O Lord God, send Your Spirit to bless us as we gather to worship this day. Move us to repent of our sins, to rejoice in Your forgiveness, and to bear fruit in our lives as we strive faithfully to serve You. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
The Lord compares His Old Testament people to a "vineyard"—planted with utmost care, but which ultimately produced inferior "wild" grapes. What should be done in such a case? The Lord warns His unfaithful people that He will destroy them in view of their unfaithfulness!
St. Paul urges us to join him in pressing toward the "goal" of the calling of God in Christ. There are many who will oppose us as "enemies of the cross of Christ," but let us persevere, knowing that our citizenship truly lies in heaven, not on this earth!
"Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country. Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit. And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them. Then last of all he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.' But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.' And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?" They said to Him, "He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons." Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures: 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it."
How important is faith in Jesus Christ to true religion? How important is Jesus Christ to the eternal salvation of any human soul? The Bible answers those questions very clearly. It says with reference to Jesus, "Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also" (1 Jn. 2:23), and "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). The rejection of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and mankind's only Savior is spiritually fatal, for it deprives those rejecting Him of the true God, and it removes any possibility of eternal salvation.
Our juniors and seniors took special note of these facts when studying Judaism this past week in our Comparative Religions course. Judaism claims to follow the Old Testament scriptures, yet it rejects Jesus Christ—the Savior promised in those Scriptures. While those who practice Judaism observe Old Testament religious festivals, such as the Passover and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), those festivals have been stripped of their true meaning. Those festivals were intended to be pictures of the sacrifice that the promised Savior would make in order to free mankind from sin and the tyranny of Satan. Without Jesus Christ—that Savior, Judaism does not worship the true God. Without Jesus Christ, Judaism offers no hope of salvation, for their vain attempts to gain salvation by keeping the Old Testament laws will inevitably fail, for as the Bible asserts, "By the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His (that is, God's) sight" (Rom. 3:20).
In our text today Jesus warns the Jewish leaders and people of His day not to reject Him, for in so doing they would deprive themselves of God's kingdom and all of its blessings. Unfortunately, the warning of Jesus went unheeded. The vast majority of the Jewish people of that day did reject Him and the result was the destruction of the Jewish nation and the passing of the God's kingdom to others. My dear friends, DON'T LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF!
Let us not reject Jesus and lose the kingdom of God! The day was the Monday of Holy Week, five days before Jesus' crucifixion. Jesus' earthly ministry was near its end and His work of redemption near completion. He had faithfully proclaimed the truths of His Father in heaven, calling people to repentance and faith. While a rather small number of people had enthusiastically embraced Jesus and His teachings, the vast majority of people had not. For many, the teachings of Jesus were viewed as "hard sayings" (Jn. 6:60), and they, losing their earlier enthusiasm, simply left Him and went home. For others, in particular the religious leaders—the scribes, Pharisees, and chief priests, opposition to Jesus had reached a feverish pitch. This was particular true after Jesus had driven those buying and selling in the temple out of the temple claiming they had made God's house into a "den of thieves" (Mt. 21:13). St. Luke reports that at this point, "The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him" (Lk. 22:2).
It was in this highly charged atmosphere that Jesus, while teaching in the temple, offered this parable of warning to His own people and, in particular, their religious leaders. He said, "Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country." The landowner in the parable, of course is God, while the vineyard is His Kingdom of grace. The vinedressers were the Jewish people in general and their religious leaders in particular. God had chosen them as His special Old Testament people. They had been entrusted with the promise of the coming Savior on behalf of all of mankind. They had received God's civil and moral law to protect and guide them. They had been given the ceremonial law, much of which we specially intended to foreshadow the coming sacrifice of the Savior. What privileges these people enjoyed, but what happened?
The parable went on, "Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit. And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them. Then last of all he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.' But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.' And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him." God, who invested so much in His vineyard, expected to receive back fruits of faith. He expected heart-felt devotion, mercy, justice, and a sincere effort at godly living, but instead when God sent His "servants," the Old Testament prophets, to preach to His people, they did not receive them. They abused them—beating some and killing others. The "son" of the landowner represents Jesus, the promised Savior and Son of God, sent by the heavenly Father to bring salvation. The vinedressers in the parable killed the "son," even as the religious leaders of the Jews planned to do to Christ—even as they would do only five short days later.
What would the landowner do? Jesus asks those listening and receives their answer, "He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons." Jesus then responds by quoting the Psalmist and offering a startling revelation of what was at stake for God's Old Testament people, "Did you never read in the Scriptures: 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you." Jesus Christ was the "stone" about to be rejected by His own people. He would become the "chief cornerstone" of the New Testament church. The big question was whether or not the Jewish people would continue to share in God's Kingdom, or whether it would be taken away from them and given to others. As history reveals, the vast majority of the Jewish people and most of their spiritual leaders steadfastly resisted Jesus and ultimately lost their share in the kingdom of God. After turning Jesus over to the Romans for crucifixion and then rejecting the miracle of the resurrection, they were finally destroyed in 70 A.D. when the armies of Rome besieged and burned Jerusalem, dispersing the Jews throughout the then known world.
My dear friends, has history repeated itself? I am afraid it has. Northern Europe was the center of Reformation activity in the 16th century, but already in Luther's day there was a cooling towards the gospel and the work of God. Luther warned his beloved German people that if they did not appreciate the gospel, God would give it to someone else, causing it to leave just as a rain shower passes from one spot to the next! If you travel in Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, or England today, you will find churches empty and the vast majority of people live their lives in unbelief. The Lord has taken His kingdom away and given it to others!
History not only repeated itself, but will again wherever individuals respond to the gospel with indifference. Our country, our congregation, we as individuals have been so blessed by God, and yet the temptation is to take the gospel for granted. It is so easy to fall into a pattern of failing to hear God's word regularly, to apply it casually and selectively in our lives, and to compromise it rather than to spread it. My dear friends, let us not deceive ourselves into believing that we can entertain a casual attitude towards God and His kingdom without experiencing His judgment. "God is not mocked!" We will "reap what we sow" (Gal. 6:7). DON'T LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF! Let us not reject Jesus and lose the kingdom of God!
Let us rather embrace Jesus and bear fruits worthy of His kingdom! Jesus warned those people listening in the temple that day, "Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it." God has "reconciled the world unto Himself" (2 Cor. 5:19), and it is His distinct desire that "all men…be saved and…come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim. 2:4). The sad fact, however, is that the "way to destruction is broad, and there are many who go in by it," while the "gate" and "way" leading to everlasting life are both "narrow" and "difficult" and there are "few who find it" (Mt. 7:13-14). My dear friends, are you and I among the many or the few?
Let us embrace Jesus in faith and pray that He might fill our lives with the fruits of faith—love, peace, joy, contentment, patience, concern, and long-suffering. Jesus says, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing" (Jn. 15:5). We abide in Jesus when we listen attentively to His word, repent sincerely of our sins, and strive honesty to love both our God and others in our lives. We cannot say that we are producing godly fruits of faith and love our God, when we speak and act wretchedly over against one another. Children, you are not producing fruit when you disobey your parents or act disrespectfully to your teachers or others placed in authority over you. Parents, you are not producing fruit when you do not both discipline and love your children, thereby seeking to bring them up in the "training and admonition of the Lord" (Eph. 6:4). We are not producing fruit when we possess a callous attitude towards those in need of our help, or when we continuously press our personal advantage in all of our life dealings. As Isaiah told the people of his day, the LORD was looking for "justice" and "righteousness" in the lives of His people. As St. Paul told the Christians of the first century, they were to "press toward the goal for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 3:14). Where is help needed? Let us go there! What is it that needs to be done? Let us do that! Should we fail, and we will for we must deal with our sinful flesh throughout our lives, then let us humbly ask for God's forgiveness, rejoice in the fact that we possess that forgiveness, and then go forward intent upon seeking God's glory and bringing everyone around us blessings!
Luther's while explaining the Third Petition addresses these issues and his thoughts can serve to guide both our attitude and actions as we close this meditation: "God's will is done when He breaks and stops every evil will and plan of those who do not want us to hallow His name or let His kingdom come, such as the will of the devil, of the world, and of our own flesh. His will is also done when He gives us strength and keeps us firm in His Word and in faith for as long as we live." May God's will be done in our lives to His glory and for our blessing! Amen.

NBA Rumors – Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers & Memphis Grizzlies Trying to Sign Greg Oden
Morgan Petrelli
Despite all of injuries and surgeries, Greg Oden is going to find a team for himself in the NBA next season. The Miami Heat have been the first to show some interest in the former number one pick, but the San Antonio Spurs, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers and Memphis Grizzlies are all going to try and sign him.
You can't have enough good big men, especially if they come in cheaply. While Oden didn't show any signs of becoming a superstar at center for the Blazers during the 82 games he played for them, when he's healthy he's a very solid option to have in the paint on both ends of the floor.
Oden is only 25 (unless you believe the conspiracy theories), which means there's quite a lot of upside to consider when signing him. Oden isn't going to put on big numbers or probably play too many minutes, unless he handles himself well during the early parts of a season, but any team in need of a quality backup big man (and it's hard to find an NBA team without a need for a 7 footer coming off the bench or even in the lineup) should be interested in him.
Especially when considering Oden isn't going to cost too much – maybe something a bit more than a minimum contract, hoping his 16.7 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per 36 minutes he posted during the 2008-2009 season are something that haven't disappeared in the four years he's been away from the basketball courts.
Oden doesn't want to be on a team that'll put a lot of pressure on him to play, which means he'd rather be going to place he can play behind a significant big man and offer a few minutes of rest here and there. Playing for a contender isn't a must, but joining a team that already has a solid puzzle and Oden won't be thrust into too big of a role is ideal for him, trying, probably for the last time, to save what might remain of his NBA career.

Mozzarella magic
Steam rises as Giuseppe Cuomo takes a wooden paddle to the shapeless mass moistened with scalding water. He immerses his bare hands into the milky hot liquid, pulling and stretching.
With the help of an assistant, he continues to tug at the ghostly form until it can be draped over his arm like a length of fine cloth. The transformation completed, he tears off a glob of the lustrous paste and rolls it into a smooth porcelain-colored ball.
With fingers as sturdy as a sculptor's, Cuomo deftly twists handfuls of his pliable medium into a fat braid, a piglet, a dove and sets them in cool water to set their shape.
"E la magia di Peppino" — It's Joe's magic — said Costantino Cammarano, the executive chef at Jerry's Gourmet and More in Englewood as he stepped away from his stove just long enough to admire Cuomo's wizardry. It's the magic of mozzarella. "For a lot of people, mozzarella is the goopy cheese on the pizza," said Cuomo, 59, a fourth-generation cheese maker from Vico Equense, Italy. In his native region of Campania, the people are as passionate about their mozzarella as the Tuscans are about their wine. His freshly made product bears little resemblance to the vacuum-packed bricks of rubbery cheese that go by the same name in most supermarkets. Intended to be eaten at room temperature, ideally within 24 hours, "it must be fresh and juicy," he said. "The ones in the supermarket are done by machine. This is made by hand. The finished product has to be soft, juicy, and creamy. It's an artisanal process, fresh daily, with respect to tradition."
Working 10 hours a day, usually on-site, for about 20 clients that include several Manhattan restaurants, such as Tribeca Grill, Bice and Naples 45, and Panevino Ristorante in Livingston, as well as Jerry's, Cuomo turns out about 2,000 pounds of mozzarella a week. "Mozzarella is in my blood," he said.
Cuomo began learning how to make mozzarella at age 10, and his two brothers still operate the family's cheese making company, La Sorrentina, in Italy. Cuomo transplanted his skills to the United States, where he eventually was hired by the Italian filmmaker, Dino De Laurentiis, to work at DDL Foodshow in Manhattan in the 1980s.
Over the years, his mozzarella has crossed the lips of notables ranging from Sophia Loren to Geraldine Ferraro, from Robert Klein to Robert DeNiro, "da papi a presidenti" — from popes to presidents — he said. Notwithstanding his many encounters with celebrity, he said, "Cheese is my life."
On his right hand — "cooked," like his left, from decades of cheese making, he said — he wears a gold ring, engraved with the letters GC, that was passed on to him from his grandfather, whose name and trade he carries on.
Cuomo begins the process by setting cow's milk curd out at room temperature. He slices off a large chunk with a knife and then cuts it into uniform pieces by pushing it through a stainless steel-stringed cutter called a chitarra — "guitar" — set over a bowl. He sprinkles the curd with kosher salt and begins stirring as water heated to about 160 degrees is carefully poured along the sides of the bowl. There are no measuring cups or thermometers in sight. Everything is done by eye and by feel.
Immediately, the liquid assumes a yellowish cast as the curd releases butterfat and other solids. "When you shock the curd with that hot water, the fat wants to expel," explained Frank Angeloni, a consultant with Providence Specialty Products of Providence, RI, which manufacturers the Benevento brand of curd that Cuomo favors. "If you dump the water on top, you'll lose too much fat and the yield will go down. It will become hard and dry. The goal is to make the most mozzarella, and the most tender mozzarella."
Stirring with an oak paddle purchased in lower Manhattan — "Now you find more Italian things here than in Italy," said Cuomo — Cuomo works quickly to obtain a pleasing texture. "The touch of your hands tells you when it's ready," he said. At that point, he has his assistant replace some of the hot water with cool water to break the cooking process. Stretching and squeezing, Cuomo tears off globes of cheese by hand. This motion — mozzare in Italian (to lop off) — gives mozzarella its name. The result of Cuomo's labor is so luscious that the Italians call it fior di latte, flower of milk.
Many Italian specialty stores offer homemade mozzarella, but artisans like Cuomo are becoming increasingly rare. "He's a specialist, and he's a good teacher, too. But do you think there's going to be another generation?" said Jerry Turci, who heads Jerry's Gourmet.
At Tuscany Italian Specialties in Manalapan, two of the store's partners, Sal Faenza and Vincent La Franca, share the mozzarella-making chores. "We're like the last generation," said Faenza, who's 41. "No one wants to learn to do it. The water is hot; it's a lot of work. They don't have the passion." Large commercial manufacturers, he added, "make pretty good machine-made mozzarella, but it's not the same. The curd is different every time, so you have to know
how to work it."
Faenza learned to make mozzarella from old-world cheese makers in his native Brooklyn, where most Italian food stores sold their own fior di latte. "Now it's hard to find it the way we make it. That's why we sell a lot of it," said Faenza, who makes 80 to 100 pounds a day and about twice as much on the weekend for sale at his shop and at Sickles Market in Little Silver.
"Mozzarella has always been one of the most popular of the non-American (cheese) varieties," said Don Blayney, an agricultural economist with the Economic Research Service of the US Department of Agriculture in Washington, DC. According to ERS estimates, in 2006 mozzarella was the most popularly consumed cheese in the nation — 10.5 pounds per capita — edging out Cheddar, at 10.44 pounds. The widespread appeal of pizza is one of the factors feeding the demand for mozzarella, "but some of it is also that people have become more connoisseurs of all kinds of cheese," said Blayney.
"Now there is more education about mozzarella," said Cuomo. "It has become very trendy." Obikà, an Italian chain of mozzarella bars (the name means "look here" in Neapolitan dialect) featuring buffalo mozzarella from the Campania region, is expected to open a New York location.
Made from the milk of water buffalo, not bison, buffalo mozzarella imported from the Campania region is a protected denomination of origin (DOP) product and a favorite of gourmets. But it is much more expensive than fior di latte, which typically costs about $8 a pound. "A lot of people don't understand the product," said Faenza.
Though Cuomo acknowledges the fine quality of mozzarella made from buffalo milk, which is richer in protein, fat and calcium than cow's milk, he still favors freshly made fior di latte over imported mozzarella di bufala because, even when shipped as quickly as possible, "it loses something," he said.
In August, the Woodstock Water Buffalo Company of Woodstock, VT, one of only two water buffalo dairies in the United States, took first place in the fresh mozzarella category of the American Cheese Society's 2007 Cheese Competition with its fresh buffalo mozzarella, which is stretched by machine. A six-ounce ball retails for $6 to $7. "It's very expensive for us to have the herd here," said Carey Clifford, the company's director of marketing. "They produce 10 to 12 pounds of milk a day, as opposed to a Holstein cow, which produces 60 to 80 pounds of milk a day."
Curd obtained from water buffalos in the United States is not the same as that from water buffalos in Italy, said Cuomo. And even the mozzarella he makes by hand is not exactly like the handmade mozzarella from his hometown. He has high praise for American milk, particularly from Vermont and Wisconsin; however, "Milk is like wine. Where it comes from makes a difference," he said.
And so does passion for a time-honored craft, he insisted. "I love what I do."


Lebanon's General Security says it arrested a spy ring comprised of five people who allegedly spied for Israeli embassies abroad.
Lebanon's General Directorate of General Security announced on Wednesday that it had arrested a spy ring comprised of five people who allegedly "spied for Israeli embassies abroad", reports the Lebanese Naharnet news website.
According to the report, the spy ring included two Lebanese men, two Nepalese women and a Palestinian Arab man.
"During interrogation, the detainees confessed to the charges, admitting that they had called phone numbers belonging to the Israeli enemy's embassies in Turkey, Jordan, Britain and Nepal with the aim of spying and passing on information," a General Security statement said.
The investigations revealed that the two Nepalese women were actively recruiting Nepalese domestic workers in Lebanon with the aim of spying for Israel, according to Naharnet.
"They gave them the phone number of the Israeli embassy in Nepal so that they pass on information about their employers to the Mossad Israeli intelligence agency," the General Security statement added.
"Following interrogation, they were referred to the relevant judicial authorities on charges of collaborating with the Israeli enemy and efforts are underway to arrest the rest of the culprits," it continued.
This is not the first time that Lebanon has claimed to have arrested people who were spying for Israel.
In 2015, Lebanese authorities announced they had arrested two Lebanese nationals and a Syrian on allegations of spying for Israel.
The three were identified only by their initials. There were no details on exactly when or where the three were detained.
Several weeks later, Lebanese media reported that soldiers had detonated a "listening device" allegedly planted by Israel in the southern Marjayoun region, close to the border with the Jewish state.
Lebanon is not alone, as other Arab countries have in recent years made similar claims about Israeli espionage.
In 2015, for an example, an Egyptian court sentenced to jail a man convicted of "spying for Israel" in the Sinai Peninsula.
Most recently, Algeria claimed to have uncovered an international spy network operating for Israel.
The network was reportedly made up of 10 members and was based in southern Algeria. The members allegedly included operatives from Libya, Mali, Ethiopia, Liberia, Nigeria and Kenya.

In my last post, I put $30 towards Heroes of Newerth in August. That left me with $20, and $20 for September, October, November, and now December. It's been a while since I've been able to play any games (aside from some stolen HoN time) and I was looking for a new game. I'm a sucker for zombie movies, and I had paid quite a bit of attention to Left 4 Dead, but had always held off because the game was distributed through Valve's Steam, a DRM-encumbered platform.
Then, in October, Codeweavers announced they were going to support Left 4 Dead 2 in their next release. I hemmed, I hawed, and I folded, on the rationale that supporting Codeweavers was good enough to qualify this purchase for the Twenty Bucks program. (For those who don't know, Codeweavers is pretty much the commercial side of Wine, employing most of the key programmers.) I bought CrossOver Games, installed Steam, and bought the combo pack of L4D and L4D2. Then I anxiously awaited the demo and the CrossOver Games release that would support L4D2. When it arrived, the demo ran almost perfectly in regular Wine, after some initial installation issues. I played a bit with my son and was living the good life.
Then came the final release on Nov 17th. The installation was broken again, and when you could get the game to run, it would crash within a few minutes. I spent hours working on the installation, even figuring out that I could keep the crash from being a hard lock by enabling sound emulation in CrossOver Games. Codeweavers released three rapid patches, updating CrossOver games to support changes Valve was making in the game. Many CrossOver users and Wine users were experiencing different crashes, with a variety of fixes that fixed some people and not others. And we weren't alone – hundreds of Windows users were also reporting the same kinds of crashes and the same kinds of random fixes.
Some of the drm protection continues to check during gameplay. Usually CrossOver passes this check, but sometimes it does not. We can reproduce some of the crashes and issues at hand. The best thing you can do is file a support ticket.
Now, maybe it's not the DRM, and Jensen is wrong – perhaps it is an anti-cheat mechanism or some other system. But I think it's the DRM, because that explains much about how Valve is responding to this problem. I think this is why they are keeping almost entirely mum about the whole crashing issue, and mostly communicating in patch notes – they know if they explain why these crashes are happening there will be significant customer backlash. As long as they can pretend it's a game problem, they can maintain the illusion that Steam DRM is transparent and prevent a PR fiasco. I'm also pretty sure at this point that they don't know what the problem is, since there have been two patches to fix it and both simply caused more problems. Valve could probably fix this problem today, right now, by removing the DRM. But they won't. Because to them, customers are thieves – even after they've paid.


#1 international bestselling author Linwood Barclay's novels have been praised as "compelling" (The Associated Press), "gripping" ("The Wall Street Journal"), and "fast-paced" ("The Washington Post").
Then he sees something that anyone else might have stumbled upon--but has not--in a street view of downtown New York City: an image in a window. An image that looks like a woman being murdered.
Thomas's brother, Ray, takes care of him, cooking for him, dealing with the outside world on his behalf, and listening to his intricate and increasingly paranoid theories. When Thomas tells Ray what he has seen, Ray humors him with a half-hearted investigation. But Ray soon realizes he and his brother have stumbled onto a deadly conspiracy.
Linwood Barclay, former columnist for the "Toronto Star," is the #1 international bestselling author of nine critically acclaimed novels, including "The Accident," "Never Look Away," and "No Time for Goodbye," which has been optioned for film. He lives near Toronto.

Thor Salden (Antwerpen, 28 november 1997) is een Belgische voormalig zanger uit Schoten. Salden is anno 2020 niet meer actief in de muziekwereld.

Deelname Eurosong
Hij nam als Thor! deel aan het Junior Eurovisiesongfestival 2006 in Boekarest met het lied Een tocht door het donker. Daarbij behaalde hij een 7de plaats. Hij kreeg punten van alle landen, met 10 punten als maximum van Kroatië.

Thor schreef Een tocht door het donker samen met zijn opa tijdens een boswandeling. Het lied werd een grote hit in de Vlaamse Ultratop 50. Wekenlang stond het op de nummer 2, en moest het Clouseau en Pink voor zich laten. Pas in de vijftiende week klom Thor naar de eerste plaats. In diezelfde week ontving hij als jongste Vlaamse artiest ooit een gouden plaat voor het aantal legale downloads en verkochte singles.

Na Eurosong
In 2007 nam Thor een nieuwe single op, getiteld We gaan naar zee. Het lied werd samen met het Kinder- en Jeugdkoor Lorelei uit Oostakker opgenomen. De leden van het koor zingen de backing vocals en spelen mee in de videoclip die in Plopsaland De Panne is gedraaid.

In 2008 nam Thor deel aan het televisieprogramma Ketnetpop.

Niet lang daarna raakte bekend dat Thor zou stoppen met zingen. Hij vond de optredens wel leuk, maar het was naar eigen zeggen genoeg geweest. Daarbij was hij het beu om de hele tijd kinderliedjes te zingen.

Tijdens Junior Eurosong 2010 zat Thor in de Junior Eurosong-jury. Samen met Laura Omloop en Eva van Trust (de deelneemsters in 2009 en 2007) mochten ze beslissen wie in de finale kwam. Thor was ook te gast bij de De show van het jaar op één en was te zien in Zo is er maar één, waarin hij een lied van Raymond van het Groenewoud zong.

In 2015 nam Thor enkele nummers op met de groep Netwerk.

Om de 20ste verjaardag van Ketnet te vieren zong Thor in december 2017 een Junior Eurosong-medley op het evenement "Throwback Thursday in het Sportpladijs". Hij deed dit samen met Tonya, Laura Omloop en Jonas van X!nk

IT and technical copywriting has a historical reputation for being boring, hard to understand and 'for techies only' – technical copywriters must strike a difficult balance between being informative and keeping readers engaged. Increasingly, their skills are in demand as IT companies realise that great technical copywriting is key to engaging their audience. Some companies do it really well, and here's our top 5 examples.
Tech-giant Apple do one thing really well: their technical copywriters really know how to make words jump off the page, drawing visitors in and selling their products.
Their product pages in particular provide all the technical information prospective buyers need, yet the copy is succinct and exciting, highlighting the product's features as well as the benefits for buyers.
Software provider Thomsons helps businesses handle employee engagement and benefits administration. Their website copy is informative and educates visitors whilst assuming no prior knowledge of the subject. In particular, they provide informative, well-written Guides, introducing readers to various topics from employee benefits to health and wellbeing.
Thomsons have managed, with the help of a talented technical copywriter, to turn a potentially dry subject area into a mine of useful content that keeps their site visitors interested and returning again for new tips and guidance, with the eventual potential to convert them into customers.
Sometimes, visiting the website of IT sector companies can be a frustrating experience for those of us who are less 'technically-minded'. Softcat, a software provider that offers IT infrastructure to corporate and public sector companies, have hired IT copywriters to explain their services in simple terms which make the IT they offer less intimidating and encourage site visitors to engage with them.
Softcat's content keeps things simple, whilst highlighting the benefits their services can bring and how they stand out from their competitors. Their technical copywriting is short and snappy, yet packed with information.
One thing that many technology companies fail to do is to 'speak' to their website visitors by creating copy with a distinct tone of voice. This is where SocialSafe have succeeded. Designed to keep all your social media information (photos, videos, status updates) backed up and safe on your home computer, their website copy speaks to readers' needs and situations in a language they understand.
Using the words 'your story' throughout the copy helps to create brand identity and draws the eye naturally to the next section of content.
SocialSafe have recognised the deeply personal nature of the information we share on social networks and have tailored their copy to reflect this. By showing this awareness, they engage their potential users and appear more desirable than competitors.
Financial advice is something most of us will need at some point in our lives – but it's often not the most interesting or easy to understand topic. Tech company Vouchedfor help users to find trusted financial advisors, solicitors and accountants, all at a one-stop-shop. Their blog is packed with interesting news, helpful tips and quirky features such as 'Top 10: Accountants in the history of cinema.' Including topics like this encourages visitors to spend longer on their site, decreasing their bounce rate and raising their SEO visibility.
The blog is well thought out in terms of layout and image usage, appealing visually to readers as well as using attention-grabbing, SEO-hitting titles to speak to browsers' needs and encourage them to click through and read more.
IT and technical copywriters need to be aware of their audience – avoid using jargon or terms that are difficult to understand and instead address their needs first, increasing your appeal to them. Brand voice is just as important as technical details and information, lending a personal touch to even the driest of subjects.

The Extermination Of The Jewish Race
The Extermination Of The Jewish Race Essay
1304 Words Nov 14th, 2016 6 Pages
The Holocaust, known as the extermination of the Jewish race, is marked in history as one of the most inhumane and unthinkable acts to ever exist. With over five million Jews murdered, this mass Final Solution has caused many to wonder how some survived. One of the most common words associated with the Holocaust is Concentration Camps, otherwise known as death or work camps. The final resting place for the majority of the five million Jews murdered were located at one of the many concentration camps throughout Germany. To think that one could possibly survive the immense torture, starvation and inhumane treatment is hard to grasp. However, Terrence Des Pres gives some insight from real survivors of the Holocaust on how one survived. Des Pres emphasizes that the will to survive in a concentration camp is prevalent on helping one another, and more specifically choosing love over selfishness, strategically obeying to save lives, and the prisoner's will to remain dignified and humane throughout their time at the camps. The Jews of the Holocaust were treated as no living person should ever be treated. The daily comforts of freedom, shelter, toilets, food and the ability to be with loved ones was taken from them in an instant. They were treated like slaves for simply being a race categorized as unwanted. Des Pres mentions that the camps sought to bring the Jews down to an infant and childlike state (Des Pres 113). He also draws excerpts from Bruno Bettelheim's book…
Essay on Holocaust Denial
Genocide is best described as: "the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group." "If the holocaust is not a fact, then nothing is a fact." A major part of the Holocaust genocide is denial. Holocaust denial is present in the United States, Europe, and Canada. These people, known as "revisionists" try to deny the extermination of six million Jews during World War II. The revisionists claim that there are no documents to prove the holocaust actually existed…

involves the idea that one's own race is superior to another and therefore has the right to control that other race. This theory was what was practiced throughout the entire era of the Holocaust. However, instead of continuing the common practice of degrading the Jewish race and grouping them into their own community, the people of Germany who were later to be known as the Nazi Party decided to follow their leader's orders of completely exterminating the Jewish race, along with others such as gypsies…

especially one that develops into a classical stage of civilization.
2) No longer current or applicable; antiquated.
There is a point to that. The point is as follows: Once upon a time, I tried to begin a cross stitching group that I referred to as "The Guilde of St. Clare." St. Clare of Assisi is the patron saint of needleworkers, embroiderers, and the blind. This group was supposed to complete projects in a round robin fashion. However, no one was interested in contributing to the round robins. They just wanted to meet once a month and work on their own stuff. To make matters even worse, this past April, half the membership, quite literally, DIED. Granted, that's only one death, but when you're working with 2 members and 1 leader, it hurts the total. Long story short, instead of helping get and keep me on track, the lack of interest shown made me realize just how archaic my hobby is. Hence the vocabulary lesson above.
Well, glutton for punishment that I am, I have decided to give this another shot. This time, I am opening it to any and all stitchers worldwide. If you can read English or have a program to translate for you, WELCOME!
A few clerical requirements need to be met in order to become part of this group. Firstly, read the journal entry regarding how a round robin works.
Secondly, read the rules posting.
Finally, read and answer the questions on the registration form posting. Just email your reply to ATWRRModerator@gmail.com . You will receive a reply within 2 business days acknowledging receipt of your registration.
Please invite all of your cross-stitching friends to join the exchange--the more the merrier!
If you have any questions or concerns you would like answered prior to joining, please do not hesitate to email them to the above address.

The Gini family has been growing grapes in the Monteforte region, in the heart of the Soave appellation, since the 17th century. It is one of the oldest winemaker families in the region and without a doubt a leader in organic viticulture. The family made its first wine without sulphur in 1985, thus revolutionizing winemaking. The eschewal of sulphur helps to develop pure wines, accurate, that truly reflect the Soave area terroir. At this estate a respect for nature, for the terroir and the characteristics of each vintage are paramount. For the Gini family, now run by brothers Sandro and Claudio, producing quality wines with minimal vineyard intervention and winery manipulation is a family tradition whose brothers.
The Gini family's Garganega vineyards, situated on the slopes of Monteforte, are exceptionally old. With an average age of 80 years and several parcels with vine plants over 100 years, the yields are limited but of a very high quality with unique organoleptic properties. The estate also cultivates Pinot Blanc, Durella, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. Each varietal is carefully cultivated and perfectly adapted to its terroir to produce wines of a finesse and elegance that have no equal in the Soave appellation.
Geographically the province of Verona occupies a privileged place in north-eastern Italy. This sub-region stretches along the Veronese prealps and the Lessini mountains that form a barrier against the cold winds of the North. Furthermore, the proximity of Lake Garda helps moderate the climate, prolonging the grapes' ripening period and tempering summer heatwaves. It also protects the vines in winter by warming the cold air masses The area's volcanic soil is very fertile and yield control is a key element in the elabration of quality wines. The top two wines produced in Verona are Soave and Valpolicella.
Because vineyards in Valpolicella Classico are at a slightly higher elevation than those of the generic Valpolicella appellation they produce a much more intense and elegant type of Corvina, the varietal most commonly grown in these areas. The most potent Valpolicellas are the Recioto (sweet wine) and Amarone (dry wine) made from attic dried grapes with concentrated aromas. This Ripasso practice is also used in the production of Valpolicella Superiore. For this style of wine, the Valpolicella must is fermented together, or subsequently, with the dried grapes previously used for making Amarone.

Worried about When Should You Get an Oil Change?
Home/Resources/Vehicle Care Blog/When Should You Get an Oil Change?
This is a question often asked by new drivers. Keeping up with regular oil changes is crucial for the well-being of your vehicle even though it is one of the simplest and most inexpensive aspects of vehicle maintenance. As the miles add up, oil will become dirty and lose effectiveness, resulting in possible serious damage to your engine. However, many auto shops report that they see a lot of vehicles with dirty and damaged engines because drivers have exceeded the oil change mileage interval, possibly trying to save a little money. However, repair for engine damage is far more costly than an oil change.
With today's modern engines and higher quality oils, there is a lot of controversy about the right interval for oil changes. Many mechanics still recommend an oil change every 3,000 miles for most cars. However, certain types of high-quality synthetic oils can go for many more miles, possibly as many as 10,000. Discuss with your mechanic what is the best type of oil for your vehicle and when should you get an oil change for the best protection of your engine.
Even though you may be able to go more miles in between oil changes, it is still wise to schedule them on a regular basis. Your mechanic then has the opportunity to check out the condition of other fluids, hoses, and operating systems for potential issues.
Many auto shops offer oil change coupons to make frequent oil change services more affordable.
Need to know more about when should you get an oil change? Contact our ASE-certified technicians at Rebel Automotive for more information about our oil change coupons and to schedule an appointment. Our auto shop serves vehicle owners in Henderson, NV, Las Vegas, NV, and North Las Vegas, NV.

text: Q: Proprietary Intel driver for processor microcode firmware seems to disable overclocking I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on Asus B85M-G motherboard with G3258 CPU. This CPU has good overclocking possibilities and I was able to overclock it without hassle. Due to minor issues with hibernation and graphics, I upgraded to 15.04 and turned on "Intel proprietary driver for processor microcode" - then overclocking possibility was gone. After turning this driver off, overclocking was possible again. I am wondering whether it is deliberate action (as suggested, for instance here: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Non-Z-OC-BIOS-Microcode-overclocking,23682.html) or just  some additional configuration is needed.

Reality Checks: Here's the Problem With Sundance's Documentary Programming
Reality Checks: Here's the Problem With Sundance's Documentary Programming
Anthony Kaufman
When it comes to documentaries, the Sundance Film Festival is very good — and perhaps no institution is better — at providing a platform for important social issue films. But while many of this year's TV-ready docs are effective and affecting portraits of real people and their problems (i.e. "What Happened, Miss Simone?," "The Hunting Ground"), Sundance lacks a significant presence of nonfiction films that push the form forward stylistically or that dare to be different.
READ MORE: The 2015 Indiewire Sundance Bible
That's not to say there isn't an art to crafting impactful and compelling movies made from traditional documentary storytelling techniques, whether direct cinema or mixing archival footage with interviews.
Indeed, a film like British documentary veteran Kim Longinotto's "Dreamcatcher" is a bravura piece of pure observational cinema that would make Albert Maysles proud. The film follows a former Chicago prostitute who drives around the streets of the city and visits at-risk children in schools: She is a one-woman "Interrupter," attempting to save ladies and even, shockingly, young girls, who have become victims of child abuse, drug addiction and prostitution. Astonishing in its intimacy and wrenching in its emotional rawness, "Dreamcatcher" captures moments of such startling pain and anguish so well it's a miracle that a camera-person was sitting close by to record it.
Similarly, Turner and Bill Ross' latest documentary "Western" captures a place and a people, letting meaning come from what's on screen rather than trying to enforce a message. Lyrical and bold images of dusty plains and lightening-streaked skies along the Texas-Mexico border alternate with more intimate portraits of two individuals and their threatened way of life: a rare Texas mayor who favors bridges, not walls, with his Mexican neighbors and a cattle rancher who needs a more open border to operate his business. Rather than address the complicated politics of the region with talking heads or text on screen, the Ross brothers rely on evocative images — a dying bull is dragged outside of a bullfight arena — to communicate the impending threats, which include Mexican drug gangs and federal interference.
More conventional films like Alex Gibney's "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Believe," Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon's "Best of Enemies" and Liz Garbus' "What Happened, Miss Simone?" are also entertaining and engaging documentaries that suggest the nonfiction form needn't be fixed if it's not broken. And what sets these films apart from some of the other more traditional Sundance docs is that they're also cinema, with both a visual strategy and engaging characters.
Gibney's persuasive investigative argument, for example, is bolstered by some creatively staged reenactments—most notably a contentious game of musical chairs played to the Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody," where a folding chair flies through space — and an array of baffled and bewildered ex-Scientologists who come clean about the Church and how they were lead astray by it.
"Best of Enemies" benefits from the screen presence and magnetic charisma of its protagonists: William F. Buckley and Gore Vidal. A chronicle of the two intellectuals' televised battles during the 1968 Presidential Conventions, the film marshals a treasure trove of archival footage to paint a portrait of America's ideological divide. But its media analysis isn't nearly as fun as Buckley and Vidal's stinging linguistic jabs, and one wishes that these two iconic men actually made up more of the film's content. Meanwhile, Garbus' Nina Simone bio-doc is primed for its Netflix streaming premiere, but it's still an elegant and fluidly pieced-together portrait of the legendary singer's highs and lows, political activism and unfortunate downfall.
But where at Sundance can you find films that don't fit into preconceived molds? If Sundance's U.S. Dramatic Competition has become, by and large, a place for more traditional narrative dramas and comedies, populated by name stars, with three-act narrative structures, the festival's U.S. Documentary Competition is analogous: A vast majority of the titles have been crafted according to the PBS school of documentary filmmaking.
Nonfiction outliers at Sundance are far-flung and cast away into other categories of the festival, such as New Frontier ("The Royal Road," "Sam Klemke's Time Machine," "Station to Station") or even the Midnight program, where Rodney Ascher's "The Nightmare" was placed. (His 2012 Sundance entry "Room 237" was relegated to New Frontier). They can also be found in the World Cinema Documentary Competition ("The Visit"), where foreign TV funders are apparently more open to breaking aesthetic boundaries. But you'd think the progressive and forward-thinking programmers at Sundance wouldn't reify old documentary modes in the same way as that hoary organization, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Consider how Olson's admirable cinematic personal photo-essay "The Royal Road," which examines California's history of imperialism, Hitchcock's "Vertigo," and her own sex life, could shake up the documentary conversation if it was in the U.S. Competition? Or Ascher's "The Nightmare," which may be about tapping into people's primal fears and scaring the bejesus out of you, but why is that any less of a valid and serious documentary subject than, say, endangered species, Larry Kramer or young girls in the porn industry?
Or what about poor Sam Klemke? Mention the film about his life to just about anyone at Sundance and you'd undoubtedly get a blank stare. Directed by Matthew Bate ("Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure!"), the film is comprised of video clips from nearly every year of Klemke's life (from 1977 when he was nineteen to 2014). But rather than a "Boyhood"-like portrait of growth, the story ends up chronicling Klemke's weight-gain, failed jobs, and fucked-up life. But director Bate isn't such a cynic, using Klemke's video diary — intercut and intriguingly paralleled with the 1977 Voyager I mission and its Golden Record of humanity — to tell a story about man's desire to define his identity.
Another subjective documentary experience, New York theater producer and playwright Chad Gracia's enjoyably paranoid "The Russian Woodpecker," somehow ended up in the World Competition, even though Gracia is an American.
A fascinating trip down the rabbit hole of Cold War conspiracy theories, the film follows Ukrainian performance artist Fedor Alexandrovich as he searches for a political cause for the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The crucial piece of evidence, theorizes Alexandrovich, involves the "Russian Woodpecker," a giant (though ineffectual) Russian radar system that emits a low-level frequency ever-repeating signal.
Whether Alexandrovich's theory is total nonsense is beside the point: The wild-haired, shifty-eyed character's dedication to exposing Russia's corruption of Ukraine, both past and present, becomes a compelling personal obsession. He uncovers secrets, finds a primary school in the Chernobyl "Exclusive Zone" whose floor is covered with child-sized gas masks, and gets a visit from the Russian secret police. But to what end?
"Every tragedy has a reason," he says. Or does it? Sometimes, "The Russian Woodpecker" reminds us, a documentary needn't be about dispensing facts or finding the answer, but about delivering an experience.

A FINE DAY
The rising, incendiary Los Angeles native guitar maverick Derek Day releases his latest wide sweeping and operatic single, 'Fine Lines' on all streaming platforms, with a visceral and hypnotising accompanying video.
"It's a breakup song with a lover, but also yourself," Derek muses. "Things that can seem so clear at first can actually be obscure." Day describes the track as "metamorphic" and while the song kicks off with a bright, full sound with yearning lyrics, it never settles into the simple repeating chorus structure one might expect. Instead, it embraces a baroque, emotive shape that continues to build as it goes, ending up closer in scope to that of Queen who Derek is a lifelong fan of.
It's an eclectic yet heartfelt ballad from the young artist who Premier Guitar describes as "ambitious, hot-wired, and frying the fretboard," possessing "guitar work with fangs, slightly overdriven and snarling…with metal-esque vocals that could kill."
In pursuing the right sound for this concept, Day and his team pulled a number of disparate elements together: a microphone favored by Frank Sinatra; a Fender Jazzmaster, the signature dreamy quality of which is all over The Cure's biggest hits; a Baldwin piano; and a high-strung Nashville-tuned guitar delivering a rich, shimmering sound. It's as if he has deconstructed and gene-spliced together elements of various romantic sounds from the modern music canon, producing something that feels at once familiar and novel. It's experimentation, but the sort that comes from a deep technical knowledge and curiosity of the musical arts and science.
The track was the organic product of a road trip and a harmonica, hammered out in solitude in stream-of-consciousness bursts that account for its free-form structure. It's a product of our strange times. Amid the maelstrom of stress and anxiety swirling about in a pandemic-era world, Day says he's found himself wanting to "keep things quick and real" in his work, especially in the studio. "Life's too short. I want to be more agile."
This improvisational and collaborative spirit extends to the track's music video. Directed by Vicente Cordero of Industrialism Films, who Day credits as "a great visual artist we were dying to have". Cordero's original pitch centered upon a painter whose every line on the canvas further animates the band. That idea evolved as artists, Laura May Abron and Jimmy Ovadia, were brought on board. In the video, they work opposite each other as they bring the song to life in a bold, polychromatic palette designed by stylist Oda Spross. "These two painters experience all these emotions, but facing away from each other," Day elaborates, "Vicente's constructed a beautiful expression of broken love."
Meanwhile, 'the kid with the energy' continues to write and explore new sounds, experimenting with new instruments, and mainlining archival interviews with talents who influence him. He's digging ever deeper into his creative well, "You've just got to be stupid brutal," he says. 'Really surprise yourself with your honesty, and then you get the best song."
Derek Day's signature sound is driven by a wide variety of influences, including classic rock 'n' roll, R&B, soul, funk, and pop. A guitar virtuoso who marries licky riffs with manic vocalizations, has been welcomed onstage by the likes of Steve Vai, Moby, Ted Nugent, and Slash. Day has plenty to offer hardcore music insiders and casual listeners alike. This unpredictability forms the backbone of a rich and growing sound catalogue.
Vernon Reid of Living Colour says that his young collaborator on previous single 'Click On Me' (over 20K YouTube views and over 35K Spotify streams at time of writing) "plays what's in his heart. There's a bit of Jeff Buckley in his voice, a bit of Freddie Mercury."

Q: Google Analytics Reporting API filters/segements I'm trying to use the Google Analytics Core Reporting API and have the following troubles. I know how to fetch that I want the problem I have is:

*

*I want to use a filter only for specific metrics and not for all of them.

*Is this even possible?

Here is an example how my Reporting "Code" looks like:
Metrics "ga:sessions
         ga:goal6Completions
         ga:goal7Completions
         ga:goal10Completions
         ga:totalEvents
         ga:uniqueEvents"

Dimensions "ga:date"

Filters "ga:eventCategory==customerType"

I have the same problems with segments as with the filters that all metrics all segmented/filtered and only specific metrics should.

A: There really isn't another way other to get the data you want without creating a new request where the filter isn't applied unfortunately.
Just remember that you are only allowed five requests total. To give context, this may only apply to how I use the Reporting API, but I use Google App Script to push data to Google Sheets.
This may or may not be helpful to you, but the reporting code I use I have made available in a repo on GitHub: https://github.com/jessfeliciano/aggregateGoogleAnalyticsReporting/blob/master/objectQueryWithFilter.js
I've included a guide that gives additional information regarding creating requests in general, so it may spark other ways to go about creating your data trees. I hope this helps.


NEWS CENTER - The occupying zionist gangs carried out air strikes on the central and southern part of Gaza.
The zionist occupation gangs on Saturday night launched two aerial attacks on central and southern Gaza, with no reported casualties said Palestine Information Center.
Local sources told that a zionist drone bombed a resistance observation point, east of al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, causing damage to the site.
The spokesperson for the zionist gangs Avichay Adraee claimed a military aircraft targeted a site belonging to Hamas in Gaza in response to the launch of a cluster of balloons carrying an explosive device towards a so-called border area of zionists.
On another attack carried out by a zionist warplane on Sunday night bombed a resistance post in northern Gaza, with no reported casualties.
Local sources told a reporter for the Palestinian Information Center that an occupying zionist drone fired at least one missile at a resistance observation post, which only caused material damage to the site.
In an earlier incident, three Palestinian citizens suffered bullet injuries during a nighttime protest on the Gaza border.
