Are you one of those people who felt The Raincoats should have given in to their pop tendencies? Honestly, how good was their cover of "Lola"? If you want to hear what that would sound like as a long-player, then welcome Grass Widow, a three-piece out of San Francisco's blooming garage scene. Internal Logic, the band's third outing, takes the angular bass lines, three-part female harmonies, and jangly guitars and blends them together to form a heaping pile of late 80's/early 90's nostalgia that could easily soundtrack your favorite Pete and Pete episode, a soundtrack that would no doubt make little Pete's tattoo, Petunia, dance the night away.
Grass Widow is a pop band at their core, and they are at their best when they allow this identity to bubble up to the forefront. The vocal interplay between Hannah Lew, Raven Mahon, and Lillian Marling forms a three-headed serpent of sugary harmonies. This works in their favor throughout Internal Logic, especially on the breezy "Disappearing Industries", a textbook, three-chord pop rush where the ladies of Grass Widow weave a tapestry of delicate harmonies. "Own your head" is the rallying cry throughout the surf sludge of "Spock on Muni". The lyric should have been "own your sound," since that is what Grass Widow have done throughout their three-album discography, and, coincidentally, it's what drags down Internal Logic.
The nagging flaw of Internal Logic is that it's a mirror image of the band's previous outings. Is it wrong to criticize a solid album based on a band staying so close to their comfort zone? One can't help but long for some sort of sonic expansion, though. Granted, Grass Widow branches out on two tracks – the Spanish guitar instrumental "A Light in the Static" and the piano outro of "Response to Photographers" – but they're oddballs and jarringly out of place. Incorporating these elements into their traditional guitar/bass/drums setup would've led to more interesting results. Still, it's hard to deny the lilting melodies that make Internal Logic such an easy album to like, but loving it might take a little bit more work on their part.

Birte, all. I made changes to the RIF entailment regime (in the SPARQL 1.1 entailment editor's draft document) mostly in response to Jos's comments [1]. Primarily, the semantics of answers are now with respect to the merge of the scoping graph *and* any graphs imported (with the Simple profile) into the referenced, safe RIF document. Also, the rif:imports statement is not included. The language regarding common RIF-RDF interpretations, satisfaction, etc. has been clarified. The editorial note regarding safety and its relationship to Condition 4 has been removed since it appears (through various comments, etc.) that uniqueness and the exclusion of (trivial) infiniteness can be guaranteed with certain safety criteria (at the expense of expressiveness of the language). The paragraph describing stratification methods for ensuring finite answers in the face of cyclic dependencies in builtins has been removed and that paragraph has been shortened. I'm still not satisfied with the text regarding summarizing the balance between sacrificing interoperation and query safety for a more expressive power. Hopefully, I'll have a brief paragraph to add to the informative section later this week.

Street Fighter Church Edition
"32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 40 Let all things be done decently and in order." – 1 Cor 14:32-33, 40
A practice that has spread quickly around the world is this belief that being "slain in the Spirit" is a move of God practiced throughout the Bible. This is has even been endorsed by popes/catholics and other pseudochristian organizations (should be a warning when those that worship another Jesus claim to have the same Spirit). To be "slain" is to be killed, destroyed, beaten, scourged, etc. If we're supposed to kill our flesh daily and will die a real, natural death, how many more times should we have to die? The Bible says those who are born again will never die (spiritually), so why do we feel that the Holy Spirit would suddenly veer from the Bible and start killing us spiritually? Even if you don't want to call it "killing," why would He embarrass, humiliate, and injure Believers who are coming to learn from Him. The reason is because the spirit in operation is not the Holy Spirit but a kundalini spirit.
People want so badly to feel something. The fact that it's "movement" should be a huge, red flag. Today, people want the Lord to show them "signs"; however, Jesus said that demand comes from a wicked and adulterous generation. We are admonished to be sober and mindful of what's going on at all times. We are not to empty our minds or stop praying and just wait for a spirit to take over. We are supposed to do everything in decency & in order. People should not be strewn all over the place out of themselves for up to several hours at a time. The Holy Spirit doesn't move people to behave like animals, cluck & cackle, or disrupt what is supposed to be a holy assembly and lesson. All this carnival activity actually takes the focus from God and puts it onto the person performing because people are seeking the sensation from that person.
Let's examine some passages used to support this practice:
Num 22:31 – "22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the Lord stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. 23 And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way. 24 But the angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. 25 And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again. 26 And the angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 27 And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. 28 And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. 30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? and he said, Nay. 31 Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. 32 And the angel of the Lord said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me: 33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. 34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the Lord, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again. 35 And the angel of the Lord said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak." Num22-35
Balaam was being a disobedient prophet. The donkey's eyes were opened to see the angel, but Balaam could not discern the problem. When Balaam falls forward on his face, he has thrown himself to the ground in recognition of the angel being sent directly from the LORD and to beg for his life. People don't beg standing up or lying on their backs convulsing and twitching, and they certainly can't beg to be spared if they pass out.
2 Chron 5:14 – "13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; 14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God."
"could not stand" – could not continue – "Amad" 5975 – unqualified – The priests ceased from their activity because the pure and holy presence of the Lord had come. As they were already worshiping, they would not pass out and fall backward but would kneel or lie prostrate before the Lord.
Eze 3:23 – "22 And the hand of the Lord was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee. 23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face. 24 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house." – Eze 3:22-24
Ezekiel is showing reverential fear of the Lord. The first mention of Chebar is in Ezekiel 1 where he says he was among the captives by this river. A vision from the Lord comes, and Ezekiel sees heavenly creatures that have wheels, wings, animal-like parts, four faces including faces of men, which is already a terrifying sight. Then he hears the voice of the Lord from His throne above them. The appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord is enough to send Ezekiel to a worship position on his face. "25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. 26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. 27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. 28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the LIKENESS of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake." – Eze 1:25-28
Eze 43:2-3 – "1Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: 2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. 3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face."
Ezekiel sees the same creatures he saw from Heaven in chapter 1, and God's glory has rushed in. Again, Ezekiel goes to a worship position but is completely aware of everything that is happening around him.
Ezekiel 44:4 – "1Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. 2 Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. 3 It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same. 4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell upon my face." Eze 44:1-4
Ezekiel is still being shown incredible things, but at no point does the prophet get cozy with God. At each appearance of God's glory, Ezekiel shows honor and reverential fear of the Lord. His very Presence demands us recognize Who He is.
Matt 17:6 "1And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead." Matt 17:1-9
Jesus is transfigured on a mountain and is reminiscent of Moses's countenance shining after being in the presence of God. Two primary figures of the Bible representing the law (Moses) & the prophets (Elijah) appear to Jesus, which indicates that the Lord is with Jesus. The LORD'S voice calls from Heaven (three times audibly during the adult life of Jesus) instructing the disciples to listen because He is greater than all who have come. The disciples have a reverent fear for the Lord Who is demonstrating His control over life, time, and all. They fell on their faces and consciously listened for further instructions. Jesus tells them not to be afraid as He tells John later in Revelation
John 18:6 – "1When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. 2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. 3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground." – John 18:1-6
This passage mentions Judas 3 times in 6 verses. By the second mention, we understand Judas is with them. Judas falls backward with the others (Pharisees, band of men, & chief priests) who are coming against Him. They aren't falling in worship but are falling back under the sound of judgment. They Holy Spirit is NOT on any of these men because the Holy Spirit is the One Who points us to Christ.
Acts 9:3-4 "1And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus." – Acts 9:1-8
This is Paul BEFORE conversion, so the Holy Spirit is not falling on him to give him "another anointing." As when Judas Iscariot and company came against Christ and were knocked back in judgment for the desired persecution of Him Who was doing the Lord's will, Paul and company are knocked back in judgment for coming against Christ (Believers are in Christ & the Body of Christ), which is why He asked why Saul was persecuting HIM and not why Saul was persecuting Believers. The reference of Saul kicking against the pricks means Saul was fighting the direction and instructions the Lord wanted him to have and was causing himself harm in the process of rejecting Jesus. Saul opens his eyes to find himself blind. When the Lord takes away senses in this fashion, it is to get attention because that person has not acknowledged and followed the Lord (ex. Nebuchadnezzar).
Rev 1:17 – "10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." – Rev 1:10-18
The Bible lets us know that the presence of God is powerful, and all who will be in His presence will bow down and worship. John hears the voice, turns and sees the Savior as He will return, and is filled with the fear of the LORD. He doesn't pass out backward and is completely conscious. Jesus has a task for John, which requires him to remember what happens to write. John can't observe and remember if he's unconscious.
At no point do we see the Holy Spirit described as a force/electricity/fire to be flung, thrown, or blown at people. There are no instructions to tap/push people in the forehead or the electric sensors in their cheeks to help them fall over (or assault them by kneeing them). There is not one example of a woman "coming under the power" and falling out, but we see a great number of women seeking this experience.
"2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them." – Jer 10:2
The practice of trying to get people to get in touch with a spirit and feeling was mingled with the Biblical practice of laying on of hands. It taps into an occult practice including trying to line up chakras and opening the third eye (located in the middle of the forehead).
Shocking documentary – Kundalini Warning –
– Notice the use of "fire" statements such as "fire starter." Remember that Christians are not supposed to be "fire baptized." (See blog)
Atheist slain in the spirit – So a skeptic/non-believer is going to be given the blessing of the Holy Spirit without faith in Christ Jesus?
Examples of people under the influence of evil spirits
The boy with a dumb spirit – Luke 9:42 – "42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father."
"17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; 18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. 19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. 20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. 22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. 23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose." – Matt 9:17-27
The evil spirit throws the boy around to injure him. The boy rolls around furiously and loses control of his functions such as foaming at the mouth. When the spirit is commanded to depart and leaves, the boy is calm.
Prophets of baal – "26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. 29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded." – 1 Kings 18:26-29
The prophets of baal made a big production trying to manufacture the spirit of their god (much like the 4-hour trance music of today's circus they say is required to "usher in the Spirit of the Lord"), screamed, cried out, and almost killed themselves trying to get a response. The Lord's Spirit does not require us to mutilate ourselves because we are His workmanship and His temple.
Demon-possessed man – "1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: 4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, 7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. 8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. 9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. 10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. 12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. 14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. 15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid." – Mark 5:1-15
This man had so many devils inside him that he couldn't even be chained to an area. He lived in a cemetery, cried constantly, and cut himself with stones. When Jesus cast out the demons, they were permitted to go into the pigs nearby, and the entire herd raced "violently" to their deaths. Devils are destroyers. When the people that knew the demoniac saw him (because word spread quickly), he was calm and had all his senses about him. Nowhere does it say the man "fell out under the power" and started erratic behavior.
Is there such a thing as being slain in the Spirit?
Sure, but it's eternal. It's called the "second death" and definitely not something anyone should want. We do, however, have examples of being slain BY the Spirit.
Samson killing Philistines by the Spirit of the Lord – "18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? and he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle. 19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house." – Judges 14:18-19
Ananias & Sapphira – "But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things."
When the Holy Spirit slays, it's permanent! Is that something you really want to pursue?
But…but…I know I felt something, and I'm Christian
Yes, and peer pressure to fall so we're not seen as missing the blessing, embarrassing the person laying hands, or the power of suggestion will help solidify the experience, especially when you arrive determined to receive an impartation. The problem is that while your intentions may be honorable, the person passing the spirit may not care. We don't want to voluntarily open ourselves up to be influenced by evil.
Master luciferian prophet E. Bernard Jordan –
– http://endtimeshofar.blogspot.com/2012/01/master-luciferian-prophet-e-bernard.html – these false pastors that are really good at these displays study occult and false religions. Benny Hinn has often visited the gravesite of Kathryn Kulhman and talks of being visited by her. Please note the picture toward the bottom of the website showing Jordan's other religious practice.
– "The concept chakra comes from the yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It is said that the body has seven chakras in it. Yoga is the vehicle used to balance the chakras. The main goal of yoga is to awaken Kundalini, or the fiery serpent power that is wrapped around the spinal cord (source). What is serpent power? Isn't Satan called the Great Serpent? Jordan's fellow luciferian occultist H.P. Blavatsky states in her book "The Secret Doctrine" that Yahweh isn't the "One," and Lucifer is the "One" more superior than Yahweh. She states that the names of Lucifer is known as Dragon of Wisdom, the Dragon, Satan, and The Fiery Serpent (source). Notice that one of the names for Lucifer is Fiery Serpent [dragon]. Also pay attention to the fact that in Yoga the goal is to awaken the kundalini or fiery serpent to obtain divine wisdom /self knowledge. Satan since the garden, is always attempting to get man to obtain knowledge outside of the authority of G-d." (quote from blog with sources inserted for convenience)
So that you can see and hear how people plan what they're going to do in advance and the unbiblical practices they use, I am attaching documentaries in which the people were open about their deception during the documentary. So that you can see how luciferians (ministers of satan transforming themselves into angels of light) infiltrate and influence the church, I'm attaching an expose documentary.
"Miracles for Sale" – Hypnotist Derren Brown takes an ordinary man and turns him into a "faith healer" in a few months to show the tricks and scams used by many of these televangelists to convince them that they just experienced a miracle.
"Marjoe" – con artist that did a self-exposing documentary on how he scammed the church beginning as a child televangelist
Toronto Blessing Unmasked – someone took the time to listen carefully for the ministers' prayers to satan while pretending to be praying to God
"14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." – 2 Peter 3:14-18

Filmmaker Sam Raimi has come onboard to direct the pilot episode of the U.S. remake of the comedic Australian legal series "Rake" at Fox.
Richard Roxburgh starred in the original which follows the self-destructive, tactless Sydney criminal defense lawyer Cleaver Greene who defended some seemingly hopeless cases including a cannibal, a bigamist, a dog f–ker, an emasculator, a racist shock jock, an Assange-esque online reporter, and the wife of an incompetent suicide bomber.
Clients, judges and city officials have been played by high-profile guest stars with the likes of Hugo Weaving, Toni Collette, Sam Neill, Rachel Griffiths, Martin Henderson, Noah Taylor, Jacqueline McKenzie and Jack Thompson all appearing in colourful roles.
The American version has Greg Kinnear stepping into the role of Greene, while Miranda Otto, Necar Zadegan, John Ortiz, David Harbour and Ian Colletti also star. Roxburgh, Ian Collie, show creator Peter Duncan, and "Rescue Me" showrunner Peter Tolan will executive produce.

Full profile:
My current research is aimed at understanding the mechanisms by which Phytophthora sp., cause epidemics on crop plants. More specifically, work in my group focuses on the functions of the Crinklers, a novel class of cytoplasmic effectors from Phytophthora. In addition, we are interested in the events that couple signaling cues to developmental transitions during pathogeningress. We hypothesise that these processes are critical for disease establishment and form a possible basis for regulation of effector secretion and delivery.

So far, the term "catchy-as-hell" has been applied to the song, and well, it's not a wrong assessment... From the sound of it, I'd guess that Ms. Clarkson realized the error of her ways when she argued with Clive Davis about her last album. This is a return to form for her. --Lance Lester

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Country singer Alan Jackson posted online early Saturday evening his mother has passed away at the age of 86.
According to a post on his website, Ruth Jackson, lovingly known as "Mama Ruth," died at her Georgia home early Saturday morning.
"Mama Ruth," according to the post, inspired Jackson's gospel hymns collection "Precious Moments."
She would also occasionally accompany her son to awards shows and events. The online post said it was a role she "embraced" and would often greet fans who regularly sought out Jackson's childhood home.
She is survived by her five children, 12 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
Funeral arrangements were not immediately released.

Hierarquia Anatômica
Anatomia geral > Músculos; Sistema muscular > Músculos do membor inferior > Músculos > Músculo bíceps femoral
Estruturas subjacentes
Origin: Tuberosity of the ischium, linea aspera, femur
Insertion: The head of the fibula which articulates with the back of thelateral tibial condyle
Artery: Inferior gluteal artery, perforating arteries, popliteal artery
Nerve: Long head: tibial nerve, short head: common peroneal nerve
Action: Flexes knee joint, laterally rotates knee joint (when knee is flexed), extends hip joint (long head only)
Antagonist: Quadriceps muscle
The Biceps femoris (Biceps) is situated on the posterior and lateral aspect of the thigh. It has two heads of origin; one, the long head, arises from the lower and inner impression on the back part of the tuberosity of the ischium, by a tendon common to it and the Semitendinosus, and from the lower part of the sacrotuberous ligament; the other, the short head, arises from the lateral lip of the linea aspera, between the Adductor magnus and Vastus lateralis, extending up almost as high as the insertion of the Glutaeus maximus; from the lateral prolongation of the linea aspera to within 5 cm. of the lateral condyle; and from the lateral intermuscular septum. The fibers of the long head form a fusiform belly, which passes obliquely downward and lateralward across the sciatic nerve to end in an aponeurosis which covers the posterior surface of the muscle, and receives the fibers of the short head; this aponeurosis becomes gradually contracted into a tendon, which is insertedinto the lateral side of the head of the fibula, and by a small slip into the lateral condyle of the tibia. At its insertion the tendon divides into two portions, which embrace the fibular collateral ligament of the knee-joint. From the posterior border of the tendon a thin expansion is given off to the fascia of the leg. The tendon of insertion of this muscle forms the lateral hamstring; the common personeal nerve descends along its medial border.
Variations.—The short head may be absent; additional heads may arise from the ischial tuberosity, the linea aspera, the medial supracondylar ridge of the femur or from various other parts. A slip may pass to the Gastrocnemius.

Today's weather vane is from New Hampshire.
Do you know the location of weather vane #179? Scroll down to see the answer!
This is a photograph of the Hooksett Rest area on the northbound side of Route 93. It was photographed at the end of September when the new liquor store and the shop just opened. The Common Man restaurant is scheduled to be open sometime soon. The weather vane shaped like the state of New Hampshire over the state liquor store was made by the Common Man founder Alex Ray.
This new rest area will feature New Hampshire themed exhibits, New Hampshire made products, and expanded visitor services. The project is running about eight weeks ahead of schedule. The southbound side of the highway will have identical services and will be completed after the northbound side.

Kansas sure has been in the national limelight recently due to the decision by the state Board of Education to omit evolution from the state assessment test and allow local school boards to wrestle with this topic on their own. I don't ever remember Kansas being the topic for CNN's "Crossfire" evening political debate program. Kansas hit the jackpot on the national media coverage, be that good or bad.
We also hit the jackpot in the reactions to this decision. The letters to the editor in several newspapers are nothing short of amazing. I could not begin to respond to the many comments written, some of them supportive of the board but many of them aghast that Kansas has gone this direction.
The members of the state Board of Education have been castigated by the governor and by other public figures, and the voters who elected these people have been equally denigrated and wrongly so. After reading many of these comments, I did not want my response to be a knee-jerk reaction, so I secured a copy of both the old and new standards and read them before beginning to write.
The old science standards were passed by the state board in 1995. None of these standards included (macro)evolution. It is mentioned briefly as an example under the standard for 9-12 grade students to analyze the effects of variables on patterns of change.
This reference to evolution is so nominal that I am puzzled as to where all these science experts were in 1995. Why were they not decrying our standards then? The board's recent decision on the topic of evolution is not that different from where we have been.
However, the process the board went through exposed the notion that not everyone believes evolution nor believes it should be taught in such a manner that portrays it as the gospel truth as to man's origins. It's as though the real offense the board committed was to expose the secret that just possibly (macro)evolution is not fact nor is it believed to be fact by a good many people.
Sometimes on these tough topics my children provide me with good insight. My 15-year-old daughter told me her freshman biology book from last school year espoused the concept that the Earth has not been in an active evolutionary period for the past few thousand years … but it could start again anytime! We both had a good laugh over this, but I wondered how we could expect our kids to believe such nonsense.
As a parent, legislator and a scientist (my bachelor's degree is in microbiology), I am quite interested in the quality of these new science standards. Frankly, they far exceed the old standards in their detail, degree of difficulty and sheer volume of material students will be expected to learn. It's unfortunate these new standards have been categorically dismissed. Have the many critics even read these standards?
The saddest outcome of this situation is that we adults have once again proven that we cannot or will not engage in civil debate over the tough issues of our day. Instead, we tend to label, attempt to bully the person with the other viewpoint or arrogantly shut them out. The critics of the standards have communicated clearly that their objective in education is not to teach the children how to think but what to think. The board should be commended for encouraging our students to use their minds in a more challenging curriculum and draw some conclusions on their own.
Much of our education time, money and effort centers around building our children's self-esteem. To teach them that they descended from amoebae or from monkeys and don't need to worry about acting any better than animals seems to communicate a message of little value.
But for children to understand that a loving creator designed them and their world may give them a sense of self-worth, value and responsibility to care for this world. The idea of intelligent design of our universe would communicate a message of purpose and meaning rather than life merely being a purposeless accident.
So for those who charge that this whole thing is about religion, they are exactly right. But whose religion? It's not about the religion of the so-called religious right who have tolerated this secret for decades. It's about the religion of the humanists and their disdain at being exposed for not having fact- or truth-based evidence for their theory or belief system.
Now, the cat-or should I say the monkey-is out of the bag.

"More and more women are practicing jiu jitsu, because it is one of the best ways to develop effective self-defense skills, and to gain physical strength, stamina, and conditioning at the same time."
Female students at Florian Martial Arts Center participate in the regular co-ed classes for beginners and advanced students, learning to deal with different shapes and strengths in a friendly and non-intimating environment.
In these classes women study how to use leverage, flexibility, and body mechanics to achieve control over any situation. Punches, kicks, and throws are not used in jiu jitsu. All positions start on the ground, and are practiced safely on soft zebra mats.
With proper technique, and disciplined practice, it is possible to redirect and use an aggressor's strength against him. You'll have the skills to defend yourself and get away. This stuff works!
For more and more women, a jiu jitsu practice of this kind complements a practice of yoga, running, or personal training. Going over techniques in the classes at Florian Martial Arts is not only a good work out, it also develops agility and body awareness. And it is a lot of fun too!
Come watch or take a free week of class, and learn why more and more women are joining our family of jiu jitsu and self-defense practitioners.
"I really enjoy training at FloMAC. It's a friendly, positive environment that truly embraces all students – men and women, adults and kids, white belts and ninjas. I came in as a woman with no prior martial arts experience, but felt fully welcomed and encouraged by the instructors and other members. Everyone enthusiastically shares their knowledge, and there's a real sense of comradely."

McCraes Battalion – Armistice Day
Release Date: December 11, 2013
Run Time: 38:56
1. March of the Cameron Men
2. The Only One
3. Larimer Street
4. Acacia McCrae
5. Wind That Shakes the Barley
6. Gator Waltz
7. No One Goes
8. Billy McConnell
9. Skara Brae
The McCraes Battalion band, from San Francisco, is still in its youth, formed just two years ago, but they're wasting no time with the release of their debut album. The four members of the group come from various backgrounds and each brings a special talent and influence. Together the music fuses several styles including folk, punk, and traditional Irish music.
Fraser McGill leads the vocals and he also plays the banjo and adds harmonica to the rich texture. Kristen Vandling, the only female member of the group drives the folk presence with her additions of fiddle, mandolin, and bouzouki. Colin Hall plays the bass and guitar while Drew Mayo specializes on the drums and auxiliary percussion.
Across the small ensemble you see a wide variety of talents which mix together seamlessly. Additionally, the group orchestrates each song independently to showcase specific details in their music. You won't hear Kristin playing the bouzouki in every piece but when it's there it really shines.
There were several artists that inspired the Battalion's first album and these sources of inspiration stemmed from various musical backgrounds. The Pogues, Bob Dylan, and The Clash drove the rock and roll elements into the music of the Battalion with a punk twist.
Their music seems to resonate straight from Ireland and Scotland, where two band members emigrated from. The music drives forward with a passionate battle cry in pieces like Billy McConnell and March of the Cameron Men while also achieving softer, sweeter tones in songs like The Only One and No One Goes. One of the group's most notable strengths lies in their ability to create music that draws on different emotions while never losing the core of their sound and musical identity.
McCraes Battalion has all of the ingredients that are necessary to make a great album, and it comes together quite nicely. The band has delivered a decent debut album, Armistice Day, and it leaves much to be desired. Showing their potential and charisma as a group, their next album will certainly be one to look forward to, and also to see how the band evolves.

The Sappington-Concord Historical Society is an event-oriented and member oriented organization sponsoring events for its members and the general public. SCHS has several events that happen on a regular basis, and then there are events that are one time only, or just happen every now and then.
Regular events
The main event of the year is the annual SCHS Memorial Day ceremony, held on Memorial Day.
The SCHS general meetings are the core of the event offerings of SCHS. The meetings are in the evening from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, doors opening at 6:30. They are held on the fourth Wednesday of the month, or a Thursday late in the month, quarterly, in January, April, July and October.
The SCHS daytime presentations are afternoon events geared towards those members who can not attend evening events. There are usually two daytime presentations during the year, one in the fall and one in the winter, the times of the year when the sun goes down early. At the daytime presentations there is no business meeting, the presentation is the main attraction. The daytime presentations have been held in the auditorium at Grant's View library.
There are generally four Meet-at-the-Site Tours during the year. They are usually a week after the quarterly general meeting. The tours are to local historic sites or museums. Meeting at an historic site of some kind gives members a set time, date and destination to see places they have an interest in, but never quite get around to visiting on their own. Plus, they can do it with friends.
SCHS at Friendship Village is a monthly daytime presentation for SCHS members who live at Friendship Village Sunset Hills. Any Friendship Village resident is invited to attend, as well as the general public. They are on Thursdays at 2:30 pm. They are held six to ten times a year.
Other events
Some SCHS events are one time only, or just happen every now and then.
Some one time events are related to a special SCHS project. Among these are the dedication ceremony for the school bell restoration project at Concord Elementary School. Another was the dedication ceremony for the bust of Charles Lindbergh donated by SCHS to the Lindbergh Schools and installed in the auditorium lobby at Lindbergh High School.
Next event:
See the latest event page for upcoming events organized by the Sappington-Concord Historical Society. The page will be named after the year, such as, Events – 2015 or Events – 2016. See Events – 2018.

Dearborn Heights— Four days after a young woman was found dead outside a Dearborn Heights home at which she is believed to have sought help after a car accident, the family is asking: Why did she have to die?
Little has been publicly released about the circumstances of Renisha McBride's death Saturday. The 19-year-old from Detroit died of a shotgun blast to the head outside the home in the 16800 block of Outer Drive near Warren Avenue. Dearborn Heights police said they have "identified the person who fired the shot and killed the woman."
Her cellphone dead, her family said, she made her way to the house for help after the early morning accident.
"She probably wanted to ask him to make a call for her or if she could use the phone," said McBride's maternal aunt, Bernita Spinks.

PHI's Linda Rudolph on "Climate One: Health Hazards of One Degree"
2016 | Listen to the recording.
Global warming is hitting closer to home than we think, from a neighborhood child gasping with asthma to a parent collapsing from heatstroke. These realities led U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to assert in April that climate change presents the most complex threat to public health in U.S. history.
This Climate One program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on April 5, 2016, and features:
- Rachel Morello-Frosch, Professor, University of California, Berkeley

The M2M Industry Working Group is working on setting up a demonstrator of the technologies that are being developed under its umbrella.
It has been decided to go with the use case of a connected greenhouse, reporting its status (temperature, humidity, luminosity) and being controllable (turning artificial lighting on/off).
Demonstrator hardware setup
- a table top green-house
- an Arduino UNO : http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardUno for sensor acquisition
- a light sensor : http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/grove-light-sensor-p-746.html?cPath=25_27
- a moisture sensor : http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/grove-moisture-sensor-p-955.html?cPath=25_27
- a temperature sensor http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/grove-temperature-sensor-p-774.html?cPath=25_27
- a servo for opening the greenhouse http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/emax-9g-es08a-high-sensitive-mini-servo-p-760.html?cPath=39_41
- a Raspberry Pi : http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs for running Mihini and communicating with the m2m.eclipse.org server
Using the demonstrator for showcasing commercial products build with Eclipse M2M technology
The members of the Working Group are welcome to use the same setup for showcasing their commercial products based on the Eclise M2M projects, and promoting the interoperability of their solutions.
Examples :
- connect the greenhouse using Paho MQTT to your commercial server product

Julius 'Dr J' Erving is in the house and he's letting listeners into his incredible life. Each episode focuses on the passions that drive this legendary man, from youth and education, to music and business, and of course basketball. Join Dr. J and influential friends from the worlds of sports, culture and entertainment each week for engaging and topical conversations. It's just what the doctor ordered.
Julius Erving, the great and wondrous "Dr. J," was the dominant player of his era, an innovator who changed the way the game was played. Widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of his time, he is often considered to have been the main catalyst for the ABA-NBA merger in 1976 and is credited with taking the slam dunk mainstream. Over the course of his career, Erving won three championships, four MVP awards in the ABA and NBA, three scoring titles with the ABA and NBA, was a 16-time All Star and retired as the third highest scorer in pro basketball history with 30,026 career points. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993 and named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team.
A gracious, dignified and disciplined man, Erving was an ideal ambassador for the game. His actions off the court have proven to be as inspiring as his athletic achievements. Since Erving's retirement from the NBA, he has made it his personal mission to affect change, make a difference in the lives of others, and give back to the athletic and African American communities. In recent years, he has supported numerous causes and organizations including the American Cancer Society, The Salvation Army, March of Dimes, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Alliance for Lupus Research, The Boys and Girls Club, The University of Massachusetts, Widener University, and Philadelphia University.

TI 89 for Statistics > Simplify TI 89
Knowing how to simplify expressions in calculus is essential to being able to differentiate functions. The TI-89 graphing calculator makes simplifying expressions an easy task. In fact, you don't even have to access a menu; The TI-89 can perform expression simplification right on the home screen. There is another way — using the propFrac command.
Simplify TI 89 Example 1: Using the HOME screen
If you have a very simple expression, type it into the HOME screen and the calculator will do the rest.
Sample problem: simplify the following expression with the TI-89:
f(x) = 9x + 8x
Step 1: Press the HOME key.
Step 2: Press 9 X + 8 X to enter the expression.
Step 3: Press Enter. Your answer should be 17x.
Simplify TI 89 Example 2: Using propFrac
For more complicated equations, like ((x2 + 3x + 2)/(x + 1)), entering it as-is on the HOME screen won't work. All you'll see is your entry repeated. This is when you'll want to use propFrac.
Step 1: Press F2, then 7 to select propFrac from the HOME screen.
Step 2: Type your expression in. Make sure you type in a closing parentheses ")".
Step 3: Press the ENTER key. For ((x2 + 3x + 2)/(x + 1)), the simplified expression is x + 2.
Caution: Although the calculator returns the correct answer, it might not be formatted in the way you're accustomed to.
TI 89 PropFrac Command Example 3: Using PropFrac to convert Rational to Proper Fractions
A rational fraction (also called a rational expression) is a fraction that has a numerator and denominator with rational numbers. A proper fraction has a top number that is smaller than it's bottom number. For example, 5/3 and 8/4 are proper fractions. Converting fractions is tedious by hand, not to mention that (if you're like me) you'll make small mistakes. Add a variable or two (like x or y) to the mix and the process can be quite time consuming. However, the TI 89 propFrac command makes it a snap to convert https://calculushowto.com/proper-rational-function/ to proper fractions.
Sample question: Convert the following rational function to a proper fraction.
f(x) = (x>sup>2 + x + 3) / (x – 2)
Step 1: Press the Home key.
Step 2: Press the F2 button and then press the 7. This key combination selects the TI 89 propFrac( command.
Step 3: Press the following keys: ( ( x ^ 2 + x + 3 ) / ( x – 2 ) )
Note: Make sure you type in all of the parentheses. Missing parentheses are the usual culprit for mathematical errors or for the calculating give you an "error domain" or some other ugly error message.
Step 4: Press ENTER.
The calculator will display the solution, which is (9) / (x – 2) + (x) + 3.
That's it! You're done! You can now convert any rational function to a proper fraction using the TI-89!

"Can you imagine what it feels like to be me tonight?" Brooks asked the crowd as he accepted the Award. "But ultimately it's not about me; it's about every person in this room who is putting their heart into something meaningful and something significant in their community." On hand to honor Brooks was fellow CMA Board member and artist Chris Young, as well as representatives from the numerous charitable partners Brooks has worked with over the years including the CMA Foundation, Louisiana Tech, Monroe Harding Children's Home, Operation Finally Home, the USO, and Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. "Thanks to his contributions in the creation of the CMA Foundation and in the birth of CMA Instrumental Healthcare, as well as to the efforts he has volunteered to the other great causes represented here tonight, Kix's philanthropic endeavors will be as highly regarded as his many musical contributions," said Sarah Trahern, CMA Chief Executive Officer. "CMA is honored to be able to present our first ever CMA Foundation Humanitarian Award to Kix Brooks." The CMA Foundation Humanitarian Award was developed by the CMA Awards and Recognition Committee and approved by the CMA Foundation. The Award recognizes an individual who has served as a humanitarian through community leadership, financial support, personal volunteerism, and advocacy. Brooks has been an active member of the CMA Board of Directors since 1998. During this 17-year period, Brooks contributed to the unprecedented growth of the organization and was instrumental in creating and developing several initiatives that have touched the lives of countless members of the music community including the CMA Songwriters Series, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary, and the creation of an affordable medical insurance program for CMA members known as CMA Instrumental Healthcare. It was his leadership and vision that created CMA's "Keep the Music Playing" program, which was the forerunner of the CMA Foundation. The program receives funding through CMA Music Festival with half of the net proceeds from the event given as grants to support music education programs across the country on behalf of the artists who perform for free. To date, the CMA Foundation has donated more than $11 million to this worthy cause. In addition to being a true humanitarian for CMA, Brooks also serves on the Board of the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, Monroe Harding Children's Home, Tennessee Tourism Board, Nashville Convention Center and Visitors Bureau, Blue Ribbon Committee, Operation Finally Home, and Veterans Matter. Founded in 1958, the Country Music Association was the first trade organization formed to promote a type of music. In 1961, CMA created the Country Music Hall of Fame to recognize artists and industry professionals with Country Music's highest honor. More than 7,400 music industry professionals and companies from around the globe are members of CMA. The organization's objectives are to serve as an educational and professional resource for the industry and advance the growth of Country Music around the world. This is accomplished through CMA's core initiatives: the CMA Awards, which annually recognize outstanding achievement in the industry; CMA Music Festival, which benefits music education and is taped for a three-hour TV special; and "CMA Country Christmas," featuring Country artists performing original music and Christmas classics. All of CMA's television properties will air on the ABC Television network through 2021. For more information, visit CMAworld.com.

I've been sea and coarse fishing my whole life. I go out boat fishing around the south west coastline every month as well as exploring the rivers, canals and lakes that are on offer in Devon & Somerset whenever I have the opportunity. Now in my 40s I'd consider myself sufficiently skilled with a fishing rod to not embarrass myself in front of onlookers and fellow anglers – unless I'm trying to fly fish that is….
I recently bought myself a couple of fly rods and have been enthusiastically waving them round for the last few months. Enthusiastically is probably the most flattering thing I can say about my efforts as well. Alright, with a couple of young kids I can only sneak away every now and again, and haven't been able to devote that much time to fly fishing, but still – I've come to realise I've got a long way to go to get to the level of accomplishment I'd like to attain. I won't be concentrating solely on fly fishing either – I'm still out on the boats sea fishing every month, along with the odd bit of coarse fishing, and can't see that changing in the near future. The fly fishing will have to fit in around everything else. Not ideal I know, but there's just not enough hours in the day!
Having just starting out in fly fishing and not wanting to break the bank, I've got myself an Airflo Delta #5-6 rod for coarse fish and trout along with a Greys GS2 #8 rod for pike and saltwater. A couple of 'economical' reels loaded with weight forward line completes the selection. We'll see how it goes and upgrade if & as necessary.
To date my fly fishing has mainly consisted of targeting coarse fish on ponds and canals to varying degrees of success, along with the occasional trip after stocked trout.. Again with limited success. I've had chub up to just under 3lb and carp around 9lb on the fly rod, along with a smattering of rudd, roach & perch so to my mind I've have been doing ok. Granted, as with all fishing, there's the occasional blank but I have managed to catch fish every now and again!
One area I have completely and utterly failed at, is catching a pike on the fly. It's not through lack of trying either sadly. I've caught plenty of pike over the years on dead baits, live baits, plugs and any manner of lures, but just cannot seem to do the business with a fly rod. In fact my Greys GS2 #8 fly rod I've been using on the local canals for pike has yet to be christened with any fish whatsoever! shocking really considering the number of times it's been aired.
As for tackling the salt water with a fly – I've just not even tried yet but it is definitely on my 'to do list' for 2015 – although I'll look to invest in a pair of waders before then.
Looking critically at my efforts to date, it's easy to see a pattern – most my fishing is on small ponds and canals where there is no need to cast too far. Being self taught, I've no doubt picked up lots of bad habits that need ironing out at some stage. I can just about get by on these small venues where poor casting technique can get me by, but can definitely see the need for proper lessons in the very near future.
We all need something to aim for right? So, the immediate target – Get some casting lessons ASAP!
Target for end of 2014? – Christen the #8 rod, preferably with a pike.
Target for 2015? – get off the mark with some saltwater species. Bass, Pollack, Mackerel & Wrasse.

The chairman of the Greek Mining Enterprises Association (SME) Athanasios Kefalas talked about the problems faced by the mining industry, as well as its great contribution to the Greek economy in his interview at Capital.gr. He stressed the fact that this sector, which employs more than 16,000 employees, is one of the few in Greece that did not proceed with wage reductions, but instead kept on seeking new "talents".
It should be noted that the Greek Mining Enterprises Association (SME) represents the largest Greek mining companies, accounting for 90% of related activity. Some of its members are Delphi-Distomon, ELMIN, European Bauxites, Grecian Magnesite, Larco, AoG, Imerys, Pavlidis in the marble industry, large cement groups such as Titan and Lafarge and the mining section of the PPC.
Interview to Dimitris Delevegos
– Those who do not follow the activity of Greek mining companies, may consider that this sector has suffered a blow.
Mining plays an important part in the economy. According to the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE), it represents 3.4% of the GDP with its contribution amounting to 6.2 billion Euros, of which two billion concernsthe Prefecture of Attica. Its contribution, which is 1 billionEuros, is of great significance for the exports of Greece, the size of which, if we do not include oil, amounts to approximately 15 billion Euros. The industry continues to invest and attract major investors in Greece, such as the French groups Imerys, Keneosand Lafarge, receiving a vote of confidence by foreign investors in an unfavorable situation.
– Does the industry have an investment program?
According to a study conducted by SEV, there is a100 billion Euros investment gap. This figure derives from the difference between the value of the investments and the depreciation which amounts to approximately15 billion Euros and concerns the last seven years of the crisis. Aiming to contribute in covering this gap, we have planned, within the next five years, investments totaling 1.7 billion Euros for the development of new mines, the modernization of production lines, the use of by-products of processes, the maintenance of existing facilities and, of course, the restoration of the natural landscape.
– However, despite its great contribution to the economy, most representatives of the political world do not appear to be strong supporters of the mining industry.
In our country, there is a defamation of the business sector, discouraging public support events especially in regards to private investments. On the other hand, government officials have graced the openings of our own projects with their presence. There is no doubt that there is a reluctance to support specific investments which stems from the fact that, despite its importance, the mining industry is not attractive and is connected with the doctrine "notinmybackyard". In this context, the main mission of the SME is to demonstrate the great contribution of an industry that creates job opportunities in the Prefecture, has been technologically modernized, with vertically integrated contemporary groups prioritizing issues concerning the restoration of the natural landscape and environmental protection.
– To which extent has the imposition of capital controls been a constraint?
The implementation of investments in our industry is not suffering due tothe capital controls, but due to the endless bureaucracy. The implementation of any investment takes up a minimum of five yearsand even when it is completed it still faces the insecurity of the legal system. The mining industry has a very long history, thus it has learned to wait, persist and endure. However, markets cannot wait and if the product does not come on time, someone else will be on it.
– How much time is required for an investment?
The approval of an environmental impact study requires, on average, approximately two to three years, and in some cases it can take up to six years. Take into account that this is despite the fact that it is mandated by law to complete the writing of an environmental impact study within 90 days and that in neighboring countries the process of obtaining a mining permit takes upa maximum of three to six months. As a result, we havea competitive disadvantage. It should also be noted that despite the widespread view that private initiative is against the best interest of the State, we have observed that public services have been stripped of executives with skills and experience. We are therefore in favor of an effective public administration, to ensure the integrated nature of the control of our activities.
– What is the mining industry suffering from?
Greece was the fourth country to establish a National Policy for the Exploitation of Mineral Resourcesin 2012, following the direction of the EU for the independence of the country in regards to imported resources. However, this national policy has not been implemented yet. In addition to this, there are also problems associated with land planning, licensing duration, legal insecurity, the unstable tax regime and the absence of incentives for investments. There are also issues in relation to the certification of mobile equipment operators for which a minimum of three years is required or it may never be completed when it comes to heavy vehicles, while in Bulgaria this process does not take up more than three months.
– Can mining be environmentally sound?
Historically, the evolution of human culture has been associated with cultivation and mining. It is no coincidence that the discrete changes of mankind are connected to extraction, which is an integral part of human activity. However, the impact on the landscape due to the progress of technology and landscape restoration methods is temporary.
Besides, studies of the University of Athens have showed that where restoration is done correctly, societies have developed rapidly. For us the challenge is not to restore the physical characteristics, but to gear towards exploitation after the mining activity. There is an impression that when a mining company completes its work, it leaves a hole in the society and the earth, which is not the case, given the state of the technological landscape restoration methods.
For example, in Milos we created a vineyard in the place of a mine. A museum with 10,000 visits a year has replaced an old bauxite mininggallery and in Milosa conference center has replaced a kaolin processing plant site. Therefore, the protection of the environment and mining activity can coexist, when the latter is inextricably linked to the adoption of measures to minimize its impact on the natural landscape.
– Are mining companies hiring?
We are one of the few sectors of the Greek economy that has not lowered wages or gone through with horizontal salary cuts. Simultaneously, the extrovert nature of our operations allows us to avoid wage reductions. Therefore, we are hiring and seekingpeople with new skills and wish to give opportunities to young workers. In this context, we implemented the program "Engineers in Action" by Aluminium, as well as a corresponding initiative byImerys. And we maintain, train and give opportunities. The Greek mining industry directly employsjust over 16,000 people, while the downstream employment amounts to approximately 180,000 jobs.
– Is there high demand for work in mining companies by young people?
We have gradually recorded a shift of interest for work in mining industry companies by young people. And in a situation where at least 50% of young people are plagued by unemployment, we are the only source of light in the darkness of unemployment, with the mining sector enabling young scientists to build an international career, by gaining valuable experience in Greece. The automation of our plants, the modern equipment, the training of our personnel in modern management models and our openness are characteristics that attract young prospective employees.

Last night I went to visit my Grandma Gillian and Papa Zack. I'm so lucky to have grandparents. Grandma Gillian really knows how to make a fat girl feel fat. I also just want to mention, that she reminded me she didn't call them $5 Sugar Coffees, she actually called them $5 Boutique Coffees. Anyway, while FaceTime-ing with the entire family, she turns the camera over to me and says "Take a look, this is the last time you will see Fat Hillary. Say goodbye". I guess at a certain age, you lose your filter and you're allowed to say whatever you want. Papa Zack is the nicest man on this planet. He would do anything for his grandchildren, mostly for me– because I know I'm his favorite (Sorry M, J, C, A, R, D)
So since Grandma Gilly told me this was the first day to the rest of my life since I started my liquid diet (DISGUSTING), she said I should take some before and after pictures. Any advice on these pictures? Should I do it Biggest Loser style, or just wear clothes that are extremely tight and make me look like a jolly giant.

Every day after K's treatment we try to find something fun to do. Even if it's just a walk around a 'new to us' lake. Jut something to get out of the house.
We went on a Paddlewheel boat ride in St. Charles. It was interesting to hear about the history of that area.
We went to a salon and K got her hair shaved and her new wig styled.
That was another hard moment for me. Of course I would not let her see me tear up, but goodness it was hard to watch her long hair fall to the ground.
But she loves her new wig, and a new hat that she got, so she's happy as can be.
And the most beautiful girl ever!
Over the weekend Annie's hubby and Jeremy came to visit us for a couple days.
We went to eat at Giordano's, and had some incredible pizza. Look at all that cheesy goodness!
Lou Malnati's still has my vote though.
|BBQ Chicken pizza
|Watching some Tim Hawkins
I took Jeremy on a little tour of the town. Have I told you I could SO live here?
Well, I couldn't deal with their winter's, but other than that, these little Chicago suburbs are amazing.
|I love bridges!
Somehow I totally missed this 5k race I had signed up for! It was in town here, and I just totally forgot about it. Sad! At least my money went to a good cause.
I'm still on track for running 100 miles this month. I'm at the halfway mark, so 50 more to go!
Have you ever forgot to run a race you signed up for?
