On his first day in the Auschwitz camp, he saw a Polish criminal, who had been give charge of his bunkhouse. This man who was given so much power over his fellow prisoners soon beat a prisoner to death for having diarrhea--and stinking up the room. When Tadeusz asked why this occurred, the reply from the long term residents was, "Here they don't need a reason to beat you at all, don't you understand that?"
Within weeks Tadeusz physical frame was worked almost to death by the heavy outdoor work that winter. In the meantime, he observed several suicides by those who had given up all hope. These prisoners would simply either walk up to a wire and touch it or start walking away from their workplace at a slow pace, only to be mowed down in rifle, pistol, or machine gun fire. Another time, he observed capos and bunk leaders killing prisoners simply to hide their bodies under the bunkhouse for a few days. (During this time, these criminal types could take the food rations of these other dead prisoners unnoticed by the German higher-ups for a week at a time.) Likewise, German soldiers were given holidays for every prisoner they shot escaping-a lot of prisoners who weren't escaping just so the soldier could "earn" a holiday.
Just as Tadeusz was giving up all hope, he fell ill with tuberculosis. This is when he came across several miracle workers in the camp. First, Tadeusz was taken to the camp medical hospital and put in isolation-instead of sent straight to the gas chamber. In his interim of delirium at the so-called camp hospital, Tadeusz was taken care of by prison clinic assistants and a few Polish doctors who actually did their best (with next-to-know medicine) to take care of the few prisoners they could. When Tadeusz had recovered a bit, some of his former cellmates then smuggled bread and food into the clinic for him to help in his recovery. Likewise, amongst the prison clinic and the camp kitchen Tadeusz observed, there were teams of volunteers who smuggled food regularly to assist the sickest prisoners among them in the camp-excepting, of course, those who had not been shot, killed, or beaten to death.
It was in this context, Tadeusz was even able to receive a visit from his own father. Soon Tadeusz was well enough to volunteer to help out in the clinic. Tadeusz helped other victims of illnesses, particularly those with tuberculosis which was sweeping the camp. Even after he was well, the doctors and helpers in the hospital clinic kept Tadeusz there longer than normally permitted as an all-around clinic assistant-i.e. cleaning beds, changing sheets, etc. These same prisoners and doctors in the clinic had also protected Tadeusz from various SS "selections", whereby sick prisoners were marked to be shot, sent to gas chambers or to experiment centers.
Finally, Tadeusz was forced to rejoin the world of work- and death camps. Suddenly, he had one of the most dreaded jobs of all. This occurred because it became clear that he could speak and read German. Therefore, Tadeusz was assigned as a translator and transcriber for the Auschwitz "train welcoming committee". This meant he daily faced scenes like one witnesses in the film, SOPHIE'S CHOICE, whereby loved ones were, separated, parted and selected from one-another. Some were sent to various parts of the camp to work--or to their immediate deaths.
It was during this short period of great shame as translator, that another major miracle or stroke of luck occurred to Tadeusz. An elderly Jew who recognized that they were originally from the same township in Poland gave Tadeusz an expensive watch because, as the old man said, "I can't use it wear I am going and you can." Tadeusz looked around and pocketed the watch quickly.
Within a few hours, Tadeusz was out looking across the camp for a benefactor who could use the watch and get him out of the horrible job as translator and statistician for new arrivals. Tadeusz came across the right man-a national champion boxer of Poland who had connections all over Auschwitz. His benefactor-to-be admired the watch.
Tadeusz asked if the Polish boxing champ had been a Boy Scout-and the man nodded that he had. Tadeusz then handed him the watch and asked the boxer to help get him transferred to a better job in the camp. The man promised to do so, and a week later, Tadeusz found himself working in the camp kitchen-where for the first time ever in the camp he began to actually build himself up physically, i.e. as he received regular nourishment for the first time in a year.
The story of his time in the kitchen is an important one because one perceives a sort of Stalag-17-functioning resistance working out of the kitchen in Auschwitz led mostly by Polish political prisoners. Tadeusz was able to help out a lot.
Alas, by the end of 1942, the SS had gotten wise to the personal suasion and connections fostered over years by these older camp prisoners, and, therefore, began to put spies and peoples of other nationalities, such as Ukranians in their midst. In one of these catches against the camp cooking staff, Tadeusz was caught up (and like many of the older Polish political prisoners that same winter), so he was sent off to another work camp: Buchenwald.
1943-1945: Five more Camps in Two Years
Before WWII was over, Tadeusz had gotten a working tour of various famous extermination and industrial work camps. His first stop was in Buchenwald, where he and other newly transported prisoners had to start over in a new pecking order. This meant that even the senior political prisoners had no connections or support network at these other prison camps. This shifting from camp to camp would happen several times over Tadeusz' next two years in confinement.
For Tadeusz, probably the worst place he could have ended up was where he got caught in a life-or-death fire in the cellar of a V1Rocket factory. (There was no way prisoners could have thought of escaping it would seem, i.e. so far under the earth.) This fire took place because some Russian prisoners had successfully sabotaged some weaponry at the site. The SS soldiers response was ruthless and all prisoners in Tadeusz' block were told that none of the Russian prisoners would not be allowed to eat until someone turned someone in. Tadeusz and his fellow prisoners could not look each other in the eye as the Russians received no substance day after day.
After several days of this, the Russians flipped out. Some Russian set the underground area on fire in hopes of some of them escaping into the night.
Tadeusz was caught in this fire and was burnt badly. Hundreds of other prisoners either died in the flames, or from smoke or were shot fleeing through the few doors and window. Luckily for Tadeusz, that particular underground camp, Muelsen, belonged to a much larger work camp 5 hours to the west. Therefore any surviving wounded prisoners or guards were sent to that camp's medical facilities. This camp was in Bavaria and was known as Flossenburg.
Again, a particular miracle worker stepped in at this camp and saved Tadeusz' life. It seems that this medical professional, too, was Polish and like Tadeusz, was a survivor of Auschwitz. This particular Pole worked overtime for months cleaning Tadeusz' wounds of scraps of earth and stones embedded in the wounds. The polish medical profession also oversaw and treated him for all related infections. Later, when Tadeusz, was sent out to work in the camp, this same new savior of Takeusz helped him again and again-even keeping Tadeusz from the hands of a maniacal German camp doctor, who liked to do horrible experiments and related dangerous surgeries on patients.

But I've really only started porting my designs over to Shapeways. I notice I cannot just directly port over because most of my models are way too detailed and not optimized for 3D printing. So I think its easier for me to start creating models with Shapeways in mind if I want to 3D print them. I've seen amazing designs and I hope I will be able to create something just as amazing!

Hurrah! I'm a native and still resident of a large city to the south and west of the megalopolitan juggernaut that is New York known by the name of Philadelphia. So close but really actually a little too far to go for the casual meet up and brown bag type of shmooze event though I do make it out to "the City" approximately every other weekend and that frequency might increase. The Bronx, albeit, but never mind that... My background in 3d modeling dates back to the early 90s when I worked for a boutique outfit marketing collections of 3d models distributed on CD ROM. I was the technical issue problem solver and utility program author. Our primary software was Wavefront and as a side note one of the tasks I undertook then was to write programs to manipulate obj files and to develop production processes for taking obj files and converting them to a host of other animation software formats such as 3dStudio and Lightwave and VRML and on and on. So I became passingly familiar with a whole lot of different modelers. Yet not a modeling specialist. My toolkit today consists mainly of Adobe Illustrator, which I became very friendly with in my time as a cartographer in the late 80s, when things were still being done by hand using copy cameras and rubylith paper, and of course Blender. I look forward to making your virtual and possibly occasional meatspace acquaintance through this institution as I forge ahead in my quest to squeeze as much detail as I can possibly get into jewelry sized objects using 3d printing.

My name is Jitse but please feel free to call me Jay, as most people do. I am a ex mil and war vet currently living in the Netherlands, but if plans go through that will not be for long. I dabbled all my life with art stuff, mostly airbrush and I did a fair share in building models as a hobby. I slowly rolled into 3D modelling, and probably as a lot do I started with poser and blender. At first I used it to make CG art together with photoshop. I enjoyed making 3D models a lot and at some point in time was asked to make some models and concepts for a Indy game project. It was on a no pay volunteer base but I was rewarded with a copy of 3D Max, which I use these day's to make my thingy's. And now I think it is time to bring my idea's to live in the form of 3D printed models and even hopefully sell them. I am a Jack of all trades, so you might expect a wild variety in products, ranging from jewellery to models, at least that is the plan :-) The main programs I currently use are: 3D Max ZBrush Photoshop Solidworks (just started) I am self teaching so progress is kind of slow but I am determined :-) Well feel free to ask questions if you have them.

Brent Staples, an African American man, has been mistaken for a criminal countless times because of his race. The first time this happened, he scared a young white women when he turned the corner at night, and she ran off, convinced that he was "a mugger, a rapist, or worse." Brent shares instances of people locking their car doors or crossing the street when he walked by, but he says he can't blame them, as "young black males are drastically overrepresented among the perpetrators of… violence." He discusses his childhood in Chester, Pennsylvania where there is "gang warfare, street knifings, and murders" that many of his friends and family have gone to prison or been killed over. He mentions two extreme situations in which he is mistaken for a burglar and tells the story of a journalist mistaken for the killer he was reporting on. Brent Staples makes it clear that these occurrences are continuous and common, and so he has had to make changes to accommodate for these terrified white people in public places by, for example, whistling classic music at night. The point he is trying to make with this article is that Caucasians have some common misconceptions about African Americans, often assuming they are all criminals, even though Brent has clearly illustrated himself as "one of the good boys."

Colombian Swaps Short-Dated Bonds
In May, Colombia swapped $600 million in dollar-denominated
short-dated bonds for longer-dated Colombian peso bonds to
improve the maturity profile of its public debt. The government
also set out to reduce its currency and refinancing risk by
converting dollar debt into local currency debt. The exchange
was originally planned for $250 million, but later more than
doubled to $600 million. The transaction lengthened Colombia's
debt profile to 6.3 years from 6.18 years previously.
In May, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the
private sector arm of the World Bank, invested $2.2 million in
mortgage-backed securities issued by Colombian secondary
mortgage market company, Titularizadora Colombiana. It issued
securities with five- 10- and 15-year tranches for a total of
$212 million. The bonds yield 4%, 5.41% and 6.05%, respectively
and were sold primarily to local pension funds and banks. The
IFC provided a credit enhancement facility...

On the effect of foreign aid on corruption
AbstractThe Okada & Samreth(2012, EL) finding that aid deters corruption could have an important influence on policy and academic debates. This paper partially negates their criticism of the mainstream approach to the aid-development nexus. Using updated data(1996-2010) from 52 African countries we provide robust evidence of a positive aid-corruption nexus. Development assistance fuels(mitigates) corruption(the control of corruption) in the African continent. As a policy implication, the Okada & Samreth(2012, EL) finding for developing countries may not be relevant for Africa.

The Sonoma City Council on Monday voted to put a controversial measure that would limit hotel development on the November ballot, setting the stage for a bruising and divisive battle tied to the city's identity and economic growth.
The Sonoma City Council overcame its previous division Monday and voted unanimously to join the Sonoma County Clean Power Authority.
Sonoma City Council members decided Monday to request a $17,500 impact study on a proposed ordinance that would cap the number of hotel rooms in the city.
Sonoma will be sending a letter to President Obama urging him to oppose a controversial oil pipeline, an action authorized by the City Council Monday night.
Sonoma appears to be the latest city on track to reject joining the Sonoma County Clean Power Authority after a divided City Council on Monday all but turned out the lights on the idea.
The Sonoma City Council is diving head first again into a national debate that extends well outside city limits. Mayor Ken Brown will seek council support Monday to send an official letter to President Obama and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry asking them to deny permits for the Keystone XL pipeline
Sonoma County officials made their final clean power pitch Monday night to a mostly receptive audience in Sonoma.
Pent-up feelings over a proposed hotel in downtown Sonoma, and over an initiative that would curb such growth, spilled over at Monday's City Council meeting. The council voted 4-1 to give City Manager Carol Giovanatto the authority to research consultants for help in preparing a report on the impacts of the proposed ballot measure, should proponents succeed in qualifying it for an election.
Sonoma's city attorney on Monday released a summary of a proposed ballot measure that would limit hotel development in the city, including the controversial Chateau Sonoma & Spa proposed near the Plaza.
The city of Sonoma appears on the verge of acquiring a 98-acre hillside parcel that promises to open up sweeping vistas of the city to the public. But dog owners, long concerned with the transfer of the Montini Preserve to the city, say the latest terms of the deal still exclude them from bringing their pets on the property.

Comments Thread For: Abner Mares Could Move To Featherweight if No Donaire
The super bantamweight world champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC), Abner Mares, is looking at the possibility of moving up to the featherweight divison if he can't get a unification clash with WBO champion Nonito Donaire. Mares is not holding his breath for the fight to happen, as their respective promoters are involved in a bitter feud.
"My promoter (Golden Boy) and Top Rank said they are pushing for this fight, but to be frank I'm hopeful that some day they can do it and it disappoints me a lot [that it's not happening] because it's a big fight for me and people want it," said Mares.

Ditch GBP, go to TR if you want it that bad, Mares. But, Donaire might leave out of fear of losing, and might go back to GBP. That would be funny though if that were to happen.

Beating Moreno > beating any 122 lb fighter other than Donaire
But really, I think Abner might not be big enough for 126. Just look at some of the big guys there, like Salido and Garcia.
But if he moves to 122, he may end up having to fight Gary Russell Jr, which could be when Abner receives his first loss.

Identity is an interesting thing. We can find it in many things or we can find it in one. It can be what we strive for or it can be what we are seen as or looked upon as. The dictionary describes identity as, "the fact of being who or what a person or thing is."
I am a sports fan. Basketball is my main jam. I'm all about it. Summer is a rough time because there isn't much basketball happening especially in light of basketball news going on. I like to follow the basketball sports news. It excites me to see what is going on. Playing and talking about basketball excite me as well. Recently a big name player went back to the team he was drafted by and spent his first seven seasons with. I saw a photo on the sports webpage he had posted. It was off one of his social media pages and it came with a question of what number to wear in his return to his former team. I gave a read to see what people were voting for. But as I read I became saddened. Most people weren't voting for what number he should wear but more so bashing him as an individual. Swearing at him, calling him all sorts of negative things and using many derogatory terms and foul language pointed directly at him for a choice he made four years ago. I imagine a high profile celebrity doesn't really have time to read all of the comments, but I often wonder if he does read them and what he thinks and feels about them. When you are in the spotlight is seems that your identity can change in a manner of moments. He was labeled as a bad guy four years ago after switching teams because he wanted to win and now he seems to have found favour again four years later going back to where he started. He didn't do anything bad or illegal he chased a life goal achieved it and was seen as bad for doing so.
Take another athlete, he did things that were illegal and the worst being an illegal dog fighting ring. He lost everything and even spent time in jail. It has been seven years since he was put in jail and five years since he was given a second chance to play the sport again. Immediately once he got that chance a lot of media backlash happened because of the cruelty and severity of what he did. Now with It being five years later, have people forgotten? I don't known that they have, but they sure have stopped talking about it as much.
Take a non famous person. In a manner of a few days their identity of who they are can change dramatically because of actions that happen and choices they make or things they didn't handle correctly. Whether true or not, who this person was has now been changed dramatically. Do they/did they do good or even great things for the people around them? Yes. Does any of it matter now? At this time it seems that would be a saddened no. To go back to the people writing and cursing the sports star with a question about what number to wear. It is sad to read an article and see people say negative things about someone in a way that leaves them with no responsibility. I find it even more sad when negative things are being said about someone you know and the comments are from people you know but from behind a screen so that no one really knows who you are and no responsibility has to be owned up for. People with no names and photos not of themselves saying negative things because they can.
Identity of most these people isn't known and why would it be or why would it need to be? Free speech has given people a chance to voice opinion after opinion from a comfortable place without giving out their true identity.
In no way am I bashing or looking down on anyone or speaking negatively towards people for what they have said in the things I have written above about. And in no way am I in general speaking negatively towards anyone for words said with no name or face put to them. I don't like most negative comments from anywhere and in any situation because they usually are unnecessary and hurtful. But when I do encounter them I am usually reminded of the age old saying, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." And I try to put that into practice in any and all conversation.
I am in no way a perfect being. I've made my mistakes and continue daily to make them and try not to make them. I have made an identity of myself in the past and have longed to move forward. Something I've come to realise is that when we wrong people it can take long to be forgiven, it can stray us from who we are with the guilt of our mistakes and it can discourage us from carrying on in a positive way. We are affected by the things we do especially when we do things that affect others. Whether in a good way or in a bad way we garner some kind of emotion from the choices we make in life. We choose to make them and then we have to look back on them and live with them. Lifetimes can go by and things never change especially depending on who we are/were and what we did. Some people never forget. Somethings stay with us forever and define us in regard to others thoughts towards us no matter what we do next.
Being a Christian was never said to be the easy life. The world automatically hates you because you choose to live a different way than it. We are called to be in the world but not of it. Living in a world that hates you and wants the worst for you, wanting you to conform to it and accept its ways and beliefs when they differ from the ones you hold and strive to live by, is hard. It is a daily task to walk away from the world and walk towards what God has for you. That is a challenge you will face everyday, every hour, every minute and every second.
Events happen and they change the future, they change lives, they change identity. Accidents happen and they change futures, they change people, they change identity. Life happens and it changes who we are and what our identity is.
Every day is a new day. Every day is a new chance to make something of who you are and what people see you as. Does it matter? I guess in some weird way it might. For me, as I've been growing and learning and watching all I want is for people to see Christ. I don't care what people think of me or think of what I've done, I just want them to see Christ. It is what I want my life to be about. It is who I want to be about. It is what I want my identity to be. I decided long ago that I didn't care much for what people think of me because words just get you down and most news is always playing a bad tune. I've never been afraid to say I believe in Christ and that I will do my best to live for Him even if that means I have to be put down for my mistakes and judged for my wrongs in light of the world or in light of Christ. I've read the Bible and read of the people God used. These people were full of mistakes and wrongdoings, but the story of the Bible and the people God used is full of Grace, Forgiveness, Mercy, Healing and is much bigger than any one individual or their actions. The Bible is full of Love from someone bigger than life itself. Love from someone who created us, who saw us change our identity forever with the eating of the fruit in the garden, but in the end still loving us so much that He sent His only son to die so that we can have a life with Him. Why? Because He values our identity so much He choose to save it. He chose to save it from what the world says we are and from what we do, and have done and will one day do. He chose to save us. He chose to save us. He chose to save us. Why?! Because He loves us more than anything. He loves us just the way He created us (which happens to be in His likeness). He thinks we are beautiful just the way we are, He has our photo on His fridge, in His wallet, on His desk, in His family album. He brags about us. He knows us by name. He loves us. We have no place to get a better identity than from Him and in Him because He is love, He is the creator, He is our Heavenly Father who never leaves or forsakes us. He is the great I am. He has always been and will always be someone who loves us.
Christian artist Lecrae put it this way,
"I'm not the shoes I wear
I'm not the clothes I buy
I'm not the house I live in
I'm not the car I drive, no
I'm not the job I work
You can't define my worth
By nothing on God's green earth
My identity is found in Christ, is found in Christ"
Christian music group Tenth Avenue North said it this way,
"You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade"
Are you living behind some type of screen or mask? What is your Identity? Who are you trying to represent? Who do you actually represent? What are you living for? Who are you living for?
God remade us at the cross. He gave us a hope and a future a new life and importantly a new identity. No matter what happens in this life, no matter what we did or what we someday might do we have a God who wants us and wants us to be found in Him and all we have to do is commit to Him and we will be free from this world and its downfalls. That news is so wonderful to hear. That is a song that has a good tune.
There is a phrase that goes, "I've got 99 problems but a girl ain't one"
That phrase has been remade and it sounds a lot better when put this way, "I've got 99 problems but my faith ain't one."
With the God of the Bible in our corner what else could matter…
we believe? How will they know that Jesus is the one we represent and follow? That we trust in God as our Father, Creator and Protector?
Christian musician Lecrae has a song in which he says, "can they tell you value Jesus by the way you rep His name?"
I was just reading a post of my friend from New Zealand (http://girlthateatschips.blogspot.co.nz/2014/07/my-poor-stolen-dresses.html) where she talking about how she was getting ready for a women's conference which had a dress code and the dress that she wanted to wear was missing. She looked around and well to no avail it was gone and soon later to realise a few more were gone. What encouraged me was at the end what she said was, "It's what you DO, not what you WEAR, that really matters." It reminded me of when a leader on my Discipleship Training School (DTS) with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in New Zealand got his iPod stolen from our van as we were on an outreach function. His iPod was only filled with Christian music and he said he hoped that maybe they would see Christ through it before they deleted the songs. Just as in my friends post she hoped that if someone did steal them that God would bless them and that they would come to know Him the way she does.
Things come and go, people come and go, stuff fades, breaks decays all returns to which it came from the earth whether compostable or not. I believe that if we believe in Jesus, God the Holy Spirit we don't just fade. Our bodies do, the things we own do, but our souls go to a place with others who believe and of course the Creator God, His son Jesus and the Holy Spirit. That place is called Heaven. God gave us a call, a call to go out into the world and share His name and His love. I've been encouraged by friends in the church such as The Godinho Family who goes to Mexico at least twice a year doing missionary work and is currently in Africa doing the same or my friend Ashley Buchert who spent a year in the missions field recently and as well a handful of other small missions trips and just the way she represents Jesus in her life as well as the way the Godinho family does too. And of course Im encouraged by the many friends I know in YWAM giving up the simple things in life, giving up what most consider real dreams of owning a home, a nice car, heaps of stuff and having a good paying job to live on faith, by faith trusting in bigger things with their minds set on eternal things. Its not just the missionaries who encourage me, I mean that is where my heart is but there are plenty of others who live in a way that you can tell, they know Jesus. Church families and friends and as well leaders of small groups and people who just be.
In church on sunday the pastor brought up a famous Christian who apparently buys fancy things and spend extraordinary amounts of money on things like tables and random things in their house. At first I had the feeling of who cares we aren't the ones to be the judge of her, God will in the end, but then he read somethings things she said. I got the feeling she missed something about the call of Jesus about how to show who He is.
I want to be a missionary. I want to show those who don't know God His love. Something that stood out from my first outreach trip to Fiji was what our leaders told us about sharing the gospel. People in Fiji have heard it all. They need to see actions not hear words. It goes back to the saying, "Go out and preach the Gospel and if necessary use words."
The world we live in almost anything we do can show up somewhere that everyone in the world can see. Are we doing life so others see Jesus? Do they see how we value Him by the way we represent His name? Do they see the heart behind what we are doing?
To quote one last song. Artist Jamie Grace describes a song she wrote titled do life big, by saying Jesus lived a big life and calls us to live a big life. Jesus loved, served and gave His all, He lived life big, now its our turn.
"Oh, I wanna love, wanna give every day I live,
I wanna do life big,
I wanna love, serve, and give every chance I get,
I wanna do life big,
Oh, I wanna love, wanna give every day I live,
I wanna do life big,
I wanna love, serve, and give every chance I get,
Oh I wanna do life
I wanna do life big, big"
I've often heard it said a picture is worth a thousand words. A thousand words is actually quite a lot when you think about it. Much can be said in that word frame, much can be conveyed. Stories can be passed on told from one to another in just a thousand words. For me it has been three years now since my best friend Anna Joy Booth passed away and a thousand words is not enough to describe her. This photo about doesn't even hold simply a thousand words to it. There is heaps more. There is a story. A story of the end of a wonderful day. A story of an outreach team that went to the South Sea Island in Fiji for a fun day and is on the bus ride back to town in this photo. So much happened on this day that it couldn't be described in simply a thousand words. Anna's life could never be summed up by the photos that her many friends and family have left of her to remember her by. Nor could they be summed up in just a handful of the memories. She was more than that. She was a follower of Christ, she was a role model, a loving soul, an auntie, a beautiful person, someone who loved all and all loved her back because of her simple heart. She had compassion, she had love, she laughed, she served she was the definition of a heart for people. Most of all she showed me what it looks like to have a heart for where you grew up for the people around you and the place you call home. She showed me what its like to care, to laugh and to cry when its rough. She showed me heart in everything. Anna Joy Booth I miss you just as much as I always have and I am so thankful that I got to know you and your wonderful family. I am thankful for all the memories I have of our fun times together and for the photos and the videos of you that make me both laugh and cry. I am thankful that if I want to hear your voice I still can through the many funny videos you made on outreach and more. I am thankful for most of all for you and for having been in my life and the footprints you left on my heart never to fade away.
Well Jon Acuff I waited. I sent you this post as a guest post for your blog Stuff Christians Like and well I never heard anything back as I was told. I am sure you are busy and get heaps of writings and things you have to sort through and I am okay with that. But I laughed the whole time I was writing this, so now I post it for myself because I just feel the planet earth needs a laugh and I hope they get one from this. *Hint if you have never heard of Stuff Christians Like you should look it up. Funny stuff and the guest post and all of his posts are supposed to be full of satire (which is the funny part of course)…with the exception of serious Wednesdays. Anyway here goes nothing…
Missionary Goggles: Where Real Love is Found…? (originally titled YWAM Goggles: Where Real Love is Found…?, but I felt it needed to be more relevant to all Missionaries)
Does anyone in the missions field even know what real love is? I mean of course those in the missions field love something. They are there volunteering to do Gods work, whom they love. Most likely in a particular place or setting or culture or with a people group they love. But when it comes to relationships with other people (as in the opposite sex) do they know what real love is?
I have most recently spent quite a bit of time in community living with a missions organisation called Youth With A Mission (ywam.org). What a great opportunity it has been to learn more about God and then go make Him known around the world. On my first school I attended my school leaders presented relationships and rules and guidelines and things to know and follow for the school. Funny how the thing that stood out the most was what he called "YWAM goggles." Just like beer goggles he said. "You know the more beers you drink the more prettier the people you're hanging out with get." He told us that because we would be in such close quarters with everyone seeing them day and night and in all walks off life they may suddenly become attractive when normally they really wouldn't.
I didn't believe him, but as it turns out I was wrong. Apparently you can get YWAM goggles and begin to like a girl (or for the girls begin to like a guy) you spend heaps of time with and not even realize it. I know because it happened to me (liking a girl that is) and even though over my first 3 years in YWAM where I took part in being a student and staff I didn't find real love with a human person, I did meet people who did. I meet people that seemed to never fit end up getting married. Some of those couples looked like Ron Burgundy drinking milk on a hot day, but turned out to be like peanut butter and jam in the end…perfect together (of course as long as its strawberry jam and crunchy peanut butter).
So I guess what I am saying is if you do YWAM or another missions organisation or just go into the field for missions don't date there, but do date there but then don't date there or better yet just don't drink beer. And as well remember God always provides and by that I mean the right mate of course, not the beer.
That is my so called inspirational wisdom for the time being, so enjoy it.
Jesus said go into all the world and make disciples (Matthew 28.19)
Pretty simple right?
Well, maybe not. Back then the fastest way they got around was camel or donkey maybe. Nowadays though in a matter of hours we can be in another country crossing over land and seas in an instance.
Jesus still says go into all the world and make disciples (Mark 16.15)
Its still a simple message, that requires a simple action.
The message of Jesus is not a formula. It's not Algebra trying to find its x. It's not science trying to decide whether Pluto is a planet or not (by the way Pluto you will always be a planet to me). It is simple. Jesus left the comfort of Heaven and God and His glory to be a man. One that was mocked, spit on and beat up crowned with thorns and then put to death in a horrific way, a way generally meant for criminals. He survived. And by that I mean the mission His Father sent Him to do was accomplished. He died on that cross for the lives of us all. You, me, Kelly Clarkson, your neighbour, your boss, the homeless guy you see on your block, Eminem and the rest of the world. He didn't die so we could continue to sin, He died so we could be saved from sin, and by saved not just watch out for the ball about to hit you saved, but reaching out to grab your hand to pull you up from drowning in the water saved.
God is calling. Jesus is calling. The Holy Spirit is leading.
Answer. Follow. Share. Go.
Birthdays according to facebook:
1. the day when all your friends gang up on you for good
2. the day when you become the most popular on facebook (of course outside of celebrities, television shows, any one else that has a birthday on the same day and Justin Bieber)
3. the day when no matter what time login your wall and inbox are full
4. the day when people you haven't talked to in days, weeks, months or years decided its a good day to write you (and of course those you talk to regularly as well)
5. your special day of birth and now even facebook acknowledges it
6. the day when family says happy birthday without saying happy birthday
7. finally the day I choose to avoid the hoopla and wait a couple of days before going back online so I can try and manage all the chaos
thanks to everyone who said happy birthday in some form whether it be via message, wall post, phone text/phone call or in person. For my first birthday in 'MERICA in three years and first one I worked on in around four years it was a pretty sweet as day.

Audience Reviews for Heaven's Burning
This film suffers from some lack of development, some inconsistancies in storyline and character roles, some abrupt events, some improveable choices in casting, some weak writing, some cheesiness and some overacting by some smaller cast members. Is that enough "some"s, ladies and gentlemen or do I need "some" more. Also, let us not forget that there is a ton of gratuitous violence and death. That poor robber, driving woman, gun provider, dog, crazy motorized wheelchair guy, farmer and kangaroo. I guess I'm gonna stop the list there, because I'm only allowed to type 25000 characters. I exaggerate, but this film does get pretty crazy. But seriously though, as flawed as the film is, it is saved by a good story, the occasional good line, a decent ending and decent performances from Crowe and Kudoh.
Ultimately, this film is like this review, not terrible, but not terribly great. Of course, the difference is that I expected this review to be bad, where with this film, I expected it to just be the somewhat underwhelming and understandably overlooked piece on Russell Crowe's filmography that it turned out to be. Still, as forgettable as it is, if you happen to come across "Heaven's Burning" - and boy, talk about a big "if" - then it's worth watching, thanks to the enjoyable story and decent performances by the leads. Also, after seeing those mutton chops, I say that they should definately get Russell Crowe if they're ever gonna do an Elvis biopic. Heck, he's got the bloating down now-a-days. Seems like I always need to bring up either Russell's getting out of shape or phone throwing. Anyone think he'd like me?

I liked that little article about the Pirates' potential to be like this year's Tigers. Now it wasn't so much the fact that we were comparing Detroit and Pittsburgh. I compare them a lot myself.
I compare Jim to Jim and note that the one managing up in Detroit knows what he's doing and the one in Pittsburgh doesn't even care what he's doing. We got the wrong Jim folks.
Clearly, as mentioned in a previous comment, the Dodgers are doing fine without Jim Tracy and us Pirates fans actually wish we had Lloyd McClendon back. Just a little bit.
So if in face the Pirates really could go from first to last I have been pondering who they would have to sign to accomplish this feat. The Tigers have Pudge Rodriguez and a pitching staff to be reckoned with. That's just for starters.
The Pirates have Freddy Sanchez and Jason Bay. Freddy doesn't get enough credit (Tracy didn't let him start regularly until he HAD to) and Bay, in my opinion, is overrated. He's a good player, but he has faults.
So what do you think? Cast your ballot...

I think the early voting was indicative of the true opinion of the majority of folks living in the northern portion of the district. I wonder who is voting more recently to even this poll out? Who stands to gain from no change in the administration of the district?
Split the district. Sell the admin building in Virginia. Administer the two districts from offices in a school building in each district. Two separate school boards would more appropriately represent the interests of the youth, and taxpayers, of their district.
Rickster: I believe you are correct. The original results reflected the current attitude toward the school district as a whole. But anytime we have non-scientific polls, we have the possibility of ramping. Splitting, or better yet, dissolving the district entirely provides more positive options for the kids, communities and the people who pay the bills (us). My heart goes out to Tower-Soudan as their school was destroyed by Bob Larson, Charles Rick, Gary Albertson and JCI.
I thought similar thoughts in the past about completely dismantling the district. The kids would adapt. The harder part was the loss of identity of the towns.
As to Larson, Albertson, Rick, and other Board Members who went along, they are remembered for their bad homework, stupid fiscal analyzation and short-sightedness.
Had Kim Johnson been doing her job, the Board might have seen the truth and JCI couldn't have bowled them over.
The entire bunch was incompetent.
Having Kim Johnson watching the school district's finances is like having Colonel Sanders babysit your Chickens!
The vote is presently 74 to 74. I guess ballot box stuffing is alive and well.
While I agree that the cumulative real estate tax base is larger in the north, the bulk of school funds for day to day operations are from per pupil state payments.
I suppose some worry about the building levy and administration of the funds now going to 2142. That could be worked out. Beyond that the only losers in splitting into two districts would be the admin folks who find Virginia quite convenient.
Let us split.
Rickster: Everything you say is true. We would do better separated from 2142, but try to hold together a coalition. I gave my heart and soul in Orr, still prominent members of the community got sucked in by Zelda and Bill Arthur. When it was all over, only one person apologized to me for wavering when he should have held strong. Chances of getting a split are slim, because people being what people do...you can't count on them unless you are from Tower-Soudan.
The district loves having the office in Virginia. Reason? Shopping, restaurants and other amenities. Getting them to give them up would be like pulling teeth out of an elephant. Sorry to say.

It's basically a nice hotel with nice staff, clean rooms, finebreakfast, etc.Also, the 13 minutes walk up to Avenida Paulista seemssafe till late at night, as it is packed with bars and (cheaper)restaurants. If you prefer not to walk, there are a bunch of buses rightoutisde hotel that will take you to Avenida Paulista and beyond (E.G.,university area).So, the location is fine. - Peter
