Although their season has long passed for this school year, the Pagosa Springs High School girls’ cross-country team received honors last week when they were recognized by the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) for academic excellence. Known as “Academic Team Champions,” the girls were recognized for their team’s cumulative grade point average of 3.93 out of a possible 4.0 maximum, on a non-weighted grading scale. “We’re very proud of them,” said Pagosa Springs High School (PSHS) Athletic Director Jim Shaffer. “It’s a very prestigious award. These are a bunch of girls who work hard in the classroom and on the athletic field.” “We’ve always known we had a lot of athletic talent as well as intellectual talent on the squad,” said PSHS varsity cross country coach Scott Anderson. “This shows the type of dedication these girls give to their academics as well as their extracurricular activities.” In a press release accompanying the announcement, CHSAA Commissioner William Reader stressed the importance of the relationship between high school athletics and academic performance. “We know from research in our own state that students who participate in interscholastic athletics and activities are better students. They have higher grade point averages than the rest of the student body, they post higher test scores and are absent less often. Quite simply, involvement in high school activities and athletics makes for better students,” Reader said. According to the release, over 21,000 students are represented in high school athletics throughout the state. The award recognized 12 different athletic and non-athletic activities for the fall season of 2008. jim@pagosasun.com

South India, I guess all of India, has a culture of drying vegetables, mixtures of lentils and spices, and pastes made from rice, sago and similar. This is sensible of course – it preserves summer produce for use throughout the year, and thus in leaner seasons it extends freshly available ingredients. Although terms are used interchangeably, strictly speaking: - Vathal are dried vegetables and fruits - Vadagam are dried balls of lentils and spices - Vadam is a paste or dough made from rice, sago etc that is dried and then fried before using. Also called Fryums. Looking for similar recipes? Learn how to Dehydrate Sweet Mango and make Mango Leather. Other recipes that use the dehydrator include Sweet Potato Crisps, Mung Wadi, and Crispy Spiced Dried Okra. You might also like other Mango recipes here and here. Browse our Indian Recipes here. Or try a collection of easy Late Summer dishes. Vathal can be used in the traditional South Indian Vathal Sambar and Vathal Kuzhambu. They can be made from Turkey Berry,Cluster bean, Green Mango, Okra, Eggplant and other vegetables. I also dry Green Mango as it begins to ripen, giving a slightly sweet taste to the Vathal and resulting dishes. Mango Vathal | Dried Mango for Indian Dishes ingredients raw or ripening Green Mangoes salt turmeric method Slice the flesh from the mango seeds, and cut into large wedges. Place in a glass bowl and add salt (1 scant tspn per mango) and turmeric (1 large pinch per mango). Mix well and allow to sit for several hours and up to 36 hours, stirring periodically. Drain. Spread out on trays without overlapping. Dry in the sun, turning periodically, until the mango flesh is completely dried. This can take several days – bring the mango pieces inside at night. Alternatively, use a dehydrator to dry the mango – about 40C until dried and leathery. Store in an airtight container for up to a year or more. recipe notes As well as Kuzhambu and Sambar dishes, the mango vada is wonderful cooked with rice or with a mixture of rice and mung dal. There is no need to soak the vathal before cooking, but add a little more water to the rice or rice-mung dal mixture. Mango can also be dried without soaking in salt and turmeric. Simple spread the pieces on trays and dry as directed.

Making a speech. Have three main points. Putting up a blog. Have three sections. Writing a plan. Have three objectives. That’s how we put focus on the things that are important. Remember, threes rule! Always say “thank you.” These two little words leave a big impression that goes a long way. So many times, it goes without saying and the results can be disastrous. Say it with me, “thank you.” Times like these can be hard on everyone. Just remember, we are all in this together. Busy times will come again. Don’t give up. Consider slow times “go times.” Go to what you know and what you’re good at – go to customers. Start today. And by all means … listen, deliver and always say “thank you.” Believe me, your customers will appreciate it! Written by Melinda Dille filed under: Blog - Work Jun 17 2009 If you want to succeed, you have to LISTEN to what your customers are saying or suggesting. Consider them and their feedback a conduit to more customers. If their suggestions or requests fall on deaf ears, they will soon be off to find someone else who is tuned in. Remember, happy customers tell maybe two people, unhappy customers will tell at least ten people about their less-than-positive experience. Admit it. We’ve all done it. Written by Melinda Dille filed under: Blog - Work Jun 16 2009 What better time to get to know your customer then in slow times? Instead of “selling” them, take the time to understand them, what they want and what they need. People enjoy doing business with companies that appreciated their opinions. Provide a pleasant experience, every time, and people will return for more of the same. Deliver a bad experience and you’ve lost them forever.

For the record: Detroit 5-2, second place in NFC North; Denver 2-4, last place in AFC West. Last game: The Lions lost their second straight game, 23-16 at home against the Falcons. Who’s hot: Wide receiver Calvin Johnson has scored 10 touchdowns in seven games, four more scores than the next-highest receiver, New England’s Wes Welker. Johnson also ranks fourth in the league in receiving yards with 679. Who’s not: The Lions’ running game took a major hit when Jahvid Best suffered a concussion Oct. 16 in a loss to the 49ers, and the offense has struggled because of it. Sunday’s loss to Atlanta marked Detroit’s worst offensive day of the season, with QB Matthew Stafford throwing for only 183 yards and the team failing to score a touchdown in two tries in the red zone. Key stat: The Lions have a plus-10 turnover margin, best in the NFL, in large part because of Stafford, who has thrown only four interceptions in seven games. He has thrown 16 touchdowns, tied for third with Tom Brady, behind only Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. That’s pretty good company. FYI: The Broncos are 6-4 all time against Detroit. The Lions won the teams’ last meeting 44-7 at Detroit in 2007. Coachspeak: “When we look back at this, we’re going to see three or four opportunities that if we’d have capitalized on them things would look a lot different.” — Detroit coach Jim Schwartz, after Sunday’s loss to the Falcons Lindsay H.

George Henry Yewell – world-renowned painter and etcher – Iowa boy at heart (1830 – 1923). George H. Yewell was born January 20, 1830 in Havre de Grace, Maryland. When his father, Solomon, died one year later, little George and his mother, Harriet Carver (Yewell), first moved to Cincinnati, as she had family there. It was here George received some instruction from Theodore S. Parvin, who later became a prominent educator in Iowa. At the age of eleven (1841), George and his mother came west to Iowa City. Her obituary tells us more… A Young Man and His Journal. Young George loved exploring the open space around his childhood home of Iowa City. When George was about eighteen (1847-1848), he began journaling, bringing story and art together on one page. Here’s an entry that reflects one of the many happy times with friends:, William S. Cooke, Abraham C. Price, Wesley Redhead, wildly yarns of the inimitable Tone. The group was a picturesque one; one lying at full length warming. George’s Political Art Goes Viral. In 1848, after George and a friend returned from an extended excursion to New Orleans, he wrote in his journal…. Yet, despite George’s attempt to become a reputable tailor, Providence led him in another direction… Notwithstanding my determination to master a handicraft, I never gave up my feeling for the Fine Arts. George’s breakthrough in the arts came with a humorous sketch he called Removal of the Capitol, a political cartoon addressing the controversy surrounding the possible move of the state capital from Iowa City to Des Moines. In journal writings composed in his latter years, George described the incident… I think it was during the session of the Iowa Legislature. This caricature (below) attracted the attention of Burlington native Charles Mason, Chief Justice of the Iowa Supreme Court, who sought George out and aided him with money, by which he was able to begin a course of art study in New York in 1851, entering the schools of the National Academy of Design. Read more about the power of political cartooning in Iowa here. Iowa City in the Late-1840’s. In 1849, several of Yewell’s friends left for the new gold fields of California. In his journal, George mentions Sam Hayward, Davy Sessions and Peter Snyder. On July 17, he wrote… I read today, an account of the death of Thomas B. Waring, of cholera, en route. Interestingly, George records in his journal four arrivals of the steamboat Herald in 1849: on March 24, April 11, April 22, and May 10. On April 22, he and several others rode down to Philip Clark’s farm, hailed the Herald and got a ride up to the landing at the foot of Capitol Square. There was “a pleasure party on board from Hannibal.” The 1849 ‘K, George and Wesley Redhead met a poor woman who was lamenting the loss of her bucket in a well, “which, by the aid of a ladder, we extricated.” 1851- An Iowa Artist Heads Off to New York. As we mentioned earlier, on the advice of Judge Charles Mason, an early patron who had been attracted by his caricatures in 1848, George headed off to New York on October 4, 1851. Of the journey, he wrote… . Five days after leaving Iowa City, George arrived in New York, where a friend, Charles A. Dana of the Tribune, gave a note of introduction to Thomas Hicks, a famed artist who helped him, without pay, qualify for the National Academy of Design. George. It was Thomas Hicks who gave George a firm foundation in drawing and prepared him for study in Paris in 1856 at the famous atelier of Thomas Couture, where Hicks himself had been a student. 1854-1855 – Two Fruitful Years in Iowa City. After an initial three-year period of study in New York, George returned to Iowa City to visit his family and friends. He set up a studio in his home and painted portraits, “principally babies and young children.” He painted a sign for a jeweler, showing a child holding a large, antique watch. In his journal, George states…. These sketches turned out to be the earliest pictures of Iowa City that we have today. About this same time, photographer Issac Wetherby came to town, picking up with a camera where George left off with his paintbrushes. Thankfully, between these two creative men, we have a handful of early Iowa City classics that give us an accurate view of our fair city in the mid-1850’s. Allow me, now, to share George’s 1854-1855 Iowa City sketches with you… 1854 – George Henry Yewell’s Twelve Iowa City Classics. 1855 – Iowa City Etchings & Other Assorted Activities. These sketches (above) of Indian Lookout, located south of Iowa City, remain from George’s 1854-1855 season in Iowa. While still in Iowa City, George also met Mary Elizabeth (Mollie) Coast, whose father, Craft Coast, had moved to Iowa City from Michigan that spring. The two young people were constant companions and according to George’s journal, “eight years later (1863), she became my partner for life.” 1855 – Two More Iowa City Classics. There are two other drawings that remain from George’s 1854-1855 season in Iowa City. One pictures Iowa City as viewed from the north, and the other depicts Walter Terrell’s grist mill. 1856 – Back to New York City – On To Europe – Winding Down in New York (1923). By January 1856, George returned to New York, re-enrolling at the National Academy of Design and starting a small studio in the city as well. That July, George ventured to Paris, once again supported by his Iowa connections, Judge Mason and friends. There, he studied with Thomas Couture, counting among his acquaintances fellow students Henry A. Loop and Thomas Satterwhite Noble. While in Europre, the great success of George’s copy of a painting by the contemporary artist Rosa Bonheur earned him the respect of his fellow artists. In the 1870s, George, now married to Mollie (1863), traveled throughout Europe, exhibiting his work in both Paris and Rome. In 1878, George returned to New York, where he worked in the popular Tenth Street Studio Building and spent his summers at Lake George, New York. His departure from Europe may have been precipitated by Mollie’s behavior, which had shocked the American community there. The couple divorced the following year (1879) with Mrs. Yewell marrying the British artist Edwin Ellis, with whom she had been romantically involved for years. Back in New York, George was elected to the high honor of “Master” of the National Academy of Design (1880), became a Patron of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a member of the Century Club, and served as secretary of the Artists’ Fund Society of the City of New York. Throughout his career George maintained his connections with Iowa City, sent paintings there for exhibition, and returned in his later years to paint portraits of local celebrities, including Governor Robert Lucas (upper) Governor Samuel Kirkwood (center-left), Judge Charles Mason (center-middle), T. S. Parvin (center-right), Governors Lowe and Chambers, General Grenville M. Dodge, and Judges Wright and Dillon. Nine of these portraits now belong to the State Historical Society of Iowa in Des Moines, while the University of Iowa holds the largest and most representative collection of paintings from all periods of George’s illustrious career. George died at Lake George in 1923 at the age of ninety-three and is buried in the Bolton Rural Cemetery in Warren County, New York. Thanks, George, for your loving appreciation for your childhood home of Iowa City and putting those feelings into your artwork! To quote Mildred W. Pelzer, another amazing Iowa City artist of yet another generation… A visit to (George H. Yewell’s artwork) will cling in the memory like haunting strains of organ music heard at the hour of sunset.

I had a good night’s sleep last night and woke up feeling good…So, I thought I’d better continue the city tour today before New Year’s Eve kicks in. I felt a bit better about “the Zone”. I really think the problem is just the extreme heat and humidity. Everyone is so lethargic and pissed off because it’s so freaking hot. Anyway, I was done with walking around in the midday heat so I got a ride around town with this guy… He totally looks like a crack dealer (not that I’ve ever actually met one but this is how I imagine they look like) but is actually a very respectable and polite church going family man. First stop on today’s tour was the Columbus Lighthouse which is actually a lighthouse, mausoleum and museum all rolled into one. It supposedly contains the remains of Christopher Columbus and is built in the shape of a cross to represent the christianisation of America. It’s one of those kind of places for which photos don’t do it justice. From a distance it kind of looks like it might have been designed by a Romanian dictator, but close up, it’s quite an impressive structure. Next stop: The Universidad Santo Tomas de Aquino, the first institution of higher education in the new world. It’s now a church, however. The statue of Fray Anton de Montesinos: A Spanish Dominican friar who was a missionary on the island and preached against the enslavement and harsh treatment of the indigenous people of the island. And a few other random shots…

Review: Crash Gordon and the Mysteries of Kingsburg Crash Gordon and the Mysteries of Kingsburg by Derek Swannson published by Three Graces Press original publication: 2012 size: 2900KB (632 pages) categories: humor; horror; occult; science fiction; literary fiction lending: enabled simultaneous device licenses: six part of the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library: yes text-to-speech: yes real page numbers: no x-ray: no “The things you want the most usually end up being bad for you. The sun gives you skin cancer, the tastiest foods make you fat, and love will break your heart.” –Derek Swannson Crash Gordon and the Mysteries of Kingsburg When I first started reading Crash Gordon, I was so impressed. This was amazingly good writing, with characters as well drawn as those in Stephen King. Like King, it also included supernatural and pop cultural elements, and seemed both very real and magical at the same time. I recommended it to my Significant Other…but quickly had to retract that. The first issue was that it got very graphic. Not violently graphic, and not pornographic in the sense that it was meant to stimulate you in that way…but personally sexually specific in a way that would mean not even Showtime could make a really faithful adaptation. Still, the writing was very good. That one objection might not have stopped me from suggesting it to people. However, as the book continued (and it is a satisfyingly long book…not like some in the Kindle store), the focus shifted from the characters to concepts. One character, introduced later in the book, lectures on and on. You can think of it like those long science monologues in a Michael Crichton book…except this goes on for pages of obscure facts and theories. In some cases, the lectures are broken up by snarky comments from other characters…but being on Mystery Science Theatre 3000 doesn’t make something a good movie. These lectures were based on things that were familiar to me, but may not be to you. If the names Jack Parsons, Aleister Crowley, and Andrija Puharich are not known to you, I don’t think that will make the information particularly more interesting…it wasn’t familiarity that was the problem for me, it was that it tended to be just recitation. It made it seem like the purpose of the book was the message, rather than entertainment. If it wasn’t for that, if the whole book had been like the first part, I would definitely say that Derek Swannson was a major talent. My guess, though, is that Swannson’s primary goal wasn’t just to entertain. I can see how this book will be some people’s favorite book. I would love to see more from Swannson without the agenda. Now, I could be wrong…it could just be that it’s the characters that consider these conspiracy theories important, and that Swannson may write other books (this is not the author’s only book) that have nothing to do with that. If that’s the case, I’ll be more impressed. There were many things I liked about the book. The main character loves to read…I could absolutely empathize. I thought this was a great line: “Libraries will finally be recognized as the true churches, where angels communicate with mortals.” I’m going to give you a few warnings…and then I think some of you may go on to read and love the book (well, certainly, the first part): - Characters say racist things - There are sexual taboos broken - There is talk about horrible things - Orthodoxy is challenged - Occult things are discussed The proofreading was pretty good. There were a few small errors (I plan to send them to the publisher), but no more than I would expect from a traditional publisher. I think that gives you a good sense of this book. Many of you probably shouldn’t start it. Some of you will like it, but think it could have been edited more strongly (“Do you really need all those pages on that?”). Some of you will love it. I got it through the KOLL (Kindle Owners’ Lending Library), by the way. If people do get it based on this review, that system has worked. If you do read it, feel free to tell me and my readers what you think…without spoilers, of course. Update: the book is free to own (not just to borrow) through the Kindle store on August 25th and August 26th. You do not need to have a physical Kindle or be a Prime member to take advantage of this…it’s a giveaway. Thanks to the author, Derek Swannson, for the heads-up on this! This post by Bufo Calvin originally appeared in the I Love My Kindle blog. August 25, 2012 at 9:14 pm | Hey Bufo, Thanks for your review of Crash Gordon and the Mysteries of Kingsburg. I sincerely mean that. I’m in complete agreement with you—it’s not a book for everyone. I thought your review was fair and balanced (unlike some of those Operation Mockingbird-influenced reports from Fox News, etc…). I’ll also freely admit to having an agenda; I think there are more than enough books out there already that do nothing but entertain. However, you’ll be happy to know that I’ve eased up on the conspiracy theories somewhat in the sequel—Crash Gordon and the Revelations from Big Sur—which should be published sometime in the following year. If you send me the proofreading errors that you caught, I’ll see to it that they’re incorporated into CGMK’s next edition. In the meantime, the Kindle version of the book is available free to all readers—not just those who have access to KOLL—today and tomorrow (8-25 through 8-26). Here’s the link: Crash Gordon and the Mysteries of Kingsburg All best, Derek Swannson P.S. Bufo wouldn’t happen to be short for bufotenine, would it? If it is, here’s a excerpt from the upcoming sequel that might be relevant, in which Gordon, recovering from amnesia, meets up again with his long-lost friend James (Warning: you might want to shield your Significant Other’s eyes from this…): “So the truth is, you were a male prostitute,” James says with effusive mendacity. “A truck stop whore with a really bad addiction to bufotenine, which is some kind of crazy, smokable hallucinogen that meth labs make on the side from the venom of Colorado River Toads. Which explains a lot, am I right? Anyway… to support your filthy habit, you’d sell yourself to any lonesome old trucker who came down the road—for the bargain basement price of only thirty bucks.” “Man, I don’t remember any of that,” I say, feigning credulity. James is seated next to me at the bar in Old Camozzi’s Saloon. We’re working on our third round of beers and it isn’t even time for lunch yet. “I used to get so sad when I’d see you in your rhinestone hot pants, peddling your *ss down at the Pink Elephant Car Wash.” James is almost exactly as I remember him, aside from the scruffy new beard and mustache—which lends him a dash of manly ruggedness by camouflaging his childish, freckled chin. “Y’know, now that I think about it,” I say, playing along, “I seem to recall a nurse saying they had to cut me out of a gold lamé tube top with a lot of splooge marks on it right after they pulled me from the wreckage of your uncle’s Bentley….” August 26, 2012 at 12:48 am | Thanks for writing, Derek! I really appreciate it when authors take the time to comment on the blog! I’ll get the word out that the book is free…although you’ve also already done that. When I write a review, my goal is to give people enough of a sense of the book so they can know if they’d like to read it or not. I don’t expect everybody to like all the books I like, so it’s not sufficient to just let people know whether I thought it was good or not. I guess some folks figured they’d like it from what I said…I notice the sales rank jumped a couple of hundred thousand after I wrote it. That doesn’t always happen when I write a review, and I know it could have been due to something else…but it was fun to see. There is a connection between my first name (which is just Bufo…not short for anything) and what toad lickers lick. Bufo is classical Latin, and my understanding is that the connotation is “wisdom”. The way I’ve heard it is that, in the Middle Ages, toads represented wisdom the way owls do now. For example, ancient toads were supposed to have a stone in their heads that changed color in the presence of poison: I’ve heard that some of those were peddled to royalty (along with unicorn horns) who feared assassination by poison. So, the scientific name of toads is Bufo because they are the wise ones. That might not be right, but it’s a nice story and I’m sticking to it. Perhaps not as complicated as a connection between Fred Crisman and the Amazing Criswell. I’ll send you my proofreading notes…thanks for offering! August 29, 2012 at 3:37 pm | You’ll have to elaborate on the connection between Fred Crisman and the Amazing Criswell someday. Somehow I missed that one during all my research into deep politics and high weirdness…. All best, D November 5, 2013 at 5:29 pm | […] reading a pre-publication copy of the sequel to Crash Gordon and the Mysteries of Kingsburg. After I wrote the review I linked there, the author, Derek Swannson, commented on it. I sent my […]

ANSWER: The pieces that you have, which are actually pottery not china, are known as chintz. Made from earthenware, they’ve become one of today’s most popular collectibles. Chintz dates back to the 18th century when English merchants imported exotic fabrics with elaborate floral patterns from India. By the early 19th century, Staffordshire potteries began to emulate these patterns on the decorations of their wares, using large flowers and exotic birds. By the 1820s many potteries in the Staffordshire area manufactured chintz for everyday use. Although they produced many Victorian patterns, today's collectors prefer the chintz made from the 1930s to the 1950s. The four major companies making chintz back then—Grimwades Royal Winton, James Kent, Crown Ducal, and Lord Nelson—needed a product that was cheap to produce so that their chief market, the English middle class, could afford it. Since they made chintz from earthenware and decorated it with lithograph transfers, it filled the need nicely. All together, there are over 200 different patterns of chintz. The decoration of chintz required an amazing amount of handwork and skill since women transferred the designs by hand from lithographs on to the individual pieces. The process, which was similar to applying a decal, required meticulous cutting and matching to ensure that the junctures of each piece were practically invisible. Other workers gilded each piece by hand before firing. When World War II broke out, the British Government forbade all unnecessary manufacturing, so chintz production halted. After the war, people became starved for color and the chintz produced in the 1950s had a different look, with flowers larger and farther apart. Makers also changed background colors to black, burgundy and navy. But in the late 1950s tastes changed, and housewives’ preferences turned to modern Scandinavian design in furniture and accessories. The fussy chintz patterns clashed with the new decorating tastes, and most chintz production came to an end. It wasn't until the 1990s that interest in cozy, comfortable chintz returned. Of all the chintz manufacturers, collectors deem Grimwades the “Cadillac of Chintz.” It produced over 60 different patterns from 1929 through the early 1960s. In 1915, Albert Goodwin Richardson bought the Gordon Pottery in Tunistall, England and renamed it the A.G. Richardson Ltd. He wanted to produce good quality earthenware under the name Crown Ducal. In 1919 he sold his interest to Harry Taylor who owned a lithograph company. Crown Ducal wares also appealed to Americans during the late1920s through the 1950s. James Kent took over the Old Foley Pottery at Longton. in 1897 and renamed it James Kent Ltd. to produce earthenware for the English middle class. He first produced the chintz pattern DuBarry in 1934, and it remained in production until 1980. The most popular Kent pattern is Hydrangea with a white background. The quality of James Kent wares is inferior to Grimwades, and prices are somewhat lower. M.R. Hadida Fine Bone China Ltd. Bought the company in the 1980s. Another factory turning out great quantities of chintz was Elijah Cotton's Lord Nelson ware. The firm Elijah Cotton Ltd. operated at the Nelson Pottery in Hanley from 1889, making mostly kitchen and hospital ware. Their chintz earthenware is chunky in shape and poorly decorated. To avoid having to hire skilled decorators, they purposely didn’t decorate the spouts and handles of their teapots and jugs. Black Beauty and Green Tulip are their most popular patterns. Today’s collectors include tea and coffee pots, whole tea sets, bud vases, and serving pieces in their collections. Some focus their collections on a single pattern while others mix and match designs. Still others collect only tea cups in as many patterns as possible.

Are you God-centered or Human-centered? People say that there are two kinds of theologies. One is God-centered theology and the other is Human-centered theology. There are many different characteristics between the two. However, one striking difference is found in our memories. When we reflect on our life, if we remember only those people who hurt us, we are Human-centered Christians. However, when we reflect on our life, if we remember God’s interventions whenever we are under attacks of the world, we are God-centered Christians. One example of God-centered person is Joseph in the Bible. He suffered many difficulties in his life. His brothers tried to kill him and finally sold him as a slave to a foreign country. He was falsely accused for a sexual crime that he did not commit and put into a jail. He helped out other jailers but was forgotten by the one whom he helped. Only after a long suffering, he was released from the prison and used by God. When he reflected on his life, he did not focus on the evil things that people have done against him. He focused on God’s plan for and Grace on him. He finally had understood why he had to go through all those sufferings and difficulties. So, instead of accusing others and making all those enemies, he praised God and forgave others. Now, at the end of this year, what would be our focus? Do we focus on those who have been against us or those things that made us miserable? Or do we focus on God’s plan and will that have worked on all the circumstances to make God’s will be done? Isn’t it true as the Bible says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28)? King David, who lived God-centered life made this confession at the end of his). Let us stop complaining against other people as if they have any power to make our lives miserable or unhappy. They can and will make plots against us but we are in God’s hands. Unless God had allowed those things with God’s holy and mysterious purpose that we may not know yet, they would not have happened. We have seen some examples in the book of Job. Let us focus only on God who loves us enough to send his only begotten son. :31-35) Let us give thanks to God who is with us and receive the new year with hope and great expectations!

Hey, lady, can i say something to you for a minute? Please? no. now before you take your coat off. that's it. I got something to tell you. See, what i have to say is so very important to our relationship. Why is it that every time we go out on the town, we get around our friends? Man, you're always talking about what you got, huh, Went out and bought for you, How much money i make, And what school our children go to, And all the fancy clothes and big pretty cars, The big diamond rings, and them fantastic mink coats. Is you for real? no, i don't think you are. Sit down. no, no, sit down. Now don't say nothing. you see... Wait a minute, wait a minute, that is your problem. That is your problem. you're always saying the wrong tthing at the right time. You see...i don't--i don't know how to explain this to you. The best i can tell you is what my mother told me as i was coming up. She used to say, "son, chances go 'round." She said, "the same people that you meet going up, They make the same old faces coming down." Heh, tell the truth. You see, people today, they come out there to party. They come out to party, man. They didn't come out to hear all that jive mess you talking about. You standing up in the corner with a bottle of champagne taking about harry, joe, and dick and bobby and what they ain't got, And they live down in the lower development homes, and you won't even help. You won't even buy 'em a drink. Is that any way to meet them? If you're gonna boast, boast around somebody that has what you have. Don't make your own brothers and sisters feel bad. You see...listen. I know you know what i'm talking about, because from time to time, i can remember you coming to me putting your head on my shoulder and crying, "oh, papa, why? why? why don't nobody wanna be my friend?" You told me a long time ago. you said, "papa, what am i doing?" I didn't wanna tell you that. I thought you had sense enough to realize what you're doing, but i see you don't. Sit down and listen to me. no, sit down! You see, people are too sensitive today. They don't wanna hear all that jive you talking back. You see, they don't wanna hear about what you got, 'cause they're trying to get it, too. Heh, tell the truth. I can't very much blame her. As much as it hurts me, it hurts to see people going around behind our backs saying that "this woman this, this woman that," or "she ain't this" or "she ain't that." I wanna be proud of you, mama. I wanna be proud of you. Listen, as long as you live. As long as you live whether you're with me or not, Be for real, girl. Just be for real, yeah. (be for real.) Be for real, girl.

Pearl opening companies seem to be popping up all around the world, certainly in the UK and on facebook in the last couple of weeks or so. This pearl opening thing has been around for years. Every so often someone will come up to one of us and say they got this pearl at some place which had a tank of oysters and they picked one and it had a pearl in it. In one place in America I heard of boys diving off a pier to get the shells, which is a dramatic bit of scene setting. They cause our hearts to sink. The pearls are invariably low quality freshwater pearls, but the customer will have been told that the pearl is worth £££ and is rare and very valuable. I never know whether to be honest and blow the smoke away or just gush about what a wonderful pearl etc etc These set ups are always a money making scam to some degree or other. I have yet to see one which sells genuine akoya pearls of any value. Mostly they sell low quality freshwater pearls in plated findings for – I just saw one on facebook – £35 which is outrageous The scam goes like this. The operator buys pickled oyster shells from either a wholesaler in the UK or America or direct from china. They are vacuum packed and dead. The poor things have had a random freshwater pearl shoved into them. The process is that the pearl is inserted into a live young akoya oyster shell which opens as it dies. The corpse is then dumped into a chemical bath which shrinks the adductor muscle so it slowly closes, and preserves it. Then it is vacuum packed or tinned and sold to one of the companies at the top of the supply pyramid. There is one company which has been recruiting sellers hard and promoting these parties, because they are selling the preserved shells and findings at a huge mark up and controlling the drilling and setting of the pearls. Big profit for them. The party works by someone signing up to buy some of these tinned oysters and asociated stuff and told a load of nonsense about what they are. They organised a website and facebook page and get people to join an online video ‘party’ where with a lot of whooping and hysteria, the huckster then opens one of these in front of a webcam and – wow – you have this pearl. The huckster will give a ridiculous appraisal that the pearl is worth much money. (no it is not) Or the opening is done in the shop or the end of the pier. But the pearl inside is yours. And, not only do you have this pearl now, but you can buy the finding -some basket pendant holder usually – to display it. And it only costs £££. I tracked down one UK wholesaler. These pickled and vacuum packed shells cost between $1 and $2 a pop. Never more, even when packed individually in a box with a silver tone finish pendant finding. That wholesaler is selling them for £80 for five! I am in the wrong business. The operator opens the pearl and tells you your pearl is worth £££. It is not. Vacuum packed, so you can opening them in front of a webcam- popular on facebook. $1.20 each There are also suspicions that there is some pyramid selling going on, and I heard over the weekend of two people in America who have thought they would start up these horrible operations and have lost their money by being sent empty boxes I’ve not yet seen a website with one of these companies which complies with UK and EU law on returns or on contact details . These are invariably low quality freshwater pearls – akoya pearls do not come in shocking pink or peach, and certainly not ready dyed black! Plus the chemical liquid in which they are preserved is probably toxic. If I sound cross about this nonsense and scam it is because I am. It is dishonest and wrong If you want great pearls talk to us – We go to Hong Kong to personally select every single pearl on the website. Our business is open, pays its taxes, is a ltd company with bona fides, complies with all the UK law, you have an address for me, you can talk to us, make returns, and we’ve been going for more than 15 years. Shop here for finished jewellery Shop here for bespoke commission work Shop here for loose pearls to make into jewellery Update Information for a class action is being gathered in the USA. If you have had involvement with this nonsense either as a buyer or seller in the US please contact who will be taking action in the ninth circuit. In the UK contact Trading Standards and the Citizens’ Advice Bureau Latest There’s a new video on youtube debunking the claims by sellers of these pearls that pearls change colour when wet/dry .They don’t. The sellers are lying, they are sending out different pearls to you. More scam, more deceit. Pearls do not change colour when wet. it’s here (with demonstrations of pearls all staying exactly the same), as made by my friend Laura , who was so dismayed by this whole pearl opening deceit she started a Facebook debunk page (here ) And also There is no such organisation as The National Pearl Association of the United States. In America you have the Cultured Pearl Association of America. In the UK we Have the British Pearl Association. The NPAUS is a made up thing to try to add credibility to a pearl opening wholesaler company’s totally ridiculous and fraudulent pearl value chart. This chart, being shown to pearl opening punters assigns values to pearls. The values are absurd, not going to happen. No respectable pearl dealer would have anything to do with such a chart. Every pearl has a different value. arrived at by negotiation and with experience. If you are shown such a chart it is okay to laugh. Tell the person showing you that we said it was okay to laugh cos the chart is a joke with no basis in an honest pearl business Finally…We’ve looked at some of the websites supplying pearl parties. They hide. They want your money but they do not give a mail address, just email. Ask yourself – does any reputable business hide where they are? Of course not. May 19 further info USA law Link to BBC ‘rip off Britain’ mediocre report on pearl parties (only available in UK unfortunately) starts at 8 minutes in And here’s Buzzfeed on them November 2017 update Remarkably I am still getting emails and enquiries about this. People still starting up businesses ( not spotting that their next big thing is the week before last’s fading craze). There’s also been a revelation that the preservative liquid is definitely toxic in at least some shells – it is formaldehyde. Used to preserve tissue . UK safety people are investigating and import may well be banned Finally for this update I got this email this morning from a pearl opening supplier. These are the prices your pearl opening facebook lovely friend is paying for these shells – work out their profits for yourself then go to a reputable and knowledgeable pearl supplier for your pearls

. When you encourage them to have other hobbies or interests, it can help your teenage to find a healthier way to have fun. The how, where and when teenagers gamble You may even think that it is too early for your teen to start gambling, but the fact is that most teens have already been gaming. Most children start at around 10 years old and many have gambled by time they turned 15. The most common forms of gambling for children are scratch off lottery tickets and card games. These could seem harmless, but some children will move from playing these to more serious forms of gambling as they age. The internet can expose teens to gambling as well, even before they turn 18 and allowed to gamble at a casino, at the TAB, etc. There are so many online gambling sites that teens can access. Another thing is that children can gamble without using money on Facebook and smartphone apps and most of those games that are rated okay for children, will have gambling themes and content to them. Tablets and smartphones allow teens to gamble at any time they want. Why Teens see gambling as fun Gambling like experiences and gambling is something that teens will see as normal and the ads from casinos can send out the message that gambling is fun and that it is an easy and quick way to get rich. Teens may even think that it is a way to socialize because online gambling will use messaging and chat to encourage people to play with friends, getting others to place bets and share gambling stories. Online gambling has been designed so that a person would win a bunch during the practice mode. This can cause a teenage to believe that this winning streak will continue when they start playing with real money. However, most problem gamblers believe that they had a big win during the start of their gambling history. Gambling is a game of chance, but there are some games that can look like a regular app or video game which involve skill. This could be fun for a teen, but it could lead younger players to think that gambling is a skill, and this leads to false or unrealistic beliefs about the odds of winning an gambling. Preventing Teenage Gambling Children in upper graders in elementary school are often ready to learn about gambling, which include how likely a person is to win the in the long run. It can be helpful to explain how winning works that they can easily understand.

Captain Manchester’s been a busy guy since his relaunch on Friday 2nd October. Following the announcement that Captain Manchester was back spreading kindness across Greater Manchester, he was out and about handing out cakes on Friday 2nd October, and on Monday 5th October, he gave out brollies to folk caught in the Manchester rain. On top of this, this week he handed out bus passes to the people of Manchester to cure those Monday blues. The Captain helped to launch Forever Manchester’s own Caketober event, which helped to raise £180. And due to the Forever Manchester staff team making more cake than we could all stomach, he took to the streets of Manchester offering free cakes and spreading the message of kindness. Once all the cakes had been given away he then headed to our First Friday networking event at the Deansgate Pub. He loved it so much, he got up early on Monday and headed across town with brollies in hand. On the morning of Monday 12th October, Captain Manchester then gave away Day Riders to brighten up the people of Manchester’s Monday morning. If you’ve not done so already, head to his secret hideout on our website to watch his latest video and listen to his exclusive radio interview. To track his progress or tell the Captain about your random acts of kindness that have cheered someone up, make sure you contact him on Twitter.

Happy Halloween everyone!!!! I know most authors say your titles will be changed you don’t need to think too hard about them. But according to agent, Jessica Faust of Bookends Agency, that is the first thing that grabs her about a manuscript and will keep her reading. The title. She says it should evoke the feel of the story and grab the reader’s attention. Granted most titles get changed when they are bought by a publisher, but if you have a good one, it will grab the attention of your first reader-either an editor or an agent. So, I’ve been anguishing over the title of my historical western mystery. I had planned to use colors in the titles, but so far no one has liked the titles I came up with. Then I thought I’d just go with Mae Simon, Pinkerton Detective: Vanishing Heiress. To keep the series influence the Mae Simon, Pinkerton Detective would be on all the manuscripts with a title for each book. But that doesn’t grab the reader. Then I thought of “Au Revoir Esther” since at the beginning of the story the heroine throws off her old persona “Esther”, and she pretends to be a French Prostitute. But this doesn’t tell you there is a mystery involved in the story. Faust also said your title should let the reader know a little about the story genre. I need something that says historical, western, romance, mystery… The title of a book, usually comes to me just like the characters and the premise, but for some reason this book isn’t jumping out at me with a title. Here are some of my other ideas. Any thoughts? Improper Pinkerton Chasing Dead Ends Posse of Two Cloak and Colt .45 How hard do you work to get a title that suits the book? Or do you just name it your character’s names and figure it will get renamed when it is bought? What is your method for finding the right title for your story?

How Important is Pedestrian Area for You? How important is pedestrian area for you ? “Pedestrian is a pathway that is generally parallel to the road and is higher than the surface of the pavement to ensure pedestrian safety is concerned.” Pedestrian word comes from Greek language, which is derived from the word meaning pedos feet, so that pedestrians can be interpreted as a pathway for people to walk. Pedestrian path should be able to be a good facility that is provided either by the government or private organizations as facilities for pedestrians. The need of pedestrian facilities as a public open space has also increased to the adjustment of lifestyle and standar of living for Indonesian people in general and in particular people at Jakarta. How do you determine the choice of materials and concept design for floor coverings in the area of highway pavement will be very supportive of making it look more attractive and still adapted to its function. Granito has few options of “rustic tiles” for the pedestrian area (pedestrian walkways), and the photos above are some examples of Granito’s projects that already exist in several provinces in Indonesia.

bars.. My brother was a good person who got himself trapped inside a corrupt system. I aim to shed light on a few of the effects that addiction had on my family. There was a time when my brother and I were children and he would play games with me. We would laugh, have fun. He would teach me all the things big brothers were supposed to, like how to find a good hiding spot in hide and go seek, even if that meant shimming up the wall like Spiderman. When I was 11, my brother was in a prison that was a two-hour drive for me and my mother each way. I dreaded visiting him every weekend. I didn’t understand why I couldn’t just stay home and enjoy being away from the school I hated so much. It was his fault he was in prison, why did I have to suffer? The visits were only an hour long, but for a child, that hour stretched on for what seemed like a year. I would beg my mom for a few quarters for the vending machine, just to have something to do. I would sit there quietly, not having anything to say. I wasn’t particularly angry at my brother at the time, and I understood that my mother felt she needed to see her eldest child. The truth is, once my brother started down the path of hard drugs, we didn’t have anything to talk about anymore. The early mornings of playing Super Mario 64 together were over. Granted, it was more of him playing and me watching. I always have enjoyed watching others play games. I don’t remember the first time my brother went to prison. To me, he was always gone. He bounced around from rehab to lock-up rehab, jails to prisons for the majority of the time I knew him. My brother was 8 years older than me. He spent his time outside of prison worrying about mundane teenage things that I like to think he intended to protect me from. Because he was so absent for most of my childhood, we had formed a hollow relationship. It was normal for me when he would get locked up. I was accustomed to watching my mother get her hopes up every single time he was home, and then watching her heart break repeatedly as the cycle of addiction continued. I loved him, and he was sick. He had OD’d so many times that I became numb to it. Addiction is no joke. I’ve seen the worst of it, and it tore my family apart. When we found out my dad had cancer, my brother was incarcerated. I remember pushing my dad in his wheelchair through the security screening to visit my brother. They were really close. My dad, like me, stayed silent for most of our visits. His silence stemmed from the exhaustion from how sick he had become. I loved my dad. My dad died in 2007. I remember watching my dad try to tell my brother that he loved him on his deathbed through the phone. His mouth was trying so hard to form the words. He managed a few moans, but that was it. I was 12, and in 4 days I would be 13. My dad wasn’t around anymore to be the one who always knew what to say. He wasn’t around to push me to do my best in school. He was my motivation for learning. He was a teacher and a very good man. I didn’t realize it at the time, but a little girl needs her dad. She needs a man to teach her how to stand up for herself and to tell her she’s smart. She needs a father to teach her what true love looks like and how to be a strong person. Luckily, he taught me a lot of things before he became too sick to speak. Watching cancer eat away at someone you love is a punishment of its own. But as they say, trauma builds character. My mom worked tirelessly to make sure the funeral arrangements were set. She made countless phone calls to the facility that imprisoned my brother, begging for a furlough so he could at least attend the funeral. It was approved. My mother arranged for an officer from our hometown to escort my brother to and from the funeral. But, the prison said no. You see, sometimes the justice system doesn’t do the right thing. Sometimes, the people in power get so in over their head with their own ego that they pull power trips and don’t care who it hurts. Even though everything was neatly organized and approved, my brother did not get to attend the funeral for his father. I can’t imagine what he must have endured in prison during this time. Unable to lash out, to get angry. Unable to scream, possibly even unable to cry. This experience did everything but help my brother in his recovery. In fact, we believe it drove him down the darker path that resulted in his death. My mother was the best mother you could ask for when in prison. She made sure my brothers’ commissary account was always filled so he could eat decent meals instead of the state provided salted meat pucks. My brother did his best in prison. Always making the trustee team. Leading prayer groups, even preaching to the prisoners. In fact, out of the repeated lock-up facilities he was in during this time, I believe he always got time off for good behavior. He never got into any trouble, at least none that I was told about. He helped people, over and over again. But each time he would come home, like clockwork, if we were lucky it would take a few months before he was headed back to the penitentiary. Sometimes I would pretend that I had a big Wheel of Misfortune to spin, picking what facility he’d end up in next. It’s not as fun as it sounds. My mother believes her son was being pushed to take drugs by the people he trusted as his friends growing up. In fact, I believe this too. In case you’re new to earth, let me save you some time. People are shit. There was a time when my brother lived in San Antonio and seemed to be doing well. He had a job, a nice girlfriend, everything seemed great. Except, of course, he was still using. And I got to hear all about it every single day as my mother and brother fought over the phone. You see, I learned at a young age that getting your hopes up sets you up for disappointment. It was easy to believe with my mother that this was going to be the last time. He was finally freed from addiction, hallelujah! But every single time, he wasn’t. I’m thankful to have the memory of when my brother came to my high school graduation with his lovely girlfriend. His lovely, pregnant girlfriend. We actually had a good time together. We talked about all sorts of things, but I could tell he was holding back. I needed to have a deeper connection with him. I was still convinced if I could relate to him enough, that I could help him. Foolish little girl. I opened up to him about a girl at work pressuring me to do cocaine in an effort to lose weight, expecting him to tell me to stay away from the drug and that I’m perfect the way I am. Instead, he told me to let him test the product for me. I was appalled. Soon after, he asked me to be a middleman to get drugs from the girl at work. This served as confirmation that it was all an illusion, all an elaborate lie set up by the junkie pathological narcissist that had everyone fooled. Why were my feelings hurt? Why was I surprised? I finally moved out of my mother’s house. No more loud, emotion-filled phone conversations. I could officially ignore my brother in peace. I moved in with my boyfriend at the time in a nice apartment near where I worked. Remember the pregnant girlfriend? She gave birth to a gorgeous baby boy who has completely stolen my heart. My brother was a good father to him. Sure, nothing is ever perfect, but I loved watching them play. My brother and his new family came to visit my then boyfriend and I in our apartment. We went swimming in the community pool. My brother and I sat by the pool and talked about something we both have in common but I was never sure how he would react to my bringing it up. You see, my brother and I are both adopted from separate families. I was on a soul quest of discovery (as young adults tend to do) and had found my biological family on Facebook. I asked him if he ever tried to find his family and he said no. For a long time, he didn’t care about them because they gave him away. But he was beginning to get curious and for once in our lives, we really connected. I was finally getting somewhere. All my hope began to flood back. Maybe, because he is now a father, things will get better. My brother, his girlfriend, and son later moved in with my mother. Which meant we were in the same city and I got to see my nephew whenever I wanted. But this also meant that my brother was once again in the same city where he graduated high school, and all his old friends were there. He made attempts to distance himself, but, once you let one in its really easy to fall back into nostalgia. The time came when he had to see his probation officer in San Antonio. He didn’t have a drivers license so, naturally, I was the one for the job. This was one of the maybe 5 times we ever had to really talk together. We walked on the Riverwalk and watched some kind of game at a sports bar. I took his picture in front of a man-made waterfall. We went back to the hotel, and he started freaking out. He received a message from his girlfriend that she was pregnant once again. He completely lost it. I’d seen him angry, but I’d never seen him this sad. Truly sad. I tried to cheer him up, tell him maybe she’s wrong. But she wasn’t wrong. A few months later, I receive a call from my mom, telling me they found my brother sleeping in the passenger seat of his car and they found needles next to him. I completely shut down after that. I was angry. I felt betrayed, taken advantage of. Manipulated. Stupid. How could I be so stupid? I really believed that things were going to change. That we could be a normal, happy hallmark family but once again my hopes were crushed. I stonewalled him. Anytime my mom brought him up I would stop listening. He was only in jail for a few days, my mom bailed him out of course. But how could I face him? He was doing so well! Or at least, he was fooling us well… I focused all of my energy on my trip coming up. My boyfriend and I were planning to go to Disney World. I was on a quest to relive all my childhood joys in an attempt to heal old trauma. We were planning to drive 20 hours both ways to Orlando, and stop in a swamp in Louisiana to sleep. I was excited. I had only been to Disney World once as a kid and it was right before we found out my dad had cancer. We had a good time. And now, I’d get to go back and really enjoy all the sites as an adult. I was working at a cellphone store at the time. It was my last day of work before we were off to Orlando. My mom calls me from her house phone and tells me she was in the attic and dropped her cell phone from the ceiling to the floor. It was totally destroyed. I told her to come up to the store and we’d get it replaced. My brother was with her. He looked ashamed. I was very rude to him, ignoring him mostly. My mom told me that my brother cleaned her whole house, mopped and everything. I rolled my eyes, another manipulation tactic. I got her phone set up, gave my brother a half-assed hug, and they left. The minute I got home, my boyfriend and I packed the car with all of our stuff. We started our million mile journey to the place where dreams come true. We stopped to sleep in a literal swamp in Louisiana, and then we continued until we made it to Florida. We went out to eat, went to the beach, even visited a surf shop. I slept eager that night, excited for our vacation to start. I woke up to a call from my mother very early in the morning. I rolled my eyes and answered, knowing it was my brother, and knowing he was dead. I knew it before I heard her broken-hearted voice scream it through the phone. But it wasn’t real until she said it. “He’s dead! Sterling, he’s dead.” I was shocked and admittedly embarrassed at myself for knowing he was dead before she said anything. What kind of a sister assumes her siblings are dead? I was angry. I was so angry at him for leaving me on this earth to clean up his mess. My mom was all alone in Texas and we might as well had been across the world. For once I let myself be selfish and feel all the things that needed to be processed. I screamed into my pillow for what must have been hours. I didn’t know what to do, or what to say. There was a part of me that always knew this is how it would end. I wasn’t going to Disney World, and once again, I had let my hopes get up really high only to have them ultimately crushed the finest of dust I could fathom. The police officer who came to inform my mom just left her there without any remorse at all. The entire police department in my hometown knew our family because of how many times they dealt with my brother. To them, he was just another druggie and they were probably glad to be done with him. I screamed. I was so upset. I was so angry. The details of what happened to my brother that night are still being investigated, but the official story being told is that he had a heart attack. Every person who dies goes into cardiac arrest, so it’s not technically wrong. We got back in the car, and I demanded to go to the beach and eat something before we flip back around after driving for 20 hours to immediately drive for another 20 hours. We made it to the beach. I went up to the water, my toes in the sand. I wanted to scream, wanted to curse, wanted to cry. But I couldn’t. Florida beaches are really crowded. I didn’t want to scare anyone. That’s me, always being considerate even when a good scream would have done me a lot of good right then. I don’t remember what we ate. All I remember is driving straight home, only stopping for gas. I zoned out the entire time. I drove most of the way. I was determined to get back to my weeping mother. We finally got back. I began my damage control protocol and made sure my mom was taken care of. I was faced with the belief that addiction only ever ends in death. As I sat in the front row of the church, staring at my brothers immobile, waxy body, listening to his son exclaiming from the hip of his pregnant mother saying “dad” over and over again, confused why he wasn’t holding him, crying out for his dad who would never touch him again, hearing the ignorant priest call out my brothers wrong age and my mother yelling to him from the front row, “He’s 28!”, I realized that through the trauma of his death, he had freed us all from his cycle of addiction. I like to believe that if the prison had granted my brother furlough as they promised, and he was able to say goodbye to my dad, that my brother would have never ended up in the ground next to him. It’s easy to point the finger at others and blame them for when things go wrong. The harsh truth is that my brother would have ended up dead anyway. The amount of OD’s he had experienced was a miracle in and of themselves. At this point, his heart could have given out at any moment without the aid of any drug. As blatantly screwed up as this story is, it does have a happy ending. I now have a wonderful sister in law with 2 beautiful nephews, the youngest named after his dad. My nephews are the most wonderful children I know. Children give us hope. Without them, it would have all been for nothing. Thank you for reading.

Such a heart wrenching story, but one played out hundreds of thousands of times every day around the world. I too have to deal with the addiction of loved ones, sometimes on a daily basis. One thing I have learned is that even as they bring the toxic negative energy of addiction into your life, you must not fight against it. Fighting against it only strengthens it. You have to forgive it, over and over again, forgive it. Addiction opens that gate to negative entities, toxic thought forms, demons if you will, who take advantage of the weakness as their playground to do their evil will. These too must be forgiven, fighting them only strengthens them. I know this sounds counter-intuitive and I don’t expect anyone to accept it. The other thing I have learned is that addiction is not a primary disorder. Addiction is secondary to anxiety, and anxiety is secondary to unresolved fears. Find those fears and you have found the root of addiction. Thank you for sharing your story. Gary very sad… i hope this gave you some release ❤ drug addiction should be treated, not punished

operator, Groupon, Groupon VIP, LivingSocial, loyalty program, merchandising and design, web advertising Less than a month after launching a test of a paid loyalty program, Groupon Inc. is offering Groupon VIP to consumers in five more markets. The daily deal operator says it plans to slowly expand the offering nationwide. Groupon is offering select users in Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, OH, Minneapolis and Orange County, CA, the chance to try out Groupon VIP for three months. The program, which costs $29.99 a year, gives shoppers first shot at deals, one-click access for requesting a refund for unused vouchers, as well as access to what Groupon is calling its Deal Vault, which contains deals that are not available to non-VIP members. "We're continually innovating to improve the Groupon customer experience," says Jeff Holden, Groupon’s senior vice president of product development. "In the case of VIP, we asked our customers ‘If you could wave a magic wand and change Groupon in any way, what would you ask for?' The three main features of VIP were at the top of the list: early access to deals, ability to purchase closed or sold-out deals and anytime-refunds." The test had been running in Charlotte, NC, Indianapolis, Miami, Milwaukee, Tampa, FL, and Hampton Roads, VA. Groupon rival LivingSocial rolled out a similar program called Plus last November. For $20 per month Plus members get $25 in “Deal Bucks” credits that are applied to their next purchase, as well as access to closed deals. Deal Bucks are LivingSocial credits redeemable for vouchers from the daily deal

The recipe was super simple. - I took six pieces of buttermilk bread, cut off the crust, and pressed on them to flatten them out. - I then put nutella and banana slices on two of the bread, nutella and peanut butter on two of the bread, and nutella and strawberry jam on two of the bread. (get creative with fillings here) - I then rolled them up and slathered them with a French toast batter (any kind will due, I just used two eggs with 1/4 cup of milk) - I then put a little butter in a frying pan and fried them on every side until evenly golden. - Once removed from the heat and cooled slightly I rolled them around in a sugar/cinnamon mixture. - Arrange on a plate and eat with syrup. No forks needed! **I'm going to warn you, they look really gross throughout the process but once they are completed and ready for eating they will look delicious! For one of the fun gifts I made a candy bar bouquet because after all, what man wants flowers? I was able to get everything I needed at the dollar store (score!) - the "manly vase", Styrofoam, candy, and TNT pop-its (no man can resist pop-its, it always brings out that inner child). I thought this tin can would look more manly and rustic than a typical glass vase. Isn't it cute? I cut the Styrofoam to fit into the bottom, taped wooden skewers to the backs of the candy, and stuck them in. Easy-peasy and oh so fun!

# cp -r /usr/lib/vmware-installer/2.1.0/lib/lib/libexpat.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/libAnd to compile vmmon and vmnet you have to go into /usr/lib/vmware/modules/sources directory and unpack vmnet.tar and vmmon.tar files. Then, in each of them, issue make command. Finally, files ending with .ko move to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc (create it if necessary) and then run 'depmod -a' command. I also had to manually load those modules with 'modprobe vmnet' and 'modprobe vmmon' commands. # cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1 # mv -i libz.so.1 libz.so.1.old # ln -s /usr/lib64/libz.so.1 . The only problem I noticed so far is that after inserting vmnet kernel module network interfaces are not automatically created. To fix that just run vmware-netcfg command and save configuration. After that, everything should be OK.

Developing “sustainable communities” is widely recognised as an essential process in which we all share a collective responsibility. To ensure that Community Solutions plays a constructive role in developing sustainable communities, we have developed a strategy whereby our Community Capital Centres will be utilising solar power, collecting rain water and recycling. An extension of this strategy on the Sunshine Coast is the development of the Eastbank Edible Garden, adjacent to the Sunshine Coast Community Capital Centre at Lake Kawana. The garden has been developed as a training facility for the public and Community Solutions programs. These programs include employment, training, disability care, health and wellbeing, youth, indigenous, social enterprise and seniors. Additional benefits are evident in the social connections made and environmental appreciation, which are developed through involvement in the Eastbank Edible Garden project.

With less than a day left and over 150,000 votes the poll shows that most people want immediate work on a jailbreak. According to his twitter account, Pod2G is making great progress but a public release could still be a while away. Nikias Bassen Pod2G’s friend tweeted minutes ago “Yay @pod2g @p0sixninja, progress!!!” another hint that some real progress is forming.

However, the third size fits into a business envelope for trouble free mailing. As Intel (and other chip makers) have been able to shrink its processors, integrate more features, and reduce power requirements over the years, manufacturers have been able to fit them into smaller and smaller form factors.

Cooking with roots can be just as interesting as cooking with any other seasonal vegetables – just because most of them look a bit on the ugly side doesn't mean that what lies beneath the skin isn't appealing! In fact, it's quite the opposite; most root vegetables have their own totally unique flavour and can easily be matched to the job in hand. Look at parsnips, for example: they are in a league of their own and when roasted alongside a joint of beef they are very hard to better, in fact I would go as far to say that in winter, a roast beef lunch just wouldn't be complete without an accompanying dish of roast parsnips. In the shops, root vegetables may look rather a dull buy compared to, say, a pea or green bean in the summer, but if they are in season then my opinion is that we should all make the most of what we've got. I've had some root vegetables knocking around the bottom drawer of my fridge for a couple of weeks now and I've just used the last of them up and made them into a hearty winter broth – something for which they are perfect, as they can withstand a bit of over-cooking and re-heating without losing their colour and flavours, and if you add a bit of smoked bacon in at the beginning it works a treat. A casserole of winter vegetables with rosemary Serves 4 A great vegetarian dish on its own, or simply serve as a wintry pot of vegetables in the middle of the table with a roast. 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1cm-thick slices on the slant Half a swede, peeled and cut into rough chunks the size of the carrots A couple of turnips, peeled if necessary and cut into wedges a similar size to above A medium-sized parsnip, peeled and cut into similar-sized chunks as above 12 or so shallots or button onions, peeled 4 cloves of garlic, peeled A few sprigs of rosemary Salt and freshly ground black pepper 100g butter 150ml vegetable stock Pre-heat the oven to 180C/gas mark 5. Heat the butter in an oven-proof casserole dish on the stove, add all of the vegetables, garlic and rosemary, season and cook on a medium heat with the lid on for 2-3 minutes, stirring every so often. Transfer to the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Add the stock and cook for another 15 minutes with the lid off, stirring every so often. The vegetables should all be tender by now, if not give them another 15 minutes or so. Celeriac soup with scallops and bacon Serves 4 Celer. Grilled herring with soused root vegetables Serves 4 Her. Creamed Jerusalem artichokes with duck livers and chanterelles Serves 4 Jerusalem artichokes are another ugly-looking root with a subtle, earthy flavour which suits meat, fish and offal – and they tastes great on their own, too. I've used them here to create a base for the duck livers and mushrooms – and if you felt so inclined, you could also thrown in a few duck's hearts, too. Wild mushrooms were in short supply this year; you could also use cultivated oyster mushrooms. 300-400g Jerusalem artichokes, peeled and halved 250g duck livers, cleaned 100g butter 120-140g chanterelles, cleaned but not washed or they become soggy Salt and freshly ground black pepper Cook the Jerusalem artichokes in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes or until they are tender, then drain them and blend in a liquidiser or food processor, then transfer to a clean pan and season to taste. To serve, season the duck livers (and hearts if you are using them), melt the butter in a frying pan until it is foaming and cook the livers for a couple of minutes on each side. Add the chanterelles or cultivated oyster mushrooms and cook them for a further 30 seconds, stirring the chanterelles and livers as they cook. Spoon the Jerusalem artichoke on to warmed serving plates; scatter the livers and mushrooms over.

2014 College Organization Fair July 12,2014 “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” — Henry Ford One of many activities the Student Council has had in store for the college unit, was the first ever Organization Fair, which was held last June 18 and 19, 2014. The event was aimed primarily to allow the different student organizations to raise funds for the upcoming Recruitment Week. Initially planned to be held for three days, the organizers decided that the third day would be reserved for the much awaited Kick Off Concert. Each organization had a booth at the school’s open quadrangle and the field. The different stations developed creative ideas as to how to raise funds, given the initial capital provided by the Student Council. The ideas ranged from mixing your own mocktail, to an array of confectioneries for sale, such as graham balls, pastillas and the like. Some went the extra mile and crafted different nifty items which could be very helpful to students, such as planners, notebooks, and hand painted wallets. Feedback from the students were a mix of both joys and points in which the activity could be improved. Many of them were happy to have this opportunity to raise funds and let their organizations be introduced to the first year students and the rest of the Scholastican community. On the another hand, some suggested that the activity would last for three days instead of two, to allow for an additional day of fundraising. The Organization Fair was also to allow the freshmen and women to get an overview of the different organizations they could join. The event was bothered by sudden bursts of rain showers, but all in all, the activity served its purpose. The Student Council is in the works of preparing many more venues like this to encourage the student organizations to be as effective and active as they can be.

I informed ahead that my guest was having a birthday, and after a very fine dinner he was surprised to see the waiter come over to the table with a large piece of cake ( enough for all four of use to share )and sing " Happy Birthday " All in all it was a very enjoyable evening.

The waiter however was not prompt and took forever. The prime rib is what we ordered and it was horrible. The breadbasket had bread in it that was tasteless and gave a bad feeling after eating it. The salad was very poor quality. The vegetables with the meal were very salty and drenched in butter and garlic, very discussing. The prime rib was very poor quality and full of way too much fat the percentage of meat I actually was able to eat was able 45%. I will never go here again and never recommend this restaurant to anyone. I would have had a better time at McDonald’s. - Great FoodTimBDined on 8/10/2014The steaks and Crab legs are always excellent!

My husband and I most recently enjoyed the Chicken Oscar and the NY Strip. Our salads and sides (rice and garlic mashed potatoes) were delicious. We were too full to try a dessert, but they sounded just as good as everything else on the menu. The service is always top-notch. The waiters are friendly and efficient. We have thoroughly enjoyed each and every visit to Billy Bob's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend. - Great Steaksjet2535Dined on 7/27/2014Food was great. Service was exceptional. A little pricey, but well worth it.Special Features: - Dinner reviewOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/27/2014I had the chicken entree. Very good, a little salty but good. I don't know what That green vegetable was..but it was like trying to eat a stick. Just keep it to simple broccoli. The other person had escargot, which was ok not great and lamb chop that were very good. Our waiter was Jonathon, he was okay. He did not go out of his way to be great. I would eat there again and certainly at 5pm to avoid the noise and crowd. I hope you change the vegetable , because I usually eat that with a dinner meal. I looked around and nobody else ate it either. Thank you for asking for a review.Special Features: - Prime Rib For Dinner, etc.RonJean2dineDined on 7/26/2014We chose Billy Bob's Saturday nite Jul 26 for the Prime Rib. We ordered it Rare. We didn't order it Raw. Looked real nice when it came to the table, but soon discovered it was chewy....bordering on tough. I managed to get through mine, although with great chewing effort. My wife wasn't so lucky. She had to leave ~ half of it because it was so tough. So, bottom line, I think we'll be giving Billy Bob's a rest. In addition. We had a reservation. When we walked in, right on time (6:30 p.m.) we got up to the reception desk first. There was a second couple that arrived a few seconds behind us. In spite of us being ahead, the Hostess seated the couple in back of us first....and it appeared they didn't even have a reservation. - SmellsOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/25/2014We had read reviews that gave this place high marks but after a meal there we can't say anything good about the place. There was a urine odor and the menus were acuuall wet when the hostess handed them to us. The food was mediocre and too pricey for what we recieved. - Excellent Customer ServiceRiverRatDined on 7/23/2014The meal was great! Excellent customer service provided by Maury our server. I do not recall the gentleman assisting him (excellent customer service as well:)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend. - Continuing Great ExperiencelocalfoodieDined on 7/23/2014The food is always outstanding, the staff are fantastic and it is always a great experience and this coming from 20 years of dining at Billy Bob's. **(NO, I am not a Relative or Owner)Special Features: - Steak dateZboltDined on 7/22/2014The food and service were good , but we didn't care for the atmosphere , dining area is too bright , country music in background plus patrons talking made the noise level high , feels like the claim jumper , but with higher pricesSpecial Features: - Good But Standard SteakhouseIBSueW2Dined on 7/20/2014It's a good but standard steakhouse; a variety of different steaks, seafood & some chicken & ribs. It had been some time since our last visit & we saw that several items that we enjoyed were taken off the menu along with some desserts.Special Features: - Great Oysters SpecialottoDined on 7/5/2014Best Oysters Rockefeller we ever had! Filet Mignon was extremely tender.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend. - Shrimp slipottoDined on 7/4/2014We go here almost every time we go to Vegas. They have always had the best shrimp cocktails. This last trip seems they changed their shrimp supplier as although very good they were not as excellent as they usually have been. This was true on both nights we ate there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend. - A big differenceMiasVIPDined on 6/27/2014We had a very good meal at Billy Bob's. We were there two nights before and were disappointed in the food and the service was awful. This time, we had a different waiter, Johnathan, who made a meal a very enjoyable experience. If you go to Billy Bob's, ask for Johnathan! - lvsteakloverDined on 6/27/2014The ribs were very dry and tough. The birthday surprise was really cute.Special Features: - Billy Bob'sMiasVIPDined on 6/24/2014We arrived at 8 PM and were seated promptly as the restaurant was mostly empty. Ordered an appetizer which was good but took about 30 minutes to come. The meals did not come out till about 9:15 and then some of the stuff delivered was not what we ordered. When we told the waiter some stuff was wrong he said that was what we told him and the error was our fault. The salmon tasted fishy. The crab legs were good and plentiful but only slightly warm. Not a great value for $60. The house salads did not look all that fresh. The spinach salad was good. Even with the restaurant almost empty, we seldom saw our waiter. We have been to this restaurant many times before and were pleased. We hope this time was an exception and will try it again. - The following 200 reviews are from the Billy Bob's Steak House & Saloon reviews archive. - Warm and reliableCliffordDined on 6/20/2014Billy Bobs is always a reliable steak house experience, from the warm welcome at the front desk to the most delicious steak and bourbon garlic sauce to die for! I had the fillet and lobster with a side of bourbon garlic sauce and sweet potato fries! 👍😀 gorgeous!!! A good wine list and good value too... With the complimentary soup, salad and bread ...well it's brilliant value! I always come here if I'm visiting Vegas and I can't remember a time I have been disappointed... If you like steak ...you'll love Billy Bobs...there's also a really nice bar with bar staff that know how to mix good quality cocktails...you can also eat at the bar too...which I did earlier in the week! A reduced menu but still enough to keep you happy 👍Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend. - Good food & serviceHappyDinerDined on 6/20/2014We enjoyed our dinner at Billy Bob's. The steaks, pasta & seafood our group ordered all were excellent. Service & ambiance were good too. Prices are reasonable. We definitely will go back again in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend. - dlnickel55Dined on 6/19/2014We stayed at Sam's Town for 5 nights. There was a special function we were guests at on Saturday night. The4 other 4 nights were we at Sam's we ate dinner at Billy Bob's. The food is always great and the atmosphere is outstanding. Our food was excellent all four nights. The staff, from the greeter and servers, to the bartenders to the waiters, everybody is trying to please the customer as best they can. This is what makes Sam's Town a destination for us. Continue to do your great service and serving excellent food! Don & Shanna Love Spokane, WA.Special Features: - ServicePickyeaterDined on 6/18/2014Our waitress was extremely rude and had a horrible attitude. She seemed like she did not want to serve us and that we were bugging her. Her demeanor to the table next to us was completely different. She smiled and even the tone of her voice was a lot nicer than the one she had with us. Her bus boy was very nice and on top of her tables. Her was getting refills, clearing plates, everything. He was great. She was not. She even tossed the to go boxes on our table and just walked away. The food was great, everyone loved it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend. - love this placeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/17/2014been coming hear for dinner for 19 years and will always come backSpecial Features: - Great night at Billy Bob'sNghthawkDined on 6/15/2014Took my father, with my mom and close friend of mine there to celebrate Father's Day. I have been there a couple of times, but not my parents, they were surprised to find the atmosphere pleasant, with a rustic décor. The food was, to say the least, outstanding. Steaks cooked perfectly - even when the server brought the wrong kind of potato, he was quick to correct the mistake. Maverick (yes, our waiter's name was Maverick!) was engaging and fun to have as a server. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will go back again.Special Features: - Great food except for one thingWesdog256Dined on 6/15/2014The only thing I gripe about the place is that it needs better bread or hot rolls and iced tea I don't care for other then that the steak was greatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend. - Great steak!JsinlvDined on 6/14/2014I have my filet cooked extra well and it still was juicy and melted in my mouth!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend. - great. place to dinelndylovesit7Dined on 6/8/2014Have been going to Billy Bob's every time we are in in Vegas, the food is great the service was excellent love itSpecial Features: - CindyDined on 6/6/2014I have always enjoyed dining at Billy Bob's.

They tried 3 different machines all with the same result. I also encountered this problem on my last visit several months ago. A restaurant that can't serve a properly carbonated soft drink has not earned my business. Billy Bob's is off my dining list.

Many believe the economy is starting to turn around when it comes to owning a home, and the Albany Board of City Commissioners say property values have increased, causing them to bring in a bit more money in taxes. "We would have $40,000 more than we would have last year but it's not a millage rate increase. The thing is we always have to pass the millage rate based on the budget, and that's what we did tonight," said Mayor Dorothy Hubbard. One of the things that can help commissioners keep the millage rate at the same level is the potential revenue brought on by the Hotel/Motel Tax increase. In March, House Bill 233 passed in Georgia, raising the hotel/motel tax in Albany from 7% to 8%. Officials say it will bring in an estimated $200,000 more that has to be spent on promoting tourism. "There are five entities from which a city or county, whoever is levying the tax, can choose to administer it and one of the choices that can be made is a private sector non-profit organization," said City Attorney Nathan Davis. The Albany Area Chamber of Commerce falls under that category and on Tuesday evening the board chose to make them one of the recipients of the extra tourism dollars. Officials say the extra money is just another way to help them keep the other taxes from going up. "If we don't have those funds, then it means that money would have to come out of city budget and there again you're talking about property taxes whereas these funds are actually earmarked just for tourism and improving tourism," said Mayor Hubbard. With tourism bringing millions of dollars to Albany, the board says it's a win-win situation for the city. Stay connected to MySouthWestGA.com as stories develop and the FOX 31 Newscast at 10 PM.

‘I take full responsibility’: David Pastrnak explained why he had to quarantine for a longer period of time "It was a really long month. I’m really happy that thing is over and I’m finally back with the guys." Bruins forward David Pastrnak spoke to reporters on Tuesday for the first time since his mysterious absence from Bruins’ camp. The 24-year-old traveled with the team on Sunday to Toronto to begin settling in for the NHL restart. Pastrnak was supposed to quarantine for 14 days after initially returning to the United States from the Czech Republic (where he spent time while the season was paused due to COVID-19). Yet he and teammate Ondrej Kase skated with a group of other hockey players in Malden prior to the end of their initial quarantine, breaking with the NHL’s Phase 2 protocol. Because of that, he and Kase had to observe another 14-day quarantine when the Bruins discovered what had occurred. “First off, I was never sick so I don’t think I did anything wrong,” Pastrnak said. “So, it was a tough bounce there and unfortunately after what happened I had to miss some time, obviously the protocol is to stay in quarantine, so unfortunately I had to be at home for a while, it’s nothing I can control.” Pastrnak apologized for the setback. “Obviously, I take full responsibility for my actions and I am sorry but [like] I said, I’m glad I’m back, I feel good out there.” .@pastrnak96 on returning to practice yesterday: "It was a really long month. Really happy that thing is over and I’m finally back with the guys." pic.twitter.com/HMAMQLQQlL — Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) July 28, 2020 Now back with the team, Pastrnak spoke about the difficulties of a quarantine that doubled in length. “To be honest, it’s been really tough,” Pastrnak admitted. “Twenty-eight days in quarantine. The toughest part about it was that I was healthy the whole quarantine, but at the same time I still couldn’t do anything. So it was really tough, and frustrating at the same time. It was a really long month. I’m really happy that thing is over and I’m finally back with the guys.” As for being back on the ice, the Bruins’ leading scorer had an unsurprising response. “It was a lot of fun,” said Pastrnak. “It’s been a long wait, and I felt really good, actually.” While there remains no word on when Kase will return to the team, Pastrnak is already back to his usual routines, including partaking in sports other than hockey. He found time for some table tennis with teammate David Krejci. Czech the volley. 🏓 @pastrnak96 | DK46 pic.twitter.com/Kbwhzg5iMZ — Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) July 28, 2020 This time, it was Krejci who emerged the winner, defeating Pastrnak 21-16. Be civil.

New beginnings been incredibly sad to gradually see the place loose some of its past charms. Whilst driving to work in the Spring we saw that it was on the market and after one or two romantic discussions, a decision to change our careers and a leap of faith, we took our first tentative step – an offer was made. Our shared vision is one of past glories. As genuine ‘locals’, we passionately believe this area needs and deserves a great place to congregate, eat, drink and chat – an experience that was on most people’s doorsteps not more than a few decades ago. We both love food but more especially a sense of community and we see the pub, The Bell, as a wonderful opportunity to combine both passions. Although we are keen to make The Bell a ‘destination’ pub, (bills must be paid after all), we’re extremely conscious that it’s Brisley’s pub. Your pub. Therefore, although we are eager to make every endeavour to ensure it is welcoming to those from afar, we are especially committed to establishing a pub for local people to congregate and enjoy. We would love to open our doors before Christmas or even the early spring, but the harsh reality is there is considerable work that must be undertaken before we welcome our first guest and ‘pull’ our first pint. To which we both ask for your patience and understanding, whilst we do our best transforming The Bell, bringing her into the 21th century as sympathetically as we can. We are sure we will have the good fortune to meet everyone in the community in time, but please do feel free to come and say “hi” if we don’t approach you first. We’ve a lot on our plate over the next few months, so you’ll forgive us if we’re seemingly preoccupied. We intend to keep everyone up-to-date as much as time will allow us, here via this Blog – so please come back every once in a while to see or hear how we’re progressing.

If you look on the bottom of any of our modules, you'll see the Open Source Hardware logo, signifying that our circuit designs are open source. Check out more information about this here. But Open Source is much bigger than just littleBits. At the most basic level, it's an approach towards intellectual property issues in general, which rose to recent prominence along with the Linux operating system in the late 1990s and early 2000s. These days, its highest-profile products for end-users are web browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Chromium (the basis for Google Chrome). It's also very popular for lower-level software like the Apache web server. You'll find Open Source software woven into many websites, and in widespread use throughout the web industry. Open Source Hardware is a younger movement, but also has some success stories. The best-known is probably Arduino, the popular electronics prototyping platform. Have a look at our founder Ayah Bdeir's bio to learn more about her previous work fostering Open Source Hardware. It's a complex movement, and we encourage you to read more about it, if you're interested. Like anything, it's got its pros and cons, and we understand it's not for everyone. But for us, it makes a lot of sense: sharing the circuit designs in our modules makes them a better tool for teaching and learning. Are there any components of littleBits products that aren't Open Source?.

2 Reviews This was an easy way to use some extra pumpkin pie filling, but didn't have that special pumpkin pie flavor that we enjoy. It was too bland, too pumpkiny, just not satisfying. I'm sorry but we really didn't care for this. I followed the recipe exactly as written but we didn't think the pie had a taste. I tried adding 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice but it still didn't have much of a taste.

Welp… Hi. I kinda stopped shopping for nail polish. I guess I felt like I had good representation of the colors that I wanted, so I just kept wearing the colors I already have (approximately *cough* 100 bottles…) I did, however, keep taking pictures of food, so there’s that. They aren’t necessarily good pictures, fair warning, but they are numerous. Feeding ourselves is a different sort of hobby. I try to keep up with whatever new ideas on nutrition come about, but don’t you feel like a nutrition claim is no sooner made than refuted? BUT: There are few food tenets that I have held onto: 1. Whole foods are best, whenever possible. 2. A variety of foods is best, whenever possible. 3. Dude, you deserve the best. To elaborate on #3, I ask you to peruse Sad Desk Lunch. When I find myself eating food like that, it’s not usually because I’m like, so busy. It’s because I’m not taking care of myself. But we all deserve care, so I’ve resolved to enjoy food, life, and lunch breaks as much as possible. I also bought a (very easily chipped) new polish. I guess I’m into glitter now? More on that if I can get it accurately photographed. Tags: food, stuff i ate Helloooo world

Yeah. I know I didn’t edit a ketchup bottle into this photo. deal. with. it. How do I begin my Monday? I rise at 3:37 am. I take an icy cold shower followed by an ice bath just so mild hypothermia sets in (that requires an internal temperature of about 95 degrees, friends and lovers). Fully iced, I go for a brisk seven mile run. I run five more miles, because I have an extra 14 minutes to blow. Once home, I read to my small cohort of chickens and collect their eggs for consumption. I throw the eggs in a blender along with the book I read to my chickens; that should make for a drink with a 1:1 ratio of protein to fiber. I send one email. Afterwords, I get rid of everything that doesn’t fulfill me, such as money. I give a sub-par TED talk about thermodynamics in relation to the Generalized Riemann hypothesis (I much prefer my TED talk about holomorphic functions, complex numbers, and gender bias couched in the sociological jargon of Zygmunt Bauman’s fluid modernity). By now it is usually 6:33 am, the time in which I make sweet love to my lover. I orgasm thrice – a standard amount for me. I ask you about your weekend and you say: “I saw too many butts.” “I didn’t do anything too crazy.” “Sometimes I count the charging stations along middle path the way Monk counts parking meters. Am I the only one who watched that show? I know I’m not alone!” “Wow!” I say. I then give you suggestions of things to do that I’ve already done a handful of times before, because I’m a superhuman like David Haller in that new FX show, Legion, which one specific person will not stop NAGGING me about.

Well, it’s over. For now. At least, the main part of it is over… There will be all the arguing and re-counting and (potentially) lawsuits over the close races for weeks still to come. I’m riveted, honestly… As is typical of elections in our country, it was just about all you could find on the news yesterday. All day… There were anchors keeping tabs on the exit polls, pundits providing (mostly meaningless and repetitive) commentary and analysis, interviews, special graphics, blah, blah, blah, on and on and on. Honestly, if you were an alien, and you landed on our planet yesterday, you would think that the election was the most important thing in the world to us. And, for a lot of people, maybe it was. I think that’s sad… I remember being in a math class in my freshman year of college. We were learning something that was a little bit complex (I don’t remember what; I was a religion major) and quite a few of the students in the class just weren’t getting it. Some were even getting audibly and visibly frustrated. Our professor, Dr. McClanahan, put down his dry erase marker (it wasn’t one of those swanky smart-classrooms with a smart-board or a smart computer or smart anything, really) and said to us, “Look, you guys are acting like getting this is the most important thing you’ll ever do with your life. It’s not. The most important thing you’ll ever do with your life is whether or not you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior. Don’t sweat this math stuff.” Bam. Instant perspective. And I think that’s something we could use today. Some people are celebrating victories, others are bummed out because their candidate lost. For the people who live and die politics, those emotions are to even greater extremes. But, regardless of how this election turned out for you (or will turn out after weeks of litigation…), the fact remains that how you voted wasn’t the most important decision you made yesterday. The most important decision you made yesterday, and make every day of your life, as a matter of fact, is whether or not you will follow Jesus. So, I hope that offers a little more perspective on things. Peace. […] me reiterate what I wrote on November 3rd: How you voted [on Nov. 3rd] wasn’t the most important decision you made… The most […] […] me reiterate what I wrote on November 3rd: How you voted [on Nov. 3rd] wasn’t the most important decision you made… The most […]

During Surgery Dr Moloney partners with leading hospitals that provide a best practice standard of patient care. He leads a large team of theatre, ward and ancillary staff from specialist areas within the hospital such as intensive care and radiology. Pre-operative procedures include cleaning the site of entry, changing into the appropriate gowns and understanding the medical history of the patient, including their last meal and current medications. During surgery Dr Moloney and the hospital staff work hard to monitor the patient and ensure the procedure is low-risk in every way. The positioning of the surgical patient is vital at this point and helps to prevent serious adverse complications. Dr Moloney uses a table known as a Jackson Frame that provides the very best support for the patient during surgery. Patients commonly stay in the recovery room for a number of hours where they are monitored post-surgery.

1. Purchase an Amaryllis kit from a local store. In winter, they are widely available. 2. Plant the bulb according to package directions. (If yours, like ours, arrives with a hard disk of "plant medium," you might want to have a discussion about how much the peat changes by volume after water is added.) 3. Place an anchor in the soil to support your rulers. We used chopsticks. 4. Tape the ruler to the anchor so that it aligns with the top of the bulb's neck. 5. Measure. Our bulb already had green growth, albeit at a weird angle. We just measured straight across at the top so as not to break the plant. I told the boys that we'd measure our plant the same way I measure them...at the tippy top! My 12yo is measuring in centimeters and had to scale a blank graph to go with his estimate for ultimate growth. My 8yo is measuring in inches, to the nearest half inch. Here are a variety of options for graphing amaryllis growth. ***This activity was created to say THANK YOU for your support this past year. I appreciate you!

Thank you! I see I'll do a research about your network card and will get back to you, about the OsX I would suggest checking the iAtkos Versions or the iDeneb version they both might have the kext you need it's just I think they have a package for TP Link, you know instead of searching a specific Kext you might find a package which contains your driver. And for DSTD umm... you can check the OsX86 forums Just use the search bar there I'm sure you could find something useful there. An STD is something you might get from having unprotected sex. It's DSDT, Differentiated System Descriptor Table. Install retail OS X, don't use distros. They are much harder to troubleshoot when something goes wrong. Any kernel extension that you might find on iATKOS or Hazard or whatever, you can find online. I tried both version from iatkos(lion and leopard) and they dont have the kext for this network card, thank you very much for your help, it will be great if i can finally manage to use os x on my pc.

IMPACT OF NEW CHEVRON CONFIGURATIONS ON MIXING ENHANCEMENT IN SUBSONIC JETS Issue Date2017-05-31 Author Mullick, Sunayan Publisher University of Kansas Format 76 pages Type Thesis Degree Level M.S. Discipline Aerospace Engineering Rights MetadataShow full item record Abstract A major contributor to the overall noise of an aircraft is jet noise – the noise generated by the gases exiting the exhaust nozzle of a jet engine. One approach to mitigate jet noise is through the implementation of chevron nozzles. In the present context, first, a baseline axisymmetric separate-flow nozzle, termed the 3BB model, with an external plug having a bypass ratio of 5 is analyzed. The specifications of this nozzle are taken from an acoustic study carried out at the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center. Then, various chevron configurations are added to the core and fan nozzles to produce three chevron nozzles. Of these, two are presented as modified versions of the conventional chevron nozzle and form the essence of this work. The third chevron nozzle represents the conventional chevron nozzle in use today. For all the nozzles considered in this study, the flow conditions used represent the takeoff environment of a contemporary subsonic aircraft. The fan nozzle total pressure is set to 1.8 atm while the core nozzle total pressure is 1.65 atm. The total temperature inside the fan nozzle is set to 333.3 K while the core nozzle has a total temperature of 833.3 K. The freestream conditions are given as: static pressure = 0.98 atm, total pressure = 1.04 atm, total temperature = 298.8 K and Mach number = 0.28. For the three chevron nozzles, the core and fan nozzles have 12 chevrons each. Each chevron extends over a sector of 30 degrees of the circumference. To carry out the study presented herein, first, computer-aided design (CAD) models of the four nozzles are created. These models are then used to carry out computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with the conditions stated above. The CFD simulations are performed on STAR-CCM+. The results of the simulations carried out for the baseline nozzle are compared with existing experimental and numerical data to validate the use of STAR-CCM+ as a tool for studying jet flows. Once this step is complete, numerical simulations are carried out for the three chevron nozzles. The results from these are compared with those obtained for the baseline nozzle. The turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and the mean axial velocity are the two main parameters that represent mixing enhancement and are focused on in this work. Since the TKE levels for a given nozzle are directly linked to the jet noise generated, the TKE is an important indication of the jet noise produced by a given nozzle. Other jet mixing parameters such as the centerline total temperature decay and the centerline velocity of the jet flow exiting each nozzle are also analyzed. A 2-D axisymmetric grid is produced for the 3BB nozzle while a 3-D mesh is generated for each of the chevron nozzles. To reduce the computation cost, only a 30° sector of the chevron nozzles is modeled. Since the Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-ω turbulence model has been widely used in several aerospace applications, it is chosen for all simulations here as well. The numerical analysis shows that STAR-CCM+ can successfully be used for the study of jet flows. Although some shortcomings do exist, the simulations provide a reasonable understanding of jet flows. Of the three chevron nozzles studied, the simulations demonstrate that in comparison to the baseline nozzle, all three chevron nozzles register peak values of the turbulent kinetic energy that are lower than that observed for the 3BB nozzle. The regions of highest turbulence also appear further upstream for the chevron nozzles. Compared to the conventional chevron nozzle, the two parametric designs presented in this work show a potential reduction in the peak values of the turbulent kinetic energy in their respective flows. A slight reduction in the mean axial velocities is also observed for these nozzles. Further, a close inspection of the turbulent flowfield of one of the parametric designs shows that the highest intensity turbulence in the flow is first observed at the most upstream location for this nozzle. The high levels of TKE are also confined to a smaller region in this case. Based on these results, the two parametric chevron nozzle designs demonstrate a potential to produce lower jet noise than what is observed in case of a conventional chevron nozzle. Finally, a study of the turbulent flowfields of all the nozzles shows that the mixing between the fan and freestream shear layers still dominates the mixing in the jet flow. However, the chevrons are able to add streamwise vortices to the flow that enhance mixing between the core and fan shear layers to some extent. This promotes better mixing and as a result, the turbulence in the jet plume is reduced. Items in KU ScholarWorks are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.

Fake IRS agents target more than 366,000 in huge tax scam The Associated Press AP | AP WASHINGTON — Fake IRS agents have targeted more than 366,000 people with harassing phone calls demanding payments and threatening jail in the largest scam of its kind in the history of the agency, a federal investigator said Thursday. More than 3,000 people have fallen for the ruse since 2013, said Timothy Camus, a Treasury deputy inspector general for tax administration. They were conned out of a total of $15.5 million. The scam has claimed victims in almost every state, Camus said. One unidentified victim lost more than $500,000. “The criminals do not discriminate. They are calling people everywhere, of all income levels and backgrounds,” Camus told the Senate Finance Committee at a hearing. “The callers often warned the victims that if they hung up, local police would come to their homes to arrest criminals must be found and brought to justice.” The IRS and the inspector general’s office started warning taxpayers about the scam a year ago, and it has since ballooned. This year, it tops the IRS list of “Dirty Dozen” tax scams. Tax scams often increase during tax filing season,

Thanks to Stacey, Tara, Anna, Betsy, Dana, Kathleen, Beth, and Deb, we keep going! I'd also like to offer a special thanks this time for all the support, work and learning shared from Tara and Anna who are leaving the group, but who will return occasionally. Best wishes to you both. Be sure to go here to Renee LaTulippe's post at No Water River for line number twenty-six of Irene Latham's Progressive Poem. There are only five lines left, and the story is still quite a mystery! Sometimes for sharing a slice of life, I am inspired to talk about a teaching time I loved. Today, spending time with my daughter, out to lunch, to various shops, I took a picture that I would have used with students if I were still teaching. All through the years there are certain topics that have inspired amazing poems. With other mentor poems, or photos, these particular subjects always, always brought great stories, usually in poem or prose poem form. When I brought in a picture to share, I also wanted students to understand that I, as a writer, was always looking for the interesting, the unusual. I wanted them to do that, too, in their everyday lives, in their travels, watching people and things. Today this is what I saw: And this is what I wrote. I encouraged students to respond in any way they chose, from the silly to the serious. And we have fun with poetry, a picture, and words. Poem # 16 With Apologies to Robert Frost Whose shoes these are I think I know; his house is down two streets or so. He’s wearing new Chuck Taylors now. In youth, all feet are wont to grow. I wonder if he gave a cheer to rid himself of that old gear. shoes with holes and broken strings, ones flung up to disappear. The new shoes keep the boy awake wondering what his friends will make of wearing them at school next day. He fears the jeers with some heartache. He lights his lamp; he cannot sleep, He nestles shoes that make him weep. The ones he wanted most to keep, the ones he wanted most to keep. I have collected lots of poems about shoes during my teaching. There are many others to be found. Here are a few titles, some you may know, hoping you can find them. If you’d like me to copy and send a file, I’ll be happy to. Pablo’s Tennis Shoes - Gary Soto Shoes - Valerie Worth The Need For Shoes - Molly Bendall Johnny Laces Up His Red Shoes - Liz Rosenberg Shoes - Cynthia Rylant My Shoes - Siv Cedering Fox Bound Feet - Janet S. Wong The most I'd want from any writing session is to take the ordinary in our lives and make it extraordinary because of the words one wrote from it. This is so much fun Linda - I love that you have found art in that image and then stolen from the masters to create this poignant poem. The contrast between joy and regret made me read it a few times just too appreciate it fully. It was a lot of fun to write, Cheriee, and I immediately thought of the old poetry times when we wrote about shoes. Thank you. The poem and the picture are wonderful. There is something about shoes. Fascinating. It reminds me of the picture book, Those Shoes Thanks, Julieanne, and I do have that picture book, which connects beautifully. Glad you reminded me! That's so wonderful Linda. Too bad we weren't teaching a the same time. I could have learned a lot with you :) Thanks, Bonnie, I do wonder about shoes that hang on wires, have seen them more than this time. Fabulous poem, Linda! I've often wondered about those shoes dangling from electric wires, but never thought to write about it! Well done! Thank you, shoes are so connected to us in many ways. I wonder too how and why they are there. I love that you shared a poem today whose opening lines were inspired by another poet. (I did the same!) Your poem is amazing Linda. I am going to go searching for those poems you list at the end of you slice. How fun that we connected in that way, Lisa. I hope you can find the poems. I'll scan and send if you need me to. Thanks! You look up at the shoes and make a poem. I look up at the shoes and say how the heck did they get there???? I ponder that too, Bernadette, but this time my strange brain went to the past poetry times. Thanks. What a poignant post you wrote today. I love that you went back into your memory bank when you saw those sneakers on the wire. And then you "borrowed" from Robert Frost to create such a touching poem that any student can relate to. Your students were doubly blessed with your eyes and your ears to serve as mentors for them. Beautiful sharing. Love this idea, Linda. I like that the students were given free reign to write in whatever genre they chose. It would be neat to have students look for and take interesting pictures and use them as a prompt for a weekly writing workshop. Thanks Barbara and Bob, I've long been a champion of choice, helping students to take challenges of different genres, but then find the one they feel comfort in, too. This is just great! When I see things like this, I always stop and wonder. And here's Eric Ode's "I Love My Shoes" Terrific! I knew some of you would know other poems or books. Thanks, Jane, will add to my collection! I appreciate that you didn't let this opportunity pass even though you are not in the classroom anymore. Keep observing, noticing, wondering, writing, sharing. I have never noticed shoe poems. Now I am sure they will start popping up. I bet they will show up, too, Terje. Whenever we are touched to notice, it seems to happen. Thank you. My kids who live in Brooklyn tell me that they often signify where drugs can be purchased. I prefer to think of other, more whimsical reasons for their presence...and so I love your take on Frost, Linda. Considering where we were at this time, Tara, that certainly could be true. What a strange world we live in! Thanks! Take the ordinary and make it extraordinary! I love thinking of writing in this way. The memoir I just told you about - Bettyville - has an interesting focus on shoes. Our library aide and I love noticing how many book covers have just shoes on them. Could make a fun display - book covers with shoes and poems about shoes! I'm sure there's a good poem out there somewhere about rain boots Oh, I wondered if that's why you texted it. It also sounds like places where I grew up, Ramona. The picture reminded me about my shoe collection of poems, and how so many students wrote such rich pieces when that was the topic. Memories? Wants & Needs to have the latest? I don't know for sure, but it was fun to write again about shoes! Thanks! That's how writers are different from others. Your shoe sighting creates a poem, others probably don't even notice the shoes hanging. My brother-in-law claims shoes dangling from wires is related to gang activity. What a sad state of life that is. I much prefer your version. The shoes dangling evidently is not a good thing, according to Tara too. I've seen them through the years, and never knew. I prefer my version, too, Elsie. Thanks! Cleverly re-purposed, Linda! Speaking of purpose, here's what the Snopes site says about the rationale for such marooned shoes: More informative, than definitive, I'm afraid. Thanks, Brian, funny how something I thought was something emotional has turned into something so different. I'll look! Actually the article made me feel better, Brian. At least everyone doesn't agree on the drug-related throwing of the shoes. Again, thanks. "The most I'd want from any writing session is to take the ordinary in our lives and make it extraordinary because of the words one wrote from it." This is such a laudable goal, Linda. Voice Matters! Thank you, Carol. It is important to me, always has been.

It was my very great pleasure to talk about hacking and the impending security disaster that is the Internet of Things (IoT) on ABC TV’s Lateline last night — and don’t I look concerned. Also joining the program was security researcher Runa Sandvik, who got plenty of media recently for hacking a smart sniper rifle. I won’t go into too many details here, because you can see the video and transcript at the Lateline website. For the next month or so, you can also watch it in HD on iView. However, this exchange surprised me: STILGHERRIAN: … Scarier though is what’s happening with smart TVs. There are millions of those around the world. They’re networked, so you can watch clips from YouTube or whatever on them or Netflix or any of the streaming services, and yet I’ve seen a young hacker from South Korea not only hack a smart TV, hack it in 10 different ways and set it up so that the camera and microphone in the TV are streaming live video and sound out to the internet while the television looks like it’s turned off. These are televisions that are being installed over the last few years and more in the future in hotel bedrooms, classrooms, corporate boardrooms. So they’re kind of like an always-on surveillance device. JOHN BARRON: I guess, Runa, the question then occurs: well, who would want to do this? Who would want to hack into somebody’s TV set in suburban Australia or the United States? The answer would probably be: well, nobody. But why would somebody want to do this? RUNA SANDVIK: There’s a mix. There’s definitely people that are doing this for sort of evil purposes, if you will, or to make money, and there are people that do it just because they can, because it’s there, it’s a possibility, it’s not as secure as it should be and they do it just to show that they can. Personally, I’d have thought that the security risks of peering into people’s homes would have been obvious, but the questions moved on before I could point out the attraction to both pilferers and perverts. Anyway, you can also read my thoughts on this in my December 2014 column, All aboard the internet of things infosec hype train, and its January 2014 predecessor, Our hackers, who art in open source, deliver us from refrigerators. Tags: abc, black hat, def con, hacking, internet of things, john barron, lateline, refrigerator, runa sandvik, tv Oh, wasn’t he sweet? Goodness, Mr Gherrian Sir! Do you mean there are people out there in the world who might do bad things? How frightening! Has anyone told the FBI? I thought you both handled him with the right level of sardonic amusement. Would have been nice to have him asking slightly less obvious questions though.

I finished up Jr. High group last night and (as I posted in the Prayer You section) they made Lenten commitments so be praying for them. But as for me I still am in the process of figuring it all out. But tomorrow, I am planning a day alone on the slopes in God's Country. It should be a good time for reflection and personal contemplation. I need to spend some serious time in meditation and solitude asking for God to right my heart and provide clarity and possibly some peace. Waking at 5 this morn was not to be misunderstood as a brisk waking, but rather a enlongated process of personal battle, having retired at nearly 2:30 after a long night of packing and cleaning the (pit of despair) room in preparation of my absence. Trying to sleep on planes and on airport benches is not the easiest thing as many of you probably know from personal experience. But nonetheless it proved worthwhile to make up for the depravity of sleep of the night before. The moment I stepped off the plane in Spokane I already felt a release of stress and overburdenedness which had be plaguing me for the last few weeks and months. 50-60 hour work weeks were taking their toll and driving me into a chasm of sorrow and doubt. I once again gleamed the light of a new day filled with the prospect of opportunity and hope that had eluded me in the dreariness of routine and labor. Within hours of my arrival I was surrounded by hospitable company and warmth. The ability to have an open schedule to my disposal was something long forgotten, the breadth of being able to do things at the drop of a hat: refreshing; Jacob's kind and gentle friendship: once more my companion; I am excited to see how the weekend is going to manifest itself. Plans began to form from days on the slopes to a viewing of "The Passion" to time with the old youth group. How glorious freedom after slavery is. I am gaining depth into the passages of scripture where Paul talks about being freed from the bounds of sin into a free life in Christ. So please continue to pray for me this weekend as I spend some well needed time away from distractions and work. More specifically about job opportunities in Ministry, the situation at WaMu, God's will for this season of my life and also the friendships that will be supporting me this weekend. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/26/2004 10:28:00 PM Wednesday, February 25, 2004 Pre-mature Eulogy So I was reading through 2 Timothy today (my scripture for the week, two days late) and I was struck by these verses. for what I'm doing for Lent, I still have yet to decide. I have some time on the plane to think tomorrow so I'll spend some time on that. I might even steal Amy's idea. I thought it was amazing. She's stellar. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/25/2004 01:29:00 PM Tuesday, February 24, 2004 There is no spoon Sorry it's been a few days since the last post. Life happens. So I'm not even sure of what all happened since last friday when I posted. I think a lot of work happened. All fri and sat seems to have been spent at work. I think I vaguely remember a meeting sometime sat afternoon at the bank, but I had to leave early due to the fact that I needed to be across the street at Jamba. I did get off early, if you call working for almost 12 hours early. And made it home to a shower and the headed over to Panda Express for some grub. Then I headed over to hang out with Valerie and it turned out to be her birthday. In the spirit of having fun we popped in Cool Runnings . Then John came over and I decided that we needed to do something special since it was Val's birthday. So what better on a rainy night than to head down to Van Nuys for some hot, delicious Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Oh sooooo wonderful!!!! So if you didn't know, I never drink milk . I use it for cereal and for making food. And on the rare occasion for dipping hot chocolate cookies in. But NEVER to drink. I don't know I've just never really liked milk. As we were sitting around the table enjoying out Krispy Kreme, I tried to muster up all of my strength and might to try and take a drink of John's milk. But try as I might, for some reason I couldn't get my mind into the position where I would be willing to drink some milk. I'm a pretty daring guy if you know me, but for once I could not make myself do something. Weird. The weekend was rounded off by sleeping in real late on sunday (I did want to go to church) due to the fact that my body needed to catch up on sleep since I had worked somewhere in the range of (50-70) hours last week. But I did manage to get up in time for MUD FOOTBALL. See since it was raining so hard Sat night, I thought to myself what would be better than to romp around in the mud playing some football. So we did. It turned out to be a real fun game and not as muddy as I'd have liked but we all got dirty enough to warrent a shower afterwards. And it rained while we were playing so that was a lot of fun just to be a little wet. Sunday night went well. It was the parent informational meeting about our upcoming mission trip to Mexico. Then we had some speakers from Royal Servants come to Jive to talk about mission opportunities. I ended up going home and gathered some sleep before getting up for work at the awful hour of 5 am. Oh not to mention that I thought I had to be at Jamba at 5:45 but didn't really have to be there until 10 am. grrrrr...so I stopped on the way home at 6 am to grab some MccyDee's b-fast, took a short cat nap and then went back to work. Was at work til 2 then got to have a 5 hour break which I mainly spent sleeping. I headed over to my mom's house because I had told her I'd move some furniture. While I was there I grabbed some lunch and took a nap. When I woke up I had a voice message from my mom saying she'd been in a car accident. Luckily it was not too bad, and she was fine, but was going over to the hospital just to get checked out. That was a relief. I moved some furniture and then headed back over to work and was there WAY later than I was supposed to be. We are scheduled to get out at 11 but we didn't leave until almost midnight. All my fault, I spent too much time training someone while we were closing and I made us get out so late. My bad, I took the reprimand this morning from my manager and all is well now. Today is still sit around and wait day at WaMu, so hopefully we will know something by the time I leave as to what the status of my employment is going to be. But I must give it to God and rely on his perfect plan. I do have to work again tonight at Jamba, which I am not looking forward to, but I do need the hours. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can; to quote a good book. What prompted me to write today was this morning when I was in the shower I was reminded that the Oscars are coming up this week and I was thinking about who is who and who got left out. Then it dawned on me that one of the most anticipated films (well actually two films) didn't even get a nod nor was talked about at all as a notable movie of 2003. And that (those) movies are Matrix: Reloaded and Matrix: Revolutions . Interesting!?!?!?! Not one word has been captured by mine ears about these two movies during this Oscar season. Was it the lackluster final plotline? The horrendous acting by Mr. Reeves ("whoa!!")? The mindboggling-not-kept-straight-circular-argument philosophy ? The disappointment of two sequels that could not live up to an unparalleled first movie? Maybe it's like the Tootsie Pop where the world may never know. So as you sit down to watch the Oscars this next sunday night, just think to yourself, "there is no spoon", "there is no spoon", "there is no spoon". And you may find yourself achieving inner peace. I am looking forward to my trip to Spokane this week. I'll be gone from Thurs to Mon, so I'm not too sure how much I'll be able to post. But for sure I'm going snowboarding at at least one of these two places, either Mt. Spokane or Schweitzer . Very stoked about that since last time I went boarding it was at Snow Summit , which honestly I was expecting a crappy day, but it turned out to be one of the best days I have had in So Cal, which says a lot, especially since I'm now a snow snob, due to the good pow (see powder) in Wa and Id . It will be good to see Jacob for sure, and then I get to see my youth group that I worked for as well as Jeni and Matt . Mainly I just hope I get a lot of time to relax and think. Prayers would be great while I'm on my mini-sabbatical. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/24/2004 09:04:00 AM Friday, February 20, 2004 Let's go fly a kite If we were playing "phrase association" many of you would probably be reminded of this lady . But I bet when you think of kites you remember sunny days in the park with maybe family members or friends. I bet you never thought this could happen...~da da dum!!!!! WHEN KITES ATTACK (a sub-division of FOX networks) oops I guess I linked the wrong address, it's fixed now. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/20/2004 11:46:00 PM five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes Is not the amount of minutes that I get on my wireless plan. You know how I posted that story about how Cingular was going to buy out Att? So after work yesterday I stopped by the local Att store to just ask a few questions about the merger, how does this affect my plan, what are the benefits, etc. Lucky me nothing really is going to change. I get to keep my plan and billing and all that jazz. I've been looking into getting a new phone for about the last 8 or 9 months. I heard that Nokia was going to be putting out this new phone around a year ago. I was stoked to hear it was coming out. Except that the price was going to be around 250. Way tooo much for a phone. I had been researching this phone over the last couple of months. And I could never really find a good deal on it. It came down to about 200 but that still seemed like too much. And then one day I was online and I saw they were giving them away if you signed up for new service. Only problem: I had EXISTING service. No discount for Andrew. Lame. When I saw that I called them up and asked if there was anything they could do to lower the price, especially since it was on special and I was an existing customer. Answer: NEGATIVE GOOD BUDDY. Once again LAME. A few days ago I got a mailer in (where else) the mail and it was advertising my phone for only 99 bucks. Bargin city!!! It still seemed a bit much especially since cash is tight. But while I was expelling my onslaught of questions to the rep at the store yesterday, I posed the valued customer. And I finally got a decent response. He said he could knock 50 bucks off the price, plus the mail in rebate and I was getting a phone for -5 dollars (I think it works out where once I get my rebate in 6-8 weeks I will have come out ahead in the deal). Working off impulse instincts I bought the phone. I am now the proud owner of a Nokia 6800 and no longer have to deal with the archaic musings of the Nokia 3360 (which is closely related to this phone ). After I got done dealing with the phone situation I headed over to my mom's house to help her set up a desk that she bought. It was fun to hang out with her for a while and I popped in the Thicker Than Water DVD . After being up since 5:30 in the morning I decided to go to a show with Amy and Justin down at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood. I'd been wanting to go to a show there for a while so I jumped on the chance to go. It's such a small and intimate venue, and when we got there it was PACKED, shoulder to shoulder. But that created a fun atmosphere. There was even a guy doing a painting while one band played. Pretty amazing. The band we went to see was The Richard Swift band . It felt like you were taking a trip back to 1922 in some speakeasy, then at times it was kinda like Bono and Tom York were sharing the stage. A totally great night of music. I finally got home around 1am. Since Richard Swift was supposed to go on at 11, but the band before them were quite the bit of stage hogs and played longer than they were scheduled to. As for the work front, it has been another *productive day at work. *Productive meaning I sat here and worked on the blog most of today. The good news is that hopefully sometime early next week I will find out my fate as it still rests in the hands of others. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/20/2004 11:19:00 AM Thursday, February 19, 2004 I want men (and women) everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer (1 Tim 2:8a) A gleam of sunlight parted the dark ominous clouds bringing hope and encouragement today. After waking at 5:30 to be at Jamba for the 3rd time this week, I roused myself out of bed. It seemed like the morning would never break the dearkness and shine its face. But no later had I become accustomed to the dark did I turn towards the windows of the store and was greeted by a brilliant view of the hills, highlighted by the early morning sun. My mind wandered from the empty store to wanting to praise the Lord and dwell in his word. Unfortunately I was unable to do so. How I love the quietness and clarity that the early morn brings. All sits still in anticipation of what is to come that day. What a moment to realize God has been working in our sleep to prepare for what we are to do in our day. It reminds me of waking up in Spokane and seeing a blanket of pure white covering the ground. Silent in the night these small flakes descended to greet us when we awoke. God's sleeplessness yields our discovery of his labor of love. And how thankful I am of that. At one point during work I got pulled aside by my manager at Jamba (if you didn't know they are working with me to promote me to an assistant manager) and he told me as an incentive for me to put in more hours to complete training for the promotion he was giving me a raise. Oh rapture!!! This helps out tremendously, it shrinks the gap in pay between jobs allowing me to be more flexible in which job gets the most of my attention. And with the way things are going at WaMu, I'm inclined to ask them for less hours so I can spend more time at the Juice. As for what will actually happen, I'm still riding the fence. Then again that all could change if I get fired. That would make the decision pretty easy. Had a great lunch with Amy, (and if you didn't know already, she's going to be one of my co-workers at Jamba) before I headed back to work at WaMu. UPDATE: Still no luck in them finding my $980, but I did get the opportunity to help on of my co-workers today. She was out of balance before she left and I got asked to go through her work and I ended up finding a small mistake that corrected the problem. That at least made me feel like I accomplished something today. Yet, the hours remain to pass, so that all could change. Don't forget to checkout Waking Ashland , help them rise among the many unsigned bands who are looking for a break. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/19/2004 02:40:00 PM Wednesday, February 18, 2004 AE and I'm not talking about a patriotic eagle Not too bad of a day. Working off of 2 1/2 hours sleep turned out to be enough to make it through the Jamba work and a workout. As for getting the loan thing taken care of, it for the most part lost out to sleep. An hour and a half worth, which was definitely not enough. Then there came the bank. Walked in expecting the worse, and ended up not having to be Mr. Walmart. I got to sit at a desk and work on files. Meaningless but not excruciating. The best part of the day was when Outback Steakhouse needed change and in addition brought over a few different appertizers. So I got to munch on a Bloomin Onion, some cheese fries and some chicken wings. Mucho Bueno. Jr High went well. Amy wasn't feeling well tonight so John took over and did an excellent job at holding down the fort. It was wear RED night and Converse night. What fun!! After, John and I headed over to the gym AGAIN. And did some work on our biceps and backs. I'm sore. We topped the night with some food from Subway . And then headed over to John's house for the final night of CELEBRITY MOLE. (dramatic pause) Well as it turns out Miss Angie Everhart was the MOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So sorry Amy, not only was Mark Curry NOT the mole, he didn't even win. I won't rub it in. But throughout the night Amy did once again suspect all 3 of the remaining players as the Mole. Quite fun to watch. That's enough for tonight, I've posted a lot today, so be sure to click on the BOLD BLACK words to check out fun links. I have to get up at 5 again to go to work. But since I do not to much at the bank I'll try and steal some time to post tomorrow. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/18/2004 11:34:00 PM Obviously, or someone please prove me wrong Read This thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/18/2004 04:46:00 PM Just a reminder In case you forgot Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" comes out exactly 1 week from today. I have great expectations for this movie. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/18/2004 03:58:00 PM 5K, no I only wish I was talking about money So I worked the opening shift at Jamba again from 5:45 to 8. Not too long but good motivation to be up and doing things for the day. After work I headed over to the gym for a bit of a workout. I was walking up and who else did I run into, but my workout partner John "I hate to go" Bowling. He was finishing up his workout. He had just done a spinning class and was working on abs. So I joined him for that. Last night I made a commitment to run a 5K today. That's kilometers for those of you who aren't familiar with the metric system. By the way that's 3.1 miles. So I got on the treadmill and pumped it up to 7.5 on the dial (it's actually a small digital readout). It was hard, it turned into a mental game, and joyfully I made it. I was shooting for a consisent 8 min mile. And I think my final time was around 23 1/2 min. Which isn't too shabby. I stepped it up at the end and did some sprinting. I almost died near the end. Now I have some time to kill before I get back to work. So I need to call a loan company to consolidate my stupid STUDENT LOANS. On a side note, have you seen that commercial for Lending Tree with that Stanley Johnson guy??? So HILARIOUS. "I'm in debt up to my eyeballs...somebody help me." (all with this huge smile on his face) Great TV. Sorry I couldn't find a site where you could watch it. And I need to take a nap and read through 1 Timothy again. I'll try and post later tonight after the finale of Celebrity Mole. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/18/2004 10:13:00 AM Tuesday, February 17, 2004 I've decided on a career choice: WalMart Greeter So I sit here finally working on the Blog again, since my last post was Thurs. I apologize. But I said to myself that I would definitely work on the Blog and catch people up on the last few days. Here I sit upon my burdened soul, tired and exhausted, wanting to expunge my musings and emotions. But alas I am able to relax and enjoy some exquisite food from Zankou Chicken which includes some wonderful hummus and pita bread, what a late night snack at 11:20 pm. In addition, for my viewing pleasure I am observing the almighty Simpsons . Let's back track to last week, around Fri. So I ended up working all day and then all night as well, spending my Friday night at Jamba Juice until 11 pm. But I was able to convince some friends (Valerie, Kerri, Brian and a few others) went down to the local arcade and spent some time playing DDR (dance dance revolution) see this post for some cool videos of foolios dancing the night away. It was a nice wind down from a long day of work. I was then ready for the BIG day which I told you all that I'd tell you about on Sun. So it was a huge FARCE. I really had Amy going that I actually had a date and had was going out for a day and night on the town. She came up to me Sunday morning begging me to tell her who the lucky lady was. I had to confess that I spent the WHOLE ENTIRE day at work. Some of the day at Washington Mutual and then the eternity at Jamba , so I finally got home around 11:30 pm to find my comforter and bed eagerly awaiting my presence. Sorry to disappoint those who had the hopes that I might have actually had a good V Day. All said and done Sat wasn't the worst day ever, I enjoyed the work (at least at Jamba) and I didn't have to relish in the loneliness of (as my friend likes to call it) Single Awareness Day. As for Sunday, that turned out to be a nice day spent with friends and wonderful fellowship. After church we all headed out for lunch at Baja Fresh to support our men's ministry at church, they were having a fundraiser. We headed back to church for a back and forth game of ultimate frisbee . A total blast, the wind wasn't too much of a problem and the weather blessed us with some sun and a comfortable setting for a great game. Doug came and played with us (he's Danni the new associate pastor at our church's husband) he's a great athlete and I really enjoyed his competitiveness. I think we are going to get along great in the future. Sunday night I did the Jive (high school group) thing. Danni's 2nd week went well, she gave a great talk and I hope that the students begin to respect her leadership and desire to grow and learn from her wisdom. After group Danni, Doug and Betsy went out for some food at Outback Steakhouse . On a side note I had a pretty crappy experience there, the conversation was great and I got to know Danni and Doug a bit better, but the steak I ordered came over cooked, so I sent it back, but when it came back, 20 min later, it was now undercooked and I couldn't wait the extra time to send it back again, so I just bit my tounge (not literally) and ate a undercooked steak and went home pretty unsatisfied. So Monday was President's day, so that meant BANK HOLIDAY!!!! But despite my ability to take a whole day off, I was scheduled to work at Jamba that night, so I moved my shift around and ended up working the opening shift, which meant that I was up at 5 in the morning to go to work. Although I was up before the sun, I ended my work day at noon and had put in 6 hours at Jamba and the 4 hours of holiday pay at the bank. So good for me. I felt very productive. After I got off work, I did some shopping for a few things. I'll explain that in a few. Then I ended over at the girls' house and was hanging out with Michelle, Kelsey, Amy and their new roommate Christina, who happen to bring with her, noneother than CARPET, so now their house seems bigger and will help it not be so frigid. It was about lunchtime so Kelsey and I went out for some chinese food. We just had some great conversation and hang out time. Then I returned to my errands. So I initially went to Target to find some shampoo. Actually I went to find the Tropical Coconut shampoo and of course they didn't have the size bottle I wanted so I ended up going over to the local Rite Aid hoping they would have the size I was looking for. After getting my ice cream cone (it was butter pecan, yummy) I ventured to find the shampoo. Results = NONE. I decided to not make my trip a waste I went to pick up some laundry detergent. After paying I decided to check out a local Sav-on to see if they finally had the shampoo. BINGO!!!! They did, and as I was walking out I happened to walk past the laundry detergent isle. And to my surprise I found a better deal. Two 100 oz bottles for only 7 bucks, as compared to my one 100 oz bottle for 5.95. So what did I do?? I bought the better deal and then had to drive BACK to the Rite Aid to return the other detergent. So after WAY too much trouble I finally had all the necessary items of my errands. I finally retreated home to find some rest before heading out for the evening. I took a nice nap, how glorious. After the nap I ventured out to Hollywood with Angela to check out Tyrone's weekly show at Room 5 . It was a great night, aside from the extra loud crowd that was pretty distracting. There was a B-day party that was making quite a lot of noise, but overall it was just a very social evening. Which was a bit annoying and even talking to Tyrone, he said it was the loudest night that he could ever remember. It felt like most people weren't focused on the music. Bummer man. Totally a fun evening. Then there was TODAY, Tues Feb 17th 2004. Well let's start when I got into work at the bank. So if you have been following you know that last week I ended up with a slight problem. I was missing $980. How? Why? Only God knows. But as a result a can't touch cash, have been relieved of most of my duties and today was the WORSE. I got demoted to WalMart Greeter . I spent my ENTIRE day at work standing near the door of our branch saying "Hi, how are you today?", "Good morning", "Thank you for coming in", "Thank you, have a great day", or "Bye, we'll see you again". How enthralling!!!! (sarcasm) I wanted to cry, leave, break something and everything in-between. And I get to do it all over again. And the worse part is that tomorrow I'm scheduled from 1:30 pm to 6:30 pm. And I'm supposed to be at Jr High group at around 5 pm. And since I'm not valuable to anyone since I can't do anything, I asked if I could come in early so I could leave early. And what response did I get? "Sorry, I can't do that, I will only have 2 tellers at close." My response was "Exactly, you will have only 2 tellers regardless if I'm here or not, since I can't do anything." So I left with a chip on my shoulder. Not always the best thing. I had a few hours to kill before going back to work at Jamba, so I stopped by the church to say hi to the peeps. And then had some lunch and a nap and then went back to the ol' 9-5 (actually 7-11) but you know what I mean. So then once I get to work I had to deal with a few problems including having to deal with a scheduling problem, so now I get to go into work at 5:45 am, which means getting up at 5 am again. And it is now 1:25 am on Wed morning. So I should get to bed so I can feel rested for a day of work and such. But I am excited for the final CELEBRITY MOLE . The MOLE will be REVEALED as ANGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On a final note, I have 2 more things. 1st: I'm totally pissed off that Cingular is buying out AT&T . So now I'm worried that my wireless plan is going to get all screwed up and such. 2nd: Today has been promote this great band day. They are called Waking Ashland and their music can be heard here . Please go and check them out. I really like their sound. I hope that they find the break to make it in such a hard industry. Go and listen to their songs and help them boost their way up on the rating list on the purevolume website. I'll post some shorter stuff tomorrow. I apologize for the long post. So much has happened since last Thurs. But now you are caught up. Enjoy and be blessed. P.S. My scripture for the week is going to be 1st Timothy , please keep me accountable and ask my how the readings have been going. P.P.S. Don't forget to use the Prayer Me tab on the right side to post your prayer requests. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/17/2004 11:03:00 PM Thursday, February 12, 2004 A mole, living in a hole / Digging up my soul So contrary to popular belief (well actually contray to my own belief) last night was not the last night of Celebrity Mole . The show boiled down to the last possible moment before the Mole was revealed. How frustrating. I don't even know why it bothered me. It's only a TV show for crying out loud. I hate to be one who is so suckered in so that when the show is over, I verbally express my discontent in the end, being so anxious for what is to come next week. I thought I'd not drop to that level. Or at least not about a show like Celebrity Mole. But it definitely was an enjoyable day and evening. I totally felt productive. Getting the Bolg working was a good thing. Taking care of things at the DMV went as well as could be expected. And work wasn't too horrible, except for making a mistake that could get me fired *see prayers. But then getting over to church to be with the Jr Higers absolved all the stress of work. Making it to the gym with John was a totally relaxing and needed experience (though working my butt off isn't exactly relaxing, but working out is something I do need to do more). Then there was the Mole, let me just re-cap that part of the evening. Amy was a blast to watch, as she at least one point during the show she had each of the 3 remaining players pegged as the Mole. She was plagued by the air of doubt, but I think all said and done she was sticking with her pick of Mark Curry, but I do have to publicly proclaim that Angie Everheart will emerge as the Mole next Wed at 10pm on ABC. (yea for shameless plugs, I think ABC owes me a check, I'm sure they'll say it's in the mail) After we got done watching the Mole, John, Bill and I had a fairly good discussion about this kinda obscure passage in Exodus 4:21-25 . It kinda seems like it doesn't fit. But all in all we shared some great insight as we talked through it. Today was a bit more disconcerning, since I let the work thing get to me. The shadow of doubt was looming over me the most of the day which made things a bit harder. But focusing on God really puts things in perspective. As I've continued to read James these verses have been a comfort to me. I just wanted to comment on V-day a bit. Since it seems this year to be more of a prominent occasion. I've got some amazing plans for this weekend. I really can't wait to enjoy the festivities. Saturday is so jammed packed with things that I've planned I can't even begin to describe all I'm going to do. And believe it or not, I've asked a special lady to join me in all the festivities. Let me tell you about her, she's so amazing and kind. Her heart for the Lord is something to be admired. Her willingness to put other's needs before her own, her compassion, her humbleness, and she likes me!!!! The whole enchilada. You'll just have to wait until sometime sunday afternoon for me to post about it, since sat night I'll be to tired to write about it. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/12/2004 07:30:00 PM Wednesday, February 11, 2004 Now serving number B076 Time of arrival at the DMV 9:09 time of departure 10:23. All in all not to shabby especially since I didn't get my number till 9:43. As you can see the new prayer link is working. So use it. I've fixed the colors some so you can see where you need to type and all that stuff. Anywhoo, things to do today: Buy plane tickets to Spokane to go and visit Jacob Feb 26 - Mar 1, go to work, listen to the new Norah Jones CD as much as possible, go to Surge, work out with John, and then celebrity mole. Pretty jammed packed since I've been up since around 6 this morning. So you see I had to complete a few pieces of paperwork for work (Jamba) so I got home last night at around 11pm. Grabbed my computer and headed over to Denny's for some dinner and to work on these projects. Let's just say 3 hours later, about 5 cups of coffee later, and 3 single spaced pages later, I finally got home. I was able to get to bed fairly quickly but boom about 6 this morning, caffinene HIGH. So it's been a productive day. Already read through James again. I think my goal for the week is to read it at least once a day it's such a short book but so filled with practical living advice. I'll let you know some of the things that have stood out to me later this week. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/11/2004 10:50:00 AM IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!! Super dooper PROPS, to Kathryn for helping me. Truly God has gifted her with mucho talents. I'll fix color issues later today or tonight, but feel free to start posing prayers. I'm off to the DMV , AGAIN, so I'll be back...NEVER. Oh one more thing, the Celebrity Mole finale is on tonight. Join us at Amy's house tonight at 10pm to watch as my pick (Angie) is revealed as THE MOLE!!!! *ADDENDUM: I guess this week is the 2nd to last week, so that only means more hilarity and intrigue. Be blessed today and let God's grace and blessings be apparent to you today. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/11/2004 08:46:00 AM Ok, so I broke my blog. Kinda. If you notice there is now a new heading on the right side called "prayer requests", the theory behind this is you can post comments / "prayer requests" and others can pray for you. So i've spent about 2 hourns now trying to make it work. Guess what??? IT DOESN'T!!!!! I emailed the guy who makes the program and we'll see if he can help. Otherwise unless one of you knows how to make it work. (I think the problem is it is trying to look for a '$blogitemnumber$', but obviously there isn't one since it is not located in the blog posting section) ( Kathryn I'm looking to you for help on this one, if you read this, since you are a better computer geek than I) I'll try to get this up and working as soon as possible. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/11/2004 07:45:00 AM I'm a robot, I'm a robot, I'm gonna talk like a Robot... Try and dance like this thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/11/2004 02:23:00 AM Tuesday, February 10, 2004 I almost peed my pants. When I saw this about STAR WARS , I seriously almost peed my pants or worse. This is almost cooler than wanting to see Episode III which doesn't come out till may 2005. Anyways I'll be sitting outside of a Best Buy on Sept 21st waiting and waiting and waiting. Laptop in hand ready to do some watching. Better ask for the day off now. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/10/2004 12:50:00 PM No means No (sometimes) So I had gotten the night off from Jamba Juice so I could work on personal things and take the night and go down to Hollywood to see a show. But I caved. I ended up telling Jamba I would be there this afternoon to help out. So I signed up for 4-8. That gave me some time to go and run errands. I ended up not wasting 5,000,000 hours at the DMV. I only spent about 15 min there. Sad thing is though I have to go back. I wasn't prepared to surrender my plates (meaning I didn't have a freakin wrench to take the screws off!!!!!!!! grrr...) So that means I get to go back tomorrow, take a number and let my brain cells slip into oblivion as they are slowly mutilated by the incessant murmur of the DMV. Oh JOY!! But back to Jamba drama. So I ended up staying until almost 9. Remember how I only was going to stay till 8?? Yeah, well, no. I ended up having to take care of some diciplinary items, which was not easy nor unemotional. The only good thing was that Amy had an interview with the manager and 4 other applicants. It was cool to eavesdrop and watch her do her magic. *on the down low* she did a great job!!! So that was the one encouraging part of that experience. Off to do it tomorrow. So I finally made it down to hollywood to see Tyrone , Mike and Jay play their weekly show at Room 5 . As always it was a great show. I ended up hanging with Tyrone, Mike and Jay at the bar after the show. Tyrone and I took some time and caught up with eachother. He told me he was currently working on a worship album to be released sometime this year. I was stoked to hear that. He's truly a down to earth kind of guy, really approachable and easy going. You need to check his music out. I let him borrow my Alexi Murdoch CD. He said he'd had heard of him but just hadn't had the time to check it out. It will be cool to hear what he thinks of it. On a random note. Norah Jones' new album comes out today!!!! Been hearing tons of little snipits on KCRW for the past 2 weeks. Let me tell you it sounds so amazing. One of the 1st things I'm gonna do tomorrow afternoon. That and the DMV . Well I really should stop staying up so late doing this stupid thing. Since I'm sure all of 3 people actually read it on a regular basis. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/10/2004 01:49:00 AM Monday, February 09, 2004 Shooting some B-ball outside of the school So yesteday was a great day. Had some great worship at church during the 11th Hour , I always love the fellowship of 1st Pres Granada Hills , kudos to Bill Sperry, Angela Michael and the rest of the worship band. The true meaning of worship has been on my mind lately, especially about what we do as corporate worship. Thinking about how this time is supposed to be a time of renewal and encouragement after a long week of being in service of the Lord. More and more I have been trying to view worship as a time for myself to fellowship with other believers and find out how they were working for the Lord during the week and how we really need this time to come together to be strenghtened. Sunday worship is not ever a obligation or a "I feel good time", I truly believe that worship should be for the tired, weak and broken, a place where we can be vulnerable and find the grace of other sinners. I love the image of the desert fathers, after being in solitude, prayer, fasting and spiritual warfare for a week in the desert, these men would gather and be encouraged and fellowship with song and prayer. I am also reminded of the new testament church as we see in Acts. How all these believers would be out during the week serving, healing, traveling, spreading the news of Christ and worshipping Christ everyday. And then the time of corporate worship would be that time of sharing, praying and empowering for those who were out in the world working. I have become dismayed that corporate worship has just become this ritual or a time that people come and listen, I think that this time should be a call and response, the pastors call us to do something or teach us something and then we are to go out and apply and do what we were taught or called to do. I would love to see this model used today, and for more people to be willing to accept and practice this model. Instead of the come, sit, leave, do nothing model. *on a side note, as part of our Jr High advisor day, we watched this video about churches around the world and this one church in Africa struck me. After the service they would leave dancing and joyful ready to do the work set before them. How many times does everyone just file out of church and walk to their cars or over to the coffee pot. I want to see people dancing in the streets rejoying that they just had the opprotunity to worship the Lord with all of their hearts and then I want to see them continue to worship all throughout the week never ceasing to reconize the glory and wonder of Christ's love. But enough ranting and such, I had another great day on Sunday. Oh how I appreciate the weekends where I don't have to work. Even though Jamba called me to work I told them NO!!! I have limits too. I really need to be strict about saying no about work and yesterday was a good case in point. After church we played a great game of basketball in the back parking lot. Right after that John and I took a dip in the hot tub at his apt. Oh baby, oh baby. It almost got to the point where I didn't want to get up to go to High School group. But nonetheless, I went. It was Danni's first night as director and she gave an awsome testimony about how God has been moving in her life. I'm excited to see how she's going to focus this group towards loving Christ and serving others. Well now I'm off to stand in line at the DMV for like 4,000,000 hours. Tonight I'm headed down to see Tryrone Wells at room 5 in hollywood. You should check it out. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/09/2004 10:14:00 AM Sunday, February 08, 2004 If only I was really asian Bruce Lee 2 3 4 has got to be one of the coolest guys, if only I was asian... If only I could do this. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/08/2004 02:35:00 AM And I'm Hungry Like A Wolf... What a great Saturday...First of all no work!!! Second, we had an amazing Jr High meeting. Just us leader folk. We spend a good time thinking and praying about our communities and trying to figure out what strongholds need to be broken in order for God's work to be done. Prayer can be an amazing thing if we allow our selves to intercede on the behalf the Father himself. If only more Christians would be willing to take seriously their commitment to be people who are unashamed to proclaim the name of Christ, we for sure would see a different climate of culture here in America. A revolution and revival of deep spirituality and prayer that effects change is wholly possible if we take the responsibility to pray for and with each other to break the bonds of slavery that satan holds over us, not allowing us to live up to our potentials of followers of Christ. All in all if you want to hear more about what we talked about feel free to ask. But if you want to be praying for us, just know that some of he issues we were thinking were strongholds on Jr Highers and our community were: The lack of family involvement, not only in spiritual growth but also in investing in each other; the secretness of our culture, our unwillingness to completely be vulnerable with each other; the sexual onslaught of LA and the valley as well as the culture; the social standards which young boys and girls are held to and the resulting self-images that these students live with; the lack of prayer for and about what God is capable of doing in our communities and lives; and finally that God would bring about a revival in our community and our nation. Revelations 3:14-22 After our meeting we had a great lunch at Fresh Choice where we stuffed our faces and left feeling tired but ready to shop. Since we all were going over to the Lofgren's (Jamie and Karen) for Jamie's 26th B-day party that was themed the 80's, we all needed the correct garb. So where else to shop for circa 1983 clothing than The Goodwill ? I personally found a cheap rip off a Members Only jacket. But it looks oh so cool. Then Amy helped me find a pair of WAY too short, shorts from the women's section and I topped off the outfit with a white with brown striped polo shirt. For my hair doo for the night I resurrected the Mohawk or Mohawk . Granted mine didn't look as cool as this one but you get the point. What a radical looking dude was I. All of the getups were fly 'G'. I got to cook tonight as well. What a blessing. Definitely don't get to do that enough. Didn't get my recipe from FoodTV.com tonight but I got to do some steaks and some roasted potatoes and then made some wicked Mac and Cheese. No, not the Kraft kind but homemade kind. But I gussied it up with some Kilbasa sausage and carmalized onions with a bread crumb topping. I think it was a hit, people said they enjoyed it. Amy couldn't keep her paws off of it even before it was time to eat. It was a good night with friends and good 80's music. I stayed a little late and Jamie and I enjoyed a little game of darts with his new dart board. What a great day. I even got a nap earlier in the afternoon. How great is that!!! Hopefully Sunday will be as relaxing and Christ focused as today was. Be blessed in your conversations and do not be ashamed to proclaim the name of Christ to all whom you encounter. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/08/2004 12:33:00 AM Friday, February 06, 2004 I hate WORK!! Seriously, never ever, ever get a job at a bank. Unless it involves being able to walk away with all the money and have no consequences. I HATE WORK. I'm at work writing this...I'm getting paid to blog. Guess that makes me a professional blogger. But I had a great morning with Jamie, Bill, Mark and Steven the best 7 year old golfer (he's not that great but he was giving ME hints on my golf swing) at the driving range before they went to play a round. Which incidentally, lasted from 10:40am until around 4:30pm. I saw Bill after and all I have to say is LOBSTER is not his color. At this point in the evening I will get a 30 sec drive across Devonshire to head to Jamba Juice for another stint at work. HOW FUN!!!!! But all in all I really can't complain. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's festivities: Jr. High leader day and Jamie's 26th 80's Bday bash. If you get bored...I'll be at Jamba till 10pm come and visit. Oh and in case you were wondering I didn't get any work done last night. The other post for today is proof of how my time was spent. ~ smack that penguin thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/06/2004 05:53:00 PM Try this!!! Fun Game my high score was 532.9 click once to release then a 2nd time to "do your thang" Props to my bud James Fischl for the heads up. (his best 593) thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/06/2004 01:25:00 AM Thursday, February 05, 2004 Fun on a thursday night! So I finally had a night off of work. No Jamba Juice so I decided to hang out with friends. Only problem...everyone seemed to be doing something already. But then came John to the rescue. We started out the night just hanging out watching Steve Harvey's Big Time with this guy who is world air guitar champion and a 700 pound sumo wrestler. Quite oddly amusing. Although it was not enough to seize the moment of a night off work. We tossed around the idea of pool but couldn't think of a quality place to play. So we decided on Sherman Oaks Castle where we could hit a few in the batting cages. So I called up the roomie (Joseph "the Dragon" Liu) and the tres amigos headed out like a baby. We picked up some sticks and clocked a few. Got a nice blister on the left palm cause I gots the Kung Fu Grip. It was fun, be it we were in the 50 mph cage. Then we headed inside for some arcade action. Some classics like Super Off Road and the infamous DDR (dance dance revolution) (check out these videos to see some wicked dancing) I'm that good, you know. If I was really asian I might be. But white boys can't jump or dance for that matter. Therefore proving I really am white. After all was said and done we made a stop at In-N-Out . I had a scrumptious Neapolitan shake and some fries. Didn't know they served Neapolitan shakes? Now you know. Check out this PARTIAL list of the secret menu . Now I'm procrastinating from doing actual work, like filling out application for youth ministry jobs. So now I am going to attempt that. I'll post tomorrow after a long day of work. But I get to go the driving range with some boys tomorrow morning and then work a 12 hour day. It'll be worth it to get no sleep again, since I only got 4 hours last night cause I was playing with this stupid thing. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/05/2004 11:37:00 PM I found this rather amusing... especially since I work at a bank and all. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/05/2004 03:22:00 PM Update So I think I have all of this stuff worked out. I've got the comments set up so leave a message as a few already have. Thanks. Also I got all of my color schemes in place so when you click on links and such they turn different colors and stay that way, I think they are all uniform at this point. I spent the better part of the morning at work just trying to get the entire background color to be the same. Finally!!!! I will be adding more links soon as well as other fun things and musing in the life of Andrew. I think I may create a small place for prayer requests to be posted on the site if I can figure out how to do that. But stay tuned, I'm losing a lot of sleep for this. Tonight may just be another late night. PS check out my rant on Amy's blog (in the comments 2/4) to see what I have to say about the show "the MOLE" thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/05/2004 02:39:00 PM I'm up wayyyyyy tooooo late for my own good. Well I've gained some basic knowledge about how to use this thing. As you can see from my last post it's been quite some time. And honestly I've been messing with this thing since then. I'm beginning to learn this CSS language which is a version of HTML. Guess I need to learn that too. I'll just do that in all my spare time. Since I have that comming out of my ears. (splat) [that's sarcasm for you]. I think I'm going to work on some comment things then maybe call it a night. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/05/2004 03:18:00 AM Wednesday, February 04, 2004 Selling out to the blogger man. Howdy! Well actually I've been doing this for years, I finally found this thing called the internet so I decided to try and make it happen, people got tired of having to come over to my house to look at the chalk board that kept my random thoughts and then if they missed one it wasn't like I could bring it back up since I had erased it the day before. thoughts of Andrew Seely 2/04/2004 11:59:00 PM

The. The 11.57 meter long boat recently moved to the Adriatic from the Tyrrhenian Sea, where in 2014 it had already won the prestigious Panerai Trophy in the “Classic” category. Namib, of the shipowner Pietro Bianchi, defended the colors of the Yacht Club Parma. The Trophy,organized in collaboration with the Venice Yacht Club and under the patronage of A.I.V.E., the Italian Association of Vintage Sails. Twenty-five participating yachts, divided into four categories (Epoca, Classici ‘A’, Classici ‘B’ and Spirit of Tradition) that took part in this event created with the aim of promoting the Principality of Monaco in terms of sport, tourism and cultural. Regatta Judges Emilia Barbieri and Gianfranco Frizzarin of the Sailing Club Portodimare. Serenity of 1936, which defended the colors of the Circolo Velico Conegliano, established itself among the ‘Epoca category’, preceding Pia of 1947 and Santa Maria di Nicopeja of 1901. A winner among the Classics ‘A’ was Naïf, the sloop built in 1973 for Raul Gardini from the Carlini shipyard of Rimini based on a project by the American Dick Carter. The boat ran for the Circolo Velico Ravennate and preceded in the ranking other glories of sailing such as Al Na’Ir III of 1964 and Sagittarius of the Navy. Among the Classics ‘B’ the victory went to Namib, who won both races in its category preceding Nembo II (Yacht Club Adriaco) and Al Na ’Ir II (Yacht Club Hannibal). Finally, in the Spirit of Tradition category the victory went to the One Tonner Mozart, which preceded Isabella and Agos. This VII edition of the Trophy, second stop of the “Coppa A.I.V.E. of the Adriatic “2019, saw the participation of the Italian Navy with the” Sagittario “Sailing Navy boat now assigned to the Sailing Section of Venice -” Francesco Morosini “Military Naval School and used mainly with training tasks for students Institute. We have reached the seventh edition of the Trophy, the fifth for the vintage sails underlines Anna Licia Balzan the event grows and is renewed every year. Also for this edition we have been able to count on the important support of BNL-BNP Paribas Private Banking. The Principality of Monaco and sport, which has always been promoted in person by Prince Albert II, is a source of inspiration for initiatives like this that are an important tool for strengthening the links between these two realities. In my consular work I am trying to creating a bridge between Venice and the Principality, through the tourist-cultural promotion of the respective territories. Venice must aim for excellence and great events like this are the most correct way to do so concludes the Consul. “I am satisfied – comments Mirko Sguario, YCV president – because we have registered the presence of many boats, many of which are important and above all new registered shipowners. The event grows from year to year, is always better known and has all the potential to be able to figure out among events of long tradition”. The event then ended with the prizegiving in the frame of Marina Santelena. To the first 3 classified for each of the four categories and the Overall went the prizes by the prestigious Barovier & Toso Glassware brand. For the second consecutive year, Radio Monte Carlo was the media partner of the event alongside other major brands such as Diadora, Nature’s and Vehrnier.

This is entitled CAS poppies…for those of you who aren’t familiar with the term CAS – it means using a Clean And Simple design. Using a standard A2 card base, I inked up my floral images with several markers in shades of pink and green and lightly spritzed them with water before stamping. Hence the term, spritzed watercoloring. Then a added a few dots of Stickles for a little bling. And finally, I used an embossing folder, just along of the edge of the card, for a little texture. A very simple design and very simple to make card…about 10 minutes in total. Sometimes I like to leave a card without a sentiment so that it can be used for many different occasions.

WASHINGTON — Four U.S. on Thursday of the criminal charges filed against them, the Navy said. The charges include assault, aggravated assault, maltreatment of detainees, failure to report maltreatment of detainees and soliciting others to commit an offense. All are punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The Naval Criminal Investigation Service investigated the case. Seven Army military police soldiers have been charged with abusing prisoners at Abu Ghraib, and charges are expected against others in the Army, but the cases announced Friday are the first against members of the Navy. The Navy did not say how many cases were filed against each of the individual SEALs. Nor did it say how many instances of detainee abuse were involved, although it said one instance was the death of Manadel al-Jamadi, who was captured by a SEAL team on Nov. 4, 2003. Al-Jamadi was thought to have been connected with an attack on a facility of the International Committee of the Red Cross. In detaining al-Jamadi, a SEAL subdued him by hitting him on the side of the head with the butt of a gun, according to an Army report released last month. Two CIA personnel brought al-Jamadi to Abu Ghraib and put him in a shower room with a sandbag on his head. He was dead 45 minutes later. An autopsy determined that he died of a blood clot in his head that was probably the result of being struck with the firearm, the autopsy said. A day after al-Jamadi died, U.S. personnel sneaked the body out of the prison on a stretcher, disguised so the dead person would appear to other inmates only to have been sick, the Army report said. The Navy investigation is still examining circumstances of another detainee’s death, in April 2004. Other sailors may face disciplinary action when that case is finished, a Navy official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the continuing investigation. © 2013 The Associated Press.

Push agenda, expose GOP tactics, Obama implores Democratic senators - | WASHINGTON - In a blunt election prescription for his own skittish party, President Obama implored Democratic leaders yesterday to swing big, be honest with an angry public, and expose any GOP obstructionism. “We still have to lead,’’ Obama told Democratic senators in a pep talk that unfolded on live television. That comment his agenda and helping his party keep control of both houses of offered specific tactical guidance to a room full of senators with decades of election experience, including a handful who face difficult campaigns this year and got most of the camera time with the president. The president said lawmakers should do more business in the public eye; tell voters honestly that some problems will take a long time to solve; stop listening to cable TV shows that obsess about Washington’s politics; make a case for overhauling health care without getting bogged down by insider minutia; and call out Republicans when gamesmanship holds up votes. Obama said he’s still confident the American people will reelect leaders who do the right thing and explain it well. The election season could be hard for Democrats. The party in power traditionally sustains midterm losses, and the public is in a sour mood..’’

- 48 - Sphinn It! Posted By: Jill 332 saw this first in the HR industry when competitors were getting all these "awards" that I was missing! Come to find out you had to pay thousands to even be looked at! Hell no. I'll take my top-notch software and sell it the old fashioned way. Sad to see this is moving into the SEO industry. You'll never catch me paying for an award. It's in every industry.. Our small local airport paid $5,000 to be one of the top 5 airports in the US instead of using the money to rebuild a couple of hangers.. US News & World Report publishes "Top Docs" every year. The best doctors, picked for you by other doctors...who would they go to or send their loved ones to for medical care? I know a guy voted Top Doc who never sees patients, has always been an administratr (not a care giver), but also happens to be very powerful politically in the medical licensing area for his state. Did the doctors vote him "Top Doc" because they would send their loved ones to him for medical care? Yeah right. Perhaps most pathetic is the way he ordered several wood-mounted copies of this "achievement" for display outside his office, inside his office, in the hallway... This is why awards don't mean squat Jill!! The important thing is that we need to educate all people that these awards are often BULL, being in SEMPO doesn't mean anything more than you paid right? Not to pick on SEMPO, but I think the perception of many people is oh if you company is: Sempo Google certified TopSEOs rated award award award That you are good, that is just flat wrong, so how can we educate people to not over hype the importance of these things? So let me get this straight - I, an up and coming SEO with still so much to learn, can shell out a few thousand dollars to suddenly appear as a "TOP SEO" or a "Most Dependable SEO" to Mr. and Mrs. Unsuspecting Consumer without having to worry about references, a proven success record, case studies, etc.? Hey, I'd do that.... if I were a douche bag! I'm glad to see that this is one community that tries to police itself. Having been burned in the past by quacks, SEO had a bad rap around several of the companies I've worked for. It makes it really hard to sell yourself, but it also means you have to be better than most. Thanks for calling this out! Great article! I always thought the categories at TopSEO was paid. But it makes me wonder why do people pay for an award? Why not prefer to actually be awarded the award by someone instead of paying for it? And if you pay for the award are you actually just sponsoring the award instead of being the recipent of the award? Because they have the money in their marketing budget to do so. It's not bad marketing for those that do believe those things, and there are many out there. I imagine the companies willing to shell out the bucks get a good return on their investment or they wouldn't keep doing those things. It's unfortunate, that it gives the perception that those companies with the biggest marketing budget are truly the best, but I guess that's what marketing is all about. Making your company appear to be the best. Even if I had the budget to do something like that, I'm not sure I would becuase it does leave a bad taste in my mouth. Yet, if the ROI was there I can certainly understand why companies do it. You have to pay for a JD Powers award too - cars, banks, etc. Wow... Few things - as CEO of "Top SEO Consultants" (our company name) I will go on record and say that we have NEVER - EVER, nor would we ever, Pay for an award. We are not listed at TopSEO or any other 'paid' placement / buy yourself an award site. In fact we were called 'neo1seo' because of the domain name for our first year or so... Then one day looking at my log files I noticed that I had a bunch of organic hits to the site for the term 'top seo consultancy' all coming from the UK. That was about the time we were getting all of our paperwork done for the business and settled on the more US sounding 'Top SEO Consultants' (consultancy is a UK term in my book) We're not a huge company 3-5 clients at a time... 99% referral business from existing clients... So with all of that being said... I don't want to be lumped in with the crowd that is 'buying fake fame' It's our company name we rank #1 for the term... so while I agree w/ the article, as to the fact that no firm can be right for every client... There's no harm in letting Google decide that you are #1 for Top SEO Consultants. David Brown You pay to enter these competitions the same way you pay to enter OMMA, the Webbies or anything else. It's easy for folks to cast aspersions when you part of the A List. Some of us actually have to do marketing, though, and we'll take any legitimate attention we can get. As a firm that's #8 out of the 2500 or so companies that pay Top SEOs, I don't over-estimate the value of the ranking. But I find all this indignation particularly funny from an entire INDUSTRY that gets paid to help people get a higher ranking. Pot, meet kettle. Call it black. "Award" has a specific meaning in my dictionary. It doesn't involve payment. We signed up for one of those type of websites very early on when no one knew who they were and less was going on. They added us for free including our info and a link to help fill up the website and that was that. Still is the same, never paid for the listing but we're still listed and get traffic from our listing periodically. The ranking of top companies when it is paid for is pretty lame, just state its a paid avert. Sometimes getting in on the ground floor gets you listed for free in those cases. topseos.com is an opportunist business playing on SEO firm egos and naive companies looking for help with internet marketing. You must pay to play. It's NOT editorial, it's advertising. More proof that there is often more than meets the eye when it comes to "awards." Years ago (actually nearly two decades ago) when I sold real estate, I used to marvel at how every company could claim to be "#1". The fine print would say things like "we are #1 in selling single family homes listed by our own agents in the county."

(Editor’s note: This piece was edited October 24, 2013 to clarify that “abortion doulas” do not perform medical abortion procedures.) I write a lot about specifically female public policy – IVF, pay discrimination, etc. I do this not because I think specifically male policies – like, let’s say, Viagra subsidies or abysmal suicide rates following custody battles – aren’t worthy of notice. They are, and other people are writing about them with great vigor. I focus on the female policy side because I think it’s important for libertarians and conservatives to be having these conversations, as opposed to only liberals. Policy illnesses that receive a blanket treatment (i.e. regulation, taxation and government intervention) are not receiving the full benefit of our democratic system. A microcosm of this conflict might be policies towards doulas versus midwives. Both professions are viable alternatives to obstetricians and hospital births for families, but they are subject to very different treatment by the government. Doulas are not medically certified – in the United States, a doula is certified by Childbirth International or D.O.N.A. (Doulas of North America). The certification process to become a birth doula (as opposed to a post-partum doula) is holistic and undemanding compared to other birth-professions, though still surprisingly expensive. She is an emotional and physical assistant to a pregnant woman and can provide pre-partum or post-partum support entirely separate from the actual birth. The average cost of a doula is $250 to $2000 per visit, dependent on area and cost-of-living. While many, including Nicole Kidman and other celebrities, have quoted doula-use as extremely helpful to them during their pregnancies, there are also an increasing number of complaints coming from mothers and doctors alike, in what some refer to as political and professional “turf wars.” Midwives, on the other hand, are health care professionals subject to varied state licensures and medical training. Certification is available from the North American Registry of Midwives and the American College of Nurse Midwives, and the categories of certification include a certified nurse midwife (CNM), certified professional midwife (CPM), direct-entry midwife (DEM), registered midwife (RM) and licensed midwife (LM), depending on the state’s licensing options. According to a 1999 Stanford study, midwives can offer care at a lower cost than an obstetrician and with lower mortality and morbidity as the result of fewer medical interventions on low-risk pregnancies (60-80 percent of births). They are also popular on Catholic mommy blogs for the general perception that they are pro-life. Why does this matter? First off, because a known component of doula culture in the United States is their specialized training to support women choosing abortions, such as through the national, NYC-based The Doula Project, whereas midwives have to fight for the prerogative to perform abortions as health care professionals if they want it – and many don’t. Secondly, and significantly, there is an increasing number of city and federal programs that subsidize specifically doula care for low-income women. Because conservatives and libertarians don’t want to talk about female policy, they haven’t even noticed that they are losing this women-centric battle. Should doulas be more regulated? Not necessarily. And conservatives may object to the difference in treatment because of the pro-life component, while libertarians may object due to the disparity in regulations and subsidies. But by comparing the policies towards midwives with policies toward doulas, we can see how politics informs the policy-making process when you’re not looking. It’s very important that conservative and libertarian voices contribute to these issues – everyone in the room is smarter where there is discord.

2. Interesting take here on the ethics of voting. Basically argues that a pragmatic vote can be an ethical one. Voting your conscience can't claim all the moral high ground. Gets pretty philosophical, though. “The paramount moral question in every voter’s mind therefore should be this: which of the most likely outcomes will promote the greatest good or avoid the greatest evil? If this is not the paramount question for the conscientious voter, then what is? … These kinds of difficult calculations indicate that predicting consequences is often very difficult. But that is not a good reason not to try, especially when the outcome of our choice is so consequential, as it surely is in the coming election. We should not let a false view of moral purity undermine our ability to act for the good as citizens and human beings. It is only when we are clear on the principles that guide how to vote that we can know for whom to vote.” 3. CS Lewis and Mark Altrogge keep our desire for a godly nation subordinate to our desire for our heavenly country, of which we are citizens.
