There never is a good time to lose a franchise quarterback like Ben Roethlisberger to a shoulder injury. But the football gods seemed especially cruel to inflict this injury on the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, of all weeks.
The Steelers will host their AFC North rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, on "Sunday Night Football." Two weeks later, the teams will meet in Baltimore. The AFC North will be decided over the next month, and the Steelers might have to roll with backup Byron Leftwich to keep them afloat.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin would only say Monday night that Roethlisberger was being evaluated after the game, although a team source later told NFL.com and NFL Network's Albert Breer the intial diagnosis is a sprained shoulder.
While Roethlisberger underwent tests at a local hospital, his Steelers teammates went about the business of narrowly defeating the hapless Kansas City Chiefs 16-13 in overtime. The Steelers need all the wins they can get because this season is about to become a lot more complicated.
We had Roethlisberger listed in the top five of our MVP rankings at midseason because he has been carrying his team all season. Roethlisberger overcame a shoddy offensive line and running game to keep Pittsburgh afloat early. The rest of the team started catching up in recent weeks, but it's hard to imagine Leftwich beating Baltimore. It only takes one hit to shake up a playoff race.
"We definitely need our leader back," Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace told NFL.com and NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala after the game.
Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley's system is brand new to Leftwich, too. He hasn't had the chance to get many practice snaps, and the concept of a "quick pass" offense is somewhat negated by Leftwich's slow delivery.
If Roethlisberger is out for an extended period, the Steelers' running game and defense will have to carry them. But this isn't the same Steelers defense you know despite its lofty ranking. Troy Polamalu remains out with a calf injury. Ryan Clark suffered an apparent concussion Monday night. The pass rush only has been decent.
1. Roethlisberger still has a long time to recover and possibly return for a playoff push.
2. The AFC is so watered down that the Steelers could afford a slump. Even if the Indianapolis Colts don't collapse down the stretch, what other AFC teams are ready to go on a run and grab a wild-card spot? The Cincinnati Bengals? The Miami Dolphins?
It's hard enough to win division rivalry games where you're at full strength. Playing without Roethlisberger would be a devastating blow for the Steelers. Even a Week 12 game at Cleveland would be far from guaranteed.
Nothing is going to come easily for the 2012 Steelers now.

Looking back at Chuck Norris' Invasion U.S.A.
Chuck Norris beats up Russia in Invasion U.S.A. Here's Matt's look-back at a big, blustery, silly action movie...
By Matt Edwards | September 24, 2014 |
Invasion U.S.A. has the greatest film poster ever made. It's just so incredibly tough. Stare for too long at the Invasion U.S.A. poster and you risk a chemical balance in your body. In fact, 75% of Olympics drug scandals have been linked to athletes becoming exposed to the Invasion U.S.A. poster. Don't feel sorry for them; the poster is listed as a banned substance and athletes who spend time looking at it are doing so to gain a competitive edge. Simply put; it's not fair to the other shot-putters for you to harness the power of Chuck Norris.
As keen as I am to tell you about this Norris-starring 80s action movie, it would be irresponsible of me not to show you the poster first.
You'll never read this sentence on Den of Geek again, but I'd advise you to take a moment to ice down your groin before proceeding with the article.
Right, now onto the actual film. Invasion U.S.A. starts with brutal, merciless boat murder, which would never have happened if Chuck Norris was a mermaid. The water slaughter is perpetrated by Rostov, who leads a small army into the United States of America to sort of take it over and wreck it. Bastard! The US armed forces and police aren't prepared to deal with the attack (I imagine that nowadays the US military has a button they can press for situations like this. A big red 'call Chuck Norris' button), which manifests itself as lots of acts of terrorism across the country. Chuck Norris is in a constant state of readiness, though, so Americans can sleep soundly in their beds, assuming they're not woken up by all of the agonised villain screaming.
Invasion U.S.A. is essentially the account of a small army conducting tests to find out how many heavily armed killers are 'enough' to take out Chuck Norris.
Further experimentation is required.
Invasion U.S.A. is utterly ridiculous and kind of brilliant. It has a fairly slow first half hour, a pretty fun middle where the action picks up and then a finale so violent that 2 out of every 5 football hooligans find it 'a bit much'. It's constructed in a fairly episodic way, after its drowsy set-up, with a collection of action sequences strung together, paying little mind to story or character.
While Norris' Matt Hunter isn't a particularly interesting hero (we'll come to him in a bit), Richard Lynch's Rostov is a wonderfully slimy, unlikeable villain. It's entirely down the performance, too, as on paper there's little more to the character than 'foreign', 'brutal' and 'furious with Chuck Norris'. It's a good performance; Rostov comes across as a creepy dude who's full of humanity instead of just a cardboard evil brute.
Rostov is haunted by nightmares of Chuck Norris, which is fair. He demands that his army take Norris out before they attempt to invade the US, which is as solid a military strategy as I've ever heard. Disclaimer: I don't hear a lot of military strategies. That said, the way the film plays out suggests that Rostov might not be familiar with the term strategy at all. In the final showdown, he leads his army into a huge office-block type building before declaring "it's a trap". When your plan is 'attack Chuck Norris', and the trap is that he's there, it's difficult for us to know how to help you. The majority of his soldiers wisely opt to take on the entire US army outside instead, while those who remain engage in a game of machine gun hide and seek with Chuck Norris. An incredible amount of death ensues.
Rostov's plans throughout the film are pure bullshit. He's clearly got a problem with scale. There's no way his army is big enough to take over the entire U.S.A. (although the film certainly isn't short of extras) and the tactics they use, small attacks to frighten people and create social tensions and distrust, don't seem like they were the result of forethought by someone who quite understood how physically big the US is. As an example, Rostov and a colleague turn up in a suburban neighbourhood and start exploding houses with a rocket launcher. If their plan is to blow up America one house at a time this invasion is going to take fucking ages. It will take so long that people will make cheap 'Peter Jackson should make a film about it!' jokes. By the time they finish Americans will have had ample time to rebuild half of what's been blown up.
The blowing up houses scene is a fascinating one, as it demonstrates a major difference between modern action films and this Cannon produced beauty. In the 80s actions movie tradition of doing something a bit uncomfortable to sell how evil your bad guy is, Invasion U.S.A. shows us a lovely family putting up their Christmas decorations just before it explodes them. Now, I did find watching a young child stagger from the remains of her recently blown-up house a little over the top, but it felt more honest than the recent trend of action movies showing violence as consequence-free in order to secure a more profitable 12A age rating. Invasion U.S.A. thoroughly earns its 18 rating.
Another potentially bothersome thing about Invasion U.S.A. is that it is, at times, very guilty of pandering to its audience (terrorists discuss amongst themselves that they will use America's freedom against it). Made during The Cold War, the whole thing is essentially Chuck Norris beats up Russia. It's particularly annoying because they don't even really commit to it. If you're going to be nationalistic and pandering, really go for it and show us Chuck Norris nude, wrapped in the American flag, sexing an eagle. Cowards.
There are a couple of moments addressing the realities of a war in America and they're actually quite interesting. Children are evacuated and there's a town store having to limit what people can buy because it's running out of food. This is not the right film to properly explore the idea of an invaded America, and they quickly segue from these bits into more fitting 'shot-right-in-the-fucking-face' bits, but I think it's good that they're there. It adds a sniff of depth to the film, or at least suggests a little thoughtfulness from the team behind the film (thanks director Joseph Zito and writers Aaron Norris, Chuck Norris and James Bruner!).
It's also due praise for being such a big, extravagant production. There are so many extras on screen that at times you might actually believe Chuck Norris is in peril, and there is such large scale destruction that you're left in no doubt that he actually isn't. Invasion U.S.A. is chock-full of tanks, guns, helicopters and kabooms. The final battle features so much fire that there was a flame drought that summer, even though that contradicts how fire works.
Now let's move onto Chuck Norris. His character Matt Hunter was once generously described as a character (in this article, at the beginning of this sentence). Chuck Norris' Matt Hunter's character arc is essentially;
Nah, fuck it.
Ugh, fuck you.
Hey, fuck you!
FUCK YOU!
He mostly just swans about being Chuck Norris, shooting people and occasionally reciting words that he seems both bored by and unfamiliar with. Hunter is a former CIA agent. He declines a request to come back to work to take out Rostov, only for Rostov to attack his home, exploding it and killing Norris' dear friend. Chuck then decides that he will kill Rostov and his goons after all, and just purposefully gets on with doing it. He's not a character that fusses a lot. It's surprising that the film works so well in regard to Norris, as he's never been the warmest actor and it doesn't lean on his renowned martial arts skills at all. He does bring a certain swagger to the role; a bearded bastard confidently machine-gunning anyone who steps into his path while, for the most part, clad entirely in denim. It might be that his seeming confusion at or disinterest in everything going on around him works in his favour; every time he's on screen he essentially shrugs at the film and then starts shooting.
I suppose that's how Invasion U.S.A. best utilises Norris; by basically making him the kind of superhero the internet has joked about him being for the last ten years. His is introduced to us helping to wrangle a gator. Shortly afterwards, he chainsaws some wood. Not as part of the plot, but you know, Chuck Norris and a chainsaw. The bad guys attack. Coming for Chuck Norris while he's chainsawing, at the height of his sexual powers, seems daft to me. It proves so.
A typical action sequence in Invasion U.S.A. starts with Chuck Norris driving about in his truck, wearing leather gloves and listening to smooth jazz. Then he will pull over somewhere and an incredible shootout will occur. Occasionally he gets impatient and is forced to start some kind of in-transit ruckus, such as in the scene where he drives his truck into a shopping mall and smashes everything and everyone into smithereens. The end result is a tinsel-draped bloodbath. Merry Chuckmas.
Much of Chuck Norris' heroism, such as the previously mentioned Xmas mall mania, comes from him coincidentally or unexplainably being in the right place at the right time. I think the implication is that he might be god. I'm not one for trying to dig up a subtext where there clearly isn't one, but when Norris gives himself up to the police, or sacrifices himself, the scene is very clearly trying to evoke crucifixion.
Ok, so it's a fairly relaxed crucifixion, but still. Also, do you see his smooth, exposed chest? That's not part of the theory but I thought it was worth checking that you'd noticed. Anyway, after his sacrifice Norris comes back from the dead, or from arrest, only it was actually a plan all along so it's actually not like a religious subtext at all. Oh, and while I'm no Bible scholar, my understanding of Jesus' return from the dead is that he didn't blow anyone out of a window with a rocket launcher.
Oh, and Jesus wasn't god, right? So there are some holes in this theory, although I'd argue that it really makes you think. There's certainly no denying that Chuck Norris has a beard for the entire runtime.
So, Invasion U.S.A. is the film you'd probably imagine Chuck Norris in if you had only heard about him through internet memes. Whether that's a positive or a negative is on you. Personally, I think it's tremendous fun. A big, blustery and silly action movie.

New book published in controversy over Australian Aboriginal history
By James Conachy
A yearlong controversy over Australian Aboriginal history has entered a new stage with the launch in Melbourne and Sydney of a new book, Whitewash: On Keith Windschuttle's Fabrication of Aboriginal History (Black Inc, Melbourne, 2003, ISBN: 0975076906).
The book is a collection of essays written to refute the allegations made in a 2002 work The Fabrication of Aboriginal History by right-wing author Keith Windschuttle. Windschuttle has asserted that major Australian historians since the 1960s, to whom he refers as the "orthodox school", have deliberately fabricated or exaggerated evidence of massacres and ill treatment of the indigenous people by the early British colonialists. His book—the first volume of an intended three—specifically attacks those historians who have written on the fate of the Aborigines on the island of Tasmania, off the southeast coast of mainland Australia. The island's Aboriginal population of between 4,000 and 7,000 was virtually wiped out or relocated to the remote Flinders Island by 1835, just 32 years after the arrival of the first British settlers.
Damning the "orthodox history" as "white guilt for genocide", Windschuttle argued that the destruction of Tasmania's Aborigines could not be attributed to British colonial rule, but was the result of disease, and the savagery, ignorance and backwardness of the hunter-gatherer Aboriginal people themselves.
Windschuttle has dismissed as ideologically-motivated exaggerations the accepted estimates of the number of Aborigines killed by settlers. Employing the narrowest standard possible, he only accepts as evidence of "deliberate killings" those cases that were publicly reported or recorded. He has categorised the bitter clashes in Tasmania during the early 1830s—known as the Black War—as "a minor crime wave by Europeanised black bushrangers [criminals] and an outbreak of robbery, assault and murder by tribal Aborigines".
In a comment in the Australian newspaper last December, Windschuttle declared: "True, the full-blood Tasmanian Aborigines did die out in the 19th century. But this was almost entirely a consequence of two factors: the long isolation that had left them vulnerable to introduced diseases, especially influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis; and the fact that they traded and prostituted their women to such an extent that they lost the ability to reproduce themselves."
Windschuttle's work has gone far beyond the realms of an academic debate or discussion. He does not simply disagree with the interpretations of historians but accuses them of outright lies and deception. Moreover, he lauds the settlement of Tasmania as among the most benign in the history of colonialism and alleges that those historians who have documented the extermination of the Aboriginal people have promoted a false equation between Australia's colonialisation and the Nazi Holocaust.
The main conduit for Windschuttle's accusations has been the media, above all the Australian and other publications owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Limited. Right-wing columnists and talk-show hosts have promoted his views and his book as a major contribution to an understanding of Australia's past. Prime Minister John Howard made clear his sympathy for Windschuttle by awarding him a centenary medal for services to history.
In response, Melbourne academic Robert Manne commissioned 18 historians and other academics to answer Windschuttle's accusations. The compilation, Whitewash, was formally launched on August 23 at the Melbourne Writers Festival, and a subsequent event was held in Sydney on September 2 at the inner-city bookstore Gleebooks.
Manne told the Sydney launch: "The thing that links [orthodox historians] is what I think has linked... 'civilised opinion' ever since the 1830s, and that is that some terrible tragedy happened. What people understood by that was that not only was the way of life of a people of tens of thousands of years, but the people itself was... more or less destroyed... By the 1870s, as they used to say, no full-blooded Tasmanian Aboriginal was alive... That is the 'orthodox school'."
Manne described Windschuttle's Fabrication as "one of the most astonishingly reactionary books that has been published in Australia for a very long time and taken seriously". He declared he was "genuinely astonished" at the support given to it by the Australian newspaper and indicted the Murdoch press for providing Windschuttle with an audience he would not otherwise have obtained.
The Sydney launch was also addressed by Whitewash contributors: historian Lyndall Ryan, whose book The Aboriginal Tasmanians is one of the main targets of Windschuttle's attacks; Dirk Moses, a historian at the University of Sydney; and academics Martin Krygier and Robert van Krieken.
Ryan spoke of her shock that her 1981 book "would be seen to be so contentious and so threatening to Australians in the twenty-first century" and characterised the campaign to promote Windschuttle's charges as "a very vicious campaign in which no holds have been barred". She referred to journalists contacting her vice-chancellor demanding to know if and when she would be dismissed from her academic position. In Whitewash, Ryan responds in detail to Windschuttle's accusations that her earlier work fabricated evidence of killings of Aborigines.
Dirk Moses used the book launch to outline the central theme of his contribution "Revisionism and Denial". Moses placed Windschuttle's work in the context of a wave of nationalist historical revisionism taking place in a number of countries, including the US, Ireland, Germany and Japan.
Moses referred to the similarities between the narrow standards of evidence used by Windschuttle and those being employed by other revisionists, pointing to the "forensic notion of direct eyewitnesses or official confessions of guilt". This definition was used by Holocaust deniers such as David Irving to argue that "because there are no direct surviving eyewitnesses of gas chambers... therefore they did not exist or we cannot prove they exist". Japanese revisionist historians have likewise dismissed the oral testimony of women who claim they were forced into prostitution by the Japanese military, demanding instead that official reports and records admitting to the crime be produced.
Martin Krygier pointed out that Windschuttle was "determined, desperate at times" to purge the history of Australian settlement of anything negative. Windschuttle had declared in the introduction to his book that at stake "is our understanding of the character of our nation and of the calibre of the British civilisation that we brought here in 1788". Krygier described Windschuttle's method as "setting up an extreme dichotomy" between viewing the settlers as the equivalent of Nazis or viewing the crimes against the Aboriginal people as "much ado about nothing". Krygier insisted: "One should always ask when asked 'do you think it was like the Nazis or are we home free' if there is another alternative."
The defence of historical truth against Windschuttle's falsifications is a critical issue for the Australian and international working class. Over the coming weeks the World Socialist Web Site will be publishing further material on this controversy.

An Audience with Russell T. Davies feat. Lewis & Paulo
April 15, 2015 April 15, 2015 • hattersleysmith
Russell T. Davies (Stephen Russell Davies OBE) began his television career as a graphic artist in 1985 after a friend recommended he chat to the producer of BBC's children's show Why Don't You. In 1986, he was called into the producer's office and invited to write a script for the show. He subsequently became the show's official writer and later producer. Time-shift to 1994 and Russell, then a soap opera producer, decided to make the leap and devote himself to professional writing full-time. Queer As Folk, Bob and Rose, Dr. Who, Cucumber, Banana and Tofu later, and he's established himself as one of the most influential screenwriters in British TV.
And the man himself happened to drop by Channel 4 for a master-class.
Russell was also joined by two recent NFTS graduates – Lewis Arnold (Directing Fiction MA) and Paulo Pandolpho (Editing MA) – who worked with him on his latest C4 drama series. The pair also worked closely together at the school on projects including the award-winning Echo.
ECHO from Lewis Arnold on Vimeo.
So what did we takeaway…?
"Be determined. Just write. Just get on with it."
If you want to get on as a professional writer, pick up a pen. Too many would-be creatives allow their ideas to float around without producing anything tangible. Make your ideas concrete by putting them on paper/screen.
"Demystify the world as you go along."
As you experience life you accumulate different people, places, perspectives, layers. Don't attempt to make sense of everything at once; observe and develop your worldview piece by piece and let it influence your writing organically. 3. "The best notes you'll get are your own." Once you've completed a script get notes from producers, commissioners, crew, family and friends, and listen to what they have to say. But most importantly, make your own, be critical of your own work and stay true to your instincts.
"The awful truth about writing is that writers write sitting down."
Writing is a passive activity, so creators must fight to put energy into their work. Lethargy kills momentum, so it's important to liven up your environment, perhaps with relevant music to add rhythm and punch to scenes.
"Get yourself out there"
Have an open attitude to your work and build an online profile to share your films across platforms such as Vimeo. This will put you in front of influencers who may want to work with you as a result.
"Escape your logline."
Humans tend to stick to their loglines – 'I am fat', 'I am weird', 'I am unlucky'. Both television drama and life are juxtapositions of tears and laughter, constructed from layers of happiness and sadness. Everyone is living on many levels, so ignore self-imposed stereotypes and explore the intricate details that make up a human personality.
"Draft Zero is a load of sh*t."
Only hand in scripts that are TX ready.
"Build relationships"
At the end of every day on set, Russell would text every cast member with individual notes – this allowed him to build invaluably strong working relationships with his actors. Producing a series is a rich, collaborate process, so it's vital to develop close relationships with the people you're working with, so make sure to give extensive and honest notes to show you have thought hard about their work.
"Celebrate the domestic"
Indeed, familial character and emotion are central to Russell's writing. For example, when Russell decided to reincarnate Dr Who in 2005, he felt as though he was updating a relic and he knew that the revival had to place British, domestic values at its heart. In this way, he could construct characters, in particular the companions, from their family roots, evoking audience recognition and engagement. 10. "Never work with people who say I love new writers" They tend to love the power that comes with working with the inexperienced and enthusiastic.

DENVER -- Rockies right fielder Carlos Gonzalez grew up in Venezuela amid political uncertainty and occasional violence. Now he understands that much of what goes on in his home country has grown out of need.
That's why Gonzalez, through his foundation, teamed with Project C.U.R.E. on Friday to deliver $500,000 of life-saving medical equipment to the Sinamaica Hospital in north-central Venezuela. Gonzalez's foundation has helped provide hospital beds, wheelchairs and technical equipment to Sinamaica, a smaller city that doesn't have the resources available in larger population centers.
"It's rough," Gonzalez said. "But growing up over there, that's the only thing you know. It doesn't affect you that much. But being here for half my life -- I was 15 when I came here and I'm 30 -- I realize how difficult it is for people over there to find medicine, find food and get opportunities.
"We never forget where we come from. When we do something special on the field, the people of Venezuela feel proud. It's a great way for us to give back to people that are always there for us, no matter what."

Gonzalez's wife, Indonesia, and a Project C.U.R.E. representative toured the area a couple of months ago, and will follow up by making sure the equipment arrived properly and is used as intended.
"She has more time than I do because I'm playing baseball all the time, but she keeps me in touch and lets me know how everything is going to go, to make sure things go the way we planned," Gonzalez said.

C# language uses float variable type to store real number values in floating point (negative and positive numbers that contain a fractional part). The C# compiler will allocate 32 bits (4 bytes) to store values of type float. A float variable type can store values with a precision of six or seven decimals in the interval of 3.4E-38 and 3.4E+38.
This section, as many others that will follow, represents real numbers using scientific notation. This system allows to represent any number utilizing a single digit to the left of the point, an unlimited number of digits to the right of the point, and an exponent using a power of 10. When you calculate the real value of the number, multiply the number (mantissa) with the value of 10 to the x power (where x represents the exponent). For instance, number 3.1415967E+7 equals to 31415967.0, or 3.1415967 * 107.
Without the suffix f, the number is treated as a double and generates a compiler error.

Q: transforming hierarchy table into bridge I have this original table:
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Hierarchies') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Hierarchies

CREATE TABLE #Hierarchies
    (
      [HierarchyId] [INT] NOT NULL ,
      [HierarchyName] NVARCHAR(MAX),
      [ParentHierarchyId] [INT]
        CONSTRAINT [PK_Hierarchies]
        PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [HierarchyId] ASC )
        WITH ( PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF,
               IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON,
               ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON )
    )
ON  [PRIMARY]

INSERT INTO #Hierarchies ([HierarchyId], [HierarchyName], [ParentHierarchyId])
SELECT 1 , 'A', NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 , 'B', 1
UNION ALL
SELECT 3 , 'C', 1
UNION ALL
SELECT 4 , 'D', 2

SELECT * FROM #Hierarchies

SELECT
    b.HierarchyId,
    a.HierarchyId
FROM #Hierarchies a
CROSS JOIN
 #Hierarchies b
 ORDER BY b.HierarchyId

and would like to transform it into this format:
ParentId    ChildId LevelsRemoved
1   1   0
1   2   1
1   3   1
1   4   2
2   2   0
2   4   1
3   3   0

Before I try to implement the wheel, I was wondering if someone could be so kind and point me to an existing sql script for this? Thanks.

A: I didn't get why you want to avoid CTE. Here is a solution with CTE.
WITH Descendant AS(
   SELECT HierarchyId AS ParentId, HierarchyId As ChildId, 0 AS LevelsRemoved
   FROM #Hierarchies

   UNION ALL

   SELECT D.ParentId, H.HierarchyId AS ChildId, D.LevelsRemoved + 1 AS LevelsRemoved
   FROM Descendant D
   JOIN Hierarchies H ON D.ChildId = H.ParentHierarchyId
)
SELECT * FROM Descendant

Jk.chris @ online.no SMS: 004799598070.See also:http://the-heavenly-blog.janchristensen.net/
No. 1572: Prophet Jeremy Hoff believes that Jan Aage Torp has revealed himself by announcing me, which is contrary to what God's Word says, as believers, to judge between brothers, not worldly authorities!
No. 1572:
Prophet Jeremy Hoff believes that Jan Aage Torp has revealed himself by announcing me, which is contrary to what God's Word says, as believers, to judge between brothers, not worldly authorities!
Picture of Prophet Jeremy Hoff who supports me and who thinks the foolsPostel and "Pastor" Jan Aage Torp have revealed themselves in front of all Christian Norway and all others as a man who does not follow God's word. The scripture clearly states that one neither shall marry again after a divorce. And the scriptures warn against notifying each other, as this is something that the Lord through the congregation or even will clean up in!
Non-worldly authorities who do not know God or have the prerequisites to understand spiritual and theological questions and then handle it!
Or to put it another way, my fight is not against Torp, but against Satan when Satan and the seductive spirits use Torp rather than anyone else.
It's an attack against me and the heavenly blog because of my preaching against upbringed preachers that Satan hates more than anything else!
Therefore, that Torp can be used, it shows that he is like King Saul, a dropout.
The scripture clearly states that neither shall any other politician report other believers or marry again after divorce.
What does Jan Aage Torp do?
Jesus said that you are either with or against me, not a golden middle way.
Jan Aage Torp is not a Christian, he lives in anguish and stands for unbiblical teachings by giving himself out to be an apostle.
He has received this wicked world in my race against me and the heavenly blog.
Scripture warns against notifying each other in the apostle Paul's letter to the Corinthians.
It costs Jan Aage Torp nothing to break God's commandments and accept God's command if it is for his benefit as King Saul did!
The alliance against me and the heavenly blog is the seductive spirits behind.
Scripture is very clear that we should not report each other but in the congregation we are going to treat things.
It is clear that in order to get me acquitted, this is now a "match" between Meling and the courts.
But whoever is behind this misery and who will answer God with this.
Then I'm convinced it's Jan Aage Torp in front of someone else.
Polite and everybody else is actually his "obedient" lakeier.
But who does the village earn? It's either Satan or God. Then we talk about the spiritual area, which of these two belongs to him.
Is that God? No, that's Satan.
How to know it
There are two kingdoms that oppose each other. If you belong to God and his kingdom, you follow His laws and live as a citizen of God's Kingdom.
Torp lives just like a citizen of Satan and his kingdom. Such as King Saul as the card swings in his life if it was to his advantage.
Otherwise, he did, as it suited him, simply lived for his flesh and the old man.
Now I consider the police and the people around there as wicked and deepest seen "obedient" poodle for the evil one.
In other words, the scripture warns us not to mix the children of the world into our conflict, this is something we as believers will settle between us!
Jan Aage Torp does not care about God and his words. Everything he does as he desires, it's only for his benefit!
1 Cor. 6. 1. Does any of you warn when he has a case against his neighbor, seeking them from the unrighteous and not of the saints? 2 Or do you not know that the Saints should judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge in the least things? 3 Do not you know that we should judge angels? How much more then in timely things! 4 When you have things about temporal things, then you put them to judges who are unaware of anything in the congregation! 5 To shame on you I say so. So there is no man in your midst, not one who can distinguish thirteen from his brother? 6 But brother leads cause to brother, and for the court of lawyer! 7 It is already a loss for you to have things against each other. Why do not you suffer injustice either? Why do you not harm either? 8 But you do wrong and harm, and it is against brethren! 9 Or do you not know that those who do wrong will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Here, Jan Aage Torp has done injustice as he has also done with entering into a new marriage. Then the scripture says that he will not inherit the kingdom of God!
When I pointed out this was to live in horror, wrote about this. Then Satan made Jan Aage Torp 'short process' to come up with a fictional police report.
Had he followed the word of God, he would have gone to the church and put it forward in prayer. And asked them to take care of the matter. Everything but police report, but he revealed himself as Jeremy Hoff clearly points out.
Do we assume that Torp has sent a lot of personal mailer to me and my supporters. Then we understand that we are dealing with a person who is not himself himself violated, but violates others. Here is some personal mailer he sent to my friends in southern Norway:
This writes Torp:
I notice that the public co-founders (2 of 4 founders) of the 2013 party, Randi & Johnny Ingwersen, are strong defenders of blogger Jan Kåre Christensen, who harasses, defamates, bully and cleans all who are divorced, reprimanded and who He, by contrast, dislikes (and there are many). Here there is a turbid cohesion between "Norway's Christian" / Magnar Tanem on the one hand, and Jan Kåre Christensen's u-heavenly blog, on the other hand, linked by Randi & Johnny Ingwersen.
Perhaps there are even more who are involved in this intercourse?
Creating a political party is not a private hidden thing. Politics is public. A party, registered in Brønnøysund, is public. Very strange that you have not thought about this. Are you just as superficial in everything else?
That you as a central founder of a party as a program-based criminalization of divorce, at the same time, is the only open supporter of JKC's selected bullying of divorced / revered - it is extremely interesting. And you are a public person, Mrs Ingwersen, without JKC pointing out your divorce and remarriage. Interesting .... Here it points out of double standards ....
Jan-Aage Torp
Go on, madam Ingwersen!
You will certainly get good advice from JKC, Magnar Tanem and others of the same caliber and judgment.
I have noticed your senseless support statements to JKC. It says most of that. When I discovered this morning's central role last year in the founding of Norway's Christians, I realized that we are dealing with a small environment with highly unbiblical views and views. Think it's ok to elucidate these relationships so we understand how pathetic they are. No doubt you belong to JKC and Norway's Christian, based on your own writings and fresh founding actions.
Final Comment:
Jan Aage Torp has never felt offended, but he is the offender. And that he hates me and the heavenly blog because we have pointed out his double moral. He can warn against the gays, and in the strongest terms.
And as a result, do you even feel sorry for being remarried!
He can receive 1.5 million of the Serber, and afterwards say he will keep the money he has spent. When we say he will pay back the money, then we'll hear that said Petar K is very sick! In other words, we face a wolf in sheep's clothes in «Pastor» Jan Aage Torp. One of the "bosses" in the kingdom of darkness!

....but you need to know what you're doing, prepare properly and make choices that are viable. A course like this is longer than some others; but it will put things into perspective and can make a lot of difference to your chances of success." Clients... that have completed courses with ACS that we have spoken to, have all been extremely happy. Leanne & myself are more than happy with the assistance we received and the prompt attention."
CORE STUDIES - four units of compulsory subjects for all students. ie. Office Practices, Management, Business Operations and Marketing Foundations.
STREAM STUDIES -three units in the specialisation ie. Bookkeeping I, Entrepeneurship and Advertising & Promotions.
INDUSTRY PROJECT -"Work experience or a workplace project" of 200 hrs involving approved work experience in a small business. The project specifically aims to provide the student with the opportunity to apply and integrate skills and knowledge developed through various areas of formal study.
Click on the course title to view more on each individual module.
Develops basic office skills covering use of equipment, communication systems (telephone, fax, etc) and office procedures such as filing, security, workplace organisations, etc.
Develops knowledge of basic business operations and procedures (eg. types of businesses, financial management, business analysis, staffing, productivity, etc) and the skills to develop a 12 month business plan.
Develops knowledge of management structures, terminology, supervision, recruitment and workplace health and safety.
Develops a broad understanding of marketing and specific skills in writing advertisements, undertaking market research, developing an appropriate marketing plan and selling.
This is normally done after completing all of the other modules. It is intended as a "learning experience" that brings a perspective and element of reality to the Modules you have studied. The school is very flexible in terms of how you achieve this requirement, and can negotiate to approve virtually any situation which can be seen as "learning through involvement in real life situations that have a relevance to your studies"
This involves working in a job that has relevance to what you have been studying. For some students this may be a job they already have. (In some instances, credit may be even granted for work prior to studies). In other instances, this may be either paid or voluntary work which is found and undertaken after completing the other modules. Proof must be provided, and normally this is done by submitting one or more references or statements from an employer. It may also be satisfied by a discussion between the employer and the school in person or on the phone. The must be an indication that you have skills and an awareness of your industry, which is sufficient for you to work in a position of responsibility.
This project may be based on applications in the work place and specifically aims to provide the student with the opportunity to apply and integrate skills and knowledge developed through various areas of formal study.
Students will design this project in consultation with a tutor to involve industry based activities in the area of specialized study which they select to follow in the course. The project outcomes may take the form of a written report, folio, visuals or a mixture of forms. Participants with relevant, current or past work experience will be given exemption from this project if they can provide suitable references from employers that show they have already fulfilled the requirements of this project.
Students will be assessed on how well they achieve the goals and outcomes they originally set as part of their negotiations with their tutor. During a project, students will present three short progress reports. These progress reports will be taken into account when evaluating the final submission. The tutor must be satisfied that the work submitted is original.
Workplace learning hours may also be satisfied through attending or being involved with meetings conducted by industry bodies such as professional associations; or attending seminars which are attended by industry professionals. Any opportunity for observation and networking may be seen as a valid option.
Q. Are these studies recognised?
A. ACS has an excellent international reputation.
We maintain credentials or memberships with a range of professional bodies.
Q. Will this get me a job?
A. We rarely hear of students having difficulties with employment once a course has been successfully completed. Our courses are designed to make you employable! Having said this though; there is always more to getting a job than just study. Plenty of university graduates end up unemployed. We try to develop more than just knowledge in order to help you avoid such situations.
A. Assessment is holistic (We consider not only exam results, but also assignments, and all interaction you have throughout the course with your tutor). If you don't satisfy requirements, you are always given opportunities to resit exams or resubmit assignments.
Q. What support will I get?
A. Lots more than most colleges. Our priority is to support our students. We have academic staff on duty daily -both in the UK, and in Australia. This means that you can phone or email us and get in touch 16 out of 24 hrs, every working day. Our policy is that student phone calls and emails are given number 1 priority. It is rare that they are not answered on the same working day as when we receive them.
Our academics provide mentoring and careers or business advice whenever requested; at no additional cost to our students.
Q. How can I be sure I choose the right course?
What we sell our product or service for is definitely a major part of how successful a business is. If you do not sell your product for the right price, it can impact on your profit.
Finding the optimum price for your product is essential. You need to determine whether the price is right, but how do you work out the right price for a product?
If you are offering a service, then you can begin by looking at industry recommended standards for hourly rates. You might also find out the range of fees that others in your region are charging for the same, or a similar, service. If you, or your staff, are relatively inexperienced you may begin at the lower end of the price range and gradually increase fees as your business and experience grows.
Someone with specialist skills, or a great deal of experience, would be more likely to charge at the upper end of the range. The important factor here though is not to overcharge. Clients and customers will feel aggrieved if they think they are paying too much for your service, no matter how skilled or qualified you are. Once again, it is a question of striking a balance between what you could or should be charging and what people are happy to pay. Don't sell yourself short, but don't overcharge.
If you are selling products then you have to sell them at a profit to keep your business afloat. If you can buy in bulk, then you can usually buy your products at a lower price and sell them at a lower price if you need to, or you want to make more sales. This is what the big supermarkets and department stores do. It is also why they can put on sales where prices are slashed by up to 70-80%.
If you are selling a unique product then you can charge more for it since you have little direct competition. Nevertheless, even if you are selling something unique you need to be careful about not setting your prices too high. If you do, people will source an alternative or simply not buy your product. You also run the risk that others who have observed your high prices will then copy your product and undercut your prices.
If you are the only outlet for a particular product in a particular area then you may be able to set higher charges for the product e.g. a petrol service station in a remote region or the only grocery store in a holiday resort.
If you sell a wide range of products a simple method of setting the price is to apply the same mar-up to each product. Let's say product X costs you $10.00. If you were to mark-up all your products by 50% you would sell product X for $10.00 + 50% = $15.00.
This method might be useful if other methods are too complicated but it tells you little about the rest of your business and how well you are doing overall.
Other methods give you more understanding and greater control over price setting. The most crucial thing to know is how much your product costs overall. This will help you to determine how much mark-up to add to your price (and how many you need to sell) in order to make a profit.
The cost of a product is not simply what it costs your business to buy it in the first place. It also includes your fixed costs.

by Ghoulish Delights
On the evening of August 20th, 1917, the crew of German U-Boat U-29 discovered a small statue of unknown origins and brought it aboard their craft. Over the next several days, these men underwent an unimaginable ordeal of brutality, madness, and horror.

HorrorShow Hotdog
presents the movie Spellcaster with a live comedy commentary
HSHD have seen a lot of bad movies over the past 55 episodes, but none so deliciously bad as Spellcaster. This movie's got everything you could ever want, if what you want is Adam Ant as a dapper Satan, the non-union equivalent of Cyndi Lauper, and a French-girl-eating chair. We're presenting the movie rifftrax style, augmented with (potentially) hilarious jokes from Josh, Matt, and Adam.
RECYCLE-YOUR-COSTUME DANCE PARTY
Halloween's over? Raise your costume from the dead and join us as we dance the night away on the Southern stage. We'll have a DJ in house blasting tunes through the Southern's awesome sound system as you shake it like it's rot...ting. Plus we'll have a bloodstained photobooth for you and your friends!


How is it that the simplest things in life offer the greatest gifts? I find that my happiest moments are the quiet ones sitting in the company of soulful canine and feline companions.
I love the gentle energy that fills a room during these times. My soul feels still and quiet and my life has meaning and purpose.
What a gift, that for this moment, I get to do what I love for a living. I enter the new year feeling blessed and grateful.
