Your reader this week is David Moore - click his name to visit his Livejournal page. David works for Solaris and Abaddon Books, reads stories for DARK FICTION audio magazine (check out some stories he's narrated here, here & here) and has a story coming up in the April 4th released anthology PANDEMONIUM: STORIES IN THE SMOKE, in which Charles Dickens is given the genre treatment. He has earned the gentle ministrations of our tentacles and our unending gratitude for a late-game save!
'More fool them,' said Stanley Judkins, at once rudely and ungrammatically. 'Who ever took any harm going there?' he added.
'What d'you mean, three women and a man?' said Stanley, turning over for the first time and looking at the shepherd (he had been talking with his back to him till this moment: he was an ill-mannered boy).
And though I stand as King Under the Mountain, I am burdened yet again with the need to locate and read another collection of ghost stories. I've been working my way through the complete works of Ambrose Bierce for a while, which I picked up because Episode 200 and Oil of Dog kept picking at the corner of my brain.
The two could have been contemporaries, although geography and their loyalty to region would conspire to keep them apart. Based on the provided quote, I think he would be bothered by the all-too-frequent non-malevolent ghosts of Bierce.
Anyone have suggestions for the best collection of James's work?
As James is now in the public domain, there are quite a few "complete tales" out there (he wasn't particularly prolific).
Re: Bierce/James - I think James would have looked askance at the pre-Freudian proto-psychology of Bierce pieces like "The Death of Halpin Frayser" and, as James was very obviously a religious man, the cynical, gloomy view of the afterlife in a story like "The Moonlit Road" (RASHOMAN before there was RASHOMAN!) would have struck him as irreligious (to say nothing of THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY). He might have dug "The Middle Toe Of The Right Foot", though!
Bierce would have probably found James too stuffy and dusty of an academic.
It's great to see these classics getting the Pseudopod treatment.
The moral of the story was very apt - using your head and relying on yourself, not adults, is pretty much exactly what the Baden Powell wanted to teach. I like that it translated all the way through, even to the point where the young listeners were left to work out the moral for themselves.
It makes sense that this one was written specifically for the Scouts. This guy really knew his audience.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who went out and bought the complete works of Bierce after Episode 200!
As far as James goes, I've been reading stories of his on and around Christmas for a couple years now, and he really isn't that prolific. Off the top of my head, I think he only published around 30 or so stories, most of them relatively short. They are all or mostly all in the Public Domain, so Wikisource and Gutenberg are reasonable places to read them, although I am quite a fan of the Librivox recording of "Ghost Stories of An Antiquary" read by Peter Yearsley. He has an excellent voice and is probably my favorite Librivox reader. The Librivox version of "Ghost Stories of an Antiquary" is actually James' first two collections (out of 4). The first eight stories are from the original book of the same name, and the rest are from "More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary" which was published a couple of years later. I'd start there, if only because I find audio fiction goes faster for me in terms of actually getting around to reading it.
That said, you need to pay attention to some of the endings and I know I got more out of some stories by reading/listening to them more than once.
I think the 8 stories in "Ghost Stories of an Antiquary" (I've typed that too many times, haven't I) are a pretty good overview of James. They aren't universally his strongest stories, but neither are they his weakest. I'd put "The Ash Tree", "Lost Hearts", and "Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad" in my all-time James favorites, but tastes vary.
I do think that those first 8 stories hit most of his major themes and techniques and give a pretty good overview of his writing though. And some are weird little gems. For example, I didn't find "Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book" scary at all, but it's still one of those stories I find myself thinking about at weird times, and I'm not really sure what quality gives it that.
One last thing: WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LISTEN TO "THE TREASURE OF ABBOT THOMAS" IN AUDIO. It is one of the only stories not made for reading aloud. It contains long stretches of Latin and gibberish cipher letters that look much better on the page than read aloud. It isn't a bad story, but it is unlistenable. But being the thorough folks they are, Librivox recorded it anyway.

My original intention was to do "The Mezzotint". I forget why I abandoned that - perhaps it was the static, observational aspect of the "horror element" in it. The BBC, of course, has been doing superior readings of James for years - as well as notable TV adaptations - and I didn't think I could top the reading of "A Warning To The Curious" that was included on the BFI dvd of their production of that story. KPFA's THE BLACK MASS has already done superior versions of "The Ash Tree" and "An Evening's Entertainment" back in the 1960s.
I ended up choosing "Wailing Well" for two reasons (although I must admit that the jokey names caused me a little worry). One was that it was specifically written to be read aloud and two was that the climax had always stuck in my head as very modern - a moment of horror reduced by distance to a wordless spectacle which can only be observed and not influenced in any way. Oh, and additionally that the climax is a nasty piece of work indeed, as the poor kid is subsumed into the monstrous group!
Oh, and additionally that the climax is a nasty piece of work indeed, as the poor kid is subsumed into the monstrous group!
I agree, it's this corruption that makes the story truly horrific, and is the basis for much of the "monster" type horror stories: particularly vampire and zombie stories. If the boy had simply died, that would have been tragic, but he was transformed - damned to walk the earth as a hungry spectre - and presumably robbed of his ascent into heaven.
Perhaps a slightly heavy-handed parable about the consequences of disobeying one's elders!
Was the narrator of this drunk? He kept slurring and stuttering, he was very hard to understand.
Rule One, people. Is it that hard to remember a single rule?
I understood him just fine.
I really enjoyed the tale. A good mixture of humor and horror.
It is wonderful that you are giving props to the old masters. It felt the tiniest bit dated. For my tastes, I would have liked a little more time spent when they watched him encounter the ghosts.
Anyone for a toasted marshmallow? I like mine flaming.
How was I being insulting? I was merely stating the truth, he sounded drunk and was hard to understand.
Would you like to be similarly accused of being drunk in a narration you donated your free time to make? No? Well there you go.
There are nicer ways of saying what you wanted to say, is all.
Your message comes across like that of an uncouth nerf herder who punches kittens, skimps on tips, and asks for chocolate when someone hands you a free vanilla ice cream cone. I'm not being insulting, I'm merely stating the truth.
What it sounded like to me was he filled in for a reading on a very short deadline and did it in a single take or a minimal number of takes. Have you ever tried reading something from the written page without making any mistakes, stutters, stumbles, or "uh's", all while trying to get compelling tone, inflection, and pacing? I challenge you to try it out some time and rethink how you approach the matter.
I had no problems with the reading. I like M.R. James's voice and I did not have any trouble understanding it, despite listening at 80mph and trying to keep the volume only just loud enough to hear so as not to annoy the other passengers.
This was a fun bit of classical style horror, with a moral. It was obvious pretty early on that the unruly boy would meet an unpleasant end, but I didn't mind that, it was just a buildup to the inevitable. I tend to like a lot of stories from this era just for the style of the narrative voice that was popular in those days.
I particularly enjoyed M.R. James' reading, because I thought his pronounced and differentiated accents (I could tell the shepherd and teachers apart) made the piece more immersive.
I have always loved M.R. James' ghost stories, ever since I was a kid. He is probably my favourite. I love his style of the ghost being there all along, pursuing the protagonist (and the reader) and you didn't even realise until it was too late.
I'm sorry to see this is the only story of his on Pseudopod, I noticed that the Mezzotint was nearly chosen. It is my favourite story of his and would love to hear it.
Happy to have picked one you liked. My soft rule for Pseudopod is that I'd like to give the "Classic" authors one slot only - only because there are so many yet to do. But things may change in regards to that, who can say?
Fans of this story should check it out, and fans of M R James should check out the podcast as a whole.
Ooh, MR James podcast! Is it like the HPL Literary Podcast (which I really liked except when they kept staunchly insisting that he totes wasn't racist because they liked his writing)?


Kevin is a well‐built teen of tall stature with half combed brown hair and brown eyes.
His typical attire of a teal T‐shirt and bright red shorts.
When a favor is returned to him, Kevin is willing to return a favor back of his own. He is very active and he prides himself of being well‐built. When it comes to working out, Kevin is very supportive and motivational of the main character of getting ripped too.
It is also heavily implied, if not outright stated (and written all over the bathroom stalls), that Kevin is gay. His homosexuality is also one of the more well‐known secrets of the school.
Kevin is a student at the main character's high school. He is also working at the school's cafeteria. He agrees to spot the main character in the gym in exchange of his replacement in the cafeteria duty.
After finding a replacement for Kevin, the player is able to work out with him in the gym to improve the strength stat.


With an unexpected change in my work roster giving me an extra few days off, I recently found myself enjoying a 3 days paddling on the Upper Noosa river. Located North of Noosa on Queensland's Sunshine coast, the upper reaches of this river are a popular tourist destination and well known for tranquil, tanin stained water which produce incredible reflections.
The crossing across from the launch at Elanda point is often a little rough in the afternoons and this afternoon was no exception. My deck bag containing my camera gear certainly was put through its waterproof paces and came through with flying colours.
There were some promising looking clouds the first afternoon but the sunset was rather unspectacular but I made the most playing around with long exposures. Here's one of me with a rod in the water enjoying the serenity.
I spent the afternoon looking for a nice sunrise location and found this awesome tree at the far end of Lake Como which would make a striking sillouette.
After a bit of a break back at camp I hit the water again to scout out where I was going to shoot the sunset.
Ever seen a 2 headed Pelican before?
Often the difference between a good photo and a great one is not the technical aspects of focus and exposure but composition and perspective. With that in mind, and after trying a number of compostions I set my tripod up in the shallow water and waited for the right light.
This image above was my favourite from the trip, the blue in the image was achieved in camera but manually setting the White Balance to Tungsten.
The following morning saw a storm bearing down on my camp and I had no desire to be on the water surrounded by lightning and heavy rain, as it turned out the storm fizzled before it arrived and I would have had time to get to my sillouette tree and back safely. Oh well – next time.
A leisurely packup and then a exploratory paddle to check out some other potential locations for future reference – for those who know the area: did you know there is a small broken rocky buttress on the water near Fig Tree point?

Q: How can I position an image in an arbitrary position in beamer? I am making a presentation using beamer, and I want to be able to position a certain image the way I want in a frame. I am not sure how to do that.
Is there some way you can specify coordinates in the frame and then set an image there?
Is there a better way to place images in various places with the beamer class?

A: When I used such an application, I used either TikZ (my favorite), or, before knowing of TikZ, I used the textpos package.
I will briefly discuss both solutions.
TikZ
I suggest to use a TikZ \node with overlay option.
NOTE: there are two ways to use TikZ here: one with RELATIVE positioning (the approach discussed below) and one with ABSOLUTE positioning (please refer to the TikZ manual for such a task).
The overlay means that it has no bounding box, i.e. it won't affect the existing layout.
I wrote a short-cut macro around to simplify the generation of such a node. To use it, place the following code into you beamer document:
\tikzset{
  every overlay node/.style={
    draw=black,fill=white,rounded corners,anchor=north west,
  },
}
% Usage:
% \tikzoverlay at (-1cm,-5cm) {content};
% or
% \tikzoverlay[text width=5cm] at (-1cm,-5cm) {content};
\def\tikzoverlay{%
   \tikz[baseline,overlay]\node[every overlay node]
}%

So, the basic idea is a \node[overlay] which aligns well within the usual text (the baseline option). You will need to use the at (<x>,<y>) positioning to actually place it. The placement will be relative to the embedding text. Keep in mind that you may hide text with this thing (which is the purpose of the every overlay node style as you guessed correctly). Note that text later in the document is always typeset after earlier text passages. In other words: make sure the \tikzoverlay command comes after things you want to hide.
An example could be
Here is the text which will probably be hidden by the overlay.
\tikzoverlay[text width=6cm] at (9.3cm,5cm) {
  \begin{itemize}
  \item \emph{Derive subclass} from \texttt{GetOptWrapper}
  \item one \emph{variable definition} per option
  \item \emph{Default Values}
  \end{itemize}
};

You can safely combine this with beamer's \only<2> methods.
textpos
The second promised approach uses the textpos package. Since I think that this approach is weaker and less configurable than the one above, I simply copy-paste from my personal notes:
According to my old notes, the general usage is:
\usepackage{textpos}
\setlength{\TPHorizModule}{1cm} % horizontal unit
\setlength{\TPVertModule}{1cm} % vertical unit
...
\begin{textblock}{WIDTH}(OFFSET_X,OFFSET_Y)
CONTENT
\end{textblock}
...

Example with the package configuration above:
\definecolor{boxcol}{gray}{0.89}
\begin{textblock}{3}(8,-3)
\fcolorbox{black}{boxcol}{%
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}%
\setlength{\parskip}{0.1cm}%
A notice that was put in the page using coordinates
\end{minipage}
}%
\end{textblock}%

A: Solution without defining new variables or calling extra packages (other than Tikz):
For example, to put a figure in the top right corner, you can use:
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
    \node[xshift=-2cm,yshift=-2cm] at (current page.north east) {\includegraphics{photo.png}};
\end{tikzpicture}

The key is in the combination of current page.north east (which sets the anchor) and xshift={...},yshift={...} (which moves the node from that anchor). Notice that you can use any other anchor like current page.north west, current page.south west, current page.center, etc.
For more information, see Section 17.13.2 of the Tikz manual (it's just one page long).

A: The following code snipped uses remember picture for positioning.
\usetikzlibrary{calc}

\begin{frame}
\tikz[overlay,remember picture]
\node[anchor=north east] at ($(current page.north east)+(0,-1)$) {
  Top-right float content.
};

Regular content.
\end{frame}

It also uses the calc tikz library to specify an offset from the top left corner for positioning of the node, relative to the upper right corner. This will likely be a popular use case for positioning logos. X is right, and Y is up, so you will want negative offsets.

Revelation 17 lays out a wildly disturbing scene. A Bowl Judgment Angel approaches the Apostle John and says, "Come, I will show you… the Great Prostitute."
For her physical appearance, the Great Prostitute is described as having emblazoned across her forehead a tattoo that says: "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth." The woman is dressed in purple and scarlet and glitters with gold, precious stones and pearls. She holds a golden cup in her hand filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.
As for her actions, she commits adultery with the kings of the earth. She intoxicates the inhabitants of the earth with the wine of her adulteries. She rides upon a seven-headed, ten-horned, scarlet beast which is covered with blasphemous names and sits on many waters. She is found drunk on the blood of the saints who proclaim Jesus Christ.
A Blog Poll
Every month on The Christ in Prophecy Journal Blog at www.lamblion.us, we poll our readership on a topic related to Bible prophecy. In November 2008's blog poll we asked, "Who or what is the Great Prostitute of Revelation 17?" The purpose of the question was to determine the views of people on who or what they thought the woman is who verse 5 calls a "Mystery." The results are in the graph depicted below.
Fortunately for the readers of Revelation, the Bowl Angel goes on to explain to John what he is seeing. Unfortunately, though, the angel's description of the Prostitute is almost as mysterious as the scene itself, giving credence to her name "Mystery." And yet, the reader can look upon the larger structure of Bible prophecy within the Scriptures to discern who or what she is and is not.
Who She Is Not
A Woman — The Great Prostitute is not a yet unrevealed woman. For one, no individual can sit upon many waters (verse 1). Secondly, she is called a "great city that rules over the kings of the earth." Cities in the Bible are often used to represent people groups, empires, or systems. As much as some would like to point to the pop singer Lady Gaga or a particular female politician, neither they nor any other single woman fits the bill.
UN or EU — The Great Prostitute is not the United Nations or European Union. The Beast, we are told, is the future one-world leader who is handed over power to rule what ten future leaders of the earth will control (verses 12-13). While the Antichrist and ten kings will make war against Jesus and certainly kill many of Jesus' followers (verse 14), they hate the Great Prostitute and by God's prompting participate in her destruction (verse 16-17). Since these political systems will give rise to the ten kings, neither can they also be the Great Prostitute because they hate and kill her.
Hollywood — The Great Prostitute is not Hollywood. While Hollywood certainly spews its licentious garbage upon mankind who thirstily drink it down, it cannot be accused of the mass murder of believers in Christ (well, at least not physically).
Babylon — The Great Prostitute will not be a newly constructed city called Babylon. Babylon was certainly a great city like verse 18 states, but it is a city cursed, never to be rebuilt. Isaiah 13:20 makes it very clear that Babylon would cease to be inhabited forever. In accordance with this prophecy, Babylon was conquered by the Medes and then it began a long decline that ultimately resulted in its abandonment to the forces of nature. By the time of Christ, one eyewitness reported that the city was nothing but "mounds and stones and ruins." Even Saddam Hussein was unable to rebuild it into more than a paltry tourist spot. Why then is she also called "Babylon the Great?" Because Babylon has always been credited as the source of world cultic spiritual evil which will hold a dominant presence during the Tribulation.
Islam — The Great Prostitute is not Islam. Women are often used in the Scriptures to symbolize religious systems, and Islam is certainly a religious system. It has caused the bloody martyrdom of countless Christians in its 1,400 years. But, by the time of the Tribulation, Islam will be just another false religious system that will be wiped out. Islamic battles against Israel in Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38-39 will bring about the demise of Islam as a power.
What She Could Be
Because women are used in the Scriptures to symbolize religious systems, the Great Prostitute is indeed a religious system. The three remaining religious systems on the survey are the Apostate Church, a One-World Religion, and Humanism (which at its core is the worship of self).
Which religious system the Great Prostitute is can be interpreted by where she sits. The text says she sits in four places — on the beast (Antichrist), on seven hills, on seven kings, and across the nations and peoples of the world.
Apostate Church — The majority of voters (47%) voted for the Apostate Church. These voters could be correct based on the sitting reference in verse 9 to seven hills. Two major cities that rest upon seven hills are Rome and Istanbul (formerly Constantinople named after the Roman Emperor Constantine), and both were centers of government in the Roman Empire at different points in time. Istanbul can be discounted, though, for at the time of John's writing Rome was the commanding city of the known world, and John would have recognized it as such. Also, Istanbul loses any future prominence due to the elimination of Islam as a world religious system, as mentioned earlier. John was clearly looking towards Rome as the city on seven hills. Rome is the heart of the revived Roman Empire, which the world today is seeing grow out of the European Union.
Rome also houses the Vatican, which is the seat of Roman Catholic papal authority. This authority reaches across the "peoples, multitudes, nations and languages" of the world as verse 15 states. In its history, the Roman Catholic Church has the blood of countless Protestant believers and the victims of crusaders and inquisitors on its hands.
Also, after the Rapture, the only "Church" left will be the apostate followers of Christ who, as 2 Timothy 3:5 states, "have a form of godliness but denying its power." While many true believers will come out of the Catholic Church and be raptured as part of the Bride of Christ, the overall heretical structure will continue to exist during the first half of the Tribulation to give credence and support to the other apostate Christian denominations left in the world. The Vatican after the Rapture will be the universalistic banner to which all the Christians in name only will rally to.
One-World Religion — The second largest voting bloc in the poll (28%) believe the Great Prostitute will be a one-world religion. These voters could be correct based on her sitting on the seven kings of verse 10. Five of the kings fell before John's time, so they must have been pivotal to world rulership in relation to Israel. The sixth "one is" to John would have been Caesar. The seventh king who "has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while" is the Antichrist, called so in 1 John 2:18. "The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king" and "belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction" could only be Satan himself ruling through these seven human rulers throughout history, as there are no other kings after Jesus Christ once Jesus sets up His Millennial Kingdom. These kings extend over a time period much longer than the 2,000 years the Church has been around and cover all the world's peoples.
Humanism — A small minority (only 2%) voted that Humanism in all its flavors such as Cultural, Modern, Religious, but particularly Secular, will be the religion of the first half of the Tribulation. I myself voted in this group for this reason — all false religion stems from man's belief in Satan's lie from the Garden of Eden where Satan said "you will be like God" (Genesis 3:5). All expressions of worship not towards God are flat out rebellion against the Creator. Even if we personally are not the object of our own worship, by setting ourselves up in our own religion we are worshiping self, so therefore it is Humanism.
The Old Testament is overwhelmingly filled with God's stated hatred of spiritual harlotry. He chastised Israel again and again for running after foreign gods in rebellion. Be it an apostate form of what God truly wants, or a deviation from all norms that God has established for worship — man's rebellion is about the worship of self.
By the midpoint of the Tribulation when Satan indwells the Antichrist, whatever flavor of humanistic self-worship the people adhere to, all will be made to cease to exist. The Antichrist, False Prophet, and the Ten Rulers will be sure to take the Great Prostitute of human-willed spiritual harlotry and the institution in which she is enshrouded and "bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire" (verse 16). Only one religion will be allowed to exist 3 1/2 years into the Tribulation by the Antichrist's demonic master, and that will be the worship of Satan through his Antichrist "messiah."
Praise be to Jesus Christ who returns 3 1/2 years later to doom that "beast" to eternal destruction and set up His kingdom of peace and righteousness!

Satan has deceived the whole world until the woman of Rev 12 delivers the true word of God Rev 12:5. She is not a church, she is not Israel, and she is not Mary. She is the prophet like unto Moses and Elijah Matt 17:3, Acts 3:21-23, Luke 1:17 delivering the true word John 1:1 from the wilderness Rev 12:6 to prepare a people for the Lord's return. God our Father will not put any child of his into a hell fire no matter what their sins. It never entered the heart or mind of God to ever do such a thing Jer7:31, Jer 19:5. Turn your heart to the children of God. A gift is now delivered to the whole world as a witness Matt 24:14. http://minigoodtale.blogspot.com. A righteous judge gathers ALL evidence before making a judgment. If you are called to know the true word- Prove all things.
Web Minister says:
How could the women in the wilderness be a prophet? "She" is clearly Israel as she gives birth to the Messiah. For more info, check out this article The Mysterious Woman.
Debbie Fraser says:
I also disagree with what Val said.
Nathan… if you check out this link.. it further reveals how deep the deception the Roman Catholic Church is into as they prepare for the "space saviour". In my opinion this article would further the notion of the Catholic Church as being the "mysterious woman"(bride) waiting for her husband (antichrist, space saviour).
http://www.raidersnewsupdate.com/vaticana2.htm
Is there reason why "the woman" could not be America?
Funny America was not even on the list. She meets all the critera (read them) no other nation or religion meet these but America. After the Battle of EZ 38 against Israel which a ten nation Islam system will make a peace pact led by one of them who will become the antichrist…will allow America to "ride" or control this beast system for a period untill "they hate her" turn on her and burn her..This will probably happen just before the Abomnation of Desolation and the turn against all Jews and Christians…Yes there will be Christians here…There is no 'secert coming of Christ" in the Bible…Jesus in Matt 24 even teaches agaist "secert coming"…read it…
The article stated this:
"Also, after the Rapture, the only "Church" left will be the apostate followers of Christ who, as 2 Timothy 3:5 states, "have a form of godliness but denying its power." While many true believers will come out of the Catholic Church and be raptured as part of the Bride of Christ, the overall heretical structure will continue to exist during the first half of the Tribulation to give credence and support to the other apostate Christian denominations left in the world. The Vatican after the Rapture will be the universalistic banner to which all the Christians in name only will rally to."
O.k. -then earlier at the end of paragraph 3 as it displayed in my e-mail, the article stated:
"She is found drunk on the blood of the saints who proclaim Jesus Christ."
O.K.- there seems to be something I'm not getting here, if the church has been raptured who is this apostate religion persecuting? ("Also, after the Rapture, the only "Church" left will be the apostate followers of Christ)
There shouldn't be anyone left…
I don't get it. Anybody got an idea here?
P.s. -not trying to rain on the rapture doctrine… i'm just undecided about it at this point…
Thanks, Bill A.
Bill, Revelation 7:14 tells of a "great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb" who had "come out of the great tribulation." Revelation 20:4-5 says they were "beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus" and "had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands," indicating those at the altar are martyred for their faith in Christ during the Tribulation.
How do they learn about salvation? Some will be convicted by the Rapture itself. Others will be converted by the preaching of either the Two Witnesses in Jerusalem (Revelation 11) or the 144,000 Jewish disciples who will proclaim the Gospel (Revelation 7). Some will repent in response to the judgments of God (Isaiah 26:9). Others will respond to an angel of God who will preach the "eternal gospel" to all the world at the end of the Tribulation, right before the final pouring out of God's wrath (Revelation 14:6). For the Jews during the Tribulation, only a remnant of Jews will accept Jesus as their Messiah during that time and live through the Tribulation (Isa. 10:20-22; Jer. 4:27; Ezek. 11:19-20; Rev. 7; 14).
So, there will be many who after the Rapture will turn to Jesus as Savior, but they won't be members of the Church. We're talking about different ages/dispensations.
from bill a.
sounds solid… the "latter day saints" (not as in the LDS church but as in a potpourri of individuals as you've written). Cool. Thanks for clairifying that! Great program… been watching for years. Would love to see a conference with you guys, Irvin Baxter, Hal lindsay, Chuck Missler, Jack Van Impe- in a huge escatalogical meeting of the minds.
Bill A., thanks for those encouraging words! So good to hear "Christ in Prophecy" has been a blessing to you.
Lamb & Lion will be having a conference this June you should check out.
The whore is identified as a city in Revelations 17. So we know she represents a city.
The whore is accused of being drunk with the blood of saints and holy men. Now only ONE city in the Bible is accused of the same crime. That city is the whore AND also the "city" of Revelations 18.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you-Matthew 23:37
I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God's holy people -Revelations 17:6
In her was found the blood of prophets and of God's holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.- Revelations 18:24

For what conditions?
Many diseases are treated with corticosteroids. It would be difficult to include all of them on a single list. For example, when prednisoneentered the market, it concerned the treatment of over a hundred diseases.
A study in the UK revealed that the main conditions frequently requiering long term (i.e. > 3 months) prescriptions of oral corticosteroid over the past 20 years were:
Period 1990 – 2008
Asthma 25 – 30% of prescriptions
Polymyalgia rheumatica/ giant cell arteritis 15 – 20% of prescriptions
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 15 – 20% of prescriptions
Rheumatoid arthritis 5% of prescriptions
Cancer 5% of prescriptions
Eczema/ atopic dermatitis/ pruritus 5% of prescriptions
Other skin diseases 5% of prescriptions
Crohn's disease 3% of prescriptions
Ulcerative colitis 3% of prescriptions
Transplantation less than 2% of prescriptions
Connective tissue (e.g. systemic lupus) less than 2% of prescriptions
Sarcoidosis less than 1% of prescriptions
Addison's disease less than 1% of prescriptions
Other vasculitis (e.g. Wegener's granulomatosis) less than 1% of prescriptions
Myasthenia less than 1% of prescriptions
Kidney disease less than 1% of prescriptions
The same study showed that the main indications of short-term corticosteroid treatment were:
Bronchopulmonary and ENT diseases
E.g. asthma, bronchopulmonary infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, nasopharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis ~ 40% of prescriptions
Rheumatological and neurological diseases
E.g. facial paralysis, polymyalgia rheumatica, temporal arteritis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis 5 – 10% of prescriptions
E.g. mouth ulcers, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis ~ 5% of prescriptions
Dermatological diseases
E.g. hives, eczema less than 5% of prescriptions
Other diseases, e.g. cancer, kidney disease ~ 30% of prescriptions
Unknown reason for prescription 10 – 15% of prescriptions

By using Our Services or communicating with courseset, You agree that courseset may communicate with You electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to Your use of the Services or these Terms.

You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw Your consent from receiving electronic notice), please write to courseset at support@courseset.com. Notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after e-mail is sent, unless the sending party is notified that the e-mail address is invalid. Alternatively, courseset may give You legal notice by mail to a postal address, if provided by You through Your use any of the Services. In such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing.
Entire Agreement. These Terms and any policies applicable to You posted on Our Services constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
Waiver. A provision of these Terms may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of courseset to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
No Agency. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as making either party the partner, joint venture, agent, legal representative, employer, contractor or employee of the other. Neither courseset nor any other party to these Terms shall have, or hold itself out to any third party as having, any authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action that shall be binding on the other except as provided for herein or authorized in writing by the party to be bound.
Governing Laws. These Terms and Your use of the Services shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of California without reference to its choice or conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, and shall be considered to have been made and accepted in the State of California.
Before bringing a formal legal case, please first try contacting our support team at support@courseset.com. Most disputes can be resolved that way.
We Both Agree to Arbitrate. If we can't resolve our dispute amicably, You and courseset agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms, or any of Our other terms posted on Our Services from time to time, through final and binding arbitration. This applies to all kinds of claims under any legal theory.
Either of Us can bring a claim in small claims court either in San Francisco, California, or the county where You live, or some other place we both agree on, if it qualifies to be brought in that court.
In addition, if You or courseset brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated or any of Us refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, the other of Us can ask a court to force Us to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). You or courseset may also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.
No Class Actions. We all agree that we can only bring a claim against each other on an individual basis. That means: (a) neither You nor courseset can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action or representative action; (b) an arbitrator cannot combine more than one person's claim into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative arbitration proceeding (unless we both agree to change this); (c) an arbitrator's decision or award in one person's case can only impact the person who brought the claim, not other Users, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other Users. If a court decides that this subsection on "No Class Actions" is not enforceable or valid, then the entire Section 18 (Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver) will be null and void, but, the rest of the Terms will still apply.
The Arbitration Process. Any disputes between You and courseset relating to the Services that involve a claim of less than US$10,000 must be resolved exclusively through binding non-appearance- based arbitration. A party electing arbitration shall initiate proceedings by filing an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The arbitration proceedings shall be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, Consumer Due Process Protocol, and Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer-Related Disputes. In addition, You and courseset agree that the following rules shall apply to the arbitration proceedings: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted, at the option of the party seeking relief, by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any disputes between You and courseset relating to the Services that involve a claim of less than US$10,000 must be resolved in accordance with the AAA's rules about whether the arbitration hearing has to be in-person.
Jurisdiction for Legal Disputes Not Subject to Arbitration. If the Agreement to Arbitrate is determined to be invalid or unenforceable or for any disputes that do not qualify for arbitration, the dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in San Francisco, California. You hereby consent and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action.
Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the modification-related provisions above, if courseset changes this "Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by providing courseset written notice of such rejection by mail or hand delivery to: courseset, Inc. Attn: Legal, 600 Harrison Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94107, or by email from the email address associated with your Account to: privacy@courseset.com, within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated by the "last updated on" language above. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this "Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver" section.

There are lots of event planning and party planning businesses that exist in and around the greater Toronto area, but most want nothing more than for you to tell them your order and move on so that they can go about their day.
That's not how we work at Fiesta4Kids. We believe that every party is different and that each one should overflow with fun, function, and unique memories. Our goal is always to craft the perfect party or event for each client, and that means working with you to make sure that you're going to be getting something fun, memorable, and, yes, even magical. In order to do this, we try to learn about the type of event you want, the space you have available, and the people who will be attending so that we can cater to your specific needs.
Often, this means that we end up spending quite a bit of time working directly with each client and on their individual events. Other companies might not ask for as much of your attention, but with us, you're not just using a rental service and having party favors delivered. You're getting a partner who will make sure that your event is extraordinary. Even after you've completed the initial planning stages with us and put in your order, you can always contact us with questions or concerns. Our friendly and experienced staff will be happy to help you out and assure that your needs are being met.
Claudia Rivas opened the doors of Fiesta4Kids in 2002, and the company has been helping people in and around the Toronto area to craft unforgettable events and parties of all kindsever since. But if you ask her about it, Ms. Rivas will tell you that her career in party planning really began much earlier – way back when she was a child herself.
At the age of 11, Rivas discovered her knack for entertaining others, and was almost always putting on a show for someone or other. Sometimes it was in a more formal setting like the school play, but just as often she was making people laugh and cheer by dancing, pretending to be some kind of fictional character, or engaging in some other kind of antics. Others recognized her talents as well, and by the time she turned 13, Rivas was already hosting parties for other kids. That's where she discovered her true calling: creating magical and unforgettable events for people by discovering what they really enjoyed and giving them exactly what they wanted.
From that point on, it was a matter of honing her skills and learning new ones. She participated in festivals and other events. She gained experience in the business side of things as well as entertainment. And the more she put herself out there, the more people came to follow and depend on her for her unique talents. By the time she opened Fiesta4Kids, Rivas already had a loyal customer base, something that has only continued to grow over the years. The difference was that now she had more to offer people to make the party of their dreams a reality.
Because Fiesta4Kids is both an event planning company and a "party shop," we are in the unique position of being able to offer you everything that you need to get the party you want.
When we plan out events with clients, it's not an abstract exercise or a hopeful endeavor, but a nuts and bolts discussion where we'll break down what we have available and how you can use it to perfect your event. There's plenty to choose from, too. Our robust selections are designed to meet the needs of any client and any type of event.
Still wondering if we have what you need for your party? Check out some of our top-of-the-line products below.

After a series of regular monthly updates for 2003, Esmeralda marked a shift in Google Search infrastructure that would be the start of the demise of more significant, dramatic changes, also known as the Google Dance, for the search engine. Instead, it was replaced with Everflux. The June update was not considered as a direct change in algorithm, but an adjustment of the entire system.
The Google Dance was anxiety-inducing for several webmasters and SEO specialists since it came every month. While the updates may be regular, a lot can happen within 30 days. This means that there were dramatic changes with a lot of variables influencing how a page ranks, so it was difficult for site operators to pinpoint the exact cause of their wins or losses in the SERPs.
Esmeralda is considered to have brought about a significant infrastructure shift that allowed the search engine to have daily minor changes instead of making a huge splash every month.
There wasn't an official announcement on Esmeralda's exact effects. However, it was replaced with the Everflux update which pertains to the constant shift in the position of sites in the SERPs. There were times when new websites quickly climbed up the ranks in the index but are listed lower after some time.
Fresh Crawl – Fresh crawl occurs continuously. Its bots scour the web regularly for new content and incorporates it as quickly as possible into a secondary index. This is why newly-created pages sometimes rank high in the search engine during the first few hours.
Deep Crawl – Deep crawl, however, determines the more permanent ranking of a page. This one is carried out each month to update the data set. It's described as a data update or refresh. In this process, data from the primary and secondary indexes are evaluated. Time-related content that has lost relevance such as news, sports matches scores, and other events will be listed down in the index.
The primary benefit of Google Everflux was that new websites did not have to wait for a long time to be integrated into the search index. However, there was a considerable risk of a drop in ranking.
Google has updated this type of search infrastructure which led to volatile SERPs. Now, the index has continuous updates with incremental search where various crawlers look for new content while updating the index simultaneously.
Google's Webmaster Tools – Google provides free tools for webmasters that are excellent for website analysis. Fetch, one of Google's tools, allows you to view a specific URL as how the search engine sees it. This can help improve your SEO performance. There's also PageSpeed Insights which measures your site speed for both computer and mobile versions.
Ahrefs – Ahrefs is more for keyword research to help you make better content for your readers. Tools like Site Explorer, Content Explorer, and Keywords Explorer give you a holistic view of your web pages and the elements that generate traffic. Their Lite subscription plan costs 99 USD per month.
Website Grader – This one by HubSpot is another free website analysis tool that produces personalized reports on your site's performance, mobile readiness, SEO, and security; all of which affect how your pages rank on Google.
Check My Links – Check My Links is a free broken-link checker to ensure that you don't publish a post with a dead hyperlink which can harm user experience.
BuzzStream – For your link building efforts, Buzzstream can help you handle your outreach campaigns to potential partners. The tool makes it more manageable to find the right people in relevant niches to connect with, create effective emails, and track who has confirmed to work with you. It has a free 14-day trial with paid plans that begin at 24 USD per month.
SEO Report Card – This software by UpCity allows you to analyze how your website's performance compares with your competitors. The report includes rank analysis, link building, website accessibility, trust metrics, and current indexing.
Woorank – Another in-depth site analysis tool that categorizes the reports into eight sections: marketing checklist, SEO, mobile, usability, technologies, social, local, and visitors.
Pro Tools – Pro Tools by Moz include various research programs that give you data to determine SEO opportunities, track your traffic growth, generate reports, and evaluate your strategies to pinpoint room for improvements.

Q: Multi-File Assembly for ASP.NET (MVC) Project I want to adjust my MVC project, so that I can build a multi-file assembly.  My intent, as a proof of concept, is to make the root web.config a part of the MVC assembly.  The rationale for doing so, would be to prevent tampering with the web.config file.
The presumed "I must modify" section of the MVC project is here:
<Import Project="$(MSBuildBinPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />
<Target Name="MvcBuildViews" AfterTargets="AfterBuild" Condition="'$(MvcBuildViews)'=='true'">
  <AspNetCompiler VirtualPath="temp" PhysicalPath="$(WebProjectOutputDir)" />
</Target>

I don't recall how I can "influence" the imports.  For example, is there a property I can set to make the csc build step produce modules instead of assemblies?  And even if I achieved that, I need a list (viz. itemGroup) of the resulting module(s), so that I can feed that into the linker (either "csc /out" or "al /out /target").
Anyone done this before?  Pointers?

A: You can split out all of the data from the web.config into a seperate data file that can be encrypted.  Your web.config would look like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="system.web" type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebSectionGroup, System.Web, Version=%ASSEMBLY_VERSION%, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=%MICROSOFT_PUBLICKEY%">
            <section name="authentication" type="System.Web.Configuration.AuthenticationSection, System.Web, Version=2.0.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" />
            <!-- Other system.web sections -->
        </sectionGroup>
  </configSections>
  <system.web configSource="OtherFile.config"/>
</configuration>

You could then Encrypt the "Other File" so it can't be tampered with.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<system.web>
     <machineKey validationKey="D61B3C89CB33A2F1422FF158AFF7320E8DB8CB5CDA1742572A487D94018787EF42682B202B746511891C1BAF47F8D25C07F6C39A104696DB51F17C529AD3CABE"
       decryptionKey="FBF50941F22D6A3B229EA593F24C41203DA6837F1122EF17" />
   </system.web>

See MS documentation on Encrypting Section data:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dtkwfdky.aspx
It wouldn't be embedded, but obfuscated beyond human readable text.
Hope that helps!

What Your Insurance Company Is Going To Want To Know Following A Car Accident - Do You Qualify for Social Security Disability?
After you have been involved in an auto accident, you are going to need to contact your car insurance company immediately and let them know what happened. When you contact your insurance company, there is specific information that they are going to want to know. Here is a quick overview of what information you need to be prepared to tell them about.
The first thing that they may want to know about is the location of your vehicle. They need to know if your vehicle is still at the crash site, sitting in your driveway, or if it was towed away somewhere. This will allow your insurance company to know what steps they need to take next in regards to your vehicle.
For example, if your vehicle is located at the crash site, your insurance company may need to send out a tow truck and get it towed to one of their preferred body shops or a safe neutral site while you decide what you want to do with your vehicle. Or if your vehicle was towed by a city-owned tow vehicle and is currently being stored somewhere where you would be incurring daily storage fees, your insurance company could help you tow it to an auto body shop for repair.
Second, your insurance company is going to want to know how damaged your vehicle is. They are not expecting you do give a full, detailed analysis. They are just looking to get a general idea of the damage that you saw when you looked at your vehicle. They are going to want to know if you were able to drive your vehicle away from the accident site or if you were not able to drive your vehicle away from the accident.
For example, if you were not able to drive your vehicle or if you didn't feel safe driving your vehicle, your insurance company can help you get a rental vehicle. If you have rental vehicle coverage on your vehicle, your insurance company will pay for the rental. Even if you don't have rental vehicle coverage on your policy, your insurance company can help you obtain a rental vehicle at a discounted price.
Third, your insurance company is going to want to know if anyone was injured. This is where you are going to want to be careful. Do not tell your insurance company that you are fine if you are still seeking medical treatment. You don't want to reduce the chance that your insurance company will cover your injuries and medical treatment. Instead, let your insurance company know that you are continuing to seek medical care at this time. You don't have to provide a lot of details during your first phone conversation post-accident.
Finally, you can always ask your attorney to sit in on any phone call that you have with your insurance company to act as a witness to the conversation and to ensure that your interests are protected throughout the conversation.
Contact a firm like Law Offices of Burton J. Hass to ensure you are not being taken advantage of, by your insurance company or someone else's, and so you can seek proper compensation following an accident if necessary.

Colombia: Julian Esteban Law is a Social Victory
In July 2021, 13 year old Julián Esteban Gómez was struck by a truck and killed while cycling in Colombia. The tragedy has resulted in a new road safety law, named after Julian Esteban, with stronger regulation of road and infrastructure design, vehicle safety standards, driver licensing and data on injuries, and speed limits, including 50 km/h in urban areas and 30 km/h in residential areas and schools zones.
Public opinion was a significant factor in getting such far-reaching changes approved. Civil society played a key role in promoting and pressuring for the law, including Alliance member Fundación Liga Contra la Violencia Vial, as well as other NGOs including Despacio, LatinNCAP, and academia. "Our role was to mobilize public opinion and elevate the social value around the urgent need for Colombians to stop suffering deaths and injuries caused by road crashes," says Mary Bottagisio, Executive Director of Liga Contra la Violencia Vial. "In addition, we provided technical advice to the rapporteurs of the initiative and raised awareness among policy-makers about their responsibility to legislate on this public health problem."
In this regard, their role as NGOs was fundamental. There are several ways to contribute and, as it is the case of Colombia, the process was long but successful. NGOs were able to push the agenda, gain the public support of the population and raise awareness. They also found partners that drew media attention and identified and pursued a champion in the country, Senator Roy Barreras, who had extensive experience working on the Peace Process and the Law on Victims of the Armed Conflict in Colombia.
The new Colombian law is aligned with the Global Plan and the Safe System approach. It aims to guarantee the right to life, personal integrity and health of people, and establishes normative provisions to guide the design and implementation of the public policy on road safety under the Safe System approach. Mary says, "This is the first time that Colombia has adopted measures to influence all the components of the road system: environment, vehicles, people. This law stops attributing responsibility exclusively to road users: the reckless pedestrian, the reckless cyclist, the aggressive driver, and adopts measures to strengthen all layers of the road system." Mary concludes, "The Julian Esteban Law is a social victory, it is a victory by and for the citizens."
However, as with all laws, timely and effective implementation will be key. The Ministry of Transport, which is responsible for its implementation, has committed to present the regulations for the law's application within the first 100 days of the current government. At the same time, a new national road safety strategy has been launched and parliament is discussing another law to adhere to the 1958 UN Agreement on Vehicle Standards.
