Selected highlights from this sermon
God loves truth and hates lies. Whether we are serving as a witness in a courtroom or bantering in an everyday conversation, He expects us to be truthful. That means we must spurn exaggeration, slander, and bragging.
Even our actions are tied to the command, "Do not bear false witness." Our choices are often deceptive since we desire to portray ourselves in a positive light. God values integrity, so will we bring our hearts of untruthfulness to the only One can cleanse us?
Basically you and I are dishonest. We are born with a bent toward deception. All of us are. In order to protect our reputation or to get money, or for one reason or another, usually to make ourselves look good, we break the commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness."
I've never yet met a person who has told me that he hasn't told a lie. I can imagine somebody might do that today and if they do I'll simply say that's one more to write down in their ledger. Right?
I'll never forget when I was about ten. Those of you who are in that age bracket listen carefully. I was brought up on a farm and my father came to me one day. It was my responsibility to feed the chickens at five o'clock every afternoon. I walked into the garage. He asked me whether or not I had fed the chickens. It was somewhat after five. Oh, I knew I had not done it with any degree of regularity, and so I lied. I said yes, I had. My father believed me. Ten or fifteen minutes later I left the garage and I went and I got that bucket full of wheat and I went and fed the chickens. I remember how good it felt. You know, usually we talk about guilt associated with sin. Well, I don't remember guilt. I just knew that it felt so good because I had lied and I had gotten away with it, and the chickens were fed. Nobody had incurred any harm as a result of it and I remember to this day thinking to myself, "All summer I'm going to do things this way. If I am asked I am going to make myself look good. I'm going to lie and then I'm going to do it later."
So about a week later I was asked again. "Did you feed the chickens?" I said yes. Well, of course I didn't leave immediately to go do what I had forgotten to do. That would look too obvious. I waited about ten or fifteen minutes and then I went and I did it. And guess what. I was seen feeding the chickens.
Now, if you ten year olds are still with me you have to understand that I belonged to another generation. When my parents found things like that out they applied the board of education to the seat of learning. That was in another generation you understand. The Bible says that thou shalt not bear false witness, and God is a God of truth, and He is interested in us being people of truth.
Now, when that commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness" was given, it actually referred to perjury, that is to say a false witness in a court of law. But I want you to turn with me today to Proverbs 6 where interestingly there are two different kinds of lying that are spoken about – that which would take place in a court of law, and that which takes place in normal conversation, and God says He hates both. Proverbs 6:16 says, "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to Him." Here they are: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."
Did you notice that lying is mentioned twice? Verse 17 says "haughty eyes, a lying tongue." Verse 19 says, "a false witness who breathes out lies." Verse 19 is talking about going to court. You bear a false witness in the presence of someone. And verse 17 is talking about the person who lies in casual conversation. God says, "I hate lying."
Now what I'd like to do today is to give you three ways that we can break that commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness."
First of all, we can break the commandment by what we say. Here I'm thinking, of course, about actual lies. We are in a situation where a lie looks good or would make us look good and so we go ahead and do it like that proverbial school boy who said that a lie is an abomination unto the Lord but a very present help in time of trouble. So we are in difficulty and what do we do? We lie. We are filling out an application for a job and we tell a lie to make ourselves look good. God sees it. God hates it.
Back in the good old days when I was teaching ethics at Moody Bible Institute, the students always used to ask me this question. They'd ask, "Is it ever right to lie?" Then they'd give this illustration. "Suppose that you were a person who was hiding missionaries and the communists (It was always communists; I don't know why.) come to the door and they point a gun at you and they say, 'Tell us where the missionaries are.' Now the question is, would you lie and say you don't know, or would you tell the truth? Would you say, 'What you do is you go up the stairs and then just to the left there's a closet there. Two of them are in there, and then you go to the other side, and we have some hiding in another room off the den.' What would you do?" Well, my response, you know, used to be, "I don't know first of all what I would do if I had a gun pointed at my head. I have never yet had that happen, even though I've lived in Chicago nearly six years, and I realize that statistically that was supposed to happen last July, but anyway, I do know this. If I were to tell a lie I believe that I would have sinned even if I lied under those conditions because whenever you tell a lie, you are actually indicating a lack of faith.
You say, "Well, wouldn't it be better to lie than to have missionaries dead?" Don't you realize that even if I were to tell the truth and the Communists killed those missionaries, I would not be responsible for the death of those missionaries? The Communists would be.
You know, those of us who are Calvinists, who follow the writings of the Apostle Paul and who therefore believe in the sovereignty of God, don't believe that God would be thrown off base if somebody happened to tell the truth. Can you just imagine God in heaven wringing His hands and saying, "Oh, good night, I intended that those missionaries live another ten years and now look at what Lutzer did. He told the truth. What are we going to do?"
Of course, God can keep people alive as long as He wants, even if we tell the truth. God hates lying. One of the ways that we can break this commandment is by what we say, and here I'm talking about lying, I'm talking about exaggeration where somebody says, "You know, my wife is never on time." That's probably not true. Think back many years ago when you were going to take her shopping and you promised her a new dress. Or a wife who says, "My husband never picks up his clothes." Watch it. Think back to perhaps the early sixties when you received an unexpected knock on the door on an early Saturday morning and he picked up his clothes. So don't say he never, never picks up his clothes. That's exaggeration.
And, of course, under this I could put people who brag, and people who toot their own horn. Don't you wish sometimes that when you met people like that you had the courage to tell them, remind them of the fact that it's not the whistle that pulls the train? I think we've all had those temptations.
Exaggeration! Distortion where we say something by innuendo! You know there was a man on a ship who had a mate who didn't get drunk very often, but one day he did and the captain wrote in the logbook, "The mate got drunk today." The mate said, "Take that out." The captain said, "No." He wrote it down. So the next day the mate was keeping the logbook and he decided to write in it, "The captain is sober today." Well, he was telling the truth, but you do get the implication.
And then slander! That's when you demean the reputation of other people by what you say whether you are telling a falsehood because of the lack of investigation in the matter or whether you are even telling the truth. Listen, you can tell the truth and be guilty of slander if you are telling the truth to people who are not part of the problem or part of the solution, and what you are doing it for is to simply demean the reputation of some believer in their eyes. That is slander.
Now I want you to turn with me to 1 Timothy 3. There's a very interesting sidelight here as to what God says about slander. Notice what it says regarding the wives of deacons. Deacons take note and share this passage with your wives if it applies. It says, "Women (probably the wives of the deacons though it may also refer to deaconesses) must likewise be dignified and not malicious gossips." That's a pretty good translation, but do you know what the Greek says? It says not diabolos. That's what it says. It says not devils. It's the word that is used 40 times for devil in the New Testament. It says, "Women should not be philanderers." That's the meaning of the word diabolos, and so what he's saying is, "Don't be slandering because when you slander somebody you are doing Satan's work." He is a slanderer and that's the meaning of the word devil.
So you see, it's not just speaking the truth about someone. Even speaking the truth can be slander if you are causing their reputation to be tainted in the minds of those to whom you speak, and God says He hates it all. He hates the devil's work.
You know, it's wonderful to know that if you have been the victim of slander, and I suppose all of us have been at times, there is a verse in Psalm 31 that says this. Regarding the believing person it says, "Thou dost hide them in the secret place of Thy presence from the conspiracies of man. Thou dost keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues." Isn't that great? God guards those who are victimized by the strife of tongues, rumors that will not subside – false rumors. That's Psalm 31:20.
So, one of the ways that we can break the commandment is by what we say. Secondly, we can break that commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness," by what we do. We talk about doing the truth. For example, cheating is a form actually of misrepresentation and bearing false witness. And I feel sorry for people who have cheated in their past who have never made it right because in the back of their minds there is always that knowledge that somehow they have done something wrong and in moments of revival when the Holy Spirit of God begins to do His work they begin to realize that they've got to go back and make things right. That's why at schools, even such as Moody Bible Institute sometimes there are students who cheat, who years later write letters saying, "I cheated when I was there and I want to make that right." That's an indication of the work of the Spirit of God who wants us to be totally honest and make things right as far as we possibly can.
I remember one day in seminary we had to go to the board and write Greek words down and parse them. And we were given drills. We'd go to the board and we would stand next to each other and we'd do it, and I was next to a guy who was just a Greek whiz, and sometimes I wasn't a Greek whiz, and I remember on one occasion looking out of the corner of my eye and seeing what he had written, and I wrote down the very same words, and the teacher commended me for being so accurate. And then I remember that after that chapel service about two days later I was under such conviction. Have you ever been in a meeting where you just can't wait for it to get over? You say, "Preach that sermon. Get it over with. Sing the song because I've got to do something. God has spoken to me." I was in such agony I couldn't hardly believe it with just the weight of guilt upon my shoulders and heart. And I went to the professor and I explained to him what happened, and we took care of it and what a load it is off a person's shoulders.
Just writing a term paper where you have plagiarized! You know plagiarism is when you steal from one author. If you steal from many, of course, then it's called research (laughter) but just writing a term paper where you have plagiarized and to know that you have handed it in to the university and there is something wrong with it, that is dishonesty.
You can also lie by what you do. Let's take, for an example, the misrepresentation that took place in Acts 5, in the story of Ananias and Sapphira. We read this in our devotions at home last night with the children, and my children were really quite taken aback by the fact that the text doesn't say that they lied. What happened in Acts 4:36 is Joseph, a Levite of Cyprian birth owned a tract of land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the Apostle Paul's feet. Chapter 5 tells the story of Ananias and Sapphira who also sold a property. They did the same thing but they kept back part of the price. Somebody says, "Well, wasn't that all right? Maybe they had financial need." Of course, it was all right. Peter says in verse 4, "While it remained unsold did it not remain your own? After it was sold was it not under your control? You could have done anything you wanted with it. You could have kept all of the money." What did Ananias and Sapphira do that was wrong? The answer is that they took money and they laid it at the Apostle's feet pretending that they were giving all that they had received from the land, just like Joseph, also known as Barnabas, had done. That's what was so sinful. If they'd have given a part of it and said, "Now this is only a part of it because we need money," Peter said they had that right. He says, "It was yours. Even after you sold it, it remained your own, but the problem is you put the best face on it. You wanted to give the impression that you were spiritual, and you wanted to give the impression that you were generous, and Sapphira, you wanted to be elected to the women's society so everyone would think that you are godly. And because of that pretense God says, "It's game over. You're dead."
You say, "Well, why doesn't God do that today?" I think God was giving an object lesson to the Church. What he was doing at the beginning of the Church was to say, "I hate pretense. I hate hypocrisy. I hate lying, and because these people agreed in their hearts to lie through pretense I will use them as an object lesson." And so Ananias dies, and Sapphira dies. Both of them are wiped out and Peter says to them, "Why has Satan filled your hearts to lie to the Holy Spirit?"
Remember John 8 says that Satan is a liar and the father of lies. His technique is lies, lies, lies, lies. You know that sometimes wicked spirits actually speak through the mouths of people, especially when they are being dealt with, if a person is demonized because of some reason, perhaps dabbling in the occult. And one of the things that you know about wicked spirits is that the only time you can believe them is when they have just told you that they have just been lying. They are liars. It is almost impossible for a demon to tell the truth. He would rather say something very evasive and general rather than telling the truth. He hates truth.
And so, Peter says, "Ananias, why did Satan fill your heart? He put it into your heart to lie." If you had said, "Ananias and Sapphira, that day that you were eating breakfast and you were discussing this among yourselves, Satan was in your kitchen and he was passing this idea off into your minds," they wouldn't have believed it. They would have said, "This is what we agreed to do to make ourselves look good."
Satan's great desire is to take thoughts and to pass them off into our minds and to get us to believe that they are ours and not his. It was motivated by pride, this lie was. It was suggested by the devil but it was directed against God. Peter says, "You have not lied to man. You have lied to God because He is the one that makes the rules. You are a liar and God hates liars."
Oh, there is so much more that could be said but we must hurry on. We can break the commandment by what we say. We can break the commandment by what we do also. We can also break this commandment by what we say and do when you put the two together. For that, turn with me to 1 John for just a moment. It occurs near the end of the New Testament just a couple of pages before the book of Revelation. Here he says that you can be a liar because you say one thing and you do another. I'm thinking of John 1:6. "If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness we lie and do not practice the truth." What he is saying is that what comes out of our mouth is inconsistent with our life. We say, "I walk in the light." We stand up and we give testimonies and say, "You know it's wonderful to walk with the Lord and to have fellowship with Him," and all that, and yet there are hidden areas of darkness in our lives. If you can, think of our lives as a house and every house has several different rooms and every one of these rooms represents a different area of our life. One room represents our business life. The other room represents our married life. The other room represents our academic life. The other room represents the financial part of our life and we have all of these different rooms within us and if there is darkness there because there is something that we have not surrendered to God, the text says that we lie and we do not do the truth.
And remember what the Lord says in Proverbs? "These six things does the Lord God hate, yea seven are an abomination unto Him," and twice lying is mentioned. God hates it because God is truth. Satan loves it because he is a lie and the father of lies. So it's possible to lie by what you say and by what you do, combining the two and putting them together.
Look at another lie that John talks about. This is in the same book in chapter 4 verse 20 - another kind of lie that he speaks about. "If someone says, 'I love God,' and he hates his brother, he is a liar, for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen." That's interesting. Here's somebody who stands up in church and sings, "My Jesus I love Thee, I know Thou art mine; for Thee all the follies of sin I resign," but he has resentment against his brother. The text says, "If someone says, 'I love God' and yet he hates his brother, he's a liar." You know, you read it and you say, "Why is that the case?" and the rationale that is given is that it is easier to love someone whom you can see and you can serve than it is to love God who is unseen. That's what he says. But you say, "I have resentment in my heart towards my brother." If you have resentment in your heart toward your brother or toward your sister, in effect you also, by the way, have resentment against God. There's a very quick transfer there because there are people who say, "It was because of God that my parents abused me," or "Why did God allow this to happen to me?" and it's very easy for us as human beings to take hatred against a person and then end up directing that hatred against God. And so he says that it is not possible to say you love God and yet hate your brother without lying. You say, "Well, I don't agree with that." Well, if you don't then you are calling God a liar because the text says it can't be done.
Now you see, what the Lord is saying to us is that He desires that we have, and the key word here is, integrity. That's a good word and God knows that we need a lot of it. We have so many people today who, when you speak to them in church, appear as if all is well, but actually in their lives, they are building up a whole network of deception and deceit. If only the truth were known, they lack integrity and honesty – the ring of transparency and truthfulness.
I wouldn't expect you to necessarily remember when it happened because it happened in the year 1906, but do you remember that earthquake that you've read about that took place in San Francisco on April 19, 1906? And as a result of that earthquake 700 people died, 300,000 were left homeless, and 28,000 buildings were destroyed. It was very interesting. An architect said that the reason that the toll was so great was not necessarily because of the earthquake being that large, but he attributed the devastation, at least a large part of it, to what he called dishonest mortar.
The builders of San Francisco had used a lot of cheap sand, mixed in with not enough expensive limestone. They did that in order to conserve, and in order to make some money on the deal, just like builders sometimes do today when they are constructing buildings with inferior materials. And though it was hidden for a long time, when the earthquake came it was revealed that many of those buildings were built with dishonest mortar and therefore not built well. And that is why the devastation was so great. Now I thought to myself that there are a lot of lives that are being built on dishonest mortar.
Jesus once told a story and said that those who build their lives on sand may have a beautiful house with the right number of windows and it may be a very impressive structure. It looks just as beautiful, if not more so, as the house that is built upon a rock, and so you can't tell the difference on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon in Chicago. But then Jesus said that when the storm comes and the judgment begins to come and you begin to have problems and the wind begins to blow and the hail begins, and you have lightening and thunder and all that, suddenly the house that is built upon the rock stands and the one that is built upon the sand collapses. It collapses because of dishonest mortar.
You know there have been people whose lives have appeared to be so normal, so godly and so neat who have built an entire network of secrecy in terms of the hiddenness of what they have done, all of which has been built upon deceit. It's amazing to see this happen because our hearts are naturally "deceitful above all things and desperately wicked," the Bible says, "and who can know it?" And God says, "I hate a lie."
And the time is coming when the antichrist comes when the Scripture says men and women are going to believe the lie. God will send them strong delusions that they might believe the lie. Right now in Sunday school I am teaching on the New Age Movement. It's really based on an incredible number of subtle lies. But there are some lives that are based on lies too.
Do you remember David? David tried to cover his sin. He went to a great deal of trouble to try to do that. He brought Uriah back from the battle. He tried to get Uriah drunk. He then eventually ended up killing Uriah so that it would look as if Bathsheba just became his wife and everything was fine, and that there was nothing wrong with their relationship. Cover-up on cover-up on cover-up! You've heard me say that it's rather ironic that the man who went to such great lengths to cover his sin is almost famous for it today. Everybody knows that David was an adulterer. But it's very interesting that when he began to cry up to God in Psalm 51, he says, "You will not delight in sacrifice," but also he said in Psalm 51, "Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment." David says, "God, you are a God of truthfulness, of justice, of righteousness and transparency, and I am confessing that the sin was against you."
Interestingly, in Romans 3 Paul picks up that verse and he adds the words, "Let God be true and every man a liar." Now if you are here today and do not realize the deception that is in your own heart, you are really making God a liar because the Bible says that each of us is born with a deceptive nature. Each of us has a great dose of untruthfulness because a drop of Satan's rebellion, a drop of his desire to lie has fallen upon every single human heart. But what God says to us today is that He can forgive that.
If you are a Christian and there is deception in your life, it is very, very important that you get it taken care of to the extent that it can be taken care of, even if it means writing a letter to a university that you graduated from, or returning something, or telling the truth about some untruth that you told to someone where you misled them, or correcting some business deal where there has been some dishonest mortar. You have that responsibility before God because God hates lying.
If you are not a Christian your first responsibility is not to worry about all of the deceptions in your life except insofar as they are a reminder of the fact that you desperately need to be forgiven and to be cleansed by God and to be received in His presence. And the good news is that when Jesus Christ died on the cross, His death was a sacrifice for sin. He died in our place whereby we could be forgiven and cleansed, and God can make us one of His own, and actually give us a new nature that hates deception because it is patterned after Jesus Christ. And the reason that you ought to flee to the cross with such tremendous speed, figuratively speaking, is because the Bible says this in Revelation 21:8. After giving a beautiful description of the New Jerusalem it says, "Outside of the Holy City are sorcerers, idolaters and all liars." Interestingly, in that list of people outside of the Holy City it doesn't say all sorcerers, though that may be applied. It says "all liars." Why? God says, "I hate abomination and lying. God hates it because He is a God of truth.
Whatever the dishonest mortar is in your life, will you confess it and forsake it and expose yourself to God, whatever the cost? God says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness."
Let's pray.
Oh Father, today we want to thank You that Jesus is a friend of sinners because we know that there exists within the natural unconverted human heart an incredible deception, the tendency to lying, deceit and slander. It's all there. We thank You that You can not only forgive us for that but we rejoice also that You can make us new people, people who love righteousness and hate iniquity. And we pray today for that believer who knows right well what they ought to make right as the Spirit of God has pointed it out to them. We ask that You will give them the grace to do it no matter how humiliating it is, no matter how difficult it is. We pray that You will give them the ability to do whatever is necessary to be fully right with You and man. And for the people who do not know You as Savior, who have never trusted You, and who understand that they are deceitful, help them to see that their first step is to realize that Jesus Christ's death was for them, and to believe on Christ, to acknowledge their sin, and then say, "Lord Jesus, I trust you completely and totally." May they make that choice today for Your name's sake we pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

Hungary has a rich history with medieval cities such as Budapest and Pécs, but it is also the perfect place to enjoy some serious rest and relaxation. Make time for Budapest – the twin city of sophisticated Buda and cool Pest is split in two by the delightful River Danube and is one of Europe's finest cities. The Balaton region is the place to head to for a truly relaxing and rejuvenating break. Across Hungary there are 135 natural thermal springs and the incredible Lake Hévíz is Europe's largest thermal lake. Hungary also has 22 wine-making regions with many vineyards offering wine tours and tastings.


Out of the millions of Tylenol tablets that are taken daily it only took 70 to get Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) into a world of trouble with the FDA today. JNJ, which was trading down $1.00 as of 1:48PM, was criticized for not responding to 70 customer complaints in an efficient manner. So does this earth shattering story mean that you should dump your JNJ shares? No of course not... well I guess maybe if you were one of those 70 people that got sick off the product. All kidding aside, this does bring up a great fundamental point of investing. No matter how much analysis you do, you will never be able to predict the future.

•	Pole position and two podiums for Bradley Ray.
•	Podium and Superstock 1000 championship lead for Billy McConnell.
Buildbase Suzuki's Bradley Ray and Billy McConnell took three podium finishes between them at Cadwell Park for round eight of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship on Sunday.
Ray claimed pole position in qualifying for the two races, and led for much of them on his GSX-R1000, but narrowly missed out on the wins, finishing second twice. However, he secured a strong haul of championship points and podium credits with one round to go to decide the Showdown top six.
Billy McConnell finished second in the day's National Superstock 1000 race, regaining the championship lead in the process. He led until the final stages, but a mistake into 'Charlies One' saw him surrender his advantage, but it was enough for him to leave with a five-point series lead.
On the second Buildbase Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superbike, Richard Cooper finished 11th and ninth after two tight BSB races.
Superbike race one result: 1. Leon Haslam, 2. Bradley Ray (Buildbase Suzuki) , 3. Jake Dixon, 11. Richard Cooper (Buildbase Suzuki).
Superbike race two result: 1. Leon Haslam, 2. Bradley Ray (Buildbase Suzuki), 3. Jake Dixon, 9. Richard Cooper (Buildbase Suzuki).
Superstock race result: 1. Lee Jackson, 2. Billy McConnell (Buildbase Suzuki), 3. Josh Elliot.

Customers more and more often require transport to be very flexible, fast, and complex in terms of carrying every quantity of goods of different sizes, from and to different countries, through customs clearance, storing and distribution of shipments. Meeting these requirements depends on complex information on transport processes and their rational planning. Transport in supply chain is a factor that gives mobility to logistics processes and is a basis for reliable, on-time and complex serivces. Well organizaed transport processes determine the free flow of goods and semi-finished goods from the consignor to the consignee, creating integrated supply chains at the same time.

Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Statement on Russia - Ukraine Conflict
Address delivered by PIF Chair at UN and Fiji Permanent Representative at the UN, Ambassador Satyendra Prasad.
Source: Fiji Times
Tuesday, 01 March 2022 11:16 AM
The Pacific Islands Forum member states with presence at the United Nations in New York, register our deep alarm at the unfolding crisis in Ukraine.
In the spirit of constructive engagement, we call on the Russian Federation, Ukraine and all parties to take every available measure to de-escalate the situation and return to the path of diplomacy in good conscience.
We welcome the beginning of talks between the Ukrainian and Russian governments, and we call for an immediate ceasefire, safe humanitarian access to affected areas and the urgent withdrawal of military forces in accordance with internationally recognised borders.
The actions of the Russian Federation are violations of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and inconsistent with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations. We call on the Russian Federation to immediately and unconditionally reverse its decision related to the status of certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
Our Blue Pacific relies on the rules-based international order that has promoted peace among our global family for over half a century. The challenges we collectively face today are numerous and will not be overcome without peaceful dialogue. Climate Change and COVID-19 must remain at the forefront of our global efforts. Our actions must be guided by established rules and norms.
We wish to recall the Preamble of the UN Charter to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small.
We reaffirm the importance of the rules-based international order and the resolution of international disputes by peaceful means, respect for national sovereignty and collective action in response to unlawful challenges to national integrity and independence.
In doing so, the PIF UN members join the widespread calls for a return to peace and dialogue in the spirit of multilateralism which the United Nations holds among its highest ideals.

5th Apr 10:13 So pretty and comfortable. Already worn at my yoga class and it will make a very useful summer/evening top as well.
3rd Apr 11:43 Very flattering wonderful fabric. More colours please!
18th Mar 22:21 Really like this new design, very flattering but I think it needs a crop top underneath rather than just a bra if your using it to exercise but no problem if it's for casual wear.
25th Feb 18:18 Lovely and soft , deep colour and flattering cut.


Beautifully restored and maintained four bedroom home designed by renowned architect Cliff May on large tree shaded corner lot with pool (2010) located at 11038 Snow White Dr. in North Dallas on one of the Fairytale streets. This home is eminently livable and perfectly reconciles indoor shelter with outdoors pleasures. Think serene, peaceful, open and you start to get what works so well in this home.
Cliff May is the father of the California Ranch-style house which combined the western ranch house and the Hispanic hacienda styles with elements of modernism back in 1932. The month that sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows were on the market he incorporated these innovative building materials into his homes. May's work incorporated environmental design before it was recognized as such says Dan Gregory, aurhor of Cliff May and the Modern Ranch House. Many of his trademark design elements can be found in 11038 Snow White.
With floor to ceiling windows and atrium doors that flow to the outside courtyards this mid-century modern home truly connects to its environment and invites you to commune with nature. The spacious entry- way with its tile floors is both a gallery and a dividing place for the two large great rooms that flow effortlessly into one another. The master suite is spacious and split from the other bedrooms and has a large walk-in closet, sitting area and a remodeled bath.
The kitchen and great room form the heart and soul of the home with its vaulted and beamed ceilings. The kitchen has been renovated with stainless Jenn Air appliances, gas cook tops and clear maple custom cabinets. The east wing of the home has three bedrooms each with vaulted ceilings and transom windows. The original bathroom fixtures have been carefully restored in the two west bathrooms.
The yard is very spacious and has numerous small and large courtyards including a large fenced in area on the east side of the home. Priced at $574,900.


Today I am continuing the series on connecting the Eastside Rail Corridor by describing the options for getting to downtown Kirkland.
The Cross Kirkland Corridor, the portion of the ERC in Kirkland (blue line) is a half mile and a steep climb from downtown Kirkland. We cross the trail to get to Kirkland, so we are very familiar with this ride. Our most common destination is the Kirkland Library, the green dot on the left. I've discussed biking in downtown Kirkland before.
Coming from the north on the CKC, you get off the trail at Kirkland Ave, at which point you have two choices. Our usual route goes straight down Kirkland Ave (red line). The first stretch is mostly flat, then there is a difficult crossing of 6th St (orange line). This is blind – you can't see oncoming southbound traffic until you are actually in the northbound lane.
6th St backs up northbound at the evening commute time, and it's hard to get through. It's not much easier during the day when I ride it. This is the location of most of my emergency stops. I'm not confident that the planned light at Kirkland Way (intersection of orange and yellow) will help the crossing at Kirkland Ave (red and orange), and I don't really want to ride down 6th just to make the two-stage crossing at Kirkland Way. Once across 6th, Kirkland Ave is pleasantly quiet, but very steep. So we go into town this way, but we don't leave this way.
The other option is to take 8th St to Kirkland Way (yellow line). The problem here is the blind corner at the trail's overpass.
People use Kirkland Way to get to and from I-405 in their cars, bypassing the traffic on 6th St and Central Way and the busy intersection there. I am uncomfortable with the speeds on Kirkland Way in a car, much less on a bike. There are no bike facilities on this stretch of Kirkland Way, or even sidewalks for most of it. I use this route coming out of downtown because it's much less steep than Kirkland Ave, it has a 4-way stop at 6th St (soon to be a light) and I don't have to cross traffic since I'm turning right. I don't like having to control the lane here (especially in the dark), but it's the best of a bunch of bad choices.
For those who are comfortable riding in traffic, these routes work. If the sidewalks are empty, they are an option on these routes for those willing to use them. If we want biking to downtown Kirkland to be a reasonable option for many people, we need a better connection to the CKC. I'd like to see protected bike lanes on Kirkland Way from 8th St at least to the library (the green dot on the left) and preferably all the way to the water. There is plenty of space in the right-of-way, but the on-street parking will be politically difficult to use because people seem to think that there is no parking in Kirkland.
Coming from the south, you can ride all the way to Kirkland Ave, and proceed as described above, but that means crossing 6th St twice. The better option would be a two-way protected bike lane on the west side of 6th (orange line) connecting to Kirkland Ave or Kirkland Way. Two-way bike lanes are problematic, but this is a perfect place for it, as it takes out two street crossings. The city just completed the sidewalk on this stretch of 6th, a great first step. Now the connection works for those on foot.
It's not a perfect sidewalk (unbuffered, lots of curb cuts) but this was an egregious sidewalk gap (busy street, so close to downtown!) and it's good that it's fixed now. Here is the street before, picture taken from the other direction.
Another option would be to use 3rd Ave to State St (pink line). 3rd is a residential street that does not go through by car. It has a staircase connecting to 6th St. State is an arterial similar to 6th, so not an improvement. This option also bypasses the new Kirkland Urban (green dot on the right).


I find inspiration for problems everywhere. Once you know how, it is hard to not see inspiration where ever you turn!
I had just been asked to run a problem involving early multiplication and division when I found this note book cover.
"You all know about my friend, the Year 1 teacher who is so busy that she panics. Well this time she is preparing for her art and craft class and wants every one to make their own owl. Has she got enough materials or does she need to shop for more?
The Sting What if she was preparing for her whole class of 27 students? What extra materials will she need to buy?
You can make up lots more problems and 'what ifs' I am sure.

More Red White and Blue coming at you today! I love this little blue dress so much! I ordered it a few years ago from Victoria Secret and every summer I love to pull it out and go! It's super comfy and easy to wear plus I can pair it with all kinds of things, it's definitely a road trip go to!
I think this dress would be perfect to throw on after a day spent at the pool! Do you guys have any 4th plans yet? We still don't have any official plans but fireworks will definitely be seen!!!

The second part of the essays begins by discussing the concept of a classless society as defined by Karl Marx. This is followed by an assessment as to whether or not a classless society is attainable and sustainable in this century. Class The term class has several different definitions. It can be defined as the segment of a population that have similar social standings in society or a similar social status.
That is, a group of people in society sharing broadly similar types and levels of resources, who possess similar styles of living and, some common perception of their collective condition. Alternatively, Marxists are not concerned with the ideas of individual workers about their position in society. They hold that a person's class is not determined by the amount of wealth that he has, but by how he acquires it, as determined by his relation to labour and to the means of production.
As defined by Lenin Vladimir I. "Classes are large groups of people differing from each other by the place they occupy in a historically determined system of social production, by their relation (in most cases fixed and formulated by law) to the means of production, by their role in the social organisation of labour, and, consequently, by the dimensions of the share of social wealth of which they dispose and their mode of acquiring it" (1965, p421). Class Struggle According to Marxist theory, there once existed a classless society which encompassed tribal society and primitive communism because everyone was poor and carried out the same type of work.
Classes emerged only at a certain stage in the development of productive forces and the division of labour. This occurred when the transition to an agricultural society created the existence of surplus of production, which was more than enough to satisfy an individual's needs at a particular time. It is this surplus production that brought about the development of classes in society, because the surplus could be used by the higher class. That is, the ruling class which did not participate in production.
Types of Class "There are three great social groups, whose members… live on wages, profit and ground rent respectively". Karl Marx: 1971, p. 886). These three social groups or classes are: •the proletariat or working class, •the bourgeoisie or capitalist class, •the landlord class The Landlord Class Marxist-Leninists define the landlord class as that class which owns land and derives its income from ground rent on that land. Marx considered them a marginal class, progressively losing their importance with the development of capitalist society. Thus, in a developed capitalist society, there are still three basic social classes, but these are now the bourgeoisie; the petty bourgeoisie; and the proletariat: "Every capitalist country… s basically divided into three main forces: the bourgeoisie, the petty bourgeoisie and the proletariat". (Vladimir I. Lenin; 1964, p. 202).
The Bourgeoisie These are the owners of capital. It is this capital that they use to buy and exploit labour power and then use the surplus value from employment of this labour power to accumulate or expand their capital. Marxist-Leninists define the bourgeoisie or capitalist class as "… the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labour". (Friedrich Engels: Note to: Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels: 1943; p. 04). Classlessness The term classlessness can be used to describe several different social situations occurring in society. Amongst these include; i. Societies in which classes have never developed.
These being societies in which all people are considered equal, carry out similar economic roles and have never created a division of labour. ii. Societies where classes have been deliberately or voluntarily abolished such as is the case for the Israeli kibbutzes. Class analysis explains how modern capitalist society works and accounts for many of the other issues raised by the other approaches.
But class analysis has been criticized as economically too deterministic and not able to explain changes in modern societies where people from different strata show mobility as they benefit from the dynamic organization of the capitalist economy. Another critique of class analysis is that, because of the focus on the production, it tends to ignore the fact that social stratification in society occurs along various planes and not just economic organization as. Others have identified stratification on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity as key to understanding most societies.
From the above, a classless society can be explained as one where there is no private ownership and control/rights over property. That is, a society where the basis of class division in property has been eliminated through public ownership of the means of production. By implication, all value including surplus value created by labour is consumed collectively by the community. In accordance with the above analysis of Marx's theory on class and classless society, and the occurrences of this century, it can be concluded that a classless society is not likely to be attained, nor sustained.
This is because time and history have invalidated many of Karl Marx's assumptions and predictions. For instance, capitalist ownership and control of production have been separated. Joint stock companies forming most of the industrial sector are now almost entirely operated by non-capital-owning managers. There is also the case of people in a society not only being employees of a company, but also owning capital, that is, shares in the company they work for. In such a situation, it is not expected that a revolution against the capitalist can take place as the worker is the capitalist.
It would not be logical for a person to overthrow himself. Workers are divided and subdivided into different skill groups. They have not grown homogenous. Thus, it is quite difficult for the proletariat to start a revolution as each worker or skill group has different goals and values. That is, workers are not united and not all may be willing to participate in the overthrow of the capitalist. In addition, class stability has been undermined by the development of a large middle class and considerable social mobility.
Instead of increasing extremes of wealth and poverty, there has been a social leveling. And finally, bourgeois political power has progressively weakened with growth in worker oriented legislation and of labor-oriented parties, and with a narrowing of the rights and privileges of capital ownership. Most important, the severest manifestation of conflict between workers and capitalist (the strike) has been institutionalized through collective bargaining legislation and the legalization of strikes. Furthermore, some of Marx's predictions have not come to pass: Growth of capitalism.
While Marx expected capitalism to expand and he understood the adaptability of capitalism to new conditions, he appears to have expected capitalism to eventually collapse. Today, capitalism has adapted and has created new means of expanding itself – through development of new technologies, new forms of organization, colonialism and imperialism, and new markets. Technology reducing profits. Marx predicted that as industry becomes more mechanised, using more constant capital and less variable capital, the rate of profit would fall.
This is not the case in the current era as the increase and improvement in technology, has in turn brought about an increase in the quality and thus the value of goods and services. Thus, increasing profit. Increasing poverty of the working class. Marx expected the working class to become increasingly impoverished. Though there are tendencies in this direction and employers attempt to reduce wages, workers have been able to increase their wages, usually above subsistence levels in certain periods. Workers have done this through trade unions and through pressuring the state to improve working and living conditions.

Regarding "DOD toughens checks on risky contract type"
The choice of titles for this article showed a narrow — one could say one-sided — perspective that misrepresents the subject to some extent.
Time and materials contracts are not necessarily inherently risky unless the entity contracting for the product or service does not understand its requirement and/or cannot effectively articulate it to the contractor. This is all too often the case for the government, particularly the Defense Department. In this case, T&M can be risky for contractors as well, since there is significant scope and other associated impacts.
In my opinion, T&M is unpopular today mostly because the government cannot absolve accountability for its constant changes and poor vision. If T&M is deemed risky to the government because the contractor doesn't understand the requirement, this should be evident in proposal reviews where the requirement is solidly defined, in which case the risk to government should be minimized already.

Q: php - CURL - Getting HTTP code if/else to test I want to do 404 testing on an API using curl and php
While valid requests to the token generation endpoint (/api/Utilities/StashData) will receive an HTTP 200 response containing a token for use with Leap, invalid requests will receive an HTTP 400 response (Bad Request). If your system receives an HTTP 400 response from the API, it must not attempt to proceed to Leap. The content of this response will contain a JSON-serialized object describing the validation error(s), as per the following example:
[

       {

              "Key": "CapeConsumers.TrackerNumber",

              "Errors": [

                     {

                           "ErrorCode": "CC002",

                           "Description": "The value is required."

                     }

              ]

       }

]

As you can see, the response contains an array of objects, where each object has a Key property which refers to the key submitted to the service, and an Errors property describing the reason(s) the value was rejected. The ErrorCode values are predefined and guaranteed never to change, the Description is dynamic for certain errors and exists mainly to aid debugging
The codes

CC001
Invalid value.
The value does not conform to one or more validation rules defined for
  the key.
CC002
The value is required.
A required value has been omitted from the request. Sending null or a
  blank string for a required value will also result in this error
  (unless a blank string has been defined as valid by supporting
  documentation).
CC003
The value is not of the correct type. Expected {0}, found {1}.
The system expected the value to be of one type, but a different type
  was submitted. (e.g. a number was sent instead of a string)
CC004
The origin is not valid for the specified campaign.
Campaigns are linked to specific integrating parties. If an
  integrating party uses a tracker number that isn't assigned to it,
  this error will be returned.
CC005
The campaign is not currently active.
The tracker number references a campaign that either hasn't started or
  has already come to an end.

Here is the code I have tried.
$endpointUser = "myuser";
//
$endpointPassword = "mypass";
//
$url = "https://webservices_test.capeconsumers.co.za/api/Utilities/StashData";

$iframeUrl =  "https://onlineapplicationtest.capeconsumers.co.za/Bridge/CapeConsumersSACommercial?token=";

$fields = array(
    "User.IdentityNumber"=> $_GET['security_phrase'],
    "CapeConsumers.TrackerNumber"=> "6E273247DB4840G3",
    "Call.AgentReference"=> $_GET['user'] ,
    "Call.RecordingReference"=> $_GET['security_phrase']
);

$process = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $endpointUser . ":" . $endpointPassword);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($fields));
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$token = curl_exec($process);
curl_close($process);
$token = str_replace('"','',$token);

$httpCode = curl_getinfo($process, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

if($httpCode == 400) {

 echo "there was an error"; exit;

}

?>

<iframe src="<?php echo $iframeUrl . $token; ?>" width="100%" height="800"></iframe>

My problem is that if I deliberately give it a bad response, it will still generate the iframe instead of exiting at the if statement for the 400 error.
I am unsure of my logic as this is my first attempt at curl

A: You are getting response code too late.
curl_close manual says:

Closes a cURL session and frees all resources. The cURL handle is also deleted.

Order must be:
$httpCode = curl_getinfo($process, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($process);

Otherwise there is no CURL handle anymore and therefore you can't retrieve response code.

A: 404 will not be returned by API, it would be thrown if and only if requested url doesn't exist or running. To generate 404 deliberately, pls modify the hostsection of url, so that it refers to wrong location and thus should result 404.
Hope this helps.

Tourist attractions often have two admission prices: one for locals or residents, and one for foreigners or visitors from far away. Some see this as discrimination, while others accept it as being fair. In this essay I will say why I think it is reasonable for foreign visitors to pay more.
I don't think locals should pay the same as foreign tourists. For one thing, a historical attraction in my country is part of my heritage. My ancestors built it, and I should have free or cheap access so I can know my history. Second, let's face it : most tourists are rich – or at least richer than us locals. If they can afford to fly from Australia or China to see a castle or a rare animal, than they can pay a few dollars more. In addition, I pay taxes in my country, so I have already paid a lot more from my salary than the foreign tourist who is only here for a few days.
I think foreigners should pay more for several reasons. First of all, it raises money to maintain the attraction. The higher admission fees from foreigners are important in Egypt or Mexico to preserve world-class historical sites. Secondly, tourists pay far more for their flights, hotels, and cocktails. A few dollars extra to visit a museum is nothing. Third, most tourists only visit the attraction once in their lives. Who is not prepared to pay a little extra for a special occasion?
To sum up, I don't think it's unreasonable for me to pay a little extra when I am in a new country, and vice versa. In fact, I've already started to save for my next trip!
would you please do me a favor and take a look at this essay, and tell me my problems and weaknesses ? because next week is my real IELTS examination and I'd like to cope with my defects.
It is evident which many nations try to charge the tourists and foreign visitors more than the others in any places, such as museums and historical places. However, some believe that they should be charged as much as the other residents. In this essay I will say why it is rational for foreign visitors to pay more.
The primary and supreme reason is that tourists bring a great deal of money to the country they want to travel, and this makes the countries to broaden their cultural and tourism activities, as the nations need investment to protect their natural and tourism environments. For instance, Egypt benefits more by the foreign visitor's attraction, and they try to ameliorate their facilities to make a better access to the pyramids.
Additionally, those people who claim the idea which says: foreign visitors should be charged as much as the native people, they miss out a vital fact that these kind of passengers make job opportunities into the country, and it would be a fantastic situations for the people to be occupied due to the tourists activities. For example, in popular coastlines, that would be a great condition to build a diving club or some other watery sports which absorb numerous attractions.
Consequently, it seems to be logical to get more money from tourists than the others. Moreover, that oversea visitors bring out several outstanding opportunities, and a great deal of money could be poured to the destination country, nations would better to try and attract tourists and promote their facilities. In addition, for those countries which have not adequate export, it is the best method to exploit money.
Can you post the essay in the Essay Forum (it's the link on the top: http://writefix.com/?page_id=2722)? Thanks!
Hopefully someone will be able to comment on your essay and give you some feedback before you do the exam. Perhaps you could comment on some other people's essays too?
One of the obvious comments that I noticed in your essay is that your paragraph are too long and more than the required. Be careful, the suitable number of the words in a paragraph is between 15 to 18 words, if not mistaken.
Other comments is you didn't explain effectively the other side view/opinion. You need to show the both side of thinking fairly.
However, following Mr. Writefix comment above, you should place your essay where it should be. This is not the right location for to place an essay.
All the best foryour IELTS examination.
You should not hang your point of argument like that: You must state which side are you in.Either to agree or argue. And also make critical thesis statement..But generaly, the essay is fine.


The Chinese intruding in Chamoli on Thursday was discussed in Parliament. The issue was posed in the House by the congress MP Jyotiraditya Scindia. The Samajwadi chief Mulayam Singh Yadav speaks on this issue firmly saying that China is a big danger for India. Whatever Mulayam Singh Yadav, former Union Defense Minister and MP (UP), said in the House is as follows.
1. Be very careful from China; China can never desist from hatching conspiracy against India.
2. It has made a nexus with Pakistan against us.
3. He suggested to say to Pak, "We are yours elder brother and you are younger." bring him by this way on your side.
4. Zhou Enlai was given warmth welcomed by Nehru. The resulting consequence was that China had attacked over us in 1962.
5. China is in prowl behind Pak and attacking us.
6. Our armed force is not weak.
7. We need to threat China; otherwise this will enhance its barbaric activities.
8. 8. Maintain it in the mind that we are out of danger from China.

For a long time now, Southwest Airlines' Android app has been awful. I mean just lamentably bad. No, seriously, here are some screenshots of the app before today's update... and oddly, Southwest hasn't even updated the screenshots in the Play Store.
See? It's like someone got the only app developer from TWA to work on it. The app has been given a complete overhaul with today's update, bringing both the interface and the capability up to snuff. But as frequent US airline travelers will know, even when you get to fly first class, it's still a pretty crappy experience.
Yes, the interface has been updated to conform at least somewhat to current trends, if not Holo design guidelines.
JetBlue App Updated To v2 With Virtual Boarding Passes And Streamlined UI
Ryan Whitwam
Planning a trip? If you're going to fly JetBlue, your experience will be a little bit better thanks to the new Android app update. Version 2 is live in the Play Store and it includes a few useful changes, among them virtual boarding passes (finally).
The UI update isn't a dramatic shift, but it cleans up a few bits of design around the booking and flight tracking interfaces. The headlining update is obviously the virtual boarding passes. You won't need to worry about printing out paper passes – just pull up the barcode on your phone. Although, if your phone goes missing you're going to be in a completely new world of pain.
Brilliant: Fly Delta App Now Allows Travelers To Track Checked Bags Like Postal Packages
2011/11/27 3:44pm PST Nov 27, 2011
Delta Airlines customers with Android or iOS devices now have one more awesome feature to use with the airline's Fly Delta app – the ability to track their checked luggage as if it were a package, a feature previously only available online or at Delta customer service desks.
https://youtu.be/kzTQSbINccw
The app's latest update includes a rather sophisticated tracking system, which will scan your claim tag and automatically update with the location of your bags, ensuring that you always know where your bags are, and can be sure that they are traveling along without issue.
In addition to tracking your bags, the app will notify you of which carousel holds your luggage, greatly cutting down on time spent looking around or impatiently waiting for the arrival screen to update.

While looking through the recent app list tonight, I noticed that not less than 2 hours ago, American Airlines landed its very own app in the Android Market.
Following the other big players in the flying business, American Airlines is now letting you:
view your reservation info
access your mobile boarding pass - this is excellent
view your place on upgrade and standby lists
take pictures of where you parked (there are better ways, you know... *cough* GPS *cough* ParkDroid *cough*)
view your Elite status and progress
check flight status and schedules
play Sudoku (what the?..)
Not bad at all for what seems to be a great tool with a pleasant interface and thoughtfully positioned menus.

Pacific Northwest Fishing "Staycations" by Cody Herman
** Some of the information in this article regarding specific numbers may be dated, but the insight and information is very helpful **
Changing regulations, inconsistent seasons and fluctuating fisheries have become the norm in the Pacific Northwest.
Or has it? For decades, we as anglers have focused on salmon, steelhead and sturgeon. And rightfully so! They are fantastic table fare, fight hard and make for great pictures! However, with the ever-changing landscape to our primary fisheries, many anglers and adventure seekers have begun to look for other opportunities across the region. Anglers are moving outside of their comfort zone and expanding their knowledge of fishing in the Northwest.
Kokanee and trout fishing has been increasing in popularity rapidly over the past few years on the West Coast for good reason.
Consistent seasons, limits usually expected, fantastic weather and family friendly environments have drawn thousands of anglers away from the rivers and into our local lakes and reservoirs. With spring upon us, the favorite freshwater haunts begin to open up for angling as the snow recedes and the waters warm. The fish are once again becoming active and now is the time to start planning your weekends in the field with family and friends.
The Pacific Northwest has hundreds of destinations for us to explore in search of new experiences and fisheries. The spring and summer breathes new life into us all after a long, cold winter. Relaxing by a campfire or renting a comfy cabin to enjoy a much-needed break from the stresses of life becomes increasingly enticing. But no ordinary campground will suffice...
We are anglers.
Wetting a line at sunrise with the guarantee of multiple hookups is the ideal setting for us. But where do we begin in our planning process for a getaway such as this? It takes time on the water and the willingness to experience several places before you find one that suits your needs perfectly. However, to shorten the learning curve, we have tracked down five of the most prominent locations in the Northwest for ease of access and high catch rates. Although these are good places to start, take it upon yourself this season to explore the great kokanee and trout fisheries our backyard has to offer.
Detroit Lake:
Detroit Lake is located close to civilization, a mere 43 miles east of Salem, and can be done in a single day. But with multiple campgrounds, RV sites, cabins and boat moorage available, this is an ideal place to spend a few days to enjoy the scenery.
By the way…the fishing is not too bad either. In 2012, Detroit Lake was stocked with over 125,000 rainbow trout! The stocking begins in April and will last through most of the year. The heaviest trout plantings begin this month and begin to taper off in numbers come July. Combine these numbers of annually planted fish, include the holdover population from the prior year, the abundant numbers of kokanee as well as the landlocked chinook that roam the depths, and you can begin to see why Detroit Lake is a favorite amongst anglers.
Jeremy Jahn, of KokaneeKid Fishing, is a regular on Detroit Lake and has some insights for the newcomers.
"May and June are the best months to target this fishery," says Jeremy. "The trout can be on the smaller side, but with kokanee and landlocked chinook around it keeps the angler guessing each time the rod bends with a bite!"
The fish are absolutely most active during the spring and early summer months as the water warms. When the heart of the summer season arrives, expect to see more boat traffic from the watersports crowd. But don't let this hamper your desire learn this fishery.
Jeremy suggests focusing on the "south side of the island located in the upper section of the reservoir." He adds that "where the Kenny Creek arm meets with the main reservoir near the dam can be a productive spot as well for both kokanee and trout."
For targeting the landlocked chinook, Jahn says to "focus to the southeast of the island just outside of the shallows." Jahn suspects the chinook hang here in an attempt to ambush small trout as they move towards the deeper water.
As for techniques, fishing from a boat will give you the best opportunity for success.
Don't have a boat? No problem! The Detroit Lake Marina offers boat rentals for every price range. The Marina also has a full spectrum of fishing tackle and bait when needed and is always a good resource for up to the minute tips and reports.
The most consistent setup for the Kokanee Kid on Detroit Lake has been a "Shasta Tackle UV Wiggle Hoochie in pink, 28 inches behind a UV blue Shasta Tackle Sling Blade dodger." His secondary rig would be a "fluorescent red and silver #8 Spin-N-Glo placed a mere 8 inches behind a pink and purple arrow flash dodger."
Diamond Lake:
Less than 80 miles east of Roseburg, OR, at the summit of the Cascade Mountains lies Diamond Lake. This 3,000 acre lake spans 4 miles in length, half mile wide and an average depth of 20 feet. However, in the not so distant past, Diamond Lake was considered a lost cause. The tui chub population out-competed the trout for the micro-organisms in the lake.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife took drastic steps in the mid 2000's to once again turn Diamond Lake into a fishing destination. Here we are, only a few years removed from the implemented project by the ODFW, and Diamond Lake is back on the map! With the most lucrative retention limits (8 trout per person per day) and trout averaging in the 14-18 inch range with numerous landed in the 5- to 10-pound class, Diamond Lake is the place to go for some fantastic fishing!
"200,000 trout fingerlings are stocked each spring in correlation to the lake's prolific insect hatches. During this time, the fingerlings will grow an inch per month," says Rick. Because these fish are not raised to a catchable size in a hatchery, they make for excellent table fare because of the natural diets during their life cycle.
Unlike many high altitude lakes and reservoirs in the Northwest, Diamond Lake is now open year-round. The first year of ice fishing on Diamond Lake was quite successful. As the seasons progress and the ice begins to melt away, the fishing is at its peak until the doldrums of summer arrive. Fishing again picks up in August as the cooler fall weather begins.
The entire lake fishes well but Rick from Diamond Lake Resort suggests starting in the far NW corner of the lake during the spring thaw. During this time of year, trolling baits and lures seem to be most effective. As the water warms, trolling will remain productive along the steep eastern banks of the lake. For those who like to fish with bait, the flats along the western and southern shorelines will produce well.
As for techniques, Rick says to "flat-line an F-4 size Flatfish in a frog pattern, a small spinner or Luhr Jensen Needlefish" when trolling from a boat or casting from the bank. "Fishing with Berkley Powerbait in red, pink, chartreuse and rainbow colors on a sliding rig with 6-pound leader and a #14 hook" will catch most of the fish throughout the year according to the Resort. But a technique that is gaining popularity is using a worm under a bobber when fishing the weedlines during the summer months. However, if you are looking for a new challenge with a high probability for success, don't neglect fly-fishing for Diamond Lake's behemoth rainbow trout. The lake hosts multiple hatches throughout the year including chironomids, callibaetis, mayflies, leaches, dragon and damsel fly larvae. "Fly Fisherman usually do best with Woolly Buggers in olive, brown and black colors on an intermediate sinking tip. During the chironomid hatch, emergers are deadly." Rick continues by saying the trout will "often target a well presented fly over lures on many occasions." So be prepared when heading out to Diamond Lake to utilize several different techniques.
The lake offers 3 U.S. Forest Service Campgrounds with 450 sites that are allocated on a first come, first serve basis. These sites are fully equipped with flush toilets, potable water, RV dump stations, plenty of lush green grass and of course, a fish cleaning station.
Map of Diamond Lake Below:
Diamond Lake also hosts a full service RV park on the south end. Diamond Lake Resort offers top of the line accommodations, guest cabins and motel rooms. With two restaurants, a pizza parlor, stores, laundry facilities, a full service tackle shop and marina with boat rentals, the Resort has all of the creature comforts of home. Diamond Lake is an ideal vacation spot for the angler to bring the family. There are fun and exciting things for each member of the family on the lake ranging from bike riding to horseback adventures, or experience the beauty of Crater Lake National Park, a mere five miles away. A quick word of caution, mosquitoes can be quite prolific during the peak summer months, so bring plenty of bug spray!
Lake Merwin:
Lake Merwin is located roughly 40 miles north of Vancouver, Washington at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. It is the third reservoir in a chain that includes both Yale and Swift reservoirs upstream. Lake Merwin is a great bet for consistent numbers of early season kokanee.
During these first few months of spring, the fish will be found "from the surface down to only about 10-15 feet in depth" according the Kokanee Kid, Jeremy Jahn. "Expect limits of averaged sized kokanee on most outings by casting small jigs or by trolling" says Jahn. "Keep your gear 75-100 feet behind your boat and troll at a speed of 0.8mph to 1.2mph for the best success." According to Jeremy, Pink hoochies 24-inches behind a dodger should be deadly in the early season. He also suggests using a "Mack's Lure Double D dodger" due to its heavier weight and its capability to run out to the side of your boat in an effort to cover more water and spook fewer fish.
Several options exist for tent and RV camping on the shores of Lake Merwin. Campers Hideaway on the south shore of the lake is quite a popular spot. Speelyai Bay offers day use options with alternate overnight camping located at the Cresap Bay Campground. Lake Merwin is a beautiful fishery close to several major metropolitan areas. Do not expect to be alone on the water here, but with thousands of acres of fishable water, there is room to explore!As the water warms in the coming months, the kokanee will begin to associate with the thermocline and move deeper in the water column. Because of the size of this reservoir and the nature of these fish, a boat will give you the best access to having a successful day on the water. But don't assume you need an expensive metal boat to have a good day. Rafts, float tubes and kayaks will put you on these shallow, early season kokanee that are eager to strike!
Wickiup Reservoir and Odell Lake:
As the snows recede in the high cascades, look to Wickiup Reservoir and Odell Lake for early season success. The waterways are separated by only a few miles, giving the angler opportunities to fish one system or the other, based upon conditions and success rates.
Wickiup Reservoir has a larger average size with 20-inch fish being common last year. Odell fish tend to be slightly smaller, but more plentiful and willing to bite. Couple that with Odell's 25 fish limit, and a weekend of good fishing can fill a freezer quick! Casting a ½- to ¾-ounce P-Line or Nordic jig in red, pink or white will prove to be good colors that will put fish in your creel on either Wickiup or Odell. Casting at jumping fish is a fun, visually stimulating way to target kokanee that will keep young and seasoned anglers alike involved throughout the day. As the water warms and the sun becomes higher in the sky, the fish will move deeper and trolling will be the technique to focus on. Jeremy suggests using "orange colored wedding rings and R & K Clown mini hoochies behind a dodger" when trolling for kokanee at either of these lakes. Although kokanee are a blast, don't forget that Odell offers some of Oregon's best mackinaw trout fishing in the state! Fish near the bottom in 80 to 120 feet of water with a J-plug or Yakima Bait's new Maglip in the 3.5 or 4.5 sizes along the north bank of the lake for the best success.
Both Odell and Wickiup offer fantastic lodging and camping options.
At Odell, Shelter Cove Marina offers quick access to the best fishing grounds on the west end of the lake and the ability to rush back to the moorage when the afternoon winds pick up. Odell Lake Lodge and resort offers nice cabins fit for the family at a reasonable cost as well. At Wickiup Reservoir, there are campgrounds located at each end. Look to North Wickiup and Round Swamp campgrounds for the best access to the fishing grounds on the reservoir.

Guns in the USA
A former pupil of a Florida high school shot and wounded a classmate on Friday just as students across the United States staged a walkout in protest at the country's gun violence.
The Sheriff's Office for Marion County said a 19-year-old suspect had been taken into custody at Forest High School in Ocala, Florida, where a 17-year-old student had been injured.
Billy Woods, the sheriff, said officers were still trying to identify a motive.
"It's a shame what society has come to in that we even have to be here on a school campus," he said.
"Society has changed since I was in school… We as a whole need to do something."

The shooting was reported a little before 9am on a day meant to mark the anniversary of the shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999, when 13 people died.
So proud of the #NationalSchoolWalkout and all of the students around the country who are standing up for positive change and demanding what we deserve. Keep marching forward and NEVER settle for less.

It was organised by students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where 17 people were shot dead by a former pupil in February.
They have launched a nationwide campaign to tighten gun control, leading to boycotts of companies that are connected to arms manufacturers.
Countries with more guns have more mass shootings
Some 2,600 schools were expected to take part.
Carlos Rodriguez, a 17-year-old from Marjory Stoneman, travelled to Columbine for the anniversary and said he found a sense of solidarity in the outpouring of support.
"That's the only thing that's keeping us Douglas students alive right now: the distraction of fighting for our rights and advocating for our lives," he told Reuters.

Protesters also gathered outside the White House carrying "Enough Is Enough" and "Books Not Bullets" banners. They chanted "We will vote" as they marched.
"A lot of people from my school came to show our support for increasing safety at schools and for better gun control legislation," said Matt Compton, a 15-year-old at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland.
The latest polls suggest the campaign is having an impact on public opinion.
An ABC News/Washington Post survey found that 62 per cent of respondents supported a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons, up from 50 percent in mid-February and 45 per cent in late 2015.
However, students in some conservative districts reported they were warned of disciplinary action if they walked out of school.

Dudley Brown, president of the Colorado-based National Association for Gun Rights, said the gun-control movement seeks to have the government take away constitutional rights.
"The main objective of these students is to ban firearms completely, and confiscate the firearms of law-abiding Americans," he told Reuters. "We will oppose them at every step."

November Knights Notes of Note
By Tom Urtz Jr@TomUrtzJr Dec 2, 2022, 7:00pm EST
Share All sharing options for: November Knights Notes of Note
In addition to writing here at Knights on Ice, I also provided coverage on the New York Rangers at Blueshirt Banter. A format that I've used there for some reaction stories, that I've unabashedly stolen from my managing editor Joe, is bullet point notes.
I figured that it would be a good idea, going forward, to recap the previous month of Golden Knights hockey with some notes of note. I am a sucker for alliteration, and I hope you enjoy this first installment, and enjoy the rest of your Friday.
Vegas went 9-4-1 in the month of November and captured 19 of a possible 28 points that were up for grabs. The month saw them win 5 in a row, lose two in a row, win, lose, win two in a row again, lose two in a row again, and end the month on a good note with a shoot out win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Golden Knights defeat Blue Jackets 3-2 in shootout for 10th road win of season
Additionally, Vegas scored 50 goals which was 6th-best in the league, and allowed 46 which puts them 19th overall. The team had been on some really solid footing in terms of goals surrendered, but a down month in goal and continued inability to execute on special teams didn't help things.
The Golden Knights had an interesting month on special teams in which they went 8 of 38 (21%) on the power play, while going 26 of 36 on the penalty kill (72.2%).
Vegas scored first in 8 games, and their opponents drew first blood in the 6 remaining contests.
Logan Thompson drew the lion's share of work appearing in 10 games, and he posted a record of 8-2-0 with a .909 save percentage, and a 2.88 goals against average. He was also named the NHL's Rookie of the Month for November.

In the remaining games Adin Hill went 1-2-1 with a .864 save percentage and a 3.80 goals against average, a stark decline from his October results.
Alex Pietrangelo led the team in scoring with a line of 2-8-10 in 13 games, while William Carrier was the top goal scorer with 7 goals! in 14 games. This is a big deal for Carrier who scored 9 goals all of last season, and this season is up to 8 in 24 games played.

He has more goals than:

Jack Eichel also had a strong month and led skaters with an xGF% of 58.90 in 201:58 played at 5v5 per Natural Stat Trick. He was third in total scoring with 9 points in 14 games played.
He's enjoying a tremendous start to the season, and could find himself in the Hart Trophy conversation if he keeps things up.

Overall, things went really good for the Golden Knights in November, and they were able to weather a bit of a bumpy patch after their win streak ended. They will look to continue that success in the month of December, and continue their journey back to the playoffs.

Bifenox is the ISO common name for an organic compound used as an herbicide. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase which is necessary for chlorophyll synthesis.

History
The nitrophenyl ethers are a well-known class of herbicides, the oldest member of which was nitrofen, invented by Rohm  & Haas and first registered for sale in 1964. This area of chemistry became very competitive, with the Mobil Oil Corporation's filing in 1969 and grant in 1974 of a patent to the structural analog with a COOCH3 group adjacent to the nitro group of nitrofen. Bifenox was launched with the brand name Mowdown in 1981. Meanwhile Rohm  & Haas had patented and developed acifluorfen (as its sodium salt with brand name Blazer) in 1980. Both compounds had much improved properties including a wider spectrum of herbicidal effect and good safety to some crops, including soybean.

Synthesis

The preparation of bifenox first described in the Mobil patent includes as its final step an Ullmann condensation between the potassium salt of 2,4-dichlorophenol and methyl 2-nitro-5-chlorobenzoic acid.

Mechanism of action
The detailed mechanism of action for nitrofen, acifluorfen and related diphenyl ether herbicides was unknown at the time they were invented. The effects visible on whole plants are chlorosis and desiccation: several hypotheses were advanced regarding the molecular-level interactions which might explain these symptoms. The now-accepted explanation for the damage is that these compounds inhibit the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase, which leads to an accumulation of protoporphyrin IX in the plant cells. This is a potent photosensitizer which activates oxygen, leading to lipid peroxidation. Both light and oxygen are required for this process to kill the plant.

Uses
Bifenox is not currently used in the United States although in 1981 it had been subject to a full regulatory review, under the then-new "Registration Standard" process.  Within the European Union, a 2-tiered approach is used for the approval and authorisation of pesticides. Firstly, before a formulated product can be developed for market, the active substance must be approved for the European Union. After this has been achieved, authorisation for the specific product must be sought from every Member State that the applicant wants to sell it to. Afterwards, there is a monitoring programme to make sure the pesticide residues in food are below the limits set by the European Food Safety Authority. Bifenox is registered for use against weeds in crops including cereals, soybeans, sugarbeet and rice. In Switzerland, some of its formulations can be used in lawns and orchards.

Bifenox is normally applied postemergence (when weeds are visible in the crop). It controls or suppresses a wide range of species including Capsella bursa-pastoris, Galium aparine, Lamium purpureum, Myosotis arvensis, Papaver rhoeas, Veronica hederifolia, Veronica persica and Viola arvensis. The product is typically used at application rates of 720 g a.i. per hectare.

Area senior citizens will be able to hear some tips about elderly safety, eat a few nice meals and even have the chance to win a few door prizes at the sixth annual Lincoln Parish Sheriff's Office Senior Expo on Friday.
Sheriff Mike Stone said the event usually draws between 400 and 500 seniors from the parish, where they will be able to sit and listen to guest speakers present information about issues relevant to the elderly.
Former Louisiana Tech University and NFL star Terry Bradshaw was in his vintage homespun humor during a weekend appearance in Lincoln Parish. He and country and recording artist Kix Brooks hosted their annual fundraising golf tournament for the school at the Squire Creek Golf and Country Club on Monday after he had officials and Ruston businessman Steve Davison (right) laughing prior to Saturday's "T-Day" spring game at Joe Aillet Stadium. See more on page 3.
Becoming a little forgetful as one ages is simply part of the process, but forgetfulness that gets in the way of daily functioning is one of the top signs of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
Karen Kopera-Frye, interim department head of the department of gerontology, sociology and political science, Biedenharn Endowed Chair in Gerontology and professor of gerontology at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, said she is amazed sometimes at how little people know about the disease that is expected to increase by 37 percent between now and 2025. She will be giving a presentation at 6:30 p.m. today at the monthly educational meeting of the Ruston branch of the National Alliance for Mental Illness in the Community Room of the Community Trust Bank Financial Center.
When the Lincoln Parish Relay for Life Committee was looking for someone to honor as its Lincoln Parish Survivor of the Year it didn't have to look far in selecting Avalyne Nichols, a recent cancer survivor.
"I feel very honored to have been selected as the Lincoln Parish Survivor of the Year and to have the opportunity to represent Lincoln Parish," Nichols said.
Question: I planted some pansy plants in the fall but they never seemed to catch hold and grow. They looked sick, and I decided in late January to replace some with new plants. Well, they looked good when I planted them, but within six weeks, they started dying. Within three weeks, most of them were dead. What do you think was my problem? I used a good potting soil in the bed. And I kept them watered good. What can I plant in the flowerbeds that will not catch the same disease as the pansies?
CHOUDRANT — Terry Paxton Bradshaw has never been shy about showing his unbridled enthusiasm for various things, be it those four Super Bowl wins he guided as the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback in the 1970s or his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989.
But his youthful exhuberance goes to another level when he talks about his alma mater of Louisiana Tech University.
Being very pale and easily susceptible to sunburn, I rarely find myself able to stay outside for sporting activities for long periods of time unless I have properly applied enough sunscreen to save me from the blisters that will ensue. With that in mind, I was able to step out into the light for a little over an hour Saturday afternoon for a chance to watch the Louisiana Tech Bulldog football team compete in their annual 'T-Day' spring game.

If you've ever found your keys in the freezer or searched high and low only to find something missing right before your eyes, you understand just a fraction of what it is like to have your mind seem like it isn't your own.
Many people flock to health food stores and pharmacies to find vitamins, foods and other tricks to help them combat the forgetfulness that is a natural part of aging.
Throughout my years here, I've heard many young people complain that there's nothing to do in Ruston. And, a little more than a year ago a group of young people took that idea and ran with it.
Though they already loved the Dixie Center for the Arts, and the local arts program, they didn't feel the community was quite reaching out to all age groups. So, Troupe Dixie, a group of 20, 30 and 40-somethings, formed to bring activities downtown geared toward entertaining younger people.
