"Malaysian Borneo is such an exciting place to travel, with its fascinating mix of both modern and ancient."
"Travelling away from the bustling cities within Sabah and Sarawak we made our way into pristine wilderness and were introduced to friendly traditional communities. We had close encounters with the country's incredible flora and fauna - in Sabah we cruised down Jungle Rivers, viewing proboscis monkeys, orangutan and other exotic wildlife including the elusive Borneo elephant ! We also spent a memorable evening on Turtle Island where we came into contact with the giant green turtle, part of a conscientious program supported by the Sabah government. In Sarawak we explored the caves of Mulu National Park, which boasts Asia's longest underground river. One of these caves is host to millions of bats, which make a spectacular evening exodus in search of food.
Travelling through Borneo can sometimes be very challenging and physically demanding but the rewards are great. And as with most places that I have been to with the Imaginative Traveller, the people you meet are a constant delight!"
Dee Major, Travel Consultant – The Imaginative Traveller
Capital: Kuala Lumpur
Official Language: Bahasa Malaysia, English, Chinese dialects, Tamil, indigenous dialects
Religions: 52% Muslim, 17% Buddhist, 12% Taoist, 8% Christian, 8% Hindu, 2% tribal
Voltage: Supply is 220-240V, 50 cycles. Power plugs are mostly three square pin types.
On entry you are required to have a passport valid for six months. When you arrive in West Malaysia and/or Sabah, a 60-day Tourist Visa will be issued for British, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, American, Belgian, Swedish, German, Dutch and Danish. Entry into Sarawak will mean a further entry stamp valid for 30 days. This is not an additional 30 days but is within the confines of the initial period of stay allocated at the first point of entry. For other nationalities, please refer to your local embassy.
When you fly into Sabah or Sarawak you will need to show your passport to immigration. Although Sabah and Sarawak are states of Malaysia you will be issued with another 30-day visa into both states. You need six months validity on your passport only.
The currency used in Malaysia is the Malaysian Ringgit. It is an easy currency to use with simple notes and coins. It is easy to access money in Borneo either by using £ or US$ traveller's cheques or cash. Credit cards are quite useful for cash advances from banks or ATMs in the big towns.
The Imaginative Traveller Recommends: We strongly suggest using a money belt/neck wallet under your clothing for additional security.
Approximate exchange rates (as at May 06) are as follows:
The Pre-Departure Booklet that you will receive once you have booked your tour contains general information about organising your spending money. Your Tour Leader will be able to advise you on local facilities.
XE.com is a useful site for currency conversion.
The Pre-Departure Booklet contains general information about the things you will need to consider when budgeting for your holiday. Below are some specific notes relevant to our tours in Borneo.
Although Traveller trips include entrance fees to all sites specified in your itinerary there are additional ancient sites that you may like to visit. Entrance fees are generally cheap.
You will find the meal plan for your tour clearly indicated in the brochure and on your Trip Dossier.
Borneo offers a great array of foods for you to try. Most of the food available in Borneo is of Chinese influence. We like to eat in the night markets and these are great places to not only try the local cuisine but also to meet the locals. Some of the food available is quite spicy but many restaurants cater for those who like less chilli in their food. Hygiene levels are usually quite high in locally run food stalls and restaurants. If in doubt, order a meal that is freshly cooked and hot.
Experimenting is the way to go. Don't be too afraid of what to eat and what not to eat. Your group leader will generally suggest or take you to places she or he has been to before. At food stalls have a good look at the food and if it doesn't look appealing to you - don't eat it, but try to be tactful to the stall owner! In our experience it seems that Western food takes longer to prepare, doesn't match up to our expectations and may not be cooked well enough. Some of the fruits you may like to sample are the rambutan (like lychee), fresh coconut, pineapple, banana, papaya, mango, jack fruit, guava, salak (snake skin fruit), or the smelly but very popular durian. All of these fruits are seasonal.
Approximate costs for meals and snacks not included are shown below:
For a guide to the type of food you will find in Borneo see the Local Food & Drink section of this dossier.
If you're a vegetarian you should learn how to say "tanpa daging" (no meat), when ordering. It's not uncommon that "vegetarian" dishes still contain small amounts of meat. Vegetarianism is a concept few Malaysians can comprehend.
Food Allergies
If you have food allergies or preferences, please make them known to your Tour Leader who will do their best to ensure that your requirements are met.
Please note: Unfortunately we can give no guarantee that special requirements can always be met.
These vary in price according to what you drink. Soft drinks are safe and generally cheaper than at home. Bottled drinking water is widely available and we definitely do not suggest drinking tap water. The Malaysian government makes ice for public use. This ice is always clean but the transportation of the ice may not be highly hygienic (ie a huge block on the back of a motorbike!). Most western style restaurants make their own ice from mineral water, so is safe. Beer is not particularly expensive, but is certainly not cheap. Tiger beer is the local brew, but there are other varieties available.
The Pre-Departure Information that you will receive once you have booked your tour contains a comprehensive list of items that you should consider bringing with you. There are certain items of equipment (e.g. sleeping bags, towels) that you will need on some tours and not on others. Check your Trip Dossier for any special requirements.
As a general guideline, clothing should be lightweight, loose fitting, hard-wearing and easily washed. In Borneo with it's year round tropical heat, cotton clothing is much more comfortable than man-made materials like nylon.
The Imaginative Traveller Recommends: A sarong is an invaluable item to carry as it can be used to instantly cover any exposed areas (i.e. head, legs). It also doesn't go amiss to bring along a set of smart/casual clothes for the occasional night out.
In certain areas and religious sites your Tour Leader may ask you to dress conservatively. Out of respect for local values, we ask that you follow your Tour Leader's advice at all times.
Prepare Yourself
Whilst few of our tours can be described as physically demanding you will find all activities more enjoyable if you are reasonably fit and active.
Climbing Mount Kinabalu
A few travellers' tips for climbing the mountain:
There are a number of different indigenous groups of people in Borneo. In Sarawak, the largest group is the Iban people who live in longhouses on the banks of rivers. The majority of these people are animist or Christian. There are also Kenyah and Bidayuh people who each have their own language and belief system.
In Sabah, the largest group is the Dusun or Kadazan people. Within this group there are at least 10 distinct languages with a possible 30 or more dialects. The Dusun are traditionally farmers who occupy the fertile plains of the West Coast and the interior. The majority of these people are Christian.
Two other distinct groups are the Murut and Bajau. The second largest group in numbers is the Chinese. While the Chinese have been trading in Borneo for over 1000 years, mass migration started in the 1880s after the formation of the British North Borneo Chartered Company. You will meet many Chinese in the cities of Borneo running businesses. There are also Malays, who tend to work in both the public sector and on small farms. These people are Muslim, which is the national religion.
All over Borneo respectable dress is required. In the Muslim areas women should not wear sleeveless shirts or brief shorts. A sleeved shirt and pants are the most appropriate. Men are also seen as more respectable in shirts and long pants. In the areas that we visit that are Christian, there are also modest dress standards. Please do not wear brief clothing in small villages as it offends the local people. Often the best way to decide is to look at what the majority of local people are wearing or discuss this with your group leader.
We ask all our travellers to pay attention to the local customs. Your group leader will brief you on particular customs for each area you visit. It is particularly inappropriate to express anger by raised voices. If you are frustrated, discuss issues in a quiet and controlled way with the people concerned. Physical contact between people of the opposite sex is frowned upon, while touching those of the same sex is seen as quite appropriate. You should not give or receive things with your left hand. Use your right hand to be safe. Do not touch any people in Borneo on the head. While these are just a few rules that should be followed, your group leader will be your best source of information about what is appropriate behaviour. Remember that the experiences you have will be different to normal and the people you meet will have different beliefs to you. Our beliefs are in no way superior, just simply different. The discovery of these differences, which at times can be stressful or funny, is surely one of the great joys of travel.
Begging is a way of life in the much of South East Asia. Ultimately donations are a travellers personal choice, however in line with initiatives and government policy in many of our destinations, our recommendation is NOT to give money, pens, gifts or sweets as this encourages a begging mentality and is largely ineffectual. If you do want to help it is probably better to give to a recognized charity. If you choose not to give simply say no with a smile and keep on walking. If you learn nothing else of the local language, learn to say 'no thank you'!
Haggling is a way of life in Borneo. In the shops there is no fixed price so the shop keeper will start with a high price which you are then expected to haggle down until you reach a fair price. Haggling should always be relaxed and can be a lot of fun – you will find most shop owners are very friendly and will probably invite you in for a cup of tea to break the ice before the haggling starts!
We do not provide complimentary arrival transfers from this airport. However, if you would prefer a transfer we can arrange either of the following (please see the 'Extra Services' section of our brochure for current prices).
The Meeting Point for your tour should be clearly marked on your travel vouchers. A complete list of all meeting point hotels can also be found at www.imaginative-traveller.com/ downloads.
At Kota Kinabalu Airport, you should take a taxi directly to the hotel. This should cost approx. US$8-10 and will take about 15-20 minutes.
Most people find that Borneo is a very friendly and hospitable country and feel quite comfortable wandering around alone during the day. However, as with any country you are not familiar with, it is recommended that you exercise more caution at night and generally take taxis rather than walk. Negotiate a price beforehand.
Your Tour Leader's role is to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. He/she will share their local knowledge, advise on how to fill your free time and co-ordinate the day to day running of the tour – although occasionally he/she may need your understanding if things do not go according to plan. If you have any problems on the tour, please let your Tour Leader know so that steps can be taken to put it right. Tour Leaders are supported by our regionally based office staff and, in most cases, a locally based manager.
Please note that some styles of trip, such as Imaginative Escapes or Imaginative Honeymoons, do not have a Tour Leader. However, there will be representatives on hand who will be able to assist you in arranging any excursions that you wish you take.
Our main criterion for choosing hotels is cleanliness. On Adventurer tours hotels are simple, but comfortable. Bathroom facilities may sometimes be shared and rooms may sometimes be multi share rather than twin. Hotels on Traveller tours almost always have private bathrooms, air conditioning and bar / restaurant facilities. The exceptions in Borneo are the hotels at Mt Kinabalu which are multi share and very simple. Please bear in mind that hotels can sometimes suffer from minor problems and technical difficulties.
At each hotel your Tour Leader will try to organise the rooming arrangements to suit everyone's requirements. If you are travelling alone you will be allocated a room with another group member of the same sex (unless you have paid a single supplement). If you are travelling as a couple please note that we cannot guarantee the availability of double beds.
Note: Single supplements are only applicable to single travellers who wish to have their own room. Single supplements are also only available on Traveller tours and are not applicable on overnight boats, trains and while camping.
Communication in Malaysian Borneo is quite easy to access. Our guesthouses in the bigger towns have faxes and telephones although we would recommend you use the public phones located on most main streets and shopping centres, many of which have international direct facilities. International phone cards can be used in most coin phones. Faxing is easy and quite reliable.
Internet cafes are available in the big cities of Kota Kinabalu and Miri and are a reliable and cheap mode of communication. Ask your leader to assist with locating internet access.
Slide film is sometimes hard to find, and when you do find it, it is often stored in the bright sunshine or has expired. If you use a special or "professional" brand of film you would need to bring this from home.
If you have a digital camera you should ensure that you bring an adequate supply of memory cards to cover the entire trip. While you may find an internet café which will burn your memory card to CD, PCs may be infected with viruses or lack the adequate software. Similarly, camera batteries are hard to find. The best bet is to bring two sets of rechargables and your own charger (with international adapter).
Borneo has a typical tropical climate - generally hot and humid throughout the year. Temperatures stay in the high 20s most of the year dropping back to the low 20s at night. As in most tropical areas the rain falls in short heavy bursts with sunshine following. In theory, the wet season runs from November through to February, but in reality we find little difference in the seasons. It is very rare indeed that our itineraries are affected. Sabah is famed for being below the monsoon belt and is known as the "Land below the wind".

Rotary Seeking Young People for Trip to Japan
- Organization: Rotary Club of the Caldwells
- Causes: Educational
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Website: rrstye.rotarydistrict7470.org
Rotary clubs in our area are joining together in a search for young adults to represent the region in a cultural exchange with Japan.
The Ross Redmond Short Term Youth Exchange Program, now in its 34th year, offers students ages 16 to 20 the opportunity to experience life in another country.
This three week trip tentatively departing on June 27, 2013 and returning on July 18, 2013, is designed for students who want to learn about Japanese culture, interact with Japanese students and form friendships that will last a lifetime. Our group of 28 students and 2 leaders will be met in Osaka by Japanese Rotarians who will be our hosts during our stay.
The group will visit major cities in southern Japan including Osaka, Kyoto and Nara. There will also be a separate trip to Hiroshima to visit Peace Memorial Park and Museum. The group will primarily stay on the island of Shikoku, the smallest of the four main islands in Japan. Each young person will meet and live with four different host families in each of the island's four prefectures. This trip provides an extraordinary insider's view of Japan since we are hosted by local Japanese people and stay in Japanese homes. This type of trip cannot be duplicated as a tourist.
The cost of the trip is $2,950 all inclusive, including airfare. Students are selected through an interview process that occurs during February and March. Applications are now being accepted. Interviews are scheduled based upon the order the applications are received. There is a $500 deposit required at the time of interview/acceptance into the program and final payment must be made by April 1, 2013, the date for purchase of the group airline tickets.
Interested parties should contact their local Rotary Club, or Ross Redmond Short Term Youth Exchange Program chairman, Jim Allison at firstname.lastname@example.com or 201-213-6382.

Acting as an example of the kindness that has resulted from a request for donations from Main Street Pauls Valley, local resident Holley Sanders is seen here helping carry supplies along with Paramedic John Stegall to her truck earlier this morning. EMS through Pauls Valley General Hospital is another local organization that has helped gather items and take it to the Main Street Office at the corner of Paul and Walnut Streets. "Two friends of mine lost their homes and I felt for them," said Sanders, who is among those who have offered to take items to a drop off site in Norman. "I wanted to do something." More information will be included in stories and photos in Thursday's edition of the PV Democrat. A list of needed items can be found here: http://mainstreetpaulsvalley.com/

Max Lucado, bestselling author and minister
Jonis remarkable life and ministry have been a source of huge inspiration to me. Ive worked very closely with Joni, and I can tell you her heart beats as Gods does. All of us can learn from her. I recommend this powerful and inspiring book.
When I think of what Joni has endured, and then I hear her talk about loving Jesus more, I want to stop and listen to everything she has to say.
Publisher SummaryIts not what I lost. Its what Ive found. I was only seventeen, just a girl, when God asked me for everything I had...my health, my hopes, my independence, my dreams, my freedom, and my mobility. He took it all. I was so angry with Him that I tried to push Him away. God relentlessly held me more closely. Looking back, forty years later, I understand that God has changed and healed memy heart and my mindin the most unexpected ways, giving me rubies of His wisdom about an unbending faith and an experience of His mercy I can now tell you about. Was it a fair exchange, my freedom and no wheelchair for the rubies of wisdom Ive been given? Absolutely. In this I have learned at the feet of the Lord Jesus, embracing the way that God heals us, even when we rage at Him in anger, fear, and despair. This book is not about what I lost in that diving accident so long ago. Its about the wisdom Hes given me to live life victoriously in the face of disappointments and challenges that we all face.
Publisher's WeeklyWhen a diving accident in 1967 paralyzed her from the neck down, Tada, then a teenager, questioned God and life itself. Decades later, the author and founder of Joni and Friends ministry for the disabled writes from her wheelchair that there are more important things in life than walking. In her latest book, Tada jumps back in time to reveal her thoughts as a young quadriplegic, then pleads with her teenage self and the reader to be patient and hopeful. In each chapter, Tada offers a ruby of her own hard-won wisdom (e.g., God may not always provide healing; courage in the midst of suffering is a testament to Gods love; God gives grace in tough times) and encourages readers to dialogue with God to understand the purpose for hardships. Tada then supports this argument about suffering with Scripture, folding some verses into the chapters and compiling others into three appendices. Those who are ill, struggling or hopeless may be comforted by her testimony and perhaps roused to pray and perform good deeds while awaiting relief in whatever form it may take. (Mar.)

I have bought this Philips HL1659 Food Processor and have been using it for a couple of months now.
Very good food processor compared with other brands available for the similar price or more.
-Auto mode. Excellent feature!
- The Lid holder is works very well, need not attend the grinding job and leave the auto mode on without worrying about the lid flying off.
-Non-slip Feet again is a good feature.
-Excellent build quality. Very good quality of plastic and steel used.
-Blades are very sharp and do the job quickly.
-Very effecient (making chutny used to take more than 5 mins in my previous food processor which was more expensive then this. This one takes around 2 minutes to complete the task.
- Takes heavy load (good for grinding rice for making dosa, idly etc)
- Vegetable slicing for salads works like a dream!
- The Juicer is just name sake- makes pathetic juice.
- Not very straightforward to use when you use it for the first time. Once you have used it and known its functionality its simple.
Hello All,
I am a little ambiguous about the title of my review as I have just purchased the product for my family who lives in another city - so any feedback about the product that I have - are second-hand. Nevertheless, there are a couple of things that I can list down which may be helpful for anyone who may be planning to buy this.
1. Make sure that you purchase this product from a reputed seller like Flipkart - you will be assured to get an original product that has been properly packaged and delivered to your doorstep in mint condition.
2. Call up Philips for a demo of the product before you begin use because this product is a bit complex than regular food processors in the market. It has features that you may find intimidating at first - but don't worry. Once you get used to it, it won't be a bother. You may find it a bit difficult to get in touch with Philips as their telephone numbers are a bit difficult to get through (at least the ones that I tried) but unfortunately, Flipkart was of no help to me in this regard. You are on your own on this one buddy!!
3. Philips has provided some excellent quality attachments with this product - the plastic is heavy and the jars are big and strong. No small quantities here. The blades are VERY sharp - please be extremely careful while handling them. There is tool provided separately, for handling the blades and you should use that. The demo guy that visited us tried to get cute with one of the blades using his bare hands and got injured (nothing serious, thankfully).
4. The motor is powerful and is certainly not "Super Silent". Maybe they forgot to attach the muffler :-). However, the advantage of having such a powerful motor is that it gets your work done in seconds instead of minutes.
5. The manual that comes with the product is of no particular help except that it can tell you the exact number of parts that you can expect to find in the box. When one pays such an amount of dough for a product, the least that Philips could have done is provide a detailed manual with a demonstration of each and every feature and accessory that comes with an elaborate machine of this kind. Very poor thinking on Philip's part...
6. A special mention should be made of the innovative way this food processor deals with making juices (fruits and vegetables). There is no elaborate machinery - just a jar with a filter inside. Depending on how you are used to making juices, you will find it either completely useless or a joy to work with.
Since this is an absolutely new purchase for me, I will be able to comment on its durability and service only after at least six months' time. However, I would certainly like to emphasize that this food processor is meant for heavy duty work and takes food processing methods to another level.
If you have a very small family or very limited food processing needs, please consider something else. This is the "Big Gun".
4/5 to flipkart for prompt delivery of the product.
coming to philips...
i am totally disappointed by the philips product.. the machine motor is excellent, the processor functions smooth and easy...but the plastic of blender jar and food processor bowl are low grade and fragile...
the blender jar in my pack came out to broken already (flipkart promised me a replacement, which I am hopeful they will keep)
and watching the immense crack of blender, its just a matter of time the processor bowl also breaks...have to wash it myself carefully not to hit any surface...
i's suggest you go for inalsa which is offering unbreakable jars in the processor...its too late for me after spending so much amount
other than plastic quality, the processor seems nice, robotic arm seems useful, except while blendind in small jar....it spills on other side... still waiting for the blender jar replacement..
I had bought this food processor a couple of weeks back.
It's good. its Promos says main advantage said is it makes low noise. But makes a big noise.
Apart from that it is working good.
I have used it just couple of days. So i will write one more review after some time.
Very good and efficient kitchen accessory. Works well as mixie as well as food processor. Attachments provided are perfect for everyday kitchen needs in any Indian home. Bought it 3 years ago and it has worked without a single problem until now (no replacement of any accessory). Good quality materials used in the appliance is evident...

Antenatal Corticosteroids for Fetal Lung Development
How Well It Works
There is strong evidence that a single course of corticosteroid medicine given to the mother during premature labor improves the outcome for the infant born between 24 and 34 weeks' gestation.Reference 1
Betamethasone or dexamethasone is most effective if delivery occurs at least 24 hours after the first dose of the medicine has been given and less than 7 days after the last dose of the medicine.
Either medicine will benefit a premature newborn by lowering the risk of:
- Breathing problems (Reference respiratory distress syndrome Opens New Window) after birth.
- Bleeding in the brain (intraventricular hemorrhage).
- Intestinal infection (Reference necrotizing enterocolitis Opens New Window).
- Death.

Bolt was the most talked about person in the entire world this past weekend. He made history shattering records and became the first man to successfully defend both the 100 and 200 sprint titles, clocking in at astounding times of 9.63 and 19.32 respectively. Bolt then lead his teammates Yohan Blake and Warren Weir to another World Record...this time in the 4 x 100 relay, finishing at an unheard of 36.84 time. Three gold medals twice in a row has never been done. After winning Bolt exclaimed, "number one all day every day," and we have to agree. It's incredible to watch him run, and we are proud to watch and support him as he inspires us all to live our #SOULofGreatness all day every day.
9.63 + 19.32 + 36.84 =100% Greatness.

The Great Debate UK
from The Great Debate:
Sun software is the tail wagging the dog
-- Eric Auchard is a Reuters columnist. The opinions expressed are his own --
When Oracle agreed to buy Sun Microsystems for $7.4 billion in April, the headlines made much of the software maker's decision to enter the computer business 30 years late. At less than 10 per cent of sales, Sun's software business seemed an afterthought.
But Sun's software is now center stage after European competition regulators said on Thursday that they would withhold approval for the deal until they finish probing the impact of the Oracle-Sun merger on the database software market. The decision means the transaction faces at least a four-month delay, pushing it into early next year.
Any delay is costly for Oracle. Sun's sales have plunged as key financial, government and communications customers have held back purchases of computers and storage until Oracle is able to clarify its long-run commitment to Sun hardware and software products.
The commission is debating whether, or under what conditions, to allow Oracle to acquire Sun's MySQL database software. Given that the business brings in only $100 million in quarterly revenue, less than 1/25th of Sun sales, the easy way out would be for Oracle to jettison MySQL. However, that would be a mistake.

Cascading through Hadoop: A DSL for Simpler MapReduce
Hadoop is a MapReduce framework that has literally sprung into the vernacular of "big data" developers everywhere. But coding to the raw Hadoop APIs can be a real chore. Data analysts can express what they want in more English-like vocabularies, but it seems the Hadoop APIs require us to be the translator to a less comprehensible functional and data-centric DSL.
The Cascading framework gives developers a convenient higher level abstraction for querying and scheduling complex jobs on a Hadoop cluster. Programmers can think more holistically about the questions being asked of the data and the flow that such data will take without concern for the minutia.
We'll explore how to set up, code to, and leverage the Cascading API on top of a Hadoop sample or production cluster for a more effective way to code MapReduce applications all while being able to think in a more natural (less than fully MapReduce) way.
During this presentation, we'll also explore Cascading's Clojure-based derivative, Cascalog, and how functional programming paradigms and language syntax are emerging as the next important step in big-data thinking and processing.
Prerequisite: A very basic knowledge of MapReduce and Hadoop

How would you describe the aesthetic of your home? How have you tried to achieve it?
Lauren: "We live in a mid-century home that has been remodeled with modern fixtures and finishes. It's a very clean, bright space — basically a blank slate — and lends itself to simple lines like our Tolix and Eames kitchen chairs.To balance out the simplicity, we've layered earthy pieces like our Stark Moroccan rug, a Balinese carved table, and a distressed wood cabinet. We love the contrast of dramatic art against white walls, so we're thrilled there's lots of light to feature our collection."

Nice Jean if you like low cut
By Callie the Pooch
from Vancouver, BC
I returned these pants as they are low slung on the waist, too bad as they are well made, I like the fabric on G's jeans. Will try again.
nice jean very soft
By SHOPPING QUEEN
from EDMONTON
I like the jean and the chart actually works for fit for your bottom half! I bought the cobalt nice color but not as bright as they look on tv.. a little darker and muted cobalt but very nice fit is awsome and very comfortable. I am just hoping the cobalt multi I ordered has same fit.
Vibrant colours
By Dorothy
from Victoria
Please read review for item #581716. Purchased 2 pair but fit is not as great as Diane Gilman. I wear 8P in DG but this size is too small in G. Would need to go up a size to 10P.
super fun
By Allison
from Edmonton
These are a great style, awesome that they come in petite and they make you feel good when you are wearing them in the middle of winter. They could be a little bit longer in the rise but really nice stretch and they feel good on. I love this line I'm so glad she is on the shopping channel she really has great taste and knows what looks good. Thanks
Comfortable skinny jean great fabric
By JS
from Calgary
The fabrics on this line are terrific. Good quality. I like the stretch in the pants. The colors are true. Will buy this line
Love them
By Tweedy
from ESTEVAN
Will order again from this seller. Good fit and not the run of the mill.

Very comfortable Skinny Jean
By Mary
from Montreal, Quebec
Jean fits well but does stretch quite a bit I would suggest going down a size when ordering. The only negative on these jeans is the zipper, very poor quality needs to be improved.
fits like a glove
The fit is perfect for me anyway. I ordered the cobalt in a size 8 i love them I can tuck them in boots and its great that this line carries petites so i don't have to pay for hemming. The color is very rich looking. I just LOVE THIS LINE OF CLOTHING.
I LOVE THESE PANTS. I ordered a size 8 and they are so comfortable for a skinny pant, usually you have to just stuff yourself in them NOT THIS LINE they just hug in all the right places. Great that she is carrying petite sizes.

Love, love this pant, however....
By ellie
from calgary, AB
Cutest pant ever.....tried pant on upon arrival & was thrilled with perfect fit. Left pant hanging so I could just look at it for a week or so as I thought pant might just be too youthful for me. Finally today I wore them @ home for a bit (on computer, phone, not too active) in order to decide.Liked cobalt-multi color & fit very much...to my dismay pant bagged & stretched (butt & upper thigh areas) A LOT. Will hate to return as I purchased 2 blouses to match. Perhaps the spandex should be higher than 2%. Next time G brings this item I may order a size 6. Really nice fabric. Sadly must return. Re 2 blouses (to match pant) - will rate separately.Love G's line & how items coordinate.

CORRECTING THE RECORD: MCC Responds To Bill Gaither's Attack on Lesbian Musician
A Statement by the Moderator
of Metropolitan Community Churches by The Reverend Nancy L. WilsonOffice of the MCC Moderator CORRECTING THE RECORD: A Response To Bill Gaither's Comments About Openly-Lesbian Christian Songwriter and Musician Marsha Stevens-Pino May 26, 2006 In early May, Gospel Music leader Bill Gaither, whose hymns appear in many church hymnals and whose concerts draw tens of thousands of concertgoers, distributed a public statement about Christian songwriter and musician Marsha Stevens-Pino. Marsha is an open lesbian described as "the mother of contemporary Christian music" by the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music, and a long-time member of Metropolitan Community Churches. Marsha, who has faithfully devoted her life to ministering to lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender (LGBT) persons, has been called "Conservative Christianity's worst nightmare - a Jesus-loving, Bible-believing, God-fearing lesbian Christian," by Christian Century magazine. Gaither's recent press release was intended to diffuse controversy over public statements he made before 15,000 concertgoers in Phoenix, Arizona in 2002. In his press statement, Gaither accuses Marsha Stevens-Pino of "misrepresentation" and describes Marsha's life as a "sad story." I am taking the extraordinary step of issuing a public statement on this matter, and am doing so for two reasons: First, many hurtful and false things are often said about gay and lesbian people of faith. And most often, we let them go. But there are some things we ought not to let go. Because Bill Gaither's statement publicly attacks a lesbian of deep integrity and spiritual faith, I must correct the misleading impressions in his statement. Second, there may be many young LGBT youth, as well as straight youth, who look up to Bill Gaither and who will believe what he says about Marsha Stevens, in particular, or about LGBT people, in general. They may be struggling with issues around spirituality and sexuality. They need to hear from us and they deserve to know the truth. Some background information may be helpful. The following facts are not in dispute: Marsha attended a Gaither concert in Phoenix, Arizona on New Year's Eve of 2002. She and her partner were invited backstage to meet Bill Gaither prior to the concert, and a photo was taken. During the concert, Gaither publicly recognized Marsha from the stage and referenced a song, "For Those Tears I Died," that Marsha had written. He sang Marsha's song from the stage during the concert and the 15,000 concertgoers who were present sang along as Marsha's song was the concert's final song, and as 2002 turned into 2003. Here's what is in dispute: During his public comments before 15,000 people, Gaither, a conservative Christian, made statements that many interpreted as supportive and affirming of gay and lesbian people of faith. Those comments sparked a controversy among conservative, fundamentalist, and evangelical Christians. Gaither now claims that his comments were not directed to Marsha as an openly lesbian Christian -- but rather, were general comments made to his audience and which have been taken out of context. Regrettably, in his current efforts to distance himself from his own public statements, Gaither's press response contains what I believe to be four specific misleading or erroneous statements. As Christians, we stand by the teachings of Jesus, who taught in Matthew 18:15, "If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell that person, and work it out between the two of you. If that person listens, you've made a friend." Marsha has written directly to Bill Gaither and asked for such a meeting in accordance with biblical guidelines. It is our prayer that such a meeting will take place and that this controversy will be resolved amicably between them. Because Marsha has devoted her life and ministry to the LGBT community, and because her ministry has been an outreach of Metropolitan Community Churches for more than 20 years, and because Bill Gaither's statements about Marsha were made publicly, I believe it is appropriate to correct the public record.1. Gaither claims that Marsha "misrepresented and misused" a visit to a Gaither Concert in Phoenix Arizona. This statement is not correct and contains no supporting evidence to back up this claim. A review of the video of the concert very clearly confirms Marsha's version of these events and her representation of what took place at the concert.2. Gaither claims that "someone snapped a photograph of the four of us, a picture Marsha has exploited on her Web site ever since." This statement is misleading; at the very least it leaves the impression that a photograph was unwittingly made of their meeting. Even a cursory look at the photograph clearly shows that Gaither, a well-known public figure, posed for the photo. Make up your own mind by viewing the photo on-line at http://www.mccchurch.org/mediaroom/2...rlowry2002.jpg. 3. Gaither's recollection of the event leaves out a crucial fact: His press statement makes it appear that he addressed general comments about God's acceptance to the audience. In fact, he clearly addressed his comments directly to Marsha. Gaither's press statement describes his public comments from the concert stage this way: "Gloria and I were celebrating our 40th anniversary that night and we sang a number of songs that had been special to us over the years, including, "For Those Tears I Died." I mentioned, from the platform, that the woman who wrote that song "is here tonight." I then said that I love that song because someone "may have seen a grownup with a Jesus that maybe is pushing you away, that wouldn't let you in. And you were never good enough. The only Christ I know is the Christ in that song, with His arms out very wide, saying, 'come to the water.' That's the only Christ I know-- come as you are." However, the statement is misleading. A review of a video of the concert clearly shows that Gaither actually addressed his remarks, not to "someone" -- but directly to Marsha by saying: "But we sang a song by a young lady who's here tonight, Marsha Stevens…and Marsha, we have sung that song all over the country and I love it because you may have seen and grown up with a Jesus that maybe was pushing you away, that wouldn't let you in, and you were never good enough. The only Christ I know is the Christ in that song, with his arms out very wide, saying, 'come to the water.' That's the only Christ I know. Come as you are." [At this point the audience breaks into strong applause.] This is really the heart of the controversy: His actual statement was made directly to Marsha and spoke of how Jesus Christ loves and accepts Marsha, who is an open lesbian -- his recent press statement makes it appear that he spoke a general message to the entire audience.4. Gaither's press statement, speaking of Marsha Stevens-Pino, claims, "Her story is a sad one." Nothing could be further from the truth. I have known Marsha for more than 20 years. Hers is a vibrant life that overflows with God's love and God's blessing. Marsha's life continues to be a remarkable testimony to God's unconditional love for all people, including lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender persons. Her life, her music, and her ministry have brought spiritual faith and hope to untold thousands of LGBT people. There is nothing sad about that -- rather, hers is a joyous story of God's grace and peace. I am mindful of God's words in Acts 10:15, "What God has pronounced clean, do not profane by calling unhallowed or unclean." This is the truth of Marsha's story: At the age of 16, as a member of Children of the Day, one of the earliest contemporary Christian music groups, Marsha wrote, "For Those Tears I Died," a hymn that continues to bless lives and which is sung in churches around the world. After years of prayer and study, Marsha came to know that truth that God had created her as a lesbian and loved her unconditionally in Christ. She found a new place of service and ministry in Metropolitan Community Churches. Marsha served on MCC's Elders' Task Force on Evangelism and, in 1993, went into full-time music ministry to the LGBT community. I have been honored to serve as one of her mentors, along with Rev. Elder Jeri Ann Harvey and Rev. Elder Freda Smith. For many years, Marsha ministered more that 150 times a year in churches around the world. She has recorded her own albums of Gospel music and her BALM (Born Again Lesbian Music) Ministries have produced two CD's of emerging LGBT artists. In 2002, she and her wife, Cindy Stevens-Pino, began upBeat!, the first-ever music ministry training program for LGBT Christian artists. Marsha and Cindy continue to travel and minister God's love in churches and concerts, from 50-75 times each year. In both 2001 and 2005, Marsha was honored with Pioneer Awards in spiritual music from GLAMA (Gay and Lesbian American Music Awards) and from OutMusic. Within Metropolitan Community Churches, she was the first lay recipient of the Purple Grass Award for excellence in evangelism. I am pleased to provide this testimony to Marsha's ministry, and to her integrity and spiritual commitment. In the spirit of understanding, I encourage Bill Gaither to retract misleading statements made about Marsha Stevens-Pino, and further urge that he accept Marsha's invitation to meet in person in accordance with biblical guidelines. /signed/ The Reverend Nancy L. Wilson MCC Moderator __________________________________________________ _____ BELOW IS THE EARLIER PUBLIC STATEMENT ISSUED BY BILL GAITHER: Thursday May 4 2006 - 4:17 PM ET Bill Gaither Issues Statement Regarding Misrepresentation by Bill Gaither ALEXANDRIA, IN (Press Release) - Apparently, a visit by Marsha Stevens to a Gaither Homecoming concert in 2002 is being misrepresented and misused by her and others. Marsha Stevens is an outspoken lesbian singer-songwriter who operates an organization called Born Again Lesbian Music (BALM Ministries). Her story is a sad one. In 1969, as the 16 year-old leader of what many consider to be the first contemporary Christian music group, Children of the Day, Marsha wrote "For Those Tears I Died," which quickly became one of the most popular songs of the so-called Jesus Movement. Featured on Maranatha's "The Everlastin' Living Jesus Music Concert" album, her song became one of the best known Christian folk songs of the decade. Gloria and I, along with hundreds of churches around the country have sung that song for years. Unfortunately, in more recent years Marsha publicly declared herself to be lesbian and took her music and work in a very different direction from where it started. In December 2002, we had a Gaither Homecoming concert in Phoenix, where someone told us she was in attendance and asked if she could come backstage and say hello. Mark Lowry and I greeted Marsha and her partner and someone snapped a photograph of the four of us, a picture Marsha has exploited on her Web site ever since. False reports of what transpired at the concert have also surfaced on various Web sites so we pulled the videotape of the concert and reviewed it. Here is exactly what happened. Gloria and I were celebrating our 40th anniversary that night and we sang a number of songs that had been special to us over the years, including, "For Those Tears I Died." I mentioned, from the platform, that the woman who wrote that song "is here tonight." I then said that I love that song because someone "may have seen a grownup with a Jesus that maybe is pushing you away, that wouldn't let you in. And you were never good enough. The only Christ I know is the Christ in that song, with His arms out very wide, saying, 'come to the water.' That's the only Christ I know -- come as you are." We then continued the concert without any further mention of Marsha or this song. Any other report of this concert is simply and sadly false. I regret that this brief exchange has apparently been used to suggest some sort of endorsement of Marsha and her current life and work. Clearly I do not endorse or support either, though I believe God can, and does still use this song to minister to people. I pray for Marsha and encourage others to do the same. Bill Gaither |
I left a short message telling him I was dissapointed in how he treated Martha. |
I find it extremely odd that Bill Gaither of all people has the audacity to say such things. Everyone knows that Mark Lowry is gay, and has sung with Gaither for years. Surely Gaither knows this about Lowry. |
Prayers are needed
I have known Marsha and Cindy for several years. I appreciate their ministry and I have heard Marsha speak of the events. I have friends who have seen the video of the night in question although I have to admit that I have not. I have seen the picture and I believe that Bill is pandering to the fundamentalists out there in an effort not to stir them up. I believe that he "sold out"and did not stand up for what he originally thought was right. I believe that prayers are needed for Cindy and Marsha because they are bound to feel pain from the rejection they recieved from someone they considered to be a freind. I also believe that prayers are needed for Bill, because he knows that what he said was wrong and he is not standing up for his principals. This is not a very Christian action on his part. On my blog, (http://www.gaydeacon.blogspot.com) I suggested that maybe we should send him the ashes of his cd's and the sheet music of his songs as Marsha once recieved when she "came out" as the person that God made her.

for the record, I've moved some posts from this thread, to another because they didn't quite fit with the topic of the original post. That thread can now be found in the Foyer. Remember that the Foyer option must be chosen from one's user cp (control panel)
Let the discussion continue there!

May I ask a stuipid question. Why did you move my post to a forum I can not accesss??
You can access the Foyer by going to the User CP tab at the top of the page- you will see User CP on the far left. Simply re-set your access to the Foyer and you will find your posts there.
Be the love you seek. |
As I told you in a pm, twice now, you do have access to that forum, you simply need to select that option under the user control panel. Your posts were moved because your question was "off topic" for this thread. It had nothing to do with this particular thread, it needed a thread of its own. As Moderator, I made the decision to move it. Understand now?
Tolerate one another, just as I have tolerated you.- Jesus Christ? |
Enjoy Their Music
I have sung Marsha's song and I love Bill Gaither's music. I pray that they will meet face to face to fix up things.
