ARTICLES MOVIES & TV WHO IS THE ACTUAL WORST ON 'SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS?'
Who Is The Actual Worst On 'Spongebob Squarepants?'
Dan Duddy
Spongebob Squarepants holds up so well even after over 20 years that I think it might be even funnier now watching with the fresh eyes of an adult.
It's why we've decided to include it in our "who is the actual worst" series. (Or, in the case of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, "who is the least awful.") For this exercise, we'll be examining the seasons that series creator Stephen Hillenburg was the showrunner (the first three) as they were the episodes generally considered the best, and also because they're the only ones I remember. Then, when we've picked whichever character is our winner, we'll cancel them straight to hell.
Or we can just laugh about it. I don't think anybody on Spongebob is actually cancelable mostly on account of it being a cartoon for children. I haven't seen the later seasons, so unless there's a plotline in season 13 where Squidward travels to Jeffrey Epstein's private island, then I think we're okay.
Right off the bat, I think it is pretty well accepted that Mr. Krabs is the most morally reprehensible character on the show. Krabs is unapologetically motivated by greed and self-interest to the point where he once enslaved jellyfish in order to make jelly. So if Krabs is our champion of horribleness, then I think you could make a case for Spongebob, Squidward, and Patrick to face off against him in the final round.
The Case Against Spongebob:
Spongebob is pretty well-intentioned for the most part, which makes it hard to label him as a bad guy. However, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and if you drive on that road like Spongebob drives his boat, then you have this:
Spongebob's crimes against aquatic life are numerous. He's poisoned his customers with "pretty patties." He once shrank all of Bikini Bottom due to his negligence with dangerous technology. The city once burned down because he thought a butterfly was evil, and everyone panicked.
And again, some of that might be excusable because he never meant to do anything wrong. (Except that time he hid a dead body.) But I'd also argue that Spongebob's consideration for others is at the most shallow of levels. Take his celebration of Squidward's birthday.
Never mind the fact that Spongebob and Patrick snuck into this person's house, and then subsequently crept into his bed, (we'll get to that later) it wasn't Squidward's birthday. Spongebob and Patrick aren't attentive to what Squidward actually wants. He doesn't want them waking up next to him for his birthday, and while could be that they are just too dumb to listen, it could also be simply because they don't care.
The Case Against Patrick:
Many of the grievances against Spongebob could be applied to Patrick and vice-versa as they do just about everything together. I think if you were to make a case against Patrick, though, over Spongebob, it would have to be on the basis that Patrick is the driving force behind their creepier adventures. I don't know whose idea it was to sneak into Squidward's house, but something is telling me it was Patrick and that something is this:
Patrick is awfully insistent that he and Spongebob go on a "panty raid," and while it's not clear if Spongebob and Patrick are aware of the creepy implications in stealing a woman's underwear, there's something about the tone of his voice that suggests this starfish isn't asexual.
Patrick and Spongebob admit that this is something they do all the time, so even if you were to remove all sexual connotations entirely, they still regularly engage in petty thievery. I'm docking Patrick more so than Spongebob here solely because Patrick feels more like the ringleader.
Patrick isn't quite the force of destruction that Spongebob is. He did get Bikini Bottom crushed once by a giant worm by convincing everyone to push the city under a giant cliff. His intentions were good, though. But Patrick does usually exhibit more malicious intent than Spongebob. He even once tried to steal Spongebob's grandma's love. So for that alone, I think you could choose Patrick.
The Case Against Squidward
Squidward is easily the meanest and most disgruntled of our contestants, but he surprisingly hasn't done much wrong in comparison to his happy-go-lucky tormentors. Generally, he kind of just takes heaps of Spongebob and Patrick's shit with every one of his tentacles. There is this one time though, where Squidward convinces Spongebob and Patrick that he's a ghost and that they should be his slaves:
Ooof, yeah, that's not great. He also once gave Spongebob a pie that was actually a bomb, and he once got so addicted to Krabby Patties that he broke into the Krusty Krab to eat more.
If there's one person that Squidward is mean to, it is himself. When Squidward imagines his hopes and dreams, he pictures a gravestone. He sticks his head all the way in the oven to check on his food. He seems suicidal and, I guess if you were to take a puritanical view on suicide, then maybe you could count it as a sin. But I don't think that's fair. In fact, this is a guy who desperately wants to be a musician, but finds himself working at a minimum wage job selling burgers. It's hard not to feel bad for him.
Okay, I kind of talked myself out of Squidward there, but I think if you were to still make the case for him, it would be that his actions are the most motivated by ill-intent. Squidward wants his rival Squilliam Fancyson to fail so that he can feel more like a success.
But Spongebob and Patrick have razed the city the ground with little remorse. My struggle is if they have the mental agency to be responsible for their actions. If they do, then I think you have to give it to Spongebob for just the sheer amount of horrible things he's done to Bikini Bottom. If they don't, then I don't know, this guy seems kind of like a jerk.
Yeah, let's go with that guy.
Support Dan on Twitter and he will talk about his life with you in lieu of getting a therapist.

What was Paul thinking when he wrote to the Corinthian church? Have a read of 1 Corinthians 14:33-35 - Does it clearly make a case that women should not preach in the church?
This is a verse used by some to discredit the authority women have to preach in the church today. What is Paul saying in this Scripture? Is this a blanket statement that holds true in today's church? I argue that this verse is laden with cultural underpinnings, that need to be explored.
N.T. Wright discusses 1 Cor 14, where Paul urges the Corinthian women to be silent in Church, and while he admits it may well be an interpolation [that is a verse that was added later] from outside of Paul, he also offers another suggestion.
Back in the 1st Century Middle East, men and women would sit separately in Church, and the service would be spoken in classical Arabic, a language in which the men understood and the women did not. During the sermon, as you could imagine, the women begin chatting to themselves, slowly increasing their volume, until the point where the minister must tell the women to keep the noise down. Therefore Paul's call for women to be silent in church was more of a practical request, so that at least the men could hear the message. To read more on N.T.Wright's article on Women in Ministry, click here.
Galatians 3:28 is known to hold the key to Paul's view on women in ministry, and while a verse plucked out by itself is not always helpful, this verse is foundational to understand Paul's view on the topic. Galatians 3:28 says, 'There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.' Paul's understanding of equality between women and men, was one that developed following his conversion to Christ, and one that goes against the grain of the male-dominated Jewish culture of his day. Taking Galatians 3:28 and feeding that into 1 Corinthians 14, says to me, that men and women are equal, and while Paul may have given a practical request to the Corinthian church, both women and men have the authority and God-given power to preach the gospel of Jesus today.
Should women be silent in the church? No.
Are women and men equal in ministry? Yes.

The GetUserLoginHandler is a handler used to parse the response for this request.

Participants listen to keynote speakers during the 4th annual Content Marketing World at the Cleveland Convention Center on Sept. 9, 2014. Content Marketing World 2015 is expected to be at least 23 percent bigger, with 600 more people than attended last year's event.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Content Marketing World 2015, the largest convergence of digital marketing, storytelling and social media experts in the world, will once again blanket Cleveland with tech-savvy, smartphone-wielding conventioneers with money to spend.
More than 3,200 people from 48 countries have paid up to $2,495 to attend the fifth annual #CMWorld at the Cleveland Convention Center from Sept. 8 to 11. That's 600 more than last year's 2,600 attendees and five times the number that came the first year.
The orange carpet underneath the spinning "Content Marketing World" sign is a favorite place for in-real-life meet-ups at CMWorld at the Cleveland Convention Center.
Thirteen area hotels are booked solid.
And 78 companies are sending at least five employees, with Rockwell Automation and Skyword sending 23 or more.
The total estimated economic impact of CMWorld on Cleveland? Somewhere around $3.6 million.
CMWorld founder and content marketing evangelist Joe Pulizzi, who was floored when 660 showed up at first Content Marketing World conference in 2011, now wonders how long the event will be able to fit comfortably into the Convention Center.
Judging by the number of repeat attendees and the more than 150 breakout sessions, there is no shortage of creative ways to create demand for what your company offers, and always more search-engine-friendly secrets to make sure the right people see and want it.
They are just two of the more than 100 speakers sharing their insights over the four-day event, including local representatives from companies such as Lincoln Electric, Hyland, Avery Dennison, Salesforce, WTWH Media, PR 20/20, Lean Dog, The Cleveland Clinic, and Akron Canton Airport.
CMWorld attendees are exceptionally conversant in social media, and will be regaling their thousands of followers with minute-by-minute updates on what they are seeing and discovering, whether about content marketing or about Cleveland. Last year's attendees sent out more than 30,150 tweets during CMWorld 2014, including 2,500 during actor Kevin Spacey's profanity-laced closing remarks.
Andrew Davis, best-selling author of "Brandscaping: Unleashing the Power of Partnerships," talked about the power of storytelling at Content Marketing World 2014. He is speaking five times at CMWorld 2015.
Andrew Davis, author of "Brandscaping: Unleashing the Power of Partnerships" and "Town Inc.", and a popular CMWorld speaker, says that Pulizzi is not only introducing people in his industry to his hometown, "Joe is looking to entice them to move to Cleveland."
"Imagine, for a moment, that Cleveland captured just ten percent of the entire market for Content Marketing," Davis said. "Ten percent of a growing industry would mean $4.9 billion dollars a year pulsing through the city of Cleveland.
"Imagine if content marketing agencies, content marketing technology vendors, content marketing software providers, content marketing consultants, and even content marketing producers set up shop in Cleveland," Davis said. "Five billion dollars a year makes the RNC's [Republican National Convention's] one-time deposit of $400 million look miniscule."
NPi Audio Visual Solutions spent four weeks building a 30-foot high Hollywood Squares game show set weighing more than 5,000 pounds on the main floor of Content Marketing World 2015.
This year's attendees will include Bedford High School digital marketing instructor and DECA advisor Melanie Kirin, who is taking 38 of her students to the Content Inc. summit for startups, entrepreneurs and growing small businesses on Friday.
John Cleese, the British comedic actor best known for "Monty Python's Flying Circus", addresses participants during the fifth annual Content Marketing World conference at the Cleveland Convention Center.
"What an awesome opportunity that we've got this fantastic event in our own backyard," Kirin said. "Experts from all around the world coming to spend three days in Cleveland, Ohio." She is looking forward to brainstorming with her students ways to roll out a really strong marketing strategy and figuring out what elements would be needed to make it successful.
Kirin said that because Pulizzi's Content Marketing Institute is giving them complimentary registrations for the day, it is making an investment of more than $28,000 in the students. "I've attended the conference on my own before. It is phenomenal," she added.
Joe Pulizzi, founder of the Content Marketing Institute, welcomes attendees to the fifth annual Content Marketing World conference in Cleveland on Sept. 9, 2015.
Twenty-two students from Lutheran West High School's business management and entrepreneurship classes, along with their Principal, Dale Wolfgram, are attending the same Friday summit, said Tom Ford, director of strategic partnerships at the Rocky River school.
Ford said his students heard Pulizzi speak at a Rocky River Chamber of Commerce luncheon and really connected with his message.
"We were nicely surprised that Joe and his team offered to comp our registrations and lunch when I contacted him about the possibility of attending," he said via email. "Pam Kozelka, VP of Operations of the Content Marketing Institute, also dropped by copies of their [Chief Content Officer] magazine to our school so our students would be prepared for the experience. Totally unexpected!"


In 1969, Mel Heimer dedicated 262 pages to dissecting Tunney's second win over the beloved former champion, drawing from a variety of sources and leaving out few details in describing a peculiar year in the life of American heavyweight boxing. Further, Heimer explains through the chronicling of concurrent global events that the intense interest in Tunney vs Dempsey II was not only a product of its time, but something that largely helped define the time.
Looking back, it was as if Tunney came along a few years early; the 20s wouldn't slam to a close until "Black Tuesday," the terrible Wall Street Crash of 1929. That calamity was the result of numerous economic issues feeding off one another, but behind the failures involved was the excess of the 1920's. "The United States of America was a houseparty, a whoop-de-do weekend in Bronxville or Carmel or Grosse Pointe, and all were invited," writes Heimer. In that sense Tunney signaled an early end to the party that heavyweight champion Dempsey had been the default host of.
The world of sports rocked and rolled along with the decade, making stars of golfers Glenna Collett and Bobby Jones, football players Knute Rockne and Red Grange, swimmer Johnny Weissmuller, tennis players Bill Tilden and Helen Wills, and legendary baseball player Babe Ruth, who, incidentally, picked Dempsey to regain the championship. All hoped Jack, their cultural ring leader, could regain the heavyweight title.
Social symbolism aside, Heimer says Tunney's veritable obsession with defeating Dempsey first rose to the surface during a chance meeting between the two on a ferry that was crossing the Hudson River in 1920. The following year Tunney dispatched Soldier Jones on the undercard of Dempsey vs Carpentier, boxing's first million dollar gate. When asked about his plans afterward Tunney replied, "My plans are all Dempsey." Between then and Tunney vs Dempsey I in 1926, the former stepped into the ring over 40 times, while the popular champion fought only twice, becoming more superstar than actual fighter. Tunney's defeat of Dempsey was shocking, but shouldn't have been.
Fans gathering in Soldier's Field prior to the bout. More than 100 000 attended.
Tunney, a more solemn character, a Shakespeare-reading marine, was the one to bring down the snarling beast. He became so fixated on seizing Dempsey's title that he shadowboxed while walking to and from his exercise on a Florida golf course while playing with Scottish pro Tommy Armour in 1925. The "big bookworm," as Dempsey called him, knew his time would come.
Throughout The Long Count Heimer mentions other feats of importance along with the day-to-day, week-to-week updates of negotiations and happenings between Tunney and Dempsey: Murderer's Row; the trial and execution of Sacco and Vanzetti; the latest news from Broadway; the development of motion pictures with sound; the downward spiral of Charlie Chaplin's marriage. It all was consumed by and led to The Long Count fight, which was more than just a boxing match, but a genuine cultural event, one of the biggest bouts in the sport's history in terms of money and anticipation.
Between two fights involving Tunney and Dempsey there were 20 rounds and over 200,000 live spectators with gold-embossed tickets. The boxers traded knockdowns, though only one mattered. Indeed when Tunney backed into a left hook and clean-up combination that sent him down in round seven, the count administered by referee Dave Barry became the focus of all Tunney vs Dempsey lore.
Dempsey finally where he's supposed to be but it's too late.
With crowds gathered in New York streets, people riding cable cars with no destination and inmates at Sing Sing and New Jersey State Prison listening, Barry administered a delayed ten-count to Tunney when Dempsey stood over his prey and lingered in the wrong corner for too long. Tunney rose and weathered the onslaught, even dropping Dempsey in the following round with a right hand, but Barry's quick count only served to amplify the complaints after "The Fighting Marine" won another decision. And with that, more whimper than bang, the reign and time of the great Jack Dempsey was brought to an end.
Barry resumes the count as a clear-eyed Tunney prepares to rise.
When complaints quickly came, it didn't take long for Tunney's representatives to bring up a pre-fight meeting with Illinois commissioner John Regiheimer attended by members of both fighters' camps, where it was agreed upon that a fighter scoring a knockdown must immediately go to a neutral corner. Nat Fleischer, founder and editor of The Ring and Dempsey's biographer, was among those who thought it "plausible" that Tunney could have risen even with a normal count.
"The arguments were only beginning and they would stretch across the next forty years. But the long count was over," Heimer wrote in 1969. What he might not have predicted is that the arguments would go on for another 40 years, the mythology still intact.

Paul On Prophecy 1 CORINTHIANS 14:1-25
Paul urges the Corinthian Christians to pursue the way of God's agape-love rather than indulging in arguments about spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues and prophecy. But he also urges them to desire the supernatural gift of prophecy.
Biblical Prophecy: Speaking For God
Biblical prophecy = speaking out words from God to his children.It includes -
both FORTHTELLING - words of encouragement, instruction, & rebuke
and FORETELLING - warning God's people of future events
The most important role of biblical prophecy is to call God's children to repent of their sins and return to God.
Old Testament Prophecy
The Old Testament prophets were men and women called by God to be his spokespersons. Their primary role was to speak God's warnings to his children about their sin - their natural tendency to wander away from the Living God, who had delivered them from slavery in Egypt and given them a land flowing with milk and honey, as he had promised centuries earlier to Abraham.
Some of the prophets, like Samuel and Jeremiah, had heard God's call when they were just children or young men. (For more on the call of Samuel, Jeremiah, go to 1 SAMUEL 3 and JEREMIAH 1 and DANIEL 1.)
Others found themselves called as adults to speak God's message to kings, civil and religious leaders, and to God's chosen people Israel - for example, AMOS, ISAIAH, HOSEA and ZECHARIAH. God also used women to be his spokespersons - for example, Miriam, Deborah, and Esther.

Mill Creek In Final Negotiating Stages With Paragon for Movie Theaters at Founders Row
August 6, 2022 4:47 PM by Nick Gatz
Saturday, August 6 — The Mill Creek Residential Trust, developers of the new Founder's Row mixed use development at the intersection of W. Broad and N. West Streets in the center of the City of Falls Church, announced through a new filing with the City that it is "in the final stages of securing a lease with Paragon Theaters," noting that "Paragon will operate a 88 7-screen movie theater, including an IMAX-similar screen with a total capacity of approximately 89 600 seats."
This is one less screen and approximately 150 fewer seats than previously agreed to in the voluntary concessions previously agreed to by the City, so this necessitates a revised application that will be considered by the City Council this Monday night.
The plan is for Paragon to follow the multi-screen models it now operates in Del Ray Beach and Naples, Florida, Cary, North Carolina and Fredericksburg, Virginia.

What fruit tree to plant?
We would like to plant a fruit tree that we might get fruit from. We are replacing a peach tree that has completely died that was here when we moved in. It is located on the west side of the house and about 30 feet from the house. We are open to getting another peach tree but the one we are replacing only produced fruit 2 years out of the 14 we have lived here. We live at Tower Road and I-70 area of Aurora, CO. There is a crab apple tree located about 15 feet north of the area we are planting. The area receives some shade from two honey locust trees that are located west of it. The ground is hard clay soil.

Former union minister Thungon convicted for graft
A special court here has convicted former union minister P.K. Thungon in a 1998 corruption case.
Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Judge Ajay Kumar Jain on Monday convicted Thungon, also a former Arunachal Pradesh chief minister, and three others in the corruption case. The order became public on Tuesday.
The court will hear arguments on the quantum of sentence on July 27.
Thungon, then the minister of state for urban development and employment in the P.V. Narasimha Rao government, along with the other accused, was involved in misappropriating money meant for an irrigation project in Nagaland.
According to the CBI, Thungan connived with officials of Nagaland's irrigation and flood control department in placing a bogus order for sausage wire for a project during 1993-94.
Investigations revealed that no wire was supplied to the department but payments were made against bogus delivery. - IANS


There's never a shortage of paper straws in this household...I always grab a pack whenever I see them go on clearance at the local craft store, TJ Maxx, or Homegoods. So, when I saw a paper straw and wood bead garland featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine I was rearing and ready to go!
This was a super easy craft to do, and it would even be do-able with little ones. Simply lace cut paper straws (I cut them into thirds) and wooden beads onto yarn or heavy nylon string, then tie up the ends and you're done.
To make the "ends" easier to work with (and avoid having to tie a knot the size of your head), I cut about an 18-foot length of string and tied the ends together to form a large loop, thus "doubling" the string over into a 9-foot length. Then I strung a bead onto one end of the loop, tucked the bead in-between the two strings and pulled the bead tautly to the end. This allowed the wood bead to be the end of the garland, allowing me to easily string the other pieces on without having to worry about tying a knot large enough to keep the beads/straw pieces on the string.
Clear as mud? Hopefully this photo helps...see how the bead is holding the garland together without having to tie a knot? I did this to finish off the other end as well.
That's the only complex part, the rest is just stringing the pieces on in whatever pattern you like.
This garland is a festive addition to our big 'ol Texas star but it would look really cute strung around a Christmas tree as well. Happy decorating!

Dizzy? Tired? You Might Have Bradycardia
Sometimes, a drop in your energy levels isn't just a side effect of getting older: it's a symptom of bradycardia. Here's what happened when one woman had a scary fall — and how she got back on her feet.
By Denise MannMedically Reviewed by Farrokh Sohrabi, MD
Barbara Hanson, above, is just as active as ever thanks to the help of a pacemaker.Barbara Hanson
Because Barbara Hanson, 75, spent so much of her time on the go, she never suspected she had a troublingly slow heart rate. A Dallas-based, part-time teacher for the blind, she still spends her days traveling from school to school and helping children learn Braille. But about a year ago, her schedule was suddenly interrupted when she began falling down on the job — literally.
"It's pretty scary when you are walking through the school, and the next thing you know, you're flat on your face," she recalls. "I'm not the kind of person who runs to the doctor real often, but this was enough to scare me."
When Hanson arrived at the doctor's office, the internist ordered an electrocardiogram, or EKG. This test measures the electrical activity in a person's heart. Sure enough, after the results came back, she was diagnosed with bradycardia.
Until her diagnosis, Hanson had never even heard that word before. She also had no reason to suspect she had an underlying heart condition. At the time, she was taking medication to control her high blood pressure, but otherwise was in excellent health.
What Is Bradycardia?
"Bradycardia is a common [heart] rhythm disturbance," says David Friedman, MD, chief of heart failure services at North Shore-LIJ's Franklin Hospital in Valley Stream, New York, and an assistant professor at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine. The disorder is characterized by a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute, according to the American Heart Association. (Unless you're a very active young adult, this heart rate is considered to be slow.)
It "starts silently and decreases the ability of the heart to pump oxygen-rich blood to the body," says Dr. Friedman. The result: fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, and exercise intolerance. "The tendency to pass out or feel dizzy or light-headed easily is a warning sign," he says.
People who have risk factors for heart disease, including high blood pressure, can have an increased chance of developing bradycardia, says Friedman. An EKG test can help a doctor spot the condition. Another option: Tracking your heart rate with a Holter monitor, which can identify the heart rhythm disorder.
How Do You Treat Bradycardia?
The good news is that bradycardia can be treated and even cured. Friedman explains that certain medications can slow down a person's heart rate, and stopping that treatment can in turn stop bradycardia.
Even if the condition can't be reversed, doctors can still treat it with a pacemaker. Pacemakers are small, battery-operated devices that are implanted in a person's chest. They continuously monitor the heart's electrical system and correct any abnormal rhythms.
Hanson received a pacemaker of her own shortly after her diagnosis. "It's about as big as a 50-cent piece," she says of the device. "The operation was simple."
Since then, Hanson says she feels better than ever. She's hasn't experienced any other symptoms of bradycardia, nor has she fallen down, either.

Hanson also doesn't need to take her high blood pressure medication anymore. She continues to swim at her local YMCA every day and is more confident about getting around and watching her grandchildren.
"There are a lot of things that I can do better," she says.
There are certain drawbacks that come with wearing a pacemaker. Cell phones, MRI machines, and metal detectors can interfere with them. Still, that doesn't bother Hanson. She can't hold her phone too close to her chest, but she says that's certainly preferable to falling down frequently.
Hanson's last word of advice: Don't dismiss any of these symptoms as just being one more thing that occurs with old age.
Tell your doctor if you've been feeling short of breath lately or tired during exercise, says Friedman. All it can take to determine if you have bradycardia is one EKG. And if you're diagnosed with the condition, work out a follow-up plan with your doctor, he says.

Chawrasia leads in Delhi
SSP Chawrasia has a one stroke lead over the rest of the field at the Hero Indian Open.
The Indian carded a four under 67 on the Delhi course to leave him on ten under after two rounds, one stroke ahead of Bangladeshi Siddikur Rahman.
Chawrasia played solid golf, starting off with a birdie on the first and rolling in eight pars in a row. At the turn, he birdied the next two par fours and earned another on the 16th to give him the outright lead.
"I'm playing very well the last two days," the 36-year-old told europeantour.com.
"I've played here many times so I know how to play on this course…this is the first time I'm bogey free after 36 holes.
"I feel good and aggressive – I will do the same on the last two days. I'm very happy because I saved a lot of pars: it wasn't easy to keep the bogeys away from my card, I had to make a lot of saves.
"It is tough when the wind changes direction but I know how to handle it here. I played well through the 2014 season and I started well this year as well, so I'm feeling very confident. I'm very excited for the next two days."
Sweden's Joakim Lagergren is tied with Chapchai Nirat on six under, four shots off the pace.


Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, "Rejoice!"
Rejoice! Rejoice! Again I say, "Rejoice!"
But this is the beginning of some instructions with promises attached to them.
See the instruction? "Careful" is old English for "anxious." So we are to be anxious for nothing. But God doesn't leave us there. He not only tells us what not to do; He tells us what to do instead.
"... in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
Prayer is asking and supplication is also asking. God wants us to ask Him, not everyone else, and He wants us to ask Him with thanksgiving. And there's a promise with that.
So when you, instead of being anxious about something, ask God for help and thank Him for taking care of you, the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.
Notice it's the peace of God, not the peace that comes from anything in the world. And notice it says the peace of God "shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Your heart and your mind shall be peaceful because the peace of God shall keep them.
Do you need to understand that peace and how it's going to keep your heart and mind - especially when you're really worried because the situation is so very dire? No. In fact, you can't understand it because it says the peace of God passes all understanding. But you will be peaceful.
So God has told us what not to do, what to do instead, and what promise we'll get when we do what He told us to do.
The next verses are also instructions with a promise.
So we are to think about things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report. We're to think about things that have virtue, things that are worthy of praise. Then it tells us to do the things that we've learned and received and heard and seen in this man of God. And if we do that, the God of peace shall be with us.
So again we have the instruction and the promise. But notice the promises are almost the same.
If, instead of being anxious, we ask God for what we need and thank Him for taking care of us, His peace shall keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
If we think about things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report - things that have virtue and praise - and do what we've learned and heard and received and seen in the man of God, God, who is the God of peace, shall be with us.
Now look at 1 Peter.
Most people try to exalt themselves - give themselves a higher position or make themselves look better. But if you humble yourself under God's hand, I guarantee He will exalt you one day and that will be far better than you could ever exalt yourself!
We are to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God. And in humbling ourselves, we are to cast all our care on Him because He cares for us.
God has not given us the spirit of fear (which is what worry and anxiety really are). God has given us power and love and sound minds. That's why we can cast all our care on Him; that's why we can be anxious for nothing; that's why we can think things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report - things that have virtue and praise; and that's why we can do what we've learned and heard and received and seen in the man of God. Then the peace of God shall keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus and the God of peace shall certainly be with us and God will exalt us in due time.
Notice it says, "Thus saith the Lord." These are not man's words; they're God's Words.
But what does it mean to make flesh your arm? Well, the arm God's talking about here is not the thing attached to your shoulder; it's your weapon. When you carry a weapon, you're said to be armed. A pistol is a side arm. To make flesh your arm or your weapon is to trust in man to take care of you - to fight your battles for you, so to speak.
If you trust in some man, or woman, or group of men or women, or even yourself to take care of you, you've made those people your weapon and notice it says your heart has departed from the Lord because you should have been trusting Him, not them. This is the figure of speech where three things are said, but one thing is meant. "Trusteth in man," "maketh flesh his arm," and "heart departeth from the Lord" are all the same thing. And notice God says this man is cursed!
Verse 6 says more about it.
Do you know what a heath is? I didn't either, so I looked it up.
I can see this little juniper tree, all gnarled and twisted, growing out of the side of a rocky cliff, no soil to grow in, only rock. It gets almost no water and it's in the hottest part of the desert. Nothing can even get to it except the goats on a tiny ledge and they eat the few little leaves it has. And nothing else grows around it, because the verse says it's in a salt land.
Have you ever seen the Utah salt flats? There's nothing but salt for miles and miles! And about every hundred yards or so, there's a scrawny, little plant that's pushed its way up through the salt.
This heath is in such dire straits it can't even see when good comes! People who trust in man, even in themselves, are just like that.
You know those people! Things are always going wrong for them. And they're full of fear and always complaining about everything. They can't even see when good comes. They wouldn't recognize a good thing if it walked right up and bit them on the nose! If they won a million dollars, they'd worry about how they were going to pay the taxes on it! That's the curse. They can't even see when good comes!
But, look at the next verse.
I've seen those trees. There's a river that flows from Mt. San Jacinto into the Palm Springs area. They say there are seven waterfalls on that river. I've been to the bottom two.
In August at midnight it's still 100 degrees in Palm Springs! If you park just off Highway 111 and walk to the river, you'll see that, even though the river is there, 20 feet from the bank it's desert - dry and parched and hardly anything grows there.
But if you walk upstream, eventually you'll get to a waterfall. The water falls and makes a pool and the spray goes up. There are trees all around the pool, close together, with their branches covering the pool like a canopy, holding the spray in. When you walk into that room, it's like walking into air conditioning! It must be easily twenty degrees cooler in there!
Those trees don't even see when heat comes! Their leaves are always green. They don't even know what a drought is! Yet twenty feet away it's desert!
You'll be like those trees when you trust God for everything in your life!
See that? Don't worry about them or envy them because they're going to be cut down.
This is written to Israel but it's still true. If you trust in the Lord and do good, you won't be cut down; you'll live and be fed.
He's going to give you the desires of your heart. He's going to bring it to pass. You don't have to do it!
You can't bring forth your own righteousness, but God will bring forth both your righteousness and your judgment. And it doesn't matter how old you are or how smart you are. God will do it for you!
Just rest in the Lord and don't get upset when other people seem to prosper even though they're wicked.
One day the wicked won't exist. We'll look for his place and it won't exist; there won't even be a trace of him!
Jesus Christ taught this in the sermon on the mount.
Yes, evil people plot against us. The devil is always trying to kill God's people. But you know what?
And we can laugh at them, too, not only because we see that their day is coming, but because God takes care of us and protects us from them. Their attacks are nothing compared to the power of God! Even if they kill us, God will raise us from the dead and we will live forever!
Yes, the wicked want to cast down the poor and needy, and kill those who are of upright conduct. But look what's going to happen to them.
They're going to get killed with their own sword and their bows are going to be broken. So don't worry about them. God will take care of you!
Their weapons will be broken but God will take care of you.
The upright have an inheritance that shall be forever! This is written to Israel but the epistles tell us we, also, have an inheritance. So I guess we'll have to live forever to enjoy it, won't we?
The righteous can give because they know Who supplies their need.
The Lord always upholds us!
"Judgment" here is "justice." God will not forsake His saints, which are us in this Age of Grace.
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment [justice].
See that? None of our steps shall slide - not even one!
God's been protecting you your whole life. That's why you haven't seen anyone trying to kill you lately. And God will continue to protect you! So trust Him!
God will exalt you. And when the wicked are thrown into the lake of fire, you're going to see it!
Our salvation is from God. He is our strength, not ourselves or anyone else! Why does He deliver us? Because we trust Him! That's the key!
Now let's look at this in action.
Jehoshaphat was the king of Judah. So these nations are actually attacking Judah.
We'll see how great a multitude this is later on.
When they fasted, they prayed to God. Jehoshaphat went to God and told all the people to go to God, also.
Why didn't he "tighten security" at his airports and caravan assembly points? Why didn't he pass a "Patriot Act" or set up temporary flight and camel restrictions?
Because he knew that nothing he could do would protect God's people from their enemies. Remember? Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm! Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord!
See that? The people followed Jehoshaphat's lead and went to God, also.
He led them in prayer. (Wouldn't it be great if our President would lead our nation in prayer?) And in his prayer, he reminds God - and himself - and the people - who God is and what He's done and what He's promised.
He tells God the problem. Those three nations are coming to attack them! And in the land that God gave them to inherit!
He asks for God's help. ("... let your requests be made known unto God.") And he knows that he can't do anything about the situation, himself. But he's trusting God.
They all stood before the Lord. This was not something just the leaders did. Nor even something just the men did. All the people - old, young, wives, children - all were trusting God. It doesn't matter how old or how young you are; you still have to trust God.
Now why him? Because he's a Levite (the priest tribe). And he's a descendant of Asaph, who wrote several of the psalms. It doesn't say whether he was young or old. It doesn't say whether he had any special position.
But he had to be someone who believed God. You see, he's taking a real chance here. What if the king doesn't like what God told him to say? What if the priests disagree?
But God called him to deliver His message and Jahaziel did it with boldness, even though he was talking to the king!
Look at that! The battle was not theirs, but God's! Maybe some of your battles are really God's, too.
God told them exactly where to find these guys! They couldn't have had better intelligence if they'd had a spy at the enemy's war council!
Wow! Judah won't even have to fight in this battle! That's going to be a miracle. And it's not exactly the easiest thing in the world for them to believe, especially with so much on the line - unless they're trusting God.
Now let's see what the king does.
Look at that! Jehoshaphat believed the Word of the Lord, even though he was the king and even though it came from this nobody Levite, Jahaziel! Wouldn't it be great if our President did that!
But notice it says, "all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord." They all believed the revelation, too! Wouldn't it be great if our whole nation did that?
They got up early. They didn't want to miss what God was going to do. And the king reminded them to trust God. He knew that was the key.
Singers? Why didn't he appoint archers? Why didn't he appoint swordsmen? Because God told them they wouldn't have to fight in this battle and the king and the people believed God. So, no need for swordsmen; let's appoint singers.
Now look at this. When they began to sing, God set the ambushments. So maybe Jehoshaphat appointed singers because God told him to.
But who ambushed those guys? Judah? I thought they only had singers. What did they do, sing off key?
Wait a minute; it says the Lord set the ambushments. So who ambushed those guys? Angels?
Well, we can guess or we can keep reading. What's the chances we'll get it right if we guess?
Wow! Ammon and Moab destroyed the inhabitants of Mount Seir and then they killed each other! Who would have guessed that would happen?
This watch tower was what Ammon and Moab and Seir were going to use to see when Judah was coming. But Judah got there and nobody was on watch because they were all dead. And none escaped! Judah didn't even have to chase them!
This spoil is not rotting vegetables. It's the gold and jewels and other valuable things the army brought with them.
Notice it says the spoil was more than Judah could carry away. Now think about that.
The armies brought the riches with them. They carried it to that place. And armies generally travel light, especially when they have a long way to go. So those guys, travelling light, brought in more riches than Judah could carry away.
That must have been quite an army! Judah was really outnumbered! If Judah had tried to stop them without God's help, they would have been wiped out easily!
When you're outnumbered, God will take care of your enemies, too!
They got together and thanked God for the victory and for the riches - the spoil.
Now wait a minute! They rejoiced over their enemies? That doesn't sound very humanitarian. And what happened to the spoil - the riches and jewels? Didn't they send any of it back to the countries the soldiers came from? Didn't they rebuild the countries whose armies were wiped out?
No! Verse 25 says they stripped off the riches and jewels "for themselves." They didn't send any of it back and they didn't rebuild the countries! And look what happened as a result of that.
So Judah prayed to God, believed the revelation, trusted God, did what God told them to do, and kept the spoils! And the fear of God was on all the other countries! And Judah had peace.
Maybe we'd have peace in our nation if we did that!
Maybe the fear of God will be on your unbelieving neighbors and you'll have peace when you pray to God, believe His Word, trust Him, and do what God tells you to do. I've lived in places where the neighbors didn't want to believe God. In fact, they were thieves and drug dealers. But I've heard them say to each other, talking about us, "Those are God's people. Don't mess with them!"
God will take care of you! Just trust Him!

Why all the hate for AOL?
February 19, 2011 By Terry Heaton 3 Comments
Ever since AOL's "AOL Way" manifesto was leaked, I've scratched my head over all the fuss. This is an internal PowerPoint designed to spread the business mission of the company among its employees. It's back in the news this week, because editor Paul Miller has quit AOL's Engadget over what he describes as AOL being "an unwilling partner" in the evolution of Engadget. He's used the manifesto to detail his angst for all the world to see.
It doesn't take a veteran of the publishing world to realize that AOL has its heart in the wrong place with content. As detailed in the "AOL Way," and borne out in personal experience, AOL sees content as a commodity it can sell ads against. That might make good business sense (though I doubt it), but it doesn't promote good journalism or even good entertainment, and it doesn't allow an ambitious team like the one I know and love at Engadget to thrive.
I will admit that I have no personal experience with what it's like to work with AOL, but I've read this "AOL Way" and just don't get the fuss. Mr. Miller is doubtless a fine writer, editor and journalist, but this feels an awful lot like one of those multi‐sided stories about which we only have one view.
The world of journalism is overflowing today with confusion and concern about its future. There are wonderful minds dedicated to figuring out how to pay for the news and lots of stories about how "real" journalism is losing the battle. Everybody wants to go back to the days of double‐digit automatic growth, when operating as a profit center didn't mean necessarily playing by the rules. That's all gone, and when anybody actually tries something about making money today, these same people start groaning about how it violates some ethical mandate of purity. We can't have it both ways, folks. Not. Gonna. Do. It.
I've followed Tim Armstrong's efforts since taking over the reins at AOL. I support and have written about his anti‐portal strategy, and I think the guy's pretty smart. His purchases of TechCrunch and The Huffington Post were both smart strategy, so I think the guy really does understand content and advertising. I'm willing to give him a chance, which is why I find stories like Miller's departure so difficult to embrace.
What do you want, people? Moving big rocks up a hill is a job for folks with courage, strength, vision and purpose. Sitting back waiting for one to roll downhill, so you can criticize the effort is for malingering, lazy jackwagons (love that word) who have nothing better to do.

What do we want? Great content, first of all. Was something wrong with the Engadget before AOL, monetization‐wise? I think we people just do not want media to be produced the "AOL Way"…
Ron Stitt says
I don't hate AOL. But I do wonder "what's the point?" You know, raison d'être?

The Mountain Dew Interstate Winged Sprintcars roared into Meridian Speedway for High Desert Harley-Davidson night at the asphalt quarter-mile. The Pepsi Crate Cars and Idaho Sprintcar and Roadster League Super Sixes, Project Filter Pro-4, TEAM Mazda Mini Stocks, Big Daddy's Barbecue Hornets, and High School Tuners filled the action-packed Saturday, July 21 schedule.
As darkness settled over Meridian Speedway the Project Filter Pro-4s took the green for their 25 lap feature. The outside line was the place to be as Scott Shoecraft overpowered Ben Harris to take the early lead in his Creek Enterprises, B&W Wrecker entry. This dropped Harris into the clutches of Alex Duda, who quickly pulled alongside to battle for the runner up spot. Harris got the better of the second place battle, and on lap eight swung to the outside of Shoecraft to put his Kim's Kars, H&H Auto racer up front.
Deep in the pack Brendon Fries fought his way through an uncooperative field to catch championship rival Kenny Chandler. At the race's halfway point Chandler held fourth with Fries glued to his bumper in fifth. But all was not well under the hood of Chandler's Project Filter, Fairly Reliable Bob's racer, and with just nine laps left the Kuna, Idaho driver's race ended in a cloud of smoke.
With Chandler out of the picture Fries redoubled his efforts for the win. After Fries followed Nampa, Idaho's Ryan Bailey around Harris, Fries jumped to the high line and drove his Chick-fil-A of Meridian, Boise Boys Transportation machine to the lead. Once out front the quick-qualifier walked away from the field to claim a clean sweep of High Desert Harley-Davidson Night.
A full field of Mountain Dew Interstate Winged Sprintcars blistered the asphalt quarter-mile as they contested a 25 lap feature. Pole sitter Matt Elliott got to the gas pedal first in his Westside Body Works, Scott Fulcher Trucking machine and flashed into the early lead. Not to be outdone, Nampa, Idaho's Cory Lockwood sliced through the pack and took his Herold's Auto Body, Dave Hever Race Engines entry into second.
The man on the move was Bryan Warf. Within just five laps the Meridian, Idaho racer moved from his back of the pack starting spot to fourth on the Pepsi-Cola scoreboard and worked to reel in the top three. By the race's halfway point Warf was embroiled in a battle with Lockwood and third place runner Justin Segura. After a wild four lap battle Warf piloted his Allan Marsh Travel Center, Rex Hutchinson Racing Engines machine into third and set his sights on Lockwood.
Just seven circuits remained as Warf pinned Lockwood behind a lapped car to take second. With a two second deficit to erase Warf slung his sprinter through the turns and dismantled Elliott's lead. With Warf on his bumper Elliott tried to defend the inside line, but with three circuits left Warf snuck beneath Elliott and roared to the lead. This would prove the winning pass as Warf crossed the Caleb's Chop Shop Victory Stripe first.
Meridian Speedway falls silent next Saturday, July 28, as your NASCAR Home Track prepares for the tenth annual Eve of Destruction. After a nine year hiatus Trailer Racing makes its triumphant return Saturday, August 4, with the Beat Jet Dragster Meltdown, Bid Daddy's Barbecue Hornets versus the Gauntlet, Spectacular Drags, Fireworks, and more to fill your appetite for destruction. The Royal Purple Modified Series, Domino's Legends, Teleperformance Claimer Stocks, and Bombers round out the Saturday, August 4, schedule as they beat and bang their way to the checkers. General admission is $18 for adults, $15.50 for seniors and military members, and $6.50 for kids 7-11. Seats are selling out fast. Skip the line at the gate and take advantage of a special pricing offer by purchasing your advance tickets online at meridianspeedway.com. Gates open at 4:45 p.m. with the first green flag at 6:45 p.m. We'll see you Saturday, August 4, for Eve of Destruction 10 under the big yellow water tower at Meridian Speedway.

City Lawmakers Exploring App-Based 'Guns for Bail' Exchange
Ethan McLeod
Photo via Wikimedia Commons
Last night, a resolution went before the Baltimore City Council asking members to consider letting the city trade bail time to defendants in exchange for their firearms.
The proposal came from Councilman Brandon Scott of the 2nd District. Rather than an actual bill, the measure is a resolution that, if adopted, says the council "supports the creation of a Guns for Bail program."
"Many have pushed for innovative ways to recover some of these weapons and allowing them to be turned in in lieu of bail could be a great way to achieve multiple goals," the text of Scott's resolution reads. "Baltimore is in a gun violence crisis and we need to strongly consider any viable way to get guns off our streets."
The inspiration for the idea comes from Baltimore-born entrepreneur Trevor Brooks, who started a company called GunBail. It uses an app that would let a defendant take a picture of his or her firearm and submit it to police. The company would then send a secure box with a trigger lock to the defendant. Once received by authorities, the defendant's bail costs would be covered.
Police wouldn't drop charges or make any other type of exchange, though under GunBail's model, they would need to agree not to tie the defendant to other crimes found to be committed with the same firearm.
Brooks has a compelling story. As a teenager, he got into an "altercation" with a friend while holding a gun, according to a promo video on GunBail's website. The friend was shot and killed, and Brooks was sentenced in 1993 to life in prison, with all but 45 years suspended. He served "close to 20 years" of the sentence before he was let out. When he returned to the outside world, he devised his idea as a way to prevents guns like the one he had obtained as a teen from ever getting into the wrong hands.
"GunBail is a way to diminish the opportunity to kill, to give us enough time to repair our communities," he says in the video.
His startup has received plenty of backing. An Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign has raised $40,000, far exceeding its $25,000 target.
His hope is for Baltimore to serve as the pilot location for his program. The city is a fitting candidate in 2017, with 122 homicides recorded so far through this morning, and a 24-percent bump in shootings through the last week of April, according to the most recent police data. Just last week, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lent the city a hand with investigating its many shootings by sharing its high-tech mobile logistics van.
Scott's resolution notes authorities have held buyback programs exchanging cash for guns in the past. For this idea, the Baltimore Police Department, State's Attorney's Office of Baltimore City, Maryland Office of the Public Defender, courts and others would have to get onboard and figure out a way to make it legally possible.
Baltimore Police chief spokesman T.J. Smith wrote in an email that the department is "always looking for creative ideas to get guns off of the street. We met with the founder of this idea, but an idea like this deserves a lot of scrutiny."
He noted legal components for its implementation would need to be addressed, and that police don't oversee the bail system.
Melba Saunders, spokeswoman for the state's attorney's office, said in an emailed statement that "at a time where gun violence continues to plague our communities and bail reform is at the forefront of our minds, such innovative programmatic concepts are inspiring."
Prosecutors previously met with Brooks and some of his partners and investors, Saunders said. "We thought the program required more development from a legal standpoint. We look forward to learning of the developments made since our last meeting."
Council members Eric Costello, Sharon Green Middleton, Leon Pinkett and Ed Reisinger co-sponsored Scott's resolution. The council referred it to a hearing with police department leadership, which is set for later this week.

The TPS65051-Q1 device is an integrated power-management IC for applications powered by one Li-Ion or Li-Polymer cell, which requires multiple power rails. The TPS65051-Q1 device provides two efficient, 2.25-MHz step-down converters targeted at providing the core voltage and I/O voltage in a processor-based system. Both step-down converters enter a low-power mode at light load for maximum efficiency across the widest possible range of load currents.
For low-noise applications, the user can force the devices into fixed-frequency PWM mode by pulling the MODE pin high. Operating in the shutdown mode reduces the current consumption to less than 1 μA. The devices allow the use of small inductors and capacitors to achieve a small solution size. The TPS65051-Q1 device provides an output current of up to 1 A (DCDC1) and 0.6 A (DCDC2). The TPS65051-Q1 device also integrates two 400-mA LDO and two 200-mA LDO voltage regulators, which one can turn on or off using separate enable pins on each LDO. Each LDO operates with an input voltage range between 1.5 V and 6.5 V, allowing the supply to be from one of the step-down converters or directly from the main battery.
The LDO voltage of the TPS65051-Q1 device is adjustable using external resistor dividers.

Charlotte Hornets wrapup: Friday's home game vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
Notes and observations from Friday's 108-102 Hornets' home win over the Cleveland Cavaliers that improved Charlotte to 29-30 overall:
… Losers of six of their last seven, Charlotte trailed 87-83 when coach James Borrego called a timeout with 6:53 to play. Was their panic? "I didn't feel it slipping away at all," said the Hornets P.J. Washington, whose team scored the next eight points and never trailed again. "It was about getting stops. We had to buckle up and get stops. Once we got stops, it was easier for us to score."
… Washington, Miles Bridges and Terry Rozier scored 25 points apiece to lead Charlotte. "We needed all three," Borrego said. "We needed every point." Jalen McDaniels added 10 points, Devonte' Graham eight points and 10 assists and Bismack Biyombo four points and 11 rebounds, including a career-high nine offensive rebounds.
… Cleveland's guards Collin Sexton and Darius Garland scored 28 and 27 points, respectively. "Their guards are fantastic," Borrego said of Sexton and Garland. "They are a handful."
… Since Charlotte trailed by 10 points twice in the second quarter, it marked the 10th rally this season for a win in a game the Hornets had once been behind by double figures. "This was a gutty win," Borrego said. "This was a character win. This was a resilient win."
… Borrego gave a positive update on rookie guard LaMelo Ball as he rehab's a broken right wrist after getting the cast taken off on Monday and returning to some practice drills. "He's making progress," Borrego said of Ball. "I can say that. From Day 1 to where he's at today, he's made a significant jump. Every day it's getting better and better. We're moving in the right direction."
… Friday's starting lineup was the team's 19th of the season – guards Graham and Rozier, forwards Cody Martin and Bridges and center Washington. The lineup of Graham, Rozier, Hayward, Washington and Bismack Biyombo has started the most (22 games, 11-11 record) and only one other lineup has been used in more than 10 games. In fact, 17 starting lineups have been for one, two, three or four games.
… Borrego said afterwards that he'll continue to juggle the lineups and rotations in hopes of balancing offensive firepower and with defensive energy.
What's next: The Hornets host the Boston Celtics on Sunday at 1 p.m.
