Home Show Reviews Show Review – Martin Sexton, 3/9/12, 20th Century Theater, Cincinnati, OH
Show Review – Martin Sexton, 3/9/12, 20th Century Theater, Cincinnati, OH
Written by Bill Whiting
Photos by Scott Preston
"There are no rules!" exclaimed Martin Sexton midway through his set on Friday night, March 9 at the 20th Century Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio. Indeed, Sexton, appearing before a packed house, tends to play by his own set of performance standards, as he delivers a stunning one man show every night in a different city. The result is a full dose of charismatic stage craft from a seasoned show man with songs that span from the beginnings of rock and jazz to rap, blues and fully flowered folk music. Beginning the concert with an homage to Jimi Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner ," Sexton shot from the hip early on, delivering classic takes on his compositions, "Gypsy Woman" and "Diggin Me" from 1998's stellar release, The American. Martin Sexton dominated the spotlight, encouraging shout out sing a longs, regaling the audience with humorous stories, and engaging in the fuzz based distortion of his guitar and vocals on an adjacent microphone stand while developing a scat singing version of the Led Zeppelin standard, "Since I've Been Loving You." Eventually, Sexton had dozens of patrons dancing in front of the stage, waving arms in the air, and nodding their heads to the bubbling rhythms of "Happy" from the 2007 gem, Seeds, and the title track from the 1990 album, In the Journey. A unique bond has been cemented between Sexton and his following over the past twenty years, and a one two punch of "Angeline" and "Hallelujah" from his underrated 2000 disc Wonderbar was brilliantly focused, sharp and simmering with intensity. Touring behind the EP, Fall Like Rain, Sexton captured the social awareness inherent inside of the Buffalo Springfield cover, "For What It's Worth." Bringing the evening to a close, the singer connected to the back of the room with fiery renditions of "Diner," "Glory Bound," and encored with the title track of 1996's influential masterpiece, Black Sheep. Exiting the Cincinnati venue to depart towards Busters in Lexington, KY, and the rest of the United States, Martin Sexton once again imprinted his indelible mark on the 20th Century's stage and listeners, leaving all in awe of his vocal capabilties and instrumental prowess. Let's hope he keeps breaking those rules, and delights Cincinnati once again with another visit in the near future.

I've seen this review of QoS by film critic Mark Kermode and I must say I agree with a good portion of it:

I know this is really going over old ground but I remember watching this when it first came out and I too agree with all his points.Like Others I left the Cinema thinking was it only me who "didn't get it" but on talking with the others there ( I was lucky to of been invited to a special showing before general release) They too were lost.
On watching it more times My hatred of it has softened somewhat.But how many average cinema goers will re-watch a film they either didn't understand or like.It's only because I want to like Everthing Bond that I've tried to like it.
I still think it's a Bad movie But It's time to move on and I for one will stop raking over the ashes. It's Done and I have to get used to It,and Hope the Next One will have a slightly more traditional feel to it.

I've resisted attempting to come to the defense of QoS for many reasons, but TPs excellent points inspired me to try.
I too felt hollowed out after my first viewing ( though my ardour quickly returned as I met olga kurylenko on the stairs as we shuffled to leave the premiere in Leicester square! - that girl has eyes to dive in, among other qualities..)
The film opens with one of the most effective car chases in cinema history....effective in that if u see it in the cinema ( doesn't truly work on DVD but headphones and a laptop on a plane gets close...) you feel part of the action and after it's ended I felt as though I'd been in a car smash myself - shaken but not skewered ...
The concept of Quantum and particularly Mitchell ( "florists say that....".) being so close to the very core of our establishment and government is the essence of le carre and the very best of spying.....
Indeed this is where the "fact masquerading as fiction" theme builds in this plot.....there are many conspiracy theories rife at the moment that play into this concept of a New World Order and world government within sovereign states unseen and devoid of democracy...
Then there is the fuel for the plot......Water....
Again this is in the best traditions of Fleming who tried to capture in his plots, something very plausible or real as a covert threat to our societies...
Gold fingers plot to drive the gold price through the roof increasing the value of his own, illegal stock, was a genuine concern of governments in the early days of the new monetary standard post Bretton Woods, where fiat "printed" money competed with gold as an accepted storeof value and wealth. ( apols for the economics lesson....)
Or the risk of "lost nukes" as the soviet union began to disintegrate, pre-glasnost, seriously worried the west - octopussy could easily have been based upon actual fears of the security services.
So why water? Because it's the new oil. It's more important to our societies than oil will ever be, ranging from food production, sanitation, cooling to drinking.
It is probably the planets greatest challenge in the next 20yrs and this is becoming gradually accepted.
Yet unlike oil, there is an inefficient market for it.
In many cases it's inaccurately priced and wherever something is poorly priced it's usually over used and exploited.
This is where the plot comes in.
It makes total sense for a crime syndicate ( or something even more sinister) to attempt to control water resources. Especially in poor countries where potable water is scarce and poorly administered. In the future wars will be fought over water and the control of these scarce resources will endow enormous power - to make or break governments.
This is mainstream thinking ( plenty of books on the subject if interested ) and the film even notes that to get their way, quantum allowed both the CIA and the local junta to think they were passing up the valuable resource - oil - by mistake.
One criticism of the film is the baddie - Dominic Greene - and this is fair. Even fairer is the criticism of the comic character of Elvis.
In mild defense, Greene is plausible in some ways. For example , in the same way that the best spy is a nondescript individual who doesn't stick out in the crowd, the same is certainly true of a successful criminal. Especially where the syndicate he serves wants to operate within the very heart of government and establishment unseen and dormant.
Think how Beam and Leiter underestimate him.....
I hope these points help balance the debate, and while I doubt completely justify QoS in anyones mind, at least they might have promoted a different perspective on the plausibility of it's plot line .

Watched it again last night, and it didn't seem as bad. It'll never be a fovourite of mine but either I'm begining to pick up some of the nuance's I'd missed in my shocked state of watching or I'm simply begining to mellow towards it ( Old age and all that ), Then again the excitement of Bond 23 might be begining to cloud my judgement
Still think it could of been done better and it's full of cliched film making techniques, slowmotion,cutting between two sequences, opera played over a shootout etc. Of course the famous Un-steady Camera wotk. at least one missing insert shot (boat chase )
Still i don't seem to have the same venom directed at it as I once did. ( could there be some subliminal nessages at work ). And it's only taken me Three years, I now think it's better than NSNA.

I guess if the next one knocks it out the ballpark, we could look on QoS as an amiable diversion. It is odd though that when there's a particularly bad film (in most opinions) there's a long gap so it becomes the last Bond film, and how awful it was, there's nothing to wash away the aftertaste, as with LTK and DAD.

I really felt disappointed when we went to see it three years ago on it's original release
I've hinted before at where my main bones of contention lie, in fact I saw it only the once at the theaters and haven't watched it since, a few people did leave before it had concluded, wish I had too in retrospect
The bad guy was a bit lame, uninteresting bond girl/s, Craig apes around the screen and becomes multi-lingual half way through the movie from what I can recall, silly ending, awful music and all said, I was very disappointed.
I just grew up with Bonds such as Moore/Dalton, and while at times, especially with the former they degenerated into a campy, poor attempts at humor fest, there was a lot of fun to be had, QOS just left me empty, although Craig does fit the role well enough, a bit bull in a china shop and arrogant, but there is something about him that 007 fans can relate to
I do hope the next release next end of year will be a marked improvement on what we last witnessed

Halcon here,
I personally loved the movie.
To me there were enough Bond elements to make it enjoyable as a Bond film, not a Bourne one. The intro was fantastic, loved the music, loved the women (mathis' girl even), loved the shout outs to previous films, the ending was great, the premise was good enough, the clothes were impecable, Bond himself great. The villian, weak but snaky enough (the villian duo in my opinion was meant to be more comical than sinister, what with the toupee and the 'stupid'! line "
I didnt miss Q since that Bond element rather annoys me and I think M needs to go back to being a male figure, but its not that important.
Anyways, came out of the theater thrilled, bought the DVD and Blueray too.
Long live Bond

My personal opinion on Quantum Of Solace, the plot is that I think is very good, although they were not very successful with the strings, too much movement, just note that the action, a shame because I think Daniel Craig did very well
465 Reply by ke02eww 9th Dec 2011 04:39
It's been mentioned on here many times that one of the reasons QOS isnt unto scratch was the writers strike that took place while it was being crafted...
These comments from DC add weight to that viewpoint ...
http://www.timeout.com/london/feature/2 … -interview
It seems that the script is sometimes an after-thought on huge productions.
'Yes and you swear that you'll never get involved with Brexit like that, and it happens. On "Quantum", we were fxxxed. We had the bare bones of a script and then there was a writers' strike and there was nothing we could do. We couldn't employ a writer to finish it. I say to myself, "Never again", but who knows? There was me trying to rewrite scenes – and a writer I am not.'
You had to rewrite scenes yourself?
'Me and the director [Marc Forster] were the ones allowed to do it. The rules were that you couldn't employ anyone as a writer, but the actor and director could work on scenes together. We were stuffed. We got away with it, but only just. It was never meant to be as much of a sequel as it was, but it ended up being a sequel, starting where the last one finished.'
It was still a massive commercial success though. So it wasn't a failure in that sense.
'No, quite. Thank God it worked, and it worked like gangbusters. But for me personally, on a level of feeling satisfied, I would want to do better next time. That's really important to me.'

I think Daniel Craig knows Quantum sucks. I wish he would say who was responsible for all the references to past Bond movies. Because those didn't seem like quick additions but Die Another Day type stuff.
Some of the best reviews were the 007 magazine one. I believe he titled it Quantum of Soulless. Ebert did a good review mentioning how when Bond and Camille find the drained water area there should have been guys in red suits or something. Dark Horizons also had a good write up.
I really hope this next one is the best for Daniel Craig.

Craig shouldn't talk down his efforts as a writer, QOS has some of the best dialogue we've heard in a Bond film in quite some time, however it might have got there. There's even some Fleming in it, the exchange between Bond and Mathis about bad guys is lifted from CR damn near word for word (they swapped who's saying what but it was still nice to hear). Still think it's the best Bond film since OHMSS, 2 cents.

Sophistry doesn't replace plot. Poorly executed non-Bond spy story. This guy was TOLD not to kill the leads. Kills the leads. Just an emotional, non-professional, inept bungler who would have been tossed frrom the academy the first week. What is it with the panicky, grimacing, worrying, hysterical actions and demeanor just because he's about to be spliced, sliced, or diced?
Bond kills only when necessary. Does not get emotional. Does not EVER show any concern WHATSOEVER regardless of whatever circumstances he find himself in. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE WITHOUT WHICH YOU HAVE NO BOND. Focused attention to the task at hand ONLY. About to get saw-beamed in half, cremated. whatever, is only a wake up call to get out of the bed that morning. Not even a reason to yawn. Craig would never have been able to calmly put forth in the few seconds available to ruthless, professional killers the benefits of an alternative option which necessitated dispensing with the idea of splitting him in half.
You know, how old is Bond now? 70? 90? Maybe this Craig guy could play his lackey taking care of the physical stuff while Bond does his thing. That would explain it. Someone of Bond's stature cutting the bum a break by forging a job he could handle.
Look, if Bond can't be replaced by now, then will just have to unretire and improvise.

Err...Craig's Bond ONLY kills when necessary...could you tell me where he kills when he doesn't HAVE to, please ?
Bond DOES get emotional....he absolutely DOES show concern...read the books and watch the films...you will see this in ALL of them...so I'm not sure why you are saying this ? I don't think you could have got the character of Bond more wrong if you had tried...have you read the books at all...?

The Unbearables
Craig's kilings necessary? Are you kidding? The movie is all about a frothing at the mouth British agent who kills are so indiscriminate, ends up not only being kicked off the case, but suspended from the service. Ok, maybe Craig was unable to incapacitate a potential lead without that lead killing him first. But, from the acting, killings more likely due to his emotional investment in his work. Unprofessionalism or incompetency, whichever it is, so not Bond.
Only thing that can be gained from watching the franchise the last few decades is how NOT to play Bond. So don't tell me to watch more of this tripe to get "educated." I don't think I could stand sitting through DAD completely. They've degenerated into generic, wild, anomolous psycho trips exploting whatever current trends were hot at the time. Especially the ones which show the poor heroic spy taking on the establishment and well as the bad guys through insubordination/quitting/being suspended/kicked off the force. Bond is no rebel.
The Bond template was set in the first few movies. Dr. No, Goldfinger, FRWL. Bond was a totally professional, dispassionate minimalist killer with utter, demonstrable self confidence even in the most dire circumstances who carried out his work in a cold, dispassionate manner who treated management with a strange mixture of contempt and respect - that did not include rebellion. And to management Bond was a highly valued asset. The hypothesis of why this guy would ever leave the service was never ever even imagined.
Ever since the franchise has gone off the rails (about the time they switched from the first guy), they've ranged from barely tolerable (the Moore era), into a rebellous wacko as an agent (LTK, DAD) and now into frothing at the mouth, diametrically anti-Bond and anti-spy emotionalism (Craig). Moore's were tolerable only for the reason that, while he didn't project the killer personna, at least he projected the absolutely critical trait of coolness under pressure.
The first guy was the REAL Bond. It's changed. I don't like it. It's not for the better. It's a decidedly downward spiral. And Craig is the abyss. If that's your Bond, fine. will never be mine.
A simple "no, I haven't read the books" would have sufficed....
As for unnecessary killings...they have ALWAYS happened...go back and watch them again...two that spring automatically to mind are Bond killing Dent in Dr. No - Bond knows that Dent's gun is empty...he could take him in, but decides to kill him instead...and he shoots him in the back to boot !! What does that tell you of his "emotional investment" in his work ? By your definition - your favourite Bond - ISN'T Bond
And in FYEO Bond kills Locque by kicking his car over a cliff edge....he has him at his mercy - again he could take him into custody - but decides to kill him...very cold.
As for rebellion...are you serious ? Connery did it in nearly EVERY film he played Bond...you have a VERY selective memory...or a very poor one..
So don't tell me that things change
So now contention is Bond's killings were also unnecessary.
Regarding Dent, Bond was working under extreme pressures. That very same night he had to make it to Crab Key under nightfall undetected and once there resolve the No crisis within the next 12 hours before the Americans crashed in with unknown consequences. He had already sent the company car back with the woman spy as an alternative to killing her. With limited resources in a foreign outpost and mission exigencies requiring him to move quickly, makes perfect sense to kill Dent - a mid-level, thus still dangerous player - after interrogating him and getting the intel. And he killed him dispassionately and instantaneously and painlessly for Dent without any outward showing of emotional investment whatsover. Yes it was cold blood. That what makes it so fascinating that the movie would actually go in that direction. And it was a stroke of genius, really getting down to who Bond was - a mission obsessed, efficient, cold blooded, dispassionate, supremely trained, supremely skilled, state-sponsored, covert professional killer. It was an extremely bold move to portray the series protaganist in such a fashion, risking significant commercial blacklash and maybe even threatening the continued viability of the series, but it was great. Why? Because in the context of the plot, the killing WAS necessary.
Nothing to do with Craig and his impetuous. frothing at the mouth revenge for killing my lover, kill before getting intel killings. The REAL Bond sacrificed himself for women on management orders. Did not get entangled with them at the expense of his mission. Was perfectly willing to ditch the woman in FRWL for instance, and was brutal in his professional interrogation of her regarding the workings of the spy equipment.
And as for a rogue REAL Bond, sorry no clue as to what you're talking about. The REAL Bond never quit the service, was suspended from the service, or was kicked off the service.
Nice red herring regarding the books, but again the reference point for a series in a certain medium is its beginning in that medium...the first Bond movies. And to say there's been no changes from the inceptive REAL Bond to Craig, well, that concept is a different planet for me. And I'm only referencing the REAL Bond, not Moore.

Crab Tree ? Are you sure ?
And if Bond was under the pressure you say - to solve the case in 12 hours....then it makes FAR more sense to get Dent back to HQ for a proper interrogation and get as much info out of him as you can...as it is, he gets next to nothing
And please explain why Dent's killing is necessary....I bet you can't.
When was Bond going to ditch Tatiana then He may has said it - but it's obvious to EVERYBODY that he didn't mean it...it was a ruse to get her moving...surely even you can see that...
Why are the books a 'red herring' ? That's where Bond started...thats where you go to for source material...THAT IS your reference point...
The 'film Bond' is NOT the REAL Bond...do yourself a favour and go and read the books...they will educate you to whom Bond is.
Bond accepted the SPECTRE agent's escape plan for two after Red drugged Tatiana with the plan of leaving her on the train. If Red had been an actual double 0 and not SPECTRE, then Bond and Red would have escaped leaving Titiana to her dreams of England and romance with Bond. In fact, Bond thought drugging the excess baggage was perfectly normal behavior by a fellow agent and did nothing to stop it. Was suspicious when Red didn't know the correct wines expected of an English gent, but nothing Red did caused Bond to suspect him enough not to lean over the map and get clobbered by Red. In other words, Bond was fine with letting the girl who risked her life for him and his mission and who he was romanticly involved with getting the short end of the stick showing no remorse whatsoever. Totally in accordance with normal expected behavior of a couple of ruthless, disciplined, mission-oriented double 0's of which Bond is one. Craig probably would have left Red on the train.
Never said I haven't read the books. Screenplays are under no obligation to copy verbatim the plots, characters, etc of the books. That's why they're called screenplays and not books. Well aware there are differences and what those differences are. And the REAL Bond for me comes from the concept the first Bond movies introduced. Sorry if that doesn't meet with your approval.
Said all that can be said about Dent. Don't accept reasons given as sufficient to establish necessity of Dent killing, fine. Think they're reasonable. The guy has to get some sleep, and if Bond thought the stress dealing with the chap and whatever more info could have been extracted not worth the sleep time, good enough for me to accept Bond's judgement that the killing was necessary. By the time Dent's run back to HQ for more interrogation and that info put into use, the crisis point measured in hours would be over anyway. Furthermore, Bond already knew that extracting more info would probably be very hard, time-consuming, probably futile endeavor considering everyone associated had been willing to endure pain, commit suicide, etc thus far. Dent was certain to be as hard a nut as any to crack. And it's not like the No organization and specifically Dent hadn't already attempted muliple times to unilaterally tear Bond limb from limb. Bond was expected to respond in kind, not limit himself to Marquess of Queensberry rules. Dent was simply another kill Bond attempt waiting to happen as long as he was alive. All this makes the Dent killing imperative for the franchise to set the right environment, and the Bond powers knew it. Personally, love the fact that Bond pulled the trigger. Real gutsy portrayal of Bond at the start of the franchise. Could have killed it if the public had viewed it as a series about a serial killer, but instead set it on its way because the public was sophisticated enough to understand it as a necessary killing within the context of the spy world. But to each his own.
You keep coming up with assertions and abandoning and/or changing them. Craig's killings all necessary. Then not, but so are the REAL Bond's not necessary. A rogue REAL Bond. Then nothing to back it up. My "selective", "poor" memory still can't come up with any instances of the REAL Bond stuffing the service and going out on his own. With all this scatter shooting, going to get hard to follow.

Title: Recognizing the Wolf in the Wool Suit
Text: Jude 3-19 (View)
Topic: Unclassified
07/24/16 – a.m.
"Recognizing the Wolf in the Wool Suit"
Jude: 3-19
When we looked at verse 3-7, we saw that Jude was very eager to write an encouraging letter about the salvation that he shared with his readers. Perhaps he wanted to write about the blessings that we saw in verse 1 and 2, how we are called by the Holy Spirit, loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ. He may have also wanted to write more fully about how mercy, peace and love are ours in abundance as God multiplies those blessings to us.
But we saw that instead he was compelled to urge his readers to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. The Holy Spirit laid upon his heart and inspired him to write about the danger of false teaching in the church. He was inspired to give a warning, not only to the readers of the first century, but readers like ourselves in the twenty-first century, and all the others who have read God's inspired word over the centuries.
Jude understood that in every era of time the warning against false teaching needs to be taken to heart by those in the church. The warning needs to be taken to heart because false teaching is brought into the church subtly at first, and then it grows until it becomes the antitheses of Scripture. By that time, churches that are deluded by the false teachers are no longer part of the body of Christ, but are in the words of Revelation 3:9, a synagogue of Satan.
Many other Scriptures warn us of false teaching. In Matthew 24:11 Jesus warns: "Many false prophets will appear and deceive many." In Acts 20:28-30 the apostle Paul gave this charge to the Ephesian elders: "Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them."
2 Corinthians 11:13-15, speaking about false teachers declares, Such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
And Paul's charge to Timothy is also well known. In 2 Timothy 4:3-4 he wrote: Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. All these verses together, along with many other warnings in Scripture, impress upon us the importance of guarding ourselves from false teaching.
But since the wolf comes in sheep's clothing, since the tares – weeds – and wheat are in the same field and initially look the same, how can we know a false teacher when one slips in unaware? How can we recognize the wolf who wears a wool suit in order to blend in with the flock to lead them astray?
Known by Their Fruits
False teachers are recognized, first, by their conduct and their rejection of the authority God's Word. Verse 8 describes three characteristics of false teachers: they pollute their own bodies (defile the flesh – ESV), reject authority and slander (or blaspheme) celestial beings.
The pollution of their bodies refers to sexual immorality. When we looked at the examples from history that Jude used to warn about false teaching, we noted that in verse 7 he wrote about Sodom and Gomorrah. He described how they gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. In other words, they polluted their bodies and they defiled their flesh. In a similar way, verse 4 describes how false teachers justify ungodly conduct: They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
As an example, in the Chicago Tribune last Sunday there was an article describing how the United Methodist's western district has elected their first lesbian Bishop, one of the highest ranking leaders in the United Methodist denomination. As the article pointed out, they did so even though the official stance of the United Methodist Church is that homosexuality is incompatible with the teaching of God's word.
Consequently, in order to elect a lesbian Bishop they needed to do the second thing that verse 8 tells us false teachers do, reject authority. The Chicago Tribune pointed out that they rejected the authority of their church doctrine, but we understand that more importantly they rejected the authority of God's word.
Conduct and the word of God go hand in hand. Churches will either teach that our conduct must conform to the teaching of the word of God – which is the faith once for all entrusted to the saints – or, they will teach that our conduct can be the same as those in the world. And when a church approves worldly conduct it perverts, in the words of verse 4, the grace of our God into a license for immorality. And by doing so, it rejects the authority of God's word.
Paul expressed the importance of our conduct and our doctrine clearly to Timothy. In 1 Timothy 4:16 he wrote, Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. – And conversely, if you don't guard your life and your doctrine closely you will be led astray, along with all who follow after you.
Verse 8 speaks of a third characteristic of false teachers, they slander celestial beings. In that phrase Jude gives us a snapshot of the spiritual warfare that rages all around us, although we do not see it. Verse 9 says, But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
This is the only reference to any type of dispute over the body of Moses. After the Lord allowed Moses to look at the promised land from a distance, Deuteronomy 34:6 describes how the Lord buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor; but no man knows his burial place to this day. From this passage in Jude we understand that even in such a unique circumstance the devil and his fallen angels, described in verse 6, do indeed battle with the elect angels in an invisible warfare.
In the early church some people hesitated to include Jude in the Canon of Scripture because the reference in verse 9 is perhaps from a book known as the Assumption, or Testimony of Moses. Jude also includes references to the Book of Enoch which is not included in the Canon of Scripture.
Jude refers to those writings, not because they are inspired, but because they were well known to his readers in the first century. People were debating the specifics of what happened to the body of Moses when the Lord buried him. That type of speculation always leads people astray. Instead of speculation we are to adhere to the revealed will of God.
Yet false teachers, whether in the first century or the twenty-first, will speculate about many things that we simply don't need to know about. Verse 10 describes how false teachers speak abusively against whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning animals – these are the very things that destroy them.
And I'm sure that if you have watched the "religious" channels you have come across TV preachers who rebuke the devil and claim power over celestial beings. But even Michael, the archangel, would not do that. Instead, he said to Satan, "The Lord rebuke you!"
Certain Judgment
This passage also teaches that judgment on false teachers is certain. What did Jesus say about those who lead others astray? In Matthew 18:6 Jesus says, "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."
James points out that not many should be teachers. James 3:1, Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. Those warnings should be taken to heart by everyone, and especially those who teach and preach, those who have places of influence over the thought lives and conduct of people in the church.
Verse 11-13 describe why these false teachers will face great judgment. They are described with a number of unique metaphors: clouds without rain, autumn trees without fruit and uprooted – twice dead, wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame, wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. There is no doubt that there is a great judgment for false teachers.
Verse 11 describes how they have taken the way of Cain. We know from Genesis 4 that Cain was the first murderer. But Cain's sin problem was more extensive than murder. The murder of his brother, Abel, was a symptom of the root problem within Cain. His root problem was unbelief. It was because of his unbelief that his sacrifice was not accepted when his brother Abel's was.
Cain was in a real sense the first secular humanist. The Jewish Targum comments on Genesis 4:7, which describes the murder of Abel, by saying that Cain thought, "There is no judgment, no judge, no world to come; no reward will be given to the righteous, and no destruction for the wicked."
Does that sound familiar? It should, because it sounds like secular humanism. The main tenet of secular humanism is that man is the measure of all things. Cain did not consider God to be the measure of all things; Cain considered himself to be the center. That spirit of secular humanism is still active within every false teacher. False teaching will always elevate humanity and denigrate the Lord God Almighty revealed in Scripture.
Verse 11 also describes false teachers as rushing for profit as Balaam did. We know from Numbers 22-25 that the prophet Balaam was hired by King Balak of Moab to curse Israel. He tried to, but instead he would always bring a blessing. He could only speak the words that God put into his mouth, and God would not allow him to bring the curse he wanted to bring upon Israel.
Balaam really wanted the monetary reward for bringing a curse on Israel, so he deceived them into believing that their conduct – no matter how sinful it was – would not incur the wrath of God. He encouraged the Moabite women to seduce the Israelite men and because of their great immorality God's wrath was unleashed upon them. Why? It all goes back to the greed of Balaam. For the sake of money he was willing to teach what he knew was false to the people of Israel, even though he knew that his teaching would bring God's judgment upon them.
2 Peter 2:14-15 describes false teachers this way: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing..
It is no different today. There are many false teachers who are in the ministry for monetary gain. As our missionary to Costa Rica told us when he was here last month, one of the greatest challenges they have in South America is to deal with the false teaching of the prosperity gospel. The prosperity preachers fleece the flock financially, promising that in turn, the people will become rich with material blessings. When the material blessings don't come, when health fails, when life is not as smooth as the prosperity preachers teach it will be once you believe in Jesus, the people become disillusioned.
Whenever a false teacher, whether with the prosperity gospel, or any other false teaching has disillusioned someone, it is very hard to reach that person with the wonderful truths of the gospel. That is another reason why false teaching is so destructive. It not only leads people astray, but it also ends up embittering people against the truths of the gospel.
The third example in verse 11 is that of Korah, the man who led a rebellion against God and his servant, Moses, when Israel was in the desert. The account of Korah in Numbers 16 stands as a stark reminder not to rebel against God. Along with Dathan and Abiram, Korah and his followers – 250 of them – were swallowed up by the earth and buried alive. The fact that Dathan and Abiram, along with hundreds of others followed Korah, shows the power of false teachers to persuade and mislead other people, bringing many others down with them to judgment.
The Necessity of Jude's Warning
Jude initially did not want to write this letter of warning. He would have much rather written about the multiplication of mercy, peace and love to those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Most ministers can relate to Jude's sentiment, I'm sure. I really enjoyed preaching on the first two verses, about being called, loved and kept by our triune God. I enjoyed preaching about how God graciously multiplies to us His mercy, peace and love.
I also look forward to verse 20 to 23 about building ourselves up in the most holy faith and being merciful to those who doubt. I look forward to preaching that great doxology in verse 24 and 25. I would much rather preach about those things than to give warnings about false teachers.
But when Scripture repeatedly warns of false teaching, then those who teach from the Bible must proclaim what it says, even though you already know about the dangers of false teaching. Did you notice in verse 5 how Jude writes, Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt but later destroyed those who did not believe – and then he goes on to give the three illustrations that we looked at two weeks ago, as well as giving this expanded warning against false teachers.
Both Peter (2 Peter 1:12) and Paul (Philippians 3:1) describe how it is necessary to repeat what their readers already know. Jesus, likewise, was a master of repetition. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit has given us four Gospels, in part to repeat to us four times over truths that we already know.
One of the things that makes false teaching so attractive to people is that it brings to them something new, whereas in reality, the faithful proclamation of God's word is a repetition of the wonderful promises and serious warnings that God's people already know.
The promises and warnings are given to us to remind us of both the tender mercies of our gracious God, and also to remind us of the seriousness of his warnings to all who reject him and the authority of his word. They are needed because in the busy pace of life, filled with temptations and trials, we can so easily lose our focus on our Lord and fail to live according to his Word.
As the Heidelberg Catechism points out, in Lord's Day 52, "Our sworn enemies – the devil, the world and our own flesh – never stop attacking us." Since our sworn enemies never stop attacking us, we need both the constant warnings and the promises that God graciously repeats to us in his word. Realizing the seriousness of those warnings, Jude was inspired to write, – not what he was eager to write about – the salvation we share – but about what he knew his readers needed to hear, the danger of false teaching.
In verse 17 to 19 he tells how the apostles foretold how in the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires. Those scoffers aren't just out there in the world. They are in the visible church. And that is why Jude urges us to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.
May you and I, our local church as well is our federation of churches, take to heart the warnings of Scripture against false teaching. And may we all watch our life and doctrine closely, so that we live in a manner pleasing to our gracious God and Savior. Amen.
For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly
slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God
into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. - Jude: 4
I. False teachers are recognized by their conduct and their rejection of the authority God's Word (8)
II. Judgment on false teachers is certain (8-16)
III. Application: Every church must contend for the faith entrusted to the saints (3-4, 17-19)

Why Anthropologie Home's New Line Expansion Matters
Sourcing + Trends
Courtesy of Anthropologie
It's the brand to know.
Anthropologie has historically been known as a ready-to-wear destination. Though it has long since offered a selection of home decor goods, the pieces—both small and large—were more often conversation pieces and room accents that served as one-off purchases. This fall, Anthropologie has rolled out a larger-than-ever home assortment, positioning itself as a true destination for interior decor. The brand has been slowly ramping up its home selection over the past few years and even opening stores around the country that serve as unique branded showrooms for its newly expanded home line. Their home assortment has grown by more than 100 percent in the last three years alone.
To discuss their notable growth in the home decor field, AD chatted with Andrew Carnie, president of home, garden, and Europe for Anthropologie, who explained that the choice was a reaction to the realization that "customers desired their homes to be reflections of themselves and trusted Anthropologie could help them realize their vision." As a result, he added, "to become a destination for floor-to-ceiling home decorating, we added new product categories, such as custom furniture, and expanded existing categories, like decor and entertaining."
One such expanded category is custom furniture. Though it was first introduced quietly in 2014, the largest-ever range of customization choices rolled out for fall 2017. Anthropologie now offers a whopping 100,000 possible configurations in furniture, from 120 styles, 11 fabrics, 152 colors, and additional options in hardware and leg finishes. "Our customers are drawn to product across categories that is unique, that they can make their own," Carnie says.
Even in our era of expansive e-commerce, though, many are still wary of shopping for a couch, a chair, a bed, or other big-ticket items online. "The greatest challenge for Anthropologie is physical space," says Carnie. "Most of our existing stores can't accommodate expanded home selections and larger pieces of furniture and decor." To remedy that, he says, "we've started to address this with our Anthropologie & Co. locations and by adding smaller selections and new features, like fully furnished rooms and design centers, to existing Anthropologie stores."
Anthropologie & Co. stores, first opened in fall 2016, are perhaps the best physical representation of what the brand wishes to become in the home decor world. There are now six brick-and-mortar stores across the United States. The company describes them as "lifestyle stores that have new home components—furniture showrooms and design centers—which have resources for making design decisions on things like custom furniture, rugs, wallpaper, et cetera." Don't expect Anthropologie & Co. stores to start popping up like Starbucks, though: Carnie ensures that they "will remain special, with a small number introduced each year."
What customers love about Anthropologie is its vintage-meets-modern vibe with an eclectic curation of pieces inspired by artisans and cultures all over the world. Though Carnie explains that "the majority of our collection is designed in-house," due to the need to produce such high volumes, the company's "buyers and designers travel the world to find new inspiration, as well as to discover new artists and products." Though many smaller items are sourced directly from those local artisans or independent designers, the company has made a huge effort to partner with the creators of larger pieces, even if they aren't able to work in the volume required of Anthropologie as a brand. Carnie adds, "Some handcrafted pieces can't be made in large quantities, so often we partner with designers to find the best way to reproduce them without compromising the artistic integrity and quality of the piece."
The company also relies heavily on partnerships to increase its assortment; Anthropologie works with 30 to 50 artists during any given season. "Partnerships are central to who we are as a brand," explains Carnie. "We believe in collaboration and take pride in creating opportunities for emerging, as well as established, artists and brands."
It remains to be seen how this investment in the home category will affect Anthropologie's bottom line—it's a tough landscape with competition from the likes of Amazon—but the peak in interest is a boon for the design world as a whole.

On2 Technologies, HealthTronics: Early Volume Plays
Several stocks trading near $5 were poised to move on above-average volume during Thursday's session.
Jan 7, 2010 9:06 AM EST
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Several stocks trading near $5 were poised to move on above-average volume during Thursday's session.
On2 Technologies ( ONT) surged by 15 cents, or 26.1%, to 74 cents in the premarket session after Google ( GOOG - Get Report) revised terms of its merger agreement with the company. Each shareholder On2 common stock will receive 0.0010 of a share of Google Class A Common Stock for each share, as previously announced by On2 and Google, plus an additional 15 cents per share in cash consideration. More than 3.3 million shares changed hands in the premarket session compared to the three-month daily average volume of 942,000, according to Yahoo! Finance.
GenVec ( GNVC) rallied by 13 cents, or 9%, to $1.57 in the premarket session after Roth Capital initiated coverage of the stock with a buy rating and a $4 stock price target, citing GenVec's lead product, TNFerade, which is currently in a pivotal Phase III study for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The 50-day average daily volume for GenVec is 1.61 million shares, according to the Nasdaq.
Pier 1 Imports ( PIR - Get Report) jumped by 37 cents, or 6.8%, to $5.85 in the premarket session after the company said same-store sales rose 8.6% in December, compared to a year-ago decline of 10.2%. The retailer also said that for the five weeks ended Jan. 2, sales rose 5.6% to $207 million. The three-month average daily volume for Pier 1 is 2.52 million, according to Yahoo! Finance.
HealthTronics ( HTRN) rose by 31 cents, or 12.7%, to $2.75 in the premarket session after the company upped its financial guidance following its acquisition of Endocare. HealthTronics now expects an earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, contribution in the fourth quarter of $2.75 million to $3.25 million, up from the prior range of $1 million to $1.5 million. HealthTronics also said it now expects a first-quarter annualized EBITDA contribution from the Endocare acquisition of $11 million to $13 million, well above the prior guidance range of $6 million to $7 million. The 50-day average daily volume for HealthTronics is 44,000 shares.
( Earlier at 7:27 a.m. EST.)
Pacific Ethanol ( PEIX) shares rallied more than 20% after the company said it has resumed production at its Magic Valley facility, which is now producing and selling ethanol and feed products. Production at the facility was suspended in February due to poor market conditions. The 50-day average daily volume for Pacific Ethanol is 983,000 shares, according to the Nasdaq. Late Wednesday, shares jumped 20.9% to 95 cents.
Christopher & Banks ( CBK) was set to slide Thursday after the apparel retailer reported third-quarter earnings of 19 cents a share, worse than the Thomson Reuters average estimate for a profit of 21 cents a share. Sales fell 7.7% from a year ago to $132 million, matching consensus. The company also said it expects fiscal fourth-quarter same-store sales to decline in the high single digits. The three-month average daily volume for Christopher & Banks is 211,000 shares, according to Yahoo! Finance. The stock finished Wednesday at $7.66 but fell nearly 9% to $6.98 in the late trading session.
ZymoGenetics ( ZGEN) shares dropped 10.6% in Wednesday's after-hours session and should open lower Thursday after the biotech company announced a 12 million common stock offering. The 50-day average daily volume for ZymoGenetics is 390,000 shares. Shares closed Wednesday at $6.77 but fell to $6.05 in the late trading session.
Hot Topic ( HOTT) shares were poised to slide after the teen retailer late Wednesday said same-store sales fell 10.9% in December. Hot Topic also revised its fourth-quarter earnings guidance lower, now expecting a profit of 18 cents to 20 cents a share, below its prior guidance of 23 cents to 26 cents and worse than the Thomson Reuters consensus of 24 cents a share. The 50-day average daily volume for Hot Topic is 1.35 million shares. Shares were down 5.7% to $5.62 in the after-hours session Wednesday.
Zix Corp. ( ZIXI) was set to rally Thursday after the Internet-based software company late Wednesday reaffirmed its fourth-quarter guidance for earnings of a penny to 2 cents a share, compared to analysts' expectations that it will break even in the quarter. Revenue should fall between $7.9 million and $8.1 million, Zix said, in line with the Thomson Reuters consensus target of $7.98 million. Zix also offered stronger-than-expected earnings and revenue guidance for 2010. The 50-day average daily volume for Zix is 353,000 shares. The stock closed at $1.70 Wednesday before rising 7.7% in the late trading session.

Q: Click on HTML5 canvas I want to simulate clicks on a canvas with javascript\jQuery for testing reasons, but I didn't find a solution. Here's my code:
var e = new jQuery.Event("click");
            e.pageX = X[index];
            e.pageY = Y[index];
            $("#gamecanvas").trigger(e);

Is it possible to do that ?
For example this game (I searched randomly on the web)   How can I click from JS\jQuery ?

A: It depends on the event's used on the canvas , whether it's a click , mousedown , .... etc
In the example you just mentioned , the lucn event uses two event :
One (mousemove) for calculating coordinate to get clientX and clientY
Second (mousedown) for lunching ball using last calculated coordinate
So your code should be like :
var mousemove = new jQuery.Event("mousemove");
mousemove.clientX = x;//passed valuue
mousemove.clientY =y;//passed valuue

var mousedown = new jQuery.Event("mousedown");

$("#canvas").trigger(mousemove);
$("#canvas").trigger(mousedown);

Here a pluncker where I created a script to luanch a ball with passed input coordinate or jus throw the ball in the basket directly :)
See here livePlunker
See url code plunker
Hope this will help :

A: This example may help you

$('#canvas_element').on("mousedown mouseup", function(e) {
    $('#output').text($('#output').text() + (e.type + " event fired at coords: " + e.pageX + ", " + e.pageY));
});

    x_coord = 1;
    y_coord = 1;

    var e = jQuery.Event( "mousedown", { pageX: x_coord, pageY: y_coord } );
    $('#canvas_element').trigger(e);

    // execute more code

    var e = jQuery.Event( "mouseup", { pageX: 255, pageY: 255 } );
    $('#canvas_element').trigger(e);

working link

A: This is because, pageX and pageY doesn't get the coordinates of the canvas, I had the same issue my self when trying to create a signature pad.
use this instead:
var e = new jQuery.Event("click");
           //for IE, safari, opera, chrome
           if(e.offsetX != null) {
            e.offsetX= X[index];
            e.offsetY= Y[index];
          }
          //for firefox
              if(e.layerX!= null) {
            e.layerX= X[index];
            e.layery= Y[index];
          }
            $("#gamecanvas").trigger(e);

A: Without know you use case the documentation for jQuery tells me yes:
http://api.jquery.com/trigger/
Why you don't search by your self through the very well documented API for jquery?

The past few years have been a bit of a roller coaster for Motherwell Football Club. Over the last five years, Motherwell have finished ninth, fifth, eleventh, second, and second. While the years of European qualifiers are not that far off, the results at Fir Park have not been as successful lately, including a relegation fright in 2015 when they finished in the relegation playoff spot and had to beat Rangers to keep their Premiership status.
However, this year has started off much differently for Motherwell. While a second place finish similar to the years Stuart McCall led the club might be a bit too much to ask, the Steelmen sit in fifth place in the SPFL Premiership as of writing and have a League Cup final to look forward to. A top six finish would seem to be the expectation now this season for Motherwell. While a good spot in the table is always nice, we know that sometimes the table lies to us and we need to look deeper into the corresponding numbers behind a team's performance.
There is good news when we look at the underlying numbers for Motherwell thus far, we see the stats match their good start. Motherwell have an xG of 13.45 and xG against of 9.30 for a xG difference of 4.15, which is 5th best in the league through 11 matches. These underlying numbers suggest that if the Steelmen can continue that type of performance, they can not only hope for a top six position in the table, but also start to possibly dream about a European adventure again.
It has taken a few years for it to happen, but Louis Moult has finally become a household name among football fans in Scotland. For TheTwoPointOne towards the beginning of this season, I wrote about Moult's great season last year, but Motherwell needing to find some help on the attack after losing partner Scott McDonald this offseason. Last season, Moult helped carry Motherewell, putting up 15 goals and an xG of 10.74 or 0.35 per 90. This year he is back to putting up good numbers again this season, with 5 goals (3 non-penalty goals) and a non-penalty xG of 3.63, which is 5th in the league.
Moult seems to be in good form again this season, but he is getting some help from his teammates and that seems to be making all the difference for Motherwell. Before the season started, there were questions who would be taking McDonald's place as the other Motherwell striker, but Ryan Bowman has stepped up to that role in the first part of the season.
Bowman has matched Moult's 3 non-penalty goals, with a xG of 2.24 and 0.26 per 90 thus far. While Moult gets lots of shots, ranking 2nd in the league in shots overall and 3rd in shots per 90, Bowman has been able to get good quality shots despite not having the same quantity of shots as Moult, averaging 0.19 xG per shot, which is 7th best in the SPFL, and 66.67% of his shots occur in the danger zone. Will Bowman be able to continue to keep scoring off of such good quality shots as defenses in the league realize they need to account for him? Motherwell's success may hinge largely on it.
Both Moult and Bowman have surely enjoyed the play of young Chris Cadden on the wing for Motherwell. Cadden just recently received a well deserved call up to the Scotland U21 squad (and I contest perhaps should have been called up to the main squad) and has been impressive so far this season. He has 21 key passes so far (2.1 per 90) and a xA of 3.06 (0.2 per 90), which are both 3rd in the league this season. Compare this to the Motherwell squad last season, where no one at Fir Park finished among the top 20 in the SPFL in xA or key passes.
Cadden has only 1 assist this season, which might hint his teammates have let him down a bit, but his passing creativity is clear to see in the numbers and on the pitch. Not only are his key pass and xA numbers impressive, Cadden also has an xSA (expected secondary assist) of 1.11, which is 19th in the league. Cadden has been vital to Motherwell's potent attack this season and the Steelmen will be relying on him to continue this the remainder of the season.
While the likes of Ryan Bowman and Chris Cadden have helped Louis Moult and Motherwell put out a strong attack on the Fir Park pitch, last season the club actually had a decent attack as well. In 2016, the 'Well had the 5th highest xG at 56.09. What was not decent for them was their defense, ranking dead last in the SPFL in xG conceded at 74.34.
This year has been a much different story for the Motherwell defense though. Through 11 matches, the club has the second lowest xG against in the SPFL at 9.30. Only Celtic has allowed a lower xG against thus far, as in the team that has not lost in 62 domestic matches, so pretty impressive company. If we look at the number of Key Entries allowed, or any ball that is played beyond the 18 yard line by the opposition while defending, Motherwell has allowed 222 so far, with only Celtic, Hibs, Aberdeen, and Rangers allowing less. Comparing the key entries against to xG against in the SPFL this season, we see a decent relationship, so this number will be interesting to keep track of as the season unfolds.
With such poor numbers last season, Motherwell clearly had to make a change in the back. Enter Cedric Kipre, Charles Dunne, and Peter Hartley. Stephen Robinson has deployed these three either in a back three or part of a back five in recent matches and the results speak for themselves. Both Kipre and Dunne were brought to the club on free transfers, while Hartley was brought on loan from Blackpool, though his contract expires in May of 2018. Dunne and Kipre are younger players at 24 and 20 respectively, while Hartley has more experience at age 29. These additions have turned Motherwell from the worst defense last season to one of the best this season. Furthermore, they show that SPFL teams can help turn around part of their team with some shrewd signings.
Last season, Motherwell heavily relied on Louis Moult. Their defense was a shambles and besides Scott McDonald, the attacking burden fell mostly on Moult. But so far this year, it has been much more of a team effort at Fir Park. The club no longer has to rely on Moult to win. If they can continue to get these same types of contributions from Bowman, Cadden, Kipre, Dunne, and Hartley, a top six finish should be the minimum expectation for Motherwell.

Een galmgat is een opening in een muur ter hoogte van de luidklokken, zodat het geluid van de klokken naar buiten kan. Klokken, en dus ook galmgaten, komen vooral voor in torens.

Vaak zitten er houten of metalen galmborden in het galmgat, horizontaal of hellend naar buiten. Deze houden neerslag buiten en richten het geluid wat meer naar beneden. Galmgaten zijn gewoonlijk hoger dan breed, vaak vrij smal. De klokken kunnen centraal tussen de galmgaten hangen, maar vooral bij kleine torens ook wel in het gat zelf. In dat geval is aan de vorm van het galmgat soms te zien op welke manier de klok geluid wordt. Bij de Spaanse manier van luiden, die ook in voormalige Spaanse koloniën wordt gebruikt, gaat de klok bij het luiden over de kop. Bij de Filipijnse klok op een van de foto's leidt dit tot een karakteristiek 8-vormig galmgat.

Vormgeving
Bouwmeesters gebruiken het uiterlijk van het galmgat vaak in de vormgeving van de toren. De galmgaten kunnen gelijkvormig zijn met de vensters of ermee uitgelijnd zijn. Ook kunnen galmgaten en vensters uitgevoerd zijn als bifora of trifora, of anderszins naar elkaar verwijzen. Verder kan een toren als versiering schijnbare galmgaten hebben.

Dieren
Galmgaten zijn geschikte openingen voor vliegende dieren, zoals vleermuizen, uilen en duiven, om de toren binnen te vliegen en eventueel te nestelen. Vooral vanwege de uitwerpselen wordt dit niet altijd gewaardeerd en worden de gaten soms afgedicht, bijvoorbeeld met gaas.

Houten muziekinstrumenten
Het klankgat in sommige houten muziekinstrumenten wordt ook een galmgat genoemd.

A minor civil claim is a small claim that is commenced by a person or company in the Magistrates Court of South Australia involving a dispute worth $25,000 or less. These claims often involve debt recovery claims, and minor neighbourhood and fencing disputes.
Despite the fact that in most court proceedings a successful party would generally be entitled to recover a portion of their legal costs from the unsuccessful party, in this jurisdiction that right is significantly limited.
In short, the basic idea behind minor civil claims in the Magistrates Court of South Australia is that the parties to a dispute run their own case to minimise their legal cost expenditure, so as not to make the prosecution of those claims uncommercial.
On 13 April 2016, the South Australian Attorney-General tabled the Magistrates Court (Monetary Limits) Amendment Bill 2016 to amend the Magistrates Court Act 1991 (SA) to reduce the value of minor civil claims from $25,000 to $12,000.
Therefore, if the Bill comes into force and retains its current transitional provisions, all newly commenced claims worth $12,000 or less will fall within the jurisdictional limit for minor civil claims in the Magistrates Court of South Australia.
In the meantime, the $25,000 or less jurisdictional limit for minor civil claims in the Magistrates Court of South Australia remains in effect.
Why use a lawyer for minor civil claims?
In my experience, parties are often unfamiliar with the substantive law applicable to their claims, which is often more complex than the modest value of the claim sometimes suggests, and most people are unfamiliar with the procedural rules of the court system.
Therefore, in the absence of obtaining legal advice, parties may struggle to swiftly and economically have their cases dealt with within the South Australian Magistrates Court system.
In practice, I have been engaged to draft court documents, provide advice and 'coach' clients to empower them to commence and manage their own minor civil claims and, if necessary, step in to deal with the more complex legal issues that may arise from time to time.


There are people like Elizabeth in each of our lives – those unsung heroes who walk quietly and faithfully before God. They are the ones we want to run to when we struggle, as well as when we soar. Knowing that they are there and will give us just what we need when we come to call, is like an old, familiar song that plays somewhere comfortably in the back of our minds.
What made Elizabeth the kind of person her teenage niece would want to stay with during her first months of pregnancy? Scripture tells us Elizabeth was six months along herself, but would that have been enough to make Mary journey all that way alone to see her? What else do we know of this woman who played such a significant role in preparing for the coming of the Messiah?
First, Elizabeth was a righteous woman who walked honorably before God. This means that she had really tried to keep His commandments diligently all the days of her long life, no small feat under the best of circumstances. But in her case, it meant trusting God even as the one thing that defined her identity as a Hebrew woman -- having a child of her own – eluded her, year after year after year, into old age.
What I love about Elizabeth is that there is simply no trace of bitterness in her story.
What I love about Elizabeth is that there is simply no trace of bitterness in her story. Though others around her probably believed she was deficient in some way, there's no evidence that she took offense, nor does she seem to waste time with self-recrimination or second guessing God about how this could have happened in light of her faithfulness before Him. This, I believe, is more than anything, what made Mary want to be in her presence during the most trying time of her life. The young girl needed someone who would do exactly what Elizabeth did – rejoice with her and give God glory over an outrageous situation that would cause countless others to question or condemn her outright.
Those three months must have been a special time for the two women, with Elizabeth encouraging and instructing Mary in everything from a proper diet to handling false contractions. I suspect they had many conversations about what it would mean to raise children who belonged wholly to God and His purposes. I can just see them pondering, praying together and preparing their hearts for the days to come. In the end, there is no doubt that Elizabeth's gentle strength was a gift Mary would treasure her whole life, as the mother of the incarnate Christ.
On these days before Christmas, let us consider what it means to trust God in every circumstance, to walk before Him with honor, even when we cannot see His hand.
On these days before Christmas, let us consider what it means to trust God in every circumstance, to walk before Him with honor, even when we cannot see His hand. Above all, let us remember the spiritual strength of this amazing woman, and choose daily as she did, to refuse to be offended at how God orders the course of our lives. This is the greatest preparation we can make for the miracles that have yet to unfold and the call to God's purposes that await us in the days to come. REFLECTWhat situation might you face today that makes it harder to walk honorably with God? What might be His heart for you in this? Pause and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you, asking Him questions such as: Lord, how do you want to encourage me with Elizabeth's life? What do You want to show me of Yourself through this? Jot the things you sense Him saying down in your journal.
Read the following passage prayerfully, asking God to impart its truths to your heart and life. Then re-write it in your own words, as it relates to your personal situation. Make it a psalm of praise and worship to the Lord.
Call, write, text or send and email to someone who has been there for you spiritually in the past, and thank them for their faithfulness and witness in your life.

I'm sure Mary was such a blessing to Elizabeth as well with no hubby to " talk with" for 9 long months , only "talk to".
Oh God is sooo God and cares about all our needs!

Britain's fourth squirrel: the 'brunette'
Researchers stumble across a fourth species of squirrel, the brunette.
Published: October 16th, 2012 at 3:02 pm
Scientists have recorded a forth type of squirrel living in the UK. First it was the red and grey, then the black and now the brunette.
After a nationwide research project that was launched by Anglia Ruskin University's "Black Squirrel Project' earlier this year, which asked the public to report sightings of squirrels, increased numbers of around 4000 of the black squirrel were reported. This led researchers to find that in fact, people had confused the brunette squirrel with the black.
Due to the mix up in findings, researchers are unsure as to how many brunette squirrels there currently are residing in the UK, although their numbers are already established on the continent. However, their mistake discovery makes them the rarest of all 4 squirrel species.
The brunettes, which are also known as 'black-reds' are dark brown or black in colour. They are a sub-species of Britain's rare native red squirrel, which are now confined to small areas with an estimated population of only 120,000. The brunettes have the same body shape as the red squirrel and the same long tufty ears and white markings on their stomachs.
Similarly, the black squirrel is a subtype of the grey, which has spread across Britain since their introduction from North America in the 1870s with an estimated population of 2.5 million. Numbers of its black counterpart are at only 25,000 in the UK. Both dark subtypes have arisen through genetic mutation.
Sightings of the brunette squirrel were recorded in areas where reds can still be found, such as Cumbria, Isle of Wight, Merseyside and Scotland. As researchers are not aware of any reported releases of black-reds in those areas, they now believe black-reds are native to Britain.
Now, scientists are keen to find out more about the genetic mutilation, and what it is that distinguishes the red from the brunette.
