The camp was a mess. As far as we could see throughout the camp there was nothing but mud and hundreds and hundreds of prisoners. The first order of business was to register. Record-keeping was a fetish with our hosts. All of our names and prior camps had to be listed and verified. This took hours but finally our combine was cleared and we were escorted by a guard to a large tent. The tent had seen better days as was obvious from the many holes in the top and sides. All bunks were taken but we found enough space on the floor to accommodate six men and their baggage. It was past the evening meal so we ate from our packs and with the help of a few friendly souls found a pot of coffee.
I was seated against the wall in preparation for sleeping when I heard my name being called by two familiar voices, Mateyka and McCall! They had been checking the recently arrived prisoners and had just spotted Sobolof and me. We were happy not only to be reunited but most importantly to know that the four of us were okay. They had arrived in Moosburg about two weeks earlier and agreed that this Stalag was worse than any they had seen, both from the standpoint of being overcrowded and dirty. We talked briefly about places we had stayed during the past month. None of us had any idea of the whereabouts of our enlisted crew. An older prisoner came to our combine and announced that he had seen us enter the tent and wondered if we were new arrivals. I told him that we had come into camp today with the contingent from Nurnberg. He introduced himself as Captain Somebody, saying that he was the senior American officer in this tent. He then handed us a pail of hot soup he had obtained from the central kitchen. We accepted his word and enjoyed the soup. An April shower passed over during the night, some of it entering the tent through the holes we observed earlier. The next day Sobolof and I were assigned to one of the standard German Army barracks.
April 22 to 27. This camp is much worse than we had expected. Everything is pretty disorganized and the Germans are arrogant and edgy. There is one centrally located cooking facility operated by prisoners and supervised by a German non-com. They provide hot water for coffee or tea and soup an an irregular schedule. There is no wood available for use by the prisoners in their Small make-shift stoves. To make matters worse, the grounds are ankle-deep in mud despite the fact that it rained only one day this week! We were informed that this had been a swamp at one time and that it was always wet. Further, the mosquitoes breed here by the millions during the summer months. Something great to look forward to. However, we plan to be out of here this month! Our beds are the typical triple bunks with mattresses filled with straw and all of the Same little critters we haue met before. My mattress was mysteriously wavy with what felt like steel rods supporting it about every two feet. I soon discovered the reason. Wood for cooking had been so scarce that someone had shaved the bed slats to obtain kindling, and the original three-inch-wide bed slats were down to about an roch and a half. I was surprised that they had not broken, but it seemed that they were made of a kind of tough hardwood. During the ensuing week I managed to cut these slats down to about one roch and they still held.
April 28. We could hear artillery fire in the distance coming from the west and southwest. This is the direction that General Patton is supposedly coming from. I hope! I walked around the camp visiting with Mateyka and McCall in their big tent and talking with several others including two guards. Everybody is on edge, expecting that Patton will take the camp any time. The Germans are also sure of that. Food is secondary today. There is some but not much, a little self made meatless stew and real good week-old bread. There was very little sleeping tonight. We were mentally helping Patton come through. We could hear the artillery getting closer by the minute and the resulting sounds and the vibrations reminded me of a Midwest thunder storm.
April 29. Daybreak brought the sound of shouting and gunfire at the front gate. From our barracks we could See German troops near that gate, and they were firing in! We were ordered to stay inside as the Germans began fighting each other. We found out later when bodies were being loaded onto a truck that the Gestapo had attempted to take the camp from the Wehrmacht. Little did we know at that time, but Hitler had issued an order to kill all of the prisoners in the camp. The Gestapo and the SS troops attempted to carry out that Order, and the German army had saved our lives. Almost on cue after the fighting stopped, American troops backed by one tank and one Jeep arrived at the front gate. The German army personnel surrendered immediately. The American flag was raised over Moosburg at 1240 hours, and it was a sight that brought tears to many eyes. At 1315, General Patton came through the gate, standing erect in his Jeep behind his driver. Another Jeep followed with four heavily armed soldiers. There, finally, was Old Blood and Guts in Person with those famous pistols an his hips. Tears were rolling down hundreds of faces including mine. The memories and the visions of this day will live with me forever.
Patton stayed for about a half hour after giving a short speech, adding "we will whip the bastards all the way to Berlin." I was elated when he extended his hand for a shake, something he rarely did. This day of liberation was the anniversary of my graduation from bombardier school and commissioning as a Second Lieutenant, a year during which I also celebrated my 21st birthday.
April 30. There has been a steady parade of American Jeeps and Army officers in and out of camp ostensibly for the purpose of organizing our evacuation. We were ordered not to leave the camp and to behave like gentlemen while we were waiting to leave. This was one order almost totally ignored, but made easier bv the stream of food and clothing that continued to arrive. The center of attraction today was two Red Cross girls who arrived about noon with a ton of doughnuts and plenty of good coffee.
May 1 to 5. Every day has been a picnic with plenty of food, wood to cook with and bread that tasted like cake. And thank the Good Lord no more barley. Small groups of prisoners are being moved out every day to the airport at Landshut and then flown to Le Havre, France in C-47's, the military version of the Douglas DG3. I am among a group scheduled to leave on the 6th.
May 6. We are an our way to the airport, where upon arrival we see hundreds of ex-POW's camped an the ground but only one C-47. It seems like we are back in the good old American Army, but no one is really complaining. We are told that we may be here a few days because there were more prisoners than expected and they must arrange for more planes. Fortunately, the weather is good.
May 7. We are still at Landshut. I was sitting at the very end of the line with two ex-prisoners I did not know when an American Captain drove up to us in a Jeep. He asked if the three of us would like to accompany him into town. What a dumb question! As we left the airport he announced that we were going to the local brewery to do some liberating. The brewmaster tried to be gracious but it was obvious that we really weren't welcome until the Captain handed him a $10 bill. This brought a smile and another dumb question, "would you like some beer?" We came away with two kegs of very heavenly brew. The Captain left one for us to share, and took the other with him. There is now a happy bunch waiting at the end of the live.
May 8. The Party is over. We are boarding a plane today and leaving Germany an a happy note!

Anyone selling Dragon Balls ain't going to have to work too hard to get me to part with my pennies, and similarly a 250 gram tuo of shou Pu-erh like this one is always going to possess a high "Me Want!" factor.
To my credit I did Google around a bit for reviews before hitting the "Buy" button, and having found favourable opinions, including one from a respected Pu-head I happen to know has broadly similar tastes to my own, the deal was done.
Probably to no-one's great surprise, this tea was yet another purchase from Swedish company House of Tea. The producer is the Jing Dong Wen Long tea factory.
The material originates from the Wu Liang area of Xishuangbanna prefecture in Yunnan province, and is a 2007 pressing of leaves harvested in 2005.
The 250 gram tuo was moderately pressed, meaning that it was a relatively simple affair to dive in with my pick and free off the required amount of leaf.
The rinsed leaves smelled of wet paper with a hint of camphor.
The early steeps were all vanilla sweet with that camphor note still in the mix. There was very little of the typical shou earthiness, and a fleeting, intense "lily of the valley" kind of scent lingered on in the cup.
Early on the body was a bit light, but then became pleasantly oily before transforming into creamy bordering on buttery round about the third steeping. Pleasant, but not quite Orc blood.
The soup was typically shou-dark with a luscious sheen to it, although I got the feeling that it was still not quite as opaque as something like, say, Brown Sugar.
The cha Qi was a slow builder, delivering a warming effect in the upper body towards the end of the session. This was no sheng induced sweatathon, to be sure, but was still a noticeably stronger reaction than many shous I've drunk.
After the 6th infusion I needed to bump up the duration of the steeping times to compensate for the tea starting to run out of steam, but just a couple of infusions later we were done. Still, 9 infusions is fairly good going.
To sum up, then, this isn't a "proclaim its greatness from atop a high building with a megaphone" tea, but is still nevertheless a sound addition to the "daily drinker" stable.

Impervious surfaces like asphalt, cement and roofing prevent infiltration of rainfall into the soil, disrupting the water cycle and affecting both the quantity and quality of our water resources. In recent years, research has shown the amount of impervious surface in a watershed to be a reliable indicator of the impacts of development on water resources.
NEMO has long been associated with the topic of impervious surfaces, but until now we've never collected all our stuff in one place. Well, here it is—along with some of other people's stuff, too.
The Planning & Design section mostly links to existing resources from NEMO and other shops. The Estimating & Mapping section contains summaries of the many methods that we've used here at UConn to keep track of impervious surface, with frequent links to the Literature section for those who want more detailed information. And, for those in Connecticut, the Data & Maps section will eventually become a one-stop shopping center for impervious-meisters. Keep checking back, because we intend to improve and expand this site as new information and studies become available.

2428 - 08 February 2020
Regional market strong despite a year of turmoil
Business was certainly hard-won but the elite of Britain and Ireland's regional fine art auction houses enjoyed a largely positive 2019.
Among the best-sellers at Adam Partridge, this mid-17th century English verge enamelled pocket watch signed Guillaume Petit, Londini, took £16,000 (plus premium) in May.
Against an unhelpful background of political chaos and lukewarm demand in some traditional collecting areas, the market offered both the potential for spectacular individual sales and ample opportunity for new firms to make a mark.
Solid January to December hammer totals were posted by all of the major contenders who reported annual numbers to ATG, with a range of mid-table firms achieving record sums.
Woolleys on top
Woolley & Wallis held on to the top spot it has occupied for much of the past decade. Calendar year sales at the Salisbury salerooms were £17.37m. It was down on the £19.82m posted in 2018 but an increase on 2017 when the equivalent figure was £15.7m.
The two strongest departments were Asian art (£6m) and jewellery (£3.3m) with a top price of £2.3m bid in May for The Grand View of Chao Mountain by celebrated Chinese 20th century artist Zhang Da Qian. It was the firm's 11th seven-figure lot and the 15th sold in any UK regional saleroom.
That national total became 16 when a large iron red, blue and white vase with a Yongzheng mark sold for £1.3m at Andrew Smith in Itchen Stoke in September.
The year was one of transition for Woolleys with the semi-retirement of former chairman Paul Viney in September and Clive Stewart-Lockhart's decision to step down as deputy chairman in the spring. Jeremy Lamond, former director of Halls, will be joining at the end of March as head of the valuations department and associate director.
New chairman John Axford told ATG the firm had hit the ground running this year. "It's encouraging that the first furniture sale of 2020 was the best we've ever had," he said.
'The Grand View of Chao Mountain', dated February 1968, by Zhang Da Qian (1899-1983), was the top lot of the year – sold for £2.3m (plus premium) at Woolley & Wallis in May.
Back among the cream
With the second full year of trading under its belt since a change in ownership (from Stanley Gibbons to Gurr Johns in October 2017), Dreweatts' 2019 total hammer was £14.73m. It brings the firm back among the cream of regional fine art auction houses.
The figure, reflecting sales of £13.6m at Donnington Priory and £1.1m in books and manuscripts at Bloomsbury, was more than 20% up on the 2018 of £12.11m. The top price of the year was the £290,000 bid for a Yongzheng mark and period celadon glazed 'dragon' vase – among the bountiful crop of Chinese art lots offered in the UK regions during November.
There had been, said managing director Jonathan Pratt, "strong performances across all the specialist departments and significant uplift in online traffic".
Online bidders spent £5.6m in 2019 – around 38% of Dreweatts' total sales – although Pratt stressed the importance of a saleroom environment to show items at their best.
"We are very fortunate to operate from a beautiful Georgian building positioned alongside the River Lambourn – the collections from Plaish Hall (£462,000) and Oakley House (£578,000) were both good examples of what we can achieve [here]."
In March, Dreweatts will offer the private collection of the eminent architect Sir William Whitfield (1920-2019) in a flagship two-day sale. Interior design firm Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler will present selected items from the sale in room sets in Newbury and at the firm's London gallery.
The greatest change to the hierarchy in recent years has been the arrival at the top table of Chiswick Auctions.
The west London firm has morphed from a general saleroom on the periphery of the London market (sales were around £2m in 2015) to a key metropolitan player staffed by ex-CSK and other specialists.
In 2019 the firm consolidated its position with a hammer total of £14m – the same as 2018 and up from sales of £9m in 2017.
Leigh Osborne, Chiswick Auctions' managing director, said: "The year has seen some great results in our specialist sales [including a house record of £370,000 for a 10.51ct Burmese ruby and diamond ring] but we are also delighted with the popularity of our interiors sales. A range of themed sales are planned for this year [the first titled From the Curious to the Extraordinary was held in January], so that we can cover broader interests and offer something for everyone."
Tennants offered 80 sales and sold almost 40,000 lots in 2019, culminating in a solid hammer total of £11.8m. The figure was down on 2018 (£13.3m) when the North Yorkshire firm sold more six-figure lots. Single-owner private collections provided the firm with its best moments in 2019: the top price of the year was for a 1970s Rolex Daytona 'Big Red' sold for £120,000.
Capital expansion
In 2019 the 38 auctions conducted by Lyon & Turnbull totalled a hammer of £11.5m, almost £1m up on the previous year (£10.65m).
The firm benefited from continued growth in London, with two new sale formats: The Classic Tradition offering traditional pictures and the two Modern Made catalogues, the first at the Mall Galleries in the spring including a record £200,000 for Growth 1, 1968 by Malaysian Modernist Abdul Latiff Mohidin (b.1938). The highest price for the year at the Edinburgh headquarters was £130,000 for a first-edition Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species in October.
"Since we opened our gallery and offices on Connaught Street in 2017, London sales have grown steadily and now stand at eight per year and we are looking to grow them further," managing director Gavin Strang told ATG. He added that the firm had also completed some notable private sales.
"A highlight was an important Islamic textile that we sold to an American museum on behalf of a UK-based collector."
At Sworders in Stansted Mountfitchet chairman Guy Schooling said his firm's turnover was £9.5m – "up on last year [£9m] and an excellent result bearing in mind we held the £1.75m North Mymms Park auction in 2018".
In a year when the business opened a viewing and consignment office in London's Cecil Court, the highpoints were provided by two single-owner sales (the Barbara Holiday collection from Cumbria in January and the contents of Alderley House, Gloucestershire, in July) plus six-figure contributions from a Cedric Morris oil (£160,000) and the 'charity shop' Qianlong wall vase (a house record of £380,000).
"It will be a tough act to follow," said Schooling.
"However, we were joined at the end of the year by two seasoned, experienced and proven business getters, Luke Macdonald and Stephen Giles. We are sure they will provide much additional income."
Brexit effects
In Dublin, Adam's managing director James O'Halloran said the market had been tempered by the political chaos and cautious spending that marked the Brexit process.
"The 'B' word was on everyone's mind in Ireland during 2019. Now that some clarity has been brought to the situation, we have some hope that confidence will increase in the art, jewellery and antiques markets here."
He said 2019 was little different in real terms on the 2018 results with turnover from 20 auctions and 4500 lots increasing marginally to €12m (up from €11.6m). Jewellery and Irish paintings blanket-covered all of the firm's top 20 prices in 2019 although 'At Home' auctions of traditional antiques and collectables and 'Mid Century Modern' auctions of Contemporary art and Mid-century furniture are among the most popular events at the St Stephen's Green salerooms.
Fellow Dublin firm Whyte's enjoyed a share of the city's showpiece sale in 2019 with the Ernie O'Malley collection (held in association with Christie's in November) bringing a premium-inclusive €5.42m led by Reverie, a 1931 Jack Yeats oil sold for a record €1.4m (£1.2m).
Some subtle changes to the status quo can be found in the rise of relative newcomers such as Hannam's in Selborne, Hampshire (which reported a 22% increase year-on-year to £4.8m), and jewellery specialist Elmwood's in Notting Hill (up 363% to £5.1m – see above left).
There were also outstanding years for some long-established 'mid-table' firms.
Reeman Dansie in Colchester is celebrating its most successful year of sales in the firm's 138-year history with hammer figures of £4.8m. "We found that market conditions in 2019 were surprisingly buoyant," said managing director James Grinter.
The firm enjoyed a sensational sale in September courtesy of a £600,000 collection of approximately 300 unframed antiquarian maps of the Philippines and Far East. An early edition of the map of Philippines by Murillo Velarde, dated 1734, set a new house record of £260,000.
This year, to augment its six Fine Art sales and quarterly Collectors' sales, the firm will hold Homes & Interiors auctions where estimates will typically range from £30-250.
"With increased concern for unnecessary consumption of our planet's resources, auctions can play a key role in the battle against the throw-away society," said Grinter. "Reeman Dansie is justly proud to have been recycling for 138 years."
The Dominic Winter auction house in South Cerney, Gloucestershire, reported its "best calendar year to date, with a hammer total of just over £5.5m, up 17% on what had been a brilliant 2018".
The highpoint of the year for the books and memorabilia specialist firm was the extraordinary library of the bookseller Martin Orskey which hammered £750,000 across 440 lots. This helped the average lot hammer price across the year jump from £480 in 2018 to £660 in 2019.
Senior valuer Chris Albury told ATG: "The coming year looks equally positive. I expect the steep price increases to continue for the crème de la crème, and for unique items with compelling associations."
Ewbank's marked 30 years in business with its highest-ever annual sales total of £3.7m.
"Brexit uncertainty undoubtedly dampened the market so the small rise on our £3.6m total for 2018 was a remarkable achievement," said chairman Chris Ewbank, who launched the business in 1990.
"The most spectacular success has been with our entertainment and sports memorabilia department, which registered over £1m and, after quite a short period, has now taken over as our leading department."
The Surrey firm is planning to add several timed auctions to the schedule for 2020, the first being coins in March. Already 50-60% of items routinely sell to online bidders.
Old-fashioned values
Richard Winterton of Lichfield had broken through the £2m barrier for the first time in 2018 (up 33% on 2017). In 2019 the firm posted £2.4m – a further increase of 21%.
It came without a big-ticket item and a difficult market for traditional chatells.
"In that figure there was no show-stopper, just plenty of good old-fashioned basic auctioneering," said Winterton.
The firm is in the early stages of plans to add another three salerooms to its current auction complex, increasing space by around a third.
In north-west England, sales at Adam Partridge totalled £3.5m (down from a record £4m in 2018). The aggregate from two salerooms in Macclesfield (£2.71) and Liverpool (£0.78m) came without the 'windfall' lots that had helped figures in recent years and meant that the firm held its market share in the region where Knutsford auction house Wright Marshall ceased trading in August.
Partridge looked at acquiring the fine art tranche of that business but opted instead to launch a new venture further up the M6 in Catterall. Small specialist sales are planned there this year with furniture and other items sent for sale in Macclesfield and Liverpool.
Elmwood's: a rapid riser
9.46ct Kashmir sapphire ring sold by Elmwood's in July for £140,000 (plus buyer's premium).
London boutique saleroom Elmwood's raced up the standings in 2019 with jewellery sales totalling £5.1m – up from £1.1m in 2018. Begun as a one-man-band by ex-Chiswick specialist Samuel Hill in 2017, the Notting Hill firm has won business – perhaps at the expense of more established auction houses – with a bespoke, end-to-end service and aggressive margins.
With 'best in class' gemstones remaining an area of strength, a quartet of five-figure sales in 2019 included a house record £140,000 in July for a 9.46ct Kashmir sapphire ring.
From modest beginnings two and a half years ago, Elmwood's now employs nine staff including chief business-getter Adam Johnson, newly promoted associate director Beth Dawson and recent recruit Rene Dub, formerly a jewellery specialist at Christie's and Phillips in Geneva.
In late February they will leave the current office at Munro Mews for a new gallery on Talbot Road – a 2000 sq ft space that will allow for full pre-sale viewings. Auctions will continue to be held 'live' but without a traditional saleroom environment: bidders are instead invited to bid via phone, on commission or via internet platforms.
Around 12 sales are planned for the year, with the first of two select events scheduled for March.
Athelhampton and Asian art boost for Duke's
On the back of a new programme of auctions, 2019 proved to be a record year for Duke's of Dorchester.
Although a January to December figure was not available at the time of going to press, sale revenues in the final quarter of the year alone were £5.63m.
The contents of Athelhampton House were followed by a stellar Asian art sale that included both the collection of local connoisseur Anthony du Boulay and the Qianlong celadon and enamel teapot, sold at £800,000.
The Qianlong celadon and enamel teapot, sold at Duke's for £800,000.
Partner Guy Schwinge described the positive reaction to the Athelhampton sale as a "good news story for furniture".
He added: "We sense an upturn in traditional collecting areas now we have clarity on Brexit and a government with a majority. How Brexit plays out is another issue entirely."
Like many other auction houses, Duke's reports pressure on margins with fierce competition meaning minimal vendor's commission for the best consignments.
Forum and Fellows: making the most of online bidding
Based in Battersea, Forum Auctions recorded sales of £9.81m – a year-on-year growth of 15% (up from £8.47m in 2018). Of this, £5.1m were books, maps and manuscripts, £4.2m were prints and editions with £0.52m of wine completing the total.
Top lots included the £172,000 sale of previously unknown letters, prints, drawings and watercolours of Native American subjects by George Catlin in March and the Banksy numbered edition Girl with Balloon sold in December at £120,000.
The focus in 2020 is on selling more lots online. According to CEO and founder Stephan Ludwig: "Of the 11,000 lots we offered for sale in 2019 fewer than 500 were hammered down to a bidder's paddle 'in the room'.
"While we of course warmly welcome clients to attend our auctions, it has been clear for some time that our future growth is inextricably tied into accessing new collectors from the increasingly e-commerce-savvy global shopper community."
During 2019 timed auctions hammered £1.59m which represented 17% of overall sales and almost 20% of overall commission revenues. Forum projects that the 50 timed auctions it intends to hold this year will represent more than a quarter of overall sales, hammering over £2.5m.
'Wah-ro-néesah, The Surrounder, Chief of the [Otoe] Tribe', a c.1832 watercolour by George Catlin – £89,000 (plus premium) at Forum Auctions.
At jewellery and watches specialist auction house Fellows, timed online sales are similarly important.
Stephen Whittaker, managing director, said 2019 was "another progressive year at Fellows, from the introduction of our own live-bidding platform to the success of our online timed auctions which have gone from strength to strength.
"We are continuing to thrive in the ever-changing modern climate and we are hopeful that we can build on these successes in 2020. Our first flagship watch and jewellery auctions of the year will hopefully set a positive precedent for the following months."
Fellows is also differentiating its service by offering free postage on its major sales, an initiative it began last year and which it has decided to extend into 2020.
ATG's annual round-up of regional auction houses' activity provides a snapshot of market conditions and performance at a sample of firms based on the hammer totals they report to us. The term 'regional' (or 'provincial') auction houses is used to draw a distinction between the majority of UK and Irish art and antiques auction houses and the 'London big four' (Christie's, Sotheby's, Bonhams and Phillips). Totals reported to us after deadline will be added to this article online.

Okay, we're ready for the last program this afternoon, and then we'll be heading out for home. For those of you joining us on television, again we want to thank you for your prayers more than anything, but also for your letters and your financial help. Naturally, we can't do this without it.
Well you know, I imagine a lot of people think that. Because where do people get all their funds? Well, from what they do. So it was a logical response. We didn't know anything about TV. You know, as I always tell people, we were the takers of a clod of dirt when it came to television. But anyhow, here we are, and we have to pay for TV time. The television people don't pay us a dime.
"Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers (See, there's that word again.) of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God." What's a steward? Well, let's look at Scripture. Go back to Genesis chapter 15 – Abraham.
Genesis chapter 15, but first let's stop at chapter 12 and the Abrahamic Covenant. Just for a second so that you'll know what Abram, as his name was still, what he was up against.
"And I will make of thee a great nation,…" Now, that's as far as we've got to go to make my point. What would Abraham have to have if a nation is going to come from him? Children! How many did he have? None!
All right, so here he's getting almost befuddled with the idea—how could people come from me and even my own wife Sarai when we don't have a child? All right, now you come over to chapter 15 in Genesis and still no child. Still the promises keep ringing in his ears.
Now verse 2, don't forget the fact that Abram is 90 and Sarai is 80, and they still won't have a child until he is 100 and she's 90. But nevertheless, they're already past childbearing age.
And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?" What'd he mean? What's a steward? A manager, an overseer, an administrator.
And we know that Abram had tremendous wealth. He had men servants and women servants. He had cattle and sheep and goats, and he couldn't run it all himself. So he had this steward, this overseer, this manager, Eliezer of Damascus. All right, now come back to I Corinthians 4 and maybe this verse will mean a little bit more to you.
So every one of us as believers are stewards of this body of truth. It's up to us to get it out in front of people every opportunity that we get, in one place or another. You don't have to use all of them at once. But let people know – hey, this is where it's at! You won't find this back in the four Gospels. You won't find this back in the Old Testament. You won't find it in the Book of Revelation. You find it only between Romans and Philemon.
That's why I'm constantly stressing—study Paul's epistles. Now, you don't throw the rest of your Bible away. You know I don't teach that, because I just used it. Man, I love to use Genesis. I love to use the prophets. But I'm not going to take people back there to show them how to be saved. I'm not going to take them back there to show them how to live the Christian life in 2,000—wherever we are. But we are to be stewards of these basic premises that we are calling now the mysteries of Christ and God and so forth. All right, let's read on here a little bit—verse 2.
"Moreover it is required in stewards, (overseers, managers) that a man be found (What?) faithful." Now I imagine everyone in this room has known of someone who has been a victim of embezzlement or of a floor manager. I've known several in my lifetime who just simply got taken to the cleaners by an embezzler. I think of another fellow who had managers of his operation, and they stole him blind until he almost went broke. Well, you see, it's the same thing in the spiritual.
If we are going to keep all this to ourselves and never pass it on, are we going to enhance the Body of Christ? No. We've got to share it. Like I said, you don't know all seven of these and pass them out at one time, but be ready. Be ready to share these things that most of Christendom knows nothing of. They won't hear it. Most of Christendom don't have a clue about these things, because they've never been taught it. But this is where we ought to understand that as believers in this Age of Grace, we are stewards. We are household managers of this body of truth that we call the Dispensation of the Grace of God.
All right, I hardly know where to go first, because there is so much to cover, and I don't want to get it all mixed up. But let me just continue on here in I Corinthians 4. Some of these verses disturb people. Well, I can't help it, because it's what the Book says. Come on over with me now in this same chapter, I Corinthians 4, and go to verse 16. Remember, what's the basic instruction in the beginning of the chapter? Be stewards and ministers of Christ of these mysteries of God.
Now how are we going to be a good steward? Well, we have to be taught. You don't just automatically come in and run somebody's business without some training. So, where do we get our training? I Corinthians 4 verse 16, and as I said, most won't like this.
"Wherefore (Paul says by inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Not by Paul's own ideas. But he says–) I beseech you, be ye followers of me." Most people say it should say Jesus. But it doesn't. It says, "Be ye followers of me." Paul. Now don't worry, I'm coming to the right point. Here's I Corinthians chapter 11. Now verse 1, and now this will set your mind at ease.
"Be ye followers of me, (But don't leave the rest of the verse out.) even as I also am of Christ." Do you see that? Now see, this Apostle had direct communions with the Christ in Glory. He had direct fellowship in more than one area. In fact, let me give you an example. I've got to back everything up with Scripture. I can't help it.
Come back with me to the Book of Acts chapter 22. This is even besides his experience on the road to Damascus. This is years later. So I know that the man was in fellowship with the ascended Lord. Now he's been out amongst the Gentiles and has been establishing these little congregations. Now he's back in Jerusalem. Because he always had a heart for his fellow Jews, and he would bring back offerings to take care of the poor Jews in Jerusalem. Here's one of his instances where he has come back to Jerusalem from his Gentile travels.
All right, then he actually argues with the Lord.
"And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: 20. And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept (or I held) the raiment of them that killed him.
"And he, (the Lord Jesus) said unto me, Depart: (Depart what? Jerusalem. Get out, see?) for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles." That's where Paul's ministry was. Not in Jerusalem. But on into the Gentile world. So we know that he had constant communion with the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
All right, let's go over a little further to Philippians chapter 3 and verse 17. Now here are three distinct instructions of who we are to follow. And most of Christendom gets all bent of shape, and says, "I'm not going to follow some man. I'm going to follow Jesus." Well, listen, God gave to this man this place of Apostleship. Christ Himself designated Paul as "The Apostle of the Gentiles." And as this man follows Christ, we are to follow him. And here's the third one now in just these few references, and there several more like them.
"Brethren, be ye followers together of me, and mark them who walk so as ye have us for an example." Now, how did Paul walk? Above reproach.
You cannot find one word of Scripture that anybody ever had anything to malign the Apostle's Christian walk, if you want to call it that. Never! He was above reproach. And he suffered for it for twenty some years. So when I maintain that as our Apostle this is where we are to spend our time—in his letters—it is because they are God's letters to us as Gentiles. And it's through his letters that we not only find Salvation, but the Christian walk.
In fact, let's just go to Titus chapter 2 for a minute. Now who in the world can argue against these kinds of admonitions? Titus chapter 2 verse 11.
"For the grace of God…" See, Paul is always on that grace thing. We're saved by grace, we're kept by grace, and we look forward to whatever eternity is coming by grace. We don't deserve any of it.
I just told my class the other night here in Oklahoma. Don't ask me to explain that. I can't. But there are three Scripture references that maintain that every human being has had an opportunity. Now I'm getting looks of consternation, so I have to stop right there. Come back with me to John's Gospel, because I don't like to say things like that and then leave it hanging by a cotton thread. Go back to John's Gospel chapter 1. I might as well, in order to make it clear as clear can make it, start at verse 6. Here we're dealing with John the Baptist.
"There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, (Now the word Light is capitalized, so it's a reference to Jesus Christ of Nazareth.) that all men through him might believe." How many? All!
"He was not that Light, (speaking of John) but was sent to bear witness of that Light." Now verse 9—my, this blows me away. I can't explain it. I have to just leave it where it sits, and you can do the same thing.
"That was the true Light, (Jesus of Nazareth in His earthly ministry) which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." How many? Every last one!
The Aborigines in the middle of Australia? Yeah. The pagans wherever they may be in the world? Yes. Nobody is going to come before the Throne and say, "But God, I never had a chance." You know why? Scripture! Now come over with me to Romans and then we'll go back to Titus. I'm not through in Titus, yet. Romans chapter 1 and we'll start at verse 18.
"For the wrath of God (Notice it doesn't say the love of God, but rather the wrath.) is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;…" In other words, God put them in the spotlight. And there it is. No argument.
"…for God hath showed it unto them. (Shown what? Their unrighteousness. Their wickedness.) 20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; (In other words, who He is.) so that they (the unsaved multitude) are (What?) without excuse." Now just let that soak in.
Every human being is somehow or another enlightened enough where they could cash in and have salvation, but they refuse to. So when they come before the Great White Throne, they're not going to have one word of argument, because they're going to know they are there without any excuse. Now that's one of the quirks of Scripture. Like I said, I can't answer it. So we'll just wait until we get there. But it's a fact that Christ died for every human being that's ever lived.
What the pastor was pointing out was how Christ suffered so horrendously for the sins of the world. And she didn't think she'd agree with it. So this is what I wrote back. By the time this program reaches her, she will already have read my letter. I said, "My dear lady. Now you're talking like these Jesus Seminar Liberals, who, the last comment I read from one was, 'how in the world could any Father cause his son to go through what Jesus went through?'" And that's how they ridicule it. How would anybody with any common sense make their son suffer like that?
So I said you sound like some of these Jesus Seminars Liberals. I said, listen, the whole idea of His suffering was that He was taking the sin debt for the whole human race. Not just a few, but for the whole human race.
I gave her an example that we had experienced in Israel one day that goes back quite a few years, and we were still able to go into the Dome of the Rock. The Muslims don't like to call it the mosque, it's a Shrine. But in those days, we could still take off our shoes, and we could go in. Inside the Dome of the Rock there's this huge rock where supposedly Abraham offered Isaac. And it's got a retaining fence around it.
But anyhow, the guy had our small group right there at the high point of the rock. He was explaining how that some of the Jews feel that that was the exact place of the ark at which they slaughtered all the animals. And the unique thing was that the animal blood would go right down into a cavern and it would go out into the River Kidron. So our little Jewish guide was expressing the same kind of thought. He said, you know folks, I just cannot believe that God would require people to kill those innocent lambs. And he said many times that lamb would be the household pet.
I stopped him right there. I said, now, wait a minute. Don't you understand the reason God set up that sacrificial system? And there would be more of an impact if it was the household pet. But it was that Jew's sin that caused that animal to die. He had to see the horribleness of his own sin.
Well, the same way with the cross. We've got to understand that when Christ suffered and died, He did that because of our sin! And sin in the eyes of God is awful! We've lost it. All right, so this is what we have to understand. That God wasn't being unfair to His Son. He wasn't being morbid. He was doing what had to be done. Someone had to suffer and die for the sins of mankind, and who could do it but God Himself? He had to be God.
All right, that was all free for nothing. Come back to where we were in Titus, and then we'll close. Titus chapter 2—this is what we mean by following the writings of Paul. It's so logical. It's so appropriate. Verse eleven again.
"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men." But for us who believe, now the next verse kicks in. The Grace of God teaches you and me as a believer, as a Child of God, and as a Joint Heir with Christ. We're taught.
Now, where did the word Christian come from? Christ-like. That's right. To the pagan world it was actually a slur term. When it first originated, the pagan's put it on these believers who they thought were Christ-like. They called them Christians. All right, that's what they've got here. We are to live Christ-like.
Now there you go with the teachings of Jesus, and I have no problem with that. When he said that we are to be salt of the earth, absolutely, we ought to be. Are we to be the light? Sure, we're to be light. And so many other things that He taught are certainly appropriate.
But, by-and-large, we come back to how did the Apostle Paul put it? We deny ungodliness. We deny worldly lusts and desires. And instead we live soberly, we live righteously, we live godly in this present world. Even in our daily life, this is how we are to live. And at the same moment, while we are living the Christian life—that doesn't mean that you can't pursue happiness. It doesn't mean that you can't pursue enough to leave for your kids. In fact, Scripture admonishes us to. Parents are there for children and not children for parents.
So, there is not anything wrong with working and, as we say in America, trying to get ahead. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as it doesn't become first place on your agenda. But while we're working, while we're doing whatever we're doing, what should we be doing?
"Looking for that blessed hope, (And what's the blessed hope for us as believers?) and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ:" And then see the next verse.
"Who gave Himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar (or a set apart) people, zealous of good works." Of course we're going to do all we can to help our fellow man. Nothing's better than to help someone who is destitute, and that's all part of our being stewards of the mystery.


Here's a simple and FREE way to make a set of battling ropes.
Step 1: Take a drive over to a local Fire Station and ask if they have any old hose they are throwing out.
Step 2: Ask if they have any old hose they are throwing out.
Step 3: Cut it to 40′ or 50′ length.
Step 5: GET TO WORK.


You know how knowledge works in that strange way, where the more you think you know, the more you come to realize you don't actually know? Right. Just when I thought I had figured out exactly what to do with our garden area...just when we gathered the necessary materials...and started building away...and began lamenting the fact that the space wasn't going to be quite ready for all I had envisioned this summer...just then...I SAW THIS.
I think I mentioned that we were wanting to move toward permaculture farming, but until now, I hadn't really come across anything succinct or simple enough for me to feel comfortable putting the method into practice. I was always gathering bits and pieces of the puzzle, but honestly didn't understand exactly how they fit together or in what order.
And that's the odd thing about the timing of all this, really. I'm sure all those puzzle pieces were easily placed, but I'm not sure I was ready to see the picture just yet. I tend to have a plan, deliberately and sometimes painfully thought out, which often makes it difficult to adapt when things (inevitably) go astray. My life lesson. Yes, very much so.
But I've learned that when better knowledge comes along, I would be foolish to blindly follow my plan and ignore it. I know that it would feel wrong that way.
And I know that changing course at what initially seems like the most inopportune time can actually lead to better things.
So our vision for this garden space has shifted course a bit. There's still much work to be begun, but building up our soil in this way just feels right. I'm excited at the new road ahead - unfamiliar and unplanned, but oh it feels good to be free that way!
Have you experimented with the no-till method? I'm so curious how it worked for you if you're willing to share!
We've done some no-till gardening (we practice sheet composting, which sounds very similar to what's in the video you linked to)--I've never had so much success as this year! We haven't done the big time mulching though with wood chips, but we'll do that for next year, especially since we seem doomed to eternal drought and our water bill is pretty high.
We're in the process of buying a farm and I've been trying to wrap my head around how we're going to implement permaculture. I feel wholly unprepared. It's exciting and totally intimidating. Good luck! I can't wait to see what you guys end up doing!
A friend of mine told me about this film and I loved it, we're going to try this method next year for sure. Good luck!
I can so relate to this post because it's the exact same for us. We're trying to work toward permaculture, but it hasn't been easy. As you mention, knowledge is one thing, and experience is another. What makes it harder for me, is that the books are written for particular areas, i.e. wherever the author lives. I can't copycat what they do because I have different climate, different soil, different weather patterns, different native plants, different problems. I've resigned myself that it's going to be a lot of experimenting, trial and error so to speak, except that I have to view the "error" as part of the process. Not much help, I know, but that's where we're at!
Have you seen the film A Farm for the Future? Next time you have a minute, look it up. I know you'll love it.
Thanks, Sophie! I just finished watching it - loved it!
We are testing out no-tilling this year. so far so good, except for the weeds. the weeds. our son "fed" the garden chicken scratch - so now we have wheat, barley, and lentils sprouting up everywhere!!

Newer Samsung devices like the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S7 come with a pretty cool feature that lets you take vertically-scrolling screenshots to capture an entire app or website. But right now, this is still a Samsung-exclusive feature, as it relies on the underlying TouchWiz framework to capture these long screenshots.
Fortunately, for those of us who don't own a new Galaxy device, developer Glitch has an incredibly easy workaround. His app will detect when you've captured multiple, overlapping screenshots in most cases, and automatically stitch them together seamlessly. The end result is a perfect replica of this Samsung feature, so you can take those same long, vertical screenshots on any Android device.
When you first launch Stitch & Share, you'll get a quick demo. As this explains, the vertical screenshot feature will work almost exactly the same as capturing a regular screenshot on your device. The only difference is that you'll need to take multiple, overlapping screenshots of the vertically-scrolling app—and when you've done with that, Stitch & Share will automatically detect the screenshots, stitch them together, and post a notification to inform you that your long screenshot is ready.
So like the tutorial says, just take a series of screenshots to try it out. When Stitch & Share detects multiple overlapping screenshots, you'll see a notification that says "Screenshots stitched." Just tap this notification to view the long screenshot that was automatically created, then press the share button in the bottom-right corner of your screen to save or share your screenshot (more on this in Step 4 below).
Occasionally, Stitch & Share won't automatically detect that you've taken multiple, overlapping screenshots. But that's no biggie, because it's almost as easy to manually create your own long screenshots.
To use this method, simply open the Stitch & Share app, then press the + button in the top-right corner. From here, use the following menu to select the topmost screenshot in the series.
Next, tap the + button again to add the second screenshot in your series, then repeat this same process for any remaining screenshots. Once you've added all of the images, you'll see that Stitch & Share has automatically aligned all of your screenshots into one continuous picture.
Whether you made your long screenshot manually, or Stitch & Share did it for you automatically, saving or sharing the image will be the same process. To begin, simply tap the share button in the bottom-right corner of Stitch & Share's main menu while viewing your long screenshot.
From here, the default share options will let you share a link that allows other people to view your long screenshot on Stitch & Share's website. If you'd rather save a hard copy, though, select the "Share file" option at the top of this menu, then either share the file directly through any compatible app, or tap "Save image to SD card" to store your screenshot locally.
Any saved screenshots can be found in the Pictures folder on your SD card or internal storage, and they're saved as PNG files, so they're compatible with any gallery app or image-uploading site. In the end, Stitch & Share combines your screenshots flawlessly, so it's almost a perfect replica of the Samsung feature.
Nice but wonder why it gives warning when sending image file.
It's saying that the quality may be reduced (compared to sharing it through their website), but I've found that the image file is actually better quality than the version you can share through their website.
Nice. I, myself have a Note 5 and I don't know how to stitch the images together. Is there walk-through for that?


From the young age of 11 I was interning at my father's business as an office assistant, and from him I learned really strong work ethics although I didn't realize it at the time. I went on to study accounting for 4 years at university, and by the time I graduated I knew I did not really want to be an accountant. I always had an entrepreneurial flair so I decided to pursue a Masters degree in International Business and hoped it would guide me to my calling, but it did not quite work out that way. I spent the last 10 years gaining a vast range of experiences in finance and project management roles and finally my current role in financial crime compliance.
People would describe me as passionate; always ready to challenge the status quo, dependable and adaptable. I am also a bit of a perfectionist and probably my own biggest critic, but only because I always want to put my best foot forward.


Robert Baden-Powell didn't have a dead car battery in mind when he wrote that ubiquitous motto well over a hundred years ago – but he'd certainly agree that a dead battery can wreck your day.
While most of us "car guys" are usually equipped with a set of jumper cables, they don't do you a bit of good if you're on a lone country road or in a strange neighborhood in the middle of the night. Even jump-starting your car off another car can be risky, especially on a busy highway or in inclement weather. Calling for a tow truck is a good way to drop $100 or more, and who wants to sit around waiting for an hour?
No, if Baden-Powell were around today, he'd be impressed with modern lithium ion battery tech, and he'd be carrying one of those pocket-sized devices capable of jump-starting a car.
The NICOclub Headquarters is the ideal location to make good use of one of these – Why?
We have a collection of obstinate old Datsuns that don't always get driven a lot, so their batteries discharge over time.
We've got teenagers who tend to leave lights on, dome lights on, or a door open – usually right after I've paid way too much for a new battery.
On road trips and event weekends, we burn a lot of battery life (phones, tablets, laptops) to keep the business rolling.
I'm often asked to do some under-hood diagnosis – so the bright flashlight (and the ability to jump a dead battery) is helpful.
One, most all of these jump starters are manufactured in a very small area of China. The Chinese are the kings of miniaturization, and their competition for market share means they're continually adding more and more features to their pocket-sized electronics.
Two, there are literally THOUSANDS of these units on the market priced from $75 to over $200. However, like other products, most are re-branded for marketing purposes. For example, the unit I selected is also re-branded by a well-known tool manufacturer (who slaps on a hefty $120 markup just for their name).
Three, this thing packs a punch – It will jump-start a diesel pickup TWELVE times on a single charge, a full charge will provide between 15 and 40 jump starts, the flashlight (and emergency strobe light) is a beast, and it powered my Galaxy Note IV from dead to 22% in 11 minutes!
I knew these would be a hit with the NICOclub community – especially at a price lower than in the stores! Through some of my contacts, I found a company to supply these units, and we're passing the savings (and convenience) along to you.
Now you can represent (and support) NICOclub while you're helping a stranded motorist!
We're able to get these out to you guys for a BETTER price than you'll find online (even Amazon), but at $70 SHIPPED, they won't be around forever. Grab one for yourself and one for your significant other – That's cheaper than a new battery, cheaper than a tow truck bill, and cheaper than a couple good sets of jumper cables. We've made the process simple and painless – Just click the link below, make sure you include your shipping address, and we'll get one (or more) headed your way.

Aaron Stone, 21, Pawhuska, reeled in this 125-lb. 7-oz. Oklahoma state record Paddlefish April 10 from the Arkansas River.
Due to unsafe conditions on the flooding Missouri River, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission closed the 2011 archery paddlefish season that was previously set to begin July 9 and run for 30 days. Game and Parks took the action during a special teleconference June 17 at agency headquarters in Lincoln.
Game and Parks will return permit fees to all 275 successful applicants who were awarded a permit via a drawing held May 9. All preference points for the applicants will be restored to where they were following the end of the 2010 season.
The archery paddlefish season normally takes place on a 77-mile stretch of the Missouri River from Gavins Point Dam to the mouth of the Big Sioux River near Sioux City. The U.S. Coast Guard has closed this section of the river to all boat traffic due to flooding that is expected to last most of the summer.


When Jared Oliver recommended me to apply to be the successor of Akiem Bailum and the next sports editor for The Signal, I had mixed emotions. First, I remember how highly Jared spoke of Akiem, so I was honored he believed I could handle the job. On the other hand, I was a bit frightened to carry such a title, because I had to follow in the footprints of Akiem.
There was no time to waste before I was thrown into the fire. My first issue was the 2015 football preview, which was 12 pages – written by only two writers – about a team that had won one game in two years. In those first few months, Jared and Jeremy Johnson turned out stories for me like machines, my copy editing skills were nothing less than cringe-worthy. Every week, I made a handful of mistakes and it felt like everyone noticed, but I didn't quit. I kept going.
A few months later, during awards season, I attended every ceremony. I sat and watched everybody else in the state and southeast win except for my section. I let down Akiem and The Signal's name, but I didn't quit. I kept going and worked harder. My slowly-growing section improved every week and I'm proud to say that I'm leaving the sports section in a more versatile place than where I found it.
The best game I've been to during my term was the 2015 football game at Georgia Southern. I'll never forget the chills I had standing on the sidelines that day. Listening to all of the boos and trash talk the honorable students down in Statesboro blessed the band, team, cheerleaders, and Pounce with. History unfolded before my very eyes as I witnessed the worst home loss in the Eagles' history and the Panthers clinching a trip to the program's first-ever bowl game.
My favorite interviews were definitely my sit-down Q&A sessions with assistant athletic director Mike Holmes and men's tennis senior Zack Kennedy. What made the interview with Mike so great was the fact that it was impromptu. The expected story for the week was an interview with Coach Hunter about how different he and the program were perceived a full summer following "The Shot". Coach Hunter was booked the entire week and I figured that Mike was there the entire time as well, so why not interview him? Getting his perspective on the most impactful moment in the school's athletic history was pure gold.
Having Leah Cotton as my associate editor for a little over half of the 2016 fall semester was the most fun time period. I had a full staff of five reporters who turned in stories on time, every single week – every editor's dream.
The office is one of the things I'll miss most about my time in college. From jamming out to "Broke Boi," Slim Jesus and Larry League to having deep conversations about our conspiracies on America, the office was always my home away from home. I remember and sincerely miss Charles Rudison coming into the office as a member of the marketing department. He hated when I said he looked like Atlanta Hawks forward Kent Bazemore. We would go back-and-forth roasting each other and exchanging our views on life. I'm glad I got to see him one last time before he left this earth last August.
I'll miss seeing the marketing manager, Michael Gaither, on a regular basis. Although he never officially wrote in the sports section, he was the member of the editorial board which I connected with the most. Gaither was also one of my co-hosts on the "Blue Bleachers Podcast".
I'll miss you, the readers. The Panther Family. Every classmate that ran up to me on the sidewalk to tell me they saw my story in the latest issue. Every fan of Georgia State Athletics that acknowledged me with a simple head nod or wave. Every security guard, like 'Big-E,' especially.
I'll miss the athletic communications department, the first form of PR I've interacted with: The legendary Charlie Taylor and Allison George, the soon-to-be legend Mike Holmes, the 'jury's still out on' newbie Will Owens, the graduate assistants Jordan Manning and Graham Reynolds. I'm sure I've messed up with every single one of you at some point in time, but you all didn't shut me or the section out, so I'm thankful for that.
Each and every day I'm proud of every member who's been a part of my staff. Jeremy Johnson is at the Oconee Enterprise, last summer Jared Oliver had a time slot on national television to talk about sports on HLN, Devone Slappy has been writing for the AJC since January, Leah Cotton works in public relations with the Georgia Aquarium, Woody Bass is now taking classes at his dream school, the University of Florida, D'Mitri Chin is interning with the PGA Junior League, Christian Crittenden is running his own "Average Sports Guy" podcast, and Tobi Adeyemi runs his own "Why Toby" blog, reviewing the latest hip-hop releases and giving his analysis on sports as well.
Special thanks to my advisers, editors, and mentors that I've had over the past two years. My big brothers at The A-League, Troi Charity, Bryce McNeil, Sebastian Wee, Chris Shattuck, Sheena Roetman, Terence Moore, and Amir Shaw. Thank you all for making me better. I love everybody that was ever created in the world and maybe one day you'll feel the same joy.
With that being said, insert a mic drop right here – Milligan out.
Also, if any of you know someone hiring sports journalism people, please tell them to hire me.

Designer Greg Quist selected three 60" diameter dedicated LED Savoyes to enhance the new 2-story lobby of the Dunn Motors Apartments on Capitol Hill in Seattle.
The rigid stem mounted Savoye shades are 24" tall and covered in Carnegie Fabric's Xorel Strie 6423-802. Fixtures each use 80 watts to provide 9062 source lumens and are equipped with Lutron H-series 1% dimming.
The project was developed by Hunters Capital, a boutique real estate company dedicated to restoring and revitalizing Seattle's Pike/Pine neighborhood. Studio Meng Strazzara was the architect.
An existing 1925 historic building façade was retained and renovated; new construction expanded the project to 8 stories and 89 housing units, plus retail and office space.
The adaptability of the PROSPERITY family of fixtures has been updated and enhanced for 2016. PROSPERITY 16, 22, 36, and the new 30-12 pendants (shade: 30″ bottom diameter, 29″ top diameter, 12″ high) now offer dedicated LED array illumination.
LED drivers are programmed in-house, allowing us to engineer lumen output and corresponding wattage to suit project requirements.
Clear windows in the solid top lid emit a soft, reflected uplight flow. We offer a standard LED color temperature of 3,000K. Phase control, 0-10V and Lutron dimming options are available.
PROSPERITY is conceived as a versatile, adaptable light fixture system offering designers an interchangeable array of size, proportion and color options. The clean, sealed fixture design incorporates a technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable shade fabric. The highly durable woven polyethylene textile from Carnegie Fabrics is inherently anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-staph, water repellant and stain resistant. PROSPERITY is ideal for hospital, medical office, hotel, and other demanding public applications — as well as suitable for residential use.
Seattle-based SABArchitects and Robin Dalton Design collaborated with Resolute to create custom fixtures for new The Nature Conservancy offices in Seattle's historic Pike Place Market neighborhood.
Inspiration was drawn from Seattle's history of aeronautic construction for the ten 43" diameter hand-shaped aluminum shades with brass solid rivet connections. Shade fabrication was completed entirely on-site in Resolute's shop: composite LED array bed and bottom diffusion disk were cut on the CNC router; metal parts were sheared, hand beaten, smoothed on an English wheel, bead rolled, and finished with a hand-rubbed lustre polish. Fixtures are illuminated with the same down- and uplight LED array assemblies utilized in the Savoye family of fixtures.
Twelve rigid-mounted LED Savoye fixtures with uplight modules hang in conversation rooms. Savoye shades are Ø42" x 12" high and Ø32" x 9" high, bronze powdercoat metal finish, custom textured "Tangle" Xorel 6213-7.
Fixtures are linked to sensor-activated 0-10V dimming controls.
Skidmore Janette, architect, collaborated with Resolute to create a custom focal point for the new Heartwood Provisions restaurant in downtown Seattle.
Design of the fixture was fully developed in CAD, yet is still very much a product of careful handcrafting in the Resolute metal shop.
The resulting impressive Ø72" fixture is jig welded from laser cut steel sections and rolled steel plates complimented by a hand-rubbed black oxide and wax finish. The fixture features ten downward facing interior tubes holding 14W LED E26 (medium base, screw in) lamps. The blackened tubes are roll-formed steel with a subtle bead-rolled detail and are finished on the inside with a decorative copper band with hand-rubbed "old penny" finish.
Weighing in at nearly 250 pounds, simplicity of installation was paramount. The support structure was installed first, then the decorative ring hooked on with turnbuckles. Electrical connections were made last. The structure of the ring provides the accessible wiring enclosure. Provisions were made for easy alignment and leveling.
Heartwood Provisions will specialize in contemporary American cuisine; the restaurant opens in early 2016 at 1103 First Avenue (First & Spring). Wilcox Construction is the general contractor.
New in-house manufacturing capabilities created an opportunity to redesign the Smith LED ceiling fixtures for a tighter ceiling-hugging profile; advances in LED technology allow us to offer both a wider selection of dimming driver options plus higher lumen output.
Smith 17, 22, and 28 inch diameter LED ceiling fixtures retain the same elegant shade proportions, the overall drop from ceiling has been reduced by a full inch.
New LED arrays translate into a nearly 50% increase in lumen output in a Smith 22 fixture, for example. Our improved slate of phase control, 0-10V, and a range of Lutron dimming drivers meets the needs of any modern or retrofit dimming system.
RESOLUTE is pleased to debut Carnegie Fabric's new Xorel DETAILS on PUNCHEON, our system of upright cylindrical fixtures.
The sleek simplicity of PUNCHEON pairs perfectly with the abundant texture of DETAILS fabrics. Bulkier yarns, denser weaves and metallic colors increase the visual richness of the surface; PUNCHEON's luminosity enhances the impact.
PUNCHEON shades are offered in two standard diameters: 5.5″ and 10″. Heights range from 9″ to 20″. RESOLUTE offers a full menu of wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, rigid-stem and cord-hung versions.
Shades can be illuminated with medium-base LED or GU24 fluorescent lamps.
Carnegie Xorel DETAILS fabrics are offered as a custom alternative to RESOLUTE's standard Xorel palette. DETAILS fabrics may also be specified for other SOLUTIONS FABRICS fixtures on an order-by-order basis.

"Only the Father Knows the Day and the Hour"
Dr. Warren Larson
If "the Roll were called up yonder" today would our work on earth be done? COVID-19 has turned the world upside down. Lockdowns, racial injustices, failed businesses, crashing stock markets, soaring unemployment, and church closures have some Christians wondering if we are already in the End Times. There is a lot to lament these days, but we must also ask what God wants to accomplish in the midst of such tough times. This article talks about the End and then turns to the unfinished task of reaching Muslims for Christ. Although there is much room for rejoicing in this area, I believe God wants to draw many more to himself, before that great and final day. In this task, we have the wonderful examples of Henry Martyn and Samuel Zwemer to spur us on.
Is The End Near?
When there is moral collapse or a major crisis, someone is sure to see the imminent return of Christ.[i] The fact of the matter is his coming has always been imminent: Jesus' last words were, "I am coming soon" (Rev. 21:20), and he gave several signs to watch out for as we await that climatic event. There would be wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, and increased wickedness. And he said, "Men will faint from terror … of what is coming…" (Lk. 21:26). Nevertheless, Scripture calls it "… the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13). The clock is ticking, but we must work for the night is coming.
It can also be said that things have usually been bad. Take, for example, the last one hundred years: Two world wars, the Great Depression (unemployment hit 27 percent!), Stalin's purges, the Holocaust, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Spanish Flu. I was born close to D-Day, just as WWII came to an end, but current events are sounding more and more like the terrible things that will happen in the last book of the Bible. One thing we know for sure: God will finally put an end to racism, injustice, inequality, suffering, and sorrow in our world. There is good news in Revelation, but only for those who want everything to do with God. For those who want nothing to do with him, there is only bad news.
Muslim Need
Just over two hundred years ago, an outstanding Christian worker from England by the name of Henry Martyn, labored fervently among Muslims in India. He was a brilliant linguist with such skill in Bible translation he even outshone William Carey and his team in Calcutta.[ii] He accomplished more for God's kingdom in seven years than one can imagine. Martyn opened the Scriptures to the Muslim world in Urdu, Persian, and Arabic. He knew Islam as few others, witnessed faithfully and boldly for Christ, yet could only name one convert; this convert was baptized after Martyn's untimely death at the age of 31.[iii]
Approximately one hundred years ago, Samuel Zwemer proved to be the greatest American missionary ever sent to the Muslim world, yet his converts could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Ministry was so slow that at one point he came home and preached on the text, "Lord, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless, at your command, we let down the nets" (Lk. 5:5). Zwemer wrote about 50 books and he was also very good in the language; so much so, he wrote tracts in Arabic.[iv] Though he himself saw little fruit, his energy, zeal, and vision inspired countless others in Christian mission to Muslims—including myself.
Since the days of Martyn and Zwemer, the harvest among Muslims has turned around. In recent years, there have been amazing "movements" to Christ. According to David Garrison, eighty-four percent of these movements have taken place in the 21st century and we could be witnessing a "hinge movement," leading to the salvation of many more.[v] If Zwemer was alive today, he would be amazed and overjoyed.
Yet Garrison is quick to remind us the growth of Islam adds up to over 30 million annually; in other words, he says another Canada is born every year.[vi] In that light, despite tremendous gains in the last two decades, what has happened so far is only a drop in the bucket. We are in fact losing ground. Many Muslims today have not even heard the gospel, so if Zwemer could preach again, he would encourage us to double our evangelistic efforts—be the task ever so difficult.
Notably, whenever there is a large catch of fish in the Gospels, it was meant to show the disciples they needed God to accomplish the impossible. At the end of John's Gospel, after the Resurrection, the disillusioned disciples spent a whole night in fruitless fishing. Jesus' question to them is a bit humorous: "Have you caught anything?" Then, at his command, they cast the net on the other side and the result was phenomenal (Jn 21). In Acts, the Holy Spirit is in the driver's seat, and church growth was nothing less than the work of God. Prayer was key. The early disciples were "devoted to prayer" (Acts 2:42), and apparently, Paul's ministry grew out of a prayer meeting of five simple men: "As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, 'Now separate unto me Barnabas and Saul' …" (Acts 13:2).
In conclusion, at the Rochester Convention of 1910, Robert Speer had this to say about Samuel Zwemer:[vii]
I have never got out of my memory the speech of Dr. Zwemer at one of the earlier conventions of this Movement, when he hung a great map of Islam before us, and with a sweep of his hand across all those darkened areas said: 'Thou O Christ are all I want; and Thou O Christ art all they want.' What Christ can do for any man He can do for every man.[viii]
Since only the Father knows "the day and the hour" of Christ's return, we must keep on working. The last verse of the old song we began with goes like this: "Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun, Let us talk about His wondrous love and care; Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done, And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there." We pray many more Muslims will be there with us.

The author says American evangelicals tend to see the birth of Israel as proof of the end times but suggests our emphasis should always be on the gospel of peace.
[ii] Henry Martyn's idea of relaxing was to study Persian poetry and read the Qur'an in Arabic. In serious study, he tackled Sanskrit, Persian, Greek, and French, read the Hindu epic Ramayana, and of course, the Bible. At times, he found it necessary to critique the quality and accuracy of William Carey and team in their Persian and Hindustani versions.

Muslims And Christians have an Image Problem
Shirin Taber
Christians and Muslims in America have an image problem. The rest of the world sees us as intolerant, belligerent, prideful, nationalistic, and extremist. As the daughter of Christian and Muslim parents, I feel like a kid stuck in a bad marriage, trying to salvage my parent's reputation and begging them to get along. As a child I remember feeling conflicted in a home that followed two religions and suffering shame after the 1979 hostage crisis. Today I encounter this drama played out in our country.
Tragically, the Fort Hood massacre, along with 9-11 and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, perpetuate a climate of religious polarization. It has launched a backlash against innocent Muslims and made Christians look like bullies. It's blurred the lines between many peaceful Muslims and a few dangerous ideologues; and many caring Christians and a few conspirators who use the church for political purposes.
We can't afford to repeat the last decade. We desperately need a new generation of American Christian and Muslim leaders, who embody our nations' decency, to stand up and show the world that we can overcome our fury and work toward reconciliation, accountability and mutual respect. Most importantly, America needs leaders to remind the public, in a fresh and relevant way, of Jesus' teachings to love our neighbors (even if they feel like enemies). Military containment, humanitarian work, and hard borders, however, will not be enough. We must sow seeds of trust and confidence.
Signs of the Islamic End Times
While Muslims are not in complete agreement regarding the exact number, most agree that the Day of Judgement will be preceded by signs prophesied by Muhammad.
How ISIS is Spreading the Gospel
Dr. Dave Cashin
"I have been a Muslim for forty-one years, in all that time have never questioned Islam. But now, I have decided to leave it."
I have often referred Islamic radicals as "proto-evangelists" for the Christian faith. The first of these was the Ayatollah Khomeini. His brutal regime in Iran, whose atrocities and policies have lead many Iranians to leave Iran, has also led to an exodus of Iranians out of Islam. Estimates are difficult, but the numbers significant. Outside Iran the numbers are firmer but no less astonishing. In Sweden, fully ten percent of the Iranian immigrant population has converted to the Christian faith. That is approximately eight thousand out of a total of eighty thousand in the entire country. Some Iranian believers have called the Ayatollah the greatest missionary because he showed us what Islam is really like.
Jesus: a Sign for Jews, Christians and Muslims
Vivienne Stacey
Jews, Christians, and Muslims all acknowledge that Jesus is a sign from God. Their present understanding of the meaning of Jesus as a sign is different. The Jews have no problem with the words of Isaiah in chapter 7:14 'The Lord himself will give you a sign: the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel.' Most Jews are still waiting for the fulfillment of this prophecy. It is encouraging to hear of Jews coming to faith in Jesus the Messiah. We hear of groups of Messianic Jews but as yet there are not many like Simeon…

Greater MetroWest federation sponsors gathering in support of Israel
4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 25, at Temple B'nai Abraham, Livingston
By NJJN Staff November 21, 2012, 12:00 am Edit
A "Community Gathering in Support of Israel" will be held at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 25, at Temple B'nai Abraham, Livingston.
Speakers will include the temple's Rabbi Cliff Kulwin, who recently took part in a solidarity mission to Israel sponsored by Jewish Federations of North America, and Gil Lainer, consul for public diplomacy at the Consulate General of Israel in New York. Skype communications with representatives of Merchavin/Ofakim, one of the partner communities of the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ, will also be featured.
Prior to his arrival in New York, Lainer was a counselor in the Bureau for Middle East Economy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem, where he worked to establish Israel's policy on humanitarian aid and projects in the Gaza Strip. Lainer also served as MFA liaison to the IDF in coordinating and implementing this policy.
The gathering is sponsored by the GMW federation in partnership with the American Jewish Committee NJ Region; the Anti-Defamation League NJ Region; Northern NJ Region of Hadassah; JNF; Rabbinic Cabinet of Greater MetroWest; the Va'ad of Central NJ; the National Council of Jewish Women Essex County, Union County, and Morris County Sections; and NCJW State Political Advocacy.
Free babysitting will be available. For information, contact Mara Gellman at 973-929-3096 or mgellman@jfedgmw.org.
Israel solidarity rallies were held in venues across the United States as several groups sent missions to Israel to experience the siege there firsthand. Some 2,000 demonstrators who gathered Tuesday in downtown Chicago waved Israeli flags and held signs reading "I Stand with Israel," "Israel has the right to defend itself" and "Hamas the Aggressor, Israel the Beacon of Freedom." Young people sang "Am Yisrael Chai" and "Hatikvah."
In Los Angeles, some 1,400 demonstrators voiced their support for Israel's right to defend itself and its ramped-up operation against escalated rocket attacks on its South from the Gaza Strip.

(Reuters) - Canadians rained social media scorn on a performer on Wednesday for inserting the politically-charged phrase "all lives matter" into the lyrics of the Canadian national anthem and holding up the words on a sign during the rendition.
Singer Remigio Pereira, a member of the Canadian quartet The Tenors, seemed to take his group by surprise with the change during the live performance at major league baseball's All-Star Game in San Diego on Tuesday night.
"All lives matter" is a phrase used by critics of the Black Lives Matter anti-police brutality movement, who say the activists promote bias against other groups including white Americans and law enforcement.
Pereira inserted the line "we're all brothers and sisters; all lives matter to the great" while holding up a small sign that read "all lives matter" on one side and "united we stand" on the other.
"Memo to MLB: if you're looking to attract black fans and players, All Lives Mattering the anthem — even O Canada — ain't the way to do it," tweeted @MorganPCampbell.
The Tenors apologized late on Tuesday, calling Pereira a "lone wolf" who acted without consulting the group and said he would no longer perform with them "until further notice".
The attack injected a new note of fear into two years of largely peaceful protests across the United States over police killings of black people in cities including Ferguson, Missouri, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Pereira did not immediately respond when Reuters reached out to him on Twitter. A publicist for The Tenors said on Wednesday no members are doing interviews and referred to the statement .

New to Ukulele?
Playing the ukulele marks you out as being a bit different. While most people are hacking away on guitars and pianos, we choose to pursue something a little bit different. Being individual is much more fun, but does come with a few problems. There just aren't that many resources around for people who want to play the ukulele. In May 2007, I set out to share as much as I knew about the uke (whilst feeding my ukulele obsession) and set up my ukulele blog Uke Hunt (which has since grown to become the most popular ukulele site on the net according to Boat Paddle's Top 50 list).
The blog format is great for short tips, single songs and the like, but got frustrated because I knew that the format couldn't stretch the the in-depth subjects that could really help people improve their ukulele playing and understanding by leaps and bounds. So, I set out writing books for people who wanted to really get to grips with the ukulele and learn how to get the most out of it.
As part of my blogging and hanging around on ukulele forums (where you may know me as Woodshed), I get to interact with a lot of ukulele players. Lots uke players the world over email me with questions and requests. So, I really get to know what people struggle with when learning the uke and I work hard to make sure these issues are addressed in my ebooks. There are more technically gifted ukulele players than me writing about the ukulele, but they so often fail to answer questions that people learning the ukulele have. With these ebooks, I hope to help people who are eager to learn the ukulele but haven't find the resources that are really focussed on tackling their issues.
If there's something in my ebooks you don't understand, send me a message and I'll do my best to sort it out.
