| Did The Early Christians Of The First Century Believe That The Return Of Christ Was Imminent? | | 2008-07-17 14:02:00 | | One of the objections you will run into when you start sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with people goes something like this:"Well, the early Christians believed that Jesus would return in their lifetimes, and since He didn't, then Christianity must not be true".Now, those of us who know the Word of God know this is totally false.In fact, the Bible is VERY clear that Jesus would not return right away.Below is an article that contains a very good study of this topic. I would encourage you to visit the website posted below and read the full article:----(excerpt from the original article at http://www.aboundingjoy.com/Bible%20studies/imminency.htm )The Early Church Knew that the Lord’s Return was NOT ImminentThere is significant Biblical evidence that the early church had good reasons not to expect His imminent return. Of course, they had the same words of Jesus that we have! So anything He said that we might think refer to His imminent return could not have meant His imminent return | | By: Shattered Paradigm | | |

| | Hank to NL: Join the 21st century | | 2008-06-16 20:44:00 | | FROM NBC SPORTS:“My only message is simple. The National League needs to join the 21st century,” Steinbrenner said in Tampa, Fla. “They need to grow up and join the 21st century.''Am I (mad) about it? Yes,” Steinbrenner added. “I’ve got my pitchers running the bases, and one of them gets hurt. He’s going to be out. I don’t like that, and it’s about time they address it. That was a rule from the 1800s.”“This is always a concern of American League teams when their pitchers have to run the bases and they’re not used to doing it,” Steinbrenner said. “It’s not just us. It’s everybody. It probably should be a concern for National League owners, general managers and managers when their pitchers run the bases. Pitchers have enough to do without having to do that.” | | By: The Evil Empire | | |

Plato is considered first to realize that you are made of not only flesh but also an intellectual soul.The issue may be much older…In Greek Mythology, when gods created man, they endowed him with divinity. However, the man started challenging them. They feared his potentials and decided to deprive him of the might.“Where to hide the divinity?” was the big questionThey considered heights of icy mountains, limits of shining stars and pits of the earth. But every place was accessible to man’s capabilities.Then they decided to hide it within the man himself.Since then the man has been climbing icy mountains. He has navigated deep seas. He has traversed moon. His machines have even touched Mars. But he is still looking for his ‘lost paradise’.Man, it is inside you!They call it personality now.

Here’s a question; is it realistic to believe that consensus between nations can maintain order through a system in which states voluntarily abide by rules?

| | America and Globalization: Strategy for a New Century | | 2008-03-05 21:02:00 | | Tomorrow’s all-inclusive global strategy must, apart from the aforementioned challenges and promotions of democratic regimes, address the consequences of successful rampant globalization. When I look ahead, attempting to ascertain the likely challenges America will face in the coming century, I note another, not so apparent test for U.S. hegemony, as we know it, one that may not be as immediately critical as, for example, homeland security, or the war on terror.A world without terrorists and autocrats is desirable however, owing to an impending explosion of economic, population and income growth, global consumption, energy utilization, resource competition, unbound market activity and investment flows, as facilitated by the ‘G’ word, the United States will be compelled to focus on the bigger picture or face diminished relevance.The ‘G’ word my friends is globalization, that remarkable phenomenon born in the boardrooms of America’s Trans-national’s; that is was a concept | | By: American Interests | | |

| | | Jewelry from 3000 BC Egypt to the 21st Century | | 2007-11-17 02:57:06 | | Egypt The use of gold jewelry can be dated back to Egypt 3000 BC. Goldwas the preferred metal for jewelry making during ancient times. Itwas rare, it was easy to work with, and it never tarnished.Magnificent bracelets, pendants, necklaces, rings, armlets, earrings,collars, and head ornaments were all produced in ancient Egypt, theland of the Pharaohs.In 1922 Howard Carter's excavations led to the discovery ofTutankhamun's tomb and many gold artifacts, all showing the art workof ancient Egypt. Greece In ancient Greece, gold beads in the shape ofshells, flowers and beetles were very common. In Northern Greecebeautiful necklaces and earrings have been excavated from burial.By 300 BC the Greeks were using gems such as emeralds, garnets,amethysts and pearls. They also created colored glass stones andenamel stones. Carved agate cameos and gold filigree work were widelymade. Italy The Italian Etruscans produced granulated textured goldwork. They made very large, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Theywere also known for producing hollow gold pendants that were filledwith perfume. Even today the Italians are still known for the qualitygold jewelry.Rome The Romans used 18 and 24 carat gold for their coins. Coinagegold was readily available so it was popular with craftsmen fordecorative jewelry. Over 2000 years ago the Romans were usingsapphires, emeralds, garnets, and amber in their jewelry. EuropeDuring the 13th century the Medieval Sumptuary Laws were enacted whichput a cap on luxurious jewelry and clothing. The town folk of France,banned from wearing girdles made from pearls or any other gemstone.They were also banged from wearing gold or silver. Similar lawsexisted in England banning artisans from wearing gold and silver.These laws show how fine jewelry had spread beyond nobility to thetown folk.

I guess that is my little comfort zone.I saw this cute little Agave growing in a pot at Wave Hill. It only gets to 12 inches and is hardy to USDA Zone 7b. There used to be one in the conservatory at work but the person that takes care of the greenhouse watered it to death over the winter. I love the contrast of the green leaves and white stripes.

| | The New York Islanders Finally Embrace Blogs, 21st Century | | 2007-06-13 19:33:00 | | Does New York Islanders management read Avalanche blogs? Last week, in a comment on DLS-favorite JibbleScribbits, I wrote that NHL teams should build "blog boxes", separate from the traditional press box, to provide a space for bloggers to post in-game updates to their sites. Well, just seven days later, the Islanders have announced their plans to do just such a thing.Now, I don't want to take all the credit, but it's hard to argue that my single comment on a relatively small Colorado Avalanche blog didn't have some kind of profound effect on the executives of a major professional sports franchise in the largest US city. Obviously, the power I wield through Dear Lord Stanley is far greater than I ever imagined.With great power comes great responsibility, it is said, so with that in mind, I offer another suggestion for NHL teams to embrace in the coming seasons: Hot Chicks Rooms.

But to avoid any tussle with our bosses, we decided to keep it for our off day.One day break it would be, we decided. And the fact that it was the Valentine’s Day eve added the romantic element!Our decision to explore the Neemrana property at Alwar was the result of my husband’s hours of web search and then finally on instinct.The Neemrana Fort Palace was already booked and only a suite was available which was to cost something above 6000 per person per night. Well, that sounded little too extravagant.Our holiday plans almost got shelved when my better half discovered this another Neemrana property near Alwar. Another call to the Nizamuddin office of Neemrana and we found out that there’s a room available at the Hill Fort, Kesroli costing Rs 3,500.Again extensive Internet research and we found the fort palace quite attractive. The hotel phone lines were not reachable we didn’t want to make any advance booking at the head office.So after hours of discussion we finally planned to take the plunge and just embark on our journey in the morning, hoping to get the room.Off we went at sharp 5.

The huge blanket type shawl I decided to keep came quite handy as we wrapped ourselves in it.It was sensible not to stop anywhere but of course the driver had to have his tea break and we stopped at a shady looking place midway.

| | BBC Has Lost Tapes Of 21st Century's Defining Moment | | 2007-03-01 14:56:00 | | This post thanks to Infowars.net 9/11 coverage gone due to "cock up". Why is this not a world news headline? Steve Watson Infowars.net Wednesday, February 28, 2007 It has come to light this week that the most pre-eminent broadcasting company in the world has lost the original recordings of its output for the entire day on September 11th 2001, just over five years on, yet no major news agency has even bothered to report the fact. Despite being currently the biggest story on the internet and in the alternative media, the only place in the mainstream the story has appeared is on a small German news website. This highlights the fact that the mainstream media is not free to report events. The information it disseminates is strictly controlled and regulated. The BBC was forced into claiming that the recordings covering the 9/11 attacks have mysteriously vanished in response to fierce criticism over the fact that on the day the news agency reported that World Trade Center Building 7 had collapsed almost 30 minutes before it actually came down. Conspiracy or no conspiracy, surely the fact that the BBC has made this announcement should be reported. A cogent precedent can be found in the relatively recent furor over the loss of the moon landing tapes by NASA. This was reported in every major newspaper and on every major news website in the world for over a week when it came to light last August. The story then hit world headlines again when the tapes were found. In the eyes of the mainstream media the September 11th attacks in 2001, it seems, are not as important an event as the moon landing, which happened last century, 38 years ago to be precise. Therefore it is purely as a result of the persistence of the alternative media, and its audience, that regular BBC employees are now being deluged by e mails and calls asking them to divulge what their source was for reporting the collapse of Building 7 a full 26 minutes before it happened. The BBC editor's blog is currently carrying the following statement from Richard Porter, editor of BBC news: "We no longer have the original tapes of our 9/11 coverage (for reasons of cock-up, not conspiracy). So if someone has got a recording of our output, I'd love to get hold of it. We do have the tapes for our sister channel News 24, but they don't help clear up the issue one way or another." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to start your own blog or website, get the word out and support Alex Jones?

We don't sell the names of our customers to marketing firms or the government. Click here for more info.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The BBC is claiming that it cannot verify that it reported building 7 had collapsed too early because it no longer has its own tapes. Mr Porter then says he would love to get hold of a copy. Yet it is blatantly clear that he is writing about the copy of the BBC's output that kick started the entire controversy! So there he already has a copy, why can't he watch that? Even more incredibly he then goes on to declare that the News 24 footage, which the BBC DOES still have, fails to clear up the issue. This is patently false as we have today proven. Footage from the BBC's News 24 channel that shows the time stamp at 21:54 (4:54PM EST) when news of the Salomon Brothers Building is first broadcast, a full 26 minutes in advance of its collapse. You can view the footage here. Remember that both the official FEMA and the NIST reports on building 7 concluded that the building collapsed unexpectedly. So why is the BBC continually lying to us and attempting to cloud this controversy instead of explaining it? Even more remarkable is the fact that if the BBC maintains that its footage is indeed lost, this means that at least THREE copies have been lost from DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. The BBC's policy on retaining recordings of all television and radio broadcast outputs, last reviewed: 18/02/03 - which you can view online at the BBC's own website, clearly states: The following components to be retained:- · Two broadcast standard copies of all transmitted/published TV, Radio and BBCi output – one to be stored on a separate site as a master · One browse-quality version for research purposes, to protect the broadcast material · All supporting metadata to enable research and re-use · A selection of original (i.e. unedited) material for re-use/re-versioning purposes · Hardware/software/equipment to enable replay/transfer of the media Furthermore: "A retention schedule for each set of records kept /archived must be created as defined in the Core Records Policy. Retention periods are set according to the status and value of the record." This means that the safe retention of archived recordings is checked at regular intervals, and the more valuable they are deemed to be, the more frequently they are checked. And yet more: "All transmitted/published media content will be kept for at least five years to fulfil legal requirements and to enable re-versioning and re-use." This means that if the footage was "lost" prior to September 11th 2006 then the BBC has broken British broadcasting law. So all in all we have a situation here whereby the BBC is either lying when it says all records of its World output on 9/11 are gone, or the BBC has categorically failed to uphold its own policy, and UK law, and is dismissing this as merely a "cock up". This is not some two bit cable TV station, the BBC is paid for by every person in the UK and thus has a strict legal responsibility to uphold its written policies. If this was ever to be challenged legally would the editors of the BBC maintain as their defence that they "cocked it up"? That is simply not good enough. People that "cock up" at that level should no longer be in a job and should be explaining themselves in a court of law. We know for a fact that the BBC are very concerned about how this whole fiasco has impacted upon their reputation. Corporation chiefs are also worried that head of BBC World Richard Porter's brief response to the matter has only made them look worse. At this time Mr Porter is still ludicrously feigning ignorance and stupidity by suggesting that the BBC has been "accused of being in on the conspiracy". Whether they have lost the tapes or not, the BBC simply doesn't want to verify one hundred per cent their monumental foul-up, because they know it would only increase the exposure of this issue and lead to further questions. As a citizen of the UK and a BBC license payer I demand an explanation as to what has happened to at least three copies of BBC news footage of a moment in time that will define history. I want to know PRECISE DETAILS of when the tapes were last checked, how they could have simply vanished and who is ultimately responsible and so should all other UK residents. You can put these requests to the BBC here. My advice is to be succinct, to the point and polite. No more than two sentences are required. Furthermore, everyone who reads this article, whether British or American, should immediately contact their local and national media outlets and demand to know why they consider this huge story not to be newsworthy.Technorati Tags:911, September 11th 2001, 911 Truth, 911 Eyewitness, 911 ommissions, 911 demolition, United 93, Current Affairs, Terrorism, 911 truth movement, Illuminati, New World Order, 911 commission, 911 commission report, 9/11 truth canada, tyranny, Bush, Freedom, Cover Up, america, canada, World Trade Center, WTC, 911 Proof, Government | | By: Canada Wants 9/11 Truth | | |

| | Inside the Oven: A 19th Century (mini) Coffee Souffle | | 2006-08-01 10:00:00 | | Charles Elmé Francatelli was born in England of Italian parents and studied cookery in France. While his work history included employment from various English nobleman, his most prestigious employment was that of chief cook for Queen Victoria. Having written numerous cooking books, many of which have been routinely reprinted and remain currently available. My friend, Janet, who maintains The Old Foodie and the Companion to the Old Foodie, recently added a very intriguing collection of historic coffee recipes to her already large collection of historic recipes. While many of these coffee recipes may be primitive in method, none of them seemed impossible to attempt in the 21st century kitchen. And myself being quite the coffee fanatic, I decided that my first trip back into Janet's magical culinary history tour, would be an attempt of the recipe for Coffee Souffle, c.1867, from Charles Elmé Francatelli.
