Norway's Top Cop Seems Baffled by Free Speech - but Not by the Inviolability of the Koran
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/15240/norway-free-speech-koran
Norwegian police chief Benedicte Bjørnland is unable to rid from her mind the certainty that mistreating a copy of the Koran is wrong and that she and her fellow flatfoots should, under some statute or other, have the power to do something about it. In short, for the Norwegian police, the Koran is, in a way, as holy as it is for Muslims.
Once again, one was reminded of the cartoon crisis, when the Norwegian diplomatic corps saw it as urgent to apologize to authoritarian governments for whatever is left in Norway of individual liberty.
A teacher at the school explained that she had "made a conscious decision not to buy napkins with 'Merry Christmas' written on them" or to use a red tablecloth or red tree ornaments because "certain religions are very sensitive" and care needs to be taken "not to offend anyone."
The Norwegian government has recently spent well over $100,000 to convert churches in Stavanger and Skien into mosques and is kicking in a huge sum of taxpayer money for the construction of a mega-mosque in Bergen with, according to journalist and political activist Hege Storhaug, "open ties to extremism."

Recently I wrote here about how, on November 16, the group Stop Islamization of Norway (Stopp Islamisering av Norge – SIAN) set fire to a copy of the Koran in a public square in Kristiansand, only to have the fire doused pronto by a group of 30 or more police officers. It later emerged that they were under secret orders from the chief of the Norwegian police, Benedicte Bjørnland, not just to put out any such fire but to prevent SIAN members from committing any such act.
Bjørnland defended her orders by citing the so-called "racism clause" of Norway's criminal law, and the Minister of Justice, Jøran Kallmyr, stood behind her, making the baffling statement that while burning a Koran was not illegal, it could (depending on how you translated his words) "become" or "morph into" a crime.
In reaction to this assault on their holy book, Norwegian Muslims got worked up, Muslims in Pakistan and Turkey burned Norwegian flags, and the Pakistani government called the Norwegian ambassador on the carpet. At first, the Norwegian authorities seemed as spineless as they had been during the 2006 Danish caricature crisis, when, in contrast to the government in Copenhagen, which boldly defied demands by a dozen-odd Muslim nations for an apology, the wimps in Oslo crawled like cowards.
Nine days after SIAN's Koran-burning, however, the authorities -- apparently feeling not only the pressure from Muslims but (finally) the outrage among ordinary Norwegians at the brazen attempt to shut down free speech -- changed their tune. Sort of, anyway. In a November 25 appearance on an evening news discussion program, NRK Debatten, Bjørnland admitted that her orders had perhaps been unclear and that she and her colleagues were now "re-evaluating" their policies. Kallmyr, also present, had jettisoned his ridiculous line about legal acts morphing into illegal acts and acknowledged unambiguously that it is legal to burn a Koran in Norway. "Freedom of speech is sacred," he said. At the same time, in good Western European fashion, he made sure that everyone knew that he, personally, strongly condemns the burning of the Koran and considers it vital to convey to the world's 1.5 billion Muslims that most Norwegians do not support such an act.
Also on the panel was Anine Kjerulf, a jurist and human-rights researcher, who criticized the police chief and Minister of Justice for having tried to use the racism paragraph to squelch free expression, and congratulated them for having admitted their errors. Lene Vågslid, a Labor Party politician, called it "remarkable" that the police and Justice Ministry could have interpreted the racism clause as they did and said it was a "shame" that it had taken them this long to recognize their mistake.
For his part, Jan Helgheim of the Progress Party, who agreed that Bjørnland and Kallmyr had screwed up big time, quite appropriately recalled the 2006 Danish cartoon crisis, during which then-Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre apologized to the Muslim world for Norwegian free speech and savaged the small Norwegian newspaper that had reprinted the cartoons. Helgheim had the most stirring words of the evening: "We can't allow ourselves to be brought to our knees when other nations, other religions, other cultures, which are not free, have an entirely different view."
Despite her apparent willingness to admit error, Bjørnland still wasn't entirely letting go of her original story. She kept maintaining that the matter was "complicated." "If the Koran is burned," she insisted, "it is an expression of hate" that creates a "stressful atmosphere" and can cross over the line into a criminal act. To listen to Bjørnland was to get the distinct impression that she is one of those people who do grasp that a freedom of expression with major exceptions, or a freedom of expression that can be "balanced" by other freedoms or rights or considerations, is no freedom of speech at all. While she is shaky on free speech, however, Bjørnland is unable to rid from her mind the certainty that mistreating a copy of the Koran is wrong and that she and her fellow flatfoots should, under some statute or other, have the power to do something about it. In short, for the Norwegian police, the Koran is, in a way, as holy as it is for Muslims.
The exchange on NRK Debatten -- whose host, Fredrik Solvang, later in the show interviewed two leading Norwegian Muslims, although representatives from SIAN were conspicuous by their absence -- seemed to be intended to bring the whole Koran-burning story to a close. No such luck. Three days later came the news that the Norwegian Foreign Ministry, and in fact the government as a whole, officially condemned SIAN's burning of the Koran. Writing in VG, Deputy Minister Jens Frølich Holte stated that while Norwegian subjects and organizations enjoy freedom of speech, that doesn't mean that the government gives up the right to condemn what they have to say.
Once again, one was reminded of the cartoon crisis, when the Norwegian diplomatic corps saw it as urgent to beg the pardon of authoritarian governments for whatever is left in Norway of individual liberty. The idea of a supposedly free country's Foreign Ministry conducting itself in such a way is shameful and pusillanimous -- and foolish, too, because these Norwegian diplomats fail to grasp that their Muslim counterparts undoubtedly read such behavior as a sign of weakness, period.
To be sure, this cringing mentality is not restricted to people in government. The other day, when a Trondheim man named Roar Fløttum was severely beaten on his way home from church by four Muslims who demanded he convert to their faith, the report of the attack in Trondheim's main newspaper, Adresseavisen, scrubbed the religious identity of the perpetrators as well as their aggressive approach to evangelism.
Meanwhile, in Seljord, a small town near where I live in the mountains of Telemark, middle-school students are now under orders, in the name of inclusivity, not to use the everyday words julemat (Christmas food) or juleball (Christmas party) but, instead, to say tradisjonsmat (traditional food) and skoleball (school party). A teacher at the school explained that she had "made a conscious decision not to buy napkins with 'Merry Christmas' written on them" or to use a red tablecloth or red tree ornaments because "certain religions are very sensitive" and care needs to be taken "not to offend anyone."
Finally, here's one last cozy seasonal story: the Norwegian government has recently spent well over $100,000 to convert churches in Stavanger and Skien into mosques and is kicking in a huge sum of taxpayer money for the construction of a mega-mosque in Bergen with, according to journalist and political activist Hege Storhaug, "open ties to extremism."

I'm sure setting fire to a bible won't cause Bjørnland or the Norwegian authorities a moment's lack of sleep.
So caught up in the PC, 'inclusivity' bubble of mind-numbing conformity, the thought of protecting their own country's religion wouldn't even enter their minds.
I must say I thought Norway was more sensible than this (I worked there for quite some time and got to know Norwegians as friendly, down to earth people).
But it seems the Western mental disorders have taken hold over there as well.

People really need to stop saying that Norwegians and other Europeans deserves to lose their country and being erased from history. Nobody deserves that. It all depends on the leaders. Poland and Hungary knows how to protect their own country.
Do Americans deserve to lose their own country because Hillary Clinton, a democrat, Soros ally, globalist and open borders supporter, got more votes than Trump (but still lost thanks to the system)? No, even if there are clearly too many voters who don't knows what's best for their country. And some voters who really want to see the country and the old institutions destroyed, believing they will be able to rebuild it again in their own image.

Thank you very much for bringing this to everyones attention ! It is one of the most offensive comments to make to common people who don't hold the reigns of power. Especially, from the US where recent memory and factual history seems to fade away from our own challenging losses. Lumping entire citizenry for the faults of decision makers which has shown to be an additional price paid by people whos experienced betrayal is a constant reminder and fear for their lives and those they love. ( Common Sense ) dispelling the myth that these conditions were a life long dream people had nothing better to aspire to !
In addition to the amnesia of what has already taken place, is currently taking place with additional recently reported news in Pensacola,FL.
I lived in Germany from 80-82 Wiesbaden
It was very clean and culturally nice and safe. A vivid day etched into my heart is learning of the massive modern day genocide of Christian's living across more than 50 nation's where their voices are now heard in Heaven. I've never felt any safer because our own leaders took for granted the same thing,

Attempting to understand what Norwegians are willfully doing to their own society would be a tough challenge, even for a writer who specializes in dystopian zombie material. It's hard to respect a long-esteemed and valued culture that is essentially in the business of facilitating its own slow suicide.
Peter Stuart • Dec 5, 2019 at 17:27
I don't care what religion a person is, I have the same rights as them. In this free society of ours, I am allowed to like or dislike their religion and to say so. They are allowed to do exactly the same. I refuse to accept I can't decorate my house in a traditional way for Christmas according to my religion. I can do this and host a Christmas party. If some poor unsuspecting Muslim is offended by this, then too bad. Perhaps he'll go have his own Muslim type Christmas party in a way his religion allows.
Why should I give up my religions traditions because someone doesn't like it? This is not my fault. If a Muslim is offended by this, surely he is open to legal action due to his intolerance? Where will this cowardice end and when will people stand up for themselves?

Perhaps Norwegians simply believe that all religions deserve respect and inclusion - not just Western religions. A culture of inclusion is one thing that makes Norway a wonderful country.

It is the height of intellectual idiocy to assert that all ideologies deserve respect.
We were endowed with the faculties of analysis and critical reflection. We have used them to establish, through periods of trial & error, what sort of societies we want. This has been an organic process, evolving over time, in response to local, regional & to some extent, global conditions.
In the West, this has taken the form of secular democracy. Centuries of sustained effort, often at great cost, might well be accorded respect. But the appropriate response to an ideology which aims to restore a totalitarian theocracy is resistance.
Please learn the difference between treating persons with respect and care, and giving equal weighting to every idea.
Democracy is a new and fragile thing in the context of human history. Your remark that "all religions deserve respect & inclusion" is one you couldn't make in most countries. Don't lend your support to those who would destroy such sentiments. They come from a good place, even if the logic is flawed. Just remember that if you empower totalitarianism, you won't be able to utter them thereafter.

Jews have lived in Norway since the 1400's.
Why weren't Norwegians as concerned about offending their religion by celebrating Christmas?
Perhaps modern Norwegian's have adopted the more sensitive socially inclusive characteristics of Islam?
Or perhaps, if Jews had reacted with violent threats whenever their "religious sensibilities" were offended this "self imposed" ban on Christmas would have started much earlier.
"The best political weapon is the weapon of terror. Cruelty commands respect. Men may hate us. But, we don't ask for their love; only for their fear" -- Heinrich Himmler
"The fundamentalist Islamic culture we were trying, with the best of intentions, to seduce with the blessings of liberty is deeply anti-Western. That is its preference. Sharia societies shun the West not out of ignorance but because they believe their way — authoritarian, discriminatory, and brutish — is superior. That was not going to change, certainly not for decades, if ever." -- Andrew McCarthy

You do not speak on the behalf of the whole country. It's the elite and some confused souls who think a policy that is turning Norwegians into a minority in their own country is a good idea. It has nothing to do with respect, it is pure stupidity, and there are no excuses.
Jake Dan R Hestad • Dec 5, 2019 at 19:00
This is at the EXCLUSION of the Christian culture because another culture MAY find it offensive.
Are you honestly saying that they are treating ALL religion and cultures in the exact same way?
Dan R Hestad Roger • Dec 5, 2019 at 20:41
Islamic Norwegians are also Norwegians. Islamic Americans are also Americans. I spend about half my time in Norway. Most Norwegians are quite welcoming and open-minded. Lessons to be learned from them.
It should be obvious that I'm referring to ethnic Norwegians, not Norwegian citizens in general. And I don't need to learn anything from them because I'm already Norwegian. There is a huge difference between being "welcoming and open-minded" and submissive, naive and stupid.
Meg Martel Dan R Hestad • Dec 8, 2019 at 23:20
Dan - all religions deserve respect?? I do not "respect" any religion that endorses death to apostates, polygamy, misogyny, stoning & amputations as punishments, marriage of underage girls.... The list is endless.

All religions, including Christianity, endorse most if not all of what you list.
Peter Gee Dan R Hestad • Dec 9, 2019 at 10:28
Why would anyone want to "respect and include" something that (mainstream Islam) does not "respect and include" any other religion and is indeed hostile to other religions? A culture of inclusion to the point of national suicide makes Norway a stupid country

Not suicide, more like a modern Jonestown, where most of the victims were murdered.
The problem is that children are being brainwashed from an early age, and that everybody are living in a culture of fear; fear of being called a racist, fear of being called a right-wing, fear of being called an islamophobe, and so on (it's like the fear of being called an infidel, blasphemer or gay in Muslim countries). All non-western people on the other hand, can say whatever they want and insult everyone without being talked back at.
It's the politicians, media and teachers that are making decisions on the behalf of the whole population. They are completely immune against facts, and keep destroying their own country like there is no tomorrow.

Well, it's the same damn thing. Only weak and crazy people can be indoctrinated and blinded to facts to this degree. Then, they deserve what they get. Europe deserves it. And it is not only Norway.

Since Bruce Bawer has himself chosen to live in Norway I may assume that he is as disappointed with the curtailment of free speech in that country as I am. But isn't the cultural suicide going on in Norway exactly what's happening in the United States where the very word Christmas has all but disappeared from advertising and will soon be virtually banned from public life? There should be massive public resistance to this but there hasn't been and won't be so long as the public remains transfixed by the lure of computerized technology and its impact on human communication.
cammo99 • Dec 4, 2019 at 06:57
In the West we invented the printing press in part as a response to the burning of Bibles and sacred writings by aggressive Islamist Armies. Some of the great libraries in human history until then were burned and the contents lost forever. It is why the Gutenberg Bible was the first publication. Today the most published book in human history is the Bible, over 5 billion copies. Despite the fact Bibles continue to be burned by Muslims. And I do not know one Christian who believes in their heart a person should be killed even people who have nothing to do with the burning of a Bible, should be murdered, indiscriminately in response to burning a Bible. That is the response to burning a Koran. Christians respond to Bible turnings by running off a couple a hundred more to replace each Bible burnt or otherwise desecrated. Not so Muslims. It is up to history to determine which s a religious response and which is a hate crime. And those who enable are equally guilty of crimes against humanity.

Why should the Koran be protected? Maybe the lady should read it before she makes any statements or cites any laws that lead to its protection. In an English copy of the Koran, it states that Muslims should convert infidels, and if they refuse, they should be killed. The whole world is hoped to be converted, a caliphate formed, and those who refuse to convert should either be killed or pay an extortion tax. Why should anyone protect a book which instructs its followers to murder him?

Benelli To Introduce Its First Cruiser In India Soon!
The 502C will enter the country via the CKD route
2019-08-19T17:10:48+05:30 Benelli To Introduce Its First Cruiser In India Soon!
In an interview with ZigWheels, Benelli's Managing Director Vikas Jhabakh confirmed that the Italian motorcycle manufacturer will launch the 502C in India by 2020. The Benelli 502C looks eerily similar to a power cruiser like the Ducati XDiavel. Powered by the same motor as the TRK 502, the 502C is likely to be priced around Rs 5 lakh (ex-showroom) as the company has stated that it has no plans of localising bikes displacing 500cc and above in India. This means that like the TRK 502, the 502C cruiser will be offered via the CKD route.
The 502C has the potential to be a good long-distance touring motorcycle. That's because of its raked-out front fork complemented by a muscular fuel tank that can hold 21.5-litres. At 750mm, the seat is quite low and will be ideal for shorter riders. This coupled with the forward-set footpegs and easy reach handlebars should result in comfortable ergonomics. Like the XDiavel, the 502C gets a stubby tail section.
Powered by a 500cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled DOHC motor, the 502C is expected to put out similar power and torque figures as the TRK 502 - 47.5PS at 8500rpm and 46Nm at 6000rpm. Claimed fuel efficiency stands at 27kmpl, which should give it a range of around 550km. Benelli has built the bike on a tubular trellis frame with a 41mm upside down fork and a pre-load adjustable monoshock. Brakes include dual 280mm petal discs with radial calipers up front and a 240mm petal disc at the rear, with standard dual-channel ABS. The 17-inch alloys are shod with 120-section front and 160-section rear Pirelli Angel ST tyres.
Benelli offers the motorcycle with some modern features like an all-LED lighting system and a fully-digital instrument cluster. Overall, the 502C's styling, touring capabilities and ergonomics could be some of its USPs for it to be successful in India. That said, we'll reserve our final judgement until we get our hands on the bike.
There aren't any natural rivals for the 502C in its displacement category, but in terms of price, its closest competitors are the Harley-Davidson Street 750 (Rs 5.33 lakh) and Kawasaki Vulcan S (Rs 5.49 lakh). All prices, ex-showroom India.

Free College Football Picks Archives - NSAwins.com – Expert Sports Picks from USA's #1 Sports Handicapping Service!

2016 College Football Picks and Predictions – Top Matchups and Free Picks for Week 13: The 2016 College Football Season is in its home stretch, and most divisions and conferences will be decided in the next couple of weeks. Week 13 has added drama because it is rivalry week, and some of the most storied rivalries in the sport's history will be renewed this weekend. With that in mind, let's take a closer look at the top matchups for a loaded Week 13 slate.
.Yes, these teams boast identical conference records, but while the Cougars have been squeaking by most of their opponents, the Huskies have been blowing a lot of the same teams off the field. This is still the same Cougars team that lost to Eastern Washington early in the year and was run over by Colorado last weekend. The Huskies are the better team, and they will eventually grab the upper hand in this game.
As if this rivalry wasn't big enough already, the winner of this one will likely lock up a spot in the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes are at home and haven't lost to the Wolverines since Urban Meyer become the head coach, but it is safe to say that this is the best Michigan team the Meyer led Buckeyes will have faced.
The Wolverines may have to use their backup quarterback, and regardless of who is under center for Michigan, J.T. Barrett gives the Buckeyes an edge at the position. That being said, Ohio State has struggled all year with teams that can outmuscle them in the trenches.
From the loss to Penn State to close calls against Wisconsin and Michigan State, the young offensive line of the Buckeyes is still a work in progress, and the offense becomes much less dynamic when the line is struggling. Enter the Wolverines, who have one of the best defensive fronts in the country. Expect a close, low-scoring affair with the Wolverines covering, if not pulling the outright upset.
Win or lose, the Crimson Tide will be playing in the SEC title game, but that doesn't mean the Tigers won't be trying to knock out their rival. The Iron Bowl is one of the most heated rivalries in college football, and you only have to look back a couple of years to be reminded that anything can happen in a rivalry game.
Yes, Alabama is clearly the better team on both sides of the ball, but Nick Saban can play things a little conservative in big games. Remember that 10-0 win over an inferior LSU team a few weeks back. Meanwhile, Auburn has had a way of forcing teams to play ugly, including in low-scoring games against Clemson, Texas A&M and LSU.
I don't expect any miracles this time around for the Tigers, but I do see them hanging around and keeping things from getting completely out of hand. Auburn hasn't lost by more than 13 all year, and I like the trend to continue.
Both teams are ranked high in the polls, but make no mistake about it, this game is far more important for Colorado. With a win the Buffaloes will earn a spot in the Pac-12 title game, putting themselves in position to make the Rose Bowl, if not sneak into the College Football Playoff.
Quarterback Sefo Liufau and running back Phillip Lindsay form an impressive offensive combination for Colorado, and the Buffaloes have been stout on the defensive side of the ball at times, as well. Granted, Utah has looked as dominant at times, but it is fair to question the Utes' consistency.
Colorado's two losses have come on the road to Michigan and USC, but Utah added an unforgivable loss to Oregon last weekend to a resume that already featured a questionable loss to California. Playing at home, I like the Buffaloes to take command and pull away.
There are no conference implications at stake, but there will still be plenty of intensity between these in-state rivals. The Seminoles have failed to get over the hump in big games this year, but the Gators have been the beneficiaries of a schedule that didn't include a majority of the SEC West powers.
Florida's defense is legit, but at times, it seems like the Gators may never score a point. On the year, they rank 92nd in points for while allowing the third-fewest points per game. Florida's style of play is good news for a Florida State team that has struggled against teams with high-powered offenses.
In this matchup, the Seminoles will have the best offensive player on the field in running back Dalvin Cook. Meanwhile, Florida's worst loss this year came against an Arkansas team that established the run early and never let up. I expect FSU to ride Cook early and often and put enough points up to get by the Gators.

2016 College Football Picks & Predictions – Week 12 Free College Football Picks 11/19/16: The 2016 College Football season enters week 12 of the schedule this week and Saturday's card is action packed with great games to watch and, more importantly, great games to bet on that should make us some easy money. We recommend you to check out NSAwins.com this week for the nation's best college football picks plus check below for three fantastic free college football picks that we look to get us the money this Saturday.
South Florida -13 over SMU – The South Florida Bulls travel to Texas to take on the SMU Mustangs tonight in a game that has the odds makers listing South Florida as a strong -13 point favorite. The Bulls are still in position to reach the AAC Conference Title Game if Temple slips up and loses one of their remaining two games but the Bulls need to take care of business and win out. South Florida's offense is one of the most explosive in the nation and should feast upon a terrible SMU defense that enters this game ranked 88th in the country in points allowed per game at 32.5. South Florida's defense isn't much better but their offense is far and away the most dominant unit on the field tonight and we have a tough time seeing how SMU can keep this game close. Lay the points with South Florida and watch them roll by 3-4 touchdowns.
Washington -27 over Arizona State – The Washington Huskies got a gift already this week with Louisville losing at Houston to take the Cardinals out of the College Football Playoff conversation and giving Washington the opportunity to control it's own destiny if it wins out in our opinion. Washington is coming off of a 26-13 loss at home to USC last week but the Huskies somehow stayed in the race for the College Football Playoff as Michigan and Clemson also lost as well. Look for Washington to bounce back big today against an Arizona State team that has been awful this season and is on a four game losing streak. Arizona State's defense is putrid as they rank 115th in the nation in scoring defense and Washington's offense is ranked 5th in the nation in points scored per game. Lay the points and watch Washington cover this spread big time by winning by 6 or more touchdowns.
Oregon @ Utah OVER 69.5 – The Oregon Ducks are simply playing for pride the rest of the season as they enter 3-7 overall today to battle the 8-2 Utah Utes. The Ducks will be seeking revenge for a 62-20 loss at home last season to Utah and will need to bring their "A" game if they plan on having any chance at the outright win today. Utah still has an outside chance at reaching the PAC 12 Championship Game and should come into today's game focused and ready to feast upon a terrible Oregon defense that's ranked 126th in the nation in points allowed per game at 43.5 points. We look for Utah to easily score 50 plus points in today's game while Oregon should be able to get a bunch of points as well against a Utah defense that has allowed 102 points over the last three games. Play the OVER and watch this game be a shootout and easily go OVER the 69.5 point total.
2016 College Football Picks & Predictions – Week 10 Free College Football Picks 11/5/16: The 2016 College Football season enters week 10 of the schedule this week and Saturday's card is action packed with great games to watch and, more importantly, great games to bet on that should make us some easy money. We recommend you to check out NSAwins.com this week for the nation's best college football picks plus check below for three fantastic free college football picks that we look to get us the money this Saturday.
Florida -3.5 over Arkansas – The Florida Gators enter this game at Arkansas with a 6-1 overall record and sitting pretty atop the SEC Eastern Division with a 4-1 record. The Gators have been outstanding on the defensive side of the ball this season as they have the nation's 2nd rated scoring defense. The Gators will be battling a 5-3 Arkansas team that is reeling after getting absolutely annihilated last Saturday at Auburn to the tune of 56-3. The Razorbacks are one of the most overrated teams in the nation in our opinion and we see no reason to believe that they will be be able to move the ball and put up enough points to hang with Florida this weekend. Lay the -3.5 points with a much better Florida team and watch them win by 10 or more points comfortably.
TCU +8 over Baylor – Head coach Garry Patterson leads his struggling 4-4 TCU team into Waco, TX this Saturday to take on a 6-1 Baylor Bears team coming off of it's first loss of the season last week(35-34 at Texas). TCU is getting +8 points in this matchup and we will be all over it as these two teams are a lot more closely matched than the spread and public perception indicates. Baylor is 6-1 but their six wins have all come against bad football teams minus a 35-24 win over Oklahoma State at home. Meanwhile, TCU hasn't beaten anyone good either but their four losses have all come against solid bowl teams in Arkansas, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Texas Tech. The Horned Frogs have lose three of those four games by 6 points or less and we feel they can keep this game close too, if not win outright. Take the points and watch TCU possibly spring the outright upset but cover easily regardless.
Alabama at LSU OVER 45 – The best rivalry in the SEC over the last decade gets back at it this Saturday night in Baton Rouge when the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide take on the LSU Tigers. The spread on this game is Alabama -8.5 but the total is what we love as we look for this game to go OVER 45 points. The Crimson Tide offense has been rolling all season long as they've scored 34 or more points in every game including 48 points or more in 5 games. Alabama is facing it's toughest defense yet in a LSU defense that enters this game 5th in the nation in points allowed. However, LSU hasn't faced an offense yet as explosive and talented as Alabama's. On the flip side, LSU's offense has been rolling of late as they've scored 42, 45 and 38 points in their last three games since former head coach Les Miles was fired. We look for LSU to be able to put up at least 17-20 points in this game and for this game to easily go over as we see no reason to think Alabama won't put up at least 31 plus points. Play the OVER.
2016 College Football Picks & Predictions – Week 9 Free College Football Picks 10/22/16: The 2016 College Football season enters week 9 of the schedule this week and Saturday's card is action packed with great games to watch and, more importantly, great games to bet on that should make us some easy money. We recommend you to check out NSAwins.com this week for the nation's best college football picks plus check below for three fantastic free college football picks that we look to get us the money this Saturday.
Utah +10.5 over Washington – The 4th ranked and 7-0 undefeated Washington Huskies go on the road today in what will be their toughest test yet against the 7-1 Utah Utes. The odds makers have made Washington a -10.5 point favorite but we see them having a tough time winning the game outright never mind covering. Washington is the better overall team but not by as much as the experts would like you to believe. Washington is unbeaten but who have they beat? Their big win over Stanford has lost it's luster after we've seen Stanford for the mediocre team they are this year and their big win over Oregon is meaningless after everyone is beating up on the Ducks. Meanwhile, Utah has beat BYU, USC and UCLA and are a very tough team to beat at home. Look for this game to be close throughout with the winner winning by a touchdown or less. Take the points.
Oklahoma -40 over Kansas – Head coach Bob Stoops has his Oklahoma Sooners hitting their stride as we close out October as the Sooners are on a 4 game winning streak after starting the season 1-2. The Sooners offense has been simply phenomenal the last four weeks including 66 points and 854 yards of total offense last week in a 66-59 win at Texas Tech. The Sooners defense has been pitiful on the other hand but they should have no trouble stopping a Kansas offense that is ranked 110th nationally in points scored and has scored 23 points or less in their last six games. Oklahoma's offense shouldn't have to punt more than once all game and should easily win this game by 7-8 touchdowns over an awful Kansas team that is outmatched on both sides of the ball talent-wise by a lot. Lay the points and take Oklahoma on the huge spread.
Florida State +5 over Clemson – The Florida State Seminoles have no chance at winning the ACC this season with Louisville and Clemson both ahead of them but they can play spoiler and get themselves back into the Top 10 nationally with a big home win at Doak Campbell Stadium tonight. Clemson has always struggled at Florida State and haven't beaten the Noles since 2006 in Tallahassee. The Seminoles and Tigers have both had an extra week to rest and prepare for this huge ACC showdown and this game should be one of the best games in all of college football today. We are going to take the +5 points with the home underdog tonight as FSU's offense should be able to keep them in it all game and Clemson's offense hasn't exactly fired on all cylinders this season and shouldn't run away and hide in this game. Look for a barn burner tonight that will be very close and take the home dog to get us the money.
2016 College Football Picks & Predictions – Week 8 Free College Football Picks 10/22/16: The 2016 College Football season enters week 8 of the schedule this week and Saturday's card is action packed with great games to watch and, more importantly, great games to bet on that should make us some easy money. We recommend you to check out NSAwins.com this week for the nation's best college football picks plus check below for three fantastic free college football picks that we look to get us the money this Saturday.
Louisville -19 over NC State – The Louisville Cardinals look to get back on track and return to their high flying offensive ways on Saturday when they host the NC State Wolfpack. Louisville enters this game 5-1 overall and coming off of a lackluster 24-14 home win last Friday night against a mediocre Duke team. Louisville had to be suffering some sort of hangover emotionally after losing the week prior at Clemson 42-36. Louisville won't be overlooking NC State this week as the Wolfpack are 4-2 overall and coming off of a 24-17 overtime loss at Clemson themselves. Louisville's offense behind Lamar Jackson should get back to it's high octane ways on Saturday and we look for Louisville to easily roll to a 4 touchdown or more win over a solid but hardly great NC State team. Lay the -19 points and take Louisville.
TCU +6.5 over West Virginia – Head coach Gary Patterson leads his TCU Horned Frogs into Morgantown, WV on Saturday looking to give West Virginia it's first blemish on their undefeated record this year so far. TCU comes in 4-2 overall and coming off a surprisingly poor 24-23 win at Kansas last week that almost saw them lose as -28 point favorites. TCU knows it has to play better if it wants to beat 5-0 West Virginia who has been rolling this season and are coming off of a dominant 48-17 win at Texas Tech last week. TCU has owned the four head-to-head matchups between these two schools the last 4 years going 3-1 including a 40-10 win last season at home. The Horned Frogs are getting +6.5 points from the odds makers on Saturday and that should be more than enough to get the cover against the spread as we also feel TCU has a strong chance to win this game outright. Take the points and watch TCU cover this one with ease.
Oklahoma at Texas Tech OVER 85 – The 4-2 Oklahoma Sooners travel to Lubbock to battle the 3-3 Texas Tech Red Raiders on Saturday in what odds makers are figuring could be an enormous shootout with the total at over/under 85 points. It's hard to argue against that and we feel this game has all the makings of an absolute shootout that could see both teams combine to score over 100 points. The Red Raiders can score with the best of them and they will be motivated to get their offense back in gear Saturday after only scoring 17 points last week at home in a 48-17 loss to West Virginia. Texas Tech should be able to move the ball against an Oklahoma defense that allowed 40 points or more in three straight games before last week's 38-17 win against Kansas State. Meanwhile, Oklahoma's offense has to be salivating to go up against a Texas Tech defense that is beyond brutal. Texas Tech has allowed 44 points or more in four of their last five games and gave up 63 points last year in a 63-27 loss at Oklahoma. Play the OVER in this game and watch the scoreboard be lit up all game long.

Oklahoma Sooners -14 over Kansas State Wildcats – A battle of two 3-2 Big 12 teams takes place at noon est on Saturday when the Oklahoma Sooners host the Kansas State Wildcats in Norman, OK. head coach Bob Stoops' team has rebounded nicely the last two weeks with wins over TCU and Texas on the road after losing two of their first three games. Now the Sooners look to keep it rolling this week against a Kansas State team that they absolutely mopped the field with last year on the road to a tune of 55-0. Head coach Bill Snyder has a nice team this year that should go to a bowl but they are 0-2 on the road thus far with losses at Stanford and at West Virginia. We look for the Sooners to have a tougher time than they had last year but they should still comfortably win this game by 3 touchdowns or more. Oklahoma is simply too physical and fast on both sides of the ball for Kansas State to compete with for 60 minutes. Lay the points and take Oklahoma.
Florida State Seminoles -21.5 over Wake Forest Demon Deacons – The Florida State Seminoles saved their season last week with a hard fought 20-19 win at Miami-Fl to avoid falling to 3-3 and out of the Top 25. Instead the Seminoles are now 4-2 and ranked 14th in the nation as they welcome Wake Forest in Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee this Saturday. Wake Forest has played well so far in going 5-1 overall but those five wins came against Tulane, Duke, Delaware, Indiana and Syracuse. The best team they played so far was NC State on the road and they were soundly beaten 33-16. The problem in this game for Wake Forest will be their horrendous defense trying to slow down a dynamic Florida State offense. Wake Forest gave up 611 total yards to Indiana and 527 yards to NC State but those two offenses are nowhere near as good as FSU's. Lay the points and watch FSU's offense go crazy all game long.
West Virginia Mountaineers at Texas Tech Red Raiders OVER 83 – Can you say shootout? Fans better not get up to go the bathroom much watching this game as teams will be going up and down the field scoring points faster than you can say Crooked Hillary? Yes, indeed, the points will be going up on Saturday as Texas Tech welcomes West Virginia to Lubbock. Texas Tech comes in averaging 55.2 points per game and they will be going up against a West Virginia defense that has allowed 521 yards to BYU and 520 yards to Arizona State. West Virginia's defense is far from elite and Texas Tech should have no problem scoring big again Saturday. Meanwhile, we all know Texas Tech's defense couldn't stop a draft with a blanket and they will have a hard time slowing down a West Virginia offense that put up 676 total yards at Arizona State and 624 yards against Youngstown. Play the OVER and watch this game cash in with ease.
2016 College Football Picks & Predictions – Week 5 Free College Football Picks 10/8/16: The 2016 College Football season enters week 6 of the schedule this week and Saturday's card is action packed with great games to watch and, more importantly, great games to bet on that should make us some easy money. We recommend you to check out NSAwins.com this week for the nation's best college football picks plus check below for three fantastic free college football picks that we look to get us the money this Saturday.
Oklahoma -11 over Texas – The Red River Rivalry gets underway on Saturday when the Oklahoma Sooners travel to Texas to take on the Longhorns. The Sooners are 2-2 after a 52-46 win last week over TCU on the road while Texas is 2-2 after dropping their last two games including 49-31 last week at Oklahoma State. We love Oklahoma to win and win big on Saturday as they want revenge for last year's 24-17 loss plus they should be able to absolutely feast on an awful Longhorns defense that couldn't stop a nose bleed. Texas' defense has already given up 47 points against Notre Dame, 50 points against California and 49 against Oklahoma State in 2016. The problem for Texas is Oklahoma's offense is superior to all three of those teams by far and it wouldn't surprise us at all if Oklahoma hangs 60 plus on the Longhorns Saturday. Lay the points and watch Bob Stoops and company absolutely roll over the Horns.
North Carolina -3 over Virginia Tech – The 4-1 North Carolina Tar Heels host the 3-1 Virginia Tech Hokies on Saturday in a huge ACC Conference showdown. Both teams can separate themselves from each other with a win on Saturday and our money is going on North Carolina without any hesitation. Virginia Tech is 3-1 overall but those thre wins have come against Liberty, Boston College and East Carolina. Hardly a murderers row. There lone loss came at Tennessee where they were blown out 45-24. North Carolina on the other hand is coming off of a huge 37-35 road win at Florida State last week and their lone loss was a hard fought 33-24 loss on the road against Georgia. North Carolina is the better team and they are playing at home so the -3 point spread doesn't scare us one bit. Lay the points and take the Tar Heels.
Stanford -7 over Washington State – The 3-1 Stanford Cardinal return home looking to bounce back against the 2-2 Washington State Cougars after an embarrassing 44-6 loss at Washington last week on September 30th. The Cardinal should have no problem getting their offense humming this week against a Washington State defense that ranks 73rd in the nation. Stanford's offense ranks only 114th in the nation in total scoring so far but those numbers are misleading when you consider how tough their schedule has been so far. Stanford has gone up against Kansas State, USC, UCLA and Washington so far and those defenses are all vastly superior to Washington State's defense. We look for Stanford to come out motivated and angry after being embarrassed at Washington and for them to take out their frustration on a good but hardly great Washington State team. Lay the points and watch a superior Stanford team dominate.
2016 College Football Picks & Predictions – Week 5 Free College Football Picks 10/1/16: The 2016 College Football season rolls into week 5 of the schedule this week and Saturday's slate is loaded with a bunch of exciting top notch games that are sure to help clarify the top of the rankings and shape the College Football Playoff picture further. We encourage you to check out NSAwins.com this week for the nation's best college football picks plus look below for three superb free college football picks that we look to cash in for us this Saturday.
Ole Miss -14.5 over Memphis – Can you say revenge? The 2-2 Ole Miss Rebels are licking their chops in anticipation of welcoming the 3-0 Memphis Tigers into their backyard at Turf of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Saturday. Ole Miss wants revenge big time for last season's 37-24 loss at Memphis in which the Rebels were embarrassed as a -10 point favorite. Ole Miss has two losses this season against Florida State and Alabama in games that they had over 3 touchdown leads in the 1st half in both. Ole Miss is super talented and arguably a Top 10 caliber football team talent-wise and should be able to expose a Memphis team that has played well thus far in 2016 but has yet to be tested. They will be tested big time on Saturday and they will fail. Look for Ole Miss to romp. Lay the points.
Oklahoma -3.5 over TCU – The Oklahoma Sooners are by far the best 1-2 team in the nation and still a Top 15 caliber football team in our eyes despite a slow start. The Sooners lost to two Top 10 teams at Houston and at home against Ohio State thus far but still possess the type of talent that is good enough to run the table and capture the Big 12 Championship in the process. The Sooner travel to Fort Worth to battle the 3-1 TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday who the Sooners have beat in 3 of the last 4 season including a 30-29 win at home last year. The Horned Frogs are unbeaten but they are far from the team that they were the last two seasons talent-wise and especially on offense. The Sooners should feast on a suspect TCU defense that allowed 41 points in a 59-41 win over South Dakota and 41 points in a 41-38 loss at Arkansas this season. Look for Oklahoma to put on an offensive show and easily cover the -3.5 point spread.
Wisconsin +11 over Michigan – This is the game of the week in our eyes as the 4-0 Wisconsin Badgers travel to Ann Arbor to battle the 4-0 Michigan Wolverines in the Big House. Believe it or not, these two Big Ten powers have not played each other since 2010. How is that even possible? The Big 10 schedule makers should be ashamed of themselves. Having said all that, the odds makers have made Michigan a huge -11 point favorite in this game. We simply don't see it as Wisconsin has proven it's worth with a 16-14 win over LSU at Lambeau Field away from campus and a 30-6 road win at Michigan State last week. Michigan is 4-0 but hasn't been tested and are playing their 5th consecutive game at home. The mental toughness and physical toughness of Wisconsin will allow them to hang tough all day on Saturday and they not only have a chance to cover the spread but they also have a chance to win outright. Take the points.
2016 College Football Picks & Predictions – Week 4 Free College Football Picks 9/24/16: The 2016 College Football season heads into the final weekend of September with week 4 action scheduled for Saturday, September 24th. Last week saw a big shakeup at the top of the polls with then 10th ranked Louisville absolutely destroying 2nd ranked Florida State by a score of 63-20. There isn't a game on this week's schedule as high profile as that one and some of the others last week but this week still has plenty of exciting games on the schedule. Be sure and stop by NSAwins.com this week for the nation's best college football picks plus check below for three excellent free college football picks that we like to get us the money this weekend.
East Carolina +11.5 over Virginia Tech – The Virginia Tech Hokies enter this matchup 2-1 overall and riding high on the hog after a dominant 49-0 win over Boston College last weekend. The odds makers have made the Hokies a strong -11.5 point favorite against 2-1 East Carolina but we are all over the points and taking East Carolina +11.5 on the spread. The Pirates have played Virginia Tech extremely well over the last handful of years including two outright wins the last two years. The Pirates have shown they can compete with Power 5 conference teams as they beat NC State 33-30 2 weeks ago and lost a close one to South Carolina 20-15 last week. We look for this game to be very competitive and for East Carolina to get the cover. Take the points.
Southern Miss -10 over UTEP – The Southern Miss Golden Eagles look to get back on track and improve to 3-1 overall this weekend after dropping a 37-31 game at home to Troy last week. Southern Miss faces a UTEP team that is 1-2 overall and coming off of an embarrassing 66-14 woodshed beating at the hands of Army last week. The week before that UTEP was destroyed by Texas 41-7. UTEP is not a good football team and Southern Miss should have no problem blowing them out despite a suspect defense that is the reason why they aren't undefeated any longer. Souther Miss has put up 56, 44 and 31 points in their first three games and should be able to break 50 on Saturday against a UTEP defense that is flat out awful.
Ole Miss -7 over Georgia – Ole Miss is the best 1-2 football team in the nation, BAR NONE, as they gave Florida State and Alabama all they could handle and ultimately lost two tough games after being up 3 touchdowns in both. Ole Miss faces another tough team this weekend in undefeated Georgia who travel to Oxford with a 3-0 record. Georgia roughed up Ole Miss 37-10 at home in Athens the last time these two teams met back in 2012. We like Ole Miss in this matchup on Saturday as they are far too talented of a team to fall to 1-3 and need this game much more than Georgia. Georgia is a solid Top 25 caliber team but they are far from a national championship contender and Ole Miss should have plenty of confidence after already going toe to toe with much more talented teams in FSU and Alabama. Take Ole Miss -7 on Saturday and watch them roll to a two touchdown win.
2016 College Football Picks & Predictions – Week 3 Free College Football Picks 9/17/16: The 2016 College Football season is now in full swing and enters week 3 of the schedule this week. NSAwins.com's team of expert college football handicappers are ready to rock and roll this Saturday with not only the nation's best college football picks against the spread for premium members but also with three free college football picks posted below for the players looking to get an edge on a budget. No matter how you slice it, NSAwins.com is your source for the best college football predictions week in and week out and this Saturday will be no different.
Florida State @ Louisville OVER 67.5 – This matchup should be an exciting game to watch as the 2nd ranked Florida State Seminoles travel to Louisville to take on the 10th ranked Cardinals. Both teams are exceptionally coached with FSU's Jimbo Fisher and Louisville's Bobby Petrino and both coaches are known for their offensive brilliance. This game has all the makings of a high scoring affair with two of the best quarterbacks in the nation this season leading the way with FSU's Deondre Francois and Louisville's Lamar Jackson. Both signal callers are early 2016 Heisman Trophy favorites and FSU also has another Heisman hopeful in running back Dalvin Cook who looks primed for a big day on Saturday. FSU comes into this game having put up 45 and 52 points in their first two games while Louisville has put up a remarkable 70 and 62 points in their first two. Both teams are hard to stop and this game looks like it could be one of those games where the team with the ball last has the best likelihood of escaping with the win. We'll take the OVER as we see this game being high scoring from start to finish.
Michigan -20 over Colorado – The Michigan Wolverines and Colorado Buffaloes both enter this week 3 matchup in the Big House in Ann Arbor with 2-0 records and both coming in off of two huge blowouts. However, that's where the similarities end and we look for Michigan to flex their muscles and expose Colorado for the mediocre football team they are this Saturday. The Wolverines are the 4th ranked team in the nation and for good reason as they are a legit National Championship contender and should be ranked in or around the Top 5 all season long. Colorado is 2-0 and could possibly make a bowl this season which would be a great step in the right direction for head coach Mike McIntyre who is just 12-27 in his three plus seasons as Buffs coach. These two teams are nowhere close talent-wise in our opinion and Michigan should roll once again to another win with ease. Look for Michigan to win this game by 4 plus touchdowns. Lay the points.
Kentucky -21.5 over New Mexcico State – Kentucky head coach Mike Stoops looks to get his Kentucky Wildcats into the win column this Saturday at home and keep the boo birds and boosters calling for him to be fired at bay. The Wildcats are a disappointing 0-2 after suffering a humiliating 44-35 home loss in their opener against Southern Miss that saw the Wildcats blow a 35-10 lead and then a 45-7 loss at Florida last week in their SEC opener. Meanwhile, New Mexico State is 1-1 after dropping their opener 38-22 at UTEP and coming back last week to win 32-31 against New Mexico. The Wildcats should be an angry football team this Saturday and have vastly superior talent than New Mexico State at basically every position. Kentucky cannot afford another loss and really has no business not winning this game by at least 5 touchdowns. We look for Kentucky to romp so lay the points.

Q: Collect Asterisk cdr records by http post I'm using Asterisk and want to collect cdr records. I searched for a while, and found that there are already modules which we can use to collect cdr records into CSV files or MySQL.
I'm wondering that whether there is already a module which let me collect cdr records by http post. So that when a call finished, Asterisk will post cdr records to a predefined URL.
Thanks in advanced.

A: I don't know such a module, but you could execute an Application on Hangup.
You could use the function ${CURL(url[,post-data])}:
exten => h,n,Set(result=${CURL(http://SERVER/cdr.php?\
             cdranswer=${CDR(answer)}&exten=${EXTEN}&cidnum=${CALLERID(num)})})
exten => h,n,Noop(${result})

Another Approach is to execute a Script on Hangup:
exten => h,n,System('php -f /opt/scripts/cdr.php \
                        ${CallerID(num)} ${EXTEN} "${CDR(answer)}" ${EPOCH}');

Maybe you could also use ${CDR(billsec)}.

A: Another option would be to use a CRON job to run a Ruby or PHP script every few minutes to extract and HTTP POST all of the CDRs since the last time the script was run.  I've done that for a customer and it works reasonably well.
That said, what I've found is that if I need to have CDRs accessible "off machine", the easiest way to do it over the long haul is set up MySQL replication;  write the CDRs to the PBX machine, read them from the replicated copy on the reports machine.  It's a bit more set-up intensive at the beginning, but makes everything else a heck of a lot easier later on.

Maybe it's just us New Yorkers, but it seems like every bar or restaurant we go to now serves at least one item out of a Mason jar. These adorable retro jars are great for preserving and pickling, as their air-tight lid is virtually foolproof, but the jars also make a fun alternative to the classic beer glass, ice cream cup or even dry goods container. Check out some of our favorite ways to use Mason jars, and happy canning!

Its coalition of over 100 institutions not only includes the better-known attractions such as the Wildlife Conservation Society (Bronx Zoo), Botanical Gardens and, of course, Yankee Stadium, but also highlights a host of hidden treasures such as Wave Hill and the Split Rock Golf Course, only two of many more places that make the Bronx such a unique destination for hundreds of thousands of visitors per year.
The council provides a variety of ways for travelers to discover those secrets through several events and initiatives including weekly top-ranked guided trolley tours such as the First Wednesdays Bronx Culture Trolley Tour, led by the Bronx Council on the Arts; City Island's Bronx Seaside Trolley Tour; the Bronx Urban Farms Agro-Tours and so many more.
Our Annual Bronx Week Celebration is a 10-day series of events that takes place every May. It offers venues and activities ideal for locals and visitors to enjoy such as the Bronx Film Festival and the Bronx Ball where famous Bronxites are inducted into our Walk of Fame. This summer brings a highly-anticipated event to the Bronx: the borough's second-annual Salsa Fest where visitors are invited to our Bronx French Riviera, Orchard Beach, and dance to the sounds of great salsa bands on the board walk. Other events will feature other aspects of Salsa which originated in the Bronx giving the borough its nickname "El Condado de la Salsa" (the borough of Salsa).
The Tour de Bronx, a 25 or 40-mile-long bike tour that is New York State's largest free cycling event, has drawn over six thousand cycling enthusiasts to experience our amazing neighborhoods, waterfronts, and even historic cemeteries, while promoting a fun and environmentally-friendly method of transportation for families as well as the avid cyclist during the month of October.
Our Spring for the Bronx Action Tours (April) and Fall for the Bronx Action Tours (October), includes hiking, biking, and canoeing as some of the eco-adventures being offered to outdoor enthusiasts. In November the Savor the Bronx Restaurant Week showcases epicurean delights as we highlight some of the borough's top eateries at a discount.
The Bronx Tourism Council's website, ilovethebronx.com, is your source for everything Bronx-related. Follow us on Twitter (@BronxTourism) and Instragram (@TheBxTourism) and "like" us on facebook.com/BTCBX for specific dates for the events cited as well as the latest news from the Bronx.

Blake and his wife Kelly have four children. Blake graduated from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2005 with his Undergraduate Degree in Theology. Later, in 2008, he graduated from Southwestern Seminary with his Masters Degree in Religious Education and has also completed his Masters Degree in Divinity. He completed his DMin at New Orleans Theological Seminary in 2015. Other than spending time with his family, Blake enjoys bass fishing, hunting, CrossFit training, and reading.
Blake came to faith in Christ on April 14, 2000, after spending many years of his life believing he was saved. At the age of nine he had gone forward in a church service and told the pastor "I believe in Jesus," the next Sunday he was baptized. Sadly, it was only an act of going through the motions. There was no sincerity of heart.
However, at the age of 24, he finally realized that salvation was not about going through the religious motions. Instead salvation involves a total surrendering of one's life to Christ as Savior and Lord. This involves repentance and faith. Repentance is a change of mind, which results in a changed behavior and faith is more than belief, its commitment.
Thus, on April 14, 2000, by God's grace, turning away from living life for himself and completely surrendering to Jesus as Savior and Lord, Blake became a new man in Christ. His life has never been the same since!
He enjoys reading Christian classics. His favorite books consists of:
"The Glory of Christ" by John Owen
"Pilgrims Progress" by John Bunyan
"The Soul-Winner" by C.H. Spurgeon
"The Kneeling Christian" Author Unknown
"The Cost of Discipleship" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis
His life verse
"But I count my life of no value to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God's grace."
Pastor's Books
Pastor's books are available in the Church Office which is available Monday - Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at 405-341-0253 or online using the links below:
Soaring With The Eagles
The Priority of Prayer
You are not alone. This book sets out to empower you to soar with the eagles and take your prayers to a whole new level. Using Biblical, theological, historical, and personal viewpoints, each aspect of prayer is unraveled. Starting with the family altar, you will learn practical steps to use in your prayer life to give you hope, sustaining power, and preparedness for spiritual warfare and intercession.
Your struggle can be over. You can learn how to effectively increase your understanding and hunger for prayer today.
Unvarnished Truth
Life's Greatest Story
What is truth? A lot of people have asked that question through the ages. Unfortunately, our own opinions or desires often obscure the truth. For many, truth can become whatever we want to believe.
In much the same way as a person strips away the layers of old paint or varnish to get the original beauty of a priceless antique, this book seeks to remove all the layers of lies and opinions that clog our culture, to get to the unvarnished truth of what really matters. Through this process, we'll see that the truth in Christ becomes our greatest story.
It is time to rediscover the unvarnished truth about God and accept Jesus' challenge to share the truth with others.
Living Your Life With Influential Purpose
I believe the first step for any Christian is to know who they are in Christ. If this first step is missed or perhaps later forgotten, it can lead to a life of continual frustration, disappointment, and even depression.
Every human being on the face of the earth has an established identity - and that means you. I am not talking about your name, social security number, or even your fingerprint; I'm talking about the way you see yourself and the words you speak to yourself. Because of the sin of mankind, we as humans tend to compare ourselves to others and speak self-defeating words in our mind.
But I have great news for you: your internal negative dialogue can change! And this is what this book is all about.

The 60 Year Curriculum: Developing New Educational Models to Serve the Agile Labor Market
Chris Dede | Professor of Learning Technologies in the Graduate School of Education, Harvard University
While many individual institutions have been developing models to serve their specific communities over the long term, it's critical to come up with a broader approach that ensures all individuals can gain access to reskilling opportunities over the course of their lifetimes.
With the sponsorship of Harvard's Division of Continuing Education (DCE), I'm participating in an initiative centered on The Sixty Year Curriculum (60YC). The Dean of DCE, Hunt Lambert, is leading this effort to transform lifelong learning, which is now a necessity in our dynamic, chaotic world. The 60YC initiative is focused on developing new educational models that enable each person to reskill as their occupational and personal context shifts.
The average lifespan of the next generation is projected to be 80 to 90 years, and most people will need to work past the age of 65 to have enough savings to retire.[1] Teenagers need to prepare for a future of multiple careers spanning six decades, plus retirement. Educators are faced with the challenge of preparing young people for unceasing reinvention to take on many roles in the workplace, as well as for careers that do not yet exist.
On-the-job learning is familiar to most adults; many of us take on tasks that fall outside of our academic training. As a professor in learning technologies, I've had to reinvent my teaching and research every few years because of advances in digital technologies, increasing globalization, and shifts in society. But our children and students face a future of multiple careers, not just evolving jobs. I tell my students to prepare for their first two careers, and think about which is a better foundation as an initial job—but also to build skills for adopting future roles neither they nor I can imagine now.
A 2017 report commissioned by Pearson and conducted by the UK-based innovation foundation Nesta predicted what the working world will be like in developed countries when the pupils currently starting elementary school begin their careers. This time period spans only the initial stage of these graduates' employment, yet the report describes a future—a little more than a decade away—that is quite different from the present: a workplace strongly shaped by globalization, data-intensive decision making, advances in digital tools and media, and artificial intelligence.
Given this rate of change, education's role must be long-term capacity building—enhancing students' interpersonal and intrapersonal skills for a lifetime of flexible adaptation and creative innovation—as well as short-term preparation so that they are college- or career-ready. Education must also advance two other goals beyond preparation for work: to prepare students to think deeply in an informed way, and to prepare them to be thoughtful citizens and decent human beings.[2] Big Data, social media, and technological developments are revolutionizing how we think, how we learn, and how we communicate—reshaping all three of these educational goals.
The importance of thinking strategically about education is highlighted in a 2012 report by the US National Research Council, which posits that flexibility, creativity, initiative, innovation, intellectual openness, collaboration, leadership, and conflict resolution are essential for every individual in 21st-century life and work. These conclusions are echoed and placed in a global context by a recent OECD report.
The 60YC initiative centers on the least understood aspect of this challenge: What are the organizational and societal mechanisms by which people can reskill later in their lives, when they do not have the time or resources for a full-time academic experience that results in a degree or certificate? Thus far, attempts to address this issue have centered on what individual institutions might do. For example, in 2015 Stanford developed an aspirational vision called the Open Loop University. Georgia Tech followed in 2018, with its model for Lifetime Education.
The hallmarks of these and similar models center on providing a lifelong commitment to alumni that includes periodic opportunities to reskill through services offered by the institution; microcredentials, minimester classes, and credit for accomplishments in life; personalized advising and coaching as new challenges and opportunities emerge; and blended learning experiences with distributed worldwide availability. Some of these services will require partnerships and collaborations with organizations outside academia that have complementary strengths and missions. Further, the institutional emphasis in these models shifts to skill and competency acquisition rather than disciplinary topics and knowledge communication—the student's goal is to develop a suite of skills and strategic attitudes to make a difference in the world, rather than just attain formal academic certifications to meet the immediate requirements of a particular occupational role.
Models like these are a necessary step forward, but they are not sufficient because they focus on a single institution's ability to serve its alumni, rather than on meeting the more general need to equip and help adults from any background at any stage of their lives. 60YC is exploring a model in which a coalition of extension schools might accomplish this broader task by working together to extend their mission. Another delivery model could be regional higher education coalitions (a parallel to Western Governors University in their focus on cross-institutional cooperation). I believe a possible third approach is to reinvent unemployment insurance as "employability insurance," funding and delivering this through mechanisms comparable to health insurance. Physical wellness requires both preventive and curative care, and advice. Maintaining meaningful, financially sustainable employment in the face of occupational instability and displacement necessitates similar types of ongoing support.
Much remains to be understood about how 60YC might become the future of higher education. In my opinion, the biggest barrier we face in this process of reinventing our models for higher education is unlearning. We have to let go of deeply held, emotionally valued identities in service of transformational change to a different, more effective set of behaviors. This is both individual (an instructor transforming instructional practices from presentation and assimilation to active, collaborative learning by students) and institutional (a higher education institution transforming from degrees certified by seat time and standardized tests to credentials certified by proficiency on competency-based measures). Unlearning requires not only novel intellectual approaches, but also individual and collective emotional and social support for shifting our identities—not in terms of fundamental character and capabilities, but in terms of how those are expressed as our context shifts over time.
I hope higher education will increase its focus on the aspirational vision of 60YC as an important step towards providing a pathway to a secure and satisfying future for our students.

Make an African Journey of a lifetime and protect the ones you love.
The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is the most successful orphan-elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world today. It is one of the pioneering conservation organisations for wildlife and habitat protection in East Africa.
When a tiny new-born elephant is orphaned, it is often because its mother and family have been killed to serve the brutal ivory trade. For an elephant, family is all important; a calf's very existence depends upon its mother's milk for the first two years.
In Kenya an Elephant Nursery exists nestled within Nairobi National Park under the auspices of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which is overseen by Dr Dame Daphne Sheldrick, whose elephant experience spans a lifetime. This pioneering organisation, which works in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service offers hope for any orphaned elephant fortunate enough to be found alive.
More importantly, every one of these orphans can look forward to a quality of life in wild terms, living free in Tsavo East National Park protected by their new extended orphaned family and friends amongst the wild herds.
Judge Global is now making this wish come true. In cooperation with local travel agencies we are able to help you adopt an elephant and bring you to Kenya for the journey of a lifetime.
Visit Nairobi, captital of Kenya, to see first-hand how your contribution helps this majestic animal. Glance your eyes at the beautiful national parks, the local habitat of the elephants and all that Africa has to offer.
You can help the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust by making a donation at their website, or by booking a well-accommodated journey through Judge Global.

Combining newspaper headlines, advertisements, photojournalism, and editorial photography, Aaron Jones's collages mediate on constructions of the self in an era in which we are flooded with images. Much like Christian saints or Greek gods and goddesses, Jones's figures are defined as much by their attributes—the objects they hold or wear—as they are by their physical appearance. Intimate in scale, these constructed images often celebrate the figure of the matriarch, in both their subject matter and their profoundly domestic source material: copies of Essence and Oprah magazine, children's educational books and National Geographic that make up the props of a single parent living room.


When we think of interesting color combinations, we tend to picture completely contrasting shades. Yellow and hot pink. Green and orange. But, have you ever tried to put together a lilac and navy outfit?
Surprisingly, these colors together look amazing. Lilac and blue are not exactly next to each other on the color wheel, but they do share certain cool-tone characteristics. Together, they create a soft, chic combo that can be worn in all sorts of ways.
Lilac is often associated with spring. I always think of it as an Easter egg color. A soft pastel, good enough to eat, right? But pairing it with a color like navy allows you to wear this beautiful shade any time of year.
How do I mix lilac and navy? Read on, dear friends.
Having very little lilac in my wardrobe, I was all in when I spotted this lovely color in a jacket. When it arrived–since I'm almost totally an online shopper!–I wasn't disappointed. I like the lines and the fit. It's a tiny bit on the roomy side, which is actually not a bad thing in a jacket.
This jacket has a touch of stretch and the weave is a nice plush knit.
Since the fabric is knit, this jacket will serve as the perfect piece to transition into spring. I'll be wearing it for Easter! Lol!
Then, I had to figure out what to pair it with. I knew I wanted to style it with jeans. Even better, I wanted to wear it with my fabulous Lewit shoes. These were my splurge from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale WAY last summer. So, of course, they are no longer available, but I found some gorgeous lilac pumps you might like below!
These shoes were part of my post, Still Loving My Lilac Shoes and Ruffle-Sleeve Tee Outfit.
Finally, I had to determine which top would make this beautiful jacket stand out? So I pulled out this navy wrap-front top and decided that was it! I love the contrast of these two pieces in my lilac and navy outfit!
The top is soft cotton so it's also perfect for transitioning into the spring. Who doesn't love that?
The bag is a woven blue and tan clutch from last summer. I like the way it coordinates with the navy.
The geometric gold earrings and lariat style necklace are by Gorjana. Gorjana is a local company–from Laguna Beach here in California. I love their jewelry. It's always interesting and unique, which I love. The necklace adjusts to whatever length you need–hence, the lariat–and it is bright, hammered gold. The triangle drop earrings are the same bright gold and have lots of movement. So fun!
Thanks for spending a little time with me at AquamarinaStyle.
