability wouldn't appear 100% of the time and was decided at birth.
Nobles in this world were all wizards or their descendants. They had outstanding blood flowing in their veins.
This let them have a chance of learning some unusual specialties when they leveled up as Nobility.
And [Quick Study] was a very useful one.
Marvin no longer hesitated after he settled the matter of the gnoll language. Under the cover of the drizzle, he checked around the bottom of the castle's east mountain wall.
There was a secret escape path there.
The secret path led directly to the lord's room, under the bed. During the sneak attack, Marvin was having a meal in the dining room, so he wasn't able to use the secret path.
As a result, this secret path probably hadn't been exposed.
Marvin took advantage of stealth and clever movements to stay out of sight of the gnoll sentries in the castle, before parting a thick bush.
He lifted open a plank from under the sunken grass pile, exposing the secret path in front of him.
Marvin's torch was inside the void conch so even though it was raining, once he got inside the secret path, he was able to use a flint and light his torch.
The torch flames were very bright and the quality of air inside the secret path seemed quite good.
Marvin closed the plank and then went along using a sneaky, cat-like walk.
The humidity was different. It was very dry inside the tunnel.
Even though there was a lot of dust, the completely soaked Marvin still felt a lot more comfortable.
He quickly made his way forward by relying on his memories of the path.
There was a fork in front of him.
According to his memories, there was a staircase on the left path leading to the exit; the right path was sealed.
A huge rock blocked the path, hiding the other side.
Marvin suddenly remembered that before Miller's death, he had mentioned a secret path below the castle having a treasure.
'Could it be behind this huge rock?'
Marvin was puzzled. He wasn't very anxious, as even if there was a treasure, it wouldn't escape on its own.
He still had to finish scouting first and leave it for later.
Scouting was decisive in winning a battle.
Because having enough information could give you victory. Marvin wouldn't feel reassured if anyone else did this job so he could only do it himself.
He followed the secret path very carefully, arriving to the lord's room.
There were no voices, so it seemed his luck was pretty good.
Marvin infiltrated the castle and used stealth, being extremely careful at every step.
Gnoll shadows began appearing one after the other in the castle surroundings.
The more he looked, the more alarmed he felt.
These gnolls weren't fighters!
There were only common gnolls without any fighting strength, and for the most part, old weak women and children.
There were more than two hundreds of those gnolls!
This meant that it was a medium sized gnoll tribe. They should have about one hundred and fifty gnolls with real combat classes.
This wasn't an amount that a twenty man garrison could deal with, let alone all those mutated aardwolves.
He walked around the castle very carefully.
Fortunately, he was very familiar with the terrain and the gnolls had pretty poor perception. He was able to calmly withdraw.
But what made him somewhat puzzled was that he had met the majority of the gnoll tribe forces, but still wasn't able to find the boss.
The gnoll tribe roughly had a hundred and fifty qualified as fighters. Among them were six level 3 Petty Officers and two level 4 Adjutants.
The leader was definitely a rank 2 class-holder
Marvin noticed that those mutated aardwolves didn't listen to the ordinary gnolls, or even to the adjutants.
They seemed to be controlled by someone even more powerful.
'Their leader, what is it?'
Harboring doubts in his heart, Marvin clenched his teeth and wanted to go further in.
But at that time, on a street not far from there, a group of gnolls were escorting a thin and small guy.
Marvin narrowed his eyes and was immediately startled!
Gnolls were normally small enough, but that guy was especially abnormal.
It looked as small as a five or six years old child. His fur and color was actually very smooth and the rest of the gnolls looked at him with eyes filled with respect.
'Oh my god! Am I mistaken?'
'The gnoll race widely known for being dumb as fuck, actually gave birth to a Sorcerer?!'
Marvin's quick judgment told him to quickly get out of there.
The most basic innate Sorcerer spell, [Eye of Pain], was the bane of all stealth techniques.
He was alone in enemy territory, he couldn't stay there!

Being an astronaut sure has a lot of benefits. You get to go to space, experience zero gravity, and even get a glimpse of the planet from a new perspective. Back down on Earth, it also gives you the opportunity to purchase a special edition Range Rover which is only being sold to astronauts. Specifically, 'future astronauts' who will be signing up to go to space on a Virgin Galactic commercial flight.
Called the Range Rover Astronaut Edition, it was built as part of an on-going collaboration between Land Rover and Virgin Galactic. Virgin Galactic plans to start offering commercial space flights using its SpaceShipTwo vehicle in the future. So far, around 600 people have already signed up to become 'future astronauts' by reserving a flight.
The Astronaut Edition is based on a standard Range Rover Autobiography and built by Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations. It is finished in an exclusive Zero Gravity Blue paint 'inspired by the depth and intensity of the night sky'. It features a bespoke puddle lamp design which illuminates a silhouette of SpaceShipTwo. Astronaut Edition badging on the rear and sides complete the exterior makeover.
Inside, the two discs within the cup holders are crafted from the front landing skid of Virgin Galactic's first spaceship. To make each vehicle truly unique, customers will be able to have the discs replaced with ones made from the skid of the spaceship that took them to space. They can even add personal inscriptions for a truly unique touch.
In addition to the two discs, the interior is finished in white leather with blue contrast stitching similar to Virgin Galactic's colors. Other unique touches on the Astronaut Edition include a carbon fiber center console and rear armrest with the "DNA of Flight" graphic, which depicts iconic models of flight from the Wright Brother's airplane to the Apollo Lunar Module and SpaceShipTwo.
Land Rover will be offering the Range Rover Astronaut Edition with a wide range of engines including the p400e plug-in hybrid and the supercharged V8.
Pricing for the Range Rover Astronaut Edition has not been disclosed. Then again, you can't just buy one of these unless you sign up for Virgin Galactic's 90-space flight, which costs $250,000 (Php 13,050,000).

I tried my baking hands at it for the first time today.. Let me just say icing cupcakes is an skillful art that I don't have! But luckly I can practice in the comfort of my own home! =)
Happy Friday!
Cookbook: Barnes and Noble
Materials needed:
STEP 1: Stack about 5-8 tissue sheets together and cut the large sheet into 10″ X 20″ (h) rectangle (or cut the width to the size you want your pom-pom diameter to be).
(TIP: The width will end up being the diameter size of your pom-pom; the height will determine the "fluff" of your pom-pom (ie. the shorter the height the less fluff). The number of sheets will also determine the amount of "fluff")
(TIP: Here are three different sizes of rectangles you can cut, for a small, medium, and large pompom: 5″ X 10″ small; 10″ X 20″ medium; 16″ X 28″ large)
If you don't want your pom-poms on a "stem" then after you've pinched and tied the center of your fan (STEP 2) , tie another string around the center again and leave extra string to hang your pom-pom. Open your fan (STEP 3) and FLUFFF! (STEP 4)
(TIP: If you plan to make a BUNCH of these, it may be more cost effective to order a bulk them online here or here (pre-stacked and cut for you) and just fold, tie, anf fluff yourself; some come folded, cut, and tied.)
I love to continue learning different techniques and meeting new people! Last month The Wedding Pantry opened in Tustin, CA and although I missed the grand opening, I was able to attend the Part 1 of DIY wedding flowers at the boutique. Cindy Babuscio of Bohemian Rose Designs graciously offered her knowledge to brides looking to do their own wedding flowers, starting with boutonnieres. All photos were taken by wedding photographer Brian Khang, but the last photo was taken by me, from the cell phone! =)
I love this new tool that Macy's came up with as an interactive marketing strategy: Macy's Fashion Director Challenge of the Day . From March 8 – April 6, 2010, you can have fun pulling together as many ensamble outfits as you want. Each day there's a new challenge topic for inspiration (and contest, if you wish).
I tried it for the first time today and it's a terribly FUN tool! I wonder if there's something like this out there for wedding design! (pls share if you know!) Here are my ensambles. I'll be updating this entry as the days go by (only to the challenges I like) =)
Challenge of the Day (03/10/2010): Outfit for having coffee with your ex.
Challenge of the Day (03/11/2010): You're having dinner with your husband's boss. What are you going to wear?
Challenge of the day (03/21/2010) : You are out and about on a rainy Saturday. What are you wearing?
1. cake table / dessert table
2. rented photo booth
3. open photo op area
4. ceremony backdrop
5. head table / sweatheart table
Here are some of my favorite unique backdrops. Again.. be creative and stick to YOUR wedding look/feel.
(1) This first one is super labor intensive but so worth it for uniqueness! Photographer, Brandon Kidd, made his own backdrop for his wedding. I'm sure as a photographer he's seen it all… except this one! He cut various size trunks of trees to make this DIY photo backdrop. Incidently, after the wedding, he put this to use in the bedroom as their headboard! (I hope this inspires all you grooms out there!) Read more on the making of his backdrop here.
Also, their dessert table backdrop goes with the natural/organic theme. the little white dots on the backdrop is cotton! The desserts were made by the amazing Melody of Sweet & Saucy Shop, who was my wedding baker as well! She is out.of.this.world.awsome!!!… and super-duper-sweet too!
(3) Instead of props, you could use a single chalkboard or whiteboard and have your guests write a short message! The hung the quilt on a clothesline and called it a day! How fun! Read more on this from Style Me Pretty, featured here.
(4) This backdrop incorporates various family photos in color and black and white, mounted on black paper as the border with red/white title labels. Four to five photos are strung together on a red ribbon and hung from a PVC pipe covered with shear curtains. Read more about this on The Knot, featured here.
(5) A super cute backdrop that is really simple to do! Just hang 2-3 ribbon in your weddingcolors. Alternate the ribbon colors randomly or in a pattern (like the one shown here). You can also use different widths of ribbon and even different patterns. Then add your names, monogram, image, or something like "Love Is Sweet" or "Eat Cake!". I loove this understated cake made again by Melody!
(6) This MAY be my fav.. but that's just because it's the backdrop in MY wedding! A bride is always in the spotlight on the wedding day… so, why not mimic your own Red Carpet walkway!! This can be done if you have an indoor or outdoor reception. This is called a step-repeat backdrop, much like those you see at celeb events. I opted to feature 4 different logos as "sponsors" of the wedding: SignatureK (of course!), In The Clouds Events (my MoH's company), Home Grown Blends HGB (my hubby's DJ company), and our wedding logo that said "kien jayson" with a cupcake illustration inserted between our names (you can kind of see it on the right s side of the image below). The logos were printed on 8 ft x 8 ft vinyl material and proped up by free-standing PVC pipes. Read more on my "hollywood beach wedding gala" here and floral prep here. =)
(7) Last but not least, one of my favorites. If I got married again, I would totally pick an open landscape area like this and build my own rustic indoor ceremony setting, outside! I LOVE this yellow dresser as THE pop of color in this neutral outdoor space. I'm sure this takes as much work as the round tree trunk backdrop, but sooo worth it. To pull this off, you definately need a few helping hands .. to help you design a similar ceremony backdrop AND to install this for the DAY-OF! Now do you know why a planner/coordinator (and even a designer) is so important!!? It makes all the difference and can ensure your unique details are not overlooked! Read more on this wedding on the Bellisima Vita blog.

All museums will open for free for Egyptians and tourists on May 18, which marks the International Museum Day.
In a Tuesday statement, Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities announced that the museums will be open for visitors all day.
The International Museum Day has been coordinated by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) since 1977.
On its website, ICOM explained that this day represents a "unique moment for the international museum community".
"The objective of the International Museum Day (IMD) is to raise awareness of the fact that museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples," the ICOM website stated.
Organized on May 18 each year or around this date, the events and activities planned to celebrate International Museum Day can last a day, a weekend or an entire week. IMD was celebrated for the first time 40 years ago. All around the world, more and more museums participate in the International Museum Day.
Last year, more than 37,000 museums participated in the event in about 158 countries and territories, according to the ICOM website.

Quote for Today
"Compassion costs. It is easy enough to argue, criticize and condemn, but redemption is costly, and comfort draws from the deep. Brains can argue, but It takes heart to comfort."
– Samuel Chadwick
…a word in due season, how good it is! (Prov. 15:23 KJV)
"Compassion costs. It is easy enough to argue, criticize and condemn, but redemption is costly, and comfort draws from the deep. Brains can argue, but It takes heart to comfort."
– Samuel Chadwick
"Woman, why weepest thou?"
John 20:15
Weeping expresses some of the deepest emotions of our humanity. It reveals life, empathy and love. Weeping in the valleys of our own life is the precursor to a greater purpose; weeping with and for others. These experiences give us the grace to identify with others.
"Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
2 Corinthians 1:4
The comfort gained in our own trials brings a depth and capacity to share the comfort of the Lord with others. Compassion is a grace produced by sorrow. It is the press of this sorrow from which the wine of the joy of the Lord flows. His workings in us are not solely for our benefit; God always has a higher end in mind. He is ever looking for the seed of a thing to become a harvest. He sees the harvest and the multiplication of the Christ in each of us into the lives around us. He so desires us to see beyond the limited horizon of our own selves to the "fields which are ripe unto harvest".
"For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation."
2 Corinthians 1:5-6
The cause of Mary's weeping became the fountain of her greatest joy.
Weeping has purpose and as we grow in our walk with Him the why reveals the maturity and depth of our life in Him. At every stage within the disciple's walk weeping has tremendous purpose and it is as the wine matures and deepens within us that our tears for ourselves are turned into the tears for others.
How good and wise are the ways of God and may we in the valleys see the distant prospects of a harvest unto our God and Father by the very life of the Son arising from the ashes of our own experience.
"Blessed are they who mourn
for they SHALL be comforted"
Matthew 5:4
Brian Troxel

Tuesday night's Mets-Marlins game pits two of baseball's hardest- throwing 23-year-olds in Noah Syndergaard and Miami's Jose Fernandez.
Syndergaard's fastball averaged 97.1 mph in his rookie season last year, compared with Fernandez's 95.8 mph.
"It's going to be exciting to see," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "I say this all the time. When you have a matchup like that, if you're a baseball fan, you're going to enjoy it."
Fernandez has done well against the Mets, posting a 1.64 ERA in 22 innings spanning four starts. Syndergaard never has faced the Marlins.
Missing: strikeouts
For the first time in the major-league career of Matt Harvey, spanning 67 starts, he's gone consecutive outings with three or fewer strikeouts. But Collins isn't worried.
"Hopefully we can get our pitchers to not concern themselves too much with strikeouts but making quality pitches so they can get easy outs so they can go deep in the game," he said. "I can go back to where these guys were striking out 10 or 11 guys but they're out in the sixth inning because they've got 110 pitches."
Baby alert
Collins said Jacob deGrom left the Mets to be with his wife in Florida because "the baby's coming." Major League Baseball rules allow the Mets to place deGrom on paternity leave to gain a substitute player for as many as three games, but Collins said there were no plans to take advantage of that rule just yet.
Extra bases
Yoenis Cespedes was presented his 2015 American League Gold Glove for his excellence in leftfield . . . Don Mattingly has three former Mets on his Marlins coaching staff: third-base coach Lenny Harris (1998, '00-01), bullpen coach Reid Cornelius (1995) and catching coach Brian Schneider (2008-09).

This mobile chicken coop has two unique features: a simple mechanism for lowering wheels to raise the coop for moving, and a battery powered automatic door to let the birds out of the roosting enclosure in mornings. Thus it is simple to move around to provide fresh foraging, and does not require tending first thing in the morning. Photos, videos and descriptions are here: http://sunnyslopeorchard.blogspot.com/2013/12/our-mobile-chicken-coop.html

Cell phone controlled switch for block heaters, fences or any electrical device!
Turn your electric fence on or off with a text message. Get text alerts of power failures (and thus fence outages). Find a short or a broken section of fence way out in the pasture? No need to walk all the way back to the barn to turn the fence off to fix it (nor to "grin and bear it" while you fix it); just a send a text and in a few seconds the fence will be safe to work on.

It appears that Tamar Braxton's mother and confidant, Evelyn Braxton, is beyond angry that she reunited with Vincent Herbert.
Before going on her latest rant and deleting her Instagram account, the R&B singer made headlines in more than one way.
After calling Herbert a liar, cheater, and wife beater, she was seen backstage at the Great Xscape Tour with him.
The pair was smiling as they posed for pictures with fans and controversial rapper Khia.
Evelyn was also at the concert, and she was fuming to see her daughter with her estranged husband.
A family friend told The Jasmine Brand: "She was pissed when she saw him backstage with Tamar at her recent Atlanta concert for the Xscape tour."
She was blindsided when she saw him. She was heard asking people, "Why is HE here?"
Mama Braxton is said to be confused and baffled that the diva went back to Herbert after he assaulted her on Christmas Day and was arrested for the crime.
Braxton dropped the following bombshell: "Vincent Herbert is having a baby, and his crazy whore decided to let me know about it tonight!! That stupid broke @ss whore should check public records on Christmas before she goes through with it!! He called back (despite his protection order) begging and lying…like he's hanging out with Joe and Roxci(from BET). Oh, yeah…that's creditable…no shade."
She added: "However, before [you] judge me know the FACTS!!! He is a real piece of work. Smh happy new year folks! Ladies and gentlemen know that 2018 is a FRESH start and if I can leave this liar, you can leave yours too. Say what u want about me…but I'm good & Got Damn tired of the bull 2018 belongs to who DARES to take your life BACK!I'm FIRST in Line!"
The reality TV star also claimed that she is going on vacation with Herbert for the sake of their young son, Logan.
She went on to say: "Nope sorry not together, but since the craziness the other day we have agreed to create a better environment for my son. Angry or not it is all about my son.Yes, we also agreed not to speak on this anymore and public after this my son can read, and he is not dumb."
Many believe all of this is fake.

Halloween is just around the corner, and finding a costume isn't that easy in many cases. Sure, you could just run out to the Halloweens store…if you're a cheater. Anyone can just go buy a costume. Then what? You're running around in an ill-fitting, one-size-fits-all costume there's no fun in that. For one thing, those bag costumes are expensive. Plus, everyone else has the exact same getup you do. Where is the fun in that? Why not hang a sign around your neck that says "I have no imagination".
Store bought costumes are boring. Create your own this year.
You could make a custom t-shirt that looks like the label to your favorite condiment, or come up with a group t-shirt idea with your friends. The more t-shirts you order, the cheaper each individual shirt will be. You can get a full breakdown of what that would look like when you get a free quote. Why is article titled "last minute" costume ideas?
If you order now, you'll get your shirts be October 28.
Just look at the upper right-hand corner of your screen. If you order your Halloween t-shirts now, you'll get them just a couple days before Halloween. Our orders ship for free in two weeks. If you hurry, you can get your shirts in time to hit the town, or if you're ordering for the young ones, in time to trick or treat.
Why not dress up your dog also? You and the other parents chaperoning trick or treaters can get matching "Trick or Treat Security" shirts and get your four legged friend in on the action with custom t-shirts for pets. We have dog hoodies available if you want to keep them warm and toasty while helping you escort the little ones around town. The same goes for the humans in your Halloween entourage.

Spoiler! There, it's out the way, lest anyone gets a wobbly bottom lip because they weren't fully aware.
Even though DiabloWiki.Net and the Beta Forum have been filling up over last week with all manner of images the community have mined from the patch 6, Risingred has squeezed another out of the files. You'll remember we posted the Act load screens the other day well this one comes at the other end, in fact it's called 'Diablo 3 End Screen'. For reasons mentioned at the start it's posted after the fold. If you don't like spoilers, whatever you do, do not hit that red button, yes the one taunting you underneath this text.
Although we've seen some pretty brilliant pieces of artwork of his head before this is no less impressive. Cries out to be a back tattoo don't you think?
This has been archived in the Gallery if you want to find it at a later date.

As the title suggests, version control is finally here! (somewhat)…
After doing a lot of research and fiddling with my website via SSH, I managed to set up a subversion repository hosted by my website. I previously tried experimenting by installing Git, but was unable to get it to compile successfully (probably due to permission issues in place on a shared hosting provider, although others on my hosting provider managed to get it working, it involved editing a lot of configurations in the config file, as well as messing with some lines in Makefile).
Since I'm still relatively new to subversion (but not version control as a concept), I've only activated it for my beta web apps that I'm working on. I didn't want to try to set it up for my whole website, not knowing how subversion would work with wordpress and having different branches checked out and posting new updates via wordpress and having to commit them to the repository and such (or make an update with my working copy, commit it, only to have it potentially overwrite something I did in wordpress). Yeah, I could probably get around it by always doing an update before committing, but I may not always remember to do that, and frankly, wordpress is doing just fine w/ its own version control so I don't really NEED it for my entire website.
With this version control system in place, I no longer need to (nor will I) make backups of the projects I'm working on by simply copying the directory somewhere else and appending "01", "02", etc… to the end of it.
Can't wait to get back to focusing on development rather than part development, part "I better copy this in case I screw it up and can't figure out how to get it back to the way it was"
Version control is here!
As the title suggests, version control is finally here! (somewhat)…

It's the end of the first season of one of the strangest dramas ever put on television. I was sort of annoyed with The Leftovers for taking a week off and making me wait, but honestly the breather was probably for the best. This remains absolutely brutal television.
This week the final plans of the Guilty Remnant come to fruition, and I'm going to do my best to describe it without giving too much away. Though the group has been largely enigmatic throughout the course of the season, once we get a look behind the terrible psychological damage that the Departure did to these people you realize the awesome power of pain. Not the least of which is its desire to spread and breed.
I remember having a conversation once with a friend about the Westboro Baptist Church and their hateful, hurtful shenanigans. She asked me, "Who do they think they're going to save doing this?" And I told her, "They don't think they're going to save anyone. They don't want to save anyone. They believe the world has ended and this is Hell. They want us to know that we are living in God's wrath right now."
It's clear from the portrayal of the GR that what they feel is not remorse or loss or even grief. What they feel is rage. They are in utter rage at the world for even daring to consider that this post-Departure existence is not Hell. Every attempt to honor the Departed, to move on, or to somehow make any sense of it at all drives them to increasingly cruel reminders of the terrible day three years ago.
After the Reverend Matt comes to the aid of Sheriff Garvey to help get rid of the body of GR leader Patti following her suicide, the two men have a discussion. Matt tells Kevin that Patti must have wanted to hurt Kevin by slashing her own throat, and that the only way that was possible was if Kevin was a good man.

That's the absolute crux of the show. From day one it's made it clear that there is no discernable pattern to who was taken and who was left back. There were terrible people taken, and there were blameless unborn babies. There were good people left behind, and there were horrible people as well.
In the ensuing madness of the GR's final rampage the makers of the show lay bear a truth no one wants to face; there is no amount of goodness that makes someone immune to tragedy. Objectively we all know it, but emotionally some of us simply cannot handle the fact when presented with something like the Great Departure.
And yet, when all the fires are out, and the wounded tended to, the show leaves us with one last glimmer of hope. New life, and the possibility that a future can be found within that new life.
The Leftovers has been renewed for a second season. Let's see just how well that hop holds up with whatever heart wrenching things are in store next year.

Vancouver AIDS Memorial
Yesterday, on my walk, I took a closer look at the AIDS Memorial just off the seawall past the Inukshuk on English Bay. I really like the way the names are cut out. That way, in the Spring, when the grass is really green, its colour shines through, as you can see in the photos, ever hopeful.
There's a quote by Dr. Peter, the physician who helped people learn more about HIV/AIDS through his video diary carried on CBC Television and who died of AIDS and has a center named after him. His quote says, But the Energy that is Me will Not be Lost. And, he was right, because his name lives on in the form of the Dr. Peter Center.
And, the energy of the others lives on as well...through those who knew them, through memories, through their spirits, through their names on this structure overlooking a beautiful spot in Vancouver...

The actress is just like the rest of us! Emilia Clarke was in attendance at the Solo: A Star Wars Story premiere last night and during interviews, she talked about Game of Thrones but also about her Met Gala experience, more precisely, being in close proximity to someone she really admires.
Clarke revealed that she is a huge fan of none other than Sarah Jessica Parker and sharing a table with her at the annual fashion event really got her to lose her cool.
'Sarah Jessica Parker was at my table, and I freaked out! I was within touching distance of her and Rihanna. I am done, I can die now,' Emilia told E! News.
Clarke's blonde hair reminded us of her Game of Thrones character and hinted that the eighth season is almost here!
'I'm literally filming right now,' the star shared, adding that she will still be wearing a wig even though she has dyed her hair blonde.
Of course, the actress kept any details about the final season under wraps but admitted she is not ready for it to end.
As for what it means to be involved in massive projects like Game of Thrones, she stated: 'I am bouncing between spoiler and spoiler. I am living in a world of big movie-making at the moment, and it is very exciting.'
Clarke also explained that being a role model is something she takes very seriously.
'Take it. Own it. It's yours. Now is your time!' is the message she hopes young girls and women can take from her empowering character on the show.
The final Game of Thrones season will be coming back next year.
