The Fabulous – Facebook – Fasade
Have you ever taken a photo of yourself and saw all the flaws and thought . . . I wish I could photoshop that? But it's real life, right? The Fabulous Life of Facebook works the same way. We take our ordinary life, flaws and all, and write a fabulous post – minus the mundane – and thus, tweak our "picture of life."
Who wants to hear that you can't think of another way to make "Chicken" for dinner? Who wants to hear that you have 9 more loads of laundry and you haven't washed your hair since Wednesday? or that you ran out of gas on the way to soccer, and you feel like a dummy.
My life is pretty average. I have 4 kids, and like most, I spend my days doing laundry, cooking dinner, making school lunches, running kids to and from soccer practice, art, music lessons, help with school projects, throw in a daily workout, write articles and try to scratch off the "To Do List" faster than items HOP on it.
In between all the laughter, the tears, the 2 year old hollering "EAT" EAT" EAT" & the 3 boys running in the house with new "tree house" ideas & school projects, something out of the ordinary will happen, that I need to post to Facebook; something fabulous, something worthy of celebration, that's outside the realm of my laundry-piling, meal-cooking, diaper-changing day.
It reminds me of planning our Annual Family Photo; it takes a couple of weeks to figure out what everyone is wearing; we have to match colors on some level, organize outfits, have backups in case there are food spills and . . . you know the drill.
We typically do outdoor shots, and though the picture turns out fabulous, because our photographer, Crissy, is so talented, what I remember most are the gnats swarming around our heads, the dog spotting a duck across the pond and racing like a grey hound to catch it, the kids begging to play at the park and the baby crying because we had placed her in a red wagon, where she thought we were leaving her forever.
I remember after arranging all the clothes, loading everything in the car and arriving at our location, we had forgotten the babies' pants. Oh Dear God. A turtle neck and a diaper, NICE! And yet, the picture you see, is the Great American family, well put together – Living the Dream. That's right . . . Livin' the Dream!
We get our kids all dressed to see Santa Claus. They're in red and plaid; the older kids are posing because you want them to – and the baby is screaming like mad, while the Santa Helper is clanging a bell to get their attention. It's all about the "Money Shot." Getting the kids to smile at the camera, all the while your upper lip is sweating. It's craziness. This isn't real life. But we need to get the "Facebook" moment.
I have a friend that sends Christmas pictures of what REALLY happens when their family photo is taken. It's hilarious. There's always someone crying, one kid is goofing off and it's AWESOME. To be honest, it makes for a better story. It makes me laugh so hard and the memory of that day is more precious.
So instead of "photo shopping" your life for the "Facebook" Moment, post the good, the bad and the mundane. Just as "Chicken Soup" is Good for the Soul, posting "Real Life" is Good for the Spirit. We're all in This Together. Here's to truly living your life, inside out!

Our bodies talk to us. You just have to listen. I look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone who makes this book part of their life's culinary journey. I hope that this blog will be the beginning of an open dialogue about our abilities to successfully work with the concept of "conscious eating" and learn more and more about our ever-expanding power for "self-nourishment."

Affirming Nourishment
Tuesday, February 22, 2011
Reconsidering the Idea of Nourishment
"The way of the heart is the foundation of this book, a cookbook for body & soul. When we listen with our hearts, we hear the way to our personal nourishment. And if we follow our hearts in the way of food, we will be nourished. A plate of food has a story to tell and its story touches us, moves us, fills us. I have talked with many people during the creation of this book and, without exception, when they begin to remember and relate their memories, feelings and thoughts about the recipes they are sharing, a light appears on their countenances and a lilt frames their voices."
"Stories are clues and guides to our deepest sources of nourishment. They come from the heart of our nature and speak with great authority about what is meaningful to us. They are our personal authorities, because they are our personal experiences, rich with all that connects us to life."
Please feel free to leave comments with your own stories about family recipes and food experiences, and why they are meaningful and nourishing to you.

An All-Business Display
The Samsung SyncMaster 172X ($650 street) is a sleek 17-inch LCD monitor with some attractive features but not a lot of extras. You do get analog and digital connections, good viewing quality at angles, and good image quality, albeit at a premium price.
The monitor has a surprisingly narrow bezel, and the angled, hinged stand adds to the panel's slim, lightweight design. The tilt and height adjustments are adequate, but have a more limited range than those of other LCDs. The power, analog, and digital cable connections are readily accessible in the back of the base, and both analog and digital cables are included, making setup easier.
The small gray plastic control buttons arranged along the bottom of the panel have tiny embossed icons that are nearly impossible to see under normal lighting conditions, and the on-screen menu system is a bit more awkward to use than some others. Fortunately, the monitor includes the cool MagicTune, which lets you make screen adjustments from your computer. The utility is supposed to work with analog or digital connections, but we discovered in our testing that it may not work with digital signals from older graphics adapters.
Image quality is generally good, though the response at the darkest gray levels is weak, especially with a digital signal. Color ramps are generally smooth, but we saw some slight banding when using a digital connection. Color tracking and brightness uniformity were good, and there were no apparent pixel defects. Viewing angle effects were good, but brightness dropped off significantly at about 45 degrees, and viewing from above resulted in significant hue changes. The MagicBright feature lets you adjust the screen for different applications, such as text editing or Web browsing.
Samsung claims a 12-ms response time for this monitor, though this is based on the industry standard black-white-black cycle. According to a company representative, switching between shades of gray can take up to three times as long. Motion on the monitor looked better than average, but still not as crisp as on a CRT.
The slim design of the Samsung SyncMaster 172X, with its thin bezel, makes the monitor pretty to look at whether the power is on or off. The computer-based control utility and digital connection also add value. But the monitor doesn't have extras such as speakers, USB ports, or video inputs (composite and s-video, for example). Also, the faster pixel response time, though nice, does not address the slower gray-to-gray response and is not that much of a consideration for most office applications, so many users may want to go with monitors that perform about as well but are as much as one-third less.

If you've ever planned a wedding or even been to one, you know that weddings are an absolute gold mine. From flowers and cakes to caterers and favors, brides and grooms shell out the big bucks for their big day. If you're ready to turn your photography hobby into a profession, wedding photography is where it's at. For a recession-proof career that lets you make your own schedule, check out these top-rated courses that we recommend:
- Wedding Photography
- Wedding Videography
- Professional Wedding Photography
- The Business of Wedding Videography
- How to Price Your Photography for Top Dollar
Does your current career let you make your own schedule and give you flexible income? Wedding photography does. Udemy can get you started. With five-star ratings, these courses have been tested and rated by other users, so you can check out the reviews and comments to find the course that's right for you. While you're looking around, don't forget to take advantage of Udemy's half-price introductory offer when you create an account. You could get a full education for your new career for a fraction of what these courses would cost you elsewhere.
The professionals teaching the wedding courses can help you do your first wedding right by:
- Making a shot list of the photos every couple wants.
- Taking a praise-worthy family photo.
- Making sure you're prepared so nothing goes wrong on the big day.
- Communicating with the bride and groom, so they become satisfied customers who pass your name onto others.
- Exchanging business cards with other providers who can help sell your services.
- Knowing when to hire an assistant.
- Learning the benefits of multiple cameras.
- Knowing how to be bold so get good shots without being intrusive.
- Learning how to position groups and keep people smiling.
- Seeing opportunities to capture genuine emotion.
- Helping the bride and groom into natural, romantic poses.
- Cataloging the little details of the big day.
- Making sure all the right people are featured in the album.
- Editing the album so your best work shines through.
- Protecting your art and selling competitive packages.
- Expanding your business through word of mouth.
With Udemy.com, you can get a full education in the things you really need to succeed as a wedding photographer: business advice, website management, wedding photography skillz or editing. You can even take a class on preparing your income tax. When you customize your education online, you only pay for the courses you really need. That doesn't happen with other photography programs where you're required to take the courses some administrator picks for you (often leaving you with zero business management knowhow.) At Udemy, you only pay to fill in the gaps in your own knowledge.
Be a Better Photoshop Editor
If you need to focus on editing your photo, Udemy offers a variety of courses to help you get your skills up to speed, so you can profit from the wedding industry with the best of them. No matter what level your currently at, Udemy lets you progress at your own pace. From beginner to advanced, upping your editing ability is often the best way to make your portfolio shine. Do a search to find what you're looking for, or check out these offerings to see what's available:
- Exceptional Wedding Video Editing
- Advanced Digital Photography
- Turn Your Blah Photos into Wow Photos
- Photoshop for Photographers
- Photoshop 101
Don't waste your time enrolling in a photography program only to cover topics you already know. There's nothing like getting advice from genuine professionals who can give you practical, real-world experience. Get into the industry faster by working at your own pace on the topics you really need to cover. If you're already a master of photography and editing, consider some courses on business management or marketing:
- How to Go from Idea to Business
- How to Start a Business
- How to Market Locally
- Social Media Marketing for Business
- Small Business Marketing
Build Your Online Presence
Most of the time, it's not enough just to take great photos. You'll need to present yourself online and market your skills locally. Once you've got your business up and running, look into some ways to spread the word like a website or blog. You probably already know that an online presence will help you get more clientele, but you may not know the best way to go about building your business online. In that case, consider some social media coursework like:
Udemy.com gives you all the tools you need to turn wedding photography into a genuinely lucrative, flexible career. At Udemy.com, you can customize your education, and only pay for what you need. You decide which courses will fit your needs best with a rating system that lets you know you're getting quality content. No other wedding photography program can offer such specific and relevant programming that's tailored to your needs. Even better, the courses at Udemy cost a fraction of what it would cost to get this degree from a university or trade school. That makes Udemy.com the savvy way to invest in yourself.
Choose a Versatile, Mobile Program
Perhaps the biggest benefit of our courses is the versatility of the program. It is perfect for people who need to learn on the go. With the Udemy app, you can get started on your new career while commuting to work or waiting in a bread line. You can learn when it suits your schedule, when you're on holiday, when you're waiting for an appointment. Learn whenever, wherever and turn your downtime into educational time.
Diversify Your Photography Skills
We've already discussed how Udemy.com offers distinct advantages over other wedding photography programs from customization to mobility—and of course, price. Moreover, Udemy.com gives you the chance to diversify your business as you go. Enhance your portfolio with Family Portrait Photography or Fashion and Glamour Photography. If you want to pursue a broader audience, you can specialize in food photography or fine art. Get secrets from award-winning professional photographers and take a shortcut to success while avoiding common mistakes. When you know where you want to go, Udemy helps you get there.
Teach Your Own Course
Don't forget that once you've mastered your own wedding photography business, you can create your own content and upload it to Udemy.com to add another income stream to your ever-increasing profits.
At the end of the day, wedding photography makes a great flexible career choice, so you can spend more time doing the things you love with the people that matter. Isn't it time you turned your hobby into a lucrative business where you only answer to yourself (and the occasional bridezilla?) You owe it to yourself to pursue an education that will take you where you want to go, and there's one word for where to start: Udemy.

A Providence Journal editorial, published yesterday, once again took as gospel Rhode Island's ranking in the Tax Foundation's State Business Tax Climate Index. The editorial was happy that our state moved from #44 in the rankings to #41. "But obviously," says the editorial, "there is more work to be done."
How terrible of the ProJo to ignore writing on its own pages that directly refutes the validity of the Tax Foundation (and other state rankings as well).
About a year ago, in response to last years Tax Foundation report, Economist Douglas Hall, director of Economic and Fiscal Policy at the Economic Progress Institute, wrote an oped explaining why these rankings are worse than meaningless and actually quite harmful.
Hall wrote, "The collective hand-wringing brought on by Rhode Island's placing on the latest Tax Foundation's 'State Business Tax Climate' is misguided at best, and at worst points to public policy choices that could undermine, rather than facilitate the Ocean State's economic growth and recovery."
Hall noted that three of the sates with the "worst business tax climates" are New Jersey, New York, and California, sates that are doing great in business. The top three states, Wyoming, South Dakota and Alaska all have robust fossil fuel extraction economies. That's not something Rhode Island can emulate.
In essence, these state rankings are useless and dangerous. Grading the States, a website that tackles the issue of these rankings and exposes their serious flaws, is a great resource to learn more about this problem. Their one line analysis of the Tax Foundation's business ranking?
"Combining more than 115 features of state tax law into a single index number produces a state ranking that turns out to bear very little relationship to what businesses actually pay in one state vs another."
Kowtowing to these business rankings perpetuates a race to the bottom which benefits no one but the one percent. The ProJo knows this, they have printed this in their own pages, but they continue to pander this lie to convince you that your interests and the interests of corporations somehow align.
Be wary of tax cuts suggested by anti-tax economic fundamentalists. They are not providing facts, they are selling you a fiction that will ultimately cost you everything.

Guidance & Support
The maximum group size is 10 guests, and we are happy to run a retreat for just one person. Our focus is on providing the best possible outcome for each guest in a way that is sustainable for us. As such, there is plenty of time to communicate with everyone in an intimate and welcoming environment.
Experience has shown that some people need lots of support to go through their process, while others need much less. By limiting the group size to ten, we are able to give people what they need.
During our work with the plants and Ayahuasca, the medicine can express itself in your dreams, visions, thoughts/emotions and physical body, and this at times can be a confusing and overwhelming process. As you release energies that no longer serve you, you can experience discomfort.
We hold a space for you to safely go through this process of transformation. Solitude and space are necessary to face yourself and to go within, but you can do so secure in the knowledge that we are there if needed. The intimacy of a small group also allows for in-depth sharing between guests, and this mutually supportive environment can often be an important part of the healing process.
There are daily check-ups to see how everyone is doing and to provide spiritual guidance/support when required. This could be a 10-60 minute conversation or a shamanic healing. As well as this, we meet up on ceremonial days and when the diet plants are served, providing a welcome chance to touch base with others.
Our aim is to help you find the source of guidance and support within.

The monsters under your bed have come alive… in graphic design. Some of the freshest new designs are coming from artist Rob Hodgson, UK resident who creates everything from customized pencils to children's books. Hodgson reaches into the inner child and brings it to life with whimsical and new illustrations that rocket one right back in time and make us want to redecorate our bedrooms with monsters, cats, and all sorts of funky things.
One of my favorite projects is his ongoing work with cats. Clearly inspired by the real deal Hodgson manages to capture the spunky and sneaky personalities of these animals though his brilliant designs. We all want to be cat people after seeing his work!
Well worth the follow for @berthodgson he will keep your feeds forever in bright colors and fanciful ideas.
Kudos to this art from across the pond.

FAP Turbo: The Best Money Trading Forex Robot Online
Quickly rising in popularity, FAP Turbo is one of the very few online Forex trading systems.
New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 09/17/2013 --Quickly rising in popularity, FAP Turbo is one of the very few online Forex trading systems that is actually verified and backed a number of companies such as EA Lab and Midwest Accounting LLC. But is FAP Turbo just hype piled on top of false claims and shady profit margins? Or is FAP Turbo actually one of the most impressive, profitable, and intelligent Forex trading systems on the web?
Advantages of Trading the Forex
You can start trading and raking in profits with as little as $50.
$3 trillion exchanged every day, and so opportunity is everywhere.
Can make trades and profit anytime
Profit from both rising and falling prices.
Absolutely no size limit--trade as much or as little as you want.
What Separates FAP Turbo From the Other Guys
One of the things that separates FAP Turbo apart from the other Forex trading tools, robots and software lies in the claims made by its creators. Many Forex robots use "back-testing" results as a way to justify the robots profitability, when in fact back testing proves absolutely nothing. That's right, zilch. This is, of course, unless those back tested results can also be proven through a live trading account, and not just with a demo. This is exactly what the makers of FAP Turbo have done.
Through their testing stages, FAP Turbo returned with a hefty net profit of 10,607% over the course of 2 years alongside approximately 14,088 trades. After some bugs were fixed and changes made, FAP Turbo went live, and was able to bring in the following gains:
$500 deposit turned into $1,100 within a time frame of 2 months.
$2,500 deposit turned into $8,700 within a time frame 45 days.
$5,100 deposit turned into $25,100 within a time frame of only 30 days.
FAP Turbo is also backed by a number of highly respected individuals within the Forex trading community, such as Loz Lawn, a professional Forex trader and creator of the Daily Trading System. Possibly one of the best things about using the FAP Turbo Forex robot is that it requires absolutely no previous trading experience or expertise, something any beginning trader can definitely appreciate.
Who Can Benefit From FAP Turbo?
Absolutely anyone can benefit from the FAP Turbo software. FAP Turbo was designed and created by a professional I.T. programmer, not a trader, so it can be used with ease and success by virtually anyone wanting to reap heavy financial gains through the Forex. The best part is that anyone can trade from any location on the planet and still get the exact same profitable results.
Not a tech-savvy individual? No problem! Even though FAP Turbo was originally designed by tech guys, they knew YOU needed a Forex trading robot that was simple to setup, use, navigate and make trades with. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how ridiculously easy it is to get up and running with the FAP Turbo trading system.
The FAP Turbo Forex trading system is not just a way to pull in some extra cash, it's an entire income solution in itself! This Forex trading system is extremely reliable, straightforward, and gives you, the trader, full control over your own financial destiny.
Will FAP Turbo Still Work Under A Global Financial Crisis?
The answer to this question is a loud and resounding yes. Since FAP Turbo is considered by many to be one of the single best Forex trading systems online, it was built to be accurate and precise during ANY market conditions, no matter how much local or international financial strain there may be. In fact, the makers of the FAP Turbo trading software actually prove that their Forex trading system will work under any conditions.
They provide complete proof of winnings on the weekend of September 13-14, 2008, right after the Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy. That's right, even during the world's worst financial crisis in over 30 years the FAP Turbo system still managed to make a net profit of around $2,000. While FAP Turbo was still making its users profitable, a majority of other Forex trading robots were not prepared for such an event, and so they quickly disappeared, leaving their users out to dry with empty pockets.
These 10 cold hard facts make the FAP Turbo Forex trading system one of the best of its kind:
- Profited during back-tests.
- 100% automated, hands free trading system.
- Automated risk scaling.
- High levels of trade activity, with anywhere from 10 to 20 trades made per week.
- A trademarked High Spread Protection System.
- Simple 1-click installation.
- Trades with multiple currencies.
- Trademarked Built In Loss Prevention feature.
- Very low drawdown.
- Profits with real money.

On July 7, Providence Children's Museum debuts Discovery Studio, a vibrant new space for hands-on art and science exploration, where rotating programs inspire children's open-ended investigation and creative expression.
An extension of the Museum's exhibits, programs provide imaginative play and learning experiences that invite children to experiment with interesting materials, try new things, test their ideas, and make their own choices. Each week in Discovery Studio, families delve into a different theme with multiple activity stations and an intriguing selection of materials. Children use magnifying glasses to examine natural objects, investigate sand and water, explore the art and science of light and color, and much more. Challenges and ideas for further exploration foster kids' creativity, encouraging them to use their imaginations, experiment with new ideas and forms of expression, and develop and test their own theories.
Part art studio and part nature lab, Discovery Studio's beautiful environment is designed to inspire wonder, surrounding visitors with children's work and artful objects — shells, prisms, gears and living things — plus earthy colors and abundant natural light, creating a relaxed yet stimulating atmosphere.
A documentation wall allows Museum staff and visitors to capture, reflect on and share what children are doing and learning in Discovery Studio. The Museum has often documented a child's work and his or her process through stories and photos, but the Studio offers an opportunity to document more often, to be more deliberate about recording and communicating what's happening, and to prompt parents and caregivers to notice and appreciate children's creative endeavors. A selection of resources and take-home materials will encourage families to make time for imaginative exploration at home.
Discovery Studio will also help Providence Children's Museum raise awareness about the importance of creative play for children's healthy development.  "We need to nurture childhood creativity and ensure it extends into adulthood," said Museum Executive Director Janice O'Donnell. "One important way to do this is to provide plenty of opportunities for open-ended play and exploration. Discovery Studio is designed to do just that."
This Summer in Discovery Studio
Discovery Studio is open for self-guided exploration each Thursday through Monday, with some facilitated activities. Each week, try out a different theme with activities appropriate for a wide range of ages.
July 7 – 11 – Opening Celebration! Sample a selection of imaginative activities that will be offered in Discovery Studio. Build with colorful blocks and prisms, create crafts that catch the sun's rays, and explore the art and science of water, color and light.
July 14 – 18 – Nature Investigators Create with and examine objects from the natural world.
July 21 – 25 – Block Builders Tackle engineering challenges with an assortment of interesting blocks.
July 28 Â- August 1 – Earth and Water Investigate the movement of water, scoop sand and sculpt clay.
August 4 – 8 – Animal Adventures Create critters, craft wild habitats and encounter live animals.
August 11 – 15 – Light and Color Experiment with the art and science of color mixing.Â
August 18 – 24 – Texture Trace Experience sensory explorations from mild to messy.Â
August 25 – 31 – Re-Constructors Sculpt and build with an artful array of recycled materials.
Providence Children's Museum is the best place for summer fun, inside AND out! In addition to Discovery Studio explorations, also Get Out! for hands-on activities in the Children's Garden on Tuesday afternoons, and climb aboard a different vehicle during Wheels at Work each Wednesday morning. Click here <http://childrenmuseum.org/calendar.asp> for program details. And learn about the inspiration for Discovery Studio on the Museum's blog. <http://providencechildrensmuseum.blogspot.com/>

I'm reading Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz. It's been so long since I've wanted this book and when I spied it on the shelf of our local bookstore yesterday, I immediately bought it. (Little to no guilt)
So far I've been so engrossed that after service, as my friends and I sat down for a meal, I shared to them the hard hitting stuff the seven chapters (so far) had brought me. I love falling in love with a book, and a book that challenges the way I think is always up on that category.
Sometimes I worry that I place my faith on a high shelf, never to be seen or accessed by people around me. People know that I'm a Christian, they acknowledge that I am, but I wonder if the Christianity people see is the cookie-cutter view of Christians as boring, straight as a ruler type of life that is as colorful as our freshman monochromatic painting exercise on light to dark; or the type that sees picket fences and "God hates ____" and a myriad of things that 'God' and 'God's people' hate. Sometimes people have this careful, wide-eyed, curious-but-should-I-ask look on their faces when they find out about my faith. Sometimes I beat them to it and ask them if they're uncomfortable. (They usually laugh uncomfortably then settle now that that's out in the open.)
There are many things that are true for me about Christianity – mostly, how God doesn't make sense sometimes and He does anyway. The fact that He loves all of His creation, and me included, even when I didn't read my Bible out of a fit. The fact that His love isn't performance-based, yet I still catch myself trying to 'just do it'. The fact that I'm no better than any human yet spend the majority of my ride to work fuming at how people can't respect the simple hierarchy of a queue.
On good days, when I feel joyful about my faith, I spew out Bible passages like they're embedded in my soul and people in need of encouragement can access it well enough like an open tap. On bad days, when I don't feel so great about myself, it goes down to a trickle, which makes me fuss about it more. When I've settled into my 'Christianity', I feel like I should be the strong one, the brave one, the good one. It's never comforted me once.
I like how Donald Miller asked himself how he could ever have thought of himself as above God's grace. I think for the most part, when pride enters, I think of myself as somebody who's all around capable – this narcissistic view that looks like independence, that is cognizant of a God but no, thanks, I'm still good and I don't need You. Pride disguises itself as self-reliance, when in fact, nobody is above grace that he doesn't need God's help, or love, or God Himself. When I was younger, I used to not pray about some of the things I want because I thought God couldn't possibly entertain mundane requests from me, a kid living a middle class B life who just wants a Playstation 2, when kids in Africa couldn't even eat. When I grew older, I sometimes thought my prayers were silly because now I want a Note 2, when there are children armies or slave trades. That doesn't make me more socially concerned, and as Donald Miller pointed out, it didn't make him any more loving either. It just made me feel like I held God in contempt because I viewed His grace as something that should score really big in His books, when really, God's grace is something I didn't deserve and still He gave it anyway.
Today in preaching, our pastor noted that God loved us as children in a way that there isn't a first child to youngest, or an adopted child, but He loves us all equally like each of us were Kid Number One, through Jesus who is the Kid Number One Alpha. It's promising because it helps to just step back and look again at where it started, all of this Christianity business, to a God who loved so much, Man on the Cross. And after that, pride has nothing on it. We like being on the position of giver, but truthfully? When I faced God today, I'm in the position of receiver – and there's absolutely nothing I can do to pay it back, and just accept it with humility. The only thing, I think, that God tasks me with what He gives is that I share. It's difficult to love people – especially of different backgrounds, cultures, upbringing – yet His very heart was that right after putting Him as first in our lives, He wants us to put others second to Him. It's not that my needs are insignificant to Him – it's just that His love already covers that completely. It's comforting that love is all-encompassing, crazy, will-do-anything-and-everything love that brought Jesus down to earth to be frail human JUST so that we don't have to experience eternity in pain. But how many people actually know this? How many people actually understand what it means? If pride was never an issue, wouldn't we see the far-reaching effects of such a love to a broken humanity? And I do want to see.
Faith is not meant to be placed on a high shelf. God's love is not on a pay-per-view TV. "Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself." I realize that's right.
…And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
– Ephesians 3:17-19
*quoted from Blue Like Jazz

Taking public transportation – destination: Neomobile.
I find my way to work very interesting because of how the world is becoming more and more connected. Living in the eternal city of Rome is about living in such an international city where I am surrounded by people who come from different nationalities.
In my way to Neomobile I always listen to music. My favorite kind of music is the symphony of the different accents of people talking around me. And then I travel…I travel with them, into their words, into their sounds. I got so used to this music that I feel it is "THE" music that drives my life and my relationships with others. The name I gave to it is the Diversity Symphony.
Indians, Brazilians, Italians, Germans, people from everywhere following their destinies and routines. All those people coming and going, with a mix of so many kinds of rhythms. I'm proud of my Brazilian accent; it shows a little bit about me, about my personality.
Arriving at Neomobile: Buon giorno a tutti – I say in Italian.
My experience working for Neomobile has been great so far. And this is not the only reason I smile. I smile every day because I am Brazilian and I try to pass the positive energy which characterizes the culture I come from. It is important not to forget who you are and where you come from. It is important to learn from others and make synergies. Cultural synergies should become part of the daily life. There are always new things we can learn from each other and teach others.
Working for Neomobile
As an HR Partner for Latin America I have to deal continually with my colleagues in Brazil, Colombia & Mexico. I face an international environment on a day to day basis through my interaction with the employees. It's fun, but when the Diversity symphony starts to play, we have to follow and keep in mind that respecting and having an empathic approach towards others are relevant in all aspects – it goes beyond our business.
Opening up my mind is becoming part of my routine. It is an everyday process because every day something different happens. Working for Neomobile means working in a diverse team, in a multicultural environment where everyone is motivated to interact and have equal opportunities to show their points of view.
So, how do you live diversity @ Neomobile?

- Easily used by ships maintenance staff right out of the box
- Instant indication of condition for motor bearings, gears, compressors, slewing rings, hoists, winches...
- Plan maintenance and have the spares available on time. Minimise off-hire and demurrage.
On-Highway - Applications & Environment
Over-the-road trucks enjoy the relative advantage of an environment that is reasonably contamination-free. They further enjoy the ability to receive reasonably prompt and competent aid when mechanical problems arise. For this reason your primary focus might be on testing the oil to:
- Spot revealing contamination that indicates an operating problem
- Extend oil changes with safety, reducing the costs of oil and disposal thereof
Spectrometric wear metals, of course, are also routinely performed, however the contaminant metals that are simultaneously detected as part of the testing process are equally important for identifying, e.g., abrasives or coolant additives. Tier 3 testing is oftentimes the 'best' solution for OTR operations, however, there can be an advantage to having Tier 1 Oil Condition sensors fitted for engines operating in sufficiently benign conditions, such that extended drain potential justifies their installation. Consider the following:
Sending samples to an off-site (Tier 3) lab can be time consuming once sample taking, submission, testing and reporting have been taken into account. Using a Tier 1 Oil Condition sensor may alert you that any problem exists, allowing immediate action to be taken.
SUMMARY: Tier 3 testing is the appropriate general approach for the Trucking Industry; however there is the very real prospect of extended oil drain achievement in a safe manner that also has the key potential to reveal developing problems at the outset, while providing an attractive means to mitigate the time delays associated with Tier 3 testing.

Polarcus Innovation in Seismic Vessel Design
Polarcus Limited received its eighth 3D seismic vessel on 21 June 2012 when Polarcus Adira was delivered at Ulstein Verft in Norway. The vessel is the second of two 12-14 streamer Arctic 3D seismic vessels built at the yard, and is the eighth vessel in the Polarcus fleet of the Ulstein SX134 design.
The marine geophysical company Polarcus Limited received its eighth 3D seismic vessel on 21 June 2012 when Polarcus Adira was delivered at Ulstein Verft in Norway. The vessel is the second of two 12-14 streamer Arctic 3D seismic vessels built at the yard, and is the eighth vessel in the Polarcus fleet of the Ulstein SX134 design, characterized by the sleek Ulstein X-bow hull design the shipbuilder has become known for. The sistership Polarcus Amani was delivered by the yard at the end of March. Earlier vessels were built under license by Drydocks World Dubai LLC.. They include Polarcus Nadia (2009), and Polarcus Naila (2010), 12 streamer vessels of type SX124, Polarcus Asima (2010) and Polarcus Alima (2011), 12 streamer vessels of type SX134, Polarcus Samur (2011) and the Russian flag vessel Vyacheslav Tikhonov (2011), 8 streamer vessels of type SX133. The other vessels carry Bahamas flag. All vessels are designed by Ulstein Design and Solutions AS.

Polarcus Limited, registered on the Oslo Stock Exchange, operates a fleet of high performance 3D/4D seismic vessels. Polarcus offers contract seismic surveys and multi-client projects worldwide and employs over 500 professionals. The company's principal office is in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Main vessel data
The hull of Polarcus Adira and Polarcus Amani were built at Kerch Shipyard Zaliv in Ukraine. As is the custom for the ships built by Ulstein Verft shipyard in Ulsteinvik. This was the seventh hull built at the yard.
The vessels are equipped with streamer winches, towing points and gun winches. The X-bow hull line design, combined with a redundant diesel-electric propulsion system, ensures good performance with regard to speed and fuel consumption. The overall length of Polarcus Adira, yard number 293, is 92m and the breadth is 21m, which is identical to those of sister vessel Polarcus Amani. Depth to main deck is 9.0 m, design draft is 6.5m and maximum draught 7.5 m.
The deadweight at maximum draught is 4,472dwt. Gross tonnage is 7709GT and net tonnage 2313NT.
The hydrodynamic efficiency of the X-BOW, result in good sea-keeping abilities, it also provides a safe and comfortable workplace for the crew both during transit and seismic surveys, as it eliminates slamming. The soft entry in waves also reduces spray and eliminates icing. The vessel is equipped with a helideck (D-value 22.2 m, 12t, UK-CAA CAP-437 suitable for Sikorsky S-61N / S-92) for added safety and to ensure an efficient crew change, and is built according to IMO code of safety for Special Purpose Ships (SPS), enabling it to operate worldwide. The vessel has two workboats, by Westplast, and a Norsafe MOB boat onboard and six life rafts each for 35 persons with dedicated davit.
The vessel has diesel-electric propulsion. The main propulsion system comprises two Wärtsilä 9L26 main diesel generators, each 2920ekW at 1000rpm, plus four Wärtsilä 9L20 1710ekW diesel generators, at 1000rpm. The generators are supplied by ABB. The total power is 12,680ekW.
There are two propellers of controllable pitch type in nozzles, the shaft line of each driven by two variable speed electric motors through twin in-single out reduction gears type Scana Propulsion ACGTS 1000. All diesel engines have selective catalyst reactor (SCR) units, supplied by H+H Umwelt, to reduce NOx emissions. NO2 emissions are reduced by some 90% to 98%, soot by 20% to 30% and hydrocarbon emissions by 80% to 90%. There are two ABB electric propulsion motors in parallel configuration on each side, each motor 0-2200ekW, 0-1000rpm. The two controllable pitch propellers in nozzles, supplied by Scana Propulsion, each absorb 4400kW at 160rpm and have a diameter of 3700mm. There is an Caterpillar emergency generator with a power of 240ekW.
The vessel runs on marine gas oil (MGO) with low sulphur content. The Fuel oil (MDO) capacity is 2030 cu.m. and fresh water capacity 1032 cu.m.. The vessel can also carry ballast water/tech. fresh water 2170 cu.m., lube oil 63 cu.m., and urea for the catalysts reactors 289 cu.m. Towing pull in seismic operation is 82t. Bollard pull exceeds 125t. Polarcus Adira has a maximum speed of 17 knots, at 5.5m draft.
There is one 1200kW tunnel thruster forward equipped with a controllable pitch propeller and one 850 kW retractable azimuth thruster forward. There is one tunnel thruster aft, 830 kW, controllable pitch.
The vessel is equipped with a roll damping tank system. There are two fresh water generators, each producing 15 cu.m./24h. There are two fuel oil separators, self cleaning type and three lube oil separators. In addition there is one mobile hydraulic oil separator and a USCG approved bilge water separator. A ballast water treatment system is installed.
Switchboards, navigation and DP
Ulstein Power & Control has delivered the switchboards 690V, 400V and 230V, the emergency switchboard, and the communication and information system type Ulstein COM® to the vessel. Alse the bridge control and navigation system is of Ulstein delivery. The vessel has a Kongsberg Maritime Dynamic positioning system, DP2 type, and has two DGPS, and a radius reference system. There is preparations for Kongsberg's HiPAP 500 high precision acoustic positioning. The integrated automation system is supplied by Høglund Marine Automation.
Arctic class
Polarcus Adira is an Arctic-ready vessel designed and built for operations in Arctic waters carrying the ICE-1A* and Winterized Basic notations from Det Norske Veritas, the classification company of these vessels. Polarcus Adira can operate in first-year ice of up to 1 metre thickness without the assistance of icebreaker. The hull is ice-reinforced and the vessel has de-icing and ice-preventing systems at critical tanks, pipelines and systems, and the propellers, gears and thrusters are dimensioned for withstanding operations in ice. Escape corridors and rescue equipment are also protected against icing during Arctic operations.
The hull form is not really icebreaking, why the intention is to do the work in open water. 3D seismic acquisition will only take place in ice-free water. The Arctic qualities of the vessel enables the vessel to relocate through ice to and from the survey area, or remain in icy areas waiting for the ice to clear, increasing the operational window of the vessel.
Seismic equipment
Polarcus' worldwide service capabilities encompass conventional 3D surveys and sophisticated wide- and multi-azimuth projects, high-density 4D development surveys. Polarcus Adira is a 3D/4D 12-14 streamer seismic research vessel capable of deploying up to 14 Sercel Sentinel solid streamers. The navigation system is ION Orca and the depth positioning system is of type ION DigiBIRD combined with DigiFIN lateral control and DigiRANGE acoustic ranging, supplied by ION Geophysical Corporation. The seismic air gun source is by Bolt Technology 1500-LL/1900-LLXT with dual sources. The source controller is a fully distributed digital gun Seamap GunLink 4000 controller.
The seismic operation room is located midship over two decks in close vicinity to the seismic winches in the work area. Seismic dedicated areas include a Seismic operation room, Rack room (Server room), Back deck store, Bird shack, Air gun control room, Technical library, Tape store, Tail buoy workshop, Two battery stores and a Streamer store repair room. There are a number of winch systems fitted with radio remote control.
Under an agreement with GX Technology, this global independent data processing company provides the on-board seismic data quality control and when required seismic data processing services on-board Polarcus' vessels, and onshore advanced seismic data processing services at one of its Data Processing Centres.
Accommodation and interior spaces
Polarcus Adira is built with a hotel compliment with permanent capacity for 60 persons in 32 single and 14 double cabins. There is a mess room which seats 43, day rooms, internet café, gym and sauna, as well as a hospital, offices and a conference room. There are three crew state cabins, one client state cabin, twenty-eight one-bed cabins, fourteen two-bed cabins. There are also rooms for dry provision, a cooler and freezer room, and laundries. There is a special helicopter reception room.
The classification company is Det Norske Veritas. The vessel is designed for environmental friendly operations. The vessel carries the Clean Design notation from DNV. A GREEN PASSPORT is issued.

Design isn't just about putting pretty things together. It starts with a space and a need and it takes skill to utilize that space as much as possible while also meeting the clients needs AND making it look pretty! So some of you may be able to find pretty thing and put them together but are you really utilizing the entire space that you have to work with?!
May people, when designing or decorating a space will end the decor at eye level. The reason for this is they're thinking about what people will look at or see when they walk into the room rather than how a room can evoke emotion and make someone feel something just by entering it. If you're trying to accomplish the latter, then it's important move the design above eye level. Consider the ceiling space. Are the ceilings tall? Do you want to accentuate height and make that aspect of the room a feature? Or maybe it's too tall and you need to find a way bring the ceiling back into the space so it feels connected? Does the room feel cramped? Are the ceilings too low? Again, do you want to create the illusion of height? All of these things need to be considered. Lighting can help you accomplish many of these things--accentuating height or creating it. Lighting, of course, is on the top of our list of design aspects in a room and we're always a fan of interesting lighting, but make sure the lighting is working for you the way you need it to and the room needs it to. Want to draw attention to high ceilings, hang a fixture that will draw the eye upwards. Want to make a room with low ceilings feel like the ceilings are higher? Select a decorative semi-flush mount fixture that gives off lots of natural light but doesn't hang too far into the space to overwhelm it.
Does your room feel "finished" but still have something missing that you can't put your finger on. It's greenery. A room without greenery can look finished but feel cold. Greenery (along with other items from nature), do a significant job to warm up a space. They take a beautiful space from intimidating to inviting. So don't overlook this little detail. The plant doesn't even have to be real! A nice looking silk plant can work wonders too! So don't stress about not having a green thumb, fake greenery can work for you as well!
Hang stuff from the ceiling! Again, those little un-used corners of rooms where you don't want to stick a piece of furniture but you feel that it needs something are the best places to hang something decorative. This could be a little pendant light or it could be a plant. Or even just some sort of piece of hanging art---whatever you find that works in your space. Objects hanging from the ceiling create depth and are sortof unconventional so they create a new layer that you might not of thought of but that can make a big impact.
If you have a giant wall and art sure how to utilize the high parts of it, consider a shelf. You'll, very quickly, add extra storage and function while also adding to your design. Go a little larger on your art so it goes higher on the wall or incorporate a built-in for visual weight and height. The key to going higher is to keep the relevance. Does the piece on the wall still feel connected to the room or does it appear to be floating away? "Eye level" is important but there's definitely something to be said for taking a step up!

Exactly What Does It Take to create a Top Hosting Company?
I bet you arrived within vain looking for the very best host for the new website, blog or internet startup. Discovering that elusive top host could be a nightmare sifting through all individuals fake reviews, better offers with much more features. Where will it stop?
I have discussed it before, fake comments are the scourge from the internet. Any product connected by having an affiliate marketing program is plagued using these fake testimonials to ensure that the internet marketer to help make the purchase and obtain his commission. It's become enough where you can purchase reviews within the thousands.
What exactly do to consider inside a top host?
First of all I'll let you know what you don't have to search for. It isn't concerning the endless listing of features, free site builders, galleries and shopping carts. These frequently limit you while you finish up tied to exactly what the host provides with frequently outdated scripts. You may even think more is definitely better, and what is greater than limitless, right? But think about with this particular simple example, just how can everybody choose how big their slice of cake? If a person you discussing with requires a huge chunk, you likely to be playing crumbs. Limitless towards the host provider means, "we all know you most likely will not use much and should you choose we'll stick you and among our acceptable use policies". Don't be seduced by it! Selecting a number which has limits will be a lot safer over time, you could upgrade with reassurance understanding the host is not operating on minute margins attempting to scrimp wherever they are able to!
This is exactly what you need to do consider when searching for a genuine top host
Reliability, support, speed and scalability. If a person of individuals aren't as much as scratch, steer clear it'll only cause headaches lower the road. Top web hosting companies provide excellent hosting, that's it. They don't have to convince you with gimmicks to help you spend your hard-earned cash. Good hosts supply you with the requirements, to allow them to focus on supplying you with the perfect hosting and never getting to invest fortunes on support!
Getting a summary of websites located using the host is a great begin to determine their reliability and speed. Contacting the support via email and telephonically enables you to definitely judge how effective their customer care is. Most significantly when buying a host, research your options. Don't depend on a single websites opinion, the web being an amount platform for those, regrettably can nonetheless be very biased. Avoid top ten lists, it's impossible to check each and every host and single them lower to simply 10. Find and try genuine reviews from real clients, ask buddies regarding their encounters and have a go at online discussion. Find and try and discover what really continues behind the curtain prior to committing to some host. Your time and effort is priceless. Best of luck!

Here are a few tips you can try to deter birds from colliding with or attacking your windows:
- Move your feeders further away from your windows

111th Philippine Independence Day
" June 12, 1898 — The declaration of Philippine Independence
(from Spanish colonial rule) by Filipino revolutionary forces under
the leadership of General Emilio Aguinaldo.
" In the presence of a huge crowd, the declaration, in the form of
a proclamation, was made between four and five in the afternoon
at the ancestral home of General Aguinaldo (later to become the
first president of the first Philippine Republic) in Cavite el Viejo
(now Kawit in Cavite), some 30 kilometers south of Manila.
The event saw the unfurling of the Philippine National Flag
(made in Hong Kong by Mrs. Marcela Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo
and Delfina Herboza) and the playing of the National Anthem
'Marcha Filipina Magdalo' (now 'Lupang Hinirang') composed by
Julian Felipe, as performed by the San Francisco de Malabon
Marching band."
Rules for this "Operation 111" meme:
1. Must be a Filipino.
2. Copy the quotes above stating the history of the proclamation of
Philippine Independence.
3. Tag as many Pinoy Bloggers you know.
4. This tag must be posted on or before June 12, 2009.
Tag ito ni bluedreamer in observance of our national holiday on Friday.
Ni-rephrased ko nang kaunti yang quotation, pero nariyan pa rin ang key info.
Inaanyayahan ko ang lahat ng Bloggistang Pinoy na makilahok sa tag na ito.
Ignore nyo na lang yung Page 2. 😆

Jerome Esplana is a hiphop dancer/choreographer from Vancouver & he's really stepping it up. There are some creative people out here. This choreography of "Burn" by MeekMill & Big Sean is just on a whole another level…. but I'll let the video do the talking!

HiI can connect to pi remotely & the pi is running a vnc server. I want connect to the remote desktop what settings do i use for Protocol & Host ?Do I select use host as a ssh tunnel and if so what do i put in there?
I cannot upload screen shot because I am a new user
I've used Weaved with both tightvncserver on port 5901 and RealVNC on port 5900.
The Pi installer has a menu entry for VNC which defaults to using port 5901 (assuming tightvncserver).If you're using RealVNC, set 5900 as the port instead of choosing the default.
In general, though, you can also set it up as a custom TCP service, answer "No" to the question about whether it's a web protocol, and use the port that your VNC server is using. The VNC entry in the Pi installer is a shortcut for doing this.
When you connect, you'll get a popup dialog as shown.
You can try the Flash VNC client (option 1), which opens directly in your browser. This doesn't always work, so to use a standalone VNC client, copy the address from option 3 and paste it into your application's address field.
great set up everything again installed 2 services vnc & ssh .
how do you mark thread solved in this forum?
Glad to hear it. I marked it.

Grind My Gears: Musician Edition
You, Musicians/Rappers/Producers. YOU grind my gears.
You are like breakfast cereal. You are the flood of Christmas crap commercials that flood the two minute and 2 seconds between snaps on a Sunday. Most of you have no idea why you are doing what you are doing because you are simply emulating corporate maneuvers created by record labels anxious to pillage a teen fan base and A&R's that are too scared to bring in a fresh sound in fear of losing their job.
Say what you will. But i have heard first hand from some of the most respected industry A&R's and producer managers in the game while attending a music conference that shall remain nameless: "Don't try to be different. Don't even try and be one step ahead. Try and be.. like a quarter step ahead of what's going on right now. Copy your favorite rappers. Copy your favorite producers." It was that day that i realized that the "HIP HOP" industry was just that. An industry. A large cookie cutter wearing a chain. The saddest part about all of this is that the afore mentioned philosophy has inspired some of the musicians i looked up to most in my life (national AND local) to follow the trend and amputate the part or parts of themselves that made them special. They ripped out their own artist's heart screaming "KALIMAAAAA!!!" in the hopes of selling more records or gaining more support from a demographic that really, could give 2 shits less about a rapper/musician from Milwaukee.
I implore you.
Some of you may read this and say what the fuck does this guy know. And that's fine.
But I implore you.
Do not give up on the best part of yourself. Do not give up on trying to inspire people in your own way. Do not give up on displaying what makes you different. Do not hide your vulnerabilities as a human in your art. Hell, do not give up on art.
The time will come when this breakfast cereal rap will perish. People don't want to hear this stuff forever. And then how will you reinvent yourself? Most people think that when this phase of rap dies, rap itself will die along with it. I suppose that could be true, but i know i won't ever stop wanting to hear music that means something.
Artists make things that mean something.
