Jacob Prasch & The Shameful ‘Enabling 8’

During Fall 2018 Jacob Prasch the at-the-time-believed-to-be Jewish-American Bible teacher, sparked a series of witch-hunts on South African minister David Nathan, Scottish Christian heads of Christian media group Global Vision 24/7 and British Christian group Intercessors For BritainIt caused various people to begin looking into Prasch’s claims that all were heretics or something akin to that.  Research found that Prasch had lied about them all (as clear as day in video form).  When that evidence was presented, instead of repenting of his exposed sins, Prasch doubled down, and encouraged his followers to do the same.

Catalyst Counselling, a British charity that helps those damaged by abusive religious groups, began investigating Prasch and found him to be guilty of spiritual abuse and bullying “of the worst kind”, and concluded Prasch was not a Christian as he showed non of the fruit of the Spirit the Book of Galatians in the New Testament says will be exhibited in true believers.  Starkly, contrarily, half the bad fruit of the unregenerate person that Galatians 5 also speaks of could be seen in abundance in Prasch.

The exposing of Prasch and his charity Moriel caused a lot of people to move away from any association with Prasch, astonished at how evil he had been behind the scenes as well as publicly, with railing emails sent out to various targets whom he tried to bully into submission.

From January 2019 to present day in mid November 2019, Prasch’s witch-hunts have continued with Anton Bosch, Dr. James White, and Amir Tsarfati being on the receiving end of his attacks—in each case Prasch utilised faked or slanted information against them, going so far as lying about the contents of his own books in order to escape the apparently small charge of spelling words wrong, the result being Anton Bosch being consigned to eternal Hell as a heretic.

Whilst it is understandable that in Fall/Winter 2018 few people would have known quite how Hellish Prasch had been acting, and it would have taken people time to fact-check the exposés on him, but now, a full calendar year after the first exposé was released, there is no excuse for “Christian” leaders and heads of Christian ministries to support him.  Consequently I’ve made a list of the Enabling Eight: those being the 8 “Christian” individuals/group who have worked hard to ignore the evidence, and have tried earnestly to be Prasch’s apologists in order to assist him in maintaining his position in the Christian community to the detriment of the Christians he (and some of them!) have openly attacked and spiritually abused.

The Enabling Eight:

  1. Marco Quintana

Marco is on the Moriel Ministries board as well as being a minister in Devore, California.  He has used his church’s YouTube channel to release a video in Spring 2019 which saw him bare-faced lie for 5 minutes, repeating multiple times that no evidence existed against his Moriel ‘President’ Prasch.  Marco was a speaker alongside Prasch last week in England at the Moriel UK Conference 2019.

  1. David Lister aka David Filister

Lister is the grossly overweight “treasurer” of Moriel who is paid $87,100 per year to do 35 hours per week by Moriel.  He seems to spend the majority of this time writing apologetics for Prasch, and allows his name to be put to badly misspelt documents damning people, which were clearly written by the dyslexic (and drunk?) Prasch.

  1. Joshua Chavez aka Josh Chav aka Servus Christi

Chavez was taken on as the Moriel social media man in early summer 2018 and his presence has coincided with Prasch’s moral collapse.  He has also worked hard to assist Prasch in presenting false information against the likes of Amir Tsarfati, and to try to clear his boss of wrongdoing.  To this day he introduces Prasch in Prasch’s Moriel TV slanderous “attack” videos.

  1. Amos Farrell

Amos Farrell threw his weight behind Prasch late 2018 and released a baffling video made to assist the Monty Pythonesque witch-hunt of David Nathan which boldly stated David Nathan had started the New World Order.  To add to such insane nonsense, Farrell also put his name to a fake document claiming it was from the “Police” of the UK, New Zealand and South Africa, that had—surprise surprise—cleared Prasch of all spiritual abuse charges.  Farrell persists in attacking Prasch’s targets via social media and is known to turn up at churches and cause trouble.

  1. CMFI (Christian Ministerial Fellowship International)

CMFI is the “Christian” organisation in Britain who Prasch is part of (as are some others on the list due to the fake credibility CMFI peddle) who were asked to seriously look into the claims against Prasch and Moriel, but only excused him whilst admitting they’d only looked at Prasch’s evidence.  They are known to publicly support the books published by Anaheim-based Witness Lee Cult ‘The Lord’s Recovery’ (see this video from 1:45).

  1. Mike Benade

Benade is the second of 3 alleged Police members who put their names to the fake Police document Prasch used to excuse his behaviour.  Benade is based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and is believed to be the retired Police Captain and Moriel affiliate who Prasch tried to arrange to get his former colleagues to turn up at the door of researcher Deborah Du Rand after she wrote a negative article based on facts about Prasch.

  1. John Haller

Haller is an attorney and “prophecy” update teacher based at Fellowship Bible Chapel in Ohio, USA.  Haller has worked behind the scenes with Prasch and plotted to sue Christian Jan Markell after Jan correctly pointed out Prasch has mental problems.  Haller has acted as an apologist for Prasch as recently as October, and, like Quintana, is on his Moriel teaching circuit.

_________________ Cut/tear along perforation line? ____________

UPDATE: The 8th member below, Bill Randles, has become a hero in the months after this original blog post was published.  I’ll leave the text below simply as a record of the tremendous change he has gone through in becoming one of the most vocal faces of the movement to warn the church publicly about Jacob Prasch.  Well done Bill!

  1. Bill Randles

Randles is a minister in Iowa who was for years on the Moriel teaching circuit, and when expected to stand up to his long-time friend in Fall 2018, he briefly did, before chickening out (see first 3 minutes of this video), having enabled Prasch by assisting in Prasch’s witch-hunt of David Nathan, spin-doctoring, going so far as to have brought in a drifter to film anti-Nathan films in his church (see minute 8-9 of this video).  When Prasch eventually called Randles his Judas and witch-hunted him, Randles became a full-time history revisionist to protect his inflated self-image (see comments section of this film and from this blog post).

Because a full year has passed since evidence first began to be disseminated about Prasch’s wicked, godless and Satanic behaviour, and all these people have persisted in making excuses for Prasch in the face of that evidence, they all carry much of the blame for the spiritual damage Prasch has caused.

UPDATE March 2020:

The squad of Prasch-loving idiots has expanded with more alleged ‘leaders’ in the Christian world supporting him and giving him the platform the Bible forbids him from taking due to him being a compulsive liar, a railer, a slanderer, and a drunk. The now Thirteen enablers are listed here.

9 thoughts on “Jacob Prasch & The Shameful ‘Enabling 8’

  1. Bill Randles has separated from Prasch a few month ago already and you know that, yet conveniently leave that part out. You keep on making posts like this and only mention certain things. Maybe it’s time to stop, what good is coming from this continued campaign?

    Liked by 2 people

    1. I mention clearly that Prasch turned on him and witch-hunted him. It’s like 1/3 of the Randles entry is post-split.
      I appreciate your question about why continuing it though, Francois. It’s because Prasch is continuing on as if nothing has happened, and so are his apologists. When you consider the damage they’ve done over this year, if it continues as it looks set to, how many more will be damaged?
      But personally I’d like to see it end and Prasch be called to account. It isn’t happening though, in large part because of his enablers.

  2. The good that is coming from this is that the facts are continuing to be presented as a warning to others to beware of these men. Jacob Prasch and Bill Randles may have parted ways but the company that they’ve kept with each other over the past couple of decades certainly reveals a pattern of toxicity that both continue on in. Jacob and Bill both continue to trash David Nathan. Only difference is, Bill still calls David a “friend” just a few days ago Bill said
    “Anyway, I meant it when in April, I told you that I considered David a friend, I did at that time, until he repudiated me to you, in “fact checking Bill Randles”. I was surprised by David’s reply, and answered him immediately, point by point. I have yt to hear from him. In God’s good time I will endeavor to reach out to David, but I realize I may not be succesfull. Too many people making it worse by lodging false accusations, misreading motives, and pouring fuel n the fires of strife” Bill said this five days ago. ”

    In August Bill puts out an article (Abusing Discernment) saying again of David Nathan:

    “In one recent case a serious heretic was being confronted, but had the good sense to just stand back and allow one of the leading defenders of the faith who was confronting him , to spew forth his anger and bile. The heretic presented himself so much better than his chief detractor, remaining calm, trying to show himself pacific (up to a point) , that he gained many followers though it all in spite of his open and outrageous claims denying the Father as Creator, and diminishing the blood of Jesus in the Millennium.
    How did this blatant heretic get away with it?
    His chief detractor was right doctrinally, but so wrong personally, engaging in vicious rhetoric with several people at once, members of his ‘ministry’ created vicious graphics to ridicule his enemies, He called a confessing Christian woman vile names, lashing out right and left and virtually spitting and frothing at the mouth, denouncing anyone who tried to bring moderation as Judas, (All in Public!).
    All the heretic had to do was act humble, seem moderate, double down on his false teaching, and let his detractors shoot themselves in the foot. As far as I know, he is more popular than ever and still spouting outrageous claims in the name of the LORD>.”

    In one of his videos Bill has put out just a few weeks ago “defending” himself from Jacob’s accusations, he still points out how he stood with Jacob against David Nathan. How do you call someone “friend” then “serious heretic”? If Bill applies Matthew 18 as a point of reconciliation with Pat and I and he thinks it’s the correct process then why isn’t he contacting not only David Nathan but Treena Gisborn and tbckawaii as well? Instead of telling us how bad they are? Why does Bill pray for reconciliation with Jacob, even after Bill points out Jacob’s error of teaching from the Kabbalah? Jacob is an unrepentant man and Bill wants to reconcile with him? It was the responsibility of each of these men listed here to step up and apply the scriptures to restore. They have justified their own agendas at a very great cost. One year later and who is stilling talking about David Nathan and the Menelaws? Jacob and Bill.

  3. I was looking through the stats for this website and noticed this week a ‘referrer’ website was Servus Christi’s fool website beginningofsorrows.org
    So basically Beavis Christi on 6th January 2020 posted a fool blog post titled ‘Does Your Character Match Your Reputation?’ in which Beavis tried to call people to righteous living (ooooohkaaaayyy, so read his entry in this blog here which details his involvement in enabling the Jacob Prasch Personality Cult’s abuse of victims). In March 2020 someone had replied in Beavis’ comments to that blog post and in it linked THIS blog post that basically showed Beavis was a fool hypocrite! GENIUS!
    But after Beavis Christi clicked the link and arrived here, he DELETED the comment to stop people seeing what he’d been up to in 2019! However, the link recorded in my stats showed where it came from, and that he had chosen to reject the comment after clicking it’s link!

    Hmmmm, I wonder why Beavis Christi wants to hide the evidence that he’s a hypocrite and a godless little thuggish turd?

  5. It’s not by my standards that I present Prasch as a drunk, Micki, it is via the state-wide standard method of ascertaining alcohol intoxication presented by the Oregon Liquor Commission.
    If stuff like that doesn’t change your mind about Prasch, what about his South Africa million dollar fraud?
    Or do you overlook fraud too?
    I get it you like Prasch, Micki, but he has rendered himself the most disqualified “Christian” teacher known to man.

“People go from Minden to Shreveport, not the other way around.”

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that or a similar statement. When something is repeated enough times, it is perceived as truth. But it isn’t true.
Any given night, you can venture out to Crawfish Hole Number Two in Dixie Inn and find plenty of folks from Shreveport, Bossier and other places outside of Minden. Why? Because their crawfish is famous in regional circles.

Closer to home, I personally know multiple photographers who love to come to downtown Minden for photo shoots. The brick streets and intricate architecture provide great backgrounds and more.

I recently learned that students at Minden’s “Walmart Academy,” come from various towns in our region. They expressed how much they love Minden and “didn’t know what was here.” Many went on to say the would be back with the families for another visit.

Last year’s Grilling on Main attracted hundred of competitors from far and wide.

Since the closing of Walmart in Homer, our Minden store has become a weekly stop for many from Claiborne Parish.

Did you know that many people can get to Minden from Bossier City than to Youree Drive in Shreveport?

People do come here.

As we work to grow our community, let us not discount the value of tourism. In fact, tourism is more than overnight visitors. It can include those who frequent our community for various reasons. These people spend money in our businesses, add to our sales tax collections and help keep our economy moving.
These facts beg the follow-up question, “What more can we do to attract visitors?”

Some may think we need more things for people to do. While that is nice, it is not imperative. We simply need to tell our story to others. Here are some examples:

• Minden has three new car dealerships: Brown Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Harper Motors and Hebert’s Town and Country Ford. Those looking for a new vehicle could visit Minden for a good, hometown deal without the hassle of the “Auto Mall” in Shreveport.

• Dining establishments like Roma Italian Bistro, Grace Estates, Geaux Fresh, Habacu’s Mexican provide unique experiences that are worth the travel.

• America is having an antique and repurposing revival. Minden has many great antique establishments. Those who love antiquing could literally spend all day here.

• Minden has many locally owned boutiques and gift shops. There is no need to head to the mall or combat Youree Drive traffic to get a great deal.

These are just a few of the valuable assets of Minden. However, the list could go on and on if we would take a step back and look.
Now, we need to tell others.

Many of us have friends from outside Minden on social media. How easy would it be to snap a photo of a local business or event and post it for those friends to see? We are already taking photos of our meals, let’s tag the restaurant as well.

How many Minden businesses do you like on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram? Do you ever share their posts? You should.

Do you ever rate businesses on Google, Zomato or Yelp? You should.

People are looking for the unique, and they are willing to travel in that search. We just need to give them a reason to travel here.

It is up to all of us.

Herlings opts for corrective foot surgery and to sit-out the rest of 2020 MXGP

2020 Motocross news
Jeffrey Herlings KTM 450 SX-F 2020

This press release has: 4 Images
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing star Jeffrey Herlings will miss the remaining seven rounds of 2020 MXGP after choosing to focus on a full recovery from his injuries and face the off-season period closer to 100% fitness.

The 25-year old has healed from the neck and upper back problems suffered as a result of his crash during Free Practice for the Grand Prix Citta di Faenza at the Monte Coralli in Italy circuit last month. The Dutchman is lacking bike time and conditioning to be able to return to competitive MXGP duty, especially with the calendar hurrying to a conclusion by November 8th.
A contributing factor to the accident was the lack of flexibility and comfort in Herlings’ right foot. Therefore, the winner of four rounds this year (still more than any other rider) has decided to undergo a small procedure to remove excess bone growth and fix scar tissue on Thursday 15th of October.
If the operation and post-op period goes accordingly then Herlings will have much better use of his right limb and can immediately concentrate on preparation with his KTM 450 SX-F for the 2021 campaign.
MX2 teammate Rene Hofer is also making decent steps from his broken left shoulder and hopes to be back on the KTM 250 SX-F in the next two months.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing still have Tony Cairoli and Jorge Prado in contention for the 2020 MXGP title and Tom Vialle has held the red plate for 10 of the 11 rounds in MX2 so far.
Jeffrey Herlings: “It won’t be a big operation but the foot is a complicated part of the body and there is some extra bone growing where I broke it. It needs to be partly removed. I also have tissue that is painful and irritating. I should know after a couple of weeks if I will be pain-free or we need to look at another option to be good again. I want to have this done so I won’t be putting 2021 at risk. 2020 was going pretty well and it’s disappointing to miss out again because of injury but we’ve been through this process and at least now I can work on getting myself into even better shape for another go next season. Thanks to Red Bull KTM for all their support and to the fans for the messages.”

Dressed in Dekton
Valdebebas 127 by Carlos Rubio Carvajal
Madrid, Spain
The pursuit of maximum quality is common to both the exterior and the interior finishes, so in this case too materials such as Silestones or Dekton by Cosentino are chosen for kitchens and bathrooms.

The main objective of the project was to make the most of the site’s privileged location by the central park of Valdebebas, an 80-hectare green lung, and ensure that all the apartments would have direct contact with it. Valdebebas 127 concentrates the built mass in two parallel bands, one facing the park, with three towers that go up atop a platform for commercial premises, and another facing the promenade with a continuous block comprised of five lower buildings. The separation between the towers also affords the apartments in the block views of the Guadarrama mountain range as well as the park.

The design of the tower seeks a formal and compositive interplay at the building’s corners, alternating the position of the living room and the terrace to achieve a dynamic zipper effect that gives the complex a distinctive image. The treatment of the large garden areas between the buildings is a particularly important element in the project. The perimeter of the site remains open, offering views of the lush interior gardens.

Almost 8,000 square meters of Dekton ultracompact surfaces have been used in the construction of this first phase of the residential development. This material has been chosen for its excellent qualities, such as high-resistance to UV rays, color stability, durability, resistance to thermal breaks and to stains, extremely low porosity, and large-format manufacturing.

Formafantasma + Flos
Milan Design Week 2017
Spazio Krizia, Via Manin 21, Milan, Italy
Formafantasma is presenting 'WireRing and 'Blush lamp'. Designed for the lighting company Flos, the lamps are the first industrially produced objects of the Studio.

For the occasion of the 2017 Salone del Mobile, Studio Formafantasma has been invited to occupy and re-open the Milanese venue Spazio Krizia, after several years of vacancy. Known as one of the most prominent locations of the ‘Fuorisalone’, the space has previously hosted presentations from designers such as Ingo Maurer and Ron Arad.

While the finished objects are formally developed and define a new, more industrial direction for the studio, the experiments (concisely named by the designers as ‘tests’ and numerically divided) demonstrate the duo’s intuitive and research-based process. Designed as three-dimensional sketches, these tests are instinctively, yet carefully assembled, using stationary (pencils and erasers) and standard industrial materials (steel rods, bricks and insulation material). LED strips are left visible and unfiltered, embracing the punctuated light as an opportunity, rathen than a limitation. The result is a meticolous investigation into the components of light – reflection, shadow, color, space – and the use of optics, mirrors and glass to shape it.

Elements which at first appear sculptural, reveal a specific intent on closer inspection. Responding to the lack of colour saturation during the winter months, the designers created three objects which cast brightly-tinted reflections on walls, through the use of layered dichroic glass. Another object, fitted with a crystalline, polycarbonate lens suspended under a LED light source, is designed to cast a perfect round reflection on the floor. When using the very symbol of sculptural materials -bronze- the designers apply its most basic characteristics: weight and reflectiveness. In this way, ‘Foundation’ highlights the studio’s consistent focus on rethinking object typologies through material investigations.

end of semester reflections

On Tuesday, students in my grad class will be doing presentations in our final meeting of the semester. It’s been an interesting and difficult semester. A couple observations:

  • Co-teaching: I’ve taught in learning communities before, but this was my first experience co-teaching a class. There were some real advantages to doing this. Karen and I complemented one another in terms of our strengths and experience. Having two faculty also really enlivened the course blog. However it was not easy to negotiate some of the decisions about the course and how we managed it. Over all I think we were lucky that we ended up being so compatible, given that we hadn’t worked together in the past. As happy as I was with the outcome this semester, I would be more hesitant to jump into this with another faculty member in the future.
  • iTunes U & tech buy-in: I had difficulty with student buy-in into iTunes U in this course; that wasn’t really a problem in my undergrad course, but here it was. It was part of a general problem getting students to work with the applications in the course, primarily the Apple iLife apps. I approached the course with the idea of making things easier for students by telling them they could use other (PC) apps if they wanted to to complete their projects. That was an error on my part. It resulted in many questions about these apps and a slew of other problems with PCs, such as interfacing with other devices (e.g. mini-DV cameras). In the future I won’t do this. If students end up using PCs that will be there problem but I am going to lay out how the assignment is to be completed and only support those options. The bottom line is that it’s just not possible for me to support all these different situations. Furthermore, allowing students to stray from the applications in the course really undermines some of the pedagogic elements of the course. I mean if we spend two or three weeks on Garage Band and then the students go home and try to use Audacity, simply b/c they don’t feel like coming to campus to record their podcast then clearly something is going wrong. I’m going to emphasize more technology buy-in next semester.
  • Bye-bye to English Education: this is my last semester teaching this course for our English Education grad students. From now on, I’ll be focusing more on our Professional Writing program. I’ve been teaching this course pretty much every year since I got here. Leaving it behind is my choice. It’s a complex situation. It’s one of those things where in a sense I’ve been on loan to this program (even though we’re in the same department), and at some point you’ve got to say either one becomes an integral part of a program and participates in its structure or one parts ways. In short, I’m happy for the English Education program to deliver their degrees however they want to do it… as long as they don’t expect me to deliever their technology curriculum.

2 replies on “end of semester reflections”

I have to thank you for a great semester. You have consistently challenged all of us to really question and to rethink our notions of what English is. I’ve said this before, but because I really disliked English in High School and because I did not initially pursue it in college, I have been more than ready for these kinds of questions.
Also, I do understand your frustration with the apps that we chose to use. However, I still think that if this class is about learning to learn, then it’s a good thing for people to experiment. Of course, I think people need to realize that if we do deviate, you and Karen will more likely be unable to help us. I admire your patience in class when people constantly approach you with a bunch of questions about apps you’re unfamiliar with. It would drive me crazy. But I think I have learned more by trying new things and not relying on the iLife book.

Dr. Reid,
I agree with Natalie about the technology buy-in issue. While I understand that you cannot support every conceivable possible application and operating system, I feel that an important element of the course would be lost if students were restricted to just the Mac applications. For me, a large part of this course involved finding and learning applications that could do what I needed. However, I don’t recall ever asking you for technical assistance, because I realized that that would be an unrealistic expectation. As long as you make it clear that you cannot help students who go beyond specific applications, I don’t see that as a failure of any pedagogic element of the course. In fact, it’s a success in that English education is not about learning how to use these specific technologies, but instead learning how to learn (stole that from Will Richardson).
I’m glad your evaluation of co-teaching was generally positive. I can imagine that Dr. Stearns might be difficult to work with sometimes. 🙂

[Review] Roxy Music: Stranded (1973)

The third album solidifies around Bryan Ferry’s romantic persona, mixing torch songs with compressed helium in a can.

Kronomyth 3.0: You may be stranded if you stick around.

Stranded is such a good record that the departure of Eno is merely worth a mention. The band’s third album centers on the magnetic personality of Bryan Ferry, as inevitable as it was, and features half an album of torch songs mixed with the band’s helium arrangements. I suppose you could make the case that For Your Pleasure and The First Roxy Music Album were more exciting and unpredictable. You could make an equally valid case for Stranded as the more refined record, as the band focused its energies on songcraft rather than sonic experiments.

Surprisingly, it was Bryan Ferry’s solo career, and not Brian Eno’s, that cast a shadow over Roxy’s third record. These Foolish Things had been released weeks earlier and reached the UK top 10. Eno’s experimental instrumental record with Robert Fripp, No Pussyfooting, was greeted with complete commercial indifference. Anyone inclined to level the charge that Roxy had become Ferry’s mouthpiece had only to listen to These Foolish Things to hear the difference between Ferry the crooner (Foolish) and Roxy the art-rock innovator (Stranded).

As with their first two records, Stranded leads off with its best track, Street Life. The album’s namesake, “Street Life” is three-and-a-half minutes of controlled chaos with Ferry in the eye of the hurricane. The next track, Just Like You, is the romantic side of Roxy, all breathy sighs and a lump-in-the-throat guitar solo from Phil Manzanera. Amazona fuses two songs together into one great track (I suspect Ferry wrote the chorus) and showcases Manzanera’s unique ability to fashion rhythm guitar textures and grooves into a lead instrument. Manzanera was never the quintessential flashy guitarist, and yet without his flash these songs fall apart. Side one ends with Psalm, on the surface a hymn, but scratch that surface a little and it’s another death song along the lines of “Strictly Confidential” that slowly and powerfully builds momentum over eight minutes.

Side two starts with Serenade, a serviceable Roxy song that would have felt right at home on Siren. Ferry and Andy Mackay then take us deep into the burned-out beau monde that has always been at the core of Roxy’s romantic vision with A Song for Europe. Ferry’s French at the end cements the image of him as a continental romantic idol. The wonderful Mother of Pearl follows; two very different songs that are (again) fused together. The first half is a noisy descent into madness; the second half is the sublime experience of true clarity. Following the pattern of alternating a rock song with a romantic ballad, the album ends with Sunset.

Like I said, the loss of Eno is incidental. 18-year-old whiz kid Eddie Jobson provides enough exotic noises (violin, keyboards) to fulfill the group’s art-rock obligations, and Ferry’s crooning is closer to pandemonium than pandering. At least half of Stranded is classic Roxy Music, and the other half is rarely less than interesting. The first four (maybe five) Roxy Music albums are ravishing beauties of rock & roll, in my opinion. Choose one over the other? Jamais, jamais, jamais, jamais!

DT Matrix, Badge Gen
Profile stats and challenge checkers!
all Features are brilliant :D
Would definitely have to be the bad logs....even though it's a rarely used tool....and it was broken for old logs (treating note logs as find logs, even messing up my find count in the profile stats) this tool makes sure you have an accurate find count on itself.
The Statistic and the challange checker ;)
The Stats and the TB discovering tool ;)
would have to be
1.Challenge Checkers
2. Statistics
3. Badge Gen ( I love using this to give me ideas on what my priorities might be)
Easy of use of Profile Statistics and also the challenge checkers. This saves so much time.

The extensive personal stats. No longer do I have to run a complex series of macros in GSAK.

I also like the lower bound of Wilson stats. A great way to compare caches
by *Cache_or_Check* (850 points)
I have completely gone away from GSAK.  Although there is a lot that I am not using yet here, I use this site more and it is much easier to understand and to navigate through.  Thanks for creating Project GC!!
Great to have updated stats and the ability to find some personal challenges

Profile - Needs Maintenance?

To name only one. But there are plenty of perfect features and they are constantly growing. Tremendous job done. Stats are nice to view, but not a core of GC. Thats why I picked tool, extremely useful of owners of many caches. This kind of tool should have been integrated in site long long time ago. You have done this job voluntarily on behalf of GroundSpeak, who often waste resources on "questionable" projects.

Thank you for making my hobby a lot of easier.

Indeed, this is THE tool for me as it should be for other big hidder.
Moreover, the tool to add in Virtual GPS is so easy that maintenance list is quick to do.

I can't favorite a single one. Obviously the stats. In combination with the tools they are awesome, like the hidden date map. And then of course the challenge checkers.
yes my opinion is the same :)

I can't pick just one--so I will pick three:

1) BadgeGen updates all by itself!

2) Stats displayed in very attractive format without having to run macros!

3) Maps, maps, maps!

Perfect site for the ones who loves stats

1. Challenge-checkers. Also fun to check the caches related to the checkers

2. Badge-gen. Great to check next target to get more points

3. The main stat page

4. D/T tools. So much better after the update so we can see loop 2 and so on

5. Check the stats in local areas

I have many favorite items, but my top 5 at the moment is:

1. Badge Gnerator - to see my own challenges

2. Top image uploaders - we like to make pictures of the cache locations

3. Logs over time - to compaire the scores of our friends

4. Map D/T matrix - to find caches to fill our matrix

5. Map Counties - to check the local map for counties we have not cached yet.

but I am using of course many more features

My "Most favorite Tool" is the "close to the user tool"! :)

Why? .... You just have to write a comment, or requirement or even a wish and a) you get response, b) the response helps you (maybe just to understand, that something doesn't work) or c) you get an answer like "ok - it's on the list" ;)

My favorite part so far (I still have a lot left to see) is the ability to quickly filter for caches in an area that will fill in a date placed box, a DT box, or a jasmer challenge box. It makes it a lot easier than running a ton of macros on GSAK or trying to find them myself on the normal website.

I love the new looks. It is much easier to use now. The thing that first got me to use the site, was of course the profile stats. Now I really love the maps, it encourages me to find caches in new areas. Makes travelling so much more exciting. I also like the fact that you actually listen to the users. I love to read the updates about what you are up to. The map compare has also been very useful when planning trips with friends. Thank you for this site!

On the design of the Modus themes (Emacs)

The “Modus themes” are a pair of themes for Emacs that conform with the WCAG AAA accessibility standard for colour contrast between background and foreground values. This is the highest standard of its kind for making text readable, representing a minimum contrast ratio of 7:1.

There is a light and a dark theme. The former is called “Modus Operandi”, while the latter is “Modus Vivendi”.

In this article I document the principles that inform my decision-making in the design of these themes, though the insights apply more generally.

If you want to see how the themes look in practice, you can watch some of my videos on Emacs or refer to this collection of screenshots.

What is colour

For our purposes, “colour” is the amalgamation of three distinct channels of light: red, green, blue. By combining them in different amounts we get what we understand as orange, turquoise, violet, etc.

Red, in the sense of “pure red”, is a combination of the three channels of light where only the red component is at its fullest, while the others are contributing nothing. Same for the other colours that correspond to the remaining light channels.

White, in its purest, is the combination of the three channels with each contributing as much as possible. Whereas black is derived by having the channels contribute zero.

Couched in those terms, white and black are “colours” (in other domains they are described as “tones” that produce “tints” or “shades” when combined with hues).

I distinguish between “base” and “accent” values. The grey scale is part of the base group, while any other colour that derives from the accentuation of one or two light channels belongs to the accent’s group.

At its core, a palette consists of eight colours. Six accents plus white and black. The six are: red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta.

To be clear about the accents that result from the three channels of light, consider these possibilities:

red   + green = yellow
green + blue  = cyan
blue  + red   = magenta

Colour notation

The total number of colours is a function of the amount that each channel of light can accept. With current technology this is 256, which means:

256 × 256 × 256 = 16,777,216

We can represent a colour using zero-based decimal notation, so values from 0 to 255 for each channel of light (e.g. 255,0,0 is pure red), or we can use hexadecimal notation, where possible values are 0-9 and a-f with each of the RGB channels having either one or two entries.

A hexadecimal representation of #f00 is interpreted as equivalent to #ff0000. To avoid confusion and allow for more possible combinations, I always use the six-digit-long format.

Choosing colours

The design of the palette’s main colours is governed by the inherent luminance of the six primary accent values. The following table shows the contrast ratio of each of them relative to pure white and pure black respectively. The colour values are written in hexadecimal RGB notation with #ffffff representing the maximum (white) and #000000 the minimum (black).

Hexadecimal (name) ffffff (white) 000000 (black)
ff0000 (red) 3.99 5.25
00ff00 (green) 1.37 15.3
0000ff (blue) 8.59 2.44
ffff00 (yellow) 1.07 19.5
00ffff (cyan) 1.25 16.7
ff00ff (magenta) 3.13 6.69

For reference, the maximum contrast ratio is 21:1 between black and white, while the minimum is always 1:1. These ratios are derived from a scientific formula that underpins the WCAG standard (you can use an online tool to perform the calculations or try my clr shell script that is distributed as part of my dotfiles).

The table shows us indirectly that each channel of light is assigned a unique weight in the calculation of the final luminance, which is reflected in the different contrast ratios of red, green, blue. This means that for the purposes of colour contrast we cannot equate the amount of each channel with its total contribution. Our intuition that #ff0000 is the same as #0000ff in terms of distance relative to zero cannot guide us by itself in selecting between the two.

We need a more qualified understanding of the mechanics of these three channels of light, predicated on the relative weights that the formula defines for red, green, blue respectively. These are the precise numbers:

L = 0.2126 * R + 0.7152 * G + 0.0722 * B

The general rules for luminance that we can deduce from the aforementioned are outlined thus:

  • “More green” means “lighter”.
  • “More green” and “more red” means “even lighter”.
  • “More blue” and to a lesser extent “more red” is the right way to tweak colours without completely changing their luminance.

In practice, adding a bit of blue makes virtually no difference to a colour’s luminance, while a good amount of it can help distinguish two accent values. For example #aa0000 is a red that has 7.75 contrast with white, while #aa0077 is a magenta that has 7.05 contrast (recall that 7:1 is our minimum target). We see how “a lot” of blue added to our particular red made little difference in the total luminance of the new colour, while it did have a greater effect on the perception of these two colours (you can use rainbow-mode for Emacs to preview valid values).

Now some insights about the choice of colour for use in the themes:

  • When designing a light theme, all colours need to rely on the blue channel of light and, to a lesser extent, on the red one. You cannot develop a fully fledged accessible light theme that makes extensive use of green, yellow, cyan, while also trying to keep colours fairly distinct from each other.
  • When designing a dark theme, you cannot rely on green, yellow, cyan as your main colours because they will look much more luminant than other accents, unless you lower their values to a point where they no longer approximate their pure representation.

These mean that the most common colours for both the light and dark variants have to be derived by combining blue and red, with green being the channel that adjusts the relative luminance. Hence the various shades of pink, purple, azure, teal that are most used in the Modus themes to highlight text.

Combined with insights from colour psychology, we must rule out red as a valid colour for syntax highlighting. Red calls too much attention to itself. It is reserved for cases where such a property is desired, such as when presenting an error message. Similar principles apply to the use of yellow and green: they are used to signify something that has a special meaning in its context.

The importance of knowing the background

It is impossible to pick a colour without knowing the context it will be used in. We thus start by identifying our main background value.

When selecting multiple colours for the purposes of developing a theme, we know that their common point of reference is the background on which they will be used. The background is a constant. For my light theme the main one is white; for the dark it is black.

There are many cases where a different background needs to be used in order to render a certain function explicit and unambiguous. For example, to represent a matching search term, draw the selected region, and so on. For each of these scenaria we use the potentially purpose-specific background as our guide for choosing the possible colours that are allowed to be used with it as foreground values. As always, our overarching objective is conformance with the WCAG AAA standard.

It is for this reason that the Modus themes have several palette subsets with inline commentary on the colours they may be combined with (see source code). For instance, the red intended for text on the mode line differs from the one used in the main buffer because the mode line has a background that is a particular shade of grey.

Emacs allows for different combinations of text and colour properties: what is called a “face”. Such faces empower us to implement these palette subsets with precision.

Part art, part science

Theme development stands at the intersection of art and science:

  • Science allows us to measure the luminance of colours and decide on the acceptable values for any given combination of foreground and background.
  • While the choice of one among possible combinations to denote the function of a given construct (interface or code element) is a matter of art.

It is not pertinent to this essay to investigate the exact proportion of each of these magnitudes to the delivery of the final outcome. Perhaps art is just an imprecise science waiting to be refined further by a yet-to-be-discovered method. At any rate, art is also governed by principles such as consistency, frugality, and temperance.

The Modus themes are designed with an intention to avoid exaggerations or what may be described as a “rainbow effect”. There are cases where science would allow us to combine variants of red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan all in one place. Nothing would be technically wrong once the colour contrast criterion is satisfied. It would however look ugly by being excessive, flamboyant.

This is the tacit minimalism of the Modus themes: the visual aspect of a state of affairs is expressed by using as few colours as deemed necessary. There should be no imbalance in the visual “rhythm” of the highlighted text: a highly-luminant colour next to a considerably darker one all trying to present parts that are semantically similar or connatural is a bad choice; and “bad choice” implies the lack of a thematic thread running through all applicable colour combinations.

I understand minimalism as minimum viable completeness, basically meaning that “it works” without requiring any further additions to continue to work well and with such additions delivering diminishing returns to scale or even being detrimental to the task of avoiding exaggerations (i.e. the notion of enforcing a theme).

Differences of degree or nuances should also be discernible in the use of colour, in line with rhythmic consistency. For example, in the Modus themes documentation strings are a more subtle blue than literal strings. They could have been green, for instance, but that would introduce too much variation for semantically similar functions: scientifically correct, artistically sub-optimal.

Try the themes

The Modus themes are available in MELPA and MELPA Stable already for a few months now, while they were recently admitted to the official ELPA repository. They are distributed as standalone packages, in case you want to use one but not the other.

I am continuously refining the themes and expanding support for packages (face groups) in the Emacs milieu. This is necessary to ensure a consistent experience for all users.

I am happy for the feedback I have received, including but not limited to email messages. Meanwhile, Manuel Uberti has published a blog entry detailing how Modus Operandi has addressed a persistent issue with light themes. Given this opportunity, I must also thank Manuel for the valuable issues (and concomitant feedback) reported in the project’s git repo.

My commitment to accessibility of the WCAG AAA sort comes from the realisation that legibility is the single most important characteristic of any text-heavy interface. Emacs is all about text; and text should not pose a barrier to entry.

Use a reliable and unassuming typeface that does not draw too thin letter forms or demand constant attention to its peculiarities (such as my patched “Hack”) and apply a theme that prioritises good colour contrast.

Continuing the recent tradition of PSP titles getting ported to the PS2 – Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters , for example – another pair should be making their way from the portable to the most popular console in video game history.

As translated by Google, European video game site HardGame2 has apparently confirmed that both Wipeout Pulse and Daxter are headed to the PS2 after enjoying fine launches on the PSP. The latter will arrive on July 25 while the former should become available on September 3, although we have to assume these are European release dates. Of course, we also have to assume that if Europe gets them, the US will get them as well, but we can't confirm that at this time. So far, the results of PSP games being ported to the PS2 have been hit and miss, although we suppose they've been worthwhile for the publishers. And in this case, we're talking about two of the finest PSP titles available, which is good news for PS2 owners. Yeah, we already have a ton of awesome games for the system, but we can always use two more!

We'll try to confirm this for the US, and in the meantime, we look forward to being able to play a top-notch platformer and a high-quality racer from the PSP on our televisions.

Mal nutrition. Why do we do and eat what we eat?

It’s not what you say. It’s how you say it. Said Mama Jean. Bang bang bang. Hammered into my head. Yep. Knife swings both ways like a sling blade.

People get attached to their melanomas. Fact we must change. Beginning in the mind.

What are you eating all day? No. What’s you reading and watching? Why you so hungry? Pornofeast. Facebook gossip groups. Private. Of course. Is that what we calling a click these days? Hmmm? Ok? Felisha! Kesha! Boo. Hop hop hoo.

Derangle. Untangle. Balance that mind nutrition!! Pay your attentions yo what your body’s paying attention to? Loonie tuna tiny titty committee.

Mal. What’s that word mean even? Let’s see what I go in my pandora box? Hold on. I’m digging? Let’s see? Yeah. I think this day it.

Malcom ex. Mallus. Mal content. Mal? Hmm?

Let’s see.

Hmm? Unpleasant degree? In a fault? We in a fault? Mal nurished is at fault? Yeah. Yeah. Machines need proper nutrition all around.

Yeah. How do you do feeding all three? Yes you read that right bitch? How do you do in all three? Balance is key.

So mal nutrition is nutrition that’s faulty to the unpleasant degree? Yes I do see that trending here on the planet.

What we gonna do? Go ahead and starve?

Here is a recipe for emotional nourishment to help us all stay away fro

Nightmareville. Do we really need to keep replaying 1969? Over and over in time that’s unending? We can call time. And change. This is personal. For everyone. Yes dear. There are others here. Fragments of the same. Who need to be nourished too.

Do we blow them up with guns? Or feed them back to sanity? Have you ever met someone who’s malnourished? Well? We all have and we all have been the malnourished. I came into this world malnourished.

My Mama struggles to maintain while carrying me to term and my mission. To be abandoned and adopted and molested and on and on. We all have that kind of story. Boo boo. Hoo hoo.

Had this world been safe? I would not have ever felt like that after well meaning people spewed their malnutrition’s on me? Like yuck people? Y’all a mess.

Oh. And I know I have your attentions. And no liking. Cuz I’m ringing the bells honey. It’s time to go to church. You don’t wanna come to my house says God? You don’t like what preachers be saying? Ok?

I’m coming to you on your world wide webbing blogfeast Facebook twitter fly by nighters snap chatting up in this instagram wordpressing press press!

Thank you Cardi b. For the introductions.

Try this prescription? Below? Pill popping dumb asses. Snoop doggy smokes weed. He ain’t tripping. Pay attention! He cooks with Martha at the plantation! He’s leadin. For a reason. Kathy Bates. All white up in snoops hood. Smokin weed. Being friendly like? Folks supposed to who’s my children?

Forgiving. We all done something around here. No excuses!! To much for ya? Awe honey. Maya Angelou even got it?

You want free school when we all gots to pay for the ur orange dumb asses who wasted their own families money learning nothing.

Engage them in conversation. It doesn’t always have to be about work. A simple appreciative question, plainly asked and listened to (“What did you enjoy doing over the weekend?” or “What do you like best about the work that you do?”) can go a long way.

Notice what they do well. “Expecting” others to do well isn’t enough and noticing it can rarely be overdone. “I noticed how well you led that meeting” or “I noticed the courage it took for you to speak up on that issue” will instill confidence.

Celebrate milestones on the path to greatness. Your team is working hard, and it would be a shame to let the small successes go without commemorating them in some way. Ask them what they’d like to do to (perhaps with some guidelines) as a team, follow through with the best idea, and invite the team to celebrate together.

Coach your staff on their development plans. This requires time and effort, but will pay off greatly over the long term – for them and for you. Schedule regular meetings to help them to create and take action on their development plans separate from the annual performance appraisal.

Feedback your criticisms firmly but with kindness. Do it regularly. The best of your staff are craving to know if they are off track before it’s too late. My favorite feedback tool (because it’s memorable) is Situation (describe what happened as close to the event as possible), Behavior(describe the behavior you observed), Impact (describe the impact on you/the organization). Use it well and often.

We can no longer deny that emotions exist in the workplace and that people crave nourishment. Why not feed and appreciate them (out loud) more often?

I am an Adapted, artist, Mother, a soul, a human, singer, writer, activist, minister and deprogrammer and reprogrammer of minds. And I am here because we need to change how you see it, a lot of things that is. For us Adoptees who have lived in the dark. We were cut off from our families. And that is sad people.

post-title JW Sweetmans brewery tour review

JW Sweetmans brewery tour review

JW Sweetmans brewery tour review

A few weeks ago we paid a visit to JW Sweetmans on Burgh Quay to finally take the plunge and try their brewery tour. Here’s a short account of what it’s like, should you be considering how to spend your Wednesday evening.

Since they opened early last year, Sweetmans have been making their on site brewery the focal point of the bar, highlighting the fact that they are the only brew pub in the city at the moment. We had tried a few of their brews before and were very impressed. At only €4.50, and €4.00 for one of the brews, it’s very good value for a good craft beer.

The tour starts on the top floor and is hosted by one of the knowledgeable barmen. We’re treated to a short history of the site and also of the Sweetman name, which stretches back further than the Guinness legacy so we’re told.

After the history lesson we move down to the ground floor where we take a peek in at the vats that are visible to the public. We get a short explanation of the brewing process. Enough of an explanation for us novices to understand, but not so overwhelming that it seems like a biology lesson (even though it kind of is).

Finally, we get downstairs to the tasting room. From there we can look in at the ground floor of the operation, and even see the brewer in action. Our guide gave us some more in depth explanations of the brewing process and origin of their beers as the samples were handed out. The samples were each placed on a circular tasting matt with descriptions of what we were drinking. We had 6 samples, including kolsch, pale ale, and the rest of the range. They also supplied us with a few nibbles, including pork scratchings, which are fairly rare in Dublin pubs.

All in all, I think it’s worth the €15 and proved a very enjoyable evening. You’re not exactly on the operating room floor of the brewery, but you do get a nice flavour for the history of the place and it’s nice to have a try of all the brews in the company of someone who can take you through what you’re tasting.

Even if you’re not looking to do a tour, I’d recommend giving Sweetmans a try. Their beer is good and you can order it by the pint or get one of the tasting trays to see what you like. They do some good after work specials, including on Thursday evenings. If you book for 4 or more people and arrive between 5-7pm you get a free pitcher and finger food. Can’t really say fairer than that.

The tour runs every Wednesday from 7.30pm and costs 15e per person.

* We’re very aware that our photography skills are somewhat lacking.

Nature. 2006 Apr 6;440(7085):757-63. doi: 10.1038/nature04639.

The relationship of limbed vertebrates (tetrapods) to lobe-finned fish (sarcopterygians) is well established, but the origin of major tetrapod features has remained obscure for lack of fossils that document the sequence of evolutionary changes. Here we report the discovery of a well-preserved species of fossil sarcopterygian fish from the Late Devonian of Arctic Canada that represents an intermediate between fish with fins and tetrapods with limbs, and provides unique insights into how and in what order important tetrapod characters arose. Although the body scales, fin rays, lower jaw and palate are comparable to those in more primitive sarcopterygians, the new species also has a shortened skull roof, a modified ear region, a mobile neck, a functional wrist joint, and other features that presage tetrapod conditions. The morphological features and geological setting of this new animal are suggestive of life in shallow-water, marginal and subaerial habitats.

Objective: To evaluate whether probiotics maintain remission in patients with Crohn's disease (CD).

Design: A meta-analysis of controlled clinical trials.

Methods: PUBMED and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for clinical trial studies investigated the efficacy of probiotics for the maintenance of remission in Crohn's disease. Clinical relapse and endoscopic relapse were the key outcomes of interest. Data were searched within the time period of 1966 through May 2007.

Result: Eight randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials met our criteria and were included in the analysis. Seven determined clinical relapse and three evaluated endoscopic relapse among patients with CD received probiotics for maintenance of remission. Pooling of seven trials for the outcome of clinical relapse yielded an odds ratio of 0.92 (95% confidence interval of 0.52-1.62, P = 0.8853), a nonsignificant odds ratio. The odds ratio for three studies for the outcome of endoscopic relapse was 0.97 (95% confidence interval of 0.54-1.78, P = 0.93), a nonsignificant odds ratio.

Conclusion: This meta-analysis fails to demonstrate the efficacy of probiotics in maintaining remission and preventing clinical and endoscopic recurrence in CD. It is suggested to use probiotic preparations containing a mixture of lactobacillus with E. coli or Saccharomyces.

Aeolian deposits in the North American Great Plains are important sources of Holocene palaeo-environmental records. Although there are extensive studies on loess and dune records in the region, little is known about records in aeolian cliff-top deposits. These are common on table (mesa) edges in the White River Badlands. These sediments typically have loam and sandy-loam textures with dominantly very fine sand, 0.5-1% organic carbon and 0.5-5% CaCO3. Some of these aeolian deposits are atypically coarse and contain granules and fine pebbles. Buried soils within these deposits are weakly developed with A-C and A-AC-C profiles. Beneath these are buried soils with varying degrees of pedogenic development formed in fluvial, aeolian or colluvial deposits. Thickness and number of buried soils vary. However, late-Holocene soils from several localities have ages of approximately 1300, 2500 and 3700 14C yrs BP. The 1300 14C yr BP soil is cumulic, with a thicker and lighter A horizon. Soils beneath the cliff-top deposits are early-Holocene (typically 7900 but as old as 10000 14C yrs BP) at higher elevation (???950 m) tables, and late-Holocene (2900 14C yrs BP) at lower (???830 m) tables. These age estimates are based on total organic matter 14C ages from the top 5 cm of buried soils, and agreement is good between an infrared stimulated luminescence age and bracketing 14C ages. Our studies show that cliff-top aeolian deposits have a history similar to that of other aeolian deposits on the Great Plains, and they are another source of palaeoenvironmental data.
