Head Gardener at The Alnwick Garden, Trevor Jones, and the rest of his team are thrilled to welcome their newest team member – robotic mower, the VIKING iMow.
Trevor, Head Gardener at The Alnwick Garden for eight years, was there to watch the iMow being installed at the base of the Garden's renowned Cherry Orchard, where it will quickly and quietly trim the 500m² lawns that are admired by the Garden's 350,000 visitors each year.
The Alnwick Garden, a registered charity that runs a myriad of community events throughout the year, has agreed to trial the iMow as they move into the battery-powered garden tool space – a far quieter, hassle-free form of gardening that will save the team both time and effort.
Trevor says, "Robotic mowers are definitely the future. We have a 12 man team here at Alnwick Garden that are kept extremely busy with the fifty acre site, so any extra help is most welcomed. We're looking forward to seeing how the iMow gets on – it will certainly save us a good couple of hours of mowing each week."
The VIKING iMow is an innovative robotic mower that has opened up a whole new vista of lawn mowing for time-stretched gardeners. Happily mowing up to one acre of lawn, simple intuitive programming means the iMow can avoid obstacles and master even the most complicated of gardens – including the many native trees and much-loved European plants at Alnwick.
The team at VIKING and local dealership, Gustharts, were happy to install the iMow at The Alnwick Garden so the mower could start preparing the lawns for the busy months ahead including the much anticipated world record attempt event that will see thousands of visitors dressed as witches gather at the gardens on Halloween, Saturday 31st October, attempting to break the record for the most witches in one location. There has already been more than 3,500 tickets sold, well exceeding the world record of 1,600 witches in one place.
The VIKING team were also pleased to offer the gardens some further STIHL cordless products to add to Trevor's fleet.
The Alnwick Garden is one of England's most extraordinary contemporary gardens and charities. Visit www.alnwickgarden.co.uk for more information on the garden's upcoming events and visit www.gustharts.com for information on the VIKING iMow.

In order to avoid the lime-light on the surface I determined to spend my 60th birthday underground at Jenolan Caves on Sunday 19th January 2014. The party was 'crashed' by my sisters Mindy and Marguerite with their partners Peter Hay and Cameron Elwin plus the three Elwin children. And it was great fun for all.

Orient Cave - 'Twelve Apostles' at bottom left
The Orient Cave takes 90 minutes to see three enormous chambers from many different vantage points. Named after the exotic points in the Orient, Persia, Egypt and India, these chasms are up to 45 metres high with magnificent adornments including stalagmites, stalactites, columns, flow stone, shawls and all manner of combinations of limestone formations.
By chance my family was visiting Jenolan Caves when President Kennedy was shot in Dallas in November 1963. As a nine year old my memory was more of the change in the adults' behaviour after the newspaper truck arrived about 11.30am when the news went around the public bar where people were having pre-lunch drinks. The caves themselves were the same, of course, after 40 million years ... however, the new LED spotlights and stainless steel railings do make a significant improvement on the old.

Leeds MPs
BALLS, Edward Michael [Ed] (born 1967) Labour. Lecturer and economic journalist.
After lecturing at Harvard and King's College, London, he joined the Financial Times as an economic journalist. In 1994 he became an economic adviser to Gordon Brown, the Shadow Chancellor. Following Labour's landslide victory in 1997 he became the Chief Economic Advisor to the Treasury in which role he was the chair of the IMFC Deputies and UK G20 Deputy. In 2005 he stood successfully for Normanton as the Labour & Co-operative candidate winning 51.2% of the vote and a majority of 10,002. In 2006 he was appointed UK Minister for Financial Services followed in 2007, when Gordon Brown became Prime Minister, Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families. In that capacity he decided to drop SATS tests for 14 year-olds, a move welcomed by most teachers and parents. His constituency disappeared under the Boundary Commission's proposals so he stood for Morley & Outwood in 2010 again as a Labour & Co-operative candidate, winning in a five horse race. When Brown resigned in 2010, he stood for the leadership but came third. His defeat in 2015 to Andrea Jenkyns of the Conservatives by 422 votes, was blamed by many on his close association with Gordon Brown's economic policies.

In a statement on
Nov. 12, Ed Black, president and CEO of the Computer and Communications
Industry Association, applauded Intel for reaching an agreement
with AMD. His trade association has sponsored a print and Web ad
campaign decrying Intel since May after the European Union fined the
Santa Clara, Calif.-based company $1.45 billion for its alleged illegal
business practices. Intel is appealing that decision.
intend to carefully review Intel's follow-on actions, the reactions of
other companies and the various enforcement agencies involved," Black
told The Hill regarding his trade group's ad campaign.
campaign was already put on hold, though, because New York State
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (D) sued Intel earlier this month over
allegedly paying computer manufacturers not to use its rivals' chips.
is a member company of CCIA; Intel is not. Black said not just AMD but
other companies within and outside of his association were worried by
Intel's business practices.
"A number of our members and
companies in the industry have had great concern about Intel's actions,
and their reaction to the settlement needs to be fully understood,"
Black said.
CCIA has a history of confronting tech
companies over alleged anti-competitive behavior. The trade group
jousted with Microsoft when the software company was dealing with the
Justice Department's antitrust division in the late 1990s. In addition,
the trade association called out IBM for its market domination of
mainframe computers in a report released earlier this month regarding
the Social Security Administration's aging IT infrastructure.
settlement could help Intel in resolving other outstanding legal issues
confronting the company. Chuck Malloy, a company spokesman, said Intel
executives plan to meet this week with the FTC, which has opened an
investigation into the company, to discuss its settlement with AMD.
addition, Intel believes the agreement will give it impetus to end more
than 80 class-action lawsuits filed in Delaware against the company
that were based on AMD's complaints. Intel, however, plans to litigate
the antitrust suit brought by Cuomo in New York.
for its antitrust battles, the chipmaker upped its lobbying in
Washington this year. Intel has spent close to $2.9 million on lobbying
in 2009 so far, already beating its 2008 total by roughly $700,000,
according to lobbying disclosure records.
Its K
Street roster has included powerful and well-connected firms, such as
American Continental Group and Cassidy & Associates. It also hired

(D-Calif.), after the November 2008 elections to run its in-house
lobbying team.
Overall, Intel has 10 outside lobbying
groups working for it this year, including five firms, like Franklin
Square Group and Capitol Hill Strategies, that signed up for the
company in this year alone.
AMD is no slouch either on the
lobbying front, though it is not quite in the same league as its rival.
The company could outpace its 2008 lobbying total of $650,000, spending
close to $600,000 thus far this year. Along with its own lobbyists, AMD
has several outside firms, including the Glover Park Group, Navigators
Global and Potomac Counsel working for it.
Those on K Street outside of the battle between Intel and AMD said they believe the billion-dollar settlement will end the dispute. But others suggested it was only a stalemate until the companies run afoul of each other again.

Just as there is no such thing as a Christian porno shop, (though I have heard
some claim such), there is no such thing as Christian Rock-N-Roll. The two
words cannot mix. No more than God can have any fellowship with darkness.
There is such a thing as Holy music unto the Lord! And though it may have
drums and guitars in the music, it's style and spiritual quality will not
resemble the world. You will not find the smoke, lights, dress and loudness of
the music to be anything like the world. For Christians are a holy separate
people unto the Lord.
But we go even deeper than that in our judgement of Christian rock music. For
the music can be mellow and sweet to the ears, but come straight from the pit
of hell. One example is the music of Any Grant. She has sold her royal
birthright for the pleasures and praise of this world. And we have told her
and her pastor so.
As most will know that Any Grant's stage symbol is a leopard jacket. This is
prophetic! God is showing to all discerning Christians what her true nature
"Can the Ethiopian change his skin
the leopard its spot?
Neither can you do good who are accustomed
to doing evil." -Jeremiah 13:23
What must be judged here is not just the music's style but the heart that
sings it. Noting also, that if the heart is right, the style will be also. For
if a tree is good, so is it's fruit.
So many of you clamor that they are attracting people to Jesus by using the
world's music. By becoming a Roman to the Romans. What wicked reasoning that
is! What mis-use of scripture! Shall our church sell Coors on the church
parking lot to attract the non-believers? Shall our Christian sisters dress
like the world in order to pull in the worldly?
It is of the highest darkness to use such reasoning. Jesus said, "be careful
that the light within you is not darkness"! Peter says that Christians who use
worldliness to attract people to Jesus are of the highest caliber of false
"...Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
For they mouth empty, boastful words and,
by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful
human nature they entice people who are just
escaping from those who live in error. They
promise them freedom..." -2 Peter 2:17-19
You have a choice. To hunger and thirst after righteousness. To avoid all
music that is unholy. To refuse to buy records of those who have sold out to
the world. To call others not to go their concerts. Or to compromise.
It is our prayer that you will choose to listen to those who are faithful in
the land. To those that show they love the Lord. And if there be not much
music you can buy or listen to, then so be it. Make "music in your heart" to
the Lord instead! He will be more pleased with that, then the supporting of
those who copy the world in dress, hair and music. God does not support
hypocrisy, and neither should you.
"My eyes will be on the faithful in the
land, that they may dwell with me; he
whose walk is blameless will minister to me.
No one who practices deceit will dwell in
my house..." -Psalm 101:6-7
Only as we stand and speak up for what is holy in the Lord will the steady
downward trend toward the pit of hellish activity be stopped. Write KLTT and
other stations that support such utterly wicked groups as STRYPER. Call your
brothers and sisters to avoid such concerts as Steve Camp, Mylon LaFevor and
Steve Taylor etc. etc.. Put away the Any Grant albums. "Touch no unclean
thing" and God will receive you. Let the faithful be the only ones who
minister to you - FORGET HOW GOOD THEIR WORDS ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's
what makes them so very wicked in God's sight.

"'To the law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this word,
it is because there is no light in them... And they shall look unto the earth;
and behold trouble and darkness; and they shall be driven to darkness.' -
Isaiah 8:20-22
Last night I attended a Christian music festival. I will never forget what
I saw, and can truly say was a heartbreaking experience. Since leaving the
concert I have been weeping for hours, groaning in the Spirit, feeling the
wrath of a holy God burning against what I saw.
I went to the festival because the 'star performer' featured last night had
been in my office just hours before, crying, telling me how much he loved
Jesus, how sincere he was, how he wanted to learn more about holiness. He told
me my written messages convicted him. His words sounded right-his attitude
seemed humble. At his request I went to hear him and his group because he
assured me I would not be offendd.
My heart is now so set on the massive human need in New York City, and my
great concerns now have to do with rescuing lost souls from drugs, alcohol and
demon possession. I DID NOT WANT TO GET INVOLVED ANYMORE IN THE MATTER OF ROCK
AND ROLL, HEAVY METAL, AND PUNK MUSIC IN THE CHURCH. I felt I had said enough
on the subject and I told the musician so when he sat in my office. We have
prayed together and I hugged him when he left my office.
I went last night with an open heart, full of love and compassions - for
him, for all Christian musicians, and especially for the 3,000 or so young
people attending the festival. I sat through two devotional-type songs, then I
sat attentively listening as the musician testified about what he said Christ
had done in his life. No preacher anywhere could have spoken with more
conviction and sincerity - the words were right. He spoke of separation, of
being obedient to Jesus, of winning souls, of prayer, of holy matrimony [he
was married], of living a holy life. I prayed as he spoke, 'Dear Lord, maybe I
misjudged this musician and his hard rock group. Maybe you ARE doing something
new in using the music the ungodly prefer, to win them - to get their
attention, to attract them so they can be ministered to. Lord, I am willing to
rejoice in hearing You preached, in any manner, from any group - if You are
present in it - if your Holy Spirit is blessing it.
I was honestly questioning if my writings about the MUSIC OF DEVILS in
God's house were just old-fashioned prejudices or simply my distaste for rock
music. Was it just so much fuss about nothing? Yet something was not quite
right. There was an inner tug at my heart making me ill at ease. I reasoned,
'If Satan is camouflaged in this somehow, if there is leaven of evil - it will
be revealed. Satan always reveals himself in one way or another.'
Suddenly the singer yelled in the microphone, 'JESUS IS COMING - HE IS
GOING TO CRACK THE SKIES - GET READY!' The song was entitled, 'CRACK THE
SKIES'. Suddenly smoke was billowing out of smoke machines, the pounding beat
was turned up to a frenzied pitch, eerie lights began flashing, the musicians
stood like phantoms rising from a murky swamp. It was ghostly, weird, strange-
and the crowd went wild - they seemed to love it. At the same festival, a wild
spiked hair group had entertained - with painted faces, prancing about like
homosexual peacocks.
At first, I couldn't believe what I was seeing on stage. I said out loud,
'This can't be happening at a Christian festival - they can't do this to my
Jesus! These people can't be this blind - the leaders of this youth ministry
can't be so undiscerning! Oh God - what has happened to your church that its
leaders, it people, can't see the evil of this abomination?
Suddenly I was on the ground, on my back, weeping and sobbing, and groaning
in the Spirit. I sat up and took another look at the stage. I WAS HORRIFIED BY
SATAN LAUGHING! Laughing at all the blind parents - the blind shepherds - the
blind youth-the backslidden church! It was an overt manifestation of Satan -
worse than anything I've ever seen on the streets of New York.
I stood to my feet, literally shaking with the fear of God - consumed with
a sense of His holy wrath against such wickedness. I rushed into the crowd
crying at the top of my voice - ICHABOD! {The glory of the Lord has departed!}
ICHABOD! I ran through the crowd, pushing aside chairs, weeping, shouting at
the top of my voice, 'Ichabod-this is satanic! Stop! God is grieved!' I was
mostly ignored and I think most thought I was a crazy lunatic. I doubt anybody
knew who I was - the musicians could not hear me, and the crowd was too tight
to allow me near the stage. I wanted to get to a microphone and cry like an
Elijah -'THIS IS VOMIT ON THE TABLE OF THE LORD! WHO ARE YOUR TEACHERS, THAT
I will not shut up this matter! I will not be silent while multitudes of
our Christian youth are being deceived by smooth-talking wolves in sheep's
clothing! True love demands that the truth be told.
What hurt my spirit the most, and what is so hard for me to understand, is
that this particular group, and many others, attend Pentecostal churches. The
musician I refer to told me he gave up drugs, drinking, evil sex and rock and
roll performing when he got saved. He cut his long, feminine hair, he
quit dressing like an exhibitionist and began to change all his ways. It was a
pastor who encouraged him to 'quit looking so square and use rock and roll to
reach the kids'. A teacher, in his sixties, travels on occasion with them,
teaching them and encouraging them in their evil methods. According to their
teacher, rock and roll is going to be the 'normal music in all Pentecostal and
evangelical churches'.
It's now the middle of the night and I can't sleep! I can't stop weeping
inside. I am shut in with God in my study diligently asking Him to show me
what is happening, because hours ago I saw a few thousand young Christians,
with uplifted hands, thinking it was Jesus, when it was most assuredly the
devil. HAS THE CHURCH - OR WHAT MAN CALLS THE CHURCH - SO BACKSLIDDEN THAT
THERE IS NO MORE DISCERNMENT WHATSOEVER? Has God given up on some who are set
on bringing devilish practices into the realm of worship?
NOW I WONDER - 'WHO DARES TEACH SUCH JESUS - a Jesus who winks at
deception? How blatantly they are mislearning Jesus Christ! WHAT JESUS ARE
'But Ye Have Not So Learned Christ'
[Ephesians 4:20]
Thatis what Paul said in his letter to the Ephesians. He was warning them
not to walk as some do 'in the vanity [pride] of their mind' (Ephesians 4:17).
He warned of those learned Christ in a perverted way, because their
understanding was darkened. They were 'cut off from the life of God through
the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart'
(Ephesians 4:18).
Some teacher, some shepherd, had MISTAUGHT JESUS CHRIST to them. The Christ
they learned was not the Christ of God, the Lord of holiness, the master of
purity. While they speak so sweetly of Jesus, and weep when they mention the
name, and tell of a hunger to walk in the ways of Christ - Paul said of them,
they 'ARE PAST FEELING AND HAVE GIVEN THEMSELVES OVER UNTO LASCIVIOUSNESS
[lustfulness], TO WORK ALL UNCLEANNESS WITH GREEDINESS' [Ephesians 4:19].
That is what I saw last night at the music festival - a group of musicians
who were pied pipers, leading many young people right into the arms of Satan
with their smooth words about Jesus, about celebrating forgiveness - then with
an energy of flesh and carnal greediness hard to fathom - they put their stamp
of approval on paganism right out of the devil's treasury. They were saying,
by their music and their worldly, ghastly performance - that Jesus and the
garbage of this world are compatible. They wore two masks -one of sincere
followers of Christ, the other of performing clowns. With their faces lifted
up to God, they cursed Him by their blasphemous mockery. Isaiah prophesied of
such, '...they shall curse their king and their God, and look upward' [Isaiah
8:21]. What they preach and practice are two different gospels.
They are deceived, and consequently they are deceivers themselves. They
have MISLEARNED CHRIST! They have been duped, manipulated and cheated! They
should have had a pastor or teacher with enough Holy Ghost discernment, with
enough devotion to the true and holy Lord - to WARN THEM TO SHOW THEM that God
does not put up with holding on to the old man and the old carnal ways. Why
didn't their shepherds discern that these boys were walking in ignorance and
spiritual blindness, not understanding the true demands of Christ? Why wasn't
their greed dealt with - not so much for money and fame, but a greed that
would not let go of the very thing that once led them into drugs and
emptiness. It's all coming out now - that these groups are falling on all
sides, going back to the secular crowd, back to cocaine, back to groupies -
playing the part of hypocrites and gospel phonies. Their shepherds are so
easily conned, because they are blind in every way. Paul said it right, 'For
it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.'
[Ephesians 5:12]. They very music they perform drives them back to darkness.
Now - it's probably too late! They have rejected the reproof of prophets
and watchmen who really preach the truth! They are like those Paul warns
about, who have become so lost in spiritual ignorance and blindness, they are
confirmed in their worldly ways! They are so blind they believe they are
honoring Christ and blessing multitudes of youth the church 'can't reach'.
Sin-Soft Preachers Are Driving
This Generation Into Darkness
'...they shall be driven to darkness...' [Isaiah 8:22]
I blame their smooth talking, sin-soft shepherds. Those same shepherds must
one day stand before Christ's judgement seat and answer -not only for the
musicians under their care - but for all the Christian young people they in
turn have hurt and destroyed. Without flinching, I declare that cowardly
ministers, those who want to be loved and honored rather than rejected for
preaching truth, are driving this generation into deep spiritual darkness.
We would not be facing a generation of backslidden, pleasure-loving,
worldly minded youth in our churches - youth who do not even know the
commandments of a holy Christ - IF WE HAD MORE HOLY BOLD PREACHERS AND
I am not accusing all preachers and teachers -thank God for the few who
still do not cower to the crowd or compromise for the sake of numbers and
success. Maybe the youth won't listen to those who cry out against their
lusting after the world - but when the judgements accelerate - they will turn
to the preachers of holiness for a sure word from God.
There is filth in Zion, and strangers have been exalted in the house of God
- by blind, compromised, undiscerning Christian leaders. They are calling
evil good, and the counsel of a righteous God is lightly esteemed. Hearts are
hardening, ears are closing, eyes are being shut -because pride and flesh and
ungodly entertainment is grieving the Holy Spirit right out of His temple.
Isaiah warned, '...their root shall be rottenness, ...because they have
cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One
of Israel. Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people...'
[Isaiah 5:24-25].
Hell must be ecstatic at the spectacle of ministers not just abdicating to
the immoral music standards of the young - but actually promoting. Who brings
these worldly bent groups into the church for concerts? Who encourages the
youth to embrace the music of devils? Who ridicules evangelists and prophets
and watchmen who cry out against it? Who puts it on radio, TV. and who
promotes the concerts and festivals that are now degenerating into SATANIC
SHOWCASES? It is the pastors, youth ministers, Christian radio and TV. station
owners and managers. They will all live to see the wicked harvest of their
soft gospel and compromise - as their very own children fall away to the
spirit of this age.
Webster's Twentieth Century Dictionary defines whoredom as 'the desertion
of the worship of God for the worship of idolatry'. A whoremonger is ONE WHO
PROCURES OR PROMOTES IT. Any spiritual leader who procures or promotes this
idolatrous desertion of true worship is truly a WHOREMONGER. And Paul state
emphatically, 'No whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an
idolater, has any inheritance in he kingdom of Christ of God.' [Ephesians
Young people - don't listen to the whoremongers -listen instead to the
apostle Paul who warned, 'Let no man [even preachers] deceive you with vain
[empty] words; for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the
children of disobedience. BE YE NOT THEREFORE PARTAKERS WITH THEM' {Ephesians
Reprove Them!
'And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
REPROVE THEM' [Eph. 5:11]
All spiritual work that is tainted with the least bit of darkness, God
calls UNFRUITFUL WORKS! This refutes the big lie of the devil being promoted
by the pushers of the 'new wave' music, which argues, 'But it can't be of the
devil. Look at all the kids getting saved! Listen to their wonderful
testimonies. They really reach the youth - many are getting saved. They speak
in a way the kids understand - they glorify Christ in their speech.'
God never has judged a work by the results. No one is more successful in
holding converts than the Muslims. No church is richer than the Vatican. The
Jehovah Witnesses claim to be winning multitudes to Christ.
God judges everything by LIGHT! That means, by how godly, how Christ-like-
by how clear, how pure, how transparent it is. He repudiates and spits out of
His mouth all that has even been part dark. John saw the Holy City descending
out of the heaven from God, having the glory of God. That is a holy people, a
bride adorned and prepared for the Bridegroom. Its main characteristic is
this: 'Her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper
stone, clear as crystal' [Revelation 21:11].
Whatever is of God is CLEAR AS CRYSTAL! It is holiness so pure, it is
translucent as pure jasper stone. Those who are numbered in this holy Zion,
this New Jerusalem coming down from God - have all STEPPED OUT INTO THE LIGHT!
There is no darkness in them at all - they have been translated into His
light! They walk in the light - they hate darkness - they reprove it wherever
it appears. The enemy has come into religious circles to destroy what is pure
and clear by introducing a pagan element that creates a shadow or film. If
Satan can inject the slightest degree of error, or evil leaven, he knows the
Holy Spirit will draw back because of a grieving. That is why no mixture-no
shadow of dark paganism must be permitted in Christ's church.
Also, the Bible speaks of EVERY SEED YIELDING AFTER ITS OWN KIND [Genesis
1:12]. An evil seed produces evil fruit, often not recognized until maturity.
The rock and roll "prophets" of this generation are yielding a seed after
their own kind - a seed that will one day bring forth a fruit that will wither
and die. Jude makes that very clear, '...these feed themselves without fear:
clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees WHOSE FRUIT
WITHERETH, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots." [Jude 12].
What of the good sounding testimonies, the sincere and convincing
sermonettes? Paul has the answer. 'Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on
those who cause dissensions and HINDRANCES contrary to the teaching which you
learned, and TURN AWAY FROM THEM... For such men are slaves, not of our Lord
Jesus Christ but of THEIR OWN APPETITES; and BY THEIR SMOOTH AND FLATTERING
SPEECH THEY DECEIVE THE HEARTS OF THE UNSUSPECTING." [Romans 16:17-18 NAS]
Oh how God's people need discernment. Great deceptions about every where,
not only regarding the rock and punk music of the young, but also in regard to
new forms of worship and praise being promoted. Some of it is born of the Holy
Spirit, but much is born of the flesh - and only those who walk in the light
know the difference.
There is a revival of worship and praise in he land today, and much focus
on prayer, intercession and new revelation. There is no question about there
being more and more Christians standing for an hour or two - with great
congregations singing and praising loudly. There are smiles, laugher, joy,
hand clapping, upraised hands, dancing - never in modern times has there been
a GREATER SHOUT IN THE CAMP.
Thank God for those in the camp who worship in Spirit and truth - who can
lift clean hands and who have pure hearts - who come before His holiness with
broken heart and contrite spirit. If they are walking in holiness, trembling
at God's Word, repentant and free from the bondage of sin -it is a glorious
and acceptable offering unto the Lord. God does inhabit the praises of His
people -but only if those people are walking in practical righteousness.
But There Is a Shout Which is
Shallow and Meaningless!
There is the shout of the overcomer and the shout of the idolater - and we
had better know the difference. The Lord commanded Moses to 'Go, get thee
down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have
corrupted themselves: they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I
commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it'
[Exodus 32:7-8].
As Moses and Joshua approached the camp of Israel, Joshua 'heard the noise
of the people as they shouted...' [v 17]. But it was not the shout of those
who had overcome the enemy. The true shepherd Moses, having come fresh from
the very presence of God's holiness - could easily discern that the GREAT
SHOUT coming from the Lord's chosen people was not pure. Something as
terribly wrong - it did not ring of the holiness of God.
Moses said, 'It is not the voice of them that shout from mastery, neither
is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them
that sing do I hear' [Exodus 32:18]
That's all it was, MEANINGLESS, SHALLOW NOISE -but an abomination in the
ears of a holy God. They had no right to sing; their hearts were lusting
after an idol. Their hearts were given to pleasure and fun. They stood before
a golden calf - and it the name of the Lord offered burnt offerings. The
people 'sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play..' [Exodus 32:6]
I received many letters from Christians whom I know have come through the
school of Christ. They have come through much suffering and spiritual warfare
to a place in God where nothing else matters but knowing Him in fullness. They
were driven by such deep hunger for God, they began to thirst for Christ as
'the heart that panteth after water'. They tell me how out of place they feel
in these great assemblies where the shout in the camp goes forth. It all looks
good, and on the surface sounds good. But they can't enter in, because they
discern something is basically wrong. They can't even explain it - the Spirit
of God within them will not let them partake of it. They discern some kind of
unspeakable darkness - something subtle, yet ominous about all the flesh that
accompanies the singing, shouting, and dancing. It is almost too professional,
too put on, too carnal. They leave, thinking to themselves, 'Is it me - is
there something wrong with me? Am I too judgmental? Why am I not comfortable
amidst all this singing and dancing?
Those who have STEPPED OUT INTO THE LIGHT can easily discern the shadow of
darkness. They will not be fooled by false shouting, false dancing, false
worship, or false praying.
True Zion saints REJOICE WITH TREMBLING! {Psalm 2:11} They know that
gladness belongs only to the 'upright in heart' [Psalm 97:11]. They can sing
and dance when the Spirit moves them, but with David they can say, 'Zion
heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah REJOICED BECAUSE OF THY
JUDGEMENTS, O LORD' [Psalm 97:8]. Zion saints, 'GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD AT
THE REMEMBRANCE OF HIS HOLINESS' [Psalm 97:12]
No punk or rock or phony shouting and praise for those walking in the
light. They praise Him for both His goodness and because they tremble at His
great and terrible name.
'The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high about all the people... Let the
people tremble... LET THEM PRAISE THEY GREAT AND TERRIBLE NAME; FOR IT IS
HOLY' [Psalm 99:1-3]

They call it demon rock 'n' roll. Many preachers have said it is Satan's
tool for catching teens off guard with a beat that drives them into a sexual
frenzy. Some have led crusades, burned albums and picketed concerts.
They are faced with one of the hottest trends in music: Christian heavy-
metal and hard-rock bands, whose voices and guitars screech and wail for Jesus
Christ. "All we heard for years from the pulpit was how bad rock 'n' roll
was," said Robert Sweet, 25, the long-haired drummer for Stryper, a Christian
band from Los Angeles, whose members dress in skintight black and yellow body
suits and thick metal chains. "Well, how many people are going to eat their
words this year? God created rock 'n' roll. Satan cannot create - he can only
twist and distort it and make it junk. The first time you catch Stryper with a
beer in their hands or their faces in cocaine, then you'll have a case. But
until then, we're innocent until proven guilty."
Despite a nonstop wave of protest from ministers and parents, Sweet's
group is one of more than 100 Christian rock bands that have sprung up, Taking
names like the Resurrection Band, Barnabas, Jerusalem and Servant. For the
uninitiated, retailers like Dickson's Bible and Book Store in Royal Oak post a
chart that lists each group and compares its sound to a secular group such as
the Kinks, Cheap Trick, Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. But lyrically - and in concert
- the Christian and secular groups are worlds apart. "Feeling so distressed
tonight, Jesus are you there, could we talk a little while, I heard you really
care," sings the Resurrection Band from Chicago, which ends its live Bootleg
album by urging fans to give their lives to Jesus. Other groups have an altar
call, or station counselors near exits to talk to troubled teens. Stryper
members sing about their wild appearance - "No matter how we look, we always
praise His name. And if you you believe, you got to do the same" - and throw
100 to 200 New Testament Bibles out to the crowd. "One guy was so anxious to
get one," said Sweet, "that he broke his arm."
Sue Weldon, a 15-year-old from Troy, said she recently brought her NON-
CHRISTIAN friend to Pine Knob to hear Petra, the best selling Christian rock
group. "She became a Christian at the end of the concert," said Sue, twisting
a strand of her permed brown hair. "She went up to one of the counselors and
has joined a church now. She really thought it was great." Stephen Wyss of
Royal Oak, a 22-year-old senior at Lawrence Institute of Technology, said he
owns 72 Christian music albums. "The main difference is what they sing about
and their lifestyle," he said. "When Michael Jackson was really popular,
everyone wanted to be like him. Well, with these groups getting more popular,
kids can see how good it is to be a Christian, and they will have a model to
follow." "You're not going to reach heavy metal people with pop music. You
have different types of evangelists because you have different types of
Though they have been around for about 10 years, most Christian rock
groups have just begun to take off, riding on the powerful wings of Christian
contemporary artists like Amy Grant, the first Christian singer to appear on
"mainstream" music charts. Ms. Grant recently became the best selling artist
in Christian music history when her last two albums went gold ($1 million in
sales) and platinum (one million albums sold). Her success in the secular
market has been followed by Petra - which is the Greek word for rock - whose
seven albums have outsold all other Christian rock groups combined with total
sales of more than $1 million.
Stryper, a Los Angeles group which will soon tour the nation, recently
sold 40,000 of its newly released singles in one day. It has already received
advance orders for nearly 100,000 copies of its newest album, which has not
even been released. Such figures do not compare with those of secular artists
like Michael Jackson and Prince. But they are considered phenomenal by
industry observers, because major secular radio stations still refuse to play
Christian music, citing the songs' emphasis on evangelism. "It's only been in
the last few years that Christian hard rock has made any inroads into the
mainstream market," said Bob Darden, who writes about Christian music for
Billboard magazine. "That's because it's only been in the last few years that
the caliber of the music has caught up with mainstream music. There's no
reason kids should see a bad Christian group if they can see a good secular
group. So the Christians have gotten better." But Darden is critical of the
"bad, trite" lyrics by many of the groups who, for instance, try to cram the
story of the resurrection into a three minute song. And John Styll, editor-in-
chief of Contemporary Christian magazine, said many of the artists have been
content to copy the music style of mainstream artists and just add religious
lyrics, instead of forging new ground. He also predicted that they will never
have the success enjoyed by the mainstream counter parts. "It's not in the
cards," Styll said. "To most people, contemporary Christian music is about as
appealing as contemporary Bahai music. They'll just think, 'Oh, that's for
them.' The gospel is offensive to people. It will never achieve the popularity
that sin does." To Ministers who spend a lot of time preaching about the
dangers of sin, the subject of rock music still draws a lot of fire. "It is a
device of the devil," said the Rev. Samuel Peterson, pastor of Faith Temple
Church of God in Madison Heights. "In my church, I don't allow it. Unless the
ear is educated to it, you can't hear the lyrics. What good is the message if
you can't hear it? And it grates on my nerves, whether it's Christian or not.
It's like having someone scream in my ear. The beat is very physical, driving
and compelling. It compels your nervous system until it drowns out your brain.
I can't find a better word than 'torment.'" But the Rev. Paul Patton,
assistant pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in Livonia, encourages young people
to listen to Christian rock music. "If anyone has an ear for that type of
music," he said, "I'd prefer they hear lyrical content that wasn't sexist or
has that macho mentality that is so much a part of the heavy metal scene.
They're reaching an audience that most of their critics know nothing about.
They are touching lives and challenging values that people in mainstream music
Stryper's Robert Sweet said the group's success (its fan club has 10,000
members) indicates it can stand on its own from secular groups. But, he said,
it has not been easy. "It takes a lot of guts to be in rock 'n' roll and
stand up for Jesus," he said. "What field of work are you more tempted in?
Here I am, a single guy who has professed to TV stations and newspapers that
I'm saving myself for the right woman. And every time I play, I'm confronted
by 10 to 20 beautiful women. It's real tempting. And we can get all the free
drugs and alcohol we want." "But the more you do God's work, the more the
devil tempts you. So we just pray harder. Stryper wants to walk into the most
heavy-metal, hard rock, drug abusing, blinded-eyes kind of situation and say,
'Look, this is a dark room and the light is walking in.'"
Among the 500 to 600 fans who write Stryper each week are those who thank
the group for helping them overcome struggles with alcohol, homosexuality or
depression. "We tell them don't thank us, thank Jesus," said Sweet, whose
mother manages the band and whose brother, Michael, is the lead singer. "I
remember one night, a guy called me at 10 p.m. crying. He was a stranger, but
I felt like I should go visit him. He was a 24-year-old guy dying of cerebral
palsy. He had Stryper stickers all over his wheelchair." "I prayed with him
and he asked me if he could buy a Stryper jacket. I had mine on and gave it to
him. When he got my jacket, tears were streaming down his face and he told his
mom, 'When I die, I want to be buried in this. When I stand in front of God, I
want him to see me wearing something that's good, that's right.'" "When those
things happen, it lets us know that we're more than just a rock band."

I saw the article below posted on a colleague's social media. It failed to crush my spirit. Instead, it toppled a readily unstable wall of silence and made way for new construction…
10 Ways to crush the morale of priests
First, from the tone of this article, it sounded like the writer needed a vacation. Second, it promotes a limited, pre-conciliar mis-informed theology that neglects the presence of Christ in the Word and in the assembly. Finally, it simply doesn't seem accurate to me.
Priests aren't the only pastoral leaders whose spirits get crushed from time to time. The sources of heavy discouragement are usually not the kinds of so-called liturgical abuses mentioned in the Aleteia article. Most of the time the discouragement comes in the form of small remarks raised in passing
As an un-vowed, unmarried woman, I appear fully available for conversation at all times. Social functions, dinners, parties and after-mass chit chat can be fun sometimes, but often they are awkward and overwhelming. I gave up drinking many years ago, so the only thing I can do to "loosen up" is show up late and leave early. I also eat very clean, and most social functions only have items in the buffet that I would use for building a scale model of the Taj Mahal with a spork on Chinet. Furthermore, my idea of 'light conversation,' usually involves some reference to Hart-Seller, the history of the Rite of Penance, or my newest obsession with pneumatic shuttle systems. I don't do small talk, only big talk, often about deep and heavy things. Ask me about the weather, I'll tell you about my latest disaster contingency plan, and I'll pull up the diagram on my smartphone which shows you where I stashed all the Cento canned caponata in the basement of my house.
I have come to avoid these social situations whenever possible. Often, they become forums for parishioners to express valid dissatisfaction with one area or another of parish life. If I'm in a position to address the area, its difficult for me to keep track while trying to figure out a way to configure the food on my plate to make it look like I've eaten. If I'm not in a position to help, its difficult to say that in a friendly social atmosphere. At these kinds of events, all I really want to do is eat an avocado, maybe a piece of chocolate and break out my Napoleon Dynamite style dance moves.
One of my awesome coworkers once advised me that whenever a concern is raised, it should only be presented with a possible solution.
So here is my concern:
grabbing my ear and complaining about music at mass or the lack of altar servers while I'm trying to reconstruct a UNESCO World Heritage Site from string beans on my plate at the potluck dinner is veritably crushing my spirit.
And my solution:
When you see me at the next Beef & Beer, ask me if I want to dance. Teach me how to Lindy- I still don't know how. In the words of Chaka Khan, tell me something good. Tell me an appropriate, kid-friendly joke. Talk to me about the Yankees, or the Phillies or the Brooklyn Dodgers. I know nothing about baseball, but I'm happy to hear about your passion. Show me pictures of your grandchildren. Tell me about your dissertation or your recent trip to Macchu Picchu.
Before raising a complaint, take your time and determine where you fit into the equation. If you don't like the music at mass, think about what you can do, personally, to make it better. Maybe it just means singing louder. Maybe it means stepping up your guitar skills so you can join an ensemble. Maybe your concern about the lack of altar servers means offering time to help train some new ones.
Then, instead of presenting your concern while I'm demolishing the leaning tower of cucumber slices (yay, finally something to eat that won't give me 3 days of stomach cramps,) call me in my office around 2pm on Monday. Bring up your concern and your proposed solution. If we decide to move forward, show up for a meeting, bring a friend or two. I promise I will give you the tools or training to support your initiative.
I'm really grateful for the wonderful people who understand all this. There are a few of them in our parish. When I run into them at the gym, sometimes they ask about my weekend and listen. Other times, they say "hi," and keep walking. There are a few others who are great people to have at the table because they know their lives are interesting (which they are) and they tell great stories that have nothing to do with the problems we are trying to solve in the parish office. If you are one of them and you are reading this, thank you for building up our team! We hope that we can do the same for you!

10 Facts About Deserts That You Might Find Hard To Believe
A desert is a barren region of land where very little precipitation happens and as a consequence living conditions are unfriendly for animal and plant life. The absence of vegetation exposes the ground surface to the denudation processes. About 1/3 of the land surface of the world is semi-dry or dry. It includes most of the polar areas where little precipitation happens and that are occasionally called cold deserts or polar deserts. This list contains 10 facts about deserts that you might find hard to believe.
Telephone Booth
A telephone booth was placed in California's Mojave Desert in the 1960s for no obvious reason at all. It was 15 miles from the nearest buildings and paved roads.
A young boy named Hadara was separated from his parents in the Sahara desert at two years of age and was raised by ostriches for a period of 10 years.

I wonder how many people actually have read all twenty-one pages of the 'Publican party's new "Pledge to America." It's an extraordinary document — not in its ideas, which are just the same old shit, but in its rhetoric. Read just the introduction, and you will hear the 'Publicans yelling, "Hey! Tea Party crazies! Lookie here! The Republican Establishment is on your side!"
"America is an idea – an idea that free people can govern themselves, that government's powers are derived from the consent of the governed, that each of us is endowed by their [sic] Creator with the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. America is the belief that any man or woman can – given economic, political, and religious liberty – advance themselves [sic], their [sic] families, and the common good."
Apart from the grammatical errors, it sounds rather like the Declaration of Independence. Hmmm... Did the Declaration of Independence mention "economic liberty?" Well, yes, in a way. There is a strong inference that only an elected government should have the power to tax. Was the current government elected? Uhhh... Hey, can anybody remember back as far as 2008?
"An unchecked executive, a compliant legislature, and an overreaching judiciary have combined to thwart the will of the people and overturn their votes and their values, striking down longstanding laws and institutions and scorning the deepest beliefs of the American people."
The last "unchecked executive" I can recall was the Bush/Cheney administration, which rammed through the totally unnecessary Iraq war by telling not-especially-believable lies to asshole Democratic senators afraid to appear "soft on terrorism." The legislature Obama has had to work with has not been especially compliant, thanks to the "Party of No." As for an overreaching judiciary, well... think "Citizens United."
"Like free peoples of the past, our citizens refuse to accommodate a government that believes it can replace the will of the people with its own. The American people are speaking out, demanding that we realign our country's compass with its founding principles and apply those principles to solve our common problems for the common good."
Sadly, that's not happening. Democrat or 'Publican, the plutocracy remains firmly in control. As Lefty Frizzel advised us in 1950, "If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time." Well, if I have the time, honey, I'll get on with the money aspects of the "Pledge to America" in a future post.

While there are cases when a transmission will completely fail without warning, there are usually signs that will start to make themselves known well before that happens. You just have to know what to look for. The reason it is so important for you to know what to look for is because you can then have a transmission specialist take a look at the problem and fix it before you have to resort to buying a brand new transmission. After all, it is generally more affordable to fix your transmission than it is to have it completely replaced.
The Transmission Is Leaking Fluid
It does not matter if it is only a small amount of transmission fluid, you will want to make sure that you are taking that sign of trouble seriously and having it checked out by a professional. If you decide to drive your vehicle to the mechanic's shop, you should first check the level of the transmission fluid and top it off if it is a little low. If you are losing a lot of transmission fluid, you should simply call for a tow truck because you don't want to drive the vehicle without transmission fluid due to the risk involved.
There Are Delays In Engagement
If you put your vehicle into drive and go to take off, does your vehicle swiftly go into motion every time without fail or a delay? If not, then you likely have a problem with your transmission. It is a good idea to make sure that you are taking your vehicle to a transmission expert and explain to him or her whether it is something that happens all of the time, only some of the time, or only when you are switching into a specific gear. This information can help the mechanic know what he or she should start looking for. The more information that is given, the easier it might be for the repairs to be made quickly.
If you happen to notice any of those signs of trouble, or something else that causes you to feel concerned about the condition of your transmission, you will want to take it in for auto repair work, such as at Felix's Auto Repair & Towing, as soon as possible. Do make sure that you are using a reputable transmission repair shop in your area so you will not have to worry about the quality of work that will be done to your vehicle.Share

Are you ready for some football? I know I am. It all gets started tonight as the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots look to put a controversial off-season behind them against the high-powered Steelers. I like New England tonight. However, instead of picking individual games this week, here are my season preview and predictions. The AFC is up first.
Division winners:
New England- Their division rivals have all gotten much better. However, a full year of Brady and Belichick is good enough for me. They will not have the division wrapped up by Halloween like they typically do, but they will get the job done. The Patriots are as good as any team in sports when it comes to replacing players, but their chances of a Super Bowl repeat are hurt by the loss of both their big physical corners, Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner in free agency.
Indianapolis- Everyone else likes Indy much more than I do. They are competing with Houston, Tennessee, and Jacksonville for their division. Jacksonville will be better than people think. Despite that, I am fairly certain that if you replaced Colts with Ohio State, the Buckeyes would win this division going away. There is no doubt Andrew Luck is amazing. However, the offensive line is still below average and acquisitions like veteran RB Frank Gore and WR Andre Johnson would have been great in 2008. The current versions of Gore and Johnson are not a significant upgrade over what they had last year. While the defense has some of the best players you have never heard of like CB Vontae Davis and LB Jerrell Freeman, the Colts are exactly what they have been for most of the last 20 years. A really average team in a bad division with a great quarterback. The QB's name has changed from Manning to Luck. That is about it. Talk of this team doing anything more than winning one playoff game is ridiculous.
Denver- In the interest of full disclosure, for those of you who do not know already, the Broncos are my favorite team and have been since I was about five. Yes, Peyton Manning is 39 and he fell apart at the end of last year, but John Elway has done all he can to give Manning what I feel is the best team he has ever been on. Look for new coach Gary Kubiak to have a much more balanced offense than the pass happy mess that got the Broncos into trouble late last year. I feel C.J. Anderson is the kind of back that will allow the Broncos to play "smash mouth" football when needed and take some pressure off of the aging QB. He also allows Kubiak to have Peyton line up under center more and call a wider variety of run plays. The weapons are still there at receiver and new tight end Owen Daniels should fit nicely. The defense got a great pass rush all last year. Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware are back. So, that will not change. They will ultimately be judged on what happens in the playoffs, but thoughts of this franchise completely falling off a cliff this year are a major overreaction.
Baltimore- In a conference where all the major contenders have big questions, the Ravens do not. They are well coached and have a solid run game and defense. Also, they have this generation's best road QB this side of Tom Brady in Joe Flacco. They are the safest bet in the NFL to be around in January.
Kansas City- Expect this team to still be built around running the ball with Jamaal Charles and short and quick passes that play to Alex Smith's strengths, but one free agent signing has made this team much more dangerous. Speedy wide receiver Jeremy Macklin will be able to take the top off of defenses and go deep once in a while. No one knows how to use him better than Chiefs coach Andy Reid who also had Macklin in Philly. The defense is about the steadiest you will find in the league. They are a real threat to end Denver's streak of five straight AFC West titles. Even though I do not see that happening, they are very capable of reaching the playoffs and maybe knocking someone off on the road.
Buffalo- I am tormented by what to do with this team, but I have decided I really believe in Rex Ryan. They have added a ton of talent with Lesean McCoy, Charles Clay, and Percy Harvin. Should these three injury prone ball carriers and pass catchers stay healthy, Buffalo will cause problems for anyone. They have arguably the best defense in the league. All they need is decent, not great quarterback play. Despite the GM saying that they were in "a quarterback purgatory" in training camp, I saw enough good things from former Virginia Tech option quarterback and career NFL back up Tyrod Taylor in the preseason to convince me that Buffalo will make the playoffs for the first time since 1999. My conference champ will be revealed later. Now, on to the NFC.
Division winners:
Seattle- They are the defending conference champs for a reason. Their defense will not be as invincible if defensive back Kam Chancellor's holdout lingers into the regular season, but they are still plenty good enough to decimate opponents. The human magician that is Russell Wilson is still at the helm of the offense, but make no mistake this offense is still centered around tailback Marshawn Lynch. Combine that with the fact that the Seahawks were able to add a weapon like TE Jimmy Graham and the level of talent on this roster goes from outrageous to unfair.
Dallas- I would argue that the Cowboys were screwed out of a potential trip to the Super Bowl in Green Bay last year. Yes, they lost DeMarco Murray. However, that offensive line is good enough to make any running back at least serviceable. The return of a field general like linebacker Sean Lee on defense cannot be overstated. Also, fans just have to accept that Tony Romo is really good. Dez Bryant and Jason Witten are still around. So, Romo will be really good again.
Green Bay- They lost WR Jordy Nelson for the year in the preseason and are average on defense. Only one thing matters though. They have Aaron Rodgers, the other teams in the division do not.
Carolina- Honestly, I have no clue about this division. The Panthers won it last year with a losing record. It could happen again this year. I could see any one of the four teams winning it, even Tampa, but Carolina has the best defense and Cam Newton finished last year really strong.
NY Giants- Speaking of finishing last year strong, no one did that better than the Giants. They were scoring 30+ points a game over the final month of the season. This will be the first year we get to see Odell Beckham Jr. and Victor Cruz healthy and on the same field. That has defensive coordinators everywhere wetting the bed. With the experience and track record of head coach Tom Coughlin and QB Eli Manning, they will be a force year and can win on the road in the playoffs.
Arizona- Where would this team have ended up last year with a decent and healthy QB? We will never know. Carson Palmer is back this year and healthy. The Cards are rock solid everywhere and do not beat themselves.
Conference Champs: Baltimore, NY Giants
Super Bowl: Baltimore

Reflex Bearer – Acoustic Batten for Soundproofing Timber Floors
Reflex Bearer Acoustic Battens contribute significantly to the reduction of impact and airborne sound on level timber or lightweight steel constructions and on concrete subfloors in new build and refurbishment
applications. The softwood timber has either PEFC accreditation as standard or FSC on request.
- Approved FFT1 and FFT3 bearer in many Robust Detail constructions.
- Approved for new Scottish Example Constructions
- Exceptional impact sound reduction in party floors
- Can eliminate wet trades
- Provides void for services and underfloor heating
- Proven durability of resilient polymer based fibre layer
- Proven acoustic performance
- PEFC or FSC accreditation
- GWP of resilient layer is 0.
- Most timber, steel and concrete separating floors
- Robust Detail Separating Floors E-FC-1, E-FC-2, E-FC-7,
- Section 5 Example Constructions 1B, 2B, 3A and 3B
Reflex Bearer Acoustic Battens comprise softwood battens 45mm ( Nom.) wide by 2400mm long with a specially developed resilient fibre strip 17mm thick adhered to the underside. They can be preservative treated if required. On average it is expected that the resilient layer will compress by around 4mm under normal loading.
Standard Heights ( unloaded ) : 53mm , 62mm and 78mm ( Nom.)
Other sizes are available to order. Timber is PEFC certified as standard.
For FFT1 requirements use a 78mm Reflex Bearer Acoustic Battens.
For FFT3 requirements use a 53mm Reflex Bearer Acoustic Battens or higher.
Laboratory values for Reflex Bearer Acoustic Battens are shown below.
Please request CMS Danskin Performance Data sheets for test information on the Reflex Bearer Acoustic Battens with different structural floor and ceiling combinations.
It is an essential feature of effective floating floors that they deflect vertically in order to absorb impact energy and therefore reduce sound transmission. However effective deflection under areas of high load such as kitchen and bathroom furniture is not desirable. While this can sometimes be lessened by reducing batten centres or using double rows of Reflex Bearer Acoustic Battens, limited numbers of high density foam battens can sometimes be used in these local areas. On concrete subfloors High Load Bearers are also recommended for use at room perimeters. As High Load Bearers have a lesser acoustic performance than Reflex Bearer Acoustic Battens a warning message regarding excessive use is printed on the top surface. High Load Bearers are manufactured to a similar height as compressed Reflex Bearer Acoustic Battens ( ie, Reflex height less 4mm ) and provide superior support.
Danskin Flanking Strip
This is placed at the perimeter of each floor . The 6mm thick preformed "L" shaped acoustic foam is supplied in strips 1.8m long and packed in bags of 100 lineal metres.The innovative "L" shape makes the flanking strip easy to fit and one size fits all floors. It is lightly trapped between the bottom of the skirting and the top of the flooring board with the excess neatly trimmed off.
Danskin Acoustic Quilt ( as required )
Where required to achieve a particular acoustic performance CMS Danskin can supply acoustic quilt.
Thickness : 25mm
Density : 19 kg/m2
Roll size : 22.5 metres long x 1.2 metres wide.
Chipboard Flooring
18mm or 22mm thick P5 T&G chipboard flooring with optional protective or decorative layers.
Sheet size : 2400 x 600
Danskin D3 Adhesive
Danskin D3 adhesive is a high quality resin based wood adhesive which provides a high strength impact resistant bond. It conforms to the international standard EN 204 (D3) and BS 4071 for creep resistance.It is supplied in 1 litre bottles.

A Major Facelift
The timing always seems to work out where on my flight back from the Atlanta International Home & Gift Furnishings Market I write my note to all of you to include in the February issue.
You may remember in 2018 we shared with you that International Market Centers (IMC) acquired AmericasMart in Atlanta, meaning it now owns markets in Atlanta, Dallas and Las Vegas. This year at market, IMC CEO Bob Maricich announced $280 million in capital investment at the three locations over the next 24 months.
Some areas he pinpointed to enhance the experience in Atlanta included curb appeal, lobby layout and onsite amenities, saying more than once that fostering "excitement in Atlanta" was an end goal. Even some of the press conference attendees echoed the excitement they already have for the planned changes after his presentation.
This part of Bob's talk got me thinking about the positive impact aesthetic changes can have in a retail environment.
On page 12, you'll read an article by Sam Brown of Fiddleheads Garden Center in Dalton, Georgia. You'll get the garden center's whole story from its start in 2011 until today, but I want to mention its expansion in 2017.
Not only did Sam and his team have to make the new, large space fit in with the old space — keeping an old barn wood look while no longer having true barn wood — but they also transformed its existing space. A new "Bloomless Bar" and houseplant headquarters for interior plants created added buzz in a category where customers are increasingly more and more passionate.
think beyond
All aesthetic changes don't need to be huge undertakings like the two stories above. I can think of a few examples from different stores that recently made me take a second look by upgrading lighting, painting the entrance doors, adding a new sign out front or moving displays around in the entrance of the store.
As I waited in the airport a few hours ago, I read an article on Business Insider titled: "Bed, Bath & Beyond's stores have been called 'a mess,' but the chain might be starting to turn that around."
The CEO plans to begin making changes in March that align with what he calls "show more, carry less initiatives." I must admit that I am one of those easily overwhelmed shoppers that feels a little claustrophobic when shopping at this chain of stores.
My favorite quote from the article, however, was from Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail. He said that Bed Bath & Beyond stores "are a hodge-podge of product, tightly crammed into a space that is largely devoid of inspiration. This makes them hard and sometimes unpleasant to shop."
Largely devoid of inspiration? If I owned a store that somebody described that way, I would immediately recoil.
Today, many people are walking into brick-and- mortar stores for the sole purpose of inspiration. They often don't know exactly what they want — or else they would've purchased it online. Stores have a huge opportunity to inspire their purchases, and sometimes the aesthetic look and feel of the store can play a large role in how well this is accomplished.

"Remember! – It is christianity TO DO GOOD always – even to those who do evil to us. It is christianity to love our neighbour as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them Do to us. It is christianity to be gentle, merciful, and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and never make a boast of them, or of our prayers or of our love of God, but always to shew that we love Him by humbly trying to do right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and lessons of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and try to act up to them, we may confidently hope that God will forgive us our sins and mistakes, and enable us to live and die in Peace."--

Traffic on the north-bound lane of the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar flyover near Matunga came to a standstill at 12.30 am today after a multi-axel vehicle entered the wrong lane and got stuck under a gantry that prevents vehicles beyond a certain height from entering the lane.
The trailer truck going towards Sion after exiting the King's Circle flyover entered the extreme right lane meant for small vehicles and immediately got stuck in the iron gantry. Following the incident, a traffic jam was seen for half a kilometre.
The traffic police quickly reached the spot and saw that the iron gantry had bent from the impact. A traffic police officer present at the spot said, "The truck driver entered the wrong lane by mistake and got stuck in the gantry. With the help of a forklift vehicle, the gantry was lifted and the truck driver then reversed the truck."
The traffic jam that went on till 1.10 am had been causing tempers to rise and cops had to clear the jam quickly.

I second and somewhat would like to see a function to switch out any player at anytime, w/ the stipulation that you are giving up that roster slot and half your salary on the player still. eg:
You have 8 players drafted. Lebron is playing a 7:00 game. It's 7:45 and he hasn't played, or has just gone down w/ an injury on 5 points. You can forfit hit 5 points, still have him taking up that spot in your lineup, however his salary drops to half of what it was (he costs $27 now and receives an automatic 0). You now can switch out your later players and use that remaining salary. I know it sounds kind of complicated, but it would be the fairest way to do this I believe.
You could also just keep players unlocked until their first in game action, I don't really see how that could be taken advantage of.
