The NYPD seems finally to be getting "with it"—"it" being the Marijuana Reform Act of 1977 that decriminalized the possession of up to 25 grams of pot in New York City as long as it wasn't "burning" or "open to public view."
On Friday, WNYC published an internal memo issued by police commissioner Ray Kelly calling for an end to a loophole that has resulted in record high pot busts, costing taxpayers $75 million annually. Kelly wrote: "A crime will not be charged to an individual who is requested or compelled to engage in the behavior that results in the public display of marihuana." (That's the Anglicized spelling adopted during the Mexican-ization of the substance in the first half of the last century, which Kelly probably picked up as a wee lad watching irresistible exploitation films in the 1930s).
This past April we ran a story investigating the record high number of pot busts in NYC under Mayor Bloomberg and the racial imbalance—86% of those arrested for misdemeanor pot possession were black or Latino—that goes with it. One source, going by "B." was victim of the loophole in question:
B. rides his bike over to Bed-Stuy like he usually does every week or so. He locks it up on a corner post and goes up to his "guy's" house. Five minutes later, he's out of there, hops back on and rides off. Except he doesn't get very far. An NYPD cruiser pulls him over for no apparent reason. "We know what you're doing, empty your fucking pockets," they yell, "you won't get in trouble if you cooperate." He hasn't done anything wrong at this point, and they never tell him why he was pulled over, but he complies. "I did what they told me thinking I'd get off easy," B. says, pulling out two $20 bags in the process. "Nope! They booked me for having it 'open to public view'.
Call it coercion, call it extortion, call it trampling the Fifth Amendment, but Commissioner Kelly now calls it simply "improper." In B's case, had this memo gone out sooner, he would have been issued a violation, a ticket, instead of arrested and fingerprinted for a misdemeanor.
Last week the Voice reported that Mayor Bloomberg, over the hump on his third and presumably last term, was making desperate attempts to salvage his legacy by throwing money at the "black and brown men" he's been locking up in record numbers over the last decade. Could it be that the NYPD is extending the olive branch to potheads as a way to placate outcry over some of the egregious (and just plain zany) bullshit they've been up to over the past few months?

Even without knowing your Windows password, intruders can easily gain access to files and passwords stored by Windows and other programs on your computer. They can do this by booting into their own operating system (Windows or Linux) from a special disc or USB flash drive. After doing so, they can access your hard drives just as you can when you're logged into Windows.
The only way to protect your data completely is by using encryption. You can encrypt select files, but to protect your system files and saved passwords, you must encrypt your entire hard drive. This operation takes more time and effort than encrypting select files does, but it offers more security–and it's great for laptops and netbooks that can easily go missing.
If your computer is running the Ultimate or Enterprise edition of Windows 7 or Vista, you can use Microsoft's included BitLocker feature to encrypt your entire drive. BitLocker offers protection for all of your personal files and documents, as well as for all of the system files and cached or saved passwords on your drive. Though Microsoft includes BitLocker with these two editions of Windows, the feature isn't enabled by default. To activate it, you must manually enable it in the 'System and Security' Control Panel.
After encrypting your drive with BitLocker, you won't notice any difference in using your computer. Unlike with most other third-party encryption programs, you don't have to type in an encryption password when booting up your system, aside from entering the usual Windows password to log on to your user account. The drive is automatically decrypted with a method that protects it from snoopers outside of your Windows.
To support so simple an encryption process, however, your computer must meet a few stringent software and hardware requirements. To start with, your drive must have two NTFS drive partitions: a system partition (which contains the files needed to start your computer), and an operating system partition (which you should have already, and which contains Windows and your personal files).
If the system partition is not already available, BitLocker may try to create it for you automatically, but sometimes it may not have enough available drive space to do so. In addition, your computer must have a motherboard with a compatible Trusted Platform Module (TPM) microchip, and the BIOS should be TCG (for Trusted Computing Group) compliant. Having a TPM microchip isn't madatory, but without it the configuration and usability are more complicated.
If you don't understand the requirements, don't sweat it. To see whether your system meets them, simply open BitLocker: Click Start, Control Panel, System and Security, BitLocker Drive Encryption, Turn On BitLocker.
If your computer doesn't meet the requirements, it will let you know. If you get an error message about not having a TPM device, it's possible that your PC does have one that isn't enabled in the BIOS. Try checking your PC's BIOS setup menu at boot for any mention of TPM support. Otherwise, consider using a third-party encryption program, such as DiskCryptor, instead of using BitLocker.

Desiree Rogers: The Obamas' Imagemaker
The White House has been, historically, a very white house. Traditionally, all the portraits hanging on the walls have been of white men or, occasionally, white women. The domestic staff, however—the ushers, cooks, maids, gardeners—has often been black. Today, about one third of the 95 permanent staffers working in the White House are African-American. On Inauguration Day, the White House social secretary, Desiree Rogers, watched as a valet, an older black man, hung up President Obama's shirts and ties. She tells NEWSWEEK that she imagined him thinking, I see someone who looks like me that is going to be moving in here. Rogers noticed that other black staffers had "a little extra pep in their step" that day. "I see my grandfather's face in their faces," says Rogers.
The title of White House social secretary conjures up images of ladies pouring tea. But Rogers, a Harvard Business School grad who ran an energy utility in Chicago, describes her job as "one cornerstone of building the Obama presidency brand." Michelle Obama is an old friend (Rogers's ex-husband played basketball at Princeton with Michelle's brother, Craig Robinson). The first lady tells NEWSWEEK that Rogers is doing a "phenomenal job" of creating a "People's House." That means opening up the White House (which Rogers refers to simply as "the House") to the sort of people who don't usually get invited to state dinners. Last week, Rogers brought in some students from a local cooking school to talk to the head chef and first lady as the staff prepared the Obamas' first state dinner. One student asked about the presidential china and inquired whether Mrs. Obama would be designing her own. "Um, I think so," Mrs. Obama replied, looking over at Rogers before adding, "I think that's part of the job." Rogers and Obama smiled.
Neither showed any anxiety, though both knew perfectly well they were stepping around a land mine. Americans are ambivalent about their first ladies. They want them to be regal, like Jackie Kennedy, but scorn them if they act like queens. Both Mary Lincoln and Nancy Reagan took flak for their spending on fancy clothes and furnishings. Mrs. Lincoln complained about the "vampyre press," and it hasn't gotten less bloodthirsty. In January, Laura Bush was chastised for spending $492,798 (from private donations) on new White House china at a time when people are missing their mortgage payments.
Rogers, who grew up in New Orleans, is at once sociable and cool, not unlike the Obamas. But she is sensitive to the symbolic significance of the Obamas in the White House. "They understand what it means to feel like you've been left out," she says. Rogers, who like Michelle Obama has been profiled in Vogue, enjoys a bit of glamour; she recently attended Fashion Week in New York. But two weeks ago, she was smiling as she watched the first lady—and Michelle's daughters, along with about 180 mostly black Washington schoolkids and the children of the Executive Mansion housekeeping staff—sway in the East Room. It was Black History Month, and they were listening to an all African-American singing group crooning mostly upbeat songs, but also a ballad about a man who was killed by the Ku Klux Klan.
Rogers says she wants to modernize the art collection of the presidential mansion: "There is a wonderful collection of art, but what's missing is modern art. And also we'd like to see more diversity of the artists themselves—more women artists, more African-American artists, more Hispanic artists, artists of American-Indian descent, Asian-Americans." Rogers may ruffle feathers if she starts moving out the White House permanent art collection. "You can't get any better than an original Courbet or Picasso," cautions Letitia Baldrige, who was social secretary in the Kennedy White House. Rogers does not seem too worried, however. "Are we having fun yet?" President Obama asked her recently. "Getting there," she answered.

In a piece for the June issue of Cosmopolitan, Channing Tatum reflects on how he hopes his daughter will experience the world when she is older. He recognizes that there are unique pressures placed on women by the world-at-large, and he dreams of a day that she can brush them off and just be who she is. He shares these hopes as he reflects on what it means to bring his Magic Mike Live show to Las Vegas.
"I decided to turn Magic Mike into a live show because... I want women to feel what it's like to exist in a world where men really listen to them, where they treat them like goddesses, and where they can feel comfortable and proud to express the full force of their sexual energy together," Tatum writes. "I want them to experience a place where they are much more than enough." It is this theme, that women and girls are perfect exactly as they are, that he reflects on when he thinks about the future he wants for his daughter.
"I tried to imagine the things I'd want [my daughter] to read that would help her understand men and sex and partnership better, and at that moment, I realized a strange thing. I don't want her looking to the outside world for answers," Tatum writes. "My highest hope for her is just that she has the fearlessness to always be her authentic self, no matter what she thinks men want her to be."
These sentiments are ones I think many parents share; I, too, hope my daughters can find internal fulfillment and a life free of the patriarchal expectations that society will force on her day in and day out. I hope I can help her find the strength and ability to rise above them and to see them for what they really are: bullshit. "We live in a society that has trained men and women to play certain kinds of roles for a long time, and the beauty of this amazing moment we're living in is that we're finally starting to break free from those roles," he continues. "Women, especially, are realizing that they no longer have to conform to certain standards of social and sexual behavior, and this changes what they need from men and the role of men in general."
It's worth noting that the way Tatum speaks about his daughter's future is incredibly heteronormative. There is no space here for her to explore a sexual reality beyond one centered around men; even as he speaks of wanting her to break free of male expectations that may be placed on her, he centers on men and masculinity. He neglects to understand that women have known since the dawn of time that we don't have to conform to certain standards, and there is a long history of women saying, "eff you" to traditional roles. There's also a long history of women being punished for their resistance.
That said, at its heart, Tatum's message is one that many girls need to hear. He writes, "I guess if there's one thing... men wish women knew, it's just that they alone are enough." To hear one of the most famous and near universally-desired men in Hollywood tell women and girls that they are enough exactly as they are is important, and hopefully will reinforce the idea that it's okay for girls to not be seeking male approval. It's sad that it takes a man to give girls permission to be themselves, but I'm here for anything that encourages young women to embrace their authentic selves.
"When more women start to truly feel this power in themselves, the world will become so magical, it makes my head hurt," Tatum says. It's a nice sentiment, but I'm here to remind young women that we don't need to wait for the green light from a man to begin to harness the power we all possess. I'll just be over here making sure my daughters know that when they tap into their inherent strength, they really can do anything, and they don't need permission from anyone for that.

After posting the article about the Hungarian 9mm Carbine, Iwan Steiner reached out to me. He is the maker of the Steiner Bark-9. He wanted to clarify where his experience came from and how the Steiner Bark came to be.
1. First the story of the Danuvia VD 01.The former example of this weapon was constructed by Hungarian origin but in Germany lived home made weapon master named "Vörös". This one was only a model indeed not be able to work well and not be able for production. He met some guy who bought the former military factory "Danuvia". The leader of the Danuvia factory made a contract with him that the factory would develop the idea of this semi auto pistols. They arrange themselves about the future name Danuvia VD 01. (VD means Vörös – Danuvia) On the later produced weapons stay the name" Vörös" too. It took many years to produce a working pistol. Two very good gunsmiths were working on the pistol, László Kotroczó (one of the best in Hungary for long range shooting rifles) and László Bata who an excellent gunsmith too. Some old gunsmith from the former military factory also helped them. I, a practical shooter was one of the "test pilot" consulted with them about the shooting experiences. During the development I managed to find a user for the pistol, like the Hungarian Police, and some foreign government. For a military project three full auto pieces were made with 12″ barrels and folding stocks. It was a really excellent weapon, it could had 10 shots in 3 cm circle from 100 meters.They produced the first batch of 100 units, but unfortunately it has a lot of serious problems. The black chrome cover was very bad quality, the factory ordered the workers to use different steel material at whim, they changed the technology for interchangeable barrels, but this jammed all the time. The first batch were not to sold. It was the next 350 units ordered and delivered in parts already with Lothar Walther polygon barrels when the factory broke down and closed. A very few examples were sold, mostly through me, I knew all of them from serial numbers, which ones were ok and which ones were not. Maybe two in private hands and I have some modified for blanks, for movies.Basically, it was an excellent idea but has some weak points. The first is the copyrighted magazine, the construction can not be trusted, I thought of modifying it and solve the problems, but realized that job is only a hobby, never will make profit for a capitalist.2.Connection to BARK 9.I have a Slovakian – Hungarian friend name Koloman Szabo who also an excellent gunsmith. We are working on some common weapon projects nowadays too. He knew Jan Balko from former common working place. Koloman was very interested in the Danuvia system and we three came together by a different project, modified VZ 58 for 9 mm, named Marauder. That was a project from Szabo and Balko, but I was also interested in this type and arranged with Balko to buy the main parts of Marauders. I modified them to sell in Hungary. After this time we shared all information and consulted often about new ideas. For example how can we use the good things from the Danuvia and avoid the faults. And that was the way, how BARK 9 born. There are ideas from Koloman too, and I had a lot of shooting experience and gave him advice on how to fix the faults of the BARK. All of us offered the weapons under our names in the market and there are some differences between the weapons because the different gunsmiths. For example I have a copy righted AK clone AMD or AK47 subcompact, we worked together with Koloman on it, I made them from former AK47 or AMD 65, Koloman made them from Yougoslavian AK, so some small differences are there but the system is same. Both of us sell it under our own name. So, we three basically working together, but basically we are independent.My BARK has also some changed parts on the lock, and in the firing system, and a different recoil spring to avoid reloading problems.
Below are the Danuvia "Lock" which I think he means bolt.
Comparison of the Danuvia bolt and Bark bolt.
All three bolts. Danuvia, Bark and Steiner Bark.
Below is the Steiner Bark and Danuvia frames for comparison.

Clan Ranks
Clans are created at Rank 1 with basic benefits,Buy BNS Gold like a Clan Vault and Noticeboard. You'll want to increase your Clan Rank as it provides ever-greater benefits. To increase your rank you have to meet certain requirements (detailed below). Some of the requirements include collecting substantial numbers of items, some of which (Soulstones and Faction Insignias) can only be obtained through faction-based daily quests.
In our World PvP article we talked about how you can earn Prestige Points—a temporary PvP currency gained by doing battle with the opposing faction. After collecting enough Prestige Points, you can gain reputation within your faction, and you can also use these Prestige Points to purchase Faction Insignias from your faction's Coin Exchange Merchant.
Most items required to increase your clan's Rank are obtained through gameplay that involves the clan to work together, or to honor their faction. Cheap BNS Gold Soulstones and Faction Insignias can, for instance, be obtained from certain enemy faction mobs, or by completing faction daily quests.

I have never been a fan of exercise. There, I said it. Maybe my distaste in physical activity springs from my unwillingness to get off the couch, or maybe it comes from my pure and simple hatred of sweating. None the less, I want to enhance my already stellar summer bod.
For the sake of this project, I had to push myself much harder than I would like to admit. I turned off the Netflix, put on some sneakers
and got to CrossFit gym, or as the CrossFit gods like to call them, "boxes."
There are 10 skills that each CrossFit session will try and work on: Cardiovascular endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy. Just to be clear-I have absolutely none of these skills. I could tell that this was going to be quite a long and potentially painful workout.
Every day there is a different workout, or WOD, that will consist of any combination of these skills. That could mean anything from running hard, lifting heavy and using muscles you don't even know you have.
For example, today's WOD was to row 1000 meters on the rowing machine, working on form and lifting for about 20 minutes, and then, the grand finale, 30 seconds of over head presses, 30 seconds of air squats and a 30 second plank, four times with a 60 second rest in between reps.
*Pro-tip: don't wear grey…especially if you're sweat-conscious like me.
However, CrossFit isn't just about the training, like any sport, it's about the community. Even though being in a class with six other people can be intimidating, everyone is there to support each other. Everything about each WOD can be tailored to fit anyone's individual needs, whether that means back-squatting 30 pounds or 300 pounds. CrossFit is for anyone and everyone, seriously.
You walk (or run) into the room and everyone says hi to you, even if they haven't met you. Everyone encourages everyone, and it becomes a sort of safe space. The person next to you could be lifting 20 pounds more than you, or be running faster, or be able to do a plank for longer than you can, but no one judges you. You are all there to push yourselves, and maybe lift 5 pounds more than you did yesterday.
There might be some "gym-timidation" at first, but that melts away with time (and by time I mean from the time I walked in, to the time I walked out). It was one of the hardest workouts I have ever done, and even though I hated myself while I was doing it, I loved myself for going.
Overall rating: 10/10, would definitely recommend.

Tuesday Questions: Where Are You and a Teaser
10 comments:
I vote for A Walk in the Woods - I read it last year and loved it! It was my intro to Bill Bryson and you can bet that I'll be reading more my him. :)ReplyDelete
Of course, I've been having a Fantasy craving myself lately, so I'd love to read more about Magyk too ...
Not much help, am I?!
I can't choose for you, but I'm in a Miami-Dade County courtroom, with a rock star charged with murder.ReplyDelete
Those are both good choices. I'm in the middle of a fantasy novel right now and so if I did make a suggestion, it would probably be in that direction. :-)ReplyDelete
both sound good to me; I think I would go with A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson.ReplyDelete
Get out on that trail!
- AnonymousAugust 26, 2008 at 11:54 AM
I loved your teaser for "Magyk", so I'd say Go with that one! :PReplyDelete
I vote for Magyk! Magyk, Magyk, Magyk!!! I have loved that series and am waiting for the 4th to come out in paperback, or maybe to get to the library...it's a toss up which will come first.ReplyDelete
Go for Magyk!! I love fantasy. I don't want to make your life more difficult, but I reviewed Farworld and that was awesome!!!ReplyDelete
I would usually go for the fantasy one but the teaser for A Walk in the Woods sounded really interesting.ReplyDelete
I'm intrigued by Magyk. And this is totally from the sentences because I haven't heard of either one.ReplyDelete
If you are not in the mood for Balzac, try this cool book that has his name in the title at least (ha ha!)..."Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress" by Dai Sijie. It's a short novel that I really enjoyed. Largely because of how the author relates the "sheer delight that books can offer a downtrodden spirit" (quoted from School Library Journal.)

Last Saturday night, the Margaret Mitchell House (MMH) burst with insatiable Gone With The Wind fans. Driving up to 10th & Peachtree I found the streets overflowing with traffic-stopping pedestrians and a full MMH parking lot— but I guess some of the congestion could be attributed to the Dogwood Arts Festival.
The attraction at the MMH was a panel sponsored by the Atlanta History Center featuring Turner Classic Movies' host Robert Osborne, Michael Sragow, film critic of the Baltimore Sun and author of a voluminous biography of Victor Fleming (one of the GWTW directors), and Molly Haskell, author of the recently published Frankly My Dear: Gone With The Wind Revisited.

'The Flash' Star Danielle Panabaker Debuts First Look at Killer Frost
The Flash star Danielle Panabaker stopped by The Talk for an interview recently and brought a first look at her transformation into comic book villain Killer Frost with her.
Panabaker looks totally cool with her white hair and eyes and leather bustier top. "I'm such a girl, and I loved getting dressed up in that look," she told the ladies of The Talk. "We started working on the look a couple of months before it actually shot. Our first suit was a one-piece, kind of like Catwoman, but it didn't feel quite right. So we changed it to be a top and these really cool leather pants. And the hair was awesome; it started as this short, little pixie wig, and we just kept adding more and more hair, as you do. It's great, I'm really excited."
Watch the clip of the actress revealing her villainous The Flash alter-ego below:
In the comics, Killer Frost has "the ability to absorb heat from external sources and transmute it into waves of cold."
While we aren't sure exactly when Killer Frost will be making her first appearance in The Flash, we certainly can't wait based on the new photo!

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avinger, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGR), a leading developer of innovative treatments for peripheral artery disease (PAD), announced today that the Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for its next generation Pantheris® Lumivascular atherectomy system, the first-ever image-guided atherectomy device for the treatment of peripheral artery disease. Lumivascular is the only technology that combines real-time intravascular imaging with highly effective catheters for the treatment of PAD. Peripheral artery disease is projected to affect more than 21 million people in the United States alone by 2020.
The new version of Pantheris received CE Marking approval in December 2017, and patients have been successfully treated with this new device in Germany since that time. Avinger's next generation Pantheris device includes a number of design improvements, including a simplified single balloon system for both apposition of the device and occlusion of blood flow, a stiffer shaft for increased pushability, a reinforced nosecone with the option for more tissue storage capacity, and an enhanced cutter design. The Company intends to launch two versions of this product (standard and extended length nosecone) into initial sites in the U.S. immediately, and plans to incorporate the new design into the INSIGHT IDE clinical trial currently in progress. INSIGHT is a multi-center clinical study designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Pantheris for treating in-stent restenosis (ISR) in lower extremity arteries. Distribution of the next generation Pantheris will be expanded as the Company increases production and gains purchasing approvals in additional Lumivascular sites.
"We are excited to introduce the next generation Pantheris to our network of physicians here in the United States," said Mr. Jeff Soinski, Avinger's President and CEO. "After extensive testing by our R&D and operations teams, physician design validation, and successful initial case experience in Europe across a variety of different lesion types, we believe this next generation device will significantly improve the user experience in terms of reliability, efficiency, and ease of use across a spectrum of clinical situations."
Dr. Barry Tedder, M.D., Interventional Cardiologist at St. Bernards Medical Center in Jonesboro, Arkansas, commented, "The Pantheris Lumivascular atherectomy system has allowed me to treat peripheral artery disease with more precision while largely avoiding trauma to the blood vessel during an intervention. Unlike some other products, this technology's performance can stand on its own but also enhance other forms of adjunctive therapy if needed, while preserving future treatment options for the patient. As one of the first users of the initial generations of Pantheris, I have been eagerly awaiting the product enhancements incorporated into the new system, which has the promise of not only improving ease of use, but also providing a new level of operator control during the procedure."
Atherectomy is a minimally invasive treatment for PAD in which a catheter-based device is used to remove plaque from a blood vessel. Lumivascular technology allows physicians, for the first time ever, to see from inside the artery during an atherectomy procedure by using an imaging modality called optical coherence tomography, or OCT, that is displayed on Avinger's proprietary Lightbox console. Physicians performing atherectomy with other devices must rely solely on X-ray as well as tactile feedback to guide their interventions while treating complicated arterial disease. With the Lumivascular approach, physicians can more accurately navigate their devices and treat PAD lesions, thanks to the real-time OCT images generated from inside the artery, without exposing healthcare workers and patients to the negative effects of ionizing radiation.
About Avinger, Inc.
Avinger is a commercial-stage medical device company that designs and develops the first-ever image-guided, catheter-based system that diagnoses and treats patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Avinger is dedicated to radically changing the way vascular disease is treated through its Lumivascular platform, which currently consists of the Lightbox imaging console, the Ocelot family of chronic total occlusion (CTO) catheters, and the Pantheris® family of atherectomy devices. Avinger is based in Redwood City, California. For more information, please visit www.avinger.com.

Today I returned to Instagram after being away for over six months. Before I forget about my time away, I want to reflect on what I've learned.
1. Competition in business can take many forms. There isn't one right way to compete and get your name out there.
2. Small businesses like mine do not need to be held to the same standards as huge corporations. Small businesses can be personal and unique. My particular business may not be right for everyone. And since I can't possibly dye yarn for everyone anyways...this is totally fine!
3. Being away from IG and most social media has really made me re-think my "style" and wardrobe. I know this might sound silly, but it's been a huge revelation to me. Since I'm no longer influenced by all the images on IG, I've reverted back to my natural style, which is mostly 1940s-inspired. Unfortunately, this means that a large portion of what I have sewn and purchased in the last couple years no longer appeals to me. Ugh. One of these days I'll have my wardrobe figured out....
4. I'm not a minimalist! Yes, after years trying to get rid of all my possessions and live the picture-perfect Instagrammable life, I have realized I like my pretty things and the memories and feelings attached to them. Especially my books. A few years ago I parted with the majority of my books, and I really do regret this now. It used to make me so happy to just look at them and be able to pick one from the shelf and read it right there. Fortunately, I did keep all my antique books, which I knew I would never be able to replace.
5. My family is pretty amazing. These are the people I should be focusing on more than anyone else. They've been there for me my whole life, and continue to cheer me on through thick and thin.
6. No matter how many followers you have or how "in" you are with the popular kids on IG, in the end it's your product that will make or break your business.
7. Before returning, I went through and unfollowed nearly every other yarny person apart from some customers. I do my best to dye beautiful colors. I don't need to be influenced by what others are doing. I'm inspired by history, fashion, nature, movies etc., not by my competition. My feed is now mostly cats, dogs, and vintage fashion.
6. It's been oddly therapeutic to watch YouTube videos from ex-cult members. I actually feel like I was part of some weird knitting cult for years and didn't know it. There are so many similarities, with the shunning aspect probably being the most obvious one. One of my favorite YouTube channels is called Bravely Taylor. She's been my "therapy" through these last six months.
7. Listen to your gut. Don't give in to peer pressure. It's tough, but you'll feel so much better about yourself in the end.

The water has no saving power in itself but the very act of baptism appears to be a definite and emphatic command of God, and is therefore essential to salvation. Baptism is a new beginning. It's the turning of the corner. It's placing your hand into God's hand and saying, "Let's walk together from now on." Baptism is that exact moment in time that marks the very instant when we turned our backs on our past.
Baptism in the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit is the rite or ordinance by which a person is admitted into the Church of Jesus Christ. It is the public profession of faith and discipleship. Baptism signifies the following
A confession of complete faith in Jesus Christ;
The glorious symbol of your union with Jesus Christ;
The realization that the Holy Spirit has entered you, and has sealed you as a child of God;
A cleansing or washing of the soul from sin;
A death to sin and a new life in righteousness.
Baptism is symbolic to what is happening to us spiritually.
QUESTION 1---Is baptism necessary for salvation?
I present the following Bible passages to answer that question.
Mark 16:16 He that believes and is baptized will be saved, but he that does not believe will be condemned.
Acts 2:38 "Peter said to them, Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins."
John 3:5 Jesus answered, most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born from water and Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Galatians 3:27 For all of you who are baptized into Christ, have put on Christ.
Colossians 2:12 For you were buried with him in baptism and you were raised up together through faith.
Acts 10:48 With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
Mark 1:5 Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
Romans 6:4 Therefore we were buried with him through our baptism into his death, in order that, just as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, we also should likewise walk in a newness of life.
Ephesians 4:5 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism.
(The person helping the Christian in the body of water during the baptism process is not the one that is baptizing that Christian. The one who is doing the actual baptism is the Holy Spirit, because He is the one who does all baptizing. That is why this verse says, "One Baptism").
Acts 22:16 And now why are you delaying? Rise and get baptized and wash your sins away by your calling upon his name.
Acts 2:38 Repent and be Baptized for the remission (forgiveness) of your sins.
1 Peter 3:21 And corresponding to that, baptism saves you. Not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience; through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
(Here the Lord declares that these three names, that of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, be recorded in the very act of baptism. It is in this rite of baptism that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit meet the believer; the Father to receive him as a child, the Son to welcome him as a brother, and the Holy Spirit to endow him with the Spirit of God. It is also interesting to note that these are the very last words that Jesus spoke before rising up to heaven and they were instructions to the apostles to go out and baptize the world, and to do this in the NAME of the three persons making up one God.
It certainly appears that our Lord demands that we be baptized. Mark 16:16 shows that belief in Jesus Christ is mandatory, but at the same time the Lord himself is telling us to get baptized. It is his command to us over and over. And as a believer and faithful follower of Jesus Christ, I would think that one who has surrendered to Jesus Christ would obey our Lord and become baptized.
The water has no saving power in itself but the very act of baptism appears to be a definite and emphatic command of God, and is therefore essential to salvation. Baptism is a new beginning. It's the turning of the corner. It's placing your hand into God's hand and saying, "Let's walk together from now on." Baptism is that exact moment in time that marks the very instant when we turned our backs on our past.
So the person who is simply unwilling to be Baptized, or who just doesn't want to put forth the effort, or who simply does not have the faith in Jesus Christ that it takes to be Baptized, is making a very serious mistake and is putting their entire eternal future into terrible jeopardy.
Although we may be lost by simply not having faith, we must have faith and be baptized to be pleasing to God and to achieve eternal salvation. The Bible teaches that we have not taken that final step to salvation until we do get baptized. John 3:5 sums up the entire baptism question when it says, "Jesus said, truly, truly, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, He cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
QUESTION 2---Is the sprinkling of water sufficient or do you need total immersion?
Again I present the following Bible passages to answer that question.
John 3:23 But John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salem, because there was a great quantity of water there and people kept coming and being baptized.
(This passage shows that "much water" is needed to baptize. Very little water would be needed if only a sprinkling was required.)
Acts 8:36 Now as they were going over the road, they came to a certain body of water, and the eunuch said, "Look! A body of water. What prevents me from getting baptized?
(This body of water would not be needed if only a sprinkling of water was all that was necessary to baptize. If only a sprinkling was required they could go to a fountain and fill a small cup with water and then baptize. Also if only a sprinkling was required then the Apostles would have only needed to carry a container of water with them and a large body of water would never have been needed)
Acts 8:38 With that he commanded the chariot to halt, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
(In this passage the Bible says that they went down and "into" the water. In sprinkling it is the water that comes to the person and of course in sprinkling there is no way that you can go into the water.)
Romans 6:4 Therefore we were buried with him through our baptism into his death, in order that, just as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, we also should likewise walk in a newness of life.
(The "burial" of a person being baptized can only be accomplished by complete immersion in water and not just by sprinkling a little water on the person's head.)
Colossians 2:12 For you were buried with him in baptism and your were raised up together through faith.
(The "raising up" can only be done if a person is immersed under the water. This can not be true of sprinkling.)
Mark 1:9-10 In the course of those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan River by John, and immediately on coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being parted, and like a dove, the Spirit coming down upon him.
(Here Jesus Christ is using himself as an example, and he is telling the entire world that baptism is very important, and he is also showing the world the way that he wants people to be baptized. And he is telling us that complete immersion in water is going to be required for baptism. How can any believer say that even though Jesus did it that way, that they themselves don't have to be baptized by immersion, that sprinkling is sufficient for them).
So it appears that our Lord is telling us that baptism by immersion is very important to him. Anything different than that appears to be going against the Word of God. This may be why he used his own baptism as an example to all of mankind, to show the importance that he placed on baptism and the method that he wanted used. Jesus was not baptized because of any sins for which he needed forgiveness for. He was baptized in order to show all of us, that it was required by our Heavenly Father and to give us an example of how baptism should be carried out. Jesus told us repeatedly that he was the only way which lead to God the Father, so I would think all believers would therefore want to be baptized the way he was.
John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
There is not a single case in the entire Bible that indicates anyone was baptized by the "sprinkling" method. On the contrary, in every single case it is indicated that the person being baptized was having it done by total immersion.
Most of us realize that we would not be able to make it spiritually without the help of the Holy Spirit and this is another extremely important reason for being baptized. For when we are baptized we are instantly indwelled with the Holy Spirit. It is at the point of baptism when the Holy Spirit seals us as a child of God. It says in Acts 2:38,
"Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Purpose of baptism
Baptism is a public declaration of one's loyalty to God and to the principles of his kingdom. It is not a dedication of a baby, for baptism is a deliberate, willful, known, and knowledgeable act on the part of a believer who has received Jesus Christ as their personal savior, and who in obedience, has followed Christ in his example and command into the act of baptism.
Baptism is to God's people what the mark of the beast will be for those who worship the antichrist during the great tribulation. So in a practical way, baptism is an event that separates yesterday from tomorrow. Baptism declares severance. Severance from the old life that is over, and the new life that has just begun. The immersion under the water is symbolic of death to the old person. Death to the old lifestyle. While the coming up from beneath the water represents the birth of the new person. The start of a brand new Godly lifestyle which has Jesus Christ at its center.
So baptism reflects an inner transformation from unbeliever to believer; from a carnal person to a spiritual person; from dominion by the sinful nature to dominion by the spiritual nature; from being a part of this world to being a part of the world to come.
John The Baptist And Some Serious Questions About Baptism
John the Baptist was a very important figure in the Bible. The Bible tells us that even as an unborn baby he leapt with joy while in his mother's womb. The reason he leapt with joy was because Mary, who was pregnant with the Son of God, visited the mother of John the Baptist when she herself was pregnant with John. The Bible also tells us that at the very moment that John was leaping in his mother's womb, the mother of John the Baptist was being filled with the Holy Spirit. (Luke 1:41) So with that said, please answer the following questions.
What was John The Baptist known for?
Who baptized Jesus Christ?
If baptism was not important, then why did Jesus Christ allow himself to be baptized?
If baptism is not important then why did the gospel writers write so much about it?
If the act of baptism was utter nonsense and completely irrelevant, then why didn't Jesus reprimand John the Baptist, and why did he allow himself to be baptized by him?
If baptism is frivolous and unimportant, then why didn't somebody make great objections to it when the name of Jesus Christ was used every time someone was baptized?
If Baptism is a false practice, then why didn't any of the Bible writers, especially Paul, talk against this misleading and ungodly practice?
Why did Paul and the rest of the Apostles all baptize believers?
Infants and small children
Infants do not need to be baptized since they are not old enough to be accountable and therefore can not be lost. It is in fact impossible to be scripturally baptized until one is able to be taught the gospel, believe, repent, and confess faith in Christ. It's important to note that Jesus wasn't baptized as a baby. We have biblical references of Jesus's boyhood, such as when he astounded the scholars in the Temple. Yet he waited until he was about 30 before he chose to be baptized. There are no biblical references to the baptism of babies. Since baptism is an outward symbol of a new birth and a choice made by the individual, the Bible teaches baptism only when an individual is old enough to repent of sin, accept Christ, and understand the truths of Scripture.
When baptism by sprinkling first came into existence
History shows that the practice of "sprinkling" with water didn't come into existence until 1311 AD, when it was declared by men to be an acceptable substitute for immersion by a council of the Catholic Church held at Ravenna, Italy. Here is another of many examples where human man overruled the Word of God because the Bible is very clear that scriptural Baptism is a burial or immersion in water.

As the service company contracted to maintain the PA/VA system throughout the entire O2 complex, Eddie Thomas's ETASound find themselves supporting between 150 and 200 events per year.
The main arena itself is equipped with a full Harman Pro rig, offering a matched JBL/Crown/BSS system solution, operating on a CobraNet backbone running HiQnet. But Thomas also holds a huge inventory of complementary Harman Pro components, making him ideally placed to add any further reinforcement when the occasion arises. Harman Pro is one of several audio brands distributed in the UK by Sound Technology.
The most challenging events, says Thomas, are not so much the conventional music gigs as the sports events — such as the NHL (ice hockey) and NBA (basketball) matches. For the past two years ETASound has provided sound and broadcast facilities for the NBA basketball Europe Live event, and over 16,200 people attended the first game between the Miami Heat and NY Jets, when the event was also broadcast to over 200 countries across the world.
Last month, the sound company was on site again for a series of matches between the New Jersey Nets and Toronto Raptors: this was notable for being the first regular-season NBA game to be staged in Europe.
ETASound provided two Soundcraft Vi1 mixing desks, multiple radio microphone systems, broadcast splits and press conference facilities (including the second Vi1) along with a full engineering crew.
"The small format desk is perfect in this layout and with 64 inputs, it has plenty of capacity," says Thomas, noting the large number of mic inputs and splits to the OB trucks, as commentators, cheerleaders, a DJ (who plugs his laptop or Instant Replay machine into the desk for independent control), and the half time interval acts (such as Escala from Britain's Got Talent) go through their routines. "We make sure that the only thing anyone has to do is plug into the existing house system – the VerTec provides extremely even coverage throughout the arena."
But the PA is only part of the story as ETASound also provides all the feeds to broadcast via the host broadcasters to the States for ESPN Freeview. There are separate splits for the mics and the music from the Vi1, along with show relay feeds to go into talkback.
One of the most challenging tasks is arranging splits to the OB trucks on all inputs from the press conference area, and ensuring perfect coverage, and this requires four staff to be operating permanently from both positions. "People in the press conference room need to know what's going on out in the arena, but you have to watch your feedback levels closely, because with your mix going out to broadcast you have to get your balance just right," says Thomas.
The Vi1 is perfect for this type of event, Thomas concludes. "Aside from a maximum of 64 inputs there are 30 bands of BSS graphic EQ – and we can also use it as a matrix mixer."

If you live in Lexington, KY then you know Chico Fellini. You know Emily Hagihara's bass, Brandon Judd's drums, Duane Lundy's guitar and Chris Dennison's voice. Most definitely Chris Dennison's voice.
Perhaps Lexington's most ambitious band since The Scourge of the Sea, Chico Fellini has been going full speed ahead since their inception in 2006. Shows haven't been abundant, yet they have spanned the country, with the band playing CMJ and any of the local and regional dives that were worthy.
Though they had been hard at work for over a year polishing and perfecting their sound, the band seemed to have truly come into their own through their preparation for and their performance at Lexington's Beaux Arts Ball in 2008 (they will reprise their victory with another set at this year's Beaux Arts!). Only one who has attended a Beaux Arts Ball can understand the magic that takes place there. It's an alternate reality with everyone in a costume of their own making, engaging in what seems to be a nonstop dance party, with the drinks flowing freely… it's impossible to describe and a tragedy to miss. To imagine what it must be like on that stage with hundreds of the most devout fans that money couldn't even buy, could blow one's mind. The result skyrocketed Chico Fellini into the studio to finish writing and recording their super ambitious, self-titled debut album.
Chico Fellini consists of nine songs in total, running a mere thirty minutes in length. Though the album is brief, it packs an undeniable punch. Chris Dennison's vocals are undoubtedly the star, ranging from operatic to soaring falsetto; Dennison covers the bases that no one else does. He seems able to channel a thousand genres with one note, creating a sound and style all his own. Dennison's vocal style and range bring to mind some sort of androgynous alien being, whose goal is to simply rock our socks off! Imagine Antony Hegarty (of Antony and the Johnsons) at his weirdest, David Bowie at his most theatric, and Matthew Bellamy (of Muse) singing his hardest and you might have an inclination as to what Dennison is capable of.
Of course, Dennison is only part of the equation. Without his band, his voice would fall flat and thin, and that is what makes Chico Fellini such an impressive machine. No one can exist without the other. The four work together for one common goal; it is a dark, persistent, pulsing, and forever melodramatic goal, which they reach hand in hand. With Lundy's piercing lead guitar, never too shy to make its way to the forefront, and the thundering, yet understated bass and drum work laying everything down and then keeping it all in check, no stone is left unturned.
Fact is, Chico Fellini is not for everyone. The androgynous but overt sexuality of these songs aren't fit for the faint at heart and despite the fact that songs like "Despite The Mix Up" and "Electrolyte" are just as infectious as any current pop offering their non-traditional delivery and content will leave some folks scratching their heads. However, somehow I don't think that appealing to the masses is anywhere near this band's goal. Simply put, their quirks and theatrics will inevitably drive some away while endearing them to others. Which one are you?

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham vigorously condemned the savage murder of a captivated Jordanian pilot by the terrorist Daesh group.
She termed the murder an inhuman act which did not abide by any Islamic codes of conduct.
She further expressed sympathy with the family of the murdered pilot as well as the Jordanian government and nation.
She highlighted the share of all countries supporting the terror group which culminated in the heinous crime and stressed the importance of avoiding selective treatment of the issue of terrorism which indicates the necessity of adopting measures to strongly confront all crimes committed by the terrorist groups.
The terrorist Daesh group released a video on Tuesday containing images of burning alive the 26-year old Jordanian pilot Mouath al-Kasaesbeh.

Give thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Genesis 27:1-13, 18-36, 39-40
Isaac Blesses Jacob
27 When Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his older son and said to him, "My son"; and he answered, "Here I am." 2 He said, "Behold, I am old; I do not know the day of my death. 3 Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me, 4 and prepare for me delicious food, such as I love, and bring it to me so that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die."
5 Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game and bring it, 6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "I heard your father speak to your brother Esau, 7 'Bring me game and prepare for me delicious food, that I may eat it and bless you before the Lord before I die.' 8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice as I command you. 9 Go to the flock and bring me two good young goats, so that I may prepare from them delicious food for your father, such as he loves. 10 And you shall bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies." 11 But Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. 12 Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be mocking him and bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing." 13 His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, bring them to me."
18 So he went in to his father and said, "My father." And he said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?" 19 Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me." 20 But Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He answered, "Because the Lord your God granted me success." 21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not." 22 So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, who felt him and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau." 23 And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him. 24 He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He answered, "I am." 25 Then he said, "Bring it near to me, that I may eat of my son's game and bless you." So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near and kiss me, my son." 27 So he came near and kissed him. And Isaac smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him and said,
"See, the smell of my son
is as the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed!
28 May God give you of the dew of heaven
and of the fatness of the earth
and plenty of grain and wine.
29 Let peoples serve you,
and nations bow down to you.
Be lord over your brothers,
and may your mother's sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you,
and blessed be everyone who blesses you!"
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 31 He also prepared delicious food and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, "Let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that you may bless me." 32 His father Isaac said to him, "Who are you?" He answered, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau." 33 Then Isaac trembled very violently and said, "Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed." 34 As soon as Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, O my father!" 35 But he said, "Your brother came deceitfully, and he has taken away your blessing." 36 Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing." Then he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"
39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:
"Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be,
and away from the dew of heaven on high.
40 By your sword you shall live,
and you shall serve your brother;
but when you grow restless
you shall break his yoke from your neck."

O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
