WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is undoing restrictions that limited which surplus military items can be transferred to local police departments, a move cheered by Pennsylvania's Republican U.S. senator and the state's Fraternal Order of Police, who said it will give officers tools needed for protection and save tax dollars.
The change reverses limitations made in 2015 by the Obama administration that prevented law enforcement agencies from accessing camouflage uniforms, bullet-proof vests, riot shields, firearms, ammunition and other items previously available under a Pentagon program.
Obama had said in announcing the change that certain military gear can "alienate and intimidate" local residents and "send the wrong message." His policy decision was triggered in part by public outrage after police used riot gear and armored vehicles in responding to the Ferguson, Mo., protests over the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Trump's decision to applause Monday at a national convention of the Fraternal Order of Police.
U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey had opposed the equipment restrictions, writing in a May 2015 letter to the Obama administration that limiting access to certain gear would put police officers' lives at greater risk. He also introduced a bill to reverse the restrictions and require the executive branch to return gear that had been seized from local police departments.
"Our police officers should be at least as well equipped as the criminals and terrorists who attack them," Toomey said in a statement, describing items like riot helmets and armored vehicles as "vital" to protecting officers and civilians in situations like the response to the San Bernardino, Calif., and Orlando terror attacks.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., was critical of the policy change and of the funding reductions that the Trump administration had proposed for law enforcement grants.
"Instead of sending battlefield equipment, like tanks, into our communities, Congress ought to fund the law enforcement programs that keep our communities and police officers safe," Casey said in a statement.
The NAACP Legal Defense Fund is among those who opposed the change, saying in a statement Sunday night it is "exceptionally dangerous and irresponsible" for the administration to lift the ban.
"The president's decision to make this change in the wake of the tragedy in Charlottesville and against a backdrop of frayed relations between police and communities of color further reflects this administration's now open effort to escalate racial tensions in our country," the organization said.
Law enforcement agencies throughout Pennsylvania that have used the program, created by Congress in 1990, have received $17 million worth of surplus military gear, according to data from the Defense Logistics Agency. Those items range from storage trunks and cold-weather gear, to night-vision goggles and rifles, to armored vehicles acquired before the restrictions.
The Bethlehem Police Department has acquired 36 items valued at nearly $40,000, including 20 rifles, several pieces of camera equipment, some rain gear, and a heavy-duty plastic storage trunk that the department's chief, Mark DiLuzio, uses to store gear in his car.
"Those things can cost several hundred dollars," DiLuzio said.
DiLuzio said he's "not interested" in acquiring tanks or armored vehicles for his department, but he did view the past restrictions on the program as "a rush to judgment" by the prior administration that overlooked the local cost savings enabled by the program.
Local departments typically are only responsible for any costs to maintain and then ship the equipment.
Trump vowed to rescind the executive order in a written response to a Fraternal Order of Police questionnaire that helped him win an endorsement from the organization of rank-and-file officers.
In announcing the change at the national FOP gathering Monday, Sessions said the previous restrictions went too far: "We will not put superficial concerns above public safety."
Among those in the audience was Les Neri, president of the Pennsylvania FOP lodge. He said Sessions drew significant applause among the 5,000 law enforcement officers in attendance. Neri said the Obama administration's changes "severely restricted" agencies, though he did not immediately have any specific examples of Pennsylvania agencies being blocked from items they sought.
"I would say the law enforcement community is extremely happy to hear this because for us, it is a way to access what can be life-saving equipment for the men and women who are put in harm's way," Neri said.

Contrary to polupar belief, Christian liberty does not say, "I have the freedom to do anything that makes my life better." Instead, Christian liberty says, "I now have the freedom to do whatever Christ wants me to do." So many people get this wrong today. Don't be one of them!

Surrey Square, Walworth, 1973
Surrey Square is by far Walworth's greatest surviving legacy of the Georgian period. It was built by the architect Michael Searles in 1793 to 1794.
Searles was surveyor to the West Estate and also built his own house in the Old Kent Road (No.155) and, far grander than Surrey Square, a Paragon at the junction of Old and New Kent Roads.
Surrey Square was never completed as a square.
The Paragon was very similar to his other surviving one at Blackheath.

Let's talk briefly about pruning. I am very chagrined about the pruning atrocities I see throughout our peninsula. I'm sure pruning atrocities abound in other areas too, but every day whether I'm driving or walking, I can't help but notice what people have mistakenly done to our woody plants and trees. Surely they aren't doing it on purpose.
I know none of you would purposely butcher or maim a woody shrub or tree. However, if you're wondering if you could learn a bit more about pruning then here are a few tips to follow.
Know the plant. Many of us inherit a garden without any instructions or plant identification. During spring and summer when the plant is leafed out and blooming, carefully snip off an inconspicuous stem section (about one foot long if possible) for nursery staff or local Master Gardener to identify; or bring it to the Extension Office in downtown Bremerton, 345 6th Street, Suite 550. Good digital photos work, too, but make sure to show something in the image to indicate scale and size of the sample.
Second and perhaps most important is to know the correct time of year to prune or if the plant should even be pruned. Some plants flower on old wood, others need pruning in the fall and others need pruning in summer. Know your plant before whacking away at it. Also know if it's an ornamental or fruiting plant. It's sometimes difficult to know if it's a flowering ornamental cherry or plum desired for its blossoms or for fruit production bearing edible cherries or plums. Ornamental trees should rarely be pruned and fruit producing trees need pruning nearly every year. Know the tree!
Third, and also very important, is to use sharp, clean tools. Use bypass pruners rather than long straight blade type pruners. The long blade tools are for shearing hedges not for clean-cut pruning. Pruning saws are also important depending on the size of the woody stems and branches to be removed. We'll talk about pruning in more detail in a future column.

According to Howard Balzer, the San Francisco 49ers brought in six free agents for workouts on Tuesday including RBs Charcandrick West and Shane Vereen.
The full list of tryouts for the 49ers includes:
- RB Matthew Dayes
- RB Andre Ellington
- RB Jeremy McNichols
- RB Shane Vereen
- RB Charcandrick West
- QB Jack Heneghan
Of this group, the 49ers elected to sign Dayes to their practice squad.
West, 27, originally signed on with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Abilene Christian back in 2014. He returned to the Chiefs on an exclusive rights contract in 2016 before agreeing to a three-year, $4.2 million contract.
West was set to make a base salary of $1.45 million for the 2018 season when the Chiefs released him. The Jets signed him to a contract in August but waived him as they trimmed their roster down to the 53-man limit.
In 2017, West appeared in 13 games for the Chiefs and rushed for 72 yards on 18 carries (4 YPC) to go along with 27 receptions for 150 yards receiving and four total touchdowns.
Vereen, 29, is a former second-round pick of the Patriots back in 2011. He played out his rookie contract with the Pats before signing a three-year, $12.35 million with the Giants back in March of 2015.
Vereen took a pay cut to be back with the Giants last year and finished out his contract with the team.
The Saints signed him to a contract back in July only to place him on injured reserve last month before releasing him with a settlement.
In 2017, Vereen appeared in all 16 games for the Giants and rushed for 164 yards on 45 carries (3.6 YPC) to go along with 44 receptions for 23 yards receiving and no touchdowns. He also contributed 196 kick return yards.

EU-China Summit – Brussels, 29 June 2015
The 17th bilateral summit between the European Union and the People's Republic of China will take place in Brussels on Monday 29 June 2015. The EU will be represented by Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission and by Donald Tusk, President of the European Council. China will be represented by Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council. High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the Commission Federica Mogherini will also participate, as will Vice President for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness Jyrki Katainen and Commissioner for Trade Cecilia Malmström. Marking the 40th anniversary of EU-China diplomatic relations, this will be the first visit by Premier Li to the EU in his current capacity and the first Summit with China for the Presidents of the Council and the Commission since they took office. This Summit will provide the first opportunity to review the implementation of the EU-China 2020 Strategic Agenda for Cooperation ('Agenda 2020') at the highest level and to set priorities to take forward the EU-China Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in the years to come. The Summit will also provide an opportunity to discuss key international and regional issues and to identify opportunities for the EU and China to work together to address these effectively. President Juncker will also speak at the Business Summit and the Urbanisation Forum taking place on the side of the Summit. In addition, an Innovation Dialogue will be taking place in parallel.

European Commission marks International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking
26 June marks the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, which was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1987 as a reminder of the goals agreed by UN Member States to create an international society free of drug abuse. To highlight the occasion, today the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addictions (EMCDDA) launched an analysis on "Drugs policy and the city in Europe" that looks at 10 European capitals with a dedicated drug strategy: Berlin, Bucharest, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Lisbon, Prague, Madrid, Stockholm, Vienna and Warsaw. The report focuses on four topics: urban spaces and drug use; business and recreational drug use; city-level drug policies; and the coordination and funding of city-level policies. Dimitris Avramopoulos, Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship, said: "Around one million seizures of illicit drugs are reported annually in Europe, while the Internet is increasingly becoming a new source of drugs supply. We need to join forces at international, EU, regional and local levels to address the drugs challenges, prevent drug use, treat addicts and disrupt drug trafficking. We also need a fast and effective EU system for addressing the challenges of new psychoactive substances and I hope that Parliament and Council will be able to make progress on the negotiation of the Commission's proposals." In September 2013, the European Commission put forward a legislative proposal that will enable the EU to act swiftly and more effectively in addressing the challenges of new psychoactive substances. As part of the legislative process, the proposal is now under discussion by the Parliament and the Council of the European Union. Moreover, on 4 June 2015 the EMCDDA issued the European Drug Report 2015: Trends and Developments. (For more information: Natasha Bertaud – Tel.: +32 229 67456; Milica Petrovic – Tel.: +32 229 63020)
The Commission approves 'Obazda'/'Obatzter' as a new Protected Geographical Indication (PGI)
The Commission has approved the addition of a new German product to the register of Protected Geographical Indications (PGIs). 'Obazda'/'Obatzter' is a Bavarian cheese product made with ripe cheese (mainly Camembert and/or Brie), butter, paprika powder and salt. The name 'Obazda'/'Obatzter' describes the production method, namely the crushing and mixing of various ingredients to produce a spread. In Bavarian dialect the term 'obatzn' is used for this. It has a long tradition in Bavaria and has accordingly become an integral part of the Bavarian beer garden culture. The denomination will be added to the list of more than 1,200 products already protected. More information: webpages on quality products and DOOR database of protected products.

Mergers: Commission clears acquisition of Nordic Cinema by Bridgepoint
The European Commission has approved under the EU Merger Regulation the acquisition of Nordic Cinema Group Holding AB of Sweden by Bridgepoint Advisers Group Limited of the United Kingdom. Nordic Cinema Group is a cinema operator active in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden. Bridgepoint is a private equity group. The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would not raise competition concerns, because Bridgepoint is not active in the same markets as Nordic Cinema Group or in any related markets. The transaction was examined under the simplified merger review procedure. More information is available on the Commission's competition website, in the public case register under the case number M.7647.

EUROSTAT: EU trade with China significantly up in 2014 for both goods and services
Except for the drop recorded in 2009 following the financial crisis, the value of European Union (EU)imports of goods from China has significantly increased over the last decade, from €129.2 bn in 2004 to a peak of €302.5 bn in 2014. Exports, which did not decline in 2009, have more than tripled over the period 2004-2014 to hit €164.7 bn last year. The EU trade deficit with China, continuous during the whole period, decreased between 2010 and 2013, before growing again in 2014 to -€137.7 bn. China is the second most important EU trading partner behind the United States, accounting for 14% of total extra-EU trade in goods in 2014 (compared with 9% in 2004). Over this 10-year time period, the share of China in extra-EU imports increased from 12.6% in 2004 to 18.0% in 2014, and its share in exports almost doubled (5.1% in 2004 vs. 9.7% in 2014). A press release is available here. (For more information: Daniel Rosario – Tel: +32 229 56185; Joseph Waldstein – Tel.: +32 229 56184)

« Crown Him Lord of All | Main | Priceless Ransom »
"True goodness, the only kind that really counts, is a gift from God; you can't fake it, you can't earn it, and you can't profit from it, at least not on purpose."
OK. That's pretty close.
The way I'd put it is that
1) A person who is trying to do what is right so that s/he will avoid hell and secure heaven is not doing what is right.
2) A person who is trying to do what is right so that s/he will bring about good consequences in this life is not doing what is right.
3) In this life, there is no regular and predictable connection between good consequences and right action. Right action is often just as likely to have bad consequences.
So right action is to be divorced from any good consequences we can foresee in this life or the next. It is about following the moral law, because it is the moral law.
We should keep our promises, tell the truth, protect life, help the poor, minister to the sick, etc. principally because the law commands us to do so. Insofar as we have any other hopes or desires about the outcome, they should be epiphenomenal.
In other words, right actions can only ever be performed by those who have a characteristically Christian outlook. Where:
A) Salvation is apart from works (justification),
B) Temporal benefits are viewed with a sublime indifference (sanctification).
Those who don't have this outlook seem to doomed never to perform a right act.
Because of this, again, the idea of salvation by works is self-defeating.
On the other hand, those without the outlook mentioned in A and B are free to perform as many wrong acts as they would like. And those who go to hell are sent there because of their wrong actions in this life. (Of course, they continue to commit wrong actions there, thus extending their sentence indefinitely.)
In short, everyone seems to have all the freedom in the world to do evil and go to hell as a result. But only those who trust in Christ for a salvation apart from works have the freedom to do anything else.
>>Therefore, I maintain, if you are a Calvinist and you behave morally in this life, you are either doing it because you're a secular humanist on the inside, or you're doing it just in case you're wrong about God (or, I suppose, you could be doing it because you haven't given the matter any thought, and you're on behavioral autopilot).
Or we could be doing it because God has enabled us to love the good, the true, and the beautiful, and because we love to reflect the God whom we love to the world through our actions, or because we know the joy of both those things, even when they involve suffering or denying ourselves something.
It's very odd to me that you think that everything we do must be determined by fear of hell or a desire to save ourselves in order to make sense or be meaningful. It's a self-focus that doesn't really make sense in light of the Christian's relationship with a real Person around whom our lives revolve. We don't look at the Christian life as a way to push buttons on a salvation machine.
That's sweet.
You define "right action," not only as a kind of action, but in terms of "a person trying to do" some other kind of action. And you go on to say:
…those who go to hell are sent there because of their wrong actions in this life.
(And you go on to imply that one's stay in hell might not be forever but, instead, that one's actions might continually cause one to stay.)
In other words, it sounds as though there are actions we're capable of performing in this life which can influence our fates in the next life. (Or even actions we're capable of performing in the next life which continue to have influence.)
But, to the contrary, you—and Vic, and Mr. Koukl—have assured me that any such action as could be performed in this life is irrelevant to one's fate in the next life. If there were such an action one could take in this life, then God's freedom would effectively be constrained by people who take that action.
If this is your position, it would be great leap in clarity if you would stop talking as though there were courses of action available to people which could influence their fates in the next life. If this is not your position, then what the hell are we arguing about?
>>Amy, That's sweet.
Sweet or not, it's the answer.
Regardless, I've warned you about condescension before, and I'm serious about it, as you know.
The tone of the blog comments here is important to whether or not free discussion takes place. I've been letting some of it go in your comments, but if it becomes clear to me that this is the way you still plan to regularly interact with the other guests here, then that will be the end of it.
"But, to the contrary, you—and Vic, and Mr. Koukl—have assured me that any such action as could be performed in this life is irrelevant to one's fate in the next life."
Sorry, but I never said that. What you'll find me saying repeatedly is that we are powerless to do anything to get into heaven, but we have all the power in the world to go to hell.
What you'll find me saying repeatedly is that we are powerless to do anything to get into heaven, but we have all the power in the world to go to hell.
Does this mean that you could force God to send you to hell? That He is free to damn your soul to hell no matter what, but He's not necessarily free to save you?
Sweet or not, it's the answer.
It's the beginning, all over again, of my conversation with Vic: "...anyone who is truly a Christian will do as he does out of grattitude to His Creator..for what he knows Christ has already done for him. He does not concern himself with what 'reward' He may recieve. (He already HAS eternal life..what more can he desire????) He knows that 'The Lord of all the earth will do right'...and lives his life accordingly."
(Not that that conversation ever really advanced beyond its beginning.)
Which is to say, it doesn't contribute anything, beyond some additional denigration of people who aren't indifferent to the prospect of eternal torment.
...I've warned you about condescension before, and I'm serious about it, as you know.
I do remember you taking offense at something I said in a comment, and taking the opportunity to ignore everything else in the comment (although you did correctly point out that, anyway, there was nothing to be gained from continuing).
But I find it hard to believe that you've read through the few threads I've been a part of, including this one, and decided that I'm lowering the tone. Do you think I'm not sincere? That there are smirks between every line, or something?
If you want me to stop commenting on this blog, then say so. If you simply object to the use of "hell" as an expletive, then say so. (I thought it was funny at the time, but it was kind of early in the morning.) If you want to address my actual questions, then please do! I'll give you the Cliffs Notes:
According to Mr. Koukl et al, the eternal consequences of doing the right thing are identical to the eternal consequences of doing anything else. Nothing done in this life can change your fate in the next. Can I not conclude, then, that God does not "hold us responsible for the wrong we do"? That no good deed can get you off the hook, and no bad deed can make your punishment any worse? That, if Hitler is in hell, he's not there because of what he did on earth, but because that's just where (most) people go? That salvation, from our perspective, is a lottery? a coin flip minus the good odds? an inevitable, unalterable fact of existence, with no more power to persuade than grass growing? If not, why not?
I have a query in regard to the vessels unto honor and dishonor in Romans 9:22-23. Is Paul speaking of the pots themselves or what is being carried in the pots? Does "vessels of wrath fitted to destruction" mean that the vessel itself is to be destroyed, or that the contents of the vessel (such as filth) is to be cast out?
"Does this mean that you could force God to send you to hell?"
If I am free to go to hell, it does not follow that my choice to go to hell forces God to send me there. He is freely leaving me free to go there.
Do you believe that deliberate action is possible in this life which can influence one's fate in the next life? Whether you do or not, why not simply say so?
Once again, we are powerless to do anything to get into heaven...so we can't influence our fate in that direction. But we have all the power in the world to go to hell...so we can influence our fate in the other direction.
Once again: do you really mean to say that you could prevent God from saving you, against His wishes? That seems like an unlikely abridgment of His power. But if that's not what you mean, then what do you mean?
Every one of us deserves to go to hell, right? And every one of us will go to hell, unless God chooses to save us, right? But, if so, why talk as though "we have the power to go to hell"? It's just something that happens to us, if the other thing doesn't happen to us. We have no power in either case. Why talk as though we do?
Why not simply say, "No deliberate action in this life can influence your fate in the next life"?
Oh! I see! You think I'm a four-, five- or six-point Calvinist and that I believe in irresistible grace! Perhaps we have been talking past one another on that point.
I'm a Lutheran. I don't believe in irresistible grace (to cite one example).
God desires, all things equal, that I should go to heaven. God desires this for all sinners. But I can go to hell in spite of that.
Hi Janney, since you were originally talking about the Calvinistic view of freedom, sovereignty, and human responsibility, and it appears that there's a difference between the Lutheran view and the Reformed view, I thought I would give you what the Westminster Confession of Faith says about it. If you will take the time to read it carefully, you might see that there's no capriciousness regarding God's eternal decrees. You might see a big cosmic bully in the doctrine of predestination, but like Amy described earlier [to your teasing], we see a merciful, longsuffering, holy and awesome Being Who has paid dearly for us.
I hope you'll try to understand what's below, even though many Christians dont--if nothing else, it'll give you the real McCoy to know instead of a caracature.
Here is chapter 3,
I. God from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass;[1] yet so, as thereby neither is God the author of sin,[2] nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures; nor is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established.[3]
II. Although God knows whatsoever may or can come to pass upon all supposed conditions;[4] yet has He not decreed anything because He foresaw it as future, or as that which would come to pass upon such conditions.[5]
III. By the decree of God, for the manifestation of His glory, some men and angels[6] are predestinated unto everlasting life; and others foreordained to everlasting death.[7]
IV. These angels and men, thus predestinated, and foreordained, are particularly and unchangeably designed, and their number so certain and definite, that it cannot be either increased or diminished.[8]
V. Those of mankind that are predestinated unto life, God, before the foundation of the world was laid, according to His eternal and immutable purpose, and the secret counsel and good pleasure of His will, has chosen, in Christ, unto everlasting glory,[9] out of His mere free grace and love, without any foresight of faith, or good works, or perseverance in either of them, or any other thing in the creature, as conditions, or causes moving Him thereunto;[10] and all to the praise of His glorious grace.[11]
VI. As God has appointed the elect unto glory, so has He, by the eternal and most free purpose of His will, foreordained all the means thereunto.[12] Wherefore, they who are elected, being fallen in Adam, are redeemed by Christ,[13] are effectually called unto faith in Christ by His Spirit working in due season, are justified, adopted, sanctified,[14] and kept by His power, through faith, unto salvation.[15] Neither are any other redeemed by Christ, effectually called, justified, adopted, sanctified, and saved, but the elect only.[16]
VII. The rest of mankind God was pleased, according to the unsearchable counsel of His own will, whereby He extends or withholds mercy, as He pleases, for the glory of His sovereign power over His creatures, to pass by; and to ordain them to dishonor and wrath for their sin, to the praise of His glorious justice.[17]
VIII. The doctrine of this high mystery of predestination is to be handled with special prudence and care,[18] that men, attending the will of God revealed in His Word, and yielding obedience thereunto, may, from the certainty of their effectual vocation, be assured of their eternal election.[19] So shall this doctrine afford matter of praise, reverence, and admiration of God;[20] and of humility, diligence, and abundant consolation to all that sincerely obey the Gospel.[21]
If you want to discuss any of these paragraphs, I'm game.
"I'm game."
Shhhhh. It looks like we are stalking a six-point Calvinist. I presume that the numbers refer to verses of Scripture. I will have to check them out to make the necessary adjustments to my scope.
Thank you for your time.
Brad B,
I do appreciate the work you've done to provide this material. But after a few days of WisdomLover games, I think I'm ready to take Amy's import to heart, and just stop asking people questions.
Just to be crystal clear Janney, My position is:
1) Salvation by grace apart from works.
2) Damnation on account of works.
I don't think we have been talking past each other on item #1, because that is a point of agreement between Calvinists and Lutherans. And it is a point of disagreement between you and me. I have been attacking the alternative to item #1 (salvation by works) as incoherent.
I think we may have been talking past each other on item #2. That is a point of disagreement between Calvinists and Lutherans. If you were assuming that I was a Calvinist, that point might have been confusing.
I have sighted my quarry!
I searched on "author of sin,[2]" and found the following site with live links of the numbers to Scripture:
Now to check the Confession against the Scripture....
Scope adjustment: two clicks up for range, one click to right for wind...
References [5] and [10], Romans 9:11:
"For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth."
Gen: 25:22 tells us that the two babes struggled in Rebecca's womb. Struggle is strife, a symptom of evil. So babes can be sentient of good and evil (maybe not all, these two could be a special case because they are of the royal line; also, John the Baptist could be a special case). So the election referred to in Rom 9:11 had to occur in an earlier stage of the pregnancy and does not preclude choices made later in the pregnancy by Jacob and Esau.
Hi Johnnie, you make little sense to me--sorry. For your information, the Westminster Confession of Faith is the codification/sytemetizing of historic Protestant Christianity. Maybe you are Roman Catholic, I dont know but your words seem to indicate that you are denying historic Protestantism.
You might want to pick a scripture reference here or there and do some kind of special Johnnie exegesis like you did above to make a point and call out blam like some kind of tv entertainer putting emphasis on your meritless point, but you've done little to really understand the whole revelation on this topic. Slaying strawmen will get you nowhere and wastes time.
The powerful bullet rips through the heart of the papier-mache deer...made of chewed up wood.
I did pick a scripture reference: Gen 25:22. You have not addressed it.
And I picked a scripture reference about the parable of the dragnet and you have made no answer.
The straw man(deer)is you!
Johnnie, you are kidding right? Your commentary on Gen 25 is baseless and had little to say about the doctrine of election. Why do you make up the concept that these two were some sort of exception to the rule because they are in the "royal line". Did being the the royal line serve Esau at all?
Quite contrary to your make it up as you go--on the fly exegesis of Gen. 25:22, the Rom. 9:11 scripture refutes your supposed magic powerful bullet. Here it is for your edification.
"Rom. 9:11 for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls"
You said:"Struggle is strife, a symptom of evil. So babes can be sentient of good and evil"--your opinion is trumped by scripture when it says: "HAD NOT DONE ANY GOOD OR BAD". I suggest you get some commentaries to hlep you in your quest to deny the Reformed doctrine of predestination.
The dragnet noise you make is no better at addressing the issue regarding the force of the Greek word helko. Why dont you do this, find a commentary that deals with the parable of the dragnet that does makes your point and I'll deal with it, until then it isn't even a realistic challenge worthy of a response--if it was, I would've dealt with it.
I don't need to find a commentary. I found Scripture. The instances of dragnet use in Scripture are all nondiscriminatory. Like Peter and the 153 kinds of fishes.
He who takes up the helko will die on the helko.
The babes had not done any good or bad at some time BEFORE the struggle began. God's prophecy to Rebecca was given after the struggle began, and after the twins had begun their doing of good and evil.
Being of the royal line doesn't always help. Consider Absalom.
Hi Johnnie, so you are an island to yourself in interpretation? It wouldn't bother you that you are the only one who holds this strange view? Very dangerous, I think you better find some support, no, really.
Confessions and concordats were great when there was not as much access to the Bible for common people. But now everyone has online access to all Bible translations and some concordances. I expect we will see much more new research where people go to the original Source than seeing it through the tired eyes of others.
Time to go back to The Book, kid.
So, the historic Church documents are old and tired--those poor saps believed wrongly all that time. I guess the Holy Spirit was sleeping on the job, I guess Jesus cares little for His bride. Too bad you weren't around to set them straight. :-(
I wish you no ill will, Johnnie but I hope you live to regret your last statement. Endorsing the personal interpretation view of the scriptures is foolish and naive. I'll be ending my conversation with you on this topic.
You are the one who said: "I'm game". Then you scuttle for cover at the first challenge.
There are those who will be able to defend the old documents of the Church. But you will not be one of them.
A tail shows briefly as the fleeing beast disappears into the underbrush, never to be seen again.
"A tail shows briefly as the fleeing beast disappears into the underbrush, never to be seen again."
I would just ask you to please not speak to people this way on the blog. We encourage people to disagree, but please do so respectfully. Thanks.
It's a male thing. Our egos are delicate. We need our posturings and struttings. To you women, warfare is not a game. As Father Christmas said to Lucy: "Battles get ugly when women fight."
But I will cool it.
Thanks, Johnnie.
Even though it takes about ten clicks to get here now I wanted you to know that your thanks has been received.

Shawnee Mission East band backers fear program cuts
Supporters set to present petition to board members
Parents' concerns that budget cuts could hit the music program at Shawnee Mission East High School took their case to the district's board meeting Monday night.
Music program supporters said they're afraid that a music director's position will be reduced to part-time in future budgets, eliminating some classes and one of the school's two jazz bands.
"That's the biggest fear, that this will just go away," said Neal Eidemiller, who has two sons in Shawnee Mission East's music program.
The possible cuts reflect declining enrollment at Shawnee Mission East, a pattern that has continued for about a decade. Band parents said other schools have had enrollment drops without having cuts in the music budget.
Eidemiller said that while enrollment overall may be down, that's not the case with music.
"Band is not declining. In fact, enrollment is up in the last four years. It has been climbing. Therefore we don't understand why that program is kind of being singled out," he said.
The Shawnee Mission School District said there are no plans to reduce the music program, but the district is in the process of making staffing decisions for the upcoming school year.
Eidemiller told board members that once cuts begin in music programs, it's hard to get the money back in future budgets.
Former student Cameron Robles said music had benefits for him that went far beyond the specific music class.
It gave me focus. It gave me goals to work toward in school. So as I got better in jazz band, I saw my work progress, I saw myself get better in school," he said.

These search portals can sometimes open doors for you overseas if you're willing to travel. If you prefer to work locally, you should have the option to filter the results by country as well.
- Job Fairs
Job fairs are often held at schools and are aimed at students who are about to graduate. This is often because they want to hire fresh graduates for entry-level salaries. Still, if you can find a job fair where you can potentially find employment, go to them. It would be the best time to ask various companies any questions you may have.
- Calling Companies
It's sometimes better to not wait for a job opening. If you have a few companies that you want to work for, connect with them. You can go to their website, head over to their "Careers" page if they have one, and try your shot at it. You may also simply just call them up and ask if they have any vacant positions that you can possibly fill. If they do not have any openings at the moment, it's okay. Ask if you can leave your resume for future reference.

Paris Jackson's Playful Makeup Video Posted One Week Before Reported Suicide Attempt
Paris Jackson, the daughter of late singer Michael Jackson, was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday morning, and now more details are emerging pertaining to the reported suicide attempt and the 15-year-old's life. One glimpse into the surviving Jackson child's life is a makeup video that was uploaded to YouTube on May 31.
The 20-minute video shows Jackson in what she says is her bedroom doing a quirky makeup tutorial in which she shares random factoids about herself. For instance, she reveals that in the last year she's watched animated film Tangled "like three times a week." She also admits that as a child she had a fantasy of marrying a cowboy and having cowboy children.
After the video was posted to YouTube, Jackson took to Twitter to state that she didn't know how the video ended up on YouTube and to say, "I hope you guys liked it tho and didn't think i'm too crazy," she wrote. "i get weird when i'm not around people lol." During the video, in addition to putting on a face of makeup, she makes silly faces, talks in goofy voices and even plays some air guitar. It's a rare look inside the famous star's child's life that shows her goofing around much like your average teenager.
Since yesterday, multiple reports have emerged about what precipitated Jackson's early morning ambulance ride to the hospital. She allegedly called a suicide hotline and left a suicide note before taking a number of Motrin pills and then cutting herself with a meat cleaver, reported TMZ. A similar report from People stated that Jackson "cut her wrists with a kitchen knife and took as many as 20 ibuprofen tablets."
Prince Jackson, Paris's brother, has reportedly canceled a TV appearance to be with his sister. Jackson's aunt, La Toya Jackson, told ET that the family is asking for privacy as Jackson continues to recover and the family deals with the matters at hand.

Mobile payments are set to revolutionise how we shop in the UK. Following this week's news of the world's largest phone manufacturer releasing its mobile payment service in the UK, we could see a swift rise in popularity. But, how will it differ from the likes of Samsung and Android's services?
Samsung Pay and Android Pay both more of less do to the same job - they let you pay for stuff, in shops, using your smartphone. However, unlike competitors, Samsung won't need shops to buy new machines to read your phone's NFC (near field communication) sensor. Instead, it'll let you pay using the magnetic strip reader that's already in most card machines. Simply tapping your phone next to the strip reader will complete the transaction.
The service will run exclusively with the S6 and S6 edge for now, but will no doubt be introduced to future Samsung mobiles coming later this year.
Android Pay, formerly known as Google Wallet, has been around for a few years, but is a very slow burner. The service, which has just seen improvements following Google's I/O developer conference, will allow you to tap your phone on NFC readers to pay for goods and services, like using a contactless bank card.
The system will also use a PIN to begin with, but this will change in the coming months with Android's new OS, codenamed Android M. The update will bring fingerprint security to smartphones that already feature scanners.
Looking forward it's clear the technology is ready, secure and efficient. Smaller merchants are beginning to get on board with the hardware needed, so it won't be long before we can all confidently leave our debit cards at home when nipping out to pick up some bread.

Nanaware Vasti, a small dairy community of 187 people and 160 cattle in Ghoti village is making news. Water overflowing from a bore well fitted with a submersible pump used to inundate the surrounding area, resulting not only in the loss of precious ground water but also creating unsanitary conditions due to water logging around. In a village meeting, the community suggested constructing a tank to store the excess flow. Technicians from AFPRO worked out the estimates, and the tank was completed at a cost of Rs. 80,000, including Rs. 30,000 contributed by the community. People get piped water for drinking now, and the excess is used for horticulture activities on 10 acres of village common lands. The income from this will go into a Water Fund that will maintain the drinking water supply scheme.
35 villages in Vidharba and central Maharashtra (including Ghoti) are part of a broad-based programme for providing drinking water and sanitation facilities and encouraging enhanced hygiene. The programme supported by Water Aid, is touching the lives of 27,140 villagers in these villages. In its fourth running year, the programme has been instrumental in bringing in changes in personal hygiene and availability of drinking water.
Gramin Samasya Mukti Trust, one of the partners, has already taken the first steps towards sustaining the effects of the programme by forming a water and sanitation committee, whose job is to ensure participation from others. Federations of 13 villages and 18 hamlets have also been formed, which has started a Water Fund to repair and maintain the created infrastructure.

iPad Air 2 Gold Option Possibly Arriving Next Month
Gold has been a popular color option for iPhones ever since it was introduced a year ago with the iPhone 5s, and it seems that Apple will be doing the same thing with the new iPads that are expected to launch next month.
According to Bloomberg, Apple will add a gold color option to the iPad lineup for the first time come next month in an effort to hopefully get buyers to ogle over the new iPad color and increase sales.
However, the report only mentions the gold color option coming to the full-size iPad with no mention of whether or not we'll see the iPad mini arrive in gold at some point.
In any case, this will put the iPad on par with the iPhone as far as color options, offering Space Gray, Silver, and Gold options for buyers.
Apple is expected to release a new full-size iPad later next month, along with a new iPad mini. Not a whole lot is known about the iPad Air 2 or the iPad mini 3, but we've seen some leaked photos that suggest what we might see come next month.
The iPad Air 2 isn't expected to get a huge redesign, as the iPad Air was the model to see a major refresh. Apple typically doesn't overhaul its products' designs until a couple of generations have passed, so we can expect the iPad Air 2 to keep the same overall look as the iPad Air, except for some small, but impactful changes.
The new iPad could come with recessed volume and power buttons, as well as a redesigned speaker grille. The volume buttons look to keep the same design as the iPad Air, but are simply recessed slightly into the body of the tablet. As for the speaker grille, the leaked photos that we've seen show the iPad sporting a single horizontal line of larger holes, which is a drastic difference than the smaller holes that were arranged in two rows on the iPad Air.
Furthermore, it's already been rumored a couple times this year that the iPad would get Touch ID fingerprint sensor capabilities. We even saw hints of Touch ID capabilities in the code of iOS 7.1 back in April, and a few days later we heard that one of Apple's part suppliers were cranking out Touch ID fingerprint sensors in large quantities.
In a few lines of code in iOS 7.1, it's been discovered that Touch ID just might be headed to iPad sooner or later. Several of the lines of code that serve as the framework for Touch ID are being listed as compatible with both the iPhone and the iPad, which can only mean that Apple is at least testing out Touch ID functionality on the iPad.
Then again, code or no code, it seems likely that Apple will introduce Touch ID to the iPad lineup at some point, especially after how big of a feature it became with the iPhone 5s; it's certainly one of the best hardware features we've seen on an iOS product to date, and Apple will likely capitalize on that fact.
Touch ID was definitely one of the features that users were looking forward to ahead of the iPad Air event back in October last year, especially after it was introduced on the new iPhone 5s just a month earlier, but Apple sadly did not deliver such a feature.
Technically, we weren't too surprised about this, as it's possible that Apple wanted the Touch ID technology to be around for a year or so and see how it did before expanding the feature to other iOS devices. However, it's still a possibility with the iPad Air 2 that we'll most likely see later this year into the fall.

Kentucky men's basketball coach had some fun on Tuesday with some recent criticism directed his way.
On Saturday, after Calipari's Wildcats beat the North Carolina Tar Heels, Calipari wore jeans and a button-down shirt to his postgame press conference.
North Carolina columnist Adam Lucas later made note of the attire as a gentle criticism.
So, on Tuesday, while speaking to the media, Calipari arrived in workout clothes with a towel draped over his shoulder.
Calipari addressed the criticism, saying, "Was that a story? Was that a story, really?"
Calipari then defended his sartorial choice on Saturday, saying he wasn't going to mess up his $1,500 suit on the plane ride back to Kentucky: "I was getting ready for a nine-hour plane flight, did they expect me to go in a suit? Suit's $1,500, I'm not going to wrinkle that up."
He continued, "I get changed after every game on the road because I'm going to the plane as fast as I can go to the plane."

So looking forward to Fall and the beautiful Fall color. This summer weather of day after day in the 90's is too much for me. Counting the days until both astronomical and meteorological dates!
I believe the predictions would be more accurate if it wasn't for global warming and the destruction of the Amazonian rainforests interferring with how the weather is predicted by Farmers Almanac. The rules for predicting the weather date back to the early 1800's, with the addition of a formula that slightly altered the rules and changed into a math formula occurring sometime later. The predictions are made years in advance. With how quickly global warming is increasing the Earth's temperatures via an excelerated Greenhouse Effect, in conjunction with the massive and continuing devastation of the rainforests, both are resulting in the reshaping of "normal" weather patterns; thus, its no small wonder the predictions are off - these are factors that weren't even considered, let alone thought of, when the Farmers Almanac weather prediction system was first developed.
So far in WNY this prediction couldn't be any wronger. We have had more SNOW in MAY than I can ever recall, and it is just so cold! The other day, there was a legit snowstorm/blizzard like conditions! What is going on!? We're all on quarantine and can't even get outside....boo
So far, we've had a very chilly spring, including snow in April. I have photos of that from my front steps. It did melt quickly, once the sun appeared after a couple of days, but it still makes it difficult for the birds coming back from the southern habitats to find food, so they line up on my front steps. It's May, and still chilly; still have the furnace running and all window shades are drawn up to let in solar heat, but I'd like a warm spring, thank you!
When will the last frost be? First frost?
You can find your local frost dates in our Frost Dates tool: https://www.almanac.com/gardening/frostdates
Valentine's Day: Frigid with lake effect snow showers winding down during your evening commute. Additional accumulations of a fresh coating to less than 1". Near 20 degrees with single digit wind chills. SW 10-15 mph.
Friday Night: Becoming mostly clear, and frigid. Near 10 degrees with below zero wind chills. SSW 10-20 mph.

I am hosting my daughters birthday on May 23rd and want to have it outside at a shelter rental but I am wondering if it will be warm enough and not rainy.
My wedding is planned for Feb 29th in IL, we're driving there from WI and I'm wondering what kind of weather to plan for if we should leave a few days early or wait?

Ben Affleck becoming Batman for son's birthday is best dad moment ever
Ben Affleck delighted their 4-year-old son by appearing in costume from his upcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.hollywood Updated: Mar 05, 2016, 16:02 IST
Jennifer Garner recently revealed that Ben Affleck wearing his Batsman suit for their son Sam's superhero-themed birthday party was indeed the "best dad moment in history".
In an interview, the 43-year-old actress said Affleck delighted their 4-year-old son by appearing in costume from his upcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, adding that she was dressed up as a ninja for the occasion, People magazine reports.
On being asked about Sam's excitement about his dad playing Batman, The Alias actress said, "He kind of is losing it, it's really sweet." After the party, Affleck and Garner were spotted taking their children out to dinner at Art's Table in Santa Monica. Ben and Jennifer filed for divorce in 2015.
The former couple also saw each other again at the Oscars. When they initially arrived, the amicable exes were seen standing a few feet away from each other as they chatted with fellow party guests.

Later in the evening, Affleck and Garner shared a friendly hug and a kiss, and at one point Garner held his lapels as she appeared to compliment his look. The two later parted ways, with Garner staying toward the back of the room with close friends Victor Garber and JJ Abrams.
Garner was recently spotted promoting his upcoming flick Miracles from Heaven that is slated to release on March 16, 2016.

From Thessaloniki and Athens,
we FEEL that this next year will be a WINNER
…. everywhere and everyone FEELS it too.
With great joy we would like to introduce a new team member to the FM work in Greece. Esther has joined Kali to fight the injustice of human trafficking in Athens. Together, they are heading up the Set Free work in Athens. Esther has lived in Greece for 24 years. She first heard the Gospel from Evangelist Reinard Bonke in her homeland of Zimbabwe. She is an intercessor and full of love. Full of Holy Spirit courage, Kali and Esther have approached the women on the street at 4.00 am in middle night together. Esther compliments Kali very well and together they are "1 plus 1 equals 3". Her experience in Greece, knowledge of the Greek language, and African heritage makes her a great team member to what God is preparing in Greece. It is a honor to invest into Esther's life and see her gifting released even more on the hurting souls of Athens' streets. Besides Set Free ministry, she will also be a core member of a prayer team and ministry. We are dreaming of Delta* Prayer Power. The kind of power that changes the impossible. This initiative is extremely important and greatly needed as well. Our major concern is for a believer who goes to the dark places on outreaches two times a week, participates in weekly women only meetings, and nurtures damaged, complicated women to grow in faith, and SHE DOES NOT HAVE A PRAYER SUPPORT TEAM!!! If a person is willing to put themselves in risky and demanding situations for the Lord Jesus Christ, surely there would be a 100 believers around the world willing to pray for that person. Would you consider being a prayer supporter for Esther? Her email is firstname.lastname@example.com, or write me also firstname.lastname@example.com.
Maria and I are very happy to report that our salary support (MSA) is in the black for 2014, but our ministry support (CSA) is in the Red about $4,000 short for 2014. This fund is extremely important as this fund supports quality persons like Esther, Set Free in Greece, expansion plans for Athens, and additional ministry staff in Thessaloniki as well. Many opportunities are too fresh to mention now, but many incredible doors are opening and your investments will make it possible to respond strongly and effectively. If the Lord puts it on your heart, click on the link… https://give.fmcusa.org/sslpage.aspx?pid=678
We are very grateful for your prayers and support this past year of 2014 and our expectations are great for 2015.
*Δ … Delta is a symbol for change in mathematics. Also it is the code name of military special forces. And by the way the names of the first believers in Acts in Athens began with the letter delta.

I recently tried some CBD gummy bears and I didn't notice anything. I heard that they were good for anxiety and pain. I have anxiety, hip, back and ankle pain. I took like 4 bears in about an hour and didn't notice much of any change. My mother on the other hand took one bear and said she felt a difference in her back. What was it supposed to feel like? Should I try the oil instead of the gummy?
I was wondering if there are any people here that have anxiety and ADHD. I was wondering how to treat both or is it only possible to treat or the other? I've not been diagnosed with either issue, but the symptoms seem correct for me. When I was in college, I asked my doctor at the time to prescribe me some adhd meds and she said that she couldn't because of my major depression.

Paradise Casino Review
Paradise Casino takes you to a palm-fringed white beach where exotic animals, beautiful ladies and of course first class games await you. The latter come from NetEnt, Betsoft and Pragmatic Play. Of course, all titles run absolutely seriously under an official license – in Malta. In addition, the casino creates trust by offering only well-known payment methods, such as Paysafecard or Sofort bank transfer, and ensures a state-of-the-art encryption of all data. In addition, you do not need to download any APK or other software that may interfere with the smooth operation of your mobile iOS or Android or desktop device. For more details and many additional tips, please read our Paradise Casino experience below.
App, Download & Design
As already indicated at the beginning, the Paradise Casino is visually perfectly adapted to its name. A pretty lady in a bikini welcomes you with a rewarding welcome bonus within an imposing beach panorama. The other casino areas also show corresponding motifs with yachts, typical South Sea animals or casual surfers. The main colours are stylish but discreet sand, green and blue. With all the design, however, functionality is not neglected. For example, all menus are clearly structured and you can quickly find what you are looking for. In addition, the application can actually be used on iPhone, Samsung etc. without a special Apple or Android app. Simply register via a browser like on the desktop, log in, done.
Software & Games
In addition to the main providers already mentioned, games from Amatic, Endorphina, Yggdrasil and other popular brands can also be found. The slot machines make up the largest part of the portfolio. For example, you can sort them according to topics or providers. A search function is also available. The jackpot games, which generally have a very high rating, are grouped in a separate section. There are also menu items for poker, roulette and of course the live casino. In the latter you can also play Blackjack with real dealers. Fans of Novomatic or Merkur Games as well as sports bets will not be served (so far). By the way, you have the chance to test almost all games with play money before betting real money – without limits.
Bonus offers at Paradise Casino
The welcome bonus is 125% of your first deposit6,000 GBP +25 Freespins. From time to time Paradise Casino offers also a bonus without depositing on top. This deal is likely to convince even high rollers and the underlying wagering requirements are very fair. There are also other offers such as reloads, tournaments and even an extensive loyalty program. You will always find the most rewarding promotions including the appropriate bonus code and useful tricks with us!
Customer Service, Payment & Regulation
You can contact the casino 24/7 via live chat or email. A hotline is not (yet) available.
You can also find Neteller and Skrill among the payment methods. These services can be used for both a deposit and a withdrawal. They work similar to PayPal.
The Malta Gaming Authority is responsible for auditing all gambling.
In addition to official regulation, there are various other references to fair gaming through and through. For example, the COMODO SSL certificate and the seals of Gamblers Anonymous, GamCare and other help portals for problem gamers signal the highest level of security and reliability.
Paradise Casino offers an attractive design that can actually create a kind of holiday feeling. With the variety of rewarding games on offer, the chances of enjoying a real holiday are not bad. The lavish bonus offers certainly play their part. There is also good support and some of the most popular payment methods on the web. All this comes in an intuitive application that is also very secure.

Honda is redefining the segment with the Civic Hatchback and it can be whatever you need it to be.
The standard-equipped, turbocharged inline-4 comes ready for action, capable of churning out 174 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque. A lightweight frame promotes fuel efficiency in the form of a class-leading, EPA-estimated 31/40/34 mpg city/highway/combined,* respectively.

UPDATE: Called 311 on 8-11-2018 to check on last issued SR # but agent said issue was closed because it was reported as a sewer collapse (not noise issue as requested) and no collapse was found. Asked to open new SR and address as a noise issue to the Water Dept that should be responsible for this manhole cover. The new SR created by the agent is SR-18-02362886. This is the third SR to be assigned this issue,
