Montana by Larry Watson
“My father stood for moral absolutism.” (by Dr Jennifer Minter, English Works)
Wes Hayden’s dilemma lies at the heart of Larry Watson’s novel, Montana 1948. Should Wes prosecute his admired brother, Frank, for his crime of assaulting the “squaws”? As a former sheriff, and one who bequeathed the role to his less-favourite son, Grandfather Julien Hayden believes that criminal proceedings would unnecessarily sully the family name. And besides, according to Julien, dallying with Indians should not be an indictable offence. However, Wes is intent on making Frank accountable for his criminal activities. If Julien demands loyalty from his son, Wes stands for honesty and integrity. To him, like Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, abiding by one’s conscience is the most important thing, but, as Atticus also discovers, there is a great deal at stake.
After using his power and influence in the community to hand the role of sheriff to Wes, Grandfather Hayden believes that family members should not be punished for their wrongdoings, especially those as trivial as assaulting the Indians on the reservation. Armed with his typically wild-west cowboy mentality, Julien believes that the gun empowers him (Wes refuses to carry one) and Julien is prepared to use their influence and trade off their good name to pervert the course of justice. As David states, even if they acted dishonourably they still had a “measure of respect that I didn’t have to earn.” “We were as close as aristocracy” as possible in the shire of Montana.
Despite Uncle Frank’s eminent credentials as war hero, doctor, and talented athlete, Wes is not prepared to extend protection to his brother. There are innuendos of Frank’s perversion swirling around town (“just the squaws though”), which is why their maid, Marie Little Soldier, hysterically refuses to see Frank when she is suffering from pneumonia. Marie Little Soldier was a Hunkpapa Wioux, originally from the Forth Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. She came to Bentrock when her mother married a Canadian who owned the bar, Frenchy’s. Marie’s mother symbolises the difficulties experienced by the Indians in pursuing their fundamental rights to dignity. She reminded David “of a bird who wants to be brave in the presence of humans but finally fails”.
David’s mother, Gail, explains to him that Marie doesn’t want to be examined by Frank because “your brother has molested Indian girls.” When Gail questions Wes as to why he so readily believes Marie’s accusation against Uncle Frank, he does not answer. David knows that this is because “my father knew him as well as any man or woman.” “And my father knew he was guilty.” Julian also knows that Frank has “always been partial to red meat”. Likewise, Bud exclaims: “I wouldn’t be surprised if there wasn’t some young ones out on the reservation that looked a lot like your brother”. Initially, the family hoped that the marriage to Gloria would “keep him off the reservation”.
Wes’s dilemma
Wes is committed to rule of law which sets him on a collision course with his father. Simply, his concept of the sheriff’s role differs from his father’s, who is prepared to exploit his position of power to secure an advantage. Wes cautions David at the end of the book, “Don’t blame Montana”. In other wordWes believes he must set an example for his family, especially David, and provide leadership and moral counsel in order to maintain the family’s respect. David knows that Frank is guilty and has committed murder. As Wes states, “I can’t let him loose. Not and live with myself.”
Wes is prepared to trade the family’s name for justice and places his own immediate family at risk. Julien sends in the cowboys to intimidate and release Frank. Gail protects the house through gunfire. Wes gives Davidt. “You don’t have to say anything. Just don’t answer the door.”
Through David’s narrative recount, Watson explores Wes’s attitudes towards Indians and his motives to pursue justice. Watson suggests that whilst Wes does not despise Indians (“he was not a hate-filled bigot”), he treats them with “low regard” and he seems to intuitively perpetuate stereotypes relating to their personalities and aptitudes. This is despite Wes’s own conscious attitude that he is “free of prejudice”. As David points out, Wes is of the opinion that the Indians are “ignorant, lazy, superstitious and irresponsible”. Later he suggests that Marie Solder is casual with the “truth” and is a natural storyteller. David suggests that the father is racist (“I first learned of his racism”) when he is given a pair of moccasins for his birthday. His father forbids him to wear them around the house because he will become “as flat-footed and lazy as an Indian”. (34) In an act of “belated” defiance, David later enjoys wearing the moccasins.
When Gail is determined to reveal the extent of Frank’s indecent behaviour, Wes uses the analogy of his own visit to the doctor as a child to suggest that as an Indian, Marieinappropriate health check. Not only are the Indians childlike in their attitudes, but, he implies,“poke” and “tickle” and a medical check-up. As Wes explains, as a child, “I knew it was part of the exam. But if I didn’t know and …”. Furthermore, Marie “likes to make up stories”.
Gail is incensed at the attempt to dismiss the gravity of the charges and raises her voice. She explains that Frank makes “some of his patients – ”. He also makes them “jump up and down while he watches”. He is “raping these women. These girls.” Insidiously, “he does what he wants to do”. (47) Watson uses italics to capture the mother’s rising intonation and her emphasis. This not only relates her indignation, but continues to make readers aware that David is listening at the door and is tuned into her tone. Furthermore, the interaction between David and his parents heightens the sense of secrecy surround Frank’s actions and reinforces the nature of the forbidden acts.
Watson emphasises David’s eavesdropping as he listens from outside about to hear “something you can’t unhear”. “Before everything changes.” He knows that the mother’s accusations will completely change his impression of Uncle Frank and signal his complete loss of innocence.
Seeing Marie Little Soldier naked signals the beginning of David’s journey from innocence to a knowledge of perversion. hat ‘charming, affable Uncle Frank was gone for good’.
David’s world becomes contaminated by Frank. When he meets Ms. Schott or Loretta Waterman, he feels an impulse to ask what Frank had done to them while he examined them. He frets that he will lose all the things he enjoyed about his grandparents, such as his special relationship with his horse, Nutty. Nutty is kept on his grandfather’s property and David worries that he won’t be allowed to see his horse again.
Montana Essays: Think about the Watson’s views and values and his intentions
This often occurs when groups seek to intimidate or threaten others, and when they seek to defend their powerful and territorial “rights”, often in violent ways.
Through the characterisation of Grandfather Hayden, Watson suggests that abuse of power is the biggest threat to justice. Julian has an intuitive sense that the office of sheriff is his natural right. He adopts the feeling that his name is synonymous with power, authority, status, and privilege.
Watson suggests that it takes courage to defend the rights of the victims, often against an outspoken majority, or against family members. It also takes courage to pursue justice when those in a position of powero improve your persuasive and reasoning skills and written expression, see The Language of Persuasion: become an expert.


I can not claim that any of these are mainstream trends. Nor do I really care. One trend I am enjoying, though, is the “Cauliflower is the New Kale” bandwagon. Cauliflower is very versatile and I feel like I am being inundated with all.things.cauliflower (so many pins!).
Continuing with my simple recipes (2013 trend), Indian-spiced (2012 curry trend) with this year’s cauliflower love, I present to you a fun cauliflower side dish. It actually reminds me of the dish I learned to love cauliflower (and convinced my parents as well!): Roasted Cauliflower with Dukkah. However, this recipe is a bit different in that you pre-cook your cauliflower (steam it, boil it, your choice), and sear it with freshly toasted cumin and coriander with almonds. Only then do you roast it. Because you have partially cooked it already, you don’t have to worry about burning your spices. The final cauliflower is a mix of textures from the crumbly almonds and coarsely ground spices. Finish it with a squirt of lemon juice and you have a well-balanced vegetable side. Just be careful not to eat the whole recipe at once.
What do you think about food trends? Happy to see cauliflower in the spotlight?

Käsekrainer (Cheese-Stuffed Sausage) & High Protein Vegan Cookbook Giveaway
In Favourites, Mains (Vegetarian) on February 25, 2014 at 7:22 AM
I have been meaning to review Hilda’s High Protein Vegan for a while. I bought it last year while exploring more protein-rich ideas (I thought it was a great deal, under $5 for a kindle version). Despite many people poo-pooing protein needs, I have long been a proponent of higher protein intake. This is especially important for active people (see my first rant here). With Carrie’s recent post about Fatigue and the Ex Vegan Phenomenon and Sayward’s older post about low cholesterol and protein on a vegan diet, both highlight the importance of proper nutrition. One needs adequate calories (including protein! and fat!) on a restrictive vegan diet which is naturally high in carbohydrates (see my review of vegan nutrition guides here). Why harp on protein? For me, it can be the most difficult to obtain on a vegan diet.
Eat beans and legumes. That includes tofu. Hilda’s book may be soy-free but soy is ok. Yes, there is protein in vegetables (spinach is almost 50% protein) but you have to eat a lot of vegetables for it to be a meaningful protein source. Whole grains, like quinoa, are ok, too. And when you want  a high protein boost, pick something like vital wheat gluten which is basically wheat protein powder.  Anyways, enough with the lecture, more about implementing high protein meals.
One of the paradoxes about eating vegan is that you explore new foods and increase your food options despite limiting meat and dairy consumption. I had never even heard of käsekrainer or a “kransky” before, let try alone a vegan version. Cheese-stuffed sausages are probably the antithesis of vegan eats but here is a vegan spin on it. An easy, flavourful steamed seitan is filled with a cashew cheese spread. I thought the cheese spread was absolutely delicious and was thrilled I had a bunch leftover. I don’t like nooch-heavy sauces but it was very well balanced. In fact, I preferred the cheese sauce before steaming as it lost its sharp, salty bite once in the sausage.
Certainly, I cannot vouch for its authenticity but I can tell you how it tastes: delicious. I shared it with Rob (who hadn’t had a kransky previously, either) who said it tasted 60% like sausage and 40% like cheese. It was 90% like cheese as the uncooked spread. With my recent infatuation with all things mustard, I thought it was perfect with a side of sauerkraut as well. (With a shout-out to this recipe that led me to finally making homemade sauerkraut successfully!!).
Hilda graciously allowed me to reproduce her recipe (it would have taken me so long to type up!) AND giveaway the cookbook to a reader ANYWHERE in the world! BOOYAH!  Please visit her blog and thank her! To be entered in the random draw for the cookbook, please leave a comment below telling me about your favourite vegan protein and how you like to prepare it. The winner will be selected at random on March 10, 2014. Good luck!
This is my submission to Ricki’s Weekend Wellness.
The week post-V-Day is always special for us because we celebrate Rob’s birthday and our anniversary, so I eventually made my planned dessert, too. Our stash of avocados were perfectly ripe and could I really ignore an excuse to try out a new coconut flour-based dessert?
PS. Here’s a shout-out to my Mom who got me a small off-set spatula. Which I totally used to frost the brownies. 🙂

Second of all, did you catch the recent posts all about beans? Like “5 Reasons You Shouldn’t Avoid Eating Beans” on Breaking Muscle?  Or Ginny’s recent post on The Vegan RD called “Plant Protein: Why Vegans Need Beans“?  Both are very well done posts about beans.  Bucking the paleo trend, Jeff points out common (or quite uncommon) misconceptions about beans and why you should be eating them. Ginny makes a great case why beans are the best source of protein that is relevant for vegans and non-vegans alike.
This is an absolutely delicious soup. However, there is an asterisk. It tastes good because you coax all the goodness out of each ingredient individually. Translation: it is a bit labour-intensive but so worth it.
Take the time to tend to this soup and you will not be disappointed. In fact, I recommend you double the recipe so that you can freeze your bounty.

The Power of Protein Timing
Sweet nothing: The real science behind sugar
This is my submission to Speedy Suppers.
After a few weeks of rest and recovery, I resumed my daily cycling commute this week. I also swapped my HIIT classes at the gym for weights. No impact and no balance required. Mostly upper body. My knees may be resting but I am certainly still keeping active. I don’t think my arms have ever worked so hard. Although while it would be nice to have a goal to do an unassisted pull-up (NOT happening anytime soon), I think a more realistic goal will be to be able to refill the water cooler at work without too much difficulty. I am a bad employee right now. If it is empty, I do not refill it. I can do it. I mean, I did it once, but it wasn’t pretty. More awkward than anything else but instead of potentially making a giant puddle, I am acknowledging and working within my limitations. 😉
So, please tell me: how was your Valentine’s Day? Do you refill the water cooler?? 🙂
Filled with veggies, this is a fun twist on chili, done raw-style. A hybrid of my raw chili dip and chili salad wraps, this is a fun high-raw hearty chili. Red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes spiced with chili powder, tamarind and cocoa powder (YES!) create a smooth sauce that coats more veggies and beans. I used cooked pinto beans to make this a filling dish (and in my experience, easier to digest than using sprouted beans).

South of the Border Tortilla Soup (& No Meat Athlete Review+Giveaway)

I am certainly no runner. Cycling is my sport of choice. However, his story echoes my own. While learning to best prepare my (formerly?) non-athletic self to cycle a double imperial century ride (361 km/224 mi), I discovered the benefits of vegan foods. I fell hard for the advantages of regular exercise (no pun intended on my knees). At the time, I cobbled together bits and pieces of my culinary and cycling journey through books mainly by Brendan Brazier with a shout-out for women’s cycling guides.
At the time, veganism was not mainstream (and is still not popular – only 2% call themselves vegan in the US) which makes this book perfect. This guide is perfect for the beginner: the beginner to vegan eats, the beginner to fuelling yourself as an athlete and the beginner to running (or any endurance sport).  Pick any of the three and you will glean something from Matt’s quest to inform himself to conquer his athletic goals. This is not to say that if you have any experience in any of these areas you will not gain more information, you might, or it may remind you to try new things, inspire you to run a marathon, or simply eat good food.
Nutrition aside, it must taste good, too, and these do not disappoint.

Raw Austrian Linzer Tarts
One thing my friends and family have heckled me about recently (not my knees, thank goodness), is my purchase of 25 lbs of coconut flour last year.
It may seem like I have a plan for most of my purchases, but not this one. Reading through a new cookbook with coconut flour recipes, I envisioned running through my coconut flour fairly quickly. And while I have been pretty good with making a few recipes with coconut flour, the recipes only use a small amount.
I did the math. I don’t think know I will not be able to finish all of my coconut flour before I leave Houston. That would be over a pound per week. No. Can. Do.
Instead, I am having a lot of fun experimenting. This dessert intrigued me as it asked for a lot of coconut flour compared to the nut flour. I wondered how it would bind together without dates or oil. I tried it out. And true enough, it did not stick together. It was dry as a bone. Natasha told me to have faith, it would clump if I pressed it really hard in my pie plate.
I pressed and pressed. And then gave up. Perhaps the secret was the refrigerator chilling. I opted to try remedy the recipe myself: I added more sweetener, some oil and lots of almond milk. Coconut flour is thirsty, give it some liquid! I added and added until I felt the batter come together. I pressed it into a 6″ springform pan (unpictured), topped it with the radacious raspberry puree and sprinkled more of the batter overtop.

Thank you for all your kind words about my knees. Thankfully I had friends and co-workers (AND ROB!) to help with my (on-going) recovery. Unlike my sister-in-law who is still driving herself to work (her [now confirmed] broken toe is on her non-driving foot), Rob has been driving me to work. Not that I couldn’t drive myself, but he is just that awesome.

I don’t know what is in the air. I assure you, it was not weather-related. No snow or ice around here.
Also sad is that I have not yet come up with a sexy story to explain my bilaterally braced knees. NOT MY BIKE, thankyouverymuch. In any case, each day is getting better.
I followed my mnemonic from medical school: RICE. Rest. Ice. Compression. Elevation. (Of course, after a free consultation from my trauma surgeon friend to confirm my suspicions nothing was broken). And of course: anti-inflammatories for pain management. Turns out there is a modified mnemonic for that inclusion: PRINCE, including P for protection and N for NSAIDs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. I like it!
Serendipitously, I also happened to make the perfect “anti-inflammatory” soup a few days before I went down. A warming soup filled with cabbage, mushrooms, garlic and tofu. Kimchi, pickled napa cabbage, added a lot of flavour. It was perfect to help me recover.
Anyways, this soup. Delicious. Not too spicy although this soup was a bit of a mystery to me. When I ate it right after making it, it was the perfect level of spice. I added the kimchi to taste, obviously. However, the soup was pretty bland as leftovers. The chiles had mellowed! To ramp the flavour back up, I added fresh kimchi to each subsequent serving. Definitely add to taste. Enjoy!

Preventing bad decisions by a surviving spouse. Do you really want him or her spending your hard-earned money on European vacations?What if your surviving spouse blows the money on shopping trips leaving your children with nothing?
I’m in tears. A bad haircut is one thing. That will grow back. But, a bad smile makeover?What do I do?I asked my dentist about porcelain veneers and he said he could do them. We did four veneers. They came back too bulky. I could tell that just by looking at them. He sent them back to the same lab, which surprised me. When they came back he didn’t let me peek at them first but did assure me he could make changes afterward, which wasn’t true. When he put them on they looked unnatural. Plus, even with the teeth whitening on the rest of the teeth the veneered teeth didn’t match the others. I’ve been calling the dentist to ask for a refund, but he isn’t returning my calls. Do you have any advice?


hide Stevens Point School Board unable to agree on President Monday
Tuesday, April 23, 2013 3:09 a.m. CDT
Stevens Point Area School District STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) - Division and trust problems among school board members led to a marathon meeting with little decided Monday night. The Stevens Point School Board tried to select their officers. After more than five hours and 24 ballots, they remained deadlocked and could not select a board president.
It wasn’t until after 11:00 p.m. that Renae Sheibley was selected as Vice President, but she resigned deciding she would rather be President. Neither Sheibley, Angel Faxon, or new board member Terry Rothman had the five required votes to win. Another complication is one of the nine board seats is vacant and needs to be appointed.
Late in the evening, board members began to say why they could not support some of their fellow board members in a leadership role. Renae Sheibley got that conversation going. “Since the bigger issue is, and we’ve all admitted it, is trust or whatever,sitting here and hashing out some of the things we’re concerned about, like what would your concerns be with me as president? What would my concerns be with Terry as president? Can we just talk about a few of them? I mean, there’s nothing you’re going to ask me that I’m not going to answer you honestly, so you might as well just ask me.”
Terry Rothman says he can’t support Scheibley as president. “I want a board president that’s for everybody, not just for a specific group. If you get elected president, you’re going to be leaning towards teachers and employees. We need somebody that’s for the whole thing, for the community.”
Angel Faxon is also looking for someone she can trust as board president. “The President has to learn not to talk poorly about other board members with other people in the community, because it gets back to us. Calling us names, unacceptable. You know, that’s that board ethics and conduct. You know, that’s not right.”
Just before midnight, the board again selected Scheibley as the Vice President, which she hinted she may resign from after they fill the open seat and select a President.
They meet again May 13th.

First responders wake up every day with the goal of keeping us safe. Firefighters rescue us from burning buildings. Police officers serve and protect. Paramedics and EMTs can literally save our lives. However, these amazing acts of courage don’t come without a price.
Oftentimes, first responders are among the first to witness a tragedy. Such a tragedy may include an active crime scene or even a gruesome death like a mass shooting. As a result, many first responders turn to substance abuse to cope with frequently seeing these horrific scenes.
First responders are under constant stress due to the nature of the job and long hours. They are trained to keep composed. However, they are human beings, and said stress can become physically and emotionally draining.
A 2018 SAMHSA study estimated thaTo emphasize the seriousness of this statistic, the general public experiences the same issues about 20%.
Due to this incredibly high statistic, first responders often self-medicate as a way of dealing with the life-threatening aspects of the job. In addition to the alcoholism and drug addiction that can develop, dual diagnosis – a mental illness coupled with a substance addiction – can creep from the shadows.
Sometimes our mood at work follows us home, and now our addiction begins to affect those we love, like our spouse or romantic partner. Our brain is more focused on our addiction rather than showing affection toward our loved ones. Sometimes we are aware of this, so we become isolated and ashamed of ourselves.
Because of the lack of intimacy, we (or our partner) may feel unloved and fear the relationship could come to an end. This fear can sometimes lead to violence.
However, a spouse can help by first understanding the struggles that their partner is experiencing. A spouse can even encourage them to seek addiction treatment, as the added pressure from the workplace or society might deter them from seeking help.
We understand that first responders help those in need, so we at Vanity want to help you. Our rehabilitation center offers a myriad of programs and addiction treatments to bring that spark of intimacy back into the relationship.
With our dual diagnosis treatment, our licensed professionals can give you the strength to send your dual diagnosis back into the shadows, and psychiatry can help keep it there.
The exceptional Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) here at Vanity takes place Monday – Friday from 9AM – 3:30PM. With our flexible schedule, we provide various therapies – individual, group, and trauma related – that offer the perfect opportunity to converse with others in a similar situation. More importantly, it’s a chance at strengthening the communication between you and your partner.
By taking advantage of our special program rooms, you can express yourself in the art room, or practice meditation and achieve inner peace with a yoga session. Remember, reducing stress is critical to avoid relapse.
Sober living welcomes couples so you and your romantic partner can go through the addiction recovery journey hand in hand, thus creating that intimacy you once shared.
Vanity Wellness has the utmost respect ford we treat them as such. Superman had his kryptonite, but he was a hero nonetheless.

I just started the ES6 lessons and I noticed that some of the variables are in all caps such as “MATH_CONSTANTS” on the “prevent object mutation” challenge. I have never heard of any reason for this and couldn’t find any when I googled it, so I’m assuming fCC was just trying to make it stand out for the lesson. But, it’s odd because they never did that on the other lessons. So, I just want to make sure.
Am I correct in assuming that its just to stand out for the lesson? Or are there certain types of variables that I should do this for?
Constant values that don’t ever change during the running of the program are often written in ALL_CAPS so it’s obvious what they are.
Like here, the estimated value for PI is never, ever going to change. It’s PI, it can’t be 10, it can’t be 2, it can only be 3.14, doesn’t matter what happens, that value must not be adjusted.
The convention comes from other languages. Some of those require constant values to be all-caps, but often it is just convention, good practice, so that they can be immediately differentiated from normal variables when someone is reading the code.
It was also explained in the basic javascript section in the challenge.
However, it is still a fairly new challenge I believe so you may have missed it getting added to the curriculum.
Oh. Okay. Thanks for the explanation.

"We can't afford to be patient with nobody," the manager said. "We come to the ballpark and talk about winning every day. Why wouldn't we want all of our players?I can't understand that. Yeah, I want him to get well, and he doesn't have to play until he gets well. If he goes to the All-Star Game, I'm happy for him. And that's good. But that's kind of how I look at it. I didn't sign on to this job to make things easy. I signed on to win."

Just as the likes of Sony and Samsung can't afford to standstill for fear of being caught by the field, Japanese plastic partner pioneer Orient Industry is equally keen on keeping ahead of the competition.The only difference being that Orient happens to have silicone rather than silicon inside its products that's all.
And with the Tokyo based company's dolls now being rented out to customers and used as hotel 'extras', not to mention those bought by individuals, a few fresh faces will no doubt help boost sales and increase the number of visitors to its showroom.
Meaning that those willing to make the journey will be able to feast their eyes on four new additions to the Candy Girl family. For starters there's the decidedly melancholy looking Miku.
And a similarly miserable Meg.
Then there's the rather thoughtful and ringlet sporting Rei.
With the last one being Kira, who looks like a kid. And not a very old one at that.
Yet despite some technological and texture related revisions, the price of a doll hasn't changed at all. Although at an average of 600,000 yen (4,900 dollars) each, it's perhaps just as well.
A link to Orient Industry's homepage can be found here, although it has to be said that venturing anywhere beyond the main page is definitely not safe for work. In fact, getting caught perusing some of the pages could result in some awkward conversations with concerned (and possibly disturbed) colleagues.
More safe for work images can be seen at dannychoo.com where this info originated.
Yeah, that last one does look disturbingly like a child.
They look like manga char… wtf. Anyway it's a nice work.
hey, so many japanese woman look like the last picture… yes… the smile is ugly of curse(like a british)…. in the real japanese woman (they are small and use hair cut like a child)
I've checked their site… despite the childish face, that doll has developed breasts. She is clearly an adult. Must say I'm disappointed! 😛
share things with me
Foda-se says
Muito gosotosa
copskiss says
Men just can't get enough. They will bang still objects or live. Wtf indeed.
On no uncertain terms, I think I am in Love with Kira. Child like, yes, but if you tell me you would not want to do her… then you are full of xxxx.


Ya know, at the same time we go page to page, I'm still wondering what jcheinrichs is doing through all of this.
I've gone through as many thoughts on that as the other thoughts brought out on this thread thus far. Ha.
He's either sitting back laughing, forgot he posted here, afraid to come back or wish he could have added the usual verbage to the title of this thread, but didn't dare.
I guess I'm the only one who's curious where jcheinrichs is ... Ho. :-?
Although these awaited fulfillment in Paul's day there is a measure in which they have all seen some fulfillment today.
e.g. as a matter of interpretation, the translators of the KJV believed the 'man of sin' was the Roman Catholic Church and the 'epistle dedicatory' enshrines this belief;...[u]man of sin[/u], as will not be healed...I am not saying that I agree with them but I can't say that they were wrong either; I just don't know.
Hia Ron, appreciate your reply.
I guess if we keep reading further into 2 thess 2, and do the cross-referencing, we see that this person is the antiChrist.
But as you said, we see that from not 'that' many years ago and backward, even our Commentators in e-sword, have this as the pope or Rome.
But one may be the false prophet, as some call it/him.
64? i thought you were older than that for some reason :-P i guess we do sometimes get lost in it all. then we lean to our own understanding as opposed to truly seeking the Lord for clarity on what's going on in relation to the end times etc. i say we seek the Lord and His will. i was watching a show on the history channel (i'm a buff) on the antichrist and i was quite surprised at who was listed among the potentials, henry kissinger? so evidently there's a lot of focus on this but little clarity as most conclusions are from men's wisdom.
I quoted the Epistle Dedicatory' without explanation. Many of the reformers (and others since) have regarded the 'Papacy as anti-christ'. It was not the 'man' (the pope) but the institution (papacy) which is foundational to the Roman Catholic Church.
Yes that's true Ron. Just a look into our e-sword commentaries have this belief because of the persecution of Protestants ... understandable.
But that there is one coming, who will be a "he", is in The Word and earliest of the early church fathers.
That man of perdition is yet to make his grand debute.
The sooner that all comes about, the sooner we'll be able to count on Christ's Return.
Our Blessed Hope. Amen, that no one can rob us of.
The 'earliest of the early church fathers' were writing well before the [url=http://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/history/papacy.htm]Development of the Papacy.[/url]The doctrine of the supremacy of the pope finally reached its height in the late 13th century, when Pope Boniface VIII claimed full religious and secular authority over every human being.
if the number is symbolic, then shouldn't the mentioned tribe also be symbolic? it seems a little weird to me to have 12000 as being symbolic and yet the mentioned tribe being real :-? also it seems to me that whatever is symbolic is said to be so and the explanation for what it is is given like the 7 stars and candlesticksI think the point is, HE didn't intend the symbology to remain unsolved by those who would live through that time.
He spoke in parables, He said, to hide wisdom from the proud, basically, but understanding was intended for the humble or his true Disciples that followed Him.
We believe the Lamb is symbolic, because as we read further, we see the Lamb for Who is He, by "what is written". By hermenuetics.
The same with Rev. 13 or The Revelation as a whole actually. That when pieced together with Dan, and other O.T. Prophets, Matt, Mark, Luke, Thess., Peter ... give us the theme of a world power and one who will one day rule over it and so forth. He said, "Behold, I have told you 'all' things."
Paul said, "I would not have you to be ignorant" and also both he and Peter make statement along those lines, that we have been adequately educated on what is to come.
Something Jesus always stressed, that He wanted us to know, be conscious of, to watch and to be wise during.
There can be great confidence that He will apokalupto the whole of it to us, as we go along. And that is what He's promised and even now is doing.
We've got one foot into this Book already, so the "unveiling" has begun, to those who's eyes are anxious and believing to see, without pre-held preferences of belief. The more child like the faith and anticipation of "His" plans (not ours) the more apokalupto.
If we're willing to go through it, He'll definitely be faithful to show us the steps ahead of us ... before they come. That's a promise of His.
He'll never leave us in the dark. Never ever.

Serendipity Arts Festival: Rahaab Allana's Look, Stranger!
Home / Culture / Questions of identity and belonging with Rahaab Allana's 'Look, Stranger!'
At a time when art is steadily and surely transcending norms to no longer remain contained in labelled boxes — or, in this case, sections of the art gallery — Rahaab Allana's transmedia exhibition titled 'Look, Stranger!
So after my studio visits, I found four thematic strains that were kind of predominant in the artworks that were being generated that bring together questions of gender, location and it does that not along geographic timelines but through conceptual timelines. All of these things were then brought together under a thematic title — 'Look, Stranger!

It was only after a tedious but dutiful hour with the black-coated treasurer discussing finances, donations, and gifts that Callandra encountered one of the other governors, the one of whom Mrs. Flaherty had spoken so approvingly, Lady Ross Gilbert. Callandra was on the landing at the top of the stairs when Berenice Ross Gilbert caught up with her. She was a tall woman who moved with a kind of elegance and ease which made even the most ordinary clothes seem as if they must be in the height of fashion. Today she wore a gown with a waist deeply pointed at the front and a soft green muslin skirt with three huge flounces, scattered randomly with embroidered flowers. It flattered her reddish hair and pale complexion, and her face with its heavy-lidded eyes and rather undershot jaw was extremely handsome in its own way.
"Good morning, Callandra," she said with a smile, swinging her skirts around the newel post and starting down the stairs beside her. "I hear you had a slight difference with Mrs. Flaherty earlier today." She pulled a face expressive of amused resignation. "I should forget Miss Nightingale if I were you. She is something of a romantic, and her ideas hardly apply to us."
"I didn't mention Miss Nightingale," Callandra replied, going down beside her. "I simply said I did not wish to lecture the nurses on honesty and sobriety."
Berenice laughed abruptly. "It would be a complete waste of your time, my dear. The only difference it would produce would be to make Mrs. Flaherty feel justified that she made an attempt."
"Has she not asked you to do it?" Callandra asked curiously.
"But of course. And I daresay I shall agree, and then say what I wish when the time comes."
"She will not forgive you," Callandra warned. "Mrs. Flaherty forgives nothing. By the way, what do you want to say?"
"I really don't know," Berenice replied airily. "Nothing as fiercely as you do."
They came to the bottom of the stairs.
"Really, my dear, you know you have no hope of getting people to keep windows open in this climate. They would freeze to death. Even in the Indies, you know, we kept the night air out. It isn't healthy, warm as it is."
"That is rather different," Callandra argued. "They have all manner of fevers out there."
"We have cholera, typhoid, and smallpox here," Berenice pointed out. "There was a serious outbreak of cholera near here only five years ago, which argues my point. One should keep the windows closed, in the sickroom especially."
They began to walk along the corridor.
"How long did you live in the Indies?" Callandra asked. "Where was it, Jamaica?"
"Oh, fifteen years," Berenice answered. "Yes, Jamaica most of the time. My family had plantations there. A very agreeable life." She shrugged her elegant shoulders. "But tedious when one longs for society and the excitement of London. It is the same people week after week. After a time one feels one has met everyone of any significance and heard everything they have to say."
They had reached a turn in the corridor and Berenice seemed to intend going into a ward to the left. Callandra wished to find Kristian Beck and thought it most likely that at this time of day he would be in his own rooms, where he studied, saw patients, and kept his books and papers, and that lay to the right.
"It must have been a wrench for you to leave, all the same," she said without real interest. "England would be very different, and you would miss your family."
Berenice smiled. "There was not so much to leave by the time I came away. Plantations are no longer the profitable places they used to be. I can remember going to the slave market in Kingston when I was a child, but of course slaving is illegal now and has been for years." She brushed her hand over her huge skirts, knocking off a piece of loose thread that cling to the cloth.
With that she laughed a little dryly and walked away along the corridor, leaving Callandra to go the other way toward Kristian Beck's rooms. Suddenly she was nervous, her hands hot, her tongue clumsy. This was ridiculous. She was a middle-aged widow, of no glamour at all, going to call upon a busy doctor, nothing more, nothing of any other meaning.
She knocked on the door abruptly.
"Come in." His voice was startlingly deep and touched by an almost imperceptible trace of accent she could not place. It was mid-European, but from which country she did not know, and had not asked him.
She turned the handle and pushed the door open.
He was standing at the table in front of the window, papers spread out in front of him, and he looked around to see who it was who had come in. He was not a tall man but there was a sense of power in him, both physical and emotional. His face was dominated by dark eyes that were of a beautiful shape and a mouth both sensual and humorous. His expression of preoccupation vanished when he saw her and was replaced immediately with one of pleasure.
"Lady Callandra. How good to see you again. I hope your?"
"Nothing new." She closed the door behind her. Before she came she had formulated a good excuse for being here, but now the words escaped her. "I have been trying to prevail upon Sir Herbert to have the nurses cover the slop pails," she said rather too quickly. "But I don't think he sees much purpose to it. He was on his way to the operating theater, and I had the feeling his mind was on his patient."
"So you are going to persuade me instead?" His smile was sudden and wide. "I have never yet found above two or three nurses in the hospital who can remember an order for more than a day at a time, never mind carrying it out. The poor souls are harried from every quarter, hungry half the time and drunk the other half." His smile vanished again. "They do their best according to their lights, for the most part."
His eyes lit with enthusiasm and he leaned against the table, engaging her attention. "You know, I have been reading the most interesting paper. This doctor, sailing from the Indies home to England, contracted a fever and treated himself by going out on deck at night, stripped of his clothes, and taking a cold shower with buckets of seawater. Can you believe that?" He was watching her, searching the expression in her eyes. "It relieved his symptoms marvelously and he slept well and was restored by morning. Then in the evening his fever returned and he treated it the same way, and was again restored. Each time the attack was slighter, and by the time the ship docked he was fully himself."
She was astounded, but his eagerness carried her along.
"Can you imagine Mrs. Flaherty if you tried drenching your patients with buckets of cold water?" She tried not to laugh but her voice was shaking, not so much with amusement as with nervousness. "I cannot even persuade her to open the windows in the sunlight let alone at night!"
"I know," he said quickly. "I know, but we are making new discoveries every year." He grasped the chair between them and turned it so it was convenient for her to sit, but she ignored it. "I've just been reading a paper by Carl Vierordt on counting human blood corpuscles." He moved closer to her in his keenness. "He has devised a way, can you imagine that?" He held up the paper as he said it, his eyes alight. "With this kind of precision, think what we might learn!" He offered her the paper as if he would share with her his pleasure.
She took it, smiling in spite of herself and meeting his gaze.
Obediently she looked down at the paper. It was in German. He saw her confusion, "Oh, I'm sorry." A faint pink flushed up his cheeks. "I find I speak with you so easily, I forget you do not read German. Shall I tell you what it says?" He so obviously wanted to that it was impossible to deny him, even had she thought of it.
"Please do," she encouraged. "It sounds a most desirable treatment."
He looked surprised. "Do you think so? I should hate to be drenched with buckets of cold water."

They might have had experience with a small firewall environment, but enterprise concepts such as global policies, partitioning global policies, firewall groups, debugging MDS, MLM logging, MDS migration, CMA migration, command line basics, backups, and restores are all mentioned in the literaturneeded to master these concepts.
