24 'Ordinary' Photos That Are Hiding Hilarious Oddities.
I'll admit it: This series of photos, like many before it, stress me out. It's kind of like an adult version of the Magic Eye pictures we used to look at as kids. No matter how obvious it might be, it always takes me forever to see what I'm supposed to see.
If you've got the same problem I do, prepare yourselves: Spotting the hilarious bits of these photos is sometimes harder than it looks. Take a deep breath and get ready to take a few minutes (or many, many more) and find the hidden gems in each of these images. When you see what's going on in #22, you'll LOL.
#1. Someone is hiding under there.
#2. This is slightly creepy.
#3. Always watching you.
#4. The leg count here is all off.
#5. Forget about Robert Downey -- who's in the eggs?

Palmer Trinity School - "The Falconer" Redesign
We just launched a website redesign for "The Falconer" —The Online Student Publication of Palmer Trinity School. It's great to read about instant success and praise!
With more than 2,000 views in just over 48 hours, the redesigned Falconer, which launched yesterday morning, smashed its previous number of recorded visits over the same period.
The Falconer, Palmer Trinity School's online student newspaper, has been under reconstruction since August, and, according to Journalism Advisor Dave Cutler, "was in serious need of an overhaul."
The new web site is much more user-friendly and aesthetically appealing. It also has fresher, higher quality content.
"It's much more accessible and streamlined," Editor-in-Chief Preston Michelson '13 said. "I really think it will attract new viewers and encourage frequent visits."

text: This Saturday (July 18), a visiting Filipino danseur-cultural animateur touring with the famous Loboc Children's Choir is conducting a one-day-only integrated dance workshop that everyone interested in dance theatre should take full advantage of. He recently wowed Standing-Room-Only audiences in Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney with nothing less than a world-class performance. "Bohol Rising" as the show with the choir was aptly titled, proved to be a new and rare total musical theatre encounter for local spectators exposed mostly to pop concerts and the like. Thus, such departure from the usual commercial outings proved altogether an unforgettably uplifting experience etched in our hearts and memories. Now, here's yet another bit of good news and treat arising from the same visiting artists' troupe. The star dancer-actor who figured prominently in the same show is Raymund Candelaria Marcaida, better known by his pet name "Rama". He is staying a week or two longer after everyone has travelled back to Manila precisely to conduct a dance workshop tailor-made to suit any and all interested cultural groups including but not limited to choral and dance groups, as well as choreographers, members of folk dance groups not to mention other younger dance students and enthusiasts. Rama started in his early 20s with a Western mode of discipline under such towering Filipino dance teachers like Julie Borromeo. His baptism of fire in the Asian dance form where lies much of his expertise began through a dance scholarship in Yogyakarta, Indonesia under the tutelage of the iconic PadepokanSeniBagongKussudiardja. This was reinforced with a year-long acculturation in Bali, one of the most amazing places steeped in cultural tradition and heritage. Such cultural immersion made him realise both his metier and true calling as a dancer. Returning home, Rama began fusing and experimenting on the Asian dance form, mixing and matching it with his first Western training like East meets West. Additionally, he sought his own roots reorienting himself with the truly indigenous Philippine movement such as the "Pangalay" as taught masterfully by its leading guru Ligaya Fernando Amilbangsa. Like all artists, at some point one has to strike out on one's own, and when he did, he hybridised, synthesised, and distilled all his learned dance disciplines into what he safely and simply calls "creative movements." He now performs essentially as a one-man theatre while collaborating unstoppably with the Philippine's answer to the Vienna Boys Choir, the Loboc Children's Choir as well as with Boholano pioneering artist Gardy Labad travelling with him in US, Europe and Asia. Rama is also a known songwriter and composer to some of the best known singers in the Philippines today. Interested parties are urged to call the over-all coordinator to express interest, clarify details/further enquiry, or reserve a spot straightaway in any of the three, 3-hour sessions limited to 30 participants per session on Saturday, 18 July are: Session 1 (9- 12am); Session 2 (1-4pm) plus an afterhours session for those coming from work, Session 3 - (5-8 pm). The other possibility is, for organisations who can arrange for a minimum group of ten participants, to have their separate sessions during any of the additional alternative dates: Wednesday to Friday , July 15, 16 or 17th, anytime am, pm or early evening. All mechanics and logistics may be coordinated with Dr. Mars Cavestany, Artistic Director, Filipinas-Petals (Philippine Educational Theatre Artists League Sydney) at 02 9636 4273, 0405 756 364 or 0414 928 952. Other participating associations include the BAFA via Malcolm Boncales and Jade Cadelina, FAACES c/o Manny Diel, RMEG thru Sennie Masian, and Radio Dalisay's Mon and Nilda Carpo.

"Old Stupid Dog" and "Dumb Cat" Make a Wish - Happy Birthday!/
I was on the patio wiping off the table and chairs, and inspecting the blue, and white umbrella which had seen better days - taking inventory for Tallulah's upcoming thirteenth birthday celebration, I wanted everything to be perfect for this August cat and her dear old friend Seamus.
Little Fricke was listening to his stereo with the headphones on in his room and playing air drums tapping on the window sill while he sang ( louder than he thought ) along with the song ..."sumer in the city back of my neck getting dirty and gritty".
Parker was downstairs in the dining room sorting through the party favors and making a list of what we had, when she found an old photo of Tallulah and a Great Pyrenees .
"One, two, three, four... - check"
"One, two, three - oh, that one is pretty - check I think I found everything in order oh the party is going to be swell lots of dogs and kitties what fun!"
"Yes Mummy"
"How's it going dear finding everything OK? Do we need to go to the store?"
"Oh no Mummy we have enough candles, cups, napkins, utensils and party favors - its all here!"
"Yes Dear?"
"I found an old photo of Tallulah with a beautiful white a dog in the credenza who is it?
Wait dear I'm almost finished out here, I 'll be right up, better yet - Tallulah can tell you herself I think she is reading in the den, ask her!
Parker ( who enjoys listening to Tallulah weave a good story ) quickly jumped down from her chair and went in search of the birthday girl, my twelve year old rescue cat who I found almost at her wits end smoking cigarettes, and talking fast with a very bad hair do at the East Bay SPCA nine months after I adopted the late Theodore Henry in 2003.
"Hi Tahtty"
"Hello Mrs. P"
"Can I come in?"
"Yes little one- come, come, I was just resting my eyes - I do love what Mother has done with this old den all the books and memories, what can I do for you?"
"I was in the kitchen making sure we had everything ready for your big birthday bash when I came across this old photo - who is the dog standing next to you and the fireman with sooty mustache?"
( Parker sat at Talluhla's knee and listened with both ears as this regal kitty explained how she and her unlikely best friend, "Seamus" found forever homes, friendship and celebrity.
"When I was a kitty ( not that I look a day past 21 mind you ) - I lived on ranch with a dog - Seamus and we were stuck with an old mean man ( with a stick for a friend ) who had just buried his woman. The man sniggered - a screaming, yelling, mean old drunk who could not hold his liquor. Seamus and I were always cleaning up after this man it was horrible."
"Get in here your dumb cat, where you hiding you, old stupid dog?"
"Oh he would scream and throw things at us - and tell us to.."hurry up and clean up this mess"
"Seamus got the worst of it - the mean old man would take poor Seamus hunting and leave Seamus out in the cold and the rain and in the heat without food or water. I would try to hide but he would grab me by the tail and toss me like I was a dirty dish into the sink, Seamus and I comforted each other but we were terrified."
"One day the old man fell a sleep and dropped his cigarette and started fire beneath his cot. Seamus barked and barked but the old man threw a plate at him and told him to: "SHAD AP"
"Before the old man laid down, he threw me in the old ice chest, he accused me of tearing his threadbare shirt. I tried to get out but I was trapped and was without hope of surviving when suddenly the lid flew open, smoke poured in and Seamus pulled me out and we lept out the broken kitchen window to safety."
"A neighbor who had been kind saw the smoke, and ran into the house calling for us but a timber fell on her and she was almost burnt up with the house, when Seamus rushed in to save her. He pulled an tugged and got her out just in the nick of time!"
Well as you might expect the house burned down and the press captured this image of Seamus me and the old fireman with the soot still on his crooked mustache. "
"Wow Tallulah! what a great story, I can't wait to meet Seamus - what happened to him?"
Seamus went on to found the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society of North America and a local chapter of Cats and Dogs - a club if you will to promote positive relations between canine and feline:)
Cats and dogs are some of the smartest animals on the planet. Cats and Dogs are on the ( human ) record for saving their guardians and for traveling long distances. Recently interest at some of the most well respected research facilities across the globe has confirmed what most animal lovers have always known: Cats and Dogs have memories, please don't think they don't understand, remember and recognize our behavior - they do. Cats and Dogs have a lot to teach US - learn more about the intellect of Cats and Dogs.
Say Happy Birthday to Tallulah Juliette August 7, 2013 she will be 13 years young:) I am happy to have her in my life ( she keeps in touch with Seamus by listening to the Twilight Bark:)

The Basics of Hair CareMost women long for a head full of beautiful, manageable hair, and are willing to do plenty to learn how to get it. The good news is that with a few basics in the hair care department, you can sport a beautiful mane every single day. The key is in knowing the right products to use and the best methods for keeping your do healthy and shiny. You can find the best ways to care for your hair by talking to your stylist about your individual needs and preferences, and to research online and in magazines the most effective ways to shampoo and style. There is plenty of information available on hair care; you just need to take the time to educate yourself on the best products and routines for you.
Keeping it CleanShampooing is the first step to a healthy style, but did you know that there is actually a right and wrong way to perform this step? According to some professional stylists, there are a number of common mistakes that are made during this preliminary step. Before heading to the shower with a bottle of shampoo, you must decide what your hair type is to ensure that you are using the best products for you. One way to determine this is with the spray bottle test. Fill a spray bottle with water and lightly spritz your dry hair. If the water absorbs immediately, you probably have dry hair that would respond well to a moisturizing shampoo. If the water droplets bead up at first, you probably have an oily hair type that requires a deep cleansing shampoo designed for an oilier scalp.
Once you have selected the correct products, you need to know the right way to shampoo. Many stylists will agree that most of us will use too much shampoo, and will not thoroughly rinse after the cleansing process. For longer lengths, a quarter-sized amount of shampoo in your palm should do the trick. Shorter styles only require the equivalent of a nickel-sized amount. Once you have lathered your hair, rinse well, which means until the water from your head is running clear. Follow the same rule of thumb with your conditioner, using more for longer lengths and less for shorter styles. Again rinse your head well to ensure that you will not be dealing with any residue on your scalp once your hair is dry.

One of my pet peeves is news stories about energy that say something like "Flokistan just added 100 MWs in solar panels to its grid. This is enough to power 150 homes," with no further numbers. I always want to know the context, like how many MWs does Flokistan use? How many homes are there in Flokistan? How does 100 MWs in solar panels compare in cost with putting in 100 MWs of coal-fired powerplants, and how long will it take to pay back?
The energy field is full of numbers – cars emit 19 tons of CO2 per year, solar panels cost $0.20/kWh, PG&E just contracted for 800 MWs of solar power in California. They are used freely, but seldom put into context. So I was very happy to discover an interesting online resource over the weekend: Richard Muller's U.C. Berkeley class "Physics For Future Presidents."
In one semester, my goal is to cover the physics that future world leaders need to know (and maybe present world leaders too.
Chapter one, Energy and Power (and the physics of explosions), of his textbook is online (at least temporarily) and it's fascinating. Most interesting is the table near the beginning comparing the energy content per gram of various substances, including TNT, gasoline, hydrogen, various batteries, an asteroid traveling at 30 km/sec, and even chocolate chip cookies.
For example, a gram of gasoline has about 15 times as much energy content as a gram of TNT, and about half again as much energy content as a gram of ethanol. Hydrogen has almost three times the energy content of gasoline per gram, but even as a liquid, hydrogen is only about 1/10 as dense as gasoline, meaning that per volume, it has about 1/3 the energy content. Muller's paper is full of useful rules of thumb, such as the following:
Remember this: Compared to gasoline, liquid hydrogen has
- 3 x more energy per gram (or per lb)
- 3 x less energy per gallon (or per liter)
He then goes on to discuss the relative merits of different forms of energy for powering cars, noting that gasoline is a particularly desirable fuel given its very high energy content and ease-of-use compared to, say hydrogen. Or batteries – which have 100x less energy density than gasoline. He also explains why having a big meteorite or asteroid hit Earth would be a bad thing.
If you're interested in the numbers around energy, and how to compare them, I can definitely recommend a reading this chapter. The course is also available via podcast – see here for links, and covers not just energy, but terrorism, nukes, space, and global warming.
I'd be interested in hearing your comments about Muller's information. If you have sources that you use for energy-related numbers, let me know about those too. I'm putting together a reference site for these sources, which I'll link to on this blog as a static page when it's ready.

The Gravity Student Program
Earlier in the year we spent a week with the Red & Yellow post-graduate students, teaching them about behavioural economics and social psychology, and how to apply the findings from these fields to marketing, communications and design. It was an incredible experience from our side, and in terms of the feedback we got, it seemed the students thoroughly enjoyed it too.
Upon finishing, we felt that there was more we could offer the students, especially from a practical perspective, as the module was largely orientated around the theories, insights and important ideas within the field. This pushed us to set up a second phase, called the Gravity Student Program. This program was a lot longer than the one week module we initially did, and more of a practical, interactive workshop feel, than a lecture series.
The objective of the program was to get the students, who shared our enthusiasm and interest for the field to find solutions to specific behaviour-orientated problems that exist within the city of Cape Town. Just over 20 students chose to take part in the program, and were split up into groups, based on data they gave us regarding who they work well with, and the behaviour changes that they would like to work on. This democratic sort of system worked well, as we got some really interesting projects going that focused on important behaviour such as pedestrians crossing roads, texting and driving, student productivity and online donations to NPO's.
The groups partnered up with real organisations, that their chosen behavioural problem was important to. They worked with these organisations to get data and insights, which were used to develop low cost tactics that these organisations could implement to change the relevant behaviour. The students are currently waiting on feedback from their partner-organisations on whether they would like to pilot any of the tactics they have developed.
Overall its been a great experience for us, and something the students who participated, found extremely valuable.

The disciples had been with Jesus for quite sometime now; they experienced the miraculous and healing power of the Almighty as Jesus healed the sick, the oppressed and went as far as raising the dead. The Jews will only be convinced when they see a sign that is beyond the human machinations or capacity and it's at such times, that you'll have their complete attention. So as Jews (the disciples), they were convinced about the fact that Jesus was truly sent from God.
They had begun to have different perceptions about the Messiah; even the people around Him would also begin to form their perception of Him. An example was the man that was born blind and how his eyes were restored. The parents of the blind man could not express how graceful the Lord had been to them and their son because of the persecution from the Jewish leaders. They couldn't express their feelings or experience to the extent that they told the leaders to ask their son to narrate the miraculous experience himself.
The second example is the woman that had an issue of blood – she had visited many doctors and instead of her getting better, her sickness grew from bad to worse. She had no choice but to look for the Balm in Gilead; she had no choice but to look for Jesus whom she had heard about. She wouldn't have looked for Jesus if she didn't run out of money; she was healed but there was nothing to remind us that she became a follower of Jesus afterwards or maybe she just got healed and left to do her own thing.
One thing was certain; there had been uproar about this new found thing or person called Jesus. He had gotten the attention of the Jewish and Gentile World to the extent that many followed Him day and night. To many, Jesus fed them with good food (John 6); to many He healed their sicknesses and diseases or raised the dead. To many of the Jewish leaders, He had come to take over and hence the hatred, even when they had been informed of His arrival on planet Earth. They all had different perceptions of Him.
Jesus was not careful to ignore the perception of the multitudes but what was important to Him was how His disciples perceived Him. He met with His disciples and asked what they thought people said and perceived Him as. They gave Him so many answers of how some called Him John the Baptizer, some saw Him as Elijah; some perceived Him as Jeremiah or one of the Prophets. One thing was sure from the various perceptions; He was from God even though they all had different perceptions of Him like we do today.
Only Peter gave the correct response about Him based on what he perceived of Him.
Today we have many preachers and teachers (some are false and some are truly sent by God) of the Bible carrying different perceptions of the person of God or His Son, Jesus. I have said this, because the plethora of perceptions and divisions we have today is as a result of the peddling or false proclamation of the Scripture by someone somewhere, which got many of their hearers forming different perceptions about God.
Perception is the arrangement, connection and interpretation of sensory knowledge/information in order to represent and understand the presented information or the environment. In other words, I can form my perception based on what information is presented to me (wrong or right).
Growing up as a Christian, we looked at people who had headache, for example, as people who could not exercise their Faith and this led many to deny their present state because nobody wanted to be seen as less than what they purport to be (Faith Man/Woman). The moment we see someone with a good car for example, we associate the material thing to having and a display of their Faith. So the Christian fight back then, was a struggle to have Faith and not one to just worship God in Spirit and in Truth as specified in the Bible.
We have many disgruntled Christians who have carried some of these wrong perceptions and because things are not working the way they feel or want them to, they begin to lay claims of how good they have been to God and most times some question the existence of God. Little do they know that they are carrying a wrong perception about God – and the last person we want to point fingers at, is US; because we have assumed that we are carrying the right information about God.
Many Christians also believe that the moment any negative circumstance (in their mind) happens around them or to them, they have been taught that it must be the Devil attacking them. Many have spent a bulk of their prayer time binding and losing the Devil to the extent that our prayers are inadvertently deemed incomplete when some arrows are not fired at the Devil. This is a resultant consequence of the perception we have about the way God deals with issues around us.
Perceptions can also be negative. Shame is a wasted sensibility because shame is an attachment to self-perception that has been fostered by the perceptions and opinions of others. Paul declared he was not ashamed of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. He did not give into negative perceptions formed by the opinion of others that were around him.
Many have held other perceptions today just like the Jews did even when the much-awaited Messiah came around. They refused Him maybe because they felt He shouldn't have appeared the way He did. They were educated by the so many Prophets who came to pave the way yet they were averse at the very person they were expecting.
Many are angry today because they feel God is a God of favoritism and that He has refused to look their way or answered their prayers. Many have stopped following Him due to the many challenges and frustrations they have been overwhelmed with and they have reached a point of no return and they've had to look elsewhere for answers.
Very few have thought about having a mind readjustment even when it comes to the many things they have been or are listening to; very few have come to the knowledge of the truth when it comes to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and have adjusted. Only a few have come to the realization that the challenges happening to them at this very minute might be a way of God breaking them down for the position they are going to occupy in the future.
The Scriptures posit that as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth. No child comes into this world without the agony and pain the mother goes through.
Maybe some of us have the wrong perception of God; maybe some of us have been taught by false teachers and ended up with the wrong perception of the person of God; or maybe we have allowed other people's opinion of God become the determining factor as we build or form our perception.
Here is a true perception from C.H Spurgeon, he said, "I believe the doctrine of election, because I am quite sure that if God had not chosen me I should never have chosen him; and I am sure he chose me before I was born, or else he never would have chosen me afterwards; and he must have elected me for reasons unknown to me, for I never could find any reason in myself why he should have looked upon me with special love".

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
fant (ayeph, uph, yaaph, alaph, aTaph, dawway, yaghea, macac, rakhakh, paghar, kahah; ekluo, ekkakeo, kamno): The Hebrew vocabulary for the depressing physical conditions and mental emotions which are rendered in the King James Version by the English words "faint," "fainthess," and other compounds of that stem, is, as will be seen above, wide and varied in derivation. The 11 Hebrew and 3 Greek words and their derivatives are used in 62 passages in the King James Version to express these conditions.
Ayeph is used to express the exhaustion from fatigue and hunger in the case of Esau (Ge 25:29,30). This and its variants come from a root which primarily means "to cover or conceal," therefore "to be dark or obscure," and so, figuratively, "to be faint or depressed." Israel's helpless state when harassed by Amalek (De 25:18) and the plight of Gideon's weary force when they sought in vain for help at Succoth (Jud 8:4) are described by the same word. Isaiah also uses it to picture the disappointed and unsatisfied appetite of the thirsty man awakening from his dream of refreshment (Isa 29:8). In 2Sa 16:14, ayephim is probably a proper name of a place (Revised Version, margin).
Uph in 1Sa 14:28-31 describes the exhaustion of Saul's host in pursuit of the Philistines after the battle of Michmash. The same word expresses the failure of David's strength when in conflict with the same foes, which led to his imminent peril and to the consequent refusal of the commander of his army to allow him to take part personally in the combat (2Sa 21:15).
Ya-aph is used by Ziba when he brought refreshments to David's men on the flight from Absalom (2Sa 16:2); see also its use in Isa 40:28. Cognate verbal forms occur in Isa 40:30,31; Jer 2:24; 51:58,64; Hab 2:13, as also in Jud 8:15, meaning in all cases the faintness or exhaustion of fatigue or weariness.
Alpah expresses the faintness from thirst in Am 8:13, or from the heat of the sun (Jon 4:8), and figuratively, the despondency which was the result of the captivity (Isa 51:20). Ezekiel uses it allegorically as describing the withering of the trees for grief at the death of the Assyrian kings (Eze 31:15).
ATaph is the weariness of the wanderers in the desert (Ps 107:5), the faintness from hunger (La 2:19), or the despondency of Jonah dispelled by his remembrance of God's mercies (Jon 2:7).
Dawway, from a root which signifies the sickness produced by exhaustion from loss of blood, is used in Isa 1:5 for the faintness of heart, the result of remorse for sin, and in Jer 8:18 for the prophet's sorrow for the sins of Israel. A cognate form expresses his sorrow on account of the judgments of God which were incurred as punishments for the national backsliding (La 1:13,12; 5:17).
Macac, literally, "dissolving or melting," is applied to the contagious fear which the example of a cowardly soldier produces among his comrades (De 20:8, the Revised Version (British and American) "melt"). In the remarkable passage in Isa 10:18, in which God pronounces the doom of Assyria when his purposes of chastisement on Israel have been fulfilled, the collapse of Assyria is said to be "as when a standard-bearer fainteth." For this the Revised Version, margin substitutes "as when a sick man pineth away," which is probably the correct rendering. The word macac may mean either a sick man, or else something glittering and seen from afar, such as a standard, but the former sense is more intelligible and suggestive in the context. The rarely used verbal form cognate to macac is used on account of its assonance. Yaghea (yagha), which is usually translated "grieved" or "tormented" or "fatigued," is rendered as "fainted" in Jer 45:3. This passage, "I fainted in my sighing" the King James Version, is in Hebrew the same as that which reads, "I am weary with my groaning" in Ps 6:6, and is similarly rendered in the Revised Version (British and American).
Rakhakh, like macac, primarily signifies "to melt" or "to become soft," and is used in prophetic exhortations in which the people are encouraged not to be panic-stricken in the presence of enemies (De 20:3, and also Jer 51:46; Isa 7:4). Another related word, morekh, in the sense of despair and utter loss of courage, is used in expressing the consequences of God's wrath against Israel (Le 26:36). In its literal sense it signifies "blandness," as of the words of a hypocritical enemy (Ps 55:21).
Paghar is the prostration of utter fatigue whereby one is unable to raise himself or to proceed on a journey, as were some of David's little band (1Sa 30:10-21). A cognate word describes the prostration of amazement and incredulity with which Jacob heard of Joseph's condition in Egypt (Ge 45:26).
Kahah, the pining of earnest, longing desire, is translated "fainteth" in Ps 84:2; 119:81; elsewhere it is rendered by words expressing wasting or languishing. The panic in Canaan due to famine is expressed (Ge 47:13) by the word lahah, which implies a state of frenzy.
The only records of actual fainting are
(1) Daniel, in Da 8:27, where the word used is the Niphal of the verb hayah, literally, "became," meaning that he became weak;
(2) swooning is mentioned in Additions to Esther 5:7-14.
In the New Testament "faint" is used in the sense of physical exhaustion (Mt 9:36 the King James Version; Mt 15:32; Mr 8:3), where it is part of the verb ekluo, "to relax." Otherwise it is used figuratively of discouragement of spirit. The same verb is used in Ga 6:9; Heb 12:3,5; but in Lu 18:1; 2Co 4:1-16; Eph 3:13 it is part of the verb ekkakeo (according to some authorities egkakeo, pronounced enkakeo, meaning "to be faint-hearted" or "to be culpably negligent"). In Re 2:3 it is kopiao, literally, "to be tired."

The Battle of Azure Spaceport was a conflict that occurred in the early stages of the Clone Wars in which Separatist forces tracked the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi, Anakin Skywalker, and Senator Padmé Amidala by means of a tracer device planted in a foolproof codebreaker. This had been brought by Talesan Fry, who agreed to turn the codebreaker over to the Old Republic at a hidden base on the planet Azure.
It possessed meager defenses and was severely outnumbered by the huge Separatist fleet. The Republic forces had to surrender control of the planet. General Solomahal, the Commander of the base, was determined not to let the codebreaker into Separatist hands, thus facilitating its destruction prior to his capture.
The BattleEdit
As the Republic forces discovered the Separatists were planning to launch their attack, the Jedi took to their starfighters in an attempt to hold off the droids until clone reinforcements could arrive. Padmé was sent with Taly in a starship away from the battle— intent on jumping into hyperspace in time to avoid the conflict. Meanwhile, Anakin led the most skilled of the General Solomahal's pilots into battle against the massive force of droid tri-fighters. When the enemy began to fire on civilian ships, Padmé's was peppered with fire, and crashed, though two escape pods were launched. Siri and Kenobi peeled off from the main fight and worked their way to where the pods' had landed.
As the Jedi realized that the battle would be lost due to the droids' superior numbers, they contacted Solomahal. They told him to send the codebreaker away, and to prepare for evacuation. Refusing the suggestion, the General continued the fight, guarding the codebreaker himself. The Jedi arrived at the landing platform, but were soon surprised by Magus in his red-black starfighter, who immediately opened fire. Fleeing from his attack, they raced aboard ARC-170 starfighters, Padmé with Siri, and Taly with Obi-Wan.
On the other side of the battle, Anakin began to realize that though their casualties were low and the they had been doing well, they could not prevail against such a large army. After receiving a comm that Padmé's ship went down, he raced to the platform, hoping to save her if she had survived. As the Jedi and others fought against Magus, Siri concocted a risky plan. Crawling out of her ship and leaving Padmé in control, she leaped into the air and used the Force to land on Magus' ship, where she used her lightsaber to cut through the canopy. Magus began to fly wildly, jerking around, which forced Kenobi to launch a low-powered concussion missile in an attempt to stop him. The missile collided with the ship, knocking Siri into the cockpit and crashing the starfighter to the ground.
Magus was ejected from the ship, defeated. Obi-Wan jumped into the smoking ship to find Siri. He discovered that she had been shot by Magus, and barely alive. With her last breath, she gave Obi-Wan her warming crystal and confessed her love for him once more. Obi-Wan then began to allow his anger to overcome him, and came close to murdering Magus, but reigned in his emotions. He arrested Magus as a prisoner of war.
The droids bombed Taly's office and labs, destroying all of his inventions and work, most of which would be impossible to reproduce. Still fighting for a losing side, Solomahal was captured, though he destroyed the codebreaker shortly before his capture, stopping any chance of the Separatists obtaining it and its power. He later broke free and was given another command. Back at the Jedi Temple, Obi-Wan mourned Siri and walked through the halls, unable to sleep just like his master twenty years before when Qui-Gon Jinn lost Tahl. But in his pain, he finally understood what Qui-Gon had tried to teach him so long ago-that he could survive with the loss of the person he loved most. Obi-Wan had finally learned how to love with an open heart.

Why is Samson in the bible in the book of "Hebrews" as a man of faith?
So, let me tell you about a guy! A real emblem of faith…
The Philistines had conquered the Israelites, and they needed someone to protect them from this new threat…
so God sent an angel to Samson's barren parents,
who promised them a child,
and made them swear an oath,
that Samson would never cut his hair, or be ritually impure, or drink strong drink.
This man, Samson, starts his ministry by marrying a…
you know, the people he was supposed to protect the Israelites from…
And he's wandering to his bachelor party, and along the way he has a run in with a lion and rips it in half.
Once at the bachelor party, he picks a fight with his future brother-in-laws, and kills a bunch of them.
His would-be father-in-law thinks this means the marriage is off,
and marries Samson's bride-to-be to the best man…
and then we come to today's story about the flaming foxes.
By this point, Samson's own people have decided he's a little funny, and a danger to himself and others…
so they turn him over to the Philistine authorities….
Once arrested he kills, and kills, and kills, and kills, until the Philistine forces are all gone and God offers him a cool drink of water.
Thirst satiated, he finds himself a prostitute in the city, and when his love shack is surrounded by an angry mob he hides out until midnight and then beats a hasty retreat,
carrying the city gates themselves off with him, for the fun of it.
Then he falls in love with Delilah, another Philistine, who he famously lies to about the source of his strength a couple of times, before he tells the truth,
which gets him shorn and captured and blinded and bound.
Then, in the final act, he's put between pillars of a house where sacrifices to the Philistine god Dagon were taking place
—all the leaders of the Philistines are giving thanks to Dagon for allowing them to capture Samson,
and Samson goes from weakness to strength and strains and pushes those pillars down
—killing everyone, including himself
—3,000 in all.
And that gets me to the first question in our 3-week sermon series "Questions from the Pews."
Today's question is:
"Why is Samson in the bible in the book of "Hebrews" as a man of faith?"
Let us pray
"Why is Samson in the bible in the book of "Hebrews" as a man of faith?"
Now, to begin with, we have to come to grips with the fact that the Bible is a collection of books
—the bible is a library of books we believe point to the God we know in Jesus Christ.
Stating the obvious,
not all books say the same thing,
they have different focuses and different points.
And today, at least to some extent, we're looking at two books of the Bible that are working at cross-purposes.
One of the main point of the book of Judges is that the system for ruling God's people after the death of Moses and Joshua, was ineffective—it worked very poorly.
Essentially, you had 12 tribes living side-by-side, but separate, other than when bad things happened,
at which point they would cry to God and a Judge
—a charismatic ruler
—would arise and unite the tribes and stop whatever bad thing had befallen them.
The problem was, with the exception of Deborah and a few barely mentioned Judges, most of these judges were deeply, and I mean DEEPLY, flawed individuals
—Jephthah sacrificed his own daughter because he made a dumb oath,
Barak was a coward,
Gideon and Micah made idols,
AbiMelek slaughtered his own brothers,
tribes warred against one another, culminating in the near genocide of the tribe of Benjamin…
and as we see today, we also have hyped-up, sexed-up, erratic, frat-boy Samson.
The point the book of Judges is making, is that the system is messed up; a Davidic king is needed…
This is, however, not the point of Hebrews.
Hebrews is a sermon focused on giving hope to early Christians facing persecution;
preaching to a Christian community where there are people falling away,
because being Christian involves sacrifice
—the preacher is telling us that, in the face of persecution, we need to trust in the unseen things of God, just like the faithful who came before did. Though it doesn't always seem like it…
God is in relationship with us,
God has made a promise to us,
and we ought to trust in that promise,
just as God was in relationship with folk throughout the bible.
So, on one hand the book of Judges goes out of its way to show that many of the Judges are flawed,
on the other, Hebrews points to their faithfulness.
And that's where the preacher is going—he is giving concrete examples of people living out their faith in times of trouble, so that his listeners can do the same.
He mentions Samson in this list of people—and it is a little unclear why.
Is it because he his parents "obtained promises" from God through his birth?
Is it because he "shuts the mouth of lions" by tearing one to shreds?
Is it because he "won strength out of weakness" there at the end of his story?
Or, maybe, the list the preacher gives, is of people both succeeding and failing,
sinners and saints
—faithful in so far as God has been faithful to them.
Yes, enduring as best they can, but ultimately relying on God, relying on the ongoing relationship God has with them.
Relying on the reality that even an Idol maker like Gideon,
a Coward like Barak,
a Shmuck like Samson,
a fool like Jephthah,
and ALL the rest
—relying on the reality that even THEY found a gracious God,
a faithful God,
a God who kept faith with them even at their ugliest.
So, "why is Samson in the bible in the book of "Hebrews" as a man of faith?"
Because God is faithful.
God walked with him of all people
God walks with us even on our darkest and dumbest day.
We can't always see that, like the early Christians the Preacher of Hebrews is preaching to,
we can be so put down by the things we can see,
that we sacrifice our hope in the invisible Grace of God,
and we can fall away.
So, let me remind you, if God can be faithful to Samson,
gracious to Samson,
in relationship with Samson
—he surely is with you all of your days,
faithfully. A+A


text: Home > Nation Binay, Roxas dead heat in SWS exit poll ABS-CBN News Posted at May 11 2010 01:27 PM | Updated as of May 13 2010 01:41 AM Share Save Facebook Twitter LinkedIn MANILA, Philippines - The vice-presidential election could go down to the wire, based on the partial results of an exit poll conducted by Social Weather Stations (SWS). Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay and Sen. Manuel "Mar" Roxas ended up tied in the SWS exit poll sponsored by TV5 and conducted in cooperation with the Ateneo School of Government (ASoG). The partial results of the exit poll, uploaded on the SWS website on Tuesday, had Binay and Roxas in a dead heat, with both getting 40% support from respondents. Sen. Loren Legarda came in third with 10%, Bayani Fernando was fourth with 3%, Edu Manzano and Perfecto Yasay were tied for 5th place with 2% each. Dominador Chipeco and Jose Sonza got less than 1%. In a press conference Tuesday, Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino said the initial results from the Comelec's partial tally do not include Roxas' bailiwicks, so they expect him catch up with Binay. As of Tuesday morning, Binay was ahead by around 800,000 votes. Role of Muslims, Iglesia If the vice-presidential race will be determined by voters in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) where special elections will be held as a result of failed polls in several towns, then Roxas is in trouble. Based on religion, the SWS exit poll showed that 45% of Muslims chose Binay, while only 17% picked Roxas. Legarda was chosen by 28% of Muslims. Roxas took a strong stand against the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD), which would have granted Muslims ancestral domain rights over large tracts of land and water in Muslim Mindanao. If Roxas is eventually declared the next vice-president, he can thank the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) for his slim victory. The Iglesia vote According to the exit poll, 75% of INC members voted for Roxas, an indication of the power of INC leader Eduardo Manalo over his flock. The INC accounts for around 3% of registered voters. The INC endorsed the Liberal Party tandem. To show how weak the Catholic vote is, only 0.2% of Catholics voted for Ang Kapatiran presidential bet John Carlos "JC" de los Reyes, who had been endorsed by several bishops. A total of 44% of Catholics chose Aquino even if he was tagged by some Catholic organizations as not being pro-life. The SWS exit poll had targeted a national sample of 32,000 with a national sampling error of below 1%. The partial results disclosed so far was based on 22,398 interviews at least 50 meters away from voting centers. SWS had aimed for 40 respondents per voting center.

Texas Rental Market Among Those with Biggest Rent Jumps
Dallas Among Best Markets for Renting to Millennials
DALLAS– Specialized Dallas announced today that a recent analysis of the first quarter of 2015 rental markets performed by RealtyTrac places select Texas markets among those experiencing the largest jumps for rent increases. The Dallas market is also among the top 50 best markets for renting to millennials.
To make the list of top 50 markets for millennials, counties had an above national average of millennial renters (22%), a millennial population growth of at least 5% during 2007-2013, and potential for annual rental returns at 9% or higher.
The report shows the Dallas rental market experienced a 14% increase of millennial renters between 2007-2013, with the 2013 percentage of millennial renters being 24.72. Factors that may affect the change are the low unemployment rates that Texas offers (4.9%), and the mere 1% increase in rent increases from 2014.
"Not only do many of these millennials have stable employment, but strong job prospects going forward, and a rosy forecast for future salary growth," said OB Jacobi, President of Windermere Real Estate.
The rental analysis also showed Midland County, Texas as one of the highest rent increases from 2014-2015 with a 24% increase of fair market rent.
We view these trends as a positive indicator for real estate investors in the area. Since the Millennial generation is the largest sector of renters currently, being among their preferred markets for rentals can only indicate positive growth for the future.
Specialized is the leading property management company in the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex and handles all aspects of property management. As an experienced team of property managers, they strive to keep investors up-to-date with markets trends and key analytics that affect the industry.

Yesterday was a fairly quiet day although deciding to go shopping in town was a really bad idea after such a long drive on Friday. I got halfway round and most of my joints stopped working due to overtiredness. Cue a cup of tea and a sit down! Unfortunately the tiredness stopped me being able to decide which shoes to buy for the party so will have to go back at some point this week.
This morning started with a blind panic.
I got up just after six and found the front door wide open. No sign of Ma or the dog. Jumped into car in nightie and toured the neighbourhood. Found them in the middle of the main road. No lead on Lily. Ma in slippers, sparkly top, pj bottoms and cardi. Apparently none of this mattered because there wasn't anyone around. I think my heart rate has finally gone back to normal.
Sometimes you just have to laugh...
'What do you fancy for lunch Mum?'
'Oh I'm not very hungry I think I'd like a couple of pieces of bacon.'
'Ok no problem, I'll just pop to the shop.'
'I'll have some of those other things as well.'
<cue a question and answer session - she meant sausages>
'Oh and I'll have a few mushrooms'
'And an egg'
'And some hash browns'
'And fried bread...'
Edited to add: And a sherry!
Ma is showing the dog her Princess Diana doll. The dog is supremely uninterested. Ma is taking this personally. I've tried to explain that the dog is not a 3 year old child but I'm not sure I've been very successful.

So here you are, spiritual and single – and possibly tired of if. You may have been in a relationship before and for some reason you ended up alone again. This happened to many of us, including me. Perhaps it just didn't work out or you grew apart. Maybe you got hurt and you had to leave. Missing out on the warmth of a nest can be a gruesome experience, especially if you have had a taste of it. You may wonder, will it ever change?
It may or may not, and I can't give you any guarantees. But what I can do, is help you along on your path and with the right, spiritual attitude, things will clear up for you and new relationships will form.
If you have never been in a relationship, you may have to learn a karmic lesson. Don't dismiss this idea too quickly, for it is important to understand what may be going on for you and how to deal with it. No matter what the karmic cause may be, if there is one, your response and current behavior should be loving and forgiving – and make sure to include yourself among those you love. Love can heal anything and nothing is written in stone so the course of your life can change.
Relationships are tools for self growth and soul work. From this point of view, relationships never really fail. There are endless lessons to be learned for us beautiful souls and relationships provide an environment in which we can do so. Whether we are dealing with romantic relationships or family, friends or work-related ones doesn't matter, they are sacred and should be treated as such.
Relationship problems do not teach you about the other person. They teach you about you.
Did you feel abused? Why did you let that happen for so long? Were you cheated on, controlled, molded into somebody that wasn't you? Could you be yourself and did you feel supported in that? So many things may have been going on, but ultimately all of these were pointing at something in you that needed healing. Relationship problems teach you about your relationship with your self and through yourself, with God.
Try to be your own best friend or advisor and look at whatever was going on for you and give yourself some good advice. Stop him from abusing you. You are worth it not to be cheated on. She should love you the way you are and not try to turn you into somebody you are not. Learn to love yourself. If you can't love yourself, you cannot love somebody else and you cannot love God. And that's the point.
How is your relationship with God? Do you even have one? If you felt abused in your marriage, may I ask you if you abused God? Many people only pray to God when they are suffering or afraid, so they are selfish in their relationship with God. You talk to God when you need Him and when you don't need Him, He doesn't even exist for you. Isn't that how it often is?
If you are religious and you have the habit of thanking God for your meal, do you really mean it? It is always us who want something from God, but do you ever wonder if He wants something from us? We always want God to serve us, but do we serve Her, and how do we do that? Going to church? Volunteering at a homeless shelter, then brag about it or feel good about yourself and meanwhile criticize and condemn those who live in big houses? Who are you to judge others when you can't see the big picture.
All these things, your entire relationship with God is reflected in your romantic love relationships – and by the way, every relationship should be a love relationship. As a matter of fact, God gives you an opportunity with each relationship so you may learn to love Him. To heal your personal relationships, you have to heal your relationship with the Divine!
Can you see God in the other one? Yes, if he is nice to you but what if he isn't? That too is God, teaching you what you need to learn. God is in everybody and everything – learn to recognize Him! And when he is hurting you, communicate with God and say: "God, your way is the way of Love. This, what You are doing to me now, is not Love so this is not Your way and hence, this is not You." And God will ask you: "So if this isn't Me, what are you going to do about it?" And on it goes. God is your teacher as well as your Creator and he teaches you how to love – others and yourself.
Perhaps you are on a spiritual path, perhaps you know the things I talk about, but you are still single. Know that class is not over yet. There is still so much to learn. So the next time someone comes into your life and opportunity arises, welcome it as a means to honor and love God.
Don't come from a needy place, but from a giving one.
Instead of focusing on your own loneliness, desire to be there for another.
No need to sacrifice your own happiness to make the other happy.
Marriage is not a contract, for Love is unconditional.
Nobody completes you, you should be whole by yourself.
He who does not love himself, cannot love another.
Let Love be your guide and remove all false motivations to be with someone.
If you were hurt in the past, heal yourself first before getting involved again – don't bring your old luggage into a new relationship. Healing doesn't just mean to heal your pain, it also means to learn what you needed to learn, to become whole; it's never too late for that.
And, oh yes, forgive the other one. It doesn't matter how or what, God brought this person in your life and acted through him or her to show you or teach you something. It wasn't about the other one, it has always been about you…
I pray that you may find peace and love, and have wonderful relationships.

I had to take a few minutes to think about why I am where I am. Not that it is a bad place or a good place, it is just where I am. Right now. It's not where I will always be and it's not where I've been, so there is much to be said about where I am right now.
How did I get here? I don't know. I really don't. I use to want to know the answer to everything. I wanted to be able to point out how everything happens and label something for nothing. I had to have a reason for why things were happening and I really wanted to be able to explain to myself and more importantly other people how and why things happen. Because really, I don't have to know why. I don't have to explain to myself how things happened. Or why things happened. Because it happened to me. It happened for me. It happened through me. So why would I have to create a story or a meaning for how things are? I don't need to remind myself where I was or where I am, in order to get where I'm going. I'm going there. I will get there. But I am where I am. So I need not worry about understanding how. Or why. Or who. Because I know how I got here. I don't know why. I don't need to understand why. Honestly, I can't really explain why. I just am. I am here. I am present and I'm not really quite sure what's ahead.
Before, I would have wanted to plan it all. I wanted to write out my entire life so that I can tell myself how to be right now. How to handle everything right now because there is great things ahead. But I can't. I don't have the answers.
-& finally, I don't want the answers. I really don't. I don't want to know what's ahead.
That'll just ruin the surprise!

First, a word of warning! When you purchase this beast and get ready for your first drive, TAKE IT EASY! If this is your first R/C Monster Truck/Buggy you better take it slow, get used to the controls, and work your way up to driving this at top speed. Read through this whole review and take note of some other key points about how to drive this beast otherwise you could damage it.
Ok, now that I've given you the heads up on some key points, lets get into the review.
The Redcat Racing Earthquake 8E has been named very well because this Monster Truck is going to liven up your weekend of bashing adventures quite a bit!
You have found the best High End RC Monster Truck on the market today! The Redcat Racing Earthquake 8E 1:8 Brushless Electric Ready-To-Run (RTR) RC Monster Truck is without a doubt the best electric radio controlled car I've driven, no exception! Once you get used to how to handle this INSANE BEAST with its speed regulator and brushless motor you're going to find it difficult to drive anything slower.
This bold RC RTR 1/8 scale Brushless Electric Monster Truck comes complete with an EZRUN-80A electric brushless 8T 2400RPM 540 motor, four wheel drive, forward/reverse transmission and a two channel AM radio. The Earthquake 8E Monster Truck is fully equipped with soft compound knobby off road tires, vivid polycarbonate body armor, 2 sealed differentials, adjustable suspension, aluminum capped oil filled adjustable shocks, battery and charger. It also includes 2 LIPO batteries, LIPO battery charger and everything else you need at a price that is hard to beat. All you need to add is 8 AA batteries to the remote and you are ready to kick up dirt and rocks and scare the pants of anyone standing around!
Experiencing the thrill of racing has never been easier. No matter where you drive, or what the conditions are, the Redcat Racing Earthquake 8E 1:8 Brushless Electric RTR RC Monster Truck is definitely your best choice at a price that is hard to beat!
Radio System: Redcat DSM-2C 2.4GHz Remote & Receiver with forward, reverse, left and right controls.
Rugged design with a low profile and center of gravity. Big wheels and heavy duty springs. All this means this is a tough design ready for the road or dirt. It's certainly made to handle some bashing. As you saw in the video, because of the power in this truck it can be difficult to keep the front wheels on the ground, so you might want to consider getting the optional Redcat Racing Wheelie Bar.
I think I've already coverd all the positive things about this truck, but let me say it again. It's AWESOME!
The spur gear is plastic, so going forward fast and applying brakes hard triggering reverse leaves a chance of grinding the teeth off of the gear. The pinion is metal and there are metal spur gear replacements available.
Hard turns going at high speeds are not handled very well on asphalt/concrete surfaces.
The batteries don't last long enough, well they do but when you drive it you will want them to last a lot longer than they do because of how much fun you're having
What more can I say? The special feature of this monster truck is it's lightning speed and the fact you can toss and tumble this car around and it just gets up, dusts itself off and wants MORE. You'll wich you had more power packs handy so you can drive it longer. Once you get the hang of driving this R/C Truck you won't want to stop.
I highly recommend getting these optional extras because it wasn't long after I had the Earthquake I was back online ordering them myself.
Redcat Racing Wheelie Bar, a must if you want to keep your front wheels on the ground and pump up the power.
Venom 20C 2S 3200mAh 7.4V Hard Case LiPo Battery with Universal Plug x2 Packs, just to give you even more power.
Be sure to check all your nuts and bolts before and after your run. Due to the immense power of this truck, and the fact it will take a bit of bashing while you get used to driving it, things might get a little lose, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
The ABSOLUTELY AWESOME Redcat Racing Earthquake Monster Truck gets 4.5 out of 5 Burnouts (hands down)!
Really, REALLY FAST!!
Aluminum Capped Oil Filled Big Bore Shocks
Brushless ESC EZRUN-80A
4-wheel drive shaft transmission
2.4GHz Radio, Qty. 2 - 7.4v 3200mAh 20c LIPO Batteries & Charger Included
Radio requires 8 AA Batteries (Not Included)
