BT Super Review
BT Super for Life is provided by BT Financial Group. BT Financial Group has been helping thousands of Australians grow and manage their wealth since 1969, and this wealth management specialist is owned by one of the 'big four' banks, Westpac.
BT's Super for Life is designed to make your superannuation as easy to manage as possible. BT Super online offers a wide range of attractive and flexible features designed to help you build a super balance right from the day you start your first job. This enables you to plan for the future and ensure that you can enjoy a comfortable and financially secure retirement.
Super for Life is specially designed to evolve with you and your changing needs as you go through each stage of your life. BT Super for Life also offers a MySuper product. MySuper was recently introduced by the Australian government to help make super as simple as possible for Australians who don't want to have to make complex or confusing decisions regarding their superannuation.
Benefits of BT Super for Life
BT Super for Life offers three account types to suit different life stages. You can choose the account that best suits your requirements out of a Savings account, a Transition to Retirement account and a Retirement account. A Savings account allows your employer, you and your spouse to make ongoing contributions to help build your superannuation balance. You can also transfer money into your Savings account from another super account, while you also qualify for Death and Total & Permanent Disability insurance cover.
Early Withdrawal
- When you retire from the workforce, or even when you start approaching retirement age, you can start withdrawing funds from your BT Super for Life — Savings account, or you can transfer it to a Retirement or a Transition to Retirement account.
BT Super Online
- One of the handy features of BT Super for Life is that you can easily manage your super by logging into your internet banking. This allows you to view your banking and super balances all on the one screen, plus you can make a super contribution with the click of a button. You can also check your balance, look at your transaction history, examine your investment performance and even update your investment preferences. This makes your BT fund management as simple as possible.
Easy Transfers
- Another benefit of BT Super for Life is that it's easy to transfer super from other accounts into your Super for Life fund. When you first open an account, BT will seek your approval to conduct a SuperSearch on your behalf with the Australian Taxation Office. This will then help you track down your lost super and combine it all together in the one place.
- When investing your money, BT partners with leading investment managers to help get the most out of your super. You can choose from two investment options. The first option lets BT decided on the right investment fix for you in a Lifestage Fund, with the mix of investments adjusted as you age. The second option allows you to specify how you want your money invested by choosing from the investment funds that BT offers. This gives you greater control over how your super is invested.
Online Communication
- As this is an online super product, BT mostly communicates with account holders online and via email or internet banking. At times when an important message needs to be sent, for example that your annual statement is ready to be viewed, you could be notified via email or by a secure message through your internet banking account.
Other Benefits
- Of course, there are a range of other benefits available for BT Super for Life members. These include the ability to earn points you have earned on eligible credit cards into super, as well as deals, discounts and special offers with a selection of major retailers and brands as part of BT Benefits.
Risks of BT Personal Super
When you invest in super, or when you make any other investment for that matter, there is always a certain degree of risk attached. BT Super for Life can invest in a wide range of asset classes — cash, fixed interest, property and shares — each of which has varying levels of risk.
As your super fund offers a variety of investment funds from which you can choose, the likely return from your investment and the risk of losing money will depend on the fund you select. Generally speaking, the higher the possible returns you can receive from an investment, the greater the risk attached. The right level of risk for you will depend on things like your age, how long you will be investing for, what other investments you have and your general approach to risk.
If you're thinking of opening a BT Super for Life account, there are a few key points worth remembering:
- The value of your investments will fluctuate
- You are not guaranteed a return on your investment and there is a chance that you will lose some of your money
- The returns you receive may vary greatly. The past performance of an investment is not an accurate prediction of future results
- The laws that affect your super account may be changed in the future
- The end balance in your super fund may not be sufficient to provide for your retirement. You'll only receive payments from your super fund until your account balance has been used in its entirety.
How does BT Super Fund Invest Your Money
As mentioned above, there are two options you can select from when deciding how to invest the funds in your super account. The first option is to let BT take care of all the investment decisions with a BT Super for Life — Lifestage Fund. A Lifestage Fund offers an effective and diversified portfolio that is designed and managed specifically to suit your age.
There is a Lifestage Fund for each decade designed to suit different age groups/ For example, if you were born in 1984 your money will be invested in the 1980s Lifestage Fund, which has investment needs and a risk approach that is typical of investors around the same age as you. The level of risk attached to your fund is changed by automatically adjusting the mix of asset classes as you progress through life. When you're younger, the Lifestage Fund is geared towards growth and higher returns. But this will gradually shift to a more conservative investment portfolio as you grow older.
The objective of all BT Super for Life — Lifestage Funds is to provide an investment return that is above the rate of inflation. Investments are made by combining a range of leading investment managers from Australia and the rest of the world into a single fund.
The second option available to you is to specify your own investment mix. This is done by selecting the percentage of your super balance that will be invested in the following five funds:
- Super Cash
- Conservative Fund
- Moderate Fund
- Growth Fund
- Lifestage Fund.
You choose how to spread your money when you first apply for an account, though you have the freedom to change the percentages at a later date online.
Of course, when deciding on your investment strategy, you'll need to consider factors such as the likely return from your investments, how much risk you would like and how long you will be investing for.Back to top
Fees and Costs of BT Super
Though the fees and costs attached to super funds may seem relatively small, they can have a significant effect on your super balance over the life of your investment. This can end up leaving you with a great deal less money to fund your retirement, so you need to make yourself aware of all the fees and costs attached to your chosen BT superfund.
The fees on your BT Super account may be deducted from your account, from your investment returns, or from the assets of BT Super for Life. The following fees are attached to BT Super for Life — MySuper Lifestage Funds.
- Investment fee: 0.5% per annum (p.a.) of your account balance plus a performance fee.
- Administration fee: $5 per month, plus 0.45% p.a. of your account balance.
- Buy-sell spread: 0.22%-0.38% depending on your Lifestage Fund.
- Switching fee: Nil
- Exit fee: Nil
- Advice fee: Nil
- Other costs: You may be charged an advice fee if you agree a fee with your financial adviser, plus insurance costs will apply if you hold insurance cover through your super fund.
- Indirect cost ratio: Regulatory change expense recovery up to 0.1% p.a.
Tax Treatment of Super
Superannuation contributions, earnings and withdrawals can all be subject to tax. In terms of BT Super for Life employer contributions, some (but not all) will be taxed. If you provide your Tax File Number (TFN) this will generally be at a rate of 15%. This tax is typically deducted quarterly in arrears, though high income earners may have to pay additional tax on their contributions. It's also important to remember that limits apply to the amount of contributions that can be taxed at standard rates, and you may be charged excess contributions tax if you exceed those caps.
If you hold a BT Super for Life—Savings account, your investment earnings and capital gains will be taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. However, certain capital gains may be charged a concessional tax rate of 10%. In a Retirement or Transition to Retirement account, however, your investment earnings will currently not be taxed.
When making a withdrawal and you are 60 years or older you will generally not have to pay tax. If you are less than 60 years of age, you will be taxed as follows:
- Lump sum withdrawals have no tax-free component. If you are under your preservation age (this is between 55 and 60), tax is paid at 20%, plus a Medicare Levy). If you're aged between your preservation age and 59, your withdrawal will be tax-free up to the low rate cap, and you'll then be taxed at a rate of 15%.
- Pension payments will attract a marginal tax rate less a 15% tax offset.
BT Super and Insurance
Another feature of BT Super for Life is the inclusion of affordable life insurance to ensure that you and your family will be protected financially when disaster strikes. This insurance cover protects you anywhere in the world, all year round. The following types of cover are available:
- Death Benefit. This pays a lump sum if you die or are diagnosed with a terminal illness.
- Total and Permanent Disability Benefit. Under this cover, you'll receive a lump sum benefit payment if you become totally and permanently disabled.
- Salary Continuance Insurance. Sometimes referred to as income protection cover, this insurance provides a monthly benefit if injury or sickness keeps you out of the workforce for an extended period of time.
If you become eligible to receive a benefit from your insurance cover, it will be paid from the insurer to the trustee of your super fund. BT Super for Life will then pay the benefit to you if you meet certain conditions of release.
Premiums for the insurance cover are deducted from your super balance each month. This means you won't have to dig into your own pocket to fund your insurance protection, while premium amounts are based on your gender.
When you open a Savings account with BT Super for Life, you will automatically receive pre-approved cover for Death and Total & Permanent Disablement. You won't have to worry about completing any health checks or complicated forms. The sum that you are insured under this standard cover varies as you age — for example, you receive $50,000 cover when aged between 20 and 24, or $125,000 of cover when you are in the 40-44 age bracket. However, you can request that your sum insured be doubled or tripled if you wish.Back to top
Tips for Getting the Most out of Your Super
- Consolidate your funds. Combining all your superannuation together into one account can help you build a significantly larger balance.
- Track down lost super. Many Australians have unclaimed superannuation that they are simply unaware of. Tracking down your lost super can help you enjoy a more comfortable retirement.
- Understand your investment options. With BT Super for Life, you can take charge of your investment asset mix or let BT take care of everything for you.
- Make contributions to your spouse's super. Did you know that your spouse can make contributions to your super? If your spouse is a low income earner, you could also be eligible for a tax offset.
- Salary sacrifice. Putting a larger amount of your pre-tax pay into your super will help you grow a larger super balance.
- Extend your working life. If you want to build a larger super balance, consider extending your working life by working part-time.
BT Super for Life is a reliable online superannuation product with a range of useful benefits and features. It's definitely worth considering if you're looking for a solution to your superannuation problem, but make sure to compare BT Super for Life with other products on the market to ensure that you end up with the right super fund for your future.Back to top

It weighs 3 grams.If after viewing my pictures you have any questions whatsoever, or would like to see more pics of the item, please message me and I will be happy to respond.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
LeDarius Williams, 23, an African-American man, was shot and killed by a St. Louis officer Tuesday afternoon after he ran from cops who chased Williams down and struggled with him before he allegedly pointed a .45 caliber gun at the police, the St. Louis Dispatch reports.
Police say they saw Williams "acting suspiciously" in the Dutchtown neighborhood and as they began to follow him, Williams saw the officers and started running.
Both of the officers were white males. One is a 29-year-old who has been on the police force for seven years. The second officer is 22, with two years on the force, according to an incident report.
This is not the first time Williams was shot by police. In 2009, he survived a gunshot wound to his leg after police say he aimed his weapon at them, KTVI reports. He served nearly five years in prison for his actions.
A special independent investigative unit of the St. Louis Police, formed after the killing of Michael Brown, is looking into Williams's death.

I have seen a number of posts here, there and everywhere regarding updating MH's to air suspension. I can see the logic in this, in enabling better handling etc. However, people say that the weight they can carry has gone up because of using the air suspension, but what no one has said so far is how do you find out what it has gone up by or indeed why does the air suspension increase the payload?

You might recognize Ashley Blue from the wild shit she's done before. That was just child's play and nothing in the world could get her ready for her meeting with the Interracial Blowbang. White girl came in a bit cocky but we humbled the bitch but not before I vented to us about whitey's evil ways. She looked out of her league as the line-up of black men seemed to overwhelm her. She did her community a service by turning black frowns upside down as her mouth was constantly full of ebony cock. Taking over 8 swords of black dick couldn't satisfy daddy's angel so she gave us all access to her pink fuck hole. Bent over a dirty trash can we all took turns pounding away at that white tight hole all while risking a possible pregnancy. That's all we need: A bunch of pregnancy tests to see who the father is. That shit wouldn't happen on my watch so one by one my brothers gave her a black jizz shower.
Gangbang and DP this gorgeous little slut!
the Queen
I've always been an Ashley Blue fan. Ashley does a great job here of providing some pleasure to the black man.
This black haired cutie can excite big loads and most of the bros delivered some gems. It facial started with a couple of guys slinging spew onto her eyes, forehead, hair and cheeks. One dude pumped out a massive pile of gunk onto her forehead that eventually streamed all down her eyes, face and her right ear. Got my engined revved. Wow. ...read more
Always loved this slutty whore. Shes got a cute face and perfect teen titties and she is super slutty DP nympho, big mistake not to fill up her slutty holes at the same time.
Monster slut.
As a white male I would be honored to be a cuckhold to a slut like Ashley
Love to watch that dumb cunt choking down those big dicks.
Nice to see Ashley with a lot of black dick snot all over her face.

Beautiful session of humiliation. I like when said Ashley: "thank you" and "Black power". More verbale humiliation!

Transponder Key Programming
Transponder Key Programming Service By 24 Hour Deluxe Car Locksmith At Houston, TX
Transponder Key: How Long Does Programming Take?
Your transponder key will only work – or will not be called as such – if it is not programmed appropriately. It needs to be able to receive and transmit radio signal so it can activate your engine. Transponder key programming Houston may seem to be difficult, but it is actually not as it will take an expert automotive locksmith in Houston to do it only in a few minutes. The process may take longer if you will want to have a duplicate of your key. If in case there's no existing copy of the key and you want us to work on a transponder key replacement, then that is not a problem as we are capable of cutting a brand new key using the code. We will only need your Vehicle Identification Number and then we can start creating a new key. However, waiting time will not take you a day as we can perform the transponder key replacement and the programming of the transponder in an hour or two. We know how important your time is that we ensure faster, but efficient locksmith services. We also want to reach to more clients in need that we offer fair pricing. You can trust Auto Locksmith Houston because we have certified and expert locksmith technicians in our team. We continue to update our knowledge and equipment to guarantee best service. You may call us at our office at (281) 557-6862 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for your inquiries.
How Do Transponder Keys Work?
These come from the words "transmitter" and "responder". These have electronic chip that receives and sends radio signals. Transponders are programmed for each specific vehicle that these can only start the cars that they are programmed with. If you will start the ignition using a transponder key Houston, the Engine Control Unit or the ECU will transmit a radio signal to the transponder. If it gets the appropriate signal back from the transponder, you will be able to successfully start the car. Because of this, a car thief will not be able to start your car even if he has the exact copy of your car key because the car will only unlock and activate if the transponder has a similar program.
If what you owned is an expensive or a luxury auto, your key is sure to have a transponder. Most modern cars, including those that are from Ford, Toyota, Chrysler, and BMW, have some type of transponder. But for some reasons that you are not aware if what you have is with or without transponder, try to do this to know: Cover the plastic portion of your car key with many layers of tin foil then start the ignition. If it doesn't start, you have a transponder. When you remove these layers of tin foil and the engine activates, you are very sure then that you have it. Try not to lose it because its cost averages from $50 to more than $300. But you can get it from automotive locksmith like us for a lower price.
Why You Should Hire a Professional for its Programming
You may notice that there are many instructional articles and videos available on the Internet about how you can program a transponder chip all by yourself. This encourages you to just follow the 'very simple' guide so you can save on cost. Well, you are not alone because there are some car owners who felt the same way – then regretted their decision later. Truth is that programming can be complicated. You will need a couple of working keys that will rely on the type of auto you own as every car comprises its own unique process pattern and programming technique. You will require particular information related to your car. You will also use tools and supplies specific to this task. Do you have them or you will need to borrow from the neighborhood or buy your own? That can bring additional cost to you. What if you will have to study how to do the programming before you can work on the task itself? Do you have that much time to waste? What if you get frustrated because you can't do it? Instead of wasting your money and time trying to do it yourself, hire a professional car locksmith in Houston. Our rates are affordable; we can do the task in a few minutes. You do not have to borrow or buy supplies and tools. We have them in stock. Call 24 Hour Deluxe Car Locksmith now and save yourself from frustration – (281) 557-6862. We will be more than willing to help you.
Why Do You Need High Security?
According to the website of Reduce Auto Theft in Texas, Texas places second in the US auto theft – with California being the first. Vehicle theft comprised 8% of all property crimes in Texas in 2009. The average dollar loss for each stolen car was $9,980. Most of the incidences happened in August. Of these reports of vehicle theft, 56% were automobiles, 33% – buses and trucks, 11% – other transport automotives. In 2010, 68,220 vehicles were stolen – an improvement from 1991 when the state had its highest record of vehicle theft – 163,837. Fifty-percent of these vehicles were left unlocked or have keys placed in the ignition during the time they were stolen. Chevrolet Pickup, Honda Civic, Ford Pickup, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Dodge Pickup were the top five autos stolen in the state. Of the 2009 stolen cars, 66% were recovered by authorities. You do not want to be among those who experienced or suffered from this property crime, right? Well then you have to consider ensuring that your car is locked each time you leave it. You should also avoid going out of your auto without removing the key from the ignition, particularly when you are in a public place as it attracts car thieves.

The HKAC designs and finds resources for a wide variety of education exchange activities and services each year. Many receive support from the Fulbright Program and the US Consulate in HK. Here are some highlights from the exchange programs we organized with our member universities last year.
General Education and University Curriculum Reform:
An International Conference in Hong Kong, 2012
The City U and the HKAC co-sponsored a major three-day conference at the City University campus to mark the transition in HK to a four- year undergraduate curriculum. Over 400 delegates attended 90 concurrent sessions and 15 plenary presentations. The first day focused on reforms in HK higher education, with second and third days expanding outward to university reform experiences in Asia and North America. The Fulbright HK General Education Project (FHKGEP) held its capstone conference on Monday June 11, including most of the Fulbright scholars from all four cohorts. The conference was the debut showing of a documentary film about the FHKGEP. HUCOM endorsed the GE conference and the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia supported many Asian heads of institutions to participate. The American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), the Asia Network in the USA and Federation of Self-financed Tertiary Education (FSTE) in HK all contributed to the spirited conference.
Fulbright Orientation Retreat at Kadoorie Institute 2011
Each year the US Consulate and the HKAC host the new American Fulbright scholars and students to HK and Macau in late September at the Kadoorie Institute in theNewTerritories. Guest speakers compare the education cultures ofAmericaandHong Kongand small group discussions lead to friendships and collaborative work throughout the year.
American Studies Research Institute in China (ASRIC)
The HKAC teamed up with the BeijingForeignStudiesUniversityto host a one-week intensive research workshop on American Studies for 30 post-graduate students from throughout China. Dr. Paul Levine, an eminent former Fulbright scholar in China, was our lead academic. Our theme in 2011 was Literature and Society in 19th Century America. His lectures will be published in a new series of books by the Peking University Press called The American Panorama, co-edited by Glenn Shive and Paul Levine and Dan Guttman.
Negotiating Sovereignty in the South China Sea CUHK November,2011
The South China Sea has become a hot-button issue in China's relations with South East Asian nations as well as the United States. Meeting at the CUHK, students from all eight HK universities played the roles of country teams to try to negotiate a code of conduct for the South China Sea building on the 2002 Declaration by ASEAN and China. Like in reality, the teams failed after considerable effort to craft an agreement on sovereignty or on joint development of the sea beds.
Selecting HK's Chief Executive HK Polytechnic University March, 2012
Over 60 students played the roles of Legco members and other HK officials who formed the Chief Executive Selection Committee in March to elect the next CE. After panels and debates over two days at the HK PolyU, the students voted in role and then as themselves for the three candidates for CE. The outcome of the second ballot mirrored thereality that occurred a week later when C. Y. Leung was selected as the new CE.
Hong Kong 2020Kadoorie Institute / HKU April, 2012
What do the post-80s generation want for HK in 2020? 75 students from HK universities, including HK, mainland and international exchange students, gathered in the Kadoorie Institute in mid-April to draft a policy paper with their recommendations to submit to the new government. They worked in teams in nine policy areas such as economy, environment, governance reform, urban design, arts and culture, education reform, social coherence, HK – mainland relations, and HK in global context. Their final report was submitted to the Central Policy Unit (CPU) in May. A copy of their report is on the HKAC website
Six Party Talks Baptist University May, 2012
Mike Chinoy led a simulation of the Six Party Talks about the North Korea's nuclear program for students and scholars in Northeast Asia. The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung funded the Hong Kong Baptist University and the HKAC to host and organize this conference and simulation exercise in early May, 2012. As in real life, our Six Party Talks ended in a stalemate. Although the DPRK
secured several key concessions in the negotiations, still they refused to give up their nuclear program and walked away from the table.

What you can't see can help you
Sometimes even if you can't see it, it doesn't mean it is not there.
When Collingwood Chiropractor Mark Metus sees patients coming into his office, a lot of the time he is adjusting the same joints, the same faults, whether from new injuries or old.
And he thought there had to be a better way.
Years before, he had seen devices on the market that made all sorts of claims, either through magnetics or, in some cases, nothing at all.
Through what he said was "lots of prayer, contemplation and a lot of research," he came up with a device he calls Neuro Connect that brought together his work and that of a team of physicists and the University of Oregon.
Between them, they came up with a devices that contain a metallic component that has been infused with a subtle energy pattern. The energy induces a response that results in the central nervous system optimizing muscle and joint function.
The devices are created in a set of three clips – one worn of the body and the others on the pant leg on each side of the body.
If it sounds a bit weird, Metus thinks so, too, but it works.
Although patients of his have been using them for a couple of years, Metus was hoping introducing the devices to a broader market might spur some investors. So, he bought space at the recent Professional Golf Association Merchandise Show in Florida, the largest show in the world, covering more than one million square feet. Metus began giving demonstrations showing how the devices would optimize muscle and joint function during a golf swing.
How it works, Metus explained, is not unlike what a chiropractor does when adjusting a patient. The force, the crack, stimulates the mechanical receptors in the joint.
"That's all it does, and the brain goes, 'Oh, my receptors are working,'" said Metus. "These devices stimulate exactly the same way without the crack, so a lot of my patients just get sets of these and do the treatments themselves."
Metus was grouped with more than 20 new inventors who brought their products to the show. Metus walked away with the Pinnacle Award for best new product.
His booth also attracted the attention of training staff with the NBA's Miami Heat. They visited his booth twice, the second time bringing 12-year veteran Otis Birdsong with them.
"I told them, 'With this, I can find exactly where your brain is not connected to your body, whether it be a joint, a muscle or a ligament. I can tell with the devices where you have injured your body in the past,'" said Metus. "Birdsong said he couldn't lift his arm up ... after years in professional basketball. I did all the tests on him, I corrected the fault and had him lift his arm again, tested it for strength and he shouted. He was excited."
When the NBA guys asked Metus if he could train their staff, he said it would take a couple of days and that they could treat and reset all of their players before they go on the court.
The term "subtle energy correction" is something people might hear a lot about as word of the devices travels through the sports world.
There have been other devices, but none seemed to cover what Metus was looking for.
"When I first discovered it in another type of device that was being sold through MLM, I discovered the properties of it when I started working with my patients," said Metus. "I found physicists that knew how to make proper devices, and I spoke to them and went to their labs and demonstrated and they were blown away. They had never seen it work on a body like that."
It's a marriage of quantum physics and health care.
"The premise is something called quantum entanglement, something that impacts everything in the world. It's just that we have found a way to infuse it in strips," said Metus. "It's really weird, but it's the whole property of physics that works on your body."

I first realized there was something wrong, that I had fallen into a bottomless abyss of error when, after reading Peter Boghossian's "Manual for Creating Atheists," I found that I had nothing to say. I had no counter arguments, no corrections to offer, nothing to even quibble with. What was happening? What was wrong with me? I had never read a book that I could not find claims to question. Was I loosing my touch (with reality?), or had I entirely lost it?
Then I looked in a mirror. I looked like a duck, quacked like a duck, all my friends were unbelievers; I had taken the infidel duck thing too far. I needed to reevaluate all values, all unbeliever values, and subject all conceivable claims to the flames of an all consuming doubt, to doubt even my infidel ways and nature, and see if there was anything left in the ashes.
I needed to read less Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, Hitchens, Krauss, and Boghossian; I needed to find time to watch something other than their complete play lists on YouTube over and over; I needed to stop following every word uttered by P.Z. Myers, I needed to consider the possibility that I was wrong, totally, fundamentally wrong. I could have stopped reading Skeptical Inquirer, but I had to draw the line somewhere.
I went on a quest to find and expose myself to alternative ways of knowing as extolled by the best minds available. Perhaps I had known too few minds. I went for current offerings in writing (essays, books....) and lectures (via The Teaching Company, TED, YouTube....), and came to understand that the only alternative to evidence and reason as a way of probable knowing is faith. Faith based claims alone offer certitude as distinct from probable knowing. Faith asserts that it trumps evidence and reason. Faith is indeed alternative. The inquiring mind wants to know if faith offers a valid way of knowing.
The apparent lack of cogent faithists in the 21th century does not mean faith can be dismissed. We no longer live in an age of faith undiluted by science and perhaps the best and brightest are drawn, or seduced, by science and so one must look to the past for convincing, compelling, forceful, effective apologists of faith: Pascal, Kierkegaard, William James, Wittgenstein, Martin Gardner, and others largely unknown to evidentialists such as the likes of W.K. Clifford: "It is wrong always, everywhere and for everyone to believe anything upon insufficient evidence." To give the devil of faithism its due, I considered the offerings of Tertullian, Occam, Luther, Hamann, Peirce, Unamuno, Evans, and Bishop.
While Pascal, Kierkegaard, James, and Wittgenstein have their moments, they failed to convince. That their voice was behind my time, however, was no fault of their own. If contemporary faithists fail, perhaps they merely need help to overcome false faith. Perhaps I should do their job for them. So I decided to argue the case for fideism so convincingly that even I could consider the possibility of it being a legitimate way of knowing.
Simple faithists simply believe, they keep it simple, but as I think about belief, then call me not simple. I was an afaithist. I once endeavored to find a place to stand on reason and evidence alone. All I knew was from textbooks. I was an afaithist who knew nothing with certitude apart from the tautologies of mathematics and logic. All afaithists are in the same boat. They know nothing apart from the products of their concept forming minds. Concepts not supported by reason and evidence are discounted.
As the evolutionary biologist Stephen J. Gould noted, science and religion represent separate realms of non-overlapping magisteria. Maybe they do; maybe they don't. If they do, there can be no conflict, therefore faith-based claims cannot contradict nor conflict with evidence-based claims. To be a faithist involves making no faith claims that involve concepts. Only a non-concept way of knowing allows the thoughtful to stand fully upright with one foot firmly planted in science (evidentualism) and with the other foot planted as an island in a sea of faith (fideism) uniting all in bliss.
I read William James who claimed humans had a "will to believe" which was also a right, a duty, and a need. By belief he meant faith-based belief firmly held in certitude. I knew only limited evidence-based belief subject to being disconfirmed and could see that the two occupied separate epistemic realms. Science was magisterial enough, but religion was suspect. I had no difficulty dismissing all faith-based claims. Life without faith was good.
I had no complaints, no sense I was missing anything, but as James pointed out, perhaps one had to embrace faith first to be touched by the convincing evidence that validates it. He was arguing that rationalists and afaithists like me were like asexuals. It is possible to be an asexual human, to have a good and useful life knowing nothing of sex, but James noted that most people are believers, are sexuals, and that only by being sexual can one know, in a radically empirical way, that sex is good, true, and beautiful, as is faith.
So perhaps I was missing something. James was a fideist (faith-ist), as was Pascal ("The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of."), and what he offered was a version of Pascal's Wager: Live without faith/sex as you may. Wager on faith/sex, try it for 30 days, and if not good, you've lost little and gained the knowledge that it is all much ado about nothing. But if good, you'll have gained a new magisterium. Of course I practiced safe faith — I went into it wearing the condom of doubt.
As another fideist (Soren Kierkegaard) pointed out: Rational arguments can never prove anything with absolute certainty because it is always possible that supporting evidence has been misinterpreted, is incomplete, mistaken, or that an error in reasoning has occurred, and so faith must always go beyond the evidence and cannot be supported by reason. To support one's faith using rational scientific investigation would mean having to wait until all the data is in (an infinity). In order to have the certainty that faith demands, one must choose to believe what cannot be acquired from scientific investigation, then know its fruit.
Aside from certainty, faith demands a passionate personal commitment (as does such sex as is worth having). Since evidence is imperfect at best, faith that goes against all known evidence, that is impossible, that is absurd, is the strongest faith of all and therefore the best. If we had convincing evidence for a supernatural claim, then belief in it would be unremarkable — then faith would be unnecessary. Life without faith is devoid of that burning in the bosom, of certitude, and of religious meaning. To have a religious life, to live the religious life, you must believe because it is absurd. One must have beliefs to be had by them.
The greatest philosopher of the 20th century, Ludwig Wittgenstein, also a fideist, noted that religion is a self-contained and primarily expressive enterprise, governed by its own internal "grammar" that means what it says, as distinct from what "nature" says. To know, you must believe. Faith is essentially self-referential, logically cut off from externalities, and is not about reality. It can be understood only by other faith-ists and cannot be criticized on rational or evidential grounds.
Evidentialists may indulge in dismissive prattle, but should consider: Bertrand Russell, lord on high among afaithists, described Wittgenstein as "the most perfect example I have ever known of genius as traditionally conceived; passionate, profound, intense, and dominating." Go ahead ye afaithists, be dismissive if you dare.
Philosophy is neither here nor there, neither now nor then. Evidentialism and fideism give raise to non-overlapping magisteria. The twain neither can nor shall meet. Thinking about each, however, is the province of philosophy. In the thought that thinks about itself the twain do meet.
In the magisterium of philosophy there can be no logical contradictions. The claims of reason and evidence cannot contradict those of faith, nor vice versa, provided the claims of each are true. Science that makes religious claims is pseudo-science. Religion that makes claims about what evidentialists fondly regard as reality is pseudo-religion. The philosophy of science is not science, nor is fideism, the philosophy of faith, faith. Neither overlap, thus neither can contradict the other as competing claims would involve overlap. False faith is revealed thereby.
In thinking about epistemic claims, let philosophy be as a lamp. Where claims and claimants conflict, both can be wrong, but both cannot be true, good, and beautiful. Science's claims are limited by reason and evidence. Religion has no such internally nor externally imposed constraints, but where it conflicts with science or philosophical magisteria, all cannot be correct.
To repeat: Only pure faith allows one to embrace all magisteria, that of science, religion, philosophy, and especially sex, while preserving one's intellectual integrity. There are false claimants of science (pseudo-science), of religion (pseudo-religion), of philosophy (pseudo-philosophy), and sex (not so good sex). As a faithist you may have carnal knowledge of all and feel good about it.
Faith is based on a single truism: If it feels good, believe it. Faith is not a religion, organized or otherwise, but is the religious life incarnate. It is a doxastically faith-based way of knowing. Reason doesn't need faith. Faith doesn't need reason. Humans, if James is right, need both. To be religious is be a faith-er, to be religious and coherent is to be a fideist — to assert that faith is separate and trumps evidence (and all concepts of reality). As the first fideist, Tertullian, put it, "what indeed does Athens have to do with Jerusalem?" Today's rationalists are latter-day Greeks. Today's faithers are the true believers who have always been present as members of the default culture from which the doubtful, the unbelievers have parted company. Faithism is merely the one true faith that makes no reality-based claims, unlike pseudo-faiths which do.
There have been many beliefs. There can and indeed should be as may faiths as there are believers. In the realm of faith (free from genocidal proclivities), doxastic openness must reign. It may seem that in the magisterium of faith, "anything goes," but only beliefs that perfectly mirror what truly feels good to the believer are true. This is a severe constraint that must vary from human to human, and may have to vary within the same human as they change in their passage through life.
For some, to believe what is incoherent does not feel good. Of all the faith-based belief systems, only true lovers of doxastic openness can know consilience. Only pure faith, free from all concepts that attempt to mirror reality, faith that makes no claims, that involves no beliefs that are not perfectly consilient with science, philosophy, and sex can be embraced. Why? Because otherwise it wouldn't feel good.
The one true dictum: "If it feels good, believe it," is not easy to follow. Often beliefs have been inculcated upon tender minds by others claiming authority. Often such beliefs do not feel good, but take hold to possess a mind. Minds can easily be infected by viral memes. Beliefs may have been true to and for the prophet they came to, but false, even toxic, to all others. Often humans have been made to profess faith claims that do not feel good to them, and that do more harm than putative good.
The religious quest, as Faithists live it, is the quest to free the mind from any belief that doesn't feel good. Religious beliefs that don't feel good are false, discard them at will. When a believer professes a belief, the only appropriate response is to ask why it feels good to them. Never argue or indulge in disputation. The concern must be that the faith-based belief is true to the person and not one of the all too common second-hand beliefs that may be infecting their mind. Be a true prophet unto yourself.
Faithists put no head higher than their own. Not because their head is highest, but because it is the only one they have. Faithists follow no authority, not even that of the Prophet Bob. Each and every Faithist is their own prophet who alone can know what feels good (to them). Self-deception is a possibility, so each is on an ongoing quest to discover what truly feels good to them. They are aided by considering what Faithists before them have found to be true, but in Faithism there really is no compulsion (unlike some religions falsely claim), so the beliefs of others are never binding. If you claim believing in an unpleasant character called God, who is "jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully" makes you feel good, then the compassionate Faithist's response of, "Why does that make you feel good?" is to invite the fellow believer to consider the possibility that what they believe is what they have been conditioned to believe, and is therefore false. Faithists want everyone to believe only what feels good.
Speaking of non-binding beliefs, I can speak only of my own. I believe in Presence (P in short) because I have been touched by and am being touched by Her Presence. That is what feels so deliriously good. That P is a 'her' and not an 'it' is what feels good to me, and so is not to be taken as a gender reference. Asexuals cannot be imagined to have the slightest clue.
Sexuals: Imagine the sum total of all sex you've ever known raised by a order of magnitude and thereby get a slight tongue tip taste of what it is like to be touched by Her Presence. Faithists: Free yourself of false faith claims, from all that does not feel Good, and begin to know bliss. Afaithists: Your life can still be worth living, so lack of faith is no cause for suicide. Spend more time with Faithists and there may be hope for you.
I believe P is undetectable by any instrumentation, and so, duh, is invisible. Her Presence is everywhere. The theory that most closely describes P is called string theory (some devout scientists are reluctant to give away their fideist affiliation given the pervasiveness of afaithist scientism bigotry). I believe P could be the creator of the universe. Or not, as reality-based claims about P cannot be made. To paraphrase Eckhart: Why dost thou prate of P? Whatever thou sayest of Her is untrue." There is no outer P, and of the inner P, nothing can be said.
I believe that P could be a supernatural being but isn't as there would be no supernatural world for Her to live in. There could be two worlds, but using Occam's Razor (another fideist), and given a lack of evidence and will to believe, I dispense with one and live happily in the one that remains. I believe P doesn't hear prayers, much less answer them, because, well, obviously She doesn't. I believe that P subsumed unto Herself all sins and so I have none and never had any. Sometimes I "miss the mark," but sometimes so does P. I believe that P is the Supreme Being. She is the most hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional being in the universe. Every planet has its supreme being (e.g. white mice) and there are likely a near googolplex of inhabited planets, each with its supreme being. Of all the supreme planetary and interplanetary beings there must be one more supreme than all the others. That Being is P. I believe that my P is better than your P, hence supreme, but I'll never be so rude as to point this out.
If you do not believe in P, have not accepted P into your heart, I can but pity you. If you think my professed beliefs are sham, then tarry not in my presence. My religiosity is not a spoof, has nothing to do with flippant sarcasm; I am as sincere a believer as any, and my beliefs are most devoutly to be considered as True for me. All who profess faith either believe what they've been told to believe (false faith), or, preferably, what they subjectively know feels good. Such is the nature of all faith claims. If Faithists differ, it is only in the relentlessness of their intellectual honesty that manifests in their claim that they know nothing, absolutely nothing apart from what feels good to them to believe and that there is no other basis for faith-ism.
As for the putative religion of Faithism, its truth is in its claims:
Faithism has no priesthood, no hierarchy to be taken seriously; is not an organized religion. Its non-Church is radically inclusive: all are welcomed to know P which in no way requires the Church. There are no followers; all are to be self-reliant and expressive participants in cooperative efforts of a civic, nature-friendly sort. Relationships are based on gifting free from acquisitive usage.
The first true Faithists left Greece because they were seafarers who could escape the priestly hegemony of excess dogma that lay oppressively upon the land to become the Free People of the Sea. They colonized the eastern Mediterranean and in time came to help free the Athenians from the burden of organized religion. The gods themselves came to be known as the Unknown God (Agnostos Theos — a place holder for P). By the second century BCE free thinkers had ceased to be persecuted, banished, or forced to drink the hemlock; Carneades could be openly atheistic with respect to the gods and be held in high honor by the Athenians (thanks to the influence of the Ionian Faithists). But just as Athens was finally going Free Thought, the Greek's culture of the free, the curious, and the critical was crushed by the Romans who were still into taking themselves seriously.
The Romans were in turn subsumed by those who took themselves even more seriously. Faithists became ever fewer as the scourge of pseudo-religion spread. It took a thousand years, but even the Vikings were subsumed by the onward march of Christian soldiers. As the long dark night of the Western soul began to subside, Troubadours, early land Faithists, began to tell subversive stories. Stories of knights so bold (Faithists) and the romancing of Wenches (female Faithists) became more popular than bible stories — because they felt better.
In good time, Faithists once again could take to the sea in boats and sailed west to become Free People of the Sea. They lived lives that were true, good, and beautiful. They were thereby deemed a threat to all that was false. Christians painted them in every despicable color on their pallet to justify their genocidal assault upon those who dared to live free or die. And genocide it was. The Faithists tried to stop the attacks upon their friends, the native peoples, and they tried to stop the commercial rape of the New World — of its plants and animals. They tried to save themselves, but the Christians were Borg-like, and resistance proved futile.
The victor, as always, wrote the history. Faithists were characterized as failed Christians, as scum whose extermination was for the best. All that most people think they know about Wenches and their Faithists, and their way of life, is false — merely the remnants of Christian propaganda. Today there are still too few Wenches/Faithists. There are part-time Faithists and other sympathizers who oppose pseudo-faith, but as yet no fully developed Faith culture to challenge, if only by example, the depravities of the default culture. Should a culture of the free, the curious, and the critical re-emerge, may the efforts to crush it be foiled.
I have lost nothing by being doxasticly open. I was an asexual (as a child but I grew out of it). I was an afaithist (but I grew out of it). Now I know the magisterium of Faith before whom that of Sex is a pale prelude. I can but feel compassion for afaithists so dogmatically immured in unbelief. My capacity for critical thinking has been restored. Peter Boghossian says, "I want the complete and total eradication of the faith virus." Does this sound like doxastic openness? I now beg to differ and pity the poor afaithist.

First thing that comes to my mind this month...You. Are. Hilarious. You keep me and your Daddy laughing constantly! I am just in love with your outgoing personality you have inherited. You are so amazing! And busy! My days with you (which is everyday), absolutely fly by because I am literally chasing you around the house ALL day. But, I would not have it any other way. Yes, I am completely exhausted at the end of the day and when my head finally hits the pillow - or I get to work that night - I usually realize that I have not accomplished even one tiny bit of housework. But that's okay because your Mommy and Daddy are so thankful to have a very happy and healthy child to chase around all day! You are SO smart and learning at such a fast pace. You soak in so much each and every day. It is nothing less than incredible to watch you grow and learn daily.
This month you started babbling and talking! Your first word was...wait for it...Momma!!! YAY!!! So, you can say "mama" and "dada" and lots of other babbles : ) I'm not sure what you go on-and-on about, but I'm sure you do. You are also quite the little sassy lady when you want to be. I love that you have a strong personality, but that might not be so cute in a few years, ha! That's okay though, I look forward to every day with you. You are so precious and the light of our lives. We love you baby girl!
8 Month Stats
Weight: 19 pounds
Length: 27 inches
Clothes size: Still a few 3-6 months, 6 months, and 6-9 months (depends on style and brand)
Diaper size: 3
Daily Routine: You are still waking up around 7 A.M. You nurse right after waking up, then play and lay around in bed with Mommy and Daddy for about an hour. You usually share Mommy's breakfast with her, then lay day for your morning nap around 9-9:30. After waking from your morning nap, you nurse again then we either play or run errands, depending on what day it is. After a small snack/lunch you go down for your second nap around 2:00 P.M. After your afternoon nap, we are just usually hanging around the house, cleaning and cooking dinner. You are starting to stay up a little later now, until about 6:30-7:00 P.M. But when your ready for night-night, you are READY!
Feeding: You still nurse about 4 times a day. However, these nursing sessions have become significantly shorter. Especially, the couple of times in the middle of the day. I'm thinking that is a combination of you eating more solids and being too busy to sit still long enough to nurse. Probably more of the latter, ha! You have eaten SO many different foods! You are not picky at all! And I am SO thankful for that! You eat a lot of whatever Mommy and Daddy eats as long as its not too spicy or something you can't "gum" easily. Some new foods you have tried this month are blueberries, oranges and greek yogurt. You LOVE greek yogurt!!!
Sleep: Still sleeping like an angel, around 12 hours a night! Thank you!!!
Hair Color: Light brown
Eye color: Light brown
Milestones: You are "cruising" around now! After you started standing last month, it didn't take you long to figure out how to move along things while holding on. You are so strong! It wouldn't surprise me if I was posting that you are walking in the next couple of months! Also, you LOVE to crawl under things. You are so funny. You are always crawling under your exersaucer, the table, end tables, whatever you feel the need to get under.
Your favorite toy: This is so funny to me, but hands down it would be rubber duckies. Yes, as in bath toys! Ha! You are obsessed them! I swear we must have at least 10 floating around here! We have everything from the original yellow "rubber ducky" to a pink princess "rubber ducky" and everything in between. If you see one at the store, you must have it. I need to round them all up and get a picture of them all. You also LOVE drawers! You will play in your drawers in your room (or any drawers...) forever going through everything and dragging it all out. For lack of a better space, I stored some puzzles, DVDs and other toys from Christmas in your bottom drawer a while back. Well, you discovered that drawer full of surprises a couple of weeks ago and you get SO excited to pull it open and get all your goodies out! You are too cute : )

ALMOST DAILY, Omar (Adam Bakri) climbs a rope over a 25-foot-tall separation wall, sometimes dodging bullets. What he does on the other side at first seems uncontroversial: He has coffee with his friends and girlfriend. Back on his side, he works as a baker, and plays with the family kitten when he goes to his mom's house for dinner. In other words, he's a normal, decent guy. But sometimes after coffee, he and childhood friends Tarek (Eyad Hourani) and Amjad (Samer Bisharat) practice shooting and other combat maneuvers, training themselves to join the Palestinian resistance against the Israeli occupation.
Omar, by Palestinian director Hany Abu-Assad, addresses the ongoing West Bank conflict by way of the titular protagonist's perspective—despite its politically charged material, the film is almost completely free of rhetoric, allowing Omar's motives to play out as the simple, relatable, cumulative function of everyday frustrations. On one unlucky day after coming back over the wall, for instance, a small contingent of soldiers stops Omar and makes him balance on an unsteady rock with his hands over his head while they chat and smoke cigarettes, inciting him to rage. At the same time, his desire to marry Nadja (Leem Lubany) is no doubt intertwined with his inclination to participate in the violence. Tarek, the most radicalized and well connected among the three young men, is, after all, Nadja's older brother.
Perhaps Omar's best strength is this seamless, equal concentration between the personal and political: both are immediate to the story, and both are complicated. Once Omar is arrested following the trio's first real action—the highly questionable assassination of a random Israeli soldier—he's at the mercy of the occupying forces. Like so many before him, he's confronted with having to choose between an imprisoned life of torture, interrogations, and solitary confinement, or trading information that betrays his people, his cause, and his friends. His handler, Agent Rami (a brilliant Waleed Zuaiter), seems to have information on all of them, even alluding that he knows secrets about Nadja, and he could and would use them to destroy her.
With its protagonist back on the streets, Omar becomes a tense, paranoid thriller in which everything and everyone is suspect. Omar knows he's being watched by both the secret police and the Palestinian fighters who are now suspicious of his release from jail, and he's forced to go to great lengths to keep in balance the delicate trusts he has with Tarek, Nadja, and now Rami. When the suspicions bleed into the personal, tragedy, betrayal, and misunderstanding reach Shakespearean proportions, a comparison underscored by the dramatic and ever-looming separation wall.
Abu-Assad has said that his films take place in Palestine simply because that's the context in which he lives; that he ultimately wants the human experiences within them to outlast and transcend the conflict that defines their settings. But it's easy to imagine that without the wall and its soldiers, Omar and Nadja would have contented, unremarkable lives. Omar is sympathetic, and on a personal level, his fate elicits audience investment—it does transcend the political—but however modest Abu-Assad may be in his intentions as an activist, his film's increasing reach brings to life the impact of West Bank policy and the destabilizing power of simple separation.

*By Joan Thatiah
Catherine Miano, 24, is the founder Pitch a Dream, an organization that nurtures a reading culture among pupils from less-privileged backgrounds.
"I am a lawyer by training. I grew up wanting to make a difference in the lives of other young people, perhaps because I grew up in Samburu where I saw firsthand the struggles of the less fortunate. I have always been a book lover so I opted to use books to make a difference."
"Pitch a Dream began as a Facebook event four years ago. Back then, I was a university student with a burning passion, but no concrete plan of what I wanted to do. For the first event, I got together with a group of friends and visited a children's home to donate books. Now, our cause is much bigger. We also built structures around it."
"I live out of town so I am up by 5am every morning to beat the Nairobi traffic that ushers in the days. My workday begins at 7am. What Pitch a Dream does today is pick out needy schools in rural and semi-urban areas, then from those schools, a group of pupils is picked to enroll in a one-year program during which they are given books and mentored. The initial goal is to get children to take to the culture of reading. The overall goal though, is to get children to learn better. That is why the pupils on the program get storybooks on the first half of the program and educational reading material during the second half."
"My schedule varies every day. Most days though, I meet potential sponsors or partners or talk people into volunteering for the program. On some days, I go round the three counties where we currently have a presence, looking for more schools to bring on board. First, we talk to headteachers to see if they are interested in the program. The program can only be a success if the school's teaching staff and parents embrace it. Second, I gauge the needs of the schools. Sometimes, I find that the pupils have much bigger needs than books. Recently, I visited a school where most of the girls could not afford sanitary towels. How can a child read comfortably if she does not have pads? What I do in such instances is head out in search of organizations that can partner with me to meet these children's other needs."
"My ultimate dream is to reach out to as many of these children as possible. My workday ends at 4pm. When I am not working, I sing. When I had more time on my hands, I was part of a band called Lele Ngoma. Now I sing whenever I get a chance. And I am still a book lover so I read a lot. I am currently reading The Spook's Curse by Joseph Delaney. It is a good light read."

I am currently starting a series of graphic novels that are based on a science fiction trilogy screenplay I am working on concurrently.
However, I want to get the graphic novels out onto the market, before I begin production of the film trilogy. I am considering self publishing and have done a lot of homework and research in that regard.
Anyone have any advice for me in this arena?
How long is your graphic novel? If you've done a lot of research, this might not be much help. It may not be advice so much as a heads up. Hobby Lobby sells kits of comic book blanks. They can be great for practicing. Unless you have the means to publish them, I would draw up the originals by hand, copy them, staple them together and hand the first hundred or so out to local comic shops and libraries. I live in a town that is very conducive to this sort of thing.
Other than that, you could always write Neil Gaiman or Joe Sacco.
At some point, when I have several other projects out of the way, I want to create a graphic novel focusing on Julius Caesar's wars. Best of luck to you. Let me know when you get these situated. I'd love to read them, and also know a couple comic shop owners and coffee joints that might be able to help spread your story around.
Well it all depends on how good is your art?if you have a series of finished scripts and are ready to turn those scripts into art work a comic book slash graphic novel I would suggest going through IMAGE comics.Image is always on the look out for new creaters,and you will still own the rights to all your characters,and stories,but you have to be good,no,you have to be one of the best,you will be responsible for everything,artwork,colors,lettering,inking,you have to be able to pretty much create the entire book,or find a team to assist you,which,you will have to discuss payment with them,once everything is finished,Image will push your book worldwide,all the comic shops,but you have to be good,damn good.I wish you luck,I'm working on a couple things myself,good luck to you.
Bill's right about Image. They've put out some incredible titles. The Walking Dead is my personal favorite.
Talk to fellow hubber Waynet. He is working on a graphic novel and is very knowledgeable. I am certain he can be helpful to you.

Jeans: ZARA £19.99
Sunglasses: eBay £3
Hi-Top Converse: £60
Hey guys!!
Hows everyone's week going?
I mentioned in my one of my recent outfit post how I went a little buzzerk online on Boohoo with their recent sale sale they had on, this is another one of the shirts I grabbed for just a tenner! I absolutely love it! The material is like a light weight linen so it's perfect for the sunny spells we've been having recently in London. I wore it out to my trip to Camden on Monday and it was scorching hot, but I felt super nice and airy in the shirt because its so light. The contrasting stripes really give an effortless look in a way, and I always love that!
The Celine flat top sunglasses are literally everywhere! I've been drooling over them for so long but there was no way I was going to put a heafty hole in my pocket for a pair of sunglasses with the weather we have in the UK. So I grabbed these dupes from eBay for a tiny £3!! I feel so proud of myself for finding them haha! The quality is really good and they look identical, i was also surprised how fast they came considering they where from China, they arrived in two weeks which was just in time for the recent heatwave :P

Lessons from Joseph
The Old Testament lesson for this Friday in the second week of Lent is found in the book of Genesis and may be very familiar to many of you. It's the beginning of the story of Joseph, his father and his brothers and tells how Joseph ends up in a pit because of jealousy, insecurity and hatred.
The scripture reads, "Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he had made him a long robe with sleeves. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him." (Genesis 37:3-4). Therefore, when Israel sends Joseph to find his brothers, as he approaches they plot to kill him. "They saw him from a distance, and before he came near to them, they conspired to kill him. They said to one another, "Here comes this dreamer. Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; then we shall say that a wild animal has devoured him, and we shall see what will become of his dreams." Now, while this scripture seems ominous, there is a plan for Joseph. Although Joseph's new adventure began from a pit, it is not the end; his life is saved, when the brothers sell him for twenty pieces of silver to traders on their way to Egypt.
I have always loved Joseph's story. Someone once wrote, "The secret of life is not where you begin but where you finish." Sometimes that means that you "keep on keeping on" even when it would be so much easier to simply throw up your hands in futility and despair. That means that you "hang in there" and "see it through" when a person of lesser determination, lesser courage, lesser character would "cut his or her losses" and seek to escape.
I have always loved this story because of the lessons one may learn. There have been days when I have been too weary to "hang in there" or "keep on keeping on" – either because of what was happening around me or because of something someone said or did to hurt my feelings. However, almost always, something happened that reminded of Joseph, and his movement from the pit to the palace. I'm reminded that even when I am unable to "see it through" that God is at my center and goes before me to clear my path. It is then up to me to choose to accept Her invitation to follow that path. With the unsteadiness of the world around us and the changes within our community, this Lent is far different from any that I've experienced. I suspect that it is the same for many of us. Therefore, I want to encourage you to be open to the invitation of allowing God to go before you to clear your path and then to accept the invitation to follow.
Lastly, Happy St. Patrick's Day!
