Thank you father bless each one of us I I give all our wonderful time in your hand a lot Jesus father Help us leaders and guidance in Jesus. We precious name. I pray amen Okay, good morning everyone and thank you for connecting to this course on holiness We are in our last section where we are talking about overcoming how we Practically overcome And then talking about this overcome sin and so on In talking about this we are highlighting two important Sources that God has given to us one is his word and second The work of his Holy Spirit God Holy Spirit is there to help us and so we Are talking about walking in the spirit because God has said in in your testament he said walk in the spirit and You will not fulfill the last of the flesh So he's given that as our answer Walk in the spirit You will not fulfill the last of the flesh. So our flesh, which is our natural body Has It can then have good desires. I can have bad desires You know, it has normal desires which you sleep your rest you all of those things you eat and all those things are there There's a normal desires, but then it can have bad desires and we saw in Galatians 5 the works of the flesh that is the sinful flesh and God has said you walk in the spirit You be led by the spirit You live in the spirit You will not fulfill the last of the flesh So God has given us he's given every believer the means How to overcome the flesh whatever the flesh is whatever the deeds of the flesh, you know, whether it's jealousy hatred Anger or any other sinful anything else everything Walk in the spirit You will not fulfill the last of the flesh so The Holy Spirit helps us put to death The deeds of our body. So we've read these parallel passages Romans chapter 8 Galatians chapter 5 and Ephesians chapter 5 we read it last week and I'm not taking the time to read those passages again, but it's those passages we are delving in He said the Holy Spirit helps us Mortify put to death the deeds of our body So Romans the 8th chapter the 13th verse The Apostle Paul said In a few Walk after the flesh you will die But if you buy the spirit put to death the deeds of your body, you will live If you buy the spirit Put to death the deeds of your body the sinful deeds of the body you will live Or Galatians 5 and verse 24 again. We saw this last week. I'm just quickly reviewing Galatians 5 24 Which the which we saw Paul wrote he said day that our Christ Have crucified the flesh with its affections and desires so The flesh it has its affections and desires Sometimes these affections desires are ungodly. They're not they're not Holy because a flesh desires against the spirit and the spirit desires against the disease opposite But they were Christ how crucified the flesh with its affections and desires so with the help of the Holy Spirit be put to an end to these things and We said last week one of the ways in which we do this one of the main ways is to prayer is through prayer Because Romans the 8th chapter again going back to that same chapter Romans chapter 8 in verse 26 and 27 Romans 8 26 27 the Apostle Paul wrote he said the spirit himself Helps us in our weaknesses So, yeah, there are weaknesses things that we are not deface The spirit helps us in our weaknesses For we do not know what to pray for as we ought But the spirit himself Makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered So what we said is The spirit helps us to help means to gather with us Not independent of us, but together with us he helps us It's not like I don't do anything and Holy Spirit will fight the battle for me. No He helps me So I have to fight but he helps me So the hell Holy Spirit helps us in our weaknesses how We don't know what to pray for So when we are faced with our weakness We don't know how how to pray for this. How do I pray? What am I supposed to pray? We don't know But that's where he helps make intercession So the intercession is not independent of us, but it's with us because that's the original Subject of the worst he helps us how by helping us make intercession praying with us Helping us pray with groanings which cannot be uttered. So that means It's these expressions that come not from an intellectual thing that which I can utter on my own No, it's what comes from the Holy Spirit So we were talking how important prayer is As part of this process of crucifying the flesh with its affections and desires So prayer is key To ask in the Holy Spirit to help us overcome our weaknesses and what we said last week was Sometimes a prayer is very simple prayer very easy prayer the Holy Spirit. I'm feeling this. Please help me Okay, you know work is done. Holy Spirit comes helps you overcome but sometimes The prayer is much longer, right? We have to pray we have to engage in prayer For hours for days for a season in our life Till we overcome So it's not a set formula. I cannot say you pray for one minute. It'll Yep, your weakness will go away. I cannot say that All we can say is Holy Spirit will help us As we pray to overcome our weaknesses so That's the first thing Second thing that we started talking about was being filled with the Spirit This is from Ephesians chapter 5 verse 18 through 21 so based on the context and based on the Picture that Apostle Paul is using he's talking about Somebody who is drunk with wine And he's you know, he's just using that as an illustration as a picture of somebody who's filled with the Spirit So our focus must be on the good side, but we get some idea from the example He says, you know, don't be drunk with one but be filled with the Spirit in other words You know a person was drunk He's controlled by the wrong thing But we must be under the influence of the right thing, right? Which is he must be under the influence of the Holy Spirit. That's So to walk Overcoming the flesh We must walk in the Spirit. We must be filled with the Spirit All the time we must live in the Spirit that is living filled with the Spirit So we want to understand that how can I tell That I'm actually filled with the Spirit, you know, I'm living in the Spirit Paul gives us in Ephesians 5 18 through 21 He gives us the expressions of a person who is walking filled with the Spirit Just like when a person is drunk Intoxicated There are certain things you look at and you can tell that person is drunk Right. He may not be steady in his walk He'd be uttering all the wrong things and whatever, you know You see and you can tell that person is drunk in like manner You see a believer and you can tell this believer is walking in the Spirit Or he is walking filled with the Spirit How can you tell? Well He gives us that in verses 19 to 21 of Ephesians 5 So that's what we want to look at today How could you tell? How can we tell that, you know, how can I tell I'm actually walking in the Spirit? I'm walking filled with the Spirit I'm walking under the influence of the Holy Spirit That means my Spirit is under his influence, under his leadership This is the life, Spirit-filled life, which will help me overcome the flesh, the world and the devil So he says, verse 19 of Ephesians 5 We read this passage last week, so I'm just continuing with that He says, speak to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord So first there is this song There's this song to the Lord You're always singing You know, I will be in this place of where I am Singing and making melody in my heart to the Lord And I'm speaking, edifying to one another So first one, speaking to one another That's the way I'm speaking In psalms, hymns and spiritual songs Now obviously I can't be singing to you and me, it's not the point But the point is I'm speaking words that are under inspiration I'm speaking things that are edifying So psalms, hymns, spiritual songs And speaking to one another are meant for edifying, encouraging And inspiring one another So speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs Secondly, in that same verse 19 Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord That means your heart is in a constant place of communion with God Now, it doesn't mean you have to sing like, you know, like a professional Or somebody who's very good at singing, that's not the point The point is my heart is always worshipping, thanking God So verse 19 has two parts to it One is to one another and one is to the Lord So if I'm walking in the spirit If I'm filled with the spirit It affects how I commune with others, communicate with others And how I communicate with God So when I'm communicating with others I'm bringing forth things that are edifying, encouraging, inspiring And when I'm speaking and I'm in communion with God I'm singing and making melody in my heart to the Lord I'm this heart of worship And then it continues in verse 20 Giving thanks always for all things to God, the Father In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ So I'm always thankful to God This is a place of thankfulness to God Place of thankfulness to God Third thing Always thanking God for everything That means God, thank you You find things to be thankful for There's a heart of thanksgiving all the time to God And verse 21, fourth thing You're walking in, submitting to one another in the fear of God You're walking in humility and submission and reverence to God So, verse 19, 20, 21 Two times, he talks about to God or to the Lord Two times, he talks about to one another To one another, verse 19 Speaking to one another in Psalms, hymns, spiritual songs Verse 21, submitting to one another Out of reverence for God So, walking in the spirit, being filled with the spirit It is expressed in how I relate to other people How I speak to one another And how I submit to one another In these four verses, he also talks about to the Lord and to God Verse 19, singing and making melody In your heart to the Lord Verse 20, giving thanks always for all things to God So, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord Giving thanks always for all things to God So, think about this How can you tell you're filled with the Holy Spirit? How can you tell you're walking in the spirit? How can you tell you're spirit filled? He gives us four checkpoints Two has to do with one another Two has to do with to God To one another, what does he say? Speak to one another, submit to one another To God, he says sing and make melody, give thanks always Very simple, isn't it?  Have you submit to one another? Have you sing and make melody in your heart to God? How do you always thankful to God in everything?  What would we say? Would we say you have to speak in tongues? Well, speaking in tongues is good is important And that's what happened on the day of Pentecost When you're baptized with the Holy Spirit, you're also filled with the spirit And of course you speak in tongues And speaking in tongues is one way through which we sing and make melody in our hearts to the Lord And through which we're able to communicate with God So it is part of that spirit for life Because when he says, you know, sing and make melody in your heart to the Lord You can do that in tongues Just sing in tongues and make melody in your heart to the Lord You can give thanks We cannot isolate it and say it has to do with speaking in tongues alone That's the wrong idea of being filled with the spirit The four characteristics are given here In Ephesians chapter 5 verses 18 to 21 These are the four And the fifth one is from Galatians chapter 5 It has to do with how we relate to people And communicate with God And what is expressed through our lives Right? And I see they be as common It's ongoing communion with the Lord And they are flowing that to people around us That's right So this is how we can tell That I'm walking in the spirit That I'm filled with the spirit So the moment The moment So let's make this practical So in our daily lives Try to maintain this Try to keep this singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord Something spontaneous Right? Now, I'm not a singer personally I can't sing like, you know, the worship leaders and all that But when I'm by myself I can sing a song to the Lord Meaning I'm not worried about the tune I can't carry a tune I'm not worried about, you know, whether this is perfect song Because it's not about anybody else listening to me It's about me singing and making melody in my heart to the Lord Right? So I can do that It could be a song that I know It could be just some words I want to sing Or I could even just sing in tongues Secondly, I can practice giving thanks always to God God, I am thankful God, I am thankful That means you're recognizing things to be thankful about Life is not, you know, things around us is not going to be perfect But in the midst of all of that We still find things to be thankful for But that's an expression of you being filled with the Holy Spirit You do it intentionally And then when we're relating to people You always try to do this To speak things that are edifying Songs, hymns, spiritual songs I mean, you're not singing to them But you're doing things to edify You're doing things to inspire You're doing things to bless And submit to one another That means you're not here to force people To dominate people To control people That's not it You're walking into humility before people Out of reverence for God Now, if you're in leadership Like for example, me, you know I'm leadership, so I need to lead the people You know, the whole team of people Are working here in church As well as congregations and so on And so sometimes I may have to have some Very difficult conversations with people You know, if somebody is not doing their work I don't keep quiet and just pretend Everything is okay or you know I just have to ask them, hey Are you doing your work? What's going on? Out of the work is not up to the mark I have to tell them, you know This is not good This has to be done differently So those are tough conversations to have I'm speaking But it may not be very identifying in the sense They won't feel happy But the thing is I can't close my eyes And pretend that things are okay When it's not okay So I have to address it But I do it Out of a sincere heart I do it out of reverence for God Because God has put us in stewards Of these things, right So I'm doing it out of reverence for God Because God is going to ask me God is going to ask that person What did you do with what we've given you? Right? So I have to do it out of reverence for God And at the same time I do it Not to destroy the person But for the common good For the glory of God And for the benefit of people So I hold people accountable I have to, you know I have conversations I'm going to say look What's happening All of that But everything is done How? Submit to one another I'm doing it out of humility For the reverence for God And with the intent To help that person become better So that the output can be better And when the output is better People are going to be served well I do difficult things But Under the influence of the Holy Spirit Okay So this is how we can tell Now, the second part of it Is if we get out of this place Of being under the influence Of the Holy Spirit What we do, we should immediately recognize You know, the way I spoke To that person was not identifying Holy Spirit I'm sorry I'm identifying I apologize to the person Then I bring myself back In submission to the Holy Spirit Or Lord You know, I may not be You know In that place where I'm singing and making melody In my heart, bring yourself back Start singing to the Lord Be in that place where you're Giving glory to God Or If you feel like I haven't been thankful to the Come back Let's be thankful to the Lord So everything So you're constantly watching over yourself And you're bringing yourself back Into this place of being In submission To God Being in that place where you're walking In the Spirit Okay, all right, Subhijit Do you have a question? Let's take it Your question, Subhijit Maybe it's a mistake Subhijit, do you have a question? All right, maybe he'll come later Okay So Anybody else have any questions so far?  So now we are going to Subhijit, do you have a question? So we've covered These two Important aspects One is Using the Word of God Walking in the Spirit These are two important things In overcoming the flesh The world, the devil So now what we're going to do is We're going to get into each one of these three things The flesh We want to understand some details How does the flesh How does it Work So that we Can deal with things Of the flesh Then the world How does the world pull on us And then the devil, how does he Do his work and try to pull us down And then the answer is always the same You've got to use the Word of God You've got to walk in the Spirit To overcome the flesh You've got to use the Word of God Walk in the Spirit To overcome the world We have to use the Word of God Walk in the Spirit So the answer is the same But we want to talk about how to Practically do this So we're going into the next chapter I'm going to go ahead and share my screen All right So this is chapter 5 Overcoming the flesh Now what must we understand We must understand How Temptations come Through the flesh Right So for that One of the best passages to go to Is James chapter 1 Versus 13 to 16 So somebody read this For us please James 1 13 to 16 please James chapter 1 was 13 to 16 Let no one say when he is tempted I'm tempted by God For God cannot be tempted by evil Nor does he himself Tempt anyone But each one is tempted When he is drawn away By his own desires And enticed Then when desire has conceived It gives birth to sin And sin when it is full grown Brings forth death Did not be deceived My beloved brethren So think about this What James is saying is When somebody is tempted Of course here the word Tempt or temptation has to do With inducements to sin To do something wrong That is evil, sinful Not pleasing to God So he says look When you are facing temptation Don't say God is tempting me It is not God who is saying I'm giving you this opportunity To do this wrong thing No, no, that's deception So if somebody thinks That God is giving me the opportunity To do this evil thing That is what?  Let's say you have a need Financially Say you have a need for Example 100,000 rupees And there's an opportunity before you Where Somebody You can get that 100,000 rupees But The way it is coming Is wrong It is dishonest It may be coming You know, in some guys Of God leaders Never try to justify it By saying God is providing No If it is dishonest If it is an unethical Means God is not in it But you say Well, I have a need for 100,000 100,000 exactly is coming Still It's not God So this is sometimes We tend to go wrong But this is where we get deceived Either we deceive ourselves Or the devil deceives us I remember A long time ago This was many years ago I think it was back in 2008 Here in Bangalore And again, please excuse me If I repeat some stories I don't know Which class I said which story So So We were here in Bangalore There was a time when A lot of us churches got together I think it was about 3035 churches Got together to do certain things Churches in our In our state And so We had formed a common Entity and organization And different churches were Supposed to contribute money To it That money will be used for certain things So at some stage Maybe the next year, the year after The work actually The work that was being done By the organization actually came down But at one point We as a church We had all people's church We had contributed 100,000 rupees Towards this Common Organization entity And that amount was not used So similarly other churches May have contributed some amounts Whatever But then because That money was not used The The people in charge They said okay we're going to return the money Because it was not used So I remember the man from that organization Was working He called me He said you know All people's church has contributed 100,000 And we are going to return 100,000 And his next question really shocked me His next question was Do you want to check in your name I was actually Shocked That is a question That should not even be asked You know why Because that money didn't come From my personal account It came from the church The church contributed 100,000 To the Common entity And therefore if the money is going To be returned there is no question to whom It should be returned To the church And for that man to even ask me And you know Do you want to check in your name It's like whoa You know for me it was like First of all The answer was very simple no The money came from the church It should be in the name of the church But it shocked me because What if others were taking the money Back in their name You know meaning other pastors That would be just Wrong To do that Now I didn't go and check And see you know Because I wasn't responsible for the accounts And so on But in my case in this particular case I just said yeah it has to go back To the church please put the church In the name of the church No more questions But I'm just giving that as an example Where if there was a pastor Who had a personal need For 100,000 He could have said Whoa this is God providing me 100,000 Or the devil could have Convinced him hey See how God Worked it out for you 100,000 is coming to you But actually it is wrong Why Because God Does not Anybody to do evil Right God doesn't do that So you have to be very clear But how does temptation come So James explains this He says Each one is tempted When he's drawn away by his own Desires and entices So his own desires So you know When we feel Temptation First things understand It has to do with my own Desires So where I need to fight The battle Is with my own desires Now The devil of course May do things To stir up my own Desire So the devil can do that He can you know Put wrong thoughts Ideas, imaginations Or he can There could be things of the world That are pulling on my Desires but where is the battle The battle is with my own desires They can be outside Source That stir up my desires It could be something in the world Or it could be something the devil Is doing But the battle is with my own desires That's right Each one is tempted By his own desires And enticed Enticed means trapped Or drawn into a trap And then when we give Into that desire Then that is when sin happens So think about this To have wrong Desires Is not sin That means you're facing The pressure of your wrong desire That itself is not sin But Giving in to the wrong desire That is sin The wrong desire We'll all face it Because we're still in the flesh We're still living in this body And we're living in this world The world has all its advertising going on And it'll try to You know Play on our desires Or the devil is around He will try to stir up these desires So Feeling your own wrong desires Is not sin yet Giving in to the wrong desire Results in sin And if continue in sin That it just controls us That it's fully grown It'll result in death It'll bring forth something that's very destructive In our lives So We're going to stop here The point is this What happens When our own desires Are Stirred up And so this is the real battle The battle is with our own desires That's why I remember Galatians 5-24 Those who are Christ Are crucified the flesh With Its affections and Desires This is what they have dealt with With their crucified Affections and desires We'll continue this On Wednesday Any questions so far? Okay Talking about wrong desires I also better ask a question Talking about wrong desires Doesn't Jesus say that those who harbor wrong feelings Is as good as doing the sin Okay So We need to differentiate between Feeling The wrong desire And fantasizing Or feeding the wrong desire These are two different things So Example, okay I'm just using an example for men Alright You're walking down the street or wherever And you see a beautiful lady And you say, wow She's beautiful She's good looking You recognize That person's good looking, whatever And you appreciate You pause there You haven't sinned You haven't done anything wrong Right? You may even feel attracted To that person In the sense you're attracted to the good looks Wow You feel attracted You haven't sinned Why? It's your body responding Your natural responding Recognizing somebody is good You feel attracted You haven't sinned But If you feed that Attraction And you let it become something else Okay If it goes into Lusting after that person Or fantasizing Of that person You're feeding into that That's when It becomes sin So you can state it like this Wrong thoughts Coming into your mind Is not sin But thinking wrong Is sin Right? Having evil thoughts come to your mind That moment when the devil is Trying to strike something That's not sin, you haven't sinned But if you accept that thought And you start thinking on it Engaging in it willfully That's when you sin So we have to differentiate Between feeling wrong desire And feeding wrong desire I hope I explain that Okay Next one When we pray for somebody And we don't know what to pray And we ask Holy Spirit to lead us Sometimes we don't speak anything But there will be groaning And we cry Is it the work of the Holy Spirit in us Or is it our sad emotion How will we understand Okay So Let's put it like this So Chaias says When you're praying for somebody You may not say anything But you feel the emotion You feel sad, you cry And so on Is that the Holy Spirit or is it just the emotion? This way, first of all Give in to that feeling Right Because we are people Created with emotion And Our emotions Are a way for us to express So You feel sad for somebody And you feel crying with that person You grieve with that person Give in to it Don't hold back Right It's you expressing Compassion And support And togetherness with that person Through what they're going through So give in to it Don't worry, oh is this the Holy Spirit or not God gave us emotions And it's part of who we are And let it flow Let it flow Let it just express Compassion Support Now There will be times When the Holy Spirit Is flowing through That emotion There will be times And so That expression Of emotion Becomes a conduit Or a channel Of the Holy Spirit's work Into that person's life So just as we can Express laughter and joy Sometimes we can express tears And grief and crying And that becomes a channel To minister to that person And I'll just share this It has happened to me At times And I remember once A friend of mine He was a junior to me In school, in college And He settled abroad somewhere And he came and met me And he was one of, you know When I was in college He was one of our worship leaders So we had a very, you know And we used to spend time Being very close in the ministry And When I was in the U.S. We stayed together for some period of time Of course then we went our different ways And so on So there was that closeness That we had in times past And now of course it's Many years have gone But he came to Bangalore to visit And Then he shared with me A very difficult phase Of his life that he had been through And So I was just sitting Listening to him His marriage Had broken and all those things A lot of pain And so after he finished sharing I said Okay, let's pray together I didn't say anything I couldn't say It was so shocking We grew up together He's just a few years younger to me We've journeyed through So many years together In school, in college And to see this happen To my own Somebody very close to me So heartbreaking And so After he finished sharing I said, let's pray together I put my hand around him And from that moment I just started crying And it wasn't just It was like crying from that very depth It was embarrassing Because it was not like a small It was deep Weeping And we are sitting in the living room And his mother is there His mother came out to see what was happening Two elderly grown men standing And one grown man Crying like It was a deep, loud And I couldn't control It was overwhelming Now And it went on for Quite a few minutes And If you ask me, was it your emotion Or was it the Holy Spirit I don't know Maybe it was the Holy Spirit I don't know But I just couldn't control And I didn't pray I didn't say any words But it just went on For several minutes And then when I felt that You know that That whole burden lift It was more like a few words Saying amen, that's it But I felt that's all That's all that happens So like that That kind of experience has happened a few times Maybe I would say Maybe four times Yeah, that's all four times The numbers In public settings And It's something that's not manufactured It's something Unexpected And it's something you just can't control But then just give into it Because whatever God wants to do He'll do with it to bless somebody Okay Alright Okay Christopher's question Please provide some detail It seems that absolute good And evil In different levels Existed From the beginning Alright So Christopher Can we pick this question up on Wednesday And Maybe I need you to explain it A little bit to me So that I understand the question Especially What's in the brackets But can we pick it up on Wednesday Please So please remind me on Wednesday At the beginning of the class So we can start out with this question Maybe if you just explain it Then we can respond to that Okay Alright Let's wrap up today May I request somebody to please pray And then we will dismiss please Anyone could pray Holy Lord, you You are holy, thank you You've called us To be as holy as you are Holy Lord And we pray to You Through Holy Spirit Lord You will empower us Lord to live the life That you call us to live Lord The life that you desire as your children Lord To live Jesus Feel us with your Holy Spirit Lord Cover us with your power And your glory Lord Let us manifest your glory Jesus Thank you Jesus says As our days continue On this planet Lord Let us be That That light Lord you say that we are light And salt of the earth Lord Let us be that salt Let us be that light Lord Let us shine Lord Let us show people That we are called by your name Lord And we are called by you Jesus With us we meet together on Wednesday In your mighty name Lord We pray Amen Amen, thank you everyone Enjoy the rest of your day I'll see you all tomorrow God bless, bye now Thank you pastor, thank you everyone Thank you Thank you very God bless


Hey, yeah, so I'm gonna be blurry because the camera wants to focus on all of these but for the last 12 days we've been talking about all of Eric Jerome Dickey's books and Today we're gonna wrap it up Keep watching to find out which book we're talking about today. It's Kyla Denigno and you're watching Kyla's reading day So today we are talking about the last Eric Jerome Dickey book that was released right after he passed away and I say that because I am crossing my fingers and my toes That he has some other manuscripts that haven't been released Maybe that are still being edited and we might still get some more works from him So today we are discussing the last book that was released. It was actually released in April 2021 and it's called the son of Sulamon the author of the book is Eric Jerome Dickey The genre of the book is fiction and the theme of the book is literature or African-American literature so One of the most important things in the book to me absolutely most important So one of the most important quotes in the book is where they say it's not what they say to you in the room It's what they say when you're out of the room So that quote is indicative of every single person every single character in the book So you have professor pie Sulamon He is the son of mr. Sulamon and so from the first chapter you find out that he has a father Who is fairly famous, but he doesn't necessarily want to claim him So you're like, okay, what's that story gonna be little did he know his father had read the books that he written His father left all of this stuff for him like his father actually cared for him Even though he had never met him another reason that quote is so important is because When pie is there dealing with his father's estate and how to wrap up things the attorney tells pie all of these stories about his late father And so again, we're seeing stories of people talking when you're out of the room being really important Right pie is hearing these stories and he's like my dad didn't do that. My dad was a ham.  She rocks with them. They're filling each other. This is great Gemma says some really really foul things people can lie to you in your face People can smile and chuckle and do all of this when they're not in your face what they're saying That's the stuff that matters and that actually mattered in the relationship between pie Suleyman and Jimma Buckingham as well so Would I reread the book the son of Suleyman? Of course, I had a really good time reading it this time And I love Eric Drumdicky. He is one of my favorite favorite authors And I'm here to tell you this whole experience just reminded me why I continue to read his books over and over and over again Because I had a alert set in my phone every three months to see what he was traveling and when he was on a book tour So I could go meet him and so it really was a big loss to me when I found that out He passed in January 2021 and then the son of Suleyman was released in April 2021 So a huge loss to me But I hope you enjoyed learning something new if you've never picked up one of his books, please pick them up You know, um, I've said it before but it can't hurt to say it again My husband says his books are sexy time books if a book includes sex it doesn't make it a sexy book If a show includes someone kissing it's not automatically a romantic show So but please if you are looking for something to read and I know I'm gonna go blurry here with all these books Consider picking up one of the books written by Eric Drum Dickey. If you're reading something from the 90s It's like a time capsule what was happening back then if you're reading one of his newer books You get to see how his writing style has changed and of course, I reviewed all five books that were in the Gideon series If you want to read about assassins contract killers any of that good stuff Pick it up because he truly does cover the gambit in the full spectrum of people of their emotions and black Americans so Thank you for hanging out with me for vlogmas 2022 and Merry Christmas

We're gonna be able to you know, just overcome try to overcome Start the game off with a hit stick from can bam chance to learn a pick from Patrick Peterson That's the way you start a game. That's the way you set the tone lately man when I play these weekend league games I like to put my pass watch on aggressive my tackling on aggressive my strip ball on aggressive because I like to get Physical that's what it's about a weekend league man. You got to show these kids You're not afraid speaking and not afraid not afraid to throw back across my body to Randy Moss First down got a score here man after getting the interception it's a big deal to go ahead and Score points on this open and drive man first and goal. We got Vic playmaker pop them get to the goal line Try to hurdle but Sean Taylor just kills me typical W on weekend league fumbling with Michael Vic inside the 10-yard line That's pretty much what I do all the time But there we go Just got it right back where we started kicking the ball off see that pass push on aggressive tries that guy I was just a little bit too slow right there I believe I had there when James could not run to them give up that Crossing route that we hate giving up And you see Barry Sanders bouncing off tackles man my tackles on aggressive You're gonna hit people from time to time But you're also going to you know miss tackles and speaking of missing there's Sean Taylor missing the ball and Tyree killed Moss is him Next play Julia's peppers sacks Michael Vic man That's that fully chemed up or fully maxed out peppers 93 speed playmaker high ball catching in front of Jamal Adams Love the offense my guy next plate 38 and Khalil Mack just comes around the edge and says come here Sweetie Michael Vic those are the way for some for three That's okay, man. I won deep pass down the sideline on Sean Taylor is what hurt me Jamal Adams, I tried to stay and well and people ask me why do I have Jamal Adams kick return I don't want to have him a kick returner But it's the best way to put some extra safeties is to put a mess kick returner And we see Moss just short alligator arms that he had Jamal Adams on him And just alligator arm that the ball went through his hands kind of that could throw a pick So right there fumble with Vic ball goes through Sean Taylor's arms to turnovers to this kid And he's just gonna establish the run Barkley Barkley Barry Sanders everybody bouncing off This is sometimes I start thinking man, I just put my tackling on the conservative But we'd like to stay physical and right here speaking of physical He mauled me took it to the end zone Ricky Williams touchdown now I'm down to the scores now I'm down to nothing now. I need to stop playing and go score some points and when I mean points I mean touchdowns don't know me fair to Calvin Johnson get busy a little bit Spin move one cut first down Next play we look he actually baited me so crazy right there was able to hit Lurk me there should have had a pick but bounced off his face. I don't know if he didn't hit wire or what happened Next we're gonna go ahead and try to hit Randy Moss again Rack ag You know when he has that step man just hold X and trust you're gonna get that rack ag animation Up here we're gonna look up top of Calvin look like he had a step I trusted the rack right there and I should have held why Another pick a lot pick I thought Calvin had a step there But that new Sean Taylor man 99 speed when he's coming up and he really just caught back up and picked that off I'm like I said I went for the rack egg should have held why for the for the spectacular catching that in zone But so that's three turnovers already and I have zero points against this guy who's just running and running and run Here's another running and running and it was like like Ricky Williams Just literally just got eight yards from right there. Just gotta stop the run That's all the peppers coming around the edge second and three tall schools. No where get to him third down Here he goes with a little pass play those the high ball hits right there nice play by him Nice little mix up. He's back in full or range runs it again last one Franco Harris bouncing off of people He's gonna take this three. It's gonna make it 13 to nothing at halftime. I get the ball where I write YouTube We're gonna fight. We just got to stay in this game, and I'm you know Here we go once again hit that corner get that rack animation Jamal Adams cannot stay with Randy Moss Man like any of his offense defense check it out on Madden turf right here bang We just see Julio Jones at the last second For some reason he didn't have a deep blue over there He manned him up, and I almost didn't see Julio but came back to him touchdown He's after what I needed 13 to 7 got to keep fighting just got to stop the run man My safety is a line better have to start shedding my d-line is clowny Who is it? It's clowny Julius Peppers Kalil Mack and Lawrence Taylor all full versions of all them players There we see third when James getting off a block get into the quarterback physical And we see gentlemen Ramsey tackling Ricky Williams physical third and 20 got to make a player here Gotta get off the field Pat Pete out of nowhere swats that no sir not me punt my football 4th and 20s want to do just that Try to move Dion so I can catch this pump a great pump by him man He printed from the 26 all the way to my 23 I'm dumb underneath the Dallas Clark because the animation is one I'm gonna pick up four yards on that But you got to take your check downs is there again I'm gonna roll out go back across crossing route bang Randy Moss eating a little hit right there by number 23 Able to hold on to the ball once again. We'll try to hit Dallas Clark I hit one alignment in the head sometimes with a gunslinger Michael Vick high ball Julio Jones Hard flat you got to go for the high ball in between the hard flat and the safety First in 10 door underneath here to Julio Jones hit stick fumble by the computer the fourth Turnover of the game a lot of them. I'm not sure if I can control bad throws bad though, but two fumbles for sure Definitely that one hurt especially because now the time of the game if he gets one field goal He's gonna win this game. I cannot allow a single point 13 to 7 I cannot allow him to get points stop the run right there A little max shedding on the inside get him to a third and long we're gonna run try to run a little match here He clicks me on cool Mac trying to get this crossing route Match coverage cannot keep up with who's that Randy Moss Pat Pete could not keep up on that deep in round It just looks like huh, so now we gotta stop now now times becoming a factor stop the run there next play Blocking all he gets the first down Pat Pete grabs and third one James Oh now it's tight now run get to the two minute warning boys, but we gotta stop We can't let him get even close to field goal range gets off the block Gotta use my timeouts now need to extend this game Lawrence Taylor off the block Third one James Jamal Adams all in there wrapping them up man third and long going for the crossing route Swatted down by LT Lawrence Taylor huge play fourth down kid. What are you gonna do? He's going to the same play this time. We're on the crossing route. No dice for you TEC predator first down good guys now We're gonna score a touchdown man when you touch down to win tough spot to be I'd much rather be on defense right now than offense Every time it's hard to score touchdowns, especially to get closer to the end zone Bagged me up that play got rid of the ball man time is a little bit of a factor But I still have that time out hit a little curl over here. I'm not gonna run the time I'm pretty sure I can go ahead and you know score I want to keep the run an option for me and I know that I'm in one hand spec catch territory right here I have Calvin Johnson Randy Moss Julio Jones also had Dallas Clark all which can go up and get something So I feel like time I'm good on time But at the same time if I get inside the 10 I want to I don't want to be rushed That's one thing he could do or couldn't do and what I do right here is I run out of bounds Just to save a little bit of time now I could have went down and forced him to cause timeouts, but I just don't want to be rushed And I think a lot of times maybe I wouldn't call my timeouts on defense right here Because it's tough to get a touchdown right here man, and this could be the last drive of the game last chance for me So I'm just going to take my time this way to run is still an option for me I'm not my back is never up against the wall time wise But I mean you could go down in bounds there and keep the clock running. Hope he uses his timeouts I just didn't want to be super rushed and Ricky Williams is fighting for me fight Ricky fight and you see he's gonna use his timeouts now. I have to score now That's all it's about right now. So now because he uses timeouts now I know that he is gonna use his timeouts. So now there's no rush on me, you know, I'm I'm I Might just hold the water right here on timeouts man. Make this make somebody score You know, it's just it's a it's a different whatever you guys think man Put in the comment section would you call your timeouts on defense or not here Would you force me to race against the time and try to score a touchdown? But but he is calling his timeouts. So I know if I run the ball here, he's gonna call timeout That's what I do try to pop this little full-back dive and he kind of blows it up Get to a third down. He calls his timeout third and goal on the three. This is tough.  I have Jimmy Graham. I got the power of Jimmy Graham like 88 overall Not that great, but he's tall and I obviously I still have Dallas Clark I told you guys last video if you didn't watch that Dallas Clark is a goon Really good why receiver really quick one come down with a big catch and I do have the three stud wide receivers I have one of them out there.  He kept his user down I was pretty much just playing against the computer players able to catch that high ball and get the toe tap animation with Dallas Clark Fully powered up Dallas Clark now. We got to play defense. That's awesome about man. I don't know what I'm gonna play He's gonna go trips tight end gotta stop a huge tackle right here to hold him the ball in the 14 yard line That was huge first plays in split clothes. I'm gonna go ahead and just rushed for See if we can get after I switched on aggressive pass rushing you see clowny doing what clowny does if you watch these chats You are watching these videos, you know, I love you. They be on clowny next play same thing rolls out Nowhere to go tries to throw it Ramsey Jalen Ramsey zip them up zip them up Bang that's what it's about man. Jalen Ramsey put them in a deep quarter that play it will click one come down I love Jalen Ramsey man six foot to that agility the ability to jump it from a ball reach out with the long arms and make A play man won me the game sealed the game up man and switching on aggressive pass rushing this situation Fix the game especially when I got that tackle here I'm still on aggressive ball care So I just run the ball and fall down so I can't take it hit But like I said making that tackle special teams had in the ball in the 16 yard line where even if you fake height Then I gave up a free five. That's okay He didn't fake like got that huge shack from clowny and that was able to me to kind of seal the deal Forced to go on or run in front of a quarter in Jalen Ramsey man That's what I tell you man If it's the last second situation and you still have time out so there's 20 seconds and you got two time 30 seconds you got two timeouts where it may be if you have timeouts I would advise not taking a ball out man because you need all that time He wasted three seconds and instead of being in the 25 yard line He was at the 16 yard line huge play allowed me to put on aggressive allowed you David I'm clowning your predator to go after the quarterback great win for the weekend league

Watch Town Meeting TV on Comcast Channel 1087, Burlington Telecom Channel 17 and 217, as well as online at Town Meeting TV's YouTube page. Joining me today is Representative Anne Pugh of District Chittenden 7-2. We will begin with opening statements. Representative Pugh, if you want to tell us please why you are running for re-election and a little bit about the experience that you bring to this position. Thanks. Thanks, Christine. Thank you for moderating this. Thank you Channel 17. I think what you all are doing in terms of bringing to challenges. Those who are running for election is really important. And this election is really important. I'm Anne Pugh. I represent, as Christine said, Chittenden District 7-2, which is one quarter of South Burlington. I think very simply I'm running for re-election because I love Vermont. And I really care about the well-being and future of all Vermonters. And if this pandemic has showed us anything, it has shown that there's more work to be done. I want Vermont that works for everyone. Given the pandemic, given the what we see in DC and elsewhere, I think part of what I bring to South Burlington and to this process is experience and a record of working across the aisle, working with the administration, working with South Burlington. And at this point in time, I think we need, this is one experience counts. That's what you'll get with re-electing me and I'd be so honored. So speaking of that experience, I want to ask you about the impact that you'll have in this role. So, you know, you have a lengthy background representing your district. What about your past work will you continue? Or what will be different in your next, should you continue in this role? What I bring, as I said before, is experience. What people will get is a legislator who seeks out and listens to different perspectives, working to me that all voices are heard. I may not agree with all the voices. I also can learn from new voices. I have been, since I have been a legislator with the exception of four years, I have sat on for the past 14 years in chair of the House Human Services Committee. And that is the, that's the committee because of people. It deals with the well-being of Vermonters. It deals with and addresses the issues that Vermonters face that makes it more difficult for them to work, to go to school, to live fully. So what you will, I guess that is where I will continue to put my energy. Do you have any specific priorities or is there specific legislation that you're focused on for the next biennium? The next biennium, from my perspective, is going to be all about the pandemic, all about equity, all about ensuring that institutional and systemic racism is addressed, that the, that the decision, that what we have seen now with the pandemic in terms of how our society, our laws, our institution is in equity, equity across the board, all Vermonters are hurting right now. And so my priority will be seeing that making, making the shifts in those systems, whether it is in terms of access to food or whether it is ensuring that older Vermonters are able to age and be safe in nursing homes, whether it's that our youth can be protected, whether it is that people who are wrestling with alcohol and substance use disorder have access to treatment and services that they need. There's a lot there. Well, we're on the topic of the pandemic. You know that's really sharpened our focus on inequities in health care. I wonder what your thoughts are on what is next for health care in Vermont what changes might be coming up, you know that spring from what we have seen during this pandemic. I think we've already begun to see in terms of health care we've already begun to see some changes as we as a state and actually across the country have had to look at things in a way, whether it's medicine, whether it's been figuring out how Vermont can be less sensitive providers in different states. And whether it's been in terms of ensuring that we have enough people in terms of health care in Vermont. Vermont's in the in the year three of the waiver or what I might say up an experiment in terms of providing medical health care differently, rather than fee for service rather than paying for every best every visit, but in fact, okay for outcomes that in doing so. The thought is that will not only save money, but for monitors will be healthier. There's three of the of this waiver or this experiment. We're running into some bumps, we're not saving money. And people are questioning whether this is the right way to go. What I would, what I believe is that one were in the middle of something and going back to fee for service is not going to work. It does not make for monitors, anyone healthier. And so it's important to continue the evaluation and to continue to see what we can do differently. I don't want to leave this conversation though without saying health care isn't medical care. And I think what I hope my personal hope is that what this pandemic has done has really illustrated that to everyone that for Vermonters to be healthy. They need to have food on the table. They need to have their. You need to have people around them who support them who care about them, who can. They need to have a roof over their head and a way to be connected to the community through a job, or through other activities, and to have their mental health and substance disorder issues. But these basic things, food, belter, the job that pays the ability to take care of those on who they were in their family. Having doing that, Vermonters will be healthier. So if we shift the balance and put more of our fiscal resources. That. I think Vermonters will be healthier and I think that is something that we may see. Thank you.

You can watch more town meeting TV election coverage at www.ch17.tv or Comcast channel 1087 in Burlington telecom 17 and 217. Getting back to what you were just discussing representative Pugh. I think that's what we're talking about. You know about. More resource allocation to that whole sort of healthcare big picture. Well being for Vermonters. That I think brings us to thinking about the budget for next year and so given. Next few years. How would you approach the budget, you know to address those concerns and also the priorities that you see for us in the future. I think that Vermont is not alone. This is a time. The federal government. The federal government. The support states when they are in the middle of this crisis. Vermont was very fortunate in that. The support, the financial support that we've got from and we got from the federal government in the past seven months. We've gotten this small state minimum. more financial support than the vast majority of states. So the first thing that I would be doing would be looking at our congressional delegation to continue to support and work with the federal government and ensuring that not just Vermont, but actually all of the United States. This is going to we're going to need to decide what our priorities are on the one hand. And to as we do things differently. We are going to need to potentially stop doing things that right now are not on recovery. The issues that the pandemic has brought up. So while we're on the topic of finances. I also wanted to ask about education funding. There's discussion about changes to that method. Do you see a need to change the education funding method. And is that something that you would want to be addressing at this time. We absolutely funding of education has historically and continues to be an issue. And if it were easy, it would have been done yesterday. Because I don't know. I don't know of a legislator sitting legislator. I actually don't know if too many people across the state. You think that the way right now, we are funding education, which is all we try not to with the hybrid system. And that's part of the issue. It's too complicated. Supreme Court decision. And I think it's important to note that we're not talking about it. It's not long ago that we're lying solely on the property tax. Not constitutional. Does not promote equity. In education. That said, we are seeing reports are showing. The system that we have now, which has. State support. That's a big part of the process. Which then. Communities have some. Have a voice in. What they as local communities. Or in terms of the school budget. What we have now is inequitable. It's confusing. And we need to change it. We need to perhaps focus on one of the simple. One that maybe does not. It looks at wealth and not just income. And the focuses on quality. Thanks for sharing some specifics there.  I'm going to go back to the, the legislature passed some racial equity legislation. And I wonder, so one direct question for candidates, do you support reparations and apologizing for Vermont's role in slavery and systemic racism? And then to what else do you think we should be doing to advance dismantling systemic racism in Vermont? Pardon me wants to say, of course. And that. Addressing historical equity. Recognizing and acknowledging the store. Things that have happened in the past. Our horrific is really important. It's time. And. It has harmed and it is. It has traumatized many individuals. And we need to.  And I'm not, I'm not going to have the. In terms of. How to best address them. The first bill that was passed. One was passed this year. Built with. Firing. You have elements of. Their curriculum. Focus on equity. And that was the first thing we did. The last thing that we did. We're taking steps in terms of. The process is an action. In a law enforcement community. That. We're not intentional. But what in fact. Built. In. Racial injustice. Well, thank you for that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Racial injustice. Well, thank you for that. We are nearing the end of our time. Is there anything you'd like to say to as a closing statement to viewers. Vermont is a wonderful place. I love Vermont. I. I am not a. Generation. I chose Vermont. I've been in Vermont. For a long time. And I am glad that I. Vermont. Since 1976. I came for a year. And I stayed because Vermont is a wonderful community. We can do better. And I think that. In doing better. What that means. Do is to have. A difficult conversation. Some of which mayor. We were asking. Me about today. We're strong. But the foundations that our community has done. They're fragile. And. But the pandemic has done. Is shown that fidelity. The gasoline 21 will be about who you are. As a state. And where we want to be.  Is the best state in the world. In the country. Lift. Raise a family to grow old. Work. Recreate. But we're going to have to be bold. If we want to recover. We're going to have to have honest conversation. At our challenges. We need to bring the voices. Of our neighbors. We need to bring the voices. Of our community together. To talk this new path. To bring your voice to the table. You haven't turned in your ballot. Already. I'm. To be in the mail today. Actually today's the day that the. Today October 23rd is the day. That the secretary of state has said. Put it in the mail. Miss that. And you have it still on your hand. Have it still on your hand. Go to your local city or. Bring it there. Or bring it to the polls. On Election Day. If you want to go to. The polls will all be voting. Will all be open. Bringing your voice to the table. By voting. In the meantime. Wash your hands.

Thank you for watching.


Hi, I'm Captain Jeremiah Gray. I am the maintenance operations officer here at the Hickam in route maintenance unit. Recently we had the opportunity to host the C-5 ground trainer here at Hickam Air Force Base. This is a great resource for our airmen, especially considering at most in route units you don't get this type of opportunity too often having a locating C-5 on the ground. This helps with our multi-capable airmen initiative to help generate a stronger skill set for each individual and this also gives us opportunities to have an airmen ready for any type of tasking whether that's an expeditionary tasking or a sustainment tasking here at Hickam Air Force Base depending on what comes down the line. My name is technical sergeant Brandon Scott. I'm the electrician RTC instructor. RTC is a regional training center so we're the training center for all of the in route stations in the Pacific Region of the Air Force. It is obviously the largest aircraft in the Air Force fleet. It carries the most payload so it's utilized on a daily basis almost so we want to bring that aircraft in. We want to get these guys trained whether it be here in Hawaii or in Guam or in Dakota. They know how to do their job safely, effectively and on time. I'm very new to this airframe the C-5 and the C-17. For me having this training is very key to learn a little bit more and you know our trainers right now they're doing a great job of giving us extra information like just tips for any kind of job we have out here in the line. Master Sergeant Zayler from the 735. I'm a section chief. These ground trainers give us an opportunity to get after some of the bigger tasks. They're difficult for all the aircrafts out on a mission. Additionally we're able to get some of the joint-based agencies involved that help us support C-5 operations such as the fire department, EOD, the aeromedical evacuation squadron. This is honestly one of my favorite airframes in the Air Force. Doing BPO inspections and stuff like that in the gears is no problem. You know you got so much leg room so it's perfect. Right now we're training the guys and girls here at Hickam but Anderson Air Force Base down at Guam they did send a few people up to be trained and also in Alaska they did send some personnel down. It's pretty easy for them to look at the training opportunity and say hey we need some guys trained up can we send them down to get that training and we're like send as many as you want we'll get them trained up we'll send them back home ready to go.


Thanks to Kyle for requesting this one, Mega Man The Wily Wars for Sega Genesis, a compilation of the first three NES Mega Man games, but retooled in a kind of Mario All-Stars fashion. I didn't even know this existed, but that's probably because it was only released for download on the Sega channel in the United States. The only cartridge release it received was Overseas in Europe, on the Mega Drive. I know there's a few Mega Man compilations out there now, like Mega Man Anniversary Collection, but still, it's such an unexpected trip to see the NES Mega Man games recreated for a 16-bit console, not the Super Nintendo, but for Sega Genesis, or technically the Mega Drive if you're playing the cartridge. The graphics here are very carefully retouched, while actually everything was redrawn and pretty much built from scratch. But it does give off a vibe like the original games were retouched, and like I said it's similar to how the Mario games got a touch up in Mario All-Stars. All the enemies, robot masters, and Mega Man himself all have a little sense of depth and weight to them thanks to the extra shading. And they don't overdo it, everything here looks great, the backgrounds especially look fantastic here with all sorts of new details and colors. The music had to be refitted for Sega hardware, a tricky task to pull off since when most people think of Mega Man they think of the music first and foremost. Thankfully this isn't a butcher job like Ninja Gaiden Trilogy was, the music here sounds pretty cool, and again the novelty of hearing these old themes through a Sega sound chip is pretty nice. The only nitpick I'll point out is that the sound effects for little stuff like taking damage or dealing out damage sound a little bit out of place but that's no big deal. Okay aside from the retooled graphics and sound and the novelty of playing Mega Man on a Genesis or Mega Drive, why should you play this compilation? Because this one actually has some original content you can unlock after you beat all three games. That's right, you can beat Mega Man, Mega Man 2, and Mega Man 3 in any order you wish using a battery save, no password system here, and it'll unlock three extra levels called Wiley's Tower containing a never-before-seen boss in each, Buster Raji, Mega Water S, and Hyper Storm H. One great feature that they included here was being able to select eight weapons and three items from any of the other three games. That's such a good idea, and that alone makes this worth playing. These boss battles are tough too, so what you pick really matters. Another cool aspect is that they actually worked the idea of this being a compilation into the game's storyline by saying Dr. Wiley built a time machine. That's a nice touch. Now these ports aren't perfect, there's a laundry list of minor differences between the originals and the Wiley Wars on the Mega Man Wiki page. Some enemies have longer damage animations, for instance, and Mega Man can only shoot one shot every few frames of animation as opposed to every other frame in the NES games. I have to point out that I'm playing the Japanese Rockman ROM of this game. If you try playing the PAL region, Mega Drive ROM, everything is slower. But speaking from the perspective of playing the 60 Hertz ROM, I think the developers did good enough job recreating these games. The minor differences in the feel of how Mega Man controls don't really throw the game off its axis. It'll still feel like good ol' Mega Man to the casual player. However, I'm sure those of you out there who have put hundreds or even thousands of hours into these games will notice all sorts of nuance changes that are difficult to ignore, and I get that. Again, I can't really speak on the 50 Hertz Mega Drive version of the game.  And of course there's the odd ball novelty of playing Mega Man and Sega's clothing and hearing those NES tunes through a Sega console. But I wouldn't expect that feeling to last too long, to be honest. So yeah, Wiley Wars isn't pitch perfect, but it is interesting, and the extra levels are definitely fun. Try it out on an emulator, at the very least, and experience how odd it is to play as the blue bomber with a Genesis controller.

I got into it by doing two weeks worth of work experience in the summer and I did a day and I loved it and I knew that that's what I wanted to do so I applied for an apprenticeship role which was being advertised and I got it. What's good about this centre that I work at is the hours are pretty much nine to five. I start at half past eight and finish at four which is really nice and the customers come in at nine till twenty-two, four so I get my evenings and weekends which is really nice. So at this centre we have a real mixed bag of ages so our youngest is 18 all the way up to 88. Here every day is different. I plan lots of different sessions so I do a dance and karaoke to get the guys really active and moving and to have a good laugh. There's lots of art stuff going on where the customers can do painting, sewing, sculpture making, loads of different stuff. We go out in the community down to the canal especially down in Chichester to do some volunteering. We touch bases with lots of different services within West Sussex. There's writing skills, literacy and numeracy skills, some sensory sessions down in our sensory room so there's a real fun bag of activities that we do here. When new customers come in from the transition from maybe other services to us or from school to adult services what's really nice is that as the weeks go on and they get a lot more settled here they make friendships with other customers, create bonds with the staff and they become a lot more settled, a lot more calm and really get into their sessions and really enjoy what they do here and it's nice because we get feedback from their parents or carers at home and say that they're completely different people, they really enjoy coming to the centre, they're always talking about it and can't wait to come again which is really nice, really rewarding and that's what I really like, that we're doing a good job.


In today's video, we're opening the most anticipated Yu-Gi-Oh! set of all time, Rarity Collection. What is up, guys? We are back, and we finally have the 25th Anniversary's Crown Jewel Rarity Collection on hand.  In today's video, we're just opening two boxes, and I will be giving away every poll that we get. It could be the Ash Blossom, one of seven versions. It could be the Pot of Prosperity, one of seven versions. Who knows? Just like the video, be subscribed, turn on notifications, let me know down below. Your favorite part about this set? Do you love it? Is there anything you don't like about it? Let's get into it. If you guys want to buy some of this yourself, Sasiado has some on sale.  You want to do it over the next like seven to 10 days, because that's how long the code lasts. And let's get to opening. All right. So before we hop into it, this is like, I think it's an 80 or 79 card set. Does it say on here somewhere? Let me see if I can find it. I don't see where it says, but I know it was like 80 or 79. And there are seven versions of each card in the set. So no matter what card it is, there's seven versions. They come in seven different rarities. They're super ultra rare. Let me read it. It's going to say somewhere, right? Okay. On the OCG ones, it has them listed. Why does it not have them listed on these boxes? It doesn't have the rarities listed. That's kind of weird. They're not listed on the box. I don't know. Let's just get into it. So there's all those different versions of every card. It's mostly like meta stuff. So it's going to be like pretty cool for like actually bling it out of decks. You have a lot of different options for what you want. It's going to be interesting to see what happens with these cards. So like pot of prosperity now is seven new prints. Not just one reprint, seven. So I feel like the older versions are going to get crushed. And that's kind of like the one negative I have for this set because the rest of it's extremely fun. Like it's super, super cool. It's going to be super fun to open. And I think it's actually pretty easy to pull high rarity cards, which is going to make it really exciting to open. Okay, enough cheater chatter, enough chatting it up. Let's get to this rarity collection opening. I think you also, the really cool thing about this, you can pull three high rarity cards in one pack. So there's high potential for craziness. So I don't know what any pack trick is. I'm just going to go straight through on the first opening. Wing Dragon of Rossphere mode. We will be opening today. So tomorrow we're going to have another opening. The next to actually have a two case opening for my local store. And then our final opening will be on Saturday, where I attempt to pull every version of every card live. So I want to see you guys there. Here we go. That's a super. This could be any of the rarities, pretty cool. Change of heart. Okay, we've started off. That is a, oh, it's regular secret rare. I guess this is the other one. So regular secret. Apparently the Platinum's are kind of hard to tell from secrets. So we're going to have to keep an eye on that. Okay. Oh, and there we go right off the bat. This is, I think this is an Ulti, one of the new style Ultis. They look kind of similar to collector rares. They're pretty beautiful. Junk speeder. We have a change of heart. This is what I'm talking about. Wait, no, this is definitely an Ulti. This must be a, wait, what is this? Are these both Ultis? Wait a second. You could tell cause like the texture here and like how shiny it is on the wings and stuff. This is an ultimate rare change of heart. We got two change of heart in the same pack. Then we have a Junk speeder. I did not watch anyone else's video. These are both Ultis. Two Ultis in one pack. I guess you can do that. We are one pack in. We have two ultimate rare. So let me know if you like the new Ulti. I personally love it. I think it looks really cool. It's not the same as the old. Obviously the old is still really awesome and iconic, but I do like this new version as well. We have Masio Dark Law. There's a lot of cool cards in here. Okay, there's a Platinum Secret Rare. So you can tell by these borders on the edges here and then the border down there, they're like kind of Secret Rare pattern. Kind of awesome actually. I do like this. It's like a more amped up Secret Rare. It's called a Platinum Secret, I believe. Pot of Prosperity. Our first one, Ulti Rare. Sean, they're not short printed it seems already. We actually don't know that, but I'm guessing nothing's short printed. Cyber Angel Benton Ultimate Rare. Okay, so we just, it's high rarity cards galore. This is insane. Oh my gosh. All right, this is gonna be a long video.  Okay, Artifact Lancia Secret Rare. Egyptian God Slime went from one printing to eight with this one opening. Okay, we got an Ultra there. We got another Ultra Inspector border. Goes beyond all images. So that's a pretty tame pack right there. That's one we're just gonna keep going through. Keep in mind, every card you see has seven prints. You're gonna be in any of them. So keep that in mind. Oh, our first 25th anniversary. There we go. Lancia, three straight printings in the last two packs. Rhoda Reinforcement of the Army and a change of heart. We have gotten like four of the prints of change of heart. That's what's gonna be super fun on Saturday. We're trying to complete the whole set. We're gonna have binders out. I'm gonna be pulling cards, putting them in the binders. We'll probably like do it every few packs. We'll go back to the binders, add some cards. I'm pumped. That's gonna be super fun because you could tell it's actually pretty easy to get a lot of the cards but getting all the cards in every version of the 500 plus versions is gonna be tough. Wow. This is gonna be a hit for sure.  Why not? I resorts all. Eh, pretty iffy. We have pot of extravagance in here as well. The only thing I'm concerned about is if they wanted to do this again at some point, if they keep reprinting these cards this much. So if they pick 80 new cards every year and do seven prints, eventually nothing is gonna be worth anything because there's gonna be so many prints. So I'm a little worried about that. There's a platinum dark law pot of desires because there does need to be some value in the cards like for the opening, opening wise. But I feel like rarity collection every year will have value. It's the other sets that they're reprinting that I'm worried about. They did all older cards. It might be okay. I'm not totally sure. Let me know your thoughts on that guys. Triple tactics, talents is in here. We have an infinite impermanence. Selene, that's a good reprint. I haven't seen that in a while. And then actually I think Selene was in battles of legend or something.  Baron to floor, nice barons in here. We got the secret tour guide, unicorn and a small world ultra or ultimate rare. Sorry, that's beautiful. Look at that thing. I love the texture on this thing. I like the texture look. It's not, oh, this is collector rare actually. I was wondering why there were dots. This is a collector rare. It's our first one. You can tell because the little triangles on the border but it kind of has the same look as the ultimate rare. Not that different actually. So is this a new collector rare? Cause normally collector rares don't have the shimmer in here. Okay, those are kind of hard to tell apart. Okay, and speaking of my locals, I just picked up a couple of boxes and he was like, hey, you want to open some packs for us? I was like, sure, why not? There's a small world secret rare. He's like, there's one thing I want you to mention when you do this opening, which is not their opening yet but I figured I mentioned it already is. He was like, yeah, they really need to do like a set code for these rarities because there's so many of them. I think magic the gathering does this. And as I just said that there's a couple of rarities that are pretty similar like the secret and the platinum secret, ultimate collector rare. Pretty hard to tell. If you're like a seasoned Yu-Gi-Oh guy, you can probably tell, but I get questions all the time about how to tell like ultra and old to you apart, you know, a lot of the times those look way different and people can't tell. And if there's a set code, it kind of fixes that problem. Plus when you're going through and like, if you're a store, especially you're sorting through a lot of cards, you can just look at the set code and not have to like get in the light, you know, and try to really figure out the rarity. This isn't Egyptian Godslime. So I think that was a pretty good suggestion for Konami. I don't know if they're gonna watch this video. I mean, they definitely don't sponsor me but maybe they watch some of the content. If they do, then maybe they can consider that option because it wouldn't make it a little easier, especially on sets like this with seven rarities, you know, it gets a little, a little muddy about what one you have. I know a lot of people, even seasoned Yu-Gi-Oh people that are into it, they're like, I'm not really sure what I just pulled. Like, is this a Starlight, is it a 25th? You know, I know it says it on there, but it seems obvious if you know, but a lot of people don't. All right, this is gonna be longer than our normal initial openings because I'm just taking time to look at all the rarities. This is so cool, Secret, Dogmatica, Ecclesia. That's gonna be fun to have a 25th and stuff like that. Really, 25th, honestly, you know, I might have to rank my favorite rarities from this set. That could be a fun video, actually, or I could just do it now. Or maybe I'll, I don't know, when will I do that? Maybe I'll do it tomorrow? Oh, Dark Law, 25th, there you go, hero players. That's pretty sick. Okay, Magic Glass Fusion, I wonder what that will do through the Ultimate Rare. That could be a good test for like what it's gonna do to the old cards. Seven new rarities of Dark Law, what does that do to the press of the Ulti? We'll see. Magic Glass Fusion, we have Schism, we have Lighting Storm because we have seen a lot of the time when there's a lot of new prints, like the older rarities go down quite a bit, which just can be a good thing, you know? If they're like not too expensive, Dogmatica punishment, it kind of sucks though when you own them and you're getting destroyed.  It's great for everybody who wants Ulti Dark Law. It's not so good if you're holding them in your deck and you want it to retain value and stuff. So, Ash Blossom, first time seeing one of those. Dark Ruler no more, we have Downer and Magician, so let's try and figure this out. This looks like an Ulti to me because it's all shiny on the side, no triangles. I think I'm right about that. Nadeer's Servant and a Ding Gears Susan here as well. If we can pull the Ash Blossom 25th, it'd be pretty cool. It'd be pretty cool. All right, Striker, because you guys get all these cards by the way, so don't forget that, Red-Eyes Flare Metal. We got a Samoon, the Poison Wind is in here. That's random, Nabeer, that's cool. Outlet is in here, wow, there's so many good cards. So like the first year of this, there's so many good cards to put in, but like next year it's like there's a lot less because you put a lot of them in here. Effect Veiler, there's the Starlight Reprint. We have Downer and Magician, Nightmare Unicorn, wow, check that out. That looks like a collector rare and a preparation of rights. Of course, people are mowing outside, naturally. They wanted to hear about rarity collection as well. Hopefully you guys can't hear that, but if you can, I apologize. Galaxy Eyes, ooh, another 25th. This is probably the worst one. Full Armor Photon Dragon, the original, printed this card, it's like 40 cents. Every time I pull it, I'm like, this is a money card, and then I look it up, I'm like, never mind. There are so many rarity, this is insane. This is gonna be the most fun new set I've ever opened. So, you know, I have set a couple negatives. There we go, Predaprint, Dragastapelia. Pretty sure this card waxed me in a YCS one time. I think that was the one that Hoban was playing against me. Small World, there's a Predaprint again, and a Herald of the Arclight. But yeah, I will bring up the negatives, which I think is the potential overprinting of certain cards. I think that's the negative of this set, but keep in mind that that is the only negative I have. I really like this set, called by the gray. We have Visionary Affairs, that's a good one. I really like that these have a lot of options now. I think it's really cool. I think it's gonna be super fun to open. So, just know it's like 95 to five on my happiness scale right now with this thing. And, cause a lot of time people will watch my videos. I do, I, okay, there's, is that an ulti? No, it's collector rare, okay. It initially looks like an ulti. I think the dots too. You can kinda see there are dots sprinkled around here. That's only in the collector rare. I wonder if that's the new collector rare, if that's only for rarity collection, cause I actually like this a lot more than regular collector rare. You can actually see it right off the bat. Celine. Okay, the mowing has calmed down a little bit. It's a little loud, so if you hear it, I'm sorry guys. But I will try to continue the opening. It's so loud. All right, we're gonna pull. They wanna see us pull the ash blossom. Danger jackalope cool, called by the grave. That's a good one. Ultra evenly matched, another good one. And fairy tale Luna. Here is the, look at this pile. Just look at this. That's the pile of nice cards.  You're actually okay to not sleep them right away. I usually do it after the video. Because as long as you're pretty careful with them, you're not gonna like damage them or anything. Called by the grave secret, we have Egyptian Gods line. We have Harpy's feather storm. Oh, now you can, now you can feather storm people in seven rarities. I'm sure people are gonna love that. Okay, still a lot of packs left. This is kind of a long video of the mowing. Oh my goodness, bread of plant. That's a, not a platinum. We have a red ice flare metal bearing the floor and it's Celine, queen of the master magicians. I'm just trying to make it through this. This is super loud, but I'm hoping that the sure is doing its job. And you guys can't really hear it. We have a herald of the arc light ultra and I'm very unicorn. I resort so we definitely slow down on the big rarities here. 25th, we pulled a couple of, I think four alpha. We have elder insti intis. Nice for my dogmatica, invoke dogmatica dark magician deck. Beautiful, summon limit. We have a win, magician salvation. Okay, we still got a lot of packs left. We still got potential for that ash blossom. That's the big card of the set. Oh, an eldritch. Let's go. The thing is, I'm wondering how these are gonna do. Like in general as singles, because there are so many options for every card. What are the big cards gonna be out of here?  It's gonna be interesting to come back and revisit the sets values in a few months. Maybe we'll even make that its own video just to kind of go see what happened. Blackwing summon, that's a collector, where you can tell by the dots. I'm figuring it out. Compulse ending gear soon. It's gonna be really interesting. See eldritch is pretty nice. That's a pretty big one. We have mech knight, crusadia, avermax, striker dragon, we've got danger jackalope. I gotta speed up a little bit. Ash blossom ultra. So, so far we have ash blossom in super and ultra. That's it. Nothing higher than that. So a lot of potential in this set for us to pull it or in these packs I should say. Code talker inverted. There you go. Oh, old toe collector. I couldn't see the dots on this one. Oh, there it is. Collector rare baron, which it already has a collector rare. That's kind of the bummer thing, but it is a different collector rare. I'll give it that. So it looks different. It's whether you want the rarity collection collector rare or if you want the original. What was it in? Maze, I think collector rare. Yeah, there we go. So, okay. That's pretty cool. We got a, but that's a pretty good pulls baron eldritch. I mean, we're looking pretty good right now. What's our first one? I feel like we got a good one early. Pot of extravagance. We got ghost trick. That's a platinum. Finally. Haven't seen one of those in a while. Pot of desires. Charabini and inspector border. It's going to be so much fun to open. Normally, I would say just buy the singles. You probably should just buy the singles, but if you just want to have fun opening, this is going to be the best set you can buy. It is a little bit more expensive, I know. They've upped the price a little bit and it kind of makes sense with like the rarities coming out of this. You're just going to get so many hits. Like you're guaranteed to get multiple hits in a box. It's a rucksack special with chair, cyberangel benton, another baron. This, that's the thing. You're getting so many, like baron was like so expensive and I'm, I've pulled like four of them. So all these like super nice cards and like super, they've got to be like $1 or less, right? Because not everything can be a dollar. And there's like a hundred of every card. I'm really interested on this set makeup in terms of value, Savage Dragon, Degearsu, some of that. I'm going to find out because I'm going to be opening a lot of it and putting stuff up for sale. Probably going to be on my website this year. So if you want to check something out, ruxant34.com for the expensive cards. Like I rarity is going to go on ruxant34.com, this platinum rare. We have Luna, we have forbidden droplet collector rare. Woo, there we go. It does have a little texture to it actually. That is beautiful. Wow, that going to be incredible. But yeah, I'm starting to put more stuff on my website besides just box breaks, which we have almost sold out of our front and guardian box break by the way. So I think we probably have sold a little bit. Well, you're seeing this today. So we probably haven't sold it. I think we have like four packs left or something. 36 pack box. Iris Sword Soul, Ice Dragon's Prison and Ice Barrier. Plus a huge announcement coming soon for my whatnot. Just a little hint. It's you could probably get the spoilers if you go to my whatnot profile. Little bit of an exciting announcement coming very soon. So that's all I'll say. Junk Speeder, we have pre-preparation of rights, chaos space, pot of prosperity. If you do check out my whatnot and you haven't signed up yet, get that $15 for free. I'll use my link down below. Get something awesome on what now? We have Ash Blossom. Okay, Lonefire Blossom. That's pretty cool. Edison, Edison getting a little 25th. That's pretty cool. Blue Eyes of Biz Dragon's in here. Oh, I want that. A Blue Eyes card. Let's go. Junk Speeder, Effect Veiler. I really want that. That's incredible. Okay, at the end of this thing, I think we're gonna do a little rarity rankings before the end. I'm gonna do a little rarity rankings. We'll see if that changes by the time we open the last live stream or whatever. There's a collector rare. Preda Plant, Dragustipalium. We'll see if it changes, but we're gonna start now with my initial rankings, which we can make it to a short probably. That'd be pretty smart. Ancient Fairy Dragon. Code Soccer, we have Blue Eyes of Biz Dragon. Okay, six. Six packs? I can't count, seven packs. Okay, Nadir's Servant. Baron again, that's the Ulti version. Ulti and collector rare. Lonefire, dude, we are crushing right now. This is two boxes, guys. Two boxes! Can you imagine if you buy a case of this? Wow, this gives me help, though, to actually pull every card on Saturday. Ghost Trick, Dimension Shifter. If you don't wanna miss that, make sure you subscribe to the channel. It's gonna be an incredible, incredible week of opening. I cannot wait. I'm super excited. Artemis, oh, we got something back there. We got a Luna, we got Striker Dragon. Small World, that's an Ulti. Wow, that looks so good. Ancient Fairy, you got a super print. Well, you got all the prints. Yeah, that's a super print, but it got seven prints. Four packs left. Oh my gosh, I don't even know what to do at this point. This is like so crazy. Change of art, should all skism. Spectre Border, Magnite Crusader Avermax. That was like an Ulti too. I'm just skipping through it, though, because we have, it's a long video at this point. It has gotten longer. My editor has to edit this today so we can get it out ASAP. So yeah, sorry, editor. We have God Slime, Lava Golem, Platinum. I feel like Platinum's don't come up that often. Redoer and Reasoning. It's also possible I'm just missing them because they're a little bit more subtle. So that could be happening as well. Two packs left. We have Alpha the Master of Beast, Win the Win channeler, Forbidden Droplet. Kotalker Inverted, Galaxy Eyes, Full Armor Photon Dragon. One final pack for today. Then we're doing our top, we're doing our top seven rarities. We're gonna show the top rarities and which ones I think are the best. Here we go. Last pack, can we get that Ash Blossom Downer Magician, Artifact Lancia? Nice. Collector Rare and Afterglow. So we had the big one right off the bat where we had an Ulti and like a, it was two Ultis in one pack. I don't know if we ever did that again. All right, it's time for my official top seven rankings. Starting at number seven, we have Ultra Rare. This might come as a surprise because there are super rares in this set, but I actually prefer supers over Ultras. I think the Ultra Gold name, it's not my favorite. I just like the subtlety of the super rare, but it's also gonna be in sixth place. So seventh place, Ultra, sixth place, super rare. Coming in fifth, I'm gonna go with the new Platinum Secret Rare. I think it's decent. It's not terrible, but I don't necessarily love it. I think it's just kind of gimmicky, to be honest. I mean, just around the borders is the only difference really and a little bit in the name. And you guys know I don't really like the name having like secret rare pattern in it. So this we're gonna put at number five. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. I think it's okay. Coming in fourth, we have Artifact Lancia, standard secret rare. I mean, standard secrets, they're amazing, they look great. They always will. They can't quite beat out some of these high rarity cards, but they do look nice. Third place, 25th anniversary secret rare. You guys know I have some problems with this rarity. You can't really read the name. I do like the shiniest. I think it looks amazing, but I don't think it's my favorite rarity in here. So we're gonna put this in third place. Finally, second place, I'm going with the new version of the collector rare. I think it's a beautiful looking rarity, but when comparing it to the Ulti, I like that the Ulti has a little bit more shine on the actual artwork, which is pretty cool. Looking at them again though, I like the silver name better in collector rare. These are really close, they're probably a tie for me. I'm actually gonna put the collector rare at the top. So we'll go second, Ulti, it's a really close second, I almost put it first. I like that silver name. I like it way better than the Ultra name. Those are my top seven for the new rarity collection. All right guys, this is an incredible video, a little bit longer than our normal new videos. We'll look out for tomorrow and the next day and the next day, it's gonna be crazy.
