In this post, I write the configuration to allow an OPC client to acces OPC server by remote in Windows XP SP2.

OPC Product: DeviceXplorer, MatrikonOPC, KepServerEx

Here are:

1. Make sure PC server and PC client connected by ethernet connection (it doesn't matter weather we use cross or straight connection).

2. Make sure we use the same account and password on both PC.

3. Make these configuration on both PC server and PC client :

============================================================

DCOM security setting

a. Open Component Services window
Go to Start->Run and then type "dcomcnfg"
b. On the component services window, go to Console Root->Component Services->Computers
c. Right click on the "My Computer" and select "Properties"
d. Go to Default Properties tab
e. On the Default Distribution COM Communication Properties frame, set "Connect" for Default Authentification Level and "Identity" for Default Impersonation Level.
f. Go to COM security tab.
g. On the "Access Permissions" and "Launch and Activation Permissions" frame click on "Edit Limits" and "Edit Default" button step by step. On each step, make sure these group or user name has been listed: "ANONYMOUS LOGON", "Everyone", "INTERACTIVE", "NETWORK", and "SYSTEM". Don't forget to check all checkbox on the "allow" side for each group or user name.
h. Go to Console Root->Component Services->Computers->My Computer->DCOM Config
i. Find the OPC server you want to access on list, right click on it, and then select "properties"
j. On the General tab, set the Authentication Level to "Connect"
k. Go to security tab.
l. Set "Customize" on both "launch and Activation Permissions" and "Access Permissions" frame, step by step click on both Edit button and make sure these group or user name has been added : "Everyone", "INTERACTIVE", "NETWORK", and "SYSTEM". Check all the checkbox on the "Allow" side for each group or user name.
m. Go to identity tab and then chack to the "The interactive user" radiobox.
n. Again, go to Console Root->Component Services->Computers->My Computer->DCOM Config
o. Find "OpcEnum", right click on it, and then select properties.
p. Do the same as j, k and l step above.Then go to identity tab and then chack to the "The system account (service only)" radiobox.

Windows Firewall

Turn off the Windows Firewall.
Control Panel->Windows Firewall, on the general tab, click on "Off (not recomended)" radiobox.

Data Execution Prevention

Go to system properties.
Control panel->System and then go to Advance tab. On the Performance frame, click on "Setting" button. Then go to Data Execution Prevention and make sure that on the "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only" radiobutton has been checked.

Local Security Policy

a. Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Local Security Policy
b. Go to Security Settings->Local Policies->Security Options
c. Find "DCOM: Machine Access Restrictions…", right click on it then select "properties".
d. Click on the "Edit Security ..." button
e. Make sure these group or user name : "Everyone", "INTERACTIVE", "NETWORK", and "SYSTEM" has been added. Check all the checkbox on the "Allow" side for each group or user name.
f. Find "DCOM: Machine Launch Restrictions…" right click on it, and then select "properties"
g. Do the same as step d and e.
h. Find "Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to
anonymous users", right click on it, and then select "properties"
i. Select to the "Enable" radiocheck
j. Find "Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts", right click on it, and then select "properties".
k. On the local security tab, select "Classics - local users authenticate as themselves"

============================================================

4. Try to acsess OPC server by remote

Run your OPC client software, fill node with the IP address of PC server (PC which OPC server has been installed) and then browse the OPC server list available on the remote PC server. The configuration successful if the OPC server can be listed from OPC client.

Va intrebati despre ce angajate este vorba? Pai, despre vrăbii.

Da! M-ati auzit bine :P Inspectia calitatii este asigurata de departamentul de vrabiute al supermarketului, in fiecare dimineata dupa inceperea programului. Marfa este atent verificata, mai ales in raionul de fructe si legume, unde pericolul perisarii alimentelor este mult mai mare decat in celelalte sectii de produse.

Eu am fost placut surprins sa vad modul de lucru al acestor pasari, reusind sa obtin pe şest chiar si 2 poze:

Observati deci ca noul departament din cadrul supermarketului isi face datoria si pentru asta, merita toate laudele din partea noastra.

Un singur lucru imi mai ramane insa neelucidat: Daca treaba facuta de aceste vrabii este atat de buna pe cat pare, de ce sesizarile la Protectia Consumatorului s-au inmultit in perioada imediat urmatoare? (hmm, probabil au venit sa ia notite)

Every June since 2000, invited members of the wine trade from around the country have been coming to Willamette Valley wine country for three days of total immersion in the Oregon wine experience. Small-group workshops at wineries and vineyards during the day, grand tastings and dinners under the stars at night. Much much better than a road show.

This year Bethel Heights hosted two sessions of the “Cool Whites” workshop. Three flights of six wines each were tasted and discussed: Chardonnay,Pinot Gris, and “Fruit Salad” - an eclectic assortment of other white varieties, which this year included Riesling, Arneis, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Blanc.

Bethel Heights winemaker Ben Casteel introduced the Fruit Salad flight by saying that even though these are minority varieties in Oregon, often available only at the wineries in very small quantities, these are wines that winemakers love to drink, and that’s why they make them. We have Ben to thank for the fact that we are making Gewurztraminer again at Bethel Heights, after a thirteen-year hiatus, and planting Riesling in our new vineyard after pulling it out of the estate vineyard sixteen years ago.

Todo componente DCOM armazena no registro as informações que o Windows necessita para partir o processo, configurar as opções de autenticação/autorização, e colocá-lo em modo passivo esperando por clientes ávidos por suas funcionalidades. Para quem não brincou com DCOM ainda, todo componente e toda interface são identificados por GUIDs. Como não é razoável esperar que um ser humano normal decore GUIDs, todo componente também ganha um nome mais amigável, o ProgId. Existem algumas boas práticas para nomear um componente com um ProgId, mas não vou entrar nessa discussão. Para ilustrar, alguns ProgIds de servidores OPC do System302, da Smar:

• smar.snmpopcserver.0
• smar.hseoleserver.0
• smar.dfioleserver.0

A amarração GUID/ProgId também fica no registro. Uma funcão da API Win32 transforma ProgIds em GUIDs, permitindo selecionar o componente a ser instanciado.

Até agora tudo muito bonito, mas... como responder a uma pergunta básica como: "quais são os servidores DA versão 2.0 existentes em determinado nó da rede?". Nos primórdios do OPC, a solução era arregaçar as mangas, aprender as nada simpáticas funções de navegação no registro e filtrar os servidores DA "na raça". O filtro é viabilizado por um conceito chamado "CATID", ou "Category Id", que não é nada mais que outro GUID usado para agrupar diversos componentes DCOM em categorias. A OPC Foundation define (ou melhor, definia, DCOM é coisa do passado!) CATIDs para cada especificação de servidor OPC baseado em DCOM.

A coisa piorava para enumerar servidores remotamente, já que não é qualquer conta de usuário que tem permissão para fuçar no registro alheio. Um belo dia, uma mente privilegiada surgiu com a seguinte idéia: "por que não criamos um componente DCOM, que pode ser acessado por todo mundo (autenticação nula na sua configuração DCOM), que seja instalado em todo nó que possui um cliente ou servidor OPC e que se encarregue de fuçar no registro e disponibilizar o serviço de enumeração através de suas interfaces?". Pronto, nasceu o "OPC Server Enumerator", o vulgo OpcEnum!

O OpcEnum implementa a interface IOPCServerList, que retorna um enumerador de GUIDs dos aplicativos OPC registrados na máquina, além do ProgId. Com isto fica fácil instanciar o servidor desejado.

Após começar a trabalhar com UA, estou mais atento para vulnerabilidades na arquitetura OPC. O que impede que uma pessoa mal intencionada substitua o OpcEnum em uma determinada máquina por uma versão alterada, que pode, por exemplo, enumerar os GUIDs maliciosamente? Um exemplo simplista seria rotear o cliente para um servidor diferente, sem que o usuário perceba. Resposta para o mundo OPC-DCOM: nada impede. O cliente não dispõe de artifícios para verificar se o GUID fornecido pelo OpcEnum realmente é de quem ele deseja-se conectar. No OPC UA, no momento da criação de uma sessão o cliente tem informação suficiente para descobrir se está falando com quem deveria, mas isto é assunto para um post futuro!

I've talked to a few of my fellow Presbyters about what happened in my absence.  Tonight I came across Dr. William Evans' articleabout this unordinary meeting of Synod.  Apparently he has been busy, since he also has a piece there about Peter Enns' book Inspiration and Incarnation.  He simply lays out so problems with the book.  But on to Synod where the issue of inspiration arose.

For the first time in years, more than one person was nominated to be Moderator of Synod.  It is interesting on a number of levels.  One, Barry Dagenhart, has deep roots in the ARP and would probably affirm the status quo and put a big priority on relationships.  The other, Dr. J.R. DeWitt, is a relative newcomer to the ARP (more recently than yours truly), but Drs. Evans, R.J. Gore and Sinclair Ferguson believed that his theological acumen are vitally important as the ARP addresses some important issues.  He would not maintain the status quo, and is quite fearful of a top-heavy denomination (which the ARP cannot be accused of having with any seriousness).

I agree that a man with theological acumen, and who will not seek to preserve the status quo but rather move us into the future, is greatly needed.  I'd humbly disagree with Sinclair Ferguson that Dr. DeWitt is that man.  One of the great things about the ARP, which I've needed to have modeled to me, is the emphasis on love as well as truth.  Our pursuit of truth must be done in love and hopefully preserve the relationships that already exist.  My experience with the Dr., limited as it is to debate on the floor of Synod, would make me hesitate in applauding his election as Moderator.  While I may side with him theologically, I fear that the price of winning the debate may be too great.  I really hope I'm wrong. 

I would like us to take our theology more seriously, and build stronger relationships with other conservative Reformed denominations.  We do need to repent of our in-grown ways.  But that is a product of spritual renewal.  I want us to be more than well-connected with the PCA, OPC et al.  I want us to grapple with the call to be missionaries to this culture and our communities.  I don't sense that winsome, missionary spirit with Dr. DeWitt.  I think we had the right motives but not the best choice, if that makes sense.  Mark Ross probably would have been a better choice, but convincing him to serve would probably be difficult.

Regarding Scripture, 3 different motions were approved to strengthen our stance on the inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture.  Since we are in the process of revising our Form of Government it is important that new ministers understand and affirm these things lest we drift off to the left over time.  Without these fundamental commitments, our ability to properly address the theological issues before us becomes weak and suspect.  To include these affirmations in the ordination vows, and as standards for Synod employees, is what was missing from our affirmation of these truths over 2 decades ago.

"I forecast prices probably between $150-170 during this summer. That will perhaps ease towards the end of the year," he told France 24 television, according to a text of the interview released by the station.

The comments came as crude prices neared $135 per barrel, after rising about 40 percent this year.

Khelil said he doubted prices would climb as high as $200.

"I think that the devaluation of the dollar against the euro, if everything goes as I think it will, will be of the order of perhaps 1-2 percent and this will probably generate an $8 rise in the price of oil," he said.

The head of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, said it had been clearly established that speculation was impacting markets.

Daca un produs se strica in primele sase luni de la data cumpararii, vanzatorul este obligat sa-l repare sau sa-l inlocuiasca fara sa comenteze, potrivit Legii garantiilor nr. 449/2003. Mai mult, actul normativ intrat in vigoare inca din 2007 prevede ca decizia privind remedierea sau schimbarea obiectului cu probleme ii apartine exclusiv cumparatorului, si nu vanzatorului. "Daca in prima jumatate de an de la data achizitionarii produsului apare o defectiune, cumparatorul nu este obligat sa demonstreze a cui e vina, se presupune automat ca problema exista in momentul vanzarii obiectului respectiv. Apoi, la articolul 10, legea stipuleaza ca, in cazul unui defect, vanzatorul are obligatia sa aduca produsul la conformitate, fara plata, prin reparare sau inlocuire, in functie de optiunea consumatorului. Articolul 11 e si mai ferm: consumatorul are dreptul de a solicita vanzatorului, ca masura reparatorie, inlocuirea sau repararea produsului, in functie de optiunea sa", ne-a explicat Gheorghe Ciubotaru, subsecretar de stat in Autoritatea Nationala pentru Protectia Consumatorului (ANPC). In plus, potrivit acestuia, vanzatorul are obligatia ca orice reparatie sau inlocuire a unui produs sa se faca intr-o perioada rezonabila de timp, convenita intre acesta si consumator. "Clientul da bani adevarati pentru un lucru bun si nu trebuie sa-i afecteze interesele economice, sanatatea, viata, integritatea. Daca acel comerciant nu l-a inlocuit sau nu l-a reparat intr-un termen rezonabil, convenit de parti, incalca legea", a precizat Gheorghe Ciubotaru.

2.Subsecretarul de stat ii sfatuieste pe cumparatori sa nu se lase pacaliti de reaua vointa a comerciantilor, fie ei chioscuri sau hipermarketuri. Exista doua cai pentru aceasta.

Prima: sa nu accepte ca agentul economic sa arunce vina pe service-ul cu care lucreaza pentru eventualele intarzieri sau amanari in rezolvarea problemei respective. "Eu, in calitate de client, am contract cu vanzatorul, nu cu service-ul. Legea spune ca vanzatorul are responsabilitatea de a aduce la conformitate produsul, nu altcineva. In acest caz, este clar ca vanzatorul nu si-a facut treaba", a mentionat Gheorghe Ciubotaru.

A doua cale: clientul trebuie sa ceara comerciantului hartii pentru fiecare actiune pe care o intreprinde. De exemplu, cand merge cu produsul defect la magazin, sa le ceara responsabililor un document in care sa se scrie daca au acceptat sau nu repararea sau inlocuirea produsului defect, sa justifice un eventual refuz sau sa specifice timpul de care au nevoie pentru remedierea problemei. "E foarte important ca toate cererile de reparatie si inlocuire sa fie facute in scris, pentru ca doar astfel vanzatorul poate fi prins cu minciuna. Fara o hartie la mana, cand vin inspectorii OPC, agentul economic neaga ca l-ar fi refuzat pe client, ba spune ca acesta nu a venit niciodata cu reclamatii. Daca refuza repararea sau inlocuirea produsului, comerciantilor li se pot aplica amenzi de pana la 600 de milioane sau chiar suspendarea activitatii", mai declara subcretarul de stat de la Autoritatea Nationala pentru Protectia Consumatorului.

Grimmiges Design, breite Spur, knackig tiefes Fahrwerk und bezahlbare Preise – so sieht das perfekte Kompaktsportcoupé aus. Modernste Technik in Form von direkteinspritzendem-downsize-Turbomotor, aktiver Fahrwerksregelung und effizientem Doppelkupplungsgetriebe soll den neuen VW Scirocco an die Spitze des Segments führen und entsprechend selbstbewusst rühren die Wolfsburger derzeit die Werbetrommel für den Kompaktsportler.
Doch ist der Kampf nicht ein ungerechter? Ist die Konkurrenz nicht zu alt um den neuen Shooting-Star ernsthaft zu gefährden? Auf der Suche nach einer Antwort haben wir Opel Astra GTC 1.7 CDTI ausgiebig fahren können.

GTC – Gran Turismo Compact. Eine klangvolle Bezeichnung haben die Rüsselsheimer ihrem Coupé gegeben. Zwar sieht die Optik eher nach Kompaktklasse-Tristesse statt nach automobilem Hochadel aus, dennoch aber haben sich die Designer Mühe gegeben die schönen Seiten am Opel herauszuarbeiten. Die breite Chromspange am vorderen Kühler und das grobmaschige Gitter verleihen der Front eine sportlich elegante Note und die markante Bügelfalte der zugespitzten Front unterstreicht diese Dynamik zusätzlich.

Auch die Zweifarblackierung ist ganz im Stil edler Gran Tursimo, jedoch bekommt sie der Kunde nur wenn er das Panoramadach in der Cosmo-Ausstattung wählt. Der hintere Dachteil ist dann nur in schwarz lieferbar und so kommt es je nach Außenfarbe zu einem schönen Kontrast. Die Seitenlinie und das Heck des Astra GTC leben von der kleinen Fensterfläche, denn die stark ansteigende Gürtellinie zeugt zusammen mit den ausgestellten hinteren Kotflügeln von der sportlichen Ambition des Opels. Die am Testwagen montierte 16-Zoll Bereifung wirkt in diesem Umfeld beinahe verloren und schließlich liefert Opel selbst ab Werk Alufelgen bis zu 19 Zoll Durchmesser, doch den Optiknachteil macht die kleine Bereifung beim Fahren mehr als wett.

Kleine Felgen und große Reifenflanken entsprechen kaum dem Geschmack des sportlichen Fahrers, doch gerade hier verbergen sich in Zeiten von Runflat-Niederquerschnittsreifen fast vergessene Komfortwelten. Hier ist der Opel erstmals ein echter Gran Turismo, denn sein Fahrwerk hat in Kombination mit den kleinen Rädern sehr gute Langstreckenqualitäten. Das IDS-plus Fahrwerk schluckt alle Stöße sauber weg und zeigt sich in jeder Situation angemessen gedämpft.
Auf Knopfdruck jedoch lässt es sich in seiner Kennung verstellen um dem sportlichen Anspruch an ein kompaktes Coupé gerecht zu werden. Der Knopfdruck lässt den Astra spürbar straffer werden und auch die Wankneigung wird deutlich reduziert, zudem passt sich auch die Servounterstützung der Lenkung dem Sportmodus an und agiert nun deutlich spontaner und direkter.

Das Beste am Sportmodus ist jedoch die geänderte Gaspedalkennlinie. Im normalen Modus lässt sie kaum Wünsche offen und reagiert höchst unauffällig, doch im Sportmodus wird der Astra zu einem anderen Auto. Er wird praktisch „aus dem großen Zeh“ fahrbar und reagiert spontan auf kleinste Gaspedalbewegungen. Es ist wirklich bemerkenswert wie es die Rüsselsheimer Ingenieure es geschafft haben, einem von Hause aus trägen - weil turbogeladenen - Motor eine solche Agilität anzuerziehen. Kritiker mögen nun behaupten eine andere Gaspedalkennlinie wäre reine Vortäuschung falscher Tatsache, aber in der Realität fährt sich der Astra im Sportmodus deutlich spritziger als im normalen Modus. Es liegt wohl einfach daran, dass man im normalen Verkehr nie soviel Gas geben würde, wie es der Sportmodus dem Astra in der gleichen Situation gewährt und der Effekt ist wie gesagt verblüffend.
Gaspedalkennlinie hin oder her, der kleine 1.7 Liter Common-Rail Vierzylinder ist und bleibt der Grund für die guten Fahrleistungen. Der moderne Motor, der demnächst in verschiedenen Leistungsstufen sogar den älteren 1.9 CDTI ablösen wird gefällt durch einen frühen Drehmomentaufbau und ein angenehmes Laufgeräusch. Knapp über Leerlaufdrehzahl nimmt er bereits sauber Gas an und lässt sich ohne merkliches Turboloch fahren.

Die gekonnte Abstimmung im niedrigen Drehzahlbereich unterstützt das manuelle 6-Gang-Getriebe zusätzlich, denn es lässt sich leicht schalten und die Gangabstufung ist vernünftig gewählt. So kann man den Opel schaltfaul bei 1500 Umdrehungen laufen lassen, was gerade in der Stadt oder im Kolonnenverkehr von großem Vorteil ist. Doch abseits solcher Verkehrssituationen zeigt der Astra seine wahren Stärken: auf langen Überlandstrecken im großen Gang das Drehmoment ausnutzen, den Ausblick durch die herrlich große Panoramascheibe genießen ohne von Schlaglöchern, Polter- oder Knarzgeräuschen gestört zu werden. Ein echter Gran Turismo eben.
Wenn keine Zeit bleibt für schöne Landschaften und gemütliches Rollen schwingt sich der 125 PS Motor auf Wunsch auch zu beachtlichen Geschwindigkeiten auf. 230km/h zeigte der Tacho unseres Testfahrzeugs nach einigem Anlauf auf der Autobahn. Dass solche Geschwindigkeitseskapaden nicht ohne Auswirkungen auf den Verbrauch bleiben ist klar, doch auch hier bleiben böse Überraschungen aus. Etwas über 8 Liter Diesel verfeuert der 1.7 CDTI im „full-boost“ Modus, lässt man es jedoch ruhiger angehen fällt der Verbrauch ähnlich schnell wie die Geschwindigkeit. Bei zurückhaltender Fahrweise sind fern jeder Schleichabsichten Werte nahe der 5.0 Liter Marke möglich und im flotten Testschnitt genehmigte sich der Opel 6.1 Liter auf 100 Kilometer.

Bedenkt man die gebotenen Fahrleistungen und das auf Grund der opulenten Ausstattung hohe Fahrzeuggewicht ist dies ein durchaus guter Wert. Wenn man neben dem schönen Glasdach auf Extras wie adaptives Bi-Xenonlicht, Lederausstattung auf Sportsitzen, Navigation mit Farbdisplay, Soundsystem mit CD-Wechsler, Sitzheizung, Einparkhilfe, Keyless-Go und so weiter verzichten kann, dann wäre auch der Preis des Astra GTC attraktiver, denn die 31.000 EUR des Testwagens sind auch beinahe „Gran Turismo“. Doch auch die Konkurrenz verlangt mindestens ähnliche Preise für ihre Fahrzeuge und immerhin bietet Opel eine 6-Jahres-Garantie zum GTC.
Da Parkrempler jedoch vom Garantieumfang nicht abgedeckt werden sind wir hier beim größten Manko des Rüsselsheimers: der Übersichtlichkeit. Die Sicht nach hinten ist nicht nur durch die extrem flache Heckscheibe beeinträchtigt, denn die breiten C-Säulen schränken das hintere Sichtfeld abermals ein. Auch die Kopffreiheit ist in Kombination mit dem Panoramadach und vor allem der Jalousie des Daches nicht sehr ausgeprägt und gerade großgewachsene Fahrer wünschen sich einen größeren Einstellbereich der Sitzhöhe.

Dies bleiben aber die einzigen Auffälligkeiten des Opels und er zeigt, dass er noch lange nicht zum alten Eisen gehören muss. In einem auf verbissene Sportlichkeit getrimmten Konkurrenzumfeld bildet er mit seinem gelungenen Fahrwerk und der tollen Motor- und Getriebeeinheit eine angenehme Ausnahme.

2. Install RSLogix 5000 ver 15 ..
3. Install RSLinx Classic Ver 2.51 (atau versi lain yang dukung sebagai OPC Server)
4. punya Controllogixnya, kalo ndak ada kudu install RSEmu 5000
5. untuk komunikasi PC/Laptop bisa pake kebel serial dulu dengan syarat punya com1/com2 di PC atau minimal punya USB to Serial (nanti comnya bisa di set). kalo pake RSEmu, ndak perlu kabel lagi ...
6. punya pegetahaun programming laddernya RSLogix ... lah kalo ndak tahu gimana mulainya ... tul kan .... kalo blum bisa ... silahkan belajar dulu yah ;)
7. punya pengetahuan tentang RSLinx dan gimana ngeset driver2nya ...  sama seperti point 6
8. punya pegetahuan programmingnya wonderware .... sama seperti point 6
9. dah punya pengalaman konek wonderware ke plc ....  sama seperti point 6

nah kalo sudah ...

kita mulai langkah2 nya ....

1. siapkan program laddernya di rslogix dan download ke controllogix lewat DF1. tentunya sudah di set drivernya di RSLINX nya. programnya bikin yang sederhana aja ndak usah ribet2. pastiin aja RSLogixnya dah Online
2. setting RSLinxnya sebagai OPC Server, klik DDE/OPC -> Topic Configuration
3. bikin topic baru, lalu tentukan data sourcenya. klik driver yang lagi konek misal AB_DF1-1. lalu klik processornya.
4. setelah itu klik tombol "Apply"
5. untuk ngetes, kita bisa buka program OPC Test Client yang sudah di sediakan waktu kita install RSLinx. lokasinya di Start program -> Rockwell Software -> RSLinx -> Tools
6. setelah terbuka OPC Test Clientnya, pilih Server -> Connect
7. Pilih RSLinx OPC Server
8. lalu buat group baru
9. setelah itu add item yang ingin dimonitor
10. nah kalo semua dah benar .... berarti data yang ingin dilihat sudah bisa dimonitor
11. sekarang buka intouch application manager dan buat aplikasi baru
12. buka window maker
13. buat access name baru, supaya simple bikin aja Access dan Topic Namenya sama dengan Topic di RSLinx (point no.3). Application Namenya : RSLINX. Protocolnya DDE
14. lalu buat tagname baru di tagname dictionary dengan menggunakan access name tsb
15. pastikan itemnya adalah sesuai dengan yang ditest di OPC Test Client ... yang perlu diperhatikan Contrologix sudah pake tag base dan tag ini bisa ditempatkan di controller atau di program. paling gampang ngeceknya yah pake OPC Test Client itu ...(point no.9-10)
16. nah harusnya sekarang dah bisa ditampilkan datanya di text atau animasi di window viewer...
Selamat mencoba ....

note: gambar insyaAllah akan diupload bila ada waktu dan akses internet yang bagus .... :)

Diseases used to be accepted by most as unfortunate but inevitable facts of life. We now know that diseases were not "caught" rather they are reflections of the condition of our body cells.

Most people know they must do regular maintenance for their new car. But few took care of their bodies that are much more complex than cars.  If you put butter in car's gas tank, your car will be "sick" and stop working. Similarly if you don't supply your body with the right amount of nutrients it needs, you will be sick and get diseases.  On the other hand, if you don't change filters on time, your ventilation system will be clogged up and too much dusts will be built to make it eventually stop functioning.

Our body is made of millions of cells. The building blocks of cells are atoms. When atoms are healthy, our cells replicate more healthy cells allowing the unhealthy cells to die then to be discharged from the body. What makes an atom healthy is that it has paired electrons (yellow dots). 

Atoms missing an electron are known as Free Radicals. Free radicals destroy surrounding atoms by stealing their electrons. Cells that replicate in a damaged state are the cause of all chronicle diseases such as cancer, heart attack, osteoporosis, and many others that develop over a long period of time.

Healthy Atom              Free Radical                Antioxidant

 Where are Free Radicals come from?

One cigarette generates one quadrillion free radicals, i.e.  1,000,000,000,000,000 !!!!!

 "Scientists now believe that free radicals are causal factors in nearly every known disease, from heart disease to arthritis to cancer to cataracts. In fact, free radicals are a major culprit in the aging process itself. By controlling free radicals, antioxidants can make the difference between life and death, as well as influence how fast and how well we age." 

- Lester Packier, Head of Pakcer Laboratory, Dept of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley

Free radicals make fat sticky so they start building up on the artery walls. These deposits cause blockage of blood flow, leading to heart attack or stroke. When cell's DNA is damaged by free radicals, cancer cells develop and replicate resulting in many forms of cancer.

 When we are not feeling well, suffering from allergies, heart attack or cancer, they are symptoms not cause of the illness. Symptoms alert us that something isn't right in our body. They are ways for our body to signal our brain to take immediate actions, such as to cleanse, detoxify the free radicals and to supply quality nutrients for the cells.

The Solution

The solution to fight against free radicals is Antioxidants. Antioxidants have "extra" electrons to give to Free Radicals to turn them back into healthy atoms and thus neutralize their harmful effects.  Therefore antioxidants are your body cell's guardian angels against disease.

Where do antioxidants come from? They are found in fruits and vegetables as well as nuts, oils, beans and berries. They can also be found in high quality supplements and nutraceuticals.

Insufficient vitamins intake is apparently a cause of chronicle diseases...Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diets alone. Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements."  -  America Medical Association

 A deficiency of vitamin or mineral will cause a body part to malfunction and eventually break down - and, like dominos, other body parts will follow."

- James F. Balch, M.D. Prescription for Nutritional Healing

Our health, intelligence, energy and appearance are all dependent upon replenishing our body with vitamins and minerals several times a day.

Not all supplements are beneficial.  First, your body must be able to absorb them. Secondly, they must contain many different types of vitamins and minerals combined in the right proportions to achieve optimal results.

The x-ray picture below shows the "brand name" vitamin tablets in the lower colon ready to be discharged from the body. These particular supplements can never benefit the body.

To ensure you health, make sure you get the world most potent blends of antioxidants and the best-absorbed multi-vitamins and multi-minerals.

Numerous research and clinic studies were done for OPC from lab evidence of mice to humans. Just google "OPC" you will see more than 200 publications.

To your health

The following is a really great excerpt from the book, "What is Faith" that shows why I think he is such a great writer.  In the chapter called, "Faith and Works" Mr. Machen says the following:

What a great theologian is the Christian heart - the Christian heart that has been touched by redeeming grace!

The man who has felt the burden of sin roll away at the sight of the Cross, who has said of the Lord Jesus, "He loved me and gave Himself for me," who has sung with Toplady:  "Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling" - that man knows in his heart of hearts that the Apostle is right (Paul in the book of Galatians), that to trust Christ only for part is not to trust Him at all, that our own righteousness is insufficient even to bridge the smallest gap which might be left open between us and God, that there is no hope unless we can safely say to the Lord Jesus, without shadow of reservation, without shadow of self - trust: "Thou must save, and Thou alone."

Ideea este ca eu am avut doar doua produse, si stiam cat trebuia sa pletesc, si mi-am dat seama usor de hotie, dar in momentul in care faci mai multe cumparaturi, cu siguranta nu-ti mai dai seama daca platesti mai mult la unele produse...asa ca fiti foarte atenti....iar pe viitor, nu ezitati sa faceti reclamatii online (eu am facut), la ANPC_reclamatii_online sau, in fuctie de judetul din care sunteti, sunati la unul din numerele urmatoare:    (este foarte important sa cunoastem aceste drepturi)

I used to fret about cancer all the time. It seemed to me like an insidious, horrible thing that could get you without you even knowing, like an odorless gas. People in my family started getting cancer. First my mom, then my dad, then my aunt, then my sister. Why them? And when was my number going to come up?

I sought the advice of my doctor at the time. I asked her what I could do to avoid being the next victim. And... she had no answer for me. I have to credit her, though. She had posture. When she told me that my best bet was simply to come in for lab tests every year, she delivered that message cheerfully and professionally. She had nothing at all to tell me about prevention or taking good care of myself. Then, in her pleasant doctorly way, she told me that all that fretting I was doing indicated that I had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. And she put me on a medication to control my problem.

That lasted a few months, until I realized it was not the path I wanted to be on. Hilariously enough, I discovered I was fretting that the medication would give me cancer. So I stopped taking it. And then, like many Baby Boomers, I went looking for my own answers. What I found was that there is a whole lot a person can do to stay well. And once I began to take prevention seriously, I actually stopped fretting. And it turns out I'm really not Obsessive or Compulsive about much else, so I kind of think the OCD diagnosis was a little over the top.

Here's what I did:

• Cut out icky processed food. (Preservatives are toxic and increase free radical activity.)
• Reduced my intake of white flour products and baked goods.
• Focused on eating low-glycemic index foods. (The Glycemic Index is a great guide to overall health, including blood sugar management and weight management. And keeping your weight under control is great cancer prevention, since there are quite a number of cancers associated with obesity, including colon, kidney, pancreatic, and postmenopausal breast cancers.)
• Added more fiber and whole grains, occasionally taking a fiber supplement when it seemed appropriate.
• Added a whole lot more fruits and vegetables, and added a greens supplement. (Note: the greens supplement must be a live food. Also, live greens are great for the digestive system, and a healthy digestive system is a great prevention against colon cancer.)
• Began a liver and colon cleanse regimen every six months.
• Started taking high quality super-antioxidants every day. (My choices were Isotonix OPC-3, Maximum ORAC, Resveratrol, plus vitamin C.)
• Started exercising more to improve circulation.
• Started taking a better multi-vitamin and added a vitamin D supplement. (Some research indicates that vitamin D may help to prevent breast cancer.)

You're right, if you're thinking that's a lot of supplements. But it made a big difference in how I feel. Body and mind are so connected... I really do feel both physically and mentally in better shape. But one of the best side benefits of making these changes was that I stopped thinking of cancer like something random and unavoidable like a lightning bolt. Instead I feel like I'm the one in control of my own health.

Yesss... Well.. last time, we left our little munchkins Oregano, Parsley and Chive in their teenhood, ready to face the rocky road of luuurve. And because Oregano's a no-go...

Parsley gets to go first! ... this has nothing to do with her being my favourite.. oh no.

In true Fong Fashion, off we go to Sugarcube. Oregano & Chive tag along for the ride, just in case there's anyone good to have in their phonebooks later on in life.

First victim, uh, I mean.. potential lover, is Justus someoneorother. He throws some pretty cute faces :)


"Heeey, you're that girl from the last generation of that Boolprop Challenge. Paisley Klong, Right?"
"Me? Yeah, It's Fong, Parsley Fong. Ohh! And you're that townie dude that walks around town like he's from an 80's cop show!"

"Guilty as charged, Penelope, Guilty as Charged."
"It's Parsley."
"Mmhmm. Kapow! Gotcha!"

"Ohmygodthashilarious... Love that copstuff. Y'know Posey,"
"Parsley."
"Mmhmm. You look like the kind of girl that likes to waterballoon fight in the rain. How 'bout it?"
"Fine."
"Cool, cool. Let me just go gussy up and I'll be right out. My hair goes *poof* at the slightest hint of moisture. See ya in a sec, Poppy!"
"It's Pars-..oh nevermind."

So Justus trots off to the bathroom to protect his perfect crop, and who's there but our very own Chivemeister.

"What's the matter with you, buddypal?"

"I've just met the girl of my dreams. Soft ashen hair, cold sky-blue eyes, the most elegant sense of style that I've ever seen. Ahh, she's more beautiful than words can describe."

Ooh goody! She sounds perfect, show her to me!

"Isn't she wonderful?"

She certainly is... special.

"You step any closer, sonny, and I'll be sending you where the sun doesn't shine."
"Ahh..Wonderful."

Come on, Chive, why don't you go get a drink and find Oregano. I heard there's a deeply sophisticated red-head sitting at the bar."

Not your type? Oregano seems to like her.

And on that note, we'll find out how Polly-er.. Parsley's getting on so we can get home.

Now that's what I've been waiting to see. Hometime!

"Nice girl, that Dina. Very... warm."

Oookkkayyy....Step away from the creepy, Oregano, that's Milton's job.

Back at home, Chive's attempts at finding love aren't going so well.

"Hey, theres a dude in my house who's a vampire.. wanna see?"
"What.. Milton? Meh. Seen it, Heard it, witnessed the meltage."

"A Vampire?! Cool! What's his name?"
"The Eerie, cheery, unreplaceable, unmistakeable Count Milton Fong!"

Parsley on the other hand is getting along fine.. Not only does she have Justus wrapped around her little finger...

She's been making her move on some of the other hotties in the neighbourhood. Especially the wholly stereotypical emo/goth guy from one of my families in pleasantview.. Who also happens to be called Justus.

Hey, there's Siera. Hmm.. I wonder what she's up to. There's been some odd stuff going on lately.

"Shh, The pink eagles fly at sunrise! Got that my little Birdbrain?"

"Heehee.. Eagles.. Pink... Pink... Eagles"

HMmm...

"I'm sure there were more of those yesterday."
DEFINATELY something fishy going on! Hey! What's happening over there?!

Where are you going?
"There are graphics, poor graphics, screaming to be rescued in a kingdom far far away from here! A kingdom of fanciful dictionary appreciation, teaparties and regular cups of brown joy!"
What... tea?
"AND that!"

"Goodbye, fair voice, goodbyyee!"

Okay... so yes, Sierra and Robin have had to move out to save my poor depleting graphics. Sorry, dudes, that's the way it goes.

"Guess what!"
"What?"
"We're home alone!"

"OMG! I feel a sudden urge to clean the toilet!"

"ROCK ON!"

These kids are not normal... The scary thing is, Milton is now the main parent again :o I fear for them, I really do. Oregano's already started walking around in his underpants :|

And Parsley's ego is blooming by the day

Hey, maybe even the roles have reversed.. Milton's been spending a lot of time with that telescope which is a bad idea.


A VERY Bad Idea. (You know, I've never actually had a spontaneous abduction in the whole time I've been playing the sims 2. Why didn't I predict it was going to happen to this house?! By my gosh, the faces when he came back. Oh, the faces XD)

"Hey, Parsley, can I ask you something?"
"Go Ahead, Gramps."
"Does my pout look fatter to you?"
"..."

"It's not noticeable. Whats up with your clothes, though?"

"I don't know, but these pants are SUPER comfortable."
"Stand up."


"You're pregnant."

"Whatnow?!"

Milton's gonna be a daddy again! I can't even remember that far back. Boudica, Ophelia, Orville was it? They're all grown up and probably dead. Oh well! New baby! So much for saving my graphics.

Two days on, and lots of tantrums later...

... The baby was on it's way.

And at a most inconvenient time, too - Daylight.

But Parsley was there to welcome little Filbert Fong (a boy, alien skin, Milton's blue eyes. And yes! It has a nose! I have the Pirate McSkittles PT from insim. :)) into the world so Daddy could get back to bed and prevent himself from having to be scraped of the bedroom floor with a spatula. If you can call a dark tower with a coffin in a bedroom.

A quick bottle o the white stuff, a bit of spreading the good news...

"Milton had a baby!"
"Milton had a baby?!"
"Milton had... EW!"

...And Parsley gets back to business.

Didn't I say he was a stereotypical emo?

Justus & Justus aren't the only boys with an extract of Parsley going on, David Ottomas likes his herbs too:

and by the look of that kiss, alot. Ew.

But Parsley's romantic excapades leave the boys in charge of the baby. Not a good idea. Not when one of them is off limits and spends most of his time on an exercise bike and the other has a brain the size of a pea. Free will makes sure the baby gets fed until Milton gets up, though.

Even if the house smells like a fisherman's welly.
Timesharing just about gets the house through to Filbert's birthday, too. And, because it's the last chance, we push the boat out a bit and have some balloons. But you can't see them. *shifty*

Chive's taste in suits is immaculate, don't you think? ;)

THIS is why I love Pirate McSkittles

How cute is he? In a unique way :D aww his little hawaiian shirt and his elf ears :D :D *squee*.
Filbert's Stats are: Saggitarius 1/6/10/10/8

That's a better picture.

Live in the Fong household is taken over once again by little feet and now everyone starts stepping in in to help out with bringing up the little green man. Everyone being Parsley... and occasionally Chive.

Even Justus 1 (Justus2 has taken a back seat for a while) has a tickle:

And life settles down. For a while. Well... a day or two.

It's Birthday time!

Oregano is now free!

So I can get my hands on him makeover-wise! And dress him in just about the wackiest thing in the Fong family wardrobe... >:D Hey, Once a bad apple, always a bad apple.
All he gets is some quick goodbyes



before he packs up his flamingos and moves out, dreaming of a LOVEly future ;)

Byebye Oregano!

One down, two to go! but first, it's another birthday. Parsley, Chive & Milton successfully fulfilled the 3 major wants (walk/talk/pottytrain), so Bertie's more than ready to go!


Eee :D THE cutest and most unique Fong yet.. Eventhough he's only really Half Fong if you think about it. oh well, I stand by my word.

Filbert instantly becomes best friends with Parsley :)

and follows her all over the place. They're inseperable. UBER cute to play :P but it couldn't last long. Only two days afterwards, Parsley's birthday comes around.

After a quick makeover, off she goes into the world.


So poor little Filbert has to find something else to do :(

First he turns to Chive ;)...

"Guess what!"

"Daddy Milton said I came from a space ship! That's a ship with lots of space in it!"

"HE says that the little green men sucked him up in the clouds like a milkshape and stole all his dignitys. And then when he came back I was borned. Where did you come from?"

..then Juggling... Which seems to be the better option.

Soon enough, the time came to say goodbye to the last Fong, Chive.

Quickly and painlessly after Filbert had gone to bed, it was goodbye for the last time! The end of the road! How strange!

It must have finally sunken in for Milton, too, as something very strange happened that night...





He grew up.

Well... Sort of...

THE END!

Thanks a huge amount for sticking around to read all this, I know it's taken a long time and it hasn't been the best legacy ever, but it's my first and I really appreciate that some people were kind enough to follow it :) so yeah, thanks alot! And sorry about the poor quality of the vid, not really my forte if I'm honest, Told you it was unexiting ;) but I suppose Filbert's part of the surprise too! Bye for now!

Meet the professor who former Ethiopian dictator put on “death sentence” and waited for seven years in detention without trial.

As Prof Merera Gudina trots the world freely as a renowned scholar and MP in Ethiopia, Mengistu’s life is in danger after his  country’s courts recently entered a death sentence verdict against him.

The former strong man is living in Zimbabwe, another sinking titanic, courtesy of President Mugabe.

“Ethiopia cannot be equal to Kenya, except in athletics, or we are just ahead in giving birth to our 80 million human population.”

“It has been like jumping from fire to the frying pan and then getting caught up in a ball of explosive fire,” he said.

Prof Gudina is chairman of Oromo People’s Congress, first vice-chairman United Ethiopian Democratic Forces, and chairman of Political Science and International Relations department, Addis Ababa University.

He is a senior bachelor and an MP who earns no salary.

He was in Kenya recently on invitation  of his former lecturer at the University of Addis Ababa, Prof Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o, Kenyan minister for Medical Services and co-chairman of  African Research and Resource Forum.

Prof Gudina found the Kenyan legislators quest for huge salaries a ‘‘unique” governance or rip  off strategy. However, lecturers are paid well in Ethiopia than MPs.

Prof Gudina stood up to Prime Minister and his former University colleague Meles Zenawi in 2005 during live transmitted official opening of parliament to challenge his speech and he warned that; “when people cannot find anything to eat, they can end up eating their leaders’’.

The statement infuriated the Prime Minister  to the point of refusing to answer his questions, yet in Ethiopia, it is an offence for the Prime Minister not to answer questions in Parliament.

Prof Gudina led a students’ participation in the revolution that overthrew Emperor Haile Selassie in 1974 and helped Mengistu, then a military officer, take over power, and now he is a thorn in the flesh to Mr Zenawi.

Mengistu detained him for seven years as the dreaded Red Terror squad killed thousands of  Ethiopians, including his elder brother. He was released in 1984 through a political amnesty then finished his first degree that was pending after 14 years in 1986.

Prof Gudina, aged over 50, was the guest speaker during a seminar on the regional discourses for the strengthening of the civil society in Kenya organised by the African Research and Resource Forum .

OPC a închis Olimpia, dar Cintean spune că va redeschide bazinul într-o lună

Oficiul pentru Protecţia Consumatorului din Sibiu, a anunţat miercuri, la câteva ore după moartea fetiţei, că decizia temporară de închidere a singurului bazin acoperit de înot, funcţional în România, a devenit definitivă, după ce cei din conducerea clubului CSM Sibiu, cei care patronează acest obiectiv, nu au putut dovedii că bazinul mai poate funcţiona fără să perecliteze viaţa oamenilor. CSM a primit şi o amendă de 30.000 de lei pentru neregulile descoperite la faţa locului.

Boxes are 36 packs a box, 6 cards a pack. One of those cards a pack is a "variation" card (more in a moment). That's 5 cards. There are 20 other inserts scheduled a box, leaving you with 160 of the 500 regular base cards. The last 100 cards of the set come 1 every other pack You get 18 of those, so your total base card haul from OPC will be... 132 cards. Boxes sell for around $50, so that's 200 dollars to hand collate a set, providing perfect collation.

Of course, those 4 boxes only get you 72 of the last 100 cards. Another 2 boxes would fill in that gap.

So if you want to put together the set through wax, you're looking at $300.  If you get perfect collation.  A set collectors dream.

Great 1979/80 Retro variation of the regular set!

Why not wait until next year, when it'll be the 30th anniversary of that set? You could really fire up the bells and whistles to celebrate the Wayne Gretzky rookie card set. Instead of celebrating the special 29th anniversary of the set. Sounds like a glorified parallel to me.

• Commemorate the Winter Classic... find 1 card paying tribute to the old-school event!

These are actually nice looking cards, and would probably be fun to build. However the checklist I've found online says nothing about how big this will be.

• Find Autographed Buyback cards! Just as with last year's hit, some tremendous hits can be found.

Last year's list is pretty impressive. These hits come once a case.

• Triple Jersey cards and OPC signature cards lend punch!

Indeed, there is quite a list of Triple Material cards. These fall four per case (or in in every 4 boxes) and the OPC signature cards are once a case hits as well.

And Upper Deck says there are 9 gold parallels, 1-2 retro set parallels, and 9 "Box Break" inserts a box, for those keeping score at home.

I will say this for the Upper Deck OPC releases, I always like the way the base set looks. Depending on time and money, I may actually try and chase this set on the secondary markets.

2008/09 Upper Deck OPC is scheduled to release Oct 10th.

Olimpia - închis după ce o fetiţă s-a înecat în bazin

După ce o fetiţă s-a înecat la bazinul Olimpia, Protecţia Consumatorului va închide bazinul, temporar. Fetiţa se află încontinuare la Spitalul Judeţean, dar numai aparatele o mai ţin în viaţă.

Bazinul Olimpia, acolo unde sâmbătă dimineaţă o fetiţă de numai zece ani a fost găsită în stare de inconştienţă pe fundul apei a fost ţinta unui control amănunţit, din partea unei echipe de inspectori de la Oficiul pentru Protecţia Consumatorului. După mai multe ore de cercetări, inspectorii OPC au trimis o invitaţie pe adresa directorului CSM Sibiu, Viorel Cintean, prin care acesta trebuie să se prezinte miercuri dimineaţă cu anumite acte şi pentru a da explicaţii pentru tragedia de sâmbăta trecută.
Directorul OPC, Vasile Ionaş, a declarat marţi, pentru www.sibianulonline.ro, că cel mai probabil bazinul Olimpia nu va mai fi deschis pentru persoanele fizice. „Luni a mers la faţa locului doamna inspector Turcu. Deocamdată studiem în amănunt raportul. Cel mai probabil se va aplica o amendă şi bazinul va fi închis pentru prestarea de servicii cu persoane fizice, până la rezolvarea deficienţelor constatate. Miercuri dimineaţă va veni la noi şi directorul insituţiei de care aprţine această locaţie şi după ce vom primi toate explicaţiile şi actele cerute, vom vedea dacă vom închide sau nu pentru orice tip de serviciu acest bazin”, a declarat Ionaş.(preluare sibianulonline)

An ACRONYM which will assist us in remembering the mission for Oasis is: Outward, Authentic, Serving, Incarnational, Simple

The Purpose of Oasis is: Equipping others to be more faithful disciples through serving them in discipleship-evangelism, exhortation and restoration, to a full relationship with God, in all of life.

Theology of Oasis: (taken from my recent work while in assessment through ACTS 29 Network)General Theology:

1) Who have been your primary theological teachers, or influences? In other words (apart from the Bible), what authors, theologians (either living or dead), movements, denominations, or schools of thought have most influenced your theology? John Calvin, Louis Berkhof, Robert Reymond, James Montegomery Boice, Wayne Grudem, D.A. Car-son, John MacArthur, C.J. Mahaney, Jerry Bridges, NANC, CCEF, The Westminister Standards, PCA, OPC.

2) Outside of the Bible, what is the most theologically-intensive book you have read cover-to-cover? Louis Berkhof – Systematic Theology, Wayne Grudem – Systematic Theology and Bible Doctrine, Robert L. Reymond, A New Systematic Theology of the Christian Faith, Theology of Christian Counseling – Jay Adams.

3) What is the gospel? (i.e. theologically speaking, not how you would explain the gospel message to a non-Christian)

A = Admit
1. First, God demands that we admit without reservation that we are sinners and that we should therefore be separated from His presence forever. We are in rebellion against Him, either consciously or unconsciously, and we deserve not grace but judgment. (Isa 53:4-6; Rm 1:18-32, 3:10-19, 23, 5:6-11; Gal 3:19-29; 1 Jo 1:10)

B = Believe
2. The second point to becoming a Christian is to believe that God loves you in spite of your sin and that He has acted in Jesus Christ to remove that sin and to begin to make you perfect once more by conforming you to Christ's image. "God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Rm 5:8). "For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (Jn 1:9-13, 3:16, 6:47; 1 Cor 6:9-11; Rm 10:9-10; Rev 3:20).

C = Commit
3. Finally, there must be an act by which you actually commit yourself to Christ. Or, to put it another way, you must open the gate of your heart and receive Him. This does not mean that you are responsible for your own sal-vation. If you do open the door, it is only because Christ is there beforehand moving you to do it. Still, from your own point of view, the act itself is abso-lutely indispensable. (Matt 7:21-29; Lk 6:46-49, 14:25-35; Jn 6:44, 64-65; Rm 8:26-39; 1 Jn 1:5-10).

Lately too, I have also been having the folks read Luke 8:5-18; 15:1-32 and asking them what kind of soil are they and which brother are they in the parables? These two final questions have led to some great EGGs (Evidences of God’s Grace) in how they are answered and what God is doing in their hearts!!! I have been also been known to use Romans 1:18-32 and anything by the Way of the Master as a tool to start a spiritual conversation!

4) Please give your view of the scriptures.
I affirm that the Bible is the only inspired, inerrant, authoritative and sufficient Word of God consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments. Scripture asserts its sufficiency, in that it claims exclusivity for its teaching and applicability (Isa. 55:11; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:3–4 NASB).

5) Briefly describe your philosophy of ministry and evangelism?
I am convinced that the subjects of evangelism is everyone, both believer and non-believer, that the substance of evangelism is the Gospel, and that the method of our evangelism is declaration and demonstration. Further, I am convinced that the context of our evangelism is personal and corporate.

I believe that any ministry and evangelism should contain the following elements:

Outward - because I have been shown great mercy, I do not hold onto that secret, I “get to” share it with others (Matt 28:18-20; Acts 1:8).

Authenticity, not contrived or forced relationships are not going to reveal Christ to anyone, but through participating together in the life and truth made possible by the Holy Spirit, through our union with Christ, sharing in common on the deepest possible level of human relationship which is essentially walking out ALL the “one-another’s” found in scripture (Acts 2:42; 1 Cor. 15:10; Phi. 2:1; Phlm. 1:6). I like the quote, “a pattern of effective behavior that flows out of core identity, character and calling, enabling you to fulfill your role with excellence by meeting the needs of the present situation to the glory of Christ and for the good of others.”

Serving – acknowledging that Christian service is God-centered (Col. 3:23-24), others-focused (Gal. 5:13), characterized by humility (Phil. 2:3-4), empowered by the Spirit of God (1 Peter 4:10-11).

Incarnational - not just basing a ministry model on the Jesus who lived, but on the Jesus who lives. "Christians living out the gospel in their cultural context like Jesus who tabernacled among us." - Darrin Patrick (Mar 3:1-6; Rev 2:1-3:22).

Simple – the daily Christian life is based upon faith in Christ, repentance unto Christ and new obedience in Christ and we tend to complicate it into rules and regulations, guilt and shame management based upon appeasement.

6) What is our role in saving the lost, and what is God’s role? See #3 above which is quite clear on this, however for further clarity, our role is to declare and demonstrate the Word and God is in charge of the results (Luke 8:5-15; 1 Cor. 3:4-23).

7) In your own words, how do you understand the doctrine of predestination and what view do you personally hold on this doctrine? (e.g. God’s sovereignty vs. man’s responsibility, free will, who are the elect, etc.) I am reformed in my perspective of predestination and this is my personal view that predestination of which for me, means that salvation and reprobation are entirely God’s decision, made in eternity before the world and its inhabitants existed, regarding the final destiny of individual sinners that God has chosen some persons for the gift of salvation...and some for hell. All of which is an affirmation of God’s gracious favor bestowed upon the undeserving. I believe scripture confirms God’s sovereignty AND man’s responsibility, one cannot read for instance 1 Cor. 10:12-14 asking the question WHO IS RESPONSIBLE and not see that tension. I wholeheartedly believe that because of the fall, man is incapable of any spiritual good and without God’s intervention are destined for hell. That any attempt of good deeds are worthless and filthy rags. I like how the WCF puts it: “Man, by his fall into a state of sin, has completely lost all ability to choose any spiritual good that accompanies salvation. Therefore, an unregenerate man, because he is opposed to that good and is dead in sin, is unable by his own strength to convert himself or to prepare himself to be converted.” Scriptures that confirm this view are clearly in Proverbs 16:4; John 13:18; Romans 8:30; Ephesians 1:3-14; 2 Thessalonians 2:13-13.

8 ) How has Adam’s sin affected our nature and our ability to choose in regard to good and evil? See #7 above. Because Adam’s sin is imputed to us, it also necessitates the need for Christ’s righteousness to be imputed to us. I like how the WCF puts this, “When God converts a sinner and brings him into the state of grace, he frees him from his natural bondage to sin, and by his grace alone he enables him freely to will and to do what is spiritually good. Yet, because of his remaining corruption, he does not perfectly nor only will what is good, but also wills what is evil. The will of man is made perfectly and unchangeably free to do good alone, only in the state of glory.”

9) Briefly describe your view of local church government, including the offices, who can/should hold them, and who has final authority for decision making? I wholeheartedly subscribe to finding our job descriptions in the bible, i.e., Jesus is Senior Pastor, elders and deacons. I do not see “directors” of this or that ministry, and I want people to find their job descriptions in the Bible, specifically the Pastoral Epistles. I do not see a division between teaching elders or ruling elders but one class. I also see that scripture is open to women holding the position of deacon (Romans 16:1) but not to the office of elder. I also believe that a session (a body of elders) is also biblical, used of God to shepherd the people for decisions, teaching, stewardship and that Jesus/Bible is the final authority for decision making.

10) What is your eschatological position?
I hold to Historic Premillennialism, the view that Christ will return to the earth after a period of great tribulation and then establish a millennial kingdom. At this time believers who have died will be raised from the dead and believers who are alive will receive glorified resurrection bodies, and both will reign with Christ on earth for a thousand years (Rev. 20:1–10). I have visited this issue a few times, and still land on HP. One of the best resources to assist me with this issue and I refer to others is: “The Meaning of the Millennium” by Clouse.

11) In regard to the values that will shape every aspect of the life of your church, please list 6 core convictions concerning which you (as lead planter) will never give in, nor even bend on, as you plant your church.
o (1) – Sola Scriptura - Scripture is the final authority for all matter of faith and life (Isa. 55:11; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:3–4).
o (2) – Evangelism, discipleship and counseling is one ministry and not optional (Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 15:14; II Corinthians 1:4; Galatians 6:1-5; I Thessalonians 3:2; II Timothy 4:2; Hebrews 10:23-25).
o (3) – Biblical peacemaking is a skill that is consistently, surgically, immediately, accountably, redemptively, restoratively, and humbly worked on in all of life (
