NBA Finals: LeBron James gives preview of Game 5 speech
There are two words the Heat have been uttering over and over again since getting slammed in Game 4 of the NBA Finals and falling behind 3-1: "Why not?"
That is the theme of what LeBron James plans to tell his teammates before they take the court Sunday for Game 5.
"Why not us?" he said today. "History is broken all the time. And obviously we know we're against the greatest of odds. No team has ever come back from a 3 1 deficit in the Finals, but there was a point where no team came back from a 2 0. There was a point where no team came back from a 3 0. There was a point where no team came back from a 3 1 deficit in the Western Conference Finals, and then Phoenix did it. One of our teammates was on that team, James Jones.
"There was a point where no team came back from a 3 1 or 3 0 deficit in the ALCS, and then the Red Sox did it against the Yankees. So history is made to be broken, and why not me be a part of it? That would be great. That would be a great story line, right?"
Here are a few other quotes from James' media session in San Antonio this evening:
On the prospect of losing the series: "For me, it's like you either don't make the playoffs or you win a championship. There's no in between. I don't want no first round victory, no second round victory, no Eastern Conference finals. I would rather get my two months off or win the Finals. I don't want no in between."
On whether he has thought about his potential free agency this summer: "I live too much in the moment. I can't worry about what goes on after this series is over with. Win, lose or draw, I live now and worry about the future once it's upon me."
On his ankle injury: "I think that was Game 2 in the third quarter and I turned it at that point or in the fourth quarter, and it's kind of been 'ahh' for the rest of the series. I don't want to say a sprain. I turned it. It's a little sore, but it hasn't limited me much. As the night goes on, it gets a little worse and worse, but I'm OK."
On how he handles losing big games now compared to early in his career: "Two championships helps that. It helps it, for sure. But understanding what means a lot to me. Understanding what's important and understanding what's not important allows me to kind of just live in the moment and not focus on what's happened in the past. I can't control the past. I can't redo it. I can live in the present, try to affect the future and live with the results while I'm in it."

Building Egress Lighting: Preparing Your Building for an Evacuation
Evacuation safety is a state of building safety that has several components. Often, buildings have some of these components, such as egress lights and luminescent exit signs, but not others. For the utmost evacuation safety, buildings should have the following lighting components implemented in their egress system.
Backup lighting
Mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Building egress lighting helps building occupants do the obvious: see their way to a building exit. But it has its flaws, particularly: breakable parts, poor performance in the presence of smoke, and reliance on generator power, which could fail.
Choosing battery-powered lighting can eliminate the third weakness, although for buildings that have hundreds of units, maintaining batteries can be time consuming. Whether a building contains battery or generator powered lighting, maintaining it according to the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Life Safety Code is the best way to ensure continued performance.
Photoluminescent egress markings
When backup lighting fails, as it did during the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, luminous egress markings keep egress paths traversable by illuminating their dimensions and equipment. According to a study by the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, evacuees feel that evacuation time decreases when egress paths contain strong visual cues, and that it increases when strong cues are absent. Luminescent egress markings provide strong visual cues during low visibility.
With no breakable parts and excellent visibility in the presence of smoke, luminous egress markings are without the weaknesses of backup lighting. The best references for applying them are the International Fire Code (IFC) and the NFPA's Life Safety Code.
Photoluminescent emergency egress signs
Self luminous emergency signs are a critical aspect of evacuation safety. Although technically not egress lighting, they serve the same purpose: to help evacuees reach building exits during low visibility. Five safety signs that are critical to evacuation safety are: "Not an Exit" signs, running man signs, directional arrow signs, floor identification signs, and assisted rescue area signs. The best references for mounting the signs are the IFC and the NFPA's Life Safety Code.
Photoluminescent exit signs
Photouminescent exit signs have two safety advantages over electric exit signs: no breakable parts, and better visibility in the presence of smoke. They also have a long lifespan of 25+ years, and are an excellent way to eliminate the electricity and maintenance expense of electric signage.
Glo Brite has the products you need
At Glo Brite, we offer photoluminescent egress markings, emergency signs, and exit signs that contain our patented Glo Brite technology, which offers superior visibility at 100 feet, and a burn time of up to 96 hours in total darkness.
If your building has traditional building egress lighting, but not luminescent egress products, don't wait for the failure of backup lighting (which could happen for several reasons) to produce serious injuries or fatalities that lead to lawsuits. Call us today to learn more about the benefits of or products, or browse through our signage and egress markings that meet OSHA, NFPA, and IFC regulations.

^ man, now I'm hungery! But I've got brownies!!!!! lqtm
"No time outs. Only DEATH!"
"I don't like to brag and I won't cuz I don't have to!"
This morning I asked....
my son if he wanted a cupcake,
he growled "No"
I asked if he was mad at me for making the cake,
"Yeeeeeeeeees" he replied "Because of the zits?" I queried
"Yes" again he emphatically affirmed
So ,e's mad at me now that I made the cake and he got zits, but I have
a few now myself, but man that cake was good! To me it was worth it,
even if I have zits for a week or so.
It's even better when you have Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Icing and
a BIG tall glass of ice cold milk, MMMMMMMMMMMMMmm good!
So now we probably won't have Chocolate Cake for a few months
until we are willing to sacrafice the skin for the delicacy again.
I like his hair in Eternal Sunshine. He should get it cut like that. I still live him, and I don't care what he looks like.
When once asked what I would do if I met Jim I said that I would give him so many hugs because he is so damn HOT and then I would tell him to get married. Response, "he is hot, but...nevermind."
His bangs could use a trim...
it would make his hair a little more managable.
Iwonder if he's keeping it long for his next movie or just cause he likes it long, are there any picks of him with curly hair????
Or maybe there is another reason for it being long.
Only he or his hairdresser knows for sure.
He can always put it in a pony-tail...
I wonder if it's long enough to braid yet???
Re: He can always put it in a pony-tail...
omg everyone!!! what do you reckon.... Jim.... with.... dreadlocks????? lol! wow he might look a bit funky there, ill send him a specially designed tie-dyed t-shirt, with a surf board. he can bring back the hippy generation
Hey, that'd be cool
We could have a Jim Carrey Hippy Ho-down, mmm maybe Hi-Down,
no, A Hippy Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho-Down and invite the several dwarfs, how does
that sound?

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
And then about a third of the way in I finally figured out that I'd downloaded The Cloud Atlas - completely different book. Oops. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I'd been wanting to read and I had to go out and get the right book. I still haven't finished The Cloud Atlas, but I just finished the book I originally intended to read, and it left me feeling like I needed to process it a bit more, which can be a good or a bad thing.
After a night's sleep, I'm ready to give my personal assessment.
First a quick overview. Cloud Atlas is structured as six embedded novellas, with each story half-told until you reach the sixth story at the center, after which you proceed back through the other five stories and reach the conclusion of the first story at the very end: 1 2 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 2 1. The stories proceed forward (and then backward) through time, from a 19th century ship traveling the Pacific, to a postapocalyptic Hawaii some hundreds of years in the future, and each is written in a very different voice, and even style. On the surface the stories are mostly unconnected, except that each is also embedded literally in the other. For example, the first story is written as a journal, which is found and read by the main character of the second story. The fourth story becomes a movie seen by the main character of the fifth story.
I actually quite enjoyed the book. At first it felt a bit like a "should read." I found the writing a bit difficult, and it was hard for me to really invest in the first couple stories (and when you know that these are the stories the book will end with, it makes it hard to stay motivated to continue to the end). But the further I got, the more I enjoyed the book, and the more invested I became. And while I enjoyed some of the stories more than others, by the time I finished the sixth and began proceeding backwards, I actually found myself looking forward to the reading the second half of even the stories I hadn't cared for. I felt as though each story colored the stories that came before, and I returned to each story with a different eye than my first time around.
And I was impressed with the writing. Sometimes I have trouble with very intelligently and cleverly written books because they feel pretentious or unreal to me, but as difficult as I sometimes found the prose in Cloud Atlas, I didn't get mired down in pretentiousness. Mitchell brilliantly captures six very different voices written in six very different genres. It's clearly all coming from the same pen, but each story is nevertheless impressively distinct.
My main complaint about the book is that I think leads a reader to believe it is doing more than it actually is. When I finished the book, I felt like I needed to go digest it, look for the connecting threads that I had missed, to figure out what it all meant. I'd just been taken for a ride, and I'd thoroughly enjoyed the ride, but I felt like there was more than just a ride (albeit an intelligent and fascinating and thought-provoking ride). The problem is, I'm not sure there is more, or at least much more, than what I got on the first pass. Either that, or the meaning is so abstruse or deeply buried as to be invisible, or not worth the work it would take to uncover it.
In short, this is no beach read, but it's also not a slog (although it might feel that way at first). It's definitely not for everyone, but as long as you don't hold out for a grand, startling connection between the stories, and instead just let yourself be swept along, I think it's worth reading.

Severe drought and crop failure are normally not connected to Ghana as a matter of course, but rather as an exception. In living memory, the year 1983 stands out, when the results of drought and crop failure early in the year were exacerbated by the influx of over 1.5 million Ghanaians flowing into the country from Nigeria, which had expelled them (Editorial Staff, '1983 A Year Ghana Would Prefer to Forget', African Globe 22 Jan 2013).
Historically, information about famine in Ghana is sparse, although sources reporting on them are available, as it turned out, when I scanned the archives of the Netherlands Possessions on the Coast of Guinea. This collection is in the National Archives in The Hague, but was recently also made available as high definition scans in an online repository (Archief Nederlandse Bezittingen ter Kuste van Guinea).
The particular record series I studied were the letters of the Dutch director-general (governor) at Elmina to his superiors in the Netherlands, reporting on important affairs. In his letter of 15 July 1749, director-general Jan van Voorst wrote about the dire state of the Dutch possessions, highlighting the lack of personnel and provisions, and the poor condition of trade with the hinterland. As usual in this period, he referred to warfare and the blockade of trade routes as an important reason. However, near the end of his letter, almost as an afterthought, Van Voorst pointed at another serious reason for the poor state of affairs:
'[...] Also, in the last six months [i.e. since January 1749], such a sad and serious famine visited the whole Coast (caused by an extraordinary drought in the past year, which made the cereal crops fail), that many natives died daily from hunger. Had I not had some victuals in store during that time, and having had the opportunity to buy some for the maintenance of the garrison, truly, [Your Honourable Gentlemen], the fate of the white people would have been miserable, because the natives would not sell provisions for gold, and thus the transportation of victuals [to the Gold Coast from the Netherlands] is highly necessary.'
In summary: 1748 had seen a serious drought on the Gold Coast, in which the crops had failed; cereals are mentioned, but most likely vegetables and other food-crops were affected too, not to mention livestock. In the following dry season of 1748-1749, this led to severe shortages in food supply, and eventually to a famine that affected large parts of the population, including those (the Europeans mainly) that could secure access to imported foodstuffs. 'Many' - dozens, maybe hundreds of - people died on a daily basis. And we have to keep in mind here that the figures are those Van Voorst registered from his immediate surroundings, so one can hazard to guess what the situation in the hinterland of the coastal settlements was like.
Thus, a social economic disaster visited the Gold Coast in that year, most likely with immediate geo-political consequences, as well as a fall out of several years to come.
It is just a note in a letter, easily missed. However, a source of importance for our knowledge of the social-economic and political history of Ghana, and – in terms of methodology – a pointer to a source that may yield more information on the subject.
Addition (15 March 2016):
Further scrutiny of the Elmina journals brought to light an entry by director-general Van Voorst on 11 September 1748, in which he warns the captain of the Dutch West India Company slave trading ship De Maria Galeij, that he has to take into account that he cannot get any fresh drinking water at Elmina, 'because of the excessive drought, [which continues] since some time.' This confirms that the rainy season of 1748 was extremely dry. All ships are sent to the port of Shama, on the estuary of the River Prah, to take in fresh water.

(FutureHD) (Newser) – Charles Barkley lived up to his reputation for telling it like it is when Arizona police pulled him over on suspicion of DUI early yesterday, E! reports. Asked why he had run a stop sign at 1:26am, he said he was in a hurry to pick up the woman in the passenger seat, and, pointing her out, asked the cop to confirm that she was "hot." "He asked me, 'You want the truth?'," reads the police report obtained by the Smoking Gun. "When I told him I did he said, 'I was gonna drive around the corner and get a blow job.'" Barkley said she'd given him one a week before, and it was the best he'd ever had. Later, the former NBA star joked with a civilian police employee, saying "I'll tattoo your name on my ass" if it would get the DUI charge dropped. (Read more crime stories.)

While exploring the desert, you see a plume of smoke rising in the distance. You change direction and approach the soot-cloud carefully. It takes a few moments, but after cresting your fourth dune, you locate the source. You lie low, so as not to be seen, and crawl closer for a better look.
A library is burning up, sending flames dozens of feet into the air. It doesn't look like any of the books will survive, and most of the structure has already been consumed by the hungry flames. The source of the inferno is curled up next to it. It's a naga! She's tall for a naga, at least seven feet if she stands at her full height. Her purplish-blue skin looks quite exotic, and she wears a flower in her hair. The naga is holding a stick with a potato on the end, trying to roast the spud on the library-fire. It doesn't seem to be going well, and the potato quickly lights up from the intense heat.
The snake-woman tosses the burnt potato away and cries, "Hora hora." She suddenly turns and looks directly at you. Her gaze is piercing and intent, but she vanishes before you can react. The only reminder she was ever there is a burning potato in the sand. Your curiosity overcomes your caution, and you approach the fiery inferno. There isn't even a trail in the sand, and the library is going to be an unsalvageable wreck in short order. Perhaps the only item worth considering is the stick with the burning potato. It's quite oddly shaped, and when you reach down to touch it you can feel a resonant tingle. Perhaps it was some kind of wizard's staff?
There is no room for a wizard's staff in your inventory. You may replace the contents of a pouch with a wizard's staff or abandon it.
Found this while exploring a Desert in an RPG.

I've been bad about updating, but I think most of the people who read this are also on my Facebook so you're not missing anything. :-p
Wes now will point to his belly when you ask him where it is. He's still into, and climbing on, everything! We got some bad weather this week so we stuck close to home, but we did go to Rhyme Time on Monday and had lunch out yesterday in the Target Cafe- ha. Today we went to Chipotle with our B1G1 coupon from Facebook (yay) and Wes actually ate a little bit. He had apple juice for the first time- 1/2 water 1/2 juice- in his sippy. He wasn't really into it, he much prefers his unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
In other news, we've taken him off whole milk due to some nasty diapers that follow its consumption. The nurse at our pediatrician's office said to take him off all dairy and see what happens, but if we did that he'd pretty much eat nothing since cheese is a dietary staple for him. So, I've just cut back on cheese and yogurt and cut the milk out completely. He's never had issues with me having dairy and has always done fine with yogurt/cheese. I have to call them back in a week to update them on how he's doing. I bought him the almond milk because it has the same amount of calcium and vitamin d as cow's milk. He's still nursing so it's not a big deal if he doesn't drink milk at all, but it's nice for him to get something other than water once a day.

Kah = Cup
He would say it in his carseat sometimes so I was wondering if it was 'car', but then he started pointing at cups/sippies/water bottles. I gave him his sippy yesterday in the car when he said it and he was happy. 🙂
The past 2 days have been beautiful- yesterday was 73, today almost 60- so we jogged to the park, played for about a hour, and jogged back home. He loved being able to run around, but he rather just run then go on the swings/slides/etc. Let's just say mommy gets in her exercise!

My updates have been lacking because Steve bought me an iPod Touch and I'm not on my laptop much the days. Nothing exciting going on and I've been mostly posting pics/videos to my Facebook- I'm sure my friends list loves that. :p.
Only thing worth mentioning is, I think it's official, Wes is nightweaned. He hasn't nursed over night in over a week. I thought we had ruined our progress when we were trying to not rock him back to sleep and he ended up screaming at us, but all is well. Sunday night he didn't wake up at all overnight and shocked us by sleeping through the night again Monday night. I'm really not getting my hopes up, but it's Ben nice to have a couple nights of sleep. Steve said he woke up sunday night wondering where Wes was, I did not.
Other than that, our week has consisted of story time and Target, I'm stocking up on stuff for the fall and winter since clothes are on clearance. I also bought him a size 7 in the tennis shoes he already has since they were on clearance as well- good deals!
edit: I shouldn't have mentioned his sleep- last night he was up from 12-1am. He wasn't a fan of Steve.

When I tell him to get down off of anything- fireplace, stairs, etc- he always says 'dahn/da'. He's definitely been acting like a toddler lately, very head strong and throwing tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants or gets something taken from him. Distraction works 50% of the time, the other 50% he just screams.

Night-weaning from nursing…
Night #1- Wes slept 7pm-3am, then cried about 30min while Steve rocked him, slept on Steve until 5am. Then he and I slept until 7am. :-p
Night #2- Not great at all…Steve luckily had caffeinated pop for work..
Night #3- Slept 7pm-2:30am, Steve rocked him and he slept on Steve for a bit (40min), then in his crib until 6!
Hoping he continues to improve and I'm going to try to take over in the middle of the night so Steve can get some sleep. No plans to wean him during the day, I'd at least like to keep nursing until winter is over. Plus, he's become a horribly picky eater and I feel better knowing he's getting the nutrients he needs from me even when he will only eat: peanut butter, pretty much any carbs, banana, yogurt, cheese. Oh, and he'll eat fries if we offer them- he ate 3 from Chick-fil-a today!

Over the past few months, oil prices have dropped because of lower global demand as consumers have pulled back and production has slowed. Many are stumped as to why recent oil prices have remained the same and what it means for exchange traded funds (ETFs).
The harsh economic conditions had analysts speculating that oil prices would continue to fall as demand waned and use dropped. Now oil prices are still hovering in the neighborhood of $50 per barrel, and oil remains expensive by historical standards, reports Jad Mouwad for The New York Times.
Oil consumption has not risen and the economic conditions around the world have not improved, so what is giving the commodity its strength to remain at relatively high prices? Oil inventories are actually at their highest levels in 19 years, and the demand for oil is sharply dropping to levels seen in the 1980s.
Turns out that oil is actually a favorite of investors right now, as the slumping dollar is not offering refuge and inflation remains a threat on the horizon. OPEC has also been successful at cutting output sharply to match the lower demand. However, supplies are still high.
Consumers may still see a rise in gas prices this summer, peak driving season, but the fact remains that higher fuel prices do not support higher gas prices at the pump.

Chapter 1
"Oh my God, Willa. I hope I don't die looking like this."
The girl was Gorgeous, from the tall arch of her lovely red eyebrows to the hand-painted diamond pattern across her toenails. She is so pretty and pale, with Irish red hair in loose curls. She should have worn red. Maybe a little bit of lip liner. I liked the look of her mascara running black rivulets down her cheeks. It made her look disheveled in a romantic kind of way.
The girl's face was mostly intact. It had a calm expression, as though death was a relief. Blood dabbled her neck in a cosmetically pleasing way. Her collarbones protruded, forming little pockets where blood collected against her neck. But then, as my eyes drifted a little lower, I saw she was wearing a faded t-shirt from some sports team, ruining the effect. The t-shirt was soaked in blood; it seemed to be the only thing holding her torso together. At least she had a good pair of pumps close by. They were high stilettos, polka-dotted with pink over orange; I'd die for those pumps.
She really should have worn red.
I relayed the scene to Willa over my cell phone, watching as the police stood around the girl. They looked disinterested; there was no question as to this one's cause for jumping. Not with the black-rimmed "G" tattoo on the inside of her wrist. The same "G" that was inked on the inside of mine.
"Lackluster," I mourned. "Crazy Gorgeous only got one Leaving and she wasted it."
Willa made a half-hearted sound on the other side of the phone.
"Are you at another Leaving site, Willa?" I asked, my feathers ruffling at her lack of attention. "Who is it?"
"No one we know; she was a retro Gorgeous. Too old school for our girls. All poodle skirts and curlers. A most Gorgeous death though." She outlined the details in a bored tone that suggested she could do better. We'd see; Willa would get her shot soon enough. "I really like this forest green dress with the pink accents; I might be able to swipe that." Willa sounded as though she were walking now, her breath heavily in the phone. "Just got a text, there's 30 year old Gorgeous that just jumped off of the Ridel Bridge. Want to meet me there for coffee and critique?"
"30!?" I was shocked. Gorgeous never lived that long. "I would love to, but I have a meeting downtown with my agent at one." I clicked my tongue, looking down at the crystal watch around my wrist. "Which I'm going to be late for as it is. Tonight?"
"Yeah. Later, Harper." The phone clicked in my ear. I took one last look at the Irish Gorgeous, broken and bleeding in the middle of the alleyway before turning away, heading east toward the subway. Brick buildings rose on either side of the alley, their dark windows like eyes watching over the proceedings.
I had to push my way through the gathered crowd. A few gawkers and reports were there, but most of the people were pretty girls with coffee cups, tiny G tattoos on the insides of their wrists. Most looked shocked, a few disgusted. I pushed past the faces, barely registering any of them. Of all the heavily made-up girls, none were familiar. I got a few stares and sneers my way; I ignored them all, sweeping past all of the others. I tried not to look any of them in the face.
Towards the back of the crowd, there was a young girl, her hand pressed over her mouth. She was pretty in a fresh-faced sort of way that made her stand out, made me stop and look, her makeup-free complexion catching my gaze. I spent most of my twenty-five years on this planet partying with some of the most sought after and beautiful Gorgeous this world had ever seen. But this girl was
I had ever seen
Her skin was achingly clear and pure. Her eyes glittered like sapphires under the sparkling lights of the jewelry counter at Tiffany's. She wore simple, light-colored clothing, denim and cotton. A simple wardrobe that made her face all the more exquisite. Tears shone at the corners of her black lashes, spilling over her rose-kissed cheeks. She was pretty-crying, something few Gorgeous ever mastered. It was best to avoid crying in public all together. Save it for when the doors were closed and the world was locked outside.
It was a bold move. And she was pulling it off like a master.
I couldn't seem to stop staring at her. The pretty thing had her eyes locked on the body of the Irish Gorgeous, crying like she actually missed her. The Gorgeous was better off. I wanted to tell the pretty girl that, but I knew there would be no consoling her. The living could be so selfish.
The girl's eyes flicked to me for a split second, back to the Gorgeous on the ground, then back again to me. It was like her gaze was drawn to me. I flushed. Gravity seemed to lock our gazes together for a moment. Her blue eyes widened, her unpolished fingernails dropping from her mouth, revealing perfect lips. I just knew those would be perfect too. Her mouth was red and shaped like a rose petal, soft and full.
She stared long enough that I started to get weirded out, so I broke eye contact, hurrying toward the subway without looking back.
I really hoped she wouldn't follow me.
It came out even more snappish then I meant it. With my arms crossed and my lips pursed, I knew I looked fierce. I'd practiced this pose in the mirror a million times. I always practiced new facial expressions; best not to look foolish in public.
"It doesn't look good for you." Her agent said, not looking up from the screen in front of him. "They are looking to give the contract to, yah know, Diamond, since she is," he made the air quotes as he spoke, "'more exotic looking.'" Greg was grotesque. I wasn't sure how he ever managed to be successful in an industry focused around beauty. Everything from his oily hair to his 1970s mustache offended me, but I dealt with it. Barely.
I'd vomit later. That would make me feel better.
"Being exotic wasn't a prerequisite," I stated, my lip quivering in anger.
"No. But they thought she, yah know, fit the brand better. Tribal looking and, yah know, mysterious. Exotic. I'm sure they'll contact us next time they need a, yah know, All-American girl or an African Queen." Greg waggled his eyebrows at me and I almost gagged.
His office was a clutter of papers, the stacks upon stacks nearly reaching the ceiling. The window sills were lined with used coffee mugs and cups, some of them still contained liquid. The whole room stank of dust and old java. I could feel my skin drying out as I sat in his cheap pleather chairs trying not to ugly cry all over the stack of newspapers immediately in front of my feet.
"Come on, Greg. If I don't work, you don't get paid either." I said, coaxing, using my best vixen voice. It was was a charming thing, watching the ugly man blush a little, trying to hide under his thick beard and throat clearing.
"I'll find something, but you will have to forget about the, yah know, Apple project. Let me make some calls and I'll get in touch with you tomorrow morning."
"Afternoon?" I asked, hopefully. I didn't like to wake before noon.
He sighed, heavily, his brown glasses slipping down over his nose. "Afternoon then." He stood up and held out his hand. I shook it, feeling the cool sweat of his palm spread over my skin like a disease.
As I stood from his office, I mulled over the dwindling jobs I'd been called back for recently. As the mirrored elevator closed its doors around, enclosing me my own reflection, I studied myself. I had brash, thick eyeliner bruising my eyes, the remnant of the party last night. I still hadn't taken yesterday's makeup off. I looked delightfully disheveled from my cutoff denim skirt to the torn tights and the boyfriend shirt that hung off of one delicate shoulder.
I was beautiful still. Wasn't I?
I stepped closer, my eyes lingering on the slightly darker skin under my eyes. But there were no lines or blemishes. My skin was a silky brown, as it had always been, my pink-tinted curls perfectly messy. I was still a Gorgeous, still earned the right to wear the "G" on my wrist. It would be a few years before my beauty would start to fade. A few years before the call of Leaving would have me jumping off of someone's roof in a killer pair of pumps. Someday soon, that Irish girl in the alleyway would be me. And if my Leaving was perfect enough, they would put me in the papers. The world would remember me as beautiful forever, my image poured over the news and captured in headlines.I threw up in an empty bathroom on the first floor and immediately felt better.

Quick Take: Why Length of Injury Suspensions Are a Bad Idea April 22, 2014Posted by CapitalSpirit in Uncategorized.
add a comment
I was watching the Habs-Bolts tilt on NHL Network tonight, and at the second intermission, the subject of erstwhile Capitals rental Matt Cooke's recent kneeing foul came up.
As far as Cooke goes, throw the book at him. He knows better. Without looking, I'd guess his NHL rap sheet is longer than his bio in Minnesota's media guide. But that's not my main topic here.
The question is whether players who get suspended for injuring other players should sit for as long as the injured player is on the shelf. Let me give you a scenario or two to show you why I don't think that's a smart idea.
Assume the Capitals are up against, I don't know, Philadelphia. Now assume that the game gets chippy. Let's suppose that, in this theoretical chippy Caps-Flyers tilt, Alex Ovechkin goes in hard on the forecheck against a recent call-up. Let's make it Brandon Manning for discussion's sake: he had 31 points and 231 PIMs, and was -24 defensively, in his most recent season with the Phantoms. He's also listed as 2 inches shorter, and 35 pounds lighter, than Ovechkin.
So let's assume Ovechkin goes in to a theoretical forecheck against Manning, and let's assume for discussion that the play goes horribly wrong. Manning suffers a horrible injury and, per the Flyers, won't be back for the rest of the season. Under a length-of-injury suspension, that would be the end of the season for Alex Ovechkin.
But look at it from the other side. If you're Philadelphia, and you know you can end Alex Ovechkin's season by keeping a minor leaguer on the shelf…hmmmmmm, tempting, yes?
Or, switch colors and look at it the other way. Say it's Sidney Crosby inadvertently knocking Connor Carrick into the middle of next month, the regular season is winding down, and the Capitals are locked into a first-round match-up with Pittsburgh.. If you were the Capitals, would you be in a rush to get Carrick back into service, knowing that you could keep your archenemy out of the playoffs while "innocently" insisting that you want to make sure Carrick was 100% before you said he was ready to go?
No, neither the Capitals nor the Flyers would resort to that kind of chicanery. But that's the can of worms you could be opening if the rule for injury-inducing fouls were a length-of-injury suspension.
It's a noble idea at first: after all, who wouldn't want justice for their favorite player/teammate/employee? But the unintended consequences it might set off could adversely affect the integrity of the game on the ice.
By all means, discipline unsafe play; absolutely, throw the book at serial cereal-heads. But discipline needs to be set neutrally by the League, without giving other clubs a backdoor way of keeping other clubs' players out of the game.–CS

Can the Privacy Commissioner investigate my privacy complaint?
This will depend on a number of things such as whether or not:
- the agency or organisation (the respondent) you are complaining about is subject to the Privacy Act
- your complaint involves personal information
- you have complained to the respondent and given it a reasonable time to deal with your complaint.
The Complaint Checker can help you work out whether the Commissioner is likely to investigate your complaint.
What is the Complaint Checker?
The Complaint Checker asks you up to eight simple questions to help you check whether or not the Commissioner may be able to investigate your complaint.
The Complaint Checker can only give you general advice that will apply in most circumstances. You should not rely upon this information as legal advice.
If, after you have used the Complaint Checker, you are still unsure about whether or not the Commissioner can investigate your complaint, or if you would like to discuss the information provided in the Complaint Checker, please call our Enquiries Line.
What does the Complaint Checker cover?
The Complaint Checker applies to complaints about:
- Australian Government agencies
- private sector organisations (businesses and not-for-profits)
in relation to the Australian Privacy Principles or Credit reporting
- ACT public sector agencies in relation to the Territory Privacy Principles.
What is not covered by the Complaint Checker?
You can also make a complaint to the Commissioner about:
- the handling of eHealth records, healthcare identifiers, genetic information and health and medical research and the medicare and pharmaceutical benefits schemes
- the handling of some criminal records (spent convictions)
- the handling of personal information on the Personal Property Securities Register
- data-matching by Australian Government agencies using tax file numbers and the use of tax file numbers more generally.
The Complaint Checker generally does not deal with complaints about these matters. For further information please read the Who is covered page or contact our Enquiries Line.
We have used the following abbreviations in the Complaint Checker:
- Privacy Act — for the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (current as at 12 March 2014)
- Commissioner — for the Privacy Commissioner
- Respondent — for the agency or organisation your complaint is about
It's important to remember:
- Before lodging your complaint with the Commissioner you should first contact to the respondent about your complaint, so that it has an opportunity to resolve your complaint.
- You should allow the respondent a reasonable time to respond to your complaint. Generally the Commissioner considers a month a reasonable time, however more complex matters may take longer to resolve.
- If you receive no response from the respondent or it has not resolved your privacy complaint to your satisfaction, you can then lodge your complaint with the Commissioner.
Start the Complaint Checker.

Last night was a fairly fraught evening with me needing to spend more time than I would have liked dealing with work stuff. By the time I shifted over into gaming mode I was struggling to find the fun in almost anything that I played. Initially I attempted to get into Dishonored Death of the Outsider and managed to make a tiny bit of progress… but in the end just wound up taking screenshots of the weird shit appearing in the game like this… that I can only term as some sort of a monkey baron? For whatever reason this game is struggling to hold my attention in quite the way that Dishonored 1 and 2 did and I am not entirely certain why. It could simply be that I am still not the biggest fan of Karnaca and greatly prefer the vibe of Dunwall.
Whatever the case I made it to about the halfway point of a mission before needing to shut down because my wife needed assistance with something. When I returned to my laptop I did not return to the game and moved on to rummage around for something else to do. Evenings like last night are frustrating because it feels like I squandered the opportunity to have a good time. There are times where my mind is just not in the right place to really enjoy anything so I sorta flail about until eventually giving up for the evening and going to sleep. I wish there was a button that allowed me to purge my mind of worries and just be present in the activity I happen to be doing… and before someone suggests it… meditation doesn't seem to work for me. I just end up sitting quietly thinking about the same nonsense I was thinking about before I actively tried not to think about it.
So what did I do instead of playing something I had not experienced… I started a brand new game of Fallout 4. In theory I need to get Nexus Mod Manager set up on my upstairs machine and get all of the mods I like to use there. This whole remote playing everything is interesting because there were a lot of experiences like Fallout that I managed to make work downstairs… albeit in a way less pretty fashion. I have to say I could really get used to this whole being able to play games in full resolution and fidelity… from the machine that is most comfortable at that very moment. I need to drag my spare laptop to work and see how well this process works over the guest network there because in theory… it should be accessible from any online connection. I could even try tethering my phone and seeing how playable everything is over a 4G LTE connection.
I sorta always create the same basic character in Fallout 4… which is essentially a version of the same character I create in any game. Little details change but the rough outline of the "Belghast" archetype remains the same. Incoming spoiler alert for anyone who might not have played the game. I don't even mess with customizing the spouse anymore, because I know a few minutes into the experience she will be long gone. I so rarely play female characters in games because they don't really fit with the whole unified character thing that I tend to do.
I am not rejecting them because they are female… more that I am rejecting them because they don't fit the character I keep wanting to play over and over in every single game. I do fine in titles that have a strong female character that you assume the reigns of… like Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn or Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider games. However when you give me a game like the Mass Effect series that allows me to craft a tailor made character… I will almost every single time create a "Belghast". I also have a lot of issue with the game if it impedes me from crafting this character… which I experience a lot when playing games without beard options or "pretty boy" features. Basically I am not really a fan of the whole Bishōnen thing. Belghast is a battle damaged character and as a result I prefer whatever form that representation takes looks that way… though I do worry that at times I am essentially creating a Marlboro Man.


text: jsQuizEngine - lightweight javascript quiz engine 14. April 2015 19:36 / Chris Pietschmann / / Comments (0) I've been studying for some Microsoft certification exams lately. The exam I'm studying for right now is the Developing Microsoft Azure Solutions (70-532) exam and this exam doesn't have any practice tests available from anyone. So I've decided to make my own practice test questions for it. However, I've been unable to find any nice, clean, simple test / quiz engines to be able to take the practice questions like a semi-real test. So I decided to build my own using HTML, JavaScript and CSS. The resulting test / quiz engine is my new jsQuizEngine project. It's a simple, clean quiz engine that's easy to use. The file format for the quizzes is even in HTML, so it's even easy to create new quizzes for. Source Code: https://github.com/crpietschmann/jsquizengine Also, here's some screenshots of where it's at so far. Keep in mind this project is really simple at this point, but it does work. e208ba60-51df-4971-b579-3a5b2efd206a|11|4.9|27604f05-86ad-47ef-9e05-950bb762570c Tags :

Despite positive stock markets sentiment and good USA labor market data the dollar failed to grow. Investors were also pleased with the lack of negative reports from China, where the inflation reached the forecasted level. The Fed's meeting minutes released on Wednesday impacted the dollar as well. The regulator's soft tone was interpreted by traders as another retreat from December's plans.
The ECB minutes pointed that the inflation would remain at low levels. Mario Draghi said the ECB was ready to implement additional monetary policy easing at the next meeting on March 10th. We again got the divergent expectations of a policies change of the two central banks. By the end of the trades the pair euro/dollar slightly increased.
The UK published retail sales release for January at the level of 2,3%m/m and 5,2%y/y against the forecasted 0,8%m/m and 3,6%y/y. The positive trend in the labor market allows us to expect retail sales growth compared with the previous month. An increase of wages was recorded in the UK during the period from November to December last year. The pair pound/dollar showed a growth by the end of the trades.
The OECD lowered its growth forecast for Japanese GDP to 0.8% from 1.0% in 2016. The Japanese yen strengthened against the dollar by 5.1% since the beginning of this year. That fact reduced the national products competitiveness in foreign markets. The trade deficit in Japan amounted to 645.9 billion in January, which is 5 times more than in the last quarter of 2015. The pair dollar/yen closed the trades with a decrease.

My final unit for this phase of the project is more cavalry, the Régiment Mestre de Camp Général. Originally raised in 1635 the Regiment fought at the Battle of Blenheim in Grignan's Brigade between Blenheim and Oberglauheim.

My name is Brandy Harris and I live in N. OKC with my spouse Terry and our 4 children, Dryden, Tanner, Dash & Everly. I have been a life-long lover of pregnancy, birth and babies. In my early 20s through my own efforts of starting a family, I began a more deliberate search for diverse choices in the birthing community.
I began doing unofficial Doula work in 2003 for friends, family and acquaintances (before I knew what a Doula was). I quickly became what is now known as a "birth junky."
The act of supporting families through the most intimate experiences of their lives came easy for me, brought me great joy and filled me to the core of my being. I understood the draw I felt in my spirit from such a young age as my purpose; my calling being revealed and it was easy for me to choose to continue to grow in that in spite of my own fertility struggles.
In 2008, I trained to become a Certified Birth Doula through DONA International, became a Certified Breastfeeding Educator and since have supported over 400 families in Oklahoma.
In November of 2009, I experienced the birth of my boys. With the help of our own Birth Doula, Midwife and HypnoBirthing® techniques, I had both a challenging yet rewarding unmedicated, vaginal hospital birth.
In March of 2016, I experienced a very rewarding and healing homebirth of my son and daughter with the help of Midwives, Birth Assistants, Doulas and close friends. I feel that my birth experiences has given me a gift in being able to support families through both the beautiful and the challenging moments that occur during their births.
In September 2011, I became a certified HypnoBirthing® Educator. My goal is to add to the choices in childbirth education options in the community and to help families experience gentle, fear free, family-centered birthing with or without intervention, in a home or hospital environment.
In compliment to my continuing education, January 2014, I began working with Moments Of Bliss Midwifery as a Midwife Assistant and began my formal education with Birth Arts International after being accepted into the Midwife Assistant/Monitrice Program.
In 2015, I was accepted in to the Midwifery program at Midwives College of Utah where I plan to graduate in 2018.

Tuesday evening I met Christina & Greg at the Battlefield in Manassas, VA. I was so excited to finally meet Christina. We'd been corresponding via email for a while and I could tell how excited she was about the shoot! I am so happy we had a perfect night for photos!
Christina and Greg are getting married at a vineyard next August, so they wanted a natural feel to their engagement session. The fields were drenched in golden light when we arrived! I was SO excited (just ask the happy couple)!
I could have stayed in that first location for the entire shoot, but luckily we moved on and took advantage of the architecture and old fences! We had such a great time exploring and getting to know each other. At the end of the evening we were greeted by one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen – EVER. It was amazing! I'm not one for silhouettes, but with a sky like that it's a MUST!
Christina & Greg – thank you so much for letting me capture this special time in your lives. I had a great time and I hope you love the preview of your photos!

Oxo Good Grips Jar OpenerReviewing: Oxo Good Grips Jar Opener | Rating:
We purchased the Good Grips Jar Opener for our family. My wife sometimes has trouble opening jars and I am not always around. We have tried different brands in the past but we never found one that worked all the time until now.
This jar opener is very easy to use. You just slid the opener on the sides of the jar you want open and give it a little twist.
My wife had a very stubborn jar of spaghetti sauce and we decided to see if the jar opener would work on that jar. My wife tried it and it came off very easily.
I like the non skid mat that also comes with this opener. It really helps the jars stay in place as you twist to get them open.
I think this would be great gift for seniors. In fact we gave my parents one who are in their 70s one and they use it all the time. I think every household should have one.
The handle is comfortable and we have never had a problem with the opener slipping off the jar like we have in previous openers we have tried.

I would add that when you eventually start working with forces from other countries you be cautious in who you talk to and what you reveal. Not all countries have such open minds on the subject of GLBT as our military does...
And I'm sure that the CF would brief you on that before you go overseas.
how many jobs do you know of that require you to shower with your coworkers?
There are lots of barracks while on overseas postings where you may live in seperate rooms but share showering and washup facilities...
Colour and gender issues tend to diappear when everyone's on day 6 of the FTX, covered in the same amount of mud and ****, and you still need a sentry posted at 0230 during a monsoon.
But by the time I go overseas (which isn't soon), I will be fully transitioned, and it won't really be an issue then. That's what most people don't seem to be grasping out of this, things are mostly awkward during transition, it's temporary.
where would they stay/ sleep/ shower? with the males, or females? not trying to be funny. Legit question...
Just being curious....why are you asking this question?

Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

Graphics Intel Iris Pro
Software OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

I have tried with Chrome, Firefox and Safari (all updated to the latest versions) and have received the same result every time.
When on the home page click banner titled "General Conference catch up on earlier sessions-October 2014" This is located directly underneath and to the right of the general conference live stream banner. When I click on the banner it takes me to the archive page however I can not see any of the sessions except the women's meeting and even that does not have a title (please see attached image).
Now if you click speakers and then click back to sessions then the titles and morning session shows up (Please see attached image 2).
There was also one time where I actually got everything to show up including the afternoon session which had all the speakers shown but with no options to actually watch or listen or download (like it has normally been in the past) however I cannot figure out how I did it so I unfortunately do not have a screen shot for that phenomena.
I also noticed a slight blip before the page finished loading. aparently the page is loading with the show feed and show music options enabled and then disables them. (please see attached image 3).
As of my posting these issues are still not fixed. I am a CS major studying at BYU-I and recognized these issues and figured it might help if I posted this information so that you guys can go in and do the actual fixing.
Hope this will be of some help!

Tension In The Middle East? No Matter: Oil And Stocks Sink Together
The following is an excerpt from Chris Dieterich | January 4, 2016 | Barrons.com |
Tensions are flaring in the Middle East but oil prices are still falling on Monday.
The standoff pitting Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil producer, against Iran, a fellow OPEC member and rival for influence in the Middle East, escalated quickly over the weekend. The Kingdom, joined by Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, downgraded their diplomatic ties with Iran on the heels of Iranian protests that resulted from the execution of a Shiite cleric.
Even so, West Texas Intermediate crude prices fell 1.1% to $36.65 a barrel in recent trading, while the United States Oil Fund (USO) dropped 0.8%. Brent crude oil, the global benchmark, fell 1% to $36.90 in recent trading after rising more than 4% earlier in the day. The United States Brent Oil ETF (BNO) is down 1%.
Regional turmoil in the Gulf tends to stoke concerns about supply and lift oil prices. Not on Monday. Oil prices did start Monday higher, but gains evaporated quickly as global stocks sold off. The trend adds more fodder to the argument that commodity prices are moving more closely in lockstep with stocks in recent months — not a trend that diversified investors hope to see.

text: According to Dwyane Wade's agent, Henry Thomas, the one-game suspension (which the Miami Heat were adamantly against) he was slapped with by the NBA will be appealed. Per the Sun-Sentinel: "While Wade was forced to sit out Friday's loss to the Detroit Pistons, with that part of the sanction not subject to appeal, Thomas said that Wade would appeal the lost wages, which are in excess of $150,000 for the missed game. 'We are doing it on the basis that I don't think the suspension was warranted,' Thomas said. Thomas said the decision to appeal was made in consultation with Wade. 'He felt that it wasn't warranted,' Thomas said. 'I saw the play and I just don't think that it was.' Thomas is hopeful of a return of the lost wages. 'Absolutely,' he said. 'The players' association will file the appeal. The money will go in escrow and then when the hearing's held, it's held.' Such reviews can take weeks or even months. Such fines or lost wages often are quietly returned to the players upon appeal."

Adopting DevOps – Part III: Aligning the Dev and Ops Teams

Each parish has it's own beautiful, non liturgical tradition that we Filipinos can be proud of like the Good Friday processions, etc.
But this is also the season when the most notorious liturgical abusers bring out the big guns and just let it all out of their wacky heads to stage the most dramatic, tear-jerking cinematic production of the passion, death and resurrection of the Lord, which we once called the Paschal Triduum.
Yes, my dear friends. Every year, priests who have been trained to BASTARDIZE the Sacred Liturgy, in the name of INCULTURATION and the SPIRIT OF VATICAN II, see the Holy Week as LITURGICAL OPEN SEASON, apart from Christmas.
So be on the lookout for these liturgical abuses. They are most certainly going to happen.
1. Women to be included in the washing of the feet
2. "Apostles" washing the feet of other people in the pews.
3. Ordinary bread for the Mass of the Lord's Supper
4. One act plays for the Washing of the Feet
5. Eating of actual bread during the Mass of the Lord's Supper
6. Global Warming inspired Altar of Repose
7. One act plays for the Stations of the Cross
8. Families or celebrities (businessmen or TV/movie personalities) giving their "reflections" for the Seven Last Words.
9. Live action salubong. Actors as Mary and Jesus
10. The usual dancing and tambourines for the Gloria of the Easter Vigil
11. Wannabe balladeer layman singing the Exsultet instead of the priest (I heard from a friend that there is this brat from Paranaque, working in Ateneo, who thinks he can just do whatever he does with the Mass. He is now on my GULP watchlist.)
Can you add more to the list?

Reaching and Revitalizing Rural America
We are all living in a world of information that is instant which should give us goodwill and peace, yet we are seeing the opposite. We are in an age of foolishness, like never before and we do not know how foolish the next day is going to be. We are seeing evils dark side and no one is able to stop what is evil, for Satan is out to kill everyone. The rural America is affected as much, or maybe more for we are smaller than the populated area of our world, and we as a whole feel it effects on our sanctity.
We have a story of struggling in the decaying of morality in our cultures and traditions, in the home and our Churches, for people want to gather where there are numbers. The Rural areas do not have the luxury of large arenas and great musical talent that are entertaining in themselves. We are in an old environment where our Church are older and smaller and our youth have the ability to drive great distances to get what they want. For we have been geared to think bigger is better, and do not put the emphasis on relationship that should be an area of primary importance. The relationship with parents and the Church is what gave the Rural areas a feeling of belonging to God and to one another. That feeling is become now more of an interest in who has the most friends on the internet.
Our Area is dependent upon Farming and Farming has become a large enterprise, involving several families to maintain and run the business which leaves those who are on governmental assistance demanding even more with less work being done by locals and the farmer having to go outside to get their employees. This attracts a lot of evil doing and when it is on a reservation your dealing with superstition and traditions that are based on the animal world, or worship of the Zodiac stars in the heaven and not fulling trusting in God, for God created everything good and evil and it is up to us to know the difference. We lack pride of ownership of what we owe, for we're surrounded by hate for what happen to us in the past. This is seen in how many alcoholics we have and how freely drugs are used. Then the way we treat our boys and girls without intact families, but broken families where the children may not know who Dad is, or maybe who mom is, so they live with grandma or aunties and uncles. This cause one to think about who am I? Who really cares, and they feel they have a reason to hang out with their friends who are bent on trouble, with taking advantage of one another sexually, leading to more confusion of evil actions and behavior. The word dysfunctional becomes compounded for they have no sense of moral responsibility which needs to be taught in the home.
Our School on the reservation are plagued with absenteeism for why go to school for they have no encouragement in the home. You see when in the homes in our rural areas, we are faced with so many problems where no one is wanting to solve them, we have crime at an all-time high, which we are dealing with in our Valley as we have two laws and when you step into the Reservation your Governed by Indian treaty laws and the County Sheriff's Department has to work with Indian jurisdiction. This then allows some to have favor and are not prosecuted according to the law, but turn back into the community to repeat the criminal activity. We have had several community meetings this year already with people in authority and it seems people are good at blaming someone else. Those in Patty Murray's; our Senator in WDC office said, "we did not realize you had such a problem on the Reservation". Our Tribal leader are wanting justice, but seem to be good at placing blame on our political officers, prosecutors and Judges.
heard JoDE Coudy say, "he feels like cutting down the reservations to only
Native Americans, but realizes that can't be done. What needs to be done is for
all to begin to have pride in our homes and our families and clean up our yards
and homes to make them attractive, so we improve our image".
is so true for we are going to be as good as who we worship, reverence, have
hope and faith in to answer our prayers, so we can feel good about who we are,
were we are and where we are going when we die. It is not guaranteed where we
go unless we know who we are following, Satan leads to the evils of hell now
and when we die, hell forever where the worm will never die and that is pain of
not accepting the Lord. Then the Lord gave all the world a promise, He loves
our world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him,
will have everlasting life now and when we die with Him in heaven.
lived on the Reservation most of my life I have seen the struggles with raising
children, making a living and providing for family, I have seen the interest in
the Church dwindle to where it's impact really does not make a difference, for
people feel very strongly they do not need God for they can run their own lives
better. This is the greatest truth Satan wants you to believe and we need to
accept the fact we need to abide in the vine; Jesus so we can produce fruit
that is good for everyone regardless of where or who they are. For God created
us for goodwill and peace, and that takes work that only comes as we seek the
will of the Lord and trust him and obey Him, so we are able then to resist the
Devil and all his host of evil.
hope you see as a Church our God has not changed, for He is the same as He has
always been and loves you and wants us to love Him. God says, I am the way,
truth and life and it seems like truth has escaped our lives and we need to
make sure we have the belt of Truth that we see in Ephesians 6:14 4 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with
is where we prorogate life which is the foundation of our armor. Truth is what
is so needed to day for man has many times given himself over to lust and lust
when it is completed bring forth death and our world is dying out to what is
good and living for their own satisfaction.
Pornography is rampant on the internet and you can see anything you want
to and hear anything, for there are no limits to what they can do.
Ephesians 6: 14 , having
put on the breastplate of righteousness, The Breastplate protects our heart a
picture of the righteousness that needs to be present that guards the heart from
evil so we are not dead but alive in the Lord who is the source of our life
that is pumping the Blood to members of the body, like protecting every member
of the body of Christ as God is in control of our lives.
our feet need to protected by peace Ephesians 6:15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of
the gospel of peace; 1 It is so easy to get blister and John Wooden
the UCLA coach with a 23 winning record made sure his player wore two pairs of
sock so we
did not get blister and have to time out of the game. Today we are climbing the
steepest sloops ever and we need to have Hines feet that are sure regardless of
how steep the slopes get. We are climbing a ladder to heaven and it is
certainly steep today with evil on every side.
7 And take the helmet of
salvation, We
need to practice making sure our helmet is on, so you do not get hurt in the
head where your thinking is. Our battles are fought in the mind and it is our
assurance that God is with us, helping us keep the truth that is needed today
more than every with all the evil going on. and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
for it is the truth that is the sword of the
Spirit which is the Bible that needs to be used to cut away all evil in our
minds, this happens when we read it and meditate upon what we read, then we
have the shield of faith that deflects the lies of Satan and they are many
today saying you're ok you like god. We need the shield of faith for it is
controlled by our arms to defend every part of our bodies and without faith it
is impossible to stay alive in Christ. 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance No one seem to be able to stop
what is going on with lawlessness around the world for it is as we pray with a
great sense of urgency as if our lives depended on having our prayer answer,
for Governments can help no amount of money can help no amount of religiosity
can help, no Doctor can help for it is only God that help us get out of the
evil that surrounds us.
hope you're seeing it does not make any difference where you live, God is
present and wants to accept you for He loves us all. All we have to do is reach
out and touch Him and that is accepting what He came to do and that is to love
you for He gave His only begotten Son Jesus to die for us, that whosoever
believes upon Him shall (should) have everlasting life. I hope that is what you
want everlasting life now and forever, as you abide in the vine; Jesus, so you
can automatically produce good fruit for all you need to taste and see it is

Meet Jonathan Bohdan, a new member of the Texas Data Solutions team. We sat down with Jonathan and asked him a few questions to help you get to know him a little better.
Jonathan has become a vital part of our company, and a true partner in its success. From day one, he has been able to handle any issue in his path, and has grown into a reliable and self-sufficient member of our team. We are happy to have him onboard!
