![]() The use of the word “justify” - the famous Pauline word (Rom 2:13 3:4, 20, 24, 26, 28, 30 4:2, 5 5:1, 9 6:7 8:30, 33 etc.) - links this verse with a previous use in Luke: “And when all the people heardHim ,even the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John” (7:29). Jesus rebuked them quite directly, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts” (Luke 16:15). ![]() The paradoxical parable ends, however, with the lesson that one cannot serve God and money (Luke 16:13)! The Pharisees apparently had been listening all along and since they were lovers of money, they were offended at the very un-paradoxical ending of the parable, so they ridiculed Jesus (Luke 16:14). This one is more difficult since it is about an unjust manager who is praised in spite of the fact that he misused his master’s funds. Then, Jesus tells another parable, ostensibly directed to the disciples (Luke 16:1). Even more, like the father’s words to the older son, it is an invitation for the scribes and Pharisees to rejoice with Jesus that the sinners have come home. Why this ending? It is meant to provoke thought. We are not told if the older son joins the party or is reconciled to his father or brother. We must note that in contrast to the first two parts of the parable, the final part of the trilogy has no ending. In response to their hardheartedness, Jesus tells a three-part parable about God rejoicing at the repentance of sinners - the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. ![]() It is part of a long context that begins in Luke 15:1, where Jesus is eating with tax collectors and sinners and the scribes and Pharisees grumble. The parable of Lazarus and the nameless rich man is not an independent story. ![]()

Right-click to show the shortcut menu, and then choose the formatting and alignment options you want. That will keep all the lines in the same paragraph, and make it easier to indent them or change their vertical position. Special tip: Press SHIFT+ENTER between the lines that are in the same block (for example, your name and address). In the Address box, type the company and contact information you want to display on your business card. (If the product number you want is not listed, one of the listed labels still may be the size paper you want.) Under Product number, choose the business card number you want, and then click OK. In the Label vendor box, click the manufacturer of your business cards. Next, click the Mailings tab, and then click Labels. If you’re using Word 2010 or Word 2007, start by checking the size and the product number of the business cards that you’ve purchased. You’re going to create a label that’s the size of your business cards. If you want to do it all yourself and you want only text on your business card, you can use purchased business card cardstock and the Envelopes and Labels dialog box. Just be sure to note what size card the template uses. With a template, you can include graphics on your business card–for example, your company logo. If you’re going to use Word to create your business cards, your next best bet is to start with a template from. However, if you have Microsoft Publisher installed, that’s your best bet for making business cards. You can use Word to create business cards from a template or from scratch. ![]() ![]() With a sleek and sculpted exterior design, the Acadia emits a look of refinement. To avoid unintended acceleration, an enhanced electronic pedal override reduces power to the engine when the brake and accelerator pedals are depressed at the same time.Īcadia Denali also features an exclusive interior acoustic package that makes it the quietest model in the Acadia lineup. Also standard on Denali models – and all Acadia models – is hill-hold assist braking technology, which applies the brakes for 1.5 seconds when the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal on inclines of 5 percent or steeper. ![]() When it comes to safety, the Acadia Denali is up to the task with the side blind zone alert and rear cross traffic alert, a radar system that helps detect things drivers might not see in a blind zone. Technology continues to play a role in the Denali with the Color Touch navigation system, which allows drivers to use a wide range of functions from a touch screen infotainment center, including music, maps, Bluetooth, weather and more. Denali-specific aluminum trim and accent lighting in the footwells and sill plates add to the interior ambience, while heated and cooled seats provide an extra level of relaxation. Some of Denali's impressive exterior design cues include unique body-side moldings with chrome accents and Denali badges, dual flow-through chrome exhaust outlets that are integrated into the rear fascia and high-intensity discharge headlamps.ĭenali's standard comfort and safety features continue to inspire drivers on the inside, too, with interior features such as perforated leather seating and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with mahogany inserts. With signature design cues including a monochromatic exterior highlighted with chrome accents, the Denali exudes luxury through its many high-end details. The Acadia Denali, available in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models with seven- and eight-passenger seating configurations, continues to turn heads on the road. Additionally, the second and third row still fold flat for class-leading maximum cargo space, including the ability to carry 48-inch-wide sheet goods, such as drywall and plywood. Known for its interior functionality especially popular with families, including the SmartSlide seating system, Acadia allows easy access to the third row for both seven- and eight-passenger seating configurations. Towing capability for the Acadia is 5,200 pounds (2,364 kg), when properly equipped. ![]() The transmission controls provide quick and consistent shifts for a commanding feel behind the wheel. The engine is paired with Acadia's fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmission to help give FWD models an EPA-estimated 24 mpg on the highway. A 3.6L V-6 VVT engine that uses gasoline direct injection technology powers all Acadia models, optimizing performance and fuel economy across the board. The Acadia Denali builds on those attributes with higher levels of luxury and style.Ĭontinual refinements greet the Acadia for 2015, including a new heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel standard on SLT-2 and Denali models, a new 20-inch wheel design and a trio of new exterior colors: Crimson Red Tintcoat, Dark Sapphire Blue Metallic and Midnight Amethyst Metallic.Īcadia's lineup includes the SLE (with SLE-1 and SLE-2 trims), the SLT (with SLT-1 and SLT-2 trims) and the Denali models, with seven- or eight-passenger configurations. The GMC Acadia midsize crossover is known for flexibility, accommodating space and the functionality that illustrates the brand's professional grade philosophy. 2015 GMC ACADIA ADDS CONVENIENCE, COMFORT AND STYLE ![]() ![]() Other ways to do it would be to apply the solidify modifier and use a vertex group to limit the particles on the top surface, or could duplicate the mesh and model that as the emitter for the particles, but hiding the emitter itself from render, which can be done in particle system properties -> render. If you want to move the mesh because the changed solidify offset, could do that by selecting all in edit mode, and then shrink/fatten (alt+S) to get it closer or away from the dough. One way to do that is to move the particle system modifier on the top, and then tell solidify modifier to switch the direction it creates the thickness on the object by changing the offset to the other side. Enabling that option would make it put the particles on all surfaces.īut you probably only want it on the top surface. Except the particle system hasn’t been told to follow those. First the mesh gets a thickness, then it gets subdivided and smoothed with subdivision, and then there’s the particle system that goes over the result from those two. This means each duplicated object is scaled by a random amount not to exceed 37%.The modifier stack order is from top down. To help hide this, I set the Rand bar at the bottom of the Render section 0.37. With even a cursory glance at this picture you can tell that all the trees are identical to the last detail. That way each system uses the same positioning data, and I won’t have a lot of bare dead trees along with bunches of leaves floating in the air. ![]() It’s not much of a big deal though I simply duplicated the first particle system and only changed which object the second system uses. That means I need two particle systems, one for each object. One thing that’s kind of tedious is that the trunk and branches are one object and the leaves are another. ![]() That means that if it’s straight up-and-down here, it’ll be lying on the ground when the particle system places it.įor this particle system, in the Render section of the Properties bar, I choose Object, and then selected “tree” (the name of the tree object) in the Dupli Obj box. This is because I’ll be using another particle system to place trees on the planetoid, and particle systems align objects along their X axes. I wanted some cool, dappled light under my canopy of trees. The default settings made for too barren-looking a tree for my taste, so I tweaked them to get some more branch subdivision and consequently more leaves. I wanted my planetoid lush.įirst, I generated a tree using the Add Tree tool. Yes, I know the grass looks like solid color blobs from this distance. I created a particle system, and played with the waving and clumping settings until I had results that I liked: The result is long strands radiating out from an object, like hair or grass. That same tool can render an object along what would have been the particle path. Like many 3D tools, Blender has a particle system for animating systems of particles acting together, like fire, water, or smoke. Here’s a render with the material applied: This one is called Earth_terricciogillan, and has the rough sandstone look that I wanted: Next, I added some color by importing a material from the Blender Presets collection. I used Blender’s “Clouds” texture with almost no tweaking… This modifier takes the color or grayscale values of the pixels in an image and uses them to control how much the surface is distorted relative to its normal (the direction perpendicular to its face). Now that there was plenty of geometry to work with, I used a displace modifier to deform that geometry. Then I used a subsurface modifier (3 levels for the working view, 4 for rendering) to add more surface detail: I started with a simple torus, made using a standard primitive with a few tweaks to the dimensions: That’s a whole other project for now it’s pre-rendered stills and video only. Some of the best I’ve used have been Blender Guru and Blender Cookie, but you’ll find many at the forums in the previous paragraph.Įventually, I want to make it possible to move a virtual camera over this interestingly-shaped landscape in real time, in the manner of a first-person shooter, using Blender’s game engine.

For more about this amazing program, see or one or the excellent user forums such as the Blender user community or. Here’s an attempt to make a torus (doughnut)-shaped planetoid in the free 3D modeling program called Blender. Yeah, I know the physics of a habitable planetoid are ridiculous, but this is one case where I don’t care. Maybe it’s because I read The Little Prince at a young age, but I’ve always liked the idea having a tiny planetoid to explore, like a secret garden. ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s no way to preview and recover files while scanning is still in progress.

Īpart from the Foundation itself, there are numerous rival organizations (collectively referred to as Groups of Interest, or GOIs) which are also actively involved with the paranormal world. These documents describe the SCPs and include instructions for keeping them safely contained, as well as supplementary incident reports or experimentation logs. The Foundation maintains documentation for all SCPs which they are aware of which can include or link to related reports and files. The Foundation also acquires disposable human test subjects called D-class personnel, who are usually (though not always) convicted criminals taken from prisons around the world, and forces them to take part in experiments with potentially dangerous SCPs in order to avoid risking the safety of Foundation employees themselves. Īt the Foundation's secret facilities, SCPs are studied and researched by scientists in order to improve containment methods for them. This is accomplished through censorship of mass media, and by dosing all eyewitnesses with amnestic drugs which erase their memories of anomalous events. If an anomaly is too widespread, elusive, or otherwise inaccessible, containment usually consists of suppressing all knowledge of the SCP from the public. Whenever an SCP anomaly is discovered, teams of undercover Foundation agents (often called Mobile Task Forces, or MTFs) are deployed to either collect and transport the object to one of the organization's many secret facilities, or to contain it at its location of discovery if transportation is not possible. All information regarding the existence of the Foundation and SCPs are strictly withheld from the general public in order to prevent mass hysteria that would supposedly occur if they were leaked, and allow human civilization to continue functioning under a masquerade of "normalcy". If left uncontained, many of the more dangerous anomalies will pose a serious threat to humans or even all life on Earth. They include living beings and creatures, artifacts and objects, locations and places, abstract concepts, and incomprehensible entities which display supernatural abilities or other extremely unusual properties. Despite their extremely secretive nature, the Foundation is entrusted by governments around the world to capture and contain various unexplained paranormal phenomena that defy the known laws of nature (referred to as "anomalies", "SCP objects", "SCPs", or informally as "skips"). The fictional setting centers around the findings and activities of the SCP Foundation: an international secret society consisting of a scientific research institution with a paramilitary intelligence agency to support their goals. The SCP universe has inspired numerous fan-made adaptations in widely varying forms of media including books, comics, music, video games, animated and live-action short films. The wiki's literary works have been praised for their ability to convey horror through a quasi-scientific and academic writing style, as well as for their high standards of quality. The website also contains "Foundation Tales", short stories featuring various characters and settings in the SCP universe. ![]() The majority of works on the SCP Wiki consist of thousands of SCP files: mock confidential scientific reports that document various SCPs and associated containment procedures. The collaborative writing project operates on the wiki-like website SCP Wiki, and includes elements of many genres such as horror, science fiction, and urban fantasy. ![]() Within the website's shared universe, the Foundation is responsible for capturing, containing, and studying various paranormal, supernatural, and other mysterious phenomena unexplained by science (known as "anomalies" or "SCPs"), while also keeping their existence hidden from the rest of human society.

If you have a complete group of cards in one suit in perfect descending order it can be removed from play.However there must be at least one card in each column when you do this. You can deal 10 cards from the cards remaining, one to each column if you cannot make any moves.Any group or single card you might be able to move can be placed on an empty column.If a card that is face down in a column is open it must be turned over.For example you could move a 10, 9 and 8 of diamonds as a group onto any open Jack. Groups of cards can only be moved if they are all in the same suit and are in perfect descending order.For example any 9 can be placed on any 10. A single card can only be moved to another pile if the card being moved is one less than the card it will be placed on.It's probably best to explain the detailed rules for the 4 suit version of the game first and then explain the changes for the easier two suit version and one suit version. All three use the same basic rules, but the way the cards can be moved is slightly different for the easier version. There are three possible versions of spider solitaire. These cards will cover all 8 columns, forcing you to rearrange them so you can reach any grouped columns you have created and arranged previously. You can deal more cards to the layout by clicking the card located in the bottom right. It is vitally important to use this well, as freeing up other options is exactly what this card game is about. If a column is empty you can place anything on it. For this reason wherever possible it is best to create descending columns of the same suit. When trying to move a column of cards, they can only be moved if they are all in the same suit. A Queen of Hearts can cover any Red King or Black King). A single card can be moved onto a column if it is one lower than the card it is covering (e.g. The basic rules of spider solitaire are as follows. The rest of the cards remain in the deck to be used later. The last 6 columns of cards have 4 cards dealt face down, with the fifth and final card on these columns dealt face up. The first 4 columns of cards have 5 cards that are face down with the sixth card at the bottom dealt face up. You must rearrange the deal to uncover the cards underneath. You will see at the start of the game that 10 columns are dealt at the top, with only the top card shown. Spider Solitaire is played with two decks of 52 cards with all jokers removed. When a column like this is created it is automatically removed from the game freeing up space and opening up cards for you to continue. The goal of this solitaire game is to remove 8 columns of cards at the bottom, each descending from King to Ace in a single suit. However when you do finally win, it's a great feeling! When playing spider solitaire on its most difficult setting, you will have to quit and restart many, many times. Spider solitaire requires patience, logical thinking and luck. It is also an immensely challenging free online solitaire game, that is assuming you elect to play with 4 suits! However thanks to its simple rules it is quite easy to learn how to play even if it requires some serious thought to try and win a round.
