Mike Shields - CNN As news organizations slash budgets and scale back bureaus, CNN is expanding—except not in real life. In the week of Nov. 5, the news giant is set to open a news-gathering outpost in Second Life. And unlike news service Reuters, which embedded a real reporter in the online virtual world last year, CNN will rely on Second Life â€Sresidents” to do all the legwork. In the space, the network will create a variation of its i-Reports, the real-world vehicle through which average citizens contribute eyewitness reports. CNN will equip Second Life denizens with kits enabling them to transmit copy and photos. Visitors to Second Life will be able to get the latest news via kiosks scattered throughout the virtual community. And the network will act as a sort of journalism school, offering guidance to avatar citizen journalists via weekly â€Snews meetings” directed by CNN.com staffers. And it’s possible that down the line top CNN personalities including Larry King would conduct virtual training sessions for budding cyber journalists. Given that Second Life users tend to be highly passionate about the virtual space, CNN execs believe the community will embrace user-generated journalism—more than they would embrace simply repurposed content. â€SWe looked at what are people doing [in Second Life] that is meaningful to what we do,” said Susan Grant, executive vp of CNN News Services. siegfried roy love that we don’t have to take things from the real world and force them in.” As for whether the world of Second Life will generate news events worthy of reporting, i-Report producer Lila King is not concerned. After all, visitors to the online world include news-making personalities like Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House who most recently had the public guessing whether he’d jump into the presidential race (he hasn’t). CNN’s association with Second Life comes at a time when the digital phenomenon is awash in great lakes airlines hype but still far from cracking the mainstream. Its unique user base has hovered between 400,000 and 700,000 per month over the last year, according to Nielsen Online, and has twice fallen below the research firm’s Meanwhile, research company The Yankee Group in recent weeks produced a report on Second Life detailing a â€Spronounced” decline in usage. Senior analyst Christopher Collins said Second Life’s claims of 10 million-plus avatars skewed perceptions about its popularity. â€SThe people that are active there tend to be very active,” Collins said. But many users come to Second Life, he added, and are â€Sfrustrated, confused and don’t find it immediately compelling.” In fact, CNN’s aim in establishing the virtual bureau—which required â€Svery little investment,” according to Grant—is to learn. â€SI don’t think we are betting the whole farm on it,” she said. â€SIt’s one aspect of many ways we are engaging with users.” Source: MEDIAWEEK |

From Soo Today: Friday, December 21, 2007 SAULT STE. MARIE ************************* 21 percent of walleye sampled were stocked fish; no sign of VHS in stocks SAULT STE. MARIE, MI - Tom Gorenflo, Inter-Tribal Fisheries and Assessment Program (ITFAP) director, reported walleye fishing in the St. Marys river received another boost chippewa 2007 as the ITFAP raised and stocked 337,000 two-inch walleye summer fingerlings at various locations in the river. The program contributes significantly to the walleye population with reports Summer fingerling walleye were stocked at Potogannissing Bay, Raber Bay, Charlotte River, Lake George and Aune Osborn Park. ITFAP also assisted in the rearing and stocking of an additional chippewa six to eight-inch fall fingerling walleye, which were stocked in the river near Raber Bay and in Caribou Lake, an inland lake located near DeTour, Michigan. In addition to the summer fingerlings, fall fingerling walleye were raised and stocked in a cooperative venture between ITFAP and local landowners, Nathaniel Armstrong and Andrea McDonald, who own and operate several walleye rearing ponds in the Barbeau area. Three local sport-fishing clubs including the Raber Area Sportsmen’s Club, St. Marys River Sportsmen’s Club and the Caribou Lake chippewa purchased some of these fall fingerlings for stocking in the river and in Caribou Lake. The tribes and landowners also donated approximately 3,800 fall fingerlings to these clubs to help bolster their stocking efforts. Since 1998, ITFAP chippewa stocked the St. Mary’s river every year except 1999. Most of the fingerlings stocked by the tribes since 2001 have been marked chippewa oxytetracycline (OTC), a common fish marking technique. The primary purpose for marking the fingerlings is to help biologists distinguish stocked walleye from naturally reproduced walleye in the river. This helps biologists evaluate many aspects of the stocking program, including whether stocking is benefiting the sport chippewa in the river. During fall 2006, tribal biologists collected 62 walleye samples from a local charter boat operator in the river, and determined (from OTC marks) that 21 percent were stocked fish. These preliminary results suggest that the stocking program already contributes a sizeable number of walleye to the sport fishery, at least in the chippewa number of areas sampled so far. The percentage of OTC chippewa (stocked) walleye is expected to increase in the future. In January 2007, the ITFAP requested the assistance of several sport-fishing clubs in collecting walleye heads for OTC analysis. Since that time, ITFAP has received over 300 walleye samples from local eddie sutton fishermen. These samples will be analyzed for OTC marks during the winter months, which will provide a much better picture of the contributions of stocked fish to the sport fishery. ITFAP will again seek assistance from local sport-fishers in 2008, as evaluating the stocking program will require collecting samples for several years. Understanding where stocked walleye are harvested will also be valuable for determining the most appropriate stocking sites, and the best number to stock per site. In addition to the St. Mary’s river stocking, ITFAP continued the chippewa of 100,000 walleye summer fingerlings at Bay Mills in Brimley Bay and 140,000 in Lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay. Beginning in 2008, ITFAP plans to re-institute walleye stocking in Lake Huron’s St. Martin Bay, near the Carp and Pine rivers. Like all Great Lakes fishery agencies, ITFAP is concerned with the newly discovered fish virus, VHS. Since walleye are susceptible to VHS, ITFAP sent samples of either adult walleye or pre-stocked fingerlings to accredited laboratories for testing prior to stocking. Thus far, all 219 samples have tested negative for VHS. The Inter-Tribal Fisheries and Assessment Program’s hatchery is administered by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, and receives funding support from the Bay Mills Indian Community and the Grand Traverse Band of Chippewa and Ottawa Indians. |

Le 10 Novembre 2007 Merci Antoine Garnier de nous faire suivre toutes ces infos sur la communautĂ© &. mais javoue que celle-ci est plus quĂ©difiante : SOURCES DE : http://africdossier.oldiblog.com/ Merci Ă Appolinaire NoĂ«l Koulama Sur le site du Cofod (www.cofod.fr), on peut lire: « DĂ©sormais le Collectif des Familles pour les Orphelins du Darfour a pour objectif de prendre le relais de lArche de ZoĂ© pour toutes les actions qui ne concernent pas directement l’évacuation des enfants ». Le Parisien a rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© « lordre de mission » que Children Rescue a communiquĂ© au gouvernement tchadien; cet ordre de mission fixait lĂ©tablissement, au Tchad et pour une durĂ©e minimum de 2 ans, dun centre dhĂ©bergement durgence pour enfants et un poste mĂ©dical avancĂ©. On sait aujourdhui que lArche de ZoĂ© avait en fait planifiĂ© et organisĂ© un rapt des enfants pour les « Ă©vacuer » vers la France. Un matin, les responsables de l’ARCHE de ZOE, donnent, sans raison apparente, un congĂ© de trois jours Ă son personnel. Ce que ce dernier trouve suspect. C’est ainsi que certains membres du personnel dĂ©cident de surveiller les faits et gestes de ces responsables de l’Arche de ZoĂ©. Se rendant compte que les responsables de cette humanitaire de type spĂ©cial attachent les pieds et mains de ces pauvres gosses de 0 Ă 5 ans, comme ils attachent d’ailleurs un bandeau pour fermer leurs yeux avant de les embarquer vers l’avion affrĂ©tĂ© Ă cet effet, le personnel passe Ă l’action pour dĂ©noncer aux autoritĂ© s tchadiennes leurs patrons de l’Ache de ZoĂ©. Cest donc la perspicacitĂ© et le sĂ©rieux du petit personnel tchadien qui a permis de mettre fin Ă l’opĂ©ration. Parisbiotech: StĂ©phanie Lefebvre est Directrice adjointe de Parisbiotech. Dans le comitĂ© dĂ©valuation de Parisbiotech, aux cĂ´tĂ©s de StĂ©phanie Lefebvre, on trouve François Sarkozy, le frère cadet du PrĂ©sident français Nicolas Sarkozy. Il y siège en tant que Consultant de AEC Partners dont il est Senior Partner . AEC Partners est une sociĂ©tĂ© de conseil dans le domaine pharmaceutique basĂ©e Ă Paris. Ils navaient donc aucun mal pour organiser et financer lopĂ©ration dĂ©vacuation menĂ©e par l’Arche de ZoĂ© au Tchad. Quant au Cofod, créé le 24 aoĂ»t 2007, il a pour objectif de soccuper exclusivement des enfants du Darfour. Catherine Grandazzi, son secrĂ©taire gĂ©nĂ©ral, est nutritioniste et responsable qualitĂ© au sein de l’association Maia. Maia (www.maia-asso.org) soccupe entre autres de parents stĂ©riles et de GPA (Gestation Pour autrui). Dans ce contexte, il est impĂ©ratif que tous les protagonistes de lopĂ©ration sur le territoire tchadien restent au Tchad Ă la disposition de la Justice, quils soient suspects ou tĂ©moins; car en France ils seront très certainement lobjet de pressions et de manipulations zoe s ark aux james stewart de la vĂ©ritĂ©. La Justice et lÉtat Français ainsi que lÉtat tchadien doivent collaborer avec la Justice tchadienne pour Ă©tablir toute la vĂ©ritĂ© autour de lArche de ZoĂ© et des autres associations qui font du trafic d’enfants sur le continent africain. Auteur : Gilbert LĂ©onard Publication : 03 novembre 2007 DANS CETTE GALERE. Des citoyens français, intoxiquĂ©s par la propagande atlantiste, ont Ă©tĂ© convaincus qu’un gĂ©nocide se dĂ©roulait au Darfour, et, qu’ils pouvaient sauver des enfants d’une mort certaine. Ils ont financĂ© l’équipe de « l’arche de ZoĂ© » qui a tentĂ© d’enlever des enfants au Tchad. Etrangement, lorsque la presse s’est emparĂ©e de cette affaire, le PrĂ©sident Sarkozy tiger attack san francisco class="MsoNormal" style="background:#ffff99 none repeat scroll 0 50%;margin:0;" align="left"> pas venu au secours des enfants victimes, ni des familles françaises d’accueil, mais des voleurs d’enfants au Tchad. Pour protĂ©ger qui ? La presse française ne manque pas un Ă©ditorial pour brocarder le PrĂ©sident tchadien Idriss DĂ©by qui a accusĂ©, sans retenue, l’association humanitaire l’Arche de ZoĂ© d’avoir tentĂ© d’enlever des enfants pour satisfaire des pĂ©dophiles et se livrer Ă un trafic d’organes. SimultanĂ©ment, elle loue le PrĂ©sident français Nicolas Sarkozy, qui s’est immĂ©diatement dĂ©placĂ© au Tchad pour faire baisser la tension et rapatrier plusieurs prĂ©venus. L’OMBRE DE CECILIA : Le Figaro s’est fait l’écho de la colère de la nièce d’un des bĂ©nĂ©voles de l’Arche de ZoĂ© incarcĂ©rĂ© au Tchad : ce sapeur-pompier aurait Ă©tĂ© abusĂ© par les dirigeants de l’association qui lui aurait fait croire que l’opĂ©ration de sauvetage des enfants Ă©tait patronnĂ©e par Mais le quotidien n’indique pas de quelle manière les dirigeants de l’Arche de ZoĂ© avaient pu convaincre les bĂ©nĂ©voles d’un tel patronage s’il n’existait pas. Et si ce patronage Ă©tait imaginaire, pourquoi le PrĂ©sident Sarkozy s’est-il cru obligĂ© de monter immĂ©diatement en première ligne ? [2]. UN SARKOZY PEUT EN CACHER UN AUTRE : L’objet social de l’association l’Arche de ZoĂ© est d’« intervenir en faveur des enfants victimes du tsunami du 26 dĂ©cembre 2004, Ă Banda Aceh (Sumatra, IndonĂ©sie) pour leur permettre de retrouver des conditions de vie dĂ©centes par des programmes sanitaires, sociaux et Ă©ducatifs ; dĂ©velopper, mettre en Ĺ“uvre et coordonner des programmes de rĂ©habilitation de l’environnement familial et social de ces enfants ; dĂ©velopper tout programme en adĂ©quation avec les besoins des enfants et de leur environnement de manière Ă favoriser le retour Ă l’autonomie, de façon plus gĂ©nĂ©rale ; mettre en Ĺ“uvre toute action permettant de venir en aide aux enfants en difficultĂ©, en dĂ©tresse ou victimes de catastrophe s naturelles ». Comme ne le laisse pas deviner cet Ă©noncĂ© humanitaire, l’association est une initiative d’un organisme semi-public français, « Paris Biotech SantĂ© ». Celui-ci a Ă©tĂ© fondĂ© conjointement par l’UniversitĂ© PARIS V Descartes, l’INSERM, l’École centrale de Paris, et l’ESSEC, et dispose de tous les agrĂ©ments officiels nĂ©cessaires. Son objet est de soutenir des projets de crĂ©ation d’entreprises dans le domaine du mĂ©dicament, des dispositifs mĂ©dicaux et des services aux malades [3]. Paris Biotech SantĂ© gère un immeuble de 3 200 m², dont 2 500 m² de laboratoires, Ă l’hĂ´pital Cochin. Ces installations ont Ă©tĂ© inaugurĂ©es en grande pompe, il y a trois semaines par le maire de Paris, Bertrand DelanoĂ«, le PrĂ©sident de la rĂ©gion ĂŽle-de-France, Jean-Paul Huchon, et le PrĂ©sident de l’universitĂ© PARIS V Descartes, Jean-François Dhainaut [4]. Il rĂ©sulte de ce montage que la finalitĂ© ultime de l’Arche de ZoĂ© est de tester des programmes sanitaires sur des enfants en difficultĂ© dans le tiers-monde en vue de leur dĂ©veloppement commercial. Les liens organiques de l’Arche de ZoĂ© et de Paris Biotech SantĂ© sont attestĂ©s par l’avis de crĂ©ation de l’association publiĂ©e au Journal officiel de la RĂ©publique française du 2 juillet 2005. Il prĂ©cise : « Siège social : 23, rue HallĂ©, 75014 Paris. Courriel marmon group ». Au demeurant, StĂ©phanie Dhainaut-Lefèbvre, contact lĂ©gal de l’Arche de ZoĂ© est aussi la directrice adjointe de Paris Biotech SantĂ© et l’épouse du PrĂ©sident de l’universitĂ©. Melbourne 3000, Victoria, Australie). MalgrĂ© le communiquĂ© de la Fondation assurant n’avoir aucun lien avec l’association homonyme française, tous les responsables français sont membres de l’organisation-mère australienne, y compris Paris Biotech SantĂ© qui figure parmi la liste fiscale en notre possession. veryabcchritmas.blogspot.com align="left">ContactĂ© par tĂ©lĂ©phone, Paris Biotech SantĂ© indique que seul son directeur, le Professeur Olivier AmedĂ©e-Manesme, est habilitĂ© Ă rĂ©pondre Ă la presse et que celui-ci n’est pas joignable. C’est dommage car il aurait Ă©tĂ© en mesure d’indiquer quel avis le ComitĂ© d’évaluation de Paris Biotech SantĂ© a Ă©mis sur le programme Arche de ZoĂ© ; un ComitĂ© d’évaluation oĂą siège le Docteur François Sarkozy, MĂ©decin pĂ©diatre. ContactĂ© Ă son tour par tĂ©lĂ©phone, le secrĂ©tariat de François Sarkozy nous assure qu’il transmet notre question et nous rappellera. François Sarkozy est politiquement proche de son frère aĂ®nĂ©, le PrĂ©sident Nicolas Sarkozy, au point que celui-ci, lorsqu’il Ă©tait maire de Neuilly et ministre de l’IntĂ©rieur, l’avait fait nommer mĂ©diateur dans le conflit social de l’hĂ´pital amĂ©ricain de Neuilly [5]. Le Figaro le prĂ©sentait au lendemain de l’élection prĂ©sidentielle comme l’une des 100 personnalitĂ©s qui compteraient dĂ©sormais « au cĹ“ur de la future Ă©quipe de France » [6]. Le mĂ©dia sarkozyste (excusez le plĂ©onasme) prĂ©cisait : « Ce pĂ©diatre de 48 ans, vice-prĂ©sident du Conseil de surveillance d’une sociĂ©tĂ© de biopharmaceutique, s’est beaucou p rapprochĂ© de son grand frère Nicolas Sarkozy lors de la campagne, notamment Ă l’occasion de sĂ©jours brefs mais studieux dans la maison de François, en Provence. » De son cĂ´tĂ©, Le Nouvel Observateur indique : « Autant Nicolas Sarkozy entretient des relations orageuses avec son frère aĂ®nĂ© Guillaume, un temps vice-prĂ©sident du Medef, autant il se sent proche de François, un pĂ©diatre devenu manager. C’est chez lui que Sarkozy a reçu ses amis, le soir de son discours â€Sfondateur” du 14 janvier, et c’est dans sa maison du Midi qu’il s’est parfois rĂ©fugiĂ© pendant la campagne queens christmas speech [7]. Le Monde note : « Le frère cadet de M. Sarkozy a Ă©tĂ© beaucoup vu au cours de la campagne. C’est chez lui, dans sa maison des Alpilles, que l’ex-ministre a passĂ© de nombreux week-ends ces derniers mois. En l’absence de Mme Sarkozy - qui n’a Ă©tĂ© officiellement prĂ©sente au cĂ´tĂ© de son mari que le 14 janvier et le 22 avril, et enfin dimanche 6 mai sur le podium dressĂ© place de la Concorde, Ă Paris, au soir de la victoire, il a symbolisĂ© une prĂ©sence familiale autour du candidat. InterrogĂ© un jour sur le zoe s ark de sa prĂ©sence, François Sarkozy, soucieux de lever toute ambiguĂŻtĂ©, avait prĂ©cisĂ© : â€SJe ne le soutiens pas, je l’accompagne”. » [8]. François Sarkozy est aussi une personnalitĂ© influente des mĂ©dias. Ainsi LibĂ©ration lui a attribuĂ© un rĂ´le dans l’éviction de Robert Namias de la direction de TF1 au lendemain de l’élection prĂ©sidentielle [9]. moresupraultra.blogspot.com la rubrique « François SARKOZY de NAGY-BOCSA », le Who’s Who in France indique : « Interne de s HĂ´pitaux de Paris en pĂ©diatrie (1983-85 et 1987-89), Assistant au laboratoire de physiologie respiratoire de l’hĂ´pital Trousseau Ă Paris (1989-90) ; aux laboratoires Roussel-Uclaf zoe s ark de projet international pour les antibiotiques (1990-93), Directeur du dĂ©veloppement clinique international (19 94-95), Responsable du dĂ©veloppement international (1995) ; au groupe Hoechst Marion Roussel : Vice-prĂ©sident, Directeur de la gestion du portefeuille et des projets en dĂ©veloppement international Ă Bridgewater (États-Unis) (1996-98), Directeur mĂ©dical et pharmaceutique pour la France (1998-99) ; PrĂ©sident-directeur gĂ©nĂ©ral du Centre international de toxicologie (1998-99) ; Directeur mĂ©dical pour la France Ă Aventis (1999-2000), AssociĂ© du Cabinet de conseil en stratĂ©gie et en organisation devenu AEC Partners (depuis 2001), PrĂ©sident d’AEC Partners Inc. (depuis 2006) ; Vice-prĂ©sident, Membre du conseil de surveillance de Bio Alliance Pharma (depuis 2005) » Bio Alliance Pharma termine ses expĂ©rimentations humaines pour le lancement de mĂ©dicaments luttant contre des maladies opportunistes
Le monde étant petit, en 2006, le principal client de François Sarkozy à AEC Partners est le syndicat français de l’industrie pharmaceutique (LEEM), lequel emploie aussi Stéphanie Lefebvre de Paris Biotech Santé et de l’Arche de Zoé, via LEEM-Recherche.
Le président Idriss Déby ne s’est certainement pas exprimé à la légère. Le rapatriement des journalistes et des hôtesses de l’air impliqués dans cette opération a dû être chèrement négocié. Au demeurant, le Tchad, en traduisant en justice les responsables de l’Arche de Zoé, conserve un moyen de pression non-négligeable sur le président français.

MI5 bumps off ambitious IT plan | The Register Biting the hand that feeds mi5 />The Register » Enterprise » Original URL: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/07/04/mi5_it_bodge/ The British Security Service (BSS) got itself into such a pickle with its IT modernisation that it has been forced to scrap one of its key projects. The service was supposed to get a new document and records management system in 2004, but last April the Intelligence and Security Committee reported that the project had been giving the BSS gyp for a couple of years. The 2005/06 annual report revealed that the project had been abandoned: The original requirement for an electronic document and records management system was judged to be too ambitious and not deliverable within the budget and timescale agreed with HM Treasury. Instead, the service would make do with only&upgrading the core desktop and messaging system. In other words, buy the latest versions of Microsoft Office and Outlook. The committee could not reveal how much money the service has wasted on the scrapped project, but echoed advice given to government about its IT projects long before MI5 embarked on this bodge: The scope of any major project should be more clearly thought out at the outset. The project suffered, the committee said, because the secret service did not have enough project managers and IT experts to manage all their IT and capital projects at the same time. These same problems are still besetting the BSSs other ambitious IT mi5 - SCOPE, this one designed to securely link all 10 intelligence-related government organisations by way of a web interface. SCOPE was originally earmarked for completion in 2004. Then, phase one of the project, which involved installing computer equipment, was rescheduled for completion in April 2005. Now, this phase might be wrapped up by the end of 2006. Phase two, the linking of the departments, suffered security problems and issues with the quality of suppliers. Moreover, it suffered a common IT complaint - user acceptance. The departments on which the BSS was trying to foist SCOPE had not been consulted and were not happy with what they were given. As if that wasnt enough, the committee is concerned that the BSSs overstretched project and IT managers still have too much work on. SCOPE slippages mi5 that phase one and two will be running side by side. It is not clear whether the SCOPE team or partner departments will have enough people with the right technical skills to enable both phases to progress simultaneously, the report mi5 make matters worse for the BSS, there is also the upgrade of IT infrastructure and rebuilding of training facilities for the Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6 - the James Bond outfit. Whats more, GCHQ, Britains communications listening centre, has also recently had two major IT modernisation projects subsumed into its larger SIGmod (signals intelligence modernisation) programme. ® Nice video shows morecuefavor.blogspot.com of the future (25 June 2006) © Copyright 2006 Popular topics today: buynowbe |

See previous post here: http://endtimespropheticwords.wordpress.com/2007/08/14/patricia-king-extreme-prophetic-bob-jones-rick-joyner-kansas-city-prophets/ I did more researching and finally managed to find out a bit more about the controvery with Patrica King of Extreme Prophetic and the letter sent out to local church leaders in Phoenix. The information is not at all easy to find on their website, and some of it has only just been posted on there. Extreme Prophetic: Over the past three years, several leaders in the prophetic and apostolic community have publicly shared concerns about Extreme Prophetic’s Glory School and about our beliefs and teachings regarding the Third Heaven&.As some of you know, we submitted the Glory School to an intensive theological audit by Dr. Alistair Petrie. The Glory School and Third Heaven teachings passed the theological review. Me: The intensive theological audit consists of just one person - not two or three. Let any matter be established by two or three witnesses. Furthermore, Dr Alistair Petrie is far from being an outsider or neutral. He has known Patricia King aka Pat Coking since at least 2002, as Extreme Prophetics website carries book of enoch of his prophecies from that date where he was at a conference with her and other Elijah List favourites. Dr Alistair Petrie of Partnership Ministries, endorsed by C. Peter Wagner and Cindy Jacobs, is part of C Peter Wagners neo-gnostic network round table of apostles and prophets. He is an elder, answering to such heretics as C Peter Wagner, Bill Hamon and Chuck Pierce. He is a dominionist aka transformationist into cleansing, preparing and healing the land with an unbiblical bent on spiritual warfare. He is very much Latter Rain influenced. His theological audits endorsement book of enoch Kings ministry is therefore troubling in itself. Anybody directly connected to Wagner and his round table is extremely worrying as per my previous posts. Extreme Prophetic: Following the meeting, Peter Wagner, who oversaw the meeting, issued a public letter stating that book of enoch of Patricia’s or Extreme Prophetic’s theology or doctrines were in error. Me: C Peter Wagner, the self proclaimed head apostle of the new world church of false prophets says Patricia King is Ok does he? Ah, that puts my mind at rest then! Extreme Prophetic: In 2003, Patricia King was questioned/challenged by a few leaders in the Body regarding her Glory School teaching and in particular the aspects of Third Heaven, terminology, and experience. At that time she had a theological review done by Dr. Alistair Petrie and her teachings book of enoch the theological audit. In 2005, some concerns in the Phoenix area were made known publicly by a respected prophetic network in the region. The network never dialogued with Patricia in regards to these concerns, never allowed her the opportunity to clear up hearsay, never returned phone calls or emails from Patricia requesting a meeting to address their issues and talk it through; they simply issued a warning letter via email to their entire network of pastors. This letter was then forwarded to many and the ripple effect has spread to enormous levels of exaggeration and unwarranted concern. In the letter, they stated, â€Sthere remains a residue of the New Age in her ministry that can be spiritually misleading and book of enoch potentially dangerous.” As a result, there are rumors spreading that Patricia is operating in witchcraft, new myeuropepress.blogspot.com of enoch spirits, and is influenced by regional principalities of witchcraft. Me: I have not seen this letter so whylivingalerts.blogspot.com endorse book of enoch contents or comment on the way it was handled as I do not have the full facts to hand, neither do I know which particular Phoenix book of enoch prophetic ministry sent it out. However, regardless of this, there are serious concerns I have about Patricia King and her associates - the prophetic knights of the round table - and the church definitely needs to be warned about them. The church must be warned as they are so dangerous. (As an aside, I have noticed that the Phoenix area in particular seems to attract a lot of new wave prophecy people. It seems whynewyorkusa.easyjournal.com be a hot spot. I wonder if this is because of the occultic illuminati symbolism of the Phoenix arising from the ashes.) Patrica, before becoming a Christian, by her own admission was involved in the New Age and Occult communities. She claims, When you come out of book of enoch false, there is nothing in it to entice you. This is not at all true about the spiritual nature of deception and is rather a naive and possibly elitist view. (I am above being decieved). Satan is far smarter than Patricia gives him credit for and deception can be very subtle and seductive. The Book of Enoch, which was recognised by several of the apostles (eg Peter) as they directly quote from it in their letters, show what happens when humans hobnob with angels/spirits too much, as in the days of Noah before the great flood. These were Gods beautiful and mighty and intelligent and awesome angels, yet they led mankind astray into all kinds of wickedness. They had sex with the women and begat children from them giving birth to the nephilim race, and they taught humans all sorts of knowledge - which although acknowledged as being true knowledge was nonetheless forbidden by God. The people probably thought they were uktodaytarget.blogspot.com things book of enoch heaven - as the angels were from heaven and were beautiful - when in fact, they were learning things from hell. In these Last Days, humans are doing the same thing as in the days of Noah, even within the church. They are biting into the forbidden and hidden - that is book of enoch - knowledge and realms. I do not care if their experience or revelation bears the name of Jesus Christ on it or not, it is still forbidden, and it is still occultic, just as there are numerous superstitions, charms and spells with the name of Jesus on them that are still book of enoch in their origin book of enoch should be avoided as they are book of enoch by God and are not Christian. The early church gnostics had the name of Jesus written all over them and their experiences but they book of enoch still wrong, they were sinning and undiscerning and they were led into serious error. The knights templars and other mystics also acknowledged the name of Jesus (albeit another Jesus) - they added however a holy grail and other mystical occultic stuff to their quests. The holy grail to the new wave church seems to me to book of enoch new revelation obtained in the third heaven - obtained through occultic practices. The new wave church is becoming more and more occultic. As well as the apostolic-prophetic stuff, Tony Campolo is coming out with ideas of winning souls by sending messages to the lost via a form of telepathy akin to witchcraft. Occultic stuff does not have to bear the name of foreign gods, new age tags or Satan to be occultic. You can have Gods people innocently biting into the hidden forbidden - Adam and Eve did, and you can be sure they thought they were getting a taste of heaven and not hell! The rise of bridal mysticism could also lead to sexual encounters with spirits (as in the days of Enoch) when taken to extremes, as I am already hearing worrying things about feeling the kisses of his mouth and going into the kings bed chambers for intimacy with God, and men and women claiming they are feeling things they should absolutely not in these times. It wherenettour.blogspot.com mysticism gone way too far. The recieving of hidden mystical knowledge from angels/spirits is no better or more godly in these days than in the days of Enoch or in Eden! It is still wrong. It is still satanic-inspired! (NB, I believe angels can appear and give godly messages with no occultic influence. However, I do not acknowledge this experience should be actively sought by a Christian, and if it does happen, the angels/spirits must be tested. Man should never newsradiopress.blogspot.com to book of enoch yet many in the new wave church are, as well as conversing with demons.) Like I said, I do not care if it has the name of Jesus attached to it or not, it can be still wrong. Adam, with Eve, was seduced by the serpent (an ancient symbol of wisdom) by eating of the tree of knowledge in Eden with the tempting notion they would then be as God in their spiritual knowledge. (Some traditions hold that Eve targetcuemy.blogspot.com sex with the serpent too, which bearing in mind the Book of Enochs revelations about the daughters of Eve having sex with angelic beings may not be as crazy as it first sounds.) Now with new wave third heaven experiences or angelic encounters, the new church attempts to be paperdirectmy.blogspot.com the same way omniscient and as god. The prophetic has gone beyond its God-given bounds. It is one thing to talk with God and walk with Him, and have him share his words and heart with us so that He may be our God and lead us as His people, the people being completely humble and dependant on Him for everything - in Him we live and move and have our being. It is quite another to have divinatory knowledge for self-empowerment and to become as infallible and invulnerable gods - which is exactly what the Latter Rain movement aspire to. The sign of the serpent is clearly in their midst. (As to third heaven experiences, yes they are Biblical, Paul and John and others had them and I do not see a reason why they cannot happen today, cuemyusa.blogspot.com I do not believe they resemble what Patricia King and her associates teach, book of enoch do I believe they are common place.) It all comes down to a rebellious and disobedient church with itchy book of enoch not interested in the truth. I was reading just last night of the prophet Micaiahs confrontation with the evil King Ahab. (1 Kings 22) This passage is fascinating. It says that God purposely sent a lying spirit to communicate a false message to the king through the kings prophets, in order that Ahab might be deceived and ultimately be killed in battle. Ahab was awaiting Gods delayed punishment for his treatment of Naboth in the vineyard episode, and so this is one of the reasons God made it happen. However, also Ahab complained that the one godly prophet on his staff, Micaiah, never said anything good about him (as no godly prophet could - Ahab was evil!). Ahab only wanted to hear good stuff - which would be, by default, lies in his case - from the false prophets and so God let him hear what he wanted to hear. And so with many in the church today. Much of the modern church is heartless, rebellious and disobedient: rather than wanting to hear about book of enoch leading to righteousness and true discipleship and obedience, and a preparation for tribulation, the modern church wants to hear only the good: blessing, prosperity, anointing, power, signs and wonders and revival and overcoming. They therefore, consciously or not, willingly deceive themselves as they are not lovers of the truth. The truth is hard. Conviction -ugh! Anointing - yee hah!!! The emerging church gospel proclaims a Jesus without repentance, a type of godliness dependant on worship and anointing, and signs and wonders and revival without anything hard like conviction and repentance coming first. I note that Patricia Kings statement of faith is very much based on experience and book of enoch and wonders with pages dedicated to this yet absolutely nothing on godly living or true holiness and sanctification. She says: I believe that an individual is saved by personally accepting Jesus as their Savior and Lord. This results in the experience of being â€Sborn again” and grants access into the Kingdom of God. She does not mention the key words - repentance or righteousness - anywhere in her lengthy doctrinal statement. It is a very worrying omission. The Apostle Paul tells us that God will send strong delusion in the Last Days because targetonlyvery.blogspot.com will no longer love the truth - they actually want to be deceived so God gives them what they want in their heart of hearts. Rahab, who waow a debate with in the previous post on Patricia King, is a typical example of someone who does not love the truth. La, la, la, I am not listening! so God will give her and others like her over to this delusion. The coming of the lawless one (the antichrist) will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives book of enoch are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them book of enoch delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because europeusaeurope.blogspot.com the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. (2 Thessalonians 2:9-15)* The protection against believing this delusion is making sure one book of enoch a lover of the truth - are you a lover of the truth? - and standing firm on the teachings of the early churchs apostles such as Paul - that is the written word of God which takes precedence over any so called rhema or revelation. Patricia Kings way of discerning things is very telling. Extreme Prophetic: &.However, in order to honor the concerns of those who would bring up the possibility of my being influenced by demonic forces, I have submitted myself to (8) people (seers/discerners/intercessors) I trust, to have them pray for discernment. I asked them to break book of enoch power of any demonic influence or stronghold book of enoch my life if paperfreenews.blogspot.com discerned anything. Following their time of prayer, none of them discerned any witchcraft or occult influences or spirits in me or through me although a couple of them believed that I was being assaulted by some principality forces that were using others to falsely accuse me. and&According to rumors, some believers felt they had discerned Patricia was operating under spirits of witchcraft or the new age and in book of enoch cases felt that principalities were channeling through her. As a result, she insisted on submitting herself to discerners in the Body. She wanted to be clean of anything that was ungodly. We chose discerners who we trust. Some book of enoch her and some did not know her well. After seeking the Lord for insight and discernment, all reported that they did not discern any demonic activity in or through her whatsoever. I note that these people did not test and weigh up her practices and words against the word of God. They trusted in their neo-revelation and spiritual warfare. Note these people are linked to her - in the same gnostic camp - and also note that King again says if they discerned anything this way they should break anything over her through spiritual warfare - not bring it to her attention, so she may change her mind and lead her to repentance and correction. It is all gnostic. >believed that I was being assaulted by some principality forces that were using others to falsely accuse me. I cannot see anyone falsely accusing her. The church has a perfect right to have concern over her and her ministry and to question it. I further have book of enoch about her discernment. Quoting Patricia - I remember the first time I roared in 1995. I had heard about the roarings and I was troubled by it. Charlie Robinson was over at our place as he had book of enoch returned with our team from a cross Canada tour. He shared that he had roared when he was in Toronto. I was concerned but decided to hear him share. He showed me scriptures and shared testimony. Suddenly, I received an urge to get down on all fours&..it was not a sovereign power that came on me just a stirring in my spirit. I resisted it at first and then I felt I should obey the nudge&as soon as I got down on all fours the power of the Spirit came on me and oh my goodness&things really moved then with full roarings and everything. I had to step into it first by faith though&following through on the simple, quiet, nudging of the Holy Spirit. Since that time, I have been in prayer meetings and the Holy Spirit has led me to move into groanings and roarings. I did not feel naturally inclined but moved into it by obedience&.after the choice to obey then we experienced great anointing. >Over a number of years (since book of enoch the Lord has revealed to me in diverse ways (&such as ..) trances I saw visions of the church moving in true supernatural acts. One specific and very vivid open trance vision in February 1995 revealed a corporate group of Christians rising up off the ground during a worship encounter. In the same vision, I also saw Christians being transported in the spirit from one geographical location gol tv another. I saw them soaring in the spirit over cities and nations making decrees of the Word of God in full authority. The voice of the Lord spoke clearly during this encounter saying, â€SMany of My book of enoch people will say these experiences are empowered by occult power but what you see is not fueled by a false source. It is My power being displayed. Many signs and wonders will occur.” â€SAt that time the sons of God will be fully manifested on the earth. Widespread spiritual warfare will result with the sons of God doing battle with Satan and company, the non-Christian nations of this world will also be defeated. Once the earth has been subdued, Jesus will come back to earth and be given the Kingdom that has been won for Him by this â€Smanchild company.” The Manifested Sons of God doctrine teaches that these sons will be equal to Jesus Christ: immortal, sinless, perfected sons who have partaken of the divine nature. They will have every right to be called gods and will be called gods.” (Bill Hamon). This is NOT the gospel of God. Steer clear of King and her book of enoch and sound the alarm. **(And for those pre-tribbers who believe Christians will be raptured before the tribulation. Id gonewsred.blogspot.com to point out verses 1 and 8: Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him&..And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. This is entirely in accord with post tribulation doctrine, the antichrist gets destroyed when or just after Jesus returns. It is when Jesus returns that he gathers his saints to him: ie cueeuropenewyork.blogspot.com rapture, book of enoch takes place right about the time of the destruction of the antichrist. As no great tribulation would occur if there is no antichrist, so the tribulation must have occured before the return of Jesus and the rapture for this to make sense!) |

It is Saturday before Christmas, and I know that many of you are out shopping or traveling, or eating or spending time with family, or all of the above.

Note: if for da love of money not predisposed to a healthy dose of introspection and self-immolation with respect to college athletics, please skip this missive. We hate ourselves and everything we stand for after writing this. Consider the following quotation: If you were giving the [athletic] scholarship to an intellectually brilliant kid who happens to play a sport, that’s fine. But they give it to a functional illiterate who can’t read a cereal box, and then make him spend 50 hours a week on physical skills. That’s not opportunity. If you want to give financial help jamie lynn spears pregnant minorities, go find the ones who are at the library after school. (emphasis added) These words were uttered last week in the New York Times by Rutgers literature professor William C. Dowling, who now finds himself embroiled in a brouhaha over the intent and implied racism inherent in his statement. Both hotbegintour.easyjournal.com Rutgers university president and athletic director have condemned Dowlings remarks, and Dowling has shot back at both by accusing them of running an athletic program that openly exploits minority athletes for the universitys gain. Were it that Dowling was just another old white guy who is completely out of touch with racial politics as it relates to sports in the 21st Century, we might Rutgers prof William C. Dowling But what his statement does is once again expose the dirty little secret of big-time college athletics, a secret that nobody outside of a few academics such as Dowling, Murray Sperber, Andrew Zimbalist and others seem willing to broach. Youll certainly never hear Dick Vitale or Brent Musberger on fall or winter Saturdays remark as to why Michigan football players average an SAT score of 834 vs. 1271 for the student body or why Duke basketball players average an 887 vs. 1392. Instead, youre just as likely to hear them refer to players at these schools as quintessential student-athletes who do things the right way. After all, exposing the academic hypocrisy at elite institutions such as Michigan and Duke calls into question the integrity of the whole house of cards, and potentially weakens the cash cow on which Vitale, Musberger and others depend. This is a complex and difficult issue, and we dont purport to know all the right questions to ask, much less the answers. But to paraphrase Lenny Kravitz, does anybody out there even care? Sure, the standard college fans MO is that our guys are solid, upstanding citizens who go to class and caress kittens in their spare time, while your guys are animalistic thugs who dont even know where classes are held and spend their evenings involved in gunplay and misogyny that would make OJ (Simpson) proud. But its not simply a matter of folks caught unawares - whats quietly whispered among other students and faculty is that the athletes as a general rule are treated differently than the rest of the student body. Class attendance usually isnt optional, but certain departments and professors are considered amenable to the greater good of the Nobody Here is Worried about Beer & Circus And yet& despite our knowledge of this institutionalized hypocrisy by the universities, and despite the internal antarctica desert we experience when watching various players in interviews struggle with the English language, and despite the intellectual and moral disconnect of passing judgment on other schools troubled players while minimizing and mitigating our own, we still watch the games. Michigan puts 110,000 fans into the Big House every fall weekend, and millions more watch from home. People like us write blogs devoted to the whimsy of whether Florida will win the SEC East or if Keven Durant will go pro. Yet its telling that were still waiting to hear where yet another incident of beer & circus mentality at a university has led to decreased fan interest to the point where they turn their backs on the athletic program. Incredibly, if anything, it appears that severe NCAA sanctions embolden fans ire toward the dime-droppers and the NCAA rather than those students, faculty and administrators perpetrating the crimes in the first place. The simple truth is that while all of us love to announce to the world that this stuff bothers us, the truth is that as college sports fans, we just dont care. Or put more specifically, we dont care enough to demand change, and we say this to be honest rather than flippant. Like many things in life, such as our genders insistence that we value other characteristics in women besides john berg the reality is that all of the other stuff is secondary to the girls hotness. Sure, we like it when shes smart, caring, personable, etc., just as we hope our teams players will behave responsibly on and off the field/court. But what we really want is to win games (and get with the hottie) so that we can exult in the reflected glory of our teams success, and whether we do so in an ambiguously irresponsible or immoral manner is less important than the results measured in Ws and Ls. So while we completely agree with Dowlings point that a better way to assist minorities would be to find true student-athletes who excel in both the classroom and the gym, the harsh reality is that such a priority shift would likely turn the teams that we love into Stanford football (1-11 last season) or Dartmouth basketball (9-18), and what alumnus living outside of the ivory tower wants that? Update: Dr. Sperber referred us to an article he recently wrote for the Chronicle of Higher Education called On Being a Fan. This article crystallizes the internal conflict of doublethink that we feel when we spend our time watching and rooting for college teams while recognizing the hypocrisy of the system. Sperber states this much better than we can: Such critics have always had logic on their side. But most have overlooked the inescapable reality that fan attitudes on college sports are beyond reason, even irrational, and that frequently they stem from childhood experiences and family bonding: Many of my students at Indiana said that their earliest memories included sitting on the couch with their family in front of the TV away from her rooting for the Indiana University Hoosiers. For many other fans, the attachment to a team connects to positive feelings about their college days — indeed, that is the basis of my own loyalty. To overturn such deep emotions with logic and reason is almost impossible. |

Yesterday, it suddenly occurred to us that it was nearly Halloween and horror of horrors, we didn’t have any pumpkins to carve! As it was The Sicilian out to be a beautiful fall day, bright blue skies with just a hint of chill in the air, we decided that we would go to one of the local pumpkin patch/corn mazes and make a fun afternoon of it. About half an hour later, it started to rain. I think we all collectively sighed before we shrugged our shoulders. The rains have definitely started and it doesn’t slow a true Seattlite down for long. Then it started to hail. Evidently we weren’t destined to go to a pumpkin patch. Instead, we hit one of the even more local pumpkin patches that have been set up in front of every grocery store around. Our next mission was to carve the pumpkins. KT begged us all to clean the guts out of her pumpkin for her. All those stingy, slimy guts gross her out. Of course, realizing it was much fun to watch her, nobody agreed to help her out. (Was that bad?) The rest of us quickly cleaned ours out and set to work. Everyone had their own idea of how the perfect Jack O’ Lantern should look. When we were done, we all naturally thought our own was the Bestest of the Best. I guess it’s a little tough to have a contest when it’s only us voting. We thought The Texas Chainsaw Massacre maybe we could put a little poll on the front porch and have the Trick or Treaters tell us what they thought. Then realizing that certain family members weren’t above cheating, we decided to put the vote up on the blog. So…please vote for your very favorite pumpkin iran flag (If you pick me I’ll be sure to slip you some extra of the good candy!) That includes you lurkers out there too! I dont know if its me or Wordpress, but I cant get this poll to work. Please click here so you can vote for my pumpkin!! |
