The Law of Partiality and Appearance
by Ehud Would
"If it promises equality of condition, it promises injustice, because one law for the ox and the lion is tyranny." ~ Richard Weaver, Ideas Have Consequences, p. 44
Modern society, though more than a step removed from the moralism of the Victorian era, has nonetheless taken up the baton of sentimental duties based upon a sort of secular propriety. Undergirded by nothing, it is capricious and arbitrary, but it is nonetheless now consistently cited by everyone ranging from the secular atheist, through the nominally spiritual, all the way up to claimants of the Reformed Christian faith. The moralist maxim that one ought to fulfill his duty "for duty's sake" has been attributed to Mark Twain, William James, Immanuel Kant, Socrates, and the author of the Bhagavad Gita, just to name a few. These neo-Christians can no more account for these recurrences, than the uniformity of this perspective presently held in common among people of such widely ranging isms; but they agree in the main, that favoritism is a grievous social sin.
However, while secularists and those flying under the "spiritual" banner will argue the case from a hodgepodge of socialism, fiat legal theories, and humanist metaphysics, the claimants of Christianity amongst them imagine something very similar to be taught in Scripture. If the secular moralist insists that favoritism, nepotism, and partiality simply aren't cricket, the neo-Christian is inclined only to reinforce the unbeliever's worldview with citations of prooftexts – many of which are completely ungermane to the issue. In their desperation to be accepted by the humanist coalition of the aggrieved, they cite the law of partiality (James 2:9) as grounds for not only the "colorblind society," but the abolition of nations, cultures, classes, clans, and families:
But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Neo-churchmen make a good deal of hay with this injunction, insisting that this passage establishes the "colorblind society," by prohibiting and banishing every human distinction from the minds of men. It means that any affinity or connection, any acknowledgment of or decision based upon age, gender, class, or national, ethnic, or racial identity, is forbidden by God. So they say.
We certainly accept that the law forbids favoritism to interfere with the administration of justice. But this is quite different from saying that affinity and acknowledgement of distinctions are categorically unjust. Of course, this principle of impartiality did not originate with James, nor does he much elaborate on it. In order to understand James's reference here, we must return to Moses, whom James cites on the matter:
You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which the Lord your God is giving you (Deut. 16:19-20).
Here we see that the law of partiality is itself inherently discriminatory. It sets counterfactual options before Israel – that they shall inherit the land which God gave them only if they abstain from inequitable administration of the law. Which is to say that keeping the law of impartiality assured that Israelites would successfully uproot, displace, or eradicate the nations of Canaan; the inverse recompense for judging with partiality was that the Israelites would fail to overcome those nations. The whole of it is a conditional promise of national blessing set against the threat of national curses. The Alienist interpretation of this principle, which disavows any actions based upon national distinctions, is therefore irreconcilable with the brass tacks of the text itself.
The preceding verse (Deut. 16:18) – which, by coincidence, Alienists never cite – precludes, even more strictly, the conclusion which the Alienists insist we draw:
You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
We see that the law takes the Kinist position for granted in the fact that judges are to be appointed strictly "according to your tribes" to judge "the people" (lit. "the race"); so this candid ethnic nepotism in no way is conceived as discordant with the definition of impartiality in the sense which the text intends it. It could not be otherwise, as this text itself stipulates that race and tribe make up the very framework through which the law of impartiality is to be administered: it describes civil jurisdiction as inherently tribal and national.
Conversely, the Alienist understanding of this principle actually views the law as a violation of itself. Confronted with the context and content of the actual law, they often even stumble into dispensationalist-antinomian language by suggesting that "the letter may conflict with the spirit."
Another pertinent reiteration of the law of partiality is made by Jesus:
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgement (John 7:24).
This is perhaps the passage most oft invoked by contemporary Alienists on the matter. They imagine it for a rebuke of "racism," but this passage has nothing at all to do with race. Rather, as we read in the preceding verses (7:1-23), it has to do with the responsibility men have to accept truth, no matter the messenger's seeming incongruity with the prevailing trends, attitudes, legal fictions, arbitrary authority, or groupthink. All of this, in the immediate context, was a direct indictment of Talmudism; and all of this now falls under the secular penumbra of "political correctness." In context, then, Jesus is commanding that we are to judge according to God's law, regardless of the law's or the truth-teller's lack of conformity to the zeitgeist.
As Matthew Henry states it:
"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." This may be applied, either, First, In particular, to this work which they quarrelled with as a violation of the law. Be not partial in your judgment; judge not, kat opsin—"with respect of persons"; knowing faces, as the Hebrew phrase is, Deu. 1:17. It is contrary to the law of justice, as well as charity, to censure those who differ in opinion from us as transgressors, in taking that liberty which yet in those of our own party, and way, and opinion, we allow of; as it is also to commend that in some as necessary strictness and severity which in others we condemn as imposition and persecution. Or, Secondly, In general, to Christ's person and preaching, which they were offended at and prejudiced against. Those things that are false, and designed to impose upon men, commonly appear best when they are judged of "according to the outward appearance," they appear most plausible prima facie—at the first glance. It was this that gained the Pharisees such an interest and reputation, that they "appeared right" unto men (Mt. 23:27, Mt. 23:28), and men judged of them by that appearance, and so were sadly mistaken in them.1
In modern parlance, Henry tells us that Jesus's point here was against knee-jerk reactions, or emotive opinions. The Alienist who invokes this passage as if it condemned the Kinist is in fact doing the very thing against which the passage warns: he is judging not according to the law or the merits of the Kinist's words, but according to the day's visceral moralism: political correctness. This passage then indicts not the Kinist, but the Alienist.
From the very first institution of this procedural law (Deut. 1:13-17), it is structured in distinctly tribal, patriarchal, aristocratic, and hierarchic terms, inseparable from the law of kin-rule:
"Choose wise, understanding, and knowledgeable men from among your tribes, and I will make them heads over you." And you answered me and said, "The thing which you have told us to do is good." So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and knowledgeable men, and made them heads over you, leaders of thousands, leaders of hundreds, leaders of fifties, leaders of tens, and officers for your tribes.
Then I commanded your judges at that time, saying, "Hear the cases between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother or the stranger who is with him. You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afraid in any man's presence, for the judgment is God's. The case that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it."
The plain reading of the text describes the administration of that law as inseparable from the oversight by elder patriarchs appointed only from the pool of their own people to rule over their own respective tribes for the benefit of their own, to ensure their inheritance of the land, and to make equitable arbitration between their people and the stranger. None of this discrimination can then be said to conflict with the principle of impartiality as the Scripture intends it.
Even when it says "judge righteously between a man and his brother, or the stranger who is with him," this provision cannot be mistaken for an endorsement of egalitarianism, for the stranger is referenced as being with an Israelite. The stranger had the benefit of representation only under the patronage of an Israelite. This provision, then, assures legal standing to foreign slaves, indentured servants, ambassadors, and contracted merchants. And the equity of such a policy is apparent, as a slave's master rightly bears liability for the actions of his slave; for that matter, so too does the sponsor of a foreign worker. His guest-worker status is contingent upon the risk assessment and voluntarism of the native. The notion of "equal opportunity employment regardless of immigration status" is unknown to biblical law.
Though the reservations of Alienists toward such a policy would invariably fixate disproportionately on the stranger, they would conversely overlook the liability assumed by the Israelite patron. Insisting upon libertarian license for the alien, they hold any suggestion of ethnonationalist paternalism to be a "nativistic" and "racist" crime. But the law of partiality says just the opposite: it is basic justice. And the Decalogue affirms the same:
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates (Exodus 20:8-10).
Strangers in the land were subject to paternalistic legal oversight by their respective hosts, and these benefactors reciprocally bore a greater accountability for the strangers within their gates, even greater than for their fellow freeholding Israelites. For the Scripture knows nothing of limited liability corporations. Inasmuch as a father bears culpability for his own children, he likewise bears culpability for the stranger under bond to him, because the biblical society is attended by unlimited liability.2 The foreign merchant under contract was the charge of the Israelite with whom he did business, and the liability that such a bond brought required attention to indemnity for all parties. This is what it means to love your neighbor as yourself – responsible indemnity. We fence our rooftops (Deut. 22:8), and we pen or slaughter oxen prone to gore (Ex. 21:29). We are liable for the injuries incurred of our neighbors by things under our stewardship, be they oxen, children, or guest-workers.
Albeit, there is most certainly an equality before the law, because all nations, tribes, and families are equally accountable before God, and therefore equally subject to His law. But His law is not applied the same for all men in all places and circumstances. A father's responsibility over his own children is greater than his responsibilities toward his neighbor's children. This principle of "one law for the native-born and the stranger" in Scripture (Ex. 12:49; Lev. 24:22; Num. 15:29; etc.) is not a call to open-borders egalitarianism, but rather a proclamation of jurisdiction. It ensures that special-interest groups and class lobbies (poor, rich, disabled, etc.) have no exemptions before the law, and that foreigners have no claim of "diplomatic immunity," nor any possibility of legal superiority over the native. Thus Herbert Titus can rightly say:
God has allocated jurisdiction between Himself and man, and has distributed man's jurisdiction among several governing authorities. By His law God has provided for both liberty and order and has safe-guarded man against both anarchy and totalitarian rule.3
Or as H.B. Clark explains:
But even the doctrine of equality is not applicable in every situation. So, though the general rule that the homeborn (native) and the stranger (foreigner) should be governed by "one law," yet it was expressly provided that a stranger should not "eat of the passover" or "enter into the congregation."4
Though the law claimed equality of jurisdiction over the foreigner as over the native, there were yet numerous protectionist exclusions in the law which single out the stranger/foreigner: namely, prohibitions against the acquisition of allodial titles on land (the year of Jubilee required all rented properties to return to the tribal owners: Lev. 25, 27); restrictions on foreign ascendance to leadership in any public capacity (Deut. 1:13-15; 17:15); prohibitions, exclusions, and provisos on intermarriage (Gen. 28:6; Ex. 34:15-16; Num. 25:6-11; Deut. 7:1-3; Josh. 23:12-13; Judges 3:5-8; 1 Kings 11:1-2; Ezra 9:1-2,12; 10:2-3, 10-11; Neh. 10:30; 13:25-27); and others.
Up until recent times, our Christian jurists maintained righteous equity without the egalitarian pretensions of the modern "colorblind" society. Clearly, it is possible to observe justice on behalf of the stranger without the theatrics of Marxist make-believe:
True, the deceased was a Chinaman, a foreigner and a heathen . . . but still he was a human being, and in the estimation of the law his life was as precious, and as much entitled to protection, as that of the most exalted and most beloved citizen of our own state.5
Irrespective of the righteous ruling in the above case, today's Alienist philanthropy looks back on such proceedings with a contemptuous eye because the court dared acknowledge the man's race, religion, and foreign status. At such candid statements of truth, our neo-theonomists rear up on their collective hind legs to echo the 1998 Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in the Zundel case, declaring truth irrelevant: the written opinion in the Ernst Zundel case stated that "truth and reasonable belief in the truth is no defence." The political correctness, now held in common between the secularist and the neo-Christian, regards truth as besides the point. And while calling for God's law in society, the neo-theonomist would yet revile Mr. Zundel's thoroughly Christian response:
This leaves us in a very difficult position. Frankly, what is there to do or say if truth is not relevant – or even "forbidden" to raise it in one's defense? Truth in history is thus outlawed?
Under the aegis of Christian law, they have implicitly, if not explicitly, adopted the theory of "human rights," which was expressly drafted by humanists to supplant the foregoing concept of God-given rights under Christian law.
They somehow read into the biblical law of partiality articles 2 and 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which, taken together, hold the recognition of "distinctions of any kind" and the disclosure of any factual information which might tarnish the "honor or reputation" of another as illegal. Their nomology is soaked to the floorboards with humanism. So much so that it has become their controlling hermeneutic, allowing the Scripture to speak nothing contrary to egalitarianism: eisegesis at its finest, and the suppression of truth in unrighteousness at its worst.
Wholly insensate, it would seem, to their own presuppositions and to the necessary consequences of their stated view, they cannot conceive of the fact that their theory of equal rights entails the abolition of all rights. After all, if discernment between persons and all particulars of their relations and affiliations are forbidden, then no adjudication is possible for anyone in regard to any situation.
Rightly affirming what Calvin called "the harmony of the law," they do so only superficially: insofar as it pertains to correspondence between the law of impartiality, the law of love (Rom. 13:8-10; Gal. 5:18), the royal law (James 2:8), the second greatest commandment (Matt. 22:36-40), and the golden rule (Matt. 7:12), they accept their clear interrelation, but fail utterly to recognize their interpretation of each as precluding any possible harmony between them.
If we are to love our neighbors as ourselves, neighbors exist. For the text cannot criminalize the acknowledgement of a category which the text simultaneously presupposes and invokes as real. To do so would be viciously self-contradictory and incoherent. If neighbors are truly neighbors, not to be regarded as identical to us, then we cannot own each other's houses or families without distinction. Mind you, I'm not saying that it's difficult; I'm saying it's impossible. Not impossibly hard, impossible logically. The Alienist view of it is a veritable web of zen koans.
Loving your neighbor as yourself, in order to be an intelligible directive, must mean that we are bound to respect the sanctity, integrity, and jurisdiction of his house and his heritage apart from our own, just as we expect him to do toward us. And as in the micro, so too in the macro: we recognize the sanctity, integrity, and jurisdiction of other nations and races in their own territories. This is what a friend has adroitly called "love-thy-neighbor racism." Because genuine and coherent love of neighbors is, according to everyone – from the black LGBT Wiccan priestess to the white neo-theonomist – the ostensible definition of racism. Even if they are non-committal on a finite and technical definition of racism, they are of one accord when it comes to identifying the only workable description of love for one's neighbor, and doing unto others as we would have done unto ourselves, as racist.
In closing, it is clear that the Alienist understanding of these things not only lacks coherence, but by the same token, and in the same measure, violates the principle itself. When Moses instructs us to prosecute impartial justice only inside of a distinctly patriarchal-tribal and ethnonational framework, the quixotic Alienist takes up that gauntlet in the name of impartial justice, but only whilst condemning the entire apparatus through which Moses said it must be administered. They extol impartiality in the abstract, but only by entirely redefining it according to fashions of the day, the anti-Christian moralism of political correctness. In this way, then, they are themselves judging with partiality, because they are respecters of persons, motivated by the fear of men. In the name of equal justice, they subvert justice for everyone. They do the very thing against which Jesus warned the Talmudists: they judge according to zeitgeist rather than law, and therefore, on appearance (John 7:24).

Summary: God wants us to give our all to Him, and whatever we do give Him all the glory. Deborah was unafraid to go into battle against the enemies of God. Barak was in the need of the help her strong leadership. God can use women in a mighty way!
God raised up Deborah at a time in history when the children of Israel were going through severe oppression from their enemies because of their spiritual adultery. (Judges 1:16-18) Because of the evil that committed in God's sight, he allowed them to be sold into the hand Jabin king of Canaan who at that time reigned in Hazor. The commander of this army was Sisera.
In verse 3 it states that the children of Israel cried out to God; because Jabin had nine hundred chariots of iron, and for twenty years he had harshly oppressed the children of Israel.
God wants His children to be free! Imagine being oppressed by the enemy for 20 years. Much like my own life. I lived in oppression from sin for over 20 years and it was much like the Israelites who God allowed the enemy to oppress.
We all have once lived in a state of oppression from the enemy wanting to be free but not seeing a way out.
It's not until,I got sick and tired of the way I was that I turned it all over to God.
If we want victory, we have to worship the LORD and him only! The Israelites were quick to forget what God did for them that they went after strange gods to bow down to them.
God is the one and only, the ALPHA and the Omega, the Beginning and the END.
How many of us in here can be real that it was at our lowest point in life that we finally came to our senses and cried out to God for help.
In the scripture we find a mighty woman of God who sat in a position of authority and of power judging Israel. She was a leader of the people of Israel.
The role of the judge was to first seek God for wisdom to judge rightly and to make decisions on behalf of the people.
It also gives record of Deborah being a prophetess which means God spoke to Deborah under the Palm of Deborah. This place was in the mountains. The mountains is where Jesus would often go to pray. Matthew 6:12---"Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God." I could just picture her listening for the voice of God to give her every WORD that she needed. So many trusted her and relied on the WORDS she received from God .
1) As women of God, it is vital that our complete dependence come from God. That we have our ears open to hear God speak. The awesomeness of this woman of God is that she was humble. She humbled herself before God and sought God from a pure heart.
2) The woman Deborah was a leader of leaders! She knew who her God was and trusted fully in the deliverance and I the WORD she received from God.
3) She was a woman of courage! She was not afraid of the enemy. She went out to battle and even there she was ruling mightily.
She knew how to take the lead but she also knew how to stand in a supportive role for her friend.
Barack was a mighty warrior and commander of God's army who at this time in his life wanted someone with him and so he declared that if Deborah went with him he would go into battle.
In the song of Deborah, it states that they both sang a song unto the LORD.
They gave ALL THE GLORY TO GOD BECAUSE IT WAS THE LORD WHO SENT THEM INTO BATTLE, IT WAS THE LORD WHO GAVE THE VICTORY!
Whatever we do for God, we must always remember that if it had not been for the LORD, it could not get done.
Go in the strength that the LORD provides.
God wants to show up in our lives, the problem though is we have crowded God out of our schedules. Jesus is the Son of God yet He did not take that for granted, it was His delight aim and hearts desire to know what His Father had to say about everything so that He could walk and talk and do the will of God.
Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying: "When leaders lead in Israel, when the people willingly offer themselves, Bless The Lord.
God wants us to give our all to Him, and whatever we do give Him all the glory. Deborah was unafraid to go into battle against the enemies of God. Barak was in the need of the help her strong leadership. God can use women in a mighty way!

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — It stands to shift the direction of the nation's highest court for decades, but President Donald Trump's move to fill a Supreme Court vacancy has barely cracked the consciousness of some voters in the nation's top political battlegrounds.
Even among this year's most prized voting bloc — educated suburban women — there's no evidence that a groundswell of opposition to a conservative transformation of the judicial branch, which could lead to the erosion or reversal of Roe v. Wade, will significantly alter the trajectory of the midterms, particularly in the House.
Many of those on the left who were already energized to punish Trump's party this fall remain enthusiastic. On the right, voters loyal to Trump often needed no encouragement either, though some Republicans who have soured on the president were heartened by the nomination of federal court judge Brett Kavanaugh.
And those in the middle? Many said they weren't following the issue closely enough to have a strong opinion despite the prospect of dramatic changes to America's customs and culture.
Breetzke was among two dozen voters interviewed by The Associated Press in the days immediately after Trump tapped Kavanaugh to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, who was a swing vote on several key issues, including abortion rights. Those interviewed live and vote in districts that are expected to decide the House majority this fall — places like suburban Philadelphia; metropolitan Omaha; Orange County, California; northern Virginia; and Denver's western suburbs, where Republicans hold seats but Democrat Hillary Clinton performed well in 2016.
Democrats must pick up at least 23 new seats now held by Republicans to claim the House majority. They are starting with a focus on 25 districts where Clinton led Trump in the presidential vote, but the field now extends to several dozen more districts where Trump won by small margins.
The Supreme Court battle will be fought in the Senate, where Republicans are eager to vote on Kavanaugh's nomination before the midterms. The vote is especially crucial for Democrats seeking re-election in states Trump won in 2016 and could affect turnout in those races. But for now, it's unclear whether that enthusiasm will trickle down to contests for the House, where Democrats are better positioned to regain control.
In Bucks County, Pennsylvania, north of Philadelphia, Sandi Frederick said she'd be troubled if Roe v. Wade were overturned. But having voted for Trump in 2016, she said she'd likely vote for freshman Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick.
For now, Frederick, a 56-year-old registered independent, says Trump's Supreme Court pick is a qualified candidate: He speaks well, seems like a family man and seems to have an acceptable resume.
And in northern Virginia, where two-term Rep. Barbara Comstock is considered one of the nation's most vulnerable Republicans, Marlene Burkgren says she feels powerless to stop Trump's party from confirming Kavanaugh.
"I'm a little disappointed with the way things have worked out," said Burkgren, a 67-year-old volunteer tai chi teacher at a local senior center.
"There's nothing we can do," Burkgren said, noting that she still plans to vote in November to try to oust Republicans from control. Comstock faces state Sen. Jennifer Wexton in a campaign season that has seen a wave of new women candidates.
These voters echo the beliefs of many of Washington's top political operatives, who are skeptical that the high-profile Supreme Court nomination debate in the weeks ahead will significantly change the fight for congressional control this fall. The skepticism reflects the increasingly short attention span of most voters given the weekly turbulence in the Trump era and the likely timing of the Senate's pre-election nomination battle.
Polling related to past Supreme Court nominees suggests there is typically little public awareness or informed opinion on the picks, especially within a few days of their unveiling.
Certainly, some Republicans who have been lukewarm to Trump said the president's push for another conservative justice renews enthusiasm that has waned somewhat as the GOP-controlled Congress has failed on key promises to dismantle the 2010 health care law and enact new immigration restrictions.
Retired airline pilot Dave Stacy of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, voted for Trump but said he doesn't like him. Kavanaugh's nomination gives Stacy reason to vote for vulnerable Republican freshman Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick.
And Kavanaugh's profile serves as a powerful reminder for some Democrats of what they don't like about the Trump era.
Despite the ambivalence from some, candidates in both parties are working to use the situation to their advantage.
Democrats in Washington and in congressional districts are warning voters that a conservative shift on the court could negatively affect women's rights, health care and the special counsel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The party enjoys a consistent advantage generically in polling ahead of the Nov. 6 election, and the Kavanaugh nomination is expected to push more activists to volunteer and more donors to contribute to party causes, Democratic operatives said.
Likewise, Republicans cheered the prospect of new restrictions on abortion and other conservative priorities that help motivate evangelical voters who may be skeptical about Trump's leadership style and personal baggage.
Still, Republicans will need suburban women, especially those like Republican-leaning Taylor Liesemeyer of Omaha, where first-term GOP Rep. Don Bacon is facing a spirited challenge from progressive Democratic newcomer Kara Eastman.
Bacon called Kavanaugh's credentials "impeccable" and congratulated Trump on the pick, comments that could pose a risk in an election where women like Liesemeyer, a Republican who supports keeping abortion legal, will be key.

Jim Cornette and Brian Last react to Ric Flair allegations on Dark Side of the Ring
NWA/Rex Features
On the latest episode of "The Jim Cornette Experience," Jim Cornette and Brian Last reacted to the Dark Side of the Ring episode of the infamous Plane Ride From Hell.
Cornette said, "As I said earlier...the guys entertain each other and they only mean it that way and there's not malicious intent involved but when you hear stories like this completely from the outside of the world of wrestling, you think 'my god those guys are completely insane?' As I mentioned, I think in some cases, what several of these people were trying to say was there was no malicious intent involved in anybody's actions. Rather it was a combination of alcohol, bad judgment and not realizing that they weren't in the same old environment they were in. They're on a big f**king brand new charter plane flying across the ocean with a lot of outside wrestling people involved that don't take kindly to their antics. It was a recipe for disaster. I hate that Flair has come off looking like this because I know the guy and I genuinely believe that he never wanted to hurt anyone or offend anyone or freak anybody out or make anybody feel like that poor flight attendant felt. It was something that he did that people wanted him to do for so long that he never knew when to stop, I guess."
Last said that there is a difference between flashing someone and cornering someone like Flair was accused of doing and Cornette agreed with that.
Cornette added, "I can't explain why anybody, except maybe the alcohol, why anybody would have thought that any of that stuff was a good idea to do to those people at that time on that plane altogether. I'm interested if we can find out what antics Vince has been around for and wasn't and which flights he was on and wasn't on because if people remember him being on flights where incidents happened even if they are conflating this one with a different flight, the point is I worked there for a long time and I know that Vince McMahon, if any point where he was in a situation he saw the guys acting up all he would [have to say is] 'hey, gentlemen!' He had that f**king air [about him] and commandingness. At the very least, you could understand something happening once but if there's multiple incidents, even if it's different people, if they ain't got the idea don't f**k up on the planes by now. One of the first things I learned when I got in the business is the boys will f**k themselves every time. Get a good rate at a hotel, one of the guys might trash it. Get a good rate at a rental car place, one of the guys is gonna wreck it. Whatever the case may be, the boys have always had trouble policing themselves but this took it to a ridiculously new level."
Last said that Flair came off really bad in the documentary and Car Shield is not playing the ads with him and presumably, any upcoming appearances for wrestling promotions are on hold right now.
Cornette added, "all I say is and all I stand by is it was wrong, he shouldn't have done it. It wasn't the time, it wasn't the place, it wasn't the people, there's no excuse for it. But I still just knowing Ric genuinely believe that down deep in his heart or brain or whatever, he didn't think that he was offending anyone, doing anything wrong that anybody would remember and be pissed about the next day. I've seen him treat average people in various ways that he would come in contact with them overly politely. It's not like he was going around being a raging a** to anybody." He continued, "I've seen guys be d*cks to women at the matches, unnecessarily. I've never saw him do that. I never saw him act like a star to people in convenience stores or out in public or being a dick to them or whatever the f**k just unnecessarily. You know, not excusing it but there has to be something to be said for intent. I'm wondering when did he ever figure out that this wasn't getting over anymore. Maybe when he got sued."

Bigger fish unveiled in Wilson Raj's kelong e-book
Wilson Raj revealed for the first time his links to China and a betting house boss named Ah Kang, who had occasionally placed large bets on his behalf.
Zaihan Mohamed Yusof
SINGAPORE - Their names may be "new", but they are certainly not novices in the kelong game.
They are the previously unknown big fish who have been exposed in the pages of Wilson Raj Perumal's e-book, titled Kelong Kings, co-written by two Italian journalists.
In 2011, convicted match fixer Wilson Raj spent a year in a Finland jail for fixing the country's football league.
The 48-year-old was again detained in Finland on April 16.
The names have never been made public in recent match fixing investigations - until now.
Perhaps Wilson Raj wants to make the point that he is not at the centre of the dark world of football match fixing.
And nor are Dan Tan Seet Eng and 1990s kelong king Rajendran "Pal" Kurusamy.
Since the 1990s, scores of runners, bookies, financiers, agents and money mules have allegedly worked with Singapore match fixers to manipulate football globally. But just who are they?
AH KANG
Ah Kang was able to provide "millions in credit" to match fixers, especially if he knew a football match had been fixed.
The moneyman was so impressed with Wilson Raj's handiwork that he had invited him to China to see his operations in Xiamen in South-east China.
Wilson Raj sent a representative instead.
From his betting house in an industrial part of Xiamen, Ah Kang had 10 men, each sitting in front of a computer, waiting for Ah Kang's betting instructions.
The mainland Chinese had once told a Singaporean match fixer: "How much credit do you need?
"There is no senior master agent involved, just my betting house that can place your wagers on credit in one shot.
"You want to play Roma vs Napoli? Pick up the telephone, tell me how much your order is and I will do the job for you."
Another name that popped up in Wilson Raj's e-book is "Harry", described as a rival to Dan Tan, the Singaporean named as the mastermind in the Italian and Hungarian match-fixing probes.
Tan, who was arrested in September in a massive anti-kelong crackdown in Singapore, was in a secret war with Harry, revealed Wilson Raj.
Both men were vying for Ah Kang's favour and business.
In the 2008 Merdeka Cup, Wilson Raj had admitted to hatching an elaborate plot to get even with Harry on Tan's behalf. The aim was to make Harry lose "big money".
Tan had allegedly said to Wilson Raj: "I want to teach this f***** a lesson. Let's see who's the boss, let's see who's the Big Boss."
Unknown to Harry, the captain of one visiting African football team was in fact a Mali-born S.League footballer working for Wilson Raj.
Harry ordered the team to win. The fake captain assured Harry his team could easily beat their rival, a South-east Asian team.
On match day, the African team lost 4-0. It is not clear how much Harry lost.
Harry is described as a senior master agent with a regional betting house. One law enforcement officer told The New Paper that Harry had previously been convicted of manslaughter.
Harry was allegedly behind fixed matches during the 2008 Intercontinental Cup in Malaysia, and the 2008 Lebanon vs Singapore 2010 Fifa World Cup qualifier in Beirut. Lebanon lost 2-1 to Singapore.
The arrest of two men in Syria had exposed one prominent unlicensed moneylender from Singapore.
The man, known in Wilson Raj's book by the initials RP, was one of two men nabbed in 2009 for trying to bribe players from Tishreen SC, a Syrian football club.
Wilson Raj had earlier received a tip-off informing him that the team was about to call the police. He warned RP but was ignored.
RP had allegedly said to him: "You're just messing around with me. The players all agreed and now you come and tell me that the police are after us? Give me a break."
The hotel room where the match fixers met the players was rigged with hidden cameras. Syrian police then ambushed the fixers.
RP spent five months in a Syrian prison and allegedly paid US$100,000 ($125,000) to secure his freedom.
Former Fifa head of security, Mr Chris Eaton, verified Wilson Raj's account in 2011.
Mr Eaton wrote in an e-mail to TNP: "Both players informed the head of the club and the trainer about the matter, and the two Singaporeans were then brought before the public prosecutor. "They were deported after being prosecuted in Syrian courts."
The great expose
Two men shed some light on Wilson Raj Perumal's motive in telling all.
One of them is Mr Alessandro Righi, one of two co-authors of Kelong Kings.
The other is a man who has known Wilson Raj since the 1990s. He does not want to be identified.
Was Wilson Raj trying to make money from his e-book?
Mr Righi told The New Paper last week: "Wilson has not seen a single dollar from the publishing of the e-book and he has put his livelihood and personal safety at risk by revealing the things written in Kelong Kings."
Why does he expose the others?
His friend told TNP yesterday: "I sense he's confident he will never return to Singapore. It is his character to have the last say. In a way, he wants people to know that Wilson Raj was the one who exposed the others involved in kelong activities."
Does he stand by what he says?
Mr Righi said: "When publishers turned us down because of legal worries, Wilson Raj told us to go ahead and publish ourselves, even going to the extent of proposing to take the full burden and responsibility of his revelations upon himself."
What was Wilson Raj doing in Finland when he was last arrested?
The friend said: "All I can say is that it doesn't make sense that he was there to see his family. He could have met his wife and two children elsewhere."

As a Southwold photographer my services include head shots, property, weddings, events and commercial.
Southwold provides some of the best views in Suffolk. At the mouth of the River Blyth the town has a lovely sandy beach leading north to Covehithe.
Southwold, popular with tourists and local visitors is famous for it's colourful beach huts. They have such a prime position that each hut sells for many tens of thousands of pounds. The walk along the sea front from Gun Hill to the pier passing by the beach huts is a delight.
The town has a lighthouse, a large church, a large common, a pier, a cinema. It is the home of the Adnams Brewery. You just cannot beat a pint of Adnams straight from the cask.
The lighthouse is well worth a visit. You can climb to the top where there are some magnificent views. The town has a wealth of shops and many places to eat and drink including the Sole Bay Inn, a popular public house.
You can often find Morris Dancers dancing in the street. The beach café on the pier sells freshly caught fish with chips at excellent prices.
The clock on the pier is an unusual feature. The view from the end of the pier looking over the town is spectacular. The town is a very popular place and inspiration for artists, writers and photographers. If you are marrying in Southwold, it is also a great backdrop for your wedding photographs.
A footbridge or the Ferry takes you south over the River Blyth with it's lovely moored boats, to the quieter but charming village of Walberswick. Walberswick has a lovely sandy beach and is flanked by sand dunes.
Covehithe just north of Southwold is a quiet pretty beach with stunning yellow cliffs. Parking at Covehithe is limited and the walk to the beach is approximately one mile but it is worth the effort.
The nearby historic town of Beccles on the Broads is also worth a visit if you are in the area.
If you require a professional photographer in and around the Southwold area please contact me.

Are used iPhones unlocked?
By Drew Kozub
There are a few important factors you should look for when considering a used iPhone. One of them is whether or not the iPhone you're about to buy is unlocked or not. An unlocked iPhone can be used on almost any carrier in the world. A locked iPhone... well, you may have to jump through hoops to get it unlocked, or may not be able to get it unlocked at all.
Why do I need an unlocked iPhone?
How can I tell if my iPhone is unlocked?
What can I do if I bought an iPhone locked that isn't unlocked?
Having an unlocked iPhone means you can take it to almost any wireless carrier and it will work with their network. The Apple Store sells unlocked iPhones but most carrier stores only sell iPhones locked to their own networks. So, for example, an AT&T iPhone will only work on AT&T, not T-Mobile. A Rogers iPhone won't work on Telus or Bell. A Vodafone iPhone... you get the idea.
This means you can't just get any old iPhone and use it on any old carrier. If you are not sure which carrier you want to go with then buying an unlocked iPhone is a good idea.
If you're buying your phone secondhand, usually people specify in the ad if a phone is unlocked since that makes it more attractive. You should still ask when buying, though, to make certain whether or not a used iPhone is locked to a certain carrier and then make absolutely certain by testing it yourself.
The simplest way to test if a phone is actually unlocked requires an extra SIM card. The SIM card is the tiny card that goes into your phone and gives you access to a particular carrier's network.
Here's how to run the SIM unlock test on a used iPhone:
Ask the seller what carrier their iPhone currently works on (let's say AT&T).
Get or borrow a SIM on a different Network (eg. T-Mobile).
Turn the iPhone you're buying on.
Browse to a website (you can use iMore!) and make a call on the iPhone with the owner's SIM to make sure the phone works.
Turn the iPhone off.
Stick the SIM card in the iPhone, turn it on, and see if it picks up the network. You can tell by checking the top left of the Home screen and looking for your carrier name and signal strength indicators.
Browse to a webpage and place a call to make sure.
What can I do if an iPhone is carrier-locked?
If you haven't already bought the phone and it's not unlocked, you can ask the seller to contact the carrier and request the phone be unlocked before you buy it.. If the phone is off of contract at this point, most carriers will do this for their customers, as long as they were the original owner of the phone.
If they don't know how to do this, or say it's too much work, shoot them these links if they're locked to one of the big four:
How to unlock an iPhone on AT&T
How to unlock an iPhone on Verizon
How to unlock an iPhone on T-Mobile
If you've already bought the phone and want it unlocked in the easiest way possible, you can use an online unlocking service like Chronic Unlocks or keys2iPhone. With services like these, you specify some information about your phone and within a few days, they will send you a confirmation message once your phone is unlocked.
You don't need to buy an unlocked iPhone if you can find a used one on the same carrier you plan on using. If you don't know who you will ultimately go with, then an unlocked iPhone is your safest bet. If the iPhone is not unlocked, you can always use an online unlocking service, but that will cost you a little extra money. If you want to have the most options available when selecting a carrier for your secondhand iPhone, then buying an unlocked one is the best way to go.

Cockshoot Broad: terrific venue, but no Osprey!
Prompted by Steve G's terrific image, Linda and I spent a couple of hours in the hide at Cockshoot Broad, staying until 4.30pm. No sign of the Osprey, but Kestrel, Sparrowhawk and Buzzard all put in an appearance, while a Kingfisher whirred past every now and again. Plenty of ducks and both common Grebes, as well as most of the expected Odonata... Just no Osprey!
Back at home, a couple of Painted Ladies and a Southern Hawker visited the Buddleia.
Spoonbills at Titchwell: don't believe eveything you read!
If record-keepers and bird news disseminators gather their information by scanning blogs and tweets, they need to spread their nets more widely and with greater discrimination! Increasingly frequently inaccuracies and misinformation appear on the various news sources and blogs.
Great North Coast trip - but where were the Stonies?
With nothing particular to aim for, Linda, Brian and I headed westwards to what is usually the best pre-dispersal gathering site for Stone Curlews. In two trips on this date last year we found 80 and 140 birds: but not today! Not a single Stonie was to be seen!
Best birds at Cley were a couple of Greenshank, several young Little Ringed Plovers and a very photogenic Snipe: a path-side ditch held a family group of Reed Warblers.
If you have a decent knowledge of all things musical (film themes, album covers, lyrics, artists) and four or five friends you might want to pencil in the December 1st Music Quiz at Blofield Heath. I'm the MC and will be playing one of the rounds live on guitar! There's food, a bar and some terrific prizes! Everything from John Williams to Johnnie Rotten!
Still lots to see at Strumpshaw Fen!
With plenty of muddy fringes and little islands, there's a good selection of wading birds at the Fen at the moment. At least two Great White Egrets still, as well as over a dozen Grey Herons. Several Green Sandpipers flew around 'peeping' and a flock of a dozen Ruff fed in the shallows. Snipe could be seen from all three hides today: some kind of record?
Other interest came from two species of deer, fly-through Sandwich Tern and Peregrine and lots of Marsh Harriers, including several Mick Hucknall impersonators!
Food prices set to rise! As are sales of Landrover Discoveries!
Are some farmers taking the p*ss?
WHAT A LOT OF NONSENSE!
If they spent less money on unnecessary toxic agrochemicals, shotgun cartridges and destruction of the countryside and its wildlife, they'd probably be able to afford THREE Discoveries this year instead of just the one!
I recognise the principle when I see it!
And just remember the thousands of tons of fruit and vegetables that are destroyed each week because they don't conform to supermarket and wholesalers' specifications!
As the value of the pound has dropped 25% against other currencies, you might think that imported food would become dearer, thus leaving a market advantage to home producers. Economics 101. Yes, p*ss has been taken.
Regular visitors to this blog may recognise the oak tree in the photos below: it's in the fields at the end of my neighbours' garden Over the years I've seen an amazing variety of birds perched in its crown, from woodpeckers to Turtle Doves, Spotted Flycatchers, gulls and several species of raptor!

I attended a Vistage speech and presentation for CEOs that was given by Hunter Lott. He is a very engaging business presenter.
While this was only a 45 minute sample, I felt like I have a decent understanding of what makes Hunter successful as a keynote speaker.
This video I believe shows off some of Hunter Lott's speaking skills. He called on me during his speech for the $5,000 bonus question (as seen in the video above of him presenting in Dallas).
Don't think job interview-think job audition.
Action: Take one of your A players out to lunch. Ask them "why are you here?" Find out why they work for you.
Why work here? We will give you the skills to get your next job.
Action: Add testimonials from our team to the jobs page on our website.
Look for the best matched, not just the best qualified.
Hunter Lott was a very engaging, funny and an informative speaker. I especially appreciated that he delivered what is typically a very dry, boring, complicated subject matter in a funny, smart way.

We are not a family breakfast kind of family. Most weekends we do our own thing. Since we are on a schedule all week long, when the weekend comes no one wants to commit to a wake up time or a group breakfast. There are, however, a couple of exceptions. Birthdays, mother's day and father's day are family breakfast outings. We have our favorite place; the kids know that we are committed and typically there are no complaints about getting up…in fact, I think they actually look forward to it.
Mother's Day 2013 — we are seated at the Breakfast Club, stomachs rumbling, saliva forming as we ponder the yummy, drool inspiring offerings. Our server comes to our table, pen and pad in hand; one by one we place our order. Just an ordinary family out for an out-of-the-ordinary breakfast together.
Did you catch that? I know it took me a long time to get to this point in the story. Now remember, this happened a year ago. Hunter didn't exist yet — at least not in his current state of being. Olivia was still very much Olivia to us and we were still using female pronouns.
Naturally, as a FTM trans guy, Olivia was thrilled to be "mistaken" for a guy. I was indignant. And, in complete denial. This was my daughter. I was just getting used to shopping in the boys' department. I was definitely not ready to use male pronouns.
If you had told me a year ago that in a year's time I would be calling my younger child, Hunter, using male pronouns and correcting others when they call him "Olivia," I would've said NO WAY. No question, I was in denial.

!!! spoiler alert !!! Review
Ash Princess- 4 1/2 Stars
9:35 pm 17 May 2018
Thanks to Netgalley for an advanced reader copy of this book
Thora/Theo
Upon learning that the Ash Princess was going to be another "Underdog Heroine Out to Save Her Impoverished And Abused People," I was, quite honestly, bored. Soooo many of those already out there. So we really need another? Certainly NOT! However, this particular heroine just doesn't come off like the others. Perhaps it is her unique status as the "Ash Princess" or maybe her surroundings or back story, or maybe the writing was just so good that I can overlook any tropes that might appear. Whatever it is, Theo just isn't like other YA book heroines. She does some things that I don't really agree with, but she does them for the right reasons and that has to count for something right? Right.
My boy, Blaise. Where do I begin? He is the stuff Book Boyfriends are made of. He held back a the right times and made himself vulnerable at the right times. And you just know there is some crazy power that he keeps at bay, but I have no doubt if Theo needed him, all bets would be off. I enjoyed this character.
The third corner of our triangle. Honestly, I pity him more than anyone else in the story, which is saying quite a bit, because there are a number of people in this story that deserve pity. He's just ordered around or tricked or used by just about everyone. He feels guilty for what he does but by the time he stands up to his father, it's too late on every side, so e threw himself into the line of fire for nothing. Pressure from everyone. No one to trust. Sadly, no one who truly cares for him...and acknowledges it. Just plain sad.
Okay, let's take a moment to discuss the real hero of this book. The biggest play in the story and arguably the most risky, and it was a thirteen year old girl. If there were more girls like Elpis in this story, there would be a pretty formidable army of teenage girls-- and really, who wants to fight an army of teenage girls.
The Kaiser
You know, normally I just want the good guys to win. This time, I wanted the bad guys to lose. Like lose big. I wanted him ripped apart. But waiting for it- actually I think that'll make it even better. And I really want Soren to be the one who does it. I know that Theo wants it, but Soren just seems more satisfying to me.
She's kind of that spoiled best friend that you can't help liking even though their entitlement is obnoxious. Even so, until the end, I really did like her. And in the end, I still understood her. One of the great things about these characters, for the most part, even when you don't like what they're doing, you can understand why they're doing it.
There were really no big surprises with the plot as far as the MC's goals and where she wanted to end up. Even not knowing how it ended, I wasn't like, "Wow, where did that come from?" Tension continued to build through the story, however, and there was never a part that was lackluster, though that also meant that no parts really shined for me, which is fine, because that just means the whole story was pretty solid. There really wasn't anything spectacularly new. A tyrant took over a smaller country and made them slaves while his own people obeyed him out of fear. The execution of the writing made it special however, which we will get to in minute.
Solid A+ for World Building. I'm not sure of the time period, however, the place was very well-written and never did I feel I wasn't actually there. I can imagine the dungeons and the Was as the Prinze and Theo sailed under the stars. The mines, though we never actually visit them, so dark and dank that anyone would go crazy down there. The throne room, commanding and intimidating and cold.
If I were to describe the writing in this book with one word, it would be: lush. There was no choppiness. Nothing was rushed or slow. The pace, as mentioned, was steady and engaging. Characters were fleshed out and we saw angles of everyone mentioned. Even the Kaiser had a backstory. Where I expected action scenes to be hurried, they were fully described without being drawn out.

Home » FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How to Eliminate Feedback
Audio feedback is the ringing noise (often described as squealing, screeching, etc) sometimes present in sound systems. It is caused by a "looped signal", that is, a signal which travels in a continuous loop.
One of the most common feedback situations is shown in the diagram below - a microphone feeds a signal into a sound system, which then amplifies and outputs the signal from a speaker, which is picked up again by the microphone.
To eliminate feedback, you must interrupt the feedback loop.
Here are a few suggestions for controlling feedback:
Change the position of the microphone and/or speaker so that the speaker output isn't feeding directly into the mic. Keep speakers further forward (i.e. closer to the audience) than microphones.
Use a more directional microphone.
Speak (or sing) close to the microphone.
Turn the microphone off when not in use.
Lower the speaker output, so the mic doesn't pick it up.
Avoid aiming speakers directly at reflective surfaces such as walls.
Feedback can occur at any frequency. The frequencies which cause most trouble will depend on the situation but factors include the room's resonant frequencies, frequency response of microphones, characteristics of musical instruments (e.g. resonant frequencies of an acoustic guitar), etc.
Feedback can be "almost there", or intermittent. For example, you might turn down the level of a microphone to stop the continuous feedback, but when someone talks into it you might still notice a faint ringing or unpleasant tone to the voice. In this case, the feedback is still a problem and further action must be taken.

What Is 'Backdoor.MAC.Eleanor' Malware, And How To Protect Your Mac Against It
By Oliver Haslam | July 7th, 2016
Security research company Bitdefender's research lab has shared details of a new malware that affects those using Apple's computers, with Backdoor.MAC.Eleanor solely targeting Macs, as the name would suggest. In an attempt to ensure as few people are affected by this new threat as possible, it's important that information about the malware is disseminated far and wide, and to aid that here are a few FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) surrounding it, and importantly, how to avoid your Mac from being infected by it. So, without any further delay, here's everything you need to know about Backdoor.MAC.Eleanor malware that could potentially affect your Mac.
What is Backdoor.MAC.Eleanor and how is it transmitted?
Backdoor.MAC.Eleanor is a brand new malware that is being distributed via a malicious app called EasyDoc Convertor that claims to instantly convert documents once they are dragged onto its icon. While never available via the Mac App Store, EasyDoc Convertor was downloadable from the popular MacUpdate website, though as of July 5th it had been removed.
How is Backdoor.MAC.Eleanor distributed?
Via Macs that have EasyDoc Convertor installed, a script is installed and set to execute at startup that allows a malicious entity to remotely connect to the Mac in question. That access is granted via a Tor service, meaning it is well hidden. Once infected, attackers can then connect to the Mac and modify files, execute commands, and even take photos and record video using the Mac's built-in camera, if available. That's just the start of it, too, with attackers also able to send emails with attachments and administer databases from the machines which makes them perfect for large scale SPAM campaigns amongst other things.
The most obvious way to stay safe from this attack is to avoid installing the EasyDoc app, and even if you did, chances are that your Mac would prevent it from running thanks to Gatekeeper. Ensure that Gatekeeper is enabled via System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Malware apps such as BlockBlock can also be used to ensure a Mac isn't already infected while also running in the background to ensure a new infection cannot occur.
What if I'm already infected?
Those with EasyDoc Convertor installed can use the anti-malware app Malwarebytes to clean their system – it has already been updated to do so.

The Big Day is almost here. But now the bills are rolling in, and so has the reality of financing that perfect wedding.
Homeowners have more financing options than they think. Most Americans don't realize that their biggest source of wealth is in their homes. Just by paying the mortgage each month, equity is building up in the home that can be a resource when it is needed. Smart use of that home equity can make big expenses, like a wedding, more economical. And, typically at an interest rate that is lower than most other types of financing.
Even when rates increase, home equity is still likely the least costly alternative. There are also possible tax benefits. Interest paid on a home equity account may be tax deductible (a tax advisor should be consulted regarding tax deductibility).
"When deciding whether or not to use home equity to pay for a wedding, the first step is to evaluate your personal financial profile," said Doreen Woo Ho, president of Wells Fargo Bank's Consumer Credit Group. "You should look at how much outstanding debt you have. Do you expect changes in your employment or income? What kind of monthly payments can you afford?"
The good news is that there are numerous options to meet individual circumstances. Financial institutions such as Wells Fargo offer a unique range of customizable and flexible home equity products based on your risk tolerance, your budget and other financial considerations. For example, with a home equity line of credit, you can take out available credit as you need it to pay the dressmaker or the caterer, and you only pay interest on the amount you use. Or, depending on your financial planning goals, you can choose to apply for a home equity loan to cover the entire wedding and receive the proceeds in one lump sum and make equal payments over a specific period of time.
"The decision to use home equity is an important one that should be made wisely," said Woo Ho. "With that in mind, a wedding is a lifetime investment. Home equity is a very appropriate way to finance a once-in-a-lifetime experience, one that will be with you forever. Wells Fargo takes pride in giving customers the information, tools and options to make smart financial decisions-the decisions that make lifetime events possible."
