Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity
The kettle is boiling us a mess of 808 808 808 808 808 808ssssssssssssssssssssssss
Love a bit of 808 and Thomas Schumacher brings us a load of these in his Is Your Kettle On? and its remixes. There's something fantastically old skool and uncomplicated about the original club mix. It hisses and whubbs fabulously. Douglas Greed gives it more of a jerky house feel. Kai Von Glasgow smooths everything out to give a R&B/House tune. Not sure about this one. Finally, Acid Ted favourite Kris Menace gives it a synthy spin. A fine remix but still doesn't match the original.
Blurb: The second single release from Thomas Schumachers critically acclaimed album STAND UP is a collaboration featuring none other than the fabulous Chelonis R. Jones. Chelonis is an electropop musician, painter, poet, singer, songwriter and producer. Born and raised in California and New York, he is currently living in Europe. Thomas and Chelonis first crossed paths when Thomas remixed his song"Black Sabrina" in 2005 and again while they were releasing on Get Physical. Right at the begining of the recordings for STAND UP, Thomas produced a playback specifically with Chelonis in mind, imagining his unmistakable falsetto voice, referencing Curtis Mayfield. Chelonis was immediately on board and very soon after delivered the amazing performace that is, IS YOUR KETTLE ON? The original album version is a sparse piece of Electronica driven by an old school, downtempo 808 beat with an outstanding, emotional vocal performance from Chelonis R. Jones. With remixes from Kris Menace, Douglas Greed, Kai von Glasow and Thomas Schumacher himself, the fifth release on Electric Ballroom will be out on July 11th 2013.
Release/catalogue number: EBM005

Best post title EVER. It takes a genius to quote Flaubert in reviewing a techno track. Chapeau!

One Good Reason To Hang On (5)
I would have been without hope if I had not believed that I would see the loving-kindness of the Lord in the land of the living. – Psalm 27:13 (NLV)
This passage gives you another reason to be optimistic in the face of a critical challenge that is threatening to tear your world apart or destroy all you have laboured for. If any man knew what it meant to be afflicted with myriads of problems, it was David. Declared an enemy of state when the reigning king, Saul, turned against him and launched a massive manhunt for his head, David took to the wilderness and became a fugitive. Harassed, pursued and severally betrayed, he was always on the move without a permanent base. He suffered all these for no offense, except that he was favoured by God to become king.
Nevertheless, he maintained an upbeat attitude about his predicament. He made the most of the negative situation, fostering goodwill among the people he mingled with in the course of his flight as well as building a followership of loyalists and a formidable army whose exploits later saw to it that he had successful war campaigns and was never defeated in battle.
David was able to do all these because he adopted a long-term perspective, as seen in the reference passage; at the height of his problems, he did not give up hope because he was convinced that he would still experience God's goodness, not as a dead man but while he was still alive!
David's example is a good reference for us that the best is yet to come. No matter the situation you find yourself at the moment, it is important to note that tough times indeed never last. So your present challenge does not have the capacity to get the better of you, unless you allow it to. It will not outlast you; you will be the one to outlive it and even see through many more challenges besides in the process of your becoming a better person on all fronts.
Don't lose hope, because you will soon see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. And that is a good enough reason to cheer up and hang on.
You will succeed in Jesus Name!

Christopher Associates Debuts Remote Live Option for the Tagarno Magnus HD
Christopher Associates Inc. today announced the release of its new Remote Live option for the Tagarno Magnus HD Inspection System. Remote Live enables streaming of the Tagarno Magnus HD's signal, allowing users in different buildings (or different parts of the world) to share the same field of view.
The Remote Live option bridges the gap between the manufacturing floor and QA/engineering on the inside; and between suppliers and customers on the outside ― anywhere in the world.
The Remote Live option connects the Tagarno Magnus HD to a desktop PC (via capture card), running specifically designed software. Remote Live is a turnkey solution ― it is set up and tested prior to shipping.
Remote Live includes a video capture option that is excellent for training videos and builds on the Magnus HD's already impressive array of options. The Magnus HD can be configured to meet individual specifications so that users do not have to settle for the "one size fits none" approach of previous systems.
The Magnus HD inspection system offers unparalleled image quality, a large field of view and the ability to work precisely under the lens in a wide range of applications including electronics, medical, aerospace and micromechanics. The system also allows multiple viewers to see the same image on monitors up to 42. Additionally, traceability and data recording software are available to meet a range of industrial and technical requirements.

Enjoy this extra special treat on Mother's Day.
I am a huge fan of coconut cream pie, and a local barbecue joint has what I think is the absolute best. So, when a friend of mine pointed me to this recipe, saying it was really close to that one, I immediately ran out to grab the stuff to make it.
Admittedly, it was pretty close, but with a few tweaks, I think this version is now even closer … dare I say, nearly perfect?
It's deliciously thick and creamy with tons of coconut flavor because of the addition of a little coconut extract. And I just love the complement of the sweetened whipped cream on top. While I love a good meringue, I think the flavors of coconut just go so well with the cream. Adding a little toasted coconut on top gives the pie a perfect textural contrast if you've got a few extra minutes to toast some, but it's perfectly delicious without it, too.
Old-Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie
Prep time: 30 minutes
Chill time: 4 hours
Servings: 8
- 1 (9-inch) pie shell, baked according to the package instructions
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
For the whipped cream:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, salt, cornstarch, half-and-half and egg yolks.
- Place the pan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until boiling.
- Cook for 1 to 2 additional minutes, until thick.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla and coconut extracts.
- Add the coconut and stir until the butter has melted completely.
- Pour into the prepared crust, cover and chill at least four hours, but preferably overnight.
- Once ready to serve, beat the cream and powdered sugar together in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Top the pie with the whipped cream and serve.
- Add toasted coconut, if desired.
For toasted coconut, spread 1 cup of sweetened coconut flakes on a parchment- or silicone mat-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake it at 325 degrees, stirring every 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch it closely, though. Once it starts browning, it will brown very quickly. Cool completely.

Auto Enrolment For Hospitality Businesses
Workplace Pensions For Restaurateurs, Cafes & Caterers, Hoteliers, Travel Companies & Other Service Providers
Are you aware of new laws that requires all UK employers from all sectors including those in customer-facing hospitality businesses to enrol all their eligible employees into a workplace pension scheme by a certain date? Failure to do so could result in a hefty fine or even imprisonment.
So whether you're a small B&B in the country, a chain of high street travel agents or a Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of the city, you need to ensure that you are compliant by the 'staging date' set out by the government. If you're employing staff for the first time on or after 1st October 2017, you will need to provide your first member of staff with a workplace pension on the day they start work. This date is known as an employer's 'duties start date'.
Other Key Features Of Smart Pension Include:
Online Management:
Everything is managed online. Once you are signed up, start setting up your workplace pension. Create employee groups to reflect the different seniorities of staff and then make your first contribution. Or even easier, we will work it all out for you based on the information you upload so that your qualifying employees receive the minimum legal required contribution from your company.
Easy To Make Changes:
Once your employee details have been entered, they are stored and remembered for next time. Should there be any changes in your team, such as a change of salary for the hotel manager or a new receptionist joining the team, you can update these details with just a few clicks, which is particularly helpful in the hospitality industry where employee turnover can be quite high.
Instant Direct Debit:
Setting up direct debit is a one simple step process whereby your bank account is validated and set up in a few seconds. There's no waiting around to get an answer.
Automatic And Compulsory Employee Documentation:
Documentation is generated automatically with your company name and logo and is sent out pre enrolment but before the crucial 'staging date', and post enrolment when employees are signed up. We stay on top of it so you don't have to*.
Employee Self Administration:
You employees can manage their own opt in / opt out status and amend their level of contribution without you having to get involved, giving you more time to do your day job.
For further information and more details about the unique features of Smart Pension and how it could work for your hospitality business, you should have a look at the Why Choose Smart Pension? page. Or alternatively, you can book an appointment to speak to one of our experienced team members via our booking form.
More Information
* Please note that you are responsible for meeting your deadlines, not us. We cannot accept any responsibility if you miss your deadline.
The Smart Pension automatic enrolment workplace pension platform is designed specifically for auto enrolment but is tailored to meet your hospitality business needs.
Smart Pension is also well suited to the needs of other sectors, particularly those with a higher turnover, such as employment/recruitment agencies, construction businesses, farming businesses, call centres, retailers, and employers of home helpers/domestic staff such as personal carers, nannies and cleaners.

Federal ICT Minister Helen Coonan has approved Telstra's operational separation plan aimed at promoting transparency and equivalence in Telstra's supply of services to wholesale customers.
Coonan said the plan committed Telstra to the operational and organisational separation of Telstra Corporation Limited, the equivalent provision of wholesale services to Telstra's wholesale customers and its retail business units.
"The plan is only one of three key elements to the operational separation framework with the detailed strategy documents and price equivalence arrangements completing the package," she said in a statement.
Telstra's operational separation strategies have also been released together with the plan while the price equivalence framework will be finalised and released on 30 June 2006, said Coonan.
"Telstra is now required to implement the strategies for service quality, information equivalence, information security and customer responsiveness, which relate to the telco's wholesale services generally, and notional internal contracts, key performance indicators and the price equivalence framework, related to services."
Also under the plan, Telstra is required to establish and maintain within the company separate wholesale, retail and key network services business units.
This is designed to prevent the internal functions that its wholesale customers rely upon to compete effectively with Telstra from being operated in a way that systematically advantages its retail business, she said.
Telstra is now required to have separate staff and separate premises for the Telstra wholesale and Telstra retail business units. Anyone who works for Telstra retail unit can no longer work for the wholesale unit."
Coonan also said before making a price change to a retail equivalent of a designated service, Telstra will use a retail pricing tool to determine whether the ACCC would be likely to have concerns about price squeezing or other competition concerns under the Trade Practices Act.
"The operational separation strategies will collectively provide performance standards around the provision of Telstra's services to wholesale customers. In particular, the strategies will ensure equivalent delivery of services to wholesale customers with Telstra's retail units," she added.
Telstra's operational separation plan approved

Loading Clock Preview...
"Dichroic Rose" Clock
Type : Matrix3x5WithColorGridBg
Description :
The clock's display has a typical height and aspect ratio. The clock has a nice amount of padding at the edges. There is a good amount of space between the digits of the clock's display, so the digits have plenty of breathing room. The clock has an edge glow effect. The edge glow is intensely opaque. The color of the edge glow is close to dark slate grey, with a hint of dark olive green and dim grey. It is fat and extends close to the center, leaving just a window clear in the middle. The clock has a color grid effect as a background. The color at the top left corner is close to bisque, with a hint of blanched almond and peach puff. The color at the top right corner is close to maroon, with a hint of dark red and black. The color at the bottom left corner is close to brown, with a hint of fire brick and crimson. The color at the bottom right corner is close to tan, with a hint of dark salmon and rosy brown. The digits of the clock's display are made up of several segments. The digits are intensely opaque, so it is difficult to see anything directly beneath them. Their color is close to light coral, with a hint of pale violet red and salmon. There is no gap between the digit segments. The digit segments have a drop shadow. The direction of the shadow is between northeast and east-northeast. The shadow is offset very slightly. The shadow is quite blurred, and its outline is not so clear. The shadow has a fair amount of spread, adding strength. The color of the shadow is black. The shadow is almost completely opaque, and should feel rather strong
The Matrix3x5WithColorGridBg clock combines a 3x5 matrix display for the digits, a four corner color grid gradient background, and an edge glow with themeable color, thickness, and opacity. The individual segments of the digits support theming by color, opacity, segment gap, and a drop shadow. Additionally, digit spacing, overall clock aspect ratio, and edge padding can also be themed.

With a slightly later start to day (maybe on account of the scorching 36+ degree heat!) the room was buzzing with HR professionals who're keen to kick in to another day of information download.Our eagerly anticipated first speaker of the day – Paul Block, Global HR Operations Manager, Twitter (USA) couldn't make due to a back injury. But this just gave us all more time to network and spend some quality time checking out the Vendor/Partner halls.There were over 20 vendors participating this year. The usual folk from various ATS platforms but also some cool new guys who we don't often see around these HR parts. Fitbit and Obvious Choice were real standouts in this respect. There were discussions during the day around the role that HR plays in our people's health and wellbeing as well as encouraging more collaboration around online self-learning so having these two cool tech companies represented made real sense.The Broadbean and HROnboard team are always good value. With integrations being a key theme yesterday, it was awesome to find Vendors who're keen to move in this direction.Once the speakers got underway, everyone was ready and raring to go - prepped for the next wave of inspiration, challenge and interactivity for Day Two:
Tim Sackett (HRU Technical Resources): Tim hit the ground running with his claim that candidate experience is the biggest lie being sold today. As you can expect, that kicked off a lively debate in the room. Another interesting point Tim made was that candidates have such low expectations when it comes to recruitment that it's easy for us to meet the benchmark. To us, that presents a really exciting opportunity for brands to stand out. If everyone's content with hitting the benchmark, exceeding it becomes a really fun opportunity! What was great about Tim's session was how interactive it was. We heard from some people in the audience that for their Graduate recruitment process they show the actual reality of the opportunity – warts and all. They WANT to provide every opportunity for candidates to withdraw or not even enter the process. As you can expect, we were "Bravo!"ing all over the show.Andrew Culleton (Commonwealth Bank of Australia): I was gutted to miss Andrew's apparently very excellent session, "A Journey to Value – Out of the Fog and into the Cloud". It was running at the same time as Tim's session (the one with all the debate, mentioned above), but all reports point to it being brilliant and insightful.Bill Boorman (Founder of #Tru, Social Recruiting wizard): Gravity kept pulling me into Bill Boorman sessions at this conference – they're just so full of great stories and funny analogies, I can't seems to stay away! This time he was speaking on "Data for Good and Data for Evil and the Aggregation of Everything". He reminded us that the way that our staff consume content has evolved a lot. He outlined which time of days that we consume the most content and drew a correlation to when we go to toilet at the office (and the architectural repercussions on office bathroom fit-outs). He spoke about the need for HR to stop using data to police behaviour and develop more understanding of the value and opportunity social-media active staff can present. He also talked about the need to consider how our people are making career decisions – from grads to current employees to alumni. People are having multiple careers and staying with a business forever is no longer appealing.Matt Alder (Chief Strategist Metashift UK): Matt ran a session on Social Media and Employer Branding – Driving the Workplace of the Future. I love a good interactive session and this one didn't disappoint. As we all shared and discussed our own stories, the overarching message was that as HR professionals we still need to embrace Social Media even more. Consider making social media a part of everyone's every job. Got some nervous adopters in your team? Provide training. Matt talked about a Coffee chain that takes a photo of each staff member who receives a promotion, holding a one-word sign sharing how they feel. This photo is shared on the internal Facebook page so staff from other stores can engage and say congrats. Nice and simple and helps with employer brand. He urged us to not over think it, but to make sure we create a simple strategy and stick to quality content over quantity every time.
This was definitely one of the best HR conferences I've attended in recent years (awesome work to the crew at The Eventful Group). It was, obviously, exciting to hear that NZ is regarded as one of the most innovative countries of the world in the adoption and creation of clever HRTech (thanks Bill). Overall, it seems we're all moving with the times a lot faster and enthusiastically than we were 12 months ago. Our questions have moved on from Why to How can we change, and that's really encouraging for a little HRTech startup here in NZ.

MSM ropes in Red Chillies for TV and digital content
MUMBAI: It was hardly a couple of months or so ago that Multi Screen Media (MSM – rebranded earlier this month as Sony Pictures Networks India Pvt Ltd - SPNIL) announced that it was getting into bed with global sports broadcast major ESPN in India to launch a few sports channels and sports initiatives.
Now MSM has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. The duo is entering into a strategic alliance under which the two will explore opportunities in co-produced- television, digital and film content.
MSM has also acquired the TV rights of the film Dilwale which is expected to have a fabulous run at the box office as it heralds the return of the hit nineties on-screen couple SRK and Kajol. Directed by Rohit Shettyy, it also has Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon in pivotal roles.
"Over the last 20 years that we've been in the industry, we've served some of the best cinema and general entertainment to viewers worldwide," says MSM CEO NP Singh says "As a network, our focus remains aligned to becoming the first choice in television and digital entertainment. Towards that end, this alliance of MSM and Red Chillies is expansive and pans a spectrum of co-produced content not only across television and digital but also films. Moreover, this partnership adds to MSM's already extensive library of blockbuster films."
Adds Red Chillies Entertainments CEO Venky Mysore: "We haves consistently pushed the boundaries across the spectrum, creating and producing entertaining content and ensuring it engages audiences worldwide on all the different platforms. In a first for us, we are entering into a partnership with MSM, that will explore content production across different platforms - TV, digital and films."
"MSM under NP Singh seems to be getting into higher gear over the last few months," There's a new buzz of energy going through the organization.," says a media observer. "The ESPN partnership and now the Red Chillies alliance are clear indicators that the network has put the troubles of the past – like the ill-timed Sony Pal launch, and the lack of big fiction or nonfiction shows on its main GEC Sony - behind it. A new leadership has been brought into Sony –the mother GEC very recently. The alliance with Red Chillies, especially to create televised as well as digital content could provide it with that magic sauce that it badly needs to get Sony into the front runner status amongst Hindi entertainment channels. The fact that Red Chillies has had limited exposure to television and digital content could mean it could bring in fresh thinking into the programming."

Review Details
Complete adjustable brake proportioning kit
- Product Review (submitted on February 21, 2017):
- In a stock configuration, the rear brakes on an NA Miata do almost nothing (except hold the car with the e-brake). I hope you never learn why you want one of these. I was racing my '90 Miata in a World Racing League endurance race at Circuit of the Americas during a torrential downpour. The front wheels would lock up braking into every turn. I had to resort to aggressively engine braking. If I had the proportioning kit, installed at the time, I could have just dialed in more rear brakes, saved my engine, and had faster lap times!

RnR RV Blog
- 0 0Published on Feb 19, 2015
What to Do After you Buy?
So you just bought your brand new RV! It's all yours to take home and enjoy wherever you may like! But your RV buying experience shouldn't stop after you leave the dealership. There are still a few critical steps you need to take before you can really relax and take in the fact that you are an RV owner!
Here are five things every new RV owner should do right after they buy an RV!
1. Register Your RV
In Washington, registering your RV is very similar to how you would register a car. Visit your local DOL office and you will submit your documents forms, etc. If you bought your RV from a dealership, they should be able to tell you what all you will need to get your RV registered down at your local office.
Here are just some of the fees you may be asked to pay depending on circumstances:
- $5 registration service fee
- $12 title service fee
- Inspection fees
- Regional Transportation Authority tax (only for the counties of Pierce, King, and Snohomish).
Registering your RV may be a hassle, but it something that needs to be done to insure that you are legally allowed on the road with one. Get this done right away.
2. City Regulations for Storage
So you have an RV, but you aren't going to use it every day like you would a car, so where do you keep it? There are several options on where to store RVs, so decide which one is best for you!
- RV Storage Facility
There are plenty of RV storage facilities around that offer outdoor uncovered spaces or even full enclosed, lighted garages with power outlets. Check with your facility on pricing, security and more details
- On Your Property
The easiest option is to store your RV on your property, but unfortunately that is not always legal. You need to check with your city and sometimes neighborhood regulations to see if you can store your RV on your property.
- Garage or Shed
If you are storing your RV in your garage or shed, make sure you can maneuver your RV out of it. If you think it will be difficult to get in and out, look for another option.
3. Check to Make Sure There Are No Surprises
This is especially true if you are buying used. Sometimes you can get in your RV a month or two after you bought it and discover issues that you weren't aware of, and then headaches can happen. Make sure right away you inspect and check your RV for any flaws so you can address them with the seller in a timely manner. If you buy new, usually there are warranties that cover minor damage and repair.
4. Clean
Again this is mainly for used RV units. Cleaning your RV is not only a great way to start your owning process, it can also be a good way to inspect things and make sure everything is running smoothly. Get inside your RV and dust and clean major areas, taking notes of areas that might need more work than others. Once you are done cleaning, get a schedule for cleaning your RV on a regular basis. A clean RV goes a long way in making your owning experience easier.
5. Test Run
Take your RV out for a test run! Driving an RV is a challenge and may take a lot of practice for some. Take a simulated trip somewhere to get used to driving, hitching and unhitching your unit. RVing mistakes are most common with new RV owners who aren't used to hitching and driving an RV properly. The more practice you can get doing basic RV tasks, the more fun you will have and less money it will cost you!
R'nR RV Center
We hope these tips will help you become a smart and successful RV owner! If you are looking to become an RV Owner, let Eastern Washington's largest RV dealer help! At R'nR RV Center we offer one of the largest RV selections in the Spokane area. We feature three locations in Liberty Lake, Airway Heights and Lewiston-Clarkston to better serve you, our customers.

Today's inspirational & healthy spark:
wild and precious life
Today's inspirational spark:
The Summer Day
Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean- the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down- who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
—Mary Oliver
fighting spirit
Today's inspirational art spark:
Do not go gentle into that good night
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Three samples –
growing up
The Oak Tree
My younger cousin sent me a Hallmark card in the mail.
Who knew that a $2.99 gesture could be worth so much more?
A mighty wind blew night and day.
It stole the oak tree's leaves away,
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark.
But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around.
The weary wind gave up and spoke,
"How can you still be standing, Oak?"
The oak tree said, "I know that you
Can break each branch of mine in two,
Carry every leaf away,
Shake my limbs, and make me sway.
But I have roots stretched in the earth,
Growing stronger since my birth.
You'll never touch them, for you see,
They are the deepest part of me.
Until today, I wasn't sure
Of just how much I could endure.
But now I've found, with thanks to you,
I'm stronger than I ever knew."

Psalm 139 - How A Passage Says
Lesson From Structure: How a passage says is as important as what a passage says. Psalm 139 is a great illustration of this rule of Bible interpretation.
In December of 2017 I presented this study at the Grapevine, TX Preacher's Study. The material presented is the culmination of about two years worth of study and research and yet it merely introduces one of Matthew's greatest themes. I pray this study will provoke bible students to re-examine familiar territory and also encourage them to never lose sight of the forest for all the trees. If you are interested in more studies along this line, be sure to check out our Matthew Study material.
A special thanks to Christian Landmark for making this and other video recordings available.
The story found in 2 Kings 2:23-25 of an angry prophet, two she bears, and forty-two mauled children is one that has puzzled Bible readers. Recently a young man asked me about the meaning of the story, and all I could provide was when one mistreats a prophet of God he mistreats God Himself for you cannot separate God from His prophet. While I still believe that to be a true concept, I no longer believe it is the main thrust of the story.
The trial of Stephen is a pivotal moment in the Book of Acts and contains one of the greatest sermons ever preached by man. Stephen's trial echoes that of Christ's and has a similar effect on the early church. Within Stephen's sermon is contained the history of Israel in nutshell form and God's history of redemption on brilliant display. Stephen's sermon ends in the same place where Peter's sermon ended on the Day of Pentecost, and though the people were again cut to the heart, mass conversions were not the result. The third witness to Jerusalem climaxed in tragedy, yet with a divine ovation, as the gospel began its outward expansion to the ends of the earth.
The audio sermon below was recorded in November of 2016 and contains a sermon that I have preached only once. I am looking forward to giving it again next Lord's Day and hope the boldness of Stephen will rekindle the fire of conviction in the hearts of God's children as it has mine.
Hebrew Parallelism
One of the unique features of Old Testament poetry (and sometime prose) is heavy use of parallelism. Hebrew parallelism generally presents itself in one of the following three formats:
First, there is what is known as a straight line parallelism or an AA, BB, pattern of parallelism in which consecutive lines parallel each other and help interpret one another. For example, Psalm 44:1:
What is the #1 enemy of unity? How is the creation mandate fulfilled in the Church? In what way does Acts 2 portray a reversal of Babel and the original division of languages? We hope the following audio sermon provides the answers to these questions and more.
The book of Acts should be considered the second volume in a two-volume set. This point is often overlooked due to the arrangement of the New Testament cannon wherein the Gospel of John is placed between the two volumes.
Consider the following points:
Pondering Ecclesiastes
Here is a free PDF version of Brother Ron Courter's helpful study on the book of Ecclesiastes. If you get a chance, drop him a line to thank him for his work and making it available.
Savage Death
All my life I have heard the story of the crucifixion taught and assumed I had an accurate understanding of the suffering Christ endured. I was surprised to learn that some of what I thought I knew was actually false. I encourage you to take some time and consider the following presentation with an open mind. May we ever strive to fully appreciate the incredible price that was payed at Calvary for our redemption and live a life of gratitude as an expression of thanks.
A Living Hell?
Life is tough. Sometimes it doesn't make sense. For a while things roll along just fine, and then out of nowhere tragedy follows tragedy. Life overwhelms.
One preacher put it this way. "Cheer up! Things could always get worse. So, sure enough, I cheered up and things got worse!"

Tidal flats in the north of Vietnam from Quang Ninh to Ninh Binh provinces are impacted by land-ocean interaction processes and human activity. The flats are experiencing erosion in some parts and accretion in others, as well as the accumulation of pollutants. This study examines core samples extracted from the region to systematically quantify changes in sedimentary processes and the accumulation of heavy metals. A total of 11 sediment cores were collected from the tidal flats and analyzed for 210Pb, 226Ra, grain size, and heavy metal content. Sedimentation rates, according to the constant rate supply model (CRS), ranged from 0.04 to 15.00 cm/year. There was evidence of spikes in sedimentation rates for brief episodes; however, the average ranged from 0.14 to 3.04 cm/year. In the north of the study area, the sedimentation rate was low, then increased to the center and the south. The concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, As, and Cd) in the sediments were found to increase with time. Additionally, an increasing trend was observed from the north to the south of the study area. The concentrations of heavy metals Cu, Pb, and As in the sediments from the center to the south exceeded the ISQG levels.

|From FutureLife March 14, 2012
It's an achievement of dubious status, I realize.
Some things have changed since I began the effort to read every issue of the magazine. My original intention had been to come up with a business plan for a similar magazine. But over the next several years, I realized that there already were a number of publications that served the market for science-interested people who also love science fiction. None of them were the same as Future Life, naturally, but they covered more than enough of the same topics that there would not have been room for a new magazine in the same market space.
And yet, I continued reading, partly out of a self-induced urge to complete what I'd started, and partly because I was learning a lot about publishing by reading these 30-year-old magazines. I've been in the editorial business long enough to be able to tell when a short news article is nothing more than a warmed-over press release; I have a pretty good sense of when an article is published basically as a favor to someone; I know enough about paper weights, page counts, and coatings to be able to gauge the financial health of a publication.
I was also learning other things, though; perhaps it is better to say I was being reminded of other things. Future Life published its last issue in late 1981 (the cover date is December 1981, so it was actually released in late October of that year). Its entire life spanned only four years of eight annual issues. But the articles it contained reminded me of the public mood at the time and how it changed dramatically over the next decade. In the late 1970s, despite all of the country's economic problems, the expectation was that we would keep exploring space, building permanent orbiting space colonies by the end of the century. The feature interview in Future Life #31 was with James Beggs, the Reagan administration's newly installed administrator of NASA. The interview is largely devoted to him explaining all of the economic restraints that were being placed on the space agency. Basically: We'd like to do A, B, and C; but budget director David Stockman is only going to allow us to do A, and we'll have to scale that down, too.
|From FutureLife March 14, 2012
Naturally, NASA didn't get to do much of squat, other than limp along with the already-outdated space shuttle, and colonization plans – commercial or private – simply receded from memory as the deep economic recession of the early 1980s took hold. It was a time when Americans went through something the British have gone through numerous times in the postwar years: austerity. We didn't like it then any more than we like it now.
The country would come roaring out of that recession, its economy partially Reaganized (the full Reaganization would really take place under successors Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama) and its priorities much more refocused on the ground in front of us. But the futures dreamed of and written about by Future Life's staff were largely forgotten. In that four-year period, those futures included everything from galactic civilization to farming the seabeds to floating cities to life extension to ion drives to orbiting space junk to space warfare to overpopulation to laser art and on and on.
To its credit and unlike competitor Omni magazine, Future Life always remained refreshingly skeptical about UFOs. If Future Life had an obsession, though, it was scientist Gerard K. O'Neill's "high frontier" concept of orbiting space colonies, and many articles, columns, space art, and news briefs were taken up with working out the practical steps of such a plan. What would be the economics (and the economy) of colonies? How would you transport people and cargo to them? How would you exercise in zero-g?
|From FutureLife March 14, 2012
Future Life was a mixture of science and science fiction (films, books, paintings, etc.), and I think the magazine was an attempt to take the energy that the science fiction fan often burns off on daydreaming and self-absorption, and expend it instead on solving real problems and setting the fan's sights on how to put their ideals to real-world uses. That, too, is an approach that I think has been lost. It might have been the particular interests of Future Life's publishers and editors at that point in time, or it might have been a marriage between their efforts and the huge influx of new fans inspired by Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the Star Trek movie, but after Future Life died, science fiction media coverage elsewhere tended to grow ever-more narrowly focused on feeding fanboy obsessions, without introducing any higher expectations for that fan.
I had only begun reading Future Life magazine a couple issues before it stopped newsstand circulation and became a largely subscription-only publication. By the time my eighth-grade self was able to scrape together enough money to pay for a subscription, the magazine ceased publication altogether. It would be almost three decades before I cobbled together a complete collection of the magazine and begin reading what I'd missed. That's how I came to see what we've all missed out on these past few decades.

I have the privilege and honor to be reminded of Edward Donley's generosity and legacy to children, as I sit in my office on Community Services for Children's Donley Children's Campus and gaze out the window overlooking the Donley Infant and Family Center. Community Services for Children joins with the rest of the entire Lehigh Valley community in sadness at Mr. Donley's passing, and recognition of both his and his wife Inez's and the entire Donley family's remarkable contributions to society. We were so lucky to have had his enduring support.
I met Mr. Donley early in my career at CSC and remember these experiences quite well. The saying, "People will forget what you said, but no one will ever forget how you made them feel" by Sivaprakash Sidhu, applies.
Quite simply, in every exchange, Mr. Donley left me inspired. His kindness of spirit, his enthusiasm for creating policies and practices that put children first, his tireless energy and drive just left me inspired. No matter what we discussed, I felt capable and energized to face the challenges at hand. So though there are so many reminders throughout the community of his commitment and generosity, I will not forget his inspirational vision, and how he made me feel.

The writer is CEO/president of Community Services for Children, Allentown.

The objective of this dissertation is to study the use of metamaterials as narrow-band and broadband selective absorbers for opto-thermal and solar thermal energy conversion. Narrow-band selective absorbers have applications such as plasmonic sensing and cancer treatment, while one of the main applications of selective metamaterials with broadband absorption is efficiently converting solar energy into heat as solar absorbers. This dissertation first discusses the use of gold nanowires as narrow-band selective metamaterial absorbers. An investigation into plasmonic localized heating indicated that film-coupled gold nanoparticles exhibit tunable selective absorption based on the size of the nanoparticles. By using anodized aluminum oxide …

"This new webinar series from the AICPA will provide people with the insights they need to succeed in a global landscape."
Current trends point to the importance of diversity and inclusion in contributing to overall business profitability. For example, ethnically diverse companies are 35% more likely to outperform their industry peers.
The webinar series is the latest offering from the AICPA's National Commission on Diversity and Inclusion. The Commission is a profession-wide effort lead by the AICPA to encourage and promote diversity and inclusion within the accounting profession. AICPA's diversity and inclusion program has the goal of creating workplaces in the accounting profession that are better reflective and inclusive of the communities in which they serve.
The three individual webinars are listed below:
Wednesday, September 20, 1-2 p.m. ET. "How to grow your practice in a changing environment: technology and generational impact." Presented by Tariq Khan, Founder and CEO, Global Diversity Marketing, this free session will help participants learn how to maximize the opportunities provided by diversity and inclusion and the role technology plays in defining new rules of engagement.
Thursday, October 19,1-2 p.m. ET. "Developing your global mindset." Presented by Kim Drumgo, AICPA Director, Diversity and Inclusion, this session will provide participants with skills and resources needed to build the cultural dexterity for succeeding in any global situation or setting.
Thursday, November 16, 1-2 p.m. ET. "Global diversity: driving innovation through inclusion": Presented by Kim Drumgo and Mark Brooks, AICPA Senior Manager, Innovation, this session provides participants case studies of how companies have combined the power of innovation and inclusion to better position themselves in a competitive global marketplace. This webcast is $59 for AICPA members and $69 for non-members.
Reporters and the general public can register in advance for this webinar series by linking to the individual sessions.
In addition to the webinar series, the AICPA provides tools and resources to promote diversity and inclusion, such as: The Recruitment and Retention Toolkit, which features an outline of the process necessary to make diversity and inclusion initiatives an ongoing part of companies' cultures to help them fulfill their overall goals for recruitment and retention; and Inclusion Solutions, a free monthly newsletter that informs the accounting profession of best practices in diversity and inclusion.

I'm working on revisions (the self-imposed kind for now) of a WIP that at this point needs a lot of them. I have my list of revision notes laid out in an order that makes sense to me, largest points to smallest points (because why fine-tune the dialogue tags in a scene that might get rewritten?). And I'm close enough to the top of the list that much of the work involves reconsidering big questions about the characters and their world, and the structure and timeline of the story. There will be a point later when revisions can be done in fifteen-minute chunks if I so choose, but this is not that point. Now, I need longer periods of quiet, focused time when I'm feeling energetic and ready to think. But that's not the weird part.
It's also not that weird that in between one revision point (say, figure out some reasons two friends are so loyal and find ways to indicate these reasons) and another (add or subtract days from the plot so Monday follows Sunday), I feel the need to clear my head. To do something less thoughtful for a couple of minutes--hey, look, the device I'm writing on just happens to contain the Internet! What is a little weird, in a brains-are-mysterious-and-cool sort of way, is that in these moments, I crave music. Not continuous music while I'm working, just two minutes of music while I'm not. It helps remove the muddled feeling from my mind much more efficiently than a musicless break might. Occasionally, it even reminds of a theme song at the end of a TV show. The Fix-This-Character Show is over! Time for the Fix-This-Timeline Show!
Maybe it's a way of subconsciously telling myself, "Someone else managed a creative feat. So can you."
Anyone else have quirky revision rituals?

I know this is a rather long video, but it's definitely worthwhile. It's the author himself reading two brilliantly humorous yet thoughtful works. His style has a way of using humor to get past the heart's defenses in order to communicate some deeper truth at the same time.

I love these two excerpts! They are laugh-out-loud-funny at points, but also poignant, and I posted them on my blog right after he died. I've used the portion that starts at around 24:40 in a sermon too. "A Supposedly Fun Thing That I'll Never Do Again" appeared to (rightly) sell out in about five minutes at the conference.
Folks, if you have a minute, try watching this reading. You will not be dissappointed!
Good stuff, esp. the bit John references following 24:40….wow.

Urgent - Elizabeth Needs Help!
We are an animal control facility; these guys (Edward, Elizabeth and Henry) are going to stress themselves out very quickly, which will severely limit the amount of time we will be able to keep them. We are trying to get them out as quickly as possible. It seems that they have not been treated well at all by their previous owners, and we would love for them to have a second chance at life.
Good with other dogs; shows pointing instinct; jumps up on people; not housebroken. These guys are very hyper and seem to have had no work done with them. I have the feeling that they have been kept in a very small enclosure...they came in covered in feces and urine, and it took them awhile to get used to having room to move around.
For more information, please contact:

It took no time at all for Lindsay to move up to the high dive at Beachwood. She was SOOOOO excited to jump (Mommy was INCREDIBLY nervous, per the usual). She bravely strutted her stuff to the end of the board and without hesitation she leapt into the air and gracefully landed SMACK flat on her belly. OUCH!
My poor sweetie really hurt belly, and I think she was fighting back the tears. She just kept telling me all night that it really hurt when she hit the water. Luckily I caught a video of her heroic jump!

When I lost my weight. I noticed something weird about one of my legs. The right leg looked muscular, while my left leg looked skinny. And people were noticing too. I thought it was weird, but I told myself it would work itself out.
Last year, mid summer, I started to get a really bad pain in my left calf and knee. It was a weird pain. I couldn't really pinpoint the actual spot of he pain. I couldn't touch it and say "ouch, it hurts there". The pain was coming from inside my leg. It hurt while walking, while standing, even while sitting sometimes. X-rays and CT scan came back with nothing definitive. It was then determined by a couple of doctors that my left leg couldn't handle my running and was told to stop. This thought killed me! I had signed up for a Warrior Dash with some friends that was two months away too. Now that was out of the question.
In speaking with a friend that was going to school to be Physical Therapist, she recommended I go see one to see if they can help. So I had my doctor refer me to one. The lady that I went to see was a godsend! She looked at my leg and the first word out of her moth was "I see what the problem is, you have a little leg...." She was a joker I tell ya but she was good. She worked with me for over 3 months and had me try different sneakers and different exercises to help strengthen my leg. During this time I was still running. Not the 20-25 miles a week I was normally doing. I was doing more like 5 miles a week. A mile or so each run. She said that I always had a weaker leg, and it was normal for a lot of people, but since I never ran before, it was never a problem.
Once we figured out a good combination of strengthening exercises, sneakers and knee support my leg started feeling better. When Warrior Dash came around, the plan was to go with my friends but not run. Our scheduled wave was at 11am and after seeing the first couple of waves go through, I couldn't take it any more! I decided that I was going to run it! Threw on my Spartan costume, running sneakers, my knee brace and lined up for my wave!
My leg hurt and probably wasn't a good idea to do it. But I'm glad I did. My friends thought I was crazy but knew they couldn't talk me out of it. I even finished the race 20mins before them! I never told my physical therapist that I ran it. She would have been pissed.
This is where this photo came from:
Fast forward to today. I still have a "little leg", but I'm working on it, doing exercises and stretches and it's gotten a lot better. I still wear a knee support especially for long runs and races. And it's not as noticeable as it was before. Most people notice only if I point it out. I wish I had a good picture of what it looked like last year. You can kinda tell from the picture above. Here is what it looks like now:
Like I said, only noticeable if pointed out now. But my calf muscle went from being 2" thinner around to about just under an inch thinner. Same goes for my thigh muscles. So with the exercises I have pumped it up but according to the PT, it will probably never be the same size as the other. Which I'm OK with. As long as it doesn't stop my from running I'm good. I still get that weird pain every now and then and thats when I know when to take it easy. I'll give myself a couple days rest.
I posted about this because I was asked about leg recently by a few people. I hope this answers some questions they had.

Epoxy Garage Flooring Avondale Estates
Epoxy Garage Flooring Avondale Estates
For Many people, and perhaps you as well, the garage has become more than a place to park your own automobile; additionally, it has become the spot where most home-owners and their guests go into the house. So why not create an inviting environment there also.
The benefits of epoxy garage flooring have instantly made it one of the top choices for garage flooring today. Whether it's residential, airplane hanger,commercial, or company, epoxy will provide your garage flooring, store, and terrace that showroom look which makes a statement. Together with the variety of combinations of color flakes that suit your style. We have something for everybody. Including you!
What makes epoxy garage flooring one of the best coatings For your garage floor? Besides looking nice, the thick and tempered program that you get from epoxy creates a coating that's quite durable and resilient to influences, chipping, chemicals, stains, and surface abrasion. You don't have to panic about damaging the floor if you drop something on it.
Epoxy Garage Flooring Avondale Estates – Epoxy coating also does a great job of covering over minor imperfections in the concrete. It is also anti-dusting. Much of the dust at a garage is created in the powder that a cement floor can shed. Normal traffic on bare concrete can kick up this dusty powder that has a tendency of collecting on cars, tool benches, and storage items, as well as being tracked into the house.
Epoxy coatings receive high reviews from the home mechanics and hobbyists as well. As it's both chemical and stain resistant, oil, brake fluids, anti-freeze, gasoline, and other caustic car chemicals can easily be consumed without worry — even when it stays for a short time. Additionally, it brightens up the garage since it can be very light reflective.
Used for both residential and commercial applications, epoxy provides your Garage or shop floor that showroom shine that says "look at me"!

Yummy ingredients you will need
One bag Oreos (you can find so many flavors)
One block of cream Cheese *softened*
One package of almond bark, wilton melts, or dipping chocolate

The Young Turks
The Largest Online News Show in the World. Hosted by Cenk Uygur & Ana Kasparian. LIVE weekdays 6-8pm ET.
Young Turk (n), 1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party. 2. Young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations. (American Heritage Dictionary)
The Young Turks were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
