Another objection to the truth of predestination is that it precludes the use of God-ordained means. The objection arises from a wrong inference, inferring that predestination means that something is bound to happen entirely apart from any means. Some, then, think that there are people who will be saved although remaining utterly ignorant of the gospel, never see a Bible, never hear a preacher of the Word, nor ever hear the name of Christ. The objection would be to the point if it were made, not to the Reformed doctrine of predestination, but to that strange conception of predestination which ordains ends without any regard to means. Then the objection would be legitimately leveled against a Mohammedanized predestination, which would be fatalistic and Deistic. For this strange predestination assumes that God fulfils His purposes without the use of instrumental means and secondary agencies. God, indeed, has chosen His elect, not on the foresight of their faith, but to faith, to salvation, andto every saving good. But it still remains that God from the beginning hath so chosen you “through (and not apart from) sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth” (II Thess. 2:13). So that sanctification of life and faith are not conditions to be met for the realization of salvation, but are a very part of the chosen-to salvation. Salvation has its beginning in regeneration, its continuance in faith and sanctification of life, and its end in glorification.
God ordained, to save His people by means of faith and sanctification. To say that the elect will be saved absolutely without the use of means is absurdly impossible. We are not thinking of man’s means, but God’s means, the means He has ordained and commanded to be used. Abraham was ordained to be the father of many nations. Was he so ordained without the use of means? To say so, would be like saying he would be, even if he had died in infancy. Hezekiah was ordained to live fifteen extra years, but could he have so lived without food or sleep? The decree of God was revealed to Joshua that he-would conquer Jericho, but could this have been realized if Israel had sat down under their own fig tree with folded arms? God had also ordained how the city was to be taken.
There are the heathen. Some of them God has ordained from all eternity to life and salvation. He has ordained that some of them shall call upon the name of the Lord. They have never heard the name of the Lord. But they shall hear it and call upon His name, and “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:13). They really cannot call on one they do not know or believe. For “how . . . shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they be sent?” (10:14f, ASV). God does deign to use the agency of human instruments, as preachers, and the preaching of the gospel, unto the salvation of His elect people. Does this make salvation dependent upon man? Not when it is all dependent upon His furnishing, setting forth, using and blessing, the means!
Arminian resistance to this truth appeals to certain Scripture passages which are imagined to be opposed to it, passages such as, Prov. 1:24, 25; Isa. 65:2and Matt. 23:37. The last mentioned reads, “O Jerusalem! Jerusalem! thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!” This outcry of Christ’s is said to be incompatible with Calvinism’s (and therefore Scripture’s) irresistible grace, since it teaches plainly that the will of God can be resisted and the desire of Christ (God!) can be frustrated. Such reasoning flies in the face of what is the heart of Scripture truth, that God is God. Prove that the decrees of God can fail, and there is proof that God is not God. There you have the central error of Arminian thinking. On this passage John Gill wrote, ” . . . this Scripture . . . they are ready to produce on every occasion against the doctrines of election and reprobation, particular redemption, and the irresistible power of God in conversion; and in favor of sufficient grace and of free will and power in man. . .” Notice what Christ in these words does not say. He does not say, How often I would have gathered you, and ye would not. Nor, I would have gathered thy children, andthey would not. He said, “I would have gathered thychildren, and ye would not.” The Lord does not teach here that it was His purpose to gather all mankind without exception, nor that He wanted to convert persons who would not be converted. We have here two wills, the will of Christ and the will of man. Christ wills Yes. Man wills No. Christ says, I would. Man says, I would not. The question is, which of these two wills shall have its way? for one or the other must be sovereign. Either “I would” must win out, and then “thy children” must be gathered, or “ye would not” must win out, and then they cannot be gathered. When the Lord says, “I would,” can man’s “I will not” stop Him? “Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did He!”
Doctrinal preaching has all but died out in this generation. Even where the Heidleberg Catechism is still read from the pulpit, it is often used only as a springboard to digress into anecdotal orations. The Word of God, by its very nature, demands preaching that is both doctrinal and practical. The Belgic Confession is doctrinal in emphasis. The Heidelberg Catechism is personal and practical in emphasis. Where the Heidelberg Catechism is still faithfully studied and used there can really be no valid claim that we need more experiential preaching, and not so much dry doctrine. Sometimes you hear it said, “More of Christ, not theology,” which presents, really, a foolish, dangerous outlook. There is no way to test practical preaching, as to whether it is sound, if it be divorced from the doctrine contained in Scripture. Without that doctrine, where is the standard of judgment? The “Christ,-not-doctrine” philosophy is impossible. Christ cannot be known, understood, recognized nor received unless He is preached. Without doctrine He cannot be preached.
Why is the great truth of election almost exclusively omitted from the pulpits in the land? One reason is because of ministerial laziness. Most ministers do not care to spend much time in the study. When you discover the long list of Communist-front connections some “ministers” have had, you know they rarely, if ever, made use of the study in the work of the church and of the gospel. Real study is physically and mentally taxing. It takes much more painful effort to prepare a series of sermons on the doctrine of the church than to present addresses on prayer, missions, and ecumenism. Sound expositional preaching requires intensive study of Scripture and hours of perusal of the older biblical works. Many ministers, if they do put in as much as eight hours a day of work, spend it in visiting, in laboring for the advancement of Socialism, and in “concentrating”—on the golf course. They know nothing of “Give attendance to reading . . . take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine: continue in them” (I Tim. 4:13, 16).
Another reason why predestination, and preaching in harmony with this great heart-truth, is absent from so many pulpits is because of a love for popularity. A preacher, so enamored, aims to please his auditors. He will preach only to crowded audiences. He intends to conform to public opinion, because he would rather hear, “Welcome to the club!” than to overhear the remark after sermon, “What can he possibly be talkingabout?” To borrow from Bunyan: although he goes by another name, he is a Rev. By-Ends. He is from the town of Fair-Speech, a pagan cultural center. The two-faced Janus is worshipped there. His family tree bears such twigs as Mr. Smoothsayer and Mr. Anything. He is a favorite with the young people, somewhat of a sportsman, a sculler, proficient at looking one way and rowing another. The minister in his hometown was a Dr. Two-Tongues. From him he soon learned the art of using two tongues with one mouth. He made a fortune as a result of his socially acceptable marriage into the long-standing family of the Feignings. Before every church service he dials the weather bureau. He must always know which way the wind is blowing. For he never preaches against wind and tide. He always sculls with the current and down the center channel. He is a very warm pulpit orator whenever Religion goes in his silver slippers. He is often seen walking with Religion on the avenue when the sun is shining, and, during parade, riding his float, when the people are applauding him. He was able to build a struggling church into a thriving cathedral with a great following, because, as he humbly puts it, he always had the luck to jump in with the present way of the times, whatever it was, took his chances, and came out tops. Ask him why he never finds time to preach the truth of election, and he will inform you that he could easily prepare a sermon on the subject fifteen minutes before retiring on Saturday night, but that at the only, and eleven o’clock, service his people would not know what he was talking about. Besides, he adds, “I shall never desert my old principles, since they are harmless and profitable.” By this he means that for the question posed he cannot stand the sight of you, and must hurry off to those who will be honored by his presence and glad of his company. If you should call after him the word of the inspired apostle, “For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ” (Gal. 1:10), he will retort, quickening his pace, that he is used to all manner of evil speaking against him falsely, for Christ’s sake. One thing he never learned, either from his finished education or his fashionable connections,—the difference between suffering as a Christian and being a scandal to the very name of Christianity! Nor can he honestly say, “I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God . . . Wherefore . . . I am pure from the blood of all men” (Acts 20:20, 27, 26).


The articles are of archaeological, historical and museological interest and are mainly related to the region of Banat, although some deal with Romanian and universal history as well
Jan. 1, 2013
Currently, the gun collection of the Banat Museum in Timişoara holds 16 items that can be classified as hunting
rifles, all of them being inventoried in the registers of the History Department.
Chronologically speaking, the hunting rifles held by the museum’s collection can be dated between the 18th
century and the late 19th century. e most ancient piece is a flintlock rifle dating from the second half of the 18th
century, followed by six percussion guns built during the first half of the 19th century. e museum’s collection
holds a Berenger system hunting rifle, a Flobert type weapon and a Tabatiére system gun – exhibits that can be
dated from the second half of the 19th century. A Hammerless double-barreled shotgun comes from the second half
of the 19th century. Also, the collection contains three sporting rifles dated from the first half of the 19th century
and two compressed air guns, one coming from the beginning of the 19th century and the other one dating from
the mid – 19th century.
Concerning the manufacturing workshop of these hunting rifles held by the museum’s collection from
Timişoara, it should be noted that only some of these pieces display various inscriptions or badges of the armourers.
More accurately, nine of the guns exhibit the names of the armourers and the manufacturing site inscribed on
the barrels or the mechanism. e name of the Viennese armourer Johann Fruwirth is displayed on two of the
guns. Both weapons are inscribed with the manufacturing site, the city of Vienna. e mechanism of the most
beautiful gun of the collection is inscribed with the name of the Vienese armourer Johann Baptist Strixner. One of
the sporting rifles was manufactured by Johann Peter from Weiskirchen. A double-barreled percussion gun comes
from St. Etienne. One of the two compressed air guns, held by the collection, was manufactured by G. Leute,
an armourer from Munich. Another weapon from the collection bears an inscription with the name of Johann
Peterlongo, the founder of the “Tiroler Waffenfabrik” factory from Innsbruck. e Tabatiére gun – the commercial
version – was manufactured in Liege, Belgium. e last detected workshop belongs to G. Teschner from Frankfurt,
which produced the Hammerless gun. In conclusion, we may assert that the vast majority of the hunting rifles
identified in the collection of the Banat Museum were manufactured in the Central European workshops.
As to the ornaments and embellishments displayed by the collection from Timișoara, it should be mentioned
the fact that the most beautiful exhibits are the guns dating from the first half of the 19th century. Two of them,
manufactured by the Vienese armourers Johann Fruwirth and J.B. Strixner, bear highly rich embellishment
displayed on the barrels and mechanism as well as on the wooden part of the weapon. Both exhibits are engraved
with floral and vegetal motifs, carved with stylized vegetal and zoomorphic motifs, inlaid with multiple pearl and
brass elements. e other guns from the collection are less decorated, most of them bearing engravings, grooves
As regards the history of the hunting rifles up until now we know the origin of only six of the 16 items
submitted in the present article. ree of the six weapons mentioned above became part of the collection during
the pre-war period, one of the guns was donated during the first half of the 20th century, while the last two were
also donated during the 7th and the 8th decades of the last century.
As a conclusion, we acknowledge the fact that the present hunting rifle collection represents a very interesting
set, due to the diversity of the existing models but also to some of the exhibits’ rarity, among the Romanian
borders, as the example of the Girardoni compressed air gun.

If Joe Biden does reach the White House his administration will launch an assault on gun manufacturers that could ultimately put them out of business, Second Amendment advocates say.
Biden favors repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce In Arms Act, in which firearms dealers and manufacturers are given legal protection against lawsuits that may result from the misuse of weapons or ammunition sold to the public.
If a Biden administration does repeal the act, firearms dealers and sellers would instantly become vulnerable to wrongful death and injury lawsuits that target the weapon, rather than the perpetrator, senior vice president of the Gun Owners of America Erich Pratt told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a report published on Nov. 24.
“[Biden’s plan] means that gun manufacturers could ultimately be put out of business through frivolous lawsuits,” Pratt said. “It’s totally irresponsible, imagine holding Ford or GM responsible for the damage caused by hit-and-run drivers. We wouldn’t tolerate that and yet that’s exactly the type of legal theory they’re trying to put on gun manufacturers.”
The plan would become immediately possible if Democrats were to win the runoff Senate elections in Georgia, giving Democrats control of both the House and Senate.
“The idea of the Left would be ‘oh sure you can have a Second Amendment right, too bad you just can’t find any guns that are being produced and manufactured,’ ” Pratt said.
Kevin Jamison, a Missouri self-defense lawyer and firearms trainer, said: “If they destroy enough companies or force them to adopt their rules of procedure then there will be no place to buy guns and that’s what they’re looking for. They want to make it as expensive to own a gun as humanly possible — and as difficult. If they get even part of their wish list, they won.”
After it was sued by the families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting, Remington Arms Company went bankrupt. Remington has been producing firearms since 1816. The Sand Hook shooter used a Bushmaster, a sub-company of Remington, AR-15 during the shooting, Fox Business reported.
The families argued that the Bushmaster XM15-E2X “posed an unreasonable and egregious risk of physical risk to others” and insisted that the 200-year-old gun company was negligent in selling the weapon to civilians, according to WBUR.
Americans will be seeing “more” of these lawsuits, Pratt said, adding that Remington’s bankruptcy “was the desired intent” of the legal procedure.
Outdoor retail giant Cabela’s was sued in early November for selling ammunition to a 19-year-old who accidentally killed a friend with a handgun, The Buffalo News reported.
Jamison said: “The guys pushing these lawsuits, they don’t care if they win. They care if they can force these companies to hemorrhage money. They are in the business of putting gun companies out of business.”
“They’ve gotten away with it because the courts have indulged these absurd theories of law,” Jamison said. “It’s a disaster. It has been very bad the last few years, yes, but it’s going to be the death of mom and pop and gun shops — individually-owned gun shops — and some of these companies.”

This action, mystery, and investigation genre film Hit & Run Squad will not make you regret it when you watch it. Looking at the rows of actors and actresses, we already have big expectations.
The concept of this film is the first in Korea. Car racing. Scene racing on the racing circuit and the highway looks good and cool. Satisfy our eyes. Of course the Korean people feel proud of the quality of this film. Games Online dan Offline
Once upon a time Shi Yeon (Gong Hyo Jin) was investigating a corruption case involving Jeong Jae Cheol (Jo Jung Suk), a former formula racer who turned into a businessman. But Shi Yeon failed to get enough evidence so he was transferred to the hit-and-run division. There he collaborates with Seo Jin Jae (Ryu Jun Yeol), a young police officer who has strong instincts and understands the automotive world well. Seo Jin Jae who did not work according to the procedure deliberately urged Jeong Jae Cheol over a hit-and-run case that has not been solved until now. He was sure Jeong Jae Cheol knew about the case. Seo Jin Jae’s suspicion is precisely what prompted Shi Yeon to find the key to the Jeong Jae Cheol corruption case with a high-ranking police officer.
This is the first time Jo Jung Suk has played a stuttering antagonist. Honestly, his acting is very satisfying. No wonder he repeatedly won awards. When he was about to speak, Jeong Jae Cheol’s character seemed both choked and emotional. It is not the type of comedic stuttering that will make us laugh but the stutter that makes us shudder. Jo Jung Suk looks so annoying especially with his childlike behavior. He played the figure of Jeong Jae Cheol who was hungry for money and power hungry well although this character development felt raw.
Ryu Jun Yeol also plays the character very well. At first he looks innocent and stupid but apparently has a brilliant side. Seo Jin Jae’s character gets good character development here. The reason why he understands the automated world is why he is good at reckless driving also gets a good explanation. Seo Jin Jae is a very human figure. It is a picture that humans can get karma, can change from sinful to become prospective inhabitants of heaven. It’s just that when it reaches a good point, the script writer becomes too polished so that the humane and realistic foundation of Seo Jin Jae collapses. Ryu Jun Yeol’s acting was unable to save the unrealistic image of Seo Jin Jae who had crashed but did not die either.
The film uses a lot of actresses as “hero” actors, but unfortunately these female characters don’t show much in their teeth. Still, the film focuses on two men. Though Gong Hyo Jin should have been able to give a different touch given her acting is not playing well. In other film and drama projects, Gong Hyo Jin always managed to leave an impression.
But we need to appreciate the good plot twist at the end of the film. Although this kind of story plot is almost stale used in films with the theme of the police, the acting of the main characters is quite helpful. The subplot of the child’s father relationship in the middle of the film is a bit annoying because it seems to make this film turn into a melodrama. But take it easy, this film can still be enjoyed and become its own entertainment. Especially if the three main actors are idols, those who watch will like it.

I think I know what sort of album Mark Newman wants to record. His new EP, Brussels, is a near-perfect expression of his aims. This acoustic “one-off” released to document particularly impressive live performances from a Belgian venue has no clear intentions of being a major work, but it has an unmistakably tidy vision. This is music intended to have a depth penetrating past the world’s chatter, but never plumbing too far and disappearing up one’s own backside. It has jagged corners and coarse surfaces, but not so sharp or abrasive that you turn away. This is blues for the middle, offering up a few token thrills, maybe one surprise, but never staying too far from its baselines.
“Mean Season” illustrates this perfectly. The biggest redeeming feature of this track is Newman’s always dazzling slide guitar work that rarely contents itself with the basics. Instead, he attacks the strings with a sense of the possible and draws out an assortment of interesting sounds from the instrument. “Goin’ Underground” makes a similar impression, but the contrast between the song’s energetic verses and its boilerplate chorus undermines the track. Newman hasn’t spent much of his professional career holding down a front man spot, but his authoritative vocals belie the fact. He brings equal parts grit and strength to the singing here and it helps elevate the song when the craft, perhaps, disappoints the listener.
Newman surprises with a cover of The Bee Gees’ early hit, “New York Mining Disaster, 1941”. He turns the original’s jangling electric folk into a stylish acoustic blues and it gives the track a distinctly mournful air. Newman delivers the album’s best vocal here – he completely inhabits this portrait in miniature and conveys weariness well. “So, So Cynical” is another memorable slide guitar workout, but the songwriting is more competent than inspired. Newman, in particular, struggles with providing memorable choruses and the deficiency harms this song. Tracks like this, ultimately, play like riffs on a blues theme rather than fully realized works and require muscular backing to give them shape. Between Newman’s scintillating slide work and vocal melody, there’s a discernible groove, but no band to pull it off. Newman’s emotive vocals carry the day on the EP’s closer, “Must Be a Pony”, but his largely traditional guitar accompaniment isn’t enough to give this the impact an ending deserves.
Brussels, overall, is a satisfying reminder that many top-notch musicians still ply their trade with blues music and will dependably entertain its target audience. It is a shame, however, that these aren’t songs that will stick around long. Slack songwriting and cliche occasionally undermine the performances, but never entirely wreck the project.

TOPEKA — Phill Kline returns to Kansas today to answer allegations that he misled judges and mishandled evidence in his dogged pursuit of abortion clinics.
Hanging in the balance is Kline’s reputation, his law license and the final verdict on his long investigation of Planned Parenthood and Wichita abortion provider George Tiller, who was slain in 2009.
Kline, a Republican and former attorney general and Johnson County district attorney, now teaches law at Liberty University in Virginia. His Kansas law license is inactive, but a finding that he violated his professional ethics could make it more difficult for him to join the bar in another state.
Kline last week declined to publicly discuss the case against him. So did his attorneys and a publicist representing him.
But Kline has no shortage of vocal defenders. Anti-abortion groups such as Kansans for Life and Operation Rescue contend the hearings are an attempt to tarnish Kline’s work and protect abortion providers from prosecution.
Mary Kay Culp, director of Kansans for Life, said she wished the courts were as concerned about the criminal allegations raised by Kline as they are about the ethics accusations facing him.
“If this were any other man, if this were any other issue, I don’t think this would be happening,” Culp said of today’s hearings.
A panel of three lawyers will sit in judgment of Kline. Seven days have been set aside for the hearing, which is drawing national attention.
Disciplinary administrator Stanton Hazlett will present evidence in support of the allegations, and attorneys for Kline will mount his defense. Witnesses — including a judge who oversaw parts of Kline’s investigation — will testify.
If the panel finds Kline in violation of ethical rules, it will recommend any discipline to the Kansas Supreme Court. Punishment could range from censure to disbarment.
Kline’s investigation of Planned Parenthood and Tiller began shortly after he became attorney general in 2003 and continued when he became district attorney in 2007. Kline accused the abortion providers of violating state law and covering for pedophiles by not reporting pregnancies of underage girls. He sought medical records of former patients to prove his case.

Are William and Kate still in love?
Kate Middleton and Prince William have known each other since they were in college and have been married since 2011.
And as many have noticed, they rarely show affection in public..
Will Camilla become queen?
Although technically Camilla should be Queen Consort when Charles succeeds his mother and becomes King, the couple have decided against that title. Clarence House has previously confirmed that Camilla will not take on the title of Queen Consort and instead will be known as Princess Consort.
Why do the Royals put their hand in their jacket?
The hand-in-waistcoat (also referred to as hand-inside-vest, hand-in-jacket, hand-held-in, or hidden hand) is a gesture commonly found in portraiture during the 18th and 19th centuries. The pose appeared by the 1750s to indicate leadership in a calm and firm manner.
Why do kings and queens sleep in separate beds?
Why do the royals sleep in separate beds? Reportedly, the reason why some royals choose to sleep in different beds all comes down to an upper class tradition which originated in Britain. According to Lady Pamela Hicks, Prince Philip’s cousin, the aristocracy “always have separate bedrooms”.
Do Royals sleep in the same bed?
Real-life royals don’t seem to think so. As an old tradition dictates, royal couples never share the same bed or bedroom, allowing them to move freely while asleep. It allows them much needed alone time after hours of being in the limelight.
Why do Kate and William never hold hands?

Foreign companies work with PDVSA in exploration risk contracts, operating agreements and strategic associations in deals signed during the 1990s when the government opened the oil sector to outside investment. CVP had previously handled exploration risk sharing contracts, and other PDVSA divisions ran the remaining joint ventures.
The government has been restructuring PDVSA this year following a crippling oil strike in December and January that was aimed at removing President Hugo Chavez. PDVSA fired more than 18,000 employees, about half its work force, for joining the strike and used troops and loyal replacement workers to restart the oil sector.

I love Gothic fiction! I took several courses on the genre at uni and wrote a blog post about it in the early days of this blog. But then someone suggested I make a video about it too after seeing quite some Gothic fiction on my shelves in my bookcase tour. And since I like it when people request certain video’s or blog posts, I figured I could do one! So that’s what today’s video is about.
A guide to Gothic fiction
Gothic fiction as a genre has been one of my favorites for years and I still love it. Even though I’m getting more into fantasy and sci-fi these days too, Gothic fiction still holds a special place in my heart. Making this video was quite challenging as I wanted it to be as informative as it could be, but not too overwhelming either. It was difficult to be concise! Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy this week’s video: a little different again than my usual beauty and fashion mojo.
What genre do you prefer to read?
8 responses to “A guide to Gothic fiction”
I prefer fantasy, but gothic fiction is a great genre too! 🙂
I’ve been getting into fantasy more these past few years. Mostly YA though. Still have to bite the high fantasy bullet.
I haven’t read much classic gothic literature since school, but I can see how it inspires a lot of the new psychological thriller style fiction I currently read.
[…] surprise. I just recently did a guide to Gothic fiction, so you knew this would be coming. While not the most recent genre that I’m digging, this has […]
I would recommend The Monk by Matthew Lewis. It’s as shocking today as it was back in the late 18th century. But one of the best graphic novels I have ever read has been The Phantom Ship by Frederick Marryat. Also, since you love gothic, if you wish I would love your feedback on a gothic short story I wrote. https://anauthorstravails.wordpress.com/2018/01/06/lady-in-black-short-story/
I have heard loads about The Monk! Will have to seek it out. I would also like to read some Anne Radcliffe.
I tried Radcliffe. I was sorely let down. But maybe you won’t feel the same way.

The Memories that Motivate...
Today is my second youngest brothers birthday, and when pulling up some old pictures of him, I came across one of him with my dad...They were playing in a pool at Disney World on a business trip our parents took my brother on (the other 4 of us back home were a little jealous, but we made the best of it ;)) As I looked at it there was something that struck a chord in me...he's carefully watching Evan from a safe distance, allowing him to enjoy the pool, as much as anyone could with a dozen floaties on! The look on his face, the concentration...it made me think about the man my father was; provider, protector, professional, dreamer, musician, comedian, family man, chef, artist, to name a few...and I wondered how this world, my world, has gone on without him.
He's passed away over 9 years now and it still amazes me how even the slightest catalyst can bring a flood of memories; a picture, a special meal, the sight of a stranger who looks like someone you know, a song...it doesn't take much. My dad was a strong presence, at 6'3" and 300 plus pounds, some could say he was downright intimidating. And though he could be a tough disciplinarian (a veteran of the US Navy, oh the tedious chores we would get for punishment!) he always explained the reasons for it. I remember him telling me once, "Sweetheart, I do these things because I love you...it's not easy in the world, and I want you to be strong and able to stand on your own two feet. No one will be able to bring you down, unless you let them." I may have grumbled through the tasks and chores attached to my grounding, but I never forgot what he said. And it proved true time and time again as I grew older, then grew up (or so I thought) and experienced the world for myself.
Now, in my thirties with a family of my own, I know in my heart what he was trying to do for his children. To equip us with the tools and the discipline to succeed in the world, but also to dream, and to reach for those dreams and make them realities. Memories of my father give me inspiration, his love gives me joy, and the values he instilled in me give me everything I need to make a difference in this world. I firmly believe he was taken so swiftly because his gifts and talents were needed in heaven...he had already given his children all he could so they could be blessings on this earth.
I love you dad, I miss you dearly, but I take comfort in the fact we will see each other again!
Love your family. Spend time, be kind & serve one another. Make no room for regrets. Tomorrow is not promised & today is short.

Go beyond milk tea and pad see ew into a world of Thai-style brunch dishes, desserts, bakeries and more.
Sip sweet Thai milk tea and a huge range of speciality coffee at West Melbourne's cosy local, Udom House. This cafe is known for its delicious homestyle cooking. Think crispy homemade curry pies, fluffy pandan kaya toast and hearty traditional mains. Udom House is open until 9.30pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Homm Dessert at Heart
Treat yourself Thai tea or and mango sticky rice bingsu Homm Dessert at Heart. Then try house-made milk bread with coconut and pandan kaya toast. Plus there are lots of refreshing fruit drinks to sip on. Find this late night spot at La Trobe Street or Melbourne Central. Fun fact: all recipes were created by the winner of Masterchef Thailand, so you know it’s good.
Roslyn Thai Cafe
A new sun-soaked Thai cafe has sprouted in West Melbourne. Visit this sweet spot for traditional brunches on the large deck. The congee comes served hot with egg and pork balls. For dessert, there's mango sorbet with sweet sticky rice. But the real show stopper is the stunning range of cakes.

Word on the street is this Thai dessert spot serves the best burnt butter toast in Melbourne. Wander over to Rongcha at 18 Little Lonsdale Street and carb-load on thick slices of bread loaded with toppings like ube cream, caramel and biscoff crumbs.

We often describe things as hidden, but Snow Moon is seriously hidden. Like, walk down a never-ending tunnel off a laneway and stop dead in the centre levels of hidden. But for these delicious Thai-inspired shaved ice desserts, it's definitely worth the journey. Classic milk tea and Oreo flavours are on the menu. Along with pandan-soaked toastie sticks, Yakult jelly creations and Lotus Biscoff waffles. They stay open until 10pm, Monday to Saturday!

Q24N — In a second-round vote, the far-right candidate, Javier Milei, 53, a libertarian committed to reducing the size of the State and dollarizing the economy has defeated the Peronism that has dominated Argentina for more than 70 years, was elected as the new president of Argentina.
The economist swept the runoff of the elections in Argentina by achieving 55% of the votes against Sergio Massa, who obtained 44%, with 87% counted.
Massa, Minister of Economy in a country with 142% year-on-year inflation, admitted his defeat even before the official results were released.

— Javier Milei (@JMilei) November 19, 2023
For Milei, the Argentine currency “is not useful for payment” and that is why he has proposed dollarizing the economy. “The peso is the currency issued by the Argentine politician and, therefore, it cannot be worth even excrement. That garbage is not even useful for fertilizer,” said the new Argentine president.

Up to 500 jobs could be lost at Blacks Leisure as it shuts another 89 stores and cuts a fifth of its head office staff.
This is the company's latest attempt to placate its bankers and secure its future. The closures will affect its Millets and Blacks chains across the UK.
Blacks announced this morning that it has opened consultations with staff over the proposed closure of the 89 stores, most of which have been loss-making for several years.
A Blacks' spokeswoman declined to say how many staff would be affected as the consultation period has just begun, but it is thought that up to 450 jobs could go. Blacks is also planning to reduce its head office workforce in Northampton by around 50 people.
"Whilst it is highly regrettable that the Company is having to take these steps, both actions will ultimately strengthen the business and help ensure that a successful and profitable outdoor retailer emerges from the current restructuring process," said the company.
Blacks has until the end of October to persuade Lloyds Banking Group that it has a viable future. Last week Blacks announced it is putting its 11 Sandcity stores into administration, but it also warned today that "further restructuring is still required to satisfy" Lloyds.

A good salesperson will understand and not bother you while you are trying on different sofas for size. You need to get an understanding of how it feels when you stay sitting on it for a while. What should you look for before you buy an office chair? An office chair is a piece of furniture that is a sound investment for anyone who spends long hours at a desk.
The fabric you select for your sofa contributes immensely to its usability and beauty. A sleeper sofa is a great multifunctional piece of furniture with the potential to turn any room into a bedroom. You can fit a sleeper sofa in so many places - a child room, an office or even an appropriately sized alcove. Almost any sofa can be bought as a sleeper sofa, and sleeper sofas come in all sizes.
Before you buy an office chair, check to see if the backrests, seat, and armrests are adjustable. You should be able to adjust the seat height and tilt of your office chair to your own preferences, and ideally the seat should be comfortable enough to support you comfortably, while letting your body breathe. The most important feature to look for is good lumbar support, as an office chair with a good lumbar support lets your back stay in a position that is good for its spine health.

For example yellow will be used with green or orange, or blue will be used with green or purple. This creates a colorful and often soothing palette. The contrast scheme is more dramatic. Here a triad of contrasting colors are used, such as yellow-orange, green-blue and red-purple. This introduces more color and energy into your home’s palette.

We will caution against selecting your wall color first. Wall paints are inexpensive and can be created in any color and in any hue you desire. It’s best to start with harder to find items such as furniture and rugs or carpets. Once you’ve selected your furnishings you can then move on to wall color. You may decide that you’d prefer your color not to be on your walls, but in your accessories or furnishings instead. Many people prefer this. Others, conversely, prefer more neutral furnishings contrasted by bold and powerful walls.
A sofa is one of the most important furniture purchases for your home, so before you buy a sofa make sure you are getting one that fits your needs. A sofa that is perfect for your living room could be a terrible idea for your family room. First figure out how you want to use your sofa and who will be using it. Determine whether your sofa is a good fit for your space, and since there are sofas to fit any style of room, look for one that satisfies your own personal sense of style.

Most of the public place that is needed for people is provided into these facilities. In this time, there are many kinds of the apartment that has provided the great facilities to ease the people activities.
The size and shape of a pot is also important. A large container works well in most spaces, while smaller pots have more impact when grouped together. A tall, slender vessel evokes elegance and adds height, while a short container leads the eye through a scene. The vibrant complementary colors of a Mediterranean-style wall and a turquoise ceramic pot create a dynamic and visually exciting vignette.

EPA, state propose interim dioxin plan for Tittabawassee River
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, working with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment, is proposing an interim action plan to limit human exposure to dioxin and furan contamination in areas along the Tittabawassee River floodplain.
The EPA recommends placing a physical barrier such as ground cover over soils to limit contact, or raising land use features such as gardens and recreation areas out of the floodplain. The plan proposes short-term measures, until long-term solutions are implemented for floodplain soil.
The EPA is seeking public comment on the plan and on the supporting technical document called an engineering evaluation/cost analysis.
The public will have a chance to comment on the plan at a public meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Jan. 19 at Saginaw Valley State University's Curtiss Hall Seminar Room D-G, 7400 Bay Road in Saginaw.
EPA and MDNRE representatives will also be available to talk to residents at the following informal sessions:
* Jan. 18, 5-8 p.m. at the Freeland Sportszone, 5690 Midland Road, Freeland.
* Jan. 19, 1-4 p.m. at the Thomas Township Library, 8207 Shields Drive, Saginaw.

The same can be said for the individually designed show rooms spread out throughout the venue that each had their own spin on the trends set. As we’ve seen throughout the media over the past year or so, technology has been making itself an integral part of people’s homes with the Amazon Alexa and all the components that make up a ‘smart’ kitchen, something we saw this all over the show. Though many wanted to stay a little more on the traditional side of their designs, there was no doubt that the new toys have certainly made an impression.
The show homes this year focussed on a variety of locations and with that they varied immensely in style and purpose. The titled ‘Innovation Home’ is a not-so-typical Victorian home, reimagined for the modern family and with a bold statement to go with it. This bold statement comes in the form of the kitchen continuing into the living room, stretching from the back of the house and hovering over the back garden held up by fortified stilts. It’s really a stunning sight. The interior of the home was designed by the lovely Sophie Robinson who’s made regular appearances on the BBC and we recently chatted about her night hosting the Amara IBA’s. Having met all the bloggers at that event and combining them with her considerable experience has certainly had a heavy effect on her design choices inside this home with no single room being the same as the last. 100% worth the queue.
The last show house we took a look at, and you certainly should too while the show lasts, is the ‘Liv-In’ Beach Hut. This collaboration by Hudson Architects and MFA Property is an engorged version of exactly what it sounds like. Much like Sophie Robinson’s creation, this house isn’t traditionally structured, again with a living room that juts out. The two companies have done very well to reimagine one of Britain’s most iconic images, the beach hut. You see them stretching out far on most of our beaches and you can tell that this is an aim for the duo with strong pushes from them regarding affordability and the amount of time it takes to construct each home. The interior design is basic but fun, and as a break from the norm, is that so bad?
Finally, to one side of these two homes are the latest additions to the show home section of the show, home pods. These two very compact structures are designed to be an extra room for any property with the ground space for it. Their design however, has been constructed with a view for two different purposes. The first that we came across was the Quadrant Contemporary Workspace designed by the 2 Lovely Gays Studio (2LG) who brought their A game, as per usual with this one. The project itself is designed to be a breakaway den for concentration that works as a separate-home-office or a secluded meeting room outside the office, complete with a small kitchen and a work desk with tools of the design trade.
The second pod is a stunning sleeping den with a serene off-the-grid feel to it with it’s emphasis on forestry as a theme. This pod was the design by the duo behind the Brighton-based Black Parrots Studio, Sarah Mitchenall and AlexaDe Castilho. The playful wall prints, and the bright colour themes add a layer of warmth to the room which something any host would want for their guests in their home. They’ve done an amazing job.
Naturally, after we’d wandered through all these stunning homes, we had an adventure around the rest of the event seeing what the Food and Drink festival had on offer. We were not disappointed. Sadly, we couldn’t stay forever so sought out the room sets at the event.
We’ve gone to this area of the show year in year out, because it’s a direct representation of where the predicted trends of 2018 are going according to some people that know a thing or two about interiors. Good Homes Magazine put on a set of stunning room sets right at the main entrance of the show and there was no other spot they could be really. Each one very different from the last, but all just as admirable as each other for their boldness and accuracy in projecting the trends we’ve all been delving into this year. With that being said, the publishing giant, has made great efforts to find a compromise between the outlandish nature of the trends set (maybe something we could use a bit of) and themes based in tradition. You can see this from the hints of the brass industrialist look of the dining room and the immense pattern work that comes straight out of one of Camille Walala’s notebooks with that bright media room. Either way, we loved all of it.
As well as Good Homes magazine, Victoria Plum had a run at creating some beautiful room sets with three of their bathrooms on display. Just like Good Homes Magazine they went for varied themes in their work from regal simplicity to a monochrome industrial look. They each looked incredible and had something for everyone.
We had an incredible day out, gawking at the works of the biggest and best in the home décor scene and met some incredible newcomers to the game. We’re sure to be seeing more and more of them as the year goes on.

Mapping the First World War
The Great War through maps from 1914-1918. The Imperial War Museum in London has in its collection maps documenting war zones and maps used in war. A selection of these maps, along with photographs, is used to show the history of the First World War. Types of maps vary from those showing country boundaries, maps showing key battles, trench maps and maps from newspapers and propaganda. Battles include those at Gallipoli, the Middle East and the Western Front. With chapters arranged in chronological order this book by Peter Chasseaud provides an informative interpretation of the story of a world at war.

It won’t set any records for speed, but the Cripple Creek community is moving along with its pursuit for more affordable housing.
Following last week’s regular meeting, Mayor Milford Ashworth put in a plug for the early successes that have occurred in the push for more housing.
Last week, the Cripple Creek City Council signaled the green light for six additional single-family residences. The council had to sign off on a zoning change and a conditional use permit to make the latest venture official.
No objections came forward for the project, proposed by Vincent Hall of Pueblo, by any local residences. Hall said his company wants to do what it can to address the current housing shortage in Cripple Creek.
Since the council okayed development incentives about a year ago, plans for nearly 40 new housing units have been proposed. An active permit work has occurred on approximately half of this number, according to Special Projects Director Jeff Mosher.
Housing has been cited as the number one challenge facing Cripple Creek. “We have to grow the community,” said City Administrator Frank Salvato.
The new city boss has cited housing, and the desire to more people living in Cripple Creek, as a major goal.
The city is currently making a big push for federal and state grants for major infrastructure improvements to further expand its water and sewer lines.
In addition, plans were okayed last week for a road vacation request near the Wildwood casino, which could open the door for more non-gaming activity.

The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home, and its design is crucial in creating a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. While white cabinets have long been a popular choice, a fresh trend is emerging in kitchen design: navy blue cabinets. This bold and sophisticated color choice can transform a kitchen into a stylish and inviting space. In this article, we will explore the various ways navy blue cabinets can be incorporated into kitchen design, from using it as a focal point to pairing it with contrasting colors and materials.
Using Navy Blue Zs a Focal Point
One way to incorporate navy blue cabinets into your kitchen design is by using them as a focal point. By painting the cabinets in this rich hue, you can instantly draw attention to them and make them the star of the show. Navy blue cabinets work particularly well in kitchens with white or light-colored walls, as they create a striking contrast that adds visual interest to the space. To further enhance the focal point effect, consider choosing cabinets with decorative hardware or unique design details.
Pairing Navy Blue with Contrasting Colors and Materials
Another way to incorporate navy blue cabinets into your kitchen design is by pairing them with contrasting colors and materials. This approach allows you to create a unique and dynamic look that is sure to impress. One popular combination is navy blue cabinets with white marble countertops. The crisp white of the marble provides a clean and elegant contrast to the rich navy blue, creating a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic.
Creating a Monochromatic Look
For those who prefer a more cohesive and unified look, creating a monochromatic kitchen design with navy blue cabinets can be a great option. By using various shades of blue throughout the space, you can create a harmonious and soothing ambiance. Consider using lighter shades of blue for the walls or backsplash, and darker shades for the cabinets. This creates a sense of depth and dimension, while still maintaining a cohesive look.
Adding a Pop of Color
If you’re looking to add a pop of color to your kitchen, navy blue cabinets can be the perfect choice. This versatile color pairs well with a wide range of other colors, allowing you to create a vibrant and energetic space. Consider pairing navy blue cabinets with a bright and bold color, such as yellow or red, for a playful and lively look. Alternatively, you can opt for a more subtle pop of color by choosing accessories or small appliances in a contrasting hue.
Navy blue cabinets offer a fresh and modern take on kitchen design. Whether you choose to use them as a focal point, pair them with contrasting colors and materials, create a monochromatic look, or add a pop of color, navy blue cabinets can transform your kitchen into a stylish and inviting space. By considering the overall design of your kitchen and balancing the various elements, you can create a look that is both timeless and on-trend. So why not take a leap of faith and give navy blue cabinets a try in your next kitchen renovation?
