Bringing people together with the longing to bring them in the presence of the Lord for vacation, conferences and training is one thing. This will reach many thousands. It's also good to bring the love of Jesus in the homes of everybody. The times we live in, is full of media. TV, radio and internet are prominently present in the lives of the masses. That means beside all negative effects, it's also a huge opportunity to spread the gospel using media applications. We will launch a media portal combing many of the current possibilities:
- Providing filtered secular content
- Providing Christian and positive TV from a global choice
- Providing a radio package of your choice
- Providing Video on demand with biblical teaching, documentaries, films, worship, etc,
It will start in the Netherlands: www.nederland7.tv ( just Dutch)
Once it is a success in the Netherlands, we'll bring it hopefully further on as a Global Gospel Network. Look here: www.globalgospelnetwork.tv

Hurricane Irene Threatens To Devastate New York [PHOTOS]
New York City has issued it's first mandatory evacuation order. People in low-lying areas of all five of the city's boroughs are being advised to leave the area immediately in anticipation of hurricane Irene.
"The low-lying coastal areas that will be endangered most by storm surge include Coney Island and Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn, Far Rockaway and Broad Channel in Queens, South Beach, Midland Beach, and other low-lying areas on Staten Island, Battery Park City in Manhattan, and some small sections of the Bronx," quotes New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Evacuees will not be required to pay rail or subway fares and motorist do not have to pay tolls.
The New York Metropolitan Transit Authority will shut down its system at noon Saturday. JFK International Airport will be closed to incoming international flights starting at noon Saturday.
All coastal communities are expected to be greatly affected by the storm.
Irene is measured at nearly 600 miles wide with winds of 100 mph.
President Barack Obama warned that Irene could be a "hurricane of historic proportions."
Be Safe America!

Forgotten in the furor over Orange County GOP Central Committee Member Marilyn Davenport's vile, vicious, and blatantly racist depiction of President Obama and his family as chimps is the reason that she did it. The caption underneath the photo read "Now you know why no birth certificate." The timing for the "satire," as Davenport lamely explained in her bogus defense, was no accident. It came within days after real estate mogul, and would be GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, continued to harp on President Obama's alleged illegal alien status.
Before Trump dumped the issue back on the public's plate, it had largely receded back into the netherworld of fringe, kooky issues. But Trump single-handedly changed that. He had the name identification, media allure, and money to make an impact. Trump also had more savvy than GOP party regulars and much of the media gave him credit for it. He quickly realized that he had to have some issue, a hook, that would get the media and GOP party tongues clucking, and type him as a force to be reckoned within the GOP. Talk of the debt, tax reform, deficit reduction, jobs and the economy would not do it. The mainstream GOP party leaders, and the would-be candidates, all with much more political experience and credibility than Trump, had already firmly staked out their turf on these issues. The only surefire issue that could get the requisite media attention and the public's ear was birtherism. It worked.
Trump pounded on the issue initially and the media took the bait. Trump then slyly backed off for a moment and talked about the familiar substantive issues of trade, China, and the economy. But birtherism was never far from his agenda. He quickly came back to it at a recent Tea Party pep rally in Boca Raton, Florida and in an interview the day after the filing deadline for federal taxes, he thundered that he'd publicly disclose his tax information if Obama would produce his "real" birth certificate. It worked again. The media reported it as a real story and ran with it. That touched off shudders among mainstream GOP leaders who publicly scrambled to denounce Trump's talk of birtherism and fast distance themselves from him.
GOP party leaders seemingly have finally woken up to the Frankenstein monster that they created. By either ignoring the birther movement or tacitly egging it on, it could turn the GOP presidential nomination derby into a freak circus. This would wreck any chance that a GOP presidential candidate has to snatch back the White House. Unfortunately for the GOP, the monster that Trump unleashed again is back on the prowl. A legion of websites, bloggers, and the conservative site WorldNetDaily, and the pack of right-wing talk show hosts, including Fox's Sean Hannity, relentlessly pound on the issue. They are read, watched and listened to, and sadly believed, by millions of Americans.
Polls have consistently shown that the belief that Obama is not an American citizen, or at best, that some have doubts about his citizenship, has huge traction among a near majority of Republicans. It also has resonance among the general public where some polls show that a significant number of voters openly wonder about the president's true place of birth. Trump was well aware of the numbers that doubt the president's American citizenship. And he is even more aware that the inflammatory issue is driven by part naked racism, and in part by the GOP's loathing of Obama's economic policies, and moderate political views.
In the days since Trump began riding the birther issue hard, he's gotten GOP leaders to acknowledge that he's a party thorn by either denouncing him as former President George W. Bush chief strategist Karl Rove did, or praise him as Sarah Palin did, or field reports from South Carolina governor Nikki Haley and others that Trump is calling to say he's serious about launching a presidential bid. Trump even got Obama to stoop down and publicly comment on the issue and his birth, something that he had scrupulously avoided.
A recent straw poll showed that Trump's birther crusade has paid off. He now tops the most favored list of potential GOP presidential candidates. The straw poll is, of course, just a popularity poll at this stage of the political game. But it does provide even more evidence that Trump and the birther issue are again a "legitimate" talking point issue and concern for millions.
That's bad news for GOP mainstream leaders, who now say they want the issue, and Trump to go away. That's not going to happen anytime soon. Trump and the birther issue are just too juicy and irresistible issue for much of the media to ignore, and worse still, for millions of Americans. The GOP can thank itself and Trump for that.

Have you ever had one?
I shared with my friend recently that I threw myself a pity party on the way to work one morning. It was a Tuesday morning after the Memorial Day weekend. You know, one of those three day weekends where everyone else seems to be at the lake, on the beach, or out doing something fun, but you spend the entire weekend at home catching up on projects. Well, you got it. That was me, and come Tuesday morning, I was wallowing in the mire of my pity.
I cried out to God it wasn't fair that others got to enjoy the weekend while I stayed at home to mow, clean house, and do laundry. I shook my fist, I shed a few tears, and spoke my heart.
Immediately, I felt better. I turned my woes from pity to thankfulness. I began thanking God for the many gifts He has given me such as: a house that needs to be cleaned, with a yard that needs to be mowed. I have been blessed with so much. I felt silly for being in such despair a few seconds earlier.
After sharing the pity party incident with my friend, she laughed. She told me she used to schedule herself a pity party weekly. She'd choose a day and time, then write it on her calendar. When the appointed time came for her pity party, she would go to a secluded spot – her alone spot. But instead of engaging in the pity party as she anticipated, she often found herself laughing at the absurdity of it. Most of the time, her pity party never occurred.
What I've learned from this experience is whether we laugh our way out of a pity party, or actually have a full blown tantrum, our God is here to listen. He wants to know our hearts. He cares about our troubles. He longs to hear our frustrations. He covets the time we spend casting our woes to His listening ears. God loves us so much.
So the next time you feel like having a pity party, schedule one. Mark it on your calendar and when the time comes, go to your secluded spot. If you find yourself laughing at the sillyness of it, use the time set aside anyway to talk with God. Make this appointed time a coveted time. A time to share your heart with your heavenly Father. He is waiting for you.
"Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." (Psalm 55:22)
Prayer: Dear Lord, when we become anxious, let us remember that You are always ready to listen to our woes. Help us to go to you for peace and relief. In Jesus' precious name we pray, Amen.
SHARE YOUR COMMENTS: Have you ever had a pity party? Did God listen to your woes?

The largest industry trade group in the world is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a coalition of some 3 million leading corporations. This behemoth includes some of the most environmentally awful players like Peabody Coal, ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Massey Energy, along with a number of companies working to lighten their climate footprint like FedEx, General Electric and Johnson & Johnson.
Recently divisions have cropped up in the U.S. Chamber. Three prominent utilities dumped the chamber in the last month, publicly slamming the Chamber's position on climate change. Nike just left its position on the board of directors. Brad Figel, Nike's director of government relations, told Greenwire that "We just weren't clear in how decisions on climate and energy were being made." And yesterday, computer giant Apple announced it was leaving the Chamber over climate policy.
What gives? What could the trade group be doing that has so offended its major members?
For starters, back in August, the Chamber filed a petition opposing the regulation of CO2 emissions by the EPA. This despite the fact that the EPA is acting under orders of the Supreme Court, which found in 2007 that CO2 is indeed a pollutant within the EPA's mandate to regulate.
If that wasn't sufficiently offensive to Chamber members, then the content and messaging surrounding the petition certainly should have been. The Chamber was setting about to equate climate science with evolution and link their denial of climate science with a belief in creationism. This, from the world's largest business lobby.
Chamber VP Bill Kovacs publicly called to subject climate change to "the Scopes monkey trial of the 21st century." Kovacs goes further, believing that federal action on climate change will "virtually destroy the United States."
Of course now that companies are calling them out, Chamber CEO Thomas Donohue has changed the tune, saying that "The U.S. Chamber of Commerce continues to support strong federal legislation and a binding international agreement to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change." Just not on these terms. Even though current climate legislation gives away all the rights to pollute to the industries currently polluting, that's still not enough for the Chamber.
The Chamber's actions as well as its rhetoric are out of step with modern public values. It's time for more companies to distance themselves from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Knight's impact on this state is nothing new--it stretches back to 1971. The effect Knight's acrimonious departure from Bloomington in 2000 had on Indiana University is well-chronicled, but Kansas City Star sports columnist Jason Whitlock claims the impact goes much farther. He even credits Knight for recent Indiana high school basketball attendance declines and the Indiana Pacers' woes.
Whitlock, who played alongside Jeff George on Warren Central High School's football team and later at Ball State University, wrote in his column today:
Basketball has never been the same in my home state since Indiana fired Knight following the 2000 season. The Indiana-Purdue rivalry lost its prestige. High school coaches quit coaching the Knight way, and now prep football is more important in Indiana than basketball. The pro franchise, the Indiana Pacers, has one of the worst reputations in the NBA and has been abandoned by its fan base.
Knight moved to Texas and the entire state of Indiana--at the high school, college and professional level--fell in love with football.
We'll never see another Bobby Knight.
So what do you think? Do Knight's moves still shake Indiana?

Another random phone pic for ya…
Faith in ancient Hebrew.
Simple and to the point.
The client brought it in. I didn't check it, but I have done it before. The interesting thing is I have done it a few ways. Always similar, but with slight variations depending on where the person got it from, if they could read and write it themselves, and in relation to what kind of faith they happened to be talking about.

BSNL Headquarters, Delhi
Most of the private telecom companies provide landline and internet connection at a very fast pace and normally activate internet connection within 48 hours in urban areas. Whereas BSNL asks the time of 15 days to activate an internet connection (based on a landline). How can it compete with private telecom companies and how can dream of Modi Ji will be fulfilled with this sluggishness?
An incident happened with me today, at Sanganeri gate office, Jaipur. My wife has tried to apply for the internet connection and faced so many red tapism and large numbers of documentation. The concerning person told that he can not accept the application today as the system was not working (After completing all formalities!). Moreover, they told that it would take 15 days to activate the connection, seven days for the landline and another seven days for internet connection.
If this is the situation in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan - what can be happening in rural areas? We have to pay serious attention to mobilizing BSNL and make the company agile. It is shameful that large numbers of people say about corruption in BSNL.
I messaged through the internet and also called today Mr. Ravishankar Prasad, the telecom minister of India, to report the incident. It was a pleasing experience that he acknowledged that he got my message and would work on it. Thanks to Mr. Ravishankar Prasad in anticipation.

Tuscon, Ariz. – Border Patrol agents assigned to the Tucson Sector, a component of U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Joint Field Command-Arizona, seized 4,979 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $2.4 million during multiple weekend seizures.
Ajo Station agents responding to a group of suspected narcotics smugglers, spotted Saturday with mobile surveillance equipment, seized 557 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $278,500. The narcotics were transported to the Ajo Station for further processing.
Sunday morning, Ajo Station's Horse Patrol unit responded to possible smuggling activity four miles north of the border and discovered almost 530 pounds of marijuana hidden in the brush. The narcotics, valued at $264,500, were transported to the station for processing.
Casa Grande agents encountered an abandoned 4x4 vehicle west of Federal Route 15 Sunday night containing 49 bundles of marijuana weighing 1,143 pounds and worth $571,500. Agents searched the area and apprehended a Mexican national near the vehicle. The subject, vehicle and marijuana were transported to the Casa Grande Station for processing. The subject is facing federal charges.
Early Monday, Ajo agents, assisted by an Office of Air & Marine helicopter, discovered an abandoned 2003 Chevrolet pick-up loaded with 113 bundles of marijuana weighing approximately 2,750 pounds and worth an estimated $1.3 million. The vehicle and marijuana were processed for seizure.
CBP welcomes assistance from the community. Citizens can report suspicious activity to the Border Patrol by calling (877) 872-7435 toll free. All calls will be answered and remain anonymous.
CBP announced the JFC-AZ in February 2011 as an organizational realignment that brings together the Tucson and Yuma Border Patrol Sectors and Air Branches, as well as the Tucson Office of Field Operations, under a unified command structure. JFC-AZ integrates CBP's border security, commercial enforcement and trade facilitation missions to more effectively meet the unique challenges faced in Arizona.

Helen Steiner Rice.....Emily Dickenson
(from The Old Road To Paradise)
~Margaret Widemer~
Grief that some year must bring,
What if it hurt your joyous youth,
Crippled your laughter's wing?
You always knew it was coming,
Coming to all, to you,
They always said there was suffering__
Now it is done, come through!
Only your heart can pity
Now, where it laughed and passed,
Now you can bend and comfort men,
One with them all at last,
You shall have back your laughter,
You shall have back you song,
Only the world is your brother now,
Only your soul is strong.
The Rainy Day
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall
Some days must be dark and dreary.
There are no words ...what can I say?
At last her sweet soul winged its way
To peace and freedom in the sky
Where never again will she suffer or cry.
It's all part of God's great plan ...
Which remains a mystery to man.
We cannot understand His ways
Nor can we count our earthly days.
But who are we to question and doubt?
God knoweth well what He's about;
He knew she longed to "go to sleep"
Where only angels, a vigil keep.
The pain of living grew too great
No longer could she stay and wait;
She did not want to leave you, dear,
But she had finished her work down here.
So she closed her eyes and when she awoke,
These are the words the Master spoke ...
"Welcome, dear child, you are Home at last,
And now the burden of living is past."
"There's work for you in My Kingdom, dear
And you are needed and wanted here."
So weep not, she has just gone on ahead,
Don't think of her as being dead.
She's out of sight for a little while,
And you'll miss her touch and her little smile,
But you know she is safe in the home above
Where there is nothing but Peace and Love.
And, surely, you would not deny her peace ...
And you're glad that she has found release.
Think of her there as a soul that is free,
And Home at last, where she wanted to be.
Know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure.
Behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me so you must have faith.
I can't wait for the time when we can soar together again.
Both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to the fullest and when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart...
I will be there."
~ Emily Dickenson ~
Reluctant to die for we do not know
Just what "dark death" is all about
And so we view it with fear and doubt
Not certain of what is around the bend
We look on death as the final end
To all that made us a mortal being
And yet there lies just beyond our seeing
A beautiful life so full and complete
That should we leave with hurrying feet
To walk with God by sacred streams
Amid beauty and peace beyond our dreams-
For all who believe in the Risen Lord
Have been assured of this reward
And death for them is just "graduation"
To a higher realm of wide elevation-
For life on earth is a transient affair,
Just a few brief years in which to prepare
For a life that is free from pain and tears
Where time is not counted by hours or years-
For death is only the method God chose
To colonize heaven with the souls of those
Who by their apprenticeship on earth
Proved worthy to dwell in the land of new birth-
So death is not sad... it's time for elation,
A joyous transition...,the soul's emigration
Into a place where the soul's SAFE and FREE
To live with God through ETERNITY!
~Helen Steiner Rice ~

UGRR Sites » Site of the International Suspension Bridge
The Suspension Bridge across the Niagara Gorge served as a point of crossing for many fugitives into Canada. Built in 1848 as a carriage and footbridge, the Suspension Bridge was rebuilt in two levels to incorporate rail traffic in 1855. This bridge became a magnet for freedom seekers, a crossing point that funneled hundreds and perhaps thousands of people from slavery to freedom. After 1855, people took the railroad—principally the New York Central Railroad from New York City, Albany, Syracuse, and Rochester or the Canandaigua Railroad from Elmira--directly across the Suspension Bridge. Harriet Tubman was the most famous person to travel from slavery to freedom at the Suspension Bridge. Her crossings included one with Joe Bailey, who escaped from slavery with Tubman and three others in November 1856.

In my new app, I really wanted to provide the ability for users to crop an image that would be used for a background. I figured I'd have to create a custom control and maybe use the Nokia Imaging SDK and frankly, that sounded like a lot of work so I left this functionality out of my app thinking I'd go back and add it on the next release.
Maybe this is widely know, but it was news to me. To crop an image in the photo chooser on Windows Phone, all you have to do is set the pixel width and height that you want to allow and the crop tool pops up automatically. How cool is that? So easy. But, I searched quite a bit trying to find a solution and couldn't. Then, I came across a StackOverflow post where someone explained it.
Here's what the code looks like for the chooser (I'm actually grabbing the device screen size for my width and height).
private void uxPickPhoto_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { _photoChooserTask = new PhotoChooserTask(); _photoChooserTask.PixelWidth = Convert.ToInt32(_screenSize.Width); _photoChooserTask.PixelHeight = Convert.ToInt32(_screenSize.Height) ; _photoChooserTask.Completed += _photoChooserTask_Completed; _photoChooserTask.Show(); }
That's it. Once you add the pixel width and height, you get this nice crop tool, allowing users to select where the image should be cropped. I love when things like this are built into the native API.
Now the first release of my app will have image cropping.

Yep. Romaji allows japanese to be written using about 18 ascii characters. For hiragana / katakana (two of the three writing systems that are used in combination to write "real" japanese) Lynx does this too. But for most japanese speakers romaji is not very natural - a bit like, for example, including all the vowels in arabic text.

I know less about hebrew than I do about arabic, so if someone can shed more light, please do). (There are probably other examples. I think Bislama works in ASCII, and maybe PNG pidgin.

Avengers Writer Makes 4 Horsemen 'Heroes' in EAST OF WEST
There's a reckoning coming. When it comes, the best question to ask yourself might be "what side are you on?" – and in the forthcoming new series East of West you might find the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the President of the United States on surprising sides of the ultimate conflict.
Created by writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Nick Dragotta with Frank Martin doing colors, East of West sees the former Fantastic Four collaborators reuniting to follow a decidedly different quartet with the Four Horsemen. Described as a dystopian western by Image, this series sees Four Horsemen rise up as unlikely heroes after the most powerful men and women in the world band together to bring about the end of the Earth.The beginning of the end starts on March 27th when East of West first issue hits, and Image is releasing a special poster for retailers (seen to the right) at the end of this month. For more, we talked with Hickman and Dragotta about this apocalyptic series that the writer describes as both "hopeful" and "bleak."
Newsarama: What can you tell us about East of West, Jonathan?
Jonathan Hickman: It's a book with big touchstones that resonate, a shared mythology that everyone can immediately click into, and a visual aesthetic that somehow manages to be both commercial and a bit off center at the same time. So, interesting.
East of West is also a book of big themes and big characters, something that's always nice.
But in its simplest, most distilled form, it's a love story that takes place at the end of the world.
Nrama: From what I've read, East Of West is about living in what we feel are the end times – with the series literally putting us on the doorstep of the Apocalypse. Have you been thinking a lot about the End Times?
Hickman: I think a lot about how we all hate each other. That seems close enough.Nrama: It does seem that way sometimes if you watch the news.
Nick, designing the look and feel of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse sounds like a big challenge. How'd you tackle developing what these four would look and act like?
Dragotta: It's not really been that much of challenge. For better or worse what they represent pretty much defines them visually and how they act. War, Famine, Conquest, and Death is who they are. They act on their natures and that defines them; that informed the designs. When you see the book you'll know exactly who is who, I hope.
Nrama: Why are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse out to kill the President --- and doesn't that make them the bad guys?
Hickman: I dunno. Haven't we outgrown the idea that the office of the President is inhabited by good people? These are deeply flawed men who don't trust the citizens they are supposed to represent and seem prone to manipulation instead of honesty, and frequently murder people in other countries. Pick a party, pick a President, they all have bloody mouths.
Dudes need lithium or something.
Anyway, yes, the Horsemen are mostly the bad guys.Nrama: Image describes East of West as having a sci-fi western vibe. How would you describe the tone of the book?
Hickman: Visually that's correct. Tonally, I guess I'd say that it's hopeful masquerading as bleak: Violent but beautiful.
Dragotta: For me the sci-fi western vibe is apt. It has that Hickman bent, where he plays with history, creates new mythologies and then just sees where it goes. It feels very much like an alternate American future. What if the Civil War never ended what would be the repercussions of that as we move forward? Add to the mix all the shit that is swimming in my head from comics, film, books, television, past, present, and future, that's East of West. We're in it now, it's dark, bleak, and yet full of life.
Hickman: Lots of tiny moments interrupted by sudden bursts of big action.Dragotta: I'm proud to say Frank Martin Jr. Is coloring our book. If you're familiar with Frank's work you know he brings an added level storytelling to the art. I'm really excited to be working with him. He's brought a bunch of great new ideas to this world in how it looks and feels. And we're just getting started. This book really is a product of all three of us.
Nrama: Correct me if I'm wrong, but you two met while working on Fantastic Four together at Marvel. How soon did the conversation turn to you two collaborating on your own creator-owned project?
Dragotta: After I did Vengeance with Joe Casey at Marvel, it was Joe who really put the bug in my ear to try Image. Just his nature of "do it your own way" was infectious.So I was game to make the jump, the stars aligned with Jonathan on our Fantastic Four run. I think we both felt we were making solid comics, and the readers seemed to really like what we were doing. I think I started working with Jonathan maybe 2 years ago. I can't remember who mentioned creator-owned first but I know it was right after we did Fantastic Four #588. We clicked creatively and people were responding to what we were doing.
Hickman: I think we both knew we had something the first time we worked together and that feeling only increased the more and more we did. The first time was the silent issue of Fantastic Four, by the Spider-man / Human Torch roommate issue hit I was sold on Nick, and then by my final issue of Fantastic Four I was pretty much in love.
We were both at the ImageExpo last year and had lunch. Talked business, talked comics, decided to do something, and that was it.
Comics!Nrama: Nick, from your work on Fantastic Four one of your best traits is your ability to develop the subtle things of a story and really give them a resonance. With such big concepts as the Four Horsemen, the President and the end of the world, how do you keep track of the small things and keep them important?
Dragotta: Thanks, I'm always looking for those moments in any and all stories. What you describe above is really just storytelling and making sure you hit those emotional beats visually to correspond with the dialogue. I think it goes back to gesture and trying to get the reader to identify with a drawing. Got to inject a soul into those cartoons.
With East of West Jonathan has written a bunch of great moments, I'll do my best to hit 'em. You right the big concepts are another challenge all together. There's a lot of concept design in this book, which is something I haven't really done much of. That's been the most challenging and fun part of the book.
I'm really just pulling from everything, seeing where it goes. There's gonna be a point when the deadlines catch us and I won't be able to think it all out anymore. That's when the good stuff happens. We'll get to the point where East of West just becomes instinctual, then we'll be cooking with gas.

Now, I don't know if I'll ever be a mom, but I am getting a lot of practice being the best aunt (blood related and otherwise). :)
Yesterday, I had a lovely lunch with my friend Diana who, even with an almost four month old in tow provided a very gourmet lunch of seafood terrine and cold cucumber soup. Where does she find the time? I think she might secretly have a clone.... I provided a loaf of french bread made earlier that day. We also had delicious homemade crunchy almond cookies whipped up by my friend, baker and artist, Nicole. Didn't get a picture because we ate them too fast but they were scrumptious!
Today was another day of pampering those whom I adore and it started with providing much needed banana chocolate chip muffins to my very cute, pregnant friend Mandy who, in addition to becoming a good comrade, is also my personal chef guru. We had a great chat and delicious tea and muffins and discussed, what else? BABIES! She is a glowing 5+ months along and I even got to see little boy Unruh kick (or punch) a few times in my visit...no doubt a reaction to the muffins: "more, mommy, more!"
After that visit I headed over to my sister and brother in law's to try out a new recipe that I got from Vegetarian Times. Don't get excited meat lovers, I am not going veg, but I did subscribe to get some more ideas for my non meat dinners and also for future vegetarian/vegan clients.
I decided to make Poblano White Chili and corn bread. Both came out really great!
Poblano White Chili
from Oct 2010 Vegetarian Times magazine
3 c cooked white beans or 2 15 oz cans white beans, rinsed and drained
1 recipe Rajas (see below)
2 c low sodium vegetable broth
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
1 c fresh or frozen corn kernels
1/2 c chopped cilantro plus more for garnish
1 T lime juice
1/4 c low fat milk
3 oz goat cheese
1/4 roasted pumpkin seeds
Roast and peel six poblano or Anaheim peppers, slice into 1/4 in strips and set aside. Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, sliced thin and two cloves of garlic, minced and cook 6-9 minutes or until onion is soft and golden brown. Add 1 tsp dried oregano and poblano strips and cook 3 or 4 minutes more or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
1. Bring beans, Rajas, broth, oregano and cumin to a simmer in saucepan over medium heat. Cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in corn, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper if desired, Cook 2 minutes more.
2. Warm milk in a separate saucepan. Add goat cheese and stir until smooth. Serve chili with goat cheese sauce, pumpkin seeds and cilantro.
For the most part I followed this recipe pretty closely. To save time you could prepare the Rajas and refrigerate ahead of time. You can also roast the pumpkin seeds earlier. I used sliced almonds since that was something I already had in the house and I knew the flavor and crunch would work well. When using store bought Vegetable broth (or chicken, or beef) do look at the nutritional information. These products are notorious for having a LOT of sodium. I picked a brand that had 330 mg per one cup servings... some of the ones I picked up, including popular brands had almost 1000 mg of sodium! That's way too much.
This dish was great and the corn bread had a sweet/hot taste that really tasted great with the chili. The chili could easily be made into a meat-based dish by adding sauteed sausage, ground chicken or turkey.
What is your favorite way to pamper a loved one? Comfort foods? Chocolate? Feel free to share here!
Chow for now! :)

The Seychelles are situated in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of East Africa. There are 115 islands, with only a few being inhabited. They are popular with sun and beach loving travellers, and no visa requirements make them very accessible for all.
The following is some useful Seychelles travel advice to help you plan your memorable, fun filled and relaxing vacation on the islands.
Getting to and Around the Seychelles
The main gateway to the Seychelles is via Seychelles International Airport. It is the country's only international airport. It is near to the capital of Victoria. Several domestic flights operate between different islands and there are also boat services. Driving is a popular way to get out and about, and there is decent public transport, by way of buses, on the main tourist visited islands.
Language in the Seychelles
The main language used in the Seychelles is Seychellois Creole, but English and French are both also widely spoken.
Accommodation in the Seychelles
There are very few accommodation options, with some islands only having one single hotel. Apartments and bungalows can be a good option for those looking to save money on sleeping. It is mandatory that visitors have accommodation arranged before arriving in the country; without proof of accommodation it is likely that one will be made to book somewhere to stay before leaving the airport.
Beaches on the Seychelles
A major draw of the islands is the many stunning beaches. Most are fairly quiet and unspoilt, with a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The sandy shores are ideal for soaking up the sun and admiring the views. Some beaches are suitable for swimming, although there are also those that are not; visitors must make sure that they pay attention to any warning signs. The coastline between Anse Major and Beau Vallon is particularly stunning.
Water sports are incredibly popular, with surfing, sailing, yachting, and motor boating some of the activities that await you. The Aldabra Atoll is a huge and spectacular coral atoll; it is, in fact, the largest coral atoll in the whole world. Snorkeling and scuba diving provide many opportunities to see the abundance of marine life that lives in the waters surrounding the islands. Glass bottom boat trips are another great way to see the many creatures that inhabit the ocean. Fishing enthusiasts will not be disappointed.
Land Activities in the Seychelles
As well as the many water sports on offer, you can enjoy some excellent active leisure with your feet firmly on dry land. The picturesque scenery makes hiking a true delight. Horse riding is another perfect way to enjoy the beautiful vistas. Tennis, badminton, golf, and cycling can also be enjoyed with ease. With a plethora of different bird species, those who enjoy bird watching will be happy. Cousin Island and Mahe are two of the best places to see a rich variety of our feathered friends. The Vallee de Mai National Park is home to a rich selection of flora and fauna. There are museums, galleries, plantation houses, shops, and monuments scattered across the islands. Victoria, Mahe, and Bel Ombre offer a relatively lively night life.
Food and Drink in the Seychelles
A mixture of cultures has created a delicious and varied culinary scene. Seafood, curries, Creole dishes, and coconuts form the main basis of meals in the Seychelles. The local beer is Seybrew.
This Seychelles travel advice will hopefully help you to make the most of your time on the islands.

Off the 4 days of the real tour the LA 1 Day tour is useless...Its a waste of time as its more like a Getty Center tour only,the full day LA tour with Hollywood sign is a must for someone who visits LA, if its gonna cost more , let the tourist know and be given a choice.Not force only one with ~1-2 hr stops at four places and call it a city tour.(had I known it was a 4 stop thing I wouldnt have taken this particular tour). For the Rest of the tour , the 3 day Santa Barbara,SFO,Yosemite no complaints....it was well managed for the time available(Have to visit Yosemite with more time, 2 hrs there is too less.)

We enjoyed this tour, the hotels were every good. Stay in Harward Jornson which has Target, Walmark, Cosco in walking distance. I will come back again.

Excellent Tour package! nice hotel accomodation (Marriot and HoJo) and great Bus (Merc Benz). Would like to recommend the tour to my friends.
Posted by: Veronica on 2013-01-03
The tour covered many landmarks. The ride in the bus was too tiring (sometimes more than 10 hours a day). It would be less uncomfortable if there are more stops when the ride is so long.

we enjoyed this tour, they received us at the airport and also drop us after the tour. Hotels to stay were very good, guide Larry was very helpful and took good care of tourists no surprises or extra charges bus is in a fairly good conditions. I would say considering the money i saved and places we saw this tour is very good.

Disappointed to get Guesthouse instead of Hilton, but upgraded and got Crown Plaza. Clean hotel, but nothing within walking distance. Luckily hotel offers shuttle services. Tour guide to Disneyland was not very good, spoke very poor English, which I guess is ok, since we are in Disneyland. Day 3 - LA to SF. Good thing we good another tour guide. The tour was in English/Mandarin (tour guide also spoke Cantonese). TOur guide was very good, even at full capacity, he was patient and organized which made things run very smooth. Nice drive to SF. Hotel in SF was Courtyard Marriott. Hotel is very spacious and close to many amenities. I am giving a 4/5 because for the price we paid, our expectations were not high. This tour is not bad, just be prepared that most of the passengers are Chinese.

The itinerary changed when the trip started. The first day trip to Universal studio is conducted by different guide and the bus is late for 1 hr on way back, which is sad but ok for me since we're at Universal studio. Stay in Howard Johnson which has Target in walking distance. The hotel changed to Sheraton San Jose, which we got a suite! There was a great mix of tourists from India, China, Korea, Europe. The guide's English is average. So do take note.

As we try to come to terms with the hot mess my country put us all in on November 8th, I would like to help people remember that good always prevail in the end. Continue to treat people with respect and you have to love yourself and love others. When times are very dark and we enter into the unknown, that is when the good people really shine. Meanwhile, let's do all that we can to rise above the insanity and try to correct the situation. Don't cry and stay mad, now it's really time to correct mistakes and look forward into the future.
I'm glad that Michael Fassbender is such a great actor because now more than ever, we'll need to use his art to escape from the madness of the world around us and dream and hope for a better future.

Easy Work From Home Ideas - Quickstarts For Everyone
Worthy efforts in offering great energy towards the completion of a challenging task and finding success through tenacity and intelligence and ultimately reaping that sense of accomplishment as well as the additional skills, abilities and experience that were acquired while overcoming difficult obstacles be damned. Today is all about easy. And what kind of benefits can one derive from easy? Let's just put it this way; it'll be nothing to brag to your psychiatrist about, but your accountant will be jealous. That's right forget about all that fluff science, psycho babble that tries to talk one into the value of feelings of accomplishment, acquired knowledge, self awareness and the like. In today's world the only true value has dollar sign in front of it (Aaah�well maybe a Euro sign would suit you better, but you get the point). So, initially you need to get that notion through your thick skull that says you want do something where you feel proud to tell others what you do. So, first stop that. Then start focusing on easy�and financially rewarding.

A dizzyingly clever novel from Langer (My Father's Bonus March, 2009, etc.) that explores the thin line between fact and fiction, and between memoir and novel.
Narrator Ian Minot, a frustrated writer, is angry that a hack named Blade Markham is being celebrated for a memoir about growing up on the mean streets of New York City, a memoir Ian is convinced Markham made up, his street cred being limited to copping an attitude and inserting "yo" at the end of every sentence. Soon Ian links up with Jed Roth, a fellow writer who's penned The Thief of Manhattan, a novel about stealing a valuable copy of The Tale of Genji, burning down the library that housed it and murdering a couple of book fanatics. Jed persuades Ian to rewrite the novel, alter a few incidents and submit it to publisher Geoff Olden as a memoir. The plan is to have it become a bestseller and then publicly humiliate Olden (who'd published Markham's book) when it's revealed to be a fake. Ian's life is complicated by his attachment to his girlfriend, Anya Petrescu, whose memoir about growing up in Romania, We Never Talked About Ceausescu, is creating buzz. Eventually Anya drops Ian and hooks up with Markham. Meanwhile, Ian scores a deal with Olden, famous for reading only the first and last pages of a manuscript. Ian's "memoir" is published under the title The Thieves of Manhattan...but it turns out that Roth's original manuscript is in fact based more on truth than on fiction and that Roth may have been manipulating Ian the entire time.
Lots of fun.

This, totally!!! Phantom in a nutshell!!!

This, totally!!! Phantom in a nutshell!!!
13 Tuesday Mar 2018
Posted Artin
So I meant to post this for Valentine's Day, but didn't quite get my shit together in time LOL! But I thought I'd go ahead and post it anyway. It's something I've thought about writing for a while, but only recently did the idiom for it really come together. That was part of the reason I didn't get it up in time for Valentine's. But then, just this past week, I was listening to Eve Ensler's absolutely amazing memoir In The Body Of The World, which I cannot recommend highly enough that people read by whatever modality! (PSA, it's available in audiobook, performed by the author. Yay!) And although the subject-matter's different, hearing her way of writing – part poem, part dramatic monologue – really made something fall into place for me. And I could finally hear how to write this piece!
(Note, the section that begins and ends with quotation-marks at the bottom is not my own writing, but rather the words to one of my favourite Unitarian-Universalist hymns that I learned back when I belonged to a UU congregation. I was praying about the desires and concerns expressed in this poem/monologue after finishing writing it, and that hymn popped into my head, feeling like an answer if a strange one. So it felt important to include it here!)

Gove praises Ofsted head but 'roles need refreshing'
Michael Gove has said outgoing head of Ofsted Baroness Morgan had done a "fantastic" job and denied she was being removed because she was Labour.
The education secretary told the BBC the government believed "from time to time you need to refresh the person in charge... to bring fresh perspective".
Baroness Morgan has claimed to be the victim of a "determined effort from Number 10" to appoint more Tories.
Mr Gove said the decision was entirely his and nothing to do with No 10.
He told the Andrew Marr Show: "I think she's done a really good job. I think that she and the chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw are a fantastic team.
"But one of the things I feel - and across government - is that from time to time you need to refresh the person who is in charge of an organisation."
He said that Baroness Morgan had come to the end of her three-year term as Ofsted chairwoman and it was good corporate practice not to automatically reappoint people - a different person could come in with a "new perspective" and make sure there were "tough questions asked".
Labour candidate
Mr Gove pointed out that he had appointed Baroness Morgan in the first place, knowing she was Labour, adding: "It's also the case that we've recently appointed a former Labour special advisor Simon Stevens to head the NHS. Now when we come to appoint the new head of Ofsted I will appoint, and we will appoint, on merit."
Mr Gove declined to rule out Conservative Party donor Theodore Agnew as a replacement for Baroness Morgan.
He said the appointment would be made on merit and that it would be "quite wrong" to rule out a suitable candidate simply because he was a Conservative.
"I want to make sure that we have the widest range of candidates and I don't think anyone should be ruled out on the basis of their political allegiance.
"If someone is a distinguished former Labour minister and they want to put their hat in the ring, then I would look favourably on that. If there's a distinguished Liberal Democrat educationalist, great. If there's someone who's a Conservative, why should they be ruled out just because they are a Conservative? I think that would be quite wrong."
The Lib Dems have reacted angrily at the decision not to reappoint Baroness Morgan, with new deputy leader, Sir Malcolm Bruce, telling BBC 5live's Pienaar's politics: "They are trying to politicise something that should be kept out of politics.
"It's also a bit odd to my mind that Michael Gove should make this change without consulting or taking into account the views of his schools minister David Laws who after all works very closely with Ofsted.
"I think there's an issue here, a concern that Sally Morgan is going to be replaced with someone who is quite explicitly and ideologically a Tory to deliver inappropriate politics in what is after all an operational body of inspection."
Education Minister David Laws, a coalition loyalist, was said on Saturday to be "furious" saying the decision had "everything to do with Michael Gove's desire to get his own people on board".
'Feminist McCluskey'
The outgoing chairwoman, who was appointed by the coalition in 2010 as chair of the education inspectorate for England, told BBC News on Saturday her removal was part of a pattern which had seen a series of non-Conservative supporters on bodies like the Arts Council and the Charity Commission replaced with loyal Tories.
"I really do think it's just I am the latest of a fairly long list of people now who are non-Conservative supporters who are not being reappointed," she said.
"Often they are people who have been working really well with their organisations and, indeed, with their host departments, so I do think this is coming from Number 10.
"I don't think it is coming from individual departments."
Baroness Morgan's predecessor as Ofsted chairwoman, Zenna Atkins, told the BBC News Channel she did not think her successor had done anything to annoy the Conservatives, so believed it was probably just a desire for a fresh view at the top.
She added that the recruitment rocess for her was "robust" and "fair" and involved head hunters, a series of interviews, including with the permanent secretary at the education department before the final two candidates were interviewed by the secretary of state.
Deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman told the Andrew Marr Show she was concerned that many of those losing their posts were "senior authoritative women, all being replaced by men".
"It's like it is raining men in the Conservative Party."
Mr Gove responded by pointing out that he had not only appointed Baroness Morgan in the first place, but had also appointed women to other senior positions.
He then hit back by reminding Ms Harman that the Conservatives had had a woman prime minister, and said the Labour Party were dominated by trade unions, such as Unite which he joked was "led by feminist hero Len McCluskey" and Paul Kenny from the GMB "who's been getting in touch with his softer side over the weekend".

Trial of £380k raid on Omega and De Beers stores in August.
Two suspected robbers are due to appear in court accused of stealing £380,000 of jewellery and watches from De Beers and Omega at The Royal Exchange in London this August.
Shane McGloin and David Kelly from Islington in London are accused of smashing into the upmarket stores with sledgehammers and boltcutters. They are thought to be part of a larger hooded-and-masked gang that was caught on CCTV forcing their way inside the shops.
Three other men remain on bail while investigations into the incident continue. The robbery took place on August 14.
The Royal Exchange in London is a Grade 1-listed building that was erected in 1565 and is home to a luxury shopping and dining arcade. There are more than 30 retailers at the site including Boodles, Bucheron, Cartier, Tateossian and Theo Fennell.

a note from our pastor
We made it, we are almost there.. the season of the year when we take a moment to express our gratitude to God and be thankful for all that he has done for us. Whether you had a great or not so great year, you can't deny God's faithfulness in your life and I am sure that whatever God has allowed you to go through this year will only make you stronger. When we place our trust in Jesus, we can't fail; Jesus gave His life so that we could be forgiven and redeemed!
And if we talk about giving, what a great opportunity we have to be more like Jesus when it comes to giving. This year we will be blessing a school in our community and also reaching out to a small community in Juarez Mexico. You will hear more about this on Sunday. But what I wanted you to know is that you can be part of this amazing opportunity and bless others.
On Sunday, you will be given an envelope as you come in, and at the end we all will be encouraged to give towards our outreach activities this year. If each family gives at least $30 (besides tithes and offering) we will be able to meet our need to bless others this year. I am grateful beyond words for how generous The Gathering has always been, and I know this year will not be the exception. Together we can accomplish far more than alone, so let's make a difference in those around us and share the love of Jesus by giving a little of what God has given us. I hope to see you this Sunday at The Gathering.
with a lot of love,
Pastor Jorge
P.S. If you want to give online towards our outreach activities, just choose "outreach" as the designation when giving online. You can give online HERE.
A two week series on the importance on being thankful.
Don't let the worries of life get your mind off of God. Instead, look to your heavenly father for provision, trusting in his providence; be thankful for what he has already done.
Series begins this Sunday November 13th.
One Body. One Purpose. One Prayer. For our nation, our city, our brother.
Join us for a time of prayer with other churches in our community. This meeting is hosted by Fuel the Fire Ministries and it is held at different locations every two months.
Next gathering is this Sunday November 13th at 6pm at First Presbyterian Church here in Midland (800 West Texas Avenue, Midland, TX).
Every year for the last four years, The Gathering Church has catered and served a Thanksgiving lunch for the students and teachers at Richard Milburn High School (located in the Kingsway Mall, down from our church).
This year, we are doing it again, and we need your help!
Lunch will be served at the school from 11:45am - 12:45pm.
We will need volunteers to setup tables and chairs at 11am, as well as volunteers to serve the food.
If you are able to volunteer, please contact Robert Fowler at (432) 770-4012.
Thank you for your help in serving students in our community this Thanksgiving season!
For more upcoming events including our Holiday's services' schedule, please check our "events" tab in our church app.

text: DigitalDaily Bruin Reflects on 50-0 Loss to USCBy Marcus Vanderberg|November 28, 2011 ShareBy Marcus Vanderberg|November 28, 2011 Share For USC fans, Saturday night at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was the perfect ending to the 2011 season as the Trojans defeated their crosstown rivals 50-0.For UCLA fans, they were left wishing their season was over, but the Pac-12 South "champs" will travel to Oregon for an opportunity to play in the 2012 Rose Bowl.Daily Bruin columnist Ryan Eshoff reflected on his thoughts, which sums up how a majority of Westwood must be feeling Monday:It was one of those games where the details don't even end up mattering all that much. Sure, USC quarterback Matt Barkley put up gaudy numbers. Even Kevin Prince had, statistically, one of his more productive passing games. Usually, there's some silver lining to be found in the numbers. Here, though, only one thing matters.50-0 just has some mathematical elegance to it, some perverse poetry. It's not 46-3, or 58-17. Those games are blowouts, but 50-0 is an iconic scoreline, even more so than the 59-0 drubbing that BYU laid on UCLA in 2008. It's difficult to explain.What isn't difficult to explain is the fact that it's ridiculous that we're comparing a 50-0 defeat to a 59-0 defeat. The most demoralizing question of the Rick Neuheisel era used to be: "How can a program like UCLA get humiliated that badly by a Mountain West team?" Now, that question is: "How can a program like UCLA get humiliated that badly in a rivalry game?"Eshoff also wrote that while Neuheisel is in charge, "this can no longer be considered a rivalry."Well, the rivalry is back on, as Neuheisel was fired Monday after four seasons and a 21-28 record.Ben Howland, you're next.
