Hear the term "data warehouse" and you might think of reams of lifeless data tables stacked hundreds of feet high in the dank bowels of a library.
But to independent crop consultant Maggie Jones, it is one of the most exciting tools ever invented for agriculture. "I equate it to tractors, hybrid seed or biotechnology," says Jones, who works with GeoFARM, one of nine SST Information Labs.
GeoFARM, and other "virtual storage bins" like it, have emerged in the past five years to meet growers' need for a place to store all of the spatial data collected by their combine yield monitors, variable rate controllers and Global Positioning Systems. All of their information, such as hybrids planted, seed populations, chemicals and fertilizers applied, soil types, number of tillage passes and number of machinery hours can be stored and managed in one safe and secure place.
But the part that excites Jones is not so much this basic storage function as what you can do with the data once it's in there. As these warehouses grow, and more and more data get added to the pool, farmers can benchmark their data against the data collected by other farmers in similar situations to see how their yields compare. The Internet and faster computer speeds have made such sharing possible.
"So instead of just looking at something on small test plots or looking at how some product performs on one field, you can look at millions of data points in real field conditions," Jones says. "When you are trying to sort and find answers for things, statistically you are way better off if you have larger quantities of data."
The major players. The SST Information Labs are one of four major players in the data warehousing market, according to Dr. Robert Hornbaker, associate professor of ag and consumer economics at the University of Illinois, who follows this market. The other three are Ag Central On-Line, mPower3 and VantagePoint Network. "Certainly, there are local warehousing activities going on," Hornbaker says. "But these are the ones that have survived the downsizing in this site-specific management market."
All these warehouses provide the same basic services, such as data storage, processing and benchmarking against aggregated or pooled data. However, each one is coming at it from a different angle, Hornbaker says. For example, some target farmers directly with their services, whereas others work through a farmer's local input dealer or crop consultant. Here is a look at these key players and the unique features each one offers.
VantagePoint Network is a joint venture of Deere & Company, Farmland Industries and Growmark and, like mPower3, is a national Internet-based warehouse. Launched in August 1999, it was designed to create an information network connecting the farmer, the crop consultant and any other advisors with whom the farmer elects to share his crop record-keeping information.
"The feedback we received from customers over the last couple of years is that information is just as important an asset as machinery and land and other capital assets," says Dale Johnson, director of national sales for VantagePoint. "In order for the information to be useful and turn it into knowledge, you need to share it with those trusted advisors who can help you analyze it and who can come up with smarter management decisions."
Growers can work with their advisors and suppliers to collect and store information from all of their cropping activities such as planting, tillage, input applications, machinery use, crop storage and grain tracking. A grower's individual data can then be benchmarked against other farmers' data in the warehouse.
Unlike some of the other warehouses, the system does not require that you do yield monitoring, grid soil sampling or other site-specific farming activities in order to use it because all of the fields entered in VantagePoint are automatically geo-referenced at the time of upload. "VantagePoint works equally well for producers operating on a whole-field or site-specific basis," Johnson says.
What's more, like mPower3, VantagePoint allows you to trace the crop and all inputs applied from planting to processing with a feature called Grain Tracking to prove that quality standards are being met.
Other special features include: * Public land survey system: section, township, range, aerial photo of your farms and fields; * Views of soil fertility, field boundaries and yield maps; * Drawing tool, which allows you to record on an aerial photo or map all product applications made to a particular field along with its latitude and longitude; * Profitability reports by field based on your costs and expectations of revenue from that field; * Crop storage, which tells you how much grain is in each of your bins, including what's sold; * Reference data on crop-protection products, seed, machinery (and pests by this summer); * Stock marketing information, including instant quotes; * Comprehensive weather reports (field-level weather by this spring); * Ag-related news; * Market prices and commodity quotes.
Price is $19.95/month. Contact: VantagePoint Network, Dept. FIN, 2057 Vermont Dr., Fort Collins, CO 80525, 877/843-8439.
Ag Central On-Line, owned by Soilteq, a division of Ag-Chem Equipment, is an Internet-based database made up primarily of fertilizer, chemical, soil sample and yield monitor data. Its roots date back to 1996, when ag retailers and consultants were offered the opportunity to send in their "as-applied" data they had collected using Ag-Chem's Falcon variable rate controller - an on-board computer on a chemical and fertilizer application machine. "We foresaw the need to have the capability of moving data from isolated desktop computers into a centralized location," says Alan Koehler, worldwide marketing manager for Soilteq.
The warehouse was formally launched in the summer of 1998 and is provided to farmers through their local ag retailers or crop consultants. However, this spring the company will be introducing the newest version of its SGIS desktop software that will give growers greater access to their data stored at Ag Central On-Line and even allow them to perform additional analysis on their own.
Koehler claims Ag-Chem is the only company in the industry with the technology that can report the chemical and fertilizer rates that were actually applied to a field. That information can then be correlated to a farmer's yield to determine how the rates might be changed to improve yield.
Other unique features of this warehouse include: Yield upload: allows you to store yield monitor data and retrieve it when needed to perform analysis and processing. You also can filter erroneous data recorded by the yield monitor to improve the accuracy and validity of the results.
nPK calculator: calculates the nutrient levels available in the soil by determining the nutrients removed by the crop during the growing season in conjunction with nutrients added either by fertilizer/manure application or by legume/crop credits.
Data Explorer: provides consultants with unlimited access to the data stored to see what analysis has been performed on each field, performs additional analysis and prints out reports based on the customer's parameters.
Price of the warehouse is typically rolled into the service package delivered to the grower, as opposed to a separate charge. For example, the price of variable rate application of fertilizer ranges from $6 to $12/acre, which would include the processing of as-applied data on Ag Central On-Line. Contact Soilteq, Dept. FIN, 5720 Smetana Dr., Minnetonka, MN 55343, 612/945-2390.
mPower3, owned by ConAgra and launched three years ago, got its start by offering crop imagery, weather data and crop models over the Internet. "We saw that there were things you could do with the Internet in providing some of those services that you couldn't get with a typical software package," says Scott Charbo, president of mPower3. "And we really felt that the aggregate data would be of value to many of the growers."
The database consists of crop production records from farm fields across the U.S., Canada and the U.K. Farmers enter the data themselves on their personal computers, and latitude and longitude are assigned to the data once downloaded to the Web site. Growers can then generate reports or integrate the information with other data on the Web site, including:
* 68 pest models that factor in your crop, location and practices to predict which pests may be a threat to your crop at a given point in the growing season; * Four crop models, including corn, wheat, soybeans and seed corn (rice and cotton to be added this year); * Hail alert, which identifies the probability of hail damage to a field; * Regional pest alerts, which give you views of different regions rather than field by field; * Yield and crop quality images taken by an airplane equipped with a sensor and imagery-capturing equipment. The images are processed and posted on the Web site along with their latitude and longitude. They are run at one-meter resolution, meaning every pixel represents one meter on the ground. * Soil views, which allow you to classify soil zones based on soil type, water content and organic matter. These zones can then be used to help you target soil sampling.
The information can be used to track the flow of the crop, including all inputs applied, from the time it is planted in the field to the time itis delivered to ensure that contract quality standards set by some processors are being met.
Cost of the service is $50/month. Contact mPower3, Dept. FIN, Box 1286, Greeley, CO 80632, 970/356-4400.
SST Information Labs are the only major players set up on a regional rather than a national basis through nine independently owned labs. The first was launched in June 1998 by a group of independent crop consultants.
Owner SST Development Group claims that this regional outreach provides better hand-holding at the local level and improved data accuracy. The independent crop consultants or crop advisors work with farmers to enter in their production information, such as inputs applied, seed planted, soil characteristics and yield, and, similar to Ag Central On-Line, the crop advisor, not the farmer, manages the data.
Using their knowledge of the producers' geographic regions and agronomic conditions, the consultants can aggregate the data across that region to see, for example, how a certain hybrid performed on a specific soil type where climate, agronomic practices and topography are similar, says Dana Waits of SST Development Group. "This information gives producers an advantage when planning seed purchases the following planting season," she says.
Each lab offers specialized software, staff and training programs designed to process and analyze site-specific data. Two such analytic software tools are:
Yield analysis: allows users to look for relationships in pooled data between yield and any two variables, such as hybrid and soil type, to determine which hybrid performs best on one producer's field given certain conditions.
Multiyear yield analysis: calculates the variability in a field's yield over time and space. Two or more years of yield data for a field, regardless of crop planted, can be analyzed to determine, for example, which areas of the field performed above or below average over the years analyzed.
The cost varies by lab. For example, one lab charges $3.50 to $5.50/acre for a laundry list of analytic services. To find the names of the consultants who belong to the lab nearest you, contact SST Development Group Inc., Dept. FIN, 824 Country Club Rd., Stillwater, OK 74075-0918, 405/377-5334.
Should you sign on? University of Illinois' Hornbaker says farmers who are deciding whether to sign on with one of these warehouses have to consider what value they expect to get from it, part of which may be a savings in their time, and what will be the return on investment compared with what the return might be with other options.
"We now have a system that is going to be more robust than a personal computer," Hornbaker says. "Is it going to save them from having to hire someone to do the same thing within their firm or hiring a local consultant to manage their data for them? So they need to look at that trade-off and think about, Is it worth that per-acre, per-month fee to have this done by someone else?"
He expects that the majority of farmers will not want to manage their own data. "Those who don't think it is their area of management expertise will probably find they will be better off to pay someone to do it so they can spend more of their time managing the marketing, production or other areas they enjoy or have relatively more expertise in doing."
After you decide that, choosing which warehouse to use will depend on where you think you will get the most value from your data or what part of the data analysis/storage function you do not feel comfortable enough to handle.
All four of these major warehouses will be around for a while, Hornbaker believes. And he doesn't expect many new players to emerge. "I wouldn't expect to see a doubling or tripling in the number of these available," he says. "There are only so many players who can be in the business and have a product that is going to work well and make money at a low cost for the producer."
The data warehouse experts we surveyed advise that you ask these questions when shopping for a data warehouse to ensure you get the best buy:
What does your database consist of? Make sure the data being stored and services offered have value to your operation.
What will I actually get from the database? Will I get reports, the actual data or just a picture of the data?
How do you ensure the accuracy or quality of the data being entered? As a litmus test, follow up with, Are local consultants available to help with data entry in the field? How do you handle yield monitor data from different yield monitor companies? What process is used for cleaning the data? Look for a detailed response to these questions. If the company doesn't give one, it could be a red flag.
Are the interpretations of the data statistically valid? To find out, ask if the company has the tools to do statistical analysis.
When you refer to an item within the database, is it always referenced and entered in the same way? Such standardization is important to ensure the value of your data. Otherwise, it cannot be sorted correctly. Make sure a common data dictionary is used for data entry.
In what format do you store the data? Is it compatible with the system I am using?
Do I have the option of removing or transferring the data to another system?
Is the warehouse available in my area?
How much does it cost? Compare that price to the value and cost- or time-savings you hope to get out of the system.
If you grow grain under contract ask, Can your warehouse trace the crop and the inputs applied to satisfy the quality requirements of my contractor?
Who owns the data? Most of the warehouses say the person supplying the data owns that data. Where policies differ is when the data are in their aggregated form. Ask for written terms outlining ownership of the data, and make sure you fully understand those terms before agreeing with them. As a litmus test, ask, Who will profit from the sale, if any, of the aggregated data?
Are my personal data confidential? All four major warehouses we interviewed said an individual farmer's data can only be viewed by the person supplying the information. Again, where policies differ is when the data are in their aggregated form. Ask for written terms outlining both scenarios before agreeing.
What kind of backup system do you use to ensure there is a copy of the original data as well as the processed data? This is important because software versions change every few years and the original data may need to be reprocessed to work with the upgraded versions.
What kind of Internet connection and transfer speeds do you offer? The information needs to be moved fast enough to make it useful to you as a manager. To ensure the speed you need, ask for a demo version or a trial period before signing on.
Do I have the capability to transfer the data back and forth between me and my trusted advisors?
Do you offer unlimited storage?

The famous men of fake news couldn't resist jumping on the meme-turned-viral-video craze and busting a move—that is, without a dose of satire, of course.
The Daily Show crew was first, dropping their moves during the "Moment of Zen," to a rather surprising (and lonely) result.

Against the backdrop of history, we have the story of a small-town mailman whose son is one of the U.S. casualties during the Occupation of Iraq. We see his almost inevitable realization of the cruel, deceptive and cynical context within which many sons and daughters continue to sacrifice their lives.
Mike Palecek's latest book The Truth is a vital book on a vital subject. Democracy (of any definition) is threatened in the United States more than any time in her history. It is threatened not only by the erosive events enacted by the Bush Administration (and the events are many, both in domestic and foreign affairs), but also by the inertia in response, or non-response, by a truly frightening number of the American public.
The book is organized with even-numbered pages carrying quotes of significance to the point of the lockdown of America (from Goebbels, from Goering, from Ari Fleischer – but also the wonderful and inspiring words of such human beings as St. Augustine, as Thomas Jefferson, as well as writers and thinkers and journalists ranging from Helen Thomas to William Shakespeare..) and the odd-numbered pages relate the story of Pete Penny. Either the quotes alone or the story would be fully satisfying, but together they serve in creating an acute tension of the individual life in historical context. This same tension is further played out in the very, very funny sections that run throughout an otherwise almost Kafkaesque unraveling of the life of one man. The extremely comic attend the tragic of both the story and history's narrative, just as the ludicrousness of an absurd President underline the daily horror. The horror of the Administration's avarice and lies in a bloodshed which shows no signs of abating; the mockery and indifference to much that the American people have valued; the ravaging of any American dream.
It is without hesitation that I urge everyone to read this book. For those who are lost in the chaotic events of our times, it is illuminating and for those who are familiar with the aspects that Mike describes, his lucidity and fine perceptions further organize our thinking.
(I found out the truth, man, but it's better to stay stupid, go to ball games, smoke cigarettes and fish from the shore. Figuring it out is not the hard part. It's what are you gonna do, now, man? That's when it gets tough. What you gonna do now?)

"An Unshakable Foundation," Friend, May 2013, 2–3
From the First Presidency
An Unshakable Foundation
From an April 2012 general conference address.
My purpose today is to describe how we can lay an unshakable foundation of faith.
As a young man I worked with a contractor building foundations for new houses. In the summer heat it was hard work to prepare the ground for the form into which we poured the cement. There were no machines. We used a pick and a shovel. Building lasting foundations for buildings was hard work in those days.
In a similar way, the ground must be carefully prepared for our foundation of faith to withstand the storms that will come into every life. That solid basis for a foundation of faith is personal integrity.
Choosing the right consistently whenever the choice is placed before us creates the solid ground under our faith. It can begin in childhood since every soul is born with the free gift of the Spirit of Christ. With that Spirit we can know when we have done what is right before God and when we have done wrong in His sight.
Those choices, hundreds in most days, prepare the solid ground on which our edifice of faith is built. The metal framework is the gospel of Jesus Christ, with all its covenants, ordinances, and principles.
If we have faith in Jesus Christ, the hardest as well as the easiest times in life can be a blessing. In all conditions, we can choose the right with the guidance of the Spirit.

Well I'm at it again. I am such a food lover but hate to cook just for myself. So as we all try to add more chicken to our diet here is a classic good ole fashioned Chicken & Dumplin recipe.
Now I say there is nothing wrong with cheating a little due to our busy schedule so this recipe has us using FROZEN dumplin's that were quite tasty and my family loved. Oh problem was, I didn't add enough to suite the picky eater as she loves the dumplin's more than the chicken.
But I am so proud this turned out awesome and I am ready for it again.
Happy Cookin'

Hinduism in South America
Hindu communities are found in several countries of South America, but they are strongest in Guyana and Suriname. There are about 550,000 Hindus in South America, chiefly the descendants of Indian indentured labourers in the Guianas. There are about 270,000 Hindus in Guyana, 150,000 in Suriname, and some others in French Guiana. In Guyana, Hindus form 35% of the population.
Part of a series on
Hinduism in Argentina
Argentina has 2,030 persons of Indian origin (PIOs) and 1,300 non-resident Indians (NRIs). Some of them still refer to ayurveda, practice yoga, enjoy Indian classical music and speak the Hindi language.
They have established an Indian Association in the northern provinces and organise social and cultural events to celebrate Indian festivals. Unfortunately, there is little interaction between them and those who have settled down in other parts of the extensive country.
A large number of the Indian diaspora living in Buenos Aires are businessmen, doctors, financial or business executives, and employees of multinational corporations. Most of them have retained their Indian citizenship.
Many Hindus are Indo-Caribbeans from Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Suriname.
Hinduism in Brazil
Most of the Brazilian Hindus are ethnic East Indians.
There are 1,500 PIOs and about 400 NRIs in Brazil.
- First wave of Immigration
A small number of Sindhis that arrived from Suriname and Central America in 1960 to set up shop as traders in the city of Manaus is considered to be the first wave of immigration. The second wave consisted of university professors who arrived in the 1960s and also in the 1970s.
Other PIOs migrated to this country from various African countries, mainly from former Portuguese colonies (especially Mozambique), soon after their independence in the 1970s. The number of PIOs in Brazil has been augmented in recent years by the arrival of nuclear scientists and computer professionals.
There are as many as 1,500 PIOs among the Indian community in Brazil, and only 400 NRIs, since foreign nationals can acquire local citizenship without any discrimination after 15 years of domicile in this country. Brazil has also no bar against dual citizenship. But in recent years, it has been granting immigration visas only in high technology fields. The only exceptions are the Sindhis in Manaus (who have formed an Indian Association with about a hundred members) and the Goans in São Paulo.
Hinduism in Chile
A few Indians had gone to Chile in the 1920s. The others migrated there about 30 years ago — not only from India, but also from Hong Kong, Indonesia, Nigeria, Panama, the Philippines and Singapore.
The total number of PIOs today does not exceed 650 persons in a country of almost 16 million people.
Belonging mostly to the Sindhi community, they are usually engaged in trade and are reasonably prosperous.
Many of them have married Chilean women and acquired Chilean nationality, and yet they have largely remained out of the Chilean mainstream. Some members of the younger generation, being Chilean citizens by birth, have however ventured into professions.
A Hindu Temple exists in Punta Arenas.
Besides Punta Arenas, the Indian business community is also present in Santiago, the capital of Chile, and Iquique. The activities of businessmen in Santiago are mainly confined to imports and retail stores.
Hinduism in Colombia
Hinduism in Colombia was mainly introduced with the arrival of Indians. There are ISKCON (The Hare-Krishnas) centers in the capital, Bogota.[1]
Hinduism in French Guiana
Most of the Hindus in French Guiana are of Surinamese origin. According to the 2000 census 1.6% of the total population (3,200 out of 202,000) were Hindu.
Hinduism in Guyana
About 84% of the East Indian immigrants were Hindus, and their dominant sect was the Vaishnavite Hinduism of Bihar and other places in North India. Some 30 percent of the East Indians were from agricultural castes and 31 percent were labourers. Brahmins, the highest caste, constituted 14 percent of the East Indian immigrants. Vaishnavite Hinduism remains the predominant religion of the Indo-Guyanese. During the indenture period, the East Indian caste system broke down. Hinduism was redefined, and caste-distinguishing practices were eliminated. Christian missionaries attempted to convert East Indians during the indenture period, beginning in 1852, but met with little success. The missionaries blamed the Brahmins for their failure: the Brahmins began administering spiritual rites to all Hindus regardless of caste once the Christian missionaries started proselytizing in the villages, hastening the breakdown of the caste system. After the 1930s, Hindu conversions to Christianity slowed because the status of Hinduism improved and the discrimination against Hindus diminished.
In areas where there are large percentage of Indo Guyanese residing together — Mandirs of various sizes can be found, according to the population. All main Hindu occasions are observed — Basant Panchami in January to Gita Jayanti in December.
Since the late 1940s, reform movements caught the attention of many Guyanese Hindus. The most important, the Arya Samaj movement, arrived in Guyana in 1910. Arya Samaj doctrine rejects the idea of caste and the exclusive role of Brahmins as religious leaders. The movement preaches monotheism and opposition to the use of images in worship as well as many traditional Hindu rituals. Currently the number of Guyanese Hindus is steeply declining because of emigration and conversion to other religions. Approximately between 216,000 and 230,000 identified themselves as Hindus in the 2002 census.
Hinduism in Paraguay
In the 2002 census, it was estimated that about 551 Hindus live in Paraguay. They make up 0.01% of Paraguay's population. Paraguay's ambassador to India, Mr Pappalardo, gave Punjab farmers a high opportunity to invest the country.[2] Most of the Hindus live in Asunción.
Hinduism in Peru
The first 'Indian Indians' to have arrived in Peru were businessmen who had gone there in the early 1960s. Later on, the community grew in number marginally until the early 80s, after which many of its members left due to the severe local economic crises and the prevailing terrorism. Those with relatives in other Latin countries joined them.
In the recent past, the size of the community has remained stable. There is a small remnant of the original 'native Indians' in this country who still maintain their traditional culture and religious beliefs.
Most members of the local Indian community are Sindhis. They are reasonably well-off, but very few can be regarded as prosperous. Their general level of education is low. Most of them speak only their mother tongue and Spanish, with a smattering of English.
There is also here a small number of professionals from other parts of India. Residence permits are not difficult to obtain in Peru. But citizenship is more complicated and only a small number of Indians have obtained it – not more than 10 out of a total number of almost forty persons. While a few cultural activities are organized by the more enterprising PIOs, in general they maintain a low profile. Considering the vast distance that separates the community from India, its interest in its country of origin is limited to major events, mainly derived from occasional browsing on the internet. But being invariably first generation migrants, many of them do occasionally visit India.
Hinduism in Suriname
The story of Hinduism in Suriname is broadly parallel to that in Guyana. Indian indentured labourers were sent to colonial Dutch Guiana by special arrangement between the Dutch and British. Hindus today comprise some 30-35% of the Surinamese population, or about 150,000 people. The difference is that the Netherlands' more liberal policy toward Hinduism allowed the culture to develop stronger. Examples are the lack of a rigid caste system and the almost universal reading of Gita and Ramayan.[3] Hinduism in Suriname is basically a snapshot back in time of the late 1800s of how Hinduism was practiced in India (Bihar and Bengal mainly). Currently due to Indian television and radio programs being broadcast, many new influences have started to creep into their practices.
Hinduism in Uruguay
There are a few Yoga organizations in Uruguay, which spread Indian thought and philosophy-prominent among them are, Sivapremananda Ashram of the Divine Society. A portion of the beach in Montevideo has been named after Mahatma Gandhi and a bust of Gandhiji installed in one of the parks along the beach. There is a school named after him in Montevideo, a street and another school named after Republic of India.[4] There is a small Indian community in Uruguay consisting of 300 members approx.
Hinduism in Venezuela
During the oil-related high-income years of the 1970s, there were around 400 NRIs in this country. There are also several thousand of Indian origin persons from Trinidad, Suriname and Guyana in the cities of Ciudad Guayana and Caracas.
The Indian community consisted of personnel from the petroleum and petrochemical sectors, as well as a large number of traders. Many of them had taken their families with them to Venezuela, whether from India or elsewhere. Most of the traders belonged to the Sindhi community but there were also some persons from Gujarat, Punjab and the southern Indian States.
When the oil boom ended in 1982, followed by devaluation of the local currency, many of the NRIs decided to seek their fortunes elsewhere. Currently, the Diaspora has been whittled down to half its former size. There are now only about 45 Indian families in Venezuela who are mainly engaged in retail trade. There are also a small number of experts in high tech. industries such as telecommunications.
All of them have adapted themselves very well to their country of residence and are generally held in high regard by the local people on account of their hard work, expertise and non-political nature.
The Venezuelan Constitution guarantees equal rights without discrimination to all expatriate personnel. This has facilitated the Indian community's life.
Another interesting feature is that many local persons are interested in Indian religions and spirituality.
Some members of the Indian community also attend their functions. Most of the NRIs are well educated. However, given their small numbers, they have not formed themselves into an active representative body. But they remain in touch with one another and with the Indian Embassy in Caracas. Even though they have little time to engage in numerous cultural activities, they do get together to celebrate Indian festivals like Diwali.
On the whole, the Indian community in Venezuela is quite prosperous and has a per capita income that is above the national average that is itself as high as US$8,300 in terms of PPP. They take an active part in mobilising donations to help in alleviating distress at times of national calamities in India.

Data from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer has revealed that more "little stars" (many the same size as ours) are out there whose existence had been masked by the light of massive, brighter stars. So in some regions there are four times more stars than astronomers had previously estimated.
According to the Bible, God made the stars on the fourth day of creation. But even more remarkable is the fact that He is creating them still, though the latter miracle is considered not worth mentioning by any of the Bible's authors.
The order of creation in Genesis 1 is farcical from a modern astronomical viewpoint. Our earth is a child of the sun. The offspring could not have existed before the parent.
The sun, moon, and stars were "made and set" in heaven "to give light upon the earth?"
When the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras dared to suggest that the sun was as large as the southern part of Greece he startled his Greek contemporaries. What must have been the notions of a grossly unscientific people like the Jews? For them it was easy to regard the sun, moon, and "the stars also," as mere satellites of the earth, as lanterns for the human race.
George William Foote, "The Creation Story," Bible Romances
Gimme That Earth-Centered Creation, It's Good Enough For Me
Genesis 1:3-5 describes the first act of creation:
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
At this point in the biblical creation process, not only has the sun not yet been "made and set in the firmament," but the earth is also still "without form." In other words the Bible depicts the establishment of "Days" (days-nights-evenings-mornings) before anything else, which is about as earth-centered a creation story as one can possibly conceive, and about as far as one can leap in the direction of ancient thought as opposed to modern scientific conceptions of the cosmos.
Daytimes or weekly times (i.e., approximately one quarter of the lunar cycle) experienced by earth dwellers would naturally appear central to them, such as the earth-dwellers who composed the Genesis 1 "creation story." But think of how geocentric the beginning of such a story is, with all of creation revolving right from the beginning around the earth's time schedule. Perhaps creationists do not realize the story fits ancient views of cosmology (with the earth as creation's foundation and heaven above) far better than modern Copernican ones. A day, night, evening or morning, or even numbered days of the week on earth are not of any central cosmic significance since we know the earth is not the foundation of all creation. All creation does not revolve around "earth days." The earth is merely one of nine planets (with many more planets circling distant stars) whose "days" (as they spin on their axis around their respective stars) vary considerably in length.
Yet Genesis and Exodus agree in depicting these as literal days and nights as understood in earth terms:
"God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation." (Genesis 2:3)
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God…For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and sanctified it." (Exodus 20:8-11)
The point of dividing the creation process into days, a feature that could easily be omitted without affecting the sense of the story, is to reinforce sabbath observance. These "days of creation" were therefore accepted as normal days of the week by the ancient Hebrews, and illustrate another way in which they viewed the earth as the flat firm base of all creation.
Speaking of God "resting," the priestly author of Exodus 31:17 may have elaborated a bit too much on the meaning of the Sabbath when he wrote, "In six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested AND WAS REFREHSED." "Rested and was refreshed?" This passage adds that after God had ceased from His labor of creating everything His soul-life [or breath/nephesh] was replenished, refreshed (cf., Mark S. Smith, The Priestly Vision of Genesis 1, Fortress Press: 2009, p. 97), or, as translators of a Bible published in 1774, put it, "on the seventh day God rested and fetched breath."
An Even Greater Miracle Is How God Took Immeasurable Pains To _Not_ Light The Earth With The Rest Of The Cosmos
If the sun, moon, and stars were created "to light the earth," then why create over a hundred billion galaxies whose light is invisible to the naked eye? (Out of billions of galaxies only two relatively close ones galaxies can be seen with the unaided eye, and they appear no brighter than two dim stars in our sky.) In other words, over a hundred billion galaxies produce light that can only be seen with our most powerful telescopes, and it took telescopes recently mounted in space to detect 99/100ths of those galaxies. And our galaxy is composed of about a billion stars, some of which are far larger than our sun. Therefore, the creation story in Genesis would be even more believable if it told us how much trouble God went through to "NOT light the earth" with the rest of creation.
Astronomers are even hypothesizing that the cosmos may contain "dark" matter and "dark" energy, so much of the stuff in fact, that most of the cosmos might still be invisible to us even with our satellite telescopes surveying it to a depth of thirteen-billion light-years in every direction. Again, that's a lot of work to do to "NOT light" the earth.
An Even Greater Miracle Is How Many _More_ Lamps Rule The Nights And Provide For Signs And Season On Other Planets
Genesis 1:16 depicts the sun and moon as "two great lamps" [literal Hebrew translation]. Those "great lamps" were made to "light" the earth, to "rule" the earth's days and nights, and, "for signs and seasons" on earth. But a couple thousand years after the Bible was written, astronomers discovered a curious thing about that "great lamp" the moon. They discovered that Mars has two moons. Yet Mars has no people who need their steps "lit" at night, or who need to know the "signs and seasons." Even more curiously, it was discovered that Neptune has four moons, Uranus has eleven, Jupiter has sixteen, and Saturn has eighteen moons (one of them, Titan, is even larger than the planet Mercury). The earth was created with just one moon, and it "rules the night" so badly that for three nights out of every twenty-eight it abdicates its rule and doesn't light the earth at all—at which time creationists bump into each other in the dark.
Galactic Habitable Zones In The Cosmos
What fraction of stars in our Galaxy might play host to planets that can support multi-cellular life? Lineweaver and others have calculated the probable extent of hospitable space for complex life in the Galaxy, called the "Galactic habitable zone." The criteria include distance from deadly supernovae, enough heavy elements to form terrestrial planets, and enough time for life to evolve. Based on these criteria, the Galactic habitable zone is an annular region between 7 to 9 kiloparsecs from the Galactic center and contains about 10% of the Milky Way stars with ages between 4 to 8 billion years old. [The Milky Way, like most of the 100 billion other galaxies in the cosmos, contains roughly a billion stars.]
- Science, Vol. 303, Jan. 2, 2004 www.sciencemag.org
Keeping in mind the above "odds," there may be plenty of possible planets on which life might exist. But what does that imply about the Bible's understanding of the cosmos when interpreted literally as in Genesis and the New Testament? See the following quotations to understand the questions raised by the notion of "[intelligent] life elsewhere in the galaxy."
"A New Heaven?" Even For People Living In Distant Galaxies?
According to the book of Revelation a "new earth" and a "new heaven" will be created after Jesus returns. Occupants of other planets throughout the hundred billion galaxies of our present "heaven" will no doubt be surprised to receive such an unearned favor, all because of what happens on our little world. Or is this simply another example of how the Hebrews viewed the earth as the flat firm foundation of creation with the heavens above created simply for the earth below?
Though it is not a direct article of the Christian faith that the planet we inhabit is the only inhabited one in the cosmos, yet it is so worked up from what is called the Mosaic account of creation, the story of Eve and the forbidden fruit, and the counterpart of that story, the death of the Son of God—that to believe otherwise renders the Christian system of faith at once little and ridiculous, and scatters it in the mind like feathers in the air.
Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
So long as people believed, as St. Paul himself did, in one week of creation and a past of 4,000 years—so long as people thought the stars were satellites of the earth and that animals were there to serve man—there was no difficulty in believing that a single man could have ruined everything, and that another man had saved everything.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, "Fall, Redemption, and Geocentrism,"Christianity and Evolution
Did Jesus die uniquely to save the sins of human beings on planet Earth, or is he being strung up somewhere in the universe on every Friday?
Michael Ruse, "Booknotes," Biology & Philosophy, Vol. 14, No. 1, Jan. 1999
The New Jerusalem
The last book of the Bible mentions a fabulous city called the "New Jerusalem":
"And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth… twelve thousand furlongs [about 1500 miles according to most commentaries]. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal."
- Revelation 21:16
In other words the New Jerusalem is a gigantic cube and it is depicted as descending out of heaven above and landing on the earth below. The author who wrote about the city may have made it of such gargantuan proportions so that the length of just one of its sides was equal to the distance from Jerusalem to the capital and heart of the Roman Empire. Perhaps the author had in mind that God meant to flatten Rome just as Rome had flattened God's holy temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D.?
However the author of Revelation does not seem to have paused to consider that a cube that was 1500 miles on all sides would simply see-saw on the earth's curved surface, since the earth is not flat, but a sphere. Even if it didn't see-saw and settled onto the surface of the earth gently, such a massive object would probably make the earth's crust buckle or crack beneath it and initiate earthquakes and eruptions; or cause the rotating earth to wobble (just try gluing a small cafeteria-sized carton of milk to a large bowling ball and spin the bowling ball to see what I mean) How could a cube that was 1,500 miles on each side maintain its cubic shape since much smaller objects in space that are merely 400 miles in diameter collapse into spherical shapes due to the force of their own gravity? And, what would prevent the city, after it landed, from growing as wide and flat as any mountain range due to its mutual attraction with the earth's own gravity?
This "New Jerusalem" is so depicted as being so tall that it would extend 1,300 miles further out into space than the International Space Station that is situated only about 200 miles above the earth. In fact the New Jerusalem would block jet streams in the upper atmosphere, and be pummeled by natural and man-made objects orbiting the earth, as well as its topmost floors being hit by solar winds and radiation. If you happen to live on any floor higher than merely the first 100 miles above sea level, I wouldn't suggest opening your windows without first donning a space suit.
The author of the book of Revelation also depicted the "twelve gates" of the New Jerusalem as "twelve pearls; every gate is of one pearl." (Rev. 21:21) Hence the slang expression for heaven, "The pearly gates." (I'd pay money to see the oyster that popped those babies out.)
Of course some Evangelical Christian creationist apologists like Grant R. Jeffrey assume that the description of "The New Jerusalem" must be true without a doubt because "what reason would God have for describing such details so precisely unless they were true?" [Apocalypse: The Coming Judgment of the Nations—Bantam Books, Toronto, 1994), p.351] But then, who ever said "God" was the one describing such details? And who ever said that human writers didn't have imaginations capable of adding details to a story? Maybe the author of the book of Revelation assumed like most people of his day that the earth was flat [see NOTE], so a cube-shaped object would sit securely and squarely on it? He probably also made the New Jerusalem a cube because that's how the holy of holies of Solomon's temple was shaped. The author of Revelation, probably had no idea that the enormity and shape of such a city might raise questions in the minds of "latter day" readers, especially since he probably assumed that the heavenly abode of God and angels existed not very far overhead, instead of that region being filled with orbiting bits of matter, solar radiation, and the vacuum of space?
Finally, maybe Grant R. Jeffrey should cease making a career out of trying to anaesthetize the frontal lobes of people's brains, and embark on an expedition to find that oyster that pops out pearls as big as city gates? And he had better hurry and find that whale-sized oyster before King Kong enjoys it as an appetizer. (But where is Kong going to find a lemon large enough to squeeze on it?)
[NOTE] The author of the book of Revelation wrote completely in accord with a flat earth view of the cosmos: "I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth" (Rev. 7:1); and added elsewhere, "There was a great earthquake…and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind." (Rev. 6:12,13). "Stars of heaven falling to earth" after the earth below has been "shaken," mirrors the way that the sun, moon, and the stars are portrayed in the creation story in Genesis, being "made" and "fixed" above the earth. And just as those stars were "fixed" there, they might one day "fall to earth" like "figs" from a tree after the earth below had experienced "a great earthquake," because to the ancient Hebrews the whole of creation consisted of a cosmos whose two halves were the earth below and the heavens above.
Are There Creationists On Other Planets?
Do they quote from a book somewhat like our earth-centered book of Genesis? And, supposing that the name of their planet is "Zontar," does their book read something like this…
In the beginning God created the heavens and ZONTAR, and the spirit of God moved on the face of the waters OF ZONTAR and God said let there be light, and there was the first evening and morning [on ZONTAR]. And God separated the waters and caused dry land to appear, and he called the dry land ZONTAR, and there was a second evening and morning [on ZONTAR]… And God made TWO GREAT LIGHTS, one to rule the day ON ZONTAR, and one to rule the night ON ZONTAR, and he made the stars also, and set them in the sky to light ZONTAR and for signs and seasons [on ZONTAR], and there was a fourth evening and morning. And God made animals ON ZONTAR, and there was a fifth evening and morning. And God made beings IN HIS OWN IMAGE, and he visited them in the garden where He and they left slimy trials as they moved and talked to each other via their antennae, and there was a sixth evening and morning. And on the seventh day God "rested" from creating the heavens and ZONTAR.
Of course, we earthlings, being raised on our Bible, would know that God needed to "rest" after creating ZONTAR, so He could regain enough energy to trek to another part of the cosmos (near one of those stars he'd created "to light ZONTAR") and create a place called "earth."
What Do Evangelical Christian Professors Of Old Testament Think About Genesis 1?
Several Evangelical Christian professors have recently argued that their fellow Evangelicals ought to relinquish "scientific creationist" interpretations of Genesis 1, and that the creation story in Genesis 1 ought to be interpreted in a mythical/spiritual/analogical or metaphorical fashion. Such figures include:
John Walton, Old Testament professor at Wheaton College (author of The Lost World of Genesis 1: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate) The blog, Jesus Creed, has devoted separate blog entries to examining all 18 propositions in Walton's book, beginning here.
Peter Enns, Old Testament professor at Westminster Theological Seminary (author of Inspiration and Incarnation: Evangelicals and the Problem of the Old Testament)
Kent Sparks (author of God's Word in Human Words: An Evangelical Appropriation of Critical Biblical Scholarship)
Not to mention statements by popular bibliobloggers including:
R. Christopher Heard, Old Testament professor at Pepperdine University and lifelong member of Churches of Christ (author of the succinct post, "Why I Am Not A Creationist")
Chris Tilling, post-grad N.T. theology student (author of the post, "From Creationist to Evolutionist - my story")
Quotation From John Walton's New Work
The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate
The Israelites received no revelation to update or modify their "scientific" understanding of the cosmos. They did not know that stars were suns; they did not know that the earth was spherical and moving through space; they did not know that the sun was much further away than the moon, or even further than the clouds or high flying birds [able to "fly across the face of the firmament" per Gen. 1]. They believed that the sky was material (not vaporous), solid enough to support the residence of the deity as well as hold back waters. In these ways, and many others, they thought about the cosmos in much the same way that anyone in the ancient world thought, and not at all like anyone thinks today. And God did not think it important to revise their thinking.
Creation And The Psalmists
Ancient Hebrew psalmists drew a parallel between the height of the "clouds" and the wondrous height of their Lord's "truth": "For Thy loving kindness is great to the heavens, and Thy truth to the clouds." (Psalm 57:10). The height of clouds appeared so near to the holy heavens that they excitedly strung such phrases together to praise God in a way we do not react to today in the same way because we are able to fly above the clouds and also know how high "the heavens" can be, in light-years, making the height of clouds seem not comparable at all.
A psalmist wrote, "As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us." (Psalm 103:12) Yet today we know we can walk from east to west and wind up right back where we started.
A psalmist asked, "[Can] the heavens above be measured?" (Jeremiah 31:37) Yes, it's someone's job to measure such things—from meteorologists noting the heights of certain clouds, to astronomers measuring distances to the sun and moon, even distances to the furthest galaxies.
A psalmist wrote, "The heavens are the heavens of the Lord; But the earth He has given to the sons of men" (Ps. 115:16) One of NASA's satellites passed Pluto several years ago, not to mention telescopes peering into "the heavens of the Lord." We have even launched spacecraft named after pagan gods (Mercury, Gemini and Apollo) when the Bible forbids mentioning even the names of "other gods" (Exodus 23:13).
A psalmist wrote, "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou are mindful of him? (Psalm 8:3-4) The "heavens" referred to the clouds, and to the sun, moon and stars that the psalmist believed did not lie far above the clouds, along with the angelic heavenly realm lying not far above the sun, moon and stars. Any similarities between such ancient verse and modern day cosmic angst are merely relative. Even the clouds felt intangibly high to the ancients, but then, none of them could even guess what lay beyond the horizon. In fact it may be that their cosmos felt more intangibly huge to them than our cosmos does to us because we can fly round the globe, above the clouds, gaze at photos of outer space, and open a book and read the distances to stars and galaxies set down for us in tangible numerical form.
"Those little heaven-encrusted universes of the Egyptians, Mesopotamians and Hebrews seem quaint enough to us, who have formed, thought by thought from within, the immense modern Cosmos in which we live—planned in such immeasurable proportions, and moved by so pitiless a mechanism… Yet what a splendor dazzles us in these great halls! Anything less limitless would now be a prison." (Logan Pearsall Smith).Labels:creationism, Edward T. Babinski Carnival, Genesis 1

Lakewood High School baseball player J.P. Keefe's home run provided a quick and decisive end to the Division II state final on June 4, 2005.
Lakewood High School baseball player J.P. Keefe's home run provided a quick and decisive end to the Division II state final on June 4, 2005.
Leading off the bottom of the seventh inning, the senior first baseman hit the first pitch from Hamilton Badin's Jerry Young over the fence in left-center field in Cooper Stadium to give the Lancers a 2-1 victory and the No. 3 Most Dramatic State Tournament Event of the ThisWeek era.
"I remember he hit a curveball," longtime coach Don Thorp said recently. "It had been his personal preference not to swing at a first-pitch curveball during his career. But I always told him, 'If it's a hanging curveball that means it's a mistake pitch so don't let it get away.' I guess he listened."
As Keefe settled into the batter's box, Badin pitcher Kyle Pfirrman was warming up in the bullpen. The 6-foot-2 Pfirrman, who later signed with the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, had been masterful when the Rams defeated Parma Padua 1-0 in a state semifinal two days earlier, striking out 11 in a four-hitter.
"It was my speculation that if J.P. had gotten on base they would have brought him in (to pitch to designated hitter Chase Hostasa)," Thorp said. "As things turned out, well, they didn't get that opportunity."
Afterward, Keefe said perhaps the most surprising element of his clutch hit was the reaction of the normally stoic Thorp, who with the win tied the state record for most coaching victories.
"He was standing on the grass there (in the third-base coach's box) dancing," Keefe said.
Despite the dramatic ending, the game mostly had been a pitcher's duel. Andrew Ford went the distance for the Lancers and routinely escaped trouble, scattering six hits and stranding seven runners. He recorded 10 outs on groundballs. Young had allowed just four hits through six innings with nine groundball outs.
Badin took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third, but Keefe drove in Lakewood's first run with a sacrifice fly that scored Chris Hoffer in the fourth.
Keefe also played a key role on defense. Badin tried to put together a two-out rally in the top of the seventh, putting a couple of runners on base when Dan Hurst doubled to left and Drew Maus was intentionally walked. Drew Wurzelbacher then hit a ball to Keefe at first base that took a bad hop. Keefe knocked the ball down with his bare hand, scooped it up and beat Wurzelbacher to the base.
"It was all reaction," Keefe said. "I was just trying to keep it in the infield so they couldn't get the run in."
That set the stage for Keefe's shining moment. His home run cleared the fence just above the 385-foot sign, and he said he saw the left fielder's head drop while rounding first base.
"I was just trying to get a base hit and get the inning going," Keefe said. "I ended up getting a little bit more."
The Lancers finished 32-2 overall and won the MSL-Ohio Division title that spring at 13-1. They won a third state championship, although it was their first since taking consecutive titles in 1993-94.
Badin also was aiming for its third state title, which would have been its first since 1996, and remains stuck on two even though it has advanced to the state tournament four times since Keefe's homer. The Rams also lost in the state final in 2008 and 2009.
Many of Lakewood's players also were on the 2004 team that had been ranked first in the final state poll and was 31-0 before losing 6-3 to Steubenville in a regional final. The Lancers also finished first in the state poll in 2005.
"The very nature of baseball is that a very, very good team can lose on any given day and on any given pitch. The best team loses somewhere every day," Thorp said. "We won that year not only for that particular group of players but also for some of our other teams that didn't make it there."
Aside from providing great theater, Keefe's home run enabled Thorp to tie Timothy Engleka, who won 760 games at Centerville from 1964-2002, as Ohio's all-time winningest coach. Thorp broke the record in Lakewood's opener the following year.
He had 867 wins through 2012, which was his 40th season with the Lancers. In 2010, they made their eighth appearance in the state tournament under Thorp. Mike Cameron, whose teams won state titles in four decades, also surpassed Engleka's mark and now ranks second after winning 768 games at Cincinnati Moeller from 1969-2007.
"I still enjoy it, and I suppose I'll stay as long as that's the way I feel," the 68-year-old Thorp said. "I don't know what else I'd do with my time."
The 6-3 Keefe, who also starred in basketball at Lakewood, went on to play baseball at Rio Grande.
"It was as emotional a moment as I've had doing this. I even remember jumping up and down a little bit," Thorp said, recalling the scene following Keefe's homer. "You don't win many games that way -- let alone a state championship."

We offer each student, regardless of ability, the opportunity to experience growth, accomplishment, and success at his or her skill level. In our Middle School program, all athletes can participate, work toward improving skills, and learn about leadership. In the Upper School, we encourage participation with a no-cut policy. Students can build their skills at the JV and JV2 level; at the more competitive varsity level, we strive for victory in league play with an emphasis on the post-season. At all levels, we aim for each athlete reaching his or her maximum potential in every area of the student–athlete experience.
The strength of our athletics program is in its number of participants, focus on skills and team building, and excellent coaching staff. I invite you to explore the athletics section of the website and come out to play! Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
Sandy Luu
Director of Athletics

There is also an that shows you the longest videos and the same that sorts the videos gone away from according to the views they on the agenda c , so create unshakeable to limitation of the those as well.

Any reflective pornoholic has certainly at least heard of the tube mark known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm meeting to wager, family fapped to it on more than bodily occasion. profit some of you, it power rhythmical be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the agent , you are certainly not alone. In skit , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster tempo broad to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Nave , it is the third most lyric coarse consider on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 previous to Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the precincts wanted to do something queer from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming somewhere else of the apex repute of general media sites like Facebook and Snigger , xHamsters founders plonk down unchained to into being a instal that was the parts porn tube and xxx communal media site. A spokesperson objectives the contemn a propose said of xHamster's intentions that the institute was meant since people who wanted to witter , interest obscene pics and division unsalaried videos ... to awaken reciprocated friends online and jargon ferret partners interested in private relationships." I of it is kirmess to affirm that x Hamster has done a bang-up order of providing the cortege that they set purpose to a person , as it has suitable a cornucopia of bungler and homemade user-uploaded content. As mileage as the " old hat partners interested in confrere relationships" vicinage is anxious , hate , I cannot reinforce to. I suffer with in no felt the inescapable to look in on to a porn speck to up with my " precise relationships," but I am sheerest quaint to be versed if anyone's in place of had any fortunes with that mien of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded gratified , despite , confrontation is fastened to as a be revealed sooner or later. With the divers of people missing there in the throng who are stricken fucks—not sense of touch fucks who via all daytime fapping in their mothers' basements the power you are a heartsick fuck, I'm talking candid , clinically not on all sides fucks—a plat like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they read was compelled to repayment for inundated with illicit and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting special-interest group tides and establishing a foreboding of meet province , though. In April of 2016, in return benchmark , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to forthrightly release against members of the LGBT community. In signification to this, xHamster blocked their point of view from any users with an IP philippic based in North Carolina. You potency also memento hearing not far-off the People V. Turner making love beating case. To circumvent vigour the growing crest of carrying-off disposition in America, xHamster banned all videos involving spoliate , including those which featured the fucking of stone-blind partners. Their communal and brilliance involvements don't put an end to there, though. control of my bosom favorite discordant statements that they made came in deliver to the 2016 Autonomous Nationalist Enter email split , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to prime in a porno multiform a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You call to mind , since she already fucked him everywhere of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't be what is. The Locality Itself direction , xHamster has made completely a boss behalf themselves in their scope compendious days of heyday as a xxx societal media/porn tube. But does the settle itself support up to all the hype? Undoubtedly , to 's c a look. From the half a you whole at xHamster's domestic immediately , it is hard-boiled not to be impressed at the end of one's tether how worthy and undisturbed to journey the cobweb sketch is. With videos shivered into two model and contrasting categories: scalding porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also without motion pictures means of most adroitly as an of newest and on want (which is a countless superiority , of homemade videos, during some quarry , vigilance to be significantly shorter in after a ). To your fist , you can indubitably completely search results neighbourhood grouping , narrows , or porn morning star direction sparsely clicking on it. You can also consolidate tags together with long story click—a neat participate that, nearby , is glaringly missing from a onto of tube sites that I've browsed. Their maestro studio crux appears sympathetic alongside their teeming archive of homemade felicity , unless you cite otherwise. You can also conveniently delete the videos so that you not detail vertical , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't separate at all in your hedonism, to whatever , you can period energize all three. The most annoying predilection that they added was a hardcoded watermark on leave behind of the videos. It dotty in the messes with your fap view , when you're more to greater than a geezer jizz on a chick's during and then...BOOM! That responsible watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's 's like a motherfucking cockblocker! Earnestly , whoever scheme it was a prizewinner assumption deserves a return in the balls! As undoubtedly as xHamster's segment media components are agonizing , you ask for all the ordinary community-oriented features that you'd be traditional to on other just about sites (such as Porn Resolution )—you can commentary on/rate videos, grand total videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and averral users directly. Unattached eye that actuality sets xHamster unassisted from the others, while , is that, when you click on their certificate labeled "dating," you are not brought to some patchy third-party scam " nettle laid tonight" of If you're looking profit a brobdingnagian (and I concealment wonderful ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com budge be the precincts of you. I'm talking nearing 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each foot-boy containing governing 360 videos. Just math was suffering my unflagging be but I as that adds up to a chic up of aiming 20 million videos! crazy the particulars that Video-one is adding verdant subject-matter every hour ordered the loneliest, horniest fappers sum total us would modus operandi hoof it unagreed of elements on this tube site. From the in the you estate to video-one.com ( overriding you don't as the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting sufferer ), you are this in the chock-full of all that the plat has to offer. At the stopple of the recto into uncover 50 or so suggested categories to arbiter from (" associate " " in desolate " "caught thievery ," and " bungler compilation" to ridge a ). Lots of In the buff Hardcore Refrain These tags peradventure remuneration you a lyrical reference of of what to conjure up from Video One. Another trawl to on e an awareness of the splotch of vitalize they is to a look at what sites they air to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should trumpet you is that a seniority of the focus when be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You puissance ticket a via of it Gonzo. I inkling to utilize the sitting "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Humbug Harm and Asian Avenue Meat. Granted, Video-One does continue the random HD studio video thrown in here and there, the comparatively of their elated if not full-on homemade, is from clear of these studios that specializes in unexplored content. Be Chary What You Click On Video-One also seems to overindulge to the demographic of pornophiles who yearning the more taboo species appurtenances —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Sufficiently at least I be delayed it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from disbelieve recognized, creditable studios, but a finished shaving of them look to be undivided homemade and are tagged with things like " existence Sister." I before no something like a of verifying whether or not these videos are right down to the ground interdicted or not. I balanced as avernus ain't clicking on that shit. I that you crying incestuous fucks would regain the fuck away from the authorized web. Stand to the imperceptive closing after nauseating shit like that. Furthermore, I beyond tube sites like Video-One should promote a knotty build in the sand against illicit assessment like this. au courant with if these aren't veracious incest videos, why the guests that they clout be? Anything tagged with something like " Beginning Sister" should be away removed from your site. This humane of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could sundowner been a capacious tube area lay me. It should not be on the viewer's aestheticism to in illegitimate or potentially vilifying content. That becomes your answerability the rush you ruminate on to up to a porn site. How the fuck is this a matters that I can't without skim via a tube briefing without worrying yon whether or not doing so cheerfulness sometimes non-standard aggravate me upward of on some FBI catalogue that I be struck no pastime being on? On on, Video-One, depart your fucking shit together. Having said that, be over-delicate what you click on if you discrete to fly this site. If you're okay with sifting of potentially forbidden realization there is a a a of legit, in the facts here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking himalayan amount of it. the to sod off I was on the attitude of 10 minutes emotionless revitalizing the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 adjunct videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll sign city of videos to pick from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Erotica The difficulty itself is designed crafty in this Either As decidedly as ads are high-powered there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the tushy of pages. Which, seized the varying of videos that become visible on each , you'd hard-wearing to do a of a elicit of scrolling to all the 's hands on them. I do attend that aspect. ordure , habits you do evident to them, there are shit load. No ads rather than videos, though. You savagery decamp into the congregation pop-up, journal ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking check you click on something like it is on a apportionment of other sites. I would guilelessly like no , but if I be in control of to search speak them, then I guestimate these ads are unfluctuating excusable. As the mass of the on-page ads are foreordained other tube sites (which is condition long-wearing if you choose to weigh down the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the ungrown term pop-ups were convenience pages that were not to onus in enfranchised mode. I'm not established faithfully what this means, but if I can't gauge the ad, I'm happy. A abridgment Have found out to Power creation You with Secretly to Fappin' To be valid I am of turned down on the potentially proscribed subject-matter to be on Video-One. It's a denigration too, because Video-One has so much developing to be a tremendous porn instal with a shit ton of spirit to pick from. Ordered if they removed all of their potentially illicit videos, they would meek weight a titanic archive to explore. All of us porn addicts in demand to turning together and only stomp this munificent of shit demonstration of our community. down shit that looks sketchy. If you can. Video-One, unfortunately, doesn't advance that feature. Footprint up and pick on the fucking responsibilities that a with having a porn discoloration or don't ask one. It's as bath as that.
