Yesterday, September 19, 2010, the International House of Prayer in Kansas City celebrated 11 years straight of non-stop worship and prayer. The prayer meeting that began on September 19, 1999 has never stopped. In our day and age of religious pluralism, cultural convenience, and informational overload, it is an absolute miracle that this prayer meeting, mostly fueled by young adults, has continued this long. But ceaseless worship and prayer is not just a phenomenon going on in Kansas City. All over the United States and the world, prayer rooms are springing up without any coordinated...

onething 09 recap
It's hard to believe that the KC onething conference is over and another year has passed. Paco and I were walking into Bartle Hall the day before the conference started agreeing together that it had seemed like we were just there only a few months ago.
For those of you who were able to watch the onething conference via the free webcast, I hope you were blessed, encouraged, challenged, and provoked to pursue Jesus and give Him the preeminence in your life in a new way.
There were over 20,000...
onething Raleigh/Durham wrapup
This weekend's onething conference was held in Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina. It was my first visit to the Tar Heel state. The Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area is home to 5 or 6 major college campuses, including common household names like Duke University and UNC. One of the major reasons onething wanted to come to this area was to strengthen the prayer movement on the local campuses. I'm sure there were young adults in attendance from all of the area campuses. The estimate I've heard was that somewhere around 1500 young adults were in attendance for the evening sessions!
onething Raleigh/Durham
After returning from Egypt with just a short week and a half at home , I'll be on the road again this weekend - this time, we are heading to Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina for the last regional onething conference of 2009 before the year-end Kansas City conference at the end of December.
If you haven't seen the photos and updates yet from onething Egypt, be sure to check them out here. The Lord moved powerfully and so many hearts and lives were changed!

onething Egypt - wrap up
It is good to be back in Kansas City! Our flight home was uneventful, but on the way back several of us began to feel feverish and sick to our stomach. We probably ate something contaminated in Egypt that our Western stomachs have not acclimated to like Egyptian stomachs have. I seem to be better today after several days of fever and the toilet being my best friend, however things are still not quite right with my intestines… The doctor told me I will probably be fine but to call him back if things got worse. But so many of you have been praying, and I believe I am getting healthy...
onething Egypt - day 6
Today began with a trip to several old Coptic churches in Cairo, including the first church formed by the Apostle Mark in coming to Egypt around 40AD. It's truly amazing to be so close to some of the places where the founding fathers of our faith and even Jesus Himself were. Egypt has such a rich Christian heritage, and I am confident that the Lord is going to bring all of His promises to pass (see Isaiah 19) related to the nation!
Our next stop was at the "cave church", located in a large amphitheater carved out of a massive rock face. The story of how this church was formed is...
onething Egypt - day 5
After leaving the camp fairly early, we drove to the Monastery of St. Macarius, also in Wadi Al-Natrun. It was founded in 360 A.D. by St. Macarius the Egyptian, who was spiritual father to many monks. Perhaps the most interesting thing about this monastery is that relics of John the Baptist and Elisha were said to be found below the northern wall of the monastery's main church during renovations in the early 1970's. John the Baptist was the greatest man born of a woman according to Jesus, so if we did indeed see where some of his relics were held, that would be crazy. Some of the...
onething Egypt - day 4
Today was the last day of the conference at the venue in Wadi at am 8,000 seat soccer stadium out in the middle of the desert. And when I say desert, I mean desert. For those of you from the southwest US, It's not quite like the Arizona desert – it's a lot more sandy and there is much less vegetation. There's a small lush green area in the middle of the complex, but outside of that it's pure desert sand. It's been a hot last several days too, with temperatures reaching near 100. Tomorrow we'll be heading to Cairo and spending the rest of our time in Egypt there.
onething Egypt - day 3
Wow. This conference just seems to be growing and growing! More buses keep arriving, and the morning session was even more packed out than last night's! There are people coming from all over the Middle East to be a part of the conference. We are truly witnessing something historic!
If you have not been able to listen to any of the conference live, be sure to visit this website to listen to the archives!

onething Egypt - day 2
IHOP's international onething conference in Egypt began today with approximately 3,000 attendees at the afternoon session and what seemed like double that amount of attendees at the evening session. Luke Wood led worship tonight, and a good part of his worship set was done in Arabic rather than English. He did a great job, and many of the people began cheering when he started singing in Arabic! Luke is leading again tomorrow morning, and then Justin Rizzo will be leading tomorrow night. He's going to be singing in Arabic as well and is perhaps a bit more nervous than Luke, but I am...

Really like it and very well made, I don't think there's enough of these type of games around. Fun game and plenty variety.
i think this game needs more monster cards and more secret evolutions
Reminds me a little of SG. Very nice and easy to learn but... I somehow managed to get 3 fantom shields and 2 watercats from a bunch of booster packs ( took about 8 or 9 basic and 4 advanced) but once I combined those with some magic attack equipment and a few armor equips, I had to go into the top tier just to find a challenge. I'll be kicking myself later but you should set limitations as to the number of those you can have. I'd say one of each would allow for the strategy to work but would stop it from being set up over and over again. I literally beat the rank one guy with this deck and he had some pretty nasty fighter on the field. Granted, it was a hell of a fight but my weight class was FAR below his. It's only 910 last I checked. so increase the points those cards are worth and set limitations on them as to how many you can have. They are potential game wreckers...
now I'm going to go look through my cards and see if I can make another ultimate deck without using all regenerating tanks.

I love the chill in the air! Just perfect for our Rock 'n Rib Fest from 1 - 9 pm tomorrow in Lawrenceville. I hope to see you out there. It was a blast last year, and should be even better tomorrow -- great local classic hits bands (including a Tom Petty tribute band,) and delicious ribs with all the trimmings. Bundle up though, highs are only going to be around 55.
Sunday I'm heading to downtown Athens and The Morton Theatre for the Dixie Film Festival and a showing of my good friend B98.5's Jordan Graye's film "Megahertz." This film has been a true labor of love for Jordan -- I'm so proud of her! She wrote, directed, and stars in this wonderful piece:
MEGAHERTZ is a high frequency love story about an emotionally frazzled radio DJ named Brigh (Bree) Montgomery who finds herself stuck in another dimension with the brilliant, eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla. Not knowing why they were paired up, this odd couple begins to find interesting points of intersection as they help each other put unfinished business to rest. Tesla confronts the likes of Thomas Edison, Guglielmo Marconi, and JP Morgan; while Brigh faces the first unrequited love of her life. They're helped along by the archangel Gabriel who offers a gentle hand for these two as they wrestle their demons and heal mega hurts. Higher ground awaits...for one.
The 2pm showing is open to the public, and tickets are $10 available at the theater. It would be great to see you there to support my good buddy. My River afternoon drive cohort, Kate McCarthy will be there too!

The H-II launch vehicle, the central rocket in Japan's space program, with the capability to launch a two-ton class satellite into geostationary orbit, is a two-stage rocket that was developed with Japanese independent technology in all stages. In addition to geostationary satellite, it can also be used to launch payloads into low and medium-altitude orbits. For greater economy, it is possible to launch simultaneously two geostationary satellites weighing about one ton each.
The 1st stage has a large, high-performance liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen engine known as the LE-7. Newly developed for the H-II launch vehicle, it offers propulsion of approximately 110 tons in a vacuum. The 2nd stage uses the LE-5A engine. This reignitable engine offers higher performance and reliability than the LE-5 engine developed for the H-I launch vehicle. The guidance system employs an inertial guidance method, a further improvement on H-I development results.
The H-II launch vehicle, since the first successful launch in 1994, was utilized in a total of 7 launches. Due to launch failure of the vehicle No.8 in 1999 came next to unsuccessful injection of the satellite by the No.5 in 1998, scheduled launch of the No.7 was cancelled, but the technology used in developing the H-II will be exploited for developing H-IIA.

In Bad Science, Ben Goldacre has made a point of exposing quack doctors and nutritionists, bogus credentialing programs, and biased scientific studies. He has also taken the media to task for its willingness to throw facts and proof out the window. But he is not here just to tell you what is wrong. Goldacre is here to teach you how to evaluate placebo effects, double-blind studies, and sample sizes, so that you can recognize bad science when you see it.
"Ben Goldacre is exasperated . . . He is irked, vexed, bugged, ticked off at sometimes inadvertent (because of stupidity) but more often deliberate deceptions perpetrated in the name of science. And he wants you, the reader, to share his feelings . . . There's more here than just debunking nonsense. The appearance of 'scienceiness': the diagrams and graphs, the experiments (where exactly was that study published?) that prove their efficacy are all superficially plausible, with enough of a "hassle barrier" to deter a closer look. Dr. Goldacre (a very boyish-looking 36-year-old British physician and author of the popular weekly Bad Science column in The Guardian) shows us why that closer look is necessary and how to do it . . . You'll get a good grounding in the importance of evidence-based medicine . . . You'll learn how to weigh the results of competing trials using a funnel plot, the value of meta-analysis and the Cochrane Collaboration. He points out common methodological flaws . . . 'Studies show' is not good enough, he writes: 'The plural of "anecdote" is not data.'"—Katherine Bouton, The New York Times
"British physician and journalist Ben Goldacre takes aim at quack doctors, pharmaceutical companies and poorly designed studies in extraordinary fashion in Bad Science. He particularly loathes (most) nutritionists, especially Scottish TV personality Gillian McKeith. To prove that her American Association of Nutritional Consultants membership isn't so impressive, Goldacre describes registering his dead cat Hettie for the same credentials online. Goldacre shines in a chapter about bad scientific studies by writing it from the perspective of a make-believe big pharmaceutical researcher who needs to bring a mediocre new drug to market. He explains exactly how to skew the data to show a positive result. 'I'm so good at this I scare myself,' he writes. 'Comes from reading too many rubbish trials.'"—Rachel Saslow, The Washington Post
Ben Goldacre is a writer, broadcaster, and doctor best known for the Bad Science column in The Guardian. Trained in Oxford and London, with brief forays into academia, Goldacre works full-time for the National Health Service.

The article says; | |
just a few years away You have been saying this for a long time now, but without ever quantifying it. A few years could be 5, 10, 50, or 100 years. Unless you can put a more precise figure on it, people won't listen. But of course when you do, e.g 1st June 2019, and it doesn't happen, you will look rather foolish. So of course you have to be open ended. Are you sure you are not a secret JW? Their doctrine appears to be that unless we all repent and live a better life, then shortly we will all be judged etc etc. But again like you, they cover themselves and won't give a timescale. Nobody likes the way that the world is going, and there may well be in time to come, a worldwide meltdown of law and order to be replaced with something else. I'm not thinking WWIII with bombs and rockets, but a general realisation that international conflict is self destructive. Doesn't this Bible say that towards the end of the world nation shall wage war upon nation, and there shall be pestilences everywhere. And the heavens shall pour down their fury etc etc. Well we have wars everywhere, cancers we cannot cure, unprecedented earthquakes, floods, droughts, tsunamis etc. Ooooer ... But the world isn't about to blow up, nor is some divine being going to suddenly appear to put everything right. There may be another ET visit at some point in the future, and with their technology and power they would be seen as a god or gods, that I cannot rule out, nor can anyone else. Wonder what odds Ladbrokes give? I won't bet on my country losing, I might bet on the world having a laugh though. | |

We have made some terrible decisions when religion has intruded on our government. Oh, you're getting that there now? Welcome to the club! ____________ | |
tea idiots want to throw that away and invite sharia to rule the USA. TEA IDIOTS WANT TO THROW THAT AWAY AND INVITE SHARIA TO RULE THE USA?! [rant] Ya know, people like me are starting to get tired of trying to discuss the real issues of our nation and of the world with the likes of some of you folks in here. Whenever I start pointing out facts, the responses I get are absolutely ridiculous. It's almost as if some of you in here are actively working to destroy the state of society. Why? I don't know. You must think that a destroyed nation is better than the one we're living in right now. You must think, somehow, that you will be better off in a destroyed nation. This game of politics is borderline childish. It's almost as if you are making sure the other side doesn't get what they want if you don't get what you want. It's almost as if there are childish temper tantrums in here and from the liberals across the nation. Look at what's happening in Greece and Spain right now. You don't know what a trillion is, do you? You don't know the difference between deficit and debt, do you? Continuing to print more and more fiat currency is a sure path to destruction. Is that what you want here in the U.S.? Some of you still don't understand the reality of the situations across the world. Here in the U.S. we've already gone over the fiscal cliff in that no matter how high you raise taxes, we will still be running a deficit. You want to raise taxes on the rich! Well well well... do you realize the current distribution of taxpayers and tax takers? Do you realize what raising taxes further on the rich will do? You don't believe that will destroy upward mobility even further, cause even more middle class to drop down into the poor class, ruin more rich people and concentrate wealth in even fewer people chosen by the likes of Obama, Reid and Pelosi. Is that what you want? Again, do you know the difference between the deficit and the national debt? The national debt is so big now, tax payers 3 or 4 or 5 generations away, yet to be born, will be paying for the debt created from the absolute lack of responsibility out of Washington DC today. And the people who created this massive debt will not be held accountable. It started in the Reagan years. Everybody blames Reagan. But did you even take notice of what the democrats in the house and senate did while Reagan was in office? NO! You refuse to look at the facts. Because the facts don't align with what you want to believe. Those responsible are now either dead or are now living a comfortable life in an exclusive area of the country, completely insulated from liability or threats. Don't some of you realize some of the things that have occurred lately? What do you think the Dodd-Frank bill did? Don't you realize it forced banks to loan mortgage money to folks who could in no way shape or form ever have a chance at paying back their loan? And the bank bail out... don't you realize that was a way to cover up the disastrous effects of the Dodd-Frank bill? And now, don't you realize the $40B/month being printed and used to buy "mortgage backed securities" is another attempt to keep the housing market bubble from collapsing for a few more months? Don't you realize what inflation is? Don't you realize inflation, which devalues the dollar, which lowers the buying power of the individual American and enables the irresponsible politicians in DC to use freshly printed money at the current rate before it gets devalued shifts more and more power to the irresponsible politicians in DC? Don't you realize the principles which made this country great are being ignored more and more and the liberal press is working to keep people misinformed because the only way for the liberal press to make money is to focus on the short-term and ignore the future? Don't you realize that we are on a path of destruction and we've gone so far down this spiral that there is no other course but to start suffering now because of it? Don't you realize the only hope we have at easing the suffering is to return to the principles which made this country great? Don't you realize that freedom works? And that socialism/Marxism/communism fails every time it's tried? What would you have done after some Muslim extremists stole our planes and drove them into our buildings killing almost 3,000 people from 80 different countries in world trade center? What would you have done differently? Say, "I'm sorry?" Do you want Al Queda and the Muslim brotherhood to continue to grow in strength and numbers? Do you actually believe the religion of peace is a religion of peace? Do you women in here really want to implement Sharia law? Do you even know what Sharia law is? You think women don't have equal rights right now? You think the Equal Rights Amendment failed because of angry white Anglo-Saxon protestant males? Don't you realize ERA was never about equal rights, it was about special privileges and when NOW realized what the ERA was going to do THEY were the ones who killed it? We already live in a society of gender-neutral laws. We treat women like women (except for the women who don't want to be treated like ladies) and the ERA would have force us to treat all women like men. Is that what you wanted? Back to Al Queda and the Muslim brotherhood... Did you realize what was going on in Iraq shortly after that with Hussein and his two evil sons? No, you kept on repeating the mantra, "Bush lied, people died" and there were no WMDs. What would you have done if the general consensus from NATO countries was that there were WMDs as president of the U.S.? HUH? What would you have done? Said, sorry, that's not my business—neither Iraq nor Afghanistan. Let Hussein and his two absolutely evil sons continue terrorizing its citizens. Let Hussein keep working towards creating WMDs. Let those tribes in Afghanistan continue training its children to become terrorists because when the time comes, all they have to do is press the button, have the bombs explode on their chests and they'd be rewarded with 72 virgins. That would have been OK for you as president of the U.S. or even as a reasonable human being? Now we have U.S. citizens being killed in Benghazi, Syria is mortaring Turkey, and Iran is months away from nuking Israel. Are you OK with this? You think the U.S. should just stand back and let them do it? Are you thinking in some sort of sick twisted way that maybe that would be a good thing because it would be a way to thin the heard a bit on this planet, thus reducing global warming and saving the planet? At the cost of WWIII? You think this would be a good thing? You think we are consuming too much of the earths resources even though we are a minority on the planet so anything that lowers our standard of living is a good thing? There are still people dying to cross our borders because we still have more freedom here than in most other places on this planet and you think that's a bad thing? You thing the U.S. is a bad decision from the very beginning because some of our founding fathers honestly thought there was divine intervention at the beginning of the great nation? You think the revolutionary war should have been lost? You think Canada should be facing a 75% tax on the rich to fix Frances problems now? You think Queen Elizabeth should still be taxing us without representation to solve the problems in East London? You think everything south of the Big River should be under control of Spain? Well, get over your hard feelings, that's all water under the bridge and some of us are getting tired of you liberals continuing to screw things up and then complain about it. You keep working to destroy the institutions of this great nation such as the Boy Scouts of America because they are a private organization that frowns upon homosexuality but teaches self-reliance, personal responsibility and a positive work ethic towards society. You liberals keep working to destroy the basic unit of this the country, the family by taxing married man/woman more in taxes than the single dog who goes around impregnating the whores of society. You encourage single parents and gay adoption and think this is good for society. You encourage the behavior demonstrated on the Jerry Springer show. You cheer and congratulate 16-year-old teenagers in high school when they get pregnant and the father is gone. You cheer and congratulate anyone who comes out of the closet and say that's a good thing. You want to force the producers of society who believe in God to pay for things that go against their beliefs. You keep saying their beliefs are outdated and racists/bigoted/homophobic. You fail to realize the reason for some of those beliefs because time has passed you by, you refuse to look at history, and you can't see for yourself the results of those beliefs. You refuse to look at the facts and keep distorting the truth in order to do what? Just what is it you are trying to do? Whether you realize it or not, you are reducing the capacity of this nation to remain a guiding light to the dreams of many the world over. You are destroying a nation that was created like no other time in history. You are destroying the only nation left who can reach out and actually help others in dire straights. But you don't want that anymore. You want it all yourself. You refuse to admit the fact that you are a leech on society and you want more. You've been trained from generation to generation and made to believe you can't do anything for yourself and you have a right to take from others who can do for themselves. You are working to create a world of over 200 political entities, all going to war with each other to become the next leader of the world. Is that what you want? Hugo Chavez just won re-election. Do you actually want someone like him telling you how to live and how much to give him? Do you really want another Stalin/Hitler/Pol Pot/etc to rise to power over the world? I'm telling you, there are still people out there that will bring back the statement, "give me liberty or give me death!" and mean it. Is that what it's going to take to get some of you to realize what you're bringing to the nation/world? You want it to be too late before you admit what you're doing is destroying a nation? What's going to happen when you can no longer afford gasoline and the solar panel on your roof only gives one luke warm shower in the summer per day? What are you going to do when it takes you an hour to walk to the grocery store to spend a week's wages on a loaf of bread, a bottle of milk (if they have any) and there are no more trees in your back yard to cut down for a fire? Is that what it's going to take? Well, we're well on our way to a world dictator. This health care debacle is a giant step to moving towards destroying this nation and giving more credence to the uninformed about how we need one world dictator. The health care bill was passed purely by democrats (and only after bribing 5 democrat senators with money they can use for their own personal pet project and for their own grab towards more power in thier own districts) and has now been deemed the largest tax hike in history. What did it bring us? We now have an unwritten right to free health care. Free health care which includes free abortions, free sex change operations and million dollar operations to extend the lives of some specially selected people by a few months because they played a part in the total take over of the big pile of money created by our fathers and grandfathers. Since Obama takes the place for God for some of you liberals in here, he (or his dictator replacement) will now first decide if you are allowed to live through the use of a death panel as long as you are still inside your mother, but that will soon be extended to up to two years old or some arbitrary number to account for the burocratic blunders of another totally inefficient government agency and then decide if you are to be taken away from your mother to be raised by the government (hitler and a few other gems in world history did this) and then when you are no longer able to pick enough rice to meet your daily quota out in the fields you will be deems a burden to society and will be allowed to die from the first ailment that hits you while those in charge will sit in their castles, smoking thier cigars, drinking their whiskey and what ever other chemically induced euphoria they are doing will get all the medical attention available when the lung cancer or what ever ails them starts to make an appearance. Why do some of you want this? Have you no shame? Freedom works. Socialism/Marxism/communism doesn't. You may or may not realize this but the more you tear down the conservative, the more the conservative is going to prepare for what's coming and guess what? The conservative will still have more to eat, more heat in the winter and a more comfortable place to live. And when the temper tantrums start, the conservative will still have unregistered automatic and semi-automatic weapons, black powder rifles and defensive perimeters while you starving grasshoppers will still be outside complaining about the ant having more.

Sirius suggested Sharia brings the "punishment", if true, then there must be a criminal activity under Sharia. Alternatively, the Taliban and its violent supporters are a bunch of thugs that care not a jot about Sharia, though, for reasons that are not clear, many news articles mention Sharia when reporting on the thugs.

The Crowd Says (4) | Page 1 of Comments
January 21st 2013 @ 9:54am
Tony said | January 21st 2013 @ 9:54am | Report commentRobbie, I don't think the media are demanding Herbert's head just yet, but he certianly needs to take stock and start working out just why the Phoenix have been so poor this season.
Their crowds are the worst in the League and dwindling fast, and it's a sorry situation for a team who have previously been defensively very strong.
The Nix have never scored truck loads of goals, but have always been solid at the back.
I think it's time for a new right back (Bertos is really a winger), and for Ian Hogg to get a crack next week at left back in place of Tony Lochhead.
The Phoenix (and the All Whites for that matter) have always played a direct brand of football under Herbert with plenty of balls into the box. Key to their success was Lochhead's deliveries (he was my man of the match for NZ against Slovakia at the World Cup), but sadly I think Lochhead's time might have come, as well as Herbert's other World Cup heroes like Bertos and Paston.
Time for some big changes…
January 21st 2013 @ 4:31pm
hog said | January 21st 2013 @ 4:31pm | Report commentSurely some of the blame has to go to the owners, yes a better playing style needs to be implemented but even a casual observer like myself could tell you that they do not have the players willing or capable of playing a more attractive brand of football.
Obviously you then need to recruit players and that would have been much better done at season's end.
An interesting observation that i thought had some truth is that as the A league has improved the pheonix have stayed at the same level.
And for whatever reasons losing players of the class of Rojas, Smeltz, Barbarousas, does not help.
Crowds are dwindling yes, but Wellington does not have great weather especially in the early part of the season, and WHY OH WHY did they not build an 20,000 seat indoor suited to Rugby and soccer. -

AGO74 said | January 21st 2013 @ 4:58pm | Report commentHerbert is a NZ football legend and always will be. Unfortunately for him though where as in past years it has been possible to be manager of both Phoenix and All Whites, this is no longer possible. They are both full-time jobs.

text: My mind knows what my heart starts, Darkness surrounds yet clouds play their parts. On the other side I can find my way, I'm thankful to see, just another day. Sometimes when I'm sad this is not so, I still plant seeds yet nothing can grow. Sometimes the changes in life are abrupt, I speak my mind but don't mean to interrupt. When the words come I simply do say, They part the clouds that get in the way. I seem to understand after a while, What I have heard brings such a smile. The day comes to a close like many before, I look to the sky, imagine what's in store. I can wonder all I want yet it doesn't change a thing, Heartbreak and regrets are the prize they bring. Silence surrounds as I hear a birds song, It adheres to my soul I simply hang on. I watch to see some new pieces break free, Many of the pieces were inside of me. The ones that seem lost I try to find, I pause for a second but get left behind. I think of those pieces like parts of myself, I search for the life I left upon the shelf. I know I can't always get what I want, The rope around my neck seems to get taunt. Still there is the hope that I can break free. A man with his words with the wisdom he sees.

Hemnes for linen
Ikea Hemnes Linen Cabinet
Member Name: europe-chick
Ikea Hemnes Linen Cabinet
Date: 20/08/12
Advantages: holds a lot of linen, matches other Hemnes items, looks quite classy
Disadvantages: only available in red, a bit overpriced at £210, soft wood marks easily
I really like the Hemnes range from Ikea. We've had a number of the pieces over the years in the many places that we've lived.
One of the pieces that we currently have is the Hemnes linen cabinet. It currently retails for £210 in Ikea, however I'm positive that we only paid £150 about a year or so ago, maybe we bought it when it was on offer. I'm not entirely sure that I'd pay £210 for it now, which is why I'm convinced that we only paid £150, as I do think that £210 is somewhat overpriced for this. Unlike the rest of the Hemnes range, the linen cabinet only comes in one colour - red. I'm happy with the red though as I do have other Hemnes pieces in red, and I do think that you can mix and match the Hemnes colours to a certain extent, for instance I think that the red and the grey-brown look really good together.
Like all Ikea furniture this is self assembly, my husband assembled this in around half an hour.
You can get lots of other items in the Hemnes bedroom range if you want matching bedroom furniture; wardrobes, mirrors, the linen cabinet, a dressing table, beds, various sizes of chests of drawers, and bedside tables.
The linen cabinet has 2 small drawers at the top, and then 2 glass doors which open to reveal 2 shelves.
The drawers at the top are only small, and are set next to each other so are half the width of the chest of drawers. The drawers operate nice and smoothly with no catching or locking, they even have drawer stops on stopping you from accidentally pulling the drawer all the way out. The bases of the drawers have a lovely striped board on the bottom which adds a little bit of interest to the interior. The drawers have round gunmetal drawer knobs which are easily interchangeable should you prefer to put your own fancy handles on the drawers instead. The drawers do seem to be a bit too small to be useful in a linen cabinet as you can't fit any linen inside them, well maybe just pillowcases. I prefer to keep bedding sets together on the shelves of the linen cabinet, and so I use these drawers for documents such as passports, driving licenses, bills to pay etc!
The large and roomy interior of the linen cabinet has two adjustable red wooden shelves, which you can set in a wide range of positions. I've just set ours equally spaced apart so that it looks uniform behind the glass doors. The two glass doors actually close and lock with a little gunmetal key, I'm not sure why you'd want to lock the doors of your linen cabinet but hey ho! The backboard of the linen cabinet is in the same striped board as the drawer bases, again adding a little bit of interest to the interior. The glass doors are clear glass, and I think that I probably would have preferred them to be an opaque glass, or even the red wood, as it looks a bit untidy inside my linen cabinet the majority of the time and the clear glass obviously gives me a clear view of just how untidy it is! The cabinet does hold an awful lot of stuff, I've got 4 superking size bedding sets, 2 single size bedding sets, and 2 double bedding sets in here.
The linen cabinet is made from a very soft wood, and so it's very easy to knock a dent in the wood, or scratch the top surface, or even take a chunk out the wood altogether. It marks much easier than you would think, my husband has taken a few chunks out of ours by literally just putting his jeans on the top - his belt buckle has bashed the wood and scratched the wood or knocked a chunk out quite a few times. Once you know how easily it can mark or scratch then it is easier to look after it, but it is easy to forget sometimes and damage it.
I am happy with this though, in spite of the soft wood and the clear glass doors. I think that it looks quite classy for Ikea furniture, and I like that it is actually solid wood and not just chipboard - I think that this helps to make it look more expensive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this, and I'd certainly buy one again.

How we change what others think, feel, believe and do |
Learned Helplessness Theory Explanations > Theories > Learned Helplessness Theory Description | Research | Example | So What? | See also | References DescriptionHow we attribute the events that occur in our lives has a significant effect on our attitudes and efforts in improving our lot. In particular there are three types of belief affect us:
ResearchSeligman rang a bell whilst shocking a restrained dog. He then allowed it to move out of the way and rang the bell again. The dog did not move! What it had learned was not that ringing a bell means pain, but that it is futile trying to get away from shocks. ExampleIf a poor test result is attributed to a lack of intrinsic capability as evidenced by many past failures, then we are likely to reduce our efforts, be more depressed and view ourselves in an ever-fading light. So what?Using itTo build influence, make and encourage attributions about other people so they learn helplessness and become dependent on you. To help people become less helpless, show them what is happening. Help them make attributions that lead to positive actions and 'learned confidence'.

"Part III" by Josh Maxey
The Language of Sound and Spirit (Self Produced) by Josh Maxey
Editor's Comments
Exciting mix of modern jazz and classic soul bop from the sixties. For the last year, Maxey has been putting out one intriguing recording after the other. And fun, let's not forget to mention that this is very fun music. Thrilling upbeat music to get your day started right. Jazz from NYC.
Heavily influenced by the classic Coltrane Quartet and Jimmy Page's acoustic guitar playing in altered tunings, Language... is a suite of music combing traditional jazz forms with drone sounds.
Produced by jazz guitar legend Rodney Jones, featuring Brian Charette (organ), Chase Baird (saxophones), Jeremy Noller (drums), Michael Cioffero (acoustic guitar & singing bowls), David Nicholson (acoustic guitar & singing bowls), Jessica Martinez Maxey (NA Flute) and
David Parnell (Vocals). The song "Part III" is the band in a traditional instrumentation, adding only the Tibetan singing bowls to open up the sound.

Thank you so much for that article! I've been struggling so much to stay focused on God and just enjoying my time as a single Christian woman. This is the only time that I'll get with just me and God and of course, that doesn't seem to be enough for me. For some dumb reason, I always have this need to daydream and to keep hoping and wanting a wonderful man of God to come into my life and to help save the world together =] But honestly, thank you so much for your article! It's reminded and encouraged me, that this is Father and Daughter time, and what I need to focus on right now is growing to become a phenomenal woman of God who continues to be a witness to all. Thank you so much, like others said, for making this whole single woman loneliness thing seem absolutely normal. I've been trying to deny it, and pretend that I'm completely happy. But the truth is...it's a struggle man. Especially when everyone around seems to finding love.
God knows ive struggled with this but i ve learned one: a man is not the panacea to all of life's problems, while being lonely is a real dilemma two: God doesnt want us to be alone, but lastly three:marriage is HARD. It has a purpose and is a calling, its more of a natural thing with a natural result, in short i believe that God wants Godly seed. while i know that that is not the only reason it is an important one. so when i dont have a life conducive to this, meaning we aren't willing to be the help meet, Psalm 78 says that their were no wedding songs because of disobedience. I mean since the feminist movement we are the partarkers of a fallen world. being married is harder then EVER, an We dont know what that women with the son has been through, i think what if she's a single mom, who has no husband, or has a husband who is not saved, If she doesnt have a happy marriage who am i to tell God what He can and Cannot do. I think its more about what GOd wants and less about what I want.

Such an encouraging article - I just happened to stumble across it and was definitely blessed by it. As a single woman myself, I have gone through a lot of what Colleen discussed and the Lord has been gracious to show me a lot of the same things. It's always comforting to know you're not alone in your struggles!
Nice article, very helpful. Thank God for a sensitive woman who shares her experience. Seems like God is telling us You are not alone, I´m here with you.♪♪ Looks like we are recharging batteries, doesn´t it? Cielo
This article came just when I needed it. As many other single women, I'm also going through periods of loneliness. However, at my age where so much is happening in my life, I feel I'm not ready for a relationship. I have had 2 failed marriages before and almost an empty nester. It has been rough to say the least; but with the Lord's help I have made it. The Lord have said to me more than once, that He has someone for me. It's been 5 years been alone after a divorce but it sure feels a lifetime. I am patiently waiting on the Lord, but sometimes I feel like Abraham (25 years of waiting for the fulfillment of the Promise) I hope I don't have to wait that long. On the other hand, I feel quite content with what the Lord has given me. In my case, a commitment is somewhat scary. I know the Lord does not make mistakes but I'm not sure about myself. I'm still work in progress.

A Mountain Biking video by filme-von-draussen - 3,604 views
Sometimes it's tough to get your daily dose of epicness, especially when you have a regular daytime job to do. On this sunny Tuesday morning I got up and on my mountainbike to fill up on endorphin before I go to work.

I love the lyrics to No Shelter
The main attraction, distraction got ya number than number than numb Empty ya pockets son, they got you thinkin that What ya need is what they sellin Make you think that buyin is rebellin' From the theaters to malls on every shore The thin line between entertainment and war The frontline is everywhere, there be no shelter here Spielberg the nightmare works so push it far Amistad was a whip, the truth was feathered and tarred Memories erased and burned and scarred Trade in ya history for a VCR Cinema, simulated life, ill drama Fourth Reich culture, Americana Chained to the dream they got ya searchin for The thin line between entertainment and war There be no shelter here The frontline is everywhere Hospitals not profit full the market bull's got pockets full To advertise some hip disguise View tha world from American eyes Tha poor adore keep fighting for more Tha thin line between entertainment and war They fix the need, develop the taste Buy their products or get laid to waste Coca-Cola is back in the veins of Saigon And Rambo too, he got a dope pair of Nikes on Godzilla pure mutha fuckin filler keep ya eyes off the real killer Cinema, simulated life, ill drama Fourth Reich culture, Americana Chained to the dream they got ya searchin for Tha thin line between entertainment and war American eyes, American eyes.... View the world from American eyes Bury the past, rob us blind And leave nothin behind American eyes, American eyes.... View the world from American eyes Bury the past, rob us blind And leave nothin behind Justice ( x 4 ) Relive the nightmare |
Bombtrack | #33 Subject: No Shelter Posted: 08/02/2004 19:21:48 |
I think No Shelter is an awesome song that totally sums up the consumerism and ignorance that many people live their lives in. "Make you think that buying is rebelling", this is how the machine is keeping people down, keeping them from thinking and expression. This song is really harsh when it comes to how America treats foreign cultures, but I guess that's how Zach truly sees it.

missing RAGE,...sucks that i only got to see them once..if only they were still together..besides, why did they break up?
evilname | #35 Subject: I have a suspicion Posted: 08/07/2004 21:07:52 |
THat Tom and Zack had a diffrence in opinion about spreading the message. Or maybe Zack wanted to go more Hip Hop
and Bombtrack, may I point out Propaghadi if you think those lyrics are harsh Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes The tangled webs they weave span from Pine to Ruby Ridge, way back from Shay's defeat on up to Gustafsen (now cue the ass parade of ditto-heads and commissars and pricks to drown out this faintest threat of commie **BLEEP** heretics). Conclusion: the nail that sticks up gets hammered down and the master's finest tools are found slack-jawed and placid amidst the cacophony of screaming billboards and Disney-fied history. Sometimes the ties that bind are strange: no justice shines upon the cemetery plots marked Hampton, Weaver or Anna-Mae where Federal Bureaus and Fraternal Orders have cast their shadows; permanent features built into these borders. But undercover of the customary gap we find between History and Truth, the Founding Fathers bask in the rocket's blinding red glare. The bombs bursting in air. One nation. Indivisible? The truth is when the back-country learned of ratification the People had a coffin painted black and solemnly borne in funeral procession, they buried it deep in the earth as an emblem of the dissolution and internment of their Publick Liberty. Someday, somewhere, today's empires are tomorrow's ashes. |

I can recall one time at the MTV music awards that Tim Commerford (the bass player) pull some crazy stunt like dangling from a set piece when Limp Bizkit recieved their award for best rock group and he had to be arrested because of it. Does anyone know the circumstances of this event or why Tim decided to do this? Did it contribute to the break up of the band?

I can't believe RAGE is gone man. But still I'll keep my fist raised! I'm working on a RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE collage for my room, I do this on my extra time.
yam83 | #40 Subject: Posted: 08/13/2004 17:55:28 |
I've found one thing while listening to Rage. No matter how many times I listen to one of their albums, even if I get tired of it, I always come back to it anyway. Not just the music, but the lyrics are also infinitely.....re-listenable. (for lack of a better word)
By the way, how many of you are voting age? I have a favor to ask of you. Since I'm not a U.S. citizen, I need you to help get Bush out. Please, it's not only the U.S.A. that's at stake here, it's also the other 5 billion+ people of the world. |

Venezuela recently elected

Also for being the only Foreign leader to visit Iraq prior to the invasion. he won the election with a %58 vote. The Carter Center has concluded there was no vote tampering.

I kinda don't believe in voting. Well...only if it's to kick someone unfair out, but voting for a president or whatever I don't like. Either way whoever you choose is gonna screw the people anyway right?
yam83 | #51 Subject: The best moments in life are free Posted: 08/31/2004 23:40:19 |
It was just priceless, seeing Schwarzenegger leading the mindless chant; "four more years, four more years". Isn't the Republican convention just a really elaborate stage performance? After all, they've got a Hollywood actor on stage...
Bombtrack | #52 Subject: Republican Nations Convention Posted: 09/01/2004 11:24:14 |
I hate Republicans. I don't want to oversimplify, but they are all red-neck christian robots who will vote they way that 'their leader' tells them. These people wear the Terrorist attacks of 9/11 like a badge on their boy scout uniform. Look at all that we've done after 9/11, they say - well what did they do before 9/11 to prevent it? And I can't put it more plainly than GEORGE BUSH WAS WRONG, they try to dance around the facts about Iraq and Osama bin Laden and attempt to contort the truth and some how come out on top with moral superiority. It's retarded, i don't live in the US, but if I did I would put aside my Nader-ish tendencies and put a boot up W's ass by voting for Kerry.
EMANLIVE | #53 Subject: Posted: 09/06/2004 08:42:52 |
I really didn't like anything about it. it seemed to be nothing but attacks on Kerry. Nothing really new from the agenda. Which means nothings going to change if Bush's reelected. But at least it looks like the democrats will regain congress so its ok
CRM 114 | #54 Subject: Republican'ts Posted: 09/09/2004 19:41:14 |
the republican (republicant grasp different concepts) party's whole tactic is to attack the opponent until they concede from embarrasment or until the public hates them with a true passion (*cough* Big Brother *cough* *cough* Two Mintue Hate *cough*) i mean seriously they attacked a democrats vietnam record (not kerry) and this guy had lost 2 legs and a arm. oh and the bush campaign only has 3 things to campaign on, 9/11, the iraqi war, and the fear they put (or try to, dont work on me)in you that if Bush leaves America will become under heavy attack and be taken over by al-quida(sp) if you read my blog i elaborate on that even more
Bombtrack | #55 Subject: Poetic Justice Posted: 09/10/2004 18:45:33 |
After all the action over Kerry's vietnam record and his actions after the vietnam war - mostly because of a group known as "Vietnam Veterans for Truth" there is now a group known as "Texans for truth" which are calling Bush's record in the national guard (but not his record in Vietnam... odd)into question - and now the repubs are saying that these 527's are all orchastrated. Some in the Demo's may call this action "sweet vengeance" but I just prefer to call it pure, sweet "Poetic Justice". PS: Bush didn't serve in Vietnam... who do you think knows war better?
CRM 114 | #56 Subject: Establish Posted: 09/10/2004 19:05:43 |
Ok first things first I'm all for Kerry but he has been playin the 'Nam card too much. And also now while i don't think Kerry is behind those anti-Bush ads, but i do know that Bush is behind the anti-Kerry campaign. I would also like to say that the similarities between (ask me if you want me to elaborate) 1984 and the Bush administration its scary. Now i would post those similarities but i dont know how you guys feel about Michael Moore, and if you consider him propaganda then I'm a fricken terrorist for what I say about them. Point out truths and all.

The following are a few programsworking to leverage this economic benefit from high-speed Internet:
- One of the most successful programs [6] [7]in using technology to spur economic development has been the e-NC Authority. By investing in long-term projects related to high-speed Internet build-out and adoption, the program aims to create communities that can sustain high-value jobs and a greater quality of life through the creation of wealth on a local level. This includes grants for seven e-NC Business and Technology Telecenters, which serve as small business resource centers, providing business start-up counseling, low-cost office space and technological resources, in economically-distressed communities.
- Cedar Falls, Iowa [8]saw an economic revitalization after building a municipal high-speed Internet network. A report by the Telecommunications Coordinator Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities stated, "[O]ne can not disregard the direct link between the "Dawn of a New Age" and the City's ability to meet the increasing demand for access and dissemination of information... [o]ne of the best first steps toward acquiring economic well-being is to ensure that you have quality infrastructure including a first class high-speed Internet network."
- In Bristol Virginia [9], two technology companies, CGI-AMS Inc. and Northrop Grumman Corp., built data centers in nearby Russell County that will create 1,500 good-paying jobs. They were attracted in part by the availability of OptiNet, an 800-mile fiber-optic network operated by Bristol Virginia Utilities (BVU).
- Lake County [2] [10]— a small county in central Florida — began generally offering private businesses and municipal institutions access to one of Florida's most extensive, municipally-owned high-speed Internet networks, with fiber optic connections to hospitals, doctor offices, private businesses, and 44 schools. Since the opening of their municipal network, Lake County has experienced approximately 100% greater growth in economic activity—relative to comparable Florida counties.

Pick-up-and-play iPhone games Video
Pick-up-and-play iPhone games Video Transcript
Welcome to Tap that App, IÕm Jason Parker and this is the show where we cover the hottest apps in the mobile space. This week weÕre showing off a trifecta of iPhone games that are fun, challenging, and easy to pick-up-and-play (and no, we're not talking about Angry Birds). No, this week, we're talking about Skee Ball, Flick Football, and StarDunk. To get started, Skee Ball has been in the iTunes App Store for more than a year now, but remains an excellent way to waste a little time wherever you are. Just like arcades of old, the object of Skeeball is to flick 10 balls down an alley and try to land them in cups with different score values. Hitting lit cups add to your bonus and when you're done you can even spend your winnings on cheap trinkets and other items in the loot shop. Skeeball is a lot of fun and is 99 cents at the iTunes app store. If Skeeball is not your thing, check out Flick Football. Flick Football challenges you to flick a soccer ball into a goal around stationary defenders and sometimes a moving goal keeper. As you progress through the game, you'll need to hit skill shots near the edges of the goal to earn extra lives so missed shots won't end your game. You can even do curved shots to kick the ball around defenders with a curved swipe of your finger. Flick Football is surprisingly fun and challenging the more you play and you can get it at the app store for 99 cents. Our third great pick-up-and-play game is StarDunk, a basketball shooting game with an arcade twist. Shoot a basket by touching and moving your finger on the touch screen to adjust your shot trajectory, then let go to shoot. Hitting all four bars on the backboard gives you a random bonus that can make the hoop wider or let you shoot multiple balls at once. As you progress, you'll be able to unlock experiment with different balls with unique properties to see what works best for you. Best of all, you can play online against other players in a minute-and-a-half long shootout to see who gets the high score. StarDunk has no actual slam dunks, but is definitely fun and a steal at 99 cents. To sum it up, let's face it: some iPhone games are made for those times when you need a quick time waster and each of these fit the bill nicely. If you're an iPhone user, I recommend tapping all three of these apps. ThatÕs it for this week's show, if you have any suggestions, send them to Tap That App at cnet.com. I'm Jason Parker and weÕll see you next week.
