As I am gearing up to drive back to Maryland for a brief visit, I know that I will never forget where I come from.
Where I am in Illinois is a great place spiritually, family-wise, career-wise and physically. Yet none of what I am able to do in Illinois would be possible without my upbringing in Maryland. #StateOfIllinois #MarylandFlag
In like manner, I will never forget that I was first madein the image and likeness of God's Spirit (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7… #InTHATOrder!) before I was formed in my mother's womb in earth (Jeremiah 1:5). Though I reside in the earth; my power, strength, identity and direction comes from heaven that I may rest, rule and abide on earth in CHRIST by bringing my heavenly hometown to where my feet hit the street.
Those that know me from college know that I was always HYPE to represent Maryland throughout my four years in Delaware. The same is true as I am "HYPER" to represent my spiritual state of worth (God's restored righteousness bestowed to me as an inheritance through Jesus Christ) in my physical place of birth. #OnEarthAsItIsInHeaven #DualCitizenship
The same is true for you. Be a king on earth as your Father is in heaven. #Rule

We have all encountered subject matter in our lives that we were not experts in learning or teaching. Each of us has been gifted with a mind that was ultimately made to conform to the mind of Christ. Yet, many of us struggle with having real learning disabilities manifest either in ourselves or our families. I'm talking about dyslexia, autism and other similar mental conditions.
The thing that breaks my heart the most is that we have learned to live with them. We have learned to credit our condition to the Lord as a means to make us stronger or to bless us in some way that is yet to be revealed by God.
This blog entry today is simple. We have access to recovery and healing from mental illnesses in Jesus Christ. He has given as a healthcare policy in the Cross as defined in Isaiah 53:4-5 which prophetically declared the WORK of Jesus Christ on the Cross when it stated:
Surely, he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and WITH HIS STRIPES, WE ARE HEALED. (emphasis added)
Have you ever really looked at your insurance policy for your home, car or life? There are things that we are covered for yet unfamiliar with because we simply buy in to the need for it without fully exploring and LEARNING (committing to memory) all the BENEFITS available to us. Often times, we end up paying for things that are fully covered by our policies due to ignorance.
We have been ignorant to the work of the Cross, people of God! Yes. It has redemptive work in salvation: saving us from separation from God (spiritual death) in reconciliation. Yet if we look at the clauses, it covers so much more. We are COVERED by the blood with SURELY insurance! The BLOOD is represented by the wounds, bruises and stripes mentioned in this scripture.
The wounds cover us from transgressions when we break the laws of God (known and unknown, intentionally and unintentionally).
The bruises cover us from sin within us that we inherit as the generational sins of our fathers.
But the stripes?!! They cover us from the griefs (sickness) and sorrows (mental and physical pains) of life. They restore us.
All of these are afflictions that God has promised to deliver the righteous in Christ from (Psalm 34:19, 2 Corinthians 5:21).
Yes. God is a master strategist. He can take what was meant for evil and use it for good for them that love Him and are "the called" (ekklesia, Greek for the people of the CHURCH) according to His purpose.
But to say that God "made you this way" or blessed you with a child with a mental illness is not how He fearfully and wonderfully made us in HIS IMAGE. It is how that selfsame image has been corrupted and warped by the enemy of God (satan) to undermine the purpose and greatness God made each of us to have so that we are permanently disabled from carrying out the restoration of all things through the name of Jesus and power of the Holy Spirit.
Simply put: God has no mental incapacity in heaven… and neither should you on earth.
May mental wellness spring forth as LIVING WATER in your life on earth as it is in heaven. #LearnToUnlearn SELAH

The reality of life is this:
There are fallacies that incite me to quit.
Despite my wife's plight being legit, sometimes it's not enough.
Despite the colorful spectrum she exudes,
Sometimes inciting wonderful sessions can't be exhumed…
As reciting writing as a Legend is doomed by writhin' in the rough.
Rather, once my drive gets buried beneath winds of unchanged constants,
My rough drafts change into muffled chains of consonants.
I can't blame God for this – sometimes I edify friends with unpurposed words.
Let me spell it out for you:
when I can't even gather words for my best friend
On the day she birthed my bachelor's Quest to end…
I've been saddled worse than equestrians who bet against the Bulls versus the Spurs!
And once there's no son to shine and buff,
Whatever the sun shines in is like a bluff.
Like a diamond in the rough, there's nothing left to reflect upon.
With no light redirected,
Shades of Jade becomes slightly defective
As my plight's left rejected like a pilot light that gets ejected once it bombs.
But how could this be?:
'since you, every rhyme I've devised
Is a lyrical missal of divine design…
You inspire me to climb – who else could make me sing without knowing the song?!!'
The better question to ask is who or what
Can make me depressed and gloomy enough…
To take the 'heir' out of a room – who sucks enough to stoop to such low resolve?
who has come but to steal, kill and destroy
Whatever real zeal that's been deployed
By the real Dealer of a JOY which the world could never give me?
Better 'STEEL' – Who is so splendidly resplendent
That He works best when I have plenty appendages?…
Who senses me through sending a sentenced kindred to forever deliver me?!!
Who's overcome thorns
When a 'rose' was hung and adorned?
Who's better than D. Rose? – who swung for the bleachers
and sprang back after spraining His heel?
Who placed my bride adjacent to me to help quell my achin' heart?
Who put the 'G' in bride to bridge what the devil's spaced apart?…
Who excavates the spark to help me escape the darkness as I scale faith's hill?
He Who provides the paint for me to wield Jade escapades
Is He Who subsides the pains with plains for escalades.
His ways are best displayed when shade is thrown my way!
Rogue rage from rouge waves of ample seethes
Gives way to amber and sirene tangerine
As walls from strongholds fall under the timber (tam-ber) of green thrones –
seated too high to be dismayed.
As such emerald shading
Stamps out flames from an ephemeral Hades,
In general, complaining comes to an ensued and abrupt end.
And as Zion's cyan permeates the landscape,
Its royal scions imbibe and encircle purple pathways
To surround those drowned in hurtful wrath and hate with a renewed trust in Him.
This is the cruxt of the gem
That was just dropped to crush the extent
Of foolishness that rushed in to muddy the remedy for my Living Water.
The Living Water that cleanses my mind's brightness.
The Living Water that replenished the lines to write this…
The Living Water that refracts Christ's Light to split what
was crushing my spirit's emptied borders.
(a continuation and evolution of the poem that started it all as read through the link below):

This is a poem I wrote to honor the three leaders of my 2014-15 Elgin Leadership Academy: Dan Fox, Don Waters and Ruth Munson.
As this gift does many times, it took a life of its own from it's Originator, my Creator: The Lord God. In light of the recent Baltimore riots, it began to take the form of a declaration over the city/region of Elgin: an outcry for the Spirit of God to direct and lead those who are committed to servant leadership and the betterment of others.
I joined this academy in hopes of influencing and being influenced by leaders in this community and count it a blessing to have been involved. The benefits have only just begun to scratch the surface.
'For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.'
– Matthew 18:20
'And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.'
– Ecclesiastes 4:12
My wife presented the name "Josiah" to me for our firstborn son because of the work that King Josiah did in the Old Testament. I became a father for the first time at the age of 30. At the same time, I had come to a place in my life where the Christian traditions of old were meeting Christian revelations of truth that I'd never known before.
When Josiah became King and had the book of the law presented to him (see 2 Kings 22), he saw how Solomon (the King of Israel before him) had established empty traditions among the people in the face of the living God. Solomon had intertwined not just empty traditions but demonic idolatry (the art of worshiping an image or entity in place of or alongside the ONE, TRUE and LIVING God) into reverence of YHWH: the LORD God of Israel.
Despite King Solomon's wisdom, he had become a people-pleaser more so than a pleaser of the most High God. Specifically, he sought to please the various cultures from the hundreds of wives and concubines he had amassed in his reign. The Hebrews had been warned against marrying outside of their people to avoid this very thing: bringing in the customs of different peoples with varying gods (nothing more than demonic powers falsely exalting themselves to distract humanity from the ONE, TRUE and LIVING God). According to the law of their day (specifically, Exodus 20:3-5), this was a BIG mistake:
Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Like King Josiah, when I realized the error in my ways in the idols (anything that I'd placed in front of God) of my life, I tore them down. As such, things like my love of secular Hip-Hop over music that praises and honors God and Alpha Phi Apha Fraternity Inc. over a lifelong pledge to the brotherhood and body of Jesus Christ had to go.
I became adamant that for me to do the work of God in His Kingdom on earth, I had to tear down false doctrine and false gods alike – no matter how familiar and renowned they'd become in my life. Searching my soul and surroundings, I began to find and challenge many different long-standing areas of tradition: religious (done out of customs, repetition and/or ignorance) things that I'd accepted as truths without a real understanding.
This became more of a challenge than I'd ever thought as I began to see traditions established within Christian staples in my life. I'd been raised in a Catholic church, so it was easy for such things to creep in on my attempts to form a relationship with my Heavenly Father.
With Resurrection Sunday still fresh in our minds, I'd like to focus the observation of Easter around one such idol that King Josiah tore down: Ashtoreth:
And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile. – 2 Kings 23:13
For the sake of brevity, let's spell out exactly who/what this Ashtoreth is and the connection to the holiday that Christians such as myself venerate as the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Ishtar (pronounced Easter, apparently) was celebrated in Assyrian and Babylonian culture as the goddess Ishtar of fertility and sex. These aspects of her powers were purportedly symbolized by the egg and bunny, respectively.
Astarte (which is the Greek transliteration of Ishtar adopted into their pantheon of god/desses) is transliterated as the Hebrew name Ashtoreth.
It's that simple. Just like Christmas, as Christianity was spread to the world surrounding it, leaders decided to sway converts by placing Christian holy days such as the birth and resurrection of Christ in the same season as holidays celebrated by pagans. The hope was that the celebratory events would help Christians relate to and proselytize the natives. But what ended up happening is the same thing that King Solomon did: for the sake of a little booty, the culture became intertwined and tainted.
Call it serving God and mammon or whatever you'd like, it simply cannot be done. We will end up hating one in favor of whichever other one feels better to our flesh:
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
– Matthew 6:24
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. – 1 Corinthians 10:21
So what will it be? Will you drink the cup of the Lord purely – or sup at the pimp cup of demons because it has a cute Easter bunny on it with an amuse-bouche of peeps and chocolate eggs?!! God is not amused… and neither am I. I hate what (not people, people!) the Lord hates. Sure. I grew up on Easter baskets and dyeing hard-boiled eggs. YES. It was FUN!
"Dying Easter Eggs"
Is dyeing Easter
Eggs really worth dying for
With an Eastern pledge?!!
But knowing better means doing better. We are consecrated; yet, my consecrated brethren are the same ones who twist up their brows and turn down their noses when I suggest abandoning Easter's Ashtoreth poles that stick out like sore thumbs in the many-membered body of Christ. Simply avoiding saying the word Easter means nothing if you're still dropping Resurrection baskets on your kids and gathering up your family for the annual Resurrection Egg Roll at the White House. Let he who has bunny ears hear.
What do you value most? Let he who has had his sins covered by the Blood of Christ throw away the first jewel-stoned Fabergé egg. SELAH.

These blocks are pretty cheap novelty items that I won at a work retreat but they've come to mean more to me than any movie-themed LEGO brick ever could. These blocks showed my 7-year old son that he can hear from God DIRECTLY.
Have I got your attention? Good!
I brought these blocks home last week to give to my 3-year old daughter since her older brother has ALL the cool LEGOs and she only has a handful. We took them out of the packaging they came in and put them in a ziploc bag so she would be less likely to lose them. Well… if you know little kids, they always find a way to circumvent your best strategies! By the morning, she had lost the entire ziploc bag!
When the evening had come, I asked both of my children when and where was the last time either remembered seeing her with the bag. Josiah (my son) remembered seeing Maiyah (my daughter) walk into her room with them. I took Maiyah to her room to investigate while Josiah was tasked to go to the study to finish up his homework.
Now, I have to pause for a moment to provide some backdrop to the story. During the prior weekend, we'd lost something else. Josiah had been invited to a birthday party so we went to the store to get gifts and a card. Upon leaving Hallmark, we stopped by this shoe store to find some shoelaces for Maiyah before heading home. I remember Josiah having the bag with the card and small gift when we left Hallmark. This was on a Saturday.
By Sunday afternoon (minutes before the birthday party), we couldn't find the bag! When I asked Josiah when and where he last remembered having it, he couldn't remember. At this point, I asked him to ask His Father in heaven to reveal where the bag was while I did the same. His eyes began to tear up with guilt and frustration. When I asked him why he was crying, he said that he was afraid God wouldn't respond to him. The unspoken truth to this that I discerned in him was also that he would feel as though I'd be disappointed that he couldn't hear God speak to him. After easing his grief, I chalked up the bag as a loss and drove to the birthday party.
While en route, the Lord did speak to me and showed me that the bag had been left at the shoe store. Specifically, He showed me that there was a 90% probability that I was the one who had left the bag! I called the store and they confirmed a Hallmark bag was behind the counter with similar contents to our purchase: a card and a small, plush Yoda doll. After apologizing to my son, I dropped him off at the party and went back to get the bag.
Fast forwarding back to this missing bag of blocks, as I stood in Maiyah's room a little disgusted that yet ANOTHER thing had been lost, Josiah came in with the bag in hand. After congratulating him on such a great find, I asked him where he'd found it. Oddly though, he wouldn't tell me. He wanted to show me, instead. I continued to ask him several times until he revealed the secret place. The bag had been in quite an obscure location: underneath a chess table behind a Carrom board.
I was baffled! When I asked my son how he had managed to find the bag in such a weird place that was no where NEAR his sister's room, he still held back. As I studied my son, I discerned his reluctant strategy.
"Did you ask God?"… yes, he replied. "…Did you hear Him tell you that?!!"… yes, he replied again! I. Was. GEEKED! I asked him several times to be sure I hadn't misinterpreted what Josiah was telling me or filled in the blanks for him but he reconfirmed several times that he hadn't seen where the bag was in a vision as much as he heard his Father respond directly to a question he had asked.
This is where it begins, people of God! If you can be faithful over a few things in learning how to seek God, He will make you ruler over many, no doubt! These are the building blocks of a lasting and growing relationship between an earthly son and His Heavenly Father. SELAH.

rout – vb. to defeat decisively or disastrously
rout – n. a disastrous defeat
Any strategist worth his "assault" wanting to become a great strategist must learn to deal with defeat. Once they admit to it, though – great strategists will analyze it to understand his tactics AND the tactics of his enemy that brought about this TEMPORARY loss.
People of God – we are called to be strategic against the strategic tomfoolery (thus, the portmanteau of strategery in the title; as coined by Saturday Night Live's Will Ferrell) of the devil and his insurgents.
Though they have been handed a SOUND defeat in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, they react much like many of the terrorist organizations around the world that were tied to Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden after their deaths. They continue to raise hell in pockets around the globe though the head has been cut off.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? – 1 Corinthians 15:55
We are called to be strategic in our encounters with these insurgents, though. That doesn't mean we won't take an L (loss) along the way. It just means that we will regroup, collect our intel, adjust our strategy and OFFENSIVELY STRIKE (we're not always meant to cower/counter strike in defense) again to beat back those who would attack the Kingdom of God in earth.
This is the nature of being apostolic. It is a term of WAR. Saints, we must analyze our role and the role of the enemy in these battles to overcome and MAINTAIN a victorious stance… in face of, in opposition against, and even as often as the defeats come.
No one likes to be defeated but be encouraged and learn from each loss… for you are MORE than a CONQUEROR in CHRIST!
As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
– Romans 8:36-39
Do you want to know how to be strategic and what the apostolic movement looks like in warring against sickness and disease in your region?

Me (to my son): "Josiah, do I embarrass you sometimes?"
Josiah: "Yes."
Me: "How?"
Josiah: "…"
Even after I told him it was alright to tell me and that he wouldn't get in trouble, he couldn't give me an example. The easiest one is when I tell him "I love him" when I drop him off to KinderCare and make it known as he walks down the hallway that I'm waiting for him to say it back.
I explained to him the difference between being embarrassed by me and being ashamed of me. He said I haven't made him feel shameful of me being his dad but it's almost inevitable that this will happen when he's older.
The reason behind all this was simple: he was embarrassed to pray over his food in front of his friends at a birthday party today. I asked him if God (his heavenly Father) has ever done anything to embarrass him or make him be ashamed of Him. He said "no" but I pointed out that when he says his grace on the sly/incognito tip, he is acting ashamed of his relationship with his heavenly and ever-so more important Father: a Father who loves and does INFINITELY more for him than what I ever could (and I make it known to this little boy how much I LOVE him as much as I can!). In doing so, I told him he also misses an opportunity to explain to someone what he's doing (and offer to pray over their food) or encourage another closeted Christian kid to say his/her grace.
Even though I have embarrassed Josiah, he says he has never felt ashamed of me, though (yet). Again, I told him, if he's not ashamed of his earthly father who has embarrassed him, how much more should he NOT be ashamed of His Heavenly Father Who can NEVER do anything to make Josiah be ashamed of Him?
He said he understood. We'll see…

Fighting and Wounds
Unfortunately, not all Roborovski's like to have company. Normally, if you see them mock fighting or 'playing' then this is no cause for concern; but when one gets severely bitten or scratched, please take this seriously. They may fight over food or their wheel. The first sign of fighting is when you start to notice bald patches or bleeding of the scabs on one of the Roborovski's backside's. At first, you may think this was just an accidental fall or scratch as you probably didn't see the actual fighting occur. Don't be fooled! The reason you didn't see the actual fighting is because the fighting goes on (mostly) during the night.
When you first see this scabbing or baldness, please take notice of this and don't leave it to heal itself, as it may catch an infection, but mostly because once the Robo has been bitten, the other one will nearly always pick on it again.
It isn't all that simple to notice when two Roboroski's turn against each other. The first sign is the one listed above, but the next are what determines the cause of the fighting. If you notice one Robo walking around with constantly packed cheek pouches, this might mean that he is not being allowed to eat his food in peace or is not getting access to it at all and you will notice the hamster getting weaker.
Another reason the fighting might occur is when the Robo that has attacked the other one is running around the cage or aquarium in laps around the edges all the time gets so annoyed/pestered that it lets its rage out on its sibling. The reason it was doing this is because of the layout of their aquarium or cage - it probably feels claustrophobic.
Further Information
In November 2008, one of my Robo's, Tic, was seriously injured by Tac, her cagemate. I immediately took some photos which you can see above, and separated the two hamsters. The following day I took Tic to the veterinarian, who prescribed her antibiotics and injected her. I was also given some advice which I haven't heard on the web before -
To treat the wound and help the Robo heal, give the Roborovski a salt bath daily (you can soak a cotton pad with the solution and dab it on the hamster's wound(s), and replacethe current bedding with newspaper. The vet also prescribed Tic some antibiotics to add to her water supply (in my case, 2ml to every 200ml of water, though this may differ according to the antibiotics). This reduced the swelling of the wounded limb, and kept it from getting infected.
For the next week, Tic was very reluctant to ever let her wounded foot touch the ground - always lifting her leg up in a very uncomfortable position.
After about a week and a half, Tic's injury had healed nicely and she was starting to put some weight on her injured foot - I tried re-introducing her to Tac (Tic in a wire box, lowered into a plastic container so that Tic and Tac could sniff, but not harm one another). The results were not good. They suddenly got very vicious through the wires and I had to stop the fighting using a spatula coated with their honey flavoured yoghurt drops. I haven't tried re-introducing them since.
A Year and A Half On...
Here's a video of Tic, nearly a year and a half after the fighting. When it was taken, she had just gone two years old. Her injuries are still visible and they still affected her leg, but she struggles on regardless.

The website 'Gawker' put together a list of the 10 best and worst songs of the past decade and it looks pretty crappy.
Women rule on Amazon.com. The online retailer has just has tabulated its all-time sales figures, and female pop stars dominate the lists of the music that has sold the most copies in Amazon.com's history.

Carly Rae Jepsen is a master of cuteness, and her 'This Kiss' video is no exception.

Marlon Tapales earned the mandatory challenger spot to the WBO bantamweight title with a second-round technical knockout of Shohei Omori.
Because of a very slow past week, we look forward to an intriguing 118-pound fight between No. 1 Shinsuke Yamanaka and No. 3 Anselmo Moreno.
Last Friday, Pungluang Sor Singyu regained the WBO bantamweight title and is already preparing for his next challenge.

In Lem Satterfield's latest notebook, we get the full rundown on what to expect this Saturday in a stacked card supporting the junior middleweight main event between Saul Alvarez and Erislandy Lara.
Thai bantamweight Pungluang Sor Singyu will be looking to reclaim the WBO title he lost last year when he faces Tomoki Kameda on the Showtime Extreme portion of the Canelo Alvarez-Erislandy Lara undercard this Saturday.
Tomoki Kameda's next defense of his WBO bantamweight title will take place, interestingly enough, on his 23rd birthday in support of Saul Alvarez vs. Erislandy Lara on July 12.
Tomoki Kameda will defend his WBO bantamweight title against Pungluang Sor Singyu on the Showtime-televised portion of the July 12 Canelo Alvarez-Erislandy Lara undercard.
In Lem's Satterfield's latest notebook, we get the details on who has been helping prepare Saul Alvarez for his July 12 showdown with Erislandy Lara and how personal this fight is for 'Canelo.'
Bantamweights AJ Banal and Pungluang Sor Singyu both have doubt-inspiring marks on their records, and both will be looking to erase those doubts when they fight for the vacant WBO title on Oct. 20.

Carhartt Coats: Men's C61 BLK Black Sherpa Lined Sandstone Ridge Coat
4 out of 4 people found this product review helpful.
Stylish and pretty warm jacket...
By: jjangoo
This is one of my go-to jackets. Not really the warmest of jackets but it is very flexible. You can wear it with layers if you're running into very cold weather, or wear it by itself otherwise. Good protection from the wind and decent at keeping me dry. The quality is great and very durable. Nice heavy zippers that I like and I can tell they won't break on me any time soon. Very recommended.

Love it so much, I bought this one is to replace one four years old!...
By: Alex Otero
This is a very good coat, have been wearing Carhartt jackets and coats for nearly forty years, and I believe this is one of Carhartt's best. I'll be using the new coat as my casual just about everywhere coat, while using the older one for a work coat. Longer length keeps me warmed on those sub-freezing days that the heaver coats that are shorter. I love Carhartt products, I can count on the quality and durability, so when people ask me about my coat I say "C61 Carhartt", enough said!

Very comfortable coat and looks great also....
By: Tweed
After much consideration, I decided to spring for a new this winter and found this coat which I quickly ordered. The coat arrived in a few days and was well packaged. As soon as I tried on the coat, I knew it was a winner. The Sherpa lining was plush and very warm. The knit cuffs inside the sleeves prevented the wind from finding an entrance and the pockets were large. The heavy duty zipper proves this coat will be around for a long time. .

I was at both Queer Fest and the Pride Parade. No way in hell was there 30,000 people at Queerfest. More like maybe 3,000 at the parade and fest. And likewise, no way was there 200,000 at Pride. The turnout for the Pride Parade was for sure several times that for Queer Fest, but 200,000 is stretching. Maybe 10,000 at Seattle Center, and 30,000 tops at the Parade. The exaggeration is amazing.
"Meanwhile in Baghdad: Insurgents manage to blow up heavily secured hotel, killing 12. Dozens more die in additional attacks across the Iraqi capitol." WOW! And over 2,000,000 Iraqis have fled the country. How did this happen, you ask? Well, you see back in 2002 Bush and Cheney started lying to the country about all these reasons to make war on Iraq. Columnists like Dan Savage enthusiastically cheered on the Bushies and urged America to support the war. Of course none of these columnists would have to fight in the war.So troday hundreds of billions of dollars have been pissed away, tens of thousands of people have been killed, more than that are maimed for life, and America is hated around the world. When you read about the war, don't forget good old Dan's role in bringing this about. He makes a witty quip every now and then about that role, but he really doesn't give a shit.
You know, I consider myself to be quite educated, but for the life of me I can't figure out the logic used to determine the parade attendance... this year and last year's... it all seems a little bit high.
I like to think and hope the parade was a sucess (it is such an asset for the city) and if the numbers could be explained... well I would retract my call of *ahem* bullshit... but 100k and now 200K?
With the city there are ~580k in population... so ~35% of the city went downtown yesterday? cool. If you say so, but I don't buy it. Seems inflated by a factor of 10, given first hand experience, unless they are counting includes passive attendees (folks who would have been downtown anyways, such as the run-of-the-mill tourists, shoppers, and condo dwellers, ferry traffic, etc.).
I agree on the parade attendance. That number is WAY too high. Yeah there were a lot of people but 200,000??? I think not.
The way the estimate parade attendance is by statistical sampling of various points along the parade route. If they happen to pick an area with a really high concentration of people (Say Westlake Center) and only use that sample then you would have an overly stated number. This is probably what they did and like they say "take statistics with a grain of salt". I think that around 100,000 is more accurate a number. But then I did not do any statistical sampling so without facts of any sort I am just pulling the 100,000 out of my ass.
Re: the Fosse.
Now I'm gonna walk like that all day.
@ 3: Dude, lots of people bought into the bullshit. I wasn't one of them, but two of my heros were (Dan & Howard Stern). Both have long since realized they were wrong, and have publicly acknowledged they were wrong. Sure, it sucks to look back and see all the cheerleaders ranting & raving about "imminent threats," but give 'em a break. One was a newspaper editor & the other The King of All Media. Neither had votes.
If you wanna be pissed at someone, be pissed at the dumbshits in Congress that voted to authorize this mess. They are the ones who shoulda known better.
The only sad thing about Pride this weekend was that it was so cold. I saw the hotties taking their shirts off for photos and then immediately putting them back on. What a fucking bummer.
Thanks for the rad Fosse to brighten our Monday : )
Didn't make y'alls Pride Parade this year but down in DC it takes about 200,000 to fill the whole Mall.
Drag queens count double.
Who won The Stranger prize for best float?
My kids' favorite was the Bears in the Bath. When it went by, my 2 year old son exclaimed "Those daddies are having a bubble bath!" He currently refers to all men as "daddies", but it was still funny to hear him say that.
Mike in MO--where's this public acknowledgment you're talking about? What, exactly, was it an acknowledgment of? Because if this exists, I'd really like to see it.
Bear in mind, Dan more than just supported the war--he basically told everyone who opposed it to shut the fuck up. And we're at, what now, 3500+ dead soldiers?
More than 800 of them have lost an arm, a leg, fingers or toes. More than 100 are blind. Dozens need tubes and machines to keep them alive. Hundreds are disfigured by burns, and thousands have brain injuries and mangled minds.
These are America's war wounded, a toll that has received less attention than the 3,500 troops killed in Iraq. Depending on how you count them, they number between 35,000 and 53,000.
Over 3500 dead and in one hospital: More than 800 of them have lost an arm, a leg, fingers or toes. More than 100 are blind. Dozens need tubes and machines to keep them alive. Hundreds are disfigured by burns, and thousands have brain injuries and mangled minds.
These are America's war wounded, a toll that has received less attention than the 3,500 troops killed in Iraq. Depending on how you count them, they number between 35,000 and 53,000.
Boomer: Fortunately, I have better things to do than to comb Slog archives for proof that Dan has since relized how wrong he was. Just because I won't provide links doesn't mean these don't exist...
On a lighter note, myspace v. facebook! I call for a death match. Let the greasers and the soc's battle it out until we finally are able to determine which has the right to do the internet mating dance!
No, Facebook would win. Just ask my Seminar Junkies group.
Boomer in NYC and various haters,
Mike in MO is correct: Dan has answered these challenges to his initial support of the Iraq War many, many times. Please use the search engine of your choice to verify. You might try searching under DAMF (Department of All My Fault), Iraq War, etc.
At any rate, he has the maturity, decency and courage to admit he was wrong, unlike 99% of the wars foaming at the mouth supporters and professional reality denialists. Save your bile for the dead-enders in DC who still support the war and are hopefully in their final throes.
#7 Mike in MO. Savage and Stern are your heroes. What about Paris and Britney? Are you a misogynist? Actually the brave liberal hawk Dan Savage has never admitted he was wrong about supporting the war. He HAS complained that Bush screwed it up.
Your heroes, Mike in MO, are guys who simply like to take positions contrary to what people would likely expect them to take. And hey if some people have to die and be tortured and maimed-that's show business!
A selective sampling and an extrapolation of the sample to cover the geographic region the parade was conducted over would seem to be a likely statistical tool. But that doesnt factor out the folks who were downtown for reasons non-Pride Parade related. Its not accurate to say that folks on 5th ave or 3rd ave (or however far the statistical borders extended), who were downtown for reasons non-Pride Parade related actually were in attendance. Unless of course, it is ethical for parades to simply say that such and such number (due to people simply being on the street for the fact that it is a Sunday afternoon in Downtown Seattle in June and not there for the Pride event) is what the attendance number is. Anyone who happens to go, well, those are just "numbers on top". I don't think there would be an unethical use of statistic gathering, but then I am also not so sure the math would hold up to the certainty of other evidence.
But it sure is nice to think that attendance doubled from last year why at this rate, in two more parade cycles more people will attend Pride then actually live in the city!! Hoo Rah for The Message Of The Cause!!
This parade, according to the statistic, had significantly more people then either Safeco or Qwest Fields combined can hold. Safeco holds ~50k ppl and Qwest Field holds about ~70k ppl. Those fields are rarely at capacity, for arguments sake. For the sake of the argument, each field will only get half full for any given event. So, on the mostly average, mild days of game event attendance, that is ~25k-~35k ppl coming into the city that would normally not be coming into the city. THE TRAFFIC those folks cause show-up in other, non-event statistics... such as the traffic report and traffic travel times. Oh hell, even these folks http://www.seattlecenter.com/images/media/pdf/
SeattleCenterEconomicImpactAssessment.pdf estimate bumbershoot attendance being 200k ppl in 2006. And those attendees were spread out over several days the impact on the City streets Bumbershoot causes is well documented. Prides impact? I havent heard one thing. Ahh, Prides impact on City services is not so very well documented, to say the least.
Even if all, well not all, but let's conservatively say 75% of all Pride attendees walked, biked, rode the ferry, or took a bus (thereby negating their activity from statically impacting traffic) that still leaves 25k ppl, out of 200k ppl, that drove or carpooled into the city. Those 25k ppl going to Pride on a Sunday did not impact Seattle traffic? Did not send folks up to Queen Anne or Capital Hill looking for parking? Circle several blocks for hours hoping for a metered spot? Yet, 25k ppl going to a baseball or football game on a Sunday do?
If I have things backwards, then 175k ppl driving to Pride did not impact traffic? Or impact it enough that in this age of statistics, the impact was not statistical important or relevant enough for a report?
I'm still not convinced that the 200k attendee number is accurate, since the anecdotal evidence and collective first hand experiences makes the number too large to fit logically. That same number used for Bumbershoot makes sense, but not for this event.

I just read Carl Bussjaeger's sequel to Net Assets, called Bargaining Position, and it is also a very fun book.
It is a sequel of sorts- set in the future from the perspective of Net Assets, but has none of the same characters. In this book, people have moved into space and are living and working there.
I really enjoyed the (to me) realistic descriptions of life in the space habitats and of the liberty the people had. There are still bad guys, but no melodramatic villains- just the sorts of bad guys you might experience in everyday life, but in a decidedly not everyday circumstance.
Go over and download the PDF (or some of his others) and send him $5 or so in exchange for a few hours of enjoyment. Value for value. It's like prostitution, but cheaper, and you won't catch anything this way.
And, thanks, Carl. I wish your writing had made you rich so you'd keep writing more.
Rightful Liberty, without exception.

Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.
The Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Barclays Center could be part of a new Business Improvement District within the year, the New York Post reported. The Atlantic Yards Report posted a copy of the press release, along with a thorough analysis of the pros and cons of BIDS. If approved, this would be the 68th BID in New York City, which already leads U.S. cities in number of BIDs.
- Locals will get the chance to see a new mural at the Barclays Center's Emblem Health entrance tonight at 5 p.m. Brooklyn-based painter José Parlá, whose work also appears in the lobby of the BAM Fisher Theater, will unveil the first installment of a series of art projects celebrating our borough, a 70-foot-long painting called "Diary of Brooklyn." The blue-and-white piece will be visible at the Dean Street entrance, between Flatbush and 6th Avenues.
- On the opposite end of the neighborhood, the Brooklyn Navy Yard's Gallery 92 is currently highlighting stories of women who worked there during World War II. The 20-plus oral histories, collectively titled "Reflections on Rosie," are part of a showcase that higlights three women-owned businesses currently in the yard, including an eco-friendly fashion company called Eko-Lab and some seriously funky furniture made by Aswoon.
- Celebrity chef Guy Fieri visited The Smoke Joint for a Monday night episode of his Food Network show, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." Admirers of the joint's short ribs, which we imagine are many, can now try recreating the recipe in their own kitchens.

text: I just wrote a concept for a blog and my website will be completely integrated into WordPress. I also plan to do the facebook thing and found wpbook. But I planned my website and blog without the overview page with excerpts. That means that I can only push the whole article to facebook instead of excerpts. Now I am worried about the duplicate content problem. If google discovers the duplicate content on facebook my website will be set back to unknown. Does anyone have a solution?

Diarrhetic shellfish poisoning
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) is one of the four recognized symptom types of shellfish poisoning, the others being paralytic shellfish poisoning, neurotoxic shellfish poisoning and amnesic shellfish poisoning.
As the name suggests, this syndrome manifests itself as diarrhea, although nausea, vomiting and cramps are all common, too.
DSP and its symptoms usually set in within about half an hour of ingesting infected shellfish, and last for about one day. A recent case in France, though, with 20 people consuming oysters manifested itself after 36 hours. The causative poison is okadaic acid, which inhibits intestinal cellular de-phosphorylation.[1] This causes the cells to become very permeable to water and causes profuse diarrhea with a risk of dehydration. As no life-threatening symptoms generally emerge from this, no fatalities from DSP have ever been recorded.

Large piles of material dot Santa Anita's backside parking lot, as work continues on the overhaul of the track's synthetic surface. Repairs to the drainage system are expected to be finished soon, with the next step being the placement of the base grit layer, according to Ian Pearse, founder and president of Pro-Ride Racing Australia.
Pearse and Pro-Ride project manager Andrew McLachlan are on site overseeing the work, which is designed to be a more long-term solution to the problems that have plagued Santa Anita's original Cushion Track synthetic surface. Earlier this year, Pearse added Pro-Ride material, which enabled Santa Anita to finish its racing season.
"We are reconstituting the surface, adding more binders and a much better fiber," Pearse said Aug. 1.
Santa Anita closed its main track July 11. First, the synthetic material was removed to the parking lot. Then the Cushion Track asphalt base, which track officials claimed didn't drain properly, was completely torn out.
Instead of asphalt, Pearse is using drainage rock below the grit layer, with a membrane placed between the two to keep the rock layer in place.
"We expect to begin with the grit layer possibly by Aug. 7 or early the following week," Pearse said.
Work crews can then begin returning the reconstituted synthetic material to the track, which Pearse said is not a lengthy process.
The Oak Tree Racing Association meeting at Santa Anita begins Sept. 24. The Breeders' Cup World Championships will be run at the track Oct. 24-25 and will be the first Breeders' Cup run on a synthetic surface.
(Editor's note: The operator of Santa Anita, the Los Angeles Turf Club, in late May sued Cushion Track USA and affiliates in California federal court over the installation and maintenance of the track. As of Aug. 1, none of the defendants have filed a formal response in court.)

Hey again guys,
Just wondering, how exactly do trackbacks work?
I know they're good but I just noticed how to feature them on posts now.
So, when I put the URLs in the trackback box on the bottom of the post edit screen, will the URLs I'm linking back to see that I trackbacked or linked back to them?
For example: In one of my articles I put the URL of a an article written on nj.com (NewJersey.com) in the little box that says "send trackbacks" on top of it. So, will the author of the nj.com article see that I linked back to him?
Thanks a lot guys!

Stockton sunny and bright, still that nip in the air from the easterly wind though.
G/G, I hope you did not flood them when you got them home, damping the soil or fibre with tepid water and letting the bulb slowly recover is the way to go says he who rescues Daughters bulbs on a weekly basis.I saw people in the S/Market yesterday buying well over the top plants though some one had watered them, I was thinking I hope you are buying them for next year and not to throw out when the flower drops in a couple of days.We have very good garden centres around us and a couple of first class nurseries just up the lane why buy in supermarkets I ask?
Darren if it were me I would drop them into a nursery bed clearly marked and let them grow some root then in Autumn lift them and plant them in the position you want them to be.If you do not have a nursery bed then deep pots will do and then the same come Autumn.Some may leaf up and even flower but do not expect much for a year.
Fairygirl/Daughter, the one and only reason I use spell check is because it gives me a sense of beaten the b@#@#@# when the box comes up saying "there are no spelling mistakes in your post". The neighbours although detached and out at work this time of day probably hear my yell of "got you you s@~@" as you get older pleasures get simpler. Well that is my excuse!!!
Rant, what is the matter with spell check it appears to be talking Chinese.
Rant, my lodger dog a Corgy pretending to be a Jack Russel got to my evening paper before I did tonight, picking up the resultant mess I told him his ears would be fried for breakfast should it happen again.Knowing he was in trouble he hid, then spowly clambered up on the back of my arm chair and licked my ears, I never could stay mad for long.
Sally that is what this thread should beA message that comes from the heartMakes you want to shout with gleeEach and every time you make a startTo get out all the tools gloves rubber bootsThe job to lovingly devide old plants to take apartGently cultivate from seed watch the new born shootsListen to the sounds that every garden makesWhisper of a cooling breeze Rattling dry seed headThe pleasure of seeing birds on ground freshly rakedAnd joy of sitting with a glass before retiring to bed.
My Grandchildren's venture into Rabbit keeping was the usual three months then neglect, Joan who kept and loved rabbits as a child rescued it although their Dad told them Granddad would be eating it once it was fat enough, true if Joan had not threatened to cut off my working parts, I never knew she was a mechanic. That rabbit had a long and lovely life following Joan like a dog and if we were out in the garden would sit between her feet sunning himself, he knew where he was well of. Various Hamsters Gerbils and other animals came home for school holidays and went back much fitter than they came as did many plants.Being brought up on a farm where my Uncle would never kill any animal that had given good service I was taught to respect and love them but with our own when the time came to restock the larder I had no qualms at all including rabbits.
We may as well let this drop, it was not a competition only a way of expressing a love for gardening in our own words, my rubbish appears to be frightening some off.Why do some threads become battle grounds for people to snap at each other, my way if upset is ignore them, unless that is they are in range of a good thump, my attitude changes face to face, being incognito makes some brave it would seem.Anyway I am out.
Cement does not set well in cold weather could be best to leave a week, it will warm up, here in the frigid North we have had four days of sun, freezing easterly winds though.Terracotta should hold the heat in the bricks and feed it back so worth a try.Good luck send a picture when done.

Hmmmm regular maintenance you say.
Tell the customer to complete the box and put it out of its misery. Then you can sell him a new unit.
Its a bomb.
Wow what a mess.
No thought involved in this process, I would just tell them to say their goodbye's to their condenser and goodbye to their warranty as well.
Just a another case of people that do not know better.
Well it looks well made at least.
Thats my water heater without the rust.
Maybe check for a plugged evaporator.
The company before was thinking who is going to see the mess we make, we are on a roof after all. Lets do as little as possible to get by.
For your furnace low is the appropriate setting for your 2 ton condenser. You may have issues with the second floor not getting enough air flow though.
Time to retire that thing its 7 years older than me.
Ingenuity at its best.
Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.
A clean install, but you need to shoot the engineer.
Looks good to me. It will last as long as you need it to most likely.
Lack of care what a surprise. Maybe it will just peel right off.
That coil looks very well worn.
Maybe a tornado will come and take it away.
Makes me smile to see that.
Its a beautiful old beast I love it.
Installed to fail badly.
The birds can get through that. lol
The Definition of Overkill.
If the unit runs its amazing. It looks like an old GE.
in circles
Quick convenient disposal how nice.
beautiful an orange fountain
This thread sort of got out of hand. Looks like real clean work to me.
Great work on the ductwork, very very special.
Looks like this guy might live in his car.

There is no excuse for that kind of crap.

What a waste even for a Goodman. There is reason for paying a professional homeowners.
I wonder if newer units would last that long with the same hackery I see on the older unit pics?
Is more appropriate.
Maybe its some sort of HVAC stress test.
Goodmans with there self install kit are usually the easiest to get online. There pricing is also the most reasonable that I have seen.
I am not a brand basher. There is nothing wrong with Goodmans or most other brands as long as they are installed professionally. By professionally I mean manual J and D calculations being performed...
