Get Out The Vote in Virginia
This November 7th, voters in Virginia will send one of two messages to Trump and his GOP lackeys:
"We don't want your policies of hate and swamp-filled corruption in our country so we WILL vote you out of office and take back our country starting right now!"
"We might complain a lot, but you can keep doing what you are doing because our passion and our outrage do not translate into votes against you."
It goes without saying which message we want to send, but we need to put actions to our words and SHOW them we are serious.
Hopefully you are aware of the elections happening this November, but in case you aren't, let's hone in on a particularly important one: Virginia's gubernatorial race. The short story is that the current Lt. Governor, Democrat Ralph Northam, is facing off against former RNC chairperson Ed Gillespie, Keeper of the Swamp, who is running a Trump-style campaign. The outcome of this important race is going to come down to turnout and when that is the key factor, Democrats often come up short.
The good news is that Virginia has been running blue lately and Northam is up in the polls, BUT if you might be tempted to take your foot off the gas and sit this one out, remember Hillary was also up in the polls this time last year… So what do we do to help?
If you live in Virginia-
- VOTE, but don't stop there. Remind, plead, and even shame your friends and family into voting.
- VOLUNTEER. Knock on doors, make calls, find out ways you can get would-be voters to their polling places.
If you don't live in Virginia-
- Stir up a frenzy. We need to be buzzing about these off-year elections and make sure we all know what is happening, what is at stake, and most importantly how we can help.
- VOLUNTEER. If you are not close enough to knock on actual doors, you can still make calls and texts to voters.
You can also get more information from these groups who are doing work on the ground:
- Together We Will Northern Virginia – Website
- Together We Will Northern Virginia – Facebook
- Indivisible Virginia – Facebook
And it isn't just VIRGINIA that is having huge elections in November!
Here are all the areas having an election on November 7th.
Roll your sleeves up and get to work!

Stainless Steel Corner Guards
wX16 Series
Item Number
- Product Details
- Installation
- Technical Specs
Stainless steel corner guards provide optimal strength corner protection and give a room a highly professional appearance. Well-suited to modern kitchen décor and industrial design, the stainless steel corner guard is the finest choice for high-impact environments.
What's Included
Corner guards can be ordered with self-stick tape or without fasteners.
Raw Materials
Wallprotex stainless steel corner guards are made from type 304 stainless steel, 16 gauge with a #4 finish. Custom finishes are available upon request.
Installation Procedure
Using Adhesive
- Clean wall surface and apply two beads of 1/8" adhesive to each wing.
- For installation over vinyl wall coverings, cut away a small strip of the vinyl under each wing of the corner guard to allow access to the wall surface, since the adhesive will not adhere properly to the vinyl.
- Position corner guard on wall and move around slightly to spread adhesive, then remove the corner guard from the wall for one minute to "air", which speeds drying. Then reapply to the wall.
- After the corner guard is installed, remove the protective covering.
Using Screws: 1", #8 Phillips head
- Place the corner guard on the wall at the desired location and mark the hole locations on the wall with a pencil.
- Remove the guard and drill screw holes at each mark.
- Wipe down the wall to remove and dust or plaster.
- Place the guard back on the wall at the desired location and attach to the wall with screws.
- After the corner guard is installed, remove the protective covering.
Cleaning Instructions
- For routine cleaning, including finger prints, use warm water with a mild soap or an organic solvent (eg. Acetone, alcohol, methylated spirits), sponge rinse with clean water and wipe dry following the polish lines.
- For tougher stains and grease use an organic solvent, mild cleaning solutions such as Jif®, or specialty stainless steel cleaners. Use a sponge, rag, or soft fiber brush to clean, rinse well with a sponge and clean water and wipe dry following the polish lines.
Always read the instruction and warning label on all cleaning products before use.
Trade Offs of Stainless Steel
Stainless steel corner guards, as the name suggests, are made from a stainless steel sheet. These stainless steel sheets are cut and bent to the proper size that is needed to cover and protect the corner. The edges of the stainless steel sheet are ground down to prevent sharp edges. Stainless steel corner guards are attractive, but they have some downsides. Under heavy abuse, metal will dent and bend. In the extreme case that you will bend a stainless steel corner guard, it is hard to fix the problem, and a building owner will likely have to replace the guard.
Can we make a bullnose stainless steel corner guard?
How strong is the double sided tape?
The tape is intended to be a permanent installation method. When installed correctly, removing the corner guard will likely remove paint or drywall.
What type/size of fasteners are included if I select 'With Fasteners' as my installation method?
3/4" Size – The 3/4" corner guards do not come with pre-drilled holes due to their size. Instead, included are 1" long finish drive nails. These are designed to be driven easily directly through the corner guard and provide a finished look.
All other sizes – All sizes except 3/4" come with pre-drilled countersunk holes. We include #6 x 1" long nickel plated Philips-head screws. These are course-thread finish screws intended for installation into drywall.
Does adhesive come with the corner guards?
No, adhesive is not included with the purchase of corner guards. If you select No Fasteners as your fastening option, you may choose to purchase construction adhesive from us separately. It is listed under the Accessories page.
What type of adhesive should I use?
For most standard drywall installations, a generic construction adhesive is a great choice. There are a wide variety of options available. Check the label on your adhesive to ensure that it will work for your specific application.
When should I use adhesive to install my corner guards?
Generally speaking, glue or adhesive should be used whenever you need a permanent or heavy duty installation. Adhesive is a universal installation method that allows the user to make small adjustments during the install due to its long cure time. It is easy to administer and creates a strong bond on any wall surface.

The 29th March is the day the UK is set to leave the European Union. It remains unclear what form this departure will take, but what is certain is that the British political landscape has changed. Brexit's nationalist and protectionist narrative has occupied the centre of our public discourse for two years, and with it we have seen a corresponding rise in xenophobia, islamophobia, and racism.
Between 28th to 30th March, The People's Film Club will be hosting BEYOND BORDERS as part of Battersea Arts Centre's Occupy Festival. Through film, discussion, poetry, art, and performance, we will be celebrating the power of collaboration. The power of refusing borders, and refusing insularity: the power of solidarity. We will be showcasing the collaborative work of British, European and international artists. The festival will raise funds for refugee and migrant support projects in Lesvos and Calais.
Across the three days, we will be hosting an art exhibition showcasing posters that celebrate the grassroots movements growing around the world, centred around the theme 'Beyond Borders'.
This is where we need your help…
We are asking you to donate a digital copy (high resolution scan) of an original artwork. It can be any style – typography, collage, print, photography, etc. – as long as it fits the dimensions of A2 paper (420 × 594 mm). TPFC will cover printing costs, so the charities will receive all funds raised through the exhibition. The exhibition will bring together the work of artists and activists from around the world to celebrate the power of solidarity.
If you would like to submit your artwork, or to find out more, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Deadline for submissions: 28th February 2019

Oh my goodness the weather yesterday was GORGEOUS! It is amazing how much my whole attitude on life improves when the sun is shining. Just love it! We went to my son's baseball game and it was just wonderful sitting in the sun. Wish I would have had more time to spend outside. But I am frantically cleaning my house. We are in the process of trying to adopt a baby girl, and we are due for our annual home study. I know things don't have to be perfect, but I don't want it to look like a bunch of chimpanzees took over our house when we were out of town.
So I am straightening things up a bit. And cleaning the carpets. And painting a few walls. And washing a few windows. And dusting. Lots of dusting. Because some of my dust bunnies have grown into dust jackrabbits. Not a pretty sight. It will be sooo nice when it is all done. I love me a good clean house!
I am actually looking forward to cooking this week. We have been so busy that we've eaten a lot of sandwiches and wraps for dinner. Or eaten on the run. I am not very fond of fast food. Or cereal. Which is what we have for breakfast when I don't have time to make anything else. I love having a hot breakfast. I usually keep a batch of homemade muffins in the freezer so I can whip a few out and heat them in the microwave. Voila! Instant hot breakfast.
Waffles make a frequent appearance at our table on the weekends. I have a favorite waffle recipe that I usually make, but we were out of buttermilk one time, so I tried this recipe. I've tried several other non-buttermilk waffle recipes in the past, and this one was the best so far. My whole family really loved these. This time I used the buttermilk syrup that is to die for, but they are also great with vanilla sauce and berries. I hope your family enjoys them as much as we did.
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 1/3 cups milk
- 1/4 cup oil
- Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl (with a pourable spout if you have one.)
- Whisk together eggs, milk, and oil in a small bowl. Stir into dry ingredients till just combined. Cook in a hot waffle iron.

It's one year ago today since my crime novel Random Acts of Unkindness was published by Kindle Press following a successful Kindle Scout Campaign. Was it worth it? The short answer is an emphatic 'yes'! This article will look in more detail at just how Kindle Scout and Kindle Press helped my writing career.
I have written about visibility in other articles, but this really is an advantage of both the Kindle Scout campaign and Kindle Press publication. The campaign is a win/win situation, with publication if you are selected and notification of self-publication to all those who supported you – often up to 3k nominators who want to read your book – if not.
If you are published by Kindle Press you will receive Amazon Promotions. This is because Kindle Press, like traditional publishers, use Amazon to promote their authors work. There has been much discussion about this on internet forums but the bottom line is that Kindle Press use Amazon promotions. In my case, they also promoted via a UK Bookbub advertisement which took me in to UK top 50 Amazon Paid chart and top 100 in the US.
Visibility is everything.
Author Platform
Getting a platform is difficult. It's a combination of sales, promotion, visibility and PR. My strategy was to build an author platform and then to try for an agent. I want to try everything – self-publishing, indie publishing and traditional publishing. I want the whole experience but I wasn't going to get it without a platform.
Kindle Press publication gave me that platform. In my letter to agents I was able to showcase my PR, visibility and thousands of unit sales in real time. The book I was submitting needed to be great, but in today's publishing world even traditionally published authors need to show they can market themselves and their book. Kindle Scout and Kindle Press gave me the experience to do this.
I got the agent and I got the deal.
Opportunity to Learn from Other Authors
I'm not a 'forum' person. I like to stay focused on the task at hand and I'm not big on chit-chat. When I was selected for Kindle Press publication I was admitted to the Kindle Press Winners forum. I gave it a chance and I'm so glad I did – the group are the most focused, dedicated, kind, successful and sharing people I have ever met. There are participants from all over the world and in the space of a year I have learned about algorithms, paperback formatting, marketing, promotion and lot of other things. I have had short stories included in their anthologies and discovered wonderful writing from my Kindle Press co-authors.
I learned how to market myself and my work.
Soft skills – confidence and understanding
As most authors know, writing isn't all about sales. It's mainly about – well – writing! But unless you are happy for your writing to remain on a flashdrive in your desk drawer, you need the confidence to send it out and have other people read it. This is not easy.
Combined with this is direction. What and who are you writing for? Will you only ever consider a traditional deal, or are you willing to self-publish? Everyone is different and, to make direction decision even more difficult, there is a certain amount of snobbery around the traditional/indie/self-published dynamic.
Confidence leads to understanding and once you have an awareness of how and why the traditional/indie/self-publishing dynamic is constructed between writers (look out for a future blog post about this!), it is easier to make your own choice based on your own confidence in the quality of your work.
I decided on a three-step process for all my work. Put it out there and try to have it traditionally or independently published (which is where Kindle Scout came in) and if that door closes, open the next one and self publish. I now have the platform and marketing skills to make this work, so why not?
I know the full range of publishing options and I'm not afraid to try them.
One year on…
This time last year I had one book published. Tomorrow I will have five published works, in ebook and paperback, with a traditional two-book deal with Corvus Atlantic Books in the pipeline. It's been quite a year, mostly spent with one eye on Amazon rankings. I've met brilliant people and read fabulous books and published my own offerings which people have bought and loved. That's all I ever wanted but the Kindle Scout and Kindle Press experience brought so much more.

When it comes to software applications like iPresent, user experience (UX) is everything. We could have the best technical product with all the features under the sun, but if it's difficult to use it's basically pointless.
We've written before about the importance of a good UX. Apps should be easy to navigate, effortlessly functional and intuitive to use. My job at iPresent is to make sure that we deliver on all those fronts, and that we're catering to our users' needs. I thought I'd share a bit about how that all works, from the perspective of a Product Manager.
Understanding customer's needs
When people choose iPresent, they are typically looking for off-the-shelf Sales Enablement technology to fulfil their organisation's need for one or more of the following:
- A sales presentation tool that looks impressive
- An easy means of sharing sales collateral across large teams
- A way of controlling the brand message, to eliminate the use of unapproved or out-of-date content
- A tracking tool to analyse how and what content is used, to improve content development
Because customers have different buying motivations, we have to ensure that the UX delivers – whatever the initial reason for purchase. And because we're a subscription-based service, we also want users to find the whole app so easy and appealing to use that they stick with us and grow their usage.
It's so important to talk to customers from the outset to get under the skin of what they're trying to achieve with the app. Taking the time to get to know their business and how they will use our product pays dividends in the onboarding process, but it's also the best way for us to plan product improvements and new features.
Flexibility and community
I called iPresent an 'off-the-shelf' solution – and it is. But the SaaS (software as a service) model also has the ability to be a lot more flexible than custom-built apps, which tend to be built once and then left to grow obsolete or until another injection of cash is available to update them.
We're continuously working on our product, listening to our customers and responding to their needs with new features that are then automatically available to our customers at no extra cost. It's one of the things I am most proud about as a company – our customer relationships and the technical innovations that come out of them. It may be that we're working on something because one client particularly needs it, but all our customers will ultimately benefit from that solution. It feels like a great big community and we're all pushing each other to be better.
Why I love my job
The thing I find most rewarding about my job is when you spend a bunch of time planning and prototyping a feature – it goes through planning, prototyping, testing; it can be a long process – but then it finally makes it out into the wild into your customers hands and it clicks in the way you're really hoping it would.
Plus, I enjoy spending my days working with other people who love tech as much as I do – and staying on in the evening for after-office gaming parties!

The Spring Sale in ON50%off the original price on select styles
The shoe has clearly been work. There are chunks missing from the heel and the velvet has peeled off. Went through 45 min of online chat to try to get a refund issued. Terrible customer service, standards and quality control.
Thanks for the comment! We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you have been experiencing. If you wish to tell us more about to to have this looked further into, please feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll be happy to take a look at this for you!
I can not say enough amazing things about this shoe. I can wear it for 8 hours and be walking home at the end of the night no problems. Classy, trendy, comfy, and amazing for nights out. This shoes is 100% worth every single penny.
Happy hour, Wedding /Prom /Formal, Night Out/Party, Work/Professional
So glad to hear this! Thank you for your review.
I love these shoes. They are comfortable for an evening out. I have the red, it is not a bright cherry red, but still pretty!
Happy hour, Wedding /Prom /Formal, Night Out/Party
I really like the heels but color is not how it looks in the picture
I bought these heels in the "bone" color for my graduation that is coming up next week. In the photos, the bone color looks like a very neutral beige which is exactly what I have been looking for. However, when I received them, the color is definitely closer to a blush pink which is not what I want at all. I saw other reviews stating that the other photos were misleading of the colors too. Will be returning.
Love the look of these and bought them to wear to a wedding. I don't expect heels to be overly comfortable but these were painful. Thankfully I had a pair of flats in the car to dance in.
Wedding /Prom /Formal
I wore these shoes for a few hours and with inserts. Several days later the heels of my feet are still sore, even when laying. Cannot wear again.
Wedding /Prom /Formal, Night Out/Party
We are so sorry to hear our shoes caused you so much discomfort. We'll definitely take this review into consideration and forward to the right department.
Bought a Bone and Red pair. They fit perfect and are very comfortable.
Happy hour, Formal / Wedding / Prom, Night Out / Party, Beach / Vacation

Buying lingerie can be intimidating for a lot of guys, so I'm taking the guesswork out of it for you. If you're braving the stores, bring this list of tips with you, and don't be afraid to ask a sales rep for help.
Get the Right Size
A quick peek in her closet will make sure that you get the perfect fit. If you're shopping online, retailers have sizing guides to help you. If you're going to the store, bring a list of sizes with you (shirt, pants, bra, and underwear). Telling the sales clerk that 'she's about your height and this wide,' may not yield the results you're looking for.
Choose Something That Will Make Her Feel Beautiful
You might like to see her in a set of pasties and a leather thong, but she might feel overexposed and self-conscious. If she loves the reflection she sees in the mirror, she'll feel much less inhibited and much more confident.
Start by thinking about the parts of her body that she complains about:
Does she hate her tummy?
Choose a baby-doll fit or a merry widow (with ruching if you can find it – ruching hides all kinds of flaws).
What Exactly is Ruching?
As defined by Webster's Dictionary: a pleated, fluted, or gathered strip of fabric used for trimming. (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ruche)
Seen here in this bathing suit…
Does she wish she had bigger or perkier breasts?
Go with something with a push-up bra built in (teddy, nightie, baby-doll, merry widow).
Does she try to hide her thighs?
Go with a longer nightie.
Not sure which color to choose? Black is definitely the go-to color for any woman who worries about her body. Dark blue, such as navy, is almost as good, however. Red is racy and can definitely give her a nice glow.
That should give you a place to start. Even if you don't get it exactly right, she'll appreciate all the effort you went to on her behalf.
Happy Shopping!

Art and craft festivals are a lot of function but worth it for the exposure you get and the wonderful men and women you meet. The purchasing encounter can turn into hugely rewarding if you acquaint your self with the terms you will customarily encounter while picking the ring. He now sells across a quantity of sites which has helped him branch out and remove his dependence on eBay as a selling platform (and he could not be happier).

That gave you the greatest results so you never have to re-invent the wheel every time you need to photograph jewelry. Even though I nevertheless packaging most of my jewelry in organza bags I also package some in plastic bags with a printed fold over for hanging at craft fairs and other events. I function with residence enterprise owners everyday and this lens will assist them tremendously, thanks for the data. Jump rings for every of your charms – jump rings are accessible in a package in the jewelry section of most craft or bead retailers.
Metalworking is generally the final skill jewelry hobbyists learn since it can look daunting, and the reality that it demands much more abilities and frequently far more tools as properly can place people off. They have fantastic sales on simple pieces but do not have a lot of specific offers for the hottest style products, however. Since of this reason a necklace is appreciated more than any other jewelry piece by a woman. Since this internet site gives big-name brands, the offers are not as very good as on some of the smaller sized internet sites.
Employing a single topic matter for your charms is great way to create a unified theme to your finished piece of jewelry. I actually operate for possibly an hour or two a day and I make almost $2,000 a month from this business.

I adore online buying simply because my dog is not permitted in a lot of stores, even though he is effectively behaved.

Flowers, leaves, sand, and so several other natural items are constantly being utilised to give interest and uniqueness to a piece of jewelry. Use your name: Proud organization owners have every proper to use their name in their company name!

I know. You get engaged and are excited for all the fizz supping, pretty frocks and cake tasting, then the planning gets underway and all is not as it seems.
Suddenly you find yourself in the middle of arguments about guest lists, budgeting, and where to honeymoon.
I read a while back that something like 85% of couples consider sneaking off to elope at some point during the planning process, simply because they're sick of all the crap that comes with it.
Interestingly though, for every couple I've ever talked to (and that's A LOT!) – once the day is done, they are so pleased they stuck with it and agree that it was worth it.
I think there's so much pressure that comes with weddings, it's inevitable that it's gonna be a bumpy ride at times. Heck, even if the two of you are on the same page, chances are that someone, somewhere, is going to stick their helpful (!) sticky beak into things and start with the advice.
The thing is though, this is YOUR day, it's about YOU, and it should be exactly how YOU want it to be.
Obviously, if it's being bankrolled by your parents or a long-lost aunt who turns out to be a millionaire, then it's only right to give some leeway and let them be involved – BUT, not at the expense of you having the wedding that feels right for you. If financial contribution means complete taking over, I'd be considering going for a cheaper version and coughing up yourselves just so that you can keep the proceedings focussed on you and your marriage.
Ultimately, I'd say 99% of couples reach a point in their wedding planning journey where they're really not enjoying it. Where it feels like it's just to do lists, burning money and arguments. If this is you, you're not alone. Everyone goes through it, it's normal and it's OK.
Stay calm, keep things in perspective, spend some quality time together where you don't talk about the wedding and ride it out.
Things WILL get better, and you'll end up having the most incredible day of your lives.
Go with it.

Dr. Alan Beard
[The following article was first published in the British Reformed Journal, Issue 10, April-June 1995]
It is the purpose of this article to consider the plain teaching of the Westminster Standards (that is, the Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms) with regard to the various issues involved in the modern controversy surrounding the nature of the gospel offer. Two camps presently exist within the Presbyterian and Reformed community, both of which lay claim to be upholding the teachings of the Standards, who differ in their conception of what the gospel offer entails. The first group hold that the gospel offer or external call means that all men without exception in the preaching of the gospel are to be commanded, called, exhorted and invited to come to Christ for salvation and life, with the promise that those who do come will be saved. The second group believe that, in addition to this, the external call expresses a love of God to all men, and a desire of God to save all who hear. In this article, the first position will be regarded as in accordance with the Westminster Standards, and the second will be shown to be at least absent from them, and also contrary to them.
The Standards and the Love of God
It has been rightly pointed out that the Westminster divines saw the goodness of God as a basic umbrella term for such other attributes as His love, grace, and mercy.1 The fourth question of the Shorter Catechism states that this goodness of God has the characteristics of being infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, and that these characteristics are typical of all God's other attributes, and therefore of His essential being. If God's goodness has these three characteristics, and goodness includes love, then God's love must have these characteristics too. But those who hold to the second interpretation of the gospel offer make the love of God to be the opposite and negation of what the Shorter Catechism states. The love of God which is supposedly expressed to all in the gospel offer is finite (being non-saving), temporal (being limited to this present world only, and being absent from God's decree and hell), and changeable (being real at one point but non-existent at another). Such a love is clearly excluded from the teaching of the Westminster Standards according to the definition held herewith in this article and represented by the first position as adumbrated above.
The Standards and the Being of God
In Chapter Two, Section one, of the Confession it is stated that God is "without … parts." This teaches that God is simple,2 and is sometimes referred to as the unity or indivisibility of God. God is not composed of parts and He cannot be divided into parts. Two theological deductions can be made from this doctrine. It firstly means that there cannot be an intrinsic or real contradiction in the nature of God, and secondly means that there can be no intrinsic or real distinction made between the divine essence and the divine attributes. The second interpretation of the gospel offer violates both of these points, and therefore violates the teaching of the Westminster Standards.
John Murray, a theologian who advocates an extreme form of the second interpretation, admits that his view departs from Calvin's on this issue.3 Calvin taught that God is simple, and therefore that God's will is also simple, although it might seem at times diverse to the senses because of our finitude and sinfulness. Murray says that this view of Calvin's is wrong, holding instead that there is real contradiction involved in God, particularly concerning His will. So much is obvious and open in Murray, and is latent in the theology of all who hold the second view, even if they do not always openly state it, that God wills two basically different and contrary things. And this willing is not in two different senses merely, because God is thought to will different things with regard to the same people at the same time. That is, God is said to will the salvation of unbelievers under the sound of the gospel while willing in that same gospel that only believers should be saved. This is a denial of the simplicity of God, and therefore of the Westminster Standards.
Also, the second interpretation involves the idea already mentioned that God can express a particular attitude of His in a temporal and arbitrary fashion to all people in the gospel offer (i.e., His love), without Himself being changed. But the attribute of love is represented in the Standards and in the Scripture as being God Himself, as St. John says:
He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love (I John 4:8).
… God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him (I John 4:16).
Therefore, if this attribute is regarded as merely temporal, finite, resistible, and frustrated, and if God is His attributes (as His essence and His attributes cannot be divided), it rigorously follows that God Himself is temporal, finite, resistible, and frustrated. This also is a denial of the simplicity of God, and therefore also a denial of the Westminster Standards.
Again, in this same section of the Confession, it is stated that God is "without … passions." This teaches that God does not possess creaturely emotions which may be subject to inflammation, such as grief, frustration, or suffering. Yet one recent advocate of the second interpretation of the gospel offer said that God desires, wishes, and longs for the salvation of all men.4 But John Owen, the greatest Puritan theologian and contemporary and admirer of the work of the Westminster Assembly, stated:
That desires and wishings should properly be ascribed unto God is exceedingly opposite to His all-sufficiency and the perfection of His nature; they are no more in Him than He hath eyes, ears, and hands.5
In other words, those who hold to the second interpretation of the gospel offer are guilty of interpreting anthropomorphical (or, more strictly, anthropopathical)6 verses literally, by ascribing unto God human traits. And, it should be noted that, even when the Scripture clearly describes God in such terms, He is still declared to be simple and Sovereign, viz.,
But He is in one mind, and who can turn Him? And what His soul desireth, even that He doeth (Job 23:13).
To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto Him? … To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One … Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? That the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? … (Isa. 40:18-27)
The Standards and Omnipotence
Although this attribute of God is not explicitly spoken of in the Standards by use of the word "omnipotence," it is nevertheless definitely taught. In question and answer seven, the Larger Catechism describes God as "almighty." This biblical title is somewhat ambiguous in itself with regard to precise definition, but the Confession is more explicit in Chapter Two, Section one, defining omnipotence as God "working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will." Here, then, is a sound definition. According to it, the truth that God is omnipotent does not mean that He can do anything, or that He has simply more power than any other being, but rather that God has the absolute power to do as He wills. This truth is plainly taught in the Scriptures also, e.g.,
But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased (Ps. 115:3).
Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did He in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places (Ps. 135:6)
Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will (Eph. 1:5).
What has this to do with the gospel offer? Those who hold the second view of the offer maintain that there is in God a certain desire or will to bring to pass in time that which He has been pleased eternally not to will to come to pass. That is, God, in the gospel offer, wants to save the reprobate wicked even when He has been sovereignly pleased to will that they would not be saved. The problem with this is obvious: how can God have the power to do as He wills, and yet will certain things which do not come to pass? Three possible answers exist. First, God does not will the salvation of the reprobate at all. Second, God is not omnipotent. Third, despite all arguments concerning the Scripture doctrines of the Omnipotence, Simplicity, and Unchangeableness of God, it is asserted that because God evidently holds simultaneously two mutually incompatible attitudes to the Elect prior to their conversion, namely, the eternal decree to save, and the damning wrath unto judgment for their sins, so, likewise, He is able to hold simultaneously two mutually incompatible attitudes toward the reprobate, that is, the decree to leave them in their sins unto final damnation, and the desire to save them from their sins. It is argued that if God sincerely holds a damning wrath over the Elect in their pre-conversion state and this is compatible with Him simultaneously setting them as the objects of His saving love, then it would follow, as a corollary that He can exercise sincerely a desire to save the reprobate co-extensively with His eternal decree to predestine them to destruction. Any abrogation of the force of the word sincerely in the case of the reprobate here would also necessitate logically a consonant abrogation of its force with respect to the sincerity of the wrath of God over the Elect prior to their conversion.
In response to these three possible answers, it has to be asserted that any attempt to resolve the matter along the lines of the second answer, i.e., that God is not omnipotent, is a flat denial of the Reformed faith and the scriptural position of the Reformed Standards. No Reformed theologians of any repute have ever adopted this position, whatever their views on common grace and the gospel offer (leaving aside certain apostates and turncoats). It is, however, with the third answer that many modern Reformed theologians align themselves, and it is to this we now apply.
If, as these theologians assert, God's wrath over the pre-conversion elect is a sincere threat of ultimate damnation, then two things follow. First, there is then an evident will or purpose in God, i.e., to damn, which, in the case of the elect, is never fulfilled, because of course, God saves His elect from that damnation. Secondly, this indicates that there exists in God two parallel and incompatible purposes with respect to the elect, one, an eternal purpose unto the just damnation of the elect for their sins, and the other an equally eternal purpose to redeem them. This, it is then alleged, establishes that in God two mutually and simultaneously incompatible decrees and attitudes can co-exist, and that unfulfilled purpose or intent is also to be found within the Divine person. If this is so with respect to the elect, then it is perfectly compatible with there being a similar phenomenon with regard to the reprobate, or non-elect. That is, that God can and does hold with regard to them two mutually simultaneous and incompatible purposes, i.e., the decree to leave them in their sins unto damnation, and the sincere desire to save them from this consequence, this latter purpose being, in the case of the non-elect, a sincere desire or purpose which remains unfulfilled, or frustrated, even as the sincere purpose to damn the pre-conversion elect was also unfulfilled.
All this, it is claimed, indicates a salient proof of their notion of the "free offer" of the gospel as being a sincere expression of God's desire to save the non-elect. Leaving aside the deleterious consequences of this kind of reasoning on the biblical doctrine of God in His Unity, Simplicity, and Omnipotence, it is eye-opening to make a close inspection of the logic contained in this line of argument. At the outset, it is necessary to point out that it is based on an entirely false and unbiblical view of the matters in hand. A false scenario has been drawn by proponents of this view, and their deductions follow, ipso facto and inexorably. But following as they do from a false scenario, ipso facto and inexorably their deductions are wrong. One ought to consider here, the following criticism of their arguments, given by Hugh Williams, thus:
They leave out of their picture the most important feature of the biblical revelation and Christian Theology, that is, the work of our Lord Jesus Christ in His Three-fold Office whereby He effectuates the Redemption of God's elect through His Atonement. It has to be said that, on occasion, some Reformed theologians in discussing the decretive purposes of God, lose connection with the work of our Saviour, and tend to hold the doctrines of the decrees and of God's nature and purpose in abstract from Christ. The result can be such as exemplified in the false scenario put forth here. The fact is, that biblically speaking, God's wrath against the pre-conversion elect is absolutely and indubitably as sincere and as damning as the wrath He holds over the non-elect. There is NO difference whatsoever. To the elect as well as to the non-elect comes the scriptural warning "… flee from the wrath to come …" (Matt. 3:7), and St. Paul can write to the Thessalonians about "... even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come" (I Thess. 1:10). But it is utterly false, and contrary to Scripture, to assert that this just, sincere, and damning wrath of God is unfulfilled and/or frustrated with regard to the elect, and that concerning them an important aspect of God's purposes is left unfulfilled. Scripture indubitably teaches that God's wrath over the elect HAS BEEN FULFILLED, that His righteous anger over them has been satisfied, and not in any way frustrated. His wrath on the elect was poured out on Christ, who in His estate of humiliation fully bore and suffered the just anger and retribution due to the elect for their sins. And thus the Scriptures teach:
Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes we are healed. (I Pet. 2:24)
But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom. 5:8)
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. (Rom. 4:25)
One could multiply such Scriptures almost endlessly, e.g., I Thess. 5:9 and 10; Col. 1:14–22; Matt. 26:28; Titus 2:14; I Cor. 15:3; Heb. 9:12–27: Christ's humiliation consisted in His being born, and that in a low condition, made under the law, undergoing the miseries of this life, THE WRATH OF GOD, and the cursed death of the cross, in being buried, and in continuing under the power of death for a time.
Thus it is indubitably manifest that God's purpose of wrath over the pre-conversion elect, far from being unfulfilled, has been fulfilled, and that in a manner that could not be more excellent. At the same time, as He procured this satisfaction for His justice and wrath, God's eternal decree to save the elect is effectuated, whereby they undergo an ontological transition out from the estate of sin and misery and into an estate of salvation, being metamorphosed into new creatures in Christ in the process, and this by the sovereign application of the Holy Spirit's energies. Thus St. Paul is inspired to speak of how "the righteousness of God without the law is …" and how God, through the work of Christ declares "… at this time His righteousness: that HE MIGHT BE JUST, AND THE JUSTIFIER OF HIM WHICH BELIEVETH ON JESUS." (Rom. 3: vv. 20 through 26)
Hence there is also, no question of God holding, with regard to the elect, two mutually simultaneous contradictory attitudes or purposes. His purpose to damn is appropriate to the pre-conversion elect, but His purpose to elect unto life is appropriate to Christ, and all those IN CHRIST, for the Scriptures do not say "according as He hath chosen us before the foundation of the world," but rather, "according as He hath chosen us IN HIM before the foundation of the world …" (Eph. 1:4). Outside of Christ there is no election, only damnation.
The corollary of this is that the assertion that there exists in God a temporally expressed desire to save the non-elect immediately collapses, as it would require the positing of an unfulfilled purpose or desire in the Divine personality, now no longer backed by a similar parallel phenomenon registered vis a vis the elect. With it collapses the notion of God holding two mutually simultaneous contradictory purposes with regard to the non-elect, i.e., the decree to damn, and the purpose or desire to save. For this too, is now seen to have no parallel backing from God's dealings with His elect. And with this too, the whole charade of "common grace" disintegrates, collapsing like the pack of cards in "Alice in Wonderland," depending, as it does, like the "Free Offer" fantasy, on the blasphemous notion of there being "double-track" psychology in a God who suffers perpetually the pangs of frustration from unfulfilled but "sincere" purposes and desires.
One might desire to do X, and simultaneously to desire to do NOT X. But one cannot SINCERELY desire to do X, and simultaneously SINCERELY desire to do NOT X. And to ascribe such logical acrobatics to the Almighty is sheer blasphemy, and effectively reduces Him to the level of being a crook, a downright fraud.8
One is left therefore, with the conclusion that only those who choose the first option, i.e., that God does not will the salvation of the reprobate at all, are in keeping with the teaching of the Westminster Standards.
The Standards and the Relationship between Time and Eternity
Question and answer thirteen of the Larger Catechism contains some very important teaching as far as the nature of the gospel offer is concerned. It teaches that the cause of election is the particular love and grace of God to His people in Christ from eternity. Also, it tells of two vital truths concerning this love and grace. Firstly, it tells us that this particular love and grace is "manifested in due time." The particular love and grace which was bestowed upon the elect in eternity is the same that they know and experience in time. There is therefore no discontinuity or discrepancy between time and eternity as far as the expression of the attributes of God are concerned, which love and grace are. They are not particular in eternity, but then universal in time. It is contrary to the Westminster Standards to hold that God loves only the elect in eternity, but everyone in time.
This instructive question and answer also informs us that this particular love and grace toward the elect is not only manifested in time, but also expressed in "the means thereof" that God has chosen to save them from their sins. From the proof texts, it is evident that the Westminster divines had primarily the preaching of the gospel in mind here, as it is obviously the chief "means of grace" that God uses to save sinners. But it is just that: a means of grace, and not grace itself! God does not express therefore a general love and grace to all in the preaching of the gospel offer, but rather uses the offer as a means or instrument to bestow those blessings upon those who obey it. And since it is only God's elect who do obey it, it is only God's elect who have the blessings of the love and grace of God bestowed on them in the preaching of the gospel offer, and no one else.
The Standards and Revelation
In connection with the above consideration of the relationship between time and eternity, it is also useful to point out what the Confession has to say about revelation. It teaches that in the Holy Scriptures, and that also therefore in the preaching of those Scriptures, God has been pleased above all else to "reveal Himself" (Chapter One, Section one). And so in the gospel offer God must not ever be thought of as showing us another different self than what He really is. If the eternal God loves only His people, and if this eternal God has revealed Himself in the gospel, He can only be revealed as the same eternal God who loves only His people. The content and direction of God's decretive will and revealed will do not conflict, although they differ in shape. For the revealed will to declare a being who loves all men and wants all men to be saved would be to reveal another being than the one who decreed in eternity, and would be contradictory to the position of the Westminster Standards.
The Standards and Providence
In dealing with the relation between the providence of God and the reprobate wicked, the Confession proclaims two truths (Chapter Five, Section six). First, that God, rather than wanting in time to save the reprobate, is pleased to "blind and harden" them, and that this is achieved by a deliberate policy on God's part in which He "withholdeth His grace" from them in time. Second, as well as this general policy, God has a special policy about bringing about this hardening process "under those means which God useth for the softening of others." So, in the gospel offer, God not only withholds His grace from the reprobate wicked, but also uses it to harden them. Therefore the purpose that God has in providentially allowing the reprobate wicked to sit under the preaching of the gospel offer is the very opposite of expressing a love for them and a desire to see them saved. This interpretation is further backed up by the choice of proof texts the Westminster divines used at this point. See particularly Isaiah 6:10 and II Corinthians 2:16.9
The Standards and the Phrase "Free Offer"
The Standards nowhere describe the gospel itself as an offer, free or otherwise, but do state that by way of the gospel God "freely offereth unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ," as indicated in Chapter Seven, Section three. What does this mean? The second group in the Reformed camp take it to mean that the preaching of the gospel implies a gracious overture of mercy expressed in a general favour and kindness of God to all who hear.
That this all can be taken out of one word seems, to say the least, somewhat ambitious, all the more so in the light of three facts. First, to the Westminster divines, steeped as they were in the Latin classics, the word "offer," derived as it is from the Latin "offere," could only have meant to them "present" or "exhibit."10 Second, the proof texts used by the divines at this point stress that "offer" simply means "preach" or "proclaim." What else? Third, the Confession itself, after having just spoken of God "freely offering," goes on to overtly and explicitly define exactly what it means by this, by proceeding to speak of a general obligation and call to faith, along with a particular promise of salvation to the elect. Therefore, for the Westminster divines, the "free-offer" of the gospel was simply the truth that, in the preaching of the gospel, all are commanded and called to believe (which is the duty of all to obey), and those who believe are promised life and salvation in and by Jesus Christ. And this is exactly what the first group spoken of in the opening paragraph hold to be the case.
The Standards and the Self-Sufficiency and Ever-Blessedness of God
The Larger Catechism says that God is "in and of Himself infinite in … blessedness" and "all-sufficient" (Answer 7). The Confession (Chapter 2, Section 2) proclaims that God "hath all … blessedness in and of Himself, and is alone in and unto Himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creature which He has made." Together, these doctrines teach that God is in Himself an infinitely and perfectly happy being, and that this happiness is not derived from another source, but is intrinsic in Himself. Therefore, since no creature can add to the blessedness of God, so no creature can take away from it. But those who affirm the second view of the gospel offer are guilty of trying to do just this when they declare that God has unfulfilled desires, and earnestly seeks for goals which He does not obtain. On this issue of God, in the gospel offer, being said to desire what He does not desire, the Reformed theologian, John H. Gerstner, correctly observes:
(If this were true) not only would He otherwise be bereft of some blessedness which would reduce Him to finitude, but He would be possessed of some frustration which would not only bereave Him of some blessedness, but would manifestly destroy all blessedness. This would clearly be the case because His blessedness would be mixed with infinite regret. Our God would be the ever-miserable, ever-blessed God. His torment in the eternal destruction of sinners would be as exquisite as it is everlasting.11
Thankfully, such a terrible and blasphemous conclusion is impossible, being unscriptural, and is utterly rejected by the teaching of the Westminster Standards.
In the opening paragraph the question proposed for consideration was this: whether the Westminster Standards taught that in the preaching of the gospel offer God expresses a love to all who hear by which He intends and desires the salvation of reprobates (the non-elect). The remainder of this article has demonstrated that, if the Westminster divines did hold to such an opinion, they did not incorporate it into the Standards.12 Rather, it has been shown that the Standards openly and strongly reject many of the implications deduced from holding such a view of the offer. Positively, the evidence mustered during the course of this article makes for an acceptance of the first position only as being definitively and clearly confessional, while the second view is at least extra-confessional in its content, if not openly anti-confessional in its connotations.

2. "Simple" here is meant in its Theological and Philosophical sense, i.e., that God is, in His Divine Nature, completely perfect, and internally totally and perfectly in Unity, and not therefore subject to conflicting internal elements of personality or thought or purpose. In contrast to "simple" in this sense would be "complex," which would be attributable to finite creatures such as humans, who are subject to being torn within by conflicting thoughts, desires, and purposes. Obviously, such conflicts could never be present within the divine nature, otherwise God would thereby lack perfection, and thereby not be God. See further in this respect: Richard A. Muller, Dictionary of Latin and Greek Theological Terms (Grand Rapids, Baker Book House, 1985), article: "simplicitas."

10. This interpretation of "offer" is queried by some, but a close examination of the Complete Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary indicates that in the English language the word "offer" certainly carried the force of "present" during the period from 825 A.D. onwards in unbroken sequence right up through to the 19th Century. Whilst it is also true to say that a more "commercial" nuance was also evident in the public usage, yet the nuance of "present" was especially current in the world of religious language and the church during this period, and with the force of the argument from the grounds of the Latin tongue being in high profile ecclesiastically and academically the weight of evidence favours the view expressed here. Ed.
11. Cf. John H. Gerstner, Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth, (Brentwood, Tennesee, Wolgemuth and Hyatt, 1991), p. 129. Dr. Gerstner goes on at this point to say: "His (God's) torment in the eternal damnation of sinners would be as exquisite as it is everlasting. He would actually suffer infinitely more than the wicked. Indeed, He would Himself be wicked because He would have sinfully desired what His omniscience would have told Him He could never have."
12. This point is further ramified when one remembers how during the Westminster Assembly's long deliberations, they had such a view as that held by the second group mentioned in this article laid before them, in that Amyraldian influences were strongly at work trying to influence them. It is clear that the Assembly firmly rejected the incorporation of any such ideas into the Standards. Dr. John Kennedy of Dingwall has some astute observations about this, which can be seen reprinted on page 40 of Issue No. 9 of the British Reformed Journal. Ed.

10 Years, 100 Songs: #93. "I Can't Feel My Chest Anymore"
Posted by Andrew Unterberger on June 16, 2009
When nu-metal cracked with Limp Bizkit, Korn and their Family Values brethren around the turn of the millennium, one of the main bands hailed as progenitors of the movement were The Deftones. It was only barely true at first, but as the genre evolved slightly away from macho, aggressive hip-hop hybridization towards a more immaculately-produced, super-melancholy and highly tuneful direction, they started to sound a little more prescient. But as the genre reached its commercial apex and many considered the Deftones due for a breakout, the band retreated, getting more insular with their lyrics and more atmospheric with their music. It resulted in one of the decade's great hard rock albums (or really, albums period) in White Pony, but it never resulted in the band getting the crossover hit they seemed to deserve.
Instead, we got Chevelle's "Send the Pain Below." The song hit on seemingly dozens of the benchmarks that had made the Deftones' music so powerful over the years–the soft/loud verse/chorus dynamics, the gorgeous, crunching guitars, the yearning vocals and aching lyrics. Really, the similarities between "Send the Pain Below" and personal Deftones favorite "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)" especially (which I've already spent plenty of words raving about) are unbelievably striking, down to singer Chino Moreno's shouts of "FAR!" triggering the guitar hook the same way that Pete Loeffler's "MUCH LIKE SUFFO-CATING!" does in "Pain." Even the bridges to the two songs are fairly similar. It's not so bad that the song feels like a rip-off, but it's virtually impossible to hear it without mentally acknowledging the similarities. But while "Be Quiet and Drive" came out in 1997 (at least a couple years too early) and peaked at a meager #29 on the mainstream rock charts, "Send the Pain Below" was one of the biggest rock songs of 2003, topping both the mainstream and modern charts and even reaching a respectable, if unspectacular #66 on the pop charts.
The success had much to do with timing, but it also had to do with "Send the Pain Below" simply being one of the best pop-metal songs of the decade. There are a couple things it does that even sort of beats "Be Quiet" at its own game, most notably in the superior way it uses dynamics. After that song's short intro, it pegs the intensity at 10 and doesn't let up for the rest of the song (minus the brief fake ending, anyway)–which is great in its own way, but stunts the power of the one-word chorus a little. By contrast, "Send the Pain Below" does its main hook the favor of keeping things low and lazy on the verses, barely even registering the guitar for parts of it and letting the rumbling, cranked-up bass provide most of the musical texture–a slightly risky move, but one that proves just as captivating as blasting guitars at full speed. Then rather than wail over it, Loeffler emits the verses in a kind of hushed, warbly moan, more reminiscent of Maynard James Keenan, lead singer of Tool–the other band that Chevelle always gets compared to, and the Deftones' primary peer as far as late-90s alt-metal went. It's the best of both worlds, a stunning combination.
The lyrics helped out a little, too. Many of the motifs are highly reminiscent of their predecessors–internalizing pain in general is a very Deftones-esque concept, as is suffocation–but they're related in a far more accessible way. It's basically just a song about being in a relationship–probably a romantic one, but hell, maybe the other Loefflers just ganged up on Pete a little too much as a kid–whose constant emotional abuse has taken its toll on the singer, to the point of near-literal cardiac arrest. It doesn't beat you over the head with its subject, but it's far from subtle either, giving listeners a sort of tangible narrative to hang on to. Couple that with the affirmative, de-personalized video of a snowboarder getting his ass kicked by a mountain, but rising above it to eventually land some nifty tricks at the end, and you have a song that's both visceral and easily relatable to all audiences, without needing a lyric sheet to translate. It's not poetry, but it gets the point across, and if you don't want to shout out the "MUCH LIKE SUFFO-CAAAATING!!!" part when you get to the chorus, then maybe this genre really doesn't have that much to offer you after all.
And if so, you know what? At the time, I thought that nu-metal and its various sub-genric spawns had nothing to offer me, either. But listening to songs like "Send the Pain Below" in retrospect, I realize that like the post-grunge boom in the mid-90s, the success of those rap/metal bands in the late 90s made a lot of really cool hits possible that otherwise would have ended up like those Deftones classics, just barely scraping the charts on their way to cult status. Not that there wasn't a lot of terrible shit to go with it, but in the case of Chevelle–who would also go on to make a handful of other good, smaller hits over the course of the decade, like "Vitamin R," "The Clincher" and "I Get It"–it resulted in an adrenaline-pumping, obscenely pretty song getting the commercial respect it deserved. It won't be the last nu-metal-derived song on this list, either.

I remember when they were underground Christian rock sensations.
June 16, 2009 at 12:07 pm
I would rather set my face on fire than ever have to listen to this song again. Chevelle are, I think, just about the worst goddamn band even in the basement-shitty genre they come from. They're the musical equivalent of an omelet made of armpit hair. So, yeah — I honestly can't even read this article.
Out of the million better songs you could have picked for this genre ("The Diary of Jane," "Headstrong," "Thruogh Glass," any Papa Roach song) you picked this?? Jesus Christ.
June 16, 2009 at 12:47 pm
LOL @ saying "Headstrong" is better than anything.
This particular Chevelle number bloomed a little late in my MTV2 years to make a lasting impact. "The Red" was always the more crucial single of theirs for me, personally.
The real debate: Chevelle – "SEEIN' RED AGAAAAIIIIN" vs. Unwritten Law "Seein' Red"
But that's a whole other series of 100+ blog entries.
June 18, 2009 at 12:00 pm
As for me the only Chevelle song that ever made an impression was "Point #1", which never went anywhere.

John Cena – I thought this was a strange pick since the odds on favorite to move was Orton. For shock value with the live crowd I think it did the job even if this was only to last till the end of the night. I think this might be a first with someone being moved to a brand then right back at the end of the night. Triple is the only other one who came close but I think he was moved back during the supplemental draft the next day. I'll have to look that one up for a refresher.
Randy Orton – This pick made a lot of sense after losing Edge to permanent injury and was one of the picks I had made prior to RAW last night. Orton has been lost in the shuffle on RAW since turning face and a move to Friday nights where he can be the big boy on campus was the way to go. I'm sure they will put the title on him by year's end.
Mark Henry – My biggest problem with Mark Henry on RAW is that everything he was on ECW or Smackdown was thrown out the window! He was a serious heel and with his size and look worked to put him over as a credible contender. After moving to RAW he's been in good-guy limbo. I hope that with this move they go back to the monster character he was years ago.
Sin Cara – One of my other picks for being moved primarily for the fact that Smackdown is taped and they can edit out any fuck-ups that might happen during his matches. Plus I think he'll have a better time shining with the smaller guys that are on Smacky.
Daniel Bryan – Great move. I am hoping this helps Bryan blow up and get some solid matches instead of being used as comedy bullshit on RAW.
The Great Khali – yeah, I don't care about Khali either way or on whatever brand. This is a wash.
Jimmy Uso – At first it seemed like they were splitting up the Uso's which was feeling like a future endeavor trip but after Jay got moved to it seems the team still alive for now. I still don't think it will mean shit for them.
Alicia Fox – the former undefined champion hadn't been seen on RAW in a while so it made sense but who cares.
William Regal – Another great move! I hope this means Regal will be back in the ring. It would be cool to see Regal and Bryan team up and maybe get a run with the tag titles.
Yoshi Tatsu – Good for Tatsu but I don't think they will do shit with him unfortunately.
Natalya – They could have left her on RAW to take on Kharma but I guess she can go and feud with McCool again… yay…
Jay Uso – see Jimmy Uso.
Ted DiBiase – Moving Ted seems like a wise choice but until this kid finds his own niche he's going to be a permanent fixture on WWE Superstars.
Tyson Kidd – With a lot more smaller guys ending up on Smackdown I think it will set up for a good set of matches especially on a show that tends to let matches run longer. Kidd is still missing something and I think the big bodyguard was the way to go… before they pulled the plug a few weeks later.
Tamina – See Jimmy and Jay Uso. I guess the Santino love affair is over.
Alex Riley – Makes NO sense! First off the angle with Riley was that he was being "paid" by Miz since he didn't win NXT. Also Riley was a good lacky for Miz and splitting him from Miz was a bad move… again!
United States Champion Sheamus – Just as Sheamus was getting his heat back on RAW they pull him off the show!? This makes no sense especially when he still is the US Champion. Yes they can have him drop the title at the ppv on Sunday but the title was now part of his gimmick!? Bad move unless they have something up their sleeve.
Rey Mysterio – I think it was wise to move Rey with moving Cara to Smackdown. I think its smart to keep the two masked guys on different shows. Rey should be able to survive on RAW this time around.
Big Show – I don't think moving show is going to make a difference. Being part of the tag champs means he can go to both shows so for now he is still on Smackdown.
Alberto Del Rio – It was speculated that they were going to move ADR but when you have CM Punk and he should be your big heel this just doesn't make sense. I think ADR should be winning the World Title and if he wasn't going to win it at this ppv they, I'm sure were going to put it on him at some point. Now they will have to build him back up to the title picture. Lame.
John Cena (back to RAW) – Fuck. I was looking forward to NOT having to post on this dudes matches…
Jack Swagger – With Michael Cole on RAW primarily it only made sense for Swagger to follow him there. Hopefully this leads Swagger for a bigger push.
Kelly Kelly – Don't care either way.
JTG – Wont mean shit.
Drew McIntyre – He'll probably get pushed the same way. He wont make a big difference.
Curt Hawkins – They only way this makes sense if they reunite him with Zack Ryder.
Chris Masters – His role wont change.
Kofi Kingston – It would be nice to think Kofi will now get a good run on RAW but it wont happen. He'll still have the same roll too.
Tyler Reks – Don't care.
Beth Phoenix – With Kharma coming in I think they wanted to pair her up with a good working down the road and Phoenix is it. This made sense.
Italic = drafted last night on RAW.

Oh April, you sneaky little devil you. You like to pretend you're all sugar and spice and everything sickly sweet and nice… but then, WHAM! You go and make me a year older once again. When will I ever learn that you just can't be trusted?
Ah, but I am learning, albeit at a slower-than-a-snail's pace. This year I did my research and discovered that, on your birthday, and your birthday only, a certain ferry service gives you a free ticket to Catalina Island. Free! And it's normally not a cheap little ride, either. Yes, they're assuming you'll bring along a bunch of your ticket-paying friends, but… ha ha! Joke's on them! I have no friends to bring along, so… uh… (excuse me while I go cry in the corner for a minute)… instead of moping about, contemplating my impending mortality, I decided to hop on a boat and head off for uncharted, touristy waters.
Now, since I've got the loudmouthed cat-machine at home, who misses me terribly when I'm gone for even a couple of hours, I didn't want to stay overnight. So the plan was to just go, look around a bit, have lunch, and call it a day. Nothing too big. I was also extremely nervous that, since I'm prone to car-sickness and air-sickness and amusement-park-ride-sickness, and I've had a couple instances of outright vertigo (jeez, you'd think I'd be a lot skinnier with all that vomit coming out of me)… that I'd be a wreck on the boat and then I'd be sick and alone on an island all day waiting for my ride back home. That'd seriously be the worst birthday ever.
Well, nothing ventured nothing gained! Right?
The recommendation for seasick-prone individuals was to sit outside in the breeze, and then to be sure to stare off into the horizon instead of focusing on the movement of the boat. Which is exactly what I did. It was kind of touch and go for a while; if I moved my head even a little, I felt enormously dizzy. But thankfully, it never ended up developing into full-blown nausea, and over the course of the hour-long ride I started acclimating little-by-little. And the cool breeze helped a lot.
And once we docked at Catalina? I stood up and wasn't seasick! Hallelujah!
Since I only had a few hours, I planned on going on two short tours. One was a general bus ride around the island. And the other was a tour of the "Casino", which isn't a place of gambling, but rather a dance hall and theater space.
I had really wanted to book a zipline tour of the island, since I was feeling brave and stupid after my trapeze stint, but sadly it was popular enough it had been sold out for months already. Darn.
Ah, but never fear. There was plenty of alternative entertainment to be had. The island tour ended up resembling a hilarious childhood trip on a school bus. The driver/tour guide kept yelling at people to sit down in the back, and at one point pulled over and threatened to kick a particular lady out if she didn't sit her butt down. Classic! We did, though, stop at a bunch of places so we could take pictures, and as luck would have it, I was seated next to the open-air "window" with the best view. Take that, lady-in-the-back! (And now sit yourself back down!)
I also learned that there's no hospital on Catalina. Or rather, they can't do any surgery. If you have an accident, you have to be air-lifted off of the island. Likewise, if you're pregnant, you have to leave a couple weeks before your due date, just in case. Yiikes! I do not want to know how much an air-lifting would cost you.
For lunch I had a buffalo burger… because there are buffalos on the island, apparently? I seem to recall going to a Native American Museum as a kid in Oklahoma, being shown the majesty of live buffalo, and then was given the option to eat buffalo burgers for lunch (I passed). I guess I'm much less sensitive now, because… bring on the buffalo! Or rather, bring on the meat that tastes exactly like hamburger!
The Casino tour ended up being very short. I think we were taken to two rooms and then stood on an outside balcony chatting with each other for a while. Some young lady asked to have her picture taken with me, and I'm still wondering what the heck that was for. I can only assume it's because of my newly-dyed turquoise-tipped hair, but I'm also not unconvinced that I wasn't mistaken for a Japanese pop star. Maybe one of those AKB48 girls? No? Okay… if you say so. I still think there's a striking resemblance.
We did get to see the inside of the theater, though, which featured some fascinating acoustics, intricate murals on the walls, an organ that I really really wanted to test drive, and little twinkling lights in the ceiling. Overall, pretty nifty.
Before arriving on the island, everyone who was celebrating a birthday had been given a little ribbon to wear around town so that people would know it's your birthday (and you also got discounts at certain places with it). That also meant that you got to meet a bunch of people with the same birthday as you. Silly, but kind of fun. Also, random strangers would wish you a happy birthday just because. And it turns out one married couple in our tour group were both celebrating birthdays. What are the odds of that!
On the ride back home, I grabbed another outdoor seat on the boat, and was pleasantly surprised I felt much less dizzy than on the way over. I think the waves are less choppy heading back to Long Beach at that time of the day, so… yea!
I admittedly didn't take full advantage of my visit; there's a lot more you can do, particularly of the water-sport or nature variety. But, it was an enjoyable day that didn't end in seasickness. And that's exactly what I was looking for.
Did I mention I didn't get seasick?! (Just thought I'd mention it.)

Taking the step to open one's own business is a major decision. Some Ohio residents may dream of starting their own company for years before moving forward with plans, and others may never feel that the time is right to follow this dream. In some cases, it may help individuals to consider the idea of having a co-owner for their business.
Succession planning can be broken into manageable steps
Do you know what will happen to your business if you pass away unexpectedly? Do you have a plan for your business after your retirement? If you cannot answer these questions, you probably do not have a succession plan in place.Without a succession plan, it may be difficult for your business to continue beyond your retirement or unexpected death. Without clear direction, family members may fight each other for control of the business. Alternatively, there may not be anyone willing and qualified to step into your shoes. Neither option bodes well for the business.
Professional help is often useful for real estate deals
Most Ohio residents will move at some point in their lives. If they are moving as adults, they may have the obligation of ensuring that their homes are sold. Of course, real estate can be a tricky industry to navigate, and it is easy for simple mistakes to put deals at risk.
