Doctrine and Covenants Lesson 12:
"All Things Must Be Done in Order"
Doctrine and Covenants 27–28
← Come, Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants LessonsCome, Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Resource Index →
Elder D. Todd Christofferson said that as you study the scriptures and record impressions, "you will be giving place in your heart for the word of God, and He will be speaking to you" ("When Thou Art Converted," Ensign or Liahona, May 2004, 11).
D&C 27: Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Harmony, Pennsylvania, August 1830. In preparation for a religious service at which the sacrament of bread and wine was to be administered, Joseph set out to procure wine. He was met by a heavenly messenger and received this revelation, a portion of which was written at the time and the remainder in the September following. Water is now used instead of wine in the sacramental services of the Church.
D&C 28: Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet to Oliver Cowdery, at Fayette, New York, September 1830. Hiram Page, a member of the Church, had a certain stone and professed to be receiving revelations by its aid concerning the upbuilding of Zion and the order of the Church. Several members had been deceived by these claims, and even Oliver Cowdery was wrongly influenced thereby. Just prior to an appointed conference, the Prophet inquired earnestly of the Lord concerning the matter, and this revelation followed.

WWE RAW HITS & MISSES 3/18: Angle's announcement, McIntyre vs. Seth, Lesnar and Heyman, Batista's satellite interview, Women's Tag Title picture
By Jon Mezzera, PWTorch Specialist
Drew Galloway (art credit Matt Charlton & Sam Gardiner © PWTorch)
Opening Segment – HIT: Raw got off to a good start with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar talking about Seth Rollins challenging for the Universal Title at WrestleMania. I loved when Heyman put himself over Shakespeare. He compared Rollins to the other smaller wrestlers who had given Lesnar problems in the past, while pointing out that despite that, Lesnar still beat each of them. He questioned why Rollins would want to face Drew McIntyre so close to having to face Lesnar. It was surprising that it was McIntyre who came out to interrupt, not Rollins. This was a good way to capitalize on McIntyre's dominating week last week. The attack from behind by Rollins was an interesting way to go to end the segment.
Strowman & Balor vs. Lashley & Rush – HIT: This was a good tag match. I generally enjoy the matches where Braun Strowman and Finn Balor team up. Bobby Lashley continued to look like a jerk for the way he abandoned Lio Rush in the end. That relationship has to head somewhere new because it is going to be unbelievable how Rush would continue to help the man who is so abusive towards him. With Strowman announcing that he would be in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal later in the show, it points to Balor getting the Intercontinental Title match at WM, but nothing has been announced yet.
Moment of Bliss – MISS: Alexa Bliss is good, but I'm not a fan of her flirting with the wrestlers the way she did with Balor awhile back or here with Elias. I don't care about WM hosts or WM musical guests, so the announcements from Bliss last week and Elias this week weren't that important. The interruption by No Way Jose's conga line with Heavy Machinery leading the line didn't work. It is low card filler and Jose deserves better. WM deserves better than to have a "big" announcement from a wrestler who is so low on the card that he is involved with the conga line. Elias should be above it at this point. The match that followed was ok, but who cares?
Angle's Announcement – MISS: Like everyone live in Chicago, I groaned when Kurt Angle announced that his final match ever would be against Baron Corbin. It sort of makes sense from a storyline standpoint in that Corbin was Angle's big antagonist for the second half of last year. However, Angle already got his revenge against Corbin. He made a surprise appearance at TLC to help put the exclamation point on everyone helping to end Corbin's run as the Raw GM. That was three months ago. It should have been put to bed. Angle deserves a more skilled opponent and a bigger name for his final match. I don't care to see Angle wrestle at all. But if he is going to, at least give the fans a chance to see a good opponent. Angle's match that followed against Chad Gable was solid, but not good enough to get a Hit. It was likely better quality that what we are going to see from Angle vs. Corbin.
Women's Tag Title Picture – MISS: The Women's Tag Team Championship is new. Bayley & Sasha Banks became the first Champions as part of a multi-team match. I don't like the idea that their second Title match will also be multi-team. I liked the idea of having the returning Beth Phoenix team up with Natalya to face Nia Jax & Tamina while Bayley & Banks defend the Title against another team. I was disappointed with last week's developments which pointed to a triple threat. This segment certainly did as well. There were good things about it, but not enough. I am ok with Phoenix and Natalya interrupting the Champs to challenge them for a Title match at WM. However, talking was never Phoenix's strong point. She was ok, but not good enough. I didn't like how Bayley and Banks came across as disrespectful to a WWE Hall of Famer. Once we got the match of Nataly vs. Banks, the physicality with Tamina attacking them from behind as Jax distracted them worked well. But, the direction they are going in is disappointing.
Ricochet vs. Mahal – MISS: Leave it to Jinder Mahal to make a Ricochet match boring. They are presumably going to continue with Ricochet and Aleister Black as a team. But, we still don't know anything about who Ricochet is. This would have been a better week to have some type of feature on Ricochet to get to know him better instead of this meaningless match. Mahal basically dominated the match with a series of headlocks which got so boring pretty quickly. We got a few big moves from Ricochet at the end, but it was too little too late.
Unhinged Rousey – HIT: I am curious to see where WWE goes with Ronda Rousey's husband Travis Browne. I liked the idea that they would show up late and be chastised for it, but the scene was not well done. The referee who did the scolding wasn't good, and it was weird how he reminded Ronda that she had been fined an undisclosed amount of money. She knows how much it was, so why say "undisclosed"? Just remind her that she's already been fined and move on. Otherwise, the way that Ronda presented herself was great this week. She continues to shine as a heel. I loved how she destroyed Dana Brooke in about 20 seconds. She presented herself as totally unhinged this week which worked very well. The abuse she gives the referees is great and the way that her husband at ringside was utilized worked well too. This is the Rousey that we need going into WM.
Batista – HIT: The interview with Batista was so much better than last week's yelling match with Triple H. Here, his performance was very good. He explained why he wanted this match against Triple H. He went over their history well and told the story in a way that actually made me side with Batista. A lot of what he said rang true. As much as I liked the segment, it may have gone too far in making him the sympathetic character. However, his rude behavior at the end when he stormed off was definitely more of a heel move so it ended strong in that way.
McIntyre Promo – HIT: McIntyre should have sold the chair attack from Rollins at the start of the show when he came out to challenge Roman Reigns to a match at WM. It was like it never happened. Other than that, his performance was strong. He presents himself as a badass no nonsense heel and it works for him. I didn't like the way Rollins responded. He started to respond but then threw to a video of what happened last week. That was so awkward. Why would Rollins set that up? He would just want to talk to McIntyre and then fight him. He wouldn't want to take the time to talk to the director to have a replay queued up. So I didn't like how the segment ended, but the McIntyre promo was a Hit.
McIntyre vs. Rollins – HIT: This was a good main event. Like so often happens, WWE painted itself into a corner where they can't have a clean winner. Or more accurately, I should say they can't have a clean loser. You can't have the #1 contender to the Universal Title lose clean. You can't have Roman Reigns' WM opponent lose clean. So you keep telling the story of McIntyre beating the Shield members, while protecting Rollins in how he was distracted by the presence of Heyman and Lesnar. Of course, this made Rollins look stupid for getting distracted in the first place. This is part of the problem with having this match. But, that was the end. The match until that point was very good. It made me want to see more of them in the ring and I suspect that we will see them face for the Universal Title down the line.

As with all Hansen industrial gearboxes, UniMiner offers all common motor, shaft, and mounting options, and can be readily accessorized for unique applications.
The Invertible gearbox in conjunction with the optional rigid flange coupling and motor lantern makes it highly suitable for conveyor applications. The Invertible gearbox alleviates the past requirement of separate drives for left and right hand orientation of gearbox drives on multiple drive conveyors. The innovative gearbox can be inverted, i.e. turned 180° for either handing. The resultant reduction in the number of spare gearboxes to be held in stock for possible breakdowns leads to significant cost and space savings.
In Europe, our complete drive solutions portfolio also allows you to either opt for P4 gear units (for your high torque range applications) and benefit from flexible though customized and engineered solutions; or select a PARAMAX quality gear drive (for your lower torque applications) and as such choose a more standard and economical solution. Either way, the extended and more precise selection opportunities will cater for more economic solutions in any application. Paramax helical and bevel gears of the standard Paramax range and the various special Paramax versions are the outcome of six decades of experience in drive engineering. By virtue of the modular design, they permit use under difficult and severe conditions even in the most diverse applications. The Paramax product range consists of the standardized 9000 series with 26 sizes that allow precise application design according to the performance, torque and velocities, thus ensuring a long service life and cost effective, powerful operation.

We discuss the situation in Iraq with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald. In a recent article for The Intercept, "U.S. 'Humanitarian' Bombing of Iraq: A Redundant Presidential Ritual," Greenwald reviews news headlines related to U.S. military action in Iraq over the past two decades. He cites a 1991 New York Times headline, "U.S. and Allies Open Air War on Iraq; Bomb Baghdad and Kuwaiti Targets; 'No Choice' But Force, Bush Declares," and a CNN headline from 2003 titled "Blair Likens Saddam to Hitler." Then, closer to the present, he cites a Daily Beast story titled "ISIS 'Worse Than Al Qaeda,' Says Top State Department Official."

NERMEEN SHAIKH: We continue to look at Iraq now as we turn to our next guest, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald. One of his recent pieces for The Intercept at First Look Media is titled "U.S. 'Humanitarian' Bombing of Iraq: A Redundant Presidential Ritual." In it, he runs through headlines from media coverage of Iraq starting in 1990. He cites a 1991 New York Times headline, "U.S. and Allies Open Air War on Iraq; Bomb Baghdad and Kuwaiti Targets; 'No Choice' But Force, Bush Declares," and a CNN headline from 2003 titled "Blair likens Saddam to Hitler." Then, closer to the present, he cites a Daily Beast story titled "ISIS 'Worse Than Al Qaeda,' Says Top State Department Official."
AMY GOODMAN: Well, to talk more about this "redundant ritual," Glenn Greenwald is joining us via Democracy Now! video stream from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Glenn, welcome back to Democracy Now! Talk about the U.S. coverage and the—what you feel is the response to President Obama announcing more strikes in Iraq.
GLENN GREENWALD: There's so much propaganda that constantly inundates U.S. media coverage of our political leaders. That's not a secret. But I think, of all that propaganda, the one that always shocks me the most is the idea that U.S. military force is going to be deployed for humanitarianism and humanitarian goals. And that's true for two reasons. One is that every single war, literally, throughout history, just about, is justified on the pretense of humanitarianism. I mean, Hitler, when he invaded Czechoslovakia and other neighboring countries, said he was doing so to protect the human rights of German minorities. Al-Qaeda says that they bomb the U.S. to protect the rights of Muslims around the world. Over and over, this is the justification of aggression and brutality and violence, that, oh, it's being done for humanitarian ends.
And that's so much true that in 2004 Noam Chomsky wrote an article essentially making that point, and in response, Samantha Power, who's now the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and an advocate of all sorts of interventions, she conceded the point. She said much blood was shed in the last century by United States forces or proxies in the name of righteous ends, because every state justifies its wars on the grounds of self-defense or altruism; Chomsky is correct that any, quote, "profession of noble intent" is predictable and therefore carries no information.
And the second point is that all you have to do is look at the things that the United States does in that region, as Patrick Cockburn was just saying. I mean, the U.S. just got done feeding arms and munitions to the Israelis to kill 2,000 civilians in Gaza. Hillary Clinton, in 2009, said, "President and Mrs. Mubarak are close personal friends of my family." And, of course, the explicit policy of the United States for the most repressive regime in that region, Saudi Arabia, is, quote, "regime continuity." So how anybody can believe that that same—
AMY GOODMAN: We're speaking to Glenn Greenwald. We seem to have just a little hiccup in the video stream. Glenn, are you back with us?
GLENN GREENWALD: Yes, I think I am.
AMY GOODMAN: Oh, go ahead.
GLENN GREENWALD: Yes, you know, I was just saying, in light of all of that conduct of the U.S. supporting the most brutal, repressive dictators in that region, feeding arms to the Israelis to kill civilians, how anybody could then simultaneously believe that that same government that does those things is motivated by humanitarianism or democracy or freedom for people in that region is really mystifying.
AMY GOODMAN: Last Thursday, President Obama said the U.S. has an obligation to act when thousands of civilians are at risk. As he authorized airstrikes in Iraq, this is what he said.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: And when many thousands of innocent civilians are faced with the danger of being wiped out and we have the capacity to do something about it, we will take action. That is our responsibility as Americans. That's a hallmark of American leadership. That's who we are.
AMY GOODMAN: Glenn, are the Yazidis facing a massacre? And does that sentence that President Obama just uttered resonate with other situations? Glenn, we're—somehow you're frozen again.
GLENN GREENWALD: Yeah, I can—yeah—
AMY GOODMAN: Go ahead.
GLENN GREENWALD: I mean, I think, clearly, you know, that ISIS is a group that is brutal and awful and extremist and dangerous. Nobody likes ISIS. But the U.S. stands by constantly while thousands or more people are put at risk or are even killed. And not only does the United States stand by while that happens, but the United States government is an active participant in the killing of thousands of civilians all the time. As I said, the Israelis just killed hundreds and close to 2,000 people in Gaza, including women, men and children, and not only did the United States stand by, we fed them the arms and protected them at the U.N. It seems like our humanitarianism is triggered only when it comes time to assert control over oil-rich areas. And I don't think it's any secret to anybody who has studied the region, including the important oil locations in Kurdistan, as Patrick Cockburn was just saying, that this became an issue for the U.S. government not when certain minorities became put in jeopardy of their lives, but when the flow of oil in that area became jeopardized. And, you know, it's fine if you want to argue that oil is an important resource and the U.S. government should use military force in order to defend it, but we should at least have that honest debate and not allow political leaders to stand up and deceive us—in this really pleasing, though misleading, way—that we're really dropping bombs out of humanitarianism.
NERMEEN SHAIKH: So, Glenn Greenwald, what do you think accounts for the fact that the U.S. media, in general, doesn't question the self-professed motives, humanitarian motives, of the Obama administration, or indeed the many administrations that preceded it who used very similar justifications?
GLENN GREENWALD: Well, like I said, I mean, this trick, this tactic of pretending that aggression and violence and a war are really being done for humanitarian reasons, is not unique to the United States. I mean, you can look at Napoleon and the invaders of the early 20th century and, as I said, al-Qaeda and Gaddafi and a whole range of people. The writer Jonathan Schwarz has compiled a really long list of some of the worst warmongers in history, who have used identical humanitarian explanations as the one the U.S. government gives. And I think one big reason is that because no population, no country, likes to think of itself as an aggressor, as an empire, as warmongers. We all like to think that we're good people. And so, one of the ways that you get a population to acquiesce to a permanent state of warfare, which is obviously what the United States government is in, and has been in for decades—how do you convince the population to continue to acquiesce to the continuous slaughter of people around the world, to the bombing of multiple countries, in a way that no other country would contemplate? Really, the only way that you can do that is by continuously telling them that it's being done because you're benevolent, because we just love humanity and love freedom and love democracy so much that we constantly bomb people in pursuit of those goals. And I think the combination of how adept this propaganda is, when it's done by the U.S. government and U.S. media jointly, combined with the desire that we all as human beings have to think good things about ourselves, makes it so that, even contrary to all evidence as it is—
AMY GOODMAN: Glenn, we're—another little hiccup there. "Even contrary to evidence," go ahead.

Sweet relief lies behind the door to an air conditioned room after a day by the pool or working out in the yard. Your AC unit works hard to keep you cool during the summer, and that Xcel bill shows it. Twin City residents, you don't have to sacrifice comfort for savings. The professional team at Minneapolis Saint Paul Plumbing, Heating & Air wants you to get the most out of your air conditioning system with a few energy-saving tips.
Size matters. Whether you're interested in a room air conditioner or a central air-conditioning system, you need an appropriately-sized unit and bigger doesn't always mean better. Oversized air conditioning units will run until it hits a set temperature without a chance to adequately circulate or dehumidify the air, giving the room a "sticky" feeling.
Manage your temperature. Save money by minimizing the temperature differences between indoor and outdoor as much as possible. Set your unit to the highest comfortable temperature.
Supplement with a fan. Adding a fan into the equation allows you to raise your thermostat or AC unit temperature by about 4 degrees without losing that level of comfort.
Monitor the area. Avoid placing appliances that let off heat such as lamps near your thermostat or AC unit. Otherwise, your unit doesn't have an accurate gage of the temperature in your home.
Switch to auto mode for automatic savings. Auto mode on the fan setting ensures that the system's fan shuts off at the same time as the compressor, eliminating excessive usage. Fans help circulate the cooler air throughout your home.
While temperatures may not reach blistering highs in the Twin Cities area, they can still cause our energy bill to hit all-time highs. Let's enjoy the summer without Xcel bills on our mind. Schedule a free in-home estimate and meet with one of our professional comfort specialists to discuss the best options for you. Contact us at (651) 228-9200.

Exciting collaboration partners five of the world's leading dive brands
Five of the scuba diving world's leading brands – Apeks, Fourth Element, IQSub, Paralenz, and Shearwater Research – have launched a collaboration to promote exploration, ocean awareness, and inclusivity within the sport of diving. The first outcome of this partnership, a short film called Unexplored, shatters the misconception that cave diving, often referred to as the most-dangerous sport in the world, is reserved for men.
As the first-ever collaboration of this scope in the diving industry, the project brings together innovators in the field of imaging, instrumentation, equipment, and clothing to present a progressive approach to some of the challenges faced by the sport and the environment. Increasing 'ocean awareness' is understood by the participating brands to be one of the industry's most-essential responsibilities. Consequently, the mission is to initiate and catalyze stronger collaborations within the industry, and greater inclusivity of the diving community to become ambassadors of the ocean.
At the core of the partnership is exploration. Our oceans remain relatively unexplored – an estimated 80 percent of the underwater realm and 90 percent of underwater caves remain undocumented. However, while the budget of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) for the fiscal year 2019 stands at $21.5 billion, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) receives only $42 million for ocean exploration and research.
"Growing a general interest in underwater exploration, for example through the promotion of cave diving, will increase the amount of ocean ambassadors to address pressing issues. Technical divers are a great asset to marine research, as they access some of the deepest and darkest water-filled parts of our planet," says Jacob Dalhoff Steensen, Partnership Manager at Paralenz and key partnership initiator.
Unexplored, the first outcome of the partnership, follows two technical divers exploring the Tortuga Cave in Tulum, Mexico. It sheds light on myths and stereotypes about technical diving, presenting cave diving as a pursuit of something more spiritual than dangerous, with a positive message about inclusivity.
"I wanted to challenge the stereotype that technical divers are usually men," declared Maria Bollerup, who was joined by long-time diving partner Rannvá Jørmundsson in the film. "The diving industry and technical diving is very open. I see more and more women and female teams at the technical dive sites. It's refreshing. However, away from these sites, the external image of the sport is much different."
When Maria and Rannvá told Jacob Dalhoff Steensen about their ambition, he was thrilled. "It's great to hear the community speak up. The idea for the film emerged directly from the community. Their enthusiasm to get people interested in technical diving is contagious," he said.
The partnership will continue working together to increase awareness for our ocean through future projects. "It's exciting to be part of this project," said Jim Standing, co-founder of Fourth Element. "Initiatives like this show that together our organiaations can achieve more than they can working in isolation. We're looking forward to the next project."

The first significant hurdle for any project team effort is to establish clarity around the purpose of the project. No project can be successful without clarity of mission.
Properly orienting a new project team ensures that the team starts off on the right foot. Use of the Team Orientation Process™ I devised provides a means for a project team to understand the task at hand and provides a basis to begin working together as a team.
The goal is to reduce the time to build an effective team by deliberately initiating and enabling an ongoing team-building conversation that would otherwise gradually emerge over an extended time period.
What is the Standard or the Guideline?
Typically, the task of the team is assigned and the team has little or no say about it. The purpose of a project may seem obvious, but often team members make assumptions about it. Typically, there are as many ideas as there are team members.
Ask each team member for their motivation of accepting the assignment to this project team (reasons beyond a paycheck and continued employment). The project manager can accomplish this with a series of questions that penetrate to the heart of the matter and careful listening to responses.
It's common to get some form of a "I don't know" response. The project manager can ask again using a variation of, "What could possibly be in it for you?" Listen carefully to the response and watch for a shift of energy in tone of voice, facial expression, or body language that indicates striking a positive nerve.
Note that team member motivation may not correspond with the purpose of the project; it may be purely a personal self-interest having nothing to do with work life, and that's okay. Also note that motivation is a better predictor of success than technical skills — so don't skip this because it feels weird.
Ask the team for proposals about team agreements and seek a consensus from the team about their adoption. Team agreements serve to make norms explicit that are otherwise expected but may be only implied.
Expectations that are not explicitly agreed are oftentimes the basis for conflict within the team at some point. Team agreements serve to accelerate the "forming, storming, norming, performing" model of team growth.
A characteristic of high-performance teams is that they have a "clear and elevating goal," a purpose that transcends the task of the project and creates energy and excitement in the team. It is the team's sense of meaning about what they're doing together.
What's in it for us? What do we want to get out of this effort that is above and beyond the task?
What will we be celebrating when we complete the project?
We often say that people are our most important resource. This step is an opportunity to treat people as more than "interchangeable parts" and discover the unique gifts each project team member brings to the situation. To do so, elicit the unique capabilities that each team member possesses and is willing to bring to the team. The key is to honor differences while acknowledging the potential value present in each team member.
Recognizing the factors that contribute to building a high-performance team and deliberately addressing them positions a team to more quickly traverse the curve toward achieving higher performance levels and deliver increasing value. Taking the time to consider the contributions each individual team member can make to the project makes people feel valued. And a high-performance team in which everyone works together toward the goal makes the task more fun!

Q: Generic type java.util.List inheritance Lets say I've got two classes Person and Child. Child inherits from Person. I have also 2 other classes Class1 and Class2.
Class1 has constructor with only one parameter - its a java.util.List of Person.
Class2 has List of Child. I want to pass these childs to Class1 constructor. But I can't do it - Eclipse says that
The constructor Class1(List<Child>) is undefined.

I thought it would be possible because Child inherits from Person. What is the problem?
SSCCE (not compilable) may looks like this:
Somewhere in Class2
List<Child> childs = new ArrayList<Child>();
new Class1(childs);

Class1 constructor
public Class1(List<Person> persons)
{
//do nothing();
}

A: If a List<Apple> was a List<Fruit>, you could do the following:
List<Apple> apples = new ArrayList<>();
List<Fruit> fruits = apples; // this doesn't actually compile
fruits.add(new Banana());

And it would thus completely break the type-safety of generic types. If you want Class1 to accept a list of any type of Person, it should take a List<? extends Person> as argument.

A: If you define a constructor this way
public Class1(List<? extends Person> persons) {
}

you will be able to pass List<Child> to  it

Last night I had an opportunity to the check out the Student of Color Organizing Conference here in Phoenix. Sponsored by GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network), this event was created for people of color that are LGBT high school students or allies. It was open for attendance by any student interested in becoming a community organizer. I naturally get excited about any event held for LGBT people of color and gave the local GLSEN a phone call to offer my assistance in anyway. Although I would not be apart of any of the training or learning of the day, I was able to participate in the best part, the closing dinner.
I left the conference a bit more encouraged about the future of my community. These kids were smart, articulate, socially conscience and talented. Following the dinner the kids had a chance to take part in an "open mic" if they were so inclined to participate. Several kids shared their own poetry and one young kid braved the mic (inspite of his obvious nerves) and sang.
Following the dinner I had an opportunity to network with some of the folks of GLSEN (from the local chapter and from the national chapter), some phenomenal individuals from the ACLU and a couple of great folks from P-FLAG. It was great being able to hold real conversations about relevant issues. I always find it taxing when I'm trying to talk to someone and the only thing they're able to discuss at length is what's happening on Top Model or American Idol.
I'm riding on an emotional high following this conference. I personally want to thank the GLSEN organizers for creating a safe place for LGBT students of color. They enjoyed it and they learned a lot. lso I enjoyed it and I'm a bit more hopeful as a result.

'Religious Right' Resorts to Lies About Being Forced to Perform Gay Marriages
The Religious Right is reeling.
The federal government has recognized gay marriage in six more states, extending federal benefits to those couples.
The federal government has opened the door to gay marriage and the Religious Right is striking back with false stories about how churches are being forced to violate their beliefs to comply.
A couple from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho claim they are being forced to perform same-sex weddings in their wedding chapel, despite it being against their religious beliefs.
Donald and Evelyn Knapp are ordained ministers who run the Hitching Post, a wedding chapel that operates under the International Church of the Four Square, an evangelical Pentecostal sect.
The Knapps claim they were told they must start performing same-sex weddings, or face fines and possible jail time for violating a city ordinance.
The Knapps quickly claimed religious discrimination said their worst fears have come true. Churches are now being forced to perform same-sex weddings.
Hold on there for a moment. Here's the rest of that story:
A slight hitch (pardon the pun): the chapel is not a non-profit ministry, but a for-profit company, which means it's required by law to follow state and federal laws.
Real churches are non-profits, and are not being forced to comply with any government regulations.

GMB Verified Listings – No Longer Viable? Hey everyone.. Quick question. Are there still people who specialize in creating and verifying GMB listings across the USA? I can't seem to find any services that do this.. I know P.O. Boxes and Virtual Offices have been cracked down on.. Is there another way I could go about to do this on my own perhaps? Thanks everyone.
Pay Per Lead and Google My Business? So I'm interested in pursuing a Pay per lead for local businesses using my own sites and SEO. Is there a way around buying a virtual office address for a GMB account or is that the only way?
Google My Business Posts? Does new post feature boost ranking? I have been making daily post for GMB page and haven't seen a change. What else helps with GMB rank?
In Need of Adult Backlinks for High Profile Domain Please DM me if you provide quality work in the adult space in black hat seo and PBN. The word here is quality as I need to stay away from toxicity given we're unique and play in a lot more than just the adult space. Potentially this has very large buying volume potential given the client size and scope. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Colleen Holland (centre) is campaigning for State Government funding for Ulan Road, supported by (form left) Errol Grieve and Geoff Hawes of the Mudgee Rescue Squad, regular road user Deborah Sprigg and Hugh Bateman of the Property Shop.
Mudgee resident Colleen Holland is calling on die region to get behind a push for State Government funding for Ulan Road and Cope Road.
Mrs Holland hopes 10,000 people will sign the petition calling on the State Government to use funds allocated to mining affected com-munities to upgrade the roads and to act urgently to designate Ulan Road as a State Road.
If 10,000 people sign the petition the issue will be debated in State Parliament.
Mrs Holland said a previous petition signed by 4000 people had been used by Mid-Western Regional Council to support its push for funding for Ulan Road.
According to a recent council report, Ulan Road is only fit to carry about 800 vehicles a day. The road is already used by more than 4000 vehicles a day and the number of vehicles has grown by 17 per cent a year.
Mrs Holland said the question of funding for Ulan Road is important for the whole region, not only the residents, mine workers, school children, truck drivers, tourists and cyclists who use regularly the road.
State Government funding of Ulan Road would free up Council funds to be spent on other areas of the region, she said.
Mudgee Rescue Squad member Geoff Hawes and Errol Grieve are supporting the campaign to upgrade Ulan Road.
Mid-Western Regional Council, Wilpinjong, Moolarben and Ulan Mines and the State Government have been negotiating for nearly two years on funding for Ulan Road.
The cost of upgrading the whole road was estimated at $32 million in the first funding strategy prepared on behalf of the mines.
The strategy recommended that council pay $16 million of the capital works cost – equivalent to 342 per cent of council's capital roads budget for 2010/11.
The most recent strategy, focusing on the worst sections of the road, costs the work at $21.5 million.
Mudgee businessman Hugh Bateman said he was not sure that the State Government was aware of the dire need to upgrade Ulan Road.


1. Looking over my blog posts recently I can report that they are decidedly political. (Go figure) I am not apologetic because politics is a lot of what makes me, me. But, since this blog is mostly about me and my pursuit of the allusive book contract, I'm posting more policy and political stuff on my Obama.com blog page here. So many feel a sense of ownership after this week's amazing events. Come on over if you'd like to stay apart of the Obama community.
2. Like d_michiko_f I have a husband who is often out and about on business. (I haven't counted the total days this year Debbie, but I'm sure you've got me beat.) To those of you who single parent all the time you know that it is no piece of cake. But I think the difference is that when you are always the single parent you own that constant sense of decision making and responsibility in a way that on again off again single parenting does not allow. Hubby will be home on Sunday. Good thing because I've run out of energy. Last night we went out for dinner, this morning we ate breakfast at McDonald's, and tonight we had macaroni and cheese (and broccoli) Needless to say, I'm ready for my sweetie to come home.
3. The reason we ate at McDonald's is because my children left their homework papers at school. This has been a regular issue for my organizationally challenged (OC) child so last night I barked, "We will wake up and go to school at 7 to get those papers and you will complete your work!" Well at 7:30 we did indeed make it school. "Mom," says my OC child, "it's not going to be open." "Why didn't you say that to me last night," I asked, "or this morning when we got in the car." "Because I didn't think you'd really make us do it," he said. I got a chuckle out of that one. Once in, we got the papers and staked out the McDonald's fun room as a quiet study hall away from the old guy coffee club. (free refills) They finished everything.
4. I finished my freelance newsletter and a press release in the midst of election euphoria. So glad! Today, I worked on getting out the rest of the workshop contracts. Now onto the folks who are doing any sort of crits. Hopefully I can take a few days to just do novel work and not worry about freelance stuff. I've noticed that my internet cruising has decreased sharply since the election was decided.
It reminds me a little of cfaughnan 's thoughts today.

By Adam Rotter | Mar 18, 2014 | 3:05PM
Raphael Diaz spoke with the media on Monday about his status and what he is doing to stay ready (Rangers):
"I need to be ready and practice, have good practices. After practices, skate and keep in shape and stay positive and work hard. It's all that I can do and it is what I am doing.
On his season, "like you said this year has been a fun year for me. I started with MTL, I got traded to Vancouver and a new system and new coaches and then I went to Sochi, bigger ice, new team again. I came back, played two games as a forward and got traded to the Rangers. New things as well, new system and you need to adjust to the new system and stuff."
Diaz was acquired by the Rangers at the trade deadline and has yet to play for the Rangers.
On not putting so much pressure on himself, "taking it day by day is the best thing that you can do. If you are on the ice or off the ice, work hard, be in shape, take it day for day. This is the best that you can do. If you think too far it's not good for yourself. The best thing is to stay in the moment and work hard."
Has anyone helped you out, "all the guys, everyone is really nice. I remember my first day I was in Carolina there and the guys came and took me out for dinner right away, it was really nice. You feel like right away that you are part of the team and it's nice and shows how good of teammates that you have and I think we have good teammates and are a really great team."

From the Blogger: "A modern heart sachet - embroider the top and then sew the sides, filling it with something sweetly scented. This heart-shaped sachet can be tucked in a drawer of clothes, a bin of fabric, or sent inside a quilt to keep it smelling fresh! Add a ribbon and hang it from your window. Perfect thing to sew for Valentine's Day - french knots spell out "love" amid the geometric lines, angles, and shapes. Love!"
What an adorable project for Valentines Day. I'm always looking for something non-romantical to share with friends for the holiday and this would make a perfect gift. You could even make these into adorable hand warmers by adding some rice. Just pop them in the microwave for 15-30 seconds and they'lll warm your recipient right up. Adding to my Be Mine Pinterest board for this year's Valentine gift giving ideas. Thanks for the inspiration!


SCOTT McLaughlin and his DJR Team Penske team go into the 2019 Supercars season a stronger unit than their combination at the end of 2018 - a bit of a spooky prospect for the rest of the competition.
The defending champion is now behind the wheel of the returning Ford Mustang, which is an enhancement in some ways.
They have been right at the coalface of developing that car.
They've played a huge role in getting it homologated, which you need to do to register it for racing.
That's quite a big project and they would have learned a lot through the course of aero testing.
You have to work out what the car likes. I know that sounds like you're talking about a dog or a horse or something, but it is a lot like that.
When you've got a new car you might lower the front of it by 3-4mm. You might raise the back of it by 3-4mm.
You might make the back of the car stiffer than it used to be.
When you go to the racetrack you need to know what it likes - and that is almost an art.
I went down to Phillip Island for the test day to have a close look the cars and speak to the drivers.
The Mustangs, at that big, fast layout, looked very impressive.
If I was a Ford fan and wanting Mustang to be competitive, it was a really good first-up hit-out.
Still only 25, McLaughlin is the real deal.
When you break it all down and talk car racing, you have to think of the critical element - speed - and he's got an abundance of that.
He's a very fast young man.
His consistency, race craft and gamesmanship were better last year than previously.
In his first year with DJR Team Penske, 2017, McLaughlin worked for the first time with veteran Triple Eight engineer Ludo Lacroix and only just lost the championship.
There was some learning, and even some language barriers, dealing with a French engineer. Some mistakes were made during the course of that year.
But they're a much stronger combination now.
McLaughlin by himself is strong. McLaughlin working with the Penske organisation and Lacroix form a pretty formidable package.
But, of course, we can't discount Red Bull and Holden drivers Shane van Gisbergen and seven-time champion Jamie Whincup.
We are watching one of the great things about the modern era - the continued high-level rivalry between Ford and Holden.
And that's been energised by the Mustang name.
It's an historic performance car for Ford - delivering a world- recognised name plate that will bring more life to Ford fans.
Ford have spent money coming back into the sport, and it's in Holden's DNA to go car racing.
They've got the latest ZB Commodore and their factory team with Red Bull Racing.
If you hark back to the rivalry between Peter Brock and Allan Moffat in the 1970s and '80s, you've now got a modern version of exactly that.
Van Gisbergen is favoured to again make the early running.
He has had an incredible run - four race wins in a row at Adelaide. Two 300-point weekends.
He's obviously been very good around the streets of Adelaide - he and Whincup ride the curbs and bumps probably better than anyone else.
But it's not just McLaughlin versus Van Gisbergan and Whincup this weekend.
Holden driver James Courtney has always been good around Adelaide.
Chaz Mostert, in a Mustang, will be hard to beat if his team have done the appropriate amount of work in the off-season, and David Reynolds almost beat van Gisbergen in the Sunday race last year.
Mark Winterbottom is an interesting story. The 2015 champion will be driving a Commodore for the first time in his career.
Then there's Richie Stanaway, who was at Tickford last year as a rookie and has really great motorsport credentials.
But last year was not just underwhelming, it was disappointing for everyone involved with him and Tickford.
Another very talented and aggressive young Kiwi, Stanaway has moved across to Garry Rogers, where he's replaced Garth Tander.
There are a thousand different storylines.
Another aspect that must be factored in is a small but vital rule change that permits teams to use linear springs only.
Teams were using multiple springs at the back of the car, particularly in the rear to stiffen the car on the way into a corner and soften it on the way out.
What it did was almost trick the car into turning into the corner and putting its power down, which provided improved traction coming off the corner.
The really good teams were excellent at using multiple springs to get the best outcome, while many of the junior teams still ran a linear spring.
The rule change has levelled the competition.
The guys at the back of the field are going to be better than they have been and it all makes for a fascinating season.

Revel in Thom Browne's Hella Fun, Goth-Penguin Fashion Show
Images via AP.
Thom Browne is cool and fun, in fact, so cool and fun that it remains a bit shocking that he still has his runway shows in New York. Thom Browne, don't ever leave! For Fall 2017, he created a little Winter Wonderland for us all, as filtered through a broken mirror into the Upside Down.
Browne recreated Antarctica via FAO Schwartz for the runway, plopping models in shoes that mimicked ice skates and using the flightless bird of the poles as a color palette and inspiration for a mood. Certain looks invoked The Penguin, too, specifically Danny DeVito's version of the villain: wacky, unhinged, but impeccably appointed.
It wasn't entirely based on the Arctic tuxedo, though; hints of color popped up in primaries to compliment the hues, including a woven jacket and clever shortpants that could double as Hamptons weekender gear. He is having so much fun and it's a quality that, for the most part, was intensely missed this NYFW, its somber moods and heavy-handed politicking leaving little room for subtlety or subtext.
Here, though, maybe he was commenting on climate change, maybe not, but it could have been imbued with multiple sociopolitical meanings should you desire to apply them. If not, there was still ample spirit to draw from.

Is the model at 1:59 supposed to be walking like that? Like, is that a normal way for a fashion model to walk or is she in pain or what is going on there?


Need some Mature views on things!
This can then get car MOT'd and Tax'd and then im going provisional insurance, as it works out cheaper (well it does on a 1.25 Zetec my mate has - paid £649 for provisional insurance, then £600 on top when he passed) - The polo will come to a meet this way too!
To finally book my theory - Second week in jan! Now to get revising!!!
I'd say sort out the car first before messing with some wheels ... Do it Do it! You have to pass first, isn't it like REALLY frustrating?
Passed Theory (good ol' fashioned 35question / Hazard perc. job) and Passed Practical 3minors.
But good luck with your theory! That was a shite year in sixth form when I did it lol, but the easiest test I did all year ha.
spend all your money on wheels!
Unless the current wheels on the car are square i'm sure they can wait until you're actually able to drive.

With addition of the new 121,169-square-foot facility in the industrial hub of Al Ain, Al Habtoor Motors plans to cover all bases in the Abu Dhabi market.
The new Mitsubishi complex was launched in the presence of Mr. Ahmed Al Habtoor, CEO of Al Habtoor Motors, , Senior management of Al Habtoor Motors and Mr. Toshiaki Nomura, President – MMMEA FZE.
The new multi-storied showroom complex features a basement, ground floor and mezzanine. While the basement features covered parking area for hundred cars, the ground floor features Mitsubishi passenger vehicles showroom, an After-sales area featuring spare parts center and separate service facilities for passenger and commercial vehicles.
The showroom reflects Mitsubishi's winning spirit and features large display areas for the entire range of Mitsubishi vehicles. The showroom design focuses on sporty elegance and customer convenience. Al Habtoor Motors has constantly strived to offer its clients some for the finest automobiles backed by efficient After-sales service, which is why, the Mitsubishi showroom also features a separate service and parts section under one roof.
"We have a very special relationship with the people of the UAE. Al Habtoor Motors and Mitsubishi continue to share a unique and decades long partnership of trust and success. We are both driven by professionalism, quality and high standards of customer service. We love challenges and we keep challenging our own achievements. This has helped us to reach new frontiers as we continue to expand our network." added Mr. Ahmed Al Habtoor, CEO of Al Habtoor Motors.
"A great product cannot be one, if it fails to satisfy the customer. In the case of automobiles, unfailing After-sales support becomes as critical as the sales efforts itself. This is where our association with Al Habtoor Motors has helped us ensure that all Mitsubishi customers in the UAE enjoy a great ownership experience. We at Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) are proud of Al Habtoor Motors achievements as they continue to expand their network thus enabling Mitsubishi to maintain its leading position in the UAE market as well as the region.", said Mr. Toshiaki Nomura, President – MMMEA FZE.

Q: How to move all commits from a branch to another? The scenario is this:
X1--X2--X3--X4--X5--X6 (master)
             \
              D1--D2--D3 (dev)
                       \
                        B1--B2--B3 (bug1)

I want to move all commits from bug1 branch to master branch and get rid of bug1 branch. In this case:
X1--X2--X3--X4--X5--X6--B1--B2--B3 (master)
             \
              D1--D2--D3 (dev)

What's the best option to do this?

A: It should be a classic case of git rebase --onto
git rebase --onto master dev bug1
git checkout master
git merge bug1 # fast-forward merge

See also the ProGit Book for another example of rebase --onto.

Spring is here, the C'ville City Market is open – what a wonderful PLACE! – Live & Learn!
Spring is here, the C'ville City Market is open – what a wonderful PLACE!
The City Market opened today marking the start of the 2013 season.
The weather was beautiful this morning, and downtown Charlottesville was filled with people, music, and food. How nice to live in a PLACE where a simple trip downtown feels like a special holiday excursion!
My favorite place for enjoying the Charlottesville Downtown Mall is the corner seat in the angled window in Baggby's Gourmet Sandwiches. From this seat in the comfort of air conditioning one can see City Spaces, City Hall, the carousel, the Free Speech Monument, and the Pavilion – "people watching" at its best! At the same time you can enjoy coffee or cold drinks, tasty sandwiches, and fat-free frozen yogurt. You may choose to sit at the outdoor tables, but on a hot day after walking up and down the mall, I always go for the AC!
