This article covers the various performance metrics displayed by the Performance Analysis Dashboard and Performance Analysis Overview, and how to interpret different metric values and combinations of values across different metrics for BI Sentry.
SSAS Activity Rows Transferred: Query Rows Sent / Sec The rate of rows sent by the server to the clients.
Proc rows read / Sec The rate of rows read from all relational databases. If you are connected to SQL Server, you should be reading at least 80,000 rows per sec per table being processed.
SSAS Activity Threads: Formula Engine: Busy The Processor performance object consists of counters that measure aspects of processor activity. The processor is the part of the computer that performs arithmetic and logical computations, initiates operations on peripherals, and runs the threads of processes. A computer can have multiple processors. The processor object represents each processor as an instance of the object.
SSAS Activity Threads: Formula Engine: Job Rate The rate of jobs through the query thread pool.
SSAS Activity Threads: Formula Engine: Queued The number of jobs in the queue of the query thread pool.
SSAS Activity Threads: Storage Engine: Busy The number of threads.
SSAS Activity Threads: Storage Engine: Job Rate The rate of non IO jobs through the thread pool.
SSAS Activity Threads: Storage Engine: Queued The number of jobs in the processing thread pool queue.
SSAS General Average Time (ms): Formula Engine The average amount of time for a query to be executing in the formula engine.
SSAS General Average Time (ms): SE cached The average amount of time spent returning data from the storage engine cache.
SSAS General Average Time (ms): SE non-cached The average amount of time spent returning non-cached data from the storage engine cache.
SSAS General Average Time (ms): Serialization The average amount of time spent serializing data to disk ( as in data aggregations).
SSAS General Average Time (ms): SQL Queries The average amount of time spent executing SQL queries from the relational database.
Displays the average processing time in milliseconds. Processing in SSAS Involves the SE, and can cause the Cache to become outdated and flushed. This causes a performance hit because when the query is run after processing completes, the SE has to retrieve the necessary data from the Windows file cache or from disk (cold cache). Non 0 values on the indicate that processing is taking place.
Re-scheduling processing when the least querying activity is going on. This helps to avoid resource contention.
Check the processing type that is being used; Use ProcessIndex instead of ProcessFull when possible.
Break the measure groups into partitions to reduce the overall amount of work that is done.
The total number of cell properties calculated. High values for Cells calc’d while the query is executing indicates that the query is doing cell by cell calculations (this is like row by agonizing row in SQL Server) instead of Subspace (block by block) execution.
The total number of evaluation nodes built by MDX execution plans including active, and cached. High values for Calc Covers while the query is executing indicates that the query is doing cell by cell calculations (this is like row by agonizing row in SQL Server) instead of Subspace (block by block) execution.
The total number of subcubes that the query optimizer generated. High values for Sonarsubcubes while the query is executing indicates that the query is doing cell by cell calculations (this is like row by agonizing row in SQL Server) instead of Subspace (block by block) execution.
The total number of cells recomputed due to error. Recomputes indicate that there were errors in the calculations during query execution. Non 0 values indicate where unnecessary recalculations are taking place and can fall back to cell by cell executions.
The total number of times unoptimized the NON EMPTY algorithm is used. NE unopt helps determine if performance degradation is occurring due to a slower code path. Using a non-empty algorithm can speed up performance.
The total number of times the NON EMPTY algorithm was looping over calculated members. NE calc memb help determine if performance degradation is occurring due to a slower code path. Using a non-empty algorithm can speed up performance.
SSAS Memory Memory Usage (MB): Shrinkable SSAS has two general categories of memory, shrinkable and nonshrinkable. Shrinkable memory can be easily reduced and returned back to the OS. Shrinkable memory is the amount of memory in KB that's subject to purging by the background cleaner.
SSAS Memory Memory Usage (MB): Nonshrinkable SSAS has two general categories of memory, shrinkable and nonshrinkable. Nonshrinkable memory is generally used for more essential system-related tasks such as memory allocators and metadata objects, and is not easily reduced. Nonshrinkable memory is the amount of memory in KB that's not subject to purging by the background cleaner.
SSAS Memory Cache Activity: Cache Inserts The rate of inserts from the cache.
SSAS Memory Cache Activity: Cache Evictions The rate of evictions from the cache. Note: This is per partition per cube per database.
SSAS Memory Cache Activity: KB added The rate of memory added to the cache (KB / Sec).
SSAS Memory Cache Activity: KB Shrunk The rate of shrinking in KB / Sec.
SSAS Activity Connections The current number of client connections established to the Analysis Services server.
SSAS Activity Sessions The current number of user sessions established to the Analysis Services server.
SSAS Activity Requests/Sec The rate of incoming connection requests per second.
SSAS Activity Failures/Sec The rate of connection failures per second.
SSAS General Current Locks The current number of locked objects.
SSAS General Current Lock Waits The current number of clients waiting for a lock.
SSAS Memory Cache Hit ratio: Dim percent The ratio of cache hits from the dimensions.
SSAS Memory Cache Hit ratio: MG percent The ratio for measure groups.
SSAS Storage File Cache Hit Ratio: Read percent The percent reading to the storage engine cache.
SSAS Storage File Cache Hit Ratio: Write percent The percent writing to the storage engine cache.
SSAS Memory Mem Usage (MB): VertiPaq paged .
SSAS Memory Mem Usage (MB): VertiPaq nonpaged .
SSAS Memory Cache Activity: Dim Cache Lookups .
SSAS Memory Cache Activity: Calc Cache Lookups .
SSAS General Processing: Proc rows Written / Sec Displays the rate of Processing rows written during processing. Processing in SSAS Involves the SE, and can cause the Cache to become outdated and flushed. This causes a performance hit because when the query is run after processing completes, the SE has to retrieve the necessary data from the Windows file cache or from disk (cold cache). Non 0 values on the indicate that processing is taking place.
These metrics can also help determine the effectiveness of any processing tuning efforts. If your tuning efforts are effective, you should see an increase in these values accordingly.
SSAS General Processing: Index rows created Displays the rate of rows from MOLAP files used to create indexes. Processing in SSAS Involves the SE, and can cause the Cache to become outdated and flushed. This causes a performance hit because when the query is run after processing completes, the SE has to retrieve the necessary data from the Windows file cache or from disk (cold cache).Non 0 values on the indicate that processing is taking place.
SSAS General Processing: Aggregate rows created Displays the rate Aggregate rows are created during processing. Processing in SSAS involves the SE, and can cause the Cache to become outdated and flushed. This causes a performance hit because when the query is run after processing completes, the SE has to retrieve the necessary data from the Windows file cache or from disk (cold cache).Non 0 values on the indicate that processing is taking place.
SSAS Memory Cache Lookups: Dimension The rate of cache lookups.
SSAS Memory Cache Lookups: Measure grp The rate of Measure group queries.
The rate of calculation cache lookups, including global, session, and query scope calculation caches.
SSAS Memory Cache Lookups: Flat The rate of Flat Cache lookups, including global, session, and query scope flat caches.
SSAS Memory Cache Activity: Flat Cache inserts The rate of insertions into the cache. Note: This is per partition per cube per database.
SSAS Storage File Queries by Category .
SSAS Storage Current Partitions by Category The amount of partitions during querying .

As you probably know, identity theft is an increasing phenomenon and has always been an issue in the digital age, due to the accessibility of the information online. Identity theft, also known as ID theft is the theft of someone’s personal data, including usernames, emails, phone numbers, credit card information and more. It can be stolen and also bought from identity thieves. Identity data can be stolen or fraudulently acquired to impersonate the victim in order to apply for financial services (also known as financial fraud), gain access to the victim’s bank account, email or other services, or evade legal prosecution or other consequences by providing false identities.
ID theft is often the consequence of businesses and organizations that do not secure the private and sensitive data properly. The failures can include vulnerable IT infrastructure that allows hackers to access servers and copy entire databases; employees are also able to leak company’s private information on the Internet that might enable hackers to gain access to a company’s servers.

Her face is above mine. Ripples murmur over her features—black brows in slim lines. A too-large nose. Perfectly formed lips in plumped half-wedges. Rounded cheeks, pale. A tumble of raven-hued hair. At first, she looks dead. A painting or another adaption of real life. Only a copy. But then her arms move, fingers barely penetrating the water, dotting close to my face. She is not dead, no. No, she is too alive. I sink further back, hidden among weeds and muck. She never guesses. Never sees me with those great black eyes, so like my own.
I live in a walled garden. It’s neatly maintained by a small cache of gardeners in wide-brimmed straw hats, arms ever scratched from thickets and thorns. As they bend down, hours of their days spent crouching, they remind me of the thatched houses that once dotted my village. These men tend to yellow roses, fragrant orange groves, and wide arcs of basil. A pocket of stately elms surround a fountain, my fountain, their planting following the outer stone curvature. Here, in the grey stone lip, water sits, collecting mildew, as do I. Raised above the water on a small pedestal stands a stone child, pouring out her jug. Only the contents move, a soft trickle into the moat below. It’s a mundane act, I think. Sad to capture.
Since I spend much of my time with her, this doppelganger of a girl probably now grown, probably now buried, I have come to wonder about her life. Who was she? Why a jug? These questions follow me as I spend my days on my ledge. I try to give the girl a noble life, but always come back to that vessel. A washerwoman? Too young. Her fingers are too slender, too smooth. Her frame is wrapped in a chiseled gown—one too pretty for chores. For years I’ve studied her long, toned limbs, delicate hands and feet, both without nails. She is always there. Standing over me. Paying my consideration of her in drops, rivulets, and streams. Her face is tilted towards her task. It seems a cruel fate. A girl forever at work, never able to glimpse sky. Whoever placed this girl under her trance, encapsulating her in stone—surrounded by a ring of water, a wall of granite, then earth and elms—seems to have placed so much protection into this plan. Protection for the girl? Or from her?
I remain in shadow or below. I want no part. At least I have irises. Pupils.
The next day, the sun bleeds over the mountains, mid-morning light seeking to penetrate the stilled-glass water. She is looking down and I am looking up. I blink, focusing on a movement of hair. This is no statue. It’s her.
I need air soon, but I wait as the living girl sits on the stone ledge of my fountain, her fingers brushing out her dark tangles. She is usually humming, but there’s no song today. I think about hopping from the water onto the statue, but I hate touching the statue’s deadened feet. I need to breathe. She gazes at her reflection so long some days I often wonder if she is tempting a similar enchantment as the statue in my fountain. And we all know what happened to Narcissus. But here I go. I jump out, legs bent, then straightened, muscles flexed and springing and flexed as I land beside her. The girl gives a start, unsteady on her feet, before squinting to see whom, or rather what, I am. I smell her scream, butterscotch. Air floods my system. Her eyes, even hunched, are lovely.
“Awful toad!” A huff as she sits back down, fanning out her skirts away from me. I take this in silence, at first ready to hop away, but I stay instead, eyeing the curling drapery of her hair, the flush that spreads over her face, blood twisting in her body from the shock. I eye the blue ivy veins in her neck. I can’t help myself.
She sighs and I edge nearer. Her neck falls forward, then, head bowed. Heavy in her seat, her hands are collected in her lap. And she stares. I wait. I want to frighten her—anything for her to move, to speak. But here she is, still as stone.
“I lost it.” There’s a long pause, and she flicks the edge of her vision to me, as if bestowing a gift. I flare out my lungs as a response, my sides expanding. She notices the movement. “Heinrich’s ring. I stole it. Last we met.” Her voice like velvet, her words are soft purrs, but her sentences feel chopped, bloody and torn at the edges. “Told him he needed to visit me again if he wanted it back.” Her lips twitch, the smallest smile. For a moment, she’s lost to this garden and me. For a moment, she looks pleased.
But I can’t hear her so well. I wonder at this, the air turning sour. These vowels are smothering. These consonants are slicing open my great stomach. And pain—pain is prying my eyes open and cutting cavities. Heinrich. A memory steals into my mind, swallowing down my throat. For now, I can only think his name. And here it is. Falling from her lips. A terrible power, sound is.
“I’d give anything to find it.” Her smile unhinges itself.
I know the ring. I kept it after she dropped it into the grass a few days ago. It took me a while to remember where I had seen it before. Circling the small band, I hopped around it, letting my memories unfurl themselves like lilies. Fresh, abundant perfume, before the scent turns towards decay. I took it into my mouth and brought it into the pool of water. I liked the metallic taste. Reminded me of blood. Of him. I didn’t eat anything, I hardly even moved for two days after finding it, too content to sit on the ring like a hen, hoarding my bounty.
Guilt seizes my muscles. And anger. Blood is rushing my throat, bubbling near my ears and eyes. HeinrichHeinrichHeinrich. I belch a croak at her. MineMineMine. But he gave his ring, my ring, his ring, to her. To another. I belch a longer croak. I couldn’t stand her face anymore. I couldn’t harness the drumming of my pulse, my frog blood sprinting through the chambers of my small heart. That witch. My muscles are sluggish. Slow. When I ceased to exist in the human world, I never thought that he’d continue to live in it. Not fully.
I hop back into the water. An angry trail of fingers and splashed water trails my legs as I sink back down into my murk.
Days later, I am waiting on the stone ledge with the ring. I push it around in my mouth. Heinrich. It pains me that I can’t form the word with my mouth. My tongue no longer moves like it did. And teeth?
Heinrich. Browned-butter hair. Light eyes. Lines carved into a smile. An hour flies past, my mouth fussing and twisting.
I hear her shoes clomping down on the grass and leaves. She comes every third day. Worked up, I breathe heavily, which I hate doing in the open. It makes me look afraid, I know. Vulnerable. Noticeable. But here she is, and she’s looking at the fountain, the statue, then me. Slowly, my eyes locked on hers, I spill the ring out. A plain gold band with four opals. It plinks onto the stone, shakes, then stills. A small sound to the world. My ears ring with its howl.
I edge away. When her glance splashes over it, a small breath leaves her lungs. Surging forward she almost knocks me away, her hand sweeping, pawing at the ring. Jamming it onto her hand, she spins.
“God!” Her face looms towards mine, blocking the late afternoon sun. I can’t see her features clearly—her eyebrows and lashes and nose and teeth are a maze of texture—porous skin, fur, enamel.
“Toadie, did you do this?” Her eyes are slightly unfocused with relief, liquid pupils of ink. When she turns and makes her way back to her house, I quietly follow. I count the statue as a witness to our deal. The girl doesn’t look down. She doesn’t look back.
My legs and muscles feel rusty, feel foreign as I hop, hop, hop, over and over and over. The grass is bobbing up and down near my head like waves. My stomach is acid and bumblebees. But I follow her. The promise has been made.
I lose her only once in the house when I stop and stare at the strange faces carved into a relief, lips pushing, opening themselves from stone. Eyes, again, without pupils. I shudder, turning away from them, away from silent pleas and unseeing eyes. Servants are busy rushing away at their chimneys and plates and floors, slowing down only when the girl enters or exits a room, their eyes hungry on her face, their movements stiff as dolls. Their eyes, round moths, flying around her face, cloaked body, the ring she is stroking.
I try to be as discreet as possible, following at a turtle’s pace. The staircase, polished wood and bolted carpet, is the worst. There are cherubs holding up the banisters, stomachs carved and peeled round. The girl’s skirts are raised just enough as she climbs to show a shapely calf, carefully covered in white stockings. Delicate ankles. Polished shoes. My legs tire often, weakened by days, months, years of just hopping up one step, then down. But my days are numbered with these legs, this moist green skin. My moments are counted. My large tongue ticks them off against its dry roof. One step. Then another. I lose her on the second floor. She was too quick on the stairs. On, on, on, I need to get moving. I taste the air, trying to catch her scent, a clue, something. Her soft laugh. A black hair upon the tanned wood.
Child. You of the raven hair. Eyes of deer. Scent of rose. Child. Child. Child. Girl who walked into my garden, with your light dresses, your curled lashes. Living doll. You, who had a ring, lost a ring, found a ring. You of quick promises.
Her bedroom door is open to let the breeze wander in. There is soft yellow wallpaper glued to lofty walls, broken open by long, lean windows. The glass is so old it has begun to droop, a watery composition that softens the diminishing light. I’ve read, long ago when I still had that power, that windows are often compared to eyes and teeth of the houses to which they belong. But these windows are planned wounds. Inflicted necessities.
I creep in. A chaise lounge rests on one side of the room, and her bed on the other. A fireplace leans between two bookcases, dusty with disuse. Impossible glass animals dot the mantel among dried flowers. Unicorns. Mermaids. Manticores. Fairies. I shiver—if I exist in this prison, they do too. I think of my statue. Did this girl collect us? Breath is snorting in and out of my body. Shadows are waking up, meeting one another under the pieces of cherry furniture. They stretch their limbs pooling under my body. I hobble under the lion-footed bed and wait. Croaking like a death beetle.
Dusk falls heavily, vulgar in its vanity. The light shifts quickly now—a deep golden orange to a plum blue. It is time for bed. A play has begun in reverse. Out comes the brush. Off come the earrings, the pearls, the bracelets. Her dress does not slide to the floor. It falls in a great heap, despite a servant trying to keep it from being wrinkled further. The girl tramples the thing. It feels so electric, to see so much skin, to see her legs moving up and down as she leaps across the room, flying onto her bed like a child. My breath comes at a pant. Vanilla. Rose. Peony. Scents from an old world breaking over my skin, heavy in their dosage. I am soothed and suffocated. Now, the candles are snuffed. The velvet curtains around the bed drift towards one another, released from their silk bindings. As they fall closed, I take my moment.
I am able to pop myself up—takes me four bounds to reach the duvet and mounds of lace-trimmed pillows. Darkness has already crept into the shadows of her face. Eye sockets. Above and below the lips. Around her hairline. Cold paralysis crawls over my limbs. It’s hard to move. Suddenly, I am at home in my fountain, wading through the mud floor, her hair like kelp. I lumber onto her pillow, breathing in her heavy scent. Her skin is soap and sweat. Hair scented of outside, like home. Vanilla behind her ears and under her chin. I lean close.
Is this where you wish to be kissed?
Her chest lifts her shift, trimmed in creamy scalloped lace around her thin-boned collar. Moonlight pools in bright spots under windows, scattering the shadows. Now is the hour. I’ve read the instructions before. I’ve heard the stories. A beautiful sleeping girl under a pale moon. Her heart drumming faintly under warm skin. It has been years since I was in a house, in a bed. With someone. I blame that on what I did next.
It is just a touch. A small lick. Well, perhaps not small. But you see, the ring is here too. I didn’t expect for her to wear it. The four opals blink at me like eyes. The tiny glass manticore’s roar fills my ears. And Heinrich. Heinrich’s ring. Again mine. I can’t move. I can’t tear myself away, nor scratch my thoughts out. A memory opens, a wide unblinking eye.
Warm breath fell against my ear. Heinrich’s hands, soft, traced my cheeks, my lips. A shove to the shoulder and a laugh. It was a time before hexes or spells or ambivalent luck. Winters. Summers. We were boys again in the snow. I was pushing my sled up a hill and there he came, bounding over, jumping on, and sailing away. It was so cold I could barely breathe, but at that moment, when I saw his golden-brown hair peek out under his fur hat, his white teeth, I opened my mouth wide and deep, a laugh shooting up and out from my lungs, giving my breath to the white sky where it turned to moisture, then disappeared. I sucked back in remote sun and hard cold, which iced my lungs closed. It wasn’t hard to stare for all of his ease and graces. Heinrich. Boy of the snow. He told me that if I ever left him, his heart would not break. It would not melt. Iron bands, my love, he whispered another night, a warmer night, when the stars hung close, too close, over our heads. We had snuck outside and lay under a maple tree, trying to name constellations through the leaves. A losing game. It would be a caged mound of flesh and blood. He smelled like leather and smoke and grass. Of course, I lied before. I never looked for stars. My eyes always fell to earth. To him. His pinky finger, that golden ring, gently, sought mine out. There was a rustle, and a darker shadow fell over my face, his lips descending from his heavens, down upon mine.
I shoot out my tongue out, meaning to take the ring. It’s a desperate measure. Her thumb ends up encased in my jaws. I taste salt. Not iron. My heart is croaking, breaking.
Her scream punctures the curtains, my ears. Three fingers are all it takes to catch me, but then again, I don’t bother moving. I don’t want to. His ring felt cheap in my mouth, on her thumb. A hand grabs my small body, wrapping around my arms and legs and lungs. My face. There’s no air. I am bursting, and there are stars in my eyes. They finally came. Her fingers lock. Our eyes catch one another. Terror slides over her face. Disgust scales up her eyes. My own are soon covered.
When I breathe again, I am flying, my legs no longer needed to propel me forward. I am like the strong wind in winter, driving ripples over the water in my pond. I am like the spring breeze, bursting through treetops, traveling where I’d like. In the end, I glimpse yellow wallpaper, peeling away from the wall as if it were sour, curdling. Iron Heinrich, they called him after I disappeared. I heard the whispers, the rumors. A boy in grief for his friend. Determined to find me. Iron Heinrich. A boy with an iron-caged heart. I had once called him this.
Iron is my end. I taste it now, in the extended dark.
I had only wanted large, bleached bones again. To see translucent skin over a wrist, blue and purple veins below. To feel eyelashes. To taste. The girl was a means to the end. I had everything right, didn’t I? She named me and pledged our fates with a promise. I pledged with a gift. I waited for nightfall. There was the kiss, of course. A violent letting of blood. But a spell is not broken, only cured. It lingers in the spine, in the irises that circle the pools of black pupils. Love is a hazy moon, a trickster character of light. This I have finally learned, the moral of my own story. Elements can fool—the impure iron always corrodes.

When you serve this dish, have the toast waiting on warmed plates, and call the diners to the table as soon as you have put the liver in the pan – it takes only minutes to cook and tastes best when eaten sizzling hot.
Using a sharp knife or scissors, remove any gall bladders and green-stained sections that are still attached to the livers. Wash the livers well in cold water. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels. Slice the livers into 5-mm-thick slices.
Heat the oil and butter in a medium frying pan on medium heat until the butter is foaming. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft. Remove the onion to a plate with a slotted spoon. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Meanwhile, combine the flour, salt, pepper and paprika and dip the livers into the seasoned flour. Add the bacon or ham fat to the frying pan and heat on medium-high heat. Add the livers and fry them for 1–2 minutes on each side, or until they are a light golden colour. Return the onions to the pan and stir until they are well combined with the livers and heated through.
Drizzle the liver and onions with the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon quickly over the warm toast and serve immediately while piping hot.

Are you looking for a unique gift that will impress everyone? Well, then take a look at this idea!
I have recently opened a new Etsy shop to sell my silhouette shadow boxes, like the Christmas shadow box I made a while ago, so I'm a lot into paper cutting lately. The more I designed new sceneries, the more I thought that it would have been nice to do something similar with a customized photo, especially a portrait. So why not trying with my own pictures?
Choose a photo you like and open it in a photo editor. I'm going to explain you how to edit it using Photoshop.
A new window will open: drag the slider to adjust the amount of black and white you want in your picture.
When you are done, select both layers then right click on one of them and select Convert to Smart Object.
A new window with all of the filters will appear: click on the Palette Knife one in the Artistic folder. Adjust the settings on the right side and when you are satisfied with the result click OK.
Right click on the layer and select Rasterize Layer.
Now that you have a silhouette, use a white brush to erase all of the black spots around the picture that you don't want. You can also "correct" the image using a black brush.
Remember: all of the black parts of the image must be connected to each other! In case you leave some separate parts from the rest of the image, those parts will be cut out.
As you can see, I had to join the upper part of the hat to the one below using a black brush.
Trace a black frame around the whole image selecting the whole photo and clicking on Stroke... in the Edit menu. You can make it as thick as you want, but I recommend it to be thick enough to hold together the whole image and look good on it.
Now you can customize your image if you want! I cropped it a little and added a "You & Me" text.
When you are done and satisfied with the result, save your picture.
In case you are going to cut this picture by hand, you just have to print it on paper and transfer it on your red card stock like I did on step 2 here.
I love hand cutting, but thanks to a previous contest here I won a Silhouette Cameo so I decided to use it for this project. In case you have one too, open your file on Silhouette Studio.
Go to the Design Page Settings Window to choose the size of your page and the cutting mat you want to use. Open the Trace Window, click on Select Trace Area and select the whole image.
Adjust the Value moving the slider to the right until the whole picture turns yellow. Now click on Trace.
Select the original image and delete it so you are left with the outline only. Go to the Rotate Window if you need to rotate your image like I did and move it wherever you want your image to be.
It's time to cut it now! Go to the Cut Settings, select your image and click on Cut Edge. Then select the Material Type (Tool 1) you're going to use. I used a quite thick card stock so I chose "Textured Cardstock". Once you click on it, a new menu will open with the blade settings. I left the speed at 4, changed the blade type into Automatic Blade (choose the blade you have) and adjusted the thickness to 33.
Attach your red card stock to the cutting mat and load it.
Click on Send to Silhouette and let it cut your image! When it's done, carefully remove it from the mat and separate the pieces that are not joined to the rest of the image.
If you don't have a machine, simply cut it by hand using an x-acto knife. Follow the outline of your image and try to be as accurate and careful as possible.
Cut 4 strips of cardboard as long as the sides of your image and as thick as you like. I made mine 1,7 cm thick (0,6''). Make sure they are thick enough to be able to stand still! Your frame will end up being like a thin box.
One side of my strips was blue so I decided to cover them with white paper. This is an optional step, you could also paint them white instead or leave them the way they are, but remember that the inside will be visible.
Apply some glue on the cardboard layer at the end of the strip and attach another strip on it, perpendicularly. Do this with all of the 4 strips until you obtain a rectangle. This rectangle will be as big as your image.
Cut a cardboard rectangle as big as the image and trace the thickness size of the cardboard all around the sides of the cardboard piece (just like you did in the previous step). Cut along the lines leaving the lowest layer of the cardboard intact.
Glue a white sheet of paper or card stock on both sides of the cardboard piece to perfectly cover them.
Finally glue the frame on the cardboard piece. This piece will fit into the frame thanks to the cuts you made at the beginning. If it doesn't, it means that the cuts aren't accurate enough and you must adjust them accordingly.
Glue the frame to the cardboard frame/box.
Cut 4 white card stock strips as long and as thick as the sides of the frame and glue them all around. The reason why I did this is that I didn't want to leave the cardboard look. If you prefer, you can paint the sides instead of covering them.
Your framed portrait is done!
What do you think? Please vote for it in contests if you like it, thanks!
nice work! congrats on your prize in the contest! well deserved! :) your work inspired me to do some of my own :) thank you!

My installations, paintings and performances of monumental dimensions and abundant colors have been my ruse to keep alive the drive of life, the pleasure principle and the ability to play; in a country dominated by violence and fear, my art proposes a safe place for me. I have been interested in materials that connect with my childhood sensations, such as sweets, cotton candy, gelatin, toys and atomized colors in paint.
The process (my destiny) like that of a personal diary marks my attempt to fill a "broken void" and the struggle to fulfill unattainable dreams. Since I was a girl I learned, the fear of saying what I think, to speak low and to knit quietly.
In response to this, I created an “existentialist working mechanics”, where I play with a visual purpose, with the idea of ailure, of being rejected, or of encompassing the unattainable; paradoxically this mechanics generate satisfaction and certainty in the process: Operations such as sticking 110,000 candies one by one, or knitting point to point a pictorial image, or bottling 14 thousand liters of anilines with a funnel, are roads that I choose as a destination that teaches me to accept the difficulties and to deal with human desires and contradictions (comer del arte quiero). My creative process is intuitive and consists on shaping the materials in a fractal growth, like a children's game that tries to fill a space.... Which I always see empty.
In my installations I am interested in materials that are unstable to temperature or light conditions, because these changes are related to internal processes such as emotions. I understand the space (sites, canvas, molds or bodies) as a great void that I fill with my childhood fantasies, flavors, textures, colors and pleasurable sensations. Through this transmutation of the material world into a new form of existence, I not only re-create myself, but the cosmos too.
My paintings were born from the contemplation of the color palette; this abstract image is expanded to infinite dimensions. Fragmented colors are like the letters that my personal diary writes. Therefore the color compositions mean a chronological order, a time line, a calendar.
I do not create art discourses; I believe that art is the experience of the creative process, and the ouvre, the residual sensation of that process embodied in an image. Sensations, which are the main interest of my visual proposal, shift into an abstract dimension in my paintings and a poetic substance in my sculptural work.
Visual artist, performer and psychologist, Lina Sinisterra has a fascination with sensory experience which pervades all her work. She has a keen interest in childhood fantasies and objects from her childhood has inspired her to blend the old and new, creating a connection between past and present. Her work evokes a reaction, communicating something different to each person, but always with a visual and textural surprise.
She was born in Bogota, a psychologist with postgraduate in psychodrama and master degree in visual arts from the University of Chile, works as a visual artist since 1997, professor at the Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano and Nueva Granada School in Bogota. Co-directs the public acts at Velatropa art collective.
Is represented by El Museo Gallery from Bogota, and has participated in several group and solo exhibits in Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, investigating the field of painting, sculpture, public acts and art installations. Has won several awards and prizes among the most important: The call for a public sculpture project for the International Airport in Santiago, Chile 2015; Santa Fe Gallery call for solo shows at Bogota Colombia, 2010, The Fondart 2006 in Chile, the Gunther Biennial Prize on Painting 1997, Chile. With Velatropa as director of visual arts has also won various awards and incentives. And has permanently circulated works in repertory at the National and international theatre scene, participating in festivals, tours and theater seasons.

If you are considering purchasing one of the new 4K Ultra HD 144Hz monitors which has been launched by the likes of Asus and Acer in the last few months, you may want to hang on to a hard earned cash a little while longer. As those that have been able to get their hands on the new $2000 monitors are reporting issues with hitting full resolution at the new 144Hz settings. Making the displays look noticeably worse above 120Hz.
The Kit Guru website reports that “multiple reports have hit the web since ASUS and Acer gave hands on experience with their PG27UQ and X27 4K 144Hz monitors, revealing that the displays seem to look noticeably worse when breaching 120Hz – The current limitation of DisplayPort 1.4”. To provide the extra above this ceiling hardware manufacturers are utilising “4:2:2 chroma subsampling” to deliver the higher resolutions, which unfortunately also creates a softer, blurrier image. WhileMore standard monitors use non-subsampled resolution at RGB 4:4:4.
Redditor Glennwing explains that the use of G-Sync might also be a contributing factor to the limitations. Nvidia’s exclusive hardware forces manufacturers into using its proprietary display controllers, which are often “behind on interface support and very barebones in feature support”. As more information becomes available to the ongoing issues of high resolution 4K 144Hz monitors we will keep you up-to-date as always.

I have spent the last five days working on a booklet that students can use to share the gospel using the movie, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I estimated that I spent over 20 hours on it. I was very excited when I finished it yesterday. It was a labor of love and I really enjoyed doing it. The idea came from one of my co-workers. She started to work on it but did not have the time to follow through with her idea. I was able to pick it up and make it happen.
Into the Wardrobe uses Life@Large to share the gospel. I used images from the movie and tied images and quotes from Lewis to the different themes shared in the Life@Large presentation. I am really pleased with how it turned out.

BizNet OnLine Magazine, Just Shut Up, And Roll It Over!Is Your Cell Provider Going To Roll Over For You?
Just Shut Up, And Roll It Over!
Is Your Cell Provider Going To Roll Over For You?
It seems like someone in the Cellular industry is always coming up with a plan to get you to use their service, vs. the other guy.
Some ideas are total B.S., like the “Pure Digital” marketing gimmick of Sprint. But other ideas not only reflect something of real value, they start a fight among the cell providers to start matching the offer.
I believe that Cingular has a great idea on their hands. They will now let some of their users roll over unused minutes from month to month. So, it is no longer a use it or lose it for their account holders.
At this time the roll over offer is only being given to subscribers that are paying at least $49.99 per month and have a 2-year plan. On the down side Cingular has cut the number of minutes they are giving. For example, their 250-minute plan has been cut to 150.
I have no doubt that things will start to heat up for the other players, as they lose business over this.
I will be surprised if in a short time we do not see similar offers from AT&T, Sprint, Verizion, and the other big players.
If this sounds like something you would like your provider to offer, then talk to your customer service rep. Let them know that if they don’t roll over, they may just lose you!

A business site’s landing page should be able to catch the user’s attention quickly.
Just like how a shopper goes inside a store upon seeing something interesting on the window display, the landing page of a website can nab a user’s attention. Through various ways, users can be enticed into clicking the various links and pages they see.
Surfing the web is exactly like window-shopping. There is no stopping a user from clicking and switching websites until they get weary. While retail stores conduct sales or promos to attract as many customers as they can, those who own a website also apply certain web practices to get as many visits as possible.
Most of the time, the trick is to immediately catch the user’s attention through visual content, but it takes more than an attractive photo to do so.
Time.com reported that social media and multi-screen internet use is partly to blame for our shortened attention span. Humans find it difficult to concentrate when dealing with multiple windows. With this harsh truth, web designers and developers are now devising ways to how to keep a user’s attention.
Images play as huge a part in nabbing a user’s attention as headlines. Social Media Examiner revealed that a post accompanied by an image on Facebook or Twitter is 10 times more likely to receive engagement. They get more likes and retweets, thus attracting interaction with other users.
Extravagant visuals attract some users. Still, there is a significant market that looks for aesthetically pleasing platforms. Many apps and website write high-quality content based on trusted sources. They also use high-quality images or videos that immediately tell the story of the article it leads to. These curatorial efforts somehow give the users an idea of what the article is about without the need to read the entire post. It perfectly captures short attention spans while still bringing value.
There are certain kinds of graphics that immediately draw people in. Using cleverly designed elements and interfaces instantly engage communication between the content and the reader.
Gone are the days when readers would be drawn to Flash headers or twinkling texts. Some of the current web design trends are parallax websites and the use of big typography in place of a large photo header or background image. The latter puts all the emphasis on the headline.
All of these strategies bring about visually appealing design. They help make the content become persuasive yet accessible. They provide information and at the same time give value to the reader. When a reader feels smarter, empowered, and more knowledgeable, they gain a feeling of relatability and ease. That is when a user’s attention is captured, held, and kept for a continuing and future relationship.

Tells the story of the first London Blitz - six raids by German bombers in eight nights in 1917. This title focuses on the events of August 1918 and the countdown to the incendiary raids that would have destroyed much of London and Paris had they not been called off at the very last minute.
'Fighting was raging on the other side of the Channel, but in London, in the warmth of a drowsy late-September afternoon, the war seemed a long way away. The roads were strangely quiet and deserted, for petrol restrictions had reduced motor traffic almost to zero. London seemed breathless, in the tense expectancy of disaster. The alarm was given soon after nightfall. At Biggin Hill and a score of other airfields, pilots scrambled from their quarters and sprinted for their aircraft. Within seconds the air was full of the noise of engines, as the squadrons taxied out and took off into the ever-darkening sky'."The First Blitz" is told in two parts, each detailing the events of a single week. The first part tells the story of the first London Blitz - six raids by German bombers in eight nights in 1917. Part two focuses on the events of August 1918 and the countdown to the incendiary raids that would have destroyed much of London and Paris had they not been called off at the very last minute.

Rural baroque and south bohemian village belong together. You can never find so many quaint and charmingly decorated gables on one place of rural homesteads as in South Bohemia. For its gables, richly decorated ornaments and stucco, the rural baroque became a unique architectonic phenomenon. The area with an abundancy of rural baroque architecture evidence is Blata.
Homestead Malé Chrášťany no.4 was rebuilt in the style of baroque in 1850. We in fact know the author, whose name is Šebastian Brenner, the master of Plástovice area. The homestead Malé Chrášťany no.5 was rebuilt in 1856 by the same author and his bricklayer party. During our reconstruction, we discovered the remains of the original wooden logs under the plastering. The chronicles do in fact confirm that in the first half of 19th century, there was a vast rebuilding of the village and contemporary homesteads are based on the older foundations of the middle age log houses. One of the first written references about Malé Chrášťany goes far back as the year 1273. Other written references about the homesteads no.4 and no.5 are in the Josef land registry from the year 1785. Only 100 metres from the village, a path named Formanická cesta originally led in the direction Linec – Prague, before it was destroyed by a the construction of a railway. The oldest settlement of the village is confirmed by archaeological findings (shards and fragments of ceramic) from the period of 0 – 400 A.D. in the place following on the prehistorical settlement. The location of the prehistoric settlement was found in 1999 roughly 300 metres west from the homestead no.4 – thus our Wellness Hotel Boží Oko.
The stylized stucco God´s Eye symbol can be found on the frontal gables of homesteads. But only in one of the homesteads can you find a unique hotel with even more unique interior. The owner of the hotel gave it its name right after the stucco symbol mentioned earlier. The symbol itself dominates the top of the gable in the residential part and granary of both homesteads. The God´s eye is placed in the middle of the triangle with flames in the corners; it signifies the triple singularity of God. The God´s eye protects the health, wealth and harvest of a farmer as well as protecting the inhabitants of the homestead against evil people and adversity of faith.
The gable of the homestead no.4 has a significant cultural and historical value. It is decorated with sacral stucco elements and considering its rich decoration, it is very probable that the wealthiest farmer of the village used to dwell in here. You can see a stucco chronograph 1850 (marking the date of finishing the reconstruction of the residential part of the house), separating strip with horseshoe motive, flaming heart – the symbol of undying faith, spiral motive on the end of stylised palm (blooming palm seed representing the periodic cycle of birth and death in the nature), a bishops staff – resembling a shepherds cane, monstrance in the shape of fish ended by a cross (fish being a Christian symbol – in the Greek language ICHTHYS is a hidden anagram of letters: I – Jesus CH – Christ Th – Godly Y – Son S – Saviour) – it represents the rebirth and eternal life of Jesus Christ.
The gable of homestead no.5 decorates the God´s eye and bishops staff at its top. Further, you can see a stucco chronograph 1856 (the date of the reconstruction completion). Above the ledge lies a border of the Christian fish standing on their tail. Below the ledge you can see a dividing stripe made of horseshoes – resembling the farming use of the homestead. Motives of flowers then add to the decoration of the gable. This gable also bears a significant cultural and historical value. In the hallway of the residential part of homestead no.5 there is a stucco rose placed on the arched ceiling which is monumentally protected.
Both homesteads no.4 and no.5 belong to the monumental reserve of folk architecture Malé Chrášťany and are protected by the state immovable cultural heritage since 1995.

In the 1930s, Kanha area was divided into two sanctuaries, Hallon and Banjar, of 250 and 300 km² . Kanha National Park was created on 1 June 1955. Today it stretches over an area of 940 km² in the two districts Mandla and Balaghat. Together with a surrounding buffer zone of 1,067 km² and the neighboring 110 km² Phen Sanctuary it forms the Kanha Tiger Reserve."Kanha Tiger Reserve". Madhya Pradesh Forest Department. Retrieved 14 April 2010. This makes it the largest National Park in Central India. A sprawling forest with varied hybrids and rich wild life is a worthwhile spot that offer a panoramic picture of enchanting marvels. Monsoon with its rainy showers brings a rejuvenating freshness to the deep woods and the lush meadows. Another imposing site in the near by vicinity of Kanha is Shravantal dam. Though it looks pretty old, the winter season presents breath taking sceneries of gorgeous waterfalls. Archaeological monuments in Baihar would be a rare feast to archaeological buffs that hardly takes half an hour journey from Kanha. Remnants of ancient temples and ramparts of old structures would be impressive sceneries to the onlooker.
The Kanha National Park was originally a part of the Gondwanas or the "land of the Gonds". The forest of the Kanha Tiger Reserve was inhibited by two indigenous tribes of Central India, the Gonds and the Baigas. The vicinity of the reserve is still occupied with the villagers of these tribes.
1800- Before 19th century, the area was being ruled by the Gond dynasty since many centuries and the Kanha Forest was little known since the slash and burn cultivation methods of both the Baiga and Gond tribes were being dominated at that area. They had good knowledge of the animals and their behaviors.
1862- It marks an important year during 19th century in the history of the Kanha National Park when the first forest management rules were instituted and cutting of various tree species like Sal, Teak, Saja, Shisham and Bija without official authorization were prohibited.
1857-1871 This period has a remarkable importance as the Kanha reserve area is best known to come into existence when Captain J. Forsyth wrote a classic "The Highlands of Central India". This book (published in 1913) is a highly readable combination of ethnography, forest survey and personal memoir (with dashes of shikar diary thrown in for good measure). Captain J. Forsyth, an officer in the Bengal Staff Corps discovered Panchmarhi hill located in Satpura National Park in Central India.
1879- The Kanha Area was declared as a reserve forest.
1880- The year 1880 which was called the British era, made this region of Madhya Pradesh more valuable when the central provinces was made the center stage of Rudyard Kipling's imaginations for "The Jungle Book" stories. The tremendous landscapes in the forest of Kanha and Pench are really magnanimous.
1923- The year when a landmark classic book published, entitled "Wild Animals in Central India" that completely focused on the Kanha region's wildlife. The book was written by A. A. Dunbar Brander, a government official and a keenly observant amateur naturalist.
1933- The year when the Kanha forest area was declared as sanctuary.
1935- The same status was concurred in the eastern sector to Supkhar in year 1935, but within few years the protection for wildlife in this area came to an end due to damages caused by the animals to the field crops, Sal saplings and livestock. Over the next 20 years, shooting of deer and tiger was periodically allowed.
1947-51 The king of Vijaynagaram shot 30 tigers in the Kanha Forest Reserve.
1955-75 This period highlighted and introduced the new national park to the forefront in wildlife research and conservation efforts.
1963-65 When the American scientist George Schaller carried out initiating and detailed research on the Kanha ecosystem.
1967- His research was published as an influential book in 1967 with the title "The Deer and the Tiger".
1969- In the early 1969, the park management began to relocate villages within the core area like Sonf, Bishanpura and Gorhela and a good management between the reserve and the neighborhood area has been the key factor of its success in the conservation efforts.
1970- In 1970 successful attempts were made to save the hard ground Barasingha, "the jewel of Kanha" from extinction. A special enclosure was made inside the forest to encourage the breeding and to protect them from wild beasts. Further, the rate of the Barasingha species took a hop from 66 to 400-500 range.
1980- The Kanha Park became the perfect location for Stanley Breeden and Belinda Wright's award winning National Geographic Film, "Land of the Tigers". The same year followed both Kanha and Ranthambore (in Rajasthan) parks to witness the successful attempt of the first phase of Project Tiger and the annual visitor-ship to both the parks dramatically increased.
1989-91 From 1989 to 1991, an intensive collaboration at Kanha Park between the Centre for Environmental Education in Ahmadabad and the United States National Park Service (under the auspices of the Indo-U.S. Sub-commission on Science and Technology) resulted in the installation of a multi-faceted informational program at Kanha, consisting of a park museum at Kisli, two orientation centers and a variety of publications.
1991- The early 90s was devoted to enhance the features of the Kanha Tiger Reserve including the park's biodiversity, expansion of tourists' infrastructure and the reserve's enviable record for research, monitoring and security. According to many observers, Kanha is undoubtedly the premier national park in India and one of the finest wildlife reserves in the world.

Cannabinoids are a group of fat soluble molecules that are produced naturally in all humans and almost all animals, except insects. Cannabinoids are found in a variety of plants, with the hemp plant being the most prolific. The first ever cannabinoid was discovered in 1895, when scientist Thomas Wood was able to isolate and identify this from the hemp plant. It wasn’t until 1964 that researchers began to understand more about the nature of cannabinoids and identified the psychoactive cannabinoid, THC. In the mid-1990s, researchers identified the body’s own endocannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system (ECS). This is a cannabinoid receptor system that helps regulate homeostasis in the human body.
The most well-known cannabinoid produced by the human body is anandamide. Cannabinoids regulate intracellular communication and modulate/coordinates homeostasis in systems such as the central nervous, cardiovascular, immune, endocrine, respiratory, reproductive and musculoskeletal systems. The ECS is thus one of the body’s largest signal systems. There are currently two identified types of cannabinoid receptors, CB1 receptors (found mostly in the brain but also cardiovascular system), and CB2 receptors (found mostly in the immune system and central nervous system). This is being expanded with a new type called CB3 receptors.
The hemp plant has the most unique and varied range of cannabinoids. Today there are around 130 cannabinoids identified in the hemp plant. These include THCA, CBG, CBN and CBA.

Nothing prevents you from reaching your personal best more than the lack of pursuit for personal growth. You can’t plan a life that isn’t moving forward. A lot of times we plan only the now; what’s coming at us. This is not enough and begets the reason we should plan. We need to spend time every day in the pursuit of bettering ourselves, stepping off the cyclical patterns that slowly destroy our lives and begin to start changing ourselves for the better.
But guess what? God doesn’t work that way. God wants it all and won’t work on our behalf unless we trust and believe Him, releasing all control.
So what does this mean in real world terms? It means we don’t worry. We don’t stress. We don’t spend endless hours finding out how we’re going to solve all of our problems.
We’re going to let go and let God.
Begin to believe that God is who He says He is. Spend an hour everyday understanding who you are in Christ and all that is yours in those scriptures. It’s a pursuit that must not be neglected–it’s life or death.
Declare that today you will let go and let God and share in the comments what you are using your faith for and how God has moved in your life!

Animals face stress and emotional trauma just like we do and Reiki can be just as helpful for them. Not all animals accept energy healing (the first time they feel the energy it usually freaks them out a bit) but when they do it provides them with the same benefits as it does for humans. In many ways, energy healing can be more helpful for animals than for humans. Frequently the degree of healing a human gets from an energetic healing session is mitigated by rational or logical thought. We tend to obsess or worry over situations and relationships and overthinking things can impede progress as far as keeping those energy paths clear. But animals don’t use logic. They just act/react to a situation and then move on. They also tend to be more sensitive to energies in general and most accept energy healing without any issues, though it does usually take some time for them to get used to it.
Reiki is a Japanese word combination that roughly translates to “Universal Energy”. Reiki used in the context of a healing modality refers to a practitioner utilizing this energy to identify areas where the energy in a clients subtle bodies (the emotional and energetic bodies that surround our physical bodies) is sluggish or blocked. Once those areas are identified, the practitioner uses the Reiki energy to clear any blockages and restore a balanced flow. I have been dealing with energies for over 10 years and completed Reiki training, earning my Master’s Level certificate, in early 2013. I incorporate Reiki as needed into the energetic healing sessions I perform as part of my practice. I also work with the energies from crystals and singing bowls and use crystal, sound, and aroma therapies to enhance energetic healing sessions as needed. Shortly after completing Reiki training, I came to the conclusion that working in a corporate environment was taking too much of a toll on my health and sanity so I decided to quit my engineering job after nearly 30 years and put my training and skills to use helping others with energetic healing. This also gives me the time to move my line of herbal bath and body products forward and I’ve already begun adding new products. In addition to offering energetic healing sessions, I work with the energy of sacred geometry and color to create grids based on the Mayan Light Language. These grids can be quite powerful and are an excellent support system for any positive change we want to make in our lives. In addition I generate natal charts (birth charts) and comprehensive astrological reports based on those charts.

Latest Sony PlayStation 3 Firmware Blocks PSJailbreak?
Never mind court injunctions that block sales of a hardware-based PS3 hack designed to let users play pirated games, Sony may already be running interference at the source.
The latest firmware update for the PS3 reportedly knocks the infamous PSJailbreak out of commission, or so users claim. That hack, which uses a USB dongle to "trick" the PS3, allows users to play pirated as well as homemade games on the system. Its creators had also claimed it was capable of shrugging off Sony's "mandatory" firmware updates. Though the new firmware update isn't technically mandatory--you have to manually accept and install it--ignoring it cripples your ability to access Sony's PlayStation Network.
The update, which went live yesterday, was barely mentioned on Sony's PlayStation blog.
"Hi everyone! A minor update to your PS3 system is now available via system software update v3.42 that includes additional security features," wrote Sony director of hardware marketing John Koller. And that's about it.
What's it actually for? Sony's isn't saying. Code that blocks PSJailbreak? That recognizes the device and bricks your system? That, and perhaps only that? No one's certain, but reactions in the comments section of Sony's PlayStation blog were predictably ambivalent.
"Thanks but no thanks, Sony," wrote one user, adding "I perfer [sic] Custom Firmware/Jailbreak."
"Great update...[w]e all know why people were wishing this update wouldn't happen, and homebrew isn't it," countered another. "Homebrew clearly isnt [sic] all that useful if the most wanted psp features still arent [sic] available via homebrew."
The preliminary hundred-plus comments were mixed, with several simply decrying the need for more frequent system updates.
"You're going to lose customers this way," wrote an obviously frustrated user. "This better not turn into the PSP with 5 updates only being for homebrew protection. You will never get ahead of the homebrew community. It's been proven with everything."
Another bemoaned the apparent pointlessness of the update: "Come on...useless updates are really annoying, you could at least give us people who dont [sic] mess with our consoles something good in the update."
"[T]he jailbreak is not gone, geniuses...people who don't update can still use it," wrote a third user, convinced the update missed the point. "[B]tw, that hack hasn't been used in online games so stop blaming them...blame your crappy noobish skills."
At least one person claimed the update "fixed" the PS3's internet browser, noting the "font now seems bold and easier to read while browsing."
The problem with verifying? I don't use the PS3's browser enough to say, and Sony isn't talking.
And wherever you stand on the legitimacy of something like PSJailbreak, it really ought to be.

John 10:22-42 Works Speak Truer than Words.
Jesus didn’t ask people to believe only because He said it. He followed words up with works. His works were the evidence that His words were true. If even Jesus, the Son of God didn’t ask people to rely on His words, how much less should we expect people to count on ours?
To someone sincerely seeking the answer to whether Jesus is the Christ, the answer was plainly there in front of them. But these people weren’t looking for the truth. They were looking for Jesus to incriminate Himself. They weren’t going to believe His words, no matter what He said. So Jesus told them to look at his deeds rather than His words.
Jesus knew He had never said anything that could bring Him condemnation. He knew that every single thing He had said and done had been because the Father had willed it. Jesus was surrounded by men ready to kill Him and He had complete calm and faith. He asked them which of the wonderful good Godly works He had done was the offense that would get Him the death penalty.
Verse 33 records their answer.
The Jews had already conceded that Jesus must at least be a prophet. His works proved that. But now they let pride and anger darken their minds and couldn’t hear the truth, no matter how plainly stated and clearly demonstrated. So once again, they tried to arrest Jesus, but Jesus somehow escaped them.
Jesus left the temple and the people who had already made up their stubborn minds about Him to go to the countryside where people were more interested in following God than law. They believed Jesus. They heard John’s witness, Jesus testimony, and saw Jesus life and they believed.
Are you expecting people to believe your words without the works to back them up? Are you struggling and arguing with those who have already decided never to believe? Follow Jesus example, let your actions speak to the truth of your words. Leave the temple and the people who can’t admit their need of redemption. Go to the wilderness and extend the gift of salvation to those who will realize they need it.
